Dorm Rules- Chapter Ten

After an hour and a half, Leon pulled into the parkinglot of the hotel. Parking he sighed and pulled out his cellphone calling cloud's phone.

Cloud answered. "Hello?"

"I'm parked near the front entrance of the hotel."

"Be right down," Cloud said. He hung up and kissed Zack softly, before slipping from the bed and moving downstairs. Once down there, he walked slowly, since the walking cast didn't let him move too fast.

Leon was sitting in a brand new vehicle, he playing with buttons he nearly jumped out of his skin when his radio turned on full blast. quickly turning the music down. he held his chest. He looked up spotting Cloud. He grabbed the blondes belongings and walked over to him,

Cloud gave him a smile, watching him walk over. "Hello. Thanks for taking the time to bring all of this." He then looked over the vehicle. "Nice car... you finally got the one you wanted, huh?"

"Hey, it's not a problem." he looked over at the car and smiled "yeah finally, i finished school and had saved up enough to buy it...i also traded my old car in to help.." he looked at him, smiling. sporting an alarming amount of bruises, along with a deep cut wound that ran across the bridge of his nose.

"it's actually good to see you out and about."

"What happened to you?" he asked, watching him.

Leon looked away. "Nothing..." he whispered holding the blonde things out to him. "i should probably...go"

Cloud blinked. "Of course. I'd hate to keep you. I'm sure you have much better things to do." Mentally, Cloud beratted himself. it was foolish. Of course Leon wouldn't want to talk to him.

Leon just looked at him, slightly hurt. He scoffed. "I figured you had better things to do, rather than talk to me."

"No... I don't mind."

"Well...what would you want to talk about then?"

"Well, I just want to know how you're doing,"

"I'm...doing well.I finished school, I had recently just got hired in at the firm..downtown..."

"Congratulations. I'm glad your dreams are still coming true. Is everything going all right at the firm? Nothing bad happening."

Leon smiled "You dont have to beat around the bush, if you want to say something...say it. ask it..whatever. I'll answer it. i'm sure it's probably about my face and the bruises." he murmured "everything is going great at the firm. thank you for the congrats, i hope your dreams come true as well."

Cloud looked at him. "I admit, I am curious as to how you hurt yourself, but I'm not going to ask. No matter what happens... I would like to stay friends with you... but that's selfish of me to say. Honestly... I really wanted to know that everything was all right at work and home. I don't want you to be unhappy."

"I didn't hurt myself." he whispered "why would I bring harm to myself? you know me better than that." the brunette forced a smile to his face. "things at work are great...at home,...i can't get away from him." he whispered "everywhere i turn he's there and everything I do...is wrong. hence i get ''punished'' for it." leon shrugged "the girls helped me move and get away. but i'm anxious...and always looking over my...i'm sorry.. im blabbing."

Cloud reached out, putting a hand on his arm. "I'm sorry. But if you ever need more help... I can help. We could get your name changed... so he can't find you."

Wincing, leon just shook his head sadly. "thanks, but i doubt it will work." he smiled "dont worry about it."

Cloud smiled. "If you need help trust me... I made friends with the police, since I was in that accident. We can help, really, Leon... if you let us."

"It's...not entirely bad. but when I n eed help...if it gets that bad.. i'll keep it in mind." he reasoned. making excuses.

Cloud sighed. "In other words, you won't get help... because it will never be that bad for you.. don't worry, I get it. You're a good person, Leon. You shouldn't have to accept a relationship like that."

"You dont understand Cloud." he looked away "i promise if it gets bad and if he finds me, i'll come to you for help." he shrugged "you cant help who you fall in love with."

Cloud sat back, wanting to rub his leg but knowing he couldn't with the cast. "Yes... I know that."

"That's all it comes down to." Leon murmured "except, without all the happiness. i forget what it feels like...to truly smile." he admitted. "im admitting way to much." he rubbed his temples. "stay happy..." he whispered softly

Cloud patted his hand. "Smiling... is good... don't give up."

"I said I can't smile." he stated matter of factly. "cloud," he said softly. "you have no clue what it feels like to be put in this situation, i hope you never experiance...i" he was cut off by a large blonde grabbing ahold of him and yanking him away. "excuse us." seifer told cloud. "we have things we have to do and he worried the hell out of me..."

Cloud stood up. "That may be... but he was speaking with me first. And I recently scared the hell out of him."

Seifer paused raising an eyebrow at the smaller blonde. "He shouldn't be around you anyways." he said matter of factly. "also does it look like I care if you scare him? if he cant fend himself against a bean pole like yourself he really is simply... a princess...ain't that right kitten?" he smacked leons ass. causing the brunette to jerk.

Cloud glared. "I didn't mean scare him because I beat him up. And I'm sorry you're so insecure you have to be an ass about things." Cloud looked to Leon. "Thank you for helping me, Leon. Take care of yourself," he murmured, before he turned and moved to limp back toward the room. If Leon really couldn't fight against this man... then he obviously wasn't the man Cloud once knew.

Leon began stuggling against seifer once he was certain that cloud wouldn't be paying any mind to them. "quit it" he hissed "your hurting me." the taller man smirked and tightened his grasp on squall. "just get in the fucking car." he snapped bitterly. "i bet your fucked the little whore."

Cloud did hear, but honestly, there wasn't much he could do since he was hurt and not healed completely yet. Honestly... Leon could fight and win... if he wanted to... but it was obvious... Leon didn't want to fight.

Seifer picked the struggling man up and put him in his car. he got into the drivers seat and sped off. Hating the fact that the brunette had gone to see his ex. It infuriated him. It was bad enough Leon had invested time and money into the man...though the relationship crumbled, seifer really didn't feel comfortable with the two maintaining a friendship as well. Besides, one more little push, and his kitten would probably end the s uffering he was enduring. He didn't want the man to, and yet he did. The mans tears pleased him, his screams excited him. to top it all off, leon claimed to be in love with him...and didn't do a damn thing to avoid...or try to leave him. he just followed along, and let himself be dragged along. ,that is until. today, when he struggled against him.

Cloud frowned. That... wasn't Leon who'd left. That was Squall... the person Cloud didn't know... had never known... and from the way he kowtowed to Seifer... Cloud would never know.

A little while later, Cloud's phone rang. grumbling zack answered it. "hello?" he mumbled groggily. "Is...is cloud there? May I talk to him?" the raven haired man handed his lover the phone. "some guy." he mumbled

Cloud blinked and took it. "Hello?" he asked, voice soft from having been asleep himself.

"Could you...come here, please?" tifa murmured

Cloud sat up. "Tifa... since when do you sound like a man on the phone?

"Apparently since zack answers your cellphone."

Cloud yawned and stretched. "Your place I take it?"

"Yeah. Haven't you heard the latest news?"

"Hard to hear anything when I've been in the hospital for so long."

"It just happened, a couple hours ago.. I hate..to say this...but.. Leon...is ...he's..."

Cloud sat up straighter. "Leon's what, Tifa?"

"he's...dying."she whispered "yuffie and I went over to check on him about 3 and a half hours ago, and we found him covered in...semen. it looked like he had fallen and clipped the side of his head on the buffet table..the fact seifer is missing, makes me doubt that. besides...leon was never clumsy. Yuffie is a mess. I just felt bad...the doctor told her that he is extremely fatigued, so even if he wanted to fight off his attacker..he was too weak to."

Zack looked at cloud. "if it's bad news im going back to sleep and wishing this day to end."

Cloud closed his eyes. "Let me get dressed and I'll head straight for the hospital. Zack's gonna dream of a better day for me too..." That said he hung up and turned to Zack, kissing him softly. "Seems today is really not our day."

zack kissed him back "dont. hurt yourself." he whispered

Cloud smiled. "I have no intention of hurting myself... but a friend may die... and I'd feel terrible if I didn't see them before that worst could happen. But... I'm hoping it won't."

zack sighed heavily. "Im sure he'll pull through." he tried to encourage him, and gently patted his thigh. "now, have fun."

"I don't know how much fun this will be... but I'll come back soon." That said he moved to shower and dress, before heading for the hospital.

Zack just sighed and put a pillow over his head "this.. sucks." he muttered to himself.

Tifa was at home taking care of things, however Yuffie remained beside Leon, tears in her eyes. "how..could he do this to you?" she exclaimed sadly.

Cloud walked in, looking toward Yuffie. "How's things?" he asked, even as he walked over to the bed.

She looked up at him, her eyes blood shot from crying. "Just look at him!" she sobbed pointing at the man laying in the bed, practically black and blue from the continous bruises all over his body, cuts, scraps, burn marks, joined the mixture of the torture. "he's...just..awful looking."

"Go get something to eat... I'll stay with him till you can clean up, Yuffie."

Nodding she got up from the seat, gently letting go of her friends hand. "now i know how tifa and aerith felt, when you and zack were in here, and unresponsive." she gently patted clouds shoulder "difference is. i dont think he wants to live."

Cloud nodded, watching her leave. He then moved over to Leon, putting a hand in his. "What is this, Leon? You can't give up just because things aren't going your way. Don't let him win like that. You're stronger than this. I know that. You survived our break-up... and you were making your dreams come true. So what if he isn't the one for you either. Life is about trial and error. You'll never know if you don't try... and I refuse to see the person on this bed... who's giving up... as the man I once couldn't live without. Come on Leon... fight. You aren't alone. There are plenty of people who care about you. Right here."

Leon's hand didn't move, instead it stayed limp in cloud's grasp. He made no recognition of even being talked to. He remained unresponsive.

Cloud sighed, even as he tightened his grip. "When did you become a quiter? I don't remember you this way. You're still someone I care about. Sure... I'm not your boyfriend... that doesn't mean I don't worry about you!"

Still...nothing. A nurse came in checking on him, she smiled at cloud. Trying to show she wasn't worried...hoping it'd rub off. She looked at leons vitals and hummed. "a friend of yours?"

