Chapter Six

 

 

Zack didn't understand what happened. All he knew was he lying on the ground of the church. But everything was white it was so pure and he could see the mixture of black and white feathers drifting to the ground around him.

 

“Genesis… Angeal…” He murmured.

“Hellooo?” The female voice so familiar.

“Hmm?”

 

Opening his eyes he blinked seeing green eyes looking down at him. Brunette hair falling over her shoulder in a long twisted plait like pony tail.

 

“Aerith…”

“Yay for once it wasn't mother.” She stood back and smiled clapping her hands together happily.

Zack sat up slowly looking at her, the dress was pink and she wore a jacket it was a darker shade of pink almost red.

“Wow outfit change… suits you.” Zack smiled at her flipping to his feet.

Aerith smiled stepping back. “You came back…”

He looked at her. “I'm sorry… If I had-”

Her hand moved to his mouth touching it. “Don't be. It had to happen.”

 

Zack wrapped his arms round her pulling her close to him, his head resting on her shoulder. “It's too much… I… don't know what's going on anymore.”

He felt the hand touch the top of his head. “It's okay…”

“I made you wait to long.” Zack clutched at the back of her jacket and he felt her arms slip round his.

“You don't remember…” She sounded sad. “I saw you. In the sky your hand reached for me and those wings it was so peaceful so beautiful.” Her hand moved to pull one of his hands from round her. Her hand slipped in to his gloved hand and her forehead touched his. “After all that time I felt you finally came back.”

“I can't… remember…” Zack sighed, slipping his fingers round hers bringing it to his mouth to kiss softly, he saw the blush on her cheeks.

“I thought you died…” She sounded so sad.

“I was an experiment.” Zack moved her hand to his face.

“I missed you.” She smiled.

Zack looked up as her face. “One day I'll fulfill your twenty three wishes. I promise.”

“Let's start with number one… I'd like to spend more time with you…”

“I'd like that.” Zack's hand moved behind her neck pulling her head down slowly his lips taking hers in the gentlest of kisses.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Cloud lent against the wall he was drifting in and out of unconsciousness, sleep was just so powerful. He never knew how much so though until it snuck up on him.

Zack's steady breathing of his sleep. Even Reno was fast asleep on one of the front pews in the church.

Cloud's hand moved to his eyes as Zack sighed in his sleep.

“Hnnn… Aerith…” He heard the older man breathe.

Cloud groaned tired. “Zack… I'm sorry.” He whispered his eyes drifting closed.

 

He drifted in to a slumber unaware that something else was waking up in Zack's place…

 

~*~*~*~

 

Aerith was so warm and welcoming. Zack felt safe in her arms as her hands played over his skin. She was warm to the touch. He looked at her as she smiled at him before playfully flicking him in the forehead. He smiled.

Zack never realized how much he had cared for her until his `death' but it had been there so strong. He was torn between this world that was so warm, it was so bright the feeling as it crept over his skin was so beautiful, peaceful, relaxing. And then the reality of the world of the living, a world that held the others in his life that he cared about, but it also held so much pain and suffering that Cloud, Tifa, Cissnei and himself had suffered.

 

Zack closed his eyes as his mouth moved over Aerith's again. Just for now he'd stay here with her. Her mouth was soft and inviting, sweet and caring as her finger's played through his hair.

He was getting lost in her body, her touch, her kiss. It was all so easy to fall in love with this girl.

 

It was just a dream, but it was a comforting dream.

 

She lay under him holding on to him, as his hips moved in a wave of passion getting lost between thighs a pale peach color. The contrast against his lightly tanned skin almost picture perfect. Her mouth moved and her hands clung to his shoulders while her breath dropped caresses against his skin as she sighed his name.

 

“Zack…”

 

Zack moved brushing hair from her face staring in to her green eyes. He could get lost in that look all together. So trusting and inviting. He moved his hand down the side of her body lightly in a feather caress. He didn't want to wake up. Not now… not just yet. She felt safe and he felt protected, even as he bore all to her.

