The next morning was a rainy one and Vincent regretted his promise "Let's go" he said to his annoying demons, the whole morning they screamed ' kill, kill, kill, hurry or we even kill the blond or the lady'
"Stop it already … don't you dare to touch them … I will kill you" Vincent hissed, the demons could be as fierce as before.
'That's your end too' Chaos chuckled, he loved it to annoy the gunman
"It doesn't matter if I die too" he grumbled, he got a headache and wished he could strangle them.
Cid and Shera stood behind him as he had his little angry outburst; they looked shocked "What do you mean?" Shera asked worried and Cid only starred at him.
"It was only a little argument with…" he pointed with his index finger at his head and was terribly ashamed, god it was an awkward situation they really saw him talking with himself.
"You would kill yourself to shut them up?" Cid asked irritated and Vincent was sure Cid was angry at him.
"I have a migraine and sometimes they're getting on my nerves" Vincent said simply but he could see that he made a mistake, Cid cupped his face and looked deep into his eyes "Don't even think about it" he hissed and his grip hurt.
Cid was so close and Vincent could feel his breath on his skin "I do what I can" he said cold as he tried to hide his emotions, he wanted nothing more than to kiss the pilot.
"Do you want to follow her that bad?" Cid asked and his gaze burned through his eyes, Vincent remained silent he didn't know what to say, what had he done this time? "Why is everything I do wrong? Why do you invited me when I'm a bother?" he said simply, he hadn't the intension to ask Cid but as he opened his mouth the words slipped out.
Cid's eyes widened and Vincent parted from the touch and went away "Where do you go?" Shera yelled "You're not a bother we like your presence … Vincent"
"I promised Chaos that they could kill today" he answered and left, he ignored Cid's try to hold him back but he must admit he liked it when Cid calls his name , he's the only one who dares to give him a nick name "Vin … Vin wait"
"#%# Vin #%# leaves like that … #%#" Cid cursed after Vincent vanished.
Shera punched his shoulder and nagged "Tell him that you love him … like kids" she went away to run errands.
Vincent let them chase a horde monster with an ugly ragged fur and long fangs, they terrorized the farmer but for the demons they were scrubby victims.
`Are you ready?` Vincent asked bored he wanted to rule over his own body, especially because the sound of the breaking bones, and the smell of blood made him sick.
"You're impatient today" Galian said because it was his turn to hunt " … but yeah we are ready"
Vincent changed back into his human form "That's better" he sighed.
`Now you should say sorry to Cid` Chaos interrupted the silence Vincent wished for
"Why?" he asked surprised "I didn't do something wrong"
`How would you feel when Cid would say he wants to kill himself? `Galian interfered and Vincent knew they were right "It is really a reason to be angry but …. "
`What's that noise` Chaos didn't recognize the strange sound which clang through the canyon.
"It must be the new hooter, Rocket Town must be in danger" Vincent spurt over slippery rocks and through mud.
One time he slipped and crashed hard onto a rock, his arms were grazed and he had a deep cut on his hip from a sneaky little rat thing which pounced on him as he startled it.
Vincent took his tail and threw it away, he was happy that no one saw the unfortunate incident.
As he reached the town he could see three green haired mako boys, they laughed as one of them pointed his gun at someone on the ground.
Cid was at home as he heard the alarm signal and knew that they had a big problem.
He ran into the city, he was worried about the villagers and especially about Shera, she hadn't returned yet.
"What happened?" Cid asked breathless and looked around to analyze the situation "There are four young men, they stormed into the city and cause trouble … they said that they're looking for you" the mayor burbled scared.
"For me? Then let's see what they want ….. Get the people out of the #%# mess" Cid ordered and swung his spear.
Some people didn't arrive at home before this freaks appeared out of nowhere and he hoped that Shera found a safe place.
Cid approached them "I heard you're looking for me?" he grinned tense and was ready to attack the strange guys.
He attacked a guy with spiky green hair, he was as tall as Cid and fought with a Katana against him, but he wasn't that difficult to handle.
