Zack Fair's Hentai Life

Times had changed for Zack. Both Angeal and Genesis were gone from his life, leaving a gaping hole of nothingness. Kunsel had found someone new, an eager young SOLDIER, unwilling to share him. Sephiroth was distracted, drawing into himself and shunning Zack's attention. Even the Turks, Reno and Tseng, had little time for him, dealing with the nasty little groups of people, protesting against ShinRa's activities. There were still willing bodies for him, but few captured his attention the way his previous lovers had. Even though he wasn't one for sentimentality, he preferred there to be at least a spark between him and his lovers. Unfortunately, no-one caught his attention in quite that way.

His hopes were raised when Sephiroth ordered him on a mission with Tseng. Usually, he came as a package deal with Reno, so Zack was keen to find out what it would be like to have the quietly intense man all to himself. His plans were scuppered though, when he found out that they would be accompanied by two young, green troopers. That was until he set eyes on Cloud.

Cloud was like a breath of fresh air for Zack. A beam of sunlight that pierced through the shadow of everything that had happened. He was a quiet young man, barely old enough to be in the army and untainted by the harsh realities of life in the military. Idealistic and fiercely ambitious, Cloud reminded Zack of his younger self. That comparison inevitably led to others and as Zack watched Cloud’s backside, swaying from side to side as he navigated the deep snow of Modeoheim, he wondered if anyone had yet sampled Cloud’s charms.

Temptation warred within him. He recalled how embarrassed he’d been when Angeal initiated their first sexual act; could he do the same to Cloud? He had been friends with Angeal long before that night when Angeal started him on the road to sexual discovery. His mentor had long since gained his trust and that side of their relationship had felt like a natural development. Friends to lovers. That was the difference between him and Cloud. He barely knew the boy and there he was, planning to seduce him. Tearing his eyes away from Cloud, he shook his head. Friends first and then if Cloud was willing, maybe lovers.

“Hey Zack?”

True to his resolve, Zack made the effort to get to know Cloud when they returned to Midgar and found that not only was he a delight to look at, he was a joy to be with. Where others might have seen Cloud’s single-mindedness – he was going to be a SOLDIER, he was going to succeed, he was going to go home one day with his head held high – as nothing more than childish fantasies of glory, Zack found it endearing and actively encouraged him to pursue his dreams.

“What’s up, Cloud?”

He had even adopted Cloud in much the same way as Angeal had adopted him, helping him train in preparation for the upcoming SOLDIER qualification exams.

“I really appreciate all the help you’ve given me.”

More than that, they had become good friends, spending time together whenever they had the opportunity. Cloud’s sense of humour was every bit as wicked as Zack’s and it was only his reserved nature that tempered Zack’s mischievous side and kept them both out of trouble.

“Aw, you’re welcome, kid.”

He bolstered Zack’s ego, there was no denying that. Always so grateful to Zack for giving up his time to teach Cloud something new, Cloud listened attentively, practiced hard and never complained about his aching muscles or bruised limbs.

“I was thinking…”

Cloud was something special and had somehow worked his way under Zack’s skin and into his heart. The more he got to know about Cloud, the more he liked him. Even Sephiroth had commented that whenever Zack talked about what was happening in his life, Cloud’s name was never far from his lips.

“Oooh, that could be dangerous.”

Zack still wanted him, moreso than ever but something inside him, whether it was a fear of scaring Cloud off or worse, a fear of rejection that held him back, he couldn’t say. He’d asked himself why over and over in his mind, but every time he tried to picture propositioning Cloud, he was beset with nerves and consumed by guilt.

“I’m serious, Zack!”

Previously, circumstances forced Zack to be apart from his lovers, now it was Cloud. Not that Cloud knew anything about his activities with Sephiroth or the Turks, but whenever he tried to approach them, he’d see Cloud’s face in his mind and knew that he couldn’t go through with it. He was forced to break out an old friend, his vibrator, in an attempt to curb his growing sexual frustration.

“Okay, okay. I’m sorry. What have you been thinking about?”

Some days, Zack felt like he had a permanent boner, threatening to compromise his sanity and take over his body in order to get satisfaction. His fantasies, usually a recollection of previous sexual encounters mixed in with a few as-yet unsatisfied notions, became all about Cloud. He’d get himself off to the image of making love to Cloud, to holding Cloud, to whispering promises of eternal bliss to Cloud.

“About us.”

Since when did he care about making love? Since Cloud came into his life, he thought, mildly disgusted with this new train of thought. He liked Cloud’s ass! He wanted to fuck him, not marry him.

“Oh?”

And Cloud…when had Cloud changed? Zack remembered the shy boy he’d met up a mountain and tried to compare him to the confident young man, standing in front of him, glaring and pouting as Zack tried to keep from opening his mouth and pouring his heart out to him.

“I think we should have sex.”

“What?”

“No, seriously,” Cloud nodded. “Because I like you and I think you like me and so it seems like the logical thing to do.”

“It does?”

“Yes. Zack,” Cloud lowered his voice and nodded in the direction of Zack’s groin. “Either mako causes you to have an erection all the time or you have the hots for me. If I’m wrong and it’s the mako, we can just forget about it and pretend I’m drunk. But if it is me…”

For the first time in his life, Zack was utterly lost for words and didn’t know how to respond to Cloud. Silence, it turned out, was not the best reply and Cloud gave an unhappy sigh and turned to walk away. In that instant, Zack’s resolve cracked and shattered.

“It’s you! It’s you! I absolutely most definitely have a boner for you, Cloud.”

Before he knew what hit him, Zack had his arms full of Cloud, grinning up at him and laughing.

“I knew it!” he said smugly and threw his arms around Zack’s neck. “So, do you have anywhere to be right now?”

“Only in bed with you.”

Zack’s quarters, formerly those of his mentor, were thankfully close by. Resisting the urge to heft Cloud over his shoulders and run with him, Zack dragged him along instead, desperate to claim Cloud as his lover. When they reached his door, he kicked it open and pulled Cloud inside then kicked the door shut again. He forced himself to take a deep breath and calm down; he was going to do this right.

“Cloud, I know you’re-“

His words were cut off when Cloud launched himself at Zack, pulling him down into a searing kiss. As soft, plump lips covered his own and a surprisingly confident tongue slipped into his mouth, Zack knew that all of his waiting had been worth it. Their kiss was everything he could ever have hoped for. Cloud fitted against his body perfectly, like he had been designed especially for Zack. A gift sent from the gods.

“You were saying?” Cloud pulled back from their kiss and started to undress, teasingly walking backwards, away from Zack and dropping articles of clothing as he went.

“Uh…” Zack struggled to find his voice. “I was saying, I know you’re young and this is probably a little scary for you but don’t worry.”

“Why would I worry?”

Whining at the sight of Cloud’s erection, springing forth as he removed his underwear, Zack tried to remain focused.

“Well, this is your first time and everything.”

Throwing himself on the bed and bouncing up and down on it, Cloud giggled.

“First time? Zack,” he said, wrinkling his nose and patting the bed for Zack to join him. “I’ve been getting banged by Sephiroth for the past six months. He’s got a cock like the Midgar Zolom. No offense, but I don’t think you’re going to be difficult to take.”

Just like that, Zack’s dreams of settling down to a long and happy life with Cloud crumbled and died.

“Hm, I wonder if he’d be up for a threesome.”

And were then reborn, after all, old habits die hard.

The end
