Chapter 4 – In Which Classes Are Hell.
Waking up was never once of Cloud's favorite things, why get up when his dreams were so deliciously amazing? In his dreams Sephiroth carrying him into the bedroom ended much differently and he also didn't squeak at every damn thing. The exchange with Genesis ended rather differently as well, but he was planning to keep that one to himself. On the subjects of his squeaking though, the "powers that be" as Zack so lovingly called them, seemed to like the squeaks it was the squeals that it seemed they could do without, so Cloud supposed it wasn't all bad.
Though the loud blaring alarm on the other hand, not that was indeed bad! Cloud slowly cracked an eye open and glared at the offending device with no small amount of disdain; in fact he was sure the look he gave it would frighten small furry animals. 5am! Who the hell thought that was a decent time to be up in the morning? In that moment as he slammed his fist down onto the noisy machine he swore to kick whoever it was that thought up the cadet's time table in the balls, right in the balls!
Grumbling to himself he crawled out of bed slowly and stumbled over to the closet pulling out his new cadet uniform. Semi baggy blue pants and a button down blue shirt of the same shade with the Shin-Ra logo on the side of the sleeve were what it consisted of. Not the most flattering outfit in his opinion but he supposed they were sadly more for function then fashion, not that he was much of a fashion plate mind you, he just knew what he liked, and this wasn't even close. Silently, while still glaring at the clock from time to time he pulled on the outfit along with socks and the new combat boots which those at least Cloud found sexy as hell but at the moment equally as uncomfortable as they had yet to be broken in.
Finally he gathered up the few books that he needed for the first half of the day and stuffed them into the bag he'd brought for classes and headed out the door and down to breakfast. He didn't stay in the cafeteria long as he wanted to get to his first class on time and as he made his way there he silently thanked Zack for showing him around on Saturday before they had gone out shopping. He even managed to point a few of his classmates in the right direction which earned him more then a few pats of thanks on the shoulder.
Eventually arriving at his first class he flopped down into one of the seats by the window after catching sight of some SOLDIERs outside stretching. He scanned the group for a moment looking for Zack but then took note of the color of the uniforms and realized that they were a group of 3rd classes, but damn they were still good to look at! The class itself was a history class of sorts though it was all about Shin-Ra's "glorious" history and Cloud had nearly been bored to tears, in fact his teacher had even had to snap at him a few times to get him to pay attention again as his line of sight kept straying out the window. Finally the bell rang releasing him from the hell that was history class and he filed out into the hall with the others. He'd barely gone ten feet from the room when something plowed into him from behind quickly sending him crashing face first into the wall.
"Well if it isn't the pretty from the truck." A gruff voice said causing the hair on the back of Cloud's neck to stand up. "Haven't seen you since we arrived Pretty, where have you been hiding?" Marcus asked while taking a few steps closer to Cloud who was already trying to figure out how to get away, his large blue eyes darting around the hall looking for an opening.
"Do we have a problem here?" A smooth voice purred out from behind Marcus. The larger teen turned quickly while Cloud finally managed to get a good look over his shoulder to see none other then Genesis in all his red leather bound glory standing there with his arms crossed in front of him. Cloud opened and closed his mouth for a moment trying to produce any sound other then a squeak or a sigh of relief but when none came Marcus took that as an opening to speak.
"No Sir, none at all. Just catching up, Sir." Marcus lied smoothly while shooting Cloud a look over his shoulder that clearly promised pain if the blond didn't agree with him. So Cloud did the safest thing he could think of and that was to merely nod his head in agreement and divert his gaze to the floor. Cloud had known guys like Marcus back in Nibelheim and had learned that it was far safer to just go with the flow. At the answer though Genesis clicked his tongue and tilted his head to the side before holding up his hand.
"Actually you see there is a little problem with this Cadet, as Cadet Strife, you know the little blond whose way you're currently in is now going to be late for an appointment with the General." Genesis said with a glint in his eyes. "So shall I explain to him that you were responsible for the little hold up or are you going to run along… now." He added while leaning forward so that he was face to face with Marcus, a smirk twisting its way across his mouth as the large teen paled.
"Please no Sir! My apologies Sir! Excuse me Sir!" Marcus spouted out quickly before throwing up a quick salute, which Genesis made no attempt to return, and running away from the slightly insane red head.
