Kuro: Hmm…
Sephiroth: What? What are you up to today?
Kuro: Nothing, really. Just hating my school's blocks on certain fan fictions and wondering why no one wants a story where the first chapter is a lemon between you two.
Vincent: …No comment.
Kuro: Oh, and I miss my bebo life. Actually, I miss the internet in and of itself.
Sephiroth: (He laughs) Well, that's your own problem.
Kuro: That will be cleared up once I'm at college. There, I'll have free wireless internet.
Vincent: Oh hell…
…
[One Week Later…
Sephiroth and I are official now.
He asked if I would like to be his boyfriend after last night's date, where we went on a double-dinner date with Cloud and Aerith.
And he stayed over again last night. I'm starting to wonder if Nanaki expects his roommate to ever return to their dorm. Of course, he could be taking advantage of Sephiroth's absence to have someone stay with him.
…Which leads to disturbing thoughts, so I'm jumping from that train of thought.
"Sephiroth…?" I paused by the door to the living room as I heard Cloud call to my…boyfriend. Wow, that still makes me blush.
"Yeah, what is it?" He sounded happily bored, as though there was nothing wrong with him being bored.
"Well, you know how tomorrow is Vincent's birthday, right?" Cloud paused for a moment. He probably waited for Sephiroth to nod before continuing. "Do you think he'd mind if I proposed to Aerith tomorrow too?"
Would I mind if he proposed to Aerith? On my birthday? Hell no! That'd be an excellent gift from Cloud. Aerith would be giddy with happiness which would make me happy. So of course I won't mind. But Sephiroth, on the other hand…
"Nah, he won't mind." Sephiroth answered in the same pleasant tone he was using earlier. "So, you're serious about this relationship?"
"Of course I am. Aerith is the best thing to ever happen to me." I started to walk away after Cloud's comment. I felt like I was listening in on something I really shouldn't. Though, I'd never really know how big brother's treat the suitors of their siblings, since I don't have one, but that's ok. I have a father who might manage it. If he remembers.
Speaking of Father, I really should call home. I haven't in a couple weeks, and I need to make sure that he remembers that all the guys going on the trip to the Forgotten City were going to be staying at our house. The girls were going to stay at Aerith's house.
So, as I stepped into my room and tossed the basket of clothes I'd been carrying onto my bed, I picked up the phone and held it up to my ear. Though, I didn't hear the dial-tone. Instead, there was Aerith's voice.
"-and they're getting along so nicely, Mother. I really think that Vincent has finally found someone to make him happy."
I cleared my throat, not exactly know what to say to get their attention.
"Vincent, is that you, darling?" Ilfana asked and I could hear the smile in her voice.
"Yes, Mother." I'd been using 'Mother' to address her since I was about 7 years old. It was an affectionate term and she preferred that I call her that than 'ma'am'.
"How have you been? It's so rare to see your father these days so I haven't been able to ask him." I could hear Aerith giggle on her end of the phone as I began to be questioned.
"I've been well, Mother. However, I'm sure you knew that, since your daughter is very skilled at giving full reports on my livelihood." I said with a laugh. "Anyway, I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation. Please continue; I'll use my cell phone."
"Who're you calling? Sephiroth is downstairs, you know." Aerith asked before I could hang the phone up.
"I'm calling my father, thank you very much. I have to make sure he remembered that we're all coming there in two days." I responded with a slight pout. She always picks on me when her mother is around or listening. "And sheesh, I know that Seph is downstairs…in the living room. With your boyfriend." Aerith laughed slightly.
"I hope they play nicely. I'll have to punish them both if they break anything." She said through another laugh.
"All right, then. It was nice talking to you again, Mother." I said before hanging up and grabbing my cell phone. Maybe I should've taken Father up on that multiple phone lines idea. I mean, so long as I can get online without having to worry about whether someone will want to make a call, I'm quite happy. Then Aerith spends a large amount of time on the phone with Ilfana.
Oh well. It doesn't really matter. All that matters is that I get a hold of my father. So as I hold down the 'one' on my cell phone, I lay back on my bed, knocking some of my clothes on the floor. Aerith'll kill me if I don't pick those up before she sees them, but I'm not really that worried.
"Valentine household, head butler speaking." I know that voice, and he was not head butler last time I called.
"Since when have you been head butler, Cain?" I asked with a laugh. He was one of the few friends I had in Bone Village.
