Chapter 4 Blooming Love
When I realized that the blond before me was still hard, I couldn't help but release a low, bone chilling growl. Cloud must have been watching me because he blushed deeply and turned his gaze to the window.
"I...I'll take care of my problem in the bathroom." he announced, moving to get up.
Instinctively I jumped on the sword master. I didn't know why I did it, all I knew was that it was a sudden urge to stop him from leaving. Maybe I was scared of loosing him after I just confessed to him. Surely this was wrong, but I'm an infused human with the most dangerous demon inside me. To me, this felt natural. I didn't want to loose Cloud, not after telling him my long lasted feelings I locked up.
Cloud yelped when I jumped on him as I held onto him tightly like a python. He flinched slightly, but didn't make a move to protest or push me away. He bit his lower lip and stared up at me.
"Wh-what are you doing?" his voice stammered, cheeks still blushing.
"Forgive me. Possessiveness and fear of loosing someone you love is natural to me. It's a trait I inherited from Chaos." I explained, loosening my grip.
"Then let me...let me be submissive to you Vincent."
"Not when you're doing this out of pity." I snarled.
"I want to!" the blond nearly shrieked.
"You don't love me." I stated.
"I...not at the moment. You know that I haven't opened my heart to anyone since...she died. I can learn to love you...I know I can." Cloud's blue eyes stared intensely into mine as they formed tears.
"How can you be so sure? I'm a monster Cloud. I have a demon residing within me, he almost raped you. Even if you're out of his danger, I'm also the possibility to be the cause of your death." I growled into his ear.
"Don't say monster! You're not a monster, you were never a monster to me. Not even the first day we met, I thought of you as someone who can understand me for once..."
Now the blond was crying. The tears he tried to hold back, were streaming down his cheeks like no tomorrow.
"Cloud..."
"As for Chaos, I don't care as long as you're by my side helping me. I never told you this, but you had this aura around you that made me feel calm. You eased my nightmares without your knowing, that's why I was always grateful when you were nearby or visiting." he smiled weakly.
"But I don't want to see you hurt from my cause." I whispered, my grip loosened some more until I actually let him go. I still lay on top of him, just not holding onto him.
"I don't care. You heal me, and stay with me, I'll be fine. I just said that you made me feel calm in the past...you still do. I don't know why, but just being with you eases my mind." he nuzzled me, daringly to be so close to my sensitive neck.
Resisting the urge to bite him, I shuddered and stared at him when he pulled away.
"By nightmares...you mean Sephiroth." I said once I found my voice.
Cloud nodded. "You make me forget all about him...more so than the children ever could. Sure, they made me happy, but they're not children anymore."
I was clearly surprised. I never knew that I made Cloud feel safe, content, and at ease. That may explain the way he looked when he was asleep the first night here.
"Are you positively sure that you wish to be with me? You know by now how dangerous I am, and sometimes unpredictable." my serious tone was deep and almost like a growl as I stared directly into his eyes.
"Yes. I know, but I think I can handle it if it helps you calm down." he said, smiling.
I smirked at him, giving him one of my plotting smirks. Before he could figure out what I was plotting, I let my human hand travel down and grip his hard organ tightly through the fabric. Cloud gasped and arched his back, his breathing became irregular from my touch.
"V-Vincent...ah..."
Instantly I knew what he wanted. But I won't take him just yet. I want to spend time with him first before going to the next step. I chuckled against his ear.
"Sorry, but I can't give you that until later in this relationship. But I can provide some satisfaction..."
To prove my point I tightened my grip around his hard on and jerked. Afterwards I leaned forward to bite on his neck, sucking and biting a sensitive spot to create a love bite. A mark that Cloud Strife is mine and only mine. Cloud writhed underneath me, gasping and moaning softly while jerking his hips to create more friction for his desire.
'~Ooh la-la~' Chaos groaned.
'Just shut up.' I warned him.
'Be warned, weakling, I will get my share with him. You know as well as I do that he did enjoy that lil "accident" with me.' my inner demon chuckled.
Luckily I tuned out what he said, or I would have punctured a wound deep enough to make Cloud bleed to death. Instead I concentrated to make him release, now that my hand is actually holding him and his clothes scattered on the floor. Cloud moaned and arched his back more, writhing as he came close.
Noticing this, I growl in a some-what loving way into his ear. He gasped and came while I smirked when his eyes snapped open in reaction to my growl.
"Ah...V-Vincent...nnnh...um..."
"No need to say it. I can clearly see that you enjoy my growls during such...activities." I chuckled and laughed as he blushed.
"Get some rest. We're leaving tomorrow." I said, holding him close to me.
Cloud yawned and snuggled closer and fell asleep.
The next morning I lazily woke up. My mind felt fuzzy, as if I had been drugged to get a good night's sleep. Strange, I thought. The only times I woke up feeling all warm and fuzzy was when I was happy. Why would I be happy? Then the events of last night came rushing at me. Glancing around my eyes gazed at the contently sleeping blonde next to me. The scent of his release was still in the air, and I sighed.
