Call me

When Reno woke up, he didn't open his eyes right away. He didn't want to know if Cloud had, once again, left him alone. Not that the redhead wasn't used to waking up in an empty bed… It was part of it, he had always thought, and anyway he had never needed someone. But now that he'd had a taste of Cloud… he wanted him to be there, each morning. After a moment, he couldn't bear it anymore and had to look.

So he turned, and smiled, because the blonde was there, sleeping soundly on his back, hands on each side of his head which was turned towards Reno. He was so cute, the Turk thought. He couldn't resist and brought his hand forwards until the tip of his fingers touched the ex-soldier's cheeks. The reaction was immediate: Cloud grabbed his wrist and rolled on top of him, pinning his wrist to the mattress and choking him with a forearm, looking at him with a murderous look. And then he realized what he was doing and all of a sudden seemed scared.

- "Reno! I'm sorry! Oh damn… I'm so sorry!" he said, releasing him and sitting on the bed, beside him.

He brought his knees to his chest and hid his face in his hands, heart beating wildly. That was the next thing he'd have to work on: stress. Reno sat up and wrapped his arms around Cloud's shoulders, then placed a soft kiss on his cheek and started stroking his blonde hair.

- "Yo, it's ok" he said with a smile. "I should've anticipated that…"

Cloud snorted and Reno took his hands to make him show his face, which was full of shame.

- "I don't expect you to change poof! like that, ya know?" the redhead said.

And when Cloud looked at him, not believing him a second, his smile turned to half-smirk, a very playful and mischievous look on his face.

- "In fact, I don't want you to change," he began saying in a low voice, "cause…"

Then he bent down to whisper in the ex-soldier's ear.

- "… that was so seme and sexy… that it made me hard."

And Cloud didn't get to say a single word before he found Reno glued to his lips, one hand in his hair and the other on his chest. As he wrapped his arms around the Turk's waist, he let himself be slowly pushed down until he was lying on the mattress, feeling more aroused by the second. And feeling Reno was really getting hard. He brought one of his hands up into the Turk's hair, pulling him even deeper into their kiss… And then Reno's cell phone vibrated in his pants' pocket, on the floor.

- "Aaaah damn job…" Reno sighed, rolling off Cloud to get up and pick up his cell phone.

Cloud faintly smiled, although he was really frustrated this happened. Ah well, he'd have to get used to this for sure. They both had jobs after all.

- "Yo" Reno answered after flipping open his cell phone. "Oh heeeey, Rufus! … Uh, what, you're not asking me if I'm busy- ok ok! Damn… Yeah sure. No prob, I'll tell Rude. Um, well in fact we didn't find the guy yet… Yeah, yeah, ok."

He threw his phone on his pants and went back to Cloud to bend down and kiss him.

- "Rufus just added some things to our mission… and seeing we didn't even get it started yesterday, well… Anyway, we both need a shower, I think."

- "Just a little…" Cloud said, letting out a little laugh.

Reno smiled at him and took his hand, dragging him to the bathroom. The shower usually was used only six minutes a day by Cloud. Three minutes in the morning, three minutes before going to bed. But, while Cloud and Reno washed each other and then with Reno holding on tight to him, the ex-soldier didn't even notice they spent nearly twenty minutes in there. Well, that's until Reno swore at his watch and told him. So they got out of the shower, dried themselves up and went back to the bedroom. When Reno picked up his blouse, he held it up and said:

- "Weeeeeell… I guess I'll have to get used to carrying spare blouses…"

He let out a little laugh as Cloud blushed, ashamed he had let his emotions take over like that. And the redhead watched all the buttons littering the floor with a smile too. And then his stare met his torn panties, on the floor also. The blonde had noticed too and, just as the Turk opened his mouth, he said:

- "Yeah, I know, spare panties also…"

- "In fact, I was more like thinking about no underwear at all" the redhead said casually, shrugging.

Cloud laughed again as he threw some clean boxers at Reno, who burst out laughing with him. Then the redhead put on those boxers, his pants and grabbed his jacket and phone, then he opened the door.

- "You not even gonna kiss me and wish me a nice day?" he said, trying to look innocent while smirking.

- "I'm even gonna walk you to the door" Cloud answered, laughing, as he pushed Reno out of the room, following him even though he was still only wearing a towel around his hips.

- "Hey Rude!" Reno called as they reached the door. "Hurry up, yo, we'll be late!"

Then he turned to face Cloud and leaned back against the door, chuckling.

- "I never thought I'd ever say that… I'm the one who's late usually!"

