Pairing: Cid/Vincent, Vincent/Cid

Warnings: obsession with chocolate, oneshot, possible death threats, weird, um…cussing

Comment: Musing again! This time it's FF7

Author's comment: A friend and I were doing crap and then I got inspired so there. PS, chocolate is good And so I dedicate this fic to that friend because without them this wouldn't be possible. Now if things sound stupid in the fact, blame that on myself. It's my first true Cid/Vincent fic, so sue me.

Chocolate Temptations

"………."

"God, would you stop with the freakin silence already!" Cid was sitting on the bed, trying, TRYING his best to read his newspaper. Except it really wasn't just that easy. Why? Because of the brooding dark haired demon…human…whatever the fuck he was sharing the room with him! Actually Cloud was sharing as well, but he'd left them there, off to get supplies on his own knowing him. God damn guy couldn't even give one considered thought to the fact that he had companies to help him. Right now they were on a mission, scouting out the city in search of a particle crystal that was in the enemy hands. They just needed to locate it before actually coming up with a better plan. But the city was so hectic and filled with soldiers wondering around it wasn't just that easy.

People were suspicious of newcomers it seemed. And what would be weirder than a spiky haired kid and a guy that acted like a vampire? As for himself…well shit he was one of the more normal of the group, though he did have his…kicks. As it turned out, Cloud had decided to take him and Vincent along with him. Kind of a shock considering he had known Tifa and Barret way longer than Vincent and him. Not that Cid was complaining but maybe Cloud just found them more capable of taking care of themselves…that and Barret really didn't have a level head when it came to these things.

A sudden sound of the other sitting down on the bed across from him brought his attentions back to the problem at hand. To be honest Cid hadn't known Vincent for quite that long, hell how long has it been? About two weeks? Probably longer than that but it wasn't like he was keeping count. And still the man was brooding. It was like he just wanted to die or something. Could anyone be THAT depressed? Then again there were times he thought he saw a smile on the other's face, a little one. But then again that could have been Cid's eyes playing tricks on him. The guy was fucking gorgeous though, well if you were a female anyways. Then again at times he did look kind of feminine with that long hair…if he tried he could pass off for a girl. But just a glance was enough to answer that. Vincent may be an antisocial depressed man, but he still had dignity in himself that he wouldn't let be destroyed easily.

Cid sighed a bit, grumbling irritable under his breath as he pulled a cig out sliding it between his lips. He didn't light it yet, debating on doing it since there was a rule against smoking in the inn. But screw it, who was going to know? He started reaching into the pocket on his jacket and pulled out his lighter. Cloud might not like it but he wouldn't complain. As long as they followed his orders, saved the world, whatever, it didn't matter. Cid was just about to light his cig when he noticed the other looking at him.

"What?" He asked as he lifted the flame up letting it touch on the cig and sucking in, a stream of smoke flying up into the air from the tip.

"…You shouldn't be smoking." Vincent said it simply, giving no true feelings on what he really thought. Apparently he was just stating the obvious for all Cid knew.
"Yeah well, guess what? I'm fucking gonna do what a please." Pulling the Cig away he blew a puff of smoke into the air before he looked at Vincent, noticing the fall of his bangs over one eye, the darkness of his hair flowing down his back and draping over the sheets. He even noticed the dark sad looking red eyes that always watched, stared sometimes towards him or the others. That was if he didn't have a wall or a floor to stare at. But really…was it necessary to wear all of those clothes? Well…like that cape just blocks out every god damn thing.

"That doesn't make it right," Vincent stated standing to his feet as he walked over to the window and stared out of it. A small wind blew through the open window causing Vincent's cape as well as the curtains to flutter slightly. Looking over, Cid stared at him. He was like a fucking wolf, a wild beast waiting to be set free. A bright moonlight was shining outside casting a glow on Vincent's face. As if his skin wasn't pale enough, the moonlight didn't seem to help in adding any color. Well to be honest Cid kind of liked that dark black hair contrasting his ghostly pale skin. Sometimes it made him wonder what the other would look like naked. And sometimes that wondering made him feel guilty considering that woman back home and her undying love for him.

