Warnings: Naughty Cloud has naughty dreams that lead to bed wetting that isn't of the usual kind, hi-jinks of sorts by Cloud in the shower, you'll have to read or use your imagination of what happens; attack on Raechel, and much face sucking off on either side between Zack and Cloud to piss off a bitchy Tifa, then Reno face sucking on Cloud's part to further piss off Tifa and prove a point.

AN: Yeah…^^; All that you read above as warnings…This chapter gets hectic and crazy, and this is yet again, used off the Outline system I made for this chapter up through the end of Chapter 17. Trying to crank out the ones that are outlined thus far for you guys, but it takes a while and interruptions here and there from internal and external sources kind of slows it down ^^; Enjoy folks!

Chapter 15

'We need to talk. Soon. –Raechel.'

That singular line had been on Sephiroth's mind all night even as he tried to sleep with a talking a mile a minute alter ego trying to talk to him about the details of the night before. And at best try and describe how he wished that they could spend more time with Cloud. If it hadn't been for Sephiroth, in his own way, telling the ego to shut up in his own way that would result in finding some way to keep him from talking to Cloud's alter ego. The evening had been enjoyable, a little more unexpected then he would have expected from just a simple outing with someone who had been on his thoughts since the afternoon. How had it gone from a simple bumping into one another at the same exact Café to falling madly in love with one another? Memories were running a thousand miles per hour through his subconscious mind as he slept peacefully; a smile was plastered almost permanently on his face. He hadn't smiled this much since the first time he had realized he wanted to be a Novelist and it was going to come true and it only stayed during the first couple or so years of his careers and then; it had become a chore. The one bad thing about an alter ego dancing about in your head, they start imagining themselves dancing with a persona of the one your thoughts are wandering to. That's how it was for Sephiroth's all night long, but it was being kept quiet up until the sound of a phone ringing at his bedside table woke him up. A rude 6 a.m. alarm clock call it was, but instead of being happy to have his phone going off at that hour; he was ready to give whomever was on the other end a piece of his mind.

"Do you have any idea what time it is? Its 6 fucking A.M. If you wish to remain breathing with your head attached to your shoulders, you'll hang up right now and call me back a reasonable hour, like, 6 fucking P.M." Sephiroth was all prepared to hang up right then and there, but a voice snapped out over the phone that was too cheerful for his ears, or even his waking thoughts.

The voice that came over the phone was less then pleasant to have their head snapped off, but what did it matter, she made her life's work using the mouth of hers to snap people's heads off, "Sephiroth Maximus! Is that anyway you greet your dearest friend and Publicist among the other titles I have claimed on myself for the books that have made you the money to supply you with the house you're living in?!"

Crap. It's Raechel.

Sephiroth went pale for a second as his eyes rolled back in utter annoyance, "Good morning to you too, Raechel."

"That's better…"if the woman wasn't a wolf in sheep's clothing with her soul sold to the devil or a woman with multiple personalities, thrown in with a small case of Bi-Polar disorder, then she was sure showing it now, "I tried calling you most of last night because I wanted to talk to you about that little abrupt remark you made during my call with the Designers last night. But, you seemed to be unreachable…where were you last night?"

Sephiroth couldn't see it, but the woman was putting on the pouty face and the look of a scorned woman who had tried desperately to get in touch with the man she was responsible for, as it was, "I went out for the evening and had my phone on silent…is that a crime now?"

"No…"here it comes, the sweet disposition of hurt little girl, "I was just worried something happened to you…"

"Is she serious? I could sense her stalking you and the pretty little man we were with last night for miles away…she wasn't the least bit worried about you; she's more worried about the image you're going to perceive for her by you being seen on a "date" with a man," the alter ego just had to make his own opinion voiced as Sephiroth waved his hand off at the man, "Seriously…that woman needs a man, or at best, a girlfriend…"

The idea of Raechel being a lesbian nearly made Sephiroth laugh out loud with a mix of a snort, but that would have to wait till after the phone call was over, "I was fine, Raechel; I was out with a friend that came into town last night after we parted ways at the Café yesterday…I haven't seen him in a while and I was showing him around town."

Please let her buy it.

"Sephiroth, sweetie…"please God, just make her stop now while she's ahead, "You should've said something…I would've understood."

Someone up there does love me!

