“Zack,” Cloud whispered while tangling his hands in raven hair as the others lips trailed up and down his neck. This was what he had been craving for a week, this is what he had wanted again ever since Zack had left his apartment that morning. And no matter how “wrong” it was morally, he could honestly say that he didn’t care at this moment. Because the way Zack could make him feel was indescribable. Both physically and mentally, there was just something that Zack could trigger within him. He couldn’t place his finger on it, but one thing was for sure and he wasn’t willing to let that go.
So he was giving in to his desires again. Drowning in the absolute bliss of Zack’s hands roaming over his body, every kiss that was pressed against his skin. To hell with caution, that didn’t matter here. No, not anymore. He had decided when he came back here that he wasn’t going to follow his mind, but rather his heart. Whether or not that was a dangerous choice he supposed he would find out later. But despite what the outcome was, he didn’t regret coming back here…

“Cloud? What’s wrong did you forget something?”
“Yeah,” Cloud began while taking a step forward and wrapping his arms around Zack, “You.”
There was a thick silence that fell over the two as the blonde kept his arms wound tightly around the other. He kept his eyes closed while resting the side of his face against Zack’s chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. It felt so nice to hold him again, to be close to him like this. Even if Zack hadn’t exactly returned the embraced…even though he hoped he might. But he could understand, Zack’s confusion. He didn’t want him to think he was toying with his emotions. He honestly didn’t mean to, and he was hating himself for that. That’s why when he had left just now he only got a block away before turning right back around. He didn’t need time to think, he didn’t want anymore time away from Zack.
Squeezing tighter Cloud finally looked up. He was curious what was running through Zack’s mind seeing as he had remained pretty still and quiet. And he was surprised to see Zack just staring down at him, though the look in his eyes was a bit unclear to the blonde.
Maybe…this was a mistake? Maybe Zack just wanted to be done with this for the evening and here he came running back.
“Should I…not have come back?” Cloud asked while gently letting go of the man and taking a small step back. He suddenly felt really insecure if not just a bit stupid really.
Feeling a few drops of water splatter on his face he lifted a hand to gently wipe it away and peered up curiously. It looked like it was beginning to rain suddenly, not even bothering to start out with the usual sprinkles.
“Come here, come inside,” Zack suddenly spoke up softly before reaching out and grasping the boys hand to drag him away from the rain. He pulled him in before closing the door quietly behind him. In a second he had turned around and was facing wide blue eyes. Cloud had just stepped in enough to be inside but hadn’t ventured much further into the place and was practically right in front of Zack.
With the close proximity Zack really didn’t have a choice but to look into the blonde’s eyes. One of the features about Cloud that was the SOLDIERS utter weakness. He could see the questioning almost anxious look lingering in those bright blue eyes and he had to look away briefly.
He knew that he was losing his resolve. And while he wanted nothing more than to be happy that Cloud had came back…that he said he came back for “him”, he couldn’t help but have a guilty conscious. He didn’t know what was going through Cloud’s mind, even though they had spoke earlier, Cloud was still conflicted…still confused. Wasn’t he? And would it be right to take advantage of his confusion?
“Cloud,” Zack began with a sigh before running his hands through his hair. Damn did this kid know what he was doing to him? Never had he been so enthralled with someone and angry at the same time. Angry only because it was like being tempted with something that he wasn’t sure could entirely be his. “I thought…you had a lot to think about. You shouldn’t say things like this,” he finally explained while shutting his eyes for a moment.
“I’m saying it because it’s true though,” Cloud spoke in a tone barely above a whisper. “I told myself I needed time to think but…I really don’t.”
Opening his eyes Zack let his gaze fall on the blonde who was now looking to the floor. Was it possible that…this was the truth? If Cloud in fact didn’t want to have anything to do with him he wouldn’t have even bothered with coming by at all tonight. Let alone coming back to admit this to him. Perhaps what he had told him earlier was more true than he had realized. Maybe Squall…wasn’t even any competition?
