Behind Shinra Doors

Chapter 11: Healing Wounds

Liam stood over Cloud who lay on the bed, resting on his stomach. Liam took another strip of cloth which was doused in alcohol and gently laid it on another one of his bleeding scars. Cloud hissed from the pain deep within his throat.

"Sorry." Liam murmured gently. He laid another one on causing the same affect. He looked down at Cloud, hurt and a little angry. Words boiled up inside him for the longest time, now they projected out.

"Don't feel innocent over all of this. You got what you bided for." His motherly tone switched to a stern fatherly one. His words were as painful as the whip's lashes across his back.

"Sleeping with a Turk!" Liam hurled a bandage across the room in anger. "Cloud! What the hells wrong with you?" His sighed his frustration. "A Turk!" Cloud below said had tears welling up in his eyes. Harsh breaths in took from him, showing remorse of the affair.

"I don't know what's gotten into me." He whispered, keeping back the sobs. Liam's anger melted with the tears of Cloud. His face softened instantly as did his heart which cried for his dearest of friends. Liam sunk in the bed beside Cloud and so close he could feel the short breaths from his little mouth.

But Cloud didn't notice. His sight was gone from him at the moment. Bandages hid his now delicate eyes from the harshness of the sun. Soon when the wraps were gone they would be vibrantly colored heavenly blue from the mako injections he suffered. Liam felt what it was like of just one injection. The surging pain and feeling it cover you body. He couldn't imagine Cloud, someone so fragile as him, to endure eight injections in two days.

Liam pushed back the spiky bangs Cloud had and christened him with a tender kiss on his forehead. "It will be okay." He promised softly to Cloud.

Sephiroth was coming up from the elevators early today. He couldn't take the confinement of regular days when they weren't anymore. Even in the open fields it seemed he was choking and no one noticed. He allowed Corgi to carry on the lessons and seemed fine with that.

He didn't know at first why he was feeling this clogged and isolated with everyone and everything. But those who knew feelings more then Sephiroth it was the vile penalty of guilt and guilty did he feel. Guilty for Cloud's pain, guilty for Reno's tears, guilty for his envy that might as well have destroyed Cloud. Once the elevator opened its doors to the floor, Sephiroth didn't want to step on the carpeting.

He knew Cloud was in the room down the hall. Every time he had to go back to his quarters Sephiroth loathed in being so close to Cloud. Actually it was fear in being so close to Cloud. Fear in what would happen when the soldier saw. He did save him from expulsion but gave in return such a beating that would scar him for life.

Eventually he had to get out of this tiny steel box. As the doors closed Sephiroth emerged from the elevator. The hallways were vacant from Cloud's friend Liam, who volunteered to take care of him. He noticed Cloud's door was open which was strange to Sephiroth. Curiosity made him scuffle his feet down the hall and peer into the room.

Liam was gone at these hours but Cloud continued on living. The soldier tried furiously to tie his bandages across his eyes but it was difficult in his state, being so drained from the mako. Pity surged through Sephiroth and slowly knelt down to Cloud beside the bed. Cloud stopped and noticed a presence in the room.

"Liam?" He called out but Sephiroth didn't answer to correct. The general hesitated but did help Cloud. He gently took the bandages from Cloud and tied them firmly in the back of his head. Sephiroth noticed how different Cloud looked without his famous blue eyes staring at him in awe, but still he was beautiful. Sephiroth got up to go and leave. Listening and feeling the difference in the air Cloud seized his hand and brought him close to him.

Sephiroth didn't want to speak out to be free from his hold but he couldn't stand being so close to Cloud. Silently he sat beside Cloud on the bed, not daring to touch him anymore. But Cloud had another thing in mind. His graceful hands searched for a face, then a mouth which he kissed so plentifully. Supple lips he craved to have touched his skin.

Within the kiss emotions ran through Sephiroth as did revelations. He knew it was me the entire time! Oxygen became a factor that they had to break the kiss but Sephiroth wanted more. He's been the good-little boy for his entire life, kissing up and picking up for all who had the ability. But now it would be damn insane of him to pass up this. But what if they get caught! With a Turk, Cloud got this but the General! Regulations wouldn't have this. Fuck regulations!

