Changing Ways

“I will need you to give me the names of these cadets…”



Angeal’s words echoed melodically inside the young blonde’s mind, his footsteps making light noises on the tiled floor. Many wooden doors lined the hallway, each with a key card reader next to it. SOLDIER quarters.



Stopping outside a particular wooden door, Cloud pushed against the handle lightly, the door creaking open slightly, as the delicate blonde grinned slightly. The occupant had never liked the key card system, and had damaged his in order for friends to access, although by applying pressure to a particular spot.



Turning behind, upon stepping into the room, Cloud’s eyes immediately scanned the mess of clothes, magazines, and various other things that benefited the mind not to think about, carpeted the floor. His eyes suddenly fell upon a quilted heap, that was presumably the bed, or had been a bed. Black, silk sheets all in disarray, pillows hanging from the edges…and a large, human shaped (?) lump under the sheets.



“Za-….” Cloud began, suddenly rolling his eyes as a telltale display of large, black spikes emanated from the top of the sheets, the crown of hair resting on a silk pillow, bright, mako blue eyes opening.



“Nmm? Spikey? Hey there beautiful, how’s it hangin’?” a blindingly white smile was flashed at Cloud, who beamed, jumping onto the bed and crouching on his knees.



“Hey Zack!” he grinned, bouncing up and down slightly “I still, find it ironic that YOU” emphasises with a finger “call ME, Spikey!” he giggled, edging further up the bed, kneeling beside the larger of the two.



Zack, was a 2nd class SOLDIER, who had been, and still was mentored by the General Hewley, Angeal. Who Cloud had had the pleasure of meeting with, and the rest, that morning.



Evidently, as displayed by the state of the bed sheets, Zack was most likely off duty. Cloud well knew that the raven haired man enjoyed nothing more than sleeping in. The sheets clinging to his taut waist, Cloud observed the partially covered body, a blonde eyebrow quirking slightly. If he knew Zack, which he did, he knew there was not a single piece of clothing lurking under the sheets. Commando…as per usual…which brought a sly smirk from Cloud, tracing the legs, and the ample sized bulge just below the waist, to which Cloud imparted a tiny gasp.



Rolling his eyes playfully, Zack reached over, ruffling the blonde spikes of the smaller teen, who leaned in appreciatively, a catlike purr resonating from his throat, drawing a smile from the darker haired man.



“So…” he yawned, settling onto his side, as the blonde lay down, repeating the motion and propping his delicate jaw on his palm, “What have we been up to this morning, Spikey?”



“Zack…” Cloud groaned, slapping his forehead. “It’s 2:15...pm”



Zack grinned, lifting a hand to rest on the blonde’s hip. “Well it’s morning, somewhere baby…”. The arm snaking around his hip, pulling him closer, a firm grip on one of his butt cheeks. “Anyway…answer me…cadet” the last word was purred, as the black haired man reeled him in closer, sharing the same air as the blonde.



Cloud, blushing furiously by now as the contents of the sheet were crushed against his stomach, rolled his eyes and recounted the tale of that morning in the locker room, how his Commanding Officer had sent him to see General Hewley, his own feelings on the matters. Zack, listened intently, and then interrupted “So…what happened with Angeal? Did you tell him what those brats had done to you?”



Cloud glanced down at his arm, which, although covered by his shirt, was bandaged and had been treated, and then back up at Zack. “I went to the infirmary, which Angeal ordered-”



“Angeal, stop there. What happened? Tell me” grinned Zack, ruffling the blonde spikes once again.



“Well…” Cloud began “He asked me what had happened…and why I was reported…and I showed him what they have been doing to me…and…”



“And?” Zack pressed, also pressing his crotch into Cloud’s stomach again, almost teasingly, his blue eyes sparkling upon the return of Cloud’s flush.



“And…I…had a little…upset…rush…” he muttered, hanging his head in shame, until two soft fingers took hold of his chin, pointing it towards the owner.



“Hey…Cloud, it’s ok to cry…you know? After what they did to you…if you’d only let me I would have made them cry a whole lot worse than you ever have.” a reassuring nod, those mako blue eyes were wide, and sincere. One of the many reasons Cloud adored Zack, was the way his eyes expressed his emotions. Despite what was felt, they were always incredibly hypnotic.



Cloud replied, with a curt nod of his head, before taking a short breath, and continuing. “He…Angeal…I mean General Hewley…-”



“It’s ok Spikey, call him Angeal around me”



“Angeal…he held me…he sounded angry about what they had done…and…he…he…-”



“Go on” Zack nodded, running his hand from Cloud’s hip up and down the slim waist.



“Kissed…me.”



Zack’s eyes grew wide, flaring slightly. “He…wait…let me understand. Angeal ‘I turned down Zack Fair’ Hewley…kissed you? Don’t be shittin’ me here…” he grinned, leaning slightly forward. “How was it? Was it slow and awkward? Or hot and passionate, like ‘Take me right here and now in this desk you big stud’?”



Cloud blushed, gliding a tongue across his bottom lip, recalling the almost magical moment. “It was…new…I…I really liked it…he was very gentle…I was rather surprised, if truth be told.”



Zack smiled, those pearly whites flashing once again, pulling Cloud against him, crotch smooshed against Cloud once more, which the blonde couldn’t help noticing was firmer than before, which drew a smirk from him.



