"You're ticklish," Cloud accused with a faint grin, his eyes glowing with amusement in the early morning light. There was a lot he still had to learn about Leon as they had only recently gotten together, but discovering this little weakness was a definite surprise.

Leon let out a small grunt of defiance, but he contradicted himself almost immediately with another open-mouthed shiver when Cloud bent to kiss that same spot on his neck, and his hand settled on Cloud's nape in a silent request that he not stop.

"Gonna have to remember that," Cloud murmured against the rising heat of his skin, bracing his hand on the sheets on Leon's other side. He licked a lazy path up the thick tendon in his neck and began sucking on it softly, deliberately keeping to the slow, sweet pressure of his tongue and lips against the clean, smooth skin.

His sensual ministrations eventually roused a shuddering moan from his sleepy sparring partner turned lover, and when a calloused hand lifted to his hip and squeezed lightly, he shifted to settle one of his thighs between Leon's, giving his hips a gentle roll to feel their bodies stirring to life between them.

Not wanting to miss any other potential erogenous zones while Leon was still relaxed enough to allow this lazy exploration, Cloud slowly kissed and licked his way over to the other side of his throat, making little mental notes as he went and cataloguing just what kinds of touches elicited what kinds of subtle reactions from the taciturn man beneath him. A leisurely trail of just the tips of his fingers down Leon's ribs caused him to writhe just slightly and hold his breath—another ticklish spot filed away for future exploitation. The slide of a thumb down along the hollow of his hip made him turn his head and part his lips in anticipation of what could come if Cloud would only go just that little bit further. Sliding his hand back up to catch a nipple between his thumb and index finger earned him a small sigh, and closing his mouth over that same sensitive nub tore a short, raw gasp from his throat.

Now completely awake and having had enough of the deliberate torture, Leon pushed himself up on his elbows and brought Cloud's teasing lips up to his own with a hand curled under his jaw, sliding his hot tongue deep into his mouth. He kissed him slowly, sensually, and so thoroughly that Cloud was completely caught off guard when he abruptly rolled them over and pinned his hands above his head, hips coming to rest between his spread thighs.

"Enough," he muttered huskily in Cloud's ear, curling his tongue around the back of his earring and skimming one hand down his side in a feather-light touch, raising little goose bumps on his flesh in its wake.

Cloud smirked, arching his back and flexing his wrists against Leon's iron grip out of principle. Leon wouldn't find him to be nearly as ticklish, but he wasn't about to give that away and miss out on the feel of those warm, curious lips and steady hands roaming over his body in reciprocation. Leon's touch was something he was quickly becoming addicted to, and judging by the increasingly ardent open-mouthed kisses Leon was spreading over his neck and shoulders, he wasn't the only one falling under intimacy's irrefutable spell.
