Cloud woke in the hospital again, this time he was alone. Looking up at the ceiling tiles he wondered what he was going to do? Aerith had told him in this world things will not be as he remembered. One glaring example was that here it seemed he had passed the SOLDIER exam. He wondered if his friends from AVALANCHE existed and if so were they the same? What about Sephiroth? Would he be able to survive without becoming mentally unstable? He rubbed his hands down his face as the memories of this worlds Cloud spiraled through his mind.
“Look who’s finally awake.” Cloud dropped his hand to see Zack standing in the doorway. He looked unsure as he stood there.
“Ya.” Cloud responded. He wondered if he would ever get used to seeing his best friend alive. He could feel his heart hurt from the memory of leaning over the man as he bleed out on that cliff. Cloud closed his eyes praying he would never have to witness that moment again. He was sure it would kill him to see his friend die again.
“How you feeling?” Zack asked, concern coloring his normally exuberant voice.
“Like I was hit by a first class SOLDIER.” Cloud said, wanting to erase the uncertainty off his friends face.
Zack blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. “Yah well ya kinda did get hit. I promise I won’t be doing that again. At least not until your first MAKO treatment.”
Cloud felt a smile cross his face. Sitting up he watched his friend cross the room.
Smiling, Zack sat in the chair beside the bed. “Doc thinks you should be good to leave tomorrow. S,o we still going to celebrate your entrance into SOLDIER.”
“Yes. I would like that very much.” Cloud said.
“I hope you don’t mind, but the entire graduating class heard about it and they have invited themselves to our little outing.” Zack said, clearly pouting.
“No. I don’t mind. The more the merrier.” Cloud said cheerfully. It had been such a long time since he had felt any kind of happiness. Sure he had felt content during the peaceful times where he had come from but never true happiness. Maybe Aerith had done the right thing by bringing him here. A place where he could have the life he once dreamed of, instead of the misery and despair he had always lived with.
“Now that’s an awful face. Does something hurt?” Slapping himself on the forehead, Zach sighed, “Of course it does. Want me to call a nurse?”
“No! I’ll be fine. I was just remembering a bad dream.” Cloud said quickly, not wanting Zack to leave.
“You want to talk about it?” Zack asked.
“No, maybe another time.” Cloud responded.
‘A bad dream.’ Sephiroth thought to himself as he leaned against the wall outside the hospital room eavesdropping. Could that be what had caused Cloud to act the way he did? Sephiroth had been walking down the halls lost in thought when he had seen Zack ahead of him entering a room. Realizing where he was he had approached the door to check on the young man, but stopped when he heard them talking.
Pushing away from the wall, Sephiroth headed back to the office building. He decided he would finish his reports before this celebration they had discussed because he was going to crash it.
The day had passed slowly while the nurses came to check on Cloud through the day. Some of his friends had come to visit too. But now that night had come everything was quiet. Cloud was a little afraid to fall asleep. His rational mind assured him he would wake here tomorrow and all would be fine. But his irrational mind kept whispering, this is all a dream, even if it’s real Sephiroth will slit your throat while you sleep.
Sephiroth watched from the door as Cloud fought sleep. Every time he would start drifting off he would jerk awake with a hiss. Sephiroth was seriously considering sending the nurse in to give the boy something. Clouds eyes drifted shut again and this time he stayed that way, his breathing slowed and deepened. Sephiroth walked quietly into the room to stand beside the bed. The blonde was young and Sephiroth knew he shouldn’t be watching the boy but something about Cloud was attracting.
When Zack had asked to help Could in his training, Sephiroth had been curious. So he had watched their first lesson from a distance. Cloud had been small, almost child like, but graceful. He hadn’t been able to take his eyes off the blonde.
Reaching down Sephiroth brushed a lock of blonde hair form Clouds cheek. It was as soft as he had imagined it would be. Cloud moaned and turned his head into the caress. Sephiroth sighed. He shouldn’t be here. The boy was too young to keep up with his appetites, but that didn’t stop his desire to posses the boy. Turning Sephiroth started walking away.
“Seph……Sephiroth please…..” He stopped, turning towards the sleeping Cloud. As he watched the boys brows drew together in pain. “Nnnoo.” He whispered, his hands forming fists. Sephiroth turned and darted out the door just as Cloud screamed “NO DON’T.” and jerked upright in bed panting.
“Shit.” Cloud hissed as he dropped to the mattress. It had been awhile since he had that nightmare.
“Sir. Are you alright?” A voice asked from the speaker in the bed rail.
“Yes. Just a bad dream.” He said.
“Would you like something to help you sleep?”
“Yes. I think that would be best.” He never heard the footsteps in the hall walking away from his room.
“Look who’s finally awake.” Cloud dropped his hand to see Zack standing in the doorway. He looked unsure as he stood there.
