I do not own FFVII nor any of its characters,however the story idea is mine. "Cloti"main pairing.Also a hint of Yuff/Reno (cause they're so childish they go good together). Warning: Lemon ahead, well kinda sorta ish.
In Love,But not with you
Cloud opened his eyes and found himself in his bed. Raising an eyebrow he got up, his gray slacks still on. He looked around, no sign of Tifa. But he swore it was her bed he had fallen asleep in after their night of...passion. Opening his door he made his way down the familar path of his own home. Walking into the kitchen he looked around.
" Hello? " he voiced aloud, but all it did was echo back to him. Walking towards the den he stopped at a puddle of blood leading the way, as though it were some kind of sick subsitute for a trail of bread crumbs. Following it carefully, it led him to the step down den. Looking up he saw Sephiroth sitting on the arm of the sofa, the blood trail stopped at him. Cloud's eyebrows furrowed.
" Seph...you ok? " he asked, he was concerned. If Sephiroth had been hurt by someone, then it was the end of the world.
" I'm fine little brother ".
" But then...whose blood is... " Cloud began to ask but Sephiroth raised a hand and cut him off. He stood up, his body still blocking the couch. He stepped off to the side and let Cloud see Tifa lying on the couch. She was unmoving, but she was still alive. Cloud could see her struggling to breath. Her back was on the couch, and she faced the ceiling. Looking at him she extended a bloody hand towards him, it shaking violently. Cloud rushed to her side and held her hand, compressing her forhead.
" WHAT DID YOU DO! "
" Me little brother? I did nothing. All of this, was ' your ' doing " Sephiroth blinked at him, his eyes turning brighter and his hair turning blonde. The hair set itself into golden spikes and Mako Cloud smiled at the normal one, an evil smile that chilled his bones. He chuckled softly and lifted up both his hands showing Cloud proof of the murderous crime performed. He lifted his hand to his mouth and licked the blood off his knuckle.
" Her blood is just as sweet as her kiss " Mako Cloud laughed. He walked up to the normal one and lifted him up, making him look around the room.
" In fact...she's the sweetest thing, compared to your other friends ". All around Cloud was Zack, Aeris, Barret, Yuffie, Reno...everyone he had ever known from both this neighbor hood and his previous one. Cloud began to scream loudly, telling it all to go away.
Cloud jolted up from his sleep. The red numbers of an alarm clock read 4:22 am. He placed his face in his hands, trying to keep from making any noise. His breathing was heavy and his eyes were wide. He felt a delicate hand place itself over his heart. He then felt another hand bring his arms down and felt a thumb brush underneath his eye. He was somewhat surprised when he felt moisture rub against his cheek. He was crying? He couldn't feel it...nor could he tell...must've been a bodily reaction to his fear. Looking up he saw Tifa, fine as she had been when he went to sleep. Her sheets entangled them both, giving her the look of a fallen angel, with white all around her. Tifa brought him into a hug, she knew when someone had a nightmare, their reactions were the same everytime. Her right hand moved up to his hair and began soothing his scalp while the other worked on his shoulders.
" Shhhh...its ok baby...I'm here " she said quietly and felt him bury his head in the crook of her neck, his arms encircling her tightly. Tifa had the feeling the nightmare was about her some how, that or something he feared. She just didn't know how right she had been. She layed them back against her pool of pillows and relaxed as she adjusted to be comfortable with more weight on her than her own. She continued to sooth him and shush him nicely and softly. It had been so long since anyone had done this, his mother used to do it all the time. But she was gone, had been for years, never coming back. She was in a better place. Cloud lost track of her soothing him and didn't notice, until he woke up later that day. Yawning he sat up rubbing his eyes. He looked up at the clock . 1:03 pm. Breathing in deeply he stretched, feeling his spine loosen. Stretching his neck to the side he heard the loud ' pop '. Running his fingers through his hair he looked around. The door opened, and Cloud was about to jump into the closet to avoid the servants and their big mouths, but it was Tifa who had come from the other side. Cloud looked confused, wasn't he just holding her? Looking back he blinked his eyes clear of sleep and saw a body pillow. His mistake, she had moved without waking him, that could prove to be good, or bad. But it wasn't his fault, she was just as soft as the pillow and it had her perfume scent all over it. Tifa was dressed in a pair of shorts and white tank top, no bra though. Cloud smirked, he could get used to that.
" Oh good, your awake...I thought you'd sleep all day...we'd end up missing our double date with Zack and Aeris ".
" S'cuse? " Cloud hadn't heard that, he was demanded to give the phone to Tifa, who knows what words were exchanged. He only heard one side of the conversation.
" Come on, get up. I made you breakfast...well...Lunch actually " Tifa smiled as she looked at the clock. She turned and left, walking down the stairs, humming a soft tune. Cloud threw the covers off, because trying to untangle them would drive him insane. He slipped on his black pants without the fancy cloth that wrapped around one leg. Looking around he went to her bathroom and took care of his bladder screaming at him. He came down minutes later, looking more awake than the naked eye could tell. He looked at the table and his eyebrows lifted.