Somehow I felt relieved. That last night wasn't a dream, and it wasn't my imagination. Sighing once again, I leaned forward and nuzzled his neck affectionately. Cloud shifted in his sleep, but remained unaware of what was happening. I smirked when I glanced at my handy work. That mark I made will forever be left as a scar for all others to see. So they won't take what's mine. If they try they'll face the pain of my claw and Ceberus.
'Don't get too cocky, you weren't the only one who left a mark on him.' Chaos warned, his voice sounded hoarse and tired as if he just woke up.
'What are you talking about?'
'Try checking the left side of his neck.' Chaos chuckled, all act of drowsiness gone.
Just to be sure I gently shifted laying my chest on the smaller man's. My right hand moved Cloud's head with care as to not awaken him, and peeked at this side of his neck. I growled lightly, trying to control my urges when I saw that there was indeed, another mark. But this one was different from mine. The punctures are redder, deeper, and there were four puncture wounds. While mine had only two.
I heard Chaos chuckle louder, grinning like the demon he was. Of course, there are many differences between me and him. But one of the major differences was the fangs. I have two on the top jaw. While Chaos has four, two on the top, and two on the bottom. I can make mine disappear or reappear at will while he can't. Softly I moved back, letting go of Cloud's chin.
'You planned all of this. You knew that I wanted him, and somehow you knew that Cloud felt the same. Now he's yours and mine.' I growled at my inner demon.
'Blame it all on me eh? But let's face it, you're happy now. And so is he. I didn't plan this for my own pleasure Vinnie.' Chaos told me in a serious tone.
'Why help me?' I blinked.
'Because you would have committed suicide.' he said bluntly.
'No...' I flinched.
'Don't play dumb with me! I knew you wanted to die, I knew that you wanted to try it the night Cloud called you, asking for help.'
I knew he was right.
'That doesn't explain why you want to help me...'
'...Forget it. I said too much.'
I tried to call out to him, but he disappeared to his end of our mind. The one part where I can never enter if I ever wanted to see the light of day again. Biting my lower lip, I gazed at the ceiling above me. Why would Chaos care so much? The demon never showed any concern to me for years. The only time he did, was to save me from the other two demons residing within me. And so together Chaos and I eleminated the other two, and it became just us in this body.
Before long I felt Cloud shift next to me, snuggling closer. Smiling softly, I kissed his forehead. Cloud hummed and his eyes fluttered open, revealing his captivating blue eyes.
"Morning."
"Morn'n." the blond yawned, nuzzling close to my chest.
"Still feel up to search for the rose?" I teased him, pecking his cheek.
"Yea...just give me a few to wake up." Cloud lazily smiled.
"I should warn you...I marked you, so you're mine. But I wasn't the only who marked you...Chaos also laid a mark on your neck, opposite of mine." I wasn't sure if I should have told him, but I felt that I must.
Cloud tilted his head, staring at me as he felt over his neck. He blinked when he realized the difference between both bite marks, and stared at me.
"So I'm yours and Chaos's?"
"So he says. But yes." I nodded.
"I wouldn't mind. As long as you're the first to take me I wouldn't mind." Cloud smiled.
I blinked. How can he be so calm about it? "Then it will have to be soon. Chaos is a demon who is always in demand for pleasure."
"As long as you're first." Cloud pecked my cheek.
Again my instincts took place. I couldn't help but nip his chin with my fangs, all though it was lightly. Cloud mewled and tilted his head in confusion.
"Sorry...instincts. You tease me and I'll nip you." I smirked.
"Hm...I'm a curious kitten now..." he purred.
"Don't. We can do this when we get to the Shinra Manor." I warned, not wanting to avoid unwanted questions of our activities to everyone in this hotel.
Cloud pouts before he yawned, still a bit tired.
"I'll arrange for breakfast while you clean up the room." I said, standing up and headed for the lobby downstairs.
"Yea all righ- Hey! You just don't want to do the cleaning!"
Whoops.
I quickly get out of the room, laughing all the way as Cloud cursed about something about the cold and a certain vampire being making him the maid.
Later in the morning, after Cloud ate, and making me help him clean our room. We could allow the maid of the hotel clean it, but we didn't want any rumours going around of our relationship just yet. A maid can be a very big fangirl of men going out with men, especially if its an ex Turk and the world's savior twice in a row.
Once we finished we headed outside. Of course, Cloud's prized motorbike was still buried deep in the snow from the night I rescued the owner from freezing to death. I used my nose like that night, and found Fenrir where we left it last. I had to knelt down and dig again, but this time I had some help. Within half an hour we retrieved the motorbike and fixed it up to run and had to carefully use a Fira Materia to melt the ice on the engine and wheels.
Finally when the bike was as good as it used to be, Cloud hopped on it and took the wheel. He glanced at me when he started the engine.
"I'll fly." I stated, not exactly fond of riding the motorbike.
