Behind Shinra's Doors
Chapter 2: Tall and Grandeur
As the last of their orgasms were spent the two SIOLDERS quickly left their bunk base for the fields where luckily the rest of the group were having a break.
"Where the fuck were you guys?" Liam called as he saw his two friends running together out of the base.
"Probably fucking each other." Was the low and sultry voice of Cameron from behind. Neither Cloud nor Zack were offended by Cameron's rudeness.
"Awww, jealous are we Cameron?" Zack walked over to the dirty blonde boy. Cameron replied with the same playfulness.
"Always is." He was leaning on a practice sword and squinting his eyes from the beginning sun.
"What's up with our lemon drop?" Liam nudge to Cloud who was quiet this morning.
"Nervous of the listings. Says he won't make it." Zack replied. Liam and Zack laughed save but Cameron.
"Don't worry Cloud, I don't think I'll make it either." Cameron's suave pose was later interrupted by Liam's arms.
"Nooo," he hugged his already cranky friend. "You're going to make the list with us and we'll all be in SOLIDER together and grow up together and marry together,"
"And if we're bored: sleep together." Cameron added.
"And sleep together. But I don't know about you Cameron, heard you're pretty lame in the sake." All burst out laughing except Cameron who was trying to prove that wasn't true. Liam kissed his friend on the head and squeezed him even more.
Their gathering was cut off short by the shrilling sound of their leader's whistle.
"FALL IN!" His associates echoed the command until every one of his students was lined up in perfect rows. As always the boys were lined together with Cloud at the end. He was staring down at the patch of grass and noticing how green it was on such a beautiful morning while all the rest were in awe of the striding sovereign crossing the ranks.
As all were in amazement of their conquering hero walking among them Cloud was oblivious that a general noticed him out of the throng. Cameron bumped Cloud's shoulder twice with the third time actually waking Cloud up from daydreaming.
'What!' Cloud mouthed using the fullness of his mouth but Cameron couldn't tell him. The general was walking away and already disappearing behind the base camps when Cloud was wondering what he was doing wrong. When the command leader gave permission to ease his group's tensions he walked over to Cloud.
"MR. STRIFE!" he bellowed.
"Yes, Sir!" Cloud shot up straighter for his commander.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO JUST NOTICED YOUR DAMN BLONDENESS!" The commander always lashed at you with some physical flaw and for Cloud who had no ugly qualities what so ever it was his so called 'blondness' that the commander picked out on, as if it were the root of all dumbness.
"No, sir." Cloud was really at a loss and was slapped in the back of the head for it.
"THAT WAS THE GENERAL YOU DUMBASS AND YOUR CHANCES OF MAKING HIS CUT ARE NOW PERMENITLY CUT OUT OF EXSITANCE!" The commander said no more and left Cloud in the lowest of shame.
"Don't listen to that jackass! He's just jealous of your great hair, everybody knows it!" Liam's belief that the commander had a sick obsession with hair was regularly stated.
Cloud held back his tears every time he was called down with such vigor and nodded to his friends. The group noticed a different activity was going on as all of their peers began racing to the main building where the mess room was located.
"Fight?" Cameron wondered.
"No, I bet it's the list! Come on!" Zack began towards the mess hall and noticed Cameron's and Cloud's laziness. "Come on boys," he said with a gay British accent. "Cheerio!" Liam was the only one who jogged next to Zack as gaily as he did while the other two walked arm in arm to their meet their fate.
By the time they arrived at the mess hall already, swarms of boys pushed each other to see the small sheet of paper and coming out either booing or shouting in triumph. Zack came out dancing towards Cloud.
"I made ittttt." He sang as he snatched Cloud from Cameron in a tango. "I mmmaaaddde iiiittt." Cloud laughed along with Zack's cheesy accent. "And spin, stop,"
Cloud slipped out of his hands and tripped over his feet. Zack looked around embarrassingly before a hand appeared from below. Zack helped him up quickly and both scattered out of public sight.
"Where's Liam?" Cameron asked after watching the worst Broadway act for the day.
"WHO'S YOUR MAMA? WHO'S YOUR MAMA?" A voice from afar cried out.
"Oh, speak of the devil." Cameron added unemotionally with hands in pockets. Liam jumped out of the throng crushing a little boney guy to the ground.
"Cloud you made it!" Cloud's frown lifted immediately by the mentioning of his name.
"Really?"
"Yah, check it out face fuck!" Liam said.
"What about me?" Cameron's question squandered all happiness from Zack and Liam's appearance. Cloud could read their faces and so did Cameron. The dirty blonde youth chuckled quickly.
"Hey!" He slapped his hands at his sides. "Not everybody is cut out for this work." A smile played across his face but tears began filling his eyes. Cloud embraced him whispering promises how he would stay for Cameron.
"Now, Cloud go! Don't let me slow you guys down!" All the others joined in on hugging Cameron. "Now! Don't all start hugging; you're going to make me cry…Damit!" His tears came down harder. "You're making me cry!" His voice was on the brink of sobs.
"Fuck Face!" Liam wiped his eyes. "You're getting me started!"
"Me toooo!" Zack did the same.
"Let's get something to eat." Cloud commanded. "We'll have a celebration at the bunk tonight in Cameron's honor."
"Honor for what?" Cameron asked.
"For getting me to cry!" Cloud turned away quickly to hide his tears. All four friends walked arm in arm down the hallway, shoving those in their path. Of course it was rude but together the boys created a pack that was feared in the SOLIDER camp.
Cloud began whispering in Liam's ear of what they should do for Cameron's party until the other hand on his opposite side left him. He turned around to see Zack slipping his arm back around him but didn't see why. Cloud glanced over his shoulder and there he saw a tall man with pure silver long hair flowing after him.
The man must have noticed Cloud's eyes were on him because he turned around to see him to. It was only seconds but seemed much long that their stare had lasted. Brilliant green eyes peered through a sharply crafted face meeting Cloud's oceanic blue ones. Eventually the tall man, carrying some form of grandeur stature about him, soon passed into another hallway leaving Cloud in question of his name.
"Dude, who was that?" Cloud asked Zack.
"Ah, Dude? That was General Sephiroth." Zack answered back. Cloud did a double-take at his friend.
"That was the General!"
Wow! I'm really on a roll. Wrote this chapter only five minuets after the first. Now we know who is the general, so eventually these boys are going to depart and go their separate ways. It killed me to take Cameron out of the picture but needed someone to play a hating role later in the story. You will also see how Cloud spends his occasional lunches. PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
