-The Black Chocobo: The Rewrite-
Slowly picking himself up from the ground, Zack scowled at the destroyed Buster Sword. How could Cloud let this beautiful blade, one that had so much history rust away in the open?
Zack touched the top of the sword, and slowly swiped the tip of his finger across and felt the build up of rust coating it. He whimpered. He just could not believe the horror nature had done to Angeal's family honour, his honour! Oh poor baby, darling sword. Running his fingers lightly across the edge of the blade he felt the cracks beneath the pads. It was a nightmare. A bit of rusted metal broke off and he whimpered even more.
Once again, Zack kneeled next to it and gently laid his head on the blade and closed his eyes. Breathing in, he thought of dreams on honour. But what were dreams and honour without a blade to hold those dreams and honour? Opening his eyes with a determined gleam, he stood up. Zack took hold of the hilt but didn't pull it from the ground; instead he turned around to Cloud that was staring at him, while next to his bike.
"Cloud, I'm not sure you know how much this sword means to me, but is there a place in Edge that can give the Buster Sword a repair and clean?" Cloud nodded and said that they would go there as soon as it was opened. During the weekends, the shop that was able to repair it was usually closed. It was the place that had created Tsurugi complete and sharpened it when Cloud wasn't bothered doing it himself. They did a wonderful job.
Zack pulled the Buster Sword from its dirt grave, and gently laid it in his arms. It just felt so fragile, weak and pathetic. Moving his hand around, he ran his thumb across the sharp edge of the sword. Blunt, dented in and hardly sharp. Zack's frown deepened.
"Don't worry, I'll soon get you fixed up." Zack assured the inanimate object. He patted it before looking at the rust that came off on his hand. The wind replied in his ears as he got up and walked slowly towards Cloud and Fenrir.
Cloud opened the compartments on Fenrir, withdrew two swords connecting them before putting them back in, leaving one space for the Buster Sword. Zack came up and slowly but gently placed the old sword in the slot. Cloud closed the sword compartment and hoped on Fenrir, tapping the back seat while smirking. Zack nose laughed and swung his leg around the back of Fenrir. Well it was Cloud's bike after all, and he could get back to driving later on. Cloud took off, and Zack's mood began to lift as he felt the breeze through his hair.
As they drove towards Edge, Zack cuddled closer towards Cloud and rested his forehead on his shoulder. He liked the feeling of wind blowing through his hair. It was always something he was fond of ever since he was younger.
Zack remembered when he was younger, on days when the sky was clear, he would climb up to the top of the hills and just relax, feeling the wind roll over him. On one of the hills, there was a tree that offered shade and he used to go up there to study on militant techniques before he joined Shinra, but always ended up falling asleep.
He hummed in pleasure before smelling the blond. He let out a small laugh before whispering in Cloud's ear.
"You smell nice." Zack hot breath ran across Cloud's ear, making the blond slightly shiver. Cloud turned his head towards Zack's hair before taking a deep breath in. He quickly turned away and coughed. Zack frowned at him.
"You smell … Gross, Zack." Cloud coughed once more before lightly tapping his chest. Zack whined deep in his throat in protest. It wasn't his fault that he smelt, Cloud was the one that dragged him through those alleyways when they were back in Kalm. Zack knew that Cloud known that he almost vomited from walking through those alleyways, from him heaving a few times. Stupid infested place. You would think a small town like that would be clean, but apparently not.
Not bothering to reply, Zack rested his head on Cloud's right shoulder again as he relaxed while Cloud drove them towards Edge. He later drifted into a sleep like state due to the inactivity and rumble of the engine. Unknown to Zack, Cloud softly rested his head on Zacks head and smiled.
xXxXx
Nearing the gates, Cloud bounced his right shoulder up, shocking Zack awake. His eyes shot open as he was startled. Cloud laughed as Zack almost jumped of Fenrir. Zack glared at him before going in a sleepy state and rested his cheek on Clouds head. He drew in a deep breath before sighing in content, ready to fall asleep again. Cloud moved his head to the side extracting a very irritated sound from Zack.
"Stay awake. I'm not going home until we get you some new appeal." Cloud shrugged his body, successful making Zack annoyed again. "If you just wake yourself up, I won't have to keep nudging you to stay awake." Zack just whined but this time he moved one of his hands from around Cloud to rub the sleep out of one of his eyes. His jaw cracked as he yawned.