Cloud got closer and placed his hands on Reno's hips before bending forwards to softly kiss the redhead, who placed his hands in the ex-soldier's hair. Then they heard some stumbling and giggling behind them, and they turned to see Rude putting on his sunglasses and jacket, his tie undone, while Tifa walked behind him, looking really radiant. Rude smiled widely at her before turning back to Cloud and Reno, who noticed something…

- "Yo, Rude!" he said with an unmistakeably teasing smirk on his lips, looking at his partner's ripped blouse. "Lucky we always keep spare clothes in the 'copter, ne?"

Rude blushed fiercely, while Tifa wrapped her arms around him and giggled some more. Cloud rolled his eyes and asked Reno in a low voice:

- "That was why you were happy Tifa was there when you phoned yesterday, right?"

- "Right on. I've known for a while Rude had a crush on Tifa…" Reno answered in a low voice.

- "Could've spared me a lot of time with her" Cloud said, rolling his eyes again and half-smiling.

- "Ah, come on…" Reno said, letting out a little laugh. "You have me now!"

Cloud smiled and placed a swift kiss on the Turk's lips before opening the door and playfully pushing him out.

- "Go to work. I don't want to hear say Rufus fucked the life out of you for being late and lazy…" he said, smirking.

- "Ooh he'd love that" Reno said, throwing his jacket over his shoulder and walking to the helicopter followed by Rude. "Well, I understand cause, who wouldn't?"

He turned to smirk and wink at Cloud who rolled his eyes, but was smiling. The blonde crossed his arms and rested a shoulder against the doorframe and watched the Turks as they reached the helicopter, then got new blouses on. Soon the chopper took off, Reno saluting Cloud, and disappeared from sight.

- "You know," said Tifa, who had just walked up to him and was looking at the sky, "I think it was a good thing in the end. I mean, of course it hurts me, because… well, you're you…"

The ex-soldier forced himself to be polite and listen to her. Who knew, maybe she'd end up saying something actually worthy of his attention.

- "Reno never really appealed to me, and now even less… -cough- bastard -cough- … But I must admit he hit the target dead-on with this one. I had always suspected Rude liked me, cause he always avoided fighting with me… Anyway, so it's a good thing all this happened. As you said, I found someone who really loves me."

He risked a glance towards her, sure to find her sulking cause it sounded like something really sarcastic, but Tifa was actually smiling. Man, he never understood girls. She turned to look at him and smiled even more widely.

- "Rude and I have a lot in common, it's cool" she said.

- "What? Like, beat people up bare-handed?" Cloud couldn't help but ask with a little smirk.

- "Yeah, that's so hot!" Tifa answered as she started walking back to her room. "He confessed to loving my style of fighting, and yesterday night we actually-"

- "No, I don't even want to hear about it" the blonde told her, closing the front door and heading back to his room too.

Tifa snorted, then smirked really evilly at him.

- "Tell me that again when you and that self-centered Turk stop screaming each other's name so loud as to wake the dead."

Ouch… Cloud just waved her off and reached his bedroom rapidly, trying to hide the blush that had appeared on his cheeks… He changed the sheets and crawled back into bed, stretching and lying on his side, cheek pressed deep into the pillow. He who usually never slept late fell asleep again and stayed in bed until way past noon. The redhead definitely had an incredible power over him…

XxXxXxXxXxXx

- "Soooo…"

Reno was piloting towards a nameless city in the mountains, where Rude and himself had to kill someone who had caused Rufus a lot of trouble… but they'd kill him only after they got precious info out of him. And since it was a long flight 'til that city, of course the redhead was gonna talk and talk and talk.

- "So what?" Rude asked, a little smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

- "Well? Did Tifa actually meet your expectations?" the redhead answered with a smirk. "Come on, answer, yo! I'm tired of always being the only one speaking and making conversation, talk a little, won't ya?"

There was a little moment during which his partner stayed silent, biting his lips trying to stop smiling, but then he gave in.

- "Really, Reno, I owe you a drink" he said, all smile. "I feel great, and she's the hottest thing ever! We have a lot in common, really, it's incredible."

- "What? Like, beat people up bare-handed?" Reno asked, rolling his eyes but smirking.

- "Yeah, she's really a kick-ass girl… Oh, and yesterday night-"

- "Shut up right this moment, yo, just changed my mind about you talking. I don't wanna be disgusted all day…" Reno cut him off, raising a hand.

Then a sly smirk tugged at Rude's lips and Reno actually got a little anxious.

- "I'll go knocking on your door telling you that when I hear you and Cloud screaming so loud the walls shake…" Rude told him.

- "Ha, you have no idea, yo…" Reno said with a laugh and a wide smile. "Next time we'll make the floor shake too. And the ceiling if I decide to use a few tricks on him."

The mental images nearly made the redheaded Turk nosebleed… while it gave Rude a throbbing headache.

- "I did not want to know that."

- "Keep Tifa and your "things" in the bedroom and I'll keep… I'll keep Cloud to myself and won't even think about sharing with you our juicy secrets, yo."