Cloud nodded. "Yes, a dear friend. Who's being an idiot, it seems. If he gives up like this... I'll never forgive him. I just can't."

The nurse sighed ''Ever think maybe...he can't hear you?" she whispered "he is showing signs of being comatose. Do you know who would hurt him this badly?"

"Yes... and being comatose doesn't mean he can't hear me. They say people in coma's wake from them because of people talking to them... as if they were awake. And they recall the talks."

"And the ones who dont respond...are the ones who feel they have nothing left to lose. Think about it, an attractive young man with...Im guessing an abusive..partner." she looked away. mistakening cloud for leons partner. "no one deserves someone so cruel to him. If he does wake up...it is his choice whether he presses charges or not...however. if he lets go. the person responsible will go to jail. for manslaughter."

she sighed "at least that's what i've been told." she looked at clouds leg. "how did you hurt your leg?"

Cloud looked at her. "Car accident. I was released just today. As for his lover, I hope he does go to jail. In fact, I'm going to call the police here in a minute."

"They have already been called, they actually should be arriving shortly. You can talk to them then, unless of course you wish to call on your own accord."

"If they're already coming... then it would just waste their time to call them a second time."

"Point taken, but..I have a question. If this young man is a dear friend of yours. Why would you allow him to put himself in this situation?"

"I was in the hospital for two months... I didn't know how his private life was. Before that... he was still in school... and before that... we were dating. But things... ended badly. Despite all that, I still care about him. He's still someone I know is a fighter. The fact he let things get as bad as they have actually shocks the hell out of me... because I've never known him to be submissive."

"You do realize the cops are going to count you as a suspect, especially with the information that things ended badly between the two of you. Along with the fact..you seem more angry with him than upset at the fact someone hurt him. From what I understand about, homosexual men, excuse me, is that if a man is smaller than his partner, he generally tends to be submissive. The reason you weren't able to witness his submissive side is because, you dear, are in fact smaller than him. Perhaps he was trying to...use that testosterone to impress you. All men are guilty of it, well most men are. I do know he's dehyderated, and exhausted...he has extreme fatigue. He has basically ran himself into the dirt. Neglecting proper care of his body, even if he's not submissive. It wouldn't have taken much to inflict pain upon him." she informed cloud. "is he the type of person who was always working or on the go?"

Cloud nodded. "He is. I was always making sure he ate properly. And it didn't end badly in the way you're thinking. Besides that, I'm angry that he's giving up. I'm pissed that someone did this to him... and for as much as people want me as a suspect, I was with my boyfriend till I was called and told he was here. His current boyfriend dragged him off earlier, but Leon wasn't protesting it at all."

The nurse looked perplexed. "Is he someone who...speaks up when he needs help? or will he just take care of things himself?" she asked regarding leon. "you say you know he's a strong person. maybe he didn't want to worry you, maybe he was asking for help.. the only one who knows is him." she sighed, changing the IV saline. "anyways. i'll stop questioning you, i'm just a little worried. i just..think that if he views you as highly as you speak of him. maybe...just maybe he didn't want you to be concerned." she shrugged once she was finished. "i'll leave you for now, if you need anything. just push the call button." she informed him before leaving the room

Cloud sighed closing his eyes. "If that's the case... I really will be mad at you for a very long time, Leon... because... then... we would have... never... had... a true relationship. Because... you would... have been keeping secrets from me. And not trusting me... to be the man... you could be equals with," Cloud but his head down on the bed and unable to stop himself, began to cry. Sure, Leon and him weren't a couple... but that didn't mean Cloud hated him. He still cared... it just wasn't the same... and the last thing he wanted was to have Leon die. "How can... I apologize for being... a terrible boyfriend... and not realizing all of this... if you die? How can I make it up to you... if you're not here?" he asked, even as he continued to cry, his face burried in his arms.

A tear ran down leon cheek, his heart rate excellerating at the sound of cloud crying. He wanted to move, it hurt to damn bad to lift a finger. "don't" he choked. his voice extremely raspy and thick "start..."

Cloud lifted his head, his hands instantly grabbing Leon's. "Oh god... don't talk... please... just get better. You're not supposed to end up in here when I've just gotten out of here..."

"sorry...for everything ...just ...dont ...cry ...over ...me ... i...want ...you... to...be ...happy ...i ...messed ...things ...up ...and ...this ...is ...my ...fault ...dont ...blame ...yourself ...please...dont...hate me...but...i...love..him.."

Cloud sniffled, reaching out to lightly caress over his face, where he wasn't bruised. "Please... Leon, don't talk... I... I don't hate you... And I know... you do... otherwise you wouldn't have stayed with him... but come on... Leon... you aren't like this. Don't roll over and give up... fight... so you can make him respect you... love you... damn it... I won't be happy if you die..."

"He'll never love me...cloud" leon whispered "if...if he..loved me...he'd be...here." licking his lips "...you...haven't...had problems...with...love..like...me...it...doesn't exist..." tears rolled down his face. "it...doesn't...exist.."

Cloud flinced. "Then... what was it... we had... Leon?" he asked, his voice soft. "Sure... it didn't last... but it was love, Leon. Maybe... he's afraid to go to jail... and that's why he's not here."

"I...loved you...so ...much...I believed in... us...i... feel...so...dead...now ...after...he ...started.changing...you..dont...understand." he choked "why...should...i...live?"

Cloud looked down at him, tears falling from his eyes. "Leon, we... weren't meant to be... but... I don't regret what we had... I know there is a perfect person out there for you... and you won't find them if you give up, Leon."

the brunette opened his eyes, his tears continuing to spill. "Imagine...zack...hurting...you...like this...imagine zack ripping your...heart from...your chest...then...tell...me...if...you..feel...like your...worthy..." he whispered softly "i'm..sorry...but...i invested...so...much..in him...he...is ...my everything...and i'm...a whore..." he stammered repeating seifers words. "i...i..am good for...nothing...i..fuck...everything...up...now please...i..dont want to hurt anymore..."

Cloud shook his head, even as he still cried. "No... Leon you don't. You aren't a whore. Or someone who fucks everything up."

"i'm not as strong as you!" he gathered enough strength to yell "not...anymore..." he finished ashamed "...look at me..."

Cloud brushed his hair back from his face. "Oh Leon... I am looking at you... and I see someone so much stronger than I am. So much more than you can ever tell. Look at you... you woke up... despite the pain... because I was crying. You stayed with the one you loved... even with you admitting... he wouldn't... love you in return... to love someone... knowing they don't return it... is a strength I would never have."

"I'm...just...a...fool...i fell...for...a...man..who...sees..me as...a.sexual..object. i ...fell..for...a...man who...has...been...unfaithful...the...entire...time..." he whispered softly.his eyes closing.."you...could...walk...away...i..tried...but...look...where it...got...me. You're...so..lucky." he just relaxed again,eyes fluttering as he tried to stay awake

"I'll help you walk away, Leon... and I'll start by finding you someone else once you get out of here. Just please... don't give up... Leon. You're still a dear friend... I don't know what I'd do if you died..."

"he'll hurt...everyone...especially you." came the whispy response.

Cloud shook his head. "No... he won't... because even I won't know where you are. I'll make sure you can't be found by him... so you can start over. Fresh..."

"...it's not going to happen." he whispered pessimisticaly "you...can try...but...it'll never work."

Cloud wanted to beg Leon to trust him... but since he never trusted him before... he couldn't make him do it now. So instead, he just held Leon's hand and cried softly.

"Cloud...I've always...trusted you..." leon spoke. "just...believe me..when i say...he'll hunt down everyone...i..know...including your...own...lover."

"Then put him away... tell the cops what happened and lock him up!" Cloud exclaimed, pained that Leon would allow someone to torment not just himself... but everyone he cared about too.

"who will...they believe? me...or the President of ...kyoko hotels?"

"Ah... but you see... he's already got hard evidence against him."

"...what? my body?"

Cloud shook his head. "No... me... because I heard and saw how he treated you before we left the hotel. And I know that my word is like gold to those in the judical system right now. After a month and a half with them... they know I'm not about to lie."

leons eyes closed. "they will view you as biased, cloud." he pointed out. "remember? we use to bed one another, they...will think your trying to frame him..." a bitter harsh laugh passed from his lips. "besides all he has to do is smile, and he's won the female population...i hate...that...smile.." he tried to turn away from cloud.

"I am not being basis... and I'll take a lie detector to prove it. Can Seifer say the same?"

the corner of his lips curled up slightly. "No," he opened his eyes looking at the blonde, squeezing his hand. "thanks.." he whispered "...no more..crying."

Cloud looked at him. "I'm going to fight him. And I won't let his money intimidate me. By the time I'm done... he'll have to give you the hotel chain he owns just to make amends to the pain and suffering he's put you through."

Leon kept smiling at him. "Thanks.." he whispered again. "...do..me a favor? go get some sleep...you look a mess."

"Thanks... but I'm waiting for Yuffie to come back. I know she'll protect you while I'm gone..."

"Oh..."

"And I know for a fact that if Seifer gets neat you while you're gone... Yuffie would cut off his manhood."

"What do you mean if he gets neat?"

"I meant near... I guess I'm so tired I can't talk straight."

"Then go home..." he whispered softly. "I'll be fine..."

Cloud shook his head. "Not till Yuffie gets here. She'll kill me if I leave before then."

the brunette sighed. "okay..."he relaxed leting sleep overcome him.

Cloud sighed, caressing over his forehead.

--

A couple hours later, Yuffie walked in the door, and gently put her hand on clouds shoulder. "You can go home...you need rest more than i do."

Cloud gave her a smile. "Protect him, Yuffie. Don't let that asshole near him. I know you can do it. We're gonna help him."

"Of course we are!" she exclaimed.

Cloud nodded. "I'll be back tomorrow." He then leaned over and kissed Leon's forehead. "You... get better... and just focus on getting better. The rest of us will focus on helping you have a life again."

