Midgar Thearter 5002 and 3/4

Make Me Feel:

Reno: Make... me... feel a bar?
Rude: No. No more, it’s not nice, it’s horrible... IT HURTS MOMMY!
Elena: Shut up Rude, you’re suppose to be the quite one.

>Diclaimer: As much as I wished I owned Vincent, Cloud, and the rest of the
>FF7 gang, I don't. They belong to Squaresoft and are merely being used in a
>demented way to get this idea out of my head.

Reno: Thanks, I think?
Rude: How many times must we tell everyone, Elena was auctioned off to the highest bidder at the last Shin-Ra Christmas Party.
Elena: Don’t remind me about that LAST fiction we... MSTed, alright?
Reno: Me too... I’m still boiling my dick about that one.
Tseng: *On P.A.* That’s not water for soup?
Elena: Grooooooooooooooooooss...
Tseng: *On P.A.* Anyways, there are two lucky...
Cid: Fucking Lucky?
Tseng: *On P.A.* As... I was saying, there are two guest MSTers tonight. Vincent and Cid.
Vincent: Joy.
Cid: Fucking Turks!
Vincent: *pistol whips Cid*
Cid: What the fuck was that FOR?
Vincent: Ex-Turk!
Reno: Guys, the MST at hand please?
Rude: Too many of us in here! Can’t... breathe...

>A/N: This is my first yaoi attempt and it has a plot as well as some angst,
>so there's no NC-17 goodness just yet. Wait for Chapter 2 to get posted if you're
>that eager to read Cloud and Vincent get it on. Review please, lemme know just
>how good or bad I am with this story. Oh, and PessimisticPoet, thanks a million
>times over for answering that challenge I made. Miss Havok, I'm still waiting
>to see what you came up with. :P Well, on to the story now.

Reno: Thank you, finally!
Cid: Are we that eager to see man on man action?
Elena: I am!
Rude: Nobody asked you Elena.

>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>Midgar, Sector Two, Plate Level. Reeve gave Tifa the building for her new bar
>shortly after becoming Mayor as well as ShinRa president. Every night, business
Rude: How many people are insinuating that Rufus is DEAD? He’s just...
Reno: Incapacitated...
Rude: Exactly.
Elena: I don’t know what you guys just said, but he also very well hung.
Rude: ?
Reno: ?
Vincent: Taking the ‘making sure the president is comfortable’ a little too far Elena?
Cid: I’d say fuck yeah.
Elena: ...

>is great because people don't just come for the food and drinks, they come to get
>glimpses of those who saved the Planet from Meteor. Now, on the one year

Cid: What the fuck are we? A circus act?
Vincent: Must be...

>anniversary of that event, Vincent Valentine sits off in a corner, red cape hanging
>off of him and almost touching the floor, crimson eyes not really looking at anything
>as he sips a bottle of beer.

Vincent: Partial to bourbon myself...
Reno: What?
Rude: He’s an old Turk...
Vincent: Hell ya, and I can outdrink both of you.
Reno: I’ll remember that.
Elena: Reno, don’t be messing with Mako-infused monsters.
Vincent: Grr...

>The stronger stuff can be saved for those men at the bar
>talking about Tifa as she mixes them up, the dark-haired man is in no mood to get
>drunk.

Vincent: If I hang out with these creeps long enough, yes...

>Everyone else is celebrating the day by talking, laughing, and joking with
>others about how close death came, but not Vincent. Instead, he thinks about the
>things he did to atone for his mistakes and how little they've done to make him
>feel any better. True, he no longer feels guilt about not being able to stop Hojo

Vincent: *grabs head and screams* HOOOOJJJJOOOO!!!!!!!!
Reno: Shut him up! *Covers ears*

>from creating Sephiroth,

Cid: *screams* SEPHIROTH!!!!!Rude: Want me to shut him up?
Reno: Nah, he’ll run out of air sometime.
Vincent: Soon, I hope.

>but he doesn't feel happy and upbeat like the other patrons

Vincent: When do I ever?

>here. The door then opens and Tifa's surprised gasp lets everyone know that Cloud
>Strife has arrived.