"Ah, Vincent! It's great to hear from you!" He laughed. "Well, Reku retired last week. He asked me to pass on a message to his 'Little Master,' though. 'I hope you have a great time in college.' That's what he said to tell you."
"Man, I wish someone had called me. I would've made the trip back up there to be at his retirement party." I commented, sighing. I'd miss Reku. He'd always bring me a cup of hot cocoa before bed every night. Though, he was getting old, I suppose.
"I was going to, but he didn't want to disturb your studies. You'll just have to pay him a visit while you're on that trip up to the Forgotten City." Cain responded. "So, what'cha calling for?"
"I was calling to talk to Father and make sure that he warned you all that all the guys of the group were going to be staying there. I see that he did." I answered. "So, is Father home?"
"Nope. He's excavating at the Forgotten City. But yes, he did mention in passing that we'd have a lot of guests staying with us. We've freshened up all the spare rooms, as well as yours, and made sure they're fit for habitation." His voice took on a serious, businesslike tone. "Is there anything specific you would like to have us take care of?"
I thought about it for a second. "Yes, there is, actually. I'd appreciate it if you could have four rooms around mine made specifically for some friends of mine. Will that be plausible?"
"Of course, sir. What are the names of these friends?"
"Cloud and Zack Strife, Nanaki, and Sephiroth Crescent. I'd like it if Sephiroth's was directly next to mine. You know, the room with the connecting door?"
"Cloud and Zack Strife…Nanaki, and Sephiroth Cres-Crescent?!" Cain's shock surprised me.
"Yes?" I answered slowly, wondering what the problem is.
"Is he perhaps the son of Lady Lucrecia Crescent?" Cain asked.
"I have no idea. I could go downstairs and ask him, if you'd like." I replied, and he suddenly coughed.
"No, no. That is not necessary. I was just surprised, since your father is working with Lady Lucrecia on this excavation and it would be an honor to have her son stay with us." Cain commented in his serious tone before clearing his throat and returning to his informal, normal tone that he uses with me. "So, why have him in the connecting room to yours? You two a little…close?" He snickered.
"Hahah, Cain. Real funny. And here I was, thinking I'd tell my father that he'd made a good decision my making you head butler." I said, my voice light and playful. "It's none of your business, I'll have you know."
"All right, all right. So, anything else you need us to take care of?" He asked.
"Other than have a lot of food on hand? No." I replied.
"Hey, Vincent?" Sephiroth called to me from beyond my door.
"Oh, hey, I've got to go, ok, Cain?" I waited for his confirmation before snapping the phone shut and jumping up to answer the door. "Yes?"
"Cain?" He raised an eyebrow.
"The head butler of my family's house. And an old friend of mine. I just called home to make sure my father warned them of our coming." I shrugged while answering his questioning look. "Did you need something?"
"Not really. Just wanted to know where you were." Sephiroth grinned and leaned forward, placing a kiss on my forehead.
I pulled him into a real kiss while tugging him into my room. "I'm not a child, you know."
He grinned as one of his hands ran through my hair. "I know. I'm no pedophile. So, did your father surprise you and remember to warn your staff?"
"Yes, actually, he did. Oh, I have a question for you from Cain. He was wondering if you were Lucrecia Crescent's son." I fiddled with a strand of his silky hair as he laughed.
"Yeah. How does your head butler know my mother?" He questioned as he maneuvered me to the bed and sat me down on it. There goes the rest of my clothes.
"Apparently, she and my father are working together on the excavation of the Forgotten City." I responded quietly as his lips pressed against mine. "Small world, huh?" My breath hitched in my throat as Sephiroth's lips began massaging at my neck. One of his hands slipped down and under my shirt, reaching up to massage my back.
I buried both of my hands in his hair as he continued his ministrations. He moved forward to straddle my lap, even as he pulled his lips away from my skin enough to reply, "Extremely…". I shivered at the tickling sensation of his breath upon my neck and allowed my eyes to slip closed, enjoying the increase in feeling.
"Yo! Sephiroth, Vincent! What're you guys up to?" Zack's voice accompanied his pounding as he ruined the moment completely. Dammit.
[The next day…a.k.a. Vincent's B-Day
"Come on, come on!" Aerith tugged on my hand, pulling me into the bar after her. I wore the same outfit that I wore when I first met Sephiroth and she wore a pink skirt with a pink spaghetti-strap tank top and pink boots that reached her calves. All of this pink was the same color of her favorite dress, so it didn't look bad at all. She also wore silver bangles around her wrists that matched the silver choker she wore on her neck. I bought her those jewelry, but I never thought she'd actually wear them…
"Ah, the Birthday Boy finally showed up." Professor Balthier commented, raising a glass in my direction. "Took you long enough."