"With me Cadet." Genesis said to Cloud who merely muttered a soft "Sir." before following after him. He led Cloud through the halls and across the walkway to the office building and as soon as they were in the elevator Genesis rounded on him, cupping his chin gently and causing Cloud to hit an octave that was enough to make Genesis wince for a moment. "Are you all right little 'Bo?" He purred out while tilting Cloud's head slightly to the side.
"M-my cheek is-is sore sir." Cloud stuttered out, he was rather unnerved being this close to the commander and all alone with no Zack to make him feel more at ease but despite this he couldn't help but take note of how even more amazing Genesis actually looked up close. He knew the man was sexy, but damn, just damn.
"So tightly wound up aren't you?" Genesis said his voice still carrying the lilting purr while he ran a finger along Cloud's jaw. The blond went wide eyed at the feeling and backed up so fast that his head lightly thudded against the back of the elevator. Genesis moved forward and Cloud continued to watch the red head like he was a snake that was going to attack which honestly amused Genesis to no end, though he did indeed have a snake that would like nothing more then to attack the blond, this wasn't the time nor place for that at least. Ripping off one of his gloves he sunk his hand into the soft blond spikes without warning causing Cloud to let out what sounded like a squeak and a moan rolled together, all in all Genesis found it to be rather appealing. He smirked slightly and rubbed along the blond's scalp before leaning in a bit to breath into Cloud's ear. "Seeing as we were so rudely interrupted the last time." He said in a breathy tone. Cloud merely let out a whimper as the commander continued his ministrations.
Genesis leaned in a bit closer more then ready to mark the teen in some way when the elevator dinged. Letting out a growl at the machine he took hold of Cloud's arm and led him down the hall. Cloud barely had time to look around but he could clearly see the name plaque on the door before it was thrown open. 'General Sephiroth.' Cloud gulped as he was drug into the office and once inside he didn't know whether to sigh in relief or pout as the general was notably missing. He never got to make up his mind as he was lifted off the ground, seriously what was Genesis's deal with that? and planted firmly on the desk. Cloud tried to make sense of things for a moment but was cut off mid thought once again as Genesis swooped in quickly nosing his way along Cloud's jaw gently while his hand returned to it's former position in the teen's hair. Cloud was overwhelmed to say the least, true he'd fooled around back home once or twice before he left but it was nothing like this!
The little blond felt like he was on fire! Genesis sure knew what he was doing with his hands and Cloud kept wondering when he was going to wake with a hard on from hell and smash his alarm clock. But no annoying buzzing came and the amazing sensations only got… well… for lack of a better word, more amazing! The feeling of something warm and wet at his ear had Cloud letting out a string of colorful noises and curses which caused Genesis pause for a moment before he whispered into Cloud's ear. "So responsive and yet so shy, tell me my little chocobo, are you a virgin?" He questioned. Cloud could feel the other man smirking against the skin on his neck and started to blush heavily before nodding his head slightly. Genesis pulled back a bit and smirked at him for a moment before stepping away completely. "Good to know." He said with a small chuckle. "Now wait right here and don't move from this spot." Cloud merely nodded his head afraid that all that would come out if he opened his mouth would either be a squeak, squeal, moan or any combination of the three. "Good boy." Genesis said simply before turning and leaving the office, closing the door behind himself.
Once he was gone Cloud slowly tried to wrap his mind around what had just happened as well as will away the raging hard on he was now sporting. He'd been letting his mind wonder over what had just happened so much that at first he hadn't noticed the sound of footsteps getting closer as soon as he did though he started to think of the worst things he could trying to will the erection away. He could only imagine the look of disgust on whoever happened to walk through the door. Tifa in a bikini… kinda… Marcus in a thong… ew. The footsteps were getting closer. President Shinra naked! Oop… that did it. Cloud had disturbed himself so badly with the last one he honestly wondered for a moment if he would ever be able to get it up again. His eyes widened a bit as the door slowly opened to reveal Sephiroth with a stack of papers in one hand and his other holding his PHS up to his ear. As soon as Sephiroth had spotted him the papers fell to the floor and he suddenly held the PHS away from his ear and in front of his mouth as he yelled. "GENESIS I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Cloud winced a bit at the screaming and a bit more as the door to the office was slammed shut.
