Chapter One

Zack shuddered against the bed sheets.

He could feel the self-discipline slowly drain away, arms by his sides, glued to his body. His hands itched to reach out and satisfy his needs, but were firmly kept down, fists clenched tightly.

It was the worst possible case scenario.

Cloud Strife was lay before him, those gorgeous eyes gazing into his. The tension between them was unreal, nothing like Zack had ever experienced before. His tongue rolled out onto his lips and licked hungrily at the dry skin.

He cursed pride for being such a burden.

The two of them had been forced into a one-man tent, to escape the cold of Icicle Inn. Zack had immediately requested to be with Cloud, as he felt the most comfortable in his company. He had not expected this scenario, however. The tent was barely big enough for one person… let alone two.

It had been an awkward moment, turning away from one another as they scrambled beneath the bed-sheets. They had tried to shield themselves from one another, but it had been inevitable. In the end, they were forced to clamp tightly together, bodies thrusting against one other.

Zack had scarcely been able to silence the whimper that escaped his lips.

He could feel everything.

The toned stomach pushing against his chest felt like heaven. It had been hard not to roll his eyes into the back of his head. Cloud's gorgeous face was placed right before his, to the point that he could feel the breath against his cheek. That was all too difficult to deal with.

But not the most difficult to deal with.

Their bodies were positioned in such a way that they locked into place. That meant that every part of them was aligned. Each piece of their body clashed together and left nothing hidden, nothing to the imagination. They were able to explore even the most dangerous of places.

Or the most dangerous place.

Zack thanked Shiva that it was cold; at least the temperature was doing something good. Now wasn't the time to get wound up, with his arousal pushed firmly against Cloud's. The Shinra Uniform could hide the embarrassment slightly, but didn't completely conceal the secret within.

It made it impossible to fidget, for every nerve in their bodies would spasm in both delight and shame.

Cloud was slowly turning blue before him, body shivering and teeth chattering. His arms wrapped around his stomach at an attempt for warmth, but did nothing. He was afraid to request for more of the sheet, he was afraid to move, he was afraid to even complain.

Zack could see how much his friend was suffering.

"Are you alright?" he choked, words coming out worse than he expected. "S-Sorry, you okay?" he repeat, clearing his throat awkwardly.

Cloud shook his head. "I've never felt so cold in my life. Nothing is helping me get warm."

Zack bit his lips.

The worst escaped his mouth before he even considered them.

"Come closer then," he purred, throwing his arms around the trembling blonde. "Can't have you turning to ice, can we?"

It was a bad move.

A very bad, bad move.

Cloud tensed beneath him, his signature embarrassment kicking in. The strong arms of his friend wrapped around his smaller figure and held him in a tight embrace. He trembled against him, feeling somewhat relieved that Zack was trembling too, even worse than himself.

Little did he know, it was for the entire wrong reason.

Zack was shaking against the blonde, but it had nothing to do with temperature. The nervousness was slowly overtaking the chill. He tried to stop it, but physically couldn't manage it. The warm breath from Cloud was now tickling against his neck, sending every nerve into sudden overdrive.

He bit his lips until the point of drawing blood, desperate to keep the groan from escaping his mouth.

Cloud stayed rigid as they clumsily they lay there, gazing at the tanned skin before him. He wasn't entirely sure what to do. There was no way he could move himself into a more comfortable position, but he also knew that he wouldn't get to sleep like this. Not when Zack was so close to him.

The man was trembling and shaking against him, but gave no sign of being displeased with their new positioning. Cloud could tell that he was equally tense, though.

This was supposed to be a father figure moment. Why did Zack seem so frightened?

Cloud watched in awe as he breathed heavily against the guy's neck. Each breath caused the skin to raise and cover in goose bumps. It was intriguing to watch. Completely and utterly innocent. He even found himself blowing on it intentionally, watching for the goose bumps to reappear.

Anything to avoid eye contact with his friend, anything to pass the time.

"Ngh!"

The moment of comfort quickly passed and Cloud felt himself be jolted backwards. Zack's hands still clutched at his body, but pushed him backwards in sheer horror. Cloud had felt the body spasm against him; something had clearly sparked off a sensation. What had he done wrong? Zack looked physically frightened.

"What is it?" Cloud asked, his heart thudding against his chest. "What's wrong with you?"

He had blown it.

Zack knew that he had blown it.

"I'm sorry…" he whispered, turning his gaze away from the blonde. "I shouldn't have forced you to get so close to me."

Cloud shook his head. "Why are you apologizing? You were only trying to keep me warm."

The awkwardness had slowly been replaced with confusion.

Zack stared down in terror at his baffled friend, waiting patiently for him to piece the puzzle together. It seemed Cloud's innocence was shielding him from the obvious scenario. He couldn't bear it anymore; it was just too damn difficult.

How could he resist such… perfection?

"I'm sorry…" he repeated, shuffling back towards the blonde. "Gaia, I'm so damn sorry."

Cloud watched in bafflement as Zack crawled back into the cover, nearing towards him. The movement was entirely different this time, though. The friendly and brotherly touch was gone. Cloud no longer felt safe and protected, nor did he feel at risk or fear. But something was different.

The look on Zack's face had turned ravenous.

Gloved hands clutched nervously at his clothing and drew Cloud back towards the cover. It wasn't until his stomach rippled that he realised where exactly Zack had began touching. There was no longer a grip on his back, cradling him to comfort. There was no longer a hand placed firmly against his side.

The man had began caressing his stomach…

"Stop me…" Zack begged, digging his head into the blonde's shoulder. "You have to stop me..."

The blonde squeezed his thighs together, making no attempt to wriggle away.

… It wasn't supposed to feel this good!

"I can't," Zack gasped, hands gliding down the trembling body. "I'm so sorry, I can't..."

He paused directly above the blonde's crotch. "Gaia, please."

Cloud wasn't entirely sure how to react, this had all happened way too fast! It hadn't been expected! He knew he should pull away from the man, but found himself unable to. His body ground against Zack involuntarily, loud moans escaping his lips.

Too confused to embrace it, but too pleasured to ignore it.

"Forgive me," Zack whispered in his ear, grunting as he flicked at the zipper. "I can't stop..."

Cloud couldn't bring himself to resist.

... But in the end, he didn't have to.

"Ugh."

The blonde whimpered at the loss of contact; Zack quickly drawing away from his crotch, placing a hand instead onto his blushing cheek. It was both a relief and a disappointment to him. Cloud gazed at his friend with bewildered eyes, watching in awe as Zack's flashed in excitement. There was shame flickered across that face too, one of which Cloud had never seen so strong.

What did he fear so much about him?

"I'm sorry," Zack choked, his thumb brushing against the blonde's jaw line. "Forgive me for not being able to stop."

Cloud frozen in both horror and anxiety, gawping as the man neared once more towards him. Those lips were puckering, leaving no question as to what was about to happen. The fire returned to his stomach, which he tried to ignore, but could not. He was too tired to consider his actions. It seemed right to just… go with his feelings.

His own body moved forward and his lips edged towards Zack's mouth.

The tension was far too powerful, surging between them as they gazed into each other's eyes.

Eyes…

Eyes…

Cloud stopped in his tracks. "Wait."

He gawped at the man before him, unsure whether his eyes were playing tricks on him or not. Only seconds ago, were they about to do something incredibly risky. Something which would undoubtedly changing everything. It seemed almost impossible to believe that Zack... had fallen asleep.

... Zack had fallen asleep.

"What!"

Did Zack really fall asleep, or was he just avoiding the possibly fatal moment? ;)

Don't know if I'll continue this?
