CHAPTER 13
~!~
A light buzz brought two forms to wake up, finding themselves sprawled on the bed.
The blonde yawned with some regret, feeling incredibly warm and not ready to wake up, just yet. He could feel a warm and hard body next to him move as well.
"Good morning."
Sephiroth, being a light sleeper, had blinked away the drowsiness from his mind in a matter of seconds, and showed visible signs of being fully awake. He had turned his body around, putting all the weight on one of his elbows so he could hover on the man next to him.
"Hum…"
Cid mumbled, still yawning and stretching the sleep away from his body. Green eyes watched in silence, waiting for an answer.
" 'Mornin', Seph."
Cid spoke clumsily. When the blonde felt soft flesh press against his lips, he willingly opened his mouth to allow the other man to kiss and explore with his tongue. Cid found he was very comfortable in his position, and snaked an arm around Sephiroth's neck, preventing him from breaking the kiss anytime soon.
Sephiroth did not mind this action, moving his body over to the blonde out of instinct, his curious hands caressing Cid's sides. He smiled when he felt the smaller man shiver under him.
"Humm…"
Sephiroth pressed his tongue against Cid's, while one of his hands demandingly pulled one leg away.
Cid blinked during the kiss when he felt the general place himself between his legs and add a very familiar pressure from under.
The Silver General groaned in the kiss as he pushed himself further, feeling the blonde's body arch under him. He also felt Cid's hands being placed on his broad shoulders in an attempt to push him away.
Sephiroth merely released the blonde from the kiss, unwilling to stop his actions.
"Ahh, Seph…what are yo-?"
Cid breathed out, trying to fill his lungs with air, but found the task difficult because of the silver man's poundings on him.
"Uhn…wait-ah!"
Sephiroth had picked up his pace on the blonde, his large hands holding him in his place firmly.
"Uhh, fuck..!"
Cid groaned, throwing his head to the side when he felt something nudge a very sensitive spot in his body. Sephiroth had his face buried on Cid's shoulder, too lost in his own pleasure to register anything else.
"Ah! Seph! Oh, fuck!"
After a few more powerful trusts, Sephiroth heard Cid gasp out his name and spill his seed under him. The tightness around his cock increased, which caused the silver head to moan out and release himself into the blonde.
After a few heavy pants, Sephiroth felt something poke his shoulder.
"Uhh, move, ye bastard. Yer fuckin' heavy."
Sephiroth frowned at the choice of words, but decided to do as he was asked. Cid sighed in relief when he felt the heavy weight of his lover move to the side. He then looked at the other man in question.
"What got inte'ya? That hurt, you know?"
Sephiroth blinked at Cid's words, obviously surprised.
"It hurt?"
Cid gave the general a small glare.
"Yes, ye just put yourself right in, without much of preparation."
Cid showed annoyance in his voice, pointing down to his legs with his index.
"I'm sorry, Cid. I don't know what came over me."
Sephiroth admitted, feeling guilty at his own actions.
"Ah, forget it."
Cid waved a hand upon seeing the general's upset gaze and pulled himself upward a bit slowly, leaning his back against the bed's wall.
"It felt good after a while, anyway."
Sephiroth still watched the blonde, seeking reassurance. Cid, however was more busy looking around the room for his pants. When the blonde looked over to the other man, he leaned over to plant a kiss on the Silver General's lips.
"I said I'm fine. A bit sore, but I'll get over it."
"Cid, I will be more careful in my actions in the future."
Cid ignored the man's sentence, humming to himself.
"Hum, in the future. I like the sound of that."
The silver head blinked, green eyes locking with sky blue ones.
"Don't you think so, Seph?"
Cid grinned, caressing his lover's cheek with his thumb. Sephiroth gave a smile and nodded, leaning into the sign of affection.
"I do, Cid."
"Great. Now do me a favor, will ya?"
The Silver General shifted to sit himself up, looking over at the blonde.
"Fetch me my pants? I need somethin' from them."
Cid motioned to the mentioned garment, and Sephiroth saw no problem with that, so he complied.
"Here you go."
Sephiroth spoke, watching the blonde take his pants and dig his hands into the pockets.
"Thanks."
Cid said with a smile, pulling out something that made Sephiroth widen his eyes in horror.
"You can't smoke in here."
Cid stopped when he placed a cigarette in his mouth, looking over at the other man.
"What?"
"Cid, I don't want you to smoke here."
Sephiroth said with stern in his voice, eying the little white and orange stick like it was the nastiest and ugliest monster of all times.
"Ye don' like the smoke, or somethin'?"
Sephiroth looked at the blonde and nodded.
"Yes. The stench, it-."
Cid raised an eyebrow, showing visible frustration at not being able to smoke.
~An' here I was forgivin' him for bein' rough on me~
"It's hard to explain how the smoke affects me, but it's almost like an allergic reaction."
The silver head spoke, not daring to get back into the bed until the tobacco stick was gone.
"Ye allergic to this?"
"Let's assume that I do."
Sephiroth said with a nod. He wasn't willing to explain that his nose was like one of a dog.
"A'right, then. Do ye have a balcony around here?"
Cid asked, and Sephiroth nodded.
"Yes, right there."
"Oh, look at that. I haven't had a chance ta explore yer apartment, yet."
Cid said with a laugh, deciding to shrug off their little conversation, for now.
~Jus' great, he can't handle the smoke~
"Cid. I am sorry."
"Don' sweat it. Yer not the first to complain about my smokes."
Cid waved at the taller man, getting himself up slowly.
"You shouldn't be getting up, just yet."
"Heh, it's too late for that."
Cid grinned at Sephiroth, opening up the blinds of the large windows and sliding one of them open so he could step out.
Sephiroth's eyes followed the blonde wander in his apartment naked, either oblivious of it, or not being shy about his body. Whichever it was, the blonde didn't seem to really care at the moment. The silver head heard the blonde gasp when he witnessed the incredible view in front of him.
"Mother fucker!"
The Silver General felt an immense urge to face palm himself, smiling at the blonde's antics. He couldn't blame him, though. The view he had of both Midgar and of the far horizon was not visible down on the plate.
Suddenly, Sephiroth watched Cid facing the other side, cigarette lit in his hand with a displeased look on his features.
"What are you doing over there? And why are you naked?!"
The silver head groaned to himself, recognizing the voice.
Cid just took a deep draft of the cigarette, seemingly not caring if he was naked or not.
"What's it to ya? None of yer business."
"None of my-? Answer me!"
"Listen, pal. I'm here, aren't I? Face the facts and stop starin' at me junk."
Sephiroth was ready to jump into action, before both his lover and an obviously angry Genesis would break out in a heated argument.
"What is all that noise about, Genesis?"
Sephiroth heard another voice speak, and recognized it to be Angeal's.
The dark haired man stopped when he witnessed the bare back of the blonde in Sephiroth's balcony.
"Angeal! Can you believe this?"
Unfortunately, Angeal could not speak, for he was at a loss at the sight when the blonde turned around to acknowledge his presence, allowing a full frontal view.
~Oh god!~
"Oh, hey, Angeal."
The blonde grinned with a wave, ignoring the red head shouting from behind him.
"You know him?!"
Angeal nodded, unable to speak.
~He's naked, in Sephiroth's balcony~
"Gosh, I'm feelin' rather exposed here!"
Cid growled in frustration, and quickly put out his cigarette somewhere, before walking back inside. Angeal's mako blue eyes watched intensely the blonde's actions.
~Sephiroth is going to hate that~
When Cid stepped into the room, he looked over at Sephiroth with an annoyed look.
"Guess what."
Sephiroth rose an eyebrow, ignoring the new stench of smoke covering his lover's body.
"What, Cid?"
"I met your neighbors."
The Silver General chuckled lightly.
"So you have."
They could still hear Genesis outside, calling out Sephiroth and complaining to Angeal at the same time, until Angeal spoke in a firm deep voice.
"Genesis, enough! Calm down! Let's get back inside and talk, instead."
"Whatever!"
After that last shout, they heard the red head close the window's balcony door shut with some force, and were surprised when they didn't hear glass shatter from the action.
"Guess someone's not so happy 'bout me an' ye."
Sephiroth frowned at Cid's habit of shortening the words, and the tobacco's smell was making him slightly nauseated.
"What?"
Cid inquired, picking up on his lover's displeasure.
"Oh, right, right. I'll take a shower."
Cid spoke, but had to stop himself, because he did not know which way the bathroom was.
"So…where's the bathroom?"
"That way, Cid."
Sephiroth pointed and watched the naked form of the blonde limp towards the other division, closing the door from behind him.
Soon enough, Sephiroth heard a ring on his door, and knowing who it was, prepared himself for it. He quickly put on his pants to be able to open the door, and was soon facing the angry red head.
"Sephiroth! What in the name of Gaia?"
"Good morning to you as well, Genesis."
Sephiroth greeted, watching the red head closely.
"You…and him?"
Genesis spoke in pure disgust, not believing his own words as he spoke them.
"Genesis."
Sephiroth sighed, not knowing how to say things that he was supposed to say.
"It happened yesterday, Genesis."
He knew he had no obligation to explain himself, but knowing the red head's feelings made him feel guilty. Especially when the red head was giving him the most hurtful expression in his eyes.
"What?"
Genesis's voice shook, making Sephiroth swallow dry.
"I'm sorry, Genesis. But it happened-"
"Don't bother."
Genesis wiped a tear and turned, returning himself to his room. Sephiroth watched, feeling helpless at not being able to do something.