"I don't think it matters if it's right or not. If I wanna do it, then I'll do it. And a damn inn isn't about to stop me." Cid took another puff from the cig, staring at Vincent even more, daring him to make him stop smoking. It didn't happen though, the other staying where he was. Damn why did he have to be stuck with the freak? Fine so a talking tiger cat or whatever he was could be considered even weirder but still…. Well he couldn't complain much, at least Vincent was sexy if not sexual. At least that Cid knew of. It made him wonder if the other even knew about sex or what the hell it was. He wouldn't be shocked though if he didn't.

"Smoking causes a person to have an early death. That means you just want to die earlier." Vincent turned slightly looking over at him before he returned his gaze back out to the window.

"Damn it, just because I like to smoke doesn't mean I'm asking to be struck down!" But either way it was enough to make Cid set aside his cig for now. He smothered the thing and set it down on the dresser beside his bed. It wasn't Vincent's words that made him do it, just the fact that he was whining mercifully over it.

"It's bad for the people around you too," Vincent said as if he noticed nothing, leaning his form out more into the blowing wind, his eyes closing. "You could end up killing them with your smoke."

"I put it out, ok? So stop whining about it already." Cid grumbled reaching behind his head and rubbing slightly before he leaned back laying down and closing his eyes slightly. He was pretty fucking tired to be honest. Damn did their leader get stuck in a grocery line or something?! He wasn't back yet! "Anyway, why are you being so talkative all of a sudden?!" Not that Cid wanted to consider it talking, more like admonishing and stuff.

Vincent didn't respond to his question, instead turning around, moving back towards his bed next to Cid's. He wasn't used to being around Vincent in the group that often. Normally the other was always in a corner staying to himself, never questioning their mission. If Cloud said let's go do this, then Vincent willingly went along. Just what kind of obligation was he having to the blonde kid? With a little grunt Cid reached into his other jacket pocket. Fine, if he couldn't have his cigs then he'd find something else to satisfy his cravings. As he pulled the small packet out of his pocket he sat up, starting to unravel it, not noticing the intent look Vincent was shooting his way. The other was curious but not curious enough to voice it.

As Cid broke off a piece of the chocolate he looked up, almost startled by the fiery look Vincent was giving him. He hesitated before lifting the piece of chocolate to his lips, popping it into his mouth and chewing to his satisfaction, the taste melting on his tongue.

"What? You want some or something?" Cid said gesturing towards the chocolate bar in his hand. Ok it was more like a metal box with flat layers of chocolate in it, easy to hold on to and more assessable and fresh. Vincent snorted and turned his head away placing his focus somewhere, anywhere but at the man and his chocolate. It was enough to make Cid curiously tilt his head to the side wondering what the man was thinking. Breaking off another piece of the chocolate, Cid leaned over and pushed the dark thing between Vincent's lips before the other could protest.

A wave of emotions flashed through Vincent's eyes, all in an instant that made it too fast for Cid to read even a one of them. After a moment, Vincent's mouth started to move, devouring the tiny but tasty morsel. Who wouldn't want to eat one? But did he have to make it look so sexy? Honesty?! To distract himself, Cid broke himself off another and popped that into his mouth, his eyes watchful of Vincent.

"Well?" He said waiting on some kind of response. He didn't receive one, but Vincent's eyes were on him now, waiting to see his next move with such intensity Cid wasn't sure he even wanted to move. He finally gave in once he saw this was going nowhere, and broke another piece off, intent on eating it whether the other liked it or not. As he was lifting it to his lips though, Vincent's mouth opened in a slight gape, his beautiful red eyes fastened on the piece of chocolate.

It was a little unnerving to see Vincent responding like this, but to test it out Cid lifted his arm up watching those eyes follow it's every move. He moved it from one side of him to the other and still Vincent followed it looking antsy and ready to pounce at a moment's notice. It was like he was a puppy…a very untamed puppy…a puppy that looked like he was about to bite Cid's hand off if he didn't give him the tasty treat.

Holding the candy in the palm of his hand, he gave a bit of a grin, finding this to be probably one of the most interesting things he'd seen all day. "You want some more or should I just finish this off?"

As if realizing what he was doing, Vincent quickly looked away clenching his hands into the sheets of the bed as he took a deep breath. "Just keep your goods to yourself, Highwind." Wow, he sounded agitated. Cid liked that…. That means he was receiving some sort of emotion aside from that monotonous one.

