Chapter 10

Cloud peered through the small window on the door, wondering if this was the right room. Finally, he decided it was and entered, immediately looking around. A few kids were already inside, seated in the back of the class.

Being the good student he was, Cloud had showed up about 5 minutes early to detention. He scanned the room and picked out a seat that he liked - in the back let corner of the room, as far away as possible from the teachers desk. As he made his way to the seat he wondered to himself who the teacher watching the class was going to be. The fact that there were only about 3 other students in the whole class had him thinking that maybe this detention wouldn't be too bad. Maybe even enjoyable once Tifa showed up.

But all of those thoughts went to hell when Cloud laid eyes on the next person who walked in.

"This isn't a hard job! Just get 'em and meet me out back afterward for the exchange. I promise nothing will go wrong if you just trust m-" Reno stopped dead in his tracks when his eyes landed on Cloud, a grin forming on his lips. "Yeah, yeah, I've gotta go. I'll talk to ya later." With that he flipped the phone shut. "Well, well, look who it is! Look Rude!" The ginger stepped to the side to reveal a taller man standing behind him. Rude.

Now Rude wasn't that bad of a guy- not nearly as bad as the disgusting red-head- but Cloud couldn't help but feel a little intimidated in his presence. With his huge height and those dark glasses covering his eyes, you couldn't help but get the creeps around him. His short, black hair was already to starting to bald on his head and his extremely low voice made everyone question his actual age. Besides his friendship with Reno, he wasn't too bad of a guy.

"It's blondie!" Reno's grin widened as he strolled over to the blonde. Cloud's glare didn't seem to effect him as he continued walking towards him, a mischievous smile plastered on his face. Rude followed silently and when the red-head sat down, he sat directly behind him. Unfortunately, he sat down right next to Cloud.

"No." Cloud started to stand up but was interrupted when the door to the class flew open and in walked Cid Highwind.

"Great," Thought Cloud. "This is gonna be the teacher?" Cid Highwind was the a so-called teacher who taught Mechanics in their school. He always reeked of cigarets and alcohol, making him all the more unappealing. Not to mention he cursed like a sailor.

"Sit yer ass down boy!" Cid walked in and immediately pointed to Cloud. The blonde reluctantly sat down, not daring to look at Reno. Cid walked over to the desk in the front of the room and sat down, trying to get comfortable in the big chair. Reno took this as his opportunity to lean over the side of his desk, getting as close to the pouting blonde as he could.

"Hey spiky, didn't expect to see you here." Cloud could see the small smirk on the red-head's lips out of the corner of his eye. "How'd you get in trouble anyways? Someone catch you jerking-off in the bathroom?" His jaw clenched making the ginger chuckle quietly. "Better yet, someone find you and that babe banging in the bathroom?" Cloud's face flushed and he looked away. Seeing his reaction, Reno smirked and continued.

"Speaking of that, where is that hottie?"

"Shut up," Cloud muttered under his breath, not daring to look over at the annoying ginger.

"I know she's supposed to be here. After all, both of your names were called over the loudspeaker." When the blonde refused to look over at him, Reno pressed on, still not satisfied with the reaction he was getting. "Fine, if you're not gonna do anything than I will. What's her number Cloudy boy?" A wicked grin crossed his face as he whipped out his cell phone. "I'm sure she takes booty calls."

That was it. Cloud turned to Reno, practically fuming. "Shut the fu-"

"Hey! Watch yer language boy! No need to be screamin' like tha-" But Cid was interrupted when the door to the room suddenly swung open.

All eyes immediately shot to the door as they waited for the person to enter. No one was disappointed when they saw who it was.

Tifa strut in and the class instantly became silent. Wearing what she had been earlier today, she still looked sexy as hell and Cloud couldn't help but grin when he saw her. She took a few steps into the room before stopping and looking around.

A low whistle sound and everyone's attention was drawn to the ginger. "Wow babe, I like the outfit. Although I'd prefer to see it off." Reno shot her a toothy grin. His arm was draped over the chair behind him, hanging loosely as he eyed the sexy brunette from head to toe.

Cloud whipped his head around to glare at the red-head. "You're disgusting." Shooting daggers at Reno didn't seem to phase him as his grin only spread wider when he heard these words.

He threw his head back and laughed quietly before looking back at Cloud. "Oh, don't pretend you weren't thinkin' the same thing blondie." He opened his mouth to say more but Cid cut him off.

"Shut up boy." He gave Reno a stern look. "And you," He pointed at Tifa, giving her the same look. "Sit down."