“I,” Zack started while catching Cloud’s attention, “I just…I don’t know. I mean you know how I feel about you but I don’t want you to…” He trailed off while searching for the right words he wanted to speak before Cloud was taking a step closer.
“Zack?” The blonde asked softly while gently placing his hand on the others arm, silently urging him to continue.
From just that small touch Zack sucked in a breath before continuing on, “I’m trying to respect this…situation. And I’m holding myself back but…that’s hard to do when I see you.”
He had barely just spoken those last words before he felt soft lips over his own. However he didn’t have a chance to react to it seeing as it was over just as quick as it had started.
“Why?” Cloud asked softly, his lips still just inches away from Zacks. His hand was now moving on its own and was lightly caressing Zack’s bare chest. “Why are you holding yourself back?”
Whether or not he really wanted an answer Zack wasn’t sure because he didn’t give him any time to do so before Cloud was leaning in to kiss him again. However this time it wasn’t as brief.
“I’m here aren’t I?” Cloud asked once they had broke apart, “if I didn’t care would I be?” Moving his arms he encircled the SOLDIER’s neck, “how much more clear can I make it?”
Looking into blue eyes Zack could only see sincerity there. And what Cloud said made sense. There was no doubt in Zack’s mind that Cloud had feelings for him, he knew that…so what reason did he have to feel guilty about any of this? Because technically he was Squall’s boyfriend? He wouldn’t feel bad about that, not anymore. Because obviously there was something that Squall was lacking. No matter how bad that sounded, it was how he felt. And if Cloud found that in him, then he wouldn’t complain.
Not hesitating any longer he leaned in to capture the students lips in a searing kiss gaining a small moan from the other. Something about all of this just felt so right and he couldn’t deny it. And if Cloud didn’t want him to hold back, then he wouldn’t any longer…

Cloud’s shirt was hastily cast aside as Zack began his assault of kisses downwards. It didn’t seem to take them long to make their way back to Zack’s room actually after the blonde had came back. Once they had just given in and melted into each other the passion just seemed to take hold and direct from there. And so here they were now lying on Zack’s bed and completely indulging in one another. There was something different about this time then from a week ago however. Maybe because there was a newfound feeling that they shared between them. Not just a lust but a deeper connection that was bringing them together. Whatever it may have been, it was nice.
Moving back up the blonde’s torso Zack swiped his tongue over a pert nipple. Cloud let out a gasp and clenched his hand in the others hair before arching his back slightly.
It looked like that move had caused a strong reaction from the younger one beneath him and he repeated the action a few more times. A moan escaped Cloud as he bit his bottom lip before letting his eyes fall shut.
Zack’s heartbeat seemed to sped up from the sounds that Cloud was making. There was something so erotic about them and it affected him every time. And he was enjoying exploring his body, finding out where he liked to be touch so that he could illicit more of those sounds from him. Unlike before, he was taking his time. Not that he didn’t the last encounter but…there was something else to it now.
Maybe for the fact that he wanted to please Cloud thoroughly. To make him feel like he never had before. So that he would realize that Zack was the one that he needed. That he was all that he needed. That he could satisfy him in everyway, so that Squall wouldn’t even be thought of. He wanted Cloud to know that he was better than his current boyfriend, and maybe he was being childish in his reasoning. Trying to prove his worth in some way, but…that’s how he felt. Because he knew one thing for sure and it was that he couldn’t share Cloud. Just that thought alone upset him. And for a fleeting moment he wondered if Cloud and Squall had slept together that week that he and Cloud were apart. But he quickly dismissed it, he didn’t want to think of that now…not ever actually.
The blonde’s small hands running down his back caused a pleasant shiver to run through Zack before he was leaning in for another heated kiss. Their tongues dueled in a battle of dominance, one that Cloud quickly gave up on. Though he rather preferred it that way. Instead he followed the others lead as he ran his tongue along the caverns of Zack’s mouth, lightly licking at his lips when they would part before the SOLDIER would gently catch his bottom lip within his own. Even their kissing was passionate and sensual. Almost as if it had gotten even better if that were possible, and they could easily get caught up just in that alone.