“I’m…in disbelief, Spikey! Really…I mean…wow…never imagined Angeal….being gentle…always stuck me as the rough type…” smiled Zack, noticing Cloud’s expression regarding the slight tent in the sheets.



“Not bad…for a first kiss” grinned Cloud, poking out his tongue at Zack, who recoiled a little.



“First…wait a minute…you’re 18?” to which Cloud nodded. “You’re fuckin’ gorgeous as anything I’ve ever seen?” Cloud rolled his eyes. “And…you hadn’t been kissed until today…? What the fuck is wrong with you?” to which Cloud gasped, as Zack pounced him and pinned him to the soft mattress. Yelping out, almost in a protest as Zack held his wrists down, the tall, lean muscular body above him, and the slight hardness against his stomach, before purring. “You mean I could have kissed those soft little lips, and been your first?”



Cloud merely shrugged, and nodded, despite blushing furiously. “Yes…”



“And…you didn’t tell me?” Zack sounded rather angry, however his facial expression was practically giddy. The muscles in his arms tensing, as a few errant spikes dropped forward across his face. “You disappoint me…I would have been so happy to oblige such a service!”.



Cloud grinned, his blush subsiding as he gazed at the sheet covering Zack’s most intimate area, able to make out a vivid outline of him. As desperate as he was to pull that sheet back, and go to town on his best friend, he refrained, and struggled a little. “Lemme go Zack!” he growled.



“Fair enough…” smirked Zack, releasing his vice-like grip. “Although since you screwed me out of giving your first kiss, I’ll give you your second. Pucker up, Spikey!” and with that, Zack leaned down, capturing the blonde’s lips in a rough kiss. His tongue immediately forcing it’s way into the hot, moist cavern of Cloud, lashing over the row of teeth, and dragging it over the teen’s tongue once, twice, and a third time before withdrawing, and releasing Cloud’s arms, which gently wrapped around the blackette’s neck, pulling him closer as their tongues performed a samba against one another. Guttural moans wrenched from Cloud by Zack, who laughed softly into the other’s mouth, before pulling away regretfully with a gentle pop.



“Well…I uh…um…very…” Cloud mumbled, attempting to find words in his vocabulary, but seemed to be coming up short.



Zack smirked, sliding off the youth, and returning to laying on his side. “Excellent, huh?”. To which Cloud scowled, and rolled his eyes.



“Don’t be cocky Zack, it isn’t very becoming of you…”



“Hard not to be when I have one the size of my sword”



Cloud rolled his eyes once more, eyeing the tent once again, Zack wasn’t lying.



Lifting himself from the bed, Cloud straightened out his clothes, and smiled. “I’ll come see you later Zack…I have to take…Angeal…this” to which he patted the pocket of his jeans and beamed.



“A love letter?” smirked Zack, which earned him a boot hurled at his head, which had narrowly missed, from the mess on the floor.



“I’ll be back” smirked Cloud, eyeing the nearly naked SOLDIER once more, before spinning on his heel, opening the door and stepping out. Not before blowing a kiss to the raven haired man who blushed.



“And who might…that be?” a soft, purring gentle voice came from the bathroom, as a tall man emerged, wrapped in a black towel, leaning against the doorframe. Droplets of water cascading down his hard, chiselled body. “I cannot say I deny the fact that he is rather delicious…for such a young face….” the man smirked, with a raised eyebrow at the other on the bed, as he removed his arm from the frame, and walked slowly, towards the bed.



“But…” he stopped, pondering silently. “…But I wonder how enticing that face would look under pain…”.



Zack rolled over, facing the man and shooting him a smirk of his own. “He’s a friend of mine…name is Cloud…” he shot the man a wink, the sheets miraculously still clinging to his beautiful, Adonis like body. “And you are quite correct…he is rather appealing…I must say” curling a finger invitingly to the taller man.



The towel-clad man purred pleasingly at the gesture, striding gracefully towards Zack. “And you…” he curled a knuckle, placing it under Zack’s chin for sky blue eyes to meet his, before placing a tender peck upon his lips. “Are even more so, darling.”



Zack rolled his eyes, his lips extending into a light pout. “Mmmn…my love…” he murmured, kneeling up against the man who stood at the side of the bed, the sheet falling from his body, his thick arousal pressing against the taller man’s, whilst wrapping his arms around the large shoulders.



Smirking, the man raised an eyebrow once again to the blush seeping onto his lover’s cheeks. “Care to elaborate those words?” wrapping his own arms around Zack, glancing down and pulling the other flush against him, the length against his firm stomach.



Zack’s hands found themselves tangled in soft, copper hair, pulling at it lightly as he kissed along the delicate jaw. “I…believe I could comply with that…” groaning softly, before tipping his head back up.



The other man’s hands roamed the back of Zack’s body, each gripping a perfectly round cheek, pressing their bodies even closer together. “Mmm…so…beautiful…” he purred, leaning in, his lips brushing sparingly across Zack’s, his tongue beginning to push forward and lap at his lips…”Ah…what you do to me…sometimes…”



Zack groaned, flexing his buttock in the soft hands, his tongue creeping out to dance across the other. “Mmm…Genesis…”
