Confusion in Mind and Body
Chapter two
By the way…if my writing style ends up sounding archaic (like “he knows not of which”) then switching back to informal writing, I apologize. I tend to speak like that as well……….I read too many books. Lmao…
And a bit of a warning…in this chapter, we talk about Cloud getting naked…a lot…
-1-
Zack awoke to the sound of water from the washroom next to his bed, and Cloud moaning. It must’ve felt good to be in warm water, getting all clean…but if Cloud continued to moan as if he were getting a blow-job, Zack would get…anyway…maybe Cloud wouldn’t mind if he joined? After all, they did change together in a locker room before. But being in the shower, well that might be too close for comfort for Cloud.
“I mean, it ‘is’ Cloud, after all,” Zack whispered out loud, as if contemplating this to him self. The sound of the shower stopped, and Zack could hear Cloud getting out, and something heavy dropped! Zack got up, despite that he was wearing nothing but his boxers, and knocked on the washroom door. “Cloud? Everything all right in there?”
“Yeah,”
“You sure? I heard a loud noise and…”
“Do you mind?”
-2-
Cloud picked up his towel quickly, embarrassed, and his face flushed red. He wrapped it around his waist tightly and looked in the mirror at his own reflection. Damn, he wished he hadn’t left his clothes in the other room. Zack was in there and…
He was never good at being half-nude in front of anyone. He would just look down at the floor humiliated at him self.
Cloud was reminded of the days in the Shinra change-rooms. He really didn’t feel like reminiscing the past, but here he was, looking in the mirror, remembering how the men around him always made fun of him because he never made it into SOLDIER. How they would call him pathetic, petty…at least one of them said he had a nice ass. But he was sure he said ‘nice-woman’s ass’. Whatever.
But Zack was always there, always protecting him.
-3-
Cloud got out of the washroom hurriedly, for he didn’t intend to stay half nude in front of Zack for long. Didn’t that mean he got naked in front of Zack while he was asleep? And Zack missed it? And Zack cared?
In the change rooms when they worked for Shinra, because Zack was there, no one would mess with Cloud. No one in there right frame of mind would mess with a soldier in first class, and Zack was sure Cloud was most appreciative of his protectiveness. In return, Zack was able to appreciate the wonderful view of Cloud’s nude torso…and his arms…and his most welcoming chest, defined ever so nicely with his delicate shoulders, accented with soft, pale skin…uh…
“Shit,” Zack spat almost silently, watching droplets of blood begin to drip from his nose into his bed-sheets. How could he imagine his best friend – BEST friend!! – like that?! Gawd!
“Zack?”
“Hah, I’m fine,” Zack mumbled somewhat cheerfully. He didn’t want Cloud to do the worrying, for the goldilocks was probably stressed out of his mind already. “Just a nosebleed. Nothing terrible.”
-4-
Cloud nodded and went back into the washroom of doom. Cloud called it this because, well, the sink was nasty, the water in the shower was much too hot, and he didn’t want to know what the hell was in the toilet…but he wasn’t going to use it.
Cloud put his clothes on, taking his mind away from previous thoughts and was hoping that Tifa would explain what their new job was, and how much he and Zack were getting paid. Well, he could care less about gil, for Cloud just wanted to do this because he felt that he would only be comfortable staying with his best friend, and Zack apparently ‘really’ wanted to do this.
It didn’t matter. Eventually, Cloud would run away and get back at Shinra for what they did to Zack. For what they did to him!
…and it hurt…
…and Zack wasn’t there to help him…
…well he was there, but not ‘all there’…
Cloud had to start standing up for his self. He had to stop expecting Zack to be the man and do something himself for once. Cloud was able to fight after all; he just wasn’t as skilled as Zack. That’s why he planned to get back at Shinra by himself. As much as he wanted Zack to be there with him, he needed to do this by himself.
God, that guy’s been on his mind non-stop since yesterday. It gave him a headache and flustered his stomach.
It would be best if he just thought about something else, but it was hard.
Cloud opened the door, not expecting Zack to be right there, in front of him, so he was face to chest with Zack.
Zack smelled of sweat, dirt, and metal, but it didn’t bother Cloud as much as he thought it would. Actually, it was quite nice, and it made his head ache go away. Actually, it made everything around him go away. His surroundings became dark, as if the world around him was disappearing.
-5-
Zack watched as Cloud bumped right into his chest, and slide down onto the ground, unconscious.
“Cloud?” Zack leant down onto his knees. Cloud was ‘still’ fatigued from yesterday? Well, he couldn’t doubt it; he did have to ‘literally’ drag Cloud out of the Shinra mansion. He almost felt as if he was taking home a drunken girlfriend from a bar or something. “Jesus, Cloud…” Zack picked him up and put him on his bed.
