Morning Air, Nighttime Breeze

Cloud and Zack

Cloud was never a morning person to begin with. Zack was always the first one up, surprisingly. The young guard always thought that Zack would be the lazy kind, to sleep in until the afternoon and just lounge around all day. It would seem to fit his personality well. But after moving in with the soldier, Cloud was proved wrong.

"Hey Chocobo Head, wake up." Zack nuzzled his boyfriend's neck, trying to wake him up with a light passion. The response was anything but passionate as Cloud flipped onto his other side and pulled the blanket tighter around himself, moaning something angrily that Zack translated as 'let me sleep in, crazy ass.' Zack didn't give up and moved to playfully lick Cloud's ear. Cloud thrust his hand onto Zack's face and shoved him away. As much as he loved Zack, the soldier would have to wait until he woke up. Zack pouted, sticking out his bottom lip. Cloud wasn't going to wake up, no matter how many kisses or touches his boyfriend placed onto him. Zack stomped into the bathroom and grabbed a bucket, setting it down into the sink and filling it with cold water. Smirking, Zack walked over and stood over the sleeping cadet. He hoped that Cloud had gone to bed with something more than just his boxers on, he was going to need it. No regrets even floated past Zack's mind as he tipped over the cold water. He was impressed with how high Cloud's voice got so quickly.

"ZACK!" Cloud flew out of bed and onto the hard wood floor with a thud. Zack was again, impressed, this time by the speed of his reaction. It was almost as quick as a reflex. Zack wondered how much faster Cloud would be when he had his mako injection. Bile instantly filled his stomach and soured his mouth. Cloud's injection was in 2 weeks. What does that mean for me? "Damn bastard, help me up." Cloud stuck out his hand, waiting for his boyfriend to hoist him up. Zack mentally shook his head and reached out, pulling the smaller boy to his feet. He chuckled, noticing that Cloud, in fact, only had boxers on. It wasn't going to be his lucky day.

"What, you're to tired to get up yourself?" Zack laughed and dodged as Cloud took a swing at his head, running off into the kitchen. The thought of breakfast was about to consume Zack's mind. "Whatdaya want for breakfast, spiky?" Moaning, Cloud dragged himself into the small kitchen, slipping a hoodie over his mess of hair.

"Food." Zack snorted and watched as the younger boy lazily plopped himself down onto a chair at the table. Cloud sprawled himself over the table, stretching his arms out.

"Aren't you flexible today?" He said sarcastically. Cloud glared at him from behind his translucent blonde bangs. Zack smiled and stuck out his tongue, waiting for the bright blue eyes to soften and smile back at him. They did. Zack was Cloud's weakness, and he knew it. Especially his smile, he knew that Cloud melted for it. Zack walked over casually and placed a soft kiss onto Cloud's waiting lips. The chocobo head's lips were firmer and more persistent than he had expected, making Zack smirk. He gave Cloud's lips a quick swipe of his tongue before pulling back and smiling again. Cloud couldn't be mad at Zack when he smiled for very long, not even when he poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"Zack…did you steal this from Shin-Ra?" Cloud asked, staring at the large black motorbike parked in front of him. It hummed softly and vibrated against the gravel ground, an overly eager Zack Fair perched on top of it. He patted the seat behind him, signaling for his favorite blonde to sit his butt down next to him.

"Course not." His violet eyes flare with playful mischief. Hesitantly, Cloud came next to the bike, sitting on it wearily. Zack snorted, flipping him around and pulling Cloud closer by the loop of his belt. "C'mon chocobo, let's go out for a ride."

"I am not a chocobo." Cloud mumbled, blushing. Zack let out a laugh, kicking the stand up and revving the motor. Something dropped into Cloud's lap, startling him. "…What do I need goggles for?" Zack craned his neck around to smirk at his boyfriend.

"To protect your pretty eyes, of course." Cloud smiled and strapped them over his eyes, pressing the lenses firmer against his eyes. The dark haired man laughed. "You were made to wear those, spiky." The loud purring of the motor and the flying gravel that waked behind the moving machine as the bike lurched forward droned Zack's voice out. Cloud wrapped his arms around Zack's waist quickly, clinging tightly. The soldier let out a chuckle, "ya better hold on." The bike jerked a right, taking the two Shin-Ra boys onto a main road. Zack couldn't help but to surpress a smile. He loved the feeling of Cloud's strong arms wrapped around his waist. He only briefly felt this sensation when Cloud would give him a hug, and Zack knew he could easily get use to it.

"Where are we going?" Cloud shouted above the roar of the wind.

"I saw a spot near Wutai while on a mission. It was really nice, and I wanted to go back there with you sometime." Flustered, the guard leaned his head against Zack's muscular back. Wutai was close by, and the drive didn't last a moment too long. Zack kicked the stand down and shut the bike off, smiling in satisfaction at the great job he had done driving the bike. Cloud slung his legs over the side of the bike and peeled his goggles off.

"Zack," Cloud turned toward his boyfriend, a nervous look on his face, "What's going to happen to me after the mako injection?" Zack's uneasy feeling aroused in his stomach again. Now he's worrying about it? A tan arm was wrapped around Cloud's shoulder, pulling him into a hug.

"I don't want you to worry about it, Cloud."

"But Zack-mpf!" Warm lips silenced Cloud and made him lose his train of thought. He leaned into the kiss, just as Zack hoped he would. He didn't want Cloud to have to go through the things he did. Cloud was too precious to him, he didn't want to see him change. Zack broke away and buried his head into Cloud's shoulder. He wanted for those eyes to stay the same, the beautiful bright blue color that blended in with the morning sky. Why had Cloud chosen the same path that he did? Sure, without him joining Shin-Ra, they would never have met, but Zack wanted anything but for Cloud to have to indure pain. The SOLDIER let his arms fall to his side, but left his head on Cloud's shoulder. Cloud brought his boyfriend's face up with a gentle finger and kissed his cheek. "Zack, I know what I'm going to change a bit physically, but I'm still going to be the same person. I'm still going to love you."

"But what if you decide that you're too strong and fit to hang out with me any more, eh spiky?" Zack said, smirking and feeling better at Cloud's sweet comment. Cloud chuckled and leaned his head against Zack's, soft blonde spikes tangling with dark brunette ones.

"I wouldn't get the injection if it was to change the way I thought about you."
