Broken Promises - Chapter One

Cloud was the perfect 'housewife'. He would cook his lover, Sephiroth, meals and clean the house while he was away working as a SOLDIER, which he knew put a large physical strain on him.

One night, however, Sephiroth went out and spent some time with his friends, rather than coming home and putting his feet up, while eating whatever splendor Cloud had cooked up for him that evening. As he sat down at the bar, ordering himself a beer, a farmiliar red-head wandered over and sat beside him, ordering a vodka and coke for himself.

"Pah. A woman's drink." The silverette smirked slightly, knocking back half a pint of his beer.

"Oh, you know me, Sephy. Always been quite femine, yo." Reno cooed back, taking a

dainty sip of his drink, trying to prove the point he had just made. Sephiroth chuckled to himself as his mind wandered to the cute blonde who awaited his return, but shrugged the thought away as Reno slipped a hand over the inside of Sephiroth's thigh. He gave a warning glare, making Reno retract the hand and take another weak sip of his drink. Sephiroth finished his beer and ordered something stronger.

"Drink as much as you want, so long as you can get home by the morning so I can make you pancakes and coffee to sober you up" Cloud had told him that morning. Sephiroth, after hearing those words, was determined to get 'shit-faced'.

As he downed the last of his third drink of vodka, Sephiroth had achieved his goal, and Reno had slipped his hand, once again, in between his thighs and started stroking Sephiroth's package. Instead of refusing the hand, he welcomed it and leaned over to whisper in Reno's ear; "Shall we go somewhere more... private?" At which Reno leapt up almost too eagerly and practically dragged Seph away to his apartment.

Reno bedded the silverette, stripping him and starting to lick at the other's shoulders and neck, moving down his chest beginning to suck on the other's erection. Sephiroth, obviously too drunk to seme Reno, just layed there and let a few moans escape his chapped lips every now and again.

As Reno started fucking him, He wrapped his legs around his thin waist and gripped his shoulders. He had never been topped before, and he loved it.

"Ah-Reno! Don't stop!" He had begged, just as Reno came for the second time.

Eventually, when the two had finished their activities, Sephiroth was driven home by Reno, who only had half a drink.

He clambered into his warm bed beside cloud, still fully clothed. Cloud rolled over and nuzzled into Seph's chest, but he smelt someone else on his clothes. "Sephiroth, why do you smell like somebody else?" He asked, looking up into Sephiroth's half closed snake-like

eyes.

"It was just the pub, lots of people were bumping into me" he replied casually, looking down into Cloud's mako eyes. The blonde just nodded, satisfied with his explanation, snuggling back into sephiroth and falling asleep until he awoke to the sound of his alarm at 5:30 the next morning. Thankfully, Sephiroth didn't have work that day, so Cloud quickly switched off the sound and quietly crept out of bed and to the kitchen, while Sephiroth still slept like a log.

He began to make a pile of pancakes for the two of them, also brewing a pot of coffee for 'Sephy' to take his painkillers with. Cloud bounded back up the steps and awoke the sleeping silver beauty, who rolled over, snorted and groaned as he sat up, clutching his bed-head.

"Mornin' sleepy" The blonde smiled cutely. "I made you some pancakes and coffee, there are some painkillers downstairs aswell for your headache."

The silverette got out of the bed, shrugged off his shirt and went downstairs in his boxers. He sat at the kitchen table, ate a couple of pancakes and took his ibuprofen, before slumping over and groaning.

"Owwww my head..." He grunted as Cloud hugged him softly.

"Maybe you should go take a shower. That'll liven you up a bit." Cloud grinned and helped his boyfriend to stand, walking him to the bathroom and helping him into the shower.

By this time, Sephiroth's painkillers had already started to kick in. He grabbed cloud by the waist and began to feather light kisses over his neck, shoulders and ears. Cloud blushed as

he was pulled under the jet of lukewarm water, his pyjama trousers and boxers getting soaked. He decided he didn't care though, and wrapped his arms round his lover's neck as

the silver haired man pushed the blonde's trousers down and began to stretch his entrance.

Cloud moaned as Sephiroth lifted him and began bouncing him on his erection, the shower of water droplets parading on their skin.

Soon after, they both came and began washing themselves. they dressed when finished and sat on the sofa, cloud's feet up on Sephiroth's lap, and watched TV for a while.

After about 3 hours of them watching different programmes, flicking through channels and making out every so often, the doorbell went.

"I'll get it" Sephiroth grumbled as he climbed off of cloud, after their sixth or so make out session.

"Whatcha doin', yo?" The red head asked, inviting himself in and sitting beside cloud, leaving sephiroth to stand against the wall and watch Reno cautiously.

"Just wanted to tell you how much fun I had lastnight. You're pretty tight, Sephy." Reno teased. Cloud's eyes widened, he stood and went over to sephiroth, then turned to Reno.

"Did you two have sex lasnight?" he asked, his eyes watering and his breath getting caught in his throat.

Reno said nothing, so he turned to his boyfriend. "Did you..." he whimpered, hardly wanting to say the words; "Have sex... lastnight?" he closed his eyes and balled his fists up. Sephiroth gave no answer, just looked down guiltily. Cloud yelled and kicked and screamed at sephiroth, before Reno grabbed him from behind trying to calm him. Cloud then turned on Reno, blaming him for it all.

"GET THE FUCK OUT. BOTH OF YOU!" He growled slumping himself down on the couch and curling into a ball, crying his broken heart out.

Both of the other men left while Cloud just layed on the sofa, eventually running out of tears to cry.

He decided to call his mother, to ask if he could stay with her and his father for a while.

"Of course you can, honey. you can stay for as long as you need to." She had answered, after Cloud had explained the situation.

Cloud began to pack up his things, also packing one of Sephiroth's favourite shirts and his cologne.

Once cloud had packed up most of his stuff, he wrote a note which he stuck on the front door.

"Gone to stay with my mom, Don't know when i'll be back. Sephiroth will take care of the mail."

Then, he set off. he got a train to his parents' town. The three hour long train journey seemed to take forever to Cloud. But he hopped off the train at the end of it, and met his parents past the gate. His mother took him into her arms, giving him her 'comforting hug'. His dad just nodded at him. He had never approved of Cloud's sexuality, but he had never argued with it either.

Cloud's dad drove him and his mom back to their house, showing Cloud back into his old bedroom from when he was a teenager, not that long ago.

"Welcome home, Son." His mother smiled as Cloud dropped his bags and let out a small smile. He could smell the odour of the pizza shop that was next door. He used to sit on his bed with the window wide open, trying to guess what pizza toppings they were using and what the individual ingredients were in the pizza dough.

"It's good to be home..." He said quietly as his parents backed out of the room, giving him some space to unpack.
