Everyone else, please enjoy!

Cloud's head rested on the hospital mattress right next to Squall's blanket covered leg as he gazed longingly at his partner's sleeping face. The blonde had woken about an hour ago from his sleep when Dr. Lowell came in to run a few tests.

The second day of this waiting game came with hope after the elderly doctor informed them of Squall's quickening recovery. His punctured lung, which was mended by the surgical doctors, was healing nicely so the physician deemed it alright to remove the breathing tube.

Seeing Squall's chest rise and fall normally-seeing him breathe on his own- sent a flood of relief through everyone. Squall's condition was now out of the danger zone, allowing everyone to breathe easily and walk on smooth ground as opposed to eggshells.

Both Light and Cecil had departed moments ago to go with Firion and Tidus to the hospital cafeteria for a brunch. It was good that Tidus was up and about, moving around like he normally did, with a few dizzy spells here and there. But besides those, the kid was definitely fine.

Raising his head, Cloud took his right hand and interlaced his fingers with Squall's own, caressing the elder male's skin affectionately. When he felt Squall's hand tighten around his own, Cloud's heart rate sped up ten fold; blue eyes widening when Squall's own twins of stormy grey opened slowly. "Squall?"

Cloud crept in closer towards the brunette, hoping that Squall would reply. When he received a small upturn of the lips from Squall, Cloud leaned his head onto the brunette's forehead and mumbled out quietly, "You're such an asshole."

Tightening his grip on Cloud's hand, Squall smiled softly at the feel of the younger man's skin touching his. He hadn't realized how he longed for Cloud's touch until now. "Sorry," Squall rasped out, making him clear his throat.

Kissing the brunette's forehead, Cloud took both his hands and cupped Squall's face. "I'm happy that you're back and safe."

Gazing deeply into twin oceans of blue, Squall leaned up some towards Cloud while the other moved his head down, both connecting with a searing kiss. The raw emotion that was poured into the kiss sent a wave of love through both men. Cloud had been so distraught in the past three days but now, now Squall was finally alright.

When he tried to deepen the kiss, he heard Squall's grunt of pain and quickly reeled back into his chair. Squall was still injured so this was no time to have a fierce make-out session. At the brunette's unsatisfied look, Cloud shook his head. "Not until you are better."

"But…"

"No."

Frowning noticeably, Squall tried once more to bargain with the blonde but received the same determined 'no'. Once Cloud made a decision, he stuck with it- no ifs, ands or buts. That stupid resolve aggravated Squall to no end sometimes.

A few more minutes passed by in silence before Squall spoke again. "Tidus is alright?"

At Cloud's nod, the brunette gave a tight lipped smirk. "Good."

Placing his right hand on Squall's resting arm, Cloud's gaze connected with Squall's own. "He was really worried about you, you know."

Raising an inquisitive brow, the brunette said, "And you weren't?"

"Hn."

"So you weren't." Squall said playfully.

Cloud continued to stare at the older male with a look that only Squall would understand. He knew how fretfully worried Cloud had been- he knew Cloud was still worried- but the blonde would never say just how worried he was. With that, Squall took his left hand and grasped Cloud's, receiving ghost traces of a smile that were only for him.

"Dr. Lowell said that you're doing well though." Cloud said quietly. "Might be able to release you sooner."

"We could still hit the beach then I suppose?"

Cloud shrugged. "I'm not sure. If we did, you wouldn't be able to over exert yourself."

"It's not that bad Cl-" At Cloud's glare, Squall quickly shut his mouth.

"Squall stop trying to act tough when you aren't right now. You're sitting in a hospital bed because of a stupid accident and you almost died! How can you say that it's not that bad? I saw all the blood pouring out of you and… and the glass windshield sheet coming out of your stomach. I saw it all and… " After Cloud's initial burst of worry and anger, he added more quietly, "Dammit Squall, I was so scared."

The brunette knew that he had crossed the line back there. Cloud was probably remembering what had happened to Zack and now, seeing Squall in a similar state, the blonde was scared that he'd loose another he cared about. Reaching up towards Cloud's down turned head, Squall ran his fingers through blonde spikes. "I love you."

