AN: Hey guys! It's been awhile…hasn't it? Sorry for the delay (3 months D: ) but college was getting to be a handful. Anyway, here's the next chapter and hopefully I will go back to updating every week!
Prompt: Innocent suggested by Fantan
"Oh, Cloud dear! You cannot possibly go out in this storm!" Mrs. Fair exclaimed as she pointed out the window.
Indeed, it was raining rather hard, the rain droplets pounding harshly on the window and pavement.
"We don't want to intrude…" The blond looked back at the motherly woman, unsure.
"Intrude? Cloud you could never!" She cried out.
Rufus duly noted that the woman was completely ignoring him whilst his lover made sleeping arrangements with their most gracious host. Cloud had dragged him out here to Gongaga yet again to this devil's most humble abode but at least Mr. Fair seemed to pity him. How that man married that harpy was behind his comprehension but he had to have a lot of patience.
"Rufus?" He looked down to see his lover giving him a questioning look.
"What is it?"
Cloud gestured his head towards Mrs. Fair. "She's leading us to our room."
"Excellent…" Rufus muttered bitterly, following the two ahead of him.
The house itself wasn't big but it held three decently sized rooms. One, of course, belonging to the Fairs, the second was presumably Zack's, while the last one was a guest room. It was a quaint little place and even he could see how homely it was. It was terribly unfortunate that it was the cave of a horrifying monster.
"Here sweetie, you can take Zack's old room. Mr. ShinRa, you can take the guest room right down here," Elizabeth pointed to a fair away room, triumph clear in her warm honey eyes.
Rufus shot Cloud an annoyed look, showing that he was not amused by this woman's antics. Cloud shrugged uncaringly in response.
It was only for one night.
The president sighed and forced a smile on his lips for the shorter woman.
"Thank you Mrs. Fair. It is very kind of—"
"Good night Cloud!" She interrupted flawlessly, ignoring Rufus' righteous glare.
"Is there anything you need before bed? Some warm milk?" The woman's eyes were sparkling too much for her to be innocent.
"Elizabeth, Cloud's a man. He doesn't need that to go to sleep." James Fair's voice came in from the living room.
Elizabeth looked indignantly towards her husband, who came in, and pointed at him rudely.
"Zack needed a glass of warm milk every night until he left for ShinRa!" A nasty look was sent to Rufus who gladly returned it.
Mr. Fair was too tired to put up with his wife's antics, responding with a firm glance.
"Elizabeth, let's go to bed and leave the boys alone." Sky blue eyes regarded Cloud and Rufus warmly, the man giving them both a nod and small smile.
"Good night you two. If you need anything feel free to help yourselves." With that said, James dragged his wife into their room.
Cloud chuckled and pulled Rufus in for a quick kiss. "It's just one night," He reminded gently.
Rufus sighed, pressing his forehead against Cloud's and gripping the shorter man's hips to bring him closer for a hug.
"Did she really have to get us two rooms?" He asked in an unhappy voice.
"Just let her have that, Rufus. It's one night. You'll live." Cloud kissed Rufus' lips once more before bidding him goodnight and slipping silently into his room.
Rufus headed back to his designated room, pride wounded. He couldn't get over the fact that that demon had the nerve to separate them. As he changed into different pants, taking off his shirt and tossing it aside, the blond came to the conclusion that he would slip into Cloud's room in half an hour. Mrs. Fair was old; she would be asleep by then.
Thirty minutes had passed. Rufus was off to sneak into Cloud's room.
Stepping outside his room as quietly as possible, Rufus looked around to make sure everything was clear. Smirking smugly to himself, the blond tip-toed towards where Cloud was sleeping, and he even had his hand on the door knob before feeling a harsh poke at his side.
Whipping his head violently to the side, he saw the devil glaring up at him. Nightcap and all.
"What are you doing?" She hissed quietly. "Are you trying to take away Cloud's innocent?" She pushed him away from the door while Rufus tried to grasp the concept of Cloud being innocent.
"Innocent?" He hissed back. "He's not innocent! He defeated Sephiroth for Gaia's sake. You can't still be innocent after that."
Elizabeth Fair was not one to be deterred from her own mission; keeping Cloud's virtue safe.
"You're here to take my little Raincloud's virtue, you monster!"
Rufus snorted loudly and glanced down at the woman condescendingly.
"Virtue? Oh, I took that awhile ago." Rufus smirked at the horrified look.
"You corrupted him!" Mrs. Fair exclaimed dramatically.
"Yes, yes I did. I tainted your little Raincloud with my seed."
The woman looked as if she was about to faint, frozen from shock. This only egged Rufus on.
"And right now, I am going to taint him some more and you know what makes it all the more delicious?" Rufus leant down next to the woman's ear and whispered gleefully.
"He'll beg for more."
In a split second, Rufus hurriedly escaped into Cloud's room, locking the door upon hearing the woman on the other side screech and bang on the door before Mr. Fair snapped for her to get back to bed.
"You win for now Mr. ShinRa!" She managed to shout before she went back to bed in a huff.
Rufus snickered at the door and felt very accomplished until he turned around and saw Cloud sitting up in the bed, arms crossed.
"What was that about?" He asked in a no-nonsense tone.
"I am here to corrupt your body." Rufus replied wryly.
Cloud sighed but nevertheless made room for his boyfriend.
Rufus took the invitation and slipped in with a triumphed smile before bringing Cloud to his chest. They both shifted to get more comfortable and soon, he could tell that Cloud had fallen back asleep. Feeling the smaller blond's breath puffing out slowly on his naked chest, Rufus couldn't help but to smile softly and bring his lover closer.
Innocent moments like these made life's hassles very much worth it.
AN: I really like Mrs. Fair. She's really fun to write. I especially love writing scenes between her and Rufus, they just make me giggle. And poor Mr. Fair doesn't get much spotlight...I'll have to change that sometime.
Anyway, I apologize again for the extended wait. Please review and send me your prompts! I need ideas like a fat kid needs candy. ;D