 

Pale peach and light tanned bodies moved slowly dreamily with each other, as if riding on their last moment alive. Raven hair dropping over his shoulder as his mouth moved with hers in a silent compromise.

 

It was long over due that he showed her how much she really did mean to him, and one day… one day when he reached the life stream for real. He would show her again over and over, with no limitations and no boundaries.

 

Her soul was too pure, too innocent, and too beautiful to be left in this ethereal world alone.

 

The least he could do was fulfill one tiny wish and spend time with her.

 

~*~*~*~

 

A single mako green eye opened looking at Cloud dozing leaning up against the wall. The smirk crossed his features and he looked over at the red headed Turk fast asleep. It was too good to be true. He was surrounded by Energy sources for mother.

Moving slowly he sat up, he lent over Cloud taking the sleeping blonde in. He slipped a hand to touch the sleeping blonde's face before his mouth moved over the blondes. Eyes slipping shut he let his tongue slip pass lips that seemed to open for him. Now was the time to play with the blonde's head… both of them.

 

Cloud felt the kiss and he sucked in a breath slowly being woken from his slumber. It was different from Tifa. Then his mind woke up instantly it wasn't Tifa.

His head jerked back and hit the wall and he flinched in pain. He blinked seeing Zack's silhouette crouched on one knee in front of him.

“Hey Cloudy…” The voice was Zack.

“Zack…” Cloud blushed had he just dreamed that kiss?

Blinking Cloud took in that Zack now had a long black jacket on. He didn't remember packing that for him. It looked all too familiar though, but in the midst of waking up he couldn't place it, and he hated that he knew he should have.

 

The way Zack was crouched was how Cloud remembered Zack kneeling before he walked off to his death. Cloud moved quickly as Zack stood up he caught the older man from behind his arms round his waist.

“Just stay… don't go to far…” Cloud whispered so not wake Reno.

“I'm not going anywhere… Cloud.”

Cloud blinked the way Zack said his name the tone itself was different and he let go stepping back and he saw Zack look over his shoulder at him.

His eyes weren't blue but they weren't purple either. Cloud glanced at Reno.

“Reno isn't going anywhere either…” Zack added.

“Zack… are you awake?” Cloud asked looking at him wearily.

Zack let the jacket slip off. “I don't believe I sleep walk kiddo.”

“It's just I'm worried.” Cloud sighed running a hand through his hair.

Zack moved his hand touching the top of Cloud's head ruffling the spikes up. “I'm fine.”

“Do you remember your dream? You said Aerith's name…” Cloud looked down.

Zack slipped in to Cloud's personal space tilting his chin up. “I don't remember a thing.”

Cloud looked up at Zack the touch was soft sensual, almost like Zack wasn't Zack but someone else wanting something more from him.

 

~*~*~*~

 

He was consumed in the warmth of an embrace. Arms held him close his head resting on the soft feminine shoulder. He could hear the steady beat of a heart beat and he let his eyes close.

He felt the pain strike the side of his head followed by a low hiss. It was familiar all to familiar and he felt the cold chill move up his back as if reaching for him pulling him from the warmth in to the depths of a frozen embrace...

 

“NO!” Zack slipped back holding the side of his head. He glanced at Aerith as she looked up at him worriedly. Something had been trying to pull him away from this.

“Zack…”

“Sorry… I guess I'm a little tired more than I thought.” He looked at his hands `What does she want…?'

Aerith touched his forehead taking in his temperature. “It's Jenova… You have to wake up.”

Zack looked at her. “Wake up?” He repeated.

“She's getting ready to take someone's energy.”

Zack's eyes widened. “Cloud… no!”

 

He watched as Aerith slipped back and she smiled at him the white light consuming her. “I believe you've been given a good gift Zack. To watch over those you care about…”

“Aerith wait!” He reached for her but she was already gone.

Zack looked round the void of his `dream'. `How do I wake up though?'

 

~*~*~*~

 

Reno had one eye open watching the two the way `Zack' moved on to Cloud he knew and he moved from the pew quietly grabbing a cup before slipping up behind `Zack' and dumping the water drop over his head.