Beautiful blue eyes smiled when they met with the twin grey storms.

"I really, really want to take a shower… Ugh I smell like," Tidus pulled the neckline of his shirt up and sniffed. "I smell like anti-bacterial cream and other hospital stuff."

"How can you smell like 'hospital stuff'?" Cecil laughed, quoting Tidus's word choices.

"We just ate Tidus. I would rather not think of odorous stenches thank you." Light quickened his pace down the hallway from the cafeteria they all just left.

"You calling me a stench? I take offense to that!" Tidus shot back, trying to catch up to the elder's longer strides.

"More like you resemble that." Firion jokingly mumbled out, earning an un-lethal glare.

"You know, now that you mentioned it, I do believe that the hospital rooms have their own small bathroom." Thumping his forefinger on his chin, Cecil pondered the thought. "Yes I know I'm right now; there's a door on the far side of the room which I believe leads to an adjoining bathroom for the patients to use."

"What made you so knowledgeable about hospital room layouts Cecil?" Tidus pursed his lips and rose a blonde brow in questioning.

"Well, it's not that hard to put two and two together Tidus. I'm sure even a child would've been able to figure out the different doors in a room. Their curiosity would see to that." The silver-white haired male snickered at Tidus's frown.

"I am not a kid!"

"He called you a child." Light answered back.

"Oh shut up."

Firion chuckled and ran his hand up and down Tidus's back, trying to calm the riled up younger as they made their way back down the winding corridors towards Squall's room. Light was the first to enter the brightly lit room, followed by the others. Upon entering, they saw Squall alert and awake, making the heavy weight on their shoulders disappear.

"Squall!" Tidus shouted out, quickly racing towards the bedside of his best friend. "I'm so glad to see you're alright. You're alright, right?"

At the brunettes nod, Tidus beamed, earning a small grin from the more stoic male. "It's good to see you're… you."

The smile on the athlete's face dropped immediately. "Hey what's that mean?"

"He means he's glad to see you're alright." Cloud responded before the brunette could further ruffle Tidus's feathers.

Shifting his weight to his right foot, Tidus crossed his arms over his chest and pursed his lips before grinning. "Ch, whatever you say."

"Cloud, when did he wake up?" Light said from his standing position in-between Firion and Cecil.

"Not that long ago." Cloud turned towards Squall again and placed his hand lightly on Squall's abdomen. "How's your stomach doing?"

"Honestly? I can't feel anything. Well, there's this slight pain but it's barely there." Squall then glanced upwards to the IV and frowned. "Maybe it's because of the painkillers they have me on."

The room door opened, revealing another nurse with a clipboard. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop but we actually have you on a smaller dose of painkillers." The shorter blonde made her way towards one of the machines and scribbled down something on her chart before turning her attention back to the others. "Everything is looking great; it's hard to believe that you came in all bloody and dying two days ago."

Her charming smile, even after she spoke of death so easily, was contagious as the others broke out into small smirks as well. Parting from the room, the woman bid farewell to the others and wished Squall a good recovery.

As soon as the door shut, Tidus whispered out, "That was creepy."

"Don't let it get to you. Doctors and their subordinates are always like that," Cloud grumbled out.

xxxxxxx

About another hour passed by quickly and the group was ushered out of Squall's room when Dr. Lowell claimed that the elder brunette needed more rest. Cloud being the only one allowed to stay inside the room.

Light and Cecil decided that they would head back to their apartment to refreshen themselves before coming by later on in the afternoon. The older silver haired male said that he would also be calling his friend Sarah to postpone their holiday trip to Besaid. If everything went well as the doctors claimed, then they might just be able to sneak in a week of sun and fun before the month and a half winter vacation was over.

Tidus sat upon his hospital bed, fiddling with the hem of his shirt and worrying his lower lip. "So Firion…"

Quirking his head to the side, Firion crossed his arms over his chest and waited for Tidus to continue. He knew what was going to come out of the boy's mouth next. "Do you wanna…"

"Do I want to what, Tidus?" Smiling at Tidus's quickly reddening face, Firion continued. "You know I can't read your mind."

