ALSO: Not just Sephy's POV in this chapter! ^^

Chapter 006

Zack entered the cadet bathroom, seeing as he really needed to pee and running four stories just didn't seem worth it. Not that he had anything against the cadet bathrooms; he just didn't really need all those aw struck cadets starring him down while he relieved his bladder of his morning coffee.

Upon entering the bathroom he was mildly surprised to find it empty. He cocked an eyebrow. It was odd to find the cadet bathroom ever empty during break. He shrugged it off, not to terribly concerned as he strode to one of the urinals. He spread is legs a little bit, undoing his fly. He sighed. He was a naturally routy guy, but with all of the mako in his system that mixed with his still raging hormones—he was nearly always hard…or at least a little. Not that he minded, being semi hard was exhilarating and kept him in a pretty damn good mood…but it could get annoying at times as well. This was one of those times. He sighed, he had sparring with the general during the lunch period and now he was sporting a fully erect hard on. He groaned as he shook himself dry. "Damn it." He grumbled. He liked the general and they were friends, but he had to admit, the general was a homo-erotic sex symbolic wet dream just waiting to happen. He didn't really want to show up to their sparring session with a full on erection poking at his fatigues. As he flushed the urinal he glanced around. No one was in there; it wasn't like he'd get caught. Besides, what was so wrong with him relieving himself and sparing himself the embarrassment? He smirked and crossed the room to one of the bathroom stalls, closing it behind him. The stalls didn't lock, but they did have little turning knobs that read: OCCUPIED or VACANT.

*

Cloud slouched as he walked along the hall. He was aching all over and his head was throbbing. No doubt due to his hang over—he was surprised he even made it through that mornings training, he was sure glad that it was lunch time. He entered the bathroom, crossing to the sink. He turned on the faucet and splashed his face with ice cold water, attempting to wake himself up a little. He looked at himself in the mirror. He sighed. He was tired, and it showed. Cadets had it rough, and hardly ever got enough sleep. Sometimes Cadets would just fall over out of exhaustion, not even responding as the trainers kicked them in the ribs. Cloud had never done that, though he had fallen asleep while standing in line once, luckily for him he had his cadet issued helmet on and nobody had known the difference.

He stretched, several tired throbbing muscles in his back, shoulder, neck area popping loudly. He turned and crossed to the first stall, grabbing the small handle and opening the door. He froze, electric blue eyes widening, doubling in size as his mouth hung open as if someone had slapped him in the face with a frying pan. Zack starred back at him from over his shoulder. He was facing the toilet, cheeks slightly flushed, mouth barely parted, gloved hand wrapped around his erect shaft. It was as if timed had stopped and it took an eternity for anything to happen—though in all reality it only took about two seconds. Cloud quickly turned away, covering his eyes with his hands. "OH MY GAIA…ZACK…I'M SO, SO SORRY!" He said loudly, his panic stricken voice bouncing off the blah walls of the bathroom. "I SHOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT I WAS DOING!"

Zack merely gazed at the younger teenager as he had a sudden panic attack. He silently almost lazily slipped his still hard flesh back into his pants, turning to face his young friend.

"Cloud."

"I MEAN, WHY DIDN'T I LOOK AT THE SIGN?!"

"Cloud."

"THAT'S WHY THEY PUT THE SIGNS THERE RIGHT? SO PEOPLE KNOW WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS IN THERE!"

"EARTH TO SPIKY!"

Cloud jumped and turned, parting his fingers just slightly to see if Zack was decent. Zack gave him a slightly awkward smile. "It's okay Cloud, don't worry about it. Embarrassing stuff like this happens to everybody."

"You're—you're not mad at me?"

Zack shook his head.

"No, sure I don't want to repeat this little incident, but we're friends. I mean we talk we spar we know everything about each other, so my bet is in a couple of days we'll be laughing about this little encounter."

The next several minutes were spent swapping embarrassing stories, just to lighten the mood, which worked wonders. Zack was leaning against the corner of the row of stalls while cloud leaned against the counter.

The blond cadet blushed.

"Hey Zack, can I confess something to you?"

Zack perked up slightly.

"Sure yeah anything." He stated, he vaguely wondered what this confession would be. Cloud squirmed.

"Last night, well I guess when the general came to bed he…he heard me."

Zack cocked an eyebrow.

"Heard you?"

Cloud nodded.

"Yeah, I…I was dreaming about him, and well it wasn't your average dream."