Cloud slowed down Fenrir to a stop when he got to the gates. One of the gatekeepers, from his little lookout next to the gate pressed a switch and opened the gates. Cloud drove into Edge. Zack eyes looked at his surroundings. The city was more intriguing close up then what he could see from the Lifestream. The whole place seems more alive with activity than Midgar ever was. It was bustling, it was crowded, and Zack thought that a city couldn't get anymore busier. He felt like he was suffocating. The air was much thicker than the farm, but that was to be expected, being that the farm was out in the open with less pollution around.
People were walking everywhere, cars were everywhere too, but the worse was the motorcycles. They were like ants! If you drove past a traffic light, all you will see were motorcycles covering the front, and maybe the occasional car breaking through. Zack had always wondered what would happen when the slums and the upper plate would merge. He thought it would be nice and calm, everyone living a wonderful life. Well, it was wonderful that a slum didn't exist anymore, but has the government … That guy in urban development … What was his name? Tuesday or something? Zack couldn't think of that guy's name, but wouldn't he think of expanding the place? If Zack ever saw the guy again, he was gonna tell him to expand the city. Couldn't he tell it was crowded?
Now, even though the city was bustling and packed with motorcycles, there was one motorcycle that everyone stood clear of, and that was Fenrir. Maybe it was the fact that the size of made it intimidating that it look like it you wipe your ass up and down the city, or maybe the fact that it rumbled like a male pubescence Bahamut that just got rejected a lay from the prettiest Bahamut in summon school, or just that plain old fact that it was Cloud Strife driving it. Who knows, but what Zack did know was that Fenrir made the traffic move to the side so it gave Cloud and Zack a perfect clearing to the mall.
Getting to the mall, Cloud drove down into the underground parking. They soon found a parking spot, and walked towards the automatic sliding doors.
"So Cloud, we're just here to get clothes and then we're off?" Cloud looked to Zack and nodded.
"Just the clothes? Nothing else?" Cloud nodded again before they walked across a pedestrian crossing. Zack groaned.
"While we're here we might as well do something else." Zack just looked at Cloud with a hopeful smile on his face. Not getting any attention from Cloud, whined deep in his throat and rested his cheek on Clouds right shoulder while poking a finger into his arm. Cloud just brought his hand up and used his index finger to push Zacks head off his shoulder. When he put his hand back down, Zacks head was back on his shoulder. Cloud looked at Zack in the corner of his eye, and saw that Zack was looking at him with a big grin on his face. When they got in the mall Cloud stopped walking and sighed softly.
"Isn't it hard walking with your head on my shoulder?" Zack didn't move his head from its little perch.
"Yep!"
"So why don't you move it?" In the corner of his eye, he could see a kid with a drink watch on with wide, curious eyes as he ate his ice block.
"You know why." He started to poke Cloud again, in the same spot. Cloud stopped and looked at him.
A sigh escaped the blond mans lips as he nudged Zacks head off. Said man tried to come closer to rest his head on Cloud again, but again, a single digit stopped him.
"What do you want then?" Cloud gave in, as he turned to walk off. Zack was quick to follow.
"I'm hungry." So that was it. He was hungry. After that little bit of embarrassment, all he wanted was food.
"Fine, after we get you new clothes, I'll get some food for us both, alright?" It was like talking to a child. Zack was like a child at times when he wanted to be, Cloud knew that very well. He was used to Zacks little antics since he first met him on that mission years ago. Despite that playful, childish side to Zack, there was also a serious man. He didn't earn his First Class reputation for nothing. Zack was unmistakably one of the best military leaders. Cloud faintly remember that one of his days at Shinra boot camp, his normal commander had to be sent out on this minor mission, and someone else was to be taken the class for that day.
When Zack entered that room, Cloud had let a small grin appear on his face, and he faintly remembered Zack shot him a smirk in return. Cloud first thought was that, that lesson would be easier than the other ones, but he was forgetting one little important detail. Zack was a First Class, and just like Sephiroth or Director Lazard, he didn't expect 'Tardiness' from the troops. That day was one of the most days Cloud had felt worn out in a positive way. His unit original commander would always stick to the same old, regular exercises and tactics that it would soon get boring. When day took over, it was some of the same stuff, but he added little games in there making it a little extra fun and thus making the troops work that little extra harder, but if someone did fall out of line, and slack off a bit, Zack would almost immediately tell them off, or make them stand out and say something to make that person embarrassed and possibly point out that they were getting embarrassed and say something that would make them even more embarrassed. Even Cloud didn't get spared.
