Desire
Final Fantasy VII
Pairing: Vincent Valentine/Cloud Strife | Valenstrife
Notes: Holy shit. My first smutty piece in years. The sorta hints in my more recent fics have nothing on this. The line "There was something to be said about desire." came through my head and brought my fingers to life in inspiration. Idk what else to tell you. I hope you enjoy this.
There was something to be said about desire.
It came in different forms, but the sensation remained the same:
An incessant, near unquenchable want for something.
For Vincent Valentine, desire was something he thought himself immune to after all these years.
And yet...
Hands clutched at his shoulders in desperation, a short gasp piercing the silence as he fought to control the flames burning within himself as he moved, pushing his body to meet the other's, driving himself almost violently inside of the other beneath them.
His hair fell like a curtain around them, crimson eyes hazy yet gleaming; alive with that said-same desire he held as he drove in, harder, faster.
The pace was almost animalistic, bordering brutal, and yet there was not a single word of complaint from his partner, only accompanying moans and pleas for more, for Vincent to keep going, encouraging him on, deeper into the madness.
"Cloud..." He rasped, voice somewhere between a low growl and a wraith-like whisper.
His hands gripped the other tighter, repositioning the body beneath him as he changed angle, snapping his hips forward to further bury himself inside of the other.
A keening moan broke past the blond's lips as they arched themselves upwards, body shaking as it attempted to meet his motions.
"Vincent, please." Came the almost broken plea.
Losing himself completely at the other's voice, Vincent sank into a mindless, primal state, a snarl escaping past his lips as he let go of his restraint, fully succumbing to the desire, allowing it to overshadow and embrace him completely.
The line between pleasure and pain soon became blurred to Cloud as Vincent picked up his pace, driving into him so hard with wild abandon that it might've broken another person, but he was made of something different. Something stronger. The Mako that coursed through his veins amplified his endurance and abilities, allowing him to withstand the pace, even revel in and relish it.
Desire gripped him as well, allowing the blond to get lost in the sensation, to escape and let go and allow the other total control over him and the pace.
It didn't take long at the grueling pace they were at to build to a crescendo of something terrifying but equally anticipated as they all but rushed forward towards their climax.
"Cloud," Vincent ground out, burying his face into the others neck, lips attaching themselves to the flesh there in a harsh nip before fangs emerged and pierced skin.
"Vincent!" Cloud cried out, the shocking spike of pain the catalyst that broke the ever-tightening coil inside him as he found himself coming, entire body shuddering and locking up as he felt his whole world shrink down to naught but a small speck, becoming lost within the overwhelming, crushing feeling of release.
Something akin to a roar emitted from Vincent as he reached his own high, his own release crashing in like a tidal wave.
Harsh, deep breathing was the only sound that followed for a time as both stilled and let themselves ride the sensation.
Slowly, reality came back upon them.
Vincent carefully moved, withdrawing himself from Cloud but not far; merely enough to glance over the other with a small glimmer of concern coming to his crimson eyes.
Foggy mako-blue eyes stared back at him in a sort of dreamy fondness, a small, reassuring smile rose to the others mouth.
Desire was a funny thing.
Now, instead of the burning need to take, to claim and possess, he felt the compelling force to give.
Something fluttering and light now flittered in the place the fire once was and he found himself sinking back down to drape himself over the other, pressing his lips to Cloud's in a kiss to convey the words he was unsure he fully knew how to speak.
Fingers found their way to his hair and buried into the long tresses in response as Cloud met his kiss, a pleasant hum echoing in the back of Cloud's throat.
Vulnerability was not something Vincent was accustomed to, but as he pulled away from the kiss, he allowed his body to once again sink down against the other as he lowered his head to rest against Cloud's shoulder, eyes slipping closed.
Cloud's other hand rose up and began to slowly run along his shoulder and down his back.
Desire...
Desire was a decidedly human trait, and for Vincent, he silently mused the concept over before allowing the thoughts to still.
If he could still feel these sensations, still lose himself inside of it, then perhaps...
Perhaps there was still some semblance to his own humanity left.
Cloud's fingers continued to stroke through his hair and across his skin and he found himself treasuring it.
"Thank you..." He found himself murmuring quietly.
"For what?" Came the slightly confused question.
"For showing me I can still feel." He answered honestly.
A surprised look crossed over Cloud's features for a moment before another soft look came to his expression as he closed his eyes and let out a quiet chuckle.
"Makes two of us." The blond answered.
That flittering, buzzing sensation increased.
Understanding the desire now, Vincent allowed his arms to encircle around the other, still lying there pressed to Cloud and held on.
Desire was a fickle thing, but if one thing could be said about it...
It was nice to be met with equal force.
No more words were spoken between the two as a calm stillness settled over them.
Neither knew exactly when they slipped into slumber, but each of them would say it was one of the most peaceful slumbers they'd experienced in a long, long time.
