Lou-pie: so I've been a little lazy updating lately, but that's because school has started again… dammit. And I've started my period this week which sucks, 'cause I'm going to be tired all the time and be mean to everyone. Even when I started typing this, I was in pain because the laptop was on my stomach, putting pressure… you know where… and I had to stop several times and take some pills to help with the pain… it's times like these I wish I were a guy and gay. I wonder what it's like being a guy who's gay? Would I be taller and be the seme; or would I stay small and be the uke? Kinda makes one think a lot about it.
Sephiroth: I rather keep the thought of you being a guy out of my head, thank you… (whispers) and you would definitely be the uke.
Lou: thanks for that input…
Cloud: could you guys go at least one story without getting on each other's nerves; it's rather troublesome.
Sephiroth and Lou: no!
Cloud:…

Chapter 12: Spend the holiday with love
Cloud woke slowly when something cold and wet touched his cheek, another soon touched his nose. Blue eyes fluttered open and looked up at the sky through the hole in the roof of the church, his eyes widening at what he saw. He sat up, his naked chest shivering at the cold air as he continued to look up and watch little white flakes float down to land on the flowers, floor boards, and on where he and his lover were laying. Another white flake fell onto the tip of his nose, making him giggle. It had been a while since he last saw snow and Midgar was known for its snowless winter months. Seeing it snow now was a wonderment and it excited the blond to no extent.
Sephiroth groaned beside him, the top of his silver head being the only thing visible at the moment. He moved to sit up, cursing at the chilling air when he did. The older vampire rubbed his sleepy eyes, blinking confusedly when something cold and wet touched his hand. He looked at his hand to see something white melting on it before another one joined its cousin to its melting fate, causing Sephiroth to look up and almost gasp at the sight above him. It was snowing through the roof, a rare sight to see in Midgar, but it didn't seem to bother his blond lover who was getting up and getting dressed so he could go outside and play in the snow.
Looking at his watch that sat near his shirt, Sephiroth saw that it was not even nine yet and yet… Cloud was ready to start the day. However, when the blond went to stand up, he doubled over in pain and put a hand over his lower back. Sephiroth couldn't help but chuckle at the reason why his blond was in pain, but the chuckle soon stopped at the murderous look Cloud was giving him over his shoulder. Sephiroth shuddered in fear at the look, never having seen it before and it scared him at what the blond might do to him for putting him pain. But the look soon lost its intensity and softened into one of happiness and pain; happiness of what they did last night and pain because of the burning agony in his anus and lower back.
"I didn't hurt you, did I?" Sephiroth asked, coming up beside Cloud to wrap his arms around him.
The blond shook his head. "No, just been a when a while since I last used it and you're… pretty big." He blushed, but snuggled into his lover's warmth. His blush grew when Sephiroth laughed, biting his lover's neck harshly to make him stop; but it backfired and turned Sephiroth on.
The silver haired vampire touched his neck where Cloud had bit him only to find blood on them when he pulled them away. The blond felt hunger well up in him at the sight of the taller man's blood and licked his lips, licking the two small wounds he gave Sephiroth. The pricks clotted quickly since they weren't deep and Cloud licked his way to another patch of skin over Sephiroth's jugular, biting down and moaning at the delicious taste of his lover. The older male moaned, running fingers down the blond vampire's back and between his cheeks, causing Cloud to hiss into his neck and bite down harshly in pain. Sephiroth felt that the other's hole was swollen and left it alone, feeling kind of bad because his size was difficult to take on the first couple of times.
"Sorry," Sephiroth whispered as he lay down on his back, dragging Cloud with him since the blond hadn't filled his hunger yet. "I hope I wasn't too harsh last night." He felt the other hum against his neck and lifted an eyebrow at how much blood his lover was consuming. "Someone must be hungry; you ate yesterday, didn't you?"
Cloud didn't answer until he swallowed several gulps and cleaned the wounds, his mouth filthy with Sephiroth's blood. "Yes, but I'm not drinking just because I'm hungry, I'm feeding so I can heal faster." He cleaned his mouth with his hand before cleaning the appendage with his tongue. Cloud sat up and turned around so his ass was facing Sephiroth, showing off his entrance. Sephiroth watched in amazement as the blond's entrance slowly, but surely, became less red and swollen, becoming a healthy pink again. "See?"