Realization struck Zack like a chain slice across the face and a impish grin slid onto his lips.

"Oh yeah, was spiky having a naughty, naughty wet dream about the general?"

Cloud blushed crimson at Zack's playful comment, but continued none the less.

"And well, I woke up, or at least I think I was awake and he was hovering over me, sort of examining me." His blush depend. "I…I think I may have well umm…I think I may have rubbed myself the right way, against him the wrong way."

Zack nearly jumped in the air with excitement.

"Oh my Gaia, Cloud! Do you have a thing for the general!?" Not that, that wasn't a dumb question. Cloud scratched the back of his neck.

"I don't know, but Zack, what am I going to do if I see him? I mean, I never expect to be in his apartment again, but what if we bump into each other, what am I going to do? What if he's mad at me! What if he gets me kicked out of the SOLDIER program!" He was suddenly panicking now. "What if he does! He could easily get me kicked out of the SOLDIER program, SHINRA even!"

Zack walked over to the blond and gripped his shoulders, shaking him slightly.

"Listen Cloud, he didn't say anything this morning at breakfast, meaning he's blowing it off and no doubt thinks that you don't remember anything—so relax. I don't think Seph would try and kick you out of the SOLDIER program, but I can't promise that he won't give you hell. He may increase your training, or something. Who knows."

Cloud gave Zack a pouting look, and Zack's heart nearly broke. Cloud was so cute, it was amazing no one had jumped the kid and stolen his innocence yet—of course Zack may have had something to do with delaying that. He cared a lot about the kid, and probably killed anyone who dared to touch him that way. "Now listen, I have to go and meet Sephiroth for a sparring match and I'm already late—so just relax and I'll feel things out okay? And if I get any sign that Seph might try something horrible I'll forewarn you and try and talk him out of it."

Cloud nodded. Zack smiled, cuffed his chin and exited the bathroom, heading for his sparring match.

*

Sephiroth leaned against the wall, tapping his gloved finger against his elbow, jade eyes narrowing upon the bashful looking LT. "You're late." He stated pushing himself from the wall. Zack smiled innocently.

"I was held up in the bathroom." He stated with a light laugh. Sephiroth eyed him. He could pretty much place his finger on what kept the LT. After all his sense of smell was fabulous. He could smell the teenagers musk though it was faint, very faint. The teen probably had no more than a slight sensation of arousal. But there was something else that tickled Sephiroth's keen sense of smell. A slightly airy, foggy rain type smell, mixed with the scent of alcohol. 'He's been with Cloud.' His stomach nearly did a flip, and he mentally beat himself for allowing such a thing to happen. "So," Zack stated shifting his weight from foot to foot. "Let's begin I guess."

*

Once Zack had gotten his ass utterly kicked he claimed defeat and merely lay at the generals feet. Sephiroth gazed lazily down at him, it was true Zack really was no match for him, but they enjoyed sparring either way. Zack because it taught him new things and Sephiroth because he was stressed out and needed to hit something and Zack was a good target. "You seem distracted Seph." Zack stated, jumping to his feet, dusting himself off. "Something on your mind?"

Sephiroth turned his gaze away from his LT. he hadn't meant to act distracted—he just wasn't as good at hiding what little emotion he had when around his LT it seemed.

"Zack," He said quietly. "How is Cadet Strife doing in his training sessions?"

Zack was slightly surprised by the question.

"Well, umm he's doing fine I suppose, average at best but fine. He just needs to get some actual experience and he may be ready to pass the SOLDIER entrance exam."

Sephiroth looked thoughtful. Experience huh.

*

Zack exited the Shinra building in search of a blond little cadet on guard duty. He knew he could locate the blond at the main gate of the Shinra building—aka at the most boring post ever created.

As he approached he could see the blond slouched against the gate sighing in boredom. "I don't blame you." He called, causing the cadet to jump and look his way. Cloud looked eager as Zack approached. He scuffed the blond on the chin. "Well, he's not going to kill you or do anything too horrible to you."

Cloud's eyebrows knitted together and his blue eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"What do you mean 'too horrible'?"

Zack gave him a toothy grin.