"You know what I mean." The blonde kept his eyes trained on the white flooring, not wanting Firion to see his excitement and nervousness- it was all so embarrassing!

Firion hmm'd and tapped his for finger on his chin. "Do I?"

What Tidus did next completely caught Firion off guard. He had expected the younger to continue to beat around the bush but when Tidus stood up and grabbed Firion by the collar of his shirt and kissed him deeply, the elder male was at a loss. Tidus wrapped his arms around Firions neck, his fingers toying with the silky strands of silver hair at the base of his neck.

Damn, Tidus knew that Firion had a weak spot for his hair being played with. Encircling Tidus's waist with his arms, Firion pulled Tidus closer towards him. "Tidus…"

Pressing his body up against Firion's larger one, Tidus felt the bulge in his partner's pants beginning to grow which in turn made his own more prominent.

When Tidus brushed up against his awakening, clothed, member, Firion groaned into the kiss, making Tidus smirk. "You sure you don't know what I mean Firion?"

Grinning at Tidus's playfulness, Firion decided to go along with it. "No, I really don't know what you're getting at. I think you need to demonstrate."

Blue eyes alight with flaming desire, Tidus attacked Firion's lips once more, ravishing the other man's mouth with his tongue; his hands moving up and down Firion's back, wanting to feel every part of him.

Firion slowly walked back towards the back wall, pulling Tidus with him, not once allowing their lips to disconnect from one another. Once he felt his back touch the cool wall, Firion switched their positions.

Taking his leg and putting it in-between Tidus's, Firion let out a small moan when he felt the younger grind up against it. Breaking apart from the hot, wet kiss, allowing for Tidus to begin placing kisses down Firion's jaw line, the silverette spoke quietly, trying hard not to moan in appreciation when Tidus's hands began fondling him through his clothing. "Tidus… I… aw shit, I think you need to be a better teacher because I-ah!-I still don't know what…ngh…what you mean."

Blue eyes connected with lusty silver and Firion knew that he was in trouble. When his lips were sealed by the shorter boy, and he felt Tidus's hand snake into his pants and cup his heated member, Firion thought he'd died.

The feeling of Tidus's hands working around the base of his cock and his balls made Firion lean his head against the wall while his partner continued to pleasure him. Since when did Tidus get so feisty and bold? It had never happened before but hey, who was he to complain?

And then the thought of having sex in a hospital crossed Firion's mind, making him even harder. Tidus gasped and pulled his lips off from Firion's neck when he felt the elder harden further. "What the hell are you thinking about up there Firion?"

Looking down, Firion captured Tidus's lips in a quick kiss then licked his way down the boy's neck. "Fucking you in the hospital."

A coy smile presented itself on Tidus's face as the boy pulled away from Firion, taking his hand out of the other's pants and slowly making his way towards the bathroom, pulling his shirt off along the way, giving Firion a nice show. "Y'know," Tidus said seductively, completely entrancing Firion, "Cecil did say that there was a shower in every room."

He opened the bathroom door and beckoned for Firion to come.

Lazily walking towards Tidus with a prominent smirk on his face, Firion leaned up against the door frame with his left hand above Tidus's head. "He did, didn't he?"

Grinning with excitement, Tidus whispered out into Firion's ear, "And I need to be cleaned up. Can you help with that?"

Returning Tidus's smirk with his own, Firion leaned down and began kissing his way along the blonde's neck, earning small gasps of pleasure whenever he reached a sensitive spot. "I think I can help with that."

When he felt Firion's tongue dance across the skin between his neck and shoulder- a very sensitive area that Firion knew all too well- Tidus mewled out and threaded his hands in Firion's silver locks. Wherever Firion's tongue trailed, fire erupted in its wake. And to think, they haven't even gotten to the good part yet. Just imagine if Firion's tongue got down closer to his-

"Ah!" Tidus cried out, feeling Firion's mouth clamp down on supple flesh before his tongue lapped up the small bruising skin. Damn, how was he going to hide that one?