But then their night eventually quieted down. How long it was exactly was anyone’s guess. The heavy breathing, panting, along with moans of pleasure slowly drifted from the room as they lay entangled together. Sleep was quickly overtaking them now, but before Cloud could completely fall asleep he couldn’t help but to think that there was something about calling out Zack’s name that just sounded so…right.

‘No that’s no good’,” Cloud thought to himself with a frown before deleting the last sentence that he had just typed on his laptop. He was working on a paper for his class and seemed to keep typing up garbage. It was pretty irritating actually, in most cases he was usually pretty good at writing reports and such but tonight he just couldn’t grasp it. Though, it was maybe his own fault however. He had procrastinated and only started typing it the day before it was due. So surely that added stress was making this an even more difficult task. That and…
“Cloud you need to go grocery shopping,” Squall said from the kitchen while closing the fridge door.
“Hm?” Cloud asked only half listening as he kept his eyes glued to the computer screen.
“Grocery shopping,” Squall said again while walking into the living room and gazing levelly at his boyfriend. “Your mom isn’t here to do it for you anymore ya know.”
“I know, I know. I‘ll get around to it.” Cloud replied with a wave of his hand.
Sighing Squall moved towards the couch and sat a few inches away from Cloud. “I worry about you sometimes,” he simply spoke while grabbing the remote and flicking on the television.
Remaining silent for a minute he raised a brow, “what’s that mean?”
“Just that,” Squall answered while keeping his eyes on the television, “I mean since you moved here anyways. I guess because I can‘t be around all the time like before.” he finished while finally turning his gaze to look into blue. “So what? Since there’s nothing here to eat I’ll order out. What do you want?”
‘Since I moved here,’ the blonde thought to himself before turning to look back at his computer. He knew Squall wasn’t really thrilled when he had moved into his apartment at the start of the last semester. They used to live like five minutes from each other, now they were on opposite ends of the city. And Squall, as over protective as he was at times didn’t like the fact of Cloud moving away by himself in “the big city.” But he was perfectly capable of living alone, even if he did maybe forget minor things like…well, groceries.
“Whatever is fine,” Cloud finally replied while looking back at the screen.
“Ok,” Squall started while reaching over to the phone that was on the end table, “pizza it is.”
Pizza? No, now that Cloud thought about it he didn’t want that.
“Uh, maybe Wutainese?” He asked hopefully while glancing to Squall who already had the phone up to his ear.
“I know, that’s what I’m getting,” he replied with a smile.
Cloud couldn’t help but to let out a laugh while shaking his head. That shouldn’t even surprise him anymore, Squall seemed to know him better than he knew himself at times. It was sort of cool, but scary at the same time. Though when you knew someone for as long as they had, he supposed it was only natural. It wasn’t that they had been together as a couple for that long, but they were friends before that.
They waited for the take out to get there and the blonde continued with his paper while Squall sat there comfortably watching television. Even if Cloud wasn’t working on his assignment they might just both be sitting there in silence watching television or something, it wasn’t unusual. In fact they could sit together in silence and feel completely comfortable. Maybe it was one of those things in a relationship that meant you were at a good spot and didn’t need to always converse. Though, Cloud couldn’t exactly say that this time. Even though he was trying to focus on his work his mind just kept churning with other thoughts. And with Squall right beside him it was making it even more difficult.
It had been about two weeks since he had went back to Zack’s that night, and within that time they saw each other numerous times and they had spoken every day on the phone. In fact Cloud had even text him during a whole class lecture just the day before. Apparently Zack was stuck doing some boring paperwork, and Cloud didn’t feel like listening to his professor so…it had worked out.
They talked about anything and everything for those past couple of weeks, and would be on the phone for hours. It was sort of strange, Cloud didn’t think there would be so much stuff to talk about. But the conversations never got dull and there was never any awkward silence. And with each conversation they would learn more about each other, making them even more interested.