"Since when could drinking blood help heal wounds?" Sephiroth asked confusedly, watching the ring of muscles twitch, his dick giving a twitch back. He looked down at the blond's thigh to see that the bite mark he had given him last night was gone, not even a scar was left.
"Since vampires were made," Cloud replied as he got down on his elbows, his face a few inches above his lover's quickly hardening erection, gulping at the size. He grabbed the base and lowered his mouth to lick the thick, red head that had squeezed out a drop of clear jizz. It was salty, yet tangy from the alcohol that Sephiroth drank sometimes.
"I see," the older vampire hissed out. He grabbed the blond's cheeks in his hands and pulled them apart, lowering them nearer to his face so he could give a long lick across the tight ring of muscles, surprising the blond. "And it is still snowing out, you know." He gave another lick and gave a hum of delight at the taste, causing the blond to shiver in anticipation of what will most likely happen next.
Cloud pulled back, a drop of clear semen on his bottom lip. "I don't mind; kinda makes this more exciting." He felt the soft yet cold drops of snowflakes on his back as he went back to work on taking Sephiroth back into his mouth, but it was hard to concentrate on the task while the older vampire was tonguing his entrance. The blond could feel the other's semen wanting to slip out of his hole and he tried to hold it in, but Sephiroth's tongue felt so good that it started dripping out onto Sephiroth's wet muscle.
When he tasted himself on his tongue, Sephiroth pulled back to see his seed oozing out of Cloud's hole thickly to drip down his thigh slowly and meet up with his side since the blond's legs were hugging him. Sephiroth groaned lowly as he searched for the tube of lube, finding it underneath his pillow and warmed it up. Cloud had no idea what was going on behind him, too enthralled with sucking his lover off with his hands around the bits he couldn't reach. The silver haired vampire squeezed some of the liquid onto his fingers and warmed it up some more with his breath until he deemed it safe that it wouldn't chill the blond's hole.
Cloud gasped when he felt a lubed finger touch his entrance, circling around it and pressing against it as it waited for him to open up. The younger vampire relaxed and moaned when a long finger entered him up to its last knuckle, pulling away from Sephiroth's length so that he wouldn't bite it. He felt Sephiroth's digit feel around inside of him, looking for his most pleasuring spot that was not in its usual place as it should be. The finger felt at the sides then pressed towards his back, pressing against the nub it found there. Cloud gasped loudly, lowering himself until his chest touched the other's thighs.
Another finger was pushed in to help press against his g-spot, making Cloud cry out in pleasure. The blond blushed though when he felt the rest of Sephiroth's seed slip out of him when the silver haired male scissor his fingers before adding a third. The younger male was just as tight as last night, causing Sephiroth to lick his lips in yearning, loving the tight heat around his fingers and the other's delicious moans.
"You're prostate is in a rather odd spot," Sephiroth announced as he pressed against the nub harshly with his fingers, smirking at the loud yell Cloud gave. "And it seems more sensitive than it should be." He slipped his pinky in. "I'm going to make you die from pleasure right now." He took his fingers out when he felt that Cloud was ready, asking the blond to ride him in a position he felt was comfortable and would be most pleasurable.
The young blond kept his back to the older male as he took the lube and spread it thickly around the large dick with both hands, apologizing when he forgot to heat it up; but the cold liquid did nothing to Sephiroth's hard on. Cloud hurriedly raised his ass over his lover's dick and slowly pushed down, gasping when the head popped in quickly. He took his time to get every bit of Sephiroth inside him, thankful that the silver haired vampire stayed still even though it was most likely killing him by doing so. He was tight, Cloud knew that, and he could tell Sephiroth wanted nothing more than to thrust up and pound into him.
"Thanks," Cloud murmured when he was fully seated, sweat dripping down his body and forehead.
"What for?" Sephiroth asked as he sat up behind the blond and held him against his chest. He kissed his lover's neck lightly, his hands resting against Cloud's stomach, massaging the tight muscles held there.
