Blinking, Reno turned over and looked up at Cloud in confusion. "What are you talking about? I do let you love me." He didn't understand. Damn the blonde for speaking romantically when he was tired!! Cloud jus closed his eyes softly and leaned forward, pressing his lips against Reno's gently. Eyes fluttering shut, Reno parted his lips, allowing Cloud to taste him. "... oh..." He mumbled when they finally parted. Reaching up, he placed his hand on Cloud's cheek, finally understanding. "Are you sure? What about your injury?"

"Shh." Cloud whispered, rolling Reno to his back and straddling his hips carefully, shutting the redhead with another kiss.

Shivering, Reno pulled back from the kiss and smiled. "Okay then... but..." Reaching up, he gently turned Cloud back onto his back, trailing his wet lips down Cloud's throat to nestle into the side of his neck, nipping and sucking. "Let me apologize…"

Cloud fluttered his eyes closed, letting out a small breath. "It's not needed to..." he whispered, gasping at a particularly hard nip.

Sucking down hard, Reno trailed his hands down Cloud's sides, gripping his boxers and pulling them down. "I want to." He mumbled, trailing a line of kisses down the blond's chest, pausing to nip and lick one hardened nipple, gently pinching the other.

"Ngh..." the blond whimpered softly, keeping it down. Tifa and the kids were sleeping already.

Raising his head, Reno chuckled. "Shh..." Before dipping back down to lick a path down the blond's chest, nipping gently at his hips. "Don't wake them up."

"I'm trying..." Cloud whispered, kicking his boxers away before spreading his legs, allowing Reno to settle comfortably between them.

Humming, Reno trailed a path down Cloud's thigh with his tongue, nibbling his inner thighs. "Try harder." He mumbled, nipping gently at the other's sac, one hand gripping the base of the blond's dick as he ran his tongue up the base to lap gently at the head, tasting the gathering fluids there. Cloud raised his head to watch Reno, not only to take on the sight before him but to search for any signs of discomfort on his lover's face. Catching Cloud's eyes, Reno smirked before placing a descending kisses onto his throbbing member, moaning slowly as he slowly deep-throated him, pulling up quickly, just to bob his head down again, swirling his tongue around the hot length in his mouth, not once taking his eyes off of his lover's baby blue eyes.

Cloud bit his lips to stifle a moan, letting his head fall back limply. "Shiva..." He breathed. Chuckling, Reno swallowed Cloud whole and moaned, knowing the vibrations would drive the other up the wall. Bobbing his head quickly, he reached down and took a firm grip on Cloud's ass, pulling him up, swallowing more of the heated flesh, scraping his teeth gently before pulling up to dab the slit with his tongue, sucking gently. The younger man swallowed a gasp, grinding against Reno. "S-stop it..." Close. Too close and it had been too long.

Pausing, Reno released the other and lifted his head, licking his lips. "What? Did I do something wrong?"

Cloud swallowed and pulled himself to a sitting position, moving Reno to his lap and kissing him gently but firmly. "Need you." Cloud breathed against Reno's lips, gently scratching the redhead's sides.

Shuddering, Reno nodded, arching up as the smallest action of Cloud's hands sending tingles up his spine. "Ri-right…" He had forgotten that they needed Cloud's sperm for the children. The blond pressed his lips against Reno's once more, softly moaning into the kiss as he slowly and carefully removed Reno's boxers with a hand, the other moving to take off the man's hair tie and rubbing his scalp. Shivering, Reno pulled back from the kiss and gave his lover a smile. It looked like there was no rush today. Leaning back in, he pressed their lips together, sighing happily at the gentle contact, whimpering softly as his boxers and hair tie were removed, loving the gently ministrations upon his head.

Laying Reno on his back, Cloud carefully settled between the man's long legs, never breaking their kiss as he reached for the first drawer to get the lube. "How is it?" he asked, breaking the kiss as he had the need to breathe.

Panting lightly, Reno tilted his head to the side, unbound hair flowing around him as he blinked. "How is what?" He asked, leaning up for another kiss. "The babies…? Or the pace…? Cause both are wonderful yo."

"I meant the feeling of being touched." The blond swallowed. "Are you alright so far?" he asked gently.

Smiling softly, Reno gently kissed Cloud's lips. "I only see you, Cloud. I only feel you." Pulling back, he blushed lightly. "I want to feel more... heal me?" He asked, holding a hand out.

Cloud smiled and took Reno's hand, kissing it gently as he leaned over and took hold of the lube, coating three fingers with it. "Ready?"