" Cooking spree much? " he asked tilting his head. It looked like she cooked everything she owned. If he didn't know any better, she could have cooked the couch and it would still have tasted great. That would have been amusing though. ' This is great Teef...what is it? ' 'Lazy Boy love seat '.' What? '. He laughed to himself making Tifa look at him with confusion. He shook his head saying it was nothing. Tifa shrugged and asked him what he wanted to drink. He shrugged saying ' anything's fine '. Apparently...that was a hard decision. Tifa bit her lower lip as she looked in the fridge, she leaned on the door and peered in the shelves and door.
" Whats up? " Cloud asked walking to her side. There was plenty to drink, but she was having a hard time making a decision for him. Cloud smiled and rolled his eyes, when someone usually told him ' anything's fine ' he threw them water. But Tifa had gone through alot to make this giant brunch that she didn't want to ruin it by giving him the ' wrong ' drink, if that was possible. Cloud reached past her and pulled out a carton of orange juice. ( Huzzah for Orange Juice ).
" This'll work " he said inclining the carton. Tifa nodded and got out two glasses from a cupboard. He poured it a few meters below the brim. He handed her, her glass and sat down at the table looking at all the food. Tifa noticed him looking.
" What?...Is...is there nothing you like? " she asked worridly. Cloud laughed.
" No...I like everything...I'm just having a hard time trying to decide what to eat first... " he laughed again thinking about his eatable couch. Tifa blushed, and laughed to. She had had a few friends tell her that once she went through that life changing moment in the bedroom, she'd be trying to hard to keep the guy happy. Which it was because when you were a girl, you were afraid he'd use you then leave you, especially if you weren't married. Tifa told herself to relax and take a deep breath. She sat down and looked at everything on the table.
" Maybe I shouldn't have cooked everything in my freezer " Tifa's lips tugged to the side seeing waffles, pancakes, bacon, eggs, chicken, lasanga, fish, lobster, the list goes on. It was breakfast on one half of the table and lunch and dinner on the other. Cloud laughed aloud at her comment.
" I had a feeling there was no possible way that you were still stocked up on food...excuse me ma'am but can I get this to go? " Cloud laughed again.
" Go? You're going? Why? Stay here ".
" Tifa, I meant later " Cloud's face turned to concern as Tifa looked at him as though he was seriously going to get up and leave that moment. She blushed again and laughed nervously. Cloud had heard of this type of reaction from women from his friends on how'd they'd act. He even knew those who took advantage of the treatment until the woman got in her head that she could kick his ass if he left. He smiled at her.
" Just promise me when we get married, you won't cook everything at once ". Tifa looked up at his remark and smiled sweetly.
" ZACK! HURRY UP! Sheesh, the boy takes more time to get ready than I do " Aeris mumbled to herself as she checked her reflection one last time in the downstairs mirror. She used the brush on a stick inside her lipgloss and ran it over her lips before smacking them together. The light made them glisten together brightly and it smelled of watermelon. Zack came down stairs, his attire was close to Cloud's usual. He had a black wife beater shirt underneath his black zippered vest. His pants were black slacks with heavy boots. Aeris looked up at him, she wore her hair behind her head in a ponytail. Her eyes sparkled, making them the brightest thing about her. Her clothes were a blue shirt with cut sleeves and a black skort. It was the only thing she'd wear when he asked for a real skirt and expected her to ride his fenrir. He smiled at her.
" My what shiny lips you have ".
" All the better to kiss you with my dear " Aeris laughed playfully.
" Thats good...lets just hope we don't get stuck together " Zack winked as he walked up to her and hugged her tightly. He licked the tip of her ear and squeezed her tightly.
" Shall we? "
" Yep " Aeris took his hand and walked outside of ' their ' home. Each without parents anymore, they moved in with eachother. He mounted his fenrir and fired up the engine. He handed her protective glasses since she'd complain the helmet would ' mess up my hair '. She held on tight to his chest, her arms curving so she could touch his waist with his elbows and his shoulders with her fingers. She pressed her cheek against his shoulder blade and smiled. She was just about the luckiest girl in the world. Well at least...in her eyes she was...and that was all that mattered. He pulled up to the park to see another fenrir parked and its riders sitting on a bench that was facing them. Zack had put on his own helmet, hiding his raven spikes. He pulled it off as Cloud got up. Cloud was back to wearing his usual fancy black outfit that made him blend in with the shadows but also stand out. Tifa wore a vest close to Zack's, but had a white tank underneath and was wearing capries that were black with a fancy cloth hanging from her hips down. Black, slighly heeled, sneakers were on her feet.
" Your late ".
" Sorry bout that ".
