Chapter 2
Black Powder
Noted Pairings: ZackxCloud, CidxCloud
Pairings: ZackxCid (odd how that turned out...)
Zack sighed in boredom, spinning in his swivel chair when one of the lower ranking SOLDIERs entered his office, donned in baggy jeans and a tight black tank top; his name was Serdio. He listened absently as the nervous SOLDIER stammered out a swift report, the details imbeding themselves in Zack's mind for future refrence while the others went unnoticed. This kid was really starting to get on his nerves, thus Zack showed his displeasure by narrowing his eyes and increasing the Mako intensity in them. The audiable gulp of Serdio preceded his hasty conclusion of the report before he bowed slightly, quickly leaving the tent with a swift rustle of nylon. Zack sighed once again, the intensity of his glare dissipating while he continued to await the arrival of his superior. The day had been extremely long since he didn't have anything, or anyone, to keep him occupied. His 'To Be Done' pile of papers was a helluva lot taller than his 'Done' pile of papers, that's for sure. With and exasperated sigh, the black maned man reached to his 'To Be Done' pile and took the first folder off the top, flipping it open, and skimming over the neatly typed letters in mock interest. His hand moved to pick up a pen from the small pencil holder at the corner of his desk, placing the cap between his teeth and clamping down on it, pulling the pen free soon after. Opening one of the dull, steel draws open in his desk, he pulled out a blank sheet of paper and quickly scribbled down his report on the subject. He was still writing when a second rustle of artificial fabric caught his ears. He sighed, hoping to hell that it wasn't another annoying private with a damn report to give. He finished his report, placing it on the 'Done' pile before looking up and sighing with relief. "Cloud! Damn, am I ever glad it's you! I hope I never have to listen to these fags again! How you ever manage to cope with this is beyond me." "Hn. Thanks for the welcome. By the way..." Cloud made a slight signal with his hand to a shadow outside the tent which Zack had just noticed. The figure walked inside the tent, pushing one of the flaps aside with one of his shoulders. "This is Cid. He's joining SOLDIER." Cid was only a tad bit taller than Cloud, but apparently quite a bit older. By his appearance, he looked more like a whale poacher or a fisherman than any fighter he'd seen. But, judging by the way the muscles in the older man's arms moved, he could tell that he wielded a weapon of some sort frequently. "Interesting. I think we can get 'im in without many people askin' questions. Have you measured his skills so we can bunk 'im?" "Yeah. He's a level 3 at least. He's an extremely well made fighter. Made of good stuff, he is." Zack snorted, glancing away defiantly from his superior. "I am *not* bunking with a newbie, Cloud. There's no fucking way." Cloud smiled sinfully, snickering. "Absolutely *no* way?" Zack gulped, regretting his choice of words as Cloud moved in on his, the blond SOLDIER's hands pressing onto the slick steel of the desk and leaning across it, his face inches from Zack's. "No way at *all*?" A swift intake of breath and a gulp. "W-well... maybe there *is* a way after all..." Cid rolled his eyes, turning away from the scene. He had felt that effect before, the effect of both Cloud's beauty and his flirtatiousness. It was hell to try to survive one of Cloud's coy little 'I'll sleep with you if you do this for me' kind of routines. Of course, worse by far were his 'I'm gonna fuck you silly 'cus I want to' kind of routines, the one he had won Cid over with. //I just hope Cloud get's his ass pounded for being such a little cunt...// Cid muttered mentally, awaiting for the time when he be drug off towards his new home. ~*~ Cid grunted slightly when a booted foot kicked him in the lower back, the owner happening to be the moody Zack who had obviously become irritated with the harpoonist's snoring. With a sigh, Cid rolled over, hoping that this new position would prove more favorable to the man bellow. "Dammit, Cid! Put on a Breath Right or somethin!" growled the dark haired man from below, elicting a second ripple of laughter from the single bed across from their bunks. "Shut yer ass, Cloud! This is all yer fault, anyways!!" "Hey, you could've slept in MY bed tonite but NO!! You wanted to show you were all tough and bad and get irritated and wake everybody up in the middle of the night." snapped Cloud, growling slightly. Cid snickered, leaping off the top bunk and over to Cloud's bed, a devious smile on his face. He knealt next to the bed, giving the occupants back a curious look before placing cautious hands upon it and kneeding the muscles there, resulting in first Cloud's tension, then swift relaxation followed by soft, mumbled compliments and soft mewls of pleasure. Zack had turned in his bed and was watching the scene with slight jealousy, wondering if Cid was trying to take his man. "Mmm... That's nice.... Lower, if you would... Please..." groaned Cloud, flexing his back slightly to allow Cid better access. Cid smiled slightly, running his hands further down the SOLDIER's back. Cloud gasped slightly, quite enjoying the feel of calloused and powerful fingers forcing his ever-tense muscles to relax. Zack sighed and rolled his eyes before sitting up and walking over to where the other two were, kneeling behind Highwind and placing his hands lightly on the warrior's shoulders. Moving his hands smoothly he began to massage Cid's back, hoping to get the same treatment from one of the two. He supposed that at times, this kind of contact was more rewarding than even the most pleasurable sex. Cloud had fallen asleep easily under Cid's careful minstrations, and the harpoon wielder now leaned back against the relaxing touch, his eyes closed as if in rapture. Zack smiled slightly as he finished with the other man's back and swiftly moved calloused hands to caress the well-defined muscles hidden beneath a coarse, cotton shirt. Skilled fingertips trailed even lower, tickling the firm abdomen and sides of the man who was, obviously, at the heavy sword weilding SOLDIER's