Chapter 5

Cloud

We both haven't said a word to each other. I didn't really notice but I'm kind of really nervous that I'm in such a closed space with him. I shouldn't be feeling like this…

Zack was driving while I sat in next to him in the passenger seat. I was staring out the window of Zack's car; the blurred lights where passing by. Though my mind kept drifting to this new information; Zack still spoke and saw Don Corneo on a daily bases. Just knowing that sent chills down my spine. The Don is a horrible man, a man that if I were to see his dead body I would probably spit on it. I just couldn't understand why Zack never saw what I saw in that man. I mean Zack had to of had a pimp at some point when he started um 'working'. But whatever, this is all Zack's business and not mine and I would not want to be a part of it.

I tried shaking the Don out of my head by thinking of other things like...like ummmm, Vincent! Let's think about Vincent. Unfortunately that's not a good thought either considering we argued most of this day, but come on! He really needs to try to be at least a bit nicer about things.

"I actually look around the place Vincent" I was bit curious, I mean this is kind of the first time Ive been in a big fancy hotel, unfortunately Vincent did not like my answer AT. ALL. He pulled me away out of Zack's ear shot and started lecturing me.

"What the hell are you saying?" He said in a stern voice.

"What do you mean? I never been in a place like this and I'm curious about it. Besides, we are supposed to be getting on his good side and you're not doing a very good job." I countered.

"I don't need to do shit!"

I stared at him in disbelief. Why the hell has he been acting like this?! I know that the situation that we're in is bad but there is still no real reason on why he's being such a jerk. I could understand why he's not so great when he's around Zack but he has no right to act this way with me and not even Tifa. I scowled at him. "Fine if you don't want to do 'shit' then just leave. We've been here since yesterday and partially today. We haven't even been here for a fully 2 days and your already acting like an ass!" and with that he walked away and as did I.

I was snapped out of my 'day dream' when someone caught my eye, though it could just be my eyes playing ticks on me of course. I couldn't get a second look since we are driving 50 miles per hour but I could have sworn I saw… Sephiroth?

I turned my head to look at Zack who was paying close attention to the road since he s a bit tipsy as well. "Hey Zack, does Sephiroth still live here?" I asked. He seemed to be caught off guard since we both haven't spoken in a while.

"Huh? Oh, yeah yeah. He's still around, so are the rest of 'them' too." He said. And with that the conversation was over. Now I had other things on my mind….My half brothers…

By the time we arrived at Tifa's it was around 12-ish and the bar was still alive with cars parked in the parking lot and the bright lights shown inside.

"Thanks, see you later I guess. " I said as I opened the door. I had started to get out of the car when something warm grabbed hold of my hand.

My heart jumped at the feeling of Zack's hand upon mine. I looked at him but immediately looked away. Was my face red? No it must be the alcohol. But my heart was still beating at the faster rate.

"W-what are you-"Before I could finish my sentence Zack's other hand took hold of the back of my head and pulled me towards him, my mouth was now on his. It was warm and it felt….weird. Whats going on? I don't know how long we had been kissing but I broke it off as soon as the head lights of another car flashed by, causing me to panic. I had broke the kiss off and started in shock. Oh my god what the hell am I doing? WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?! I was kissing Zack, why the hell was I kissing him! My heart was beating even faster and I could swear that I even started craving it more. No no no, I need to get out of this car. I opened the car door and ran off without closing it.

"Cloud wait!" Called out Zack and then came that sound of his other door opening, shit shit shit! I ran faster, I didn't want to look at him I couldn't! I ran faster and I made it inside the bar that was filled with unfamiliar faces and made my way to the door that lead up to the stairs. I pulled the door open and ran up the stairs; I then slowed down and stopped once I found myself up in Tifa's living area. I threw myself on her couch to catch my breath.

After a minute or two my breathing was back to normal. The bathroom door in the hallway then opened and came out a freshly cleaned Vincent from the shower. Though I would usually find the sight of him half naked very appealing the flash of Zack and I kissing kept invading my head. All I could feel when I looked at Vincent was guilt. I just wanted it to go away.

Before Vincent could say anything I practically ran up to him and jumped him. Of course I couldn't know him down because he can handle my weight. Our mouths clashed together. He was hesitant at first but decided to kiss back.

We managed to make it to the bedroom without crashing into anything while our lips where locked together. We decided to take our clothing off before jumping into the bed. I closed the door and made my way to Vincent and locked lips with him once more. I started to strip naked…

That night we where a big mess of sweat, adrenaline and lust, even though deep down I didn't have sex with Vincent out of love, I did it to try to erase what I did. I wanted to erase the guilt but I soon found out; waking up in the morning to a naked Vincent that the guilt was very much still there.