At this point, Reno smirked as only he could, and Rude sighed. He would never have thought that his partner, of all people, would fall, but really fall for someone. It wasn't a secret that the redhead was a real whore. Picky, alright, but a slut nonetheless. Rude strongly doubted that Reno and Cloud would stay together for a long time… He almost felt sad for the blonde. He looked so innocent… and he had to be corrupted by Reno…

Three days later, late at night

The bar was full once again, so it'd be almost useless to point out that Tifa was really busy. Over the top busy. But she was dancing between the tables while carrying drinks, all smiling and radiant. The very opposite of Cloud. Sitting at the bar, drink in hand, head down, he just wished for Reno to be back soon. If at least he had worked since the redhead had gone on his mission… but there hadn't been a single phone call for the Service. All he could do was train, drive around, help clean up the bar during the day and thus endure Tifa and her philosophical theories on love and life.

He lifted his head up, running his fingers through his hair and taking a gulp of whiskey. He sighed as he turned around to scan the bar. There was no one of AVALANCHE there, but it wasn't surprising. He'd heard they were on a mission far away, nobody knew exactly where. Vincent Valentine wasn't there either, but then again, it would've been surprising only if he had been there. Apart from that, a few regular customers, but nothing really interesting.

So he turned back and finished his drink, Tifa almost running to him to immediately give him a refill and a compassionate smile. Cloud smiled back and took a long sip. He would just love to end up so drunk he'd crash on his bed and faint. He was counting the bottles of alcohol on one of the shelves behind the bar when his cell phone vibrated in his pocket. He reached for it and, not even bothering to go outside where there was considerably less noise, he flipped it open and brought it to his ear.

- "Yo bitch!" a familiar voice sang.

- "Reno?" Cloud asked, smiling.

- "Hmm, babe your voice alone can get me hard…" Reno moaned. "Where are you?"

- "At the bar, as usual, why? And when do you get back here?"

- "Well, that's a problem, yo… There were… technical difficulties."

- "Are you ok?" Cloud asked, worried.

- "Yeah, sure! Hey, it's me we're talking about here!" Reno said, laughing.

Cloud rolled his eyes, but smiled.

- "Anyway, just to say it'll take longer" the Turk continued. "Now go to your room."

- "What? Why?" the blonde asked, surprised.

- "Trust me" Reno said simply.

So Cloud got up and walked to his bedroom, saluting Tifa who waved at him. He closed the door behind him and said:

- "Ok, so I'm there. Now explain to me why-"

- "On the bed."

A shiver ran through Cloud's body… Reno's voice had sounded so dominating, it was quite a turn-on.

- "Ok…" the ex-soldier said as he walked to the bed after taking off his boots and socks, and then he lied down. "And where are you exactly?"

- "Lying in the back of my helicopter… and Rude's sleeping outside in the camping tent…"

It had taken a while, but Cloud finally understood. Reno wanted… phone sex.

- "Did you take off your jacket already?" Cloud asked, smirking.

- "No…" the redhead answered in a moan, and surely with a smirk too.

- "Take it off."

- "No" Reno said with a little laugh. "You take it off me…"

Cloud smiled and said:

- "Ok then… I'm taking off your jacket, and your blouse…"

Reno let out another little laugh and, a little moment later, said:

- "It's all off… What are you wearing?"

- "Shirt and jeans…"

- "Then I'll get busy taking your shirt off."

So Cloud proceeded to do just that, then threw it on the floor.

- "Your pants now" Reno said.

- "Hey, you fir-"

- "Shut up… I'm taking off… your pants."

Cloud sighed and hurriedly undid his belt, then unzipped his jeans and pushed them down.

- "Alright then, my turn" he hissed. "I'll take off your blouse and your pants."

- "Hmm I'd kill for you to really take 'em off yourself…" the redhead moaned.

The blonde waited, faintly hearing the sound of the Turk undressing. Only that was already making him aroused. Then, just as he was about to speak again, Reno said:

- "Underwear now, yo."

- "No, yours first" Cloud said in his most dominating voice.

He was quite surprised when he heard Reno let out a little laugh.

- "What?" Cloud asked him.

- "Well, it's gonna be difficult, yo…" the Turk answered.

And then he moaned:

- "I'm not wearing any… I am totally naked."

The blonde felt his body react to his voice and to the mental images… So he hurried to take off his boxers while Reno asked him:

- "So now, what do you do to me?"

Cloud bit his lower lip and closed his eyes as he gripped the sheets with his free hand to make sure he wouldn't start doing anything right away.

- "I untie the leather strap holding your hair in a ponytail…" he told the redhead.

Reno let out another little laugh and did that, then asked:

- "Do you take the goggles from my forehead?"

- "No, I let you keep them" Cloud answered.

And it amused Reno greatly. Cloud was really into their little game now…

- "Now I play with your hair" the blonde said.

