Chapter Twenty-Two

Elena sat at the girl’s usual table in the Turk bar, her mind was full of jumbled thoughts. Tseng in front of her in her apartment, the casual coffee in his hand, as he moved through her apartment taking in her trappings, the stereo in the background playing out an old CD her sister had left behind. That was one of the separated Turks she hadn’t seen or heard from since the ShinRA building exploded.

Tseng had picked up the CD case and looked at the name scrawled inside.

‘We never found your sister…’

Elena shook her head. ‘No.’

‘Do you miss her?’ Tseng looked over his shoulder at her.

She had blinked at the general question, Tseng was making light conversation something he never did… If at all in the office.

‘Sometimes then I remember how she treated me, how much we never got along. And I wish we had been more closer like M’adoc and Kaye then maybe I would miss her more than what I do.’ She had sighed and looked to the kitchen, she was suddenly craving that bottle of vodka that sat next to the ice box in her fridge.

Tseng had moved up in front of her. ‘Either way… I’m sorry for your loss.’

Elena blinked. ‘Is it wrong to say I miss Misteeq more than my sister?’

Tseng shook his head. ‘You were closer to her than your sister. It’s understandable. Everyone is still feeling her loss.’ His hand moved up to touch the side of her face.

Elena’s hand moved over his as he lent down his mouth capturing her softly at first, and her mouth had parted letting the tongue slip in, to taunt hers. His hand slipping to the back of her neck as their tongues had danced in each other’s mouth’s.

“Gil for them.” The voice cut through her memories and Elena blushed looking up seeing Cissnei slipping in to a seat a drink in her hand.

“Nothing.” Elena looked down.

Cissnei smiled. “You were distracted there. Off in your own world.”

Elena nodded lifting her drink to her lips she took a sip. “Tseng… was at my apartment last night.” She confessed.

Cissnei blinked the shock on her face obvious. “Tseng?” She whispered. “What happened?”

Elena looked at her. “What do you think happens between a man and a woman when they’re alone in an apartment?”

Cissnei glanced to Kaye at the bar talking to Walker, or flirting in her case. “How’d he end up there?”

“He drove me home in my car, and I drove him to work this morning. He was lost mentally during the whole ordeal. Sep- Jenova has really done a number on him, he’s so confused.” Elena confessed. “But don’t tell Kaye her mouth is bad as Reno’s when it comes to office gossip.

Cissnei smiled. “My lips are sealed.”

“Thank you.” Elena smiled in relief.

“How was he?” Cissnei asked the curious expression on her face. “I rarely see emotion on his face, the last time I saw it was when he asked me bring Zack back alive.” She seemed to look down sad at the memory.

Elena felt sorry for Cissnei she had never really recovered from that incident, looking to the table Elena blushed bright red.

“Strong… desperate and so very lost. I’ve never felt anything like that from him before.” Elena confessed. She could still remember the tips of Tseng’s hair brushing over her shoulder, as his mouth moved down her body, as his hips rocked against hers so urgently as if driven by that primitive male gene.

“Sounds intense.” Cissnei whispered looking thoughtful for a moment.

“It was but the next day… he was back to normal… our no emotion on his face boss. Having a go at Reno for failing in the Zack thing.” Elena sighed.

Cissnei let out a breath. “Reno and Zack… it didn’t work?”

“No. Reno hit the unconscious world of too much alcohol.” Elena looked at Cissnei, show covered her mouth in a snicker.

“Poor Reno.”

“Don’t you mean lucky Zack? How could Tseng do that to him?” Elena shook her head. “Either of them. I know he has thoughts, emotions and feelings I felt them all last night, but that’s just cruel.” She added.

Cissnei looked at her sympathetic. “Elena, he’s trying to help by feeding Zack the right combinations of strength to fight Jenova.”

Elena nodded she looked up as Kaye made her way to the table. “Heeeeelllllo ladies.” She grinned.

“He has a girlfriend why do you keep trying?” Elena asked.

Kaye just flashed them a smile. “Because it’s fun. I wound him up before by flirting with Clover. Man his reaction was a laugh.”