*

Sephiroth entered his apartment, glad to find that his 'roommate' Zackary wasn't there. He was tired and agitated and the lingering scent that the cadet had left behind was maddening. He sighed, closing his door which locked automatically. He kicked off his boots at the door, and began undoing his shoulder pads and sword holster as he crossed his living room and made his way down his hall towards his bedroom. He closed that door as well before setting his shoulder pads, sword holster and long black leather trench on the chair in the corner. He was now only clad in his pants and was debating whether or not he wanted to change those as well. He shrugged and pulled them off. His bedroom door was locked and he knew no one but a Turk could access the code to unlock it. He stretched, feeling several strained muscles and joints pop before he crossed to his bed and laid down on his back stretched out. He let out a sigh. It was hot, and he sort of wished he had the capability to sweat. He hated how his body stored heat and he couldn't release it through loss of water, salt and bacteria. No, he wasn't normal, no he couldn't sweat, and he hated it. 'I can't wait to get out of this heat.' He thought, a slight smirk playing across his thin lips as thoughts of his plan for the following week floated to the surface of his mind. He couldn't wait, it was going to be fantastic. He rolled onto his side and rested his head on his pillow, inhaling the scent of the cadet. It was truly and intoxicating scent.

*

Cloud was in hysterics and Zack didn't know if he should laugh, comfort his friend or leave. The blond cadet was face down on his rack, pillow over his head, bottom slightly in the air. "Cloud, it'll be okay."

Cloud shook his head, which shook his whole body in away causing his bottom to sway slightly. Zack couldn't help but smirk at that, Cloud was so cute.

"No it won't!" Cloud whined pulling his head from beneath the pillow and sitting up on his knees gazing over at his friend. "I've already made a total ass out of myself, I practically tried to hump the general, Zack my life is over!" He cried. His eyes were puffy, he'd broke out into sobs the moment Zack had explained what the general had planned, and though his sobs had stopped he still felt like throwing himself off the plate.

Zack took a seat on the rack across from the blonds, he didn't really care who's it was. He waved a hand.

"Oh come on, listen tons of people guys and girls want to hump the general, or get humped by the general ok. You're just lucky you were drunk and that he thinks you don't remember ok? He honestly just wants to help you, he sees you have potential."

Cloud shook his head frantically

"No, no that's just what he told you cause he knew you'd tell me! You got a big mouth Zack!"

Zack pouted. "And he's planning something horrible, really, really horrible!"

Zack rolled his eyes.

"Stop being so overly dramatic. Act like a SOLDIER."

Cloud glared.

"I'M NOT A SOLDIER!" He snapped. Zack shrugged.

"Not yet." He sighed and leaned forward. "Listen Cloud, the general wants to help you, so accept it. He's really a nice guy when you get to know him."

Cloud whimpered and fell back onto his rack.

*

Cloud stood out of the motor pool office, trembling. The motor pool itself was a large open mouthed garage with many different vehicles that would take different people different places. He'd never had a reason to use the motor pool. He'd heard stories of other cadets who had been ordered to go out on assignment with a higher up who had to use the motor pool. A upper would simply pick a cadet or two and take them out on assignment, it was frightening and almost cruel. The cadets would never know what they were in for, ever. All they'd know was that the goal was to learn as much as possible in order to pass all of the SOLDIER tests. Cloud trembled, he was going on assignment with Sephiroth. He was going alone with the general. He was either very excited or very terrified, he couldn't decide which.

"Good morning cadet Strife."

Sephiroth smirked as the blond nearly jumped five feet in the air. It was obvious his nerves were shot, no doubt from that mere fact he was going to be going out on assignment with the great GENERAL. "Follow me." He stated, leading the blond over to a large iron walled truck. Sephiroth jumped in, receiving salutes and 'Good morning General Sephiroth, Sir!' from the two other SOLDIER second classes who were already seated in the back. He took his own seat, nodding to them before gazing out at the dumb struck blond. It was true they would be going out on assignment alone—but since Sephiroth didn't want to do extra paperwork he decided to commandeer a truck that was already going out on assignment in the same direction he planned on going. "take a seat cadet." He stated. Sephiroth felt a slight rush of power as he watched the small cadet climb onto the back of the truck. He was small in frame, and was rather unorthodox. He pushed this odd sense away and merely smirked amusedly at the cadet.

*

The ride was quiet, and Sephiroth feigned sleep as not to be bothered by the two second class SOLDIERS. He rested his head back, listening to the two converse cheerfully and to the ever so often 'shifting' of the cadet sitting directly across from him. They were so close, their knees almost touched, but Sephiroth didn't let that cloud his mind, he needed to be sharp in order to execute his plan. Though he was excited about his plan he hid it well, kept a cool head, but this odd sensation nawing away at the back of his mind was beginning to bother him. He'd had it all evening and morning long, this sensation that he was forgetting something, something very important. Something involving him and a second party. He mentally shrugged off the feeling and rather focused on his plan.

