One Sided Love
By: ChocoPopTart
Chapter 1: Feelings for You?
"Zack, Zack, ZACK!" Cloud woke up from his dream-induced nightmare, startled by what he had seen. He put a hand to his forehead. He felt a thin sheet of sweat, and his breathing was erratic. "Another dream about him" He thought. Cloud and Zack have been close friends for a year now, ever since 8th grade. Let's just say, their first meeting wasn't exactly normal or common.
Cloud was just getting things out of his bottom locker he so inconveniently had. "I seriously marked my name under that top locker! Why did I get stuck with this crappy one?" Cloud thought to himself. During his thoughts, however, he was oblivious to the person behind him, who apparently, was the owner of the locker above him. "Ah, I'm almost done putting… WHAT THE FUCK?" Cloud shouted in his head. (Lucky for him since teachers were around) The guy that had been behind him, started humping him! That dude was practically having sex with his back!
"Nice to see you, Cloud!" Cloud turned around and he saw Zack, he immediately thought to last year, when Zack had joined his English class 2nd semester. "Hi Zack, now care to tell me why you did that? That's just gross Zack, that's just gross" Cloud said as he walked away with his friend, Kyle. As he was walking away, he could hear Zack laughing in the distance and clutching his sides in pain. Cloud walked back to his class, which unfortunately, included Zack. He sat back down thinking to himself "That gross little asswipe"
I remember that day very vividly, it was gross, but secretly, after a few times of Zack doing that to me at least 2 times a week, I got used to it, it became a part of the week, and a part of life, plus, I kinda, secretly liked it. I know its wrong to like another guy, but I can't help it, its just this feeling I got. I never really got to talked to him or knew him until that Cheerios battle we had that one week.
Madison and Hannah would always come to Zack's locker everyday, either to eat food in our faces, or to throw candy or cereal at our faces, or just to talk. Mostly the first and second, but it started off as first then went to the second. They started bringing Cheerios just to throw them at us. Me and Zack were both friends with Madison and Hannah, so we teamed up against them and we had an all out Cheerios war at break for 2 days. They ended up winning because they were too pussy to have more battles.
After that, Cloud and Zack started to become friends and sometimes, he would see Cloud walking alone to class and they would walk there together. It was this time that he felt extremely happy, and he knew then and there, that he was in love. Cloud thought he felt the same way, but he never told him, he kept it to himself and he only told friends that he knew he could trust. But having done that could have been a very big mistake.
People started saying things about Cloud and Zack; someone would say their just friends, while some thought they were dating and looked cute together. The rumors got a bit out of hand though, but not to many people believed it. There are still people that think Cloud and Zack can't live without each other, but to Cloud's closest friends that he told his secret to, they know that it's one sided love. Eventually, some of Zack's friend's friends found out and they started to tease Cloud about it too. People who thought that there was a Zack and Cloud thing going on only teased Cloud for some reason. And when people explained it, some of them, well most of them, made Cloud sound like the uke and Zack the seme. Not that Cloud would mind being Zack's uke, in fact, he would love it, A LOT.
Cloud thought about that nightmare he had again. He remembered seeing in his dream a monster that was threatening to take Zack away into his cave and eat him. Cloud was trying his best to defeat that monster, but all he did was left in vain, because the monster got away with Zack after he got knocked down after 20 minutes of fighting that monster. The last thing he saw in his dream before he woke up was Zack dead in the monster's cave, hung up on one of the stalactites.
Cloud looked at his phone, it was 10:00am, and he had to get ready for swim. All he could think about during swim, was the beach day he would have right after. The best part is, is that Aerith invited Zack. He knew that Aerith and Tifa just invited Zack so they could tease Cloud a little more about Zack. They still didn't know about Cloud's little crush on Zack, but they knew about the things people would tease him about so, that's what they did to Cloud, endlessly tease him about Zack at anytime possible. Eventually, Zack's best friend, Kunsel, got into the teasing too, and much to Cloud's dismay, Kunsel participated in the teasing whenever Aerith or Tifa would.
Cloud talked endlessly on his phone after, so that he, Tifa, and his mother Rachel could plan on what time Cloud will go to the beach with Tifa, Aerith, Kunsel, and Zack. Rachel was always paranoid, so she kept calling Cloud back and forth to ask more questions about "Are there going to be any adults?" or "How many people are going to be with you?" and a whole lot of others. Eventually, Rachel gave it some thought and she finally let Cloud go, but, on one condition, he couldn't get in the water, he had to stay out of the ocean, because she was paranoid Cloud would either drown or get lost in the waves and become lost at sea. Cloud minded, but he didn't really care as much, because his mom actually let him! He called Tifa to say he can go around 1 and that they would meet at the pier.
At around 1, Cloud's dad, Cid, drove Cloud to the beach. Cloud got off the car, and walked to the pier. He filled himself with the smell of the ocean and beach. He knew this was going to be a good day.
A/N: I hope this wasn't too short! Please review! I really want to know how I did, because this is my very first fanfic. Please don't hold back with the reviews, I really want to know how I can improve as a writer. Thanks for reading!