"For being so gentle… for choosing me when there's so many other people out there willing to be with you." Cloud turned his head to the side and captured Sephiroth's lips with his own. It was light, just the touch of lips, but it held so much passion and love that it felt like Cloud was flying.
"I think we're what you call 'soul mates.'" The vision he had with the past Cloud came to mind, remembering how much love there was between them, and now that love was passed on to them. "It's a gift that Minerva gave us, but we were lucky that we actually found each other."
Cloud smiled at that, closing his eyes in happiness as a few tears slipped down his cheeks, leaning against Sephiroth's hold on him gladly. "Move, but gently."
Sephiroth obeyed, grinding up against the blond slowly and tenderly.
xxBLOODxx
Kadaj blinked when he opened the door, looking at Sephiroth, who was carrying a tired Cloud, oddly. "I don't even want to know." He stepped aside to let them in and closed the door after them, glancing at the large duffle bag Sephiroth was carrying on his back. He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts at what might have been in there. The teen watched his older brother set the blond down onto the couch next to Denzel, who almost looked horrified at the sight his brother was in, before setting the bag aside.
Yazoo, who was sitting on the ground against the couch, was nodding off before the two came and was now wide awake, ready to open presents. They were waiting for the couple to get back so they could open presents together like they traditionally do, but were almost ready to break that when Cloud and Sephiroth didn't show up until sometime after eleven. It was obvious why they were late by the way Cloud was sleepily leaning against the couch's armrest, eyes droopy and fighting to stay open. Everyone, except for Sephiroth and Yazoo, were blushing awkwardly, but kept themselves from saying anything.
"Shall we start?" Yazoo asked as he got up and went towards the corner of the living room where all the presents were piled, picking one up and waving it to emphasize what he meant. When everyone nodded, he handed the first box to Lucrecia before walking back to get another.
It went like that, from oldest to youngest, until all the gifts were unwrapped. Sephiroth was the one who got the least while Denzel got the most, most likely because he was new and everyone wanted to show their love for him.
Sephiroth received an electric razor, a new pair of leather pants, a new leather coat, and something from Cloud that he had yet to know since the blond asked him not to open it until later. Yazoo got some expensive hair products, new clothing, and gift cards; Lucrecia received some new clothes herself… a lot, some new shoes, make-up, and a new diamond ring from all her sons. Denzel got some video games, new clothing so he didn't have to wash what little amount he had every day, his own PSP, and his very own ITouch. Loz got some of the same things Sephiroth and Yazoo got while Cloud got mostly lube and condoms. The only thing that the blond vampire did get that wasn't lube or condoms was a pair of keys to the duplex and a pair of expensive boots that everyone pitched in. Kadaj pretty much got the same thing Denzel did, except for the ITouch and PSP.
Now there was wrapping paper all over the living room, causing Sephiroth to almost trip and fall ungracefully to the floor. The older brother immediately set to work on cleaning and stuffed several bags full of gift wrapping paper with the help from Denzel and Kadaj. Cloud was asleep by then, his head lolled to the side on the back of the couch, his arms wrapped loosely around his stomach. The older vampire shushed everyone before he picked up Cloud and carried him to his room, setting him on the bed to sleep.
xxLUSTxx
"This Christmas was splendid!" Lucrecia exclaimed as she set to work on making dinner, trying to keep quiet for Cloud. She smiled at her sons who were sitting on the couch and watching Kadaj and Denzel taking turns to play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood on the PS3. She giggled when Yazoo kept saying he wished he had a boyfriend like the main character, going into a dreamy state.
"Yes it was," Sephiroth replied and kissed his mother on the side of the head, wrapping an arm around her small frame. He had just finished putting Cloud into bed and was now helping his mother when he was needed. "I'm glad you're here mom."
"Me too. I also appreciate Cloud being here too as well as his brother; they're both adorable." Her eyes glistened in happiness as she looked at the young blond sitting on the floor. "I noticed that his roots are becoming darker the longer his hair grows… maybe his hair is dyed blond."
Sephiroth lifted an eyebrow and glanced at the young boy sitting next to Kadaj. "Hey Denzel?"