Sephiroth grabbed Cloud and kissed him passionately as he did so many times in his dreams and so did Cloud. The silver haired man lowered Cloud on the bed gently and matched his body up with his. Cloud's fingers raked through Sephiroth's silver tresses and down his back. He searched for the opening in his shirt and slowly unzipped Sephiroth's shirt. Sephiroth did the same to Cloud and both wore sculpted torsos.

The general claimed Cloud's neck with his tongue and slowly descending down his body, marveling at the finery of it all. Sephiroth loved how Cloud tasted. He stopped at the soldier's belt buckle and immediately began to take off Cloud's pants. Sephiroth went up to kiss Cloud again as his skilled hands pulled the pants off Cloud's lean legs.

Now Cloud was bare for Sephiroth to see but he longed to see Sephiroth with his own eyes. But only his hands were his eyes now, scanning Sephiroth's body, memorizing every curve of muscle or scar.

Sephiroth again lowered his skilled lips to Cloud's nipple, nipping at the piece of flesh. Cloud gasped from it, feeling Sephiroth's hand glide down his abdomen near his jolting hips. His fingers danced around his thighs brewing Cloud's fire even more. The youth began sliding his member against Sephiroth. Before the two knew it they were grinding hard into each other Sephiroth grabbed Cloud's thighs and wrapped them around him.

The general allowed Cloud to nibble on his lower lip as he pushed themselves up along the headboard. Cloud stretched his neck to the heavens, ready for Sephiroth to penetrate him. A moment later Cloud moaned as Sephiroth entered him deep and began thrusting into him.

Each heated thrust was harder and deeper then the last and Cloud's moaned intone with the rhythm and Cloud's moaning drove Sephiroth over the edge. There wasn't a second when the room wasn't filled with a noise, whether it was the lovers groaning or the bed creaking. Either way it was for sure they weren't worried about being quiet.

Cloud was racing to climax and urged for more out of Sephiroth but tightening his legs to pull Sephiroth in deeper. The general responded, literally throwing himself into Cloud. Before long Sephiroth was spent and collapsed on his back with Cloud still on him. Cloud was able to laugh under his panting.

"When you're tired you really quit!" Cloud mused lightly. All Sephiroth could do was smile but kissed his sloppy by lack of oxygen.

"Fuck." He gasped. "You really," He had to catch his breath. "Know a lot for your age." The general huffed. Cloud grabbed Sephiroth's fine hair by the back and kissed him passionately. The silver haired man grabbed the twisted sheets and covered them both by its warmth. Cloud hot and sweaty form slid and caressed Sephiroth's.

Sephiroth graced his hand along Cloud's face, always stopped by the rough bandages. He craved to see those eyes stare back at him again. A memory flashed when he first saw him. Not in the hallway as Cloud did but long before that.

Cloud was had been in the SOLIDER training process for at least 4 months now. Another raid happened among the childish group and the culprits had to go onto individual screening. The most boring part was assigned to the general, who watched the interrogation behind a glass wall next to the president. Both wanted the day to go fast. Two young boys passed, both guilty as ever. But the last one Sephiroth had wished would last forever.

A young boy of probably 16 came in, not a trace of fear went through him in the room. His aquatic eyes flashed to the mirror, straight at Sephiroth as if he could see him. Knowing that someone was behind the mirror, watching him, he smiled mischief and sat down at the short table. At that moment, the general nor the president were swayed with a greater beauty then him.

Now that same beauty was with him, in the exact position he dreamed of since that day. All was here except those eyes that lured him so. And forever gone because of his envy. Sephiroth frowned but Cloud couldn't see, the youth bent down to kiss him again but Sephiroth turned away only catching a cheek. Cloud thought he was teasing him and did it again in a light manner, but Sephiroth stayed the same.

"Sephiroth?" he asked worried. The general noticed this shouldn't be the time to tell, it might ruin the moment.

"Go to sleep with me Cloud." He stated blankly. Cloud's face twisted in confusion but he did as he was told and laid down upon Sephiroth, who wrapped his arms tight around Cloud, and fell asleep.
