Author's Note: Sorry this chapter took so long to post, I have been busy. Thanks for the input on what I should do with the story; I really appreciate it.

Well, I decided to go with a little Sora and Cloud junk; for now at least. Ok, and well, I suppose I should just say a little something about Cloud. In my fic he is very observant and can change his attitude according to what he notices. So basically, he can have a lot of mood changes; if that makes sense.

Still working on a title for this story, it is up to 26 pages now. Anything else? Oh, this whole part with Cloud is probably going to take two chapters, maybe three.

Warnings: Nothing really; just a little sex talk.


Sora finally got a good night's sleep in what seemed like years of restless sleep. He had always slept like a baby, until the night after his date with Kairi. After that, Sora's life seemed to be headed for the worse until Cloud came along, the blond adonis that seemed to understand everything. If Cloud wasn't sleeping with Riku, Cloud would have been the perfect man.

Yes, Sora seemed to have formed a nice little crush on Cloud, well, that was what it seemed like. The only reason Sora had slept so well was because he was dreaming of Cloud. Nothing sexual or anything, but just them talking over a cup of coffee; and that was all Sora wanted. Really, when he thought about it, he wasn't interested in the sex, but just mild touching and connecting on more of an emotional plane. Sora was an emotional wreck, so it was best that who ever he was going to get romantically involved with knew that fact very well. And, well, Cloud did seem to know that very well.

God, he felt like a schoolgirl; every time he thought about Cloud, he would find himself blushing, or even giggling. Not that that was really a bad thing...

Sora was shaken from his current reverie by a loud knock on his bedroom door. "Sora! Wake up already! It is noon!" Bah, stupid mothers, always ruining good dreams.

"I'm up, mom!" Sora yelled in reply, throwing the covers off himself and walking to the mirror in his room. He was still dressed in the same sweatpants as the last two days; god he was a pig. Staring at his form in the mirror, his messy spikes and skin dented from the covers, Sora caught a glimpse of Cloud phone number on his hand as he scratched the top of his head. Maybe he could call Cloud today... no, Cloud said only to call if he needed to talk, presumably about some problem in his life he needed help fixing. Not just to hear the blonde's voice.

Letting out a slight groan, Sora realized he thought about Cloud far too much. Anyways, he barely knew the man, and on top of that, there was probably over four years difference between their ages. Well, it wasn't like that stopped Riku... Sora pouted, he was still displeased with Riku for having told Cloud that they had slept together; but, he was nowhere near as angry as yesterday.

Leaving his room, Sora made his way downstairs, and into the kitchen. Grabbing himself a glass, Sora filled it with milk and sat down at the table. His mother was buzzing around the kitchen at the same time, putting dishes away, when she stopped and looked at her son's hand. "What's that?" She asked, pointing at the phone number scribbled on his hand.

Sora felt a blush come to his cheeks. "It's nothing, mom." He stated quickly, hiding his hand under the table. His mom sent him a knowing smile and just turned and went back to her business. The funny thing was, his mom really didn't know whose number that was. She was probably thinking it was some girl's; oh was she wrong.

Gulping down the rest of his milk, Sora quickly made his way back upstairs, just in case his mom got curious again. Lying down on his bed, Sora found himself staring at the phone number on his hand. Maybe he could just call and hang up... just hear Cloud say hello, or something. Rolling onto his side, Sora spotted his phone on his bedside table. Reaching out, Sora removed the cordless phone from its cradle, looking from the number, to the phone, and back again. Chewing his lower lip for a moment, Sora turned the phone on. He was getting closer to hearing Cloud's voice. Dialling the numbers, Sora pressed the receiver to his ear, hearing the phone ringing on the other end.

"'Ello?" The voice on the other end asked. It sounded almost tired, like it had just woke up.

Sora froze, it was Cloud. There was no mistaking his soft, almost angelic voice. But, Sora couldn't find his own voice; he just lay there, blinking stupidly as he tried to think of something to say.

"Hello? Anyone fucking there?" Cloud was getting annoyed, someone woke him up and now they weren't even saying anything.

The last thing Sora wanted was to make Cloud mad. "Hi..." Sora's voice was so quiet he would have been surprised if Cloud even heard him. God, he couldn't seem to do anything right.

There was a pause on the other end, before a cautious, "Who is this?"

"It's... uhm, Sora... Riku's friend..." Sora explained softly, sounding uncertain of himself.

There was another pause. "Oh! Sora! Hi, how's it going?" Cloud asked, sounding much more cheery.

"Hi... It is going good, I am sorry if I woke you up... I didn't mean to, I am sorry. It's just I..." Sora let out a soft sigh, giving up trying to explain himself.

"It is fine, Sora. You didn't wake me up, I have been up for a while, just reading." Cloud explained, laughing softly; sending Sora's heart a flutter. "So, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, uhm..." Crap, Sora hadn't thought that far. "I was just wondering, er, how you came to know Riku..." So, that was a crappy question, but it was better than nothing. It gave him some excuse to continue the conversation with Cloud.