Cid knocked him out with an aimed kick against his head but before he could catch his breath the burly one started to attack him.
Cid got a hard punch into his stomach "#%# bastard" he gasped before he countered and prepared a new attack.
The guy was tall and fast "Hahahaa that's the great Highwind?" the third one laughed, he heard so many things about him and was disappointed that he lose that fast.
"Tch" Cid hissed and spit out some blood, the big guy burst his lip and Cid wasn't happy about it.
Cid jumped at the man and tackled him to the ground before he punched him into his face as revenge for his lip.
The laughter from the third one died and he pulled his gun "Don't move" he yelled "I have enough of the game"
"What do you want?" Cid asked serious, he hated it to lose "We want to eliminate the heroes of the world … you're standing in our way"
"Great plans, huh? … You #%# can't kill us all" Cid grinned at him and his behavior pissed his enemy of, he watched how his comrades got back to their feeds "3 against 1 again … maybe I should grant you mercy … and kill you fast" he laughed.
BANG
Cid shut his eyes and waited for the pain but nothing happened, he opened his eyes slowly and saw the loudmouth struggle.
"What the #%#" Cid cursed as he found the reason "Vin" the gunman shot the weapon out of the enemy's hand.
"Cid leave" Vincent hissed angry and pointed with his gun at the burly guy as he tried to take his knife "move and you will die" the gunman impended.
Cid was happy to see him "I #%# won't let you alone" Vincent sighed and kept an eye on the enemy "Do what you want"
Cid was afraid that Vincent will do something reckless when he doesn't keep an eye on him and he wanted to stay by his side to keep him safe.
The three knew they had no chance so they tried to get out of the situation, no one told them that the ex-Turk lived there too.
They gave their fourth man a little hand sign and blinked at Cid, Vincent knew there must be someone else.
He observed the terrain and the boy appeared on the right side, he didn't look older than a teenager and Vincent won't kill a kid but the boy was definitely dangerous.
"Cid" Vincent yelled and ran toward the blond, Cid looked shocked as he saw the kid aiming at him … "Valentine" a voice appeared and before Vincent could realize it the boy aimed at him.
The boss of the enemies liked it to play with his victims it was so much fun to see them run into his trap; he loved the look in their eyes when they noticed that they won't die as a hero but as a fool.
Cid stared with wide eyes at Vincent as the bullet hit the gunman's shoulder he didn't even made it half way to Cid.
Cid jumped up and stormed to his fallen comrade, in the mean time the four disappeared to make new plans.
"Vin … Vin #%# talk to me" Cid gasped, he took him into his arms and looked at Vincent's pale face "cough … help me up" the gunman said simply as he tried to make it easier for Cid.
"Oh … Ok" Cid helped him up and put an arm around his waist to support him, they didn't speak a word the whole way home.
"Oh my god" Shera ran into the bath to get towels and bandages "What happened?" she gasped as she entered the living room.
Cid brought Vincent into the living room and sat him down on the sofa near the fireplace "Vin?" he asked worried as Vincent closed his eyes.
"Don't worry … you know that my wounds heal fast … everything will be all right by tomorrow" Vincent sighed "but can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what can I do?" Cid asked worried, Shera gave him the towels and knew she must wait for an answer.
"The bullet is still inside … "Vincent looked at Cid and knew he understood him "Shera I need the forceps" he whispered, he didn't like the thought to rake in his wound.
Vincent patted Cid's shoulder, he enjoyed the touch and the pilots warmth "You were distracted because of me … and I forgot the fourth enemy" Cid stared into Vincent's eyes "Don't worry chief"
Cid gave him a light smile, he loved it when Vincent called him chief it made him feel calm and even anger faded when he heard him say `chief`
"I don't want to lose you" Vincent said calm and hoped that Cid won't flip out.
Cid stood up, he was over helmed with emotions and didn't know what to do but as he saw the fear in Vincent's eyes he bent over and pressed Vincent's head against his chest.
Vincent thought that Cid will shout at him or even hit him therefore he was surprised as he pressed his head against his warm and strong chest.
