Chapter 3
The conversation with Riku as the two made their way back to the house had been most interesting, and disturbing. The petit brunet nick-named 'babe' --he had come to learn-- was his brother's lover. This being the reasoning behind his frequent disappearances over the past few weeks. He had explained enthusiastically his adoration for the young boy, and how much fun he'd had with him - clearly not going into any grim details. Sephiroth had not seen his brother this jovial for quite a while, and was pleased to find his brother in such a mood. Times like these made him wish that same gender relationships were accepted more freely in society. But alas, his wish never seemed to be heard by any heavenly order.
Riku then insisted on hearing his thoughts on the blonde one, and the exact details on how he had happened upon him. With reluctance he explained how he had been on his walk, when he came across the young man, whom fainted after asking on Riku's whereabouts. The young sibling laughed at the story, but continued to pester him on his feelings for the farm boy. Cloud --such a fitting name for one so attractive-- he admitted, had caught his eye, and he would much like to see him again. In fact, he remembered his promise to return the following day to check up on his status. Perhaps even a little flirtation would take place. To this Riku commented that this 'flirtation' would be inevitable, as Sephiroth had a reputation for his wooing skills. The young lord could never resist a pretty face,
Supper had been as always a morbid affair, their father occasionally spitting out random information on his investments on several businesses around the country. Neither of them cared nor listened, merely ate away at their meal until they were allowed to excuse themselves from the table. Before they left, they were informed of Lady Aeris and Lady Kairi's upcoming arrival, due for a dinner date in a couple of weeks time. The two brothers were far from oblivious to Ansem's intentions: he wished for them to hitch up with the two girls who were related, being each others cousins. However hard their old man tried, they refused to strike up any form of relationship, other than close friendship.
As hard as he tried Sephiroth could not find the mental power to focus on his book that night, his thoughts ever wandering back to the gorgeous blonde he'd met earlier. Those spectacular wide eyes, precious as sapphires and just as beautiful. Wonderfully slender but muscular form, perspired from working diligently under the harsh sun. Pouty mouth, pale and slick lips that he desired to ravish…but didn't, being a gentleman after all. There was still time however, once the two became a little bit more acquainted with one another. Although his view on what was being 'acquainted' were somewhat skewed compared to others, not that he cared. As long as he got what he desired, he would be a merry man. For now a few rushed hand strokes would have to suffice…what? Being a gentleman only included public decorum. What happened under his sheets was a completely separate matter. Nothing could be described as 'gentle' about it anyway.

On the opposite side of the estate the stable workers had settled down for dinner after a good hour or so of roasting the meat. Cloud had finally woken up, dazed and unsure of his surroundings. It was amazing he'd taken so long to wake up in the first place. Zack had joked to the other two that the blonde had used it as a bad excuse to slack off from work again. This of course had coaxed out a couple of laughs from the youngest boys, knowing that Cloud wouldn't hear the end of it for weeks. And that was only if he was fortunate enough for Zack to forget the incident - fat chance of that happening.
Shaking his head vigorously like a puppy out of water the young man then gave a sigh and a languid yawn that could have stretched the span of his out-stretched arms. After completing his strange waking up ritual he looked around bleary eyed at the group, before setting his sights on the food a couple of feet away from him.
Shuffling into the circle he grabbed some food and gratefully gnawed slowly at it, "Mmm, what happened to me? It's dark out already?"
Tidus and Sora snickered behind their food, the former nearly choking on a piece he had been chewing on. As always the raven haired man was all too pleased to inform his friend, "You decided to take a nap in Seph's arms this afternoon. Lazy as always." He sighed, but the humour was still clearly in his voice.
Freezing with his mouth parted over his food, his eyes first then his whole head followed to stare disbelievingly at Zack, "What? You mean Sephiroth? Y-you're lying, stop being such an ass Zack…" Noticing the stares he was getting from the others he asked them, "He is lying, right?"
The blue eyed boys looked at one another as if to decide who should break it to him. But that was enough of an answer for Cloud, as he dropped his food and covered his face with his hands. Several golden strands spiked out from between his fingers, even as he gripped his hair slightly.
"No, no, no, no! Oh god, I-I must have looked such a fool."
"Naw, I'm sure good ole Seph found the whole fainting damsel thing quite erotic." Zack snickered into his meat.
"Zack!" his finger pointed between Tidus and Sora, "You shouldn't say stuff like that in front of children."
"Oh come on!" Sora moaned, throwing his arms up into the air.
"You forget Cloud that they're not children, they're just still young is all…That and Sora is turning into a slut if I ever saw one." The raven haired one slipped the last comment in, because he felt the brunet was deserving of some teasing. He had been off messing about with Riku with weeks, giving everyone else extra chores to do. Thus the boy was getting his just desserts.
"Hey! I am not a slut! You're just jealous that I'm having sex and you're not." Sora stuck out his tongue in a raspberry.
"I think he just pities the poor sod that has the job of screwing you." The young blonde remarked.
"Tidus! You're meant to be on my side!" Came the cry of betrayal.
"I still would be, if you'd use that ass for working instead of fu--"
"Enough of that!" Cloud exclaimed, slamming his fists on the dirt, since they didn't have a dining table to do it on, "I don't need any mental images of Sora with that Riku guy when I'm trying to eat."
"Yeah, he's got enough mental images of him and Seph to think about." The eldest remarked with a smirk on his lips.
All was silent but the chipper of chocobos in the hut. Cloud's glare had rendered everyone silent, and also still as if they were in rigor mortis. He sighed angrily, his intense cobalt eyes staring down each of them one by one. Finally his gaze landed on Zack and with a final squint of the eyes he spoke with joking vehemence, "I hate you guys."
Landing a chunky arm over his shoulder Zack tugged him into an awkward hug, "And we love you Cloud."
"Let go of me." he squirmed as he tried to squeeze his head out from Zack's arm.
"Oh and before I forget, Seph is gonna come back to check up on ya tomorrow. Ain't he nice?" the ebony haired one cooed as he gave a final squeeze around Cloud's neck before letting him go free.
Eyes like saucers and hand rubbing his neck he wheezed, "Sephiroth is coming here?"
IIIIIIIIIIHEARTZACKIIIIIIIIII
Yeah, I know, disgustingly short chapter right? I'm sorry, I've been an ill bunny for the past few months, and now that I'm back I'm having trouble finding the time/inspiration to write. To tell you the truth, I've had this written for ages but I'd wanted to add at least one more paragraph. But then I read through it and thought, 'what the hell, that's a good enough place to end'. I'm going to try (again) to write more of this, because I've had tremendous support. Of course, I want to write it for my own enjoyment too. So there, fingers crossed we'll have a reunion (sniggers, just realising the FF7 link) between the guys. Also sorry if people think the conversation between Zack and co was too casual for the setting, I really wanna outline the difference between the classes, know what I mean? That and I wanted people to connect with them, you know how if you have a bunch of friends (or one, similar to myself) and you chat away cheekily to each other. Ah I miss times like that. Makes me feel bad for what I'm gonna do to them in the future…heheh, I know all! Peace and love folks (or destruction and lust, depending on preference).