 

Cloud jumped back and looked at Reno. “Reno…”

Zack shook his head and dropped to his knees looking at his hands. “She… did it again didn't she Reno?” His voice was soft.

“Yeah she did… you okay yo?”

“I felt her that time.” His hand moved to the side of his head. His eyes squeezed shut and he scratched at the ground. “I'm loosing strength to fight her…”

Cloud moved up to Zack crouching in front of him and he saw the mako blue eyes look back at him, they seemed lost and held a new sadness behind them.

“I'm probably not safe to be around Cloud… she's after you.”

Cloud shook his head. “No I'm not running and I'm not letting you die… not again.”

Cloud was thrown back in mental shock as Zack pulled him close the older man's arms wrapping round him. “I remember this dream I was with Aerith…”

 

Reno looked at the ex-SOLDIER he looked to the side to the window Aerith used to stand under. He remembered her standing there he hands clasp in front of herself praying while looking out that window to a sky that she couldn't see.

Cloud rubbed Zack's back slowly. “I miss her too.”

Reno walked back to the pew and sat down it was a close call and he looked at the water. It was a simple solution to their problem.

`Water that explains why Zack felt like he woke up in the shower, he did…' Reno realized and he grabbed his bag from the pew and walked back to the water collecting some of it for the lab.

“Reno?” Cloud looked over.

“For the lab yo. It drove her back it might hold a cure.” Reno stated.

 

Zack slipped back from Cloud flopping to sit cross legged on the ground. The reality of this world was so much colder this time round. His hand moved to touch his skin on his arm it was so cold like death itself had touched him. His hand moved to rub the back of his neck, he wanted to shed tears but he knew that would upset Cloud. How could he keep fighting this when eventually going to sleep could kill those he cared about?

Rubbing his eyes he knew he was going to fall asleep regardless.

“Reno… pass me some of that water.” Zack remarked.

He felt a cup handed to him and he drank the water letting the cool liquid sooth its way down the back of his throat. He blinked feeling it once settled inside his stomach warm up and his hand moved there blinking looking down.

“Zack?” Cloud asked.

“That water…”

“A gift from Aerith.” Cloud stated.

Zack smiled slightly. “No wonder it feels warm inside.”

He caught Reno raising a brow at him. “I don't even want to know what you were dreaming yo.”

 

Cloud blushed looking horror-struck at the Turk. “RENO!”

“What?” Reno scratched hi head and yawned. “Reality check he's a guy, most guys dream about girls and sex… I know I do… we're not all hold outs like yourself. But then again lately you've been a bit more in to the exciting activity of the bedroom I noticed.”

“RENO!” Cloud growled.

“What it's true.” Reno smirked.

“If you even try to repeat that…” Cloud began.

“With a camera.” Reno added.

Cloud pulled out his buster sword and Reno blocked with the EMR the two of them glaring evenly at each other.

 

Zack watched the two and he shook his head and stood up waving his hand. “I'm going back to sleep try to kill each other quietly okay?”

He walked back up to the window and he stopped spotting a black jacket. He moved to it crouching down and lifting it up by the collar. The shoulder pads made him drop it in shock before it seemed to vanish in a very familiar puff of smoke.

`Sephiroth…' He stood up looking round.

Zack could feel that eerie smile as if it was right behind him and Sephiroth was watching over his shoulder he shuddered involuntary.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Cloud woke up with the sound of rain falling and he sat up tiredly, he looked at Fenir parked inside the door of the church. Reno was fast asleep on the pew again his EMR on his chest. Zack was sleeping under Aerith's window with a couple of blankets over him. Cloud looked up seeing the rain fall from the hole in the ceiling in to the water and he let the blanket drop to his waist. Getting up slowly he walked up to the water's edge looking in to the depth, crouching down he let his hand dip in the water before he scooped some up in a cup and took a sip.

He was sure he felt a hand move over his shoulder.

