Warning! Smut ahead! (Unbelievable this hasn't been banned? Flagged? I dunno how this site works DX This fic should really be NC-17… Please don't tell anyone!)
In an instant, all of those sensations came to a nauseating halt.
Roxas felt his stomach flip itself over and didn't realize his fear response had made him freeze until he heard Axel shouting in pain from being kicked in the ribs.
"Stop!" Roxas jumped up in front of his brother, who was ready to crush Axel's ribs with another kick from his heavy steel-toed boots. "Cloud, please, stop!"
In the momentary distraction, Axel stood up wincing from the pain in his side.
"Why should I? That's what a piece of shit like him deserves. He touched you… He was going to–"
"Have sex with me? Yeah, Cloud! He's my boyfriend! That's what people do isn't it? We've done it… over and over, right in this very spot!"
Axel all but fainted at the confession; he thought he was as good as dead.
It was all Cloud needed to hear to fuel his rage once more, "You touched my brother… you took his innocence and raped him you cradle-robbing piece of shit!"
Roxas came between his brother and his boyfriend once again.
"Cradle-robber? Spiky, your brother is hardly a child anymore, much less a baby."
"Get out of my way, Roxas!"
"Cloud! You don't know anything about me… If you weren't always so caught up in your own life, you would know! You'd know Axel didn't do this to me… He wasn't my first…"
Cloud felt his heart sink. The past was catching up with the present and repeating itself all over again. In a split second he thought of Zack and Sephiroth, and how he'd been unable to help his friend back then. Then, the more recent events, Kadaj– and what happened to Sora. Right under his nose, and he'd been helpless then, too. No matter how hard he tried to protect the ones he loved, something always went wrong.
"Fuck! What the hell's that supposed to mean?"
"Cloud–"
"No, Roxas… I'll listen to whatever you have to tell me in due time, but this man has been taking advantage of you, no matter what you say."
"That's right… Just keep on ignoring what he has to say..."
"You shut your mouth. Roxas… you wanna talk? Come home with me and we'll talk…"
Roxas shook his head, "There's nothing to talk about, Cloud… He's my boyfriend and I love him. We have sex just like everyone else to express it. Just like you did when you were a teenager."
"He's got you there, Spiky."
"Fuck you! You're a fucking grown ass man taking advantage of a thirteen-year-old you lying shit! I could toss you off this building."
"Go ahead, see if that makes it any better for Roxas."
"Cloud… your threats aren't gonna make me change my mind."
"Don't be stupid Roxas… Do you really see a relationship with him going anywhere?"
Roxas seemed uncertain glancing back at Axel before turning back to answer his brother.
"I– I dunno… But… how does anyone know that for sure?"
"Look, you don't have to answer anything in front of him…We can talk about it when we get home."
"There isn't anything more to talk about. I've already told you how I feel about him… Nothing else matters now."
Cloud was at his wit's end and at a total loss on how to handle his brother's incredibly stubborn position. Frustrated, he made a rash decision in a final attempt to sway his brother.
"You're sure that's how you really feel, Roxas?" the blonde asked, carefully.
"Yes," Roxas beamed, hoping this meant Cloud was finally coming to his senses.
"Fine… don't come home. Ever. Since you think you can handle a relationship with a man ten years your senior, why don't you just go live with him? He can be your guardian and boyfriend all at once, how about that?"
Axel wouldn't keep quiet upon hearing the implication.
"What? Cloud, you can't just dump him on me like that… You're still his family and he still loves you."
"He's clearly chosen you over his family." Cloud was mentally screaming for Roxas to prove him wrong.
The teen stood still, staring bitterly at his older brother, trying his hardest to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes.
"You're really renouncing your guardianship over me?" he managed to utter out in his state of disbelief.
"If you don't care that I'm only trying to look out for your own good, then that's how it's going to be, Roxas." Cloud averted his gaze when it became too much for him to bear to look at his brother's hurt expression.
"Why? Why can't you just accept us being together?"
Cloud turned, beginning to walk away with the immense hope that his brother would follow, but there were no footsteps that followed.

A moment after watching his brother leave, Roxas broke down, collapsing into Axel's embrace. "I knew they'd never understand… That's why I wanted to keep it a secret… Fucking Sora… he must have told… He had to go and open his big stupid mouth," the teen said in between soft sobs.
"Roxas… You can still catch your brother if you go after him. I'm not worth losing your family over."
Roxas looked up from their embrace into Axel's emerald eyes. "Axel… do you love me?"
Axel broke eye contact with the teen for a moment before responding.
"Yeah, of course I do… But… Roxas… Are you really sure you can say you love me? There's still a lot you don't know about me."
Roxas loosened his grip around Axel's waist. "Was Cloud right about you?"
"No, not at all… I just mean, you can't blindly jump into something… Especially at such high cost. You might not like what you find…"
"What about having sex with you, we both jumped right into that… We can fuck like rabbits, but we have to proceed with caution when it comes to having a real relationship?"