Sephiroth had been sweating bullets as he quietly sighed, "But I would still like to talk to you…if you're not too busy later this afternoon."

Damn it, karma…you just like giving me false hope then kicking it out from under my feet, don't you?

"Not really…I was going to try and get some work done on a side project I'm working on, but I guess I can meet up later this afternoon…Café at noon?"

Raechel's lips pulled back into a dark Cheshire cat's smirk as the words became laced with the man's future downfall, "Yes, it sounds like a date…I'll see you there at noon."

"Alright…goodbye Raechel."

"Goodbye Sephiroth," Raechel coolly remarked as she hung up the phone, "…Excellent."

Sephiroth felt that something was up about the way the call had gone as he put the phone back on the side table and set about getting ready for the morning; there was no reason to stay asleep now after the rude awakening. It wasn't settling well in Sephiroth's stomach as to what Raechel may have been plotting; he had not even bothered to erase her text from the night before. There had never been a reason for her to text him before, so, why now? Whenever something is going to turn out bad or is appearing to turn into a case of bad for one reason or another, there are always classic signs that one should be aware of. Raechel had presented a number of them, but the red flags, blaring alarms and sirens hadn't gone up, but in the man's alter ego's world, they were blaring like a runaway train crashing through and down the train tracks while the conductor was screaming. Kind of odd in the moments that had transpired but Sephiroth had chalked it up to Raechel being Raechel.

"Sephiroth…sweetie…you okay?" there hadn't been anything spoke following the phone call, all Sephiroth had done was undress, shower, redress, grab a cup of coffee and plop down in front of his computer monitor to work, "Darling, you're scaring me…talk to me."

Keystrokes momentarily ceased as his eyes turned awkwardly towards his left temple, "What? I'm trying to work…"

"Well…you've been awfully quiet since Raechel's phone call; everything okay with you big guy?"

"Yeah…everything is fine…why?" his fingers stayed off the keys as he waited for the man to respond, "Do you think she's up to something?"

The figure simply shrugged as he plopped down into his own little chair to watch a little bit of television, "Sweetie, I've only been in your life less then twenty-four hours and I already can say this…Raechel right now…can't be trusted like placing a cat in a pen of baby chicks and assuming it won't at least eat a few small handful of them. She is up to something, but what…no clue."

"…Do you think she saw Cloud and I last night?" worries were now starting to peek their way up to the surface, "Oh Gaia, don't tell me that's why she sent the text! Man…just when I was starting to be happy!"

"Sephy, darling, just calm down…it's probably nothing…just go to the Café today and act like you don't have already set assumptions about what she's thinking. If you go in there with made up assumptions; she's going to know something is up. Let her have her thoughts, just be you."

"…Heh…I only hope Cloud is faring better then I am…"

Cloud, in a matter of speaking, was faring well, but in the sense that he was doing well may have been an understatement. Even after he had flopped onto his bedroom bed to fall asleep after his late night with Sephiroth knowing that come the morning he was going to have an early morning class. He had been invaded by a Puppy, not the fluffy, furry persuasion, but the whining, pouting, talkative type of Puppy that was his roommate and best friend, Zack Fair. Zack had not given up on getting into Cloud's room to find out details about the "outing" with Sephiroth, no detail was to be left untold even with Cloud protesting and whining that he needed to get to sleep. Besides the fact, Zack had made it the rule that no one kissed and told after their first time with anyone. Well, that rule went out the window the first time Zack had managed to round first, second, and third and slide directly into Home, more or less, Angeal had slid into Home. For the rest of the baseball season; he couldn't bring himself to watch the games no thanks to Zack's lovely and descriptive telling of his first time getting laid. Zack had been waiting most of the night to hear how Cloud's outing with Sephiroth had gone being that he couldn't sleep, snuggled up against Angeal tonight. He was bored, heartbroken, for the time being, and horny for details.

After much debating, arguing, Cloud threatening to throw Zack out on the walkway of the upstairs floor they were on and leave him out there like the Saber tooth Tiger did to Fred Flinstone each time at the end of The Flintstone's. Cloud had caved into Zack, telling how he had made an utter fool of himself at the Café, which Zack had seen, or so he claimed he had seen. Which lead to Cloud telling of hiding out in the bathroom, Sephiroth finding him and kissing Cloud in the bathroom stall, their travels to a Jazz Club Coffee House, enjoying one another's company which lead to Cloud kissing the man back with nearly mind blowing results. Zack had all but woken up their floor until Cloud beat him into submission with his pillow which led to Cloud kicking the man out of his room, yet again. Goodnights all around and the house falling into a state of silence; at least that was the thought or intentions at the time that it had been thought up, but it didn't last long.

