This is the first chapter of my first SephCloud story. I think it went well, but it wouldn't hurt if others would read this too and I'd be thankful to those who would comment too!
Please enjoy!

CHAPTER I
It was yet another ordinary day. . .though the rain had blackened out the beautiful blue skies. The streets were barren of the presence of the people and all that could be heard are the faint footsteps of someone who seemed not to care about the rain.
Cloud was caught in deep thought, as he always was; thinking of many things that seemed to trouble him. He was a boy who had dreams though, but those dreams were incorporated into his mind by 'meeting' a certain person; the hero that all the world reveres; Sephiroth. He has never taken the silver-haired hero off of his mind; he never cared if he was doing this just because he idolized the man or if he was actually coming up with something else.
Finally, the day he had awaited came; the fated day to go to the Shin-Ra Company for the SOLDIER orientation. He had always dreamed of being a part of SOLDIER and it was also one way of suppressing his weakness for General Sephiroth. "You're new around here, aren't you?" a voice from behind him said, "Huh?" Cloud replied as he turned around, "What's your name?" the black haired guy asked, "Uh. . .it's Cloud. Cloud Strife." Cloud answered quite shyly as he looked at the SOLDIER 1st class standing before him.
"As for me, I'm Zack Fair. But you can just call me Zack." The black haired SOLDIER replied as he smiled and shook Cloud's hand, "P-Pleased to meet you, Zack." Cloud said, "Good luck on the road to being a SOLDIER." Zack said as he patted Cloud's head and went to greet the others.
A couple of minutes later, the real orientation began and the SOLDIER 1sts were being introduced; Cloud couldn't wait to see the General and even forced his way to line in front. One by one they showed themselves, first was Genesis Rhapsodos, then it was Angeal Hewley and finally, it was Sephiroth.
Cloud felt his body heat up and his heart beat so fast. . .he wanted to step up to the General and catch his attention, but who was he to speak to him? He was not even owning a rank that high. Instead, he listened to Sephiroth's voice; feeling every word that he said.
It had been months after that day had occurred in his life and he had started receiving missions; exterminating monsters and observing Mako reactors. . .it was none out of the ordinary, but Cloud worked with great determination.
One day, he decided to go training in one of Shin-Ra's training facilities; Lvl. 49. Since there were no people inside, he accessed the computer by himself and commenced the 'virtual training'. He had chosen a mission harder than those he's chosen before. "I don't know what'll happen but. . .I have to do this." Cloud whispered to himself as he started fighting.
Time and again, he had won countless battles and was about to log out when the program suddenly changed, next thing Cloud knew was that he was pitted against a summoned creature; Bahamut. "What the heck?!" Cloud said as he clumsily picked up his gun and loaded it. He tried to attack the creature, but it was to no avail, he was taking in too much damage that it caused him to stagger.
As Cloud was brought to his knees, a sudden sharp sound of metal slashing through Bahamut was heard and then Cloud blankly gazed at the figure and murmured "Sephiroth. . .".
When he woke up, Cloud saw that he was lying on a bed and next to him was the General; Cloud was speechless and just jolted out of the bed. "Take it easy. You collapsed while training earlier. . ." Sephiroth said, "It's so embarrassing. . .I disturbed you. . . .and. . .you even let me stay in your bed. . ." Cloud answered; the longest reply he had ever remembered saying.
"It's alright. We need to take care of our fellow SOLDIERS too." Sephiroth said as he looked at Cloud who was too shy to face him, "I-I must go. . .thank you, General." Cloud said as he headed for the door. "Why must you go so quickly?" Sephiroth said as he hugged Cloud from behind, "General, w-what are you doing?!" Cloud answered; hiding his already pent-up emotions. "Isn't this what you've always wanted? My attention?" Sephiroth said as he slowly took off Cloud's shirt then carried him to the bed, "I-I didn't mean it this way. . .!" Cloud protested, but the moment he felt Sephiroth touch him, he could not resist; because this was what he wanted.