"Well… yeah… That's actually a great way of putting it… But that's not to say our sexual relationship is purely physical. Because it isn't…"
"Then what? What's more to know? Is there something so terrible about you that would make you think I wouldn't still love you?"
Axel sighed, hesitant to answer. "No… You're right."
Relief washed over the teen, as it was evident to Axel. Even with reddened eyes and tear-stained cheeks, Roxas smiled brightly up at his boyfriend. He hugged him tightly once again.
"I know I'm not making a mistake, Axel… Take me home with you."
"Alright… But first, we're gonna have to go on a shopping spree for you.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Aw, I wanted dad to tuck me in today," Denzel whined as he got under his covers for bed.
Squall picked up some random toys strewn about his son's room, putting them back where they belonged. "What's wrong with having me tuck you in?"
"You always tuck me in… Dad's always busy doing something else."
"Sorry Denz. Your dad's a busy guy sometimes. I'll tell you what, you can stay up a little late tonight and wait for him as long as you stay in bed. Just this once. He'll be home soon."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. You have to try not to fall asleep."
"I won't, I'll try really hard!"
"Okay, then. I'll be back to check on you in a bit."
"'kay, daddy."
Squall left his son's room, knowing the little boy would fall right to sleep in a matter of minutes. He checked his phone for any new messages from Cloud.
"Nothing…"
The last he had heard from the blonde was that he'd confronted Axel and Roxas, but it had not gone well. Squall wished he knew what that meant, but the blonde wouldn't elaborate much more. He only told him he needed some time alone to vent.
"Squall…"
The brunet was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of Sora's voice.
"Hn?"
"Any news from Cloud?"
"Not since the last time I talked to him."
"Ohh… Do you think, maybe it would have been better if I never said anything…"
Squall looked down on the smaller brunet contemplating how he should respond. "Sora… you did what you thought was right… That's all that matters now. There's no point in having regrets."
"That's just it… I thought it was the right thing to do, but I'm afraid I may have caused more trouble than what it was worth."
"Well, we don't know that for sure until Cloud comes back."
"Yes we do… You heard him… Roxas isn't coming home…"
"He will… maybe not tonight… but he will, Sora. I promise. None of this is your fault, okay?"
Sora nodded, although he didn't wholeheartedly agree. He decided to turn in early, and bid the older brunet a good night.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Don't light it…"
Squall took the unlit cigarette out from between his lips, silently startled by Cloud's quiet approach.
"You made it," the brunet said, genuinely surprised Cloud showed up sooner than he expected.
Cloud nodded, taking the lighter from his boyfriend's hand. "You know I hate that you do this," he said as he led the way back inside their house.
Squall caught the faintest whiff of alcohol on the blonde as they walked inside the house.
"All this time, I've been worrying about you and you were out drinking? I hope you didn't drive home like that." At the very least, Cloud didn't seem as upset over what happened with Roxas as he could have been.
"I parked my bike near the bar and I walked home. I'm not drunk… just buzzed enough to get me to sleep..."
"Cloud… aren't you going to tell me what happened?"
Cloud had started for the stairs, stopping in his tracks when asked the question. He took his time in answering, unable to face the brunet.
"Roxas is… no longer my obligation."
"What? Cloud, are you listening to yourself?"
"I need a shower…" he said softly, before continuing on his way.
Squall was left in mix of astonishment and disappointment, deciding he would have his say whenever Cloud was no longer intoxicated.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After stripping down to his underwear, Squall laid himself down on the bed he shared with Cloud; however it had been long since the blonde had last occupied it.
He closed his eyes, shutting out dimly lit room despite not feeling tired or sleepy; he was burdened with thoughts of his betrayal. Squall started to hate the guilt that was nagging at him. On one hand he felt relief; the physical relief of the ache that had been plaguing him deep inside his body.
Irvine had wasted no time getting him bare-bottomed in a pathetic pile of need and lust, soon after his proposition.
'Pathetic, selfish whore.'
Cloud would never forgive him. Yet, he couldn't help blaming Cloud for driving him to that extreme.
Squall was removed from his thoughts, startled for the umpteenth time tonight when Cloud entered their bedroom, ready for bed in his boxer briefs.
He looked up at the blonde curiously. "You're sleeping here tonight?"
"Yeah… Something wrong with that?"
"No… nothing wrong…" If Squall hadn't been racked with guilt, he would have been beaming. "Took you long enough."
Cloud laid down next to him, propping his head up on his hand to face his boyfriend; neither one had gotten under the covers.
"Denzel okay today?"
"Yeah, he was great, but… he missed you. He waited up for you."
"Oh, yeah? How long did he last?"
"Not even ten minutes."