"I won't go" Cid stroke through the soft ebony hair "I will never let you be alone"
Vincent hugged Cid tight, he wanted to feel more of his warmth "I love you chief" he whispered barely audible but Cid caught his words.
Cid smiled at his words, it felt good to hear these words and it let all the worries fall.
"I love you too Vin" Cid said soft as he felt Vincent's body tense "I really do"
Shera stood at the door and watched them "I thought you won't manage it" she beamed "It was about time"
Vincent tried to escape Cid's hold with shock but Cid held him tight "What do you mean?" Cid asked embarrassed.
"Everyone knew there was more than friendship except for you" she grinned but turned serious again as she reached the forceps to Cid.
"That obvious?" Cid muttered "How embarrassing" he sighed before he shoved Vincent gently back.
Vincent's face was bright red even his ears gleamed "Oh sorry" Shera said cheerful "it doesn't matter to us the most important thing is happiness"
Vincent nodded and his head cooled slowly down "happiness" he whispered and gave them a soft smile.
"We should get the bullet out of you now" Cid said as he saw Vincent wince as he moved a bit.
Vincent nodded and Cid shoved his shirt gently aside before he began to remove the bullet, he tried to be careful but it was deeper as he thought.
Cid watched Vincent's face from time to time because he didn't move or showed any kind pain "I found it" he said relieved and saw him turn pale as he pulled out the bullet.
"It must have hurt" Cid made a grimace.
"It's ok" Vincent said simply, he tried to hide the pain and he knew the demons will heal him fast enough.
"Cid you should change your clothes you will get a cold" Vincent remembered that Cid can be sick and he wore still his rain drenched clothes.
"The #%# rain can't make me sick … but you should change your #%# clothes" he answered.
Shera shook her head and went into here room "like kids" she chuckled.
"Maybe you want to help me?" Vincent grinned and Cid never saw a smile as beautiful as Vincent's.
"#%# …yeah" Cid blurted out, his cheeks reddened as he realized what he said but Vincent only laughed at him.
The sound of Vincent's deep and honest laugh made his heart feel warm.
Vincent tried to stand up but failed, he staggered and almost fell if Cid hadn't caught him, he fell into Cid's strong arms.
Cid helped Vincent to sit down in front of the sofa so he could lean against it before he cupped his cheeks gently "I get dry clothes and then I will come back and we will stay in front of the fireplace until you feel better"
"You can go to bed" Vincent stared into Cid's sky blue eyes "#%# no … I will #%# stay with you"
The gunman smiled at him and gave in to the touch "Do what you want" he sighed and Cid took it as a `thank you`, he lightened the fire to keep Vincent warm before he went upstairs.
`Good boy` Chaos teased him `I thought you will run again`
"Ahh shut up" Vincent groaned "but I thought about it. The words slipped out before I could stop myself"
`I see … it's better when you not think` Galian laughed `I will remember you the next time you try to think`
"Hmpf" Vincent chuckled; he felt happiness in spite of the teasing demons instead of being angry.
"Hey" Cid said as he came back with clothes and a new towel "don't sleep"
"I'm awake" he sighed and opened his eyes "Chaos and the others are getting on my nerves" Vincent didn't know why he said it but he felt that he could share everything with the pilot.
"Can't you ignore them?" Cid asked and kneeled in front of the gunman, he started to remove the red cloak.
"Not really, my mental barrier isn't strong enough" Vincent sighed "but I got used to it… but sometimes…"
"It never looked like you have so many problems with them" Cid started to open Vincent's black shirt and stopped as he removed it.
He stared at his pale chest, there were scars … everywhere "What the #%# hell did he do to you?" he gasped.
Vincent felt embarrassed, he felt panic raise in his heart, what if Cid find him ugly? What if Cid will leave him? What if Cid won't look at him anymore with his shining blue eyes?
Cid caressed the scars and his hand stopped over Vincent's heart, it beat so fast.
"Don't be afraid I won't hurt you" Cid said in a soft tone "and I won't abandon you because of this"
Vincent felt the warm hand on his chest and felt how his fears disappeared, he felt calm and loved now.
