Summary: (CloudSeph) Lying beside the pool in the abandoned church, Cloud remembers that it would be Sephiroth's birthday, and wistfully wishes to see the great general again, but doesn't realise wishes can come true…

Hope you like it but I'm afraid I don't know everything so I'll need some help. If anyone could answer the following question it would be really helpful for me.

What is that weird red thing with the flaming tail and mane and what is it called?

What the hell is that weird cat thing with the crown and Scottish accent that rides it?

Why does Denzel wear a ring on some string around his neck? (Random)

Anyway, read a few fanfics, which really helped, and instantly fell in love with the CloudSeph pairing, so here's one of my own. Bear with me!

OOOOOO000000OOOOOO000000OOOOOO000000OOOOOO000000OOOOOO

Cloud sighed and shifted a little on the grass. Since Kadaj had attacked and destroyed all the flowers they had pulled up some of the boards surrounding the pool that Aerith (Aeris?) had created and planted some more flowers and grass around it. It was this area Cloud lay in now, sighing and shifting, trying to get comfortable. He didn't usually have this sort of problem.

He sighed again and got up, moving close to the newly rebuilt doors at the end of the old church. He and the people of Midgar (?) had to come to an agreement, since the children often wanted to come see him now and had invaded Clouds privacy several times. The system they had created was pretty simple. When the doors were open, Cloud was receptive to visitors, but closed doors meant he wanted to be alone.

Right now he wanted privacy, to try and figure out what kept bothering him so much. He moved back towards the water, pulling off various garments as he walked, eventually coming to a stop on the bank with only his pants remaining. He gazed into the depths, examining the sky blue eyes that gazed back at him. There was a still a faint Mako gleam around the pupils, and suddenly, for no apparent reason, a thought hit him.

It would have been Sephiroth's birthday today, if he were still alive. The ex-SOLDIER frowned at his own reflection. Where did that come from? He was sure he hadn't known that before, but now here he was, unable to settle down because of it.

He sat, still looking at his reflection, but not really seeing it. Instead, a vision of Sephiroth appeared in his minds eye and he heard that deep baritone once again.

"I've thought of a wonderful present for you."

The memory of that silken voice combined with that tall slender but muscled figure, long silver hair and those eyes, emerald with an edging of sapphire, the true Mako gleam with the slitted pupils, made him shiver. Sephiroth had been incredibly handsome, and Cloud wished again and again that he had gotten to know him before he had turned evil, when he was a recruit and Sephiroth a General in SOLDIER. He had admired the warrior even then. His reason for joining SOLDIER in the first place.

He stared at his reflection a little longer, just remembering his arch-nemesis, but not in the light one warrior usually regarded another, and then lay down next to the pool again, beginning to daydream about what might have been if Sephiroth hadn't become evil and tried to destroy everything.

After a while he fell asleep, sinking blissfully into the pleasant dreams that came with it.

A shadow fell over him, but the cause of it was careful to make sure that it didn't fall over his eyes and wake him.

Silver hair drifted in a gentle breeze and green/blue eyes gazed down upon the sleeping figure, a smile curving pale lips. A voice sounded gently into the old church.

"Are you sure you want to do this Seph? You may be in for a struggle, the people could refuse to accept you after all that you did…"

"I'm sure Aerith(?). I want to be with him. Even if he doesn't want me, I want to at least try."

"Ok then. Good luck Sephiroth. You make Cloud happy for us."

Sephiroth nodded. "I will try my hardest. Then maybe I can atone for all the things that I've done."

There was some light laughter and he felt the Ancients presence leave him. He removed Masamune from his belt and lay it down next to them, then sat and gazed at Cloud. He was as beautiful as the ex-General remembered, with light blond spikes, pale flawless skin, and a young lithe body that he longed to explore.

But more than anything, he wanted to see those indescribably beautiful eyes. He could say that they were blue, but that would not do them justice. They were ocean blue, sky blue, royal blue, they were just beautifully blue, and depthless. And he longed for them to see them filled with love and joy, and directed at him.

He watched Clouds peaceful slumber a little while longer, then gently shook his shoulder.

"Cloud? It's time to wake up little SOLDIER. Come on."

Cloud stirred and mumbled incoherently a little, making Sephiroth smirk at the sheer cuteness. Then he woke up.

Eyes blinked blearily for a second before turning to see who woke him. His eyes widened.

"Sephiroth!"

Sephiroth smiled, put a finger to his lips. "Shh, little Cloud, I do not intend harm. You can calm down."

Cloud just stared at him eyes wide, breathing fast, stock still. He couldn't believe it! Sephiroth, his hearts desire, right in front of him! It wasn't possible! Suddenly he noticed that the silver haired male was just staring at him, gazing deep into his eyes with those alluring green/blue Mako eyes. His breath caught.

Blue eyes were gazing directly into his, and Sephiroth found they were as amazing as he remembered, and staring at him with such intensity, he couldn't resist, leaning forward, pressing his lips to those of the shocked Clouds, praying desperately that he wouldn't be rejected.

Cloud was soaring along with his namesake, butterflies fluttering madly in his stomach, his entire body pulsing with the shock and pleasure of the unexpected kiss, all thoughts gone completely. After a few moments of sinking into that feeling, he roused himself enough to respond, pressing into the contact, deepening the kiss, his eyes closing leisurely.

A growl emerged from Sephiroth, making Cloud moan with pleasure as it vibrated on his lips, hastily followed by a hot, questing tongue. His hands slid into Sephiroth's hair, fingers entwining into the silky silver locks.

Sephiroth swung one leg over narrow hips, straddling Cloud's waist and pushing him to the ground with another growl, bringing forth another growl from the younger male.

They continued to kiss deeply, exploring each others mouths in turn, Sephiroth constantly dominating Cloud, until all at once the pleasurable sensations coursing through his body became too much and Cloud tilted his head back, breaking the kiss, gasping for air.

Denied of those oh-so sweet lips Sephiroth continued to kiss down the smooth expanse of Cloud's exposed throat and onto his collar bone, nipping and licking, enjoying himself immensely. Cloud moaned again.

"I…I…I never thought…anything like this…would ever…"

"Well it has, and will continue to do so, so I recommend that you shut up and enjoy it."

"But…but…you tried to destroy everything…you were evil. And dead. How come…"

"I have bee forgiven, and given a chance to do penitence. I wanted to be with you Cloud, and I will do anything you ask if I can just stay here, with you." As he spoke he lifted himself to make eye contact with the younger SOLDIER, his face deadly serious. "Tell me what to do to make amends for what I have done, Cloud, and I will do it."

Cloud considered for a few moments, then gave an uncharacteristic grin.

"Kiss me," he said simply.

Sephiroth blinked, the grinned himself and complied with the demand.

Ok folks, that's the first chapter, so there will be more. And if you could please answer my questions in a review (hint hint), I would really appreciate the help. Thanks for reading!