*

Several hours later Sephiroth climbed off the back of the military truck, his high boots causing the grass beneath his feet to crunch slightly. He turned as the blond cadet jumped out of the truck, stumbling slightly. The truck drove off, leaving the two alone. Cloud looked around. "Uh Sir, where are we?" He asked. Sephiroth smiled.

"A place ever second and first class SOLDIER call 'no where'." He stated, turning towards the woods, cadet following quickly behind him. To ever one of Sephiroth's strides Cloud had to make two, the general just had really long legs. Cloud felt himself blush as he thought about the generals long, strong legs. He shook his head. He was an assignment, he needed to stay alert. "Uh Sir…since we are out in the middle of nowhere…uh what if we get into trouble?" he asked, knowing how utterly stupid he sounded. "Like, what if there are snakes or poisonous marvroles out here?"

"Don't worry Cadet, the only thing you need worry about are the Behemoth. They breed out here." He stated, glancing over his shoulder in slight amusement at the cadet who had halted in his footsteps, mouth hanging agape. He paused, turning to gaze at the stunned cadet, who took several uneven steps towards him.

"What do you mean Behemoths?! And what do you mean they breed out here? That means they're at least level 80 monsters!" He fumbled, eyes wide and semi pleading. Sephiroth ignored the pleading questions and turned continuing on his way. Cloud whimpered and followed, dragging his feet. He knew he was going to die out there. No, first he'd make a fool out of himself in front of his IDOL and then he'd get himself killed. What a way to go. "Are there…actually Behemoth out here?" He asked quietly as he followed behind the older and more experienced man.

"I wouldn't have warned you if there were no reason for caution cadet, I do not joke nor do I lie." He stated, another sudden sensation of forgetfulness and uneasy nawing at his insides. Cloud hung his head.

"If I'd known that this is what we'd be doing I wouldn't have showed up." He grumbled, receiving a searching look from Sephiroth. 'That is not the Cloud I know.' The thought was random and he hardly registered it at all as he eyed the blond.

"That would have been insubordination Cadet Strife. If you have not yet caught on, I am bringing you out here to help you pass the SOLDIER exam."

Cloud's head shot up and he gazed wide eyed up at the general. General Sephiroth had never opted to help any other member of SOLDIER, which caused Cloud's heart to skip a beat and his stomach to flutter. He felt foolish but to be receiving such focused attention from the man he used to (cough) masturbate to was greater than his wildest dreams. "Now Cadet Strife, I would like you to attack me." Sephiroth stated, pulling his sword from it's sheith, jade eyes narrowing at the young cadet. Cloud gaped in alarm.

"You've got to be kidding!"

"I've already told you I do not mess around." Sephiroth stated. Cloud jumped as in a blink of an eye the general was in front of him and the next thing he knew he was sent flying into a nearby tree trunk. He groaned quickly pulling his casual shinra sword to defend himself. Cloud yelped as Sephiroth rounded the tree and aimed for him again. He quickly lowered himself to the ground the blade of the generals sword missing him by a mere hair, which fell to the ground, he spun and shot up his leg hitting the general in the chest. Sephiroth let out a slight grunt in surprise, he hadn't expected that. Cloud yelped and quickly scurried to find footing as the general began attacking him again.

"Damn!" he yelped as he stumbled to the side and then was slammed on his back the general towering over him. Sephiroth gazed down at him.

"Congratulation's Cadet."

Cloud blinked.

"Huh?"

Sephiroth leaned down and pulled the cadet to his feet.

"You will make it into SOLDIER no doubt about it." He stated mater of fact like.

"But, but how…."

"It takes a talented SOLDIER first class to lay a single hit on me…and for a mere cadet to kick me square in the chest," he smirked. "Takes talent." He stated turning and walking away. Cloud felt a huge grin plaster itself on his face. Not only had the general complimented his ability (in an odd way) but the general had 'smirked' at him. Not his usually coy 'I'm going to kill you' smirk but a true 'I'm proud of you' smirk. Cloud felt his stomach flutter again as he picked up his sword and followed after the generals retreating back. Ready to die right then and there due to sheer happiness.

