Sigh. He felt so off today. Kadaj was having a bad day, and that made Cloud have one too. Kadaj hadn't said anything yet, he was sulking. But that made Cloud feel like he'd done something wrong. He couldn't place it and so while his lover was outside, Cloud was busy inside.
Quietly, so as not to tip off Kadaj, Cloud crept back up to the bedroom. He moved a few things, fixing the bed again even if they hadn't done anything this morning, so unlike other mornings. Cloud fluffed Kadaj's pillow, then dashed to the window to look down at his silver haired kitten. "Still sitting there, I have time then." Cloud muttered, slipping to the bathroom and turning on the water after putting the stopper in. He stared out of the window as the warm water filled up the tub, watching the silver-haired man he'd grown to love. It made him smile, watching his lover like this, at least until he remembered how his lover was feeling today, and the smile faded.
When the tub was mostly full, Cloud cut off the water and ran downstairs. "Kadaj, will you come with me? I have a surprise for you."
Cat eyes glanced at him, then slowly, quietly, Kadaj unfolded his legs and stood, following his chocobo as the blonde led him upstairs. Blue green eyes noted the made up bed and Kadaj had time to wonder what was up before he was tugged into the bathroom.
Cloud offered a smile, no explanation, just a quick little grin that hinted at a few things but told Kadaj nothing about what to expect. Cloud stripped Kadaj, then stripped too and coaxed the other man into the tub and to sit down. Cloud sat behind him, soaping up a rag and starting to bathe Kadaj. "I don't know what's wrong, but I can try to fix it anyway." Cloud muttered, planting a soft kiss on Kadaj's neck.
Kadaj let out a sigh of relaxation, leaning back against Cloud's strong arms and helped Cloud bathe him. "Cloud-"
"Shhh. Don't talk, just enjoy yourself." Cloud chuckled softly. "It's time for you to smile."