Moaning lightly, Reno nodded and lay back, spreading his legs. "Always..." He would never be afraid of Cloud. "Love me..." He whispered. Cloud smiled softly, rubbing a slick finger against Reno's entrance before inserting it slowly into his lover's body, eyes sharp as he looked for any kind of sign in Reno's face. Moaning softly, Reno arched his hips up, shivering lightly at the familiar feeling of his lover's finger slowly slicking up his insides. He missed this. Closing his eyes for a moment, he hummed and opened them back up, looking up at Cloud. The blond smiled tenderly once more, leaning down to press his lips lovingly against his lover.

So far, so good…

Sighing, happily, Reno kissed back, parting his lips as in invitation as he slowly rocked his hips along with the other's thrusts. Cloud let his tongue enter Reno's mouth, brushing their tongues together as he started rubbing a second finger against Reno's entrance. Moaning, Reno gave Cloud's tongue a little nip, spreading his legs a bit wider. Pulling back from the kiss, He smiled and leaned up to give Cloud's ear a little nip, sucking the soft cartilage gently, hands scratching lightly up and down his back. Purring softly into the kiss, the blond arched his back at Reno's caresses and deepened the kiss slightly, pressing his second finger inside.

Reno groaned at the sudden intrusion, bucking up with a slight mewl. "Cloud..." Shuddering, the redhead leaned back up to suck and nip gently at the other's arched neck, hands still scratching lightly. Cloud stilled his finger, just moving it around a bit while he waited for Reno to adjust, exploring Reno's mouth in the meanwhile. Wiggling, Reno kissed Cloud back, licking and nipping gently at his soft lips. "Cloud..." He sighed after a few moments, lifting his hips. "More... please..." Cloud nodded with a small, content sigh, pushing his second finger in a bit more. Whimpering softly, the redhead lifted his hips again, panting lightly, a bit of sweat falling down his face.

"How do you feel? Does it hurt?" Cloud whispered, nibbling Reno's neck and licking a path to the redhead's collarbone.

Letting loose another small whimper, Reno shook his head. "No... I only feel pleasure..." That was a lie. There was a bit of a sting but that was just from his recent run. Pausing for a moment, he began to chuckle. "The kids are quiet yo." He whispered, putting Cloud's free hand on his stomach, allowing him to feel.

Cloud chuckled. "They don't want to interrupt their parents' 'bounding'." he joked, kissing the bump as he stretched Reno. He would have to work him for a while: he could feel a lot of resistance.

Laughing lightly, Reno thrust back against Cloud's fingers, aiding him. "That would be a bit strange... To feel them moving…" He grinned, petting the lump. "They just wanna get fed."

"That sounds so wrong..."

"Which part? The moving or the feeding…? Cause both creep me out."

"Feeding... what would people say when they know that I feed my unborn children with sperm...?"

Reno blinked, then snorted softly in laughter. "I don't know but now I wanna try it and see."

Cloud chuckled, leaning down to kiss Reno gently. "Don't."

Still snickering, Reno pulled back and raised a hand to gently paw at the blonde, batting his hair. "Aww… Yer no fun..."

Cloud smiled, brushing his fingers against Reno's prostrate. "I know."

Gasping, Reno bucked up lightly, small sounds of pleasure filling the air. "A-again..."

"Shh..." Cloud shushed gently, brushing the redhead's sensitive spot once more.

Biting his lip with a shudder, Reno arched his back, gripping the sheets tightly. "So-sorry... can't help it..."

"Then I'll help you." Cloud whispered latching his mouth to Reno's firmly but gently. He continued to prepare his lover until he felt him adjust; only brushing his third finger against Reno's entrance when the hot muscle around his two fingers didn't offer any resistance.

Moaning deeply, Reno arched up and thrust back, groaning into Cloud's mouth. It had been a long time since they had done anything like this. Soft and slow... Usually it was fast romps or long periods of teasing. This was a nice change. Reaching up, he ran his fingers through soft blonde hair, gripping it with soft tugs, ready for more.

The blond slowly pushed his third finger inside, gently scratching Reno's side to sooth any pain. Shuddering at the scratch, Reno tugged the soft locks a bit harder, groaning loudly at the slight sting, forcing his body to relax. "Sorry." Cloud whispered, biting Reno's tongue gently and sucking on it as he stopped his fingers.