Cloud let a small smile grace his face thinking about his son, "Oh, Denzel… I'll make it up to him tomorrow… But first…" Cloud shifted himself over to Squall, getting on all fours to hover over him. "…I want to make something up to you."
Squall looked away from Cloud's lusting eyes, fearing he might see right through his deceit. "It's been a long time…"
"Forty-something days too long…"
"Not counting the time you made me blow you?"
"Shut up… I'm sorry about that okay?" Cloud leaned in, kissing his cheek gently. "I'm sorry about holding out on you for so long. I know what it's like for you."
Squall looked back up to his boyfriend's eyes. "No… You don't."
Cloud scoffed. "Thanks for being so forgiving. Should I be under the impression, you won't let me make it up to you," he asked huskily, as he slipped his hand into the brunet's underwear, stroking him gently.
"No," Squall answered, his better judgment obscured by his renewed need, he reached into the drawer of their nightstand and handed Cloud a bottle of lubricant. "So you better get started." In his desperation, the protection that was crucial to their intimacy at this time was completely forgone.
Cloud all but ripped the fabric that was Squall's underwear when he pulled it off his body and tossed it aside, the brunet willfully spreading himself open as the barrier was removed.
Cloud inserted his slickened fingers into Squall's entrance, lowering his lips to nip at his boyfriend's smooth inner thighs as he prepared him.
"Gods… I've missed these gorgeous legs. Withholding sex from you is stupidest thing I've ever done." Cloud flicked his tongue over Squall's arousal as he trailed over to his other thigh, earning him a throaty moan. "Don't ever… ever… let me do that again."
Both had become increasingly and painfully aroused, so that Cloud couldn't tell which one of them was more eager.
Cloud made his way back, using his tongue to caress the hardened nubs on Squall's chest. He finally reached his lips, kissing him deeply as he took hold of both of Squall's hands, pinning them down on either side of his head.
"You ready?" he asked, breathing heavily from the kiss.
Squall looked deep into Cloud's blazing cerulean eyes. "Yess…"
"Tell me I'm the only one you want." Cloud started to press himself into Squall's entrance.
"Mnn… You're the only one I want, Cloud." He opened himself up further, wanting the teasing to end.
Cloud lowered lips again, gently biting the nape of Squall's neck, then whispered in his ear. "Tell me you want me to fuck you."
Squall's thickly-lashed eyes lidded themselves, his pink lips parted as he started to pant in anticipation. "Hha… hnng…" He felt the head of Cloud's cock slip inside him. "Cloud… Fuck me."
That was all Cloud needed to finally push himself through.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
One of Cloud's hands tangled itself Squall's chocolatey brown locks as he kissed and nipped at the nape of the brunet's neck. With every forward thrust, Cloud aimed for his boyfriend's amazingly erogenous area; he knew whenever he hit it he would be rewarded with the sweetest sounds of pleasure.
After some lengthy amount of time, Squall had reached his peak, but he begged Cloud to continue.
"Please… don't stop…"
Cloud was amazed when Squall came a second time, even without being noticeably aroused again.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When they finished, Cloud and Squall were thoroughly exhausted, pressed together in a hot heap of perspiration and semen.
"I don't even know how… you made me come twice…" Squall said hoarsely, looking at Cloud through bleary eyes.
Cloud slowly slipped himself out of his boyfriend's body, shifting aside to allow Squall to relax himself.
Even in the dim light, all of Squall's features seemed to stand out. His tousled hair, thick eyelashes, the contours of his face, and his pouty lips; his cheeks were flushed pink, just like they had been earlier.
"You're glowing…"
Squall wordlessly took one of Cloud's hands in his, bringing it up to his lips for a gentle kiss.
"I love you…" he said, finally.
"Sleepy?"
Squall nodded his head in his pillow. "I've never wanted to go to sleep so bad, just so I can wake up and have sex with you all over again."
Cloud smiled, letting out a soft chuckle. "You and me, both," he said as he nestled their bodies comfortably together. "I love you, Squall… More than you'll ever know," he said finally, before drifting off to sleep.
Progress! Sort of… DX I've been writing this for how many years? Yeezus. Anyway, hope you enjoyed! Thank you Owle and StillDollDemon for your quick reviews of the last chapter! I don't think it was very popular due to the… erm… cheating. Lol
Well now what comes next you ask? Will Cloud ever find out about Squall cheating on him? Did Squall get pregnant again? Is Cloud really disowning Roxas and will Axel's deep dark secrets ever come to light? Will Sora ever confess his feelings to Riku? (Riku will be making a comeback in the next chapter!) Please stick around to find out!
Btw, if anyone's curious on their ages, Cloud, Squall, Irvine, and Zack are all the same age (24); Axel/Lea is a year younger than them (23); Sora is 14, Riku a year older than him (15) and Roxas a year younger than him (13); Denzel is 6 and Cissnei is 13 months lol, it isn't super important, but I personally always like to know the ages of characters whenever I'm reading a story XD