Thinking back on it now, those little training exercises really did come in handy for what was to come. Cloud yet his lips tug into a small smile and he look to the Zack of the present day. Sure, that militant part of him is there and will always be there, but since he wasn't in the army anymore, that child in him would be showing more and more, and somehow even though Cloud sometimes didn't mind it, it did get rather annoying.
Zack caught Cloud smiling at him and he grin a really big grin, but it was soon replaced with a face of recognition.
"About the meal Cloud, I don't want it to be a crappy, fatty, fast food meal. I want café or restaurant grade food! This whole time I've been … Err … 'Resurrected' I haven't had a decent meal, and I'm dieing to get my chompers down on a piece of cow, if you get my drift." He then clicked his teeth together twice and wagged his eyebrows. Cloud nearly frowned. Nearly. Seeing the logic behind it, Cloud nodded before walking off to look around clothe shops. Zack followed closely behind.
xXxXx
Both Cloud and Zack sat down on one of the lounges that were placed in the middle of the walkway that allowed customers relaxation after shopping. They both went to multiple shops, buying Zack different types of clothing. Since it was summer heading into autumn, most of the summer stock was on sale and the new warmer clothing was bring brought out, and since it was heading into the cold part of the year, a lot of the clothing were dark colours. Not that Zack minded of course. He usually went with dark colours, unless he had that occasional mood to wear something bright like white or blue. He had picked out two dark blue jeans with one that was a lighter, washed out blue. He also got four different types of shirts. All the tops were dark coloured, but were lose fitting, because Zack though that skintight was uncomfortable. It took them three shoe stores to finally find a pair of combat boots that he liked.
They soon when to buy Zack some boxes but he claimed wanted briefs because he said that boxes can be rather uncomfortable to move in and defiantly uncomfortable for his penis. He then started to talk about a pair of briefs that he had before with a dog head printed at the front and a tail on the back. Apparently Angeal brought it for him as a gag gift for his birthday. Either way, Zack loved it. They brought Zack some plain briefs, and also brought a few pairs of socks.
After buying appeal for Zack, they when to the supermarket and brought the essentials like body wash and tooth paste. Cloud learned that Zack was picky when it toothpaste.
Zack looked down at the plastic bags, and then back up to Cloud with a grin. He was quite happy to buy some civilian clothing. Back when he was a SOLDIER, Zack had asked Sephiroth why he always wore his uniform, and his reply was that it was suggested that all SOLDIER personnel wear their uniform for Shinra's image. After hearing that, Zack usually kept his uniform on unless he was going out with friends or such. He had to admit that the uniform was pretty comfortable plus flexible and it did come in handy on those hot Midgar days. Not to mention he looked sexy in it and he was the one that made it sexy.
"So we gonna eat now?" Zack made small talk with Cloud. The other nodded.
"First we should take these bags back to Fenrir, then we'll head back in and eat. I know this place that might just suit your taste." Cloud got up and walked out of the automatic sliding doors heading towards the car park before Zack bumped into him. He looked over his shoulder and raised one of his eyebrows at Zack questioning why he bumped into him. Zack just smiled and followed Cloud. Cloud brushed it off as Zack trying to seek attention.
"I hope it does suit my tastes." Cloud huffed in response.
"Anything suits your taste Zack." Zack just copied Cloud and huffed back.
Zack looked straight ahead, waiting at a pedestrian crossing, and then heading across with Cloud. When they got to Fenrir, Cloud opened the storage compartments and put the bags he was holding, before taking Zacks and also putting them in. After Cloud put it all away and closed it, they then headed back towards the sliding doors.
"I really hate smokers, and I most definitely hate the smell." Zack said when they made it back inside the loud mall after walking through a cloud of cigarette smoke. Cloud ignored his comment.
After walking a bit, Cloud soon headed into a small dim café next to an escalator. Zack look up at the shops name with a simple smile. 'Moonlit Cafe'. Well it was certainly a nice, peaceful name. Looked welcoming too with all the low lighting and such, but the judging will come when he tastes the food. Zack quickly walked up to Cloud waiting at the desk. A girl at the looked at him and he gave a bright grin to her. She grinned in return.
"Welcome to Moonlit cafe. Will it only be a seating for two?" She asked looking at Cloud. He just nodded.
"Alright, follow me," they followed her dodging tables and chairs before standing next to a small table that was accompanied by two chairs, "You'll be seated here. Please wait here until a waitress come to you." She soon walked off.
