Unveiling

Light peered in through the windows, signaling it was day. The clock read 9 am, Sunday morning. The house was quiet and tension still lingered, mainly between Yazoo and Denzel. He still couldn't stand him, and doubted he ever could. Cloud had forced himself to not think much of Denzel because it made him feel this strange sad feeling that he still didn't quite understand. He would never accept it as heartbreak. Loz hadn't really been around him, but didn't need to because he'd known Denzel was Kadaj's friend for a while anyways since he'd driven him to places to meet up with him and other boys. Denzel appeared to be happy though, and to Kadaj that's really all that mattered at this point.

----------

Yazoo's eyes slowly opened to the pale pinkish color of flesh. He turned slightly red and gulped. He slowly looked over the chest and looked toward the person and turned redder. Cloud. He held his head, he didn't remember Cloud taking his shirt off last night... He then narrowed his eyes, 'Oh great...must be another fantasy dream.' He rolled his eyes. Of course, why else would he be in Cloud's arms, both shirtless on the couch asleep? A dream of course. He then smirked, "Might as well make the most of it." He said and stroked Cloud's chest with two fingers. It felt so real... He put his head against his chest and narrowed his eyes and kept stroking Cloud's chest. It felt so...right. Cloud's eyes started to open. Yazoo sighed and carrassed his chest a bit more, knowing it was soon time to wake up. He felt something on his hand now and looked down. Cloud's hand. He shut his eyes. Busted even in a dream, how fair was that? He sighed and waited to wake up, but didn't. "Y-Yazoo??" Cloud's voice said confused sounding and maybe even a bit of worry in it. Yazoo didn't bother opening his eyes, after all this was a dream, right? Right. Cloud kept his hand on Yazoo's and watched him really confused. 'Is he ok?? Maybe he need to go to the emergency room...' He took his other hand and put it over Yazoo's forehead. He did feel very hot...

"Yazoo," Cloud whispered in his ear, "I don't want you to go back with Loz to college tommorrow, you can later, just for now you need a break." Yazoo shook his head slightly. "Just let me dream in peace.." He whispered. Cloud watched him, "Dream?" He narrowed his eyes a bit confused and worried. 'Maybe he has a worse fever than I thought..' he kept his hand over Yazoo's forehead, "But Yazoo," He began calmly, "You're not dreaming." Yazoo's eyes shot open. He looked at Cloud and turned incrediably red. 'Shit.' He thought. 'How do I get myself out of this one?' he growled, 'There isn't a way out..' He sighed. Cloud laughed a bit. He turned and looked at him, then the question popped back in his head that had been lingering. Why was Cloud shirtless? 'Oh crap...please please don't say I took off his shirt in my sleep...' he turned redder(if that possible XD) and sighed. Cloud smirked, "Whats up with you?" Yazoo pointing to his chest without even looking at him as if saying, 'You really should put a shirt on.' Cloud ruffled his hair, today, he felt playful. Yazoo looked at him and blinked. "C-cloud?" Cloud winked at him, "I got hot, what with you on me all night and all." Yazoo's eyes widened and he coughed and turned away, trying desperately to hide his embarassment. (roles reveresed, eh? X3) Cloud laughed a bit, "Come on, lets go make breakfast." Yazoo nodded and stood. Cloud picked up his shirt off the floor and began putting it on. Yazoo stared at him, this was just too much. Cloud looked at him and blinked, "Aren't you gonna put your shirt on?" He asked. Yazoo jumped, "Erm y-yeah, sorry.." He picked up his shirt and put it on quickly. 'I have to get a hold of myself..' he thought and nodded. They headed to the kitchen, both thinking of what to make.

It took a while to clean the bowls and silverwear enough to be decent enough to eat with, but after that they quickly got done making toast and bacon. Not the most healthy meal, but they'd done it before and they could do it again. Yazoo and Cloud ate in silence. Finally Cloud slammed his orange juice down, making Yazoo jump and look at him, "I think we should go somewhere, just me and you." He said, smiling warmly at him. Yazoo turned pale and looked away, 'worst possible idea at this time..' He thought but instead said, "Sounds great, where do you have in mind?" He gulped, 'Please be normal..please be non-date like...' He kept saying in his head, "The movies." was Clouds answer. Great. Yazoo nodded, "Its a date." He choked out, then really wished he hadn't. He looked at Cloud, "I-its a figure of speech!!" he shouted. Cloud laughed, "I know that."He said. Yazoo nodded, "Right.." He said and stood to go take a shower. He was sweaty from the night and hated that feeling. "You have two hours, hurry I'd like to use the shower too." Cloud said to Yazoo before he left. Yazoo went red while trying to focus on walking...the image of Cloud in the shower popped into his head. He smiled and enjoyed that for a little while. The water falling off him...he giggled a bit. Loz who was standing in front of him because he had just came out of the bathroom gave him a crazy look, "Um...right..." He walked off and shook his head. Yazoo jumped, 'Crap..I so did it again!!' He growled, this was beyond annoying..