"Yeah?" Denzel called back without looking away from the screen since he was the one playing now.
"Is your hair dyed?"
"Yeah. My original hair color is light brown, why?"
"Just wondering." The silver haired vampire looked at his mother as if saying 'there's your answer,' which he received an eye roll and a light smile back. Sephiroth was finding it funny that his mother was talking in their language while he spoke in English.
It was silent, besides the game playing, for several moments before a thought came to Lucrecia. "How come Zack didn't come this morning?"
"He's spending it with Angeal and his family," Sephiroth answered as he picked up a piece of cookie dough and ate it. His vampire mother was making sugar cookies along with rich potato soup, which was cooking in the crockpot. Sephiroth earned a girlish hit from Lucrecia for eating the dough, making him laugh.
Feeling happy, Sephiroth looked around him to his brothers and adopted brother sitting around the TV, grins on their faces and giving Denzel complements at a job well done, while Lucrecia was making cookies and cooking the traditional Christmas dinner like the old days. The only thing missing was his lover Cloud, who was fast asleep on his bed. He felt kind of bad tiring the blond out, but the young vampire never complained, saying he enjoyed their love making very much.
"So did you and Cloud… connect last night?" Lucrecia asked slyly, snapping her son from his thoughts. She got to see the rare occasion of his son blushing, which caused her to giggle.
"Mom!" Sephiroth covered his face with a hand to hide his blush. He was glad the others weren't paying attention. "Yes… yes we did."
"Awwww." She hugged her son happily and had a large smile on her face as she went about the kitchen. Sephiroth left her alone with her cooking and stood beside the couch to watch Kadaj have a turn at playing, having some difficulty getting used to it.
When Kadaj failed a mission, he slumped dejectedly and handed it back to Denzel, which was quickly swiped away by Sephiroth, who now sat down cross-legged next to the young vampire. The silver haired vampire wasn't used to playing video games and was having some troubles on which button did which, looking down at his fingers from time to time. He died or failed several times, but Kadaj and Denzel let the man play until he was used to the controller and finally completed an easy mission. The blond vampire made to reach for the controller, but quickly pulled back when Sephiroth glared, letting the older male to continue playing. Loz and Yazoo laughed at this, finding how sucked in their older brother was into the game.
Two hours later and Sephiroth was still playing, getting much better and getting all 100 percent on each mission. Cloud was awake by then and was walking down the stairs when he saw his lover playing, his eyes wide at the sight of the silver haired vampire so concentrated on the game like it was his life. He even surprised the man when he put a hand on his shoulder, making him toss the controller that was quickly caught by Denzel. Everyone couldn't help but laugh at that, not even Sephiroth's glare could stop them; it was so hilarious by the way he was acting.
"Geez, the game isn't your life you know," Cloud teased with a small smile before he yawned and stretched. He chuckled when Sephiroth gave him an annoyed pout that was quite difficult to see. "I've never seen you play video games before."
"That's because I found them wasteful and useless," Sephiroth uttered, standing up to stretch, working his cramped hands. "Until this game came along… I've never found an assassin game that was so accurate. It's… addicting."
"I'll say," Kadaj mumbled. "He played for two hours straight."
Cloud slowly turned towards Sephiroth with an odd look, an eyebrow raised. "… really?" When everyone nodded, the blond looked away and snickered. He noticed Sephiroth becoming uncomfortable and waved him over to hug and kiss him lightly on the lips. "Don't worry; I was addicted to Kill Zone for a time and I beat the whole game in two days. Then I got the second one and beat that in four." He gave another kiss, this one lingering a little longer.
Lucrecia held back a squeal as she watched the scene, smiling widely. The others were concentrating on the TV to ignore the two, Denzel playing but messed up a few times until he failed and gave it to Kadaj. Cloud flushed and pulled back and gently grabbed Sephiroth's hand to pull him upstairs after grabbing the long rectangular box and putting it under his arm. The blond had Sephiroth sit on the bed before he handed the long box, about six feet long, to him, sitting next to him.
