"Ruminating…"

Zack looked down at the boy who was clinging onto his chest.

"You so are."

Zack sighed and laughed. "I don't even know what that word means… isn't that how animals digest food?"

"Sorta…"

Zack closed his eyes and felt the brunet crawl further on top of him, one of his eyes opened and he kissed the boy sensually on his cheek. He wrapped an arm around him and pulled the brunet close.

"I missed you." Sora nuzzled into the hollow part of Zack's neck.

"I missed you too." It was moments like these that the ex-SOLDIER thought must have been called "Perfection." Zack eventually drifted into his thoughts, he began thinking about Sora and one thing led to a next…

"Ruminating." Sora repeated.

"Ruminating?"

"You think too much." Sora explained. He sat up and looked at his lover. "Thinking too much is bad for you, you know?"

"Right, because thinking is a bad thing." Zack chuckled and closed his eyes; he really loved how soft Sora's bed was… he could lie here forever…

"Don't ignore me!" Sora smiled. "Too much thinking leads to stress, and you are stressed enough as is!"

Zack didn't reply, he just kept his eyes closed.

Sora dug his head into the raven haired man's stomach, "You know I hate it when you're stressed." His voice was parallel to quiet yet he knew the other one heard him.

"I'm sorry… it's just who I am… In SOLDIER you had to analyze everything and choose what the best motive was."

"But you're not in SOLDIER anymore… so just live your life. Stop worrying and thinking." Sora placed his chin on Zack's rough chest and looked at the man's blue eyes.

"Okay…" Zack sighed. "I will stop over thinking…"

"Good… you don't need the stress, with that much work already."

Their conversation was interrupted by the beep of Zack's watch.

"Sora… I have to go."

"Five more minutes…" Sora begged, tightening the grip around his lover. He knew Zack had to leave, he knew that the man would be back in a few hours but he never wanted to be separated from the man. Whether several months or just a few seconds apart… he wanted to be with the person he loved. Sora sighed knowing that Zack would have to get up and leave…

"Fine, five more minutes…" Zack smiled.

Sora looked up with a smile, a small laugh escaping his lips, "The stop over thinking is working isn't it?"

"Well thinking too much leads to hair loss you know." Zack smiled, "You didn't think I did it for you, did you?"

"You are such a dick…" Sora sighed, he hated being teased… He just dug his head inside Zack and enjoyed the perfect moment…