“I saw him frog marching you away from Clover.” Cissnei laughed. “Anyone would think you were dating him. But with the way M’adoc teases him you’d think they were gay.” She looked close to breaking in to laughter at M’adoc’s near death experience with Walker’s moods over the past six months.

“My brother just loves to wind him up.” Kaye shook her head slipping in to the seat next to Cissnei. “So how is everyone’s love lives?” She pried.

Cissnei shrugged, while Elena just blushed.

“Oooooh that good huh?”

“We’re not as active as you are and so publicly obvious without revealing who your mystery man is.” Cissnei retorted.

“Can’t risk M’adoc knowing I’d like this one to stay with me.” Kaye confessed. “his over protective big brother things looses me more dates than infantrymen lost to a monster ambush.”

Kaye noticed as Sylvie and Quinn made their way into the bar. They had both decided to pretend that nothing had happened between them, but since Kaye knew she could see Quinn’s eyes linger on her friend. In a decidedly non platonic way as he turned to the bar to get a drink.

“Hey guys what up?” Sylvie asked sitting in a chair near Elena.

“Nothing much just noticing the way you keep glancing at Quinn.” Cissnei teased

“Kaye Did you tell them?” Sylvie asked shocked that Cissnei knew.

“No I didn’t but you might as well tell them.” Kaye teased sitting back in her chair watching her friend squirm.

“What happened?” Elena asked curiously.

“Ooh do tell I’m dying to know what going on.” Cissnei sat forward in her seat.

Looking at her lap Sylvie mumbled.

“I slept with Quinn last night and I think I’m love with him.”

“Oh my god yes!” Cissnei squealed leaning over to hug her friend.

Elena clapped her hands happily as Kaye just smiled.

“Please, please don’t tell him! He doesn’t know I love him and I want to keep it that way.” Sylvie pleaded.

“Your secret safe with us right girls.” Kaye said looking at the others and they both nodded in agreement.

Elena swallowed she kept the smile on her face for her friend. It was the least she could do, everyone was finding or had someone stable, except her, it’s like everyone was branching off in to pairs while she just had that empty feeling one got after a one nighter and knew she would be returning home to an empty bed that still lingered with the man’s scent.

‘Oh Gaia how low have I fallen?’ She thought to herself. But the train of thought was cut off as a shadow loomed over their table and their drinks and she looked up.

“Hey baby what all the excitement about?” M’adoc purred his hand going to Sylvie’s face tilting in up so she was looking into his eyes.

“Let go of me.” Sylvie whispered quietly hitting his hand away.

“Why so shy are you still angry with me? I said I didn’t mean to hurt you.” M’adoc confessed to the red head sitting near Elena.

Sylvie looked away. “Its not that something else happened.”

“And that would be? Come on babe don’t be shy?” M’adoc looked at her.

“M’adoc leave her alone you don’t understand.” Kaye sighed.

Elena cringed as she saw Quinn spotting M’adoc near Sylvie the look he shot drove a chill down her spine and she understood now why Reno ran when ever he saw Quinn, the eyes was pretty but it was a curse a big fat curse. Elena noticed Kaye’s hand linger to the gun on her hip.

‘That’s not a good sign… there will be some broken protocol tonight.’ Elena thought. She caught Clover leaning back in the bar stool watching them and she raised a brow at how relaxed the blonde looked and how he seemed to calculate and notice everything. That look that moved over his face and Elena recognized it immediately. Tseng had that look, that ‘I notice everything’ look. She looked to Clover’s face and his blue eyes caught her brown ones and he grinned, she saw him hold up his cellphone camcorder and she frowned.

‘I knew it he’s out for entertainment.’ Elena thought with a frown.

Cissnei saw Quinn move and he floated over silently and she knew the predatory look of a man when the female he’d chosen was put in danger and this was that look.

The growl that left the young Turk’s mouth was low and dominating, something she’d never heard from the normally quiet Quinn before.

M’adoc heard the growl and turned round straightening himself up to his full height and Cissnei’s hand moved to her face. “Here we go.” She mumbled.