"Wow, you didn't seem to mind it all that much a minute ago," Cid pointed out, eating the piece of chocolate before it could melt further. It did melt some anyway and he ended up having to lick the mess from his hand, not that he complained. It was some damn good chocolate. Vincent was watching him, from the corner of his eyes and Cid actually had the audacity to lick his lips and suck a finger clean. "Have you even had chocolate before?"

"Why would I need it? Scientist do no need chocolate."

"Well you're not a scientist now are you?" Cid received a glare for that and grumbled throwing his arms up in defeat. "Fine whatever. I try to make a fucking conversation and this is what I get for it." He flopped down laying on his back on the bed, nudging his boots off. He had closed his little chocolate containing and mumbled something low before he closed his eyes. He didn't need to take this shit, not from no one…well anyone. He was just going to go to sleep and hope things passed by quickly. Even though he was probably in the wrong for what he said, he wouldn't admit that.

"….I'm sorry." Cid opened his eyes, thinking he imagined that before he glanced over at Vincent. He was looking down, so Cid couldn't see his eyes, not with all that hair blocking them.

"You say something?" Vincent lifted his head up staring at Cid with those damn red eyes of his and it made Cid have to look away from them, holding his chocolate container clenched in his hand. Fuck, why did he have to be so damn attractive?

"I'm sorry. I'm still…not used to people it seems." He was still just staring causing Cid to swallow. Staring staring…why the staring? "I still have to work at this."

Cid grinned then sat up again, holding the chocolate container in both hands. "See now, that's what I'm talking about! You should learn to be more optimistic!"

"Like you?"

"Yeah like me!" Cid pointed to himself as if to state this for a fact. It apparently was enough to make Vincent actually give his little smile and oh god what Cid wouldn't do to just have him right then. Aside from the threat of Cloud walking in or Vincent's gun in his face, he would kiss him in an instant. Coughing slightly, he reached down opening the small chocolate container again. "So let's try this again huh?" He took out a flat square of chocolate and broke off a piece holding it out to Vincent. "Would you like some or not?"

Vincent was still hesitating but he eventually relented reaching out and taking the small morsel from Cid's fingers. "Thank you." Yeah Vincent was polite when he wanted to be. Cid just watched him, watched the piece of chocolate disappear between his lips. It's a shame he probably didn't know how sexy he looked while doing that. Even that blasted hand of his had a strange sleekness that did not take away from Vincent's looks…now if only he would get rid of most of those clothes….

"You're welcome. Just don't freak out. If you want another one just say so." Cid snorted at that and took another bite of the chocolate. He saw Vincent staring at him again, that unreadable look in his eyes and Cid shifted again, clearing his throat before reaching down breaking off a fresh piece and looking up again at Vincent. "So do you want another piece?"

At Vincent's nod, Cid licked at his lips anxiously before he pushed the small chocolate square against Vincent's lips. He would have gasped at the sexuality of it, how Vincent stared at him with this look, how he opened his mouth to take the chocolate it, and how finally he slide his tongue back out to lick away what chocolate had melted to Cid's touch. If Cid knew any better he would say that the other was either flirting or had an extreme chocolate addiction that far surpassed normal. He found himself staring into those dark pool of red eyes, his fingers rubbing back and forth over the tender lips as he started to move closer, Vincent's eyes slipping shut as he exhaled a breath of air. This was it! Cid was finally going to do it! He was going to get his first kiss from the dark haired male!

"Sorry it took so long. I decided to take a look into things. We can get inside the…." Cloud had stopped talking by now having made it to the middle of the room before he noticed the two. Cid, hearing Cloud's voice, had quickly jumped back from Vincent looking all too guilty. Vincent didn't seem to respond too much besides the color appearing in his cheeks. Cloud lifted a brow slightly before he just shook his head. "Whatever. I'm not going to ask. It's not my business. Anyway I manage to buy some stray guard outfits from someone in town. We should be able to…dress up…and…sneak in……..is that chocolate?" Cid could already see that hungry gaze before Cloud had even finished speaking and he had to mentally sigh to himself. Oh boy, looks like he was going to have to make a trip to get some more chocolate soon.