Firion began pushing them further into the already small bathroom and shut the door behind him. He felt Tidus's hands pulling on the hem of his shirt so Firion lifted his arms up and allowed for the younger to pull the article of clothing off, exposing the elder's broad chest.

Tidus dropped the shirt onto the floor and once again attacked Firion's lips with his. The blonde felt Firion's hands glide down his back and hesitate a little at the scar before continuing downwards and into his borrowed hospital pants.

Squeezing Tidus's ass with large hands, earning a satisfying moan from the other, Firion pulled him closer towards himself. "Can you be any hotter?"

Tidus smirked, making Firion's cock twitch in excitement. "Just wait till we get to the beach Rosebud."

What exactly did Tidus have planned out for him at the beach? Silently, Firion prayed to whatever deity out there that Squall would be released soon so that he could see what his younger lover had planned out for him. "What exactly are you plotting?"

Settling his wandering hands on Firion's chest, Tidus leaned up and quickly kissed him on the nose before breaking apart from the embrace to turn on the shower. "Hmm, I guess you'll just have to find out."

With Tidus's back turned towards him, checking out the water temperature, Firion moved to stand directly behind Tidus. Once again, Firion's arms encircled Tidus's waist while he buried his face into the back of golden hair.

Sighing in content when he felt Tidus relax against him, Firion placed soft butterfly kisses down the boy's exposed upper body. As he trailed his eyes down Tidus's bare back, Firion couldn't help but lean down and kiss the pearled flesh of scar tissue.

This caused Tidus to pull away some. "Firion you don't have to loo-"

Firion silenced Tidus by placing his larger hand over the boy's mouth. He knew what Tidus was saying and he knew what the boy meant but it all didn't matter. Tidus needed to know that none of that mattered to Firion.

Resuming the affectionate kisses across Tidus's shoulders, once he felt Tidus relax again in his arms, Firion began tugging at the other's loose hospital pants. Sliding the thin fabric over lean legs, Firion simply stared in awe at the body before him.

Tidus looked over his shoulder, blue eyes showing a small tinge of unease but masked by a haze of wanton lust. He wasn't sure if he should say anything so he just kept his mouth shut while Firion's eyes ran up and down his naked body.

The athlete could feel his cheeks heating up when he saw Firion's gaze linger on his ass. "Will you stop staring?"

"I don't think that's possible." Bringing a hungry gaze back up from Tidus's rear, Firion unbuckled his own pants and dropped the jeans onto the floor, stepping out of them towards Tidus who seemed to have frozen on the spot. "So, shall we continue?"

Tidus gulped before he felt Firion's lips crash down onto his own. Tidus's brazen, dominating façade he had earlier quickly relinquished itself to Firion's stronger urge to control. Allowing Firion's hands to run up and down his sides, Tidus simply placed his own hands onto the taller male's shoulders and continued with the kiss.

Maneuvering them into the, condensed, warm shower stall, Firion watched with a heated gaze as the water droplets matted down Tidus's blonde hair and raced down his face, dripping off of his panting lips and chin.

Firion cupped Tidus's cheeks with his hands. "Damn, you're so hot Tidus."

Placing his hands on top of Firion's own, the younger smiled sexily. "You're not too shabby yourself there Firion." He then steeped in closer towards the other and whispered naughtily into his ear. "So, are you going to help me clean up?"

"I'll try my best." Firion grabbed for the hospital brand body soap that was in one of the metal dispensers on the wall next to the shampoo and conditioner dispensers. The liquid green body gel came out onto Firion's open palm and he lathered it up and down Tidus's back while Tidus did the same for his front.

Feeling Firion's hands work the soap into his skin, rubbing up and down his body, made Tidus's member rise in anticipation. As Firion's hands went further down near the crevicies of his butt cheeks, Tidus's heart rate hastened and he let out a quick gasp when a large palm wrapped itself around his cock. "F-Firion, ngh."

Soap suds raced down his arms, back and legs with the running water while Firion pressed himself to Tidus's back, craning his neck over Tidus's shoulder to see the boy's face and his own handiwork. With his right hand encircling Tidus's cock, Firion used his left to cup the other's balls, kneading them, making the body beneath him shake with pleasure.

