Tifa poured a couple phoenix downs on the unconscious pair. Cloud opened an eye, wincing at the room's brightness. Disentangling himself from his newfound lover, the first sight he saw as he rolled over was a gloved fist aimed for his face. "Cloud, you asshole! How could you.." Tifa screamed. He winced and feeblely attempted to dodge, but the crack of flesh hitting flesh came before he had gotten out of the way.

"Funny, that hurt less then I expected," Cloud thought, before blinking a couple times and realizing that Tifa hadn't connected with his face at all, but with a very familiar hand.

"Don't touch him. How could he what? Offer to someone else what you didn't take when he offered?" Squall said coldly. He let a little warmth creep into his voice as he tousled Cloud's hair "He's mine now." Tifa broke out in tears and ran from the room. Squall finally moved the hand he'd shielded Cloud's face with, letting a warm droplet fall as he did so. Cloud reached up and touched his nose, and brought the liquid he found smeared there to his lips.

"Blood? Are you hurt, Squall? Let me see." He grabbed Squall's hand and rotated it until he could see the small cut on his palm, probably from the edge of the armor in Tifa's glove. Cloud made a low, worried noise, and licked the smeared blood away from the wound so he could see it better.

Squall gently pulled his hand away, laughing softly. "It's nothing, just a scratch, here let me get the blood on your nose." As good as his word, Squall leaned over and licked the blood off of Cloud's nose. Then he looked away at something, and laughed a little harder. "Would ya look at that." He gently directed Cloud's attention to the doorway.

Yuffie had followed Tifa out of the room, and was kissing her cheeks repeatedly. Tifa had stopped bawling, perplexed. "Yuffie, what are you doing?" She asked.

"Kissing your tears away, duh!" Yuffie replied cheerfully, extracting a surprised hiccupping giggle from Tifa.

Cloud laughed, turning his eyes back to Squall. "That's the second most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life!"

"The first being?" Squall asked teasingly.

"You, duh." Cloud said, mimicking Yuffie's tone exactly. The pair broke up into gales of laughter.

Selphie had also been watching the two girls, and abruptly burst into tears. "Why? Why does everyone fall for girls like that? Why doesn't anyone like me? Is it cause my boobs are too small? And you two, you should be ashamed, flaunting yourselves like that! Put some clothes on!" She stomped her foot for emphasis, and broke the heel off of her boot. She climbed gingerly to her feet, and hopped out on one foot. As she left, she called back to Questis "You gonna watch them all day?"

Cloud looked over his shoulder and saw that yes, there was one more woman in the room, the older one with the whip.

Questis sighed. "The thought had occurred to me. Don't get your panties in a knot, Selphie, I haven't seen Squall this happy since Rinoa wandered off with that Valantino dude. But now that you pointed out to them that I'm here, I'll leave. Give 'em a little privacy." She left, giving the couple a little wink on her way out. Clutched in her left hand was a pair of red plaid boxers.

Squall grabbed a bundle of clothing out of a drawer, and said, "I could use a shower, you?" He tossed a bundle twin to the one he was holding to Cloud.

"Only if you're willing to share." Cloud replied, shooting Squall another grin.

"Kind of a tight squeeze, but we should be able to fit." Squall replied. "When we're done, I had better go settle with the manager about the door."

Well, I'd better give you something pleasant to remember during that conversation," Cloud replied, "As that was mostly my fault." The pair went into the bathroom and shut the door.
