Chapter Two
Lying in the bed still on the edge of sleep, Jaycyn blinks and jerks back at the site of Cloud on top of him. "What the…" Jaycyn mutters as he blinks a few more times and still sees the brunets face.
"Pills for your headache, can't have you going looking for a job with a hang over now can we?" Cloud smirks and forces two aspirin and a glass of water onto the pale blonde haired guy under him.
"You know you'll have to get off of me if you want me to take those pills. And besides you're distracting me." Jaycyn says as he lifts his hips just to feel the firm ass on top of him.
"Now now, that's not very nice dude." Cloud smirks and gets off of the blonde.
After swallowing the pills and his raging hard on, Jaycyn sits up in bed and looks at Cloud fully. "There is no way in hell I could get someone like that, his chocolate brown hair and eyes. That scar across his face, and those leather pants, shit if only I could fit in them." He thinks to himself as he tries to cover up his still erect manhood.
"Could you give me a few minutes to get ready?" Jaycyn asks tersely and receives a grunt and a laugh.
"I don't know why your being so modest you all but confessed your undying love for me last night." Cloud grinned again, turned around, walked out of the bedroom, and quietly closed the door behind him.
"Now what have I gotten myself into, going to a strange bar to drink, getting drunk and having a good looking and polite guy take me home? Shit if only mother could see me now!" Jaycyn mutters to himself as he quickly grabs some clothes.
"Oh and by the way I've already picked out your clothes for today Jaycyn, their in the bathroom with the tub already filled." Cloud says loudly as he hears the fridge open up.
Shaking his head, Jaycyn makes his way to the bathroom, which is the only other room with four walls and a door like his bedroom. Bending over first, he switches on his cd player and cranks it up hoping that it will drown out the sound of him singing along. As the chorus of the first song wells up, Jaycyn finally takes the time to look at the clothes that Cloud has picked out. "What the..." Jaycyn starts but then stops as he sees the price tags all on the clothing.
The first item he sees is a cute pair of C-IN2 briefs, pure black save the little details in yellow. "Nice." He says to himself as he looks at the jeans, "Low rise of course and baggy in the legs." The name of the brand is nothing he has ever heard of same with the tight scarlet and black tank top. Shaking his head slightly, as to not rattle his brain around anymore then necessary, Jaycyn takes off his boxers and slides into the nicely hot bath water.
As he cleans himself of the grime of yesterday and last night, he begins to sing.
*Kneel...
In silence...
Alone...
My spirit bares me...
Pray...
For guidance...
Towards home...
Kneel... (dream within dream we travel)
In silence... (empires of faith unravel)
Alone... (sealed with our virtues' treasures)
Kingdoms falling...
Down... (who's hand commands this thunder)
In silence... (cry as we're torn asunder)
Alone... (unto what gods do i call?)
Protect us in our...
Fall...
Away...
My soul wandered... borne by grace...
I flew on high...
Sheltered...
From this thunder...
Calling heaven.
Take me away from time and season,
Far far away we'll sing with reason,
Prepare a throne of stars above me,
As the world once known will leave me.
Take me away upon a plateau,
Far far away from fears and shadow,
Strengthen my heart in times of sorrow,
Light the way to bright tomorrows.
Answer our call in desperate hours,
Shelter our fall from earthly powers,
Temper our souls with flame and furnace,
Bear us toward a noble purpose.
Heaven hides nothing in it's measure,
Mortal men blinded by false treasure,
Formless and vanquished we shall travel,
Shield and sword will guide our battle.
Take me away from time and season,
Far far away we'll sing with reason,
Prepare a throne of stars above me,
As the world once known will leave me.
Opening his eyes as he finishes the song, Jaycyn frowns deeply as he knows his voice was heard. Letting the bath water out he dries himself off slowly to make sure he's all-dry. Slipping into the briefs, they hug all the right places and feel comfortable, same with the jeans although he knows that his ass is more prominent in them. Slipping on the tank top Jaycyn sprays himself with a little cologne and walks out of the bathroom to Cloud sitting still on the couch.
"So you sing." Cloud says as he grabs up his bottle of water and looks stoically to Jaycyn.
