Imprisoned
Cloud slowly opened his eyes, feeling comfortably warm. The light was dim, indicating early morning but enough that he could make out the wall... the wall? That wasn't the wall of his room in the Seventh Heaven!
Cloud felt a body pressed close to his. A suspiciously muscular body... He quickly turned around and came face to face with a sleeping Sephiroth. With a yell that shocked Sephiroth out of his sleep, Cloud used his feet to vault himself out of the bed, landing roughly on his rear on a tiled floor.
Sephiroth himself was out of bed in an instant, looking livid...and stark naked. Sephiroth ignored his nudity and advanced on Cloud, ready to fight. He grabbed Cloud's shoulder roughly and hauled him up and against the wall. Cloud felt a thrill of horror when he realized that he too was naked.
"Where am I Cloud and what are you doing here?" Sephiroth asked menacingly. Cloud winced in pain as he grabbed Sephiroth's wrist with his free hand to try to free himself. "How am I supposed to know?! I fell asleep in Tifa's bar last night and I woke up here next to you!"
Sephiroth released Cloud, causing Cloud to hit the floor again. "More to the point, how are you even alive? I killed you two years ago when Kadaj fused with Jenova's head!" Cloud growled.
Sephiroth frowned in confusion. "I'm not even sure myself how I am here. I only remember floating in the Lifestream. Then I seemed to have lost conciousness until I woke up here to your screaming".
Cloud looked around. Where WAS here anyway? The light was growing stronger, and Cloud could see they were in a large, beautiful room with marbled floors and walls and a large black canopy bed. The only other furniture in the room was a round cherry wood table in the middle just in front of the bed with two matching chairs, and a large dresser against one wall with a large widescreen TV on it and a small loveseat in front of it. A curtained window was against the opposite wall and a large circular tub was in a corner. That was all that was in the room.
Cloud jumped a little when Sephiroth spoke again "I don't see a door anywhere so I'm not sure how we were even brought here". Sephiroth strode to the window and flung open the curtain. Cloud blushed furiously when Sephiroth turned and gave Cloud an excellent view of his perfectly sculted ass but the moment passed when Cloud saw what was outside the window.
Instead of a landscape, they saw a huge black void, as if they were floating in space. Cloud got up and peered out the window and saw there was no ground at all, just void everywhere they looked. Sephiroth seemed just as disturbed and quickly closed the window.
"Where in the world are we?" Cloud asked weakly. "I'm not sure but it seems like we are stuck here" Sephiroth answered.
The two turned back towards the bed and to both of their surprise, the table was set for two and several dishes of food were on it. "Where'd that come from? I didn't hear anyone come in!" Cloud said, looking around. Sephiroth shrugged "I don't know but I'm not going to turn down food."
They both sat down and started to help themselves to the food, although Cloud warily smelled the food before taking a bite. Sephiroth wasn't at all cautious as he took half a loaf of bread and bit into it ravenously. He also grabbed a large sausage link from a platter with his fork and ate it in two bites before taking a large gulp of orange juice. His face looked ecstatic.
Seeing Cloud staring at him, he said "It's been a long time since I had anything to eat. The last time I ate was the morning we went to the reactor in Nibelheim. After that, I did not eat during the entire seven days I was in the Shinra manor basement. And of course I had nothing to eat since you threw me in the reactor". Sephiroth said this last part with a rather arrogant grin, making Cloud scowl at him.
They had finished their food and as soon as they stood up, the table cleared itself. "Well, at least we know that's how they did it" Cloud observed. He looked up at Sephiroth, who was eyeing Cloud's naked body closely. Cloud blushed but didn't move to cover himself, not wanting Sephiroth to see him act like he was afraid.
Sephiroth grinned, as if he liked what he saw. "You have quite a nice physique Cloud. I supposed you'd have to, to be able to best me in a fight." With that, Sephiroth turned and headed towards the tub, leaving Cloud feeling distinctly uncomfortable.