He walked into his room and pulled out a black T-shirt that said A.F.I. on it and some black baggy pants with chains on the side, took out some boxers and walked to the shower room and set them down on a chair then stripped and cut the water on and quickly got under the warm water. He shut his eyes, trying desperately to think of anything but Cloud. 'Damn it...warm water doesn't exactly help...' He growled and turned it down to cold. He jumped at first but relaxed. The water droplets felt like tiny needles piercing his flesh...really cold needles...but somehow it felt good... He quickly found himself thinking of Cloud again. Them at the movies..

Cloud had picked the movie..a romance movie. Yazoo had fought it at first, but decided oh hey whatever. Yazoo went and saved them seats while Cloud bought them candy and drinks. As soon as Cloud came they got quiet and watched the movie. As the movie deepened so did their feelings and Cloud eventually leaned over and kissed Yazoo on the lips. Yazoo kissed back and soon there were tongues involved. Yazoo stretched his hand out and grasped a handful of Cloud's hair. Cloud smiled in the kiss and even though both their lungs felt like they were going to explode they kept kissing. Eventually they parted and panted heavily, both sweating from such close contact. They held eye contact for a long time till someone yelled go get a room. They started watching the movie again and later on in it Yazoo felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked to Cloud. Cloud had a skittle in his mouth. A green one. Yazoo's favorite kind. Cloud smirked seductively, eyes clearly saying, you want it, get it. Yazoo smirked and leaned forward-

A knock was heard on the door, waking Yazoo from his fantasies. "Yazoo, hurry up before I come in there and get you out myself." Cloud called. Yazoo grinned, liking that idea, but knew Cloud meant nothing like the stuff in his fantasy world. "Really?" Yazoo shouted. His dream had obviously made him pretty cocky about himself, "You'll come in here with me butt-naked and pull me out of the shower? Will you dress me too?" He called out. Cloud fake laughed outside the door, "Ha ha, very fun, and yes I will if you don't hurry up!!" Wrong choice of words. "Then do it, I dare you." Yazoo said playfully, "The doors unlocked, its all yours." He smirked and laughed. He had just finished washing out the conditioner in his hair when the door swung open. He turned to it, but barely had enough time to even see who it was when the shower door swung open, at first he expected Loz or Kadaj and that this was all a prank but that was far from who it was. A blue eyed man stared at him, eyes locked with his, smirking. "Told ya." He said, as some water bounced off Yazoo's body and sprinkled against his clothes. Yazoo watched him blankly, thinking this was all a day-dream too. 'Shit now they are making me think they are real!?' He growled, 'I have gone crazy...' Cloud poked his chest, "Not as cocky as before, are you?" He said and smirked. Yazoo turned red for like the tenth time that day, "SHIT, THIS ISN'T A DREAM!!" he yelled. Cloud winked, "Took you long enough, eh?" Yazoo smirked, this was wayyy better than that movie fantasy... Cloud reached and turned off the water. Yazoo pouted, "Hey!!" He whined. Cloud laughed and grabbed him by the arms and pulled him forward, bodies colliding against each others. Yazoo tried to think of something to get all perverted thoughts out of his head but all he came up with was, "A-arent you afraid of getting your clothes wet?" Cloud smirked, "No, I'm about to take a shower anyways." He said. "R-right, then I'll just leave.."Yazoo said. Cloud shook his head, "Oh no you aren't, didnt you dare me to come get you out of the shower, naked, then put your clothes on you?" He asked, pulling off his jacket. Yazoo didn't get this at first, then thought about it..'HE THOUGHT I MEANT HIM NAKED!' "N-NO! I-I DIDN'T MEAN YOU NAKED!!" he said, but it was too late. Cloud smirked at him and pulled off his shirt. This was too much.. Yazoo ran forward and grabbed his clothes, "S-see you when you are done.." He said and ran toward the door, Cloud ran for him, but Yazoo made it just in time. Yazoo shut the door quickly and ran to his room, not really caring at this point if anyone saw.