Groaning lightly, the redhead nipped back, soothing the bite with a slow lick before pulling back. "It's okay." He whispered, cupping Cloud's cheek, running his thumb across the jaw gently. "Keep going." Cloud nodded and pushed inside a little further as he nibbled Reno's fingers, taking on into his mouth and sucking it, bobbing his head up and down the digit. Reno watched the blond's movements, chuckling lightly. "I remember that." He closed his eyes with a shudder, remembering just WHERE his talented lover and his hurricane tongue usually worked their magic. Cloud fluttered his eyes closed and smirked, licking the digit from the base to the very tip before swallowing it again, sucking hard. Moaning loudly, Reno pulled his hand back, gasping lightly at he whispered. "Keep that up and I'm gonna start demanding something out of you…"

"Anything..." Anything for his lover, Cloud thought as he moved the three digits inside the other.

Blushing, Reno moaned and bucked up lightly. "Ma-maybe later…" He chuckled. "Yo-you're a little occupied right now..."

The blond nodded. "… You're ready." Cloud smiled softly, removing his fingers before smirking. "So that makes me free." He whispered, licking a wet path down to Reno's belly button.

Squeaking in surprise, Reno sucked in a breath, releasing it slowly as he tried not to whine, not wanting to wake anyone up. "Wh-what?" He mumbled, confused. But the thought soon fled, the sensation of a warm, wet tongue across his navel making him groan.

Cloud smirked, nuzzling his nose against Reno's hard length. "You'll like it." He assured, starting to nibble the base of Reno's cock. Flinching, Reno whimpered and raised his legs, framing Cloud between them as he groaned, reaching down to run his fingers through soft blonde locks once more, his other hand twisted in the sheets. The blond placed a small kiss on Reno's hand before starting to lick the head of the redhead's cock, tasting his lover's pre-cum on it. "Delicious..." He moaned lowly, taking the engorged head into his mouth and sucking, not wanting to waste his lover's seed.

Crying out softly, Reno raised the hand gripping the sheets to clamp it over his mouth, muffling any other sounds that he might make. Groaning lowly, he bucked up, hand momentarily tightening its grip before loosening, trembling fingers massaging the blond's scalp instead. Cloud sighed through his nose, moaning softly as he took Reno completely into his mouth, red curls tickling his nose. Crying out loudly into his hand, Reno shook. The warm feeling and sucking of his lover's mouth and tongue sending waves of delight through him, making his body quiver and shake.

Cloud pulled back and bit Reno's thigh to scold the redhead, lowering a hand to stroke his own half-hard cock. Whining sharply, Reno whimpered and moved his hand away, pouting. "Be nice..."

"Be quiet..." Cloud smirked, nibbling the large vein on his lover's dick. Tossing his head back, Reno clamped his hand over his mouth just in time to catch another yelp, hand leaving Cloud's hair in favor of grasping the pillow by his head as he panted, a bit of fluid dribbling down his heated length. Cloud quickly licked it, eyeing the thin line of cum linking his tongue to his lover's cock before swallowing it. Bucking up once more, Reno whimpered, feeling his cock begin to shake. "Cl-Cloud..." He mumbled, tugging once more on the blond's hair, warning him.

Said blond bobbed his head up and down a few more times before pulling back with a breath, licking his lips slowly. "Up to the next step…?" He asked almost carefully.

Panting and trembling, Reno whimpered and nodded, reaching up with shaking hands to pull Cloud down for kiss. "Yes..." Cloud closed his eyes as he kissed his lover, blindingly reaching for the lube and spurting quite an amount of it onto his hand: he wouldn't take risks. Groaning against the other's lips, Reno smiled at the sound of the bottle of lube opening again and shifted, knowing what was coming next. Cloud then placed his hand onto his cock, slicking it with the cool gel and getting himself fully hard as a long, soft breath left his lips.

Licking his lips, Reno reached out and gently took hold of Cloud's shaft, aiding him in slicking it. "Let me..."

Cloud nodded with his eyes partially closed, blue orbs clouded with desire. "Go ahead." he whispered through full, parted lips.

Gulping, Reno began to pump his hand, the cool gel making his movements slick and smooth. "Kiss me…" He murmured, trailing his fingers from the base of Cloud's cock to the head, pinching lightly to gather the fluids there before thrusting back down. Smirking softly, the blond leaned forward and pressed his lips against Reno's, licking them gently before taking the lower one into his mouth, sucking and nibbling on it gently. The redhead shuddered softly; fastening his hand's movements, adding just enough pressure that he knew would make the other moan. "Tell me when." He mumbled, lightly scratching the vein lining the hard muscle in his hands. Cloud moaned softly into Reno's mouth, his hands twisting the bed sheets beneath them. Chuckling, Reno moved his hand faster, adding a bit more pressure. The blond thrust into Reno's hand, pulling back breathlessly. "A-ah... Reno." he breathed. "Stop..."