“You’re not the only alpha Quinn.” M’adoc sneered.

“Don’t touch her. I warned you to back off.” Quinn snarled.

“Humph your only a boy what would you know, age brings more experience I’d take her in ways you could never imagine.” M’adoc taunted.

“Hah I showed her how much of a man I was last night. She wanted me not you.” Quinn gave a nasty smile.

Cissnei looked to Sylvie worriedly, the red headed woman was shaking, it wasn’t anger, it wasn’t fear it was confusion, it was obvious last night something had happened between her and M’adoc but the way the playboy moved it had driven her in to the arms of her Turk partner and a man nine years younger than herself. She looked to Elena who was chewing on her bottom lip watching them the two shared a glance, they knew the rules.

Turks were not supposed to sleep with other Turks unless it was bypassed Tseng and Rufus’s permission first. Turks were not supposed to fight other Turks either. But lately a lot of Tseng’s old protocols were being easily forgotten as the normally emotionless group, had fallen and suddenly become human more than they ever had been in all their years of slaughter.

“Come on then Quinn show me how much of a man you are, out side and now.” M’adoc taunted bringing out his ornate chain staff.

“God guys this is stupid stop it now its no time for testosterone take out.” Kaye glared pulling out her gun pointing it at her brother.

Walker came to their table drawing his sword putting it under Quinn’s neck.

“Kaye is right stop it now we come here to relax not to fight it’s not fair on Sylvie.”

Kaye looked to walker and their eyes met and they gave each other a small smile which was enough for M’adoc to unarm his sister and for Quinn to duck under Walkers sword

“Your on Playboy its time to take you down a peg or two.” Quinn took out his wire pulling it taut.

“Oy out side I want no harm to come to this bar you hear me!” The bartender yelled

Both fighters nodded to the man making their way out side.

Kaye looked on after M’adoc frustrated. “Damnit M’adoc!” She cried following after her brother.

Elena stood up slowly. She knew Tseng would know and she frowned, she looked to Clover sitting on the barstool on the phone his elbow resting on the bar behind him as she spoke casually.

She only just made out the sound of Clover saying ‘Fight’, ‘Quinn’ and ‘M’adoc’. She went to follow but Cissnei grabbed her arm and shook her head.

“Don’t get involved. Remember the protocol.” Cissnei remarked.

“All of them will be questioned. But we’ll be asked why we didn’t stop it?”

“Turks do not choose sides, we are given a side by command only.” Clover quoted making them both jump as he flipped his cellphone shut sticking it in his pocket.

Walker just rolled his eyes. “Well I for one am going to beat some sense in to that asshole.” The red head stalked out of the bar, Sylvie following worriedly.

Clover lent on the table and he looked from Elena to Cissnei and back again. “Drink? Since Reno’s away.”

Elena just smiled the blonde said the magic words.

“I’ll take two.” Cissnei grinned.

~*~*~*~

Elena rubbed her eyes tiredly and she let out a yawn as the car pulled up to the curb and she looked at Clover behind the wheel.

“Thanks Clover.” She waved to the blonde and he grinned and waved back.

“Sleep well.” He smiled.

Elena waved to Cissnei and Kaye in the back seat. Clover was always really good to them, dropping them off home after they’d all hit the drinks hard.

Elena watched as Kaye climbed in to the front seat and laughed as she landed half on Clover half on the seat.

“Smooth!” Cissnei chuckled then looked to Elena and motioned upstairs.

Elena turned round and saw her apartment light on a figure standing in her window a very familiar figure, with long black hair slicked back and her eyes meet the yellow amber depths and she felt her breath hitch before he moved away from the window.

Looking over her shoulder she saw Cissnei wink, Elena waved making her way in to the apartment building then to the elevator to her floor.

She moved along the corridor quickly and quietly before stopping outside her door and testing the handle she found it unlocked.

Slipping in to her apartment she found the lights on and she looked round she could feel her heart pounding in her chest rapidly. Did she really see Tseng in her apartment?

Elena pushed open her bedroom door and blinked seeing Tseng sitting on the edge of her bed.

“Sir…” She whispered. “You came back.”