"Anywhere?"

"Sure, what the hell? Just don't be interruptin' this class no more, hear me?" She nodded at him before directing her attention back to the class in front of her. She scanned the room until finally spotting what she was looking for. Her ruby eyes instantly lit up as they met with cerulean.

Eyes locked on Cloud, she made her way over to him, giving him a small wink as she did. His mouth was slightly agape as he grinned back at her, mesmerized by her beauty. A loud exhale came from somewhere to the right of him and he turned his eyes to meet with Reno. He was staring at Tifa, licking his lips in a way that made Cloud's blood boil. Noticing that the blonde's eyes were locked on him, he mischievously brought two fingers to his mouth, spread them apart and stuck his tongue through them.

As Reno continued to lap disgustingly, a low growl erupted from somewhere in Cloud's chest. He was just about to reach over and rip those stupid red spikes right off of the ginger's head when a soft hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"Don't let him get to you. I came here for you." Tifa's mouth was right next to his ear as she whispered this, blowing hot air against his skin. Her tongue ran lazily down the edge of his ear, almost making him moan out loud. When she stood up and walked to sit down directly behind him, Cloud immediately missed feeling her hot mouth next to his ear.

His eyes were still locked on Reno and he watched with pleasure as the red-head's mischievous attitude instantly dropped after observing this. Cloud almost grinned when the ginger's eyes squinted and his mouth turned to a frown upon watching Tifa run her hand seductively through his blonde spikes before completely sitting down.

Reno grunted and looked away, blowing a red spike out of his eyes. While the huffing ginger was throwing a small hissy fit, Rude continued to stare at Tifa.

"Hey Tifa." The tall man sounded nervous.

"Hi Rude." The brunette looked at him, shooting a dazzling smile his way. His glasses slipped down to reveal his eyes, wide and lovestruck and for the first time Cloud thought he saw the smallest hint of a smile form on his lips. Everyone knew that Rude had a huge crush on Tifa so it was no surprise when he continued to stare at her for a while longer until Cid's voice finally snapped him out of his daze.

"Alright children, listen up!" Rude pushed his glasses back up and looked away quickly, trying to hide the light blush that had settled over his face. Damn, even though Cloud had seen a lot more of Tifa than he had, the blonde still acted like Rude, all flustered and stuff every time he laid eyes on the gorgeous brunette. But how could you blame him? What wasn't to stare at?

"The first rule is there's no talking! I don't wanna hear one word from any of ya! Hear me?" Only half of the class nodded but Cid barely noticed. "Also, no gettin' up unless I tell ya it's ok. Good?" He didn't even wait for an answer before continuing. "And finally, keep your hands to yourself. Got it?" Cloud nodded and heard Tifa laugh almost silently behind him. Cid scanned the room once more, giving each and every kid a stern look. "Good. Now do some homework or somethin'. Just don't be botherin' me while I'm tryin' to work." With that he leaned back in his chair and pulled out a magazine.

Seeing that he was in the clear, Cloud slouched back against his seat, relaxing his shoulders and closing his eyes. It had only been a few seconds before he heard the sound of something falling onto the desk in front of him. Lazily opening his eyes, the blonde looked down to find a piece of paper resting in the center of his desk. He glanced up at Cid before reaching down and picking up the small slip.

It was folded up and as Cloud cautiously opened it he instantly recognized the blue pen and familiar handwriting.

"Don't follow me." Just as the blonde was trying to figure out what that meant, Tifa suddenly stood up behind him.

Cid raised his eyes from the magazine. "The hell you think you're doin'? Didn't I tell ya to stay seated?"

"Yes, but I have to use the restroom. May I?" Goddamn, she could sound so innocent at times and so naughty at others.

Cid's brows furrowed. "Fine. Just hurry up." He let out a sigh before getting back to his magazine. Cloud watched as Tifa walked past him and to the door. As soon as she had disappeared, Reno leaned over, getting right in the blonde's ear.

"Aren't you gonna follow her?" Cloud was tempted to shove the note in the ginger's face, but decided not to as that would probably only provoke him further. Instead, he kept his eyes trained straight ahead, locked on the door. "Come on blondie... I bet she's in there waitin' for ya, those big, long legs already spread for ya." Fists balled and teeth clenched, Cloud still didn't give in to the persistent red-head. "No? Fine, if you're not gonna go, I will. I'll bang her good and hard." Reno leaned even closer to the blonde, a wide smirk on his face. "Just how she likes it."

