A/N: THRID CHAPTER...yeah. Same male/male situation warnings.. Though THAT doesn't come for awhile

::Solitude Interrupted::

Scene three: Clouds Floating

--------------------------------------------

The day was moving by painfully slow.

He could feel the hours eating away at his soul as they past. He had came to the conclusion, that instead of dying, his soul would just rot away. If this was the truth, then he wasn't very far from dying.

It had only been four years since the planet came close to being destroyed, but he could feel it. He could feel how his body was stopped, and he knew, every time he saw his reflection, that this was the face he was destined to see as the years crept past. He didn't believe in birthdays.

Not for him anyway

He wasn't aging, so to him, if you don't age, you don't have any birthdays.

Tifa's brain only held ridiculously romantic ideals. Rationality was as foreign a concept to her as was clothing that actually fit. Of course he noticed her body. Noticed how shed put an extra bounce in her step in his presence. Noticed how shed pout "thoughtfully" when talking to him.

And of course she didn't notice how he didn't care.

While seeing a slight amount of red moved out of his minuscule cabin windows, he wondered if Vincent would ever just come for a formal visitation instead of cautiously creeping about the area. He knew Vincent would often check on him, most likely to make sure he was in good health. Vincent crept about so as to leave the households occupants to themselves, and to let them enjoy their peace. Cloud appreciated that, and made a note to self to invite Vincent in the next time he spotted him. His non prescient presence and respectful attitude for ones personal preferences would surely not be a bother to Cloud's currently fragile mind set. Cloud, who had been sitting on his simple blue knitted bed cover, laid back upon the pillows and dramatically shut his eyes to his environment. He had tired living in their world. He really had.

At the beginning he felt it was time to leave the shell of himself that was the scared, scrawny blonde boy from a no named town, and enter the casing of the strong blue eyed planet saving underdog. It has all sounded so appealing when he first thought about it. To him he would spend his life in perhaps a place like Costa De La Sole. He would live in a expensive, but not overly flashy house. He would never have trouble finding an attractive romantic partner, and he would be looked on as a cool, quite, collective, silent enigma that everyone loved but respected enough to give him his space.

Things don't always turn out as you plan.

Everyone had unanimously voted him as the person in charge and soon he was bombarded by questions on the restoration of the planet.

"I think if we put a power line in this location that it would just worsen our situation instead of bettering it. you see what vie noticed is that over here there is small underground.."

"..but there are some who totally disagree with this idea. I think if you held some sort of public speaking conference and showed them why this IS the best course of action.."

"Some people still hold fears and uncertain about this plan, but I know.."

"Of course you agree with me right?"

"...and of course the people will listen to you"

"Of course this silly fear will be abolished when you talk to them"

"...right cloud?"

"Cloud?" "...cloud..." "cloud?!" "Cloud" "CLOUD!!!!"

He hated it. He didn't know what was best for everyone. He wasn't an engineer, a designer, a public speaker; that wasn't what he was built for. He knew how to fight, and that was only by a fluke. The people who had once depended on his physical strength and dexterity had naturally looked to him as one who held and equal amount of power in mind.

But he couldn't take it: he pressures, the dependence, any of it. It was he who was frail in mind, but no one noticed that

The lifestyle wasn't even that which he had expected.

He didn't have a permanent home, he was constantly on tour, doing what? He wasn't even sure anymore. He was suppose to be publicly speaking, and encouraging the people that now was the era of better things to come. But all he could remember was sitting around and just being a face that people could take pictures of.

Not that he wanted to speak or had anything to say anyway The planet was saved He could careless about what happened now.

There were people who wanted romantic encounters with him. There were a lot of people But he found none appealing. And instead found them revolting in their willingness to degrade themselves in anyway possible just to be close to him for a second. He didn't say no to everyone though. But every experience was a painful one. He would force himself to "enjoy" the persons presence, and to perform as he should, telling himself that it would be better for him, it would take the edge off of life, and besides the person is attractive.

But the joinings were all overly nauseating. It was all the same.

Rhythmic sounds would be broke by over zealous and overly emphasized vocalizations of pleasure. Unnecessary actions and attempts to please were displayed, and he often found him self rolling his eyes and sighing mournfully. He decided that wasn't a good thing and gradually began to hate sex and everything involved with it.

This wasn't the life he wanted. This wasn't his plan at all.
