Soon as they entered the safety of their tent they both rushed into a kiss. It was rough, very much like their first time. Cloud reached up to cling onto the general as he lead them to a bed big enough for them.
Cloud moaned as a tongue shoved into his mouth. He sucked on it, earning a pleased groan. A thought crossed the blond and he pulled away with a soft laugh.
"Am I feasting on you, then?" He teased.
"No. But thank you for reminding me." Sephiroth smirked at the slight frown.
"I don't know if I can stomach food. When they gave me food, I couldn't eat. I felt that I would throw it back up. Because of the horrors I saw."
"You have to eat something. Let's start with soup. I know we have endless soup." Sephiroth urged, raising a hand to touch Cloud's face. "I'm scheduled for another week here. Will you stay?"
"I'm not leaving your side again." Cloud assured, earning a kiss on the forehead.
"Can we...be more?" He couldn't believe he was asking this.
But being in that cage made him realize there are worse horrors than Sephiroth. And for now he isn't out to hurt anyone. Besides the enemies in the war, but that's a given.
Cloud came to the conclusion that somehow, Sephiroth became his safe place. His light in the darkness. The reason he never gave up even though he had a potential ally.
"Of course. I've missed you. I couldn't sleep knowing you were a prisoner." Sephiroth admitted, and the blond pulled him in for another kiss.
"How much did you miss me?" Cloud smirked playfully as he reached down between them. He gasped to feel Sephiroth already hard through his pants.
He watched those eyes dilating.
"Careful. I might tire you out before you eat. I need you to take something, Cloud." Sephiroth warned, pulling the hand away.
"But you - " He wanted to feel him inside.
"Can wait until you've had something to eat." The general insisted.
"...Okay." Cloud gave in.
Sephiroth ordered soup. He wasn't going to leave his side. He worried Cloud would fall asleep waiting. He almost did until someone brought the soup. Sephiroth thanked the errand boy before returning to Cloud's side.
"I don't know." He made a face.
"It's just broth. Eat. You're safe now. We haven't had any invasions in the camp since they took you." Sephiroth encouraged.
So Cloud gave in. For his effort he drank most of it before feeling like he would overdo it. Sephiroth understood, placing the bowl somewhere out of the way. He returned and pulled Cloud in close to snuggle.
The blond sighed in contempt. With his belly full and warm it didn't take him long to fall asleep. Sephiroth didn't mind holding off having sex. He was too relieved to finally have Cloud in his arms again.
Sephiroth sent a message to both Tseng and the commanders that he wished not to be disturbed for the rest of the day. If they need him tomorrow he will be back to his duties.
Tseng told him to take as much time as he needed. With both commanders here then they can cover for his duties a couple of days if need be. He warned it better not be until Sephiroth had to leave. The general replied that it shouldn't be more than two days.
He put away the PHS to return to holding Cloud. The blond sighed in his sleep but otherwise didn't stir. Soon Sephiroth felt sleep claim him as well.
He awoke to Cloud kissing his neck. A hand reached between them and Sephiroth groaned softly. He pulled the blond until he was on top, gripping his hips.
"Why don't you show me how much you've missed me?" He smirked at the blush on Cloud's face.
Their clothes were discarded almost sensually. Although they equally wanted this, to feel each other, they both shared the want to enjoy as they went. Sephiroth ignored how skinny Cloud was. He focused on those eyes, the only part of him that wasn't effected by lack of nutrition.
Sephiroth felt over Cloud's body slowly. He felt the way the blond shivered from his touch. He reached down to grab at his ass and squeeze possessively, earning a gasp.
"Remember we can be heard here." Sephiroth warned with a purr.
"You enjoy this a little too much." Cloud huffed.
"Only because it's with you." And he meant every word.
One of his hands closed the distance to begin preparing the blond. Cloud moved his hips in small circles. When Sephiroth finally added a third finger the blond tilted his head back, gasping.
When his fingers curled to that special spot Cloud whimpered. He began moving his hips as if he were riding him. With each thrust he moved faster. He was close to panting by now.
Sephiroth couldn't help but watch. For the moment Cloud seemed content with the fingers. Having barely done anything in the past month.
When his member ached to be inside he pulled his fingers out. He ignored the soft whine and guided him down. Cloud stared down to meet his gaze. Slowly Sephiroth entered, much like their first time. He felt the blond's legs tense, ready to spring at any moment to ride him. For now they were enjoying this feeling of their union.
They held this position for a moment. Cloud was biting his lip. Sephiroth almost groaned feeling the warm walls accept him so willingly. He held his gaze with those blues, now tainted green from mako.
"Ride me, Cloud." He gasped out, letting go of those hips.
Cloud did so. He moved fast, too eager now that Sephiroth is finally inside. The blond threw his head back, panting as he found the perfect angle.
Sephiroth watched. Fully entranced as Cloud lost himself. He felt his insides coil. He was close already? And yet it seemed Cloud wasn't close yet.
"Sephiroth..." Cloud gasped. "I need..."
Somehow he understood. Sephiroth switched their positions. He swallowed the cry of surprise with a hot kiss. And he picked up the pace Cloud had set. The blond clung onto him desperately.
Whimpers escaped the blond as Sephiroth went harder with each snap of his hips. Cloud began to release soft grunts. He was trying his best not to cry out.
Sephiroth was overwhelmed with euphoria. With each passing day that Genesis didn't return with Cloud, he began to believe he lost him forever. Wutai was brutal, and hardly any POWs returned alive.
He felt his right shoulder ache.
Cloud pulled away with the kiss as he came. His breath hitched as he bit back the cry. His whole body shuddered from the force of the release. Sephiroth nipped at his collarbone as the body below him pulled him closer to the edge.