"He experimented on me" Vincent whispered and touched Cid's hand which rested on the scar near his heart "and this is the reason I died"
"You aren't dead" Cid said with fear "You're here with me"
"I died with 27 … as I tried to protect Lucrecia and her child" Vincent looked deep into his eyes, he could see the fear and lack of understanding "Hojo shot me and I died … they brought me back to life because they needed me and I think Hojo wanted revenge because I touched what was his"
"….." Cid was speechless; he needed time to realize what Vincent told him "I never thought…"
"That it was like hell? That they used me as a lab rat?" Vincent continued for him.
Cid wrapped his arms around the gunman and clung on him as if he would disappear when he let go "I won't let you be alone and I won't let you be hurt" he whispered into his ear.
"Thank you" Vincent smiled, he knew he had found his release.
"Why did you tell me, all this?" Cid asked "I hadn't seriously asked … not today"
"I thought I should be honest to you" Vincent rested his head on Cid's shoulder "I don't want to lose you because of a lie … so many people lied to me, it's a misery"
Cid could understand his feelings, he knew how it was when people lie and he was honored that Vincent trusted him that much.
"I won't lie either, I promise" Cid vowed and kissed the side of Vincent's head "and now let's change clothes" he ordered, he wanted the gunman but he was hurt and it was the wrong moment for sexual activities.
Cid helped him to change and he couldn't get his eyes of the gunman, his thin but muscular body, the pale skin and the memories of his personal hell written all over his body.
Had he knew what Hojo really did to him he had killed him personally, how could someone hurt someone else in a way like this, how could people shatter the soul of a fellow men because of the fun or to push up the own ego.
Cid touched Vincent's cheek and looked at him with sad sky blue eyes "Please don't look at me like that … I don't want pity … especially not from you" Vincent said unusual gentle.
"I will never feel pity for you but I'm angry at the #%# Hojo #%# #%#" Cid sighed "I will protect you no matter what"
"I don't need your protection" Vincent said simply, he was used to the fact that nobody ever protected him, it was as if Cid could read his mind "It gives for everything a first time" Cid said and smiled at him.
Vincent nodded before he lent forward and pressed his lips against Cid's.
Cid opened his mouth to grant him the entrance; they deepened the kiss and let their tongues play with another.
Cid stroke with one hand through Vincent's soft hair and his other hand rested on his hip.
They only parted to breath "Vin … we shouldn't do that, you're hurt" Cid gasped, he still felt his lips burning and Vincent tasted so sweet.
"I'm all right" in Vincent's eyes mirrored lust and he pressed his knee against Cid's groin "and I think it's already too late" he grinned as he felt Cid's erection.
Cid griped Vincent shoulders and pushed him gently down, he put off the table lamp, the only light came from the fire place and Vincent's pale skin gleamed in the soft light.
Cid kissed Vincent scares and caressed his hip. His hands wandered down to his leg and back to his hip.
Vincent felt the heat of the moment and enjoyed Cid's gentle touches but he felt fear too.
Cid noticed that Vincent's body tensed and he hated the look in his beautiful red eyes "What's with ya?"
"Nothing" Vincent gasped and missed Cid's gentle touch, he wanted to sleep with Cid but on the other hand he remembered the time he was Hojo's toy.
"Didn't ya say you won't lie" Cid reminded him as he kneeled over his groin.
Vincent took a deep breath to clear his head "The last time I had sex is over thirty years ago ….. and the last times weren't voluntary"
Cid bent forward and rested his forearms on the soft carpet so they could talk face to face "What the #%# happened to you?" Cid asked angry, Vincent knew Cid wasn't angry at him but he was angry at Hojo but how should he explain it "He loved it to hit me and he tied me up … he didn't even bother if I'm prepared or not and sometime he cut deep into my flesh, with a whip only to see my blood running down on my chest and neck"
Cid could see the pain in his eyes and rested his forehead against Vincent's "We can stop I don't want to frighten you"
" … I want to … you know" Vincent whispered as the sky blue eyes were so close, he could feel his hot breath and the warmth of the pilots athletic body.
