Lights Out

Zack arrived in the cadet quarters shortly before the Lights Out Curfew. Conforming to the shadows when necessary was a part of his training; so waiting for the blonde cadet and his bunkmate passed without incident. He doubted anyone had noticed him. This was confirmed when the two walked passed his hiding place, oblivious.

Reaching out and catching the roommate by his elbow, the First Class SOLDIER slipped a hand easily over his mouth. Strife continued into their shared room, unaware his companion no longer followed. The cadet in his arms trembled with fright and Zack released him; Cloud was the true target.

"Take a walk." The cadet before him was uncertain and glanced at the door to his room.

"Sir?"

"That's an order. If anyone questions you, tell them I need to have a private chat with your roommate."

Unhappy, though unwilling to argue, the teen walked away down the hall.

Zack smiled mirthlessly, anticipation coursing through him. Easy now, don't wanna scare the kid. Slipping inside the room, he switched off the light and closed the door. Cloud was sitting on his bed, and he looked up at the figure in the darkened room. "Marcus? What are you doing?"

The SOLDIER strode over to his bed, drawing a small length of cloth from his pocket. Without the Mako enhancements, Cloud's night vision was still adjusting. It gave the element of surprise to the First. Zack caught both the blonde's wrists while allowing his weight to fall gracefully downwards. "I'm not Marcus." He breathed. Strife's body was pinned beneath him, his wrists nearly together above his head.

A narrow rail framed the head and foot of every bunk like this. "Zack?" Cloud's wrists were pinned to the rail. "What are you doing?" The cadet's voice was edged with panic. Zack began tying them securely to the metal. "Zack, wait… please! I don't want—" His mouth was covered, while the elder SOLDIER began to strip him from the waist down.

"Shush baby. You'll like it soon. I promise." The young teen's eyes were wide and fearful. Removing his hand, Zack replaced it with his mouth. The searing kiss was only the beginning. Taking his time, the older man was determined to arouse the young recruit. I want him to cry my name and beg for more. Gaia I want him! "Don't scream, just try to relax."

Zack prepared the blonde slowly, drawing out his anticipation while Cloud whimpered beneath him. The cadet was growing tired, his struggles in vain. The SOLDIER held him down easily and would take him, willing or not. Placing a gentle hand over his mouth, Strife's scream was muffled, as the older man pushed into him. "Easy now, just calm down, baby."

Zack lasted a long time, extending his own pleasure as far as he could. When the blonde came in spite of himself, it sent Zack over the edge.

After cleaning and dressing both of them, the SOLDIER finally untied his young protégé. "Get some sleep, Cloud. We have a long day tomorrow."

Leaving the room, the First noticed Marcus leaning against the wall outside. They could both hear the quiet crying of the blonde cadet. Walking past him, Zack addressed him offhandedly, "Go for a longer walk next time."