Yuffie smiled at him. then caught the corner of leons lips curl up into a smile, before relaxing again. She looked at cloud, her dark brown eyes focused on the blondes face. "You...he was responding to you?"

Cloud nodded. "He woke up earlier."

"That's good." she said happily. "okay.. run along.. i'll watch him."

Cloud placed a hand on her shoulder. "Thank you, yuffie."

"Your welcome."

Cloud sighed, kissed Leon's forehead once more, and then began heading downstairs to catch a cab and head back to the hotel.

Zack had gone out, buying groceries and the neccesities that they needed. He frowned as he rummaged through the bags, pulling out a bottle of water. he ran his fingers through his spiky locks. Enjoying the sun beating down on him.

Cloud arrived at the hotel, climbing out of the cab and sighing. He was fairly certain Zack was possibly up and about... which meant he'd missed a chance to wake him up. He turned to head for the room.

The elder watched as the cab drove into the parkinglot. A smile erupted on his face when cloud got out, deciding to be sneaky he quietly snuck up on the blonde and put his hand on his shoulder. "well hey good lookin' wanna take me for a test drive?" he purred thickly.

Cloud started and turned, before a warm smile split his face as he gazed at him. "Well, stranger... you're out of luck... cause I have this hot boyfriend upstairs who's all I want."

Zack tilted his head "Hmm.. I saw him run off earlier." his expression turned serious "because spiders were trying to attack him in his sleep."

Cloud winced. "I guess I should have been here for him. I'm a terrible boyfriend," he murmured, looking down.

Zack blinked and poured the rest of his bottle of water over clouds head "Chill, I was joking. I went to the store to get what we needed."

Cloud gasped, even as he looked up at his lover. "Careful of the cast," he murmured, even as he pressed close to Zack. "Need any help carrying some bags?"

Handing him the lightest bag, zack smiled "Sorry, but you really needed to cool off."

"Its okay," Cloud replied, even as he lead the way into the hotel and up toward their room, holding the bag.

"Only because you enjoy being sokaing wet, for me." he teased trying to get the blonde to laugh or smile. he walked behind him. "so?...how is everything?"

Cloud laughed softly. "Guilty... I like being wet... for you..." he purred. He then looked down, serious. "Well, he's badly beat up... but I think he'll survive. I'm gonna help free him from that abusive asshole... but otherwise... I'm all yours, Zack. I hope you know that."

"There was no doubt in my mind that your all mine." he pulled cloud close holding him. he kissed clouds temple. "i love you.." he whispered softly.

Cloud shivered, even as he looked up at him. "I love you too, Zack. Are you... okay... with me helping him?"

"You're being silly." he said softly "You dont need my permission to help a friend."

Cloud really could see the differences between Zack and Leon. Leon had been jealous of everyone... Zack seemed to trust in him enough that there was no jealousy in him.

Moving to the bed, Zack sat down and sighed "We'll go shopping for clothes tomorrow. I bought some dinner from the restraunt thats in the lobby. I hope you dont mind a hamburger with french fries. I was craving it."

Cloud shook his head. "Not at all. Food is food."

smiling, he handed him the styrofoam container holding his food before taking his own out. he opened it up eating happily.

Cloud smiled, moving to eat and enjoying being with him.

Zack turned the television on, blinking at the advertisement for reasonably priced sex changes. He looked over at Cloud.

Cloud blinked, looking at him. "What?" he asked a little warry."

He pointed at the blonde girl on t.v.. "Do you have a sister...errr..brother?"

Cloud shook his head. "No."

"Hm.. that..person looked like you.." he mumbled before shoving a fry in his mouth. he flipped the channel.

the sight of a genetically altered lab mouse with a penis on it's back, clearly amusing him. "Thank god, it's just a cartoon."

cloud nodded in agreement.

Sighing, zack just flipped through the channels. Not finding anything truly interesting he turned the t.v. off.

Cloud finished and moved over to Zack, wrapping his arms around him from behind.

Smirking zack finished eating his meal and set the strofoam container down on the endtable. "mmm..." he leaned back into cloud embrace.

Cloud smiled, enjoying having him in his arms. It was something he missed... during those two long months in the hospital. Slowly Cloud felt the need to be bold, and nuzzled his lover, licking at his throat.

Groaning softly he exposed more of his throat to cloud. "mmm...feels good." he whispered

Cloud kissed his way up to his ear, before finding a lobe and sucking on it.

Gasping Zack pulled away then pressed closer to him, shivering. "ungh...cloud..." he whispered hotly

Cloud trailed his lips down his jaw. "I miss my lover," he whispered, before pressing his lips to his.

groaning he slipped his tongue into clouds mouth, turning around to face the blonde. he slid inbetween clouds legs, enjoying the kiss. he slid his fingers up his lovers shirt, trailing them against his sides. "mmm...I miss you.." he whispered

Cloud couldn't help but cry out, even as he panted, groaning into his mouth. "I want you..." he whispered.

"What part of me...do you want?" he husked. Removing Clouds shirt, zack broke the kiss licking his way from the mans bottom lip to his lovers nipples. Taking those hardened nubs in between his lips. His tongue flicked over them as he slithered down further. Placing his mouth inbetween clouds legs, he teasingly sucked on the man through his pants.

Cloud screamed out, even as he felt pleasure wash over his body. "G... God... I want... everything... Zack."

"Everything?" grabbing ahold of the littler males pants he slid them off of his body simply tossing them over his shoulder. taking clouds length into his mouth, he deepthroated him at first, slickening him then focused soully on the head, while his hand stroked the shaft, pumping him. he groaned .

Cloud couldn't help but gasp, trembling. "Y... Yes... yes... everything..."

Halting in his actions, Zack removed his own clothing. He then straddled cloud's waist, reaching behind him he lined up his lovers cock with his pucker, pressing down onto it, he bit his bottom lip until it was past the tight rim.

Cloud cried out, his blue eyes wide and a little surprised, but he didn't mind it. Not one bit. "I... I'm not... hurting you... am I?" he gasped, even as he couldn't help but rock up into his lovers body to settle himself deeper inside of him.

Groaning, zack brushed his lips against clouds "of course your not.." he panted softly. taking clouds bottom lip inbetween his teeth he tugged on it as he moved his hips, unable to keep from voicing his pleasure as the member drove deeper into him with each movement. "it feels so good."

Cloud groaned, even as he claimed Zack's lips, beginning to work his hips up and into his lover, amazed that Zack actually wanted to be a bottom for once... yet Cloud wasn't about to complain.

Panting heavily against clouds lips, he gave him a quick peck before leaning back. arching his back using his quad muscles to meet clouds movements. His head was lolled back gasping at the amount of pleasure he was feeling. He had forgot just how good it felt to have his prostate stimulated.

Cloud groaned, leaning in to nibble at his nipples, even as he arched his hips up to pound up into his prostate.

Keen cries erupting from his chest, zack reached up his fingers tangling in the unruly blonde hair pulling it as he bounced faster, then rolled his hips. gasping "..fu...god..."

Cloud hadn't forgotten how to make love instead of taking it... and he rocked up into his lover, enjoying just how Zack felt around his length, nibbling on his nipples some more as he continued to pleasure him.

His walls contricting around clouds cock, he pulled on the locks a tad bit rougher. humming in bliss, he shivered, pulling clouds head back away from his nipples purring as he lustfully pressed his lips against his lovers. his breath hitching, he looked down into those sky blue eyes "so ...good.." he whispered

Cloud groaned, moving to kiss him in return, even as he wanted to pound into him, feeling his whole body shaking, even as he reached down to stroke his cock.

"Cloud!" zack cried out pivoting his hips. He had completly let go of any restraint, kissing the man hungrily. sliding on the cock rougher, his breathing already labored. Not to mention the sweat rolling down his body. gritting his teeth he threw his head back, slamming his lover deep within him before spilling his essence into the mans hand, his legs trembling against him. "ah...god...cloud.."

Cloud screamed out Zacks name, finding himself spilling his seed up into his lovers passage, crying out in pleasure.

Shuddering the man momentarily rested his head against clouds shoulder. "fu..fuck..." he whispered softly. "you..felt great."

Cloud groaned, kissing him softly. "Y... Yes..."

"real...great.." zack bit down on his shoulder, before moving his hips slowly riding out the orgasm in an attempt to keep the pleasure flowing between them.

Cloud shuddered, trembling in his arms.

"Mmmmm.." placing little kisses along his shoulder, he worked his way up to the youngers neck, sucking.

Cloud groaned, even as he arched closer to him.

shivering, zack pulled away, letting clouds cock slip from him. He spread the boys legs prepping him, his glazed over eyes fixed on the mans face. "Do you want it?" he purred

Cloud shivered at that voice, even as he couldn't help but whimper. "Yes... Yes... I do..."

Positioning himself just right, he grabbed clouds legs, letting his calves rest on his shoulders as he thrusted deep inside of him, swiftly. Practically screaming at the tight, wet heat that surrounded him.

Cloud did scream out in pleasure, his head tossed back, even as he loved the total possession of his lover.

Nipping at clouds throat, zack rocked in and out of him. Letting his tongue glide where he nipped and bit. "mmmm..."

Cloud gasped and moaned, enjoying the motions of Zack's hips.

panting heavily. zacks eyes closed enjoying the sound of skin slapping together. his fingers ghosted along clouds sides. until they entwined with clouds fingers, pinning his arms above his head.

Cloud loved it. He couldn't do anything and he didn't mind in the least. Just the feel of Zack as he pound into his ass and the sound of them coming together was enough to drive him insane.

Opening his eyes a sliver, he pressed his lips against clouds, his tongue coiling around the blonds'. Slamming into his lover, he smirked at the sound of the bed squeaking underneath them, and the head board smashing into the wall. "ungh yes..baby." he whispered

Cloud began crying out loudly at his actions, feeling himself trembling at his touches. "G... God... Zack... I'm gonna... cum...!"

"..goo..good." zack cried out, beating cloud to the punch as he tensed, thrusting as deep as he could possibly go inside the tight passageway, before coating the blondes wall with his semen.