He nodded his head slowly. “Were you involved?” Tseng asked.

“In what?” Elena asked.

“The M’adoc Sylvie Quinn incident.” Tseng stated.

Elena shook her head. “No sir. The moment they left to go outside Cissnei, Clover and myself did not follow.”

Tseng nodded. “Good.” He stood up. Elena watched as he moved up to her and she let his arm move round her waist and she sucked in a rushed breath as his mouth covered hers urgently.

~*~*~*~

The next morning…

M’adoc and Walker made their way into the ShinRA Complex , the two friends walked up the stairs where Walker’s partner Clover was waiting… singing something they couldn’t hear the words to.

“Oh god no he’s singing again.” Walker groaned putting a hand to his fore head. Sitting in a near by chair. Walker tried to drown it out his partners irritating but surprisingly good singing voice by putting his hands over his ears. Clover’s daily antics were sometimes just in bad taste.

“I’m not here for your entertainment, you don’t really want to mess with me tonight, just stop and take a second,

“I was fine before you walked into my life, you know its over before it began keep your drink just give me the money, it’s just you and your hand tonight!

“Listen up its just not happening, say what you want to your boyfriends, and just let me have my fun tonight...!” Clover sang.

M’adoc twitched he knew Clover was making a joke about him and Sylvie, after being with Walker last night it didn’t hurt as much as he thought it would, but it still hit home.

Little did Clover know that he had just insulted M’adoc’s masculinity. M’adoc walked over to Clover, a predatory expression over his face, the same he got when he was seducing people and he slowly stroked his finger down the other blonds arm.

“How bout your hand? I’m sure that will suffice” The older man purred.

Clover went deathly pale and he shot to the other side of the room away from the perverted blond.

“No thanks!”

Laughing M’adoc made his way to his seat just as Kaye walked into the room with a very shy but very cute rookie. Following closely behind them was the weapons scientist gone Turk and Turk doctor, Ezekiel ‘Judas’ Iscariot, who sat on the couch. He pulled out his weaponry and began cleaning his guns, looking at Clover from the corner of his eye.

“Hey brother how are you holding up? I was so worried about you.” Kaye led her charge into the room, who was busily eating candy from a paper bag.

“Never mind that who’s the wallflower?” M’adoc went over to his sister looking down at the tiny wee thing, who stopped in mid motion of putting a piece of rock candy in his mouth. Extremely vivid yellow green eyes went huge in fear at how tall the blond was.

“His name is Haldane Yeman, it’s his first day today.” Kaye smiled at the boy who continued to stare at M’adoc.

M’adoc grinned as he bent over the rookie taking the piece of rock candy from his hand he popped it into his mouth, he then threaded fingers through the kids shortish purple black hair, his other arm around his small waist pulling him closer. M’adoc kissed him transferring the rock candy from his mouth, to the kids who’s eyes were rounded like saucers staring into M’adoc’s, a faint blush riding his cheeks.

Kaye stared in complete shock. “M…M .M’adoc what are you doing!” She stuttered.

Walker sighed it was going to be a long day, feeling a little jab of something near his heart that he refused to acknowledge as jealousy, he was in love with Kaye wasn’t he?

“I think I’m going to hurl” Clover muttered.

Ezekiel looked up from cleaning his guns one blue black eyebrow raised.

“Careful M’adoc you’ll swallow him whole.” Ezekiel drawled. M’adoc released the kid turning to grin at the ex scientist.

“I’ll take REAL good care of him.” The blond purred, patting the little things cheek.

Haldane swayed on his feet unsteady sucking on the candy the older man had feed him.

“Good candy.” He mumbled hiding behind Kaye.

A door opened not far from them.

“M’adoc, into my office, NOW!” Tseng barked.

“You’re in for it now.” Ezekiel smirked.

“Suck my dick Ezekiel.” M’adoc growled walking over to Tseng’s door.

“Sounds like fun I’ll write in my diary of things to do.” Ezekiel laughed as M’adoc gave him the finger.

~*~*~*~

Tseng had sat behind his desk again looking over the report as M’adoc walked in to the office, the blonde shutting the door after him, he turned to look at Tseng.

