Warning(s): Ehh…I'm not really sure…^^

"Hey Sephiroth, can I ask you a question?"

"About…?"

"Cloud. Is he…well endowed?"

Sephiroth raised an eyebrow at the smirking Genesis as Yuffie and Aeris busted into laughter, almost dropping their food on the ground. Cloud told the pack a few hours ago that they were taking a break on the small island close to the North Continent since they hadn't ran into any hunters yet and could slow down so they could build up more strength for the cold path to Icicle Inn. Since there wasn't much to do on the island and Genesis was complaining about being hungry, Sephiroth decided to make lunch for everyone by using the fish that Angeal and Cloud caught and the fruit that was growing on the vegetation. It was a quiet meal as they ate around the fire, until Genesis asked him that question. Luckily Cloud was having a conversation with the council a few meters away…

"Well endowed in what? I don't understand what you're talking about…"

Genesis cut his eyes at Sephiroth.

"Oh come on Sephy! Think about it for a little bit…"

Sephiroth furrowed his brows in confusion before he saw Aeris point down while giggling. Sephiroth's eyes widened before he glared at Genesis with pink cheeks.

"Why the hell are you asking me that! Even if I knew I wouldn't tell you!"

"I was just wondering that's all. I mean, since he's the alpha of our pack, I figured that he had to be- Wait. Did you just say you don't know!" Genesis yelled in astonishment.

"Well, yeah… I never really looked…" Sephiroth said as he looked down at the ground.

"How could you not look! You two sleep together and bathe together! You should've already seen it by now! I mean, you two did have sex already, right?"

Sephiroth rolled his eyes.

"Why is any of that your concern?"

"I'm just making sure my alpha female is being taken care of!"

"You know I should kick your ass for calling me a female…"

"Whatever, now answer my question!"

Sephiroth frowned as Aeris, Yuffie, and Genesis were waiting anxiously for him to answer the redhead's question. He inwardly cursed Angeal for leaving him with them when he went with Cloud to talk to the council…

"No…"

"WHAT! Why not! Hell, if I were you, I'd already be pregnant by now!" Genesis yelled as Aeris and Yuffie laughed. Sephiroth snorted.

"I don't see what the problem is with holding it off… Besides, Cloud said we should wait until after the ceremony is over."

"Hn. That's a first…" Genesis muttered before Aeris and Yuffie punched him in his arms for saying that.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Sephiroth asked with narrowed eyes. He could tell by the looks on their faces that they were hoping that he didn't hear what Genesis just muttered. He didn't know what Genesis was insinuating with that comment and he damn sure was going to get an answer…

"Sephy, don't worry about what Genesis said. He was just being a jerk that's all…"

"Aeris don't cover for him. I can see that you and Yuffie know exactly what he's talking about so you mine as well tell me."

"Well…how I put this… We are all human and we have our needs… Some of us just need more than others… You get what I'm saying?"

"Yeah… You're saying that Cloud has sex more than others and it's rare for him not to have it everyday. Right?" Sephiroth said with anger laced in his tone, making Aeris flinch.

"Yeah…"

Sephiroth narrowed his eyes.

"So then answer this for me. Every time that I refused him or was too angry to be in the same room with him, he was fucking someone else then?"

"…You did make him frustrated and stressed out, but it doesn't mean-"

"Did he sleep with Tifa before we got together?"

"…Sephiroth, I know what you're thinking, but he does-" Yuffie tried to say in Cloud's defense, but Sephiroth wasn't having it.

"Oh yes… He loves me while he fucking someone else. I really feel the love now Yuffie!" Sephiroth said sarcastically and full of anger. Sephiroth didn't know why he was angry. He didn't have the right to be angry about him sleeping with others when they were together the first time. He told him that he wasn't getting anything from him and was more focused on getting back together with Zack, not to mention that he also hated him and would've done anything to get away from him. He also couldn't be angry for him sleeping with Tifa before they got together again. He and Tifa were engaged so if that's what they did when he wasn't around, that was none of his business and he shouldn't care…though it would explain the reason why Tifa always smirked at him when he was changing Cloud's bandages when she was in the room with them.

"Sephiroth don't do anything irrational because of what we told you… It would hurt us more than it would hurt you…" Genesis said with sad eyes. Sephiroth sighed before nodding his head in agreement. He knew that what Genesis said was an honest accident and he will forgive him for it, even though it made him have doubts about the blond wolf and their relationship. Would Cloud sleep with someone else if they got in an argument just to release the stress? He didn't know…and as much as he wanted to ask, he didn't think he'd have the strength to ask it or hear the answer.