Cloud screamed at the feeling, spilling his load.

collapsing ontop of him, zack fought to catch his breath "baby..." he whispered as he nuzzled him "im happy." he hummed

Cloud smiled, kissing him lightly. "I am too..." he replied, even as he yawned softly.

pulling out, zack rolled off of him, laying beside him instead, euphoria still coursing through his body. he smiled as he pulled cloud close.

"Love you," Cloud murmured.

"I love you too."

"I'm... glad."

"Well, Im glad you love me too spiky locks"

Cloud laughed softly.

Ruffling clouds hair he placed his chin ontop of the youngers head smiling contently.

Cloud smiled, enjoying the closeness. "Mm... I'm... tired..."

"me too...i'm beat.."

"Mm... shopping... tomorrow? Together?"

A soft yawn passed his lips "mmm, yeah. I need to buy a way of transportation also..i hate cabs."

"I've got... my old car... being dropped off... tomorrow..."

"...mmm, but i still need one for me..incase our schedules clash." he whispered softly.

"Take the car... I don't... like driving..."

"...okay..." he whispered as he snuggled into him "night.."

"Night..." he murmured, drifting off to sleep.

--

At the brink of dawn the following morning, Zack woke up, and began doing crunches, exercising to keep himself in shape. He walked out of the hotel room going for a jog.

Cloud curled up on the bed... not wanting to get up.

after awhile zack came back, sweat dripping from his body. he laid ontop of cloud. "mmm...wake up sleeping beauty." he purred before sticking his tongue in clouds ear playfully

Cloud gasped, sitting up. "I'm up! I'm up!" he murmured, blinking.

'Obviously." raising an eyebrow the elder got off of him, "im sore." he whined rubbing his lower abdomen. he walked to the bathroom, starting the water for his shower.

Cloud walked over to him. "Want a rub?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Mmm not really. it just made me realize im out of shape, are you awake yet?"

"I'm awake."

Zack leaned close getting close enough that his nose was brushing against clouds. "dont look like it." he chirped happily.

Cloud smiled, kissing his cheek. "Look like what?"

"Like your fully awake." he hummed happily.

Cloud laughed, even as he kissed him. "A shower and I'll be up fine, love."

Giving him a quick peck on the lips zack hopped into the shower. enjoying the coldness of the water

Cloud followed after him, not minding the cold water...

carefully washing himself up, he grabbed the shampoo as well, massaging the liquid into a rich lather. "it's orgasmic." he blurted out suddenly

Cloud blinked, washing with with soap. "Is it?"

Zack laughed "You..know...those...shampoo commercials." he just poured some into his palm again and massaged it into clouds scalp. "now.. your suppose to..." he rubbed himself against the smaller male. "moan."

Cloud moaned loudly, even as he pressed back against him.

"GRRREAT!" zack yelled and pulled away "see it's orgasmic"

Cloud laughed, kissing him softly.

kissing him back, he chuckled softly.

"Mm..." he sighed, even as he cuddled close.

"It must've been an insanely intense orgasm. Look your already worn out." zack joked, as he held cloud close.

Cloud snorted. "Funny, Zack," Cloud replied, even as he trailed a hand over his ass.

Jumping slightly, "mmm...now look at you...coping a feel." he purred thickly.

Cloud laughed. "I couldn't help it... it was just... there."

"You did it wrong." he smacked clouds ass then cupped each c heek squeezing them.

Cloud cried out, arching up into him.

Zacks eyes widened "Oooo you like it rough."

"Um... I do believe... someone told you that..." Cloud murmured, slightly flushed.

"Ahh..so he...did." smirking he leaned close "but i enjoy finding things out for myself."

Cloud laughed softly. "I see... and you do so well."

"Apparently." gliding his tongue along clouds bottom lip, zack chuckled. "I can see why you're versatile." he purred "you're so...damn...passionate in each...role" he slowly backed cloud up until his back hit the shower wall.

Cloud looked at him, his eyes wide. Did... Zack just... compliment him?

"What is it?"

"You... liked the way I top?" Cloud asked.

Zack blinked "...Um..yes, I enjoy the way you top..." looking a bit confused..."why?"

Cloud shook his head. "I guess... I shouldn't let it bother me... its in the past... I'm just being silly."

Pulling away, zack just sighed softly. 'Tell me what is bothering you. It's obviously not silly, so it must matter."

"Well, you were there when he... bad mouthed me. While I know it shouldn't bother me... I can't help it. The words were... hurtful."

"He was angry. Im sure you said angry things to him as well."

"Nothing... like that..."

Zack shrugged "To be honest I dont even recall what he said, I wasn't listening. Because it's between you and him. If it bothers you so much...if he bothers you so much..still, why are you hurting yourself by going to visit him and help him?"

"Not like that, it was merely, the fact I was insecure to begin with."

"Insecure about WHAT?!"

"About how well... I am at pleasing my partner..."

"Cloud..." he whispered "your awesome in bed." he whispered softly. "you are insecure about something i could care less about."

Cloud flushed, even as he couldn't help but smile and press close to him.

zack wrapped his arms around him, holding him close. he shut the water off, since both of them were well rinsed off. "does anything else bother you?" he asked softly

Cloud shook his head. "No... just that... honest... and even now... it doesn't bother me so much."

His eyes saddened a bit and he nodded "Okay." he whispered he let go of him. and stepped out of the shower, drying off, he handed a towel to cloud.

Cloud blinked. "Something the matter, Zack? did I say something that bothered you?"

"I guess I dont understand it." zack whispered "Why is it...that he seems to have so much influence over you, to this day." he said softly "I apologize if me bottoming last night made you uncomfortable, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and i plan on letting you top again. I guess.. what Im wondering is.. are you regretting things?" he licked his lips "I do love you and I mean it, im content. im happy. I want you to tell me things. I dont want to go by what he said that day, because i really wasn't listening, to a word either of you were yelling at one another...the question I have, is.. are you really sure your in love with me?" he whispered very softly and walked out of the room.

Cloud followed after him, pulling a towel on. "Yes, I'm sure! I love you. It was merely something that bothered me, Zack. I wanted to know. I don't have a lot of experince topping so to be told that of course that would influence me. But honestly... I don't want anyone else but you. If you like it then I'm all for it. I just want to be with you, Zack... to learn more about one another and explore what the other likes..."

"Normally, I dont enjoy being topped, but I enjoyed it with you. That should mean something. It does to me, you proved it was more than a fuck. I meant it when I said your extremely passionate in both roles, it's a major turn on for me. I love it when you touch me, kiss me, need me. the one thing i dislike.. is being.. told my lover is insecure, when in my eyes, your perfect. you have absolutely nothing to fear. You very attractive, you have a stunning personality, i fell for all of you. And cloud... i can do with out sex, it doesn't mean anything to me. i just want you to understand that." he closed his eyes "under stand that... i am not him, sometimes i feel...like im being compared."

Cloud looked at him, eyes wide for a second, before he moved to throw himself into his arms, hugging him close to himself. "I'm sorry, Zack... I'll never doubt anything about myself when it comes to us again!"

Zack wrapped his arms around cloud holding him close as well. "I hope not." he whispered softly.

Cloud clung to him, closing his eyes. He didn't want to lose Zack... not at all. He'd let his ex-boyfriends words fade from his mind... as long as he didn't leave.

zack smiled a bit as he held the blond. "mmm. feeling better now?"

Cloud nodded. "Yes."

"That's good."

"Thank you, Zack."

"You're welcome...I think?"

Cloud leaned in and kissed him softly.

returning the gentle kiss, the man chuckled against clouds lips.

cloud pulled back, blinking.

"I just...i just..." zack held his stomach full out laughing.

Cloud honestly didn't know what was so funny.

Zack waved his hands around. "Your facial expression when I was saying how I felt. was comical." he managed to get out. "the way i felt compared to someone completely opposite of myself is also amusing..you must admit."

"I suppose so," cloud replied.

calming himself, zack looked away and pulled away sighing. "Im trying to find the humor in out situation."

Cloud kissed him. "Sorry. I'm just not... good at humor I guess."

"Mmm. maybe it's just an even balance. I rarely take things seriously, or any offense to them. In fact I have to be a supreme optimist, the glass is always half full rather than half empty... that probably annoys you some. doesn't it?"

cloud shook his head. "No... I love it. I'm more a pessimist and the glass is usually half empty and full of dirty..."

"Dirty...what?"

Cloud laughed. "Dirty everything... "

"Hmm. i thought you were going to say dirty underwear, now that'd be a gross glass of water to drink from."

Cloud nodded. "Seriously."

"Imagine if someone shit themselves."

Cloud wrinkled his nose. "Okay... you're becoming a pessimist... stop."

"No, Im not." he gave him a lopsided grin. "Im playing around, and your the one who got the mental image"

Cloud shook his head. "I don't care... that's nasty."

"Ok.. a glass full of...cum?" he teased

"Only if its yours... and you haven't been drinking coffee."

Zack looked at him "Does it really taste that bad after I drink coffee?"

"Its a bit bitter... "

"Is that why you spit it on me the last time?"

Cloud flushed. "I... never meant to..."

"Mmm. It's alright, It's not like it doesn't wash off or anything. It just surprised me."

"I'm still sorry."

'Cloud," zack ruffled the blondes hair "it's alright."

Cloud nodded, even as he leaned in to kiss him.

pulling away playfully he grinned at him. "aww come on now...your making me blush."

"I like how you blush."

Zack raised an eyebrow and put a hand over clouds eyes "now you cant see."

Cloud laughed. "No... I can't."

"Exactly. Meaning I am dis-privilaging you from viewing this awesome beauty of mine." he gloated

Cloud smirked and fluttered his eyelashes against the palm of his hand.

Keeping his hand over clouds eyes, zack leaned close and licked the blondes cheek

Cloud moaned, closing his eyes.

"You...are a strange one...you like your face licked."

"I just like... you touching me..."

