A pained moan awoke Cloud out of his blissful slumber. He rolled over onto his other side and much to his surprise (not) he saw a raven haired man laying beside him.

Said raven haired man was gripping his head and whimpering pathetically, he mumbled out something that could have been, "I'm never accepting alcohol from Reno again." But it was hard to tell.

Cloud decided to spare him the pain, and he reluctantly got out of his warm bed and trudged over the the window and closed the blinds.

"Thanks Cloudy." Zack held open his arms and Cloud gladly slipped into them, sighing in content as he snuggled up to the drool worthy chest of Zack the Fair.

A pounding at the door startled both of them.

"Hey, Strife! It's Ok to come out now! Me and Reno aren't going to do anything to you." More knocking followed.

Zack whimpered letting go of Cloud and taking hold of the pillows behind him and covering his face. "Kunsel, you got two seconds man... two seconds until you have a very hungover and sickly Zack chasing after you. And when I mean sickly, I mean it in a way that you'll be needing a long shower after I'm done with you."

Cloud bit his lip to stifle the giggles that was threatening to become full out laughter.

The other side of the door was quiet for a few seconds, and then. "I think I liked the times that I needed a shower for a good reason when you were done with me."

Cloud stopped his giggles and shivered. That's not a good picture to keep inside of my head.

There was a moment of awkward silence before Reno began laughing hysterically. "Yo, nice one Kunsel."

With a sigh, Zack stood and began dressing himself. Not caring that he was attempting to put on Cloud's shorts, which really weren't big enough for him.

The lock on the door clicked, and the door flew open.

Reno was kneeling, holding up a small wire and a triumphant look on his face. "See! I told you I could pick any lock, yo!"

Kunsel walked into view, a bored and unimpressed expression on his face. "Yes, all hail the mighty Turk, who probably only uses that talent to sneak into peoples rooms and rape them, seeing as he could never get laid any other way."

He stopped when he saw Zack, still trying to fit into the shorts. "Umm... Zack... I think those are Strife's..."

Zack looked down at them, as if noticing for the first time that they were definitely the wrong size and pouted. "Damn, you know you're still asleep when..." He detached the clothing article from himself and handed them to Cloud.

Cloud accepted them and held them out, shaking them. The sand fell everywhere. He frowned. I hate the beach... Well no, actually, just the sand.

"I guess you'll just have to go around naked." Kunsel said wriggling his eyebrows.

Cloud quickly when over to the other side of the bed and pulled out his suitcase, rummaging through it until he found a new pair of shorts, then he held them up victoriously.

All the men grumbled.

Kunsel knelt down beside Reno and whispered. "After he leaves the room, we're stealing that suitcase."

Reno nodded.

"Would someone please grace me with the presence of Tylenol?" Zack asked to no one in particular.

Cloud was amazed. He was laying down on on of the comfy beach chairs enjoying his day, and the guys were nowhere to be seen. It was already 12:00 and they hadn't even tried anything to get him to show more skin then was necessary. And when he meant more skin, what he really meant was that they hadn't tried to get him to go naked yet.

Why me? Zack's got a nice body! Why don't they make him walk around with nothing on! I wouldn't mind...

As if the 'great goddess' was listening to his thoughts, Zack walked over to him with his usual happy smile. And the only thing he didn't have on were his clothes. "Heya Cloudy, I made Reno and Kunsel go to the nearest store to buy some things for the bonfire tonight, so we're all alone!"

Cloud immediately averted his gaze, a fierce blush heating up his face. "Zack... Why aren't you wearing anything?"

Zack sat on the available chair next to him, laughing nervously. "Uh... Well, you see... They stole all of my clothes."

Cloud let out the breath he didn't know he was holding in, relieved that the reason Zack was naked, had nothing to do with taking their new relationship 'further'. "Why were they invited along again? It's not like they're making this vacation enjoyable."

Zack picked up a noodle float that was laying in the sand beside him and attempted to cover himself with it, but every position he tried ended up looked really wrong. He gently whacked Cloud with it, who had started to laugh when he noticed the awkwardness of Zack's situation. "Well at least they didn't steal your clothes..." Yet...

"Would it surprise you if I said I hopped Kunsel caught that one on camera?" Cloud snatched the noodle out of his boyfriends hands and hit him back with it.

"Did some one say 'Kunsel catching things on camera'? Because if you did... That is my job."

Cloud almost let out a rather embarrassing yelp as he was hugged from behind by the scary SOLDIER.

"And just so you know... I did happen to catch all that on tape. In fact, I was watching it while I was tapping it." He released Cloud and patted Zack on the head. "I've already thought of a title for it... It shall be called 'Zack and his Noodle'. And yes it's meant to sound suggestive."

Reno appeared on scene, his hands full of bags. "Dude I would buy that just because of the title."

"Well of course, who wouldn't want to see something like that? Noodle... Man I kill myself." He quickly picked Cloud off his chair and placed him on Zack's lap. "Though I'd rather see something like this."

Cloud shrugged. "This doesn't bother me." He snuggled into Zack who wrapped his ams around him.

"Reno, the 'subject' is getting harder to embarrass. We'll need to step things up a notch." Kunsel inched away from them and towards the house.

"Affirmative yo, Kunsel, you go up to the house and carry out tactic 2-F-77."

Zack and Cloud stared at them both with narrowed eyes.

"Alright puppy, while Kunsel's carrying out his mission, why don't you start the bonfire yo?" Reno handed him some paper and a lighter. "Me and Cloud will go collect some drift wood."

Without waiting for an answer, he pulled Cloud out of his arms and walked off determinedly with him.

"We're on a mission yo~ A mission to find wood~"

"Why are you signing?" Cloud asked, picking up the nearest piece of wood.

"It's the mission song yo!" Reno swung a stick around dramatically. "I just made it up like, half a minute ago."

Cloud rolled his eyes. "A genius you are..."

Holy Shiva, can you say writers block the size of the fourth dimension? I still have it too. I wrote this much in the last couple of months... yeah.. pathetic.

So please don't kill me, and if you must blame someone~~~~ Blame my rping buddies who have drained all of my creative juices with our random Gundam 00 rp.

Meh...

Apologies if this isn't as funny as the last few chaps.

Am I the only one signing Reno's random song right now to the '99 bottles of beer on the wall' music? O.o