“You wanted to see me?” The blonde asked wearily.

Tseng knew that M’adoc knew he was in trouble.

“Yes, I am to tell you your behavior last night at the Turk Bar is not acceptable, a member of the Turks while in uniform is NOT allowed to fight amongst them selves is that clear M’adoc?” Tseng clipped.

“What! That little son of a bitch Quinn narked on me?” M’adoc growled obviously forgetting he was talking to his superior.

“That ‘little son of a bitch’ is our only hope at finding a way to get rid of Jenova.” Tseng retorted. “What I say next must not leave his room… Quinn is dying from his eye transplant and from other experiments he went through, he has a few months at best, I’ll not have you ruining it with petty jealously understood?” Tseng leant back in his chair his fingers steeped together

“Uuh oh that’s too bad.” M’adoc fidgeted looking down at his shoes.

“Good now I have a job for you.” Tseng reached into a draw near his desk pulling out a file and placing it in front of M’adoc.

Tseng looked at M’adoc. “Have you seen this man before?”

M’adoc opened it up looking at the photo of an attractive man with mischievous light blue mako enhanced eyes, and spiky black hair, the hair had more black than he remembered but he knew that face and remembered it even though it was just once

“Yeah I remember him, he was on our turf.” M’adoc replied. “Reno had brought him into the bar. So what’s the mission?” He asked taping the photo.

“I, M’adoc want you to seduce him.” Tseng said mater of fact.

M’adoc was glad there was a seat nearby other wise he would have fallen to the ground

“Excuse me sir you want me to fuck him?” M’adoc asked in shock, was his reputation really that bad round the office? “Not that I’m complaining but why?” The blonde sat forward in his seat stroking Zack’s fringe in the picture. Black hair wasn’t usually his thing, but he was cute.

Tseng looked pained at the blonde’s choice of words.

“Yet again this is confidential and not to leave this room.” Tseng repeated. “Zack has been infused by Jenova AND Sephiroth genes, we are not too sure on Jenova’s plans but for some time Sephiroth has been trying to get complete control of Zack’s body so he can have it for his own. The silver you saw in Zack’s hair in the bar is Sephiroth’s influence.” Tseng stood to his feet and began pacing.

“So are you telling me Sephiroth has been using this ex soldier’s body to have sex with people to get power?” M’adoc asked watching Tseng pace. He’d never seen his boss look more frustrated in his life. “If so how come Zack hasn’t been completely taken over?” He asked putting a hand in his hair starving off a headache.

“That is correct, and this is where you come in, we have been throwing people his face for a while now, to beat Sephiroth back.” Tseng explained. “But it is some times a losing battle, I believe that with your insatiable energy in claiming bed partners, would be best for Zack to gain complete control of his own body to battle Sephiroth.” Tseng went back to his chair and sat down.

“Do I get paid for this mission?” M’adoc asked hopefully.

“Due to your behavior last night… This mission should be with out pay but-” Tseng was cut off as M’adoc jumped to his seat reaching out to Tseng almost pulling him over the table.

“Oh come on please, please pay me I’ll make it worth your while!” The blonde then remembering Tseng was his boss he let him go.

Tseng sighed. “Alright the mission will be paid but only half.” He relented.

With out thinking M’adoc reached over the desk grabbing Tseng by his jacket and kissing him on the mouth.

“I think I love you sir!” He then ran out the door before Tseng could change his mind.

While walking down the hall he paused.

“Shit I kissed my boss!” He went back to his friends and sat between the rookie and Ezekiel on the couch he put his arm around Haldane stroking the soft hair at the back of his neck while he leered at Ezekiel.

“So padre how bout that blowjob?”

~*~*~*~

Tseng let out a sigh he stood up moving to the door and he looked round the corner finding Clover leaning up against the wall.

“The intel you provided was useful to say the least.” Tseng remarked to the blonde leaning there.

“I figured it would be. What’s going to happen to Quinn?” Clover asked.

“I know Quinn is planning to transfuse Sephiroth in to his body, but I fear…” Tseng trailed off.

