Sephiroth was sure that he was the first one to wake up, and he glanced over Cloud's body to check that Tseng really was asleep and how deeply he was sleeping; he knew the concubine needed more rest than he did or Cloud did and Sephiroth had worn him out for Cloud's amusement last night. Then Cloud had done his best to wear Sephiroth out, but he'd stopped when he saw Sephiroth wasn't becoming aroused any more. Now he was in the mood for a bit more fun, and Tseng was just resting up against Cloud, sleeping deeply enough that it probably wouldn't wake him if they played a bit.
Sephiroth started by kissing the base of Cloud's throat, then he kissed his way down his lord's body, gently and teasingly, hoping not to wake him until he actually had Cloud's cock in his mouth. He'd done this before, and by now he had enough practice that he could keep from waking his lord two out of three times, but this time his hair fell wrong, in a matted clump that knocked against Cloud's body and woke him as he paused to run his tongue around Cloud's navel.
"Mmm...that's good. Don't stop." Cloud's hands came to cup the back of Sephiroth's head, but he let Sephiroth up enough to speak as soon as he tried to pull back.
"We need to be quiet, Tseng's still asleep, and I'd rather not disturb him."
"We've come quite a long way, haven't we? I remember how you sent Tseng away straight the first time you took him while I watched, now you're worried about him enough to ask me not to disturb him." Cloud sounded amused rather than angry, so Sephiroth just nuzzled against his hip for a moment before replying.
"I'm worried about him, yes, he's fragile and he needs more sleep than we do. But I want to have you to myself for a bit. Is that wrong?" Sephiroth made sure to put a plaintive note into his voice as he spoke.
"You don't share me with Tseng that often." Cloud sounded amused at Sephiroth's question, but he was speaking quietly, and he wasn't angry. "Last night was just the third time I got to see you fucking him. But no, it isn't wrong to want all my attention. Go ahead, have fun." Sephiroth smiled at that, and went back to licking and kissing his way along the line of Cloud's hip, until he reached his lord's groin. He usually liked to just take the head into his mouth, and wrap his hair around Cloud's shaft, but Sephiroth wasn't sure any of his hair was clean enough to make that pleasant, so instead he used a skill he rarely exercised, relaxing his throat to swallow Cloud down to the root.
Cloud tangled his hands in Sephiroth's hair, controlling his motion easily, and pulling him off just as Cloud climaxed, covering his face and hair with fresh seed.
"Having fun gentlemen?" Tseng sounded amused, but there was no hint of resentment in his voice - Sephiroth mentally acknowledged how glad he was that Tseng seemed to have so little interest in sex.
"Yes. Sephiroth, do you want me to do something for you?" He knew that Cloud wanted him to say 'yes', but Sephiroth didn't want that, not today, so he smiled at his lord and stroked his chest gently.
"Not today. If you can just focus on my pleasure sometimes why can't I do the same?" He knew that Cloud didn't really agree with that, but the Cetra wouldn't object in front of Tseng; he didn't trust their lover enough for that.
"If you want to, I suppose so." But Cloud didn't sound very happy with what he was saying as he stroked Sephiroth's hair. "Why don't you go and take a bath now? I'll shower with Tseng and we'll order breakfast for when you get out. I suppose you'll want your usual, including that disgusting liquid you call herbal tea?"
"It's better for you than coffee is, and I like it, even if you don't. So yes please." Sephiroth smiled and glanced at the door to the main room, reluctantly. "I'll go and use my bathroom, you and Tseng can use yours." Sephiroth's bathroom was by far the most luxurious in their quarters, even if the one in the harem area was designed for up to five people to use together, and he stood to leave, forcing Cloud and Tseng to get up as well.
He didn't entirely like his bathroom, but he was perfectly happy to fill the bath and spend as long as he dared relaxing in the hot water, as well as scrubbing his hair clean. He was glad that Cloud seemed to like the way the scent of his toiletries blended with his own scent, making him smell 'deliciously edible' as Cloud put it - even if Cloud only told him that after he came of age. If Cloud had objected to the cinnamon scent he used he knew it would take an enormous amount of work to find something else that covered whatever it was so many warrior caste seemed to find objectionable in his scent. But as it was Cloud tended to jump him a lot when he came out of the bath, cuddling and kissing him even if he did nothing else, and Cloud almost never let Tseng dry Sephiroth's hair for him.
He could smell the stench of coffee from his bathroom, so he wasn't surprised to see his lovers sipping that disgusting drink when he came into the common room. At least they didn't drink more than two cups a day, and even though Aeris said it was bad for them she'd also said just two or three cups a day wouldn't do too much harm. So he didn't say anything, just kissing Cloud and then Tseng, ignoring the surprise on their faces, before he sat down to eat, smiling slightly.
"Cream and honey." Cloud handed them over to Sephiroth with a smile. "Want to tell us what that was about?" Since he'd never actually kissed Tseng outside of the shows they'd put on for Cloud, not even on the two occasions the three of them had all made love together - as opposed to Sephiroth being with Tseng then with Cloud as he had been last night.
"I just realised that I've started thinking of Tseng as my lover, someone I care about, even if he is secondary for me."
"And for me." Cloud glanced at Tseng a little guiltily, with the same lack of expression Sephiroth knew was on his face.
"Concubines are meant to be secondary." Tseng sounded amused by their obvious sense of guilt. "If we come first, with our lord or with his consort something is very wrong." And Sephiroth was willing to bet it was really unusual for a consort to have enough of a relationship with a concubine to care about him. "But a lot of spouses have problems being secondary, so you'll have to pick someone understanding for that; understanding, or with her own harem and consort."
"I know." Cloud grimaced as he spoke. "I don't like the idea, but I'm staying open for a political arrangement until I'm twenty-five and if there's an offer I have to accept I'll make sure she knows doing anything to hurt or upset Sephiroth is grounds for divorce with the fault on her side. If I can dodge that bullet I'll get one of my female guards to play broodmare. All of my guards like Sephiroth, so he'll be safe that way." And they were all fairly low ranking socially, so they'd appreciate the increase in status Cloud was offering.