Reno: Introducing Captain Oblivious!
Elena: Where?

>He walks in calmly, only a slight smile on his face as Tifa gives him a hug and
>kiss on the cheek. Most of the time, he'll return those gestures, but something

Reno: Dude, you had TWO women drooling all over you!
Rude: Yeah, I have to say I hate him.
Cid: As do I... as do I...
Vincent: You guys remember the parachuting stunt we did?
Reno: Yeah...
Elena: Yeah...
Vincent: Cid pushed Cloud out of the ship.
Elena: What’s so bad about that?
Cid: Elena, Vincent was holdin’ his parachute!

>seems to be weighing on his mind as well, so he almost brushes her off before
>spotting Vincent and crossing the room in a few long strides that cause his boots to
>clunk on the wooden floor. The spiky-haired one takes a seat next to his friend before

Elena: Spiky haired one... no brained one.
Reno: *announcer voice* The dark, mysterious one and the spiky haired one together again in... Make me Feel.
Rude: *punches Reno* Drop it, dude.

>ordering himself a beer as well.

>"Hey, Vince. Barret told me you looked kinda down lately, but I didn't know it

Vincent: You know, you don’t hear much about Barret or Rude or even Red in these fictions.
Cid: Hey, Vincent, if you could stomach it, I say we do a Barret/Rude yaoi.
Rude: WHAT?
Reno: I’d pay to see that.
Vincent: Man, I’d do it just to see Barret’s face...Cid: Before or after he kicks the shit out of us?


>until I saw you sitting here like there's some huge weight on your chest. Wanna
>talk about it?" he asks, concern for his raven-haired friend written all over his

Vincent: No. Now go away so I can work on my Barret/Rude fiction.
Cid: *Snicker*
Rude: *strange look* You can’t be serious?
Vincent: As serious as Cid and his Vincent/Red fiction...
Cid: Oh, shh! Nobody is suppose to know of that one!

>face and voice. Strangely, he carries no sword on his back anymore, a sign of how

Reno: A sign of the Turks going on strike... or vacation at Costa Del Sol...

>well the new ShinRa is getting at controlling the Mako problems that lead to the
>creation of monsters.

Reno: They are?
Rude: That means we are out of a job then?
Elena: No way...

>For a while, he doesn't answer as he sits and thinks about how best to explain
>what's going on inside his mind.

Vincent: Can I actually say what is in my mind?
Reno: No...
Vincent: That was a rhetorical question.
Elena: A what?

>He then looks up and turns towards his one time
>traveling companion. "I suppose the best way to say it is that I currently lack
>feelings. Hojo

Vincent: HOJO! *screams*
Reno: Again?
Cid: He does that all the time...

> and Sephiroth

Cid: SEPHIROTH! *screams*
Reno: Now they are screaming in unison...
Elena: Arg.
>are dead, I have earned my own forgiveness. I've also
>personally burned all of that scientist's works so that nobody else will ever be
>able to make another Sephiroth, or another me for that matter." Vincent's gaze then

Reno: By the sounds of upcoming A/C... too late.
Vincent: Don’t remind me. Wait, doesn’t Lucrecia come back as an angel to help me?
Elena: I don’t know...
Cid: Don’t give away spoilers.
Elena: YEAH! I’m not in the movie...
Rude: Because everyone hates you.
Elena: *sniffle* shut up, you have a good part in it!
Vincent: Even dead people have a better part in the movie than Elena...

>runs to his left arm, capable of moving and a small amount of sensation, but
>almost totally useless otherwise. "And before you ask, there's nothing you can do
>to help me out."

Vincent: Yeah, I’m on cloud nine, I mean, look at all of those fan girls I have outside... *opens window blind, several fangirls scream* See? *smiles then closes the window blind* They like this arm, do you know how many times its gotten me laid?
Reno: He’s got more than me!
Rude: You all have about ten times than me... *pout*
((Author: I love you Rude... I’m a member of the official Rude fan club!))

>Cloud blinks a few times after hearing those words, then lets his mind roam.
>There has to be something he can do, he hates seeing his friend like this, so empty
>and uncaring about things. What he does next is totally impulsive and unexpected,
>even to him.