"Is everything alright?" Cloud asked Sephiroth with a smile on his face, inwardly hiding his concern. Sephiroth hadn't said a word to him ever since they stopped on the island and he could tell that something was bothering him because he wouldn't hold his hand anymore like they'd been doing since they left Midgar. Every time he went to grab his hand, Sephiroth would flinch and slip his hand out of his when he thought that he wasn't looking. He didn't know what was bothering his mate, but he wanted to find out before they arrived at Icicle so they could enjoy their stay there until he gets word that it's safe for them to return home. And since they were a few miles away and the council was talking amongst themselves, he figured now would be a good time to find out what's wrong with his silverette.

"…Yes, everything's fine. Why do you ask?"

"You've been so quiet ever since the break. It's not like you to be silent for a long time. I figure that it has something to do with me since you won't hold my hand anymore…"

Cloud's suspicions were confirmed when Sephiroth's eyes widened before he looked down at the ground guiltily.

"…How many wolves have you slept with Cloud?"

Cloud sighed in frustration. He was going to kill whoever told Sephiroth that he slept around a lot. It hadn't even been a week into their relationship and someone was already fucking it up before he or Sephiroth had the chance to.

"Sephiroth, that was back when I was always stressed out and needed something to give me a break from it every once in a while. The wolves I slept with were stress relievers, nothing more." Cloud said honestly. Though it didn't exactly justify his actions, it was the best explanation that he could give to Sephiroth.

"That didn't answer my question."

Cloud frowned when he saw that Sephiroth was glaring at him. He didn't feel like arguing, not over something that he'd done way before he even met Sephiroth.

"Why does any of that matter now? It happened months ago and-"

"Expect for me to believe that you being a man whore happened months ago and be okay with it and to believe that it won't happen again because you love me? Tch. You're so full of shit Cloud! If it happened once, it will happen again! Hell, for all that I know, you could be thinking about fucking someone else right now because we're having an argument! How the hell am I supposed to trust that when you and I get into fights that you won't cheat on me with someone else because it's a 'stress reliever'! Relationships are built on trust Cloud and you're looking kind of shady to me!" Sephiroth yelled with his voice full of anger. Cloud snorted.

"Funny that you don't trust me when it should me that shouldn't trust you. At least I didn't hire wolves to kill you…" Cloud growled. As soon as he saw Sephiroth's eyes widened in shock and disbelief with his mouth open, he wished that he could take that last sentence back. He wasn't surprised when he touched Sephiroth's cheek in order to apologize to him that Sephiroth glared at him before slapping his hand away and walking away from him. Even though what he said was low, it was the truth… He turned around and saw Sephiroth climb onto Angeal's back with a huff of anger. With the knowledge that Sephiroth would be safe with Angeal, he continued walking through the snow towards Icicle Inn, feeling lonelier than he normally did…

"Sorry to jump on your back unexpectedly like that and not say anything, Angeal. I was…a tad bit pissed off…" Sephiroth said as he sat down on the couch next to the fireplace with a sigh. They had arrived at the inn just before it got dark outside and while they were resting in the lobby, Cloud announced for everyone to partner up with whoever they wanted to share a room with since each room had two beds. He was sure that everyone was expecting for him and Cloud to share a room, but he startled them, including Cloud, when he said the he'd sleep on the couch in Angeal's and Genesis' room. He was still angry at Cloud for what he said and knew that he would feel uncomfortable being in the same room with him. He thought that Cloud had gotten over him accidentally hiring Tseng and Vincent to kill him, but apparently he didn't and that hurt him more than he let on…

"I think a 'tad bit' doesn't fit the description from what I and the rest of the pack heard…" Angeal said sternly as he leaned against the couch. Sephiroth sighed, knowing that Angeal was about to scold him for how he behaved with Cloud.

"Is this the part where you yell at me?"

"No. This is the part where I tell you that you shouldn't be angry at Cloud for something that he did months ago before we even met you, nor should you be angry at what he said in retaliation. It hurt Cloud more than you think it did when you insinuated that you didn't trust him over something that he was going to eventually tell you about when the time was right."

"But-"

"Let me put it to you like this… It's late March. Cloud hasn't slept with anyone since early November, even after all the anger and stress you put him through when you first met each other. What does that say, Sephiroth?"

Sephiroth furrowed his brow in confusion. He knew that Angeal was saying that Cloud hadn't slept with anyone for about five months because he wanted him, but it didn't add up with what he heard from Genesis, Yuffie, and Aeris.

"…Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure. I have no reason to lie to you."

Sephiroth cursed. He felt like an idiot… He was going to kick Genesis, Aeris, and Yuffie in the face for giving him false information. Though he knew that they told him not to do something irrational, they should've known that he would've done it anyway. He's a human who tends to not make the smartest decisions or have the best arguments without knowing the entire story first…

"Don't blame Genesis, Yuffie, and Aeris too much. They were going off of information that they heard from other wolves of the pack, mostly the ones that were jealous and still angry that Cloud kicked them out of his bed after he was done with them."