Reno moaned and got his hand in his hair, massaging his scalp, combing his red locks with his fingers. He closed his eyes and mentally blessed the blonde for asking that. He had never told anyone, but his hair… it was one of the most erogenous zones of his body. Sex was always so much better when his partner played with his hair… On the other end of the line, Cloud felt his body temperature rising… along with another part of his body… But he was waiting for Reno's orders. This game was definitely a whole lot of fun.

- "Yo, bought some lube while I was away?" Reno finally asked in a moaning voice, panting slightly.

- "Sure thing…" Cloud answered, smirking.

- "Alright… so I take it and pour some into your hand…"

The blonde reached inside the bedside table drawer and got a small bottle out, then opened it.

- "Put your phone on speaker mode, it'll be easier" Reno said.

- "You too" replied Cloud.

Both men did that and placed their phone beside their head. Then Cloud poured some lube into his hand and closed the bottle, throwing it back into the drawer.

- "And now?" Cloud asked, smirking.

Reno bit his lip and pondered over how he should say it… and finally decided to be as straightforward as usual.

- "I start jerking you off."

Cloud let out a little laugh and sighed as he was allowed to relieve some tension. He gripped his manhood and held on to the pillow, his movements slow, but he was applying considerable pressure to make up for it.

- "Slowly, Cloud…" Reno said with a playful voice. "Now I take my other hand and let it wander all over your body."

- "And I… take the lube and start… doing the same to you, pervert" Cloud managed to say.

He kept his eyes closed and, as he continued stroking his hardness slowly, he gladly imagined it was Reno's hands on him, making the pleasure bubble up in his lower regions as he caressed his already sweaty chest and abs… And soon he heard Reno sigh and moan.

- "What else do you… do to me… Cloud?" he asked, breathing heavily.

- "I keep playing with your hair… and pump that dick of yours as fast as I can" Cloud said with a smirk.

- "Fuck you" Reno said, not happy at all.

Damn, that ruined the moment… If he did that, it would end much too fast, especially if he was to play with his hair all the while.

- "Reno…" Cloud moaned. "You know if I really were doing it… to you… I wouldn't be gentle… So, do it, fast. And I want to… hear you pant and moan."

Asked with that voice, how could the Turk ever refuse anything? So he sighed and increased the speed at which his hand stroked him, his panting immediately accelerating and his breathing becoming much deeper and more difficult. He could feel his body burning and sweating as jolts of pleasure were sent from his arousal to his whole being and delightful shivers spread from his fingers playing with his hair… In the meantime, Cloud was barely managing to stick to the orders: to keep it slow. But, in a painful way, it was really good… And hearing Reno's breathing and deep moans, the blonde knew neither of them would last long.

- "Cloud…" the redhead moaned, feeling his orgasm approaching fast. "Aaaah yo…"

- "Any special requests?" Cloud asked with a little laugh, although short of breath.

- "Yeah, two, but the first… hmm… the first should… trigger the second…"

- "Then give me your orders…"

- "I want you to… I allow you to… ah fuck! I'm starting to… jerk you off… as fast as I can!"

Cloud got to doing what he was asked right away.

- "And then?" he asked the Turk, panting harder now.

- "Moan my name…" Reno whispered. "I love it… when you… do that…"

Cloud smiled to himself, then moaned:

- "One condition…"

- "Which… aaaah… which is?"

- "You scream mine."

Reno wouldn't even have needed that order… After a moment more of panting and moaning on both parts, the Turk gripped his hair hard and simply gave in, his whole body tensing up and his eyes closing tightly.

- "Aaaah Cloud! Cloud!... Aaaaah yo… fuck! Cloooouuuuud!" he screamed.

The auditory stimulation and the thought of the Turk reaching climax were the only things that were needed for Cloud to tip over the edge… He felt his seed escape him and slight spasms agitating his muscles, the heat and pleasure intense.

- "Hmm Reno…" he moaned between gulps of air.

- "Say that again…" Reno asked in a needy whisper, still panting.

The ex-soldier let out a little laugh and succumbed once again to Reno's voice.

- "Reno…" he moaned. "Wish you were here…"

He heard the redhead let out a little laugh, and he smiled.

- "Goodnight, Strife-sama, and thanks" Reno told him.

- "You too" Cloud answered with a laugh.

Then he hung up and sighed, looking up at the ceiling for a moment, while he caught his breath. Then he reached for some tissues and wiped his hand, stomach and manhood. He then put his boxers back on and slipped underneath the sheets, not even bothering to turn on the night lamp. The moonlight was enough. Even though he was sure that in some way Reno had done that to make the wait more tolerable to them both, he couldn't help but think it'd be even less so now. He wanted so badly to hold Reno tightly in his arms, feel his hair, hear his lame wordplays and endure his self-loving attitude…