Chucking once more, Reno nodded and released Cloud. "I told you to tell me when." He whispered, a naughty light shining in his eyes.

Cloud growled softly, kissing Reno's cheek and settling comfortably between the man's legs. "Are you really sure of this? We can stop whenever you want."

"Yes, I'm sure." The Turk understood Cloud's concern but they couldn't stop now. Who knew when they would get another chance like this? Shifting, he spread his legs wider, planting his feet firmly in the bed. "If I get uncomfortable, I'll say stop."

"Okay." Cloud nodded, rubbing the head of his hard member against his lover's entrance, slowly he starting to push inside, keeping his eyes locked on his lover's. Sucking in a breath, Reno released it slowly, keeping his gaze on his lover's beautiful blue eyes. Blinking, he flinched when Cloud's image was replaced by a sneering, lust filled one, sighing when it disappeared a moment later.

Cloud stopped, leaning down to kiss Reno's brow. "You okay?" he whispered gently, nuzzling their noses together.

Closing his eyes, Reno hummed and nodded. "Fine..." The image was gone now and all he could see was Cloud. His angel, lover, savior... Opening his eyes, he gave the other a love filled gaze. "All i see is you." Cloud smiled gently and kissed Reno lovingly, taking the redhead's mind off any bad thought he might had been having before resuming his pushing. Whimpering gently, the red head shuddered, moaning softly when he felt Cloud slowly enchasing himself into his hot body. Leaning up for another kiss, he groaned, the other filling him to the hilt. Breaking the kiss, he lied back down and took a few deep breaths, adjusting.

"Good?" The younger man whispered, gently massaging Reno's shoulders, neck and scalp to help him relax.

Reno mewled softly, purring at the attention and nodded. "Hmm... yea... I'm fine..."

"Tell me when you're ready baby..."

Shifting a bit, Reno sighed and relaxed his muscles, bucking up a few times. "Hmm... Ready..."

"You sure…? No pain?"

"Not a bit."

Cloud nodded. "Okay then." he whispered, nibbling on Reno's earlobe as he slowly pulled back before sliding back into his lover's hot, tight body. Groaning lowly, Reno tilted his head to the side, mewling lightly at the nips, raising his hips to meet Cloud's thrusts. Cloud set up a nice pace, not too slow but yet gentle.

"Hmm… this is nice…" Reno sighed, matching each of the blond's thrusts in the middle. "Been a while since we've done it this way." he mumbled, leaning up to place sweet, wet kisses on the other's neck.

"Yeah..." Cloud whispered back, gently nibbling the skin behind Reno's ear. Moaning gently, Reno bit down on his lip to muffle any other sounds. Some days he cursed himself for being a screamer. Flinching, he bit down a bit harder to hold back the pleased gasp that wanted to escape when his prostate was brushed. Cloud smirked and aimed to keep hitting the sweet spot inside his lover, rubbing his hips gently as he licked a wet path down the other's neck and starting to nibble on his collarbone.

Crying out softly, the redhead whimpered, panting lightly. "Cl-Cloud..." Gasping lightly, he tilted his head to the side, shivering when the cool air hit the saliva trail the other left. The blond licked and nibbled another path up to Reno's swollen lips, gently sliding his tongue inside the redhead's sweet mouth to keep him quiet as he gently snaked his arms around Reno's hips, raising them slightly so that he could thrust deeper. Reno gasped, reaching up to clutch tightly to Cloud's arms, panting lightly as he moaned, the sound still a bit loud, even muffled. Whining softly, he thrust back a bit harder, body shivering lightly at the small spikes of pleasure running up his spine over and over again.

Cloud couldn't stop a moan from escaping his throat as well, being lower than Reno's but still audible. "Shiva…" he whispered against his lover's lips, covering them with sweet, feathery, chaste little kisses as he snaked between their bodies to take Reno's cock into his hand, slowly stroking it in time with his thrusts.

"Fuck!" Reno swore softly, lips trembling under the force of Cloud's kisses. Whimpering gently, he leaned forward, pressing his own hot lips against Cloud's sweaty chest, licking up the salty substance. Purring gently, he sucked on one of the blond's hardened nubs, biting down slightly with a pleased cry. "Cloud... faster..." the blond fluttered his eyes closed and fastened his pace, both of his thrusts and movements of his hand. Leaning up, Reno quickly pressed their lips together to muffle his cry, legs trembling a bit as he met his partner thrust for thrust, clenching tightly each time.