"You have no idea how difficult Vincent can be when he's being stubborn, Professor!" Aerith stomped her foot, pouting playfully. "Besides, it's been his habit to hang out in the house on his birthday."
"He was going to stay home alone on his 21st birthday? That's horrible!" Professor Laguna exclaimed.
"I agree." Professor Balthier said. "Bartender, a beer for the birthday boy on me. By the way, we aren't at school, so call me by my name."
"Same with the rest of us." Professor Basch said as he took another sip of his beer.
"Basch, don't be a pansy and down that beer. I want you good and drunk tonight." Balthier scowled at his lover even as he shoved a beer in my hand.
"A new one? Give him something harder than that, would ya? He'll never get drunk on a beer." Reno's voice commented from behind Balthier as he motioned to the bartender.
"Ah, Aerith? Are you sure this a good idea? I mean, we're leaving on that trip tomorrow and…"
"It'll be fine." Sephiroth's voice put an end to my minute argument. "You can just curl up on my lap with a pillow, blanket, and painkillers." The rest of the party laughed and started into a half-drunken chorus of 'Happy Birthday' as Sephiroth pulled me into a kiss. The bartender walked out from behind the counter and put a shot glass in my other hand, the one without the bottle of beer.
"Chug it!" Reno crowed as he flipped his head back, draining a glass.
I stared at the shot glass with slight trepidation before shrugging and pouring it into my mouth. My gods, I never knew that liquor could burn like that! As I choked on the drink they forced onto me, Sephiroth patted my back and glared at Reno.
"Come on, you should've known that not everyone can survive a shot of tequila for their first drink like you can." He reprimanded the red-head, who shrugged slightly.
"Had to try it out. Besides, he'll be nice and drunk for you tonight."
"Oh, is that how it's done? Basch, you're drinking tequila tonight!" Balthier tipped his head in thanks to Reno and snatched the beer from Basch's hand, motioning for the bartender to give Basch a few shots of tequila.
One of the waitresses walked up to Kiros and offered him a drink, to which he shook his head. "Someone has to drive tonight and make sure they all get home safely." He said softly as he smiled at Laguna, who was laughing and drinking a beer.
Aerith and Sephiroth ushered me to a table where Cloud, Zack, and Nanaki were sitting. Sephiroth sat beside me and popped the top off my beer. "Enjoy." He grinned and pressed the bottle to my lips.
About an hour later, after I'd been pumped full of as many drinks as any man should be able to handle (Yet, I still wasn't drunk, so I think that Chaos has a high tolerance for alcohol.), Cloud stood up, pulling Aerith up with him.
"I have something to ask you." He said, managing to be heard over the drunken din of the bar. Aerith's cheeks, flushed already with her intake of beer, flushed a little deeper. "Aerith Gainsborough, will you marry me?" The bar fell silent, everyone turning to stare at the two of them, save Reno, who had passed out drunk and was laying on Rude's shoulder.
Aerith's mouth dropped open and no sound emerged, but her eyes had lit up and the green shine was completely full of excitement. She flung her arms around his neck and placed a kiss on his lips, pressing their two bodies as close together as she possibly could.
"Well, that's a 'yes' if I've ever seen one." Sephiroth commented, sending the entire party into a cheer for them.
"No!" Tifa's scream of anger tore through the jubilation like a clawed creature tearing through a person's skin. She stormed up to our table, her face shining red with anger. "You can't marry her! You're supposed to marry me!"
Aerith turned slightly, staring at Tifa with shock. The rest of the party followed suit until Reno and Rude (the former being awoken by her shriek) came up and grabbed her arms, dragging her away from the table. She screamed shrilly the entire way until she was outside the door, which closed her out of the bar.
"Damn, I hope that restraining order gets through the courts soon." I commented lightly, hoping to return the party to its original splendor. It worked, because everyone laughed and went back to drinking.
A few hours later, the bar was closing, and those who were still conscious and the least drunk were making their way to the door, some carrying others. Kiros carried Laguna over his shoulder, as Balthier and Basch carried each other with an arm slung over the other's shoulder. Cloud had Aerith in his arms bridal style, as did Rude with Reno. Zack and Nanaki had somehow managed to stay conscious completely and were making their way through the door to walk back to campus, which was only a few blocks away.