Tidus could feel Firion's heavy member pressing up against him from behind. The heated flesh commanded attention that Tidus would give to it in due time.

He couldn't hold it much longer; Firion's hands working him to completion on the front quickly pulled Tidus closer towards the brink of orgasm. The coiling tightness in his stomach made Tidus beg for release. "Firion, please."

Thrusting his hips into Firion's pumping hand, Tidus moaned out, wanting to release, but Firion denied him by removing his hands from the weeping cock. Tidus growled out in frustration. "Dammit Firion, stop teasing. I-ngh!"

Feeling Firion's finger enter him in one quick push made Tidus focus all his attention onto that one aspect of uncomfortable pleasure. He spread his legs a little wider, allowing Firion more room to do whatever he pleased.

Moving his right index finger in and out of Tidus's hole, Firion took his left hand and began toying with Tidus's pert nipples. Teasing the left nub, the silverette added a second finger to the first, earning a lovely moan and a thrust back onto his impaling two digits.

Scissoring his two fingers and then adding a third, Firion prepared the younger for what was to come. Tidus had leaned himself up against the wet shower wall, his lower half still positioned towards Firion as said male thrust his fingers in and out of him.

"Please Firion, more," Tidus whimpered out.

"I need to stretch you out nice a good." Firion thrust his fingers back in, earning another gasp and thrust from Tidus. "Someone's greedy. Look at how it's sucking me in."

"Fuck…ngh." Panting, Tidus looked over his shoulder and begged once more. "Please, I want you in me."

Hungry silver eyes connected with yearning blue orbs. "Say it again."

Tidus angled his arm back behind his head so that he pulled Firion's face towards his own before he kissed him. "I want you to put your dick in me and fuck me!"

Firion didn't have to be told twice. Pulling out his fingers, the larger male spread Tidus's ass cheeks further apart and positioned the head of his engorged member against the the blonde's hole.

Feeling the tip of his lovers' cock pushing into him, Tidus urged him on. "Yes, yes more. Put it all in."

He'd waited so long to finally feel Firion's cock buried deep inside him that Tidus didn't care about the blinding pain that shot up from his backside, the burning sensation of being stretched farther than ever before. He only wanted to feel Firion's throbbing heat inside him. "Ohhh FUCK!"

Firion's head was bursting with satisfaction; Tidus's tight ass was squeezing his cock like a vice grip, not wanting to let it go. The boy's inner walls were just so hot and so soft that Firion had to struggle to keep himself from pounding mercilessly into the willing body beneath him. "Tidus, you're so tight!"

Panting wildly, the blonde athlete allowed himself to adjust to Firion's size before moving a little on his own. "Ngh… it hurts but it's so damn good."

Feeling Tidus loosen up more to his length, Firion slowly pulled out to the tip of his cock then thrust back in slowly, making Tidus moan in delighted pain. "Ohh gods… Firion, more… I want more."

Pulling out again to the tip, Firion snapped his hips against Tidus's ass, burying himself balls deep into the welcoming heat. This time, Tidus clawed at the wall when he felt Firion hit something inside of him that made stars dance across his vision. "Again! Ngh… again Firion!"

Complying to Tidus's needs, Firion positioned himself to hit that spot deep within the writhing body beneath him. Tidus's cries of pleasure was music to Firion's ears, making him pick up the pace and finally be allowed to slam into the body without worry.

Deciding to change things up, Firion turned Tidus around, making the boy gasp when his back was pushed up against the shower wall. Wrapping his legs around Firion's waist, Tidus locked them into place and thrust down whenever Firion thrust upwards.

This new angle brought with it a whole new level of pleasure. Going deeper and pushing further, Firion continued to make Tidus gasp out his name like a mantra. "So deep Firion! Nghhh so deep!"

Threading his fingers through soaked silver hair, Tidus pulled at Firion's locks, making him grit his teeth in pain but enjoying it nonetheless. Taking his right hand, Tidus began stroking his own cock in time with Firion's powerful thrusts.