"I will be gentle" Cid grinned lovingly and placed a soft kiss on the gunman's lips.
Vincent put his arms around Cid and pressed him against his body, he loved the taste of him, the taste of tea mixed with cigarettes was unique.
They parted to breath and Cid started to bite his ear gently, he licked his neck and wandered down to his chest, he sucked and bit his nipples and one hand slid down to release Vincent's growing erection.
He listened to Vincent's moan and felt his heart jump, the deep voice turned him on "I will remove our clothes" he forewarned.
Cid pulled Vincent's trousers down before he threw his own shirt and pants away.
Vincent stared at Cids perfect body, he could see every muscle and adored his tanned skin, Cid wasn't tall or extremely muscular but he had the perfect build.
But a little respectively a big thing worried him Cids little friend was huge "You're huge" he gasped but Cid only gave him a dirty grin "Don't worry it will fit … and you aren't small either" he said before he took Vincent's leaking erection into his hot mouth.
Vincent jerked at the sensation of Cids mouth; he never experienced feelings like that before not even with Lucrecia "good" he panted and caressed Cid head.
Cid smirked; it looked like the gunman wasn't that uncomfortable anymore.
He continued to lick the side of Vincent's penis and tightened the pressure of his lips around the erection before he sucked him again.
As he noticed that Vincent was ready he released his erection and licked onetime over the leaking tip.
Cid spread Vincent's legs and tried to calm him down as he saw his eyes widen "Trust me" he smiled gently.
Vincent watched the pilot and wasn't sure if he want to trust him but deep in his heart he knew he was absolutely trustworthy, he could see it in Cids gentle eyes.
He nodded; Cid took Shera's hand lotion from the little table and was thankful that she always used the lotion without perfume.
The pilot put some lotion on his fingers and pressed the first finger inside his lovers sexy ass, Vincent winced but it was bearable "Try to relax … take a few deep breaths" Cid lay a hand on Vincent's belly, as he felt that the gunman calmed down he put the second finger in and then the third.
"Ok" Vincent wheezed, the pain faded and he felt the fingers move "AHH" he cried out as Cid hit his prostate, he felt how a wave of pleasure shot through his entire body.
"Want you" he said and Cid could see the lust for him in Vincent's eyes "I think it's enough" Cid said to himself before he pulled his fingers out and prepared himself with the lotion.
He placed himself between Vincent's legs and put his huge cock carefully into his lovers hot body "Mhmm … you're tight" Cid said with pleasure.
Vincent put his arms around Cid and pulled him nearer, he felt the memories and wanted to feel more of Cid, he wanted to feel everything … he wanted to feel loved and not used.
"Can I move?" Cid asked, he wasn't sure if he hurt him or if he was afraid but Vincent soothed his worries and he nodded with a smile on his face.
Cid pulled out and thrust into his lover, with steady movements he hit Vincent's prostate and made him moan in pleasure.
He lifted Vincent up and now he sat on the pilots lap "ahh" Cid moaned as Vincent moved his hips handier "Vin … I'm close …" the pilot panted and thrust harder into the gunman.
Vincent felt the hot flesh deep inside and the heat of Cid's skin as his penis rubbed against his belly.
Cid gripped Vincent's ass and kneaded it tight before he released his hot seed deep inside of his lover, the sensation of the hot seed drove Vincent over the edge and he spouted his semen over Cid's well build belly "AAHHH"
They hugged each other tight and waited for the sensation to fade "I love you" Vincent whispered into Cid's ear.
Cid stroke through Vincent's ebony hair and kissed his cheek, he wanted to show that he was important to him.
"We should rest" Cid remarked and pushed the gunman gently down, he used his own shirt to clean them before he lay down on the soft and plushy carpet near the fireplace.
Cid snuggled up to Vincent and reached for a blanket to cover them up "I love ya too" he placed a soft kiss on his neck before he closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of his partner.