"mm do you now?"

"Yes."

Zack smirked and removed his hand "well...well well i would've never guessed"

Cloud laughed softly, caressing his cheek.

"You probably enjoy touching me so much it makes your ding dong hard."

zack teased and sighed "ok.. i think i have the jokes out of my system." he murmured before leaning in for a kiss.

Cloud laughed, kissing him in return. "Mm... possibly. Only one way to know, really."

Grabbing clouds hand, making the blonde touch his body, purring at the sensation of the fingertips gliding along his chest.

Cloud purred, even as he caressed over his chest.

Letting go of Clouds hand, zack just lowered his hand down to his side letting the blonde finish touching him. "I already know what part you enjoy most, please refrain from touching it. It gets excited easily. "

Cloud laughed softly, leaning in close. "Actually. I love your mouth the most," he answered, before starting a slow, deep kiss."

Rubbing his tongue against cloud's sensually, he placed his hands on clouds hips pulling him closer, panting softly in the kiss.

Cloud groaned, even as he couldn't help but kiss him even deeper in return.

Humming, zack kept his eyes opened a sliver, finding this particular kiss arousing. He felt as if he had been reduced back to his school yard days around the blonde. He made him melt. Just like now his knees felt so weak just from a simple kiss, Zack was sure...Cloud was the only thing keeping him grounded.

Cloud moved and straddled his lap, moving to deepen the kiss, enjoying the love that was washing over his body.

Attempting to deepen the kiss further zack gently caressed clouds cheek. Waiting a few moments he pulled away panting softly and regarded his lover with a loving smile.

Cloud shivered, moving to cuddle against him, head on his shoulder. "Mm, this is nice."

"Mmm hmm you can kiss me like that...anytime you want," he murmured "it made me feel all warm and toasty inside."

Cloud nodded. "Me too."

Zack laid back holding him close, he kissed the top of his head.

"I like this."

"I'm glad you do because I absolutely love cuddling. In fact I happen to be a cuddle whore."

Cloud snuggles as close as possible to him. "Mm... I like that even more."

Zack tilted his head to look at him, unable to frown at the moment. He was sure he looked silly with a smile plastered to his face a majority of the time, but..he really didn't care. He was enjoying himself with Cloud, and had been since day one. "I can see why your mom named you cloud."

Cloud blinked, tipping his head. "Oh?"

"Well for one, your so freaking skinny." zack said. "you need to put some meat on those bones. your practically weightless. Im sure if i were to throw you up into the sky you'd just stay there..." he grinned "kidding. anyhow It's because of your eyes. and hair. i think. anyways. For example, your hair is like sunshine, and your eyes are the color of the sky on a warm...sunny day.. the perfect picture in ones head..would intail some clouds. hence you. Does that make any sense?"

Cloud laughed softly. "Yes... a little."

"Ok good. at least you followed me somewhat." he paused "it...was really corny wasn't it?"

Cloud nodded. "Yes... but I don't mind at all."

"You must mind something I do."

Cloud shook his head. "Not so far."

"Hmm. great because i have nothing but love for you too."

"sounds good."

nodding zack yawned and held cloud closely. his eyes closing.

"Tired, love?"

Zack nodded "mm. you?"

"Yes... I'm tired."

"then let's sleep." he whispered as he got comfortable.

Cloud smiled, pressing close against him.

letting sleep overcome him, yet again. zack just held cloud tight, his grasp gradually loosening as he relaxed

After awhile, zack began tossing and turning. pulling away from cloud, he cocconed himself in the blankets laying on the other side of the bed, his back to the blonde. A few seconds later he rolled back over, managing to land ontop of cloud.

Cloud gasped, blinking, even as he woke and and moved to caress his back. "Zack?"

" you're right..." the man murmured in his sleep. "I...am stuck..."

Cloud laughed, helping him roll.

rolling off of the bed, he grabbed all the covers with him. Jerking awake once he collided with the floor. he began trying to untangle himself from the blankets. "...ok.. blankets...you win."

Cloud cloudn't help but laugh softly, even as he leaned over the bed. "You okay, love?"

"If you kiss me and make me feel better, i'll somehow manage to survive."

Cloud moved over to him, leaning in and kissing him.

after he managed to untangle himself from the comforters he deepened the kiss, pulling cloud down with him.

Cloud loved pressing close to him, returning the pressure of the kiss.

groaning, zack slid his hand up clouds back. "mmm baby." he purred "your gettin' me rowdy"

Cloud pressed against him. "I want... more..."

"You always want more...you just can't get enough of it." he murmured huskily while wiggling his eyebrows at the blonde.

Cloud made a soft whimper, pressing his clothed arousal against him. "I need it, Zack... I'm addicted."

Hissing, zack r ubbed back against him. "Take it.." he whispered thickly.

Cloud pressed closer, even as he began pulling both of their clothes off. "You want... to top... or bottom?"

"What do YOU want? My ass or my dick?"

"I like both... I couldn't chose."

"Choose." he growled.

"I asked first," Cloud murmured, even as he found one of Zack's nipples and nibbled it.

Gasping zack arched his back lightly "ungh.. and i said choose damn it." he cried out

"I like both... why do I have to chose? Can't we... do both?" he asked, even as he moved to suck on the other nipple.

Grunting he grabbed ahold of clouds hair yanking him back. panting heavily. "mmm. choose what position."

"I thought... I'd take you... doggy... first..." he panted.

"Sounds delicious...dont forget to pull my hair." zack leaned up biting clouds neck "it turns me on."

Cloud gasped, crying out, even as he tugged on his hair, wanting to move him so he could tease him.

Crying out, zack let go of clouds hair and quit biting his lovers neck he pulled away completely then turned around, getting on his hands and knees for the man

Cloud trailed kisses down his back, licking his way back toward his ass.

Shuddering he twitched, panting softly. 'Tease."

"You need some lube.,.." he purred, even as he licked over his passage.

"I bought some..." zack groaned as he peered over his shoulder "or are you...just wanting...to lick it?"

"You don't... like it?" Cloud purred, even as he thrust his tongue into him.

Jerking forward, he tightened up around clouds tongue. His legs shaking as he cried out.

Cloud grinned, even as he worked his nails over his back slowly.

Tensing further, zack rocked back towards him moaning loudly. "mmm..rake those nails down my back, sweets." he whispered lewdly

Cloud raked his nails over his back again and again, even as he slicked the passage with his saliva, before taking two fingers and pressing them into him.

Eyes widening in surprise, zack whimpered, his back arching. '..fu..fuck...cloud...quit teasing..."

"Are you ready for me?" Cloud asked, one nail trailing down his back.

Gasping feverishly. Zack licked his lips his entire body trembling. "...Y...yeah...i'm...practically...dripping.."

Cloud boldly reached around and grasped his cock, sliding over the head to check, even as he used his other hand to slick up his own length.

Shuddering, zack moved his hips, rubbing his length against clouds hand. purring.

"Mm... look who's become my greedy little lover," he husked into his ear, even as he pressed the head of his member against that wet passage.

Breath hitching, zack turned his head "mmm.. what are ..you going to do..about my greediness?"

"I'm going to give you all I can... to satisfy you," Cloud replied, before thrusting into him, filling him.

Pressing back against him. Zack grabbed ahold of the blankets grasping them tightly. His back arched slightly as a gutteral moan passed from his lips.

Cloud leaned forward and trailed his nails down his back, even as he moved to press into him over and over again.

Moaning zack met clouds thrusts, enjoying the feeling of the cock slipping in and out of him. He purposely tensed each time he'd rock forward. "cloud..." he whispered hotly. "I want your mouth."

Cloud leaned in kissing over his back. "How do... you want it... love?"

"a kiss...is all I want..." he shivered

Cloud leaned over him and turned his head, giving him a deep, passionate kiss.

zack hummed happily as he indulged himself in the kiss. Deepening it while slamming himself back onto clouds length, his breathing becoming labored and rapid. He broke the kiss for a moment. "...god.." he cried out.. moving his hips quicker, while crushing his lips to his lovers yet again

Cloud continued to kiss him, enjoying it, even as he growled, pressing into his ass over and over again.

Crying out he arched his back and came. Tensing up around cloud. He panted against his lovers lips.

Cloud cried out, spilling his load into his lover, enjoying the feel of his lovers orgasm around his length.

Pulling away, zack turned around so he was facing cloud and pulled him close. He kissed him tenderly.

Cloud moaned, enjoying the soft kiss.

"Cloud.." zack whispered as he broke the kiss, he caressed his lovers cheek with the back of his fingers. smiling at him.

Cloud shivered, his length still turned on, even as he pressed close to him.

Still aroused himself, the man just sat back, pulling the younger into his lap. "Ride me.." he whispered

Cloud didn't have to be told. He wrapped his legs around him and settled his ass over his cock, twitching in eagerness.

Bucking up into him, zack grabbed ahold of him pulling him close, holding him as he moved his hips, thrusting up into the blonde.

Cloud's head went back, even as he cried out in pleasure, arching up against him. "Oh... lord!"

"...mmmm..." leaning up zack nipped at clouds throat. sucking on his adams apple. slowing his thrusts.

Cloud wrapped his arms around his neck, his nails finding his back, even as he shifted to rock with him.

gasping he picked up the pace again, moving in and out of the tight passageway rather demandingly. "fu..fuck.." he cried out against clouds throat.

Cloud made loud cries and shouts, even as he moved with him, fingers still trailing over his back. God... it was always... sooo good.

"Cl...cloud." he gasped "mmm"

"Mm... Zack... this is... amazing..."