Cloud groaned as he rolled over on to his side; there was something odd about his bed, he had gotten to bed with a glass of water, so why did it feel like he had wet the bed? More groans came from him as he felt like someone had tied a brick in between his thighs, then it came to light, "…Well, if this isn't embarrassing…" he groaned out as he walked stiffly to the bathroom in their small little apartment.

Zack grumpily groaned as he rolled about on the sofa till it turned into a yipping squeak as he tumbled to the floor in a heap of blankets, "…Have a good sleep on the sofa, Zackary?" Angeal seemed to be hiding the stifled chuckles from behind his lips as he watched Zack struggling with the blankets.

"Shut up…it was your idea to stick me out on the sofa…just because one of little thing from the past…"Zack turned his eyes towards the coffee table as to hide them from Angeal; it was embarrassing enough that he was tied up in blankets, but there was no bounce to hair this morning, "Just help me out of this…please?"

The soulful look of the puppy like gaze that gleamed from Zack's eyes could melt Angeal's heart anytime, "Alright, but only because you look so pitiful like that, Pup…" Angeal started to chuckle slightly harder as he started to work the puzzle of blankets and Puppy like Zack apart.

Zack wasn't making it an easy task as each piece of blanket was pulled apart and away, the man would reward Angeal with a soft peck on either the cheek, jaw, and just slightly above his lips until, "…Thanks Angeal…" the lips met Angeal's head on.

"…Anytime, Pup…"Angeal softly melted into the lips as he wrapped his arms around the man's waist halfheartedly, pulling Zack closer and into his lap as best he could from the position they were in.

"…This how all our mornings should be…" Zack chuckled as he parted away for a moment, leaving to rest his head in against the crook of Angeal's neck.

There moment was almost picturesque aside from the now and again moaning gasps and groans slowly being guided by intermingled moans that were starting to take on a name, "Filled with someone scream out someone's name in anguished pleasure?" Angeal turned his eyes to the bathroom as Zack prepared to kiss him again.

"What?" Zack stood up as he headed to the bathroom, "…Cloud? You okay in there, buddy?"

How embarrassing was this? First, he wakes up to find he had wet the bed in a way that wasn't the manner in which kids wet the bed and it had stuck around into the morning, now, his best friend was at the bathroom door. Couldn't a guy relieve himself of a problem that came about due to dirty memories of the night before that had been so innocent and sweet? Zack's fist pounded a little harder on the door when Cloud didn't answer; if the guy walked in on him now it was going to be utterly embarrassed for him and possibly horrifying for Zack to find his friend had been jerking off in the shower because he had been a pervert in regards to his thoughts on Sephiroth. Angeal had started to move towards the bathroom now as waited for Zack to get an answer, but when no answer came, Zack was trying the bathroom door handle.

"I-I'll…angh…I'll be out in a minute!" Cloud yelled out over the slick water running over his hand and what his hand was on as he felt his stomach growing into an unfamiliar knot, "I'm almost…Oh Gaia! Ah! Ah! Ah! S-SEPHIROTH!! AAAH!"

Zack heard Cloud scream as his face went red, "Um…Cloud, you okay in there buddy? You got Sephiroth in there and you didn't tell us?"

"Zackary," Angeal glared at the man as the bathroom door opened to reveal a beet red faced Cloud with a towel wrapped about his waist, "You okay, Cloud?"

"Geez, what the Hell smells like hot sex in there…?" Zack waved a hand at the stench coming from the cold shower that had been doing its final drips while what could've been shampooed washed down the drain, "…Oh…Oh my Gaia, Cloud….did you…did you do…?"

Angeal could see that it was embarrassing enough for Cloud as he guided the young man out of the shower, cuffing Zack upside the head, "Just go get ready for class, Cloud…" he then turned his gaze on Zack, "…Just go get a shower in our bathroom and don't bring it up to him again. It's embarrassing when any guy does it for the first time after they have their first wet dream over a girl, or in this case, a guy."

