I do not own Final Fantasy VII, I just enjoy writing about the characters.
This is a small back story to Our Love, just a small background on Angeal and Tseng's relationship that was hinted at earlier. Thanks to Unara Akoni for beta'ing this!
The bed shook violently as the brawny youth and lithe man thrashed in the throes of passion. Neither wanted nor needed to be gentle with the other. The younger man was a SOLDIER, expected to be strong and show no mercy. The older one was a Turk; he could not afford to show weakness. They were not quiet. The moans and exclamations left nothing to the imagination.
Wordless cries mingled together as they climaxed, nearly simultaneously, and achieved the release they both craved. Their bodies fell back to the mattress for the final time as they slowly came down from their rush of endorphins. Neither tried to move, simply basking together in the afterglow. There was a time that this wouldn't have happened, but they had come a long way from the impersonal intercourse they had once engaged in.
Angeal Hewley was a Second Class SOLDIER even though he had only been at Shin-Ra for six months. His missions had become more and more stressful every week. As his childhood friend became more and more exclusive with the young General, the other native Banoran had lost both his release and comfort.
He grew irritable and strict, snapping on anyone who dared to get in his way. Even Genesis was not safe from his wrath. Angeal hated feeling this way, knowing it was not honourable for a SOLDIER to lash out at others, but he couldn't help it either. It was a vicious cycle.
The breaking point had been on a solo mission. The only other person had been Tseng of the Turks who was flying the helicopter. Anything that could have gone wrong did, and Angeal was simply ready to return to his apartment to suffer alone so he wouldn't bother anyone else.
Tseng had made a comment that had rubbed him the wrong way and he simply snapped. He reached out and yanked the Turk's lips to his own and roughly kissed him. All of his pent up emotions were channeled into the move and Tseng reacted just as passionately. Rufus had been a little brat lately and the newest Turk, Reno, was still oblivious to his advances. Both men desperately needed this outlet.
It should have been a one-time fling, but they kept getting drawn to one another. It wasn't frequently, but they seemed to sense when the other needed someone to be comfort them. It morphed from a casual arrangement to legitimate affection. It was nothing more than friendship, but that was more than enough.
Like many things, their relationship ultimately ran its course. Zack Fair came bouncing into Angeal's life and eventually his bed. Reno finally joined Tseng and Rufus as well. The basis of their companionship stayed the same. They could always rely on each other for anything. Nothing would ever change that fact.
I hope you enjoyed this. This story also brought out some of the science nerd in me because the initials of Angeal and Tseng match the base pairs of DNA, adenine and thymine. This story came to me in my microbiology class as we talked about DNA. I am also doing a Genesis/Cloud story with the same basis since guanine and cytosine are the other base pairs. Sorry for the science rant but I had to mention it.