Cloud was enjoying finding out more and more about Zack, and the more he knew the more he felt closer to him. Like he had discovered that Zack sometimes spoke in his sleep. Just small words or mumbles, but it was cute in the blonde’s opinion and he would always cuddle up closer. And Zack had found out that Cloud didn’t like it to be too dark when he went to sleep. That he hadn’t really admitted to the SOLDIER but Zack easily picked up on it noticing how Cloud would always slightly open the curtains to let in some of the dim moonlight. But he pretended to act unaware of it.
They wanted to see each other again but had put it off until after Cloud had finished the current paper he was working on. So actually they could see each other tomorrow if they wanted.
A smile began to creep across the blonde’s face but he quickly wiped it away. Letting out a sigh he tapped the side of the keyboard, what the hell was he writing? It wasn’t making any sense! He couldn’t concentrate, his nerves were to on end with Squall there. Honestly he didn’t even plan on seeing him now, he had just dropped by. And even though Cloud told him he had a paper to work on he didn’t seem affected by it and just volunteered to hang around.
If this had been a few weeks ago he would’ve been thrilled but now…he just didn’t know, it was weird. After all Squall was totally oblivious about he and Zack. That thought made Cloud’s heart ache. He still felt like a jerk for all of this. And even though despite what was going on with Zack he could still truly and honestly say that he cared for Squall. That was the reason why he still couldn’t bring himself to tell him anything. How could he hurt him like that? He didn’t deserve it. To know that he broke his heart…Cloud didn’t think he could handle that, live with that.
He barely heard the knock in the background and the sound of Squall moving away from the couch. But within a few minutes Squall was back at the couch after having set the bags of take out on the table.
“Ok, time for a break,” his boyfriend began while making a move to act like he was shutting the laptop closed.
“Don’t you dare! It’s not saved,” Cloud snapped while playfully jabbing the other in the arm.
Squall let out a small chuckle before leaning in and kissing the blonde on the cheek. “Well save it and let’s eat.”
Sighing Cloud shook his head. He wasn’t satisfied at what he had at all, and if he kept up at this rate he was going to be handing in an incomplete paper. And then he would be handed back an F…he didn’t want that.
“I’ll eat later, I really need to get this done,” he spoke quietly while beginning to type again.
“Later? How long have you been at this?” Squall asked curiously while looking down to the screen.
“A couple hours…I just can’t concentrate,” he admitted while leaning back further into the couch.
“Oh?” Squall began while turning concerned gray-blue eyes towards the other. “Got something on your mind?”
Cloud felt his heart thud against his chest at those words and he swallowed thickly. Shiva if only he knew.
“No,” he quickly lied, “just…stress, I guess.” Maybe that part was true.
“Well you said you’ve been at it for hours. I think you need to just take a break, walk away from it for a few and then come back to it. Don’t try to push yourself,” Squall explained while gently running his fingers through golden spikes.
“It’s better just to get it out of the way,” Cloud answered determinedly.
“Cloud,” Squall began while narrowing his eyes slightly. He was trying to cut through his boyfriends stubbornness. Which sometimes proved hard to do. Giving a bit of a sigh he leaned in and pecked another kiss on his cheek before pressing a few against his ear and lightly licking at his earlobe.
“Squall,” the blonde started while tilting his head from the ticklish sensation, “I’m trying to work.”
“Work then,” Squall replied while moving down and placing a kiss at the base of his boyfriends neck and making his way up.
Squirming a bit the blonde readjusted his laptop before placing a hand on Squall’s shoulder. “It’s sort of hard to do with you doing that.”
“Hm,” the other mused while pulling back briefly and giving a smirk, “then don’t work,” he finished before leaning in and capturing the smaller one’s lips.
Cloud’s breath caught in his throat and his hands remained planted on the sides of his laptop. But within a minute his boyfriend was moving to take it off of his lap and set it gently on the coffee table. He barely had time to react before Squall’s lips were back over his own, lightly licking as if asking permission to enter.
With a hesitant parting of his mouth the other’s tongue immediately slipped in causing a soft moan to escape from him.
‘What am I doing?’ Cloud thought silently to himself before pulling away and placing a hand on Squall’s chest.