mercy. Finally, teasing hands glided down to the denim clothed crotch, fondling the bulge there. Zack snickered mentally as a deep moan escaped the spear- weilder's throat. Keeping one palm covering the heated area, the dark haired SOLDIER moved the second to the clasp and zipper of Cid's pants, undoing both and slipping the garments past the older man's hips. The obvious arousal, which was once partially hidden, sprang free of its confines to stand fully erect, demanding further attention. Zack then moved the very same hand which had removed the harpoon-weilder's pants to undo his own, making quick work of it by tugging the garment to his knees. He removed the hand the had been stroking the other man's cock, wringing a delightfully frustrated and dissapointed whimper from Cid's delectable mouth. With a slight snicker, the other SOLDIER moved his mouth so that his tongue could reach the curved structure of the other man's ear, causing the spear-weilder to shudder. "Mmm... I want inside you.... now..." moaned Zack between the butterfly kisses he trailed down the other man's corded throat. Cid gasped, is eyes widening slightly in both fear in surprise. How the hell had a simple back massage turned into a full out fuck-a-thon?! With a slight shake of his head, the harpoonist glanced over his shoulder at the other man, shuddering slightly at the look of pure lust etched across the younger man's face. "Zack... I-I've never..." "Been with a man?" inserted Zack, smirking slightly. Cid merely nodded in response. "We'll have to change that... Let's call it your 'annitiation'..." The pilot blinked when two fingers were firmly pressed to his lips, wondering what he should do. He heard a shallow laugh from behind him and tensed slightly, wondering what he should do now that he had made a fool of himself. "You're a riot, Highwind. Suck." Cid sighed, relaxing once again as he took both fingers inside his mouth, coating them with saliva. He felt Zack shudder behind him, mentally snickering when the other man took in the implications of such a normally innocent and rude task. Finally, the younger man took his fingers away, ordering Cid to support himself using the bed. "W-what now?" the older man asked, his voice breaking slightly in both nervousness and fear. "Yo, calm down. It feels awesome once you get used to it..." admonished Zack, moving his saliva-slickened hand to Cid's virgin entrance. "Though I do find it weird that you havn't been screwed silly by anyone, let alone Cloud, with your looks..." Cid gasped and visibly tensed as a finger was thrust inside him, the digit pausing once its owner noted his discomfort. Snickering, the black haired man moved his finger deeper, searching for the spot that made even experienced men cry out in pleasure. He knew he had hit carnal gold when Cid gasped in surprise, his body grinding into his hand, impaling itself on his fingers further. A seductive mouth moved to nibble at the slightly shorter man's ear, nibbling at the lobe while he drew pleasure-filled whimpers from him, thrusting experienced digits against Cid's prostate rythmically. Zack mentally winced, remembering that he had forgotten lube again, and that this would probably be REALLY painful for the new SOLDIER. Shrugging it off, he positioned himself before the other man's entrance. "Cid... This will be... uncomfortable for a short time, but it feels really, really good once you get used to it.... Relax..." soothed Zack, hands moving to grip the harpoonist's hips. The younger SOLDIER slowly began to push forward, wincing when he felt Cid tense around him. He again ordered the other man to relax before fully sheathing himself in the pilot's firmness. Zack shuddered at the intense pleasure he was gaining from this act, his mind struggling with his body for control. He knew that Cid was undoubtably in pain, judging by how tense the new SOLDIER was. "Relax..." he mumbled over and over, placing butterfly kisses across the exposed neck f the man below him. "Gods..." Cid moaned, feeling the pain slowly subside. "Zack... I'm fine... please..." The erotic whimper was enough to plunge the already struggling mind of the black maned SOLDIER into the deeper confines of his subconcious. With a load moan, Zack began thrusting, beginning softly at first, but steadily speeding up in obediance to his driving lust. He barely felt the harpoonist arching back into him with each completed thrust, his need matching Zacks in almost every way. Cid's gasps and moans became for erotic and breathy, his eyes fluttering each time the other SOLDIER pistoned within him, leaving him a needy mound of nerve endings. He could barely move with their combined weight, let alone move with both that and the weight of his lust. A sudden cry left his lips as a devious hand snaked around his waist and began pumping his cock in unison to the brutal thrusts. Cid finally conceding to almost tortuous coaxings, and came, shouting Zack's name even though his subconcious warned him of the stil slumbering Cloud. Zack followed swiftly, muffling his shout of ecstasy in the crook of Cid's neck as he spilled his seed deep inside the other man. He groaned softly in the aftershocks of wild and hot sex before letting out a muffled cry of dismay as they both collapsed to the floor, the harpoonists arms splayed to the sides as he gasped for air. "That was.... Wow..." gasped Cid, blinking rapidly and shaking his head slightly as if to clear some dream. "Good, eh?" gloated Zack, snickering. "Yeah, well both of you need to either get a room or shut up and go to bed because that sure as hell was NOT entertaining for ME..." mumbled Cloud tersely. "Whatever..." Zack growled as he stood, striding towards his bunk and swiftly cuddling up inside. Cid watched him leave longingly before shaking his head and beginning to search for his long lost pants. "Cid..." The newest SOLDIER blinked and glanced towards Cloud, who had rolled over and his now open and shimmering mako treated eyes gleaming in the gloom of the unlit room. "Screw the pants. Your sleeping with me tonight." A faint snicker from the opposite bunk and a nervous gulp and nod from Cid ended the matter as Cloud finally was paid his dues. ~*~