Both men were soon seated and were looking at their menus, before another older waitress came to them. "Would you like any drinks while you wait?" She asked as stood there, ready with a pad and pen in her hand. Cloud put down his menu and looked at her.
"Carmel latte thanks." She wrote that down before looking at Zack. Zack quickly looked up at her. "I would like an apple juice please." She quickly wrote that down before walking off before telling them that their drinks will come soon. Zack looked back at his menu.
There was a lot of interesting beef dishes, but he wanted it simple, yet good. Something he was familiar with. He tapped his chin a few times before he spotted something. Rump Steak with chips, a side of salad and a choice of Mushroom Sauce or Dianne Sauce. Zack grinned and put his menu down and looked at Cloud, who was still looking at his menu. The waitress came back and gave each of them their respected drinks. Zack was happy that he got a straw in his. He liked straws very much.
"Have you decided what you would like to order?" Zack nodded and she put the drink tray between her arm and chest before drawing out her pad and pen from the pocket in front of her apron.
"I would like to have the Rump Steak with Mushroom sauce thanks." Zack spoke first and Cloud put down his menu before looking up at the waitress.
"How would you like that cooked?" She asked with a smile.
"Well-done." He smiled back.
"And you?" She looked at Cloud.
"The chocobo burger, thank you." Cloud then took a sip of his latte, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the taste on his tongue. She nodded before walking off.
Zack sipped on his juice enjoying the fake, sugary taste of it. He did rather have freshly made juice, but just for this moment, he would indulge in it. He put down his drink and leaned back into his chair.
"A chocobo burger? Why a chocobo burger of all things?" Zack frowned at Cloud.
"Because I like the taste of chocobo, and I'm in the mood for a burger. Why ask?"
"If that was me in the burger, would you eat it?" Zack's face held no emotion. Cloud frowned slightly. He walked right into that one.
"... No."
"But you would eat this random chocobo in burger form?"
Cloud pinched the bridge of his nose. "But this chocobo isn't you Zack."
"I know it isn't but it could have been me! That is some chocobo they're cooking in their kitchen! A chocobo!" Zack said in all seriousness.
"Zack, where is this leading too?"Cloud asked.
Zack lowered his eyes and spread his hands on the table before leaning closer to Cloud, before whispering, "They could be frying up Noodle and we don't even know!"
"Who?" Cloud couldn't help and stare stupidly at Zack as he slowing pulled the pieces together. It was only another one of Zack's random antics.
"Noodle, my chocobo inmate at the chocobo farm penitentiary. You know, the one where Nutcase Bill is the warden? The one I rode to Kalm with!" Cloud officially knew now was the part where he nodded and didn't say anything. Zack stared hard into Cloud's eyes before leaning back and grabbing his juice.
"I had a strange feeling that he was feeding chocobo's to Floss, that big ball of flab and feathers." He sipped his juice.
As soon as Cloud raised his eyebrows, the waitress came back to their table with both hands carrying the food. She passed the rump steak to Zack and then the chocobo burger to Cloud before walking off to serve someone else. Zack took his knife and fork and cut a small piece off his steak, while Cloud just took a bite out of his burger. Zack examined this piece before putting it in his mouth and then slowing chewing. Zack smiled and hummed in approval feeling all the juice from the steak in his mouth. The tenderness of the steak only complemented it. Cutting another piece off, he dipped it in his mushroom sauce that was in a small bowl before eating it. If the steak was beautiful before, it was heavenly now. No matter how many times he ate steak with mushroom sauce, he will never get over how good they taste together. There was not one steak he had tasted with mushroom sauce before that had tasted bad. What could Zack say? Cloud was right when he said that anything suits his tastes ... When it comes to cow that is.
When his steak was half gone, his drank some of the apple juice before munching on a chip and looking towards Cloud. The blond was also halfway down his burger and staring at people walking past the cafe. Zack soon waved his hand around, catching Cloud's attention while chewing and swallowing his chip.
"So Cloud, I need to tell you something about when I was in the Lifestream." Zack soon chewed away on a leaf from his salad. Cloud put his burger down and slipped his latte while nodding his head to signal Zack to keep going.
"I probably shouldn't be telling you this, and well, I'm not going to tell you everything, but when I was in the Lifestream, sometimes I was able to watch you in your daily life. It's one of the little 'extras' that we're allowed in the Lifestream. You would be able to do it too when you died." Zack explained before cutting into his steak again.