Cloud was very pretty, Zack noted to himself. And he looked so delicate, so breakable, and in more than one way. (A/N: tee hee) Brushing his fingers through Cloud’s hair, he wondered how Cloud felt about him…if maybe he had the same thoughts going through him mind the way Zack thinks of Cloud. Probably not; it just wasn’t natural for a man to like another man. Why was he even allowing himself to think that that was how he felt about Cloud? Maybe if he stopped staring at Cloud’s soft and moist lips, stopped thinking about how cute those barely noticeable freckles on his face were. Damn it! Why does Shinra have to corrupt everything?! (A/N: Sure, blame it on Shinra.)
No, he couldn’t blame it on Shinra. He’s thought of Cloud that way since he could remember…
“Zack…” Cloud woke up. “S-sorry, I was,” To save Cloud from embarrassment, Zack interrupted,
“I’ll go take a shower now. You go talk to Tifa,”
-6-
“WHAT?! Is Tifa fucking insane?!” Zack almost chocked on what ever the hell he was eating. He’d just been informed by Cloud that they were going to bomb some of Shinra’s reactors.
“You wanted to do this, Zack,” Cloud sipped some of his coffee, and grimaced. Damn, Zack really wished to get away from Shinra! He had enough of it! Who’s idea was it…what ever! He wanted to be a mercenary, not a terrorist.
“And how much are they paying us exactly?” the raven haired man bit into his…well he didn’t know. Jesse made it. “It better be worth it,”
“I don’t know. She said to talk to Barret once we’ve done the job.”
“What? This is some sick shit being pulled here,” he took another bite and shook his head in disappointment. The smell of the bar bothered him, actually, everything bothered him now that he was agitated and annoyed. Except for Cloud, because he was sure Cloud had the same anger within him. There was a fucking reason for leaving Shinra! Poor Cloud, after what they had done to him…Zack had watched, but being unable to move prevented him from rescuing those goddamned mother fucking bastards. He slammed the table before him, startling Cloud, and stood up from his chair. “Well, if we get enough money…I mean…you know all I wanna do it get rich, right?”
“Don’t we all?” Jesse asked, coming in with more food…er…stuff. She sat in between the two friends and began to chow down. “I’m sure Barret’ll give you a good amount. But he does have some trust issues to fix with you guys. He’s too paranoid.” Cloud stared at his food, as if he hadn’t heard a word. “Even Tifa wasn’t able to convince him that you both are good guys.”
Zack looked at Cloud, the little guy was most indubitably zoned out, and it was so adorable. Especially with the drool going down the side of his mouth. Zack just wanted to lick it…
“What? You’re crazy,” Zack said, shaking his head violently.
“I’m serious Zack,” Jesse said, not knowing that Zack was actually talking to himself. He wondered to god what was wrong with him today. Was it the lack of health? (A/N: maybe he’s just born with it, maybe it’s maybalene! …is that how you spell it?) Suddenly, right before Zack’s eyes, Cloud dashed to behind Zack and took out his sword. It turned out he was attacking Barret whom was pointing his gun at Zack.
“I wanna know who the fuck you really is!” Barret explained angrily. Jesse was just too pissed with him to respond, for her mouth was just hanging open.
“Then you get your gun away from Zack,” Cloud stated solemnly. “Don’t make me kill you.” His large sword (A/N: no, silly…the metal one of course!) pressed against Barret’s thick neck, and Barret pulled his gun away. He glared at Zack, who was really too shocked to respond in any matter.
“Fine. So, who is you, really?” Barret asked, his bad grammar making Zack shudder.
“We’re mercenaries,” Cloud answered. “We’ve already told you.”
“Yeah, I mean, if we were really from Shinra, don’t you think we would have killed you by now or something?” Zack asked. He was still kind of perplexed by how Barret was able to come up from behind him without him even knowing!
“I…I suppose,” Barret looked down, ashamed, as Cloud put his ‘large sword’ away.
“And if you still don’t believe us,” Zack continued, “We’ll do the job. We’ll blow up the Shinra reactors and whatnot for you, okay?”
“Fine,” the big black man muttered, then looked back at Zack, “But anything funny’n’you gonna wish you was never born. Ai-aight?”
“Kapeesh,” Zack said, winking at Cloud playfully.
T.B.C. –REVIEW PLEASE! ^_^

---For those who were wondering why I called this story ‘Silly Thoughts’---
When I wrote the first chapter, I thought that no one would read it, that no one would like my story, for I don’t know many Zack x Cloud fans. So, this story is basically the thoughts that go through my head if Zack had lived! I wish he did. He is my ‘favourite’ character after all…and yes, that’s Canadian spelling for you. : P
When you read my stories, I also tend to go into the characters thoughts for some reason, and I also have a propensity to ramble on for some time…which didn’t exactly happen in the first chapter for some reason. But I know it happened for sure in this one. Anyway…I would also like to know if the rambling is good or bad. (I think it’s bad…I should stop myself from doing such things)
Anyway, if you have time, logged in or not, PLEASE REVIEW! It would help me a lot. (The more reviews, the faster the chapters come!) –because I usually get inspired to write when I know there are some people who like my story. ^_^