------

He shook a bit from excitement, 'That was too close...I so almost lunged at him..he was just teasing...I have to gain control...He nodded and slipped on his boxers and pants, lastly putting on his shirt. He lay on his bed and untucked his hair, putting it all over his pillows letting it dry. He shut his eyes, trying to gain control again, but instead he fell asleep.

--

Cloud shook his head, 'Why am I doing this, I don't have feelings for Yazoo..' He shampooed his hair with warm water while thinking, 'Right...?' He nodded, 'Yeah..of course not. I don't think of him in that way in the least bit...then why was I unable to resist doing that...' He gulped. 'Oh no...I think I am starting to..no...no I'm not..!' He shook his head, he'd never let feelings win. It was hard enough resisting Kadaj, he didn't need Yazoo now too. 'I want to be with him so bad...'He finished washing the conditioner out of his hair and stepped out of the shower, towel drying his hair. He smirked, 'no...I NEED to be with him...that is till I find out what the heck I'm feeling.' He nodded and wrapped the towel around his waste, grabbed his clothes and headed to Yazoo's room in just a towel. He opened the door and smirked seeing Yazoo on the bed asleep. He shut and locked the door, to prevent anymore Kadaj incidents, then lay down beside him and wrapped his arms around him gently and held to his waist. He licked his cheek, "Yazoo.."He whispered in his ear. Yazoo's eyes slowly opened. He turned his head and let his eyes adjust to the light. He yawned then recognized what he was seeing. "You are so cute when you sleep." Cloud said, smirking. "I wasn't done licking you just yet, but alas you had to wake up..of course I still can-" "W-what are you doing???" Yazoo asked. "Hugging you while in a towel wet basically." He said. Yazoo growled, "I KNOW THAT!" Cloud laughed, "Then why did you ask?" Yazoo growled and looked away. "Want to help me get dressed? We still have an hour." Cloud said, pinching Yazoo's cheek playfully. Yazoo tried to ignore this, "Yes, but we need that hour to get to the movies Nii-san!" He said. Cloud pouted, "You are no fun, Yazoo." He said then sat up and pulled the towel off. Yazoo's head shot toward him and tried desperately to advert his gaze but was unable. Cloud smirked, "Like what you see?" He asked. Yazoo almost nodded, but caught himself thankfully, "Get over yourself." He snapped. Cloud laughed, "Deny it all you want." He said. Yazoo tried to keep his gaze from going downward but he failed miserably, and knew it, so instead he tried to make it not so obvious, but he failed at that too. Cloud slowly pulled on his boxers. "I'm sure you miss seeing that." He commented while pulling on his pants. It was a no brainer he knew Yazoo had been staring, anyone could see. Yazoo laughed, "Oh yeah baby, hope to see it again real soon." He said in a joking way and rolled his eyes. Cloud laughed and pulled on his shirt. He tossed something at Yazoo. Yazoo blinked and caught it. A bracelet? He snapped it around his wrists and muttered a thanks. "Lets go!" Cloud said and grabbed his hand, jerking him out of his room, down the stairs, and toward the door.

Instinctively Yazoo went for the car, used to riding in that but Cloud grabbed his hand again and stopped him, shaking his head. Yazoo gave him a confused look, "Then how do we get there?" he asked. "My motorcycle of course!", he said, grinning widely. 'Never been a passenger to one before...cept for the few times Loz managed to steal my keys before I noticed..' He nodded, "Er...ok...Nii-san." Cloud walked over and started the motorcycle. Yazoo followed and climbed on, holding loosely to Cloud's waist. Cloud shot off quickly, at a fast pace. He obviously wasn't worried much about cops. Then again, there weren't many out at this time.

----

Kadaj yawned and woke up. He sat up rubbing his eyes, "Did you sleep alright, Denzel?" He asked, feeling for him beside him but felt nothing. "D-Denzel?" He looked around, confused now. 'Was all that a dream...' he felt his head. He shook his head and stood up. 'No, it wasn't...I know that much. I'll just check downstairs for him.' He opened the door to his room and walked out, shutting it behind him. He walked past Yazoo's room, noticing he wasn't home. He raised an eyebrow but thought nothing else of it and slowly walked down the stairs. It was dark in the house right now. No one had left on any lights at all. He walked through the kitchen and noticed a note on the table. He walked toward it and picked it up, reading it,

Dead Kadaj,

It's me Cloud. Yazoo and I are going to spend the day together then go to the movies. I'll be back home at around tenish. If not that early don't get worried. I left you and Denzel some breakfast and three microwavable meals for you guys plus Loz. I know Loz doesn't wake up in time for breakfast. Well enjoy your breakfast, cya later.