The silver haired male unwrapped it and used a pocket knife that was sitting on his knight stand to open one end of it, grabbing something metal and sharp. He quickly pulled out his hand before he could cut it and turned the box upside down at an angle to let whatever was inside slip out onto the floor gently. When the last bit was out and in Sephiroth's hand, the taller vampire gaped at the object, eyes widening at the familiar looking handle he was holding. It was a long katana, about five feet long with a dark red wrapped handle. A vision of his past self fighting his father with the same sword flew across his mind.
"Do you like it?" Cloud asked in concern, seeing the look Sephiroth was making.
"H-how did you get this?" Sephiroth stuttered, his eyes never leaving the sword.
"It's been passed down the Strife family for generations. My grandfather gave it to me before I left for college, saying that it would become important one day and it feels right giving this to you, like I'm giving something back." Cloud paused as he saw Sephiroth's becoming clouded with some kind of emotion that the blond couldn't tell. "You know, my last name only became Strife because of my grandparents. If they hadn't taken me in, I would still be Cloud Tibias." He gave a nervous laugh, hoping it would lighten up the mood, but he soon frowned when he could no longer see his lover's face, silver bangs hiding it. "Sephiroth?"
"Cloud…"
"… yes?"
"I have something I need to tell you that I should have told you before." Sephiroth took in a shuddered breath, leaning his head back with his eyes closed to hold his tears back. When he felt like he could go on, Sephiroth continued after he turned his head to look at the small vampire. "Remember that one morning where I woke up with a start and kissed you suddenly like you were going to leave me?"
"Yeah…"
"Something… happened."
"Like what?"
"… I met Minerva… a-and I saw my past self's life… well just a part of it."
"…" Cloud said nothing but gave his lover an odd look.
"She took me back in time so I could see how vampires really came about and it was because of me and you."
"What?" Cloud was starting to become nervous and looked at Sephiroth like he was crazy without meaning too. "What do you mean?"
"Minerva took me back in time and I basically relived some of my past self's life. I still had the same name back then and was from Leviathan and was the first explorer to visit Japan. I met you, the empress of Japan, and we fell in love. But… my father came after me to bring me back to Leviathan and we fought when I didn't agree with him. I died killing him and I left you behind when you were pregnant with our first child." Sephiroth took a shuddering breath as a couple of tears slipped down his cheeks. "Cloud… you were the one who couldn't stand having your lover dead and tried to bring me back to life. Minerva was angry and took my soul so I could never be reincarnated, but I escaped from her… now here I am, back with my soul mate."
Cloud was now crying, looking at the silver haired male to see if he was joking, but he found nothing but truth. Now he knew why his lover was so scared that one day and couldn't help but feel the same after learning about what horrors Sephiroth had seen. However, Cloud didn't know what all this had to do with the sword.
Sephiroth seemed to have seen it on the blond vampire's face. "This katana was my past self's weapon, the one that killed his father."
Eyes widening, Cloud looked at the sword in a new light. The story that had been told to him and Sephiroth when they were children was true and the story said that it began during the B.C. era; so the sword was pretty old, but still looked pretty much new aside from the small amount of rust near the handle. The blade was a little loose, but it was handled with care by the obvious way it shined in the light, telling the silver haired vampire that it was kept clean.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Sephiroth wiped the tears from his eyes after he laid the sword aside on the bed behind him, looking at his blond lover to see him crying silently. He didn't expect to be suddenly hugged, but accepted it gratefully and returned the embrace.
"No, don't be sorry. I can see why you didn't want to tell me," the smaller male replied with a small sob, his shoulders shaking from trying to hold back his crying. "Why… why did Minerva want to show you that?"
"She said it was because of who I am and that I needed to see it for myself… or at least she said that in a different manor, but that's what she meant. But she's also a bitch who took her control a little overboard." This earned him a weak laugh. Sephiroth's tears stopped and he held Cloud sadly, feeling the hurt the blond felt inside.
"I love you," Cloud murmured. "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you; so much that it hurts at the thought of what you've been through. I just want to cry every time I think of you d-dyeing." He sniffed and straddled Sephiroth's lap, holding him tighter around his neck. The taller vampire returned the squeeze, starting to feel better with each 'I love you's.