"Shit..." Cloud hissed lowly, tightening his grip on Reno's cock and stroking him more fiercely. "Come with me..." he panted, feeling sweat trickle down his temples. Keening lightly, Reno nodded, leaning up to latch his lips onto the other's once again to catch his cry of release. He was close, he could feel it. Squiggling a bit, he moaned, feeling a line of fluid dribble down his shaking member, another trailing down his backside. He was going to need a shower after this. "Reno." Cloud said with a needy whisper, closing his eyes tightly as he gripped his teeth to swallow his cry of release as he came deeply inside the other, feeling Reno clench around his twitching cock and the redhead's member exploding on his hand, covering it and its owner's chest with seed. "S-shit..." The blond panted, letting his shoulders slump as he panted harshly, feeling his brow twitch slightly at the sting on his heart. Freaking mako-enhanced orgasm...

Gasping, Reno panted lightly, head lolling back on the pillows as he caught his breath. Moaning a few moments later, he lifted his head, leaning over to nuzzle Cloud's face. "... You okay yo?" Was that too much?

Cloud nodded, carefully removing himself from inside his lover and laying down next to him. "Y-yeah... just tired."

The redhead immediately rolled over, curling up as close as he could get to his lover's side. "I'm sleepy too..." He mumbled, resting his head gently on the blond's chest.

"We should clean up." Cloud whispered gently; pressing small, sweet little kisses on Reno's cheekbone as he felt his lover's hand come to his heart, rub the skin there tenderly.

Humming, Reno kept running his hand gently over the patch of skin, leaning over to kiss the soft flesh. "Later. I just want to lie with you for a while..."

Cloud smiled gently, petting his lover's hair. "Alright." He whispered. Seemingly, everything seemed to have worked out just fine.

Nodding, Reno curled closer and yawned. Raising his head, he looked up at his lover, an odd gleam in his eyes. "Cloud... Were you... was I..." He bit his lip, looking down. "Was I different?" he finally managed to whisper

The blond shook his head. "No. you were always Reno. My sweet, beautiful Reno..." He whispered tenderly, gently caressing Reno's face. Biting his lip a bit harder, the redhead sniffed, shoulders shaking as he nodded, relief flooding through him. Sniffing again, Reno raised a hand and placed it over his mouth, sobbing lightly as he smiled. "Hey..." Cloud whispered, embracing his lover. "Don't cry..."

"I... I'm not sad…" hiccupping, Reno sniffed and wiped his eyes, resting his head on Cloud's chest. "… I thought I was different." He admitted a few moments later. "I thought I was broken, sullied, disgusting... it's just... I'm just relieved that you still love me... even after everything that happened."

"Of course that i love you, you idiot... as if i would find you disgusting for what happened." Cloud frowned softly, using a finger to tilt Reno's head up so that he could look into his lover's eyes. "I love you... and will always do, no matter what happens. Not even death can break this feeling apart." He smiled, kissing Reno's soft lips.

Whimpering against the other's lips, Reno sobbed lightly, leaning up to deepen the kiss. "I love you..." He mumbled against the other's lips. Pulling back a few moments later, he smiled and rubbed at his eyes. "Hey... wanna see something?" Leaning over, he dug through the drawer next to the bed and came back with the sketchbook, handing it to the blonde. "I added one today. Take a look." Leaning over, he watched the blonde flip through a few pages. "Actually I added a few." He smiled at the one of Cloud, Tifa and the kids all laughing together on the couch, Zexion and Marluxia cooking pancakes in the kitchen, Marly and Vexen kissing. Squeaking loudly, he reached over and quickly flipped the page after Cloud landed on the picture on them in... Questioning positions. "Ahem... yes. Here we go!" Still a deep scarlet, he pointed at the oldest picture. "This one... it's not my best since I had to make it up but... i tried..."

Cloud blinked and then smiled brightly, examining the drawn faces of their children. "They're beautiful." He whispered in awe. "Just..." He pouted playfully. "Why does our baby girl have pink hair? She looks like Marlu's daughter, not mine." He sighed softly, grinning.

"... She does?" Peeking over, Reno tilted his head to the side and examined the picture. Pink hair... light blue eyes... "... dear lord, she does..." Snickering, Reno shook his head. "I was trying to figure out what our hair colors would be combined yo." He explained, blushing. "And I got pink... and I gave her daddy's eyes..."