Cloud was embarrassed beyond all belief, "…Thanks Angeal…I can't believe I let myself get so carried away like that…"

"Don't worry about it, Cloud…first time crushes are always the most hectic, believe me, Zack blab out to me after our first time that we…did it…what he use to do in the times between our next time together," Angeal snickered as he turned his gaze over his shoulder, tongue stuck out between his lips just slightly at a blushing Zack, "And if Zack tells any stories on me, just remind him that the sofa is liable to become his permanent residence if he tries it."

"I'm sure he won't stoop that far," Cloud chuckled as he dashed off to get to ready for class that was starting in an hour and a half.

Sephiroth at the usual spot at the Café as he waited for Raechel, nervously tapping his fingers against the table and it all but took the ego side of him to place a soft touched hand with painted fingernails upon his to stop the nervous habit. This was Raechel they, he, was meeting; there was nothing to be nervous about, at least there hadn't been anything till it had registered that it was Raechel, what good ever came from Raechel? Except for unending torture of the mind that wished to just escape out of the man's skull and hide under the sofa back at Sephiroth's apartment. Just what he needed, a nervous mind and it was being housed by a gay man alter ego that was doing all he could beyond taking on a human form and tying Sephiroth to the Café patio chair. Each time a car passed by or parked in the small parking lot of the Café, Sephiroth was set on edge or even if a Waiter or Waitress walked by his table. He half expected to have to hear the cheerful voice of Raechel grating into his subconscious or burrowing into his rattled nerves.

"There is still an open window for you to just run for it and give Raechel a rain check," the alter ego was enjoying a simple cup of tea as he watched his human host becoming jittery even without caffeine even in his system, "…Or there is the option of living in fear of women in general the rest of your life."

Sephiroth rolled his eyes, "I guess that means I'd have to find a way to avoid you at all costs which means you'd miss out on your little gay man buddy…" a soft chuckle came from Sephiroth as he heard the ego throwing a gay man's temper tantrum that was nothing more then a sputter of angered glances and flailing limbs, "That's what I thought…now, shut up…Raechel is coming."

"Thank you, now, you may leave us…"Raechel shooed away the mousy waitress, the same one who had been the one to serve Sephiroth the day before as well as seat Cloud at the table last night, "What is it now?"

The young woman was taking more time then she should've until she found Sephiroth's gaze shaking with a resounding 'Don't say a word about last night' to the young woman, "N-Nothing, ma'am…"

"That's what I thought, now…Sephiroth, dear," Raechel could change personalities better then a chameleon, "About my little text message I sent you last night."

Heh…here we go…

Is it humanly possible for a human to take on the look of the Cheshire cat's grin? If there is, Raechel's face was broken out into such a smile that would make the cat that ate the canary, spit it up, made amends and went back to being enemies sick to its stomach, "I know full well you didn't mean those things you said last night about you being…a crooked arrow…and ditching me and the rest of the Publishing company for some Gay Erotica Novel works…"

"What is wrong with that? It is something that has recently taken my interest and I plan to pursue it…"Sephiroth started to unconsciously fidget, just the one thing Raechel needed to feed off of, "There is nothing more to talk about it…and before you ask…"

"Do you know what this will do for the image of our company? No one is going to believe you are capable of writing such trash…besides, that's not you…besides; who are you going to get to even cover you for this work?" Raechel sneered at the man as her face sat in the smug look that it was nearly stuck in, "That little man I saw you driving off with last night?"

Gaia…Someone…Someone open up the floor beneath me now and swallow me whole before she says anymore

She waited for him to answer, "Am I right? You're honestly going to leave your new project up to that little man that's probably one of those psychotic fans you've dreaded and besides the fact he's probably…"

There are times when human minds take on a look of tunnel vision and everything around them fades out and the voice that is speaking to them is just a quiet garble of mixed together words. Sephiroth was having one of those moments, every word that Raechel was shoveling out, demeaning Cloud's character was slowly ebbing the man over the edge. Credited, he hardly knew the man, but a side of him that said he could trust Cloud; that he wasn't after his money or the fame of being with the famous author; he just was a sweet man that was just as lost in the new scene of being gay as he was. Together, if they were to manage to be together and survive the ups and downs; he was willing to learn more about the man and maybe…fall in love with him. Raechel was wrong about Cloud and Sephiroth was about ready to tear the woman out of her chair and do something dramatic, but he had to downplay it.

