Cloud had stood guard all night at the bar. He didn't have to; it was just what he felt comfortable doing. He knew everyone in attendance at the party but still felt like an outsider. To say he did it to himself was an understatement but it was the way he liked things.

Besides, from this vantage point, leaning against the bar, he could keep his eyes trained on the only person he was concerned about. Reno.

Three months ago, Cloud had been sitting at this very bar talking to Reno. The redhead as always was teasing him about one thing or another. Cloud had taken it in stride, but there was something else that struck him. Reno's gaze lingered just a bit longer; his words were a bit too measured. Reno was hiding something from him and after all the two had been through in the last few years, Cloud didn't like it. Not at all.

So Cloud followed the Turk into the bathroom with the intention of forcing Reno to spill about what was going on. Instead of getting into the altercation that Cloud was expecting, Reno pulled Cloud close and kissed him. The control that Cloud had been counting on for the days, weeks, months, hell last few years finally broke. Reno woke the slumbering beast called Lust inside of Cloud. Cloud pounced on it and looking back it was one memory that kept a flame of desire curling in his stomach. Reno had tried to contact him for a week or so after their brief interlude in the bathroom but Cloud couldn't handle it. Every time the phone lit up and Reno's number splashed across the caller ID, butterflies crowded Cloud's stomach and he lost all nerve to speak with him. It was like having a crush for the very first time.

Cloud's sexuality was never something openly discussed. Not because he was shamed by it just that it wasn't anything that defined who Cloud was. As Cid had once quipped, 'If the damn savior of Gaia wants to fuck a fuckin' Chocobo then by Gaia let him!' Cloud slightly smirked as he remembered Cid slurring that statement before noting that Cloud already looked like a Chocobo and then told him to go fuck himself.

Searching the bar with his eyes, Cloud saw Tifa standing at the booth that Reno was at. Cloud couldn't keep his eyes off of him. The cat like grace that Reno possessed, the charming and boyish quality he exuded. Cloud wanted all of that to himself. Cloud mentally willed Reno to turn around and look at him, and as if answering his plea, Reno turned around and they locked eyes. The Reno placed the cool glass tumbler to his lips and tossed back the golden contents. Cloud watched as the redhead's throat moved to take in all the fluids. The blonde's eyes followed the small trail of amber liquid that started at the corner of Reno's lips and descended down his chin.

Cloud was instantly and painfully erect.

Sending a glare in Reno's direction, Cloud vacated the bar and headed upstairs to his bedroom/office area. He began to pace furiously, trying to think of anything to ease his arousal but nothing was working. The image of Reno swallowing the alcohol quickly morphed into Reno swallowing Cloud's erection.

Groaning in frustration, Cloud quickly locked the door and sat on his desk chair. There was no use in hoping that the situation would alleviate itself. He unzipped his sweater vest and threw it across the room. Leaning back, he closed his eyes and let his hands travel slowly across his pectoral muscles and abdomen as he thought about the redhead that was just a few hundred feet away from him.

As the moonlight that poured in from his open window coated his skin in a luminescent color, Cloud undid his pants and pulled out his straining cock. Biting his bottom lip in anticipation, he slowly wrapped his right hand around the base. He moved his hand up ever so slowly as thoughts of Reno's mouth replicating the motion over took him.

Cloud teased himself relentlessly. He would quicken his pace, twist his wrist around as he moved it up and down and tighten his grip until he felt the beginning of an orgasm approaching. Then he would back off completely, letting his cock weep for more attention.

The only sounds in the room were Cloud's own panting and muttered curses. He couldn't getting the mental image of Reno drinking that whiskey out of his head, every time he focused on how Reno kept eye contact with him as he tilted his head back and swallowed.

Distracted from what he was doing, Cloud heard the footsteps coming up the stairs. The party was over, Reno was gone. Suddenly feeling a lack of privacy even if the walls were thick and his door locked, Cloud went back to stroking himself, this time he wouldn't tease, he would give himself over to the feeling completely.

Fisting his cock in a punishing pace, Cloud's abdominal muscled clenched as he rubbed his left hand across it in a soothing motion.

"Re-Reno," he groaned as he spent himself all over his hand. Leaning back, Cloud took a much needed breath, grabbed a discarded towel wiped the sweat from his face then cleaned himself off. As he sat there staring out of his window he thought over everything. He wanted Reno but for the last couple of months, every time Cloud had tried to see him, the Turk he disappeared.

"FUCK!"

The unexpected shout from outside piqued Cloud's curiosity. Getting up out of the chair he walked over towards his window and peered down. Standing there next to his building was the man that filled his lust filled thoughts just moments ago. Reno. Cloud watched as the redhead lit up a cigarette. The bright orange glow of the lighter bounced off the walls, bathing Reno in a seductive glow. Cloud sucked in a harsh breath and moved quickly to the side as Reno turned to look up at his window.

Cloud wondered if Reno saw him, but as Cloud finally looked out the window again, Reno was shaking his head and walking out of the alley. This would not do, Cloud thought irritably. The Turk that had been invading his dreams and waking thoughts had been ignoring him and now was… doing Gaia knew what outside his window.

Cloud quickly crossed the room and grabbed his discarded vest and slung it on, not bothering to zip it up. Patting one of the side pockets in his cargo pants, he felt his keys jingle. With one last look at his locked door, Cloud realized there was only one way to catch up with the wayward redhead.

Cloud jumped out of the second floor window and landed in a crouch. Jogging silently up to his prey, Cloud slipped one hand around Reno's mouth, the other pinning the Turks arms together, holding Reno viciously to his body.

"Going somewhere… Turk?" Cloud whispered in Reno's ear before letting his tongue slide over the shell of the redhead's ear.

Cloud slipped his hand down from Reno's mouth and rested it on the man's throat. Reno swallowed and licked his lips before answering.

"Was just goin home to get shit faced and jack off while thinkin bout you Spike," Reno said in what he hoped was a snarky voice but had a feeling it was more of a moan.
"Too bad," the blonde said as he tugged Reno back to 7th Heaven. "We need to talk."

Reno couldn't help but have a small frisson of unease go up his spine, coupled with a strange sense of déjà vu.