"it always is..." he whispered. zack grabbed ahold of him and flipped them, so cloud was on his back. he groaned as he began pounding the blonde into the mess of blankets on the floor. "god...you feel so good." he panted into clouds ear

"God... Zack... you're... so... deep... I love it..." he gasped, panting, even as he keened in pleasure with each new thrust.

reaching in between them, he wrapped his fingers around clouds length stroking him, in sync with his thrusts. "do...you?" he panted

"Y... Yes..." Cloud gasped, even as he cried out, feeling himself getting closer and closer to his peak.

taking clouds ear lobe in his mouth, zack sucked on it, and panted heavily. His cock rubbing against the mans prostate with each movement. His breathing became ragged and harsh

Cloud screamed, even as he couldn't hang on any longer. His cock twitched as it spurted, his breath coming in gasps as his ass closed around him.

Swiftly pushing deep into the constricting walls a few more times, zack cried out as he released his seed deep inside the man. His brows were furrowed up in bliss, the expression clearly written across his face. "mmm..."

Cloud trembled around him, even as he gasped. He let his head fall onto his shoulder.

Panting softly, zack unwrapped his fingers from clouds length and brought his soiled hand to his lips, licking it clean.

Cloud trembled, shivering slightly. "Mm... amazing..."

"...down right..juicy." zack murmured thickly. "then again...i could cum from one of your kisses, alone."

Cloud laughed, leaning close. "We'll have to test that sometime," he purred, before kissing him.

"I guess so.."

Cloud laughed. "I don't intend to test it now, you know."

"Mhmmm...I never know with you."

"You look spent love..."

"I came twice," zack murmured "I can go again...after all...it'll get me in shape." he teased. "maybe i can build up my stamina"

cloud laughed. "Cum from just my kiss, huh?" he murmured, even as he pressed a hot kiss to his lips, his tongue flicking out to suckle on his lower lip.

Zack shuddered, moaning hotly as he watched the younger man. Partcipating in the intimate kiss. "uh..huh." he hummed, becoming aroused slowly.

"Then lets see what it does," he whispered, kissing his passionately, his tongue invading his.

Groaning hotly, Zack pulled cloud closer deepening the kiss. his tongue coiled around clouds

Cloud fairly purred, pressing his tongue against his and starting an erotic dance.

Feeling the blood pool down to his cock, he shifted slightly, zack moaned his fingers grasping clouds hair. "ungh.."

Cloud reached up and tangled his own in Zack's, pulling on it slightly, even as he deepened the passionate kiss.

gasping, he raised his hips, panting hotly, he growled playfully, he grasped ahold of clouds tongue sucking on it, he grabbed clouds hand, and placed it on his length, letting him feel how hard he had gotten.

Cloud moaned, stroking over his cock, even as he couldn't help but purr as he deepened the kiss, twining his tongue around his.

removing clouds hand, he entwined his fingers with his lovers groaning deeply into the kiss. he ran his tongue along the blondes teeth. shivering.

Cloud took the one hand in Zack's hair and tugged, trying to deepen the kiss even more.

gasping zack tried to pulled the blonde closer, his tongue practically down his lovers throat.

Cloud pulled on his hair more, even as he didn't mind how deep the kiss was.

grunting zack huffed pinning the blonde down to the floor, his lower body not touching the youngers, and for a good reason, cum was seeping from the slit of his penis. pulling away, he looked down at cloud. saliva dribbling from the corner of his lips, as proof of the intimate kiss.

Cloud raised an eyebrow, even as he was panting. "Mm... seems... you were right. That's one hell... of a kiss..."

Pink tainted his cheeks. He wiped the mess up, smiling a bit. "Mmm, yes it was...mind blowing."

Cloud leaned forward, licking some of it off of his lover. "I like that knowledge."

"Aww.. now you're gonna do it on purpose." he whined playfully. his eyes widened at clouds actions. "eh.. cloud...i drank coffee." he murmured lowly

Cloud winced a little, but still licked up what he could. "I can handle it."

Zack stopped him, and claimed his lips "don't lie." he whispered as he kissed him gently.

Cloud moaned, kissing him back. "I'm not lying."

breaking the kiss he gave a quick peck on the mans lips. He stood up ruffling clouds hair, he stepped around the smaller male. "I'm going to shower, we probably have alot to do today." he said softly. His back to the blonde, sporting alot of scratches on his back from him.

Cloud flushed. "I'll... shower after you. We need clothes... and we should stop in to check on Leon... I'm hoping he's better... and I need to see the police..."

Looking over his shoulder, zack sighed "I hope you dont get mixed up in something that could potentially hurt you." he commented.

Cloud looked at his lover. "Is telling the truth and putting an abusive man behind bars something bad?"

"No, it's a noble concept. However, Remember there are two sides to every story. And even if his tale isn't good, there are people who will side with him. Im sure he has a posse backing him up. Babe, all I am saying is..I think there's more to this than we're thinking."

"No matter what it is... almost killing someone isn't legal! No matter what!"

Zack looked at cloud, sorrow contorting on his face. "It's not right." he said softly. "you're right in that belief. But think about how many people get away scotch clean. Think about all the innocents framed for crimes they haven't commited. I'm just worried cloud." that said he went to the bathroom, sighing, as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"But... I can't... just watch Leon... be beat until I get a call he's been killed. I can't!"

"I'm NOT saying that!" zack called back. 'I'm saying you have got yourself mixed up in a mess where YOU could end up like your EX." the raven haired man started the shower, and hopped into it.

"I'm not that weak, Zack. I've taken self defense classes since I was four."

"You're not listening to me." zack whispered softly as he began washing up.

Cloud looked down. "I'm trying to... really... I've just... never been one to sit by and watch things happen."

"I commend you on that. Im not one to let someone hurt either. I see where you are coming from cloud, but what i am saying is...if you get the main guy behind bars. you're probably going to piss people off. ALOT of people. Didn't you say he was the president of this hotel chain? im worried about you..that's all."

"That's what... Leon said... but... if I don't do anything... he will just keep doing this to Leon."

"I understand that." zack whispered trying to keep himself calm, but unable to, the thought of cloud being beaten to near death or worse, brought tears to his eyes. "i'm going to be awhile...if your in a rush...please...use the other shower." he whispered softly.

Cloud shook his head, sighing softly. "No... I can wait," he murmured, thinking it over.

"Cloud...it's going to be awhile." he repeated. "go help your friend." he whispered "dont start second guessing yourself because of my ranting."

"But... I don't want you to be upset either!" he called.

"I am fine. I'll get over it." zack poked his head out smiling. "see? im fine. now ...you have things to do. so do i." he waved a hand at him motioning for him to run along, perfecting the mask of happiness, not letting cloud even suspect the true feelings.

Cloud shook his head. "I want you with me."

"It's disrespectful to show up at someone's hospital room whom I am not friends with, or do not know..."

"No... but you're with me."

Zack sighed and grabbed ahold of him. "yes, i am." he yanked him into the shower.

Cloud gasped, even as he went willingly with him.

Smiling at him. he gave him a peck on the cheek before going back to washing up

Cloud smiled, watching him. "Mind if I join you?"

"Of course not."

Cloud smiled and moved into the shower with him, pressing close to him.

Zack just smiled at him. "hmm? do you want something?"

"No... I just want to be with you."

"You are with me, for a long time i hope"

zack finished washing up and stepped out of the shower. drying himself off. "I wonder if we'd remind people of two hedgehogs having sex." he mumbled

Cloud chuckled. "Who knows," he replied, washing up and slipping out after turning the water off.

Zack looked at him smiling. he whistled "hot damn... there's a long legged blonde in my shower."

Cloud chuckled. "I guess so..."

"Ok maybe not so much of the long legged comment."

Cloud stuck his tongue out.

"Better put it back in your mouth, or i'll put it to use little boy." he teased

Cloud laughed, even as he wrapped a towel around his waist. "We really do need clothes."

"Yes.. yes we do. We both know what happens if we're not clothed...for 5 minutes around one another.. we end up in a sweaty...sticky mess."

Cloud nodded, even as he shivered at that imagary.

zack snatched clouds towel off of his waist, while the blonde was off in la la land. twisting it he snapped it on the mans behind. "Are you done drooling yet?"

Cloud gasped, nodding. "Yes," he said, moving to dress.

Smirking he followed the blonde looking at his ass as he walked. he licked his lips groaning.

Cloud pulled on his old clothes, looking away.

pulling on his clothes, zack sighed. "Your phone is going off." he murmured

Cloud moved to grab it, flipping it over. "Hello?"

"Finally" Aerith sighed into the phone. "I've only been trying to reach you all day. Tifa and I dropped off your car earlier, also...the cops found Zack's bike. and it's down there with your car. yuffie had a ball riding it. She said it was like a huge viberator..."

cloud twitched. "Let's hope she didn't use it like one. Zack will kill her otherwise."

"Um." the woman laughed nervously. "a girl cant help herself is something is viberating between her legs."

"Sure... I'll let him know though. Thank's Aerith."

"You're welcome, oh...you may want to wait a little bit before going to see leon. we just went to see him. but walked in on...him having sex." she whispered

Cloud paused, blinking. "Should you... have allowed that when he was so hurt?"

"..i..i don't know. he...looked like he was enjoying himself. ...it didn't feel...right to interrupt...them.."

"Who... was he with?" Cloud asked in a whisper.

"Um..no one I recognized. He was handsome. Tall, blonde...really pretty green eyes."

Cloud frowned. "I see."

"Anyways...why did it take so long for you to answer your phone?!"

"I was in the shower."

Aerith sighed. "I see." she whispered "cloud..." she swallowed tears filling her eyes. "I ...am sorry.. for introducing you to zack." her voice waivered.

Cloud blinked, tipping his head. "Why are you sorry?"

"I...fell...for him." she admitted softly

Cloud felt his stomach tighten. "I... I'm sorry, Aerith. I... never planned this..."

"I..it's not your...fault." aerith whispered "I..just...thought he was...interested in..me too...you..know..the smiling...flirting...I guess not..i..mean.. i'm glad..you're happy." she swallowed '"sorry.. i didn't mean to. bring it up.. its not your fault. i'll talk to you later."

Cloud murmured a good bye and hung up. "They found your bike. Its downstairs."