"…Maybe he is after my money and power, but…"Sephiroth pushed himself away from the table, "He cares about me…more then you ever could. Admit Raechel, you've always been in it for the money and the glory…never once have you ever given a damn about me."

Raechel rolled her eyes as she sharply glared at him, "Where the Hell is this backbone coming from? Did it take me badmouthing your possible little boyfriend to make you into a man?"

A flurry of chairs and a table amongst the sounds of dishes scattering to the floor alerted the Café to problems as Sephiroth yanked Raechel out of her chair, "Piss off, Raechel. We're through…" he placed the woman back to the ground, "And for the record. As of now, you're fired…my contract with you is from here on out null and void…If you want to go to media about my out coming. Go ahead, see if I deny it."

"Sephiroth…what…?" Raechel was confused, one minute the man had been sitting back and listening to her talk then the next he's lifting her out of her chair then placing her back on the ground, "…You're serious about this kid…aren't you?"

"Do you want it in writing? I. Am. Gay. Get over it and move on, because I have," Sephiroth walked away from the Café, heading to his car where he spent a few moments gathering up his thoughts, "…Did I just really do that?"

There were moments of silence from the peanut gallery until, "Seph…darling…Pardon my French, but…THANK GAIA YOU DUMPED THAT BITCH!"

Sephiroth could only softly chuckle, "…I feel…lighter for some reason…"

"That is what we call an epiphany, sweetie…Welcome to the World of Gay Men Extraordinary!"

Cloud had been quiet the entire travels to the Campus; it was going to be like the first day all over again since they had spent part of their week moving into the apartment not to mention a few happenings. That had been unexpected, but had dished out some pretty good results, at least Cloud thought so and as they got closer to the Campus, there were leery eyes looking in their direction. There were a few or a hundred ideas running through Cloud's mind as to why the eyes were on them, but Zack seemed oblivious as they walked up the front steps until they could hear the whispers. Some were saying that Cloud and Zack were possibly seeing one another, hence their reasons for having to leave the Dormitory. Others were saying that Cloud must've been a beast in bed which was why they had to leave then there were some that were leering from a corner that was headed by a young woman. Her long and lanky legs as well, well built bust were the calling card to Cloud as he saw the crowd thin out and she walked for.

"…Oh no…does someone up there hate me to send her my way?" Cloud grumbled as Zack turned his attention on the hot thing on two legs headed their way with a bumbling like man with fiery red hair attached to her arm, "Why did Tifa have to attend here as well?"

Zack began to size up the situation as he slipped a hand around Cloud's waist that sent off signals in Cloud's mind, "What…What the hell are you doing?!" the words came out through Cloud's gritted teeth as he felt Zack's hand grope his hip.

"Just play along…and maybe the bitch will move on," Zack whispered into his ear as he playfully chewed at Cloud's earlobe which made Cloud moan faintly which seemed to help Zack know that Cloud was going to play along, even if he didn't want to, "Follow my lead."

Tifa Lockhart, bitch on wheels to boot and could've possibly been Raechel's double with middle of her back length raven colored hair and a bust that didn't stop, or at least stop a majority of the male population. In High School, she had been the Captain of the Cheerleading squad and was popular with many of the boys of the Football team and a few dozen other lonely guys that knew they never stood a chance with her. The same could be said for Cloud; he had tried, and failed with epic proportions which had lead to his fear of intimacy with others. By the time she had reached Senior Year of High School, she was deemed the Queen Slut; reason, she was willing to open those muscular thighs of hers for any guy. And the occasional girl, if she was still swinging that way; Cloud had assumed she was at least bi in High School, but from the career of past lovers he had seen her with. That got straightened out and now she was doing the guy on her arm, or was it the other way? As per usual, she wasn't too shy about being sexual in public as her fingers crawled up and down her man's arm and if she was any closer against his hip; she could've grinded her boyfriend's leg like a stripper pole.

"Cloud Strife…?" she was playing the coy schoolgirl that had not seen the childhood friend in forever, "It has been too long!"

Cloud cringed inwardly as her bosom crushed against his chest and her arms wrapped around him, pushing Zack off momentarily, but Zack gave her one for as moved into between the gap. His arms wrapped their way around Cloud's waist and landed on his backside, his lips placed against Cloud's ear as he started the ploy.

