"Cloud, it's me Leon. Sorry for looking your number up without your permission. But, in any case I want to meet you again - outside of work. So, how about we have lunch together this weekend?"
"He's so damn persistent…!" Cloud grunted endlessly, every five minutes his cell phone rang, phone calls and messages flooded his inbox.
"Looks busy here, Cloud."
A raven haired man with a friendly face broke Cloud's line of curses. The blond jolted and his face dusted red in embarrassment, "Eh! No, just…"
"Secret admirer?" the raven haired man teased before busying himself again with his automotive magazine.
"No way! It's annoying." Cloud pouted, his fingers didn't stop clicking the delete option on each message the brunette sent to him. He had to be careful not to delete any important message he intended to keep. If only his cell phone had a blacklist service on it, it sure would help him a lot. But it was too troublesome to suddenly change his number.
"Aaah…. I want this car!"
"Which one?" Cloud asked as he sat closer to the other. "Ah! Impossible. You're too poor to buy that kind of car, Zack." He said with a soft chuckle, spying a luxurious sleek black sport's car picture in the magazine.
The older man named Zack frowned, strangely it gave an optimistic expression to him. "No no no. It's not impossible. I will have it someday, you'll see."
The blond chuckled, "Yeah yeah. Give me a ride when you do, okay?"
"Okay. But only after Aerith. I'm planning on make her my first passenger in this car." Zack answered in a cheerful voice.
But Cloud heard it differently. Was it because he mentioned Aerith's name, the town belle who was Zack's girlfriend? He had to get sober. He wasn't like that, right? But what was it about this black haired man that was so…
Was he receiving karma for being different to Axel and Riku?
Zack was his only best friend. Ever since he came to Radiant Town to live alone, he had been his very first friend. Zack had helped him managed his belongings when he'd moved to Midgar apartments a couple of years ago. He, who had a problem with anybody new who tried to approach him. But because of Zack, he was now proud to say that he was living independently and could get a job and be fine with it even though he had to meet new people every day.
Cloud almost forgot how it felt when one day Zack had asked to have dinner together to introduce his new girlfriend to him. Was what he felt disappointment because his best friend was not dedicated his time only to him? Or was it because he had other feelings for him? He'd rather not answer that. He was not inclined that way, right?
He flipped his cell close and put it back in his pants pocket, exhaling deeply. He stood up from the apartment building's front steps, "Well, just tell me when that time comes." He said as he controlled the emotion in his voice and smiled artificially.
"Where are you going? Work?"
"Yeah. Just half time though. Today is Friday."
"Ah!" Zack exclaimed in realization, "It's Friday. I'll invite Aerith for dinner tomorrow night."
The raven haired man busied himself texting his beloved girlfriend with a wide grin gracing on his face. Cloud mounted his only treasure - a motorbike that he had named Fenrir, and drove to work.
Cloud groaned in desperation as he felt his cell phone vibrating non-stop in his pocket. He didn't feel like opening it any time soon though. Then out of nowhere, a shadow of a certain man suddenly flashed in his mind. He got goose bumps on the nape of his neck and he decided to gas his motorbike into high speed.