Cloud(Nii-san)

He smiled a bit, he was glad they were going to spend time together, 'but where are they going before the movies...its only 10:30 am. The movies don't start until 7 PM...eh who knows with Nii-san...' He shrugged, 'but that doesn't explain where Denzel is!' He grabbed a piece of toast and ate on it while walking around looking for Denzel.

------------

Yazoo had been forced to hold tighter to Cloud because he purposely made the ride rough, and Yazoo knew it. He had his head burried in Cloud's back and his arms wrapped tightly around his waist. People who drove by shot them wierd looks. Yazoo couldn't blame them. It must have looked really really wierd to normal people...Most things they did looked wierd to normal people. It had been that way since forever so Yazoo had gotten used to it by now. He looked ahead and saw they were entering the dead part of the city. What could Cloud possibly want here? He thought about it for a bit. Tifa. (I DONT CARE WHERE THE HECK 7TH HEAVEN IS LOCATED IN THIS FANFIC IT IS LOCATED IN DEAD PART OF CITY!! I love you all.) He rolled his eyes. Tifa had had a crush on Cloud since she first met him, which was since Yazoo could remember. He hated the looks she gave him. Cloud never seemed to notice, but he did. They always got his blood boiling...of course he never said anything about it. They parked and Cloud pried Yazoo's hands off and got off and stretched. Yazoo jumped off, but didn't bother stretching. He was too busy looking for Tifa.

"CLOUDIE-SAN!!!" Came an excited womans screech. Yazoo knew right away it was that sick, twisted, red eyed freak Tifa... He tried his hardest not to attempt to glare a hole through her. It was very hard though. Tifa didn't seem to notice him though, so it didn't really matter. She was too focused on HIS Nii-san. Yazoo stayed close to Cloud watching Tifa approach. Cloud nodded and smiled, "Tifa. How is business?". Tifa shrugged, "Dead as always, but I get by...Yuffie has been staying around helping out. She's great." She smiled warmly at Cloud. Yazoo mentally cursed. Tifa grabbed his hand and squeezed it in a "friendly" gesture. "How about you, Cloud? How have you been? Is it hard taking care of the kids-" "We aren't kids, Tifa. Even Kadaj could survive on his own if needed." Yazoo interrupted. Tifa looked over at him, "Yazoo!! Oh, I apologize, I didn't see you there!" Tifa exclaimed. Yazoo rolled his eyes. "Big suprise.." he mumbled. Tifa then wrapped her arms around one of Cloud's, "Drinks on the house!" She exclaimed and drug him into the bar. Yazoo growled and followed, feeling like a useless dog.

Denzel hummed quietly and put more clothes into the washing machine. He'd been doing chores all morning including: Dusting the living room, mopping the hardwood floors, vacumning the carpets, scrubbing down the kitchen and the bathrooms, and now everyone's laundry. He didn't complain though, after all this wasn't even really his home.

"Denzel!!" Kadaj called.

Denzel smirked a bit, "Laundry room Kadaj-San!" He yelled. Kadaj's head appeared around a corner. He smiled warmly and walked up to his beloved Denzel, wrapping his arms around his waist and resting his head against his back in a gesture of love. Denzel blushed lightly and put more clothes in, having just a few more to go. "I see you are in a good mood, Kadaj-san." He said gently. Kadaj nodded and stayed in the position he was in. "I wanted to wake up to you though." He said. Denzel laughed a bit, "Tommorrow you shall. I promise." He said then poured laundry detergent into the machine, shut the door to it, and turned it on. He set the timer to stop in thirty minutes, he may add more time, it depended. He then lightly grabbed Kadaj's arms and turned around and embraced him in a warm hug. Kadaj burried his head in Denzel's chest, one arm wrapped around Denzel, and the other clinging to his shirt. Denzel kissed him on the forehead lightly, "Good morning Kadaj." He said gently. "Good morning Nii-san." Kadaj replied. Denzel's eyes widened, "W-what?" Kadaj gulped. Oops... "Er...Denzel-kun!!" he choked out.