"Follow my lead and when I give the hint…start backing up to the wall behind you and just let your body flow with the moment," Zack gave the ear a playful tug with his teeth before licking at the lobe, "Ready?"

Nervously, Cloud nodded as he watched Zack detach himself to turn about in front of Tifa, "Any friend of Cloud's is a friend of mine, isn't that right, sweetie?"

"Y-Yeah…that's right," Cloud slowly started to calm down as he wrapped his arms around Zack's neck, nuzzling in close against it; I wonder if this is what it would feel like to be this close to Sephiroth…

"You going to introduce me to your…I guess boyfriend, Cloud," Tifa was never one to back down lightly as she wrapped her arms tightly around boyfriend's arm, "Or am I going to have to ask him, myself?"

Zack gave Cloud a silent glance to see how the man was holding up, but from the looks of it, Cloud was starting to get more into this role as he felt Cloud's nose nuzzling in close against his neck, "Hey, hey, come on…introduce me to your friend, Cloud," he softly nudged Cloud, "…Be careful about how strong you come on, Angeal is liable to throw my butt off on the sofa again tonight if he was to find I let you get too cuddly close with me. We're just trying to throw Ms. Bitchy off and get her step off…"

Cloud grumbled to himself as he straightened up, "Tifa, this is Zack, Zack this is Tifa…" he figured he was out of the woods as he nuzzled in against Zack yet again, but it wasn't enough.

"Glad to meet you both, Ms. Strife, or is it his last name?" Tifa snickered to herself as Cloud started to blush harder and harder; this wasn't working, time for Plan B.

Zack could tell things were heading south, "We don't like to go by that…it makes us look like whores, but you would know that wouldn't you, Tifa?"

"You little…"Tifa growled as Zack took the turn to give Cloud to start backing up against the wall.

Cloud didn't need much persuasion as he played off as shy at being affectionate in public, but Zack; he had no problems doing that, especially with Angeal as Zack leaned in and softly peppered Cloud's throat. A soft mewl was heard from Cloud as Zack started peppering the kisses towards Cloud's lips as they met; it was not what Cloud would've taken but if it would get Tifa off of him. Zack had told him to go along with it and play with it however he wanted and Cloud did; he wrapped a leg up around Zack's hip as his fingers; that had been clasped around Zack's neck brushed up in Zack's hair. People were stopping in the hall to watch the make out fest until the clock struck and a bell rang out; Tifa was red faced, flustered an angered as she stormed off, dragging her boyfriend along.

Tifa could only sneer and grumble while her boyfriend stared at the sight, now and again as he made a remark he would later regret, "That was hot."

Zack pulled away from Cloud's shy lips as he softly pecked them, "Damn little man…you're a good actor…"

"Ass," Cloud grumbled as he pushed away from Zack as he raced for his Art class, "I am telling Angeal about this later!"

"Oh come on! You were being a good sport about it…"Zack didn't give it another thought as he glanced at his watch, if he didn't hurry; he was going to be late for class.

Lunchtime came around and as was expected, the talk of Zack and Cloud had changed its tune as some girls giggle as they watched Zack guide Cloud through the lunch line. Cloud would blush any time Zack's hand brushed against his, but not too far away, Tifa was watching the sight and thoughts of how to unravel the possible charade of the duo being an actual pair. Her sights might have been set on destroying them, but her man, Reno, was watching with soulful eyes; he wished that was how he could be with the one he was seeing on the side from Tifa. Tifa began to make her move as she dragged her dreamy eying boyfriend along reluctantly as they walked up to Cloud and Zack's table.

"About earlier, I just want to apologize…"her smile seemed serene and true, "But…"

Uh oh…here it comes…

Tifa pulled Reno's face into her own as she straddled herself in his lap in front of them; Zack watched on with true and honest disgust while Cloud just wished he could fall through a crack in the floor, "…Two can play at that game you two were playing earlier," she pulled away from her man's lips as Reno sat in a daze of 'What just happened?'

"Listen sweetie, do you really think we care that you're a whore?" Zack sneered as he watched Reno laugh at the way Zack talked; Time for a little experiment…

Zack playfully nudged at Cloud as he whispered into the man's ear as he watched Cloud turn three shades of red, "Because seriously…we don't care that you can suck face with the best of them, but, I wasn't sure if you knew that Gay is contagious."