"I love too, Cloud. I love you so greatly that I feel the same way. I've… never been so in love with someone before that I'm willing to do anything for you." Sephiroth moved his head away from Cloud's chest to kiss him tenderly on the lips. He could taste salt from the blond's tears on his lips and he wanted to take his lover's pains away by showing how much he loved him by joining them together again, only this time more tenderly and slowly.
(outside the door)
Lucrecia smiled sadly, tears threatening to fall down her cheeks as she walked away towards the bathroom, which was her first destination in the first place. She would have used the one downstairs, but it was occupied. She was walking pass by her oldest son's door when she heard her son talking about Minerva, catching her attention. It explained everything, why her son was so in love with the blond, why he was scared about losing him; it just all made sense and it scared her endlessly of what Minerva could be like. It also made her happy at how much adoration her son held for Cloud, that he would do anything for him, maybe even put his life on the line for the blond.
Blinking back the tears, Lucrecia did her business and walked downstairs to grab the phone before walking right back up and into the bathroom again. She sat down on the edge of the counter and dialed a certain number that had her trembling that she almost messed up. The old woman sniffed as the phone rang, praying that it would pick up.
"Hello, Crescent's office," a young woman answered professionally in Japanese.
"Hey Yuki, it's me," Lucrecia replied, smiling at the other woman's voice; it was nice to hear it again after so long.
"Lucrecia? Is that you?"
"Yes it is sweetie."
"I miss you so much; I need you guidance still, there's so much going on right now that I'm having difficulty without you here." There was a small sniff on the other line, letting Lucrecia know that she was indeed missed.
"I'm sorry honey. I miss you too. But I need to talk to my husband, is he busy?"
"Not at the moment, let me tell him you're on line three."
"Don't tell him it's me! Just say that it's someone important."
"Ok."
Lucrecia waited, biting her lip in nervousness. She didn't know what to say. Just say what's in your heart, tell him what you've always wanted to say but never had the courage to. She nodded to herself just as a deep voice answered.
"This is Shiro."
"Hey."
"… Lucrecia?" The man's voice shook with obvious astonishment. "Wha-why are you calling?" He didn't sound angry, just surprised and questioning. He had most likely missed her.
"I… I just wanted to say that I love you. I love you so much even though I'm angry by the way you treated our sons. You've been too hard on them and they never knew if you loved them enough or not. I was the one who had to reassure them even though I didn't know myself, which scares me. I have kept quiet about this, but not anymore! Sephiroth has become a brilliant man and is keeping his brothers well fed with the help of his lover Cloud. You remember him; the blond who you threw the food at, which I am not happy about that.
"You need to get off your high horse and stop acting so, so childlike when nothing goes your way! Life will always have its hardships and you'll just have to accept it, like how you need to accept our sons for the way they are. They are wonderful to hang around with and fun to talk to. They show their love for me, but show their dislike for you. If you want to keep this family… come to us and apologize and accept them for who they are. If you want, love, us… show us."
She hung up, leaning her face against the back of the phone. Lucrecia let the tears flow just as the door creaked open, making her look up to see Denzel and Kadaj standing there. The three of them stared at each other before Denzel made the first move and hugged Lucrecia, telling her Kadaj had heard everything and translated for him. Kadaj was standing next to them until he was suddenly pulled into the hug; blushing at how close he was to Denzel (he had yet to get over it and his affection for the young vampire grew even though they agreed to be just friends).
They stayed like that for several minutes, finally letting go when Yazoo called for them that the soup was ready and that he was starving.
"Don't tell anyone about this, ok?" Lucrecia demanded gently in English, earning nods of agreement. She got up and walked towards Sephiroth's room and knocked. She heard nothing and decided to open it, smiling when saw that it was empty. They need some time alone… "Alright, I'll be right down!" She gave one last smile at the empty room before closing it.
Lou-pie: damn, sorry it took so long, been having writer's blocks. I only like the ending part of this chapter because it's so cheesy and romantic. I'll try getting the next one up faster. But I will be posting my new story, so accept that as an apology. And I'm almost to a hundred reviews, just twelve more! Come one guys, let's try and get it to one-hundred with this chapter!