I sat up and stared at him for a while. His face was peaceful and really pale; I should take him to the beach one day. I jumped when I started to hear a vibration coming from somewhere. The hell? Where's that….Shit that's my phone! Phone, phone where are you? I was out of bed searching for my phone before I could miss the call. The sound was coming from my pants pocket and I went and grabbed them, taking out the phone; Zack's name flashed on the screen and my heart rate picked up. I was hesitating, should I answer it? No don't, he freaking kissed you when he knew that you are engaged! But I did kiss him back. Even more reason to not answer! I don't knowwwww!

My phone stopped vibrating and then it showed that I had a missed call from him. I breathed out a sigh of relief and plopped back down on the bed. After awhile I decided to get up and shower. Vincent was still asleep which was odd because he's the one to usually be up before me.

After my shower I was dressed in a navy blue t-shirt which was probably not a very good choice since it's so hot out and I don't want my shirt to absorb so much damn heat because of the dark color. I found Tifa in the kitchen pouring out some cereal in a bowl.

"Morning" I greeted as I sat down at the table. She jumped and turned to look at me.

"Oh shit! I- I mean… Hehe sorry I forgot that I'm not alone here right now. "She giggled and took her bowl and sat down across from me. "I didn't wake you up did I?"

"Oh no your fine" I held up my hands. She flashed a smile and went to her breakfast.

"Do you eat cereal every morning? You gotta cook yourself something Tif."I stated. She then slammed her spoon down on the table and groaned.

"Guh, you sound just like Zack!" she groaned. Hearing his name made me tense. Jeez right when I was getting him off my mind! I lowered my head so that Tifa wouldn't see my reddening face but when I looked back up she had suspicion on her face. I decided to try to act normal so that maybe she can think that she's over thinking things.

"So…What are you going to be up to today?" I asked but she ignored my question and immediately stated.

"Something happened with you and Zack yesterday." I was caught off guard. I forgot Tifa was good at this stuff, even when we were kids we could never hide things from her because she would always somehow know. I did want to tell her that Zack kissed me but not while we were in the same building as Vincent.

"N-nothing happened. We just had drinks with his workers and one of them is missing and stuff and I guess I'm just worried is all…" I said as an excuse, though it was somewhat true. Tifa's eyes softened.

"You where always like this, worrying about things that you shouldn't even be worrying about…"

"Oh that reminds me!" I suddenly remembered that Zack sent me a picture of Sam last night when I asked for it. I pulled out my phone. "I'm going to send you a picture of his missing worker. That way you can recognize her if you ever see her." She was quiet for a minute but then giggled.

I sent her the picture but I had also wrote that something did happen and that I would tell her later when Vincent wasn't around…

"So what do we have planned out today, we have to see Zack again today?" Vincent asked as we sat in the living room. Just thinking about seeing him now made me nervous and twitchy. No, can't see him today, but there are a few people that I do want to see.

"I want to see my brothers…" I said quietly. Vincent sat up from the couch to look at me with a confused look on his face.

"What?" He asked. This part was the hardest because I never told Vincent that I actually had any family left.

"I have four half brothers and I need to talk to them." I simply said as I got up and took the rental car keys that we had delivered to us today. "Let's go." I turned and smiled at him but his face was everything but happy.

"So you have brothers now?" He said with a menacing voice as he got u from the couch walked to me. "Anything else that I need to know? Because you know it's totally normal that your fucking fiancé doesn't know everything about you right!?" He started yelling. His voice was booming and it was even more intense since he was standing right in front of me.

I was stunned; all I could do was stare up at him. He was right, I keep so much stuff from him. What kind of fiancé am I?

"Vincent, I'm sorry I'm just-" he took hold of both my shoulders and brought me closer to his face.

"You love me right?" He said with a stern voice while he brought my face closer and closer to his. I couldn't answer him, all I felt was some kind of fear at the point. He then slammed my face into his and he kissed me roughly and painfully. I didn't feel any love in this all I felt was fear and nauseous. I had finally built up the strength to push him away from me, once we where apart I slapped him the face and quickly left the house. I didn't realize that I had tears in my eyes until I was in the rental car and signaling on leaving Tifa's.

I wiped my tears as I waiting for the few cars to pass. Once I was on the road I didn't really know where I was going but I found myself driving to the old park that I used to play at as a kid.

I sat at and empty bench in the shade of the trees. The park was pretty people-less except for me and a few elders wondering about. It felt weird being here on my own; I would usually come to this place with a group of friends or something back when I was a kid. Though I guess it all has to be different now, Tifa has her dream bar and Zack is a prostitute. Things do change….

I must have dozed off…

We were in the Don Corneo's place. Zack and I decided to have dinner with the guy a few days later after he gave us his business card. Zack had suggested that we could just check out what the man wanted since he said that he had a job offer for us and we could make good money off it. I was a bit excited, who wouldn't be? We got an opportunity to live a good life with each other and that's good enough for me.