Vincent: That’s me... there is no ‘not Vincent’ mood. *sulks*
Elena: *smiles*
Vincent: Not you too!

>One of his hands moves out to lift up the ex-Turk's chin and draw him closer,
>and then he lets his lips settle over the mouth of the other man. Vincent goes
>along with it out of reflex, lifts his right hand up, and lets it rest on the blond's
> cheek. The response to that is nuzzling, along with a slight deepening of the kiss.

Cid: I thought this was a Cid/Vincent fiction.
Tseng: *On P.A.* The first two chapters are Vincent/Cloud... the third chapter is Cid/Vincent...
Cid: Fuck that shit, I’m calling Cloud.
Reno: *grabs Cid’s hand* No. I draw the line at Cloud... now if you were going to invite Tifa or Yuffie...
Vincent: NO YUFFIE!
Reno: Then we’d be talking...
>Both mouths part and tongues brush against each other while the dark man allows
>himself to go along with it as long as his mind can pretend it's someone else on the
>other end. Then, a long-forgotten feeling stirs in his lower gut and he pulls away
>as if the touch burns him.

Cid: What the FUCK?
Vincent: I was told this was a Cid/Vincent...
Tseng: *On P.A* Told you Vincent...

Reno: Who is Vincent pretending it is on the other side of the kiss?
Vincent: Some random fan girl... *grin*
Elena: *swoon*
Vincent: Really, stop, you are scaring me Elena.
Rude: What does the other people think?
Elena: How CUTE!
Rude: She always fines yaoi so...cute.
Elena: It is....
Reno: Disturbing... and WRONG!

>"What was that all about, Cloud? If it was an attempt to stir physical feelings
>within me, then I won't comment if it was a success or not. However, I want
>emotions, not simple desire. And I don't believe that I want either of those in
>connection with you." Vincent then stands up and takes a few small steps
>towards the door.

Cid: In other words...
Reno: It worked.
Vincent: Last time I bring YOU two together, what is this? Tag team beat up on Vincent?
Cid: Yep, I got the memo, didn’t you get the memo?
Reno: Hell yeah...
Rude: You aren’t cheating on me are you Reno?
Reno: *Turns green*
Elena: I knew it!

>"Wait! Vince, don't walk away like that. It's not like I care about you as
>anything other than a friend, it's just that I thought you might want that, to just
>relax and forget about things for a while." The blond hangs his spiky head and

Reno: How can kissing another man be relaxing?
Rude: *Grabs Reno and kisses him*
Reno: *mumbles*
Elena: Live Action Yaoi Special!
Rude: *gasps for air.* Ah... that was oddly... good.
Reno: Ugh... *grabs for mouthwash and gargles* ...
>sighs loudly, regretting the action and only thinking that he hopes he hasn't earned
>any undying hatred as a result of it.

Cid: Cloud, you earned that already by even being in the same room as me.
Vincent: What an idiot he is.

>Whipping around once just before his steps take him to the doorway, his only
>reply is simple and almost brutal in its shortness. "As long as you keep it that
>way, Strife, I think I might be able to talk to you someday soon." On that note,
>Vincent walks down the steps and off into the distance.

Reno: That is so... so...
Vincent: Me?
Reno: Hell yeah.
Vincent: Now, don’t be getting all mushy on me too Reno.
Reno: Nah, we’ve just seen one too many Reno/Vincent yaoi.
Vincent: They make those?
Reno: Yeah... and the one I saw was pretty good.
Rude: Tent boy.
Reno: *smacks Rude*

>End of Chapter One

Elena: Good.
Rude: Yeah, two more chapters yet.

>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>A/N Please don't hate me for being mean to Cloud right now. I promise
>things will get a lot better for him the next time. I also promise lots of good
>Vincent angst.-CP

Rude: Why should we hate you for being mean to Cloud?
Reno: Nah, we love her!
Elena: *bowing to fiction writer* CUTE!
Vincent: I’d be mean to Cloud, if he tried to kiss me like that, I’d bite his tongue...
Cid: You’ve thought this out, haven’t you?
Vincent: Uh... no?