“Zack is getting sympathetic towards Sephiroth like a hostage victim falling in love with her captor.” Clover finished.

Tseng nodded his head slowly. “And your health Clover?”

“Ezekiel is looking in to it.” Clover pushed himself up from the wall.

“That ten percent anomaly in your blood.” Tseng began and the blonde stopped. “Do you know what it is?”

“Fraid not.” Clover replied shoving his hands in to his jacket pockets. “You want me I’ll be with Walker.”

Tseng watched Clover turn round the corner and he heard the blonde start singing annoyingly again.

“I needed someone and now we’re flying through the stars, I hope this night will last forever… Wo Woo Wooo ohhh!

“Ain’t nobody… loves me better, makies me happy, makes me feel this way!”

Tseng let out a sigh moving back in to his office. Clover the perfect spy able to fool everyone amongst his joking attitude, even Reno didn’t know that Clover was watching everyone inside the Turks in case any one of them slipped from their duties. The only problem is Tseng had no one to watch the young blonde.

~*~*~*~

That night…

Yuffie stretched her arms above her head looking at Vincent as he walked beside her. “So you’re going to come in for a drink right?”

“It’s probably best that I don’t.” Vincent stated.

Yuffie sighed. “Are you doing another mission for Tseng?”

“I’ve done all they required of me... for now. I’m just out for a walk.” Vincent replied.

“You’re meeting with Shelke again aren’t you?” Yuffie turned round walking backwards grinning up at the vampire in red.

“Perhaps.” Vincent replied.

Yuffie smiled. “That’s good. She seems like she feels she has to exclude herself from our activities. Let her know she doesn’t have to.”

“I will tell her that.” Vincent looked up at the darkened sky.

Yuffie stopped walking and she looked up. “What are you looking at?”

“The moon is the same as that night.” Vincent spoke.

Yuffie looked at Vincent then to the moon and she blinked. “What night we’ve had a lot of nights.” She stopped seeing as Vincent leapt up to the building top. “VINCENT! HEY!”

Yuffie stopped seeing a figure dash across the roof tops and stopped in front of Vincent her small frame looking up at the man in red.

Yuffie smiled as she caught Shelke’s eyes and she walked with Vincent across the roof tops.

“She’s so crushing on you Vinnie… shame you don’t see it to well…” Yuffie turned round making her way to Seventh Heaven, word was out Zack had finally said no to going out on Tseng’s whims, so this was a means to celebrate the sooner they broke that SOLDIER training and turned it round to AVALANCHE mind set the better. It hurt her going round seeing Cloud moping by the window waiting for Zack to return.

“Cloud… he’s alive isn’t that reason enough for you to smile. Even if he is a great big muscle headed jerk who made me cry.” She grumbled to herself. “What type of guy makes a little girl cry?” She let out a huff walking past a tall long haired blonde in navy blue, she didn’t even acknowledge the man until he spoke.

“Hey honey could you doing me a huge favor?”

His arms slung round her shoulder. “RAP-” Yuffie began to scream but the blonde quickly covered her mouth with his hand

“Shush relax cutie pie. I’m wanting to find Seventh heaven, do you know were it is? I’m lost and I have to get their pronto.”

Yuffie saw the pale blue shirt the navy blue suit and she frowned. “Oh no another damn Turk doesn’t Tseng get tired of throwing you all at us?” She asked. He just shrugged. “Okay come with me I’m heading there now.” She sighed. “My name is Yuffie by the way.”

“Ahh I see an avalanche member lead the way I’m M’adoc.” He bowed holding out his arm for her to lead the way.

“Your name sounds funny I don’t like it.” Yuffie turned up her nose walking in front of him. “Oh and one more thing don’t watch my butt. You Turks are turning out to be real perverts.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it.” He muttered shoving his hands in his pockets following her. But despite his words she could feel his eyes lower to her rear covered in tan shorts.

“Oiy I know your looking!” Yuffie snapped. She let out a breath just her luck a nice walk with Vincent was cut off and ruined by a Turk.