“Stop distracting me,” he began with a smile, hoping to easily slide out of this situation in a joking manner.
“A little distraction is good,” Squall began softly while taking the blonde’s hand that was against his chest within his.
Maybe he couldn’t just “slide” out of this situation after all. From the look he was getting and the gentleness that was now present he was sure that his boyfriend wasn’t going to back off.
And it seemed as though his thoughts were right seeing as how Squall had leaned in for another kiss, this time deepening it upon contact. He let go of Cloud’s hand, letting one hand rest against his cheek as his arm wrapped around his waist.
The blonde didn’t know what else he could do except for wrap his arms around his boyfriends neck and press harder into the kiss. He couldn’t deny Squall this, after all in Squall’s mind there was nothing to worry about.
Within a minute Squall had Cloud pinned beneath him on the couch, lightly sneaking his hand up the boys shirt and gently caressing the soft skin on his side.
How far was he willing to go? As of now Cloud had kept Squall blissfully ignorant about everything. Still was practically treating things the same, though they hadn’t gotten caught up in an intimate encounter like this since he had been with Zack again. And now that it looked like things were heating up…what was he supposed to do?
Squeezing his eyes closed he ran a hand through Squall’s soft locks. The sense of familiarity from there kisses to his boyfriend’s soft touches was beginning to consume him. It was what he knew, not terrible in the slightest, but…it wasn’t Zack.
“I love you,” Squall suddenly mumbled against the blonde’s neck causing him to blearily open his eyes.
What did he just say? Cloud’s fingers stopped stroking the others hair as he sucked in a breath. It wasn’t that he hadn’t heard it before but…Squall just didn’t say it often. Especially just…like that. He would if Cloud was like in a down mood or something, along with showering him with affection. Or just if the mood was right. And he probably only said it a few times after they made love. But other than that it was just a given. Though it never really bothered Cloud, he knew Squall just wasn’t good with that type of stuff. And yet, here he was saying it to him now. Why? Why now!? It was almost as if this was some cruel punishment from whatever gods above to make the blonde feel wholly and utterly terrible about himself.
“Squall,” Cloud began softly as his boyfriend continued to kiss his neck. Those three words seemed to still be lingering about, and he knew that he should respond back but…how contradicting would that be? To say I love you knowing that you weren’t giving your whole self to that person. Wouldn’t it be like a slap to their face?
However he guessed he wouldn’t have to say anything on the matter because it seemed like Squall was ready to continue on, both of his hands pushing up the other’s shirt. A small whimper escaped from Cloud before Squall was trailing his hands across the others abdomen.
Leaning back down he pressed a soft kiss to the student’s lips before pulling back slightly and peering into bright blue eyes. He held the gaze as he searched his boyfriend’s eyes that seemed to be holding an uncertain look. Maybe Cloud didn’t know it but his eyes were a clear window to his soul, and Squall had looked into them enough times before to be able to understand that. And right now they seemed to be a bit clouded. Almost a disconnected look of sorts. But he wasn’t sure if that was because his mind was so occupied of his schoolwork, or if…

“Damn that was a long fucking day,” Reno began while quickly pulling out his pack of cigarettes and popping one into his mouth.
“Yeah,” Squall replied as they walked down the street, leaving the building of their workplace. The streetlights had just started to kick on lighting the semi darkened path as a few cars passed by on the street.
“So, we should do something tonight yo,” Reno began with an exhale of smoke, “I don’t feel like sitting inside all night.”
“Like?” Squall questioned while shifting his gaze to the redhead.
“Let’s go to a bar, get wasted! Perfect way to welcome the weekend!” Reno exclaimed with a grin.
With a shake of his head the brunette waved his hand, “pass,” he started, “it would be fun for you but not for me seeing as how I would be the one dragging you back home.”
“Aww!” Reno whined while kicking at an empty bottle on the sidewalk, “what you trying to brush me off for blondie yo?”
“No, he’s got some exams coming up so he insists that he studies,” Squall explained while turning to look at the other, “why don’t you go with Zack, that’s usually who you go with.”