Grey eyes gazed down towards the boy's hands working himself to completion. Firion would have to remember that for later: he'd have to ask Tidus to jack off for him. Seeing Tidus pleasure himself made Firion climb closer towards his completion.

Having the tight ring of muscle clench around his cock each time he shoved his large dick in and out of Tidus's tight ass, Firion began thrusting harder and faster. Tidus's body tightened around him as he cried out. "Firion! Oh gods… I'm… NNGH!"

Firion watched as Tidus's body arched beautifully towards him, his cock sending a spray of white across their chests with each load shot off. The blonde's eyes were closed tightly and his mouth agape as a cry of completion echoed in the small bathroom.

A couple more deep thrusts into the impossibly tight ass and Firion found himself shooting off his load deep within Tidus. Connecting his lips with Tidus's own, Firion kissed the other deeply as he pulled himself out of the golden haired boy's body.

Unlocking his legs from around Firion's waist, Tidus stood on wobbly legs, feeling the streams of semen leave his body and run down his legs just as the water did. "Firion."

Looking down at Tidus, Firion ran a hand through the shorter male's wet hair in worry. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

"No, no, no, nothing like that. On the contrary, it felt damn good." Tidus grinned up at his boyfriend contently. "Y'know, we just had sex in a hospital bathroom."

Firion blinked, not sure as to where Tidus was going with this. "Yeah…?"

Tidus giggled and began rubbing off his semen from Firion's chest. "Nothing."

"You're so weird."

"So says you Rosebud."

Firion gave a broad smile. No matter how many times he heard that nickname, it always reminded him of the one who gave it to him. "I love you."

Smiling back, Tidus delivered a quick chaste kiss. "Love you too."

"Hey now, we still need to get you cleaned up." At Tidus's evil grin, Firion continued in a deeper, huskier voice. "I'm sure I missed a couple areas."

"Need a closer inspection of my body?" Tidus nuzzled his head into the silverette's neck.

Leaning down, Firion nibbled Tidus's ear. "Quite possibly."

"The hospital's water bill is going to be real high." Gasping when he felt Firion's hands on his wakening member, Tidus braced himself against the larger male's body.

Firion dropped down onto his knees and kissed the tip of Tidus's renewed arousal. "Like I care."

Engulfing the entire head, Firion hummed around the crown making Tidus grip his silver hair and pull it.

xxxxxxx

"I want to move out of this room." Squall glared at the wall in front of him while Cloud merely shook his head.

"Just don't pay attention to it."

At the sound of a strangled cry, the brunette's icy glare intensified. "I was sleeping."

"But now you're not." Cloud's calming blue gaze met with stormy grey.

"What exactly does that mean?" Squall asked as Cloud arose from his seat. "Hey, where're you going? You can't leave me here with them."

Standing near the door, Cloud reached for the handle and locked it, earning a confused stare from the scarred man. "Cloud?"

"You remember that Aerith said that the doctors are all in a lunch meeting till one unless an emergency arises right?"

At Squall's nod, Cloud sauntered over towards the bed and sat down near the brunettes hips. "Well, it's only twelve thirty and we are the only patients on this wing of the hospital."

Squall's mind finally decided to kick in and a small smirk etched itself onto his face. "That's thirty minutes left."

Leaning down towards Squall's lips, Cloud licked the brunettes bottom half. "I'll play nice since you are injured."

Frowning, Squall tried to argue that he could still do it normally but Cloud's lips smashing onto his own quickly halted that train of thought. Oh well; it's too bad that they couldn't have any hospital sex like the two next door but hey, they weren't complaining.

xxxxxxx

"Cecil come on, please?"

"No."

"Let me go!"

"No."

"Why the hell not?"

"You need to learn to listen to me. I told you to put the stuff away before company arrived yet you failed to listen to my simple request."

Light glared at the departing male, making Cecil smirk triumphantly. "I will be back shortly Light."

Sometimes, people just needed to learn the hard way.

A mischievous Cecil exited the bedroom; leaving an aroused, grumbling Light handcuffed to the bed posts. Dammit he completely fell for Cecil's trap! If he only put the cuffs away when Cecil asked him to then none of this would've happened.

Light groaned out. "Cecil…"
