Oh god…I haven't updated in so long, I feel like quitting everything just to start over.

But I can't do that.

I love writing too much, and this was my first successful fic so…

On with the story! :D

Stupid internet was down for almost a year now. O.o my mother HATES me people…she obviously thinks I don't have any other way to vent. Other than boxing. ANOYHOW!

I hope you all enjoy this. It's taken me a while to think up. :3

Chapter 8: Find Me

He watched as Cloud was dragged into the small infirmary, surrounded by friends and doctors. He didn't dare walk in though. He had done quite enough for Cloud. Though he had grown impatient with his midnight lover, he knew that, with everything that happened, Cloud must have been him.

He couldn't match the sound of his voice to his lover's, only the light panting he heard when they were in the helicopter, a light groan from the blonde moving his sore muscles. And of course, the yell he heard on the screen before he went to rescue him.

But then again…

Cloud seemed so innocent. So pure. As if no one could break him, even though he had been raped all those times. Beaten. Tortured.

With a frustrated growl, Sephiroth turned away from the glass window, his bright gaze falling on his apartment building on the other side of the ShinRa tower.

What was he going to do?

Go home and wait again for his lover?

And if his lover was Cloud…

Would he have to wait until Cloud made a recovery?

With a clenched fist, his teeth grit slightly, his mind jumbled. He didn't know whether to believe his lover was Cloud, or just let it all go and believe his angel had been a simple memory of the night, a shadow of his dreams.

But how could he?

He knew he had felt that soft skin under his fingertips. He knew he heard that sweet voice cry out for him, night after night.

It had been so simple.

He thought that after he saved Cloud, the blonde would admit it, but he got nothing, not even a simple piece of information, a riddle.

Did his angel wish to avoid him? To leave him alone? To make him forget?

"…" He sighed softly, leaning back against the metal bench in the common room.

How could he forget?

All he could think about was when he would see his love again.

With a soft groan, his fingers slid over his rock hard erection slowly, teasing the throbbing member. His hand trembled, clutching the edge of the sink as his aquamarine gaze watched his thumb press into the slit of his cock.

He hadn't done this in so long, he almost forgot how.

"Mmmh…" he cooed, his long digits sliding over his hard length, sending light shivers up his spine and making the rod ooze with pre cum. He desperately needed release, the plaguing thoughts of his lover's body making him shudder and shift on his bed.

He had tossed and turned, ripped his blanket to shreds just thinking about his angel, wanting to hold him close to his body. He would do anything to get his angel to return to him, but…he could do nothing since he knew nothing of the male.

He was so sick of being alone. Now that he had tasted the sweet elixir of his lover's tongue, touched the soft silk of his body, he wanted nothing but to be with him.

He could imagine his angel, laying in wait on his bed, those long, smooth legs spread, his back arched off of the silk sheets, moaning his name loudly. Shoving his own soft digits into that puckered entrance. Covered in a light sheen of sweat. Whispering softly, calling out to him, and sobbing out his name in his release.

And with that, he opened his clenched orbs and felt his fingers covered in his own cum.

He slumped against the bathtub wall, his eyes blank as he looked up at the ceiling.

Reality.

But his head shot back as he heard a soft rustle in the hallway, a light chuckle, and a door shut.

Quickly, he stood, cleaning himself off and putting on a dark blue robe. With a frown, he walked out of the bathroom, his hand clenched into a fist as he walked down into his bedroom. His head tilted slightly, his hand reaching on to flick on the light.

And his lips curved into a smile as he looked at the small display on his bed.

A rose, in a silky white color, lay nestled on his pillow, a small card with the nickname "Sephy" laid beside it. He didn't know whether his angel knew he was here or not, but he shrugged it off. He would see his lover sooner or later, if not now. He would track him down.

It was in his blood, twisted as it may be, not to give up on what he believed in.

He walked over to the bed, tying his hair back into a low ponytail before sitting down and grabbing the card. He laid the rose on the nightstand, slipping open the small envelope and taking out the card inside.

It was blank on the outside, no words or images, but there were pictures along with the note inside the envelope.

Oh, dear~

It seems we've been apart for far too long, my love. I wish to hold you…Now.

But we shall meet where I am able.

The resort on Loveless Boulevard. Room 313. Don't worry about others seeing you. The streets are empty and the lights of the theatre have been shut off.

It seems uncanny, me asking you to come to me this time, but I can't do this any other way.

…I know that I've been gone for a while, but my job calls for it…I was so angry that I couldn't be with you, my love. I needed you desperately through the time that I was away.

I missed you so~ but knowing that I would soon return to your strong embrace was the only thing that kept me going.

If you do not wish to come be with me, I understand, simply do not come.

But, since I have not been able to tell you for quite some time now…

I love you. Always.

-C

Do not come? Was the man insane?

Sephiroth was already dressing himself, his teeth nibbling on his lip. He couldn't really understand why he had to set up their meeting somewhere other than his room, but it was up to his lover. He would have flown halfway around the world if he had to.

He shifted, looking down at his all black attire. The black dress shirt fit snug over his chest and stomach, and his black slacks fit those strong hips perfectly. He slid on a pair of black shoes, not giving a damn who would see him.

He had to be with his angel.

Now more than ever.

He brushed those silver locks into a higher ponytail and walked out of the room, tucking the note into his dresser drawer and switching off the light. He grabbed his keys, putting them in his pocket as he opened the door, letting out a surprised grunt.

"And where do you think you're going at this time of night, mister?" Zack frowned, crossing his arms over his chest as he glared up at the male. Angeal, standing quietly beside him blocked the other way out, and Lilly smiled politely as she stood beside the older.

"Yes, pray tell, where are you going?"

"And looking all professional too."

"So?"

The general sighed softly, shaking his head. "Let me through, I have things to take care of."

"Can't they wait until morning?" Angeal stated softly, his dark gaze landing on the silver haired male's face.

"No. It's important." Sephiroth was growing rather annoyed now, his eyebrow twitching slightly. Lillian, catching sight of that twitching brow, moved Zack aside.

"Zack, just thank him and go. He must be busy."

"Thank me?"

The raven haired teen sighed softly, letting his arms fall limp to his sides before stepping forward and wrapping his arms around the general's waist.

"Thank you for saving Cloud...I know he should be thanking you himself, but he's still stuck in his apartment and unable to move."

The male sighed softly, hugging Zack back only lightly. "It was no problem to me, Zack. He's a friend to us both; I couldn't just leave him there."

The raven nodded and stepped back, looking up at him with a smirk. "Hot date?"

Sephiroth let out a chuckle as Lillian began to giggle. "Something like that."

Angeal raised a brow, looking over at the general. "Ohh, secret meeting, huh?"

"That's more like it. Can I go now?" The trio nodded, moving out of his way and letting him close his door. "Thanks." He walked off, not really caring if they went into his apartment or not, since he his things very easily in there.

Now it was just a matter of finding his angel.

End Chapter

I'm sooo sorry it's so short, but I will update ASAP since I'm actually working on the next chapter as you read. I am so happy with how this came out…though many may not like it since it has rape and such but most of my stories do.

Thank you to everyone that has waited for me and for those that have reviewed and put me on alert.

I loves you all, you guys are the sex! :D