"Yeah I guess I do, well a little. Thanks for the clothes Cloud they fit perfectly. Just let me slip on my socks and shoes and I'll be all set." Jaycyn says as he sees a box on the coffee table next to a pair of black socks.
Jaycyn looks at Cloud and hears "Couldn't help myself." And he turns away while Jaycyn puts on the black Lugz.
"So where to first oh master of fashion?" Jaycyn snickers and grabs his long leather trench coat and grey scarf.
"We are going to Vincent's to see if he has a spot open. And don't wear the trench it hides your assets. Wear this coat Jaycyn." Cloud says lightly as he hands over a black leather bomber jacket similar to the one he saw on that guy last night.
"I saw a ton of computer hardware and I thought you'd be more comfortable working at home. And when working in Vincent's company it's easier to do that." Cloud states simply as he moves quickly to the door and opens it.
"I don't mean to sound rude but why are you helping me? All the clothes, the job line up. What gives?!" Jaycyn asks rather rudely.
"Don't worry you won't be my Uke Jaycyn, I think we wouldn't get along if that was the case. And as for everything else, you remind me of someone I used to know. That's all." Cloud responds coldly and walks out the door.
Quickly closing and locking the door, Jaycyn scrambles to catch up to Cloud. "Hold the hell up!" He roars as he looses his balance on the stairs and would have fallen had Cloud not caught him.
"Be careful fool." Cloud says into his hair and blushes.
Okay now I'm seeing things. Jaycyn thinks to himself as Cloud once more gracefully walks down the stairs onto the main road.
"Hey it's not me being clumsy it's these fucking shoes. Give me a pair of geta anytime." Jaycyn laughs out loud and catches up to Cloud, to his disappointment, the blush is already gone and the stoic mask is back in place.
Walking closer to the bar, Jaycyn sees Tifa outside throwing away empty beer boxes into the trash dumpster.
"Hey Cloud, everything go okay last night? Squall came in not five minuets after you two left to see if you were coming home to him." Tifa asks but then quickly quiets as her line of sight falls on a nicely clothed Jaycyn.
"That damned man needs to leave me alone, I'm not his play thing. When did he get to start acting like Sepheroth? Is Barret inside? Oh, he's not, well can you ask him if he can grab what little of my things out of Squall's place and bring them back here? Thanks Tifa, I've got a job lined up with Vincent for Jaycyn and we need to get down there." Cloud quickly asks as he grabs the keys out of his jacket and unlocks the car doors.
All of this shit is going way too quickly, and how am I going to cover up the fact that Vincent knows me all to well? Well I always knew I couldn't get Cloud, not now or ever. Jaycyn looks at the unlocked car door as all the thoughts run through his head.
"Get in." Cloud says through the rolled down window.
Sliding into the comfortable seats of the Golf TDI, Jaycyn buckles himself up and looks over to Cloud.
"What Jaycyn, you keep looking at me like a freak. Yeah I dated Squall a few years ago and we just never properly ended the relationship. Nothing to worry about, I won't rape you if that's what your thinking." Cloud says lifelessly.
"Well everyone has their pasts and whether you choose to run from it or face it is your deal not mine. I have a few…erm…I guess I should tell you I know Vincent. I used to work for a telecommunications company that overlooked data use in the south. Some government project to figure out how much bandwidth would be used in the coming years." Jaycyn lets this out in a rush and gulps in a breath of air and tries to continue but is cut off by Cloud.
"I know, why do you think it was so easy to get Vincent to agree to give you a job?" Cloud smirks then coughs.
" I don't even think Sid knew that much of what I've done." Jaycyn starts but then quiets.
"Now who's running." Cloud says levelly and guns the engine.
AN: the song I used for Jaycyn to sing is from Globus, a really great band in my opinion and the songs name is Take Me Away. Youtube it and see if you like it ;)
Yeah things moved a little slowly in this chapter and I'm not quite happy about it, I'm just shy under the five page mark and feel like the characters aren't moving quickly enough, But *headdesk* I'll be damned if I rush them to much!
R&R if you feel the need :D