*

Sephiroth began heading back to 'base' which in all truth was a very small camp site he had picked out. He had gotten fire wood to cook dinner with and was wondering how far along the cadet had gotten with the actual assembly of the camp site. When he passed through the trees to the small incased clearing he found the cadet inside the 'unassembled' tent, pole sticking out one end the other sticking straight up. Sephiroth stood there and smirked as he watched the cadet struggle with the tent. Sephiroth recalled when he had first attempted putting up one of the shinra tents and also recalled he, Angeal and Genesis had slept out under the stars due to his poor temper (Which lead to the tent being torn to pieces).

Once Cloud had managed to get three of the four poles into place Sephiroth made his presents known by entering the campsite farther. "How are things going Cadet?" He asked sarcastically. Cloud snarled at the tent, jabbing the remaining pole at it.

"I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS POLE GOES!" He snapped before throwing it on the ground and kicking it. Sephiroth felt the corners of his lips twitch upward. He couldn't help but chuckle as he set the fire wood down.

"This is one of Shinras four man models Cadet Strife." He said walking forward and picked up the pole, easily locating its place and finishing up the tent. Cloud was beat red in agitation and Sephiroth smirked down at him. Cloud huffed and looked at the tent.

"Uh sir…are you sure it's big enough?" He asked bending down to gaze into the tents open flap. Sephiroth cocked his head to the side.

"What do you mean Strife? It's a four man tent, we are only two men, it will be plenty big."

Cloud blushed as he stood up straighter.

"Yes, well…I just would have figured you would want more space."

Sephiroth shrugged his shoulders as he started the fire with a simple fire spell.

"I shared tents smaller then this with two and more other men before, and though I like my space I am accustom to not getting what I want in that department."

*

Cloud sighed, he was laying on the farthest left hand side of the tent, Sephiroth on the right, their things separating them. That had been Cloud's idea, he just couldn't handle being in such close courters to the general in such a situation. And even now when he as positive the general was sound asleep he couldn't help the erection poking up at his sleeping bag. Both were in sleeping bags, and both were naked. Sephiroth had explained that, that way they would both retain body heat and wouldn't freeze, after all 'nowhere' seemed to get frigid at night. Cloud hated to admit that he unconsciously fondled his erection, slightly lost in his nakedness and the warmth produced by his body that remained in the sleeping bag. And after a little while, his hand merely rubbing his erection slowly his mind and body relaxed enough for him to fall into sleep.

Awhile later Cloud sensed the world around him. His eyes fluttered open and he was startled to see the general leaning directly over him. He was clearly amused. Cloud noticed he'd somehow squirmed or kicked off his sleeping bag and was now laying uncovered, naked with his hand on his hard erection. Cloud yelped and rolled away, hiding his erection as best he could with his hip and hands, glancing horrified back at the general who was smirking broadly towards him. "You have a nice buttock cadet Strife."

Cloud's face turned bright red and he was sure he was going to be sick right then and there. He wanted to die, wanted to cry, but he wanted to die more. Sephiroth leaned down, his hair spilling over the teens smaller frame as he leaned towards the blonds now red ear. "Do you want help with that Cloud?" He asked, gently running his hand along the teens lower back. Cloud's head went limp and he bowed hit, eyes closed. He was still turned away from the general, but Sephiroth continued gently rubbing the teens back.

After several minutes of the generals large hands rubbing and massaging his back Cloud realized how much he'd surrendered himself. He suddenly remembered the General was also naked and that maybe the general wasn't teasing him. Even if he was being teased, Cloud so desperately wanted that large hand to go lower and touch his bottom, which the general had teasingly complimented. The blond shifted slightly, keeping himself hidden as much as possible while he glanced back at the general, who had climbed over the wall between them and was seated behind him. The general's general was stiff, which caused Cloud's own hard flesh to throb longingly. Sephiroth smiled scooting closer to the cadet, pushing him gently back into a laying down position and claiming his lips. The blonds eyes widened as he gazed into jade green.

This hadn't been part of Sephiroth's plan, but the sight of the cadet touching himself in sleep and the smell that came with it was too much for even the general to ignore, mostly when he felt himself so attracted to the Cadet, how he hadn't noticed it earlier was beyond him, had he lost his mind? He didn't understand it, but he was glad he figured it out. He broke the kiss. "It's okay Cloud, don't be shy." He whispered, gently nuzzling the blonds temple. "I just," 'Want to fuck you to oblivion.' "Just want to kiss you." He said quietly. The blond's skin was tinted pink, illuminated through the sky net above the tent that allowed the light of the full moon to spill in. His lips were parted as haggered breath passed through.