Cloud smiled softly, leaning forward to kiss Reno's lips tenderly. "I love it and I don't care how she looks. She could look like Barret and Sephiroth's daughter and I would still love her."

Pulling back from the kiss, Reno raised an eyebrow and snickered. "Barret and Sephiroth…? Really…? Wow..." Blinking, the redhead winced. "Erk… just thought about it..."

"Yeah, sorry..." Cloud cringed as well. Eww, just... eww…

"... Who would be the mom…?"

".... Sephiroth. Barret glowing and in maternity clothes... Oh man, I think I'm going to be sick... Ugh..."

Reno shuddered, reaching down to grab a pillow and smash it over his face. "EWW!!"

"Shh....!" Cloud chuckled. "You'll wake up the others!"

"Don't you tell me to shh!" Reno hissed, taking the pillow away. "I'm scarred for LIFE!!"

"And you think I'm not??"

"Serves you right."

Cloud pouted. "Sorry...:"

Giggling, Reno leaned up and kissed Cloud's cheek. "It's okay…"

The blond smiled, holding Reno's face close to his. "Thanks. Love ya."

"Love you too." Yawning lightly, Reno reached up to run a hand through Cloud's hair. "Wanna sleep?"

"We should clean first.... Dried cum is a pain to clean." Cloud sighed tiredly, getting up and going to the bathroom, coming back after a while with a damp cloth. "C'mere, let me clean you:"

Humming gently, Reno nodded and scooted closer to Cloud, reaching out for the cloth. "I can do it." The blonde must be tired. They did have a long day and he could take care of himself.

Cloud shook his head, starting to clean his lover. "Nope. I'll do it." he smiled, kissing Reno's forehead gently.

The redhead sighed. "Kay..." He didn't really mind. It felt good to be fussed over every once in a while.

The blond gently cleaned his lover, placing occasional soft kisses on Reno's neck and shoulders as he worked. "There." he said, throwing the cloth over his shoulder before lying down, pulling his lover with him. "All clean."

"You're gonna have to get that tomorrow." Reno mumbled, curling up in Cloud's arms, smiling gently when a few soft kicks hit him. "There they go again..." Chuckling, he reached down and placed his palm on his stomach.

Cloud smiled, crawling to gently rest his cheek on his lover's lump. "Sorry for the wait..." He whispered gently, closing his eyes.

Sighing, Reno reached down and ran a gentle hand through Cloud's hair. "I don't mind." He smiled at another kick. "They might have, though."

"Yeah..." Cloud grumbled, rubbing his cheek. "Little punks kick hard."

"It's cause they loooooove you."

"If every person that loves me kicked me, I would be a soccer ball."

That made Reno giggle. "And I would have caused most of the bruises!!" He chuckled again. "You are really loved, Cloud." He hummed. "If it was me I would barely have a mark. You're a lucky guy."

"Idiot." Cloud shook his head, leaning upwards to kiss Reno as lovingly as he could, actually surprised he could kiss in a way so chaste and tender as he was doing at the moment. "You are loved. Tifa loves you, Marluxia loves you, the kids love you, our children love you, I love you... How much love do you need to get the fact that you are loved inside your head?"

Blinking, Reno shook his head and sighed. "... sorry... I guess..." He sighed again. "I'm just not used to being loved yo. It's still a bit new to me…"

Cloud kissed Reno's forehead gently. "It's alright. Let's sleep?" He asked softly, pulling the covers up and curling under them and against Reno's chest.

"Yea..." Reno whispered, snuggling down into the warmth of the blankets. "Love you…" He mumbled, wrapping his arms around the other.

"I know. The same, right back at you." Cloud smiled, closing his eyes and burying his face on Reno's neck, falling victim to exhaustion.

Yawning lightly once again, Reno murmured, eyes drifting shut as he fell into an easy sleep, not waking up till morning.

--

"Cloud...? Cloud, wake up..."

Said man stirred softly, sighing deeply through his nose and he curled under the sheets. He missed warmth... his lover's warmth. Cracking his clear eyes open, the man looked around sleepily, seeing Tifa hovering over him with a small smile. "What?" he whispered, closing his eyes once more.

Tifa smiled more widely, reaching to pet Cloud's bed hair. "It's time to wake up, sleepy boy." She giggled, pulling the sheets down just a bit to press a kiss against Cloud's shoulder. "It's getting late to be in bed."

"... Don't wanna..."

"Well, you gotta." Grabbing Cloud's arm, she pulled lightly, trying to pull the blonde up. "C'mon, lazy. It's almost noon! Time to get up and start what's left of your day."