Cloud just stared at Zack in disbelief. Why didn't Zack tell him this information before when they were riding on the chocobo's when headed to Kalm? That would have saved a lot of explaining and breath. He put the rest of the burger in his month before speaking.
"And you're telling me this, why?"
"Because the silence was killing me. Seriously Cloud, brighten up, you're making me into a stoic you, and that isn't fun at all. When we were at the farm, you're all loose, and now you're all silent and void of most of your emotion. That isn't healthy at all. I want to see some more of your happy, playful side." Zack drank the rest of his juice before eating the last bits of his steak.
"How I act isn't much of your concern Zack." Cloud looked away and chewed on a chip.
"It's very much my concern Cloud. If you're not going to act like yourself, how are you ever going to be happy? It's okay to smile and act like yourself in public. It's okay to go out and hang with friends! Don't act like this." Cloud could tell that Zack was very unhappy about all this, and the last thing the blond wanted to do was make Zack upset. It's not every day that your dead best friend gets a second chance at life, and he didn't want to make him unhappy, but it really wasn't Zack's concern at all.
Not getting a response from Cloud, Zack huffed and finished off his juice before eating at his chips. Let Cloud act stubborn then, he'll get his pay back for being stupid. One day that is.
After they finished eating and got up to pay for their food, the mood between them lightened up. As they were about to exit the mall, a few girls came up to them holding a piece of paper and pen.
"Umm, are you Cloud Strife?" One of the girls asked shyly. Cloud nodded and that extracted a few awes of excitement between the girls. Zack stayed silently off to the side, just watching the actions between the girls and Cloud with interest.
"Can we have your autograph, please?" All three girls held out both a pen and paper for them to sign. Being polite, Cloud smile and once again nodded, asked for their names, signed the paper and handed it back to them. The girls soon walked away, and Zack looked back at them with his jaw open. He then looked back at Cloud, his jaw still opened until he saw Cloud walking towards the automatic doors without him. The black haired man soon jogged up to him and walked out the doors with him before jumping in front of Cloud, opening his jaw again in surprise. Zack gripped Cloud's shoulders.
"You never told me how popular you are now! Of course you're popular! You saved the world from Mr. General-Sir! I know that the freaky stalker chick loves you, but random people coming up to you and asking for your autograph? Dude – Spike – Wha – Cloud you're like a super hero if people are asking for your autograph! Wait; would that make me a super hero since people ask for my autograph back in the day?" Cloud started to walk back to Fenrir again, and Zack followed still flabbergasted with his random hero revelation.
"I can see it now! Me in tights and wearing a cape, jumping off buildings and saving the poor woman that is about to be robbed by a low life thief! Ka-doosh, right in that random guys face with the flat side of the Buster Sword, then is arrested by the Midgar, uhh, Edge police! Then I stand in a victory pose and all the chicks cuddling up with me and patting my chest, with my cape flying in the wind." Zack posed his 'hero's victory pose' in the middle of the path and a granny just looked at him and shook her head before heading in a different direction. Zack soon saw Cloud nearing Fenrir and soon ran up to him with a big grin on his face.
"It's a hero's life I tell you Cloud! Perfect. But you know, you're the only girl I want patting my chest." Zack pecked Cloud's cheek to prove the point, if there was even a point to prove. Cloud hopped on Fenrir and turned towards Zack with a small smile. Zack smile went wider before hopping on behind Cloud, and wrapping his arms around the blond, and resting his chin on his shoulder again.
"See! Now that is what I want to see, a smile from stoic Cloud, and it seems that when I kissed you, it made you smile. Guess I'll be kissing you more often then." Cloud bounced his shoulder in response and nose laughed.
"I guess it's time to go home." Cloud stated. Zack just raised an eyebrow.
They soon both took off.
xXxXx
Zack saw an angel. He really did, believe it or not! It was a woman, and her wings were spread wide, with one hand on her chest and another one out as to tell you to come to her. She was standing on a high walk way when Zack saw her. She was beautiful as she basked in the sunlight with a glow, but it was a pity that she was a stone angel. A stone angel that was right next to Seventh Heaven when Cloud drove up to the building, only to swerve to the side of the tavern.
Cloud turned off Fenrir's engines before hopping off her with Zack. Zack soon grabbed the shopping bags and waited for Cloud as the blond rolled Fenrir into the garage. Cloud then walked out, closed the door, locked it then motioned Zack to follow him. As they walked in, Zack noticed that the door said that the bar was closed. Zack looked around the establishment. It defiantly looked much nicer then what he could see from the Lifestream. It carried more of a homey atmosphere than the ones back when Midgar was a bustling city. Zack liked it.