~*~*~*~

Reno sat at the bar with his head in his hand as Tifa poured him another drink.

“Reno are you okay?”

Reno knocked the drink back fast. “Fine.” He remarked.

“We’re just here to guard Zack.” Rude spoke.

“Guard or report his actions back to Tseng?” Tifa challenged.

Reno looked over seeing Zack talking to Cloud in a booth the over emphasis in his gestures showed that he was probably trying to defend his actions.

“We want this over as much as you do yo.” Reno whispered.

Tifa let out a sigh. “I know. I just wish… Tseng would stop throwing people at-” She stopped as the door opened.

Yuffie walked in and Tifa smiled at the young woman. It was then a blonde dressed in navy blue followed and she blinked seeing the uniform.

“Friends of yours?” She whispered to Reno and Rude.

Reno looked over his shoulder and blinked. “M’adoc… has Tseng lost his mind?” He hissed.

“Is that good or bad?” Tifa whispered.

“That depends on the mission.” Rude replied.

Tifa frowned, she watched as Zack moved from where was up to the Turk the two looking at each other staring each other down for that brief moment.

“You’re on the wrong turf Turk.” Zack warned.

“Well now pointy, that would have worked if Rude and Reno weren’t in here, but nice try I congratulate you.” The blonde grinned.

Zack just shrugged and Tifa watched the exchange change to one of a more friendly atmosphere.

“Yeah I just have been dying to say that since I met you, but welcome to seventh heaven, what can I do for you?” Zack asked taking on his usual friendly tone.

Tifa let out a breath, okay Zack’s action and interactions with the Turks showed her which Turks she would serve and who she would give the boot to. She could serve the blonde at least.

Zack looked at M’adoc, wondering why the blonde was in the bar and he blinked seeing the ankle length hair now stopped a couple of inches past M’adoc’s collar bone.

‘What in the name of Hades happened to his hair?’ Zack thought blinking.

“Well now bub, there’s a lot of things you could do for me, none of which should be done in public.” M’adoc leered taking Zack aback a bit.

‘Wait isn’t this guy supposed to be hitting on women?’ Zack thought worriedly. Suddenly he didn’t like this situation at all.

“I have been sent here to give you a present from Tseng.” M’adoc remarked.

“And that would be?” Zack asked wearily not liking the look in the blonde’s red orange eyes.

Cloud watched the exchange between the new Turk on the scene and Zack. Frowning he watched as the blonde with his hands still in his pockets lean over slowly relishing the panic he saw in Zack’s bright blue depths, and kissed Zack right on the mouth, nothing touched but their lips and the kiss was far from innocent.

Cloud’s hand clutched at his side angrily at the intruder.

‘How dare he! What the hell is Tseng up to?’ Cloud went to step forward and he was grabbed by Rude and he looked to the bald dark skinned man.

Rude shook his head. “That’s the mission. We can not interfere.”

Reno let out a breath and Cloud looked at Reno. “Because you couldn’t.”

“I’m sorry yo.” Reno mumbled. “I drank more than I intended to.”

Zack could feel an insistent tongue thrust in his mouth to tangle around his.

‘Oooh-kay my day just couldn’t get worse could it?’ He thought to himself.

‘Trust me it will…’ Sephiroth seemed to purr.

Then for some stupid reason his eyes closed and he kissed the blonde back, he felt the gloved hand of Sephiroth move over the back of his neck and over his cheek to his face, over the scar then down the front of his neck, hand moving to dive under the zipped up sleeveless turtle neck he wore.

‘Seph don’t!’ Zack thought panicked.

Hadn’t his body had enough sex for a life time?

M’adoc liked how the ex soldier responded to him but felt it was best he stopped before it went too far. He broke the kiss making sure the others could see a bit of tongue minutely before he rocked back on his heels his mouth curling into a sexy grin.

“Well now best stop because of the children.” he said nodding to Reno who was guzzling back beer as fast as he could throw it.

Zack just stood there. “…….”