"But I'm still tired..." Cloud mumbled, sitting up and letting his sheets pool on his bare lap, letting little covered to Tifa's imagination. "Reno?"

Rolling her eyes, Tifa reached over and pulled the blankets up. "I don't need a sneak peek, thanks." Smiling, she ruffled Cloud's hair. "He and the kids went into town with Marluxia..." She paused. "It was strange... he acted like he did before he was attacked." Taking in Cloud's appearance, a grin came to her face. "Is it safe to say that you finally took him?"

Cloud blinked his sleepy eyes at Tifa in confusion before finally understanding it. "OH. Yeah, I did." He mumbled, a drowsy grin rising to his lips. "It all went fine. I was so scared, Tif'... But everything worked out okay."

"That's good." She had missed the little redhead. It just wasn't the same with him like he was. "He bounced downstairs with a shit eating grin and stole Marluxia's waffle before sitting on his lap to eat it." She chuckled. "That's when I guessed what happened. I'm glad it turned out okay."

Cloud smiled and nodded before widening his eyes. "Oh! Check this out." he grinned, leaning to get Reno's sketch book from his nightstand before opening it on a specific page. "Look at this..."

"AWW! So cute… but... Why does one look like Marly?" Tifa asked, tilting her head to the side, snickering. "Is there something Reno isn't telling you?"

Cloud rolled his eyes and got up, walking to the wardrobe to get some clothes. "Shut up, you. He just wanted to mix our appearances and see what would come out."

Back turned to give the blonde some privacy, Tifa giggled. "Riiiiiiiiiiight. Sure! So, should i tell Marly that he's gonna be a daddy or will you?"

Cloud growled and chucked a pair of boxers at Tifa's head. "Shut up! Kill joy!"

"EWW! Don't throw your underwear at me! Or I'll retaliate with a bra to your head!!"

The blond chuckled, putting on some boxers. "It's safe now. And I'll stop if you stop questioning my connection with Reno's babies!"

"Alright, alright." Turning back around, Tifa grinned and sat on the bed, holding up the sketch. "This is pretty good. And would be totally creepy if it turned out to be true!"

"It would, wouldn't it?" Cloud cringed. "I swear that I would chase Marluxia and beat the crap out of him just cos I could." He sighed, putting on a pair of black shorts.

Tifa chuckled again. "Leave the poor man alone. It's not his fault that blond and red make pink!"

"He breathes. And you know he would make the joke!" the blond whined, putting on a sleeveless shirt. "C'mon, let's go down. Any morning sickness…?"

"You are such a baby and no." Walking downstairs, the brunette went to go reheat the blonde some food. "And anyone would make the joke." Cloud pouted, slumping on the kitchen's table and whining pitifully. Giggling, Tifa set a plate of waffles and eggs in front of Cloud, leaning over to kiss his forehead. "Don't worry! Everyone knows they're your babies!"

Cloud smiled, scratching Tifa's nape gratefully before picking up a fork and dig in. "Thanks for the food, by the way. You didn't need to."

Grinning wickedly, Tifa waited until Cloud took a bite. "Reno and Marly made them after having a flour fight."

Cloud glared at Tifa. "They're too frikin' friendly... i guess I have to start nuzzling you more often under their nose."

"... Guess I shouldn't tell you that Marly licked some syrup of his lips before getting bitch slapped then, should I?"

The blond chocked on his food, coughing. "THAT'S IT. YOU, ME AND A FRIKIN' BOTTLE OF SYRUP IN A BEDROOM, NOW…!"

"... Pass..."

Cloud slumped. "Thanks for the friendship..." He mumbled, chewing lazily. "Frikin' bastard... He kissed me twice in the corner of my mouth: does that equal to a real kiss in the end?"

Blinking, Tifa shook her head. "He kissed my neck, cheeks, forehead and bottom lip." Reaching over, she petted the blond's head. "You're not the only one to suffer! And don't worry. The second he licked him, Reno slapped him into next Tuesday."

"That's my boy." Cloud grinned, leaning up to kiss Tifa's palm.

Snorting softly, Tifa shook her head. "You two are so alike. You kiss people everywhere!!"

Cloud blinked. "I don't." He said innocently before leaning forward and kissing Tifa's chin.

"You are such a liar!" Chuckling, Tifa leaned over to gently bite Cloud's nose.

"Am no…!" Cloud giggled, quickly licking Tifa's bottom lip.

Sputtering, Tifa pulled back and wiped her lips. "No more for you." She glared playfully.