"How did you know that they were the ones that told me?"

"When do they not tell you something?"

"Good point… Where is Genesis by the way? It's getting late…"

Angeal chuckled.

"I think he went to go check on Cloud to make sure that he was alright… He looked-"

"Alright, alright I get it! I'm getting off my ass right now to go straighten things out with him! You don't have to make me feel worse than I already do by telling me that he looked sad, depressed, or whatever it is that you were going to say…" Sephiroth huffed before he got off of the couch and headed towards the door, rolling his eyes when he heard Angeal laugh. Sephiroth exited the room and walked down the hallway towards the elevator. When he hit the button for the elevator to go up, he didn't expect for Genesis to run out of the elevator in his wolf form and quickly moved to the left to prevent the red wolf from stomping on him.

"Watch where you're going you idiot!" Sephiroth yelled before stepping into the elevator. He raised a brow when a blond haired man with his hair slicked back darted into the elevator before it closed.

"What floor do you need?" Sephiroth asked politely. The man looked him over before he smirked.

"I was going to the 3rd floor, but after seeing you, I think I'll be going to whatever floor you are..."

Sephiroth rolled his eyes. That's just what he needed…another asshole hitting on him. At least he wasn't trying to grope his ass like the room service boy tried to do. He fixed that situation with one swift punch to the jaw, much to Angeal's amusement. He pressed the button to go to the private suites and leaned against the wall, hoping for the elevator to go as fast as it could.

"I don't think I've seen you here before… What is your name if you don't mind me asking?"

"I do mind and aren't you supposed to say your name first before asking someone else theirs?" Sephiroth said with narrowed eyes. The man smiled.

"My apologies, where are my manners? My name's Rufus ShinRa. I own shares at the inn and I usually visit this place once a week to evaluate that it will keep people and wolves coming back."

"Sephiroth."

He inwardly smirked when he saw Rufus make a face at him for not saying anything else about himself. He wasn't about to say anything else to the man because that would mean that he was interested in him and he didn't want to send out mixed signals.

"Are you available?"

Sephiroth's eyes widened at the blunt question before narrowing his eyes at the still smiling blond. This was like dealing with Cloud all over again…

"No I'm not. Why does it matter to you?"

Rufus chuckled.

"I'm a very rich wolf. I can have anything you want at the snap of my fingers. So how about you leave whoever your with behind and get with me instead? I'll make it worth your while…"

Sephiroth smirked. Once he and Cloud were on good terms again, he was going to have a field day when he tells him about this guy.

"Sorry, but my mate already gives whatever I want, so I don't see what there is that you can give me that he wouldn't be able to. Besides, he's a very powerful wolf who wouldn't appreciate someone else trying to take me away from him so I'd be careful if I were you…" Sephiroth said with his arms folded. What he said was true, Cloud did spoil him ever since he met him and when they get back home, he said he would work on expanding the kitchen so that he could make his breads and pastries without interfering with the chefs while they used the oven because he complained about not being able to cook everyday while they were walking through the forest.

"Really? I didn't know that Cloud pampered you that much… Seems as though I'm out of the competition…for now."

Sephiroth's eyes widened when Rufus smirked at him before walking out of the elevator when it stopped. How he knew that he was with Cloud, he didn't know, but he didn't like how he said that last sentence. If he didn't know any better, he'd say that it sounded like a threat. Sephiroth shook his head. He could worry about Rufus later; he had more important matters to attend to.

Cloud growled in annoyance when he heard a knock at his door. If it was Genesis again, he would seriously kill him this time. He still couldn't believe that he was the one that told Sephiroth about his past sexual encounters and placed his and Sephiroth's relationship in jeopardy. He opened the door and his eyes widened when he saw that it was his silverette, looking troubled by something. Before he could ask if something was wrong, Sephiroth began to talk.

"I came over to apologize to you for what I said earlier. I was…wrong to say the things I said and I forgive you for what you said in retaliation. Can you forgive me?"

Cloud blinked at Sephiroth's rushed apology. Had he not known Sephiroth the way that he did, he would've thought that he was being an ass. And since he knew that Sephiroth hated being the one to apologize first, he smirked.

"I'll forgive you…for now…"

Sephiroth scoffed.

"Are you stealing my lines now?"

"It's a possibility…" Cloud said while chuckling as he moved to let Sephiroth inside his suite. He wasn't surprised when he heard Sephiroth gasp in awe as he closed the door. He couldn't blame him. A nice size two bedroom suite with a fireplace, kitchen, bar, living area, dining area, and a large bathroom with a hot tub in it could do that to people. He waited for Sephiroth to finish touring his suite before teasing his silverette.