Zack finished pulling his pants up and looked at cloud a wide smile on his face "really...that's GREAT!" he exclaimed excitedly. he stopped and paused taking in clouds facial expression. 'What is it?" he asked softly.

"We won't be needed for Leon... and... well... Aerith said something that startled me."

Leon's better? that's good right?..." he sighed softly "What did she say that startled you?" he asked softly

"I guess... she thought... you liked her... before I came along..."

Zack winced. "I use to." he whispered "when I was younger, after everything ended with sephiroth. I had a couple dates with Aerith...years ago."

"I guess... things would have went better between you two if I wasn't around..."

Zack looked at him in complete shock. "I said when I was younger I dated her. We went our seperate ways, and lost contact. I recently just moved back into the area. before i met you...how was I to know that those feelings were still there for her?"

Cloud blinked, looking up. "Oh, I didn't know that," he murmured, watching him. Even now, the fact Leon had let Seifer back into his life... it was making him off balance.

Sorrow was written on his face. he just turned away. "I'm...going to ...the mall." he said softly.

Cloud snapped out of it, rushing over to him and hugged him. "I'm sorry. I'm just... off balance... I don't know... what's right any more... not after hearing... that Leon was... having sex... with the very man who'd put him... there..." he whispered. Honestly, he didn't dout his lover, he was just uncertain of what could be done.

"Cloud.." he whispered "maybe you should go see your friend, you know..''

"No. If he wants my help, he can call. Otherwise, he can deal with it himself. I can't do this again. I don't know what to believe from him."

Zack looked at him, hugging him back. "It seems I have a certain girl to talk to." he whispered softly.

Cloud blinked. "Oh, go ahead then. I'll just... go get some clothes at the mall across the way."

Blinking, zack sighed. "You confuse me sometimes." he whispered softly. "I love you...you're proof...i truly exist." he opened the door and walked out.

"I love you too," Cloud called back, before moving to grab his card and go get some clothes, for the both of them.

Zack went over to Aeriths, sitting down and talking to her. Not exactly enjoying the conversation since she started crying, every five seconds or so...and would fling herself in his arms. ...much like cloud does. Sighing he held her, a nd let her weep. "I'm not interested in you intimately, but...you are a great friend." he said softly "i hope we can keep our friendship, i dont want to lose it over something...so silly."

Cloud wandered through the mall, picking up clothes for himself and Zack, looking around, finding somethings that he couldn't help but think was perfect for Zack. He even walked past a jewlery shop, wanting to get matching rings, but uncertain they were ready for such things.

Aerith whimpered and nodded. "okay..im sorry if ..i caused problems... i.. just.. i had to say something." she whispered "i'll be alright. you go...im sure he's waiting for you." Letting go of the young woman, zack stood "alright, take it easy..." he said softly. before leaving. feeling somewhat awkward. he got on his bike and went to the mall. He went in wandering around he spotted cloud, watching him pause at the jewlery shop, then walk away. Curiously, he walked into the store, looking at the rings. Looking at the enterance occasionally to make sure his lover didn't spot him in there looking around.

Cloud stopped in a leather store, getting something special for his lover.

"Hmmm" zack smiled as he spotting a matching white gold ring set. He looked up at the clerk. "Could I substitute the females ring for another band suitable for a man?" he asked. "Would I be able to get them at the same price?"

The elder woman smiled at him "certaintly, do you know what sizes you'll need?" zack frowned "um..." he looked over at another employee 'his...fingers are as slender as his...in fact close to the same size...so..whatever size his are.. and the other one.. i'll need in an 8."

Cloud got the item wrapped and then headed on for some other places, getting some suitcases before moving to head back over to the hotel, arms full of bags.

After he bought the rings, zack walked out of the mall in hopes that he'd beat his lover back to the hotel.

Cloud came home, his lips curled in a smile as he opened the door and walked in.

Zack ran in only moments after him "aww man..."

Cloud looked over at him. "What's the matter love?"

"Nothing.. nothing at all. that's.. quite a bit of stuff."

"I got clothes for you too. And a present."

"Ooh show me my present." he murmured excitedly. 'I'll show you yours."

Cloud blinked. "I didn't know you had one for me," he replied. He then moved to open a bag and drew out a rather large box, that was closed with ribbon.

zack blinked he pulled the ribbon off of the box and opened it, taking his present out.

It was a leather jacket that Zack had been talking about. One that would be good for when he was on his motorcyle.

Zack's mouth dropped open. "there's.." he set the jacket down and pulled him close holding him tightly. "thank you." he said softly. while he was holding him there. he kissed his lovers neck "mmm thank you so much." he whispered huskily. he slid his hand into his pocket discreetly pulling the ring out, keeping the smaller preoccupied. he slid the ring, on his lovers left hand ring finger.

Cloud shivered, enjoying the feel of his lips on his neck. "I'm glad you like it." Yet he soon felt a weight on his hand and he looked down, gasping in surprise. "Oh... Zack!"

He smiled at him. "...You like it?" he teased

Cloud nodded, sniffling softly. "Yes."

'Good." he whispered "i'm glad." he kissed him gently. "I think we're ready...dont you?" he asked softly. handing cloud the rings mate.

Cloud looked at it, even as he moved to slip the ring onto Zack's finger.

Zack smiled warmly at him. "Everything's alright now...isn't it?"

Cloud nodded. "Yes. I got you other clothes too."

Zack smirked "mmhmm. i see that." he looked at all the bags. "you...like shopping?"

"Well, I figured we needed clothes... since we lost everything in the fire."

He laughed 'Im teasing you. cloud... i just feel bad that i couldn't be there to carry your bags."

Cloud laughed. "I'm not a weakling, love."

Zack smiled "I'm not saying that." he chided "I just think it's proper for a gentleman to carry the ladies bags." he teased. tying the ribbon in clouds hair.

Cloud laughed. "I'm not the only bottom in this relationship."

"Yes, but i probably wont look as cute as you with a ribbon in my hair."

Cloud flushed. "You're the only one who's gonna see it."

taking the ribbon out zack smiled and pulled cloud close. "Am I embarassing you?" he asked softly.

"Just a little," he admitted.

"Sorry."

"Its all right, really."

"Perhaps sometimes..so.. what would you llike to do tonight?" he asked

"Maybe... a date?" Cloud asked, watching him.

Zack smiled "but where would you like to go?" he asked softly. "the theater? to the beach?" he licked clouds cheek "one of those love hotels." he teased

"We already have a hotel room," Cloud replied. "Although I wouldn't mind a nice romantic dinner."

zack blinked "i forgot we live in a hotel." he murmured "i was referring to one of those...hotels with mirrors everywhere so you can watch us doing the deed" he wiggled his eyebrows. "the romantic dinner sounds better...but..where? here? a little candlelight dinner...or do you want to go out."

"Go out. That would be nice... and perhaps one with blind-folds and handcuffs?" he murmured.

"Ok. whoa WHAT? you'd really want to go to one of those places...and...have handcuffs and blindfolds. ...blindfolds kind of defeat the purpose..but.." he just looked at cloud in wonder.

"Blindfolds increase the pleasure... because you can't see what's coming."

"Ok...I take it you want to use them on me?" zack murmured

"Actually... I was hoping you'd use them on me."

"Oh."

"Would you rather it be for you?"

Zack smiled at him "We can both have them used on us. It's just...i was KIDDING...about a love hotel, i mean if..you really want to go...we can..they probably record the whole thing and jack off while watching..it."

"Or... we can wait... and then get some for our new bedroom once the bar is rebuilt."

Zack looked perplexed. '...we're going out. pick something to wear." he murmured softly

Cloud nodded and handed Zack a back from one of the nicer stores for clothing, before moving to get his own bag from there.

Zack rummaged through the bag, picking out the clothing he liked most. he changed out of his old clothing. into the nicer clothes. blinking as he slid into the jeans. "god..you must like real tight fitting jeans on your men." he commented,

"You look hot in them, Zack," Cloud replied, even as he pulled on his own tight jeans and a rather stunning silk top of a dark blue color.

Zack turned around "my dick is suffocated." he whispered pointing at the outline of his cock. He shuddered when he took in the sight of his lover

"I got you loser ones if you don't like them," Cloud replied.

"I like them, but with us going out do you really think they are suitable...especially when they..kind of show off.." he looked embarassed. and turned his back to cloud. He grabbed the nice tight fitting black shirt. Humming slightly as he bent over to grab his shoes.

Cloud didn't even pretend not to look him over. "Mm... I like them... and people can look all they want... but I belong to you alone."

Straightening himself, zack blinked "Mmm..." he murred "i think they'll be checking your little ass out too." he murmured he walked up0 behind cloud and pulled him close. "you look good."

Cloud moaned, pressing close to him. "You look good as well."

"Mmm..I always have." he teased pulling back he grabbed the leather jacket. "we're taking my bike."

"I'd love that," Cloud replied, even as he turned to kiss his lover.

Zack kissed him groaning softly. "mmmm"

"Or we could stay in... and have a private dinner for two... and I can show you something I've always wanted to try..."

"..What's that?" he whispered

"Its... embarrassing... to talk about... and if you don't like it... you'll have to tell me."

Zack set his jacket down and just looked at him. "I'm up for anything..." he murmured softly "so.. i take it we are staying in."

Cloud nodded, even as he picked up the menu for the resturant in the hotel. "I think so... just tonight... We can do something else tomorrow."

Zack nodded and sat down. "Let me pay for dinner." he said softly.

"If you'd like, love. I won't stop you."

"Good, pick whatever you'd like without worrying about price...i know you did last time.' he took his shoes off and laid on the bed.

Cloud nodded, even as he couldn't help but smile. "All right."

Zack just smiled relaxing.

Cloud picked up a bag from among those for himself, smiling. "I love you," he whispered. "I'd like the steak and chicken with Jack Daniel's BBQ Sauce."

Zack nodded he gently took the menu looking it over and sighed. He picked up the phone ordering clouds meal and a salad along with smoke mackeral.

he set the phone down and raised an eyebrow 'I love you too...what are you up to?"