Cloud chuckled, getting up with his now empty dish. "I knew you would say that."

Grumbling, Tifa wiped her lips again and walked over to help Cloud with the dishes. "So, what are you going to do today?" She asked, smirking and wagging her eyebrows.

Cloud rolled his eyes, doing the dishes before drying his hands and pulling Tifa to a soft, gentle hug. "I was thinking of going to the garden to garden a bit." He yawned softly. "I want to do something to those bushes and roses: they are freaking huge. What about you?"

Tifa smiled, nuzzling against Cloud. "I wish I could help you but, you know, a woman - or man - on my condition just simply can't do much and tire themselves---"

"Yeah, yeah..."

"--- so I'll just grab a towel, the sunscreen, a nice book, an mp3 and spend a perfect morning at the beach. I take it you take care of lunch as well?" The woman batted her eyelashes up at the blond.

Cloud rolled his eyes before kissing the tip of Tifa's nose. "Fine... Go and have fun, I'll also make lunch for everyone." He sighed softly. "YOU better love me after this..."

"Already do!" Tifa chirped happily, throwing her arms around Cloud and getting on her tiptoes to kiss the blonde's cheekbone. "Oh, Marly, Vexen and Zexion are coming over for lunch... The rest of AVALANCHE and the Turks are too but that's a secret you must keep from Reno no matter what! It's a surprise."

Cloud let his eyes widen. "That's lunch for a crap load of people." He murmured, thinking. "... I think I can manage. No, I'm sure I can manage. Oh, and do I look thinner? Cos if I do, I'm sure Shera will be on my trail for the rest of the day."

"Oh, I'm sure you can manage!" Tifa giggled, kissing the blond's cheek. Stepping back, she gave her friend a good look. "Naw... looks like you put ON a bit of weight if anything!" Grinning, she gave the man's cheek a pat. "Don't worry about it. Just focus on making lunch and preparing to jump in when Reno gets a little overwhelmed."

"Overwhelmed?" Cloud questioned. What would his Reno have to stress about?

"Yes, overwhelmed." Leaning up, the woman gave the other's cheeks a pinch. "Did you not hear me list who is coming over? And i already know Yuffie, Elena, Rude, Shera and Rufus will be all over him!" She laughed a bit. "Poor little guy!" She knew how much he disliked having someone other than Cloud touch his stomach and here he was, in for a whole lot of snuggle time.

Cloud blinked and mouthed a small 'oh'. "I was forgetting about that." He chuckled. "But I'm sure he won't mind Rufus and the others all over him... I think that deep down, he loves the attention."

"Oh, he does. He's just not used to it." Tifa had seen the wonder on the redhead's face when someone hugged or complimented him. "Cloud... do you know why he acts that way?" She asked, a flicker of concern flittering across her features. "A bit of isolation is normal... but he acts like a pat on the shoulder is like someone telling him he won the lottery." It just wasn't normal.

"Reno lived in the slums for as long as he could remember... his father was a costumer and his mother a whore; he was told that his mother hated him when she first saw him and that is why she left him." Cloud explained softly, sighing. "He was never really loved so, any love he gets, he treasures it."

"... Oh... i... didn't know that…" Looking down, Tifa sighed and nodded. "Right…" Looking back up, determination burned in her eyes. "We're going to make sure that he NEVER forgets that he's loved!! I'm going to rally everyone up and make SURE they treat him nicely!! And if they don't..." She growled, thrusting her chest out. "Death by suffocation!!"

"... No-one deserves to die like that..."

"Well then they better be nice... especially Cid..."

"Oh, Cid's good." Cloud smiled. "He already came here once... and had the talk with Reno. Whatever that means…"

"Hmm..." Thinking for a moment, Tifa rubbed her chest gently and nodded. "Good. But I'm keeping an eye on him!" smiling widely, she walked out of the kitchen, heading upstairs to get changed. "Now... to the beach!! Cook Wench!!" she said when she left.

"I love you too, sweetheart!" Cloud called out, rolling his eyes and chuckling.

Time to garden, he thought as he turned to get a pair of gardening gloves.

Quietly creeping up the dirt path leading to the large, white beach house, a lone figure darted across the yard to peek in through a window. No one was home, good. That meant that his little kitten wouldn't be caught in the crossfire. Smirking, the man slowly sneaked around the back of the house, pausing and stilling when a dark haired female exited the house. Waiting for her to be out of eyesight, he made his way into the home and looked around for a certain blue-eyed blonde, finding him in the garden next to the place.

He owed him pain.