" We would have been on time if Zack didn't spend more time than I did to get ready " Aeris laughed. Tifa smiled as Aeris said with her eyes ' I kid you not '. Cloud glanced at his watch nervously, being in this neighborhood didn't make him feel to comfortable. Zack placed his hand on Cloud's shoulder.
" No one will reconize you here...you've changed so much, grown up so much. Many have probably forgotten what you look like " Zack said reassuringly. Cloud looked at him nervously.
" Zack...I haven't exactly changed in facial features, nor my hair, its a dead give away ".
" Thats ok, the carnival isn't even here anway. Come on, lets get going to our movie before it starts without us " Zack said looking at his watch, it was ten past seven. Cloud nodded and grabbed his protective glasses and slipped them on. Tifa had wanted the helmet to keep her loose hair from getting knotted.
The movie Silent Hill was creepy. In fact it scared Zack, only because he and Cloud had sat in seperate places at the theater to be with their girls. But during on the creepy parts, Cloud had walked silently down the isle and snuck behind Zack and grabbed his shoulders roughly making a weird sound that sounded similar to the one on the screen. Both Zack and Aeris ended up jumping...it was a good thing they were the only ones in the theater. Tifa had thought the movie relatively stupid, and she even voiced her opinion to Cloud quietly as it got halfway through. Cloud had responded with a laugh as he got up, took her hand and led her to a dark corner. The speakers were to loud to hear anything...important. Cloud's back was to the wall, his lips locked onto Tifa's. Her own back was leaning on his chest. His arms gripped her hips tightly as Tifa bent her arms to encircle his neck. Cloud's hand disappeared at the hem of her pants, they weren't as skin tight as they looked. The loud screams on the big screen drowned out her moan as they moved down towards her precious flower. Cloud's other hand snaked up through her shirt, fondling her breast. Tifa released his lips as she moaned again, her breaths hitching in her throat. Cloud licked the nape of her neck and bit down on her weak spots, making her shiver with delight. Cloud smirked at the knowledge that he could now have her whenever he wanted, he had that power over her. But he'd never take advantage of her. Tifa's arms moved down to grasp at his, as if telling him not to stop. Her nails dug deep into his arms as she arched her neck, letting him get easier access to her collar bone. His fingers easily moved because of her wetness. Tife turned her head and licked his cheek, whimpering lightly. Cloud turned back towards her and kissed her parted lips hard, demanding more of her. Tifa's eyes drifted shut as her body arched to his touch. She bit his bottom lip as she felt her climax hit her body, sending waves of pleasure everywhere. Cloud's tongue traced over the roof of her mouth. She released his lower lip and continued kissing him, letting him work on her body again.
The lights began turning on after the movie ended. Zack and Aeris stood up and stretched before turning around. Tifa and Cloud were sitting down again, each had their chins resting in their palms.
" Was it really that boring for you two? " Aeris asked.
" It wasn't bad...just wasn't to entertaining " Tifa shrugged. Cloud glanced at her direction, god she was good at keeping her cool. They both stood up and stretched as well. Aeris asked Tifa to come with her to the bathroom, like women usually did for reasons guys will never understand. ( I'll tell you the reasoning, so they can talk about their date with you or the bathroom's creepy by oneself ). Cloud walked up to Zack and Zack halted. Cloud raised his eyerbrows as Zack turned to him.
" I know you were bored Cloud, but have a little dignity. Just cause its just us, you can't do that sort of thing in the theater " Zack folded his arms. Cloud's eyes widend.
" I...I have no idea what your talking about " he said nervously.
" Yeah uh huh sure you don't...but usually when other people are in the theater you don't sneak up behind someone and scare the shit out of them and their date " Zack stuck out his tongue in a childish way as he climbed down the stairs of the isle and made his way out. Cloud thought he were going to faint, from the sound of it, he thought Zack had found him. But the room was so dark and loud he had no clue. Cloud let out a big breath and put his normal easy going face back on.
" So Tifa...how could you just let Cloud go and do that? Have you no self control over that guy? " Aeris asked as she fixed her hair even though there was nothing wrong with it. Tifa nearly choked on her vocal cords.
" What...what are you talking about Aeris? "
" Don't play dumb with me...you watched him do it, in fact I think you enjoyed it ".
" Huh? " Tifa turned away from her friend to get a paper towel as her face turned five shades of red.
" Don't tell me you were focusing on the movie and didn't notice he came and scared us shitless " it wasn't like Aeris to curse, but she'd been dating Zack for a long time.
" Oh...that...yeah...I kinda gave him the idea " Tifa shrugged, her face relaxing.
" Yeah, that...what did you think I meant? " Aeris asked suspiciously.
" How the hell should I know? From time to time you don't make sense " each of the girls had a little of their guys in them...had at one point in time...literally ( U ).
" So...ready for the carnival? "
" You bet...you think Zack and Cloud are going to make this into a competition? " Aeris asked.
" Boys will be boys ".