“That’s how I like it. Making a person speechless it’s a gift I tell you. Anyway Tseng has sent me to be your next lay since our lovable red head fucked up.” M’adoc jerked a thumb at a scowling Reno. “I’ll sex you up so good that you won’t have a single strand of silver in your hair, it’s a promise.” M’adoc then patted Zack’s cheek and made it to the bar, trying unsuccessfully to look down the bartenders top.

“I’d like the strongest whiskey you have, thank you princess.” M’adoc purred ignoring a glowering blonde that he assumed was Cloud.

“My name is Tifa and you won’t get anything by talking to my chest.” She shook her head placing hands on her hips.

M’adoc held up his hands in a peace offer, she sighed and got his drink.

~*~*~*~

Several beers later Zack was sitting in a booth with Cloud.

“I don’t like this Zack.” Cloud whispered looking over at the Turk who sat next to Rude at the bar. Drink in hand, sipping it his red orange eyes lingering over them.

“I know Cloudy. If I can get a hold of Genesis somehow… This wouldn’t need to keep happening.” Zack whispered back.

“Well he doesn’t seem to keep a phone on him like normal former SOLDIER’s.” Cloud mumbled.

Zack let out a sigh. “I can’t just sit around and wait either… seriously it’s too much what if Sephiroth comes out tomorrow, you and Tifa are in danger. I don’t want to hurt either of you like that.” He looked down.

Cloud looked at Zack his expression grim. “No matter what happens, we know it’s not you hurting us. It’s him.”

Zack picked up his beer and he knocked it back, his eyes moving to M’adoc. “I know.”

“You don’t have to do this Zack.” Cloud shook his head seeing Zack looking at the blonde.

Zack sighed Cloud knew the sound, it was the sigh of defeat.

M’adoc decided it was time for work, he had left Zack to digest what was inevitable but thought it was best while it was still early to start it, the blue eyed bombshell would be up all night. He patted the altered cure materia he got from Ezekiel in his pocket, before the night was through Zack would be needing it a few times.

Zack glanced at the blonde from the corner of his eyes barely listening to Cloud who sat next to him.

“Zack your not seriously going to go through with it are you?” Cloud touched Zack’s arm getting the older mans attention.

“It seems Tseng is giving me no choice and I can’t use you again Cloudy, I refuse to take more energy off you.” He then grinned before ruffling Cloud’s spikes up more. “Are you jealous?” He joked.

“No I’m not!” Cloud snapped. “Be serious Zack this thing has gone on long enough.” He grumbled blushing a little.

“I know what I’m doing Cloudy, just trust me okay?” Zack took a sip of his drink watching as the very tall Turk came over to him.

“Fine but be careful I don’t trust this one.” Cloud patted Zack’s shoulder giving M’adoc a ‘hurt him and I’ll kill you’ look before joining Tifa at the bar.

M’adoc stood over Zack smiling at the younger man, Cloud’s glare hadn’t gone un-noticed, he knew that look it was the protective lover look, there was more than what he thought going on between the blonde and Zack.

“Well now, are you ready to go pointy? I don’t want to be keeping these lovely people awake with your passionate cries all night long aye?” M’adoc smirked at Zack’s slight blush.

“Don’t you ever quit?” Zack asked aspirated, running a hand through his hair.

“It’s even better when I get paid to do this.” M’adoc grinned.

Zack slammed his cup down. “Are you serious? That’s not fair! I want to get paid, they owe me it!”

“Well I’m sure I could ask Rufus nicely for you, I’m sure he won’t mind giving you money for being serviced.” M’adoc laughed as Zack blanched.

“Um never mind.” Zack clapped his hands together tilting his head to the side looking puppy like, begging that M’adoc would not bring the issue up with Rufus.

‘Cute, his puppy nickname suits him well.’ The blond thought.

“Okay puppy lets go, I’ve rented a hotel room for the night. I thought neutral ground would be a good idea for our long, long, LONG night of passion ahead of us.” M’adoc drew out looking at Zack.

Zack squirmed in his seat. ‘Damn how did I get myself into this mess?’ He thought.

‘You let Hojo experiment on you.’ Sephiroth replied.

‘I wasn’t asking you.’ Zack mentally grumbled at the former General.