Sephiroth turned and eyed the blond for a moment before thinking back to the call he'd just gotten that had led him back to his office in the first place.
"What do you want Genesis?" Sephiroth answered as Genesis's picture popped up on his PHS.
"No need to be bitchy."
"I just finished up a meeting that someone was supposed to be attending." Sephiroth bit out. He then glared at the PHS as he heard laughter coming from the other end.
"Aww don't be to mad at me sexy, I went out and got you something, brand new in fact never been used even!" Sephiroth merely gave a half hearted grunt into the annoying little device as he gathered his things. "It's in your office; I left it on your desk even." Genesis said and Sephiroth's eyes narrowed a bit at the tone of the red head's voice.
"I swear to got Genesis if you left another vibrator on my desk wrapped in a bow, I'll kill you." The General hissed out low enough only to be heard by the other. Again Genesis laughed.
"I swear no vibrator, but it does move an awful lot, makes some pretty interesting noises to." Sephiroth remained silent at this as he finally reached his office and opened his door to find Cloud sitting there on the desk blushing and obviously confused.
Sephiroth finally moved closer to the blond and that was when he noticed the light red mark on his cheek. Cloud suddenly felt very small again. Here he was, alone with the man he'd idolized and fantasized about for the past few years and he felt like he was about to burst into tears. Not sad tears though, but the kind of tears one cried when they found out that their parents had gotten them the skin tight pair of jeans that they'd been looking at for months! That was a great birthday for Cloud. A sudden hand on his shoulder had him squeaking loudly and blushing furiously as a deep chuckle followed.
Sephiroth then brought up his other hand and at first Cloud honestly couldn't figure out what he was trying to do at until Sephiroth gently tilted his head to the side. "What happened?" Sephiroth asked while lightly running a finger over the mark on Cloud's cheek. Cloud found he couldn't really help but meet the strong gaze head on, mostly due to the hand still against his cheek and he knew he had to be blushing if the heat he could feel in his face was anything to go by. He imagined he very much resembled a tomato at that moment.
"Ma-Marcus, Sir." Cloud mumbled out softly. At the look on Sephiroth's face Cloud knew, though he wasn't sure how, that he was being expected to elaborate on what had happened, so he did, at least up to the point where things got a bit interesting with Genesis. Sephiroth could clearly tell that Cloud was holding something from him but let it slide for now because he was now a bit more focused and just how perfectly the little blond's face rested in his hand and he also couldn't help but notice the intriguing scent coming from him as well. For a moment Sephiroth was planning on leaning in until his office door flew open causing Cloud to shriek and Sephiroth to wince and scowl at both the offending noise and the intruder.
"Spiky! You okay?" Zack shouted as he quickly charged into the office, managing to bump Sephiroth out of the way in his haste and gathered the small blond up in his arms. At being manhandled yet again that day Cloud let out an indignant squawk and flailed about a bit trying to break the other teen's hold.
"Zack! Put me down!" Cloud shrieked out, his voice reaching octaves that almost made Sephiroth and Zack want to cry. The blond continued to squirm around in Zack's grasp as the door opened and another voice joined the mix.
"Pup for the love of Shiva, put him down!" Angeal snapped out as he finally finished buttoning up the shirt he was wearing. Sephiroth looked at his usually very composed friend with a raised brow. "Well we were in the middle something when he got a call on his damn PHS and took off like Genesis just declared open season on his ass!" He grumbled while running a hand through his hair smoothing it back.
"I got a call from Kunsel, he said he saw Cloud get shoved by some guy and then Gen lead him away." Zack explained at this Cloud swung his leg back kicking his friend in the shin hard enough to surprise Zack enough to drop him. "The hell…?!" Zack exclaimed surprised by the strength behind the kick which earned him a glare from the tiny blond.
"You're keeping tabs on me?" He bit out. He was more then grateful for everything that they had all done for him but to find out that he was being watched on top of that? He knew that he was small and sure sometimes a strong wind could knock his skinny ass over but damn it all, it was the principal of the thing!
