#14 – Indulge
Treat your lover nicely. Give them what they want. Let them have their little pleasures. Why not join in on the fun as well?
The rain hadn't let up for a single second since morning, and the temperature had plummeted considerably in a short period of time. Thankfully, it was the weekend and neither Cloud nor Leon had any place to go. And even if they had, there was a very scarce chance they'd forsake the warmth of their home, their bodies close together, Cloud's arm around Leon's shoulders, the brunet's head burrowing where neck meets shoulder, sitting on the couch watching whatever was on TV, this laziness and comfort for anything less than an extreme emergency.
Hey, babe?, asked Leon, receiving a questioning hum in return. Bliss turned Cloud into a less vocal man than he already was. Can I read your mind?, the older man smiled. I don't know, Lee, can you?, the blond craned his neck trying to look at his lover's face, eyebrows shooting upwards.
Leon got up, immediately craving his lover's body warmth, kissed Cloud's lips with a smile and said, I'm sure I can. He padded through the cold floor towards the kitchen. He took a few moments, going through cabinets and drawers, searching for something with a combination of anxiousness to see his lover's reaction and an eagerness to regain lost heat, quickly finding it.
When he returned, Cloud was purposely avoiding looking at him, preferring instead to watch TV, darting his eyes in a way he hoped was inconspicuous, but was rather noticeable to one who took pleasure in learning what every facial expression and body stance the blond made meant like Leon did. This particular exhibition had "curiosity" and "eagerness" written all over it.
He sat down next to his lover and dropped a box with chocolates on his lap – milk chocolates with a caramel filling, his favourite. Cloud's eyes widened and he no longer tried to hide his curiosity. He started to grin, Lee, is that for me?, he asked. Of course, babe, all for you.
The blond swordsman quickly took the lid off, but before he could take one out, Leon's hand had done it for him, Let me., he said. The brunet took the chocolate to Cloud's lips and let it rest there, sliding from side to side, smearing the man's lips. Cloud's tongue cleaned it off, but not efficiently enough in Leon's opinion, so he took it upon himself to properly handle any trace of chocolate on his lover's lips, lapping at it with his tongue, enveloping the sweet treat into a kiss. He got distracted, and he didn't notice that the chocolate in his hand had started to melt, but Cloud did and he was vehemently against any waste of such a delicious food, so he grabbed the brunet's hand and licked the melted chocolate from his fingers, slowly letting the flavour spread across his tongue, sweetening his mouth in an teasingly leisure pace, surrounding Leon's fingers with his mouth and humming his approval.
Leon wasn't a huge fan of chocolate, but if things progressed from here, he was sure Cloud would make it his favourite food, to the point of not wanting to taste another thing. Sadly, wanting something to happen doesn't always make it happen, as was pointedly proved by their pet chocobo Antsy when it jumped onto Cloud's lap and started pecking inquisitively at a piece of chocolate, ruining any chance of follow up.
