Well, well. So we were in the middle of a "sex" scene, right? Hm, but is our little uke really ready for what's coming up? HA! And also, this is a shorty, to compensate for the previous novel lol. Read and see! ^_^

Chapter 6 – The good student

- "Don't get mad, or all worked up, ok?" Zack said after a moment, caressing Cloud's cheek gently. "But… would you, well, um… -sigh- I'll say it plain and simple, alright? I'm… really dying to make love to you."

Another wave of heat coursed through Cloud's body as everything these words implied flashed in his mind's eye. It scared him, it made him excited, nervous, embarrassed. "Make love to you", Zack had said… wait, this meant Cloud would play the girl part?! What in the world was he supposed to think? Could… wait, nothing was supposed to go in there! No, no no no, a definite no. Nobody was going there… well, at least not now. He couldn't bring himself to answer, and Zack could see the dilemma on his face.

- "I won't be mad if you're not ready" he said to reassure his lover.

- "I, uh… no?" Cloud stuttered.

- "That's alright" Zack said, bending down to kiss the blonde's forehead. "You can just tell me whenever you've thought it over and are ready, in a week, or a month, or a year."

Cloud was evading the first-class's eyes, because he knew that even though he didn't say so, he was disappointed. The blonde was feeling more than a little uncomfortable right now…

- "Hey, babe, it took me a full month before I slept with Angeal after he talked to me about it. It's perfectly normal, and I'm kinda glad you wanna give it some thought. Wouldn't want you to make a decision based only on my sexual appetites!"

The blonde finally looked at him, and seeing the grin on his face, he couldn't help but feel better. He nodded and gently pulled him down for a kiss. After a little while, though, he realized that Zack still hadn't had his orgasm. However, that could be easily fixed.

- "Um, we could, uh… test to see if you really were a good teacher…" Cloud said in a small voice, blushing.

- "Ooh, who would have thought?" Zack said, smirking. "This SOLDIER can talk dirty!"

Cloud pushed him sideways so he would land on his back, and he grabbed the man's half-hard shaft as he bent down to kiss his lips. He was getting more and more comfortable by the minute as he felt Zack moaning into his mouth and hardening in his hand. After a little while, Zack grabbed the blonde's hair and slowly pushed him down. Cloud got the message quickly and knelt between the black-haired man's legs. He had to admit it was a little bit of a turn-on to be "forced", gently. He parted his lips and bent down until they touched the tip of the man's cock.

Zack didn't let go of his hair; instead he started guiding his lover's movements, very slowly at first, then just a little faster, testing the grounds. Yes, this young man learned very fast. He applied every technique that the first-class had used on him, and he used them good. There was a lot more to learn, but Zack would let him discover and try those out himself.

- "Oh babe, you really are a quick learner" he moaned as Cloud sucked on his arousal. "That's it, move your hand at the same time…"

He moved his head up and down a little faster, his hand imitating the movement, and his superior released his grip on his hair to let him move as he pleased. Well, as he pleased him. The blonde smiled inwardly and felt a boost of confidence push the mental barriers a little further to the back of his mind.

- "Ah yeah, keep at it, faster…"

Zack's breathing was fast and hoarse, and he knew it would not take an eternity before Cloud made him cum. Oh, but this guy had never done this before, so… should he let him receive that load in his mouth? It's kind of a big step forward, and not everyone likes it after all. He hadn't done it on his first time either, so… No, Zack definitely did not want to traumatise him.

Cloud got a little bolder still and quickened the pace, not going deeper for fear of choking, but at least going a little faster. Having his hand move at the same time, as Zack had asked him, also prevented him from going too deep each time. It was a great trick, for both parties. He loved the sounds that fled through his lover's half-parted lips, and the ones that seemed to get stuck in his throat. It was all very arousing, even if it was just auditory stimulation. The man's breathing was difficult now… Then the blonde felt Zack's hold onto his hair again.

- "I'm… gonna cum…" the older man hissed.

He quickly sat and pulled Cloud to his lips as he grabbed the blonde's hand which was still on his cock, and both of them pumped him to climax. He moaned loudly into the blonde's mouth as the heat spread from his groin to his whole being and made him feel a little dizzy and weak. Cloud could feel Zack's semen flow down onto their fingers, and he felt quite happy with himself.

He trailed from the man's mouth to his cheek, then to his neck, then his collarbone, kissing his way to the man's throat, while the black-haired man's body shivered in the aftermath of his orgasm. After a moment, when his breathing had slowed, Zack sighed and said:

- "Well, seems I am a good teacher. Or rather you're a good student."

Cloud looked at him and returned the smile he saw on his boyfriend's radiant face. He really was incredibly beautiful, with his messy hair, playful eyes and slightly blushing cheeks.

- "Ok, time to go clean up" the first-class said as he gently pushed Cloud away to get up, but the younger man didn't move.