Cloud moved into the bathroom to change, speaking through the door. "Doing something that I've been told would be a turn on for my boyfriend," he murmured.

zack looked a little skeptical.. "um...okay."

Cloud came out after a moment, wearing a slinky piece of lengurie... the lace barely hiding his body from his lover. While it was made for women, it seemed perfect for his body. Even the garter belt that held up stalkings and high heels. If Zack hated it, he'd never do it again... but at least he had to try.

Zack's eyes widened then closed. he got up and gently walked over to him he picked him up and carried him over to the bed, removing the items off of him, in a hurry. "who told you that's a turn on?" he asked

"A... A lady... at the store... is it... a bad choice?" he asked, a soft pout on his lips.

Zack grabbed clouds hands and looked at him, not wanting to hurt the blondes feelings "i..i..am..i.." he cursed "I'm not into that." he finally managed to say. he pulled away and picked the articles up putting them into a bag.

Cloud gave him a soft smile. "All right. Then I know not to try it again."

"sorry.." he whispered

Cloud shrugged. "Don't be. Everyone has different things they like."

"I just..." he stopped and went out onto the balcony, jumping up on the railing sitting down on it as he looked around.

Cloud moved and pulled on a robe, even as he moved to join him. "Zack, you don't have to be upset. We'll find what works..."

Zack looked at him smiling "I'm not really upset. i just wish you would've asked me first.. before you spent money on them. was all i was going to say, but i realized you could just give them to the girls and let them fight over it. You really dont have to do much to arouse me...and you know that. " he chuckled "your trying to get all kinky and spicen things up...it's refreshing...but at the same time. i wonder...if im it's really that...dull."

Cloud shook his head. "That wasn't it. I wasn't trying to do it because things were dull." Cloud looked down, bitting his lower lip. "I never really, took the lead and tried to learn what was good and what wasn't in my sex life. I was curious. That's all. The tags are still on them... so I can take them back tomorrow. Well, all but the underwear."

zack smiled "Okay, well. You do an awesome job at taking the lead." he said softly. "the clothes did look cute on you, you looked like a scared little girl. if women were my thing i'd totally have done you then and there."

"someday... I'd like to try wearing a dress... but I think I'll keep that as something that stays in my head."

Zack looked at him. "You..enjoy cross dressing?" he asked while looking at him

Cloud flushed. "Well... my mom used to dress me in dresses as I was growing up... so I got used to it."

Zack smiled "If it's part of you, i can get use to it..." he whispered "i dont enjoy trying to change someone...into someone their not."

Cloud shook his head. "I wouldn't do it all the time," Cloud answered, looking down.

"Cloud...really it's ok,...it's something...new."

Cloud gave him a soft smile. "Maybe its best it's not constant. The girls would give me hell for it."

"Because your prettier than them?"

Cloud flushed at that. "No... because I'm pretending to be something I'm not."

"They...dont have to know." he murmured softly. "there's alot i dont know about you and as i said i can grow accustomed to your...ways. ''

Cloud frowned. "That... just makes me... feel odd with you have to get accustomed to something you obviously didn't like when I first tried it."

"Then you told me you were raised like that." he whispered "do you realize it makes me feel like shit? i've never had someone cross dress for me cloud it's new to me." he just shook his head looking up at the sky

"I've never told anyone about what went on back then... everyone thought... I had a sister... who died... when my mother did."

Zack just looked at him sadly. "I'm sorry..." he whispered softly.

Cloud shrugged. "No need to. I... trust you enough... to tell you."

"Im sorry.. about the loss of your mother...and everything." he looked up and sighed before looking back at the blonde.

Cloud moved over and wrapped his arms around his neck. "Well, that happens love," he murmured, kissing his shoulder.

zack shivered "yes.. i am well aware...of that." he said softly "I wonder if our dinner is done yet." he said changing the topic

He laughed softly. "It should be soon. We'll hear the door when they..." he trailed off as a knock sounded. "Speak of the devil," he murmured, even as he kissed his lover on the cheek and moved back to go get the door. He brought in their dinner and smiled. "Food's here."

Zack smiled and motioned for cloud to follow him, he took his food outside, he grabbed a couple chairs going out there. "It's so nice, i'd rather eat out here than be inside.. it sounds so peaceful too." he whispered "the sound of the ocean,"

Cloud nodded and brought his own meal out there, smiling as he sat as close to Zack as he could manage.

Zack looked at him, smiling, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears from the conversation they had held only moments before. "mm. that smells really delicous. here" he leaned close "gimme a bite."

Cloud easily cut a piece and dipped it in the sauce, holding it out to him, even as his free hand reached out to stroke his cheek. "I love you Zack... I hope that no matter what happens, you remember that."

Zack took the piece of steak into his mouth groaning as he savored the taste, he tilted his face into cloud's hand, enjoying the mans gently touch. When he was done chewing he leaned close pressing his lips against his lovers' "I love you too." he said softly. "It's not something i'm about to forget."

Cloud smiled. "Good."

Eating his dinner, zack looked out at the horizon, a calm peaceful expression on his face. "It's hard to believe we have quite a bit of work ahead of us."

Cloud nodded. "I'm looking into contractors for the bar. And the insurance covers most of the rebuild."

"The insurance company must have contacted my bank, and put the money from the totaled Infinity, in my account. So at least now I know I have some money to get another vehicle to get us to and from when weather won't permit the use of the harley."

"We have my car, remember? Tifa brought it over earlier, with your bike."

Zack smiled "Yes. I remember." his eyes twinkled "but I miss my Infinity..you remember all the nice controls..including the massage mode."

Cloud smiled. "All right, I guess mine isn't good enough," he murmured. He'd gotten one as a present... but almost never drove the thing. He just didn't like to drive.

Zack hummed "well..." he looked at his lover "I like pretty things, sure..I guess I could take it to get a tune up and everything...making it mine since you wont even put your butt in the drivers' seat...Do you not know how to drive?"

Cloud nodded. "Yes. I even have my license... but I just... don't really like to drive if I can avoid it."

"Are you scared?" he asked softly.

Cloud bit his lower lip. "I don't think so. I just... don't like... it."

Zack nodded "Okay, then we'll just have to have you sign it over to me. I'll put it under my insurance plan with my bike... but, i'm gonna have to get under there and look at it to see if it'll need anything."

"It hasn't been driven very much... but I kept it up."

"Okay. I guess i'll just paint it hot pink with a unicorn on the hood."

Cloud felt his nose wrinkle at that, turning to eat silently.

"Kidding." he murmured going back to eating.

Cloud sighed, shaking his head, even as he laughed softly. "Odd joke."

Zack shrugged "I'm comfortable in my own skin. I know I really could drive a car that was hot pink with a unicorn and not feel flamboyantly gay."

Cloud smiled, even as he planed to get himself a dress tomorrow, since he had some clothing now that looked very feminine. He wouldn't feel so odd... and that way, Zack could play with the car while he did this.

Zack looked at him then looked away. Things were racing through his mind, he sighed softly. Part of him wondered if Leon was aware of Cloud's ...crossdressing.

Cloud watched his lover. "something the matter."

"Hmm...no." he smiled "i'm just thinking about what color would look nice, on the car and go well with the interior"

"The interior is a gray blue... the color outside is a dark gray. So I guess you'd have to look at it and figure it out."

"Mm..i guess so." zack smiled at him and gently reached out...touching his face.

Cloud sighed, leaning into his touch. "No one else knows, you know," Cloud whispered.

Zack tensed "I'm not going to tell anyone..." he lowered his gaze

Cloud flushed. "I didn't think you would. I just... wanted... to let you know."

"I...just..don't understand it." he whispered "Do you feel more...attractive in women's clothing?"he asked

Cloud thought about it, before shaking his head. "No, that isn't it... its more... that I just... feel comfortable... in them. Its hard to explain."

"I know a little bit about it. Isn't it...like your...a woman trapped in a mans body or something? Is that what it feels like?"

Cloud shrugged. 'I don't know if its quite that detailed... but I guess close enough."

"Then why not get a sex change? you can dress how you want...without hiding it.."

Cloud shook his head. "I like being a male."

That comment stumped him. He raised his gaze lookinig beyond confused. "...okay.." he whispered

Cloud sighed, closing his eyes. "I knew it... it really is too hard to understand."

"At the moment...yes. But...I also have never been around it. I'm trying to understand it cloud...are you finished?"

Cloud nodded. "Yes. And I like being a male... I know that. But... I just... like women's clothing. I guess... I'd be called a drag queen... at most."

"Okay." zack stood and took his plate as well as clouds into the room. setting them on the tray he wheeled it back into the hallway. He then took off his shirt, folding it and putting it back into the bag, before walking back out onto the balcony. he ruffled clouds hair. "That's fine," he said softly. "like i said, i'd rather you be yourself than show me someone your not."

Cloud flushed. "Thats why I just settle for tight clothes..."

"They look good...on you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." he whispered softly.

Cloud cuddled close, kissing him softly.

zack kissed him back softly, gently caressing clouds cheek as he did so.

Cloud moaned, even as he pressed close to his lover, enjoying the caress to his cheek.

Pulling away slightly. Zack looked at him smiling.

Cloud smiled back at him.

He walked over to the railing, leaning against it.

Cloud moved to stand beside him, one arm around his waist.

Zack sighed heavily and wrapped an arm around clouds' shoulders. "I love you." he whispered softly,he pressed his lips against the mans temple kissing it. "you mean alot to me."

Cloud smiled, kissing him back. "I love you too... you mean a lot to me as well."

Groaning, he indulged himself in the kiss. "mmm."

"Mm..." cloud murmured in return, enjoying the closeness just a kiss brought.

Moving back some, zack sunk down to his knees, untying the sash of clouds robe, letting it open. he smiled up at him, wiggling his eyebrows at the man before leaning close running his tongue underneath his lovers cock. "I got a sudden craving for something sweet." he murmured huskily.