"Yes Cadet we are, for now at least." Sephiroth said speaking up and bailing Zack out as it was obvious that the younger SOLDIER wasn't quite sure what to say to appease his young friend. "It's merely a precaution at the moment, though I'm sure you don't blame Zack for being concerned." Sephiroth said looking down Cloud who looked back up at him with small blush coloring his cheeks. It was really quite an adorable shade on him. "Angeal bring Genesis in here and Zack why don't you take our little chocobo back to class." He said while absentmindedly running a hand over Cloud's hair. The blond's blush deepened as he caught himself leaning into the touch. Sephiroth merely gave a small smirk to the blond before a grinning Zack took hold of his friend's arm and led the blushing teen from the office.
It was as the two approached the elevator that they could clearly hear screaming from back down the hall. "ANGEAL PUT ME DOWN!!! AH YOU BITCHES!!" The two teens looked at each other and laughed a bit at poor Genesis before getting onto the lift.
Sephiroth was sitting behind his desk when Angeal drug Genesis in, looking for all intents and purposes like a sack of potatoes, a very large squirmy sack that swore a lot, but a sack nonetheless. Angeal finally set Genesis down on the ground and the red head glared at the two of them while crossing his arms in front of himself. "What did you do?" Sephiroth asked simply, his voice low and even. Genesis merely batted his eyes at him and shrugged his shoulders a bit.
"I don't know what you mean." He replied with a smirk creeping onto his face. At this Sephiroth was up and out of the chair with his hand carded through Genesis's hair yanking his head back so fast that even Angeal lost track of him for a moment.
"I'm not playing with you Genesis, what did you do?" he asked again though this time his tone was far more vicious and was accompanied by a low growl.
"Aww come on now sweets, you think I'd harm a hair on that pretty blond head?" At the nickname Genesis got a yank on his hair and another growl for his troubles. This merely made him realize that playtime was over… at least for the moment anyway until Sephiroth's non existent panties weren't in such a bunch. It wasn't until Sephiroth had gotten a little closer that he picked up on the same delicious scent he had smelled on Cloud. He quickly realized the scent for what it was it was the scent of Genesis and Cloud mixed together and it was just so tantalizing, not that he was about to tell Genesis that mind you, the man's ego was already big enough to choke an Ifrit.
"I pet his hair…" A swift yank on his own hair followed the statement. "Watch it!" He hissed. Complaining only earned him another yank. "All right already, I licked his damn ear!" At this the pull on his scalp lessened as Sephiroth removed his hand and Genesis could hear Angeal laughing lightly so he flicked his friend off before turning around to finally face Sephiroth. It was then that he noticed the look on the general's face. "You're turned on!" He said lowly with a smirk. "I'd recognize that look anywhere."
Angeal watched with little to no surprise as Sephiroth grabbed Genesis by the hair again and crashed their lips together. It honestly looked more like they were trying to eat each others faces but the small moan from Genesis said otherwise. Sephiroth broke the heated kiss for a moment and looked to Angeal. "Out now! Lock the door." He said quickly. Angeal simply smirked for a moment and did as asked. As soon as he was outside the office he could clearly hear the sound of someone getting thrown up against the wall. He'd no doubt that Genesis would be feeling this one in the morning.
Back inside the office Genesis tossed his head to the side as Sephiroth licked and bit his way down the smooth column of his throat. "He was so sweet, he even tasted sweet." Genesis gasped out as Sephiroth ground their hips together. If this was what thinking of the innocent little blond did to them he could only imagine what it would be like to get him into bed. Would they take turns or maybe make it a group thing? So many delightful thoughts but they were all chased out of his head as Sephiroth started to rip off his clothes. "I should send Blondie a fruit basket." He said with a wicked grin while making his way over to the couch.
"Mmm let me guess the fruit being you?" Sephiroth asked with an amused smirk as he climbed on top of the red head. Genesis didn't answer but the smirk on his face spoke loud and clear before he reached up and pulled the silver haired man in for more lip action.
In the other building Cloud continued to blush madly as Zack rattled off some rather interesting scenarios starring himself and Sephiroth and some even starring Genesis after Zack managed to pry out what else had gone down. "Oh! I got it! What about you Seph and Gen?" At this Cloud stopped mid step and looked at his friend like he'd just sprouted another head. Zack turned and noted the look before raising a brow. "What? It could happen! Gen wants to screw your brains out that much is damn sure and Seph I'm sure isn't to far behind." He said with a mad little grin thinking of all the good it could do.