"Sephiroth..." Cloud gasped into his ear.
And it was enough. Sephiroth grunted as he lost himself. All the while he released the tension as if he were unleashing an arrow from a bow. Something stretched outward from his right shoulder. Cloud gasped as he took in the sight. Sephiroth was too busy coming down from his high.
He laid there evening out his breathing. Sephiroth couldn't help his body when he shuddered. His length throbbed inside Cloud, and he wished he could enjoy a little longer of their union.
He came to realize something was attached to him when Cloud reached up. His hand gently touching the feathers. Sephiroth gasped in surprise. He turned slowly to take in the wing.
It sprouted from his right shoulder. Black as night. And shaped like a swan's wing. The perfect length and width to his height.
"I don't...wish to hurt you. Furthest from that." Sephiroth began to panic.
"Easy. I know. You don't have the madness in your eyes. Nor the malice." Cloud assured, cupping Sephiroth's face.
"...I don't know how to make it go away." Sephiroth admitted.
"Let's get dressed. Or, you can get dressed with what you can and message Genesis."
"He showed you his?" Sephiroth was surprised.
"Yeah. Made us swear not to mention it. But I think this is a good exception." Cloud tilted his head. "Wait, he showed you?"
"It's why I authorized he search on his own. If he hadn't I would have raised hell. Pushing our army so far into enemy territory searching for you."
"That would have costed lives." Cloud could see it. He almost expected that to be honest.
"Exactly why he offered. Let's make ourselves presentable." Sephiroth suggested as he pulled out.
Cloud dressed fully while Sephiroth placed his pants on. When they were done the general messaged Genesis to enter their tent.
He sighed at the reply.
"What did he say?" The blond asked.
"Said he didn't know I was into threesomes."
"He's very openly lewd, isn't he?" Cloud guessed.
"The first time he learned of me taking care of your Rut he sent me one message. A winking face."
"Oh. Oh." Cloud blushed.
A minute later Genesis entered the tent. He paused at the state Sephiroth was in. He sat on the edge of the bed. His wing tucked close to his body.
"Oh. So you do have one." Genesis eyes the blond. "You're special."
"I honestly can't understand why? I don't feel like I'm worthy of anything." Cloud admitted, looking down.
"He told me you have specific dreams."
"But everything is out of order! I have no idea what to expect anymore. Or what to do now that we're..." Cloud glanced at Sephiroth, only to look away again.
"Calm down. We don't need to alert the whole camp. So, why did you ask me to come here? Besides showing me that." Genesis pointed at the wing.
"How do I retract it?" Sephiroth felt stupid.
Even more so as the commander smirked. He chuckled as he approached.
"I will give you that, it took me a while to figure that out. You have to think of it like another arm. Imagine it being pulled into your shoulder. Merging with your body once more."
It took a moment for Sephiroth to grasp the concept. He closed hi eyes and imagined it becoming one with his body again. And then he felt it happening. It felt a bit weird. When it was done Sephiroth opened his eyes.
"I suggest you let it stretch out often now that you're aware of it. Otherwise your shoulder will ache and restrict your movement. I've almost had mine spring out in front of others." Genesis advised.
"I've noticed he always has a knot on his shoulder that I can't get rid of." Cloud made the connection.
"That would most likely be why." Genesis crossed his arms.
"So, now that we all share this little secret, what are we to do about it? I have no idea why we have these. I also want to learn more about your dreams, Cloud." He eyed them both.
The blond started from the beginning. Dreams of Zack's death. Then the dreams of his fights with Sephiroth. He even went into detail of a plate being intentionally dropped. But he didn't know which plate or when it would happen.
He described everyone who fought with him against Sephiroth.
"Have you met any of them?" Genesis raised an eyebrow.
"No. But Zack might know the girl with the flowers. He had a flower when he said goodbye to me before we deployed. It's the same as those flowers that the girl in pink often has."
"And you don't know any of their names?"
"No. Only Tifa, but that's because we grew up in the same village. But she never stepped foot out of home." Cloud shrugged.
"So what changes are you seeing now?"
"One, I never made Soldier. Two, you were supposed to go AWOL. Angeal would follow you. Zack becomes First after killing him." Cloud bit his lip at the last part.
"...Do you know the details of me leaving?"
"No. I'm left with more questions than answers with these dreams. For the longest I thought I was crazy. Especially as I begun training as Soldier. I questioned if they were real. Until Zack had that flower."
They contemplated for a long moment.
"So what do we do?" Genesis asked again.
"...I need to get in control of my network again." Cloud hated that he needed help. But maybe with their help he can figure more information out.
"How do we do that?"
"I need a phone not connected to Shinra."
"I'll see if I can pull a favor. I have a few contacts that are discreet. It might take a few days. I know I'm scheduled to go home tomorrow." Genesis offered.
"I agreed to stay until he goes home." Cloud informed.
"Then you might have a new phone by the time you come home. It'll be under Sephiroth's name if it comes in the mail." Genesis tilted his head. "What will you do afterwards?"
"Figure out if I can find more information about these people. And if I can find leads as to why you two went crazy." Cloud hoped that this can still be prevented.
"I have a vague idea. But no solid proof. I'll keep you updated if I learn anything." Genesis turned to leave.
The commander paused. He didn't turn around as he spoke again. His voice was soft, only for their ears to listen.
"Don't panic if I decide to leave the company altogether. I'm still debating whether I should stay or not. But if I do, I want to be part of your network to stay in touch."
"Okay. I'll show you how once I get that phone." Cloud grew nervous.
He hoped that things wouldn't turn out like his dreams.