Sephiroth and I were both only slightly inebriated, and we walked ourselves home, Cloud in front of us with his fiancé. He went straight to her room then his own after placing a soft kiss on her forehead. Sephiroth, on the other hand, followed me straight to my room.
"How are you not drunk? You drank more than Reno did!" He exclaimed in a whisper so as to not disturb the others in the house, though they were several floors below us.
"I don't know. I guess I just have a high tolerance." I responded with a teasing smile. "So you're staying the night again?"
"Is that a problem?" He stepped further into the room, closing my door behind him and turning the lock with a soft 'click.'
"I don't think so…" I sat onto my bed, pulling my boots off while keeping my eyes on his.
"Good…" His voice was the ghost of a whisper now as he dropped his coat on the floor and made his way over to me. He kicked his boots off and straddled my lap as he had yesterday. Only this time, there was neither Zack nor Aerith to disturb us.
One of his hands slipped under my shirt, lifting it up to free my body from it. He sucked in his breath as he noticed a scar on the right side of my chest before he leaned down to lap at his gently. I shivered, a slight moan escaping from my lips, and I felt him grin against my skin. He kept showing my scar attention as he lowered me down and his other hand slid down to unfasten my pants.
He stopped there, however, looking up at me through half-lidded eyes. "Are you sure you're ok with this, Vincent? I won't do anything you don't want me to."
"I want you to continue, Sephiroth, I do…" I groaned out because my body craved the continuation of his ministrations.
I reached up to tug at his white shirt as a sign that I was not kidding. I wanted more of him.
He nodded slowly and pulled his shirt off, leaning up to kiss me. I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck and burying my hands in his hair. His mouth tasted so good, though there was a hint of alcohol lingering as well. The hand that had undone my pants had now slipped inside and was quickly nearing my blossoming erection. When the hand finally reached it, I moaned and Sephiroth took the initiative to slide his tongue into my mouth.
As our tongue's waged war for dominance, one of my hands slid from its nest in Sephiroth's hair to trace a pattern down his chiseled chest and start unbuttoning his pants. He chuckled as well as he could with his tongue tangoing with mine at my impatience. He waited until I managed to undo the pants before sitting up, pulling away from our kiss, and slipping out of his pants. How the hell did he manage that when he was wearing leather pants? But ooh, he's not wearing underwear. Well, I'm not either, since it's extremely difficult to wear underwear in leather pants.
He leaned down to tug at my pants, quickly managing to free me from the confines of the black leather. He's skilled, I tell you. Once I was free, I slid up on the bed until I reached the headboard, and he climbed up after me, a predatory grin on his face. He initiated another kiss, pressing me back onto my back.
He broke apart this kiss for a small moment in order to slip some of his fingers into his mouth. Once he had sucked on them for a moment, we were again kissing as one of his fingers toyed with my entrance for a bit before slowly slipping inside. I gasped and moaned, though it was muffled by Sephiroth's mouth which was atop mine. He pulled away and looked at me, worry shining in his green orbs.
"I'm not hurting you, am I?" His question was breathless, him having just finished a deep and passionate kiss with me. I shook my head violently and pulled him back into a kiss.
My answer must've satisfied him, because his finger continued to press inside for awhile, though I loosened quickly because I was extremely aroused. After fucking me with one finger for awhile, Sephiroth slipped a second inside, before continuing the rhythm he'd established with his first finger. Once he deemed me prepared enough, he pulled his fingers from within me, also pulling a disappointed groan for my lips.
He chuckled, reaching down to swipe at my arousal with his hand, scooping up some precum to slicken his own length with. He glanced at me for approval before pressing inside of me.
The heat was nearly unbearable, and it hardened my erection even further. We established a rhythm quickly, knowing our orgasms were coming soon. It continued to build and build until finally exploding from me, a scream of Sephiroth's name tearing from my lips. At the same moment, Sephiroth shouted my name, his seed exploding within me before we both collapsed onto the bed, the world becoming black.
A/N: Whoo! For those of you who read 'Tears That Burn' and were disappointed for the lack of a lemon, there ya go! I hope you all enjoyed that, because I definitely enjoyed writing it, though my fingers are freezing in place as I finish this up. So, R&R, ok?

I awoke to being cradled on someone's lap, a rocking motion moving my entire body.
Whelp, see ya next time!