Cloud walked up to the counter and picked up a note that was there.
"Tifa, Marlene, Denzel went out since Yuffie is here." Cloud threw the note out. Zack walked up to him.
"So Cloud, where am I going to stay?" Zack said.
"With me in my room. I don't think Tifa would like it if you make camp out here in the bar. It would drive away the customers." Cloud said as he walked up the stairs. Like the loyal puppy he is, Zack followed. He soon entered Cloud's bedroom. The bedroom was simple. Walk-in wardrobe, queen sized bed, two bedside tables with a lamp on each, and a desk with paperwork and a few photo frames with pictures in them. Next to the desk on the wall was a few sword stands. One of them had the Ultima sword hanging on it.
Walking in the bedroom, Zack put the bags on the bed, then took his shoes off and placed theme near the door. Cloud pointed to a door next to the wardrobe.
"That leads to my bathroom. You can take a shower first if you want. I can wait."
Zack grinned. They both needed a shower, why don't they both have a shower at the same time? He walked up to Cloud and pushed the blond towards the bathroom. Cloud tired to stop, but Zack just picked him up. Cloud scowled and tried to pry Zack's hands away, but they wouldn't budge.
"Zack, what are you doing? Let me go!" Cloud tried to wiggle his way out.
"We both need a shower right? Well, why don't we have one together?" Zack put Cloud on the ground, but didn't let him go. Instead, he pulled him towards his chest.
"Just you and me Cloud. No one is going to know."Zack kissed Cloud's neck and tightened his arms around him. The blond blushed.
Cloud turned his head to look at Zack. Blue met blue, and the blond cheeks reddened. Zack caught it and grinned before pulling Cloud towards the bathroom and opening the door, then closing the door behind them. He locked it. Cloud looked down.
"Come on Cloud, don't tell me you're shy?" The blond looked up and blushed harder when Zack ran a finger across his jaw. Cloud backed up to the door, flabbergasted by his actions.
"There is nothing to be afraid of Cloud." Zack whispered as he leaned closer to Cloud. The hand that was stroking down his jaw cupped Cloud's cheek while the other one leaned against the door. Zack's lips just touched Cloud's for a second before pulling back, and grinned. Cloud just stared shocked as to what just transpired.
"Seriously Cloud, loosen up!" Zack pulled of his shirt and pants and turn to Cloud, who was still against the door, and held out the clothes Chocobo Bill gave him. That snapped Cloud out of his state. Cloud looked at Zack's naked state then coughed.
"Just put it in the corner. We can dump them out later." Zack drew back the shower curtain, then turned towards Cloud, in all his naked glory, not even bothering about covering up.
"It's either you getting yourself naked, or I'm stripping you, choose your fate wisely Cloud." Zack inhaled deeply, stood up straight and crossed his arms trying to act like he was superior. Cloud scratched his cheek before taking his clothing off, while Zack looked on. When Cloud took off his top, he looked at Zack.
"Are you going to keep staring?"Cloud frowned as he put his top in a basket.
"Just enjoying the show while I wait." Zack leaned on the wall next to the shower and rested a hand on his hip. Cloud's frown didn't go away.
Quickly stripping off the rest of his clothes, much to Zack's dismay, and dumping them into a washing basket with his top, he sub-consciously moved his left hand to cover up his cock as he went to the shower. He turned it on, adjusted the heat and hopped in with Zack.
Soon they were scrubbing themselves and sharing the water. Zack watched Cloud the whole time he was washing his hair. Soon as they were finished, and Cloud was about to turn the water off, Zack pushed Cloud on the wall and kissed him. Cloud's eyes widened and gasped giving Zack a chance to slip his tongue in. The blond soon closed his eyes and kissed back while wrapping his arms around Zack.
As soon as it came, it was gone, and Zack moved back and turned the shower off. Zack opened the shower curtain and looked back at Cloud who was still shocked. Zack just kissed his cheek before walking out and grabbing the only towel on the hanger. Cloud recovered and opened the cupboard and grabbing another towel.
They walked out of the bathroom, got dressed in their undergarments, and after Zack whined about wanting the right side of the bed, they hopped in, not caring that the sun was still out, spooned and fell asleep.
When night time came, in the cave underneath Midgar, a figure in a blue sphere awoke.