Cloud snickered to himself as he started to slip his foot up alongside Reno's thigh; he saw the man reluctantly pull away, but the look on the man's face was saying other wise as Cloud started slipping up higher. Zack was keeping Tifa entertained and fighting back with his own ammunition on the issue at hand as Cloud's foot slipped a little higher then he had intended as he watched Reno grab at his foot. He had half thought the man was going push it off, but he felt the man grinding the foot in against his nether regions which was sending off signals in Cloud.

Time to pull out of 'Operation: Find Out if Tifa's Man is Gay.'

"What is your problem, Reno!?" Tifa smacked at the man as he let go off Cloud's foot that fell with a thud to the floor; thank Gaia she didn't hear it or see Cloud telling Zack all he needed to hear.

Reno stared at her with a dark blush on his face, but her answer was about to be answered, "This is his problem, Tifa," Cloud lunged forward as he lip locked the red head.

"Any questions now as to why your man as been acting repulsed by you for the last ten minutes?" Zack laughed to himself as he watched it unfolding, but it didn't unfold for long as Tifa found herself flying onto Cloud and the catfight was under way.

Ten minutes, over half the Campus Security called out, a dispersal of students, an Ambulance with trained EMT and Paramedic called to the sight, a blushing Reno being escorted to the side by an all too eager Zack. Statements were being taken and Tifa had put, in as much of a rage she was in, she put it down that; Cloud approached, or as Tifa would later state to Campus Security as she was being pulled away from a bruising Cloud was that the man had encroached on her before turning on her. Then boyfriend, now soon to be ex and without warning, attacked him. Or as Zack would later put it, bluntly, Cloud had been sucking Tifa's boyfriend, Reno's face off.

But the minute he felt Reno's tongue trying to poke into his own and even the fact that the man's hands were nearly groping his ass, Cloud had wheeled backwards into Tifa. That was when it all went down; Tifa and all. Reno was escorted out of the way by an eager Zack as Tifa lunged at the blond gay man and started wailing into Cloud as the rest of the College Cafeteria cheered it on like an old High School fight. Campus Security took both sides of the story while the EMT tried to patch up Cloud and tried to get Cloud to consider being taken, at least to the Emergency Room for further inspection. Cloud had more pride then that as he signed the waiver stating he refused assistance or further treatment as Zack managed to tear himself away from the questioning students to help Cloud off to the apartment.

"THIS ISN'T OVER, CLOUD! YOU HEAR ME! THIS ISN'T OVER!" Tifa could be hollering the words over and over as she was escorted to Security where she would be handed off to the cops, "RENO! YOU BETTER BAIL MY ASS OUT OR SO HELP ME, WE ARE THROUGH!"

Like any man was going to answer that, "Sorry babe, but, we were over a long time ago…I was just hanging around for the sex and the trophy girlfriend, I guess that's over and if you'll excuse me, I've got someone who really needs me; you might remember him Tifa, silent typed, tall guy with the dark sunglasses, Rude."

"YOU LITTLE PRICK! I KNEW YOU WERE ALL WRONG FOR ME!"

"And I guess it just took me till now to realize that…"Reno shrugged as he opened the door for Zack and Cloud, "No hard feelings, right Spiky?"

Cloud shook his head as much as the throbbing headache would allow, "Not a single one…see you around, Reno and don't be a stranger around the table after today and bring your man around when you get a chance…" a half cocked smile spread on Cloud's face, "I would love to meet him."

Reno chuckled to himself as he clasped a hand on Cloud's shoulder lightly, "You've got a deal, man, and bring your guy around once you've settled that heart of yours…"

Your guy.

A term Cloud hadn't thought until now; he had hardly known Sephiroth more then a night and now; he was not only relieving his pleasure thoughts for the man in the shower that would've sickened any other person and now; he was defending his stand on his life. Maybe, maybe it wasn't too bad to be in this league of different choices of lovers. Maybe, it could work out for him.

"Sure thing, Reno…sure thing," Cloud nodded as he held his head in his other hand, "But first, I need something strong for this headache."

Zack chuckled, "Come on you, I'm taking you out tonight once the swelling has gone down to celebrate your coming out."

"But I came out yesterday."

"Yeah, but you got to celebrate without your best buddy and your buddy's boyfriend…we're doing this up proper and we're inviting the man of the hour, Mr. Romance Novelist Himself…Sephiroth."

"Zack…"Cloud groaned as they moved down the hall.