We sat at his ginormous dinning table. The Don sat in the middle while Zack sat to his right and me on the left.

The Don looked to me and sent me a friendly smile, it sent chills down my spine and I immediately felt uncomfortable though Zack looked fine, he was having a conversation with one of the Don's body guards. The bodyguard's hair was an unnatural color of red. He had just cracked a joke and both of them busted out in laughter; I wasn't paying attention to what the joke was so I was left out. I was too busy trying to avoid the Don's gaze. I swear I'm so close to punching this old geezer in the face.

The Don looked to his loud guard and held out his hand. "Reno quiet down…"

The red head immediately stepped away from Zack and stood by the Don once more. Zack looked to me and smile, it was reassuring and gave me a sense of safety, I gave him a soft smile.

"So I understand that you both boys are lovers?" The Don finally spoke.

"Oh yeah, we've been together since the 5th grade!" Zack said with pride in his voice. I didn't feel uncomfortable anymore. Maybe all this wasn't so bad…

I slowly woke up from my dream by the sound of someone's voice.

"Hmmm…?" was all that I could manage to get out.

"I heard that you were back in Midgar but I wasn't sure if it was true…"

"…Well now you know…" I said groggily but I then recognized the voice and turned to the direction of the person who was talking. My eyes finally adjusted to the man who stood in front of me. "S-Sephiroth?!"

We both sat at the bench. We both were pretty uncomfortable, I mean we really didn't get along that much when we were kids so it's a bit weird to be somewhat decent to each other.

"So how are Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz doing?" I finally broke the silence.

"They're still in school. They are going to start high school this year." He said with fondness talking about our brothers.

I smiled and looked to him. "That's good. They haven't gotten into any kind of trouble have they?" Sephiroth laughed.

" Oh they try and they can keep trying as long as they stay in school."

"Yeah…"

It became awkwardly silent again. It wasn't like I ever knew how to talk to Sephiroth in the first place, the only talking we ever did were insults and our fists.

After a while Sephiroth got up and stood tall in front of me. I stood up as well; preparing myself for whatever the hell is going on here. Sephiroth then began to speak. "Cloud, I don't want you or I to be half brothers…" and here we go, I tensed up to prepare myself for some kind of fight. "…I just want to be brothers…" wait what? He must have noticed some confusion on my face because he quickly started to explain himself. "I've been taking classes on how to control my anger and it's really been helping and I know that I had always directed my anger at you because I always thought that it was your fault that our dad and my mom had split up, but I now know that it was his fault and people make mistakes…" He then looked shocked "Not that you're a mistake or anything!" he began. I couldn't keep it in any longer, I started to laugh.

"Ah jeez, it's ok that you're sorry but just don't go all soft on me." I said. Sephiroth being a kind person didn't really fit him that well. I held up my fist. "Truce?" he stared at me with mild confusion but quickly gathered himself and gave me a soft smile. "Truce." He said as he bumped his fist with mine. I guess today isn't such a total disaster.

I had hung out with Sephiroth for a few more hours. We just spoke and went to a fast food joint to eat. He had told me that Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz where currently visiting their grandmother that lives in Kalm and that they would be back before school started up.

It was 7:50 when we decided that should go back home and we soon departed after we said our 'See ya later' s. I was back in my rental car driving back to Tifa's. Knowing that Vincent will be there waiting for me made me fill up with dread, and it was a horrible thing to feel especially when you feel it towards someone whose suppose to be your sanctuary.

I was stopped in traffic when my phone started vibrating. I picked it up and saw Vincent's same flashing on the screen. I let out a sight and waited a little bit to answer it: preparing myself for another fight. I finally answered and held the phone up to my ear.

"Hello." My voice sounded so damn depressing.

"Where are you?" was all he said. His voice sounded emotionless so I couldn't tell if he was still fuming our not.

"I'm on my way back, just stuck in traffic."

"on your way back from Zack's?" His voice accusative. What the hell, does he really think I would go running to Zack?

"No, Vincent I didn't go see Zack." I needed to not crack and start yelling at him. I could feel the stress starting to build up, it was starting to get intense.

"Then where the hell were you?!" He began to yell. And then I cracked…

"I went to go see my fucking brother, is that a problem, do I need your permission to see family now?! I don't want to deal with your jealousy shit right now, I'll talk to you when I get back so just calm the fuck down!" and then I hung up. My body was tense and the stress just got bigger and bigger. My phone then started to vibrate, thinking that it was Vincent again I answered.

"The hell do you want now? I told you that we would talk when I got back."

"Cloud?" came Zacks voice. Ah shit…

I think I'm getting an anxiety attack…