Cloud shrugged and drove Fenrir to the path to Nibelheim. Watching him for a second, I smirked before allowing Chaos to take halfway over. You may think that we can only take turns to control this body, but we learned that we both can share at the same time. But it can't be very long, or else we both suffer immense pain. In this form we have wings, my eyes glow to a very bright amber yellow, a cross between my amber red and his intense yellow ones.
The wings flapped and gained lift. When I had enough altitude, I glided in the air following the blond on his motorbike. I was high up not to be noticed, for the morning was still thick with fog. And yet I was low enough to aid Cloud if he were to meet any trouble on the ground below. After all, I don't want to loose my lover when we just confessed.
Fifteen minutes later we reached the outskirts of Nibelheim. Cloud stopped his bike and glanced up into the sky above him. I landed nearby, forcing Chaos back into his realm of our mind as the wings shrunk back into me and my eyes became normal. Well, normal for me that is.
"You all right? That seems...painful..." Cloud said.
"It is if you stay in this form longer than half an hour. But I'll be fine." I reassured him with a smile.
He smiled back. "How about we head to the mansion first, I don't want to let Fenrir get frost damage again."
"And where do you plan on storing it? The best I can figure is the basment deep underground." I stated, smirking when Cloud stopped to think about it.
"Uh...good point. But isn't there a shack at the back of the mansion?"
Memories of the mansion filled my head. After a few minutes I realized that Cloud was right. There was an old shack, something that was always missed because it was small and too small to store many items within it. But it was big enough to fit Fenrir.
"We'll use that then. Saves us time trying to get the motorbike in and out of the underground basement."
Cloud drove on ahead, this time not going way over the speed limit for once. Instead he set Fenrir at ease of twenty five miles an hour around Nibelheim to sneak on by. He probably still had his regrets for what happened to his hometown. After all these years I guess his wounds of the burning of Nibelheim are still fresh. But I believe he's finally healing, about halfway done I think. Now that he is in a relationship, I doubt the regrets would stay for long.
Blinking my thoughts away as snow lightly fell from the sky, I made my own way. Even though Cloud had a foolish reason to avoid driving through the town, I had a better reason. In these parts I'm rumoured as a monster. So I took the same path Cloud used but kept to the shadows. Being a host to a demon, walking silently in the shadows was a natural to me.
Five minutes later of walking in the snow, I found myself at the entrance of the mansion. Taking in a deep sigh, I opened the door and stepped inside. Immediately my nose was attacked by dust bunnies from all the dust in the air, walls, and floor of the manor. My first reaction to so much dust was a cross between a sneeze, a cough, and a growl. Cloud, who was currently looking in one of the rooms, stepped out to peer at me.
"The dust?" the blond smirked.
I growled. "Don't make fun of me."
"Don't worry. I sneezed when I first walked in too. But whatever that was I wish I recorded it." he turned to go back to looking around the room.
I felt tempted to nip him in punishment, but I refrained. It'd be best not to make him hard when we just arrived.
"You're not planning on cleaning this whole place are you?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Um...with you helping me yea." I heard him say from the room across from me.
"Cloud, I don't think we'd be able to eleminate all the dust until the world ends." I chuckled, taking a good look around the first level of the manor.
I'd hate to see the dust collected on the second level.
"Do you want to wake up every morning sneezing, coughing and growling your brains out?" Cloud raised an eyebrow at me, a slight teasing tone in his voice.
"Touche."
After contemplating over how we were going to clean the whole mansion without it collected in our lungs, we managed to clean a bedroom on the second floor. The room already had a queen sized bed, a closet, a dresser and a desk with a chair. We had to take out the first chair because it had a broken leg and replaced it with a better one that wasn't rotting. I didn't really think we'd find a chair that wasn't rotting, but changed that thought when Cloud came back with it saying he sat on it and it worked like a charm.
To clean this one bedroom took us about four and a half hours of sweeping, washing, dusting, and polishing. By the end of the day my arms felt so tired and heavy it felt like they were about to fall out of my sockets. My right arm hurt the most since I can't do much cleaning with my demon arm. Once we were done, I set my cloak, my leather outfit, and shoes in the closet. Yes, the shoes went in there too. Cloud was too scared that if he had to get up in the middle of the night to step on them.
"Four and a half hours of cleaning just one room. If we did this everyday in this manor, we'd be able to finish cleaning by the end of the summer." I stated when I collapsed on the bed.
Cloud sighed and fell beside me, snuggling closer. "Hm...I think we should ask for some help to clean this..."
"Who? Tifa? I doubt she'll be good company. All she'll do is complain." I raised an eyebrow at him.
"No I meant Denzel and Marlene."
"Hm..."
"What?"
"I don't object the idea."
"Then we'll ask them. After we find the rose." Cloud yawned.
"Get some sleep." I said, glancing over at him.
Cloud was already asleep. Smiling to myself, I kissed his forehead before closing my eyes and let sleep take over.
That night I had yet another weird dream concerning the blue rose.