 

`Let him know its okay for him to be alive. I don't mind. I'll wait… He's in pain, emotionally and physically but he won't admit it…'

 

Cloud spun round. “Aerith…” He breathed. He found himself staring at the white light coming from the doorway.

She smiled at him, yet it seemed so sad.

 

`He's hurting a lot than he's letting on… there's only so much I can do for him… even if all you can do is try… a little bit at a time…'

 

Cloud watched her as she walked to the entrance, her hand trailing over the bike slowly before she vanished through the door. “I'll try… for Zack.” He whispered.

 

Mako green eyes opened and looked over to where Cloud stood looking at the door.

`So forgetful aren't you Cloud?' The mouth tilted up in to a smirk.

Sephiroth moved slightly and he felt Cloud look in his general direction. “Are you awake again?”

“Trouble sleeping.” He smirked in the darkness using Zack's voice to fool the young blonde. Standing up slowly he felt the comfort of his jacket and he ran his hand through the short hair of the body. He was so close just two more to go before his full form could come out of this body making the former SOLDIER member just a piece of his memory.

“Zack… I haven't called him yet but I will tonight.”

“Him.” Sephiroth repeated.

“Vincent. Perhaps he knows what's wrong with you.”

Sephiroth smirked walking slowly towards Cloud. “The sooner you do the sooner this could all be over with.”

 

Cloud blinked. Zack's voice it was Zack's voice but it several times more smoother than it should have been when Zack woke up he was normally croaking or quite hoarse until he got some liquid down, but this was strange it made Cloud wonder how long Zack had actually been lying awake for.

He went to ask but blinked seeing the silver streaking through almost every single one of his spikes.

“Zack… your hair… it's…”

“It'll be fine…” Zack replied simply.

“I'm worried about you.” Cloud frowned. Zack rarely worried about himself anymore.

“Don't be everything will be alright.” Zack just smiled at him.

Cloud sighed. `How can he keep smiling? How does he do it and hide his pain so well?'

Zack was just smiling with ease regardless. His eyes caught Cloud's.

“Will it really?” Cloud looked at him.

Zack's gloved hand moved to touch the side of Cloud's face. “Once Vincent arrives everything will be as it should be.”

Cloud blinked looking at Zack he could feel the blush on his cheeks from the touch. Swallowing he nodded his head slowly. “Right… I'll call him tomorrow… he has this habit of not answering his phone though.”

“Sounds like a certain blonde I know.” Zack smirked right at him.

 

Sephiroth grinned Cloud was easy to play and the Turk had not told him the truth, which made it easier. Tilting Cloud's head up to his he let his hand slip to the back of the younger man's neck. Cloud blinked confused for a moment.

“Zack…”

“Shhh don't wake Reno.” He whispered last thing he needed was that Turk waking Zack up again.

Sephiroth was so close to gaining better control over Zack's body that soon after the third conquest he'd be able to stir from Zack's body even when the man was awake. But right now he just needed Cloud to submit under him.

Sephiroth's mouth crushed against the blondes pulling his head in close in a vice like grip. Lips hungrily claimed lips like a man possessed. Cloud gasped in shock before he stumbled back looking at Sephiroth blinking. “Z-Zack…” He whispered.

“Don't be worried. With your help I'll be able to get through this… just be as strong as you can be.” A hidden smirk touched the corner of his lips. He played perfectly on Zack's voice using it to entice Cloud to trust him fully.

 

Cloud's hand moved to his mouth. The kiss was familiar he woke up to it didn't he? He was still confused if that was a dream or not. Zack coming on to him didn't seem like Zack, yet the eyes weren't purple so it wasn't Jenova either.

Cloud slipped back he was unsure and he felt nervous knots forming in his stomach his best friend and mentor had showed no sexual interest in him before.

Cloud was pinned to the wall suddenly as a mouth hungrily began to devour the side of his neck. His breath came sucking in a startled gasp. The cooling air moved down his throat leaving a ticklish sensation behind and a dampness that came with the air when near water.

