I snagged a line from one of F.S. Fitzgerald's works. Can't remember the name, though.
Title: Love Me Absolutely
Rating: K+
Pairing:
Zack/Cloud
Summary: Zack lavishes attention on others in the hope
that they'll return the favor, particularly from one cadet.
"Now kiss me for being so quick," Zack Fair stated, leaning to try and steal a kiss from his friend.
Cloud turned away, though. "What do you think you're doing?" he questioned.
Zack wasn't perturbed by the dismissal. "But I got your book quickly! Don't I deserve a reward for that?" The soldier gave a pleading look to Cloud who was now flipping through the pages of the required text.
Nose in book, Cloud, albeit distracted, still was able to come up with a smart remark. "You fetched my book, like a puppy, and want a treat? Kisses are for humans," he joked, "but I'll scratch you behind the ears."
Damn, you get compared to being like a puppy just once and the whole incident comes around to bite you in the ass. However, Zack knew he could work this to his advantage. Pulling Cloud to him, Zack trapped him in his arms. "Now, don't forget: puppies bite, too," Zack said, his voice becoming uncharacteristically low, and playfully nipped at the shell of Cloud's ear.
Cloud smacked Zack with the book. "Don't make me get you neutered," he grumbled before stalking off to find someplace quiet to finish his text.