Genesis would stop being such a slut… okay maybe that was a bit far fetched but he would hopefully at least calm down a little, Sephiroth would loosen up a bit more and Cloud would have more then enough protection. It was all really quite perfect in the puppy's mind. "Oi, what class are you suppose to be in right now?" Zack finally asked the blushing blond as they rounded a corner. "Battle Strategy." Cloud mumbled out as Zack continued to lead the way and went back to his ramblings. As nice as it sounded and as much as it seemed Zack might be right Cloud didn't want to get his hopes up.
As they approached the room Zack pushed the door open quickly and almost got an earful from the teacher until he realized who it was that was now in the room. "Sorry Teach, Cadet Strife had a meeting with the General, ran long." He said simply and even at the teacher's curious expression he made no attempt to offer more information so the teacher simply nodded his head and pointed towards an empty seat for Cloud to take. Zack then gave the little blond a wave goodbye before he disappeared back out of the room. Cloud sunk down into the seat and let out a small sigh before pulling out the class textbook and he half listened as the teacher started his lecture back up.
The rest of the class period was spent ignoring stares, whispers and questions from his classmates. It was easy enough to do but really made him feel more alone then he had since he got there. Had it really been only four days since he's arrived there? It was all moving so fast, not nearly as fast as Genesis but fast nonetheless. That was another thing, the little blond was quickly finding himself as equally attracted to Genesis as he was to Sephiroth and he found it confusing to no end.
"STRIFE!" A voice bellowed out from the front of the room pulling Cloud from his thoughts. He jumped slightly in his seat and turned a slightly guilty gaze towards his teacher. "Glad to see you're still with us Cadet." The teacher snipped out before returning to the lecture that he had been giving. Cloud went back to listening for all of five minutes before he zoned out again lost in his own thoughts.
Sadly the rest of the day went much like that long boring classes filled with him getting yelled at by his teachers for spacing out and his fellow classmates eyeing him up and coming to their own conclusions about why he had a meeting with the General of all people. He was called everything from Space Cadet to SOLDIER slut, not quite the impression he had wanted to make on guys he'd be spending the next few years with but at the moment there wasn't much he could do to change it so he ignored it as best he could. He stared at the clock willing for it to strike 4pm and when it did he damn near breathed a sigh of relief as he grabbed his stuff and hurried from the room. By the time he'd reached his own room he was beyond mentally drained; he hadn't quiet been expecting such long class periods that reminded him so much of the school that he'd left behind.
Slipping the key in the lock he pushed the door open slowly only to have his nose assaulted by the delicious scent of something coming from the kitchen area. He crept into the room slowly making his way towards it when he was suddenly scooped up into a familiar pair of strong arms for the second time that day. "ZACK! PUT ME DOWN!" He shrieked out. Zack having learned his lesson earlier in Sephiroth's office quickly set the fiery blond down and ruffled his spikes a bit.
"You look beat Spiky, long day?" Zack asked with an amused grin which earned him a glare from the younger teen. "I'll take that as a yes." The ebony haired SOLDIER said with a laugh. The blond scowled for a moment before he gave his friend a curious look.
"Please tell me you're not cooking again!" He exclaimed while paling slightly. "And how the hell did you get in here?" He asked as an afterthought. At this Zack rubbed at the back of his neck while another voice chimed in.
"I'm cooking and as for getting in, you'd be surprised by how many keys he had to have made when this was Zack's room." Angeal explained walking out of the little kitchen area while drying his hands before laying three more keys down on the little end table. Cloud's eyebrow twitched a little at this while glancing towards Zack for a moment before turning his attention back to the 1st Class.
"Actually I don't think it would surprise me at all Sir." He said flatly before letting out a squeak as he was suddenly tackled to the small couch by a playfully scowling Zack.
"Oi! You call him sir but not me! I'm you're superior to ya know!" Zack exclaimed with a laugh which caused the small blond below him to erupt into a fit of laughter of his own.
"See Seph I told you we should have gotten here sooner, now he'll have puppy slobber all over him." Genesis exclaimed as he made his way into the small room. Sephiroth merely gave a silent chuckle and shake of his head as Genesis then lifted Zack off Cloud as though he weighed nothing and tossed him towards Angeal. "Can't you keep this on a leash?" The red head asked with a bat of his long lashes. Cloud turned a brilliant shade of red as Genesis looked down at him with a look that bordered on hungry.
