xXx

"Shush!"

Reno removed his index fingers from his lips and motioned to his army to follow him towards the battle area. The three brave warriors peeked and saw their biggest and most feared enemy: a blond with hair that reminds everyone of a Chocobo... cooking.

The redhead looked back and gave Denzel and Marlene a thumb up, motioning them to follow him again. They all walked slowly, preparing to scare the shit out of Cloud until...

"What are you doing?"

The kids yelped and hid behind Reno when Cloud spoke with his deep, stunning voice without looking back. "We? Nothing, what did ya thinking we were doing, yo?" The redhead grinned, placing his hands behind his head and trying to look innocent.

"If you're not up to something, why were you all sneaking towards me?" Cloud asked, turning to look at the defeated army with a victorious glow on his eyes.

"What sneaking?" Denzel exclaimed, shaking his head. "What are you talking about? I wasn't sneaking! Marlene, were you sneaking?" The boy asked, seeing the girl shake her head vigorously. "See? We weren't sneaking."

Cloud smirked, shaking his head. "Right..." He said, continuing his job.

Reno peeked above the smaller blonde's shoulder. "What are ya cooking?" He asked, seeing Cloud mixing what it seemed to be Troll buggies and chocolate.

"Chocolate cookies. I lost a bet with Yuffie."

Reno licked his lips with a childish look on his face. "Cloud..." He purred, wrapping his arms around the blond. "Ya know that ya look sexy, in front of a cooker...?" The redhead purred again, nibbling the other man's ear.

Cloud blushed ten shades of red, looking back and seeing Denzel and Marlene giggle like crazy. "Reno!" He whispered angrily, struggling to break free from the redhead's embrace. "Marlene and Denzel are here, stop it!" The blond nearly hyperventilated in panic.

"Only with a condition, zotto."

"Which one?"

"You let me try that cookie dough."

Cloud was even redder when he managed to break free if only for just a little. "You're just a big kid!" He protested, feeling used because Reno only interest was his cooking.

Reno grabbed Cloud fully again, opening his mouth playfully. "Come on, just a little bit, yo!" He said, still with his mouth open and eyes closed.

"There you go, can you release me now?"! Cloud asked politely after shoving a spoonful of cookie dough on his boyfriend's face, making Denzel and Marlene pass from giggles to laughter.

Reno freed Cloud, wiping his eyes with the back of his hands. "You son of a..." He said slowly in a high pitched voice, seeing Cloud already focused on his work. The redhead picked up two eggs and simply crashed them on top of the blonde's head, grinning with a smug look on his face.

The blond warrior turned back with a murderous glow on his eyes and in three seconds Reno had a handful of flour on his beautiful, amazing, healthy, shinny hair. "Don't laugh!" Cloud said and in another three seconds Marlene and Denzel had eggs plastered on their clothes.

"This only means one thing..." Reno snarled, looking deeply into Cloud's eyes.

The blond nodded, never breaking eye contact. "War." He snarled.

With swift moves, the two commanders picked up their arms and started their attacks. "Fire!" Reno yelled from behind the fallen kitchen's table, seeing proudly his two faithful mini-warriors start throwing eggs towards the enemy area.

Cloud looked briefly above the counter and ducked in time to avoid an egg. With a fake laugh, the man got up and started throwing cookie dough mercilessly towards the enemy's army, seeing them being hit by his powerful weapons. "You'll never beat me!"

"Crap, retreat, retreat!" Reno yelled, seeing his comrades being hit. When the attack ceased, the redhead lifted a spoon, waving with it. "Truce, please? We surrender, yo." He said, grinning at the fallen children who were laughing like mad.

Cloud stood, playing with an egg. "I told you." He said softly, laughing at his lover's state.

"That was fun, let's do it again!" Marlene said still dizzy from the cookie dough hits.

The blond smirked, reaching for his weapon. "I still have a handful of cookie dough..." He said smugly, watching the kids run to safety.

Reno watched as his boyfriend threw the bomb against him and managed to duck, grinning like mad at the blond. "Ya missed." Suddenly, Cloud's eyes went wide and his face turned crimson before he ran to the backdoor with the children, leaving Reno seeing whales. "What the...?"

"I think he actually hit the target."

Reno froze, cursing silently. "Hi Tif--!" he said cheerfully, turning around.

"Clean this! NOW!"

The redhead threw daggers at the grinning blond outside the window, laughing at Tifa and her full-of-cookie dough face. "Cloud is so not getting it tonight either, ZOTTO."