“Yeah well he’s got plans already,” Reno replied while taking another drag of his cigarette, “he’s been occupied for a while actually.”
“Work?” Squall asked while looking back ahead.
Letting a sly smirk spread across his face he nodded, “of some sort I guess.”
“What, what do you mean?”
“I think he’s seeing someone,” Reno simply replied with a shrug.
Squall nodded but Reno continued on.
“He blew me off like two nights ago actually. Said something suddenly came up,” he explained before giving a sarcastic laugh.
“Really?” Squall asked while turning back to the other.
“Yeah, remember that night when you were supposed to go out with Cloud? It was then,” Reno continued before tossing his used up cigarette on the ground, “what happened with that anyways?”
“Oh he said he wasn’t feeling too well and just wanted to rest,” Squall answered while shoving his hands into his pockets.
Reno remained silent for a moment while looking up in thought and then a smirk appeared on his face.
“Right,” he began with a slight nod before turning green eyes back onto his friend. “Coincidence?”
“What?” Squall asked while giving the other a strange look.
“Just wondering yo,” Reno continued, “I mean isn’t weird that every time Cloud is busy so is Zack and vice versa?”
What the hell? Squall was aware that his friend could be a real idiot at times but seriously? That wasn’t the kind of stuff you joked around about. Then again Reno’s humor was always a bit…different.
“Reno,” he started a bit annoyed, “shut up.”
“What? I’m just saying it’s sort of weird,” Reno snapped back.
“Just because they are both unavailable at the same time doesn’t mean anything. They don’t even know each other,” Squall quickly snapped back.
“Bull shit!” Reno said with a laugh, “yes they do, they met at the club that night we told you that.”
“Maybe,” Squall began while coming to a stop at the crosswalk, “but Cloud was drunk he doesn’t even remember talking to Zack.”
“Well, he remembers enough. After all he start babbling to Zack about something that time when we were all at the restaurant,” Reno began casually while hitting the signal button on the crosswalk repeatedly.
“Babbling?” Squall asked. What the hell was Reno going on about? In most cases he would just tune him out, but now that he had brought up such a touchy topic Squall just had to know his logic for it all.
“Yeah, when you got that phone call and left,” Reno started while looking back to Squall with a shrug, “I don’t know what the fuck it was about yo. But it was a strange conversation. Something about him being sorry and then Zack said some stuff, I don’t remember it all. But I guess Cloud had more he wanted to say cause he asked me if I could tell him where Zack lived.”
Sorry? What reason would Cloud have to apologize to Zack for? Maybe that night when he met him at the club, maybe he was just apologizing for acting a certain way cause he was drunk. Yeah, that had to have been it.
“At first I wasn’t going to give it to him, I mean it wasn’t my problem whatever had happened. But the kid seemed damn anxious to get it, and I didn’t want him to start crying on me or anything,” Reno continued just as the walk signal changed green and they proceeded to cross the street.
If Reno was being honest…and he was pretty sure he was about this, why would Cloud have done that? That part… he didn’t really understand.

“Squall?” Cloud asked while gently placing his hand on the side of his boyfriends face. He seemed to just have completely zoned out and hadn’t even blinked in that time. “You okay?”
Shaking his head briefly he closed his eyes. No, no he wasn’t going to let his friends dumb ass suspicions make him all paranoid. Reno didn’t know Cloud, so of course he could easily make assumptions. It didn’t mean they were valid, just theories that the redhead had pieced together in his spare more than likely drunken time.
“Yeah, sorry,” he replied while opening his eyes and giving a small smile before kissing the blonde again. “Everything’s fine.”

A/N: And another chapter! I think I'll complete this fic with one more chapter, possibly two. But yea it's not going to be long. Anyways I wanted to sort of focus this chapter on Squall and Cloud and their relationship...or well, whatever you want to call it! Just so there is a better view on how those two are together. So yeah Reno has sort of brought things to light, even if Squall is in denial at the moment. Hmm, Cloud seems to be spinning a huge web of lies, lol. Thanks for the reviews everyone and for supporting this fic! I love you guys! See you next update!