"Forgive me for asking sirs but what are you all doing here?" Cloud mumbled out while sitting up and looking down at the floor and shuffling his feet a bit making himself look even younger. A finger hooked under his chin and tilted his head up until he found himself looking Sephiroth in the eye.
"Always keep your head up when you speak." He said before trailing his finger along Cloud's jaw for a moment and then letting his arm fall back to his side. Cloud nodded mutely and raised a brow obviously still waiting for an answer.
"The pup still feels bad about that little food fiasco your first night here so he begged me to cook for you." Angeal said with a slight grin.
"I bet he begs real pretty to." Genesis chimed in with a raised brow followed by a quick lick of his lips. If it was possible Cloud turned even redder from the little display. "Careful Blondie, you might bust something." He added with a wink. Cloud brightened a bit more before quickly jumping up and running into the bedroom slamming the door behind himself which caused Genesis and Zack to snicker while Angeal and Sephiroth merely exchanged raised brows.
Cloud went wide eyed as the door slammed home and he couldn't help but wonder what the hell had possessed him to run out of the room like that. He took a few minutes to collect himself before he slowly opened the door back up. He crept back into the main room slowly looking for the entire world like a bashful Chocobo. "Come on 'Bo relax." Genesis said before moving over to where Cloud was and slipping an arm around his shoulders. Cloud lit up like a Christmas tree again sending Zack into peels of laughter and Angeal merely shook his head as he walked into the kitchen.
"Genesis." Sephiroth growled out in warning which simply earned him a cheeky grin from the red head.
"What? I could have just asked him if he wanted to ride my discostick you know." He said with another grin. At this Cloud's mouth dropped open and he went wide eyed for a moment before glaring at Zack who turned a brilliant shade of red.
"Zack… You! How did...? How could…?" Cloud stammered out becoming his usually wonderfully articulate self in front of the SOLDIERs.
"Relax little 'Bo, we're thinking of getting you a pole now." Genesis added with a wiggle of his eyebrows. Cloud's face went beet red before he hit the ground once again. "He really is fond of doing that isn't he?" The red head asked with an amused tone while picking the light teen up.
"I am so dead when he wakes up." Zack muttered out causing the other three to nod their heads.
"Indeed you are." Sephiroth said simply before taking the small blond from Genesis's grasp and carrying him into the bedroom once more.
When Cloud woke a few minutes later he sprang up with every intention of running out and killing Zack but before he could even make it to the door he was scooped up again but the arms were familiar and yet not. "Do try to avoid killing Zack; he does have his rather useful moments." A low voice rumbled out with a chuckle. Cloud went very still had he quickly realized who it was that was holding him before his little tantrum over Zack kicked back up making him not really care for a moment.
"I can't believe him." Cloud huffed out letting his body relax a little, making no effort to get away from Sephiroth. This pleased the young man to no end and caused him to smirk lightly as he leaned down so that his mouth was next to Cloud's ear.
"You know Cloud," He said purring out the teen's name in a way that went right to the blond's groin. "I do believe that this is the first time that you haven't squeaked in my presence." He murmured out before giving said blond's ear a quick lick causing the missing squeak to happen and Sephiroth to chuckle a bit. "Ah, there it is." He followed the statement up with another small lick causing a whimper from Cloud. "Mmm, Genesis was right, you are sweet." He said evenly but with an underlying husky tone to his voice which earned him another whimper which turned into a faint whine as he slowly pulled away from the blond and opened the door before stepping back out into the main room.
As soon as Sephiroth was out of the room Cloud flopped back onto the bed and buried his face into the pillows while muttering a soft curse to himself. He wasn't exactly sure what the hell was happening or what the two SOLDIERs were playing at but he could only assume that his one on one, hand to hand sessions were going to be a lot more interesting, or at least he couldn't help but hope that they would be.
Sort of a blah ending but it was the best spot to end this chapter. I still have a poll up on my author page about turning this into a Seph/Cloud/Gen fic for sure so be sure to cast your vote!
Rating will be going up next chapter, be afraid, be very afraid XD
Also thank you all for your amazing reviews I can only hope to continue to keep you entertained with my sick little mind.
