(Distant Memories) FF7 Cloud and Sepharoth By: Alex Garland Chapter 5
Seph closed the door behind him and walked out to the garage to meet up with his Hogosha. Seph leaned on the door frame to the garage just staring at Cloud as he worked on the fantastic pieces of machinery of the bikes. Cloud stood up and wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled at his finished work.
"Are they to your liking now Cloud?" Seph asked as Cloud jumped out of surprise.
""Gezz Seph give me a heart attack why don't ya, make some noise when you walk so I know your there."Cloud stated placing a hand over his heart feeling it beet fast.
"Awe now that wouldn't be fun I like catching you off guard because you act so cute when you're scared." Seph said with a smile.
"I'm sorry. I just have a bad feeling. I hope it's just me this is a first time I have had to travel so far for a client." Cloud said in a nervous tone.
Seph wrapped his arms around Clouds shoulders, "It will be ok Cloud you'll see." Seph reassured Cloud.
"Thanks Seph." Cloud smiled, "Well we best be off if we want to make it to Fort Condor by night fall."
Aeris wanted us to stop there any way to drop this off." Seph raised the binto boxes up to show Cloud.
"Ok that's fine by me." Cloud replied.
Cloud packed the binto boxes up in Sephs bike. Giving one last look over of the bikes Cloud and Seph rolled the bikes out of the garage. Seph looked over at Cloud and gave him a smile and Cloud smiling back at Seph as he went to the work show and coming back with two wrapped long thing in his arms. Taking the one Cloud put it in one of the spear sword holders in his bike. Cloud walked over to Seph with the other and handed the item to Seph.
"This is for you." Cloud spoke shyly and with a light blush on his face.
Seph unwrapped it and found it to be his sword free of Clouds blood and looking brand spankin new, "Cloud this is beautiful."
"When I cleaned it off early this morning there were cracks and one good blow would have broken it so I took it upon myself and re-foraged it with stronger material a steal diamond mixture to be exact." Cloud said with an even brighter blush and a smile.
"Oh hogosha you're the best." Seph hugged Cloud tightly
"I'll tell you more when we get to Fort Condor." Cloud said getting on his bike Seph doing the same and the both revved up their bikes and sped off.
Seph and Cloud left Midgar with a trail of dust behind them until they hit the Grasslands Area and from there they proceeded to the Chocobo Farm. At the Chocobo Farm Cloud and Sephiroth stopped for a break and to admire the finely raised Chocobo's. They then headed off towards the Marsh Cloud putting on his goggles/glasses and giving Seph an all knowing smile. They sped across the water of the march when a giant serpent appeared before them. Seph slowed down but Cloud sped up pressing a button on the side of his bike with his foot and the sword compartments opened. Cloud taking a sword from one of the compartments and closed the compartment with the same foot speeding up even more and cutting and killing the giant serpent. Seph looked on with amazement for Cloud looked like a butterfly in flight graceful, elegant, and wonderful the serpent never hand a chance agents his hogosha; his graceful butterfly. When they got to the other side they got off their bikes and pushed them through the cave pass for the loud noise of the engines would set off a cave in. That's when Seph got the idea for some small talk while they walked.
"You fought wonderfully Cloud back there agents that snake." Seph complemented
"Thank you Seph but most of what I did was from all those years ago from basic training nothing special." Cloud took the complement that Seph gave but with modesty.
"How much longer do we have till were out of this cave pass?" Seph questioned.
"Well we have about 10 minutes of walking left to do and then after we get out of here we have a 5 minute ride to Fort Condor." Cloud answered giving Seph more information than needed.
"Oh…OK that's all I really wanted to know." Seph replied
A few minutes passed and they exited the cave pass. Getting on their bikes they headed for Fort Condor. And like Cloud said Fort Condor came into view soon they came up to the gate. They were greeted warm fully and said hello to all they passed when they entered the gate and found that there was a party that night in celebration. Cloud handed over Aeris' binto boxes and informed that they mire attend if they weren't tired.
"Hay Seph…?" Cloud inquired
"Yes Cloud." Seph calmly replied
"I found that tonight is a party with food, drinks, and dancing and I was wondering if you wanted to go." Cloud asked.
"I don't see why not we don't have anything else to do while we're here." Seph informed.
"Really! You don't mind?" Cloud Said excitedly.
"Of course my hogosha. I would love to see you dance." Seph leaned in front of Cloud and nipped his ear lobe.
Cloud blushed, "Well the party doesn't start for another hour so that gives ups time to clean up." Cloud rush-ly said.
Cloud and Seph went to their separate rooms to get ready for the party. There was five minutes before the party started and Seph walked down to where the party was being held in a black tuxedo that was lent to him by one of the residents. Seph went to the Bar counter to wait for the love of his life. It was when as fast pace song was beginning to end when Cloud entered the room in a white tuxedo and Seph got up off the bar stool and head over to Cloud.
Seph bowed in front of Cloud and took his hand and kissed it, "you look stunning my beautiful hogosha."
Cloud blushed, "As do you hikari." Cloud giving a small smile.
Seph then heard and slow song start "My I have this dance?"
"Yes you may." Cloud said with a smile
They both walked out on the dance floor and embraced each other close as they danced.
What Day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
And I can't back down
I've been loseing so much time
Seph leaned to Clouds ear and whispered, "That is exactly how I felt when we weren't together and then when we found each other I became alive."
Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't take my eyes off of you
"Oh hikari you are my world and I will never take my eyes off of you because you have me under your loving gaze." Cloud replied with a smile.
All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping inwards
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
"Hogosha you make me all toung tied when I look at you but you make my world right." Seph said.
"Hikari you make me trip all over my self trying to make myself how I use to but it's not needed I see that now and until the day I found you my life was incomplete." Cloud truthfully tolled Seph.
Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
Seph picked up the pace of their dancing and began to do a waltz spinning Cloud around watching Clouds smile get bigger as they danced. Seph began to sing only modifying the song to fit them.
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything you do is beautiful
Everything you do I right
Cloud looked up to look into Sephs eyes.
"You puzzle me some times but when I watch you; you are beautiful and it seems so right." Seph quelled the question in Clouds eyes telling him the truth.
Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
With nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't take my eyes off of you
Seph took Cloud into his arms and dipped him in there dace holding Cloud in that position.
You and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
With nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
Seph leaned close to Clouds face and gave Cloud a passionate kiss that sent fireworks exploding within them.
What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
Seph pulled Cloud up and kept kissing until the next song began to play. Seph reluctantly separated and looked into his hogosha's eyes seeing love, want, and a touch of lust. They danced and drank all through the night and when the party was over in the wee hours of the morning Cloud and Seph went to bed to rest up for what the rest of the day would hold. When they woke up it was almost noon and Cloud was running around and getting ready as Seph was oblivious to why Cloud was running around to get ready.
"Hogosha what seems to be the problem?"
"We have to get to the ferry at Junon that heads for Costa Del Sol in two hours or it leaves and then we will have to wait for the next one in two days and we can't waste time like that and it takes usually three and a half hours to get to Junon from Fort Condor and were behind so that's why I'm running around Seph."
