AN: Here's the second chapter! I should warn you guys that some of these chapters won't be in chronological order. However, this one is. This chapter takes place right after the previous one. Hope you enjoy and thank you for the reviews!

This chapter's prompt was Chocobo from Golden feathers Edward. Keep them coming!

"You did not eat the chocobo meat last night," Rufus' voice startled Cloud out of his thoughts.

The spiky haired blond had been cleaning Fenrir at 7th Heaven's garage and wasn't expecting anyone to interrupt him. He should have known that his new pesky president was going to peep in on him…

"No," Cloud agreed as he went back to tinkering with his motorcycle.

"Why?"

Silence. "Did I have to eat everything on my plate?"

"No but why bother ordering something if you are not going to take part of what it has to offer?" Rufus explained in an impatient tone, black dress tapping on the floor in emphasis.

"To make you pay for an expensive dinner."

Cloud looked slyly from the corner of his eyes, just in time to see Rufus' eyebrow twitch in annoyance. How cute. But he had work to do and the other was distracting him.

Standing up, Cloud approached Rufus with a slight frown on his features and crossed his arms.

"Did you come here just to bother me about not eating something?" He asked.

Rufus shook his head and took a step closer to the seemingly cross blond. Cloud noticed the other's icy blue eyes staring up and down his form and immediately felt defensive. As if he should protect himself from the president.

"No, usually when the man pays for the meal he is expecting something in return later." Rufus replied smoothly, taking slow, deliberate steps towards Cloud.

Cloud on the other hand was too busy trying to figure out what the other meant.

"Are you implying that I'm the girl in this relationship?" He narrowed his mako blue eyes at Rufus.

"I bought dinner and wooed you with gifts, that would make one assume that you are, indeed, the female of this relationship." Rufus retorted.

"Since that would leave me with the male role, you owe me something for treating you to dinner last night."

Cloud just stared hard at the blond man before him, not knowing what to even say to that except for; "What in the hell do I owe you?"

"A kiss, at the very least." Rufus offered graciously.

Cloud suddenly noticed that the space between the two was nearly closed. He looked up at Rufus hesitantly and in discomfort.

"I don't know if—"

Cloud's arm was suddenly pulled and he felt himself wrapped in Rufus' arms, lips captured in a deep kiss. Certainly, he could have pulled away but the passion that Rufus put into the kiss and the force behind it left Cloud breathless.

All he could do was match the kiss with a force of his own, breathlessly sliding his lips against Rufus' and wrapping his arms over the other's shoulders to bring him closer.

Cloud felt Rufus smirk into the kiss and wrap his arm around his waist to press against him more. Cloud allowed him but fought for dominance in the kiss. His tongue clashed with Rufus', each fighting.

Rufus then started to gently guide him backwards and soon Cloud felt a familiar cold metal on his back: Fenrir.

Pressed against his motorcycle, Cloud shuddered and gave in, giving Rufus permission to lead the kiss.

"WHA' THE SHIT ARE YA DOIN' FOO!"

Cloud and Rufus both jumped at the sudden, and loud, interruption, pulling apart and staring at the intruder with a bewildered look.

Well, at least he was. Rufus was glaring back at Barret who was more than happy to return the favor.

"I don't want ma' daughter to see all this! Wha' if she came in here an' saw this crap! I'm not ready to explain tha' yet!"

"Marlene knows she isn't allowed in the garage, Barret." Cloud finally regained his senses and tried to calm down his raging friend.

"Bu' I don't wan' ya doin' that when she could see ya Spiky!"

Cloud flared his nostrils in annoyance. He wasn't going to hide and tip toe around in secret with Rufus. That wasn't fair to either of them.

"If she ever saw us, Barret, Tifa and I can very well explain things to her. We're not just going to make out in the middle of the bar where everyone can see us," Cloud sent a warning look to Rufus when the other looked about to protest his statement.

Thankfully, the other kept quiet and just crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes at the large, burly man.

"We shouldn't have to hide but we're not going to make it our goal to corrupt Marlene or Denzel or show too much." He explained patiently.

Barret rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Aw Spiky, I didn't mean for it to sound like tha'! You can kiss whoeva ya like, but don't ya deserve someone otha' than tha' rotten egg."

Rufus rose an eyebrow but otherwise said nothing.

Cloud sighed and ran a hand through his hair, messing it up even more. "I deserve what I want," He replied in a firm tone.

"Right now, that is Rufus."

Cloud ignored the smug smirk on Rufus' face whilst Barret just shifted uncomfortably and then waved his hand.

"Yeah, yeah. Sorry for interruptin' then…I'll jus' go. Only came to say 'hi'."

"And you have," Rufus' voice finally pierced the awkward air, only to make it tense again.

"You watch your shit, Shinra! You hurt Spiky here an' I'll be on your ass!"

Rufus hummed and waved Barret off. "I assure you, you on my ass is the last thing I want."

Barret scoffed and made to leave, but not before nodding to Cloud. When the door to the garage closed, Cloud breathed a sigh of relief and stiffened when he felt arms wrap around his waist.

"So," Hot breath blew on Cloud's ears causing him to shudder pleasantly.

"You want me?"

Cloud turned his head to look Rufus in the eye. "Don't let it get to your head." He said wryly.

Rufus just chuckled in response, starting to pet Cloud's hair in comforting motions.

"My little Chocobo defended me, how sweet." Rufus was suddenly on the ground holding his stomach in pain.

Cloud, however, was back to working on Fenrir. "Don't call me that. You'll get hurt."

Rufus just nodded as he shakily got off the floor. What he didn't understand was why Barret got away with calling Cloud by a nickname and he couldn't. Little Chocobo was much better than Spiky, in his opinion.