"Oh, well, we met at a coffee shop. He came and sat down at my table, out of the blue, and we just started talking." Cloud decided to leave most of the story, the less than pure parts, out. "And how did you come to meet him?"

"Well, I have lived right beside him my entire life, and we have been friends since I can remember."

"Oh, yeah, I suppose I sort of knew that." Cloud laughed softly, seeming so carefree. After his laughter died off, Cloud spoke up again. "So, is that really why you called me?" He asked, changing the tone of the conversation to a more serious one.

"Uhm... no, I don't think so." He stated truthfully, but then again he couldn't really say he called just to hear his voice in hopes of satiating his thoughts of the blond.

"Then what? Did you want to take me up on my offer of fooling around?"

Sora was startled. "What? What offer?"

"You know, how I said you should get together with another dominant person to see if you felt the same way." Cloud explained, not sounding pushy about it at all.

"Oh... well, no that wasn't why I called." Sora stated softly, though the possibility of getting together with Cloud was definitely appealing. "That was an offer?"

"Yeah, that was also one of the reasons I gave you my number." Cloud stated, laughing softly.

"Oh..." Sora felt his cheeks flush at that, seriously glad he was on the phone.

"Well? Are you going to take me up on my offer; though, I want you to know, I won't be mad if you say no, I enjoy talking to you as well."

"I... uhm, don't know." Sora stated, the smile on his lips almost audible in his voice.

"How about this, we get together and talk, and if you want to try anything, we can; but you don't have to do anything you don't want to."

Sora felt himself getting anxious already. "That sounds good... Where are we going to get together?"

"Well, how about your house, cause you don't know where I live, but I know your house." Cloud suggested.

Sora nodded slightly, not able to say anything fearing he would start screaming for joy. But, after a couple moments, and Cloud calling his name, Sora realized Cloud couldn't see his nod. "Uhm... yeah." He replied simply, keeping his voice quiet as well.

"Alright, I will be over in a couple minutes. See you then." Cloud stated, hanging up the phone soon after, leaving a slightly surprised Sora still on the other end. Had he really just invited Cloud over?

Finally turning the phone off and throwing it down on the bed, Sora looked around the room, wondering if it really had happened. Alright, so Cloud was going to be over in a couple minutes, he was still in his sweatpants, and un-showered. Crap. Quickly hopping off his bed, Sora ran into the bathroom. Not being known for showering quickly, Sora could only cut his shower down to fifteen minutes. Running out of the bathroom, Sora darted into his bedroom, looking for clean clothes and finding none. Jogging out into the hall, Sora yelled down the stairs, "Mom, have you done any laundry?" His mother called back affirmatively and told her son she was going to bring up the clothes in a second. Going back to his room, Sora started drying himself off, Cloud was going to arrive any second and he wasn't dressed. God, where was his mom with his clothes? There was a knock at his door, thank god. "Just bring them in." Sora called out, throwing his towel to the floor; it wasn't like his mom hadn't seen him naked before.

There was a slight cough coming from the door of his bedroom, and Sora turned around to see Cloud staring at him, a rather surprised look on his face and Sora's clothes in his hands. Sora's whole body flushed as he hurried to hide his naked form from Cloud's eyes. Grabbing the sheets off his bed, Sora wrapped them around himself, still blushing furiously. Sora closed his eyes tightly and just prayed that hadn't just happened.

"Oh, wow, I am so sorry, Sora. I should have said it was me..." Cloud apologized, taking a couple steps toward Sora, holding the clothes out for him. Despite how sorry he said he was, he didn't look very apologetic.

Sora opened his eyes and stared at Cloud, still blushing. "It isn't your fault... I should have suspected you were here by now."

"Yeah, I was downstairs, talking to you mom while I waited for you to get out of the shower. She suggested I just bring your clothes up to you." Cloud stated, setting the clothes down on the bed beside Sora. "I will leave, and let you get changed." He added, turning and heading back to the door.

"You don't have to leave, just turn around for a moment. Anyway, it isn't like I have anything to hide now." Sora stated, laughing softly. Cloud just nodded, stopping near the door to Sora's room. Dropping the sheet, Sora quickly pulled on boxer, baggy jeans, and a simple black t-shirt. "Alright, I am done." Sora stated, fixing his pants on his hips.

Cloud turned around slowly, looking Sora over quickly, not sure whether or not Sora looked better in clothes or not. Walking over to Sora, Cloud ran a hand through Sora's wet hair, that still managed to spike up, despite the dampness. "Your hair is a lot like mine." Cloud stated offhandedly. Sora looked at Cloud suspiciously, wondering what exactly he was doing. Not that he minded the contact. "And your eyes..." Cloud went on, dropping his hand down to Sora's cheek, lightly brushing his damp thumb against Sora's cheekbone. Shuddering, Sora looked down at the hand against his cheek.