A growl escaped from Cloud's clenched teeth and he turned to the smirking ginger with fury in his eyes but the door opened quietly, stopping the blonde from doing anything stupid. Again.

"Why does this always happen?" Cloud thought, a little irritated at the bad timing. But all thoughts fled from his mind when Tifa walked in, brushed past him and slyly dropped something into his lap. As he slowly looked down to his lap and examined the mysterious object, his brows furrowed. But everything became crystal clear when he reached down and grabbed it, instantly feeling how silky it was. Black and lacy, Cloud soon discovered what it was. Tifa's panties. In his lap. Not on her body. His pants tightened at this realization and he suppressed a groan.

"Oops, I must've dropped those." Tifa's whisper was barely audible, her small chuckle sending a shiver down his spine as she retreated back into her seat. Cloud glanced over at Reno and found him staring wide-eyed at the small, back object in his lap. Rude was doing the same. When the ginger's eyes met with Cloud's he shot him an evil glare before stealthy flicking him off. Cerulean eyes narrowed to slits when he saw this but a hand on his back helped to relax him.

Reno's eyes flicked to the hand massaging Cloud's back and he grunted, obviously jealous of all the attention the blonde was getting. A small chuckle came from behind him and Cloud pictured Tifa's sexy smirk as she continued to rub his back and neck. She knew how much this was irritating the already angry red-head and soon her hand was on Cloud's neck, slipping smoothly into his hair.

His breathing began to speed up and just as it was getting good, a loud 'snap' had Cloud sitting up and Tifa's hand retreating from his blonde spikes. Everyone straightened up and directed their attention to the front of the room where Cid was sitting impatiently. He squirmed around in his seat before looking up at the class, a bored look on his face.

"So..." He trailed off and scanned the room. "I finished all my work and now I've got nothin' to do." Cloud looked at the magazine lying on his desk. Yeah, he sure finished all of his work. "So I was thinkin' maybe we could wrap this up a lil' early." Cid pushed away from his desk and stood up. "I'm goin' home but don't you tell anybody I let ya get out early, alright? I don't wanna have to do this again anytime soon so just be keepin' yer mouths shut." He looked around the room once more before heading for the door. And then just like that, he was gone.

Cloud looked around, puzzled by what the heck just happened. A few kids were still asleep and he was tempted to wake them up but decided not to. Instead, he turned around to look at Tifa, someone he had been desperately missing for most of detention. She smiled at him and he grinned back. But when she opened her mouth to speak, a loud, obnoxious voice interrupted her.

"Hey babe." Tifa turned her eyes to Reno. He once again had a wide smirk on his face. "Whaddaya say you come home with me? I've missed you ya know." He wiggled his eyebrows at her but her face remained annoyed and unamused.

"Hey babe, the only person I'm going home with tonight will be this guy." Tifa suddenly stood up and before Cloud knew what was happening she was leaning over the side of his desk, her lips pressed firmly against his. Knowing that Reno's eyes were probably still locked on them, Cloud pulled Tifa down into his lap. She smiled against his lips and wrapped her hands around his neck to deepen the kiss. When they finally broke apart, they were both breathing heavily, making the ginger all the more irritated.

"Get a room." Reno ran a hand through his hair, putting on his best disgusted face even though he was clearly jealous.

"Oh we will." Cloud smirked at the ginger. "But before we go," He paused and reached into his back pocket, pulling out something black and silky. Leaning forward, he dropped the object into Reno's lap and grinned. "You can keep this as a souvenir." The red-head's face flushed a million different shades of red as he stared at the brunette's black panties in his lap, not daring to touch them. He'd do that later.

Tifa smirked upon seeing his face. "I won't be needing them tonight anyways." With that she turned around and grinned at Cloud. "C'mon, let's go home. Together." His heart jumped at that word. Together. He still got excited every damn time!

The sexy brunette grabbed the waistband of his baggy jeans and led him out of the classroom. Before completely exiting the room, Cloud threw one more glance over his shoulder and spotted Reno still seated, his face redder than a beat from anger or embarrassment, Cloud didn't know. And honestly, he didn't care. He had better things to think about.

Author's note: Sorry if this chapter was kinda stupid, I haven't had much time to write recently. Tell me if you guys want the next chapter to be when these two go home together, cause I'm contemplating whether or not to do that. Also tell me if there's any mistakes in this one, it was kinda rushed. Sorry for them in advance. Thanks for reading and reviewing! This story is (almost) coming to a close! Just a few more chapters!