- "Wait- uh… I…" the blonde started saying, getting all embarrassed again. "Why did you… you know…"

Zack raised an eyebrow at him, and then it hit him.

- "Didn't want to freak you out, babe. So um, I don't know if I'm reading your intentions correctly, but if you want to try, be my guest!" he said with a face half-unbelieving and half-dreamy.

The blonde slowly bent down and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. He knew Zack must have kept him from swallowing for a good reason, but was it really that intense, or that bad? He had swallowed, after all… and it had been kind of sexy. Cloud finally gave an experimental lick on the man's still half-hard cock to taste the liquid that lingered there. It was… kind of gooey, alright, and the taste was… he wasn't really sure. Did it really taste something? It coated the palate in a weird way, but apart from being slightly acidic, it wasn't so bad. He gave another, longer lick, just to make sure, and he heard Zack let out a little laugh.

- "You're a god."

Cloud looked up at him, and the first-class bit his lower lip in a lustful way.

- "You should stop, you'll make me hard again" he said as he got up and helped Cloud up too. "Come on, let's get a wet towel before it gets all sticky."

The older man led the blonde to his private bathroom and wet a little hand towel to get rid of the stuff. He felt like he was in a dream… well, not because of the towel part, but having such intimate moments with this awesome soldier felt surreal. Once they were both clean and dry, Zack threw the towel into the sink and brought Cloud into his arms for a tight hug.

- "I love you, so much" he said, surprised at his strained voice.

Cloud heard the strange tone too and held on a little tighter to his lover.

- "Me too" he answered, closing his eyes in bliss.

I feel so good when I'm with you, he thought, but his throat was too tight for him to say it. They held on to each other for a long moment, relishing in the feeling of their bodies pressed against one another. There were no sexual thoughts now, just pure happiness from being close to the other.

When they parted and headed back to the door to pick up their clothes, Zack let out a little sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair.

- "It's really a bother, I mean, that you can't stay here."

Cloud put on his underwear and looked at Zack.

- "I'd love to" he said with a little smile. "But if we get caught…"

- "I don't even want to think about the General finding out" Zack finished with a little shiver.

Who knew what mad tortures the cold and distant Sephiroth would pull on them? Better do everything in their power so he didn't hear about it. Cloud acknowledged and kept dressing up until he was ready to go, but as he was about to get closer to the exit, he turned back and wrapped his arms around the black-haired man's waist, resting his head on the strong chest.

- "Can I stay just a few more minutes?" he asked in a soft voice

Zack smiled and kissed the blonde's hair, returning the hug and caressing the spiky hair with a hand.

- "Of course" he whispered back. "Come here."

He quickly grabbed his underwear, put them back on and then led Cloud over to the bed, where they both laid down facing each other, legs entwined, an arm under the other's neck. Zack caressed Cloud's soft cheek as the blonde caressed his back, eyes closed. The blonde could have easily fallen asleep in such a comfortable position and situation, so he had to fight the urge and concentrate on the slightly rough skin of his lover's fingers drawing patterns on his skin.

For his part, the first-class explored everything he could see of the blonde's body with his eyes. He wondered how a man so handsome could be so totally unaware of his good looks… but that was something he really liked about Cloud: he was a little naïve. He thought that, in the end, if they were discovered and kicked out of SOLDIER, it wouldn't be so bad: they'd have the chance to be together. That sounded really cheesy, but it was very tempting, to be honest.

- "Alright, sleepyhead" Zack said in a soft voice after a moment. "If you want to get to your room without incident, you should go."

Cloud opened his eyes sleepily and let out a little sigh.

- "Yeah, ok."

They kissed shortly, sensually, then got up and walked to the door. Zack held it open for Cloud, and after a whispered "oyasumi", the blonde left to go back to his room. Zack couldn't help but watch him until he turned the corner and was out of sight. He smiled again as he closed the door and headed back to bed. This time, he had the feeling that they would see each other again in his apartments very soon.

When Cloud got to his room, he undressed to his underwear and just flopped face first onto his pillows. He wrapped his arms around one of them and turned to lay on his back, smiling as he hugged the pillow. Soft… warm… alright, sex really did make him feel like a vegetable on ecstasy. Whatever, he was so happy right now! Zack had shown him some of his talents, he himself showed Zack what he could do, and both of them enjoyed it very much. He had felt much more comfortable than he had expected, too. Well, that could've been a lot worse, ne? He wondered what he could try next time… maybe Zack could be "persuaded" to give him a few more lessons? The thought of it convinced him that he wouldn't be able to wait too long before paying his lover a visit.

Ooh, so Cloud chickened out in the end! They both seem pretty happy anyway, ne? I know this is so unlike what I've written before, but I actually really enjoy keeping away from pointless smut and good ol' pwp. ;) Don't worry, I'll keep giving Cloud (and you peeps) some tips to… well, you know. ^_^ Sexual education ftw!
