Male/Male relationship! IE: CLOUD AND SEPHIROTH ARE GAY!!! Point of view starts out Cloud and ends Sephiroth. You should be able to tell which is which.

'Thought'

"Speech"

(Speech over PHS)

&&&

I was pissed, I won't tell you what I was pissed about because you'd think I was being childish. Hell, I thought I was being childish. But it hurt, oh sweet Phoenix did it hurt. I walked out of his office and down the hall, people scattered to get out of my way and I was glad they did . . . At least, the small part of me that wasn't raging or crying was glad, if they hadn't I'd probably have pounded them to a bloody pulp. I ignored the rain as I walked outside, I ignored the shocked looks as I stalked down the street, and I ignored the tears streaming down my face. He'd forgotten . . . Completely forgotten.

&&&

I watched him quietly shut the door behind him as he left, and the glare on his face boded ill for anyone dumb enough to get in his way. I couldn't understand why he was so upset. I shrugged; he'd probably come tell me later. A small red circle on my calendar caught my eye, but there was nothing written down next to it so I ignored it.

&&&

I reached the edge of Midgar and stared at the stretch of plains in front of me. I could see some monsters running around about 10 meters off so I unsheathed my broadsword, a new one, a gift from Zack, and charged. The first one fell in an explosion of violet blood, staining my uniform. Damn him, How could he forget? I'd told him yesterday! He'd been thrilled; it was . . . an attack sent me flying. I growled and let the rage engulf me, I don't remember how many monsters I slaughtered in those four hours, but I do know that by the time I was done, I was exhausted and covered head to toe in gore.

&&&

I looked at the clock and winced, it was past nine. I'd promised him I'd be back by five, though for the life of me I couldn't remember why. Something about dinner. I shook my head. He'd understand, besides, the paperwork needed to be done. The military's training was sadly lacking. I decided he wouldn't mind if I stayed a few more minutes to finish up.

&&&

I sat at the table staring at the plate full of, had it been warm, delicious chicken alfredo pasta, and buttered garlic bread. The burnt down candles flickered and I felt tears running down my face again. It was past midnight, and he still wasn't back.

"Happy birthday to me." I whispered and blew out the candles.

&&&

Zack sauntered into my office.

"Good morning Sephiroth!" My head shot up.

"What do you mean morning?" He stared at me for a long moment.

"Do you mean . . . to tell me, that you've been here ALL NIGHT?" I got up wincing as stiff muscles creaked and opened the blinds covering my window. Sunlight poured in and I squinted.

"I guess I have been." I turned to see an expression that I had never seen on my friend's face before. A mixture of incredulity and anger, that looked strangely out of place on his normally smiling face.

"Un. Freaking. believable. Did you talk to Cloud yesterday?"I nodded.

"I did, he seemed upset for some reason when I told him I didn't remember any special plans." There was a shocked silence and I turned to face the brunette.

"Why?" He shook his head.

"You have really screwed up royally Sephiroth." I was confused and a bit irritated, I hadn't gotten any sleep last night and for some strange reason Cloud was upset with me.

"Oh really? HOW have I royally screwed up?" The anger on my second in command's face was replaced with a deep sadness.

"Seph . . . His birthday was yesterday." I stood there in shock as all the little things clicked, him coming into my office asking me if we were doing anything special, the red circle on my calendar and the dinner promise from . . . now the day BEFORE yesterday.

"What have I done?"

&&&

End Chapter! So what do you think? Should I continue or leave it there? Should Sephiroth be forgiven? Or should Cloud kiss him good-bye?

Sephiroth: I can't believe you made me so . . . so . . .

Komi: Insensitive? Forgetful?

Sephiroth: BOTH!

Review and make me happy please!