"I…I want you." Cloud whispered. Sephiroth starred at him. "I always have."

Sephiroth felt his heart skip a beat. "I've always had a crush on you, but when I came to Shinra I knew I'd fallen in love with you."

Sephiroth claimed the cadets lips as he gently lowered his hand and gently poked at the boys puckered entrance. Cloud gasped, breaking the kiss and squirming slightly. Sephiroth gently kissed his jawbone.

"I don't know how long I've wanted you Cloud, I just can't believe I've waited so long for you." He stated, lifting his finger and wetting it with his own saliva before lowering it again. Cloud lifted his hips meeting the generals finger as it pushed against his entrance.

As he caressed the blonds opening with his finger the blond moaned and gasped when Sephiroth leaned down and gently licked at his nipple. Sephiroth paused as a yelp escaped the blond as his finger pushed passed his entrance and into him. "Do you want me to stop?"

Cloud shook his head.

"No…but…it feels weird…please…go…s-slo…"

Sephiroth mentally noted what the teen was saying. He was a virgin. He gently kissed the blonds lips.

"I'll be as gentle as possible."

Sephiroth gently positioned the teen on his stomach and gently lifted the boys round bottom, gently brushing his wet head against the boys puckered entrance. Cloud let out a cry and gripped onto the sleeping back, tucking his head slightly as the general entered him. Tears burned the corner of his eyes at the burning sensation ripping at his back side. The pain was blinding, though the large hand holding his hip and the other gently rubbing his shoulder blades seeped warmth and comfort. Sephiroth gently stroked the boys trembling frame as the blond let out the breath he'd been holding against the pain in a large wisp of air before taking a large gulp of air. "Do you want me to stop?"

Cloud shook his head at the quietly asked question. The general gently gripped the boys hips pulling himself out slightly, before pushing back in, he repeated slowly, moving out farther with each slow steady thrust, the sound of pained whimpers almost making him stop all together, but the slight panting that slowly began to follow began to encourage him that the pain was passing and the pleasure was beginning to kick in.

Cloud let out a pleasured scream as the general's cock was so deeply embedded in him that it pushed firmly against his prostate. Both were moving, quickly and with no apparent rythem. IT was obvious to Sephiroth Cloud didn't have the coordination yet to match any rythem, he was very much a virgin, awkward and uneasy. Their bodies continued to meet, back and forth, in and out. Sephiroth could feel the muscles beginning to slowly tighten around him and with the teenagers ever growing moans he knew the blonds orgasm was soon to come.

Several thrusts later Cloud out a strangled cry, his entire body tensing as he began shooting his load onto the sleeping bag. He curled in on himself slightly groaning and moaning in ecstasy as he came, his body being racked with convulsions. Sephiroth came with a grunt and bent over, resting his forehead on the blonds trembling shoulder.

Sephiroth pulled out of the cadet and eyed him. Cloud was on his side still trembling from his orgasim, eyes clamped shot, knees pulled up to his chest tears rolling down his cheeks. Sephiroth gently leaned down and pulled him close. "Are you okay?"

Cloud nodded, sniffing slightly turning in the generals arms, opening his shining, watery blue eyes.

Sephiroth understood and gently pulled the teen to his chest, cuddling him. Cloud snuggled against his chest, and felt the General pull his own 'clean' sleeping bag over them both as he held him. Cloud felt foolish for crying, but he couldn't hold back all of the emotions he felt in that one moment. "Cloud."

"hmn?"

"I love you."

Cloud let out a sob, and the generals eyes tightened around him. His wildest dreams couldn't have matched to this moment, this awkward and beautifully cliché moment. The general loved him, and he loved the general. He prayed that when he woke the general would still love him, but he didn't linger on this thought, and instead snuggled as close to the general as possible and let sleep wash over him.

Sephiroth closed his eyes sighing in content, waiting for sleep to claim him like his deep breathing lover when a seemingly lost thought crossed his mind. "I don't understand."

But before he could figure out where the thought had come from, he had fallen to sleep.

Well, this chapter was much longer, and there is a lemon. I know that it's probably the worst lemon ever written, but I think it's sweet. I like the awkward cliché first time between cloud and sephy. ^^

Now, please review.