"Did you feel like staying for a little bit before returning to your room with Angeal and Genesis or are you about to leave?" Cloud asked with a grin on his face, knowing that his high maintenance mate wasn't going give up the chance to sleep on a king sized bed with big fluffy pillows for a couch.

"Well you see… I sat on the couch they had and it felt really uncomfortable and since you have a spare bedroom, I think I'll stay with you. Besides, you need someone to keep you company."

"Right… All I heard was: Cloud, I couldn't get Genesis to sleep on the couch instead of me and you know damn well that I wouldn't sleep on a couch here because I don't trust it. Am I right?"

"…I feel like pancakes. How about you?"

Cloud laughed as Sephiroth walked away from him and into the kitchen without waiting for him to respond. He shook his head. Though he knew that Sephiroth did want to apologize for what happened earlier, it was the idea of him sleeping on a couch and probably Angeal telling him to do it was his main reason for coming up to his suite. Did he care? Of course not. The love of his life was no longer mad at him. That was all that mattered at the moment…

After they ate the pancakes that Sephiroth made, they decided that it was time to get some rest so that they would wake up at a decent time for Cloud to show him how to snowboard. Instead of sharing a bed with Cloud, Sephiroth wanted to have a king sized bed to himself, which Cloud reluctantly allowed him to do. After a very intimate goodnight kiss, Sephiroth went into his bedroom and jumped onto the bed with a content sigh and fell asleep…until he was woken up by strange noises coming from the room next to his. He rolled over to look at the clock and saw that it was 3a.m before rolling his eyes and quietly getting out of his comfy bed to see what interrupted him from his sleep. He stood in his room for a few moments until he heard the noise again and realized that it was coming from Cloud's room. He quietly crept closer to the door that connected to Cloud's room and furrowed his brows when the noises sounded more like grunts and purrs.

The hell is he doing in there? Sephiroth inwardly said as he stood in front of the door. He placed his ear against the door and narrowed his eyes in confusion when he heard the rustle of bed sheets and a growl. As quietly as he could, he turned the door knob and opened the door. Sephiroth inwardly gasped as his cheeks turned red. He didn't know whether he should laugh or scream before running back into his bed. Instead, he did neither and continued to watch Cloud fuck his pillow in his sleep while purring and growling. His cheeks turned a darker shade of red when he saw that Cloud was beyond well endowed, judging by the nice size tent in his boxers.

Well, he is the alpha wolf for a reason…a very good reason…which is probably the reason why Tifa never wanted to leave the bathroom when Cloud was bathing…

The more he watched, the more he felt jealous of the pillow. Had he known that Cloud was that big and knew how to use it, perhaps he wouldn't have been so evil towards him when they first met...

Great! Now I sound like a whore! Sephiroth inwardly huffed before rolling his eyes. He came out of his thoughts when Cloud let out a groan as he thrusted faster into the pillow. It was a sign that Cloud was getting to releasing and Sephiroth turned around to close the door so that he could give Cloud his privacy back.

"Ahh, Sephiroth!"

"WHAT!"

Sephiroth slapped a hand over his mouth in shock for yelling that out before running into his bed and slipping the bed sheets and comforter over his head. He wasn't expecting for Cloud to yell his name like that in pleasure. Hell, it caught him way off guard! Sephiroth smirked. At least it was him that he was thinking of… He inwardly cursed when he heard rustling of bed sheets and footsteps getting closer and closer to his room. He knew that his yell was pretty loud, but he didn't think that it was loud enough for him to break Cloud's sleep, then again, Cloud was part wolf and he had a keen sense of hearing.

Shit! I left the goddamn door open! Sephiroth yelled in his head when he didn't hear the creak of the door when Cloud's footsteps were getting closer to his bed. He instantly steadied his breathing to act like he was in a deep sleep when Cloud pulled the bed sheets off of his head. His heart beat quickened as he felt Cloud staring down at him, making it harder for him to remain still. He inwardly gasped when Cloud kissed his cheek before positioning the sheets around him and walking back towards his room.

Sephiroth let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the door shut. He wasn't sure if he fooled Cloud or not, but as far as he was concerned, it was good enough.

"Goodnight, Sephiroth."

"Goodnight, Cl- FUCK!" Sephiroth yelled. He'd forgotten about Cloud's hearing and he probably heard him sigh. Sephiroth growled at his stupidity while ignoring Cloud's chuckles. The bastard knew that he was awake the whole time and he just confirmed it. It was going to be a long day tomorrow…

To Be Continued… :)