“Hnnn… Zack…” Cloud gasped his hand moving though the raven and silver streaked spikes. He heard the zip of his turtle neck as it was undone and the fabric was pulled off slowly as the mouth hungrily began to move down his body.

His head leant back against the wall as he felt the mouth move in every dip and every crevice of his body's definition. Legs were nearly ready to give out on him, the blush riding his face as he slid down the wall. Zack's body followed before crouching in front of him. Zack's mouth moved over his.

`Help him…' It's what Aerith had said. He didn't know if this was help enough or what she meant by it but he would try.

Hands gripped him through his pants and he hissed quietly. “Zack… Reno could-” He was cut off as a mouth covered his again and his pants were slowly pulled down. He titled his hips allowing Zack to strip him down. He had no idea why he was so compliant with Zack's silent wishes.

Zack's hand covered his mouth before he could gasp and he felt the slick wet mouth take in his slight arousal. Cloud's hips jerked up in to the mouth suppressing a groan under the hand over his mouth. Being buried in Zack's mouth it felt good, warm. He squeezed his eyes shut letting the sensation come. Zack's hand dug in to one of his thighs as he sucked urgently.

 

Sephiroth let Cloud's mouth go finally when he was sure the blonde got a hint not to wake the damn Turk or else all would be ruined and his identity revealed before he could get to the third target. Sephiroth played on Zack's image standing slightly in order to pull the turtle neck off followed by the pants. He placed a hand on Cloud's head before he lowered himself to the body of the waiting blonde. Lightly he pushed the blonde on to his back letting the gloved hand move between thighs and stroke Cloud's already forming arousal into more firmness. It made Cloud mumble Zack's name in his sexually delusional state.

Using his other hand he slipped a finger through Cloud's tight ring of muscle. Making the blonde jerk and arch his back with a slight gasp before the younger man's hands moved to Sephiroth's shoulders. Clutching desperately as he tried to steady his quickened breathing.

Sephiroth smirked at the blonde getting lost in to a state of lust underneath him. It was all too perfect and far too easy using the body of the one man Cloud cared about.

“Z-Zack…” The hiss of Cloud's voice even if it wasn't his name he didn't care the expression alone was worth it. Slipping a second digit in stretching the thin ring of muscle preparing the blonde for something he would definitely remember about his friend and mentor.

“Shhhh…” He soothed. “I'm right here.” Inwardly smirking he was glad at how easy it was to gain the blonde's trust in to opening up to him. Zack was definitely a good choice in the long run. He was stronger now than he'd ever been. Enhanced with so much Mako and Jenova cells that when he woke up and saw his reflection he wouldn't know what hit him.

Slipping the third digit in to Cloud's tight entrance he began stroking and curling fingers adjusting the younger man's entrance for the memory of a lifetime. Something he wouldn't forget… ever, yet Zack would have recollection of the next morning.

 

Cloud hissed at the feeling of fingers moving stroking and curling inside of his body. It was an unusual feeling but not unpleasant in the least. Not like he'd thought it would be. If Zack had hated him for letting him die, then this would prove that it was just a mental lie made up by his own unstable mind.

Lips covered his own and he felt the strong body of Zack cover his as fingers slipped out before the intrusion of something else slipped in to his entrance fast and quick. Making Cloud cling to shoulders and gasp louder than he should have.

“Zack!”

“Shhhh…” Zack soothed, his hips moving against Cloud's, who was slowly starting to rock with his body in a rhythm undefined.

 

Reno opened one eye the sounds from the other side of the church were way to familiar for his liking and he sat up looking over. What he didn't expect to see was Zack's body covering Clouds hips moving in to the younger blonde's with a lust that Reno found all too familiar and eerie.

“Shit…” He whispered. It was too late to wake Zack now the former SOLDIER would probably hate himself or go in to shock.

Slipping from the pew Reno took his exit out of the church and flipped open his cellphone.

“Man Tseng's gunna have my ass for this.” He grumbled dialing in the head Turk's number. That was what three for three now? Sephiroth only had one more to find before he could manifest fully using Zack's body.