~!~
If the doors weren't electronic, Genesis would have slammed it shut with brute force. He threw himself over to the couch and didn't bother to stop the tears from flowing.
He felt crushed. Sephiroth had always ignored his feelings, and now he picked up a random guy he just met and did what he did.
"Jerk."
Genesis sobbed, his shoulders shaking with painful and hateful emotions.
A buzz from his phone caught the red head's attention, but he didn't felt like checking who it was.
~It's probably Sephiroth with some lame excuse~
~!~
"God damn it."
Angeal exasperated to himself, covering his eyes with one hand, rubbing his own temples in comfort.
~That tanned skin~
Angeal moved his hand over to his mouth, biting on one of his fingers.
~That ass~
The dark head unconsciously moved his free hand inside his boxers, feeling guilty at his own actions, but refused to stop.
"Cid…."
He breathed out in a low voice as to not be heard, pleasuring himself at the fresh images that he just witnessed a short while ago.
~That grin of his~
He wanted the blonde so badly. Angeal continued his fast pace, head thrown over to the pillow that was covered in a mess of short black hair.
"Ah…!"
He gasped, feeling his release come to an end. He released his now limping member and lay on the bed for a while, before he decided to get ready for his morning duties with a deep sigh.
~Have a puppy to train and more reports to file~
~!~
Cid walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He had taken a generous time in the shower, and by the time he got out, the scent of food filled his nose. That scent of pancakes allowed the blonde to find his way to the large kitchen and spot the Silver General already sitting on the table with a newspaper in hand.
"Oh, smells good, Seph."
Cid smiled brightly, taking a seat on a table so he could be facing Sephiroth. When he noticed the man's silence, he tilted his head in question.
"What's wrong, Seph? Is somethin' the matter?"
~It's 'something', Cid. Why is it so hard to add the 'g' at the end?~
Sephiroth sighed in annoyance, looking over at the blonde.
"What? Yer startin' to get me worried, there."
"Nothing."
"Seph? Was it that guy? Did he come here an' bother you about us?"
"That guy's name is Genesis."
Sephiroth spoke, not bothering to hide his annoyance.
"And yes. He did come to visit."
He finished, taking a quick sip on his coffee.
"Right, didn't mean to offend ya."
Cid waved the other man off and took a few pancakes for himself before speaking.
"An' what did Genesis told ya?"
The blonde man asked after a while.
"He was…"
Sephiroth wasn't sure if he should tell Cid about Genesis's feelings.
"Now, I know we started on the wrong foot, but does he always do this? I mean, yellin' out at yer guests'?"
Sephiroth nodded with a sigh.
"Yes…"
"Why? Is he jealous, or somethin'?"
~Please, add the 'g' at the end!~
Sephiroth sighed again, taking a sip out of his coffee.
"Yes, Genesis is jealous."
"I see. Does he have a crush on you?"
Cid asked, taking a piece of the pancakes with his fork.
"Yes, but there is nothing we can do for him."
Cid could see that Sephiroth felt bad about the red head, but decided to say nothing about it.
"Do you have tea, Seph?"
Sephiroth blinked, looking at the blonde, before answering.
"No, but I know someone who does."
It was Cid's turn to blink.
"Oh, please, don' tell me it's Genesis."
He groaned in disbelief at his lack of good luck.
"What? No. Actually, it's Angeal."
"Oh, good. At least that guy doesn't have anythin' against me."
Cid spoke with a sigh, before continuing.
"You think he would mind if I come over an' ask for sum' tea?"
Sephiroth merely shrugged.
"I'm sure he won't mind."
"Great."
Cid smiled, finishing his breakfast along with the silver head.
"I have to leave for my duties. What about you, Cid? Will you be staying here?"
Cid stopped and looked over at his lover, pondering for a moment.
"Good question. I don' really have anythin' to do, ya know?"
"In that case, you are free to stay here, if you like. I'll give you a spare card key, in case you want to go out and return afterwards."
Sephiroth offered, walking out of the kitchen.
"Thanks. I think I'll take on that offer, Seph."
Sephiroth nodded with a smile and walked over to the bathroom for a quick shower and to prepare himself.
Cid decided to wait for the silver head while he got himself dressed up. When Sephiroth walked out, he wasted no time in getting himself dressed in his usual First Class attire. Cid merely watched, while sitting on the bed.
When the Silver General was done, he turned his attention to Cid and walked over to press his lips against the blonde's.
"I will see you before dinner."
"What? We ain't meetin' for lunch?"
Sephiroth caressed the blonde's chin, looking into his eyes.
"I cannot, Cid."
"Aw, alright. We'll meet here for dinner, then."
"That sounds good."
Sephiroth nodded, kissing the blonde one last time and handing him a spare card key before making his leave. Cid waved and watched, still sitting on the general's bed.