--

Stepping into the bar it was barely lit, making it hard to adjust your eyes. Smoke was all in the room, making it even harder to see. The place reaked of alchohol and the smoke burnt your eyes. Yazoo couldn't believe someone could actually work here. He was having a hard time not choking. Cloud, on the other hand, seemed to be totally unaffected by all this. 'Unbelievable..' Yazoo thought, watching him as Cloud seemed to like being near Tifa. He shook his head while she pulled Cloud to a seat near the bar. Yazoo casually sat down beside Cloud and put his head on his hand, elbow on the bar, wondering how much longer they'd have to be here.. "HEY BLACKIE WHERE'S MY DRINK!?", bellowed an unfriendly drunkard who'd apparently been waiting a while. Tifa just chuckled, "Calm down you big baby," she said as she walked behind the bar feeling a decent sized glass up with beer, "It's not like I forgot about you, Cid." She said and slid his drink to him. Cid made an unfriendly noise and took a greedy sip of his beer, "Could have fooled me." he mumbled to himself. Cloud peered at Cid, "He hasn't changed a bit." He commented with amusement to Tifa. Tifa laughed and winked, "Well guys are guys."

--

Denzel's blue eyes narrowed, "What did you mean by Nii-san..Say isn't that what you call Cloud?" Kadaj gulped and looked away, "N-no.." Denzel watched him silently, "Do you have something for your brother?" There was a painful silence. "No. It's nothing like that." Kadaj finally said quietly, why was it though that he somehow didn't beileve that himself. Denzel caught the look in his eye..The unsureness. "Kadaj, whether or not you love him is your choice. Just know that I'll still always love you and only you." Denzel whispered, sounding sad. Kadaj looked up at him with confused eyes, "Denzel please don't think that."

There was a shifting upstairs meaning that Loz had finally woken up, leaving his bed messy.

Denzel just shook his head and let go of Kadaj, walking out of the room. "I'm going to go make everyones bed." Denzel called out, though he really just wanted something to get his mind off of everything. Anything. Kadaj looked at the ground, "Am I starting to get feelings for Cloud?" He whispered, eyes soft. He stayed silent in thought for a minute then balled up his fist in anger, "No!" 'I don't. I DON'T!' He kept saying in his mind, having an arguement with himself. 'Damn it!' He said then let out a sigh and dropped to the ground on his knees. He put his hands on the ground and kept his head down, starting to feel tears. He bit his lip in realization. 'I do..'

--

Yazoo growled, finally just pissed. Tifa and Cloud had been talking for over two hours now. Not a single word was offered towards him and he was tired of it. He planned on just walking home, Cloud wouldn't notice after all. He was too busy admiring Tifa's whole being. Yazoo shook his head, jealous, and slid off his seat. Cloud didn't glance at him. The silverette glanced at him, he'd hoped Cloud would have proved him wrong. 'Oh well.' he thought and walked past many drunks that shouting junk at him that he couldn't understand due to their slurred words, so he just finally ignored them and snuck outside, slamming the door shut behind him, not wanting that putrid air to slink out. He inhaled the air he'd been missing so terribly. 'Wow you never realize how much you can miss something so natural.' he thought to himself then thought he caught very faint music..

Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
'Cause this is just a game

It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me

'That's a 30 Seconds To Mars song..' Yazoo thought to himself, 'hn..Oh yeah, I forgot tonight and tommorrow is Music Shot.' Music Shot occured once a year, where the talented singers would line up and sing their favorite song. They goal was to sound as close as you could to them, and see if your instruments could match up. It was pretty tricky and most got laughed off the stage. Luckily for most you could take an artists lyrics and sing them your way, with different instruments or whatever, which was really just showing off your voice.

Yazoo smirked and flipped open his cell phone, dialing a number, 'This will get me noticed by Cloud for sure.'

So beautiful, beautiful...

What could Yazoo be thinking? P

Yay!! I finally finished! Yes, I know most of you want to kill me for the incrediably long wait and I'm sorry!! T//T I had a writers block..
That and people message me every five seconds on msn -, so finally I'm just like, Wow, I'll appear offline and work on a new chapter!
So I did. 3. I apologize about twenty times over guys, I'm truly sorry. Good news though, I'm working on two stories at once now. )

My latest is based on Vampire Plague, which is a very great book by the talented author Sebastian Rook. It's more of a calmer approach to vampires though, due to it being acceptable for the younger teens.
Does that matter to me? No.

My fic will still be rated T. :B
Why? Well Ben and Jack make the cutest damn couple ever! . Anyways back to SOML..
I'm going to try to update more often, you may message me any time and tell me to get my act together! )