"Cloud?"

Cloud just smiled softly. "Sorry." He stated simply, dropping his hand and taking a step back from Sora and walking over to the younger male's bed. Sitting down on it, Cloud looked around the room, noticing the posters and action figures littered around the room. "So Sora, how old are you?"

Sora turned and looked at Cloud. "Seventeen, you?" He asked, walking over to the bed as well, sitting down beside Cloud. There was something weird about the way Cloud was acting, but Sora wasn't scared away. It was almost endearing.

Cloud smiled. "Same age as Riku, I should have guessed. I am twenty-five." Eight years difference. Wow, that was a little intimidating. "I won't be hurt or sad if you don't want an old man like me sticking around."

"Wow..." Sora mumbled, looking down at the ground, though quickly looked up at Cloud. "You aren't an old man, and I like having you around..." He stated, smiling softly.

"That's good, cause I like spending time with you, even though we have just met. You are so different from everyone I know."

Sora felt himself blush again, taking what Cloud had said as a compliment. Clearing his throat slightly, Sora pushed himself up off the bed. "Would you mind if I put on some music?" He asked softly, walking over to his stereo. No, Sora didn't want to create ambiance, he just needed something to calm him down and distract him from the man sitting on his bed.

"Sure, just no rap or country please." Cloud stated, crawling farther onto the bed, sitting at the head of the bed, leaning against the headboard.

"How is instrumental?" Sora asked, taking out a CD he had burned that contained a wide variety of calm and soothing classical songs; perfect for him.

"Perfect." Cloud replied. Finally, someone who enjoyed true music; no stupid songs sung by bad singers.

Putting the CD in, and pressing play, soft piano soon filled the air as Sora walked back over to the bed, wondering slightly where he should sit now. Climbing onto the bed, Sora sat next to Cloud's sock clad feet. He remained quiet for sometime, just looking at Cloud's foot and thinking. There was no pressure, Cloud was just here to talk and if Sora wished, more. But Sora didn't want to have to make that decision; that wasn't what he liked doing. He just wanted to be led, be submissive and do what ever Cloud wanted. Go with the flow.

Cloud remained quiet as well, waiting for Sora to start the conversation, or whatever. But, the longer Cloud sat there, watching the brown haired boy, the more he realized Sora didn't plan on starting anything. But, then again, he knew the younger male wouldn't. During the brief time they had known each other, Sora only started talking once he was talked to. So, breathing softly, Cloud wiggled his toes slightly to get Sora's attention. "You know, Riku does care for you as a friend. All he talks about is you and how wonderful a friend you are."

Sora couldn't help a small smile, yeah, Riku did care. Why else would he have helped Sora for his date? "I know... I just don't know why he had to say anything, I thought it would have been pretty clear when I ran away the morning after, that I hadn't meant to go that far. I just wanted to know that I hadn't done something wrong on my date with Kairi... but that definitely wasn't in my head."

"Maybe Riku just wasn't the right person to go to; he never gives up a chance to sleep with someone. It is just the way he is, he is addicted to sex; just like you said you were addicted to his touches. He just wanted to reach a powerful orgasm, he doesn't care if he likes the person he sleeps with or not. I can't say I like what he does, seeing as that was how I used to be, but now I know sex is so much better with feelings involved; actually caring for the person and making it sweet." Cloud stated, staring past everything he saw, like he was lost in thought.

Sora looked at him curiously. "Why are you telling me all this?"

Cloud couldn't help but laugh. "I really don't know, I guess just because I think you and I are the same, we both want the same thing out of a relationship."

Chewing on his lower lip slightly, Sora couldn't help but think that Cloud was right, that they did want the same thing. But, this talking wasn't really helping him figure out how he would feel when he was with someone else. Maybe Cloud would be the best person to do this with. "Cloud, could you hold me?" Sora asked softly.

The innocence that shown in Sora's bright blue eyes was surprising to Cloud. And, with just the music playing, he knew Sora didn't want sex out of this; at least not wild, animal sex. "Yeah, I would love to." He replied softly, spreading his legs slightly and beckoning Sora to sit between them.

A little hesitant at first, Sora finally crawled between Cloud's legs, just staying there on his hands and knees looking at Cloud. With some gentle guidance from the older man, Sora was finally settled, sitting down with his back against Cloud's chest, with the blonde's arms wrapped around him loosely. Sora couldn't help but relax completely into Cloud's embrace. It was so gentle, almost loving. And, even though Sora didn't get the same feeling he did as when Riku touched him, Sora couldn't help but like this better. Instead of tingling, Sora just felt warm, a loving warmth that coursed through every part of his body. Sora's eyes slipped closed as he sat there, one arm resting on his stomach, the other on Cloud's thigh.


R&R, please.