 

Tseng answered almost instantly, he seemed to sigh on the other end. “What is it Reno?”

“Uhhhhh. Guess.” Reno replied leaning against the wall of the church.

“You said his name again didn't you?” Tseng asked.

“I didn't… But I guess Cloud must have while I was sleeping.”

“Why would he do something that stupid after we've told him not to?”

Reno pinched the bridge of his nose. “I don't know yo… but what would you say if I said theoretically I didn't wake up in time.”

Tseng let out an audible sigh. “We have to find out who this third is… then warn him or her.”

Reno frowned. “Sooo perhaps I should start looking then.”

“Reno…”

“I'm not waking Zack up now yo! Are you kidding me?”

“Then when it's over see if Sephiroth has said anything to Cloud or ask Cloud what he's planning on doing about Jenova. Perhaps there might be a clue as to who the third is.”

“I'll just wait outside till they're done then.” Reno looked to the door.

Tseng sighed again. “Fine… just gather what information you can without leaking what we know.”

“Gotcha.”

Tseng ended the call. Reno flipped the cellphone shut and looked skywards, it was pitch black as it should have been for the hour and he pondered heading back to seventh heaven for a drink. But decided it would probably be better to wait till Cissnei arrived. Who knew how long Sephiroth was going to take with Cloud. There was probably some revenge issues in there that were gunna come out that he best not witness.

 

The sound of water dripped under deep ragged breaths as the two bodies seem to move. Hands clutching firmly at hips as he pushed in then pulled out slow and languid. Moans formed in the nearly silent church. Echoes of their movement vibrated for only a brief second before the hiss of breath came from lips at the re-entry.

 

Sephiroth kept his eyes on Cloud's face the pleasure and pain on the surface driving him onward. How he had waited for so long for this. With all their battles, with everything he endured from the blonde. There was that part of him that became fascinated with the blonde beyond infatuation. Now he had him lost in sexual bliss under him as he rode him to the point of near climax. But he wasn't that kind to let the release come just yet. The best revenge was the fact he was using the body of the boy's mentor to extract what he wanted from the blonde for their next battle. Zack would remain unaware until the Turks deemed him worthy to know. He was grateful when Reno had slipped out unnoticed by Cloud. He had deduced by Reno's actions they didn't want Cloud or Zack to know he was in side. But soon he would have to battle the raven haired ex-SOLDIER for the use of his body. Though right now unaware Zack was sleeping his soul probably wandering the plains of Gaia, unknowingly.

Taking Cloud's mouth in his own again he didn't care now if Reno could hear outside of the church or not. It would just confirm to the Turk that eventually he would be used again like this once he had fully manifested in his true form.

Cloud's moan slipped out in a rumble in his throat. He was just too perfect laid beneath him like the perfect gourmet platter ready to be tasted.

The body still as sculptured as he remembered it in his last battle using Kadaj's body. Each crevice seemed to fit right in to his as if this was it. He could loose himself in the younger man so easily, but he didn't he needed Cloud's energy for mother, not to get lost in his own sexual enthrallments.

 

Cloud felt one hand leave his hip before he heard Zack's voice. “I'm glad you got stronger Cloud…”

Cloud blinked for a moment. Zack's voice, but there was something hidden behind it. Some meaning he couldn't calculate. And before he could a mouth began devouring his neck while a hand stroked his neglected arousal.

“Hnn… Zack!” Cloud's hips bucked up in to Zack's hand as the older man stroked him. He was so close to his release but every time he got close Zack let go and let the need quell inside before starting over. It was torture, but it was making it more mind blowing than he remembered sex could ever be.

 

Sephiroth loved the expression Cloud had when he got denied his release, but the energy was sufficient enough. The young man would get a second dose later after his true form was revealed. He would enjoy that more than this one knowing the blonde wouldn't hurt him because he was inside of Zack.

The hiss that left Cloud's mouth was followed by words soft and begging. “Zack… please…”

Sephiroth's hand clutched tighter as he stroked up then down moving faster with each length of Cloud's arousal from base to tip and down.

Hips jerked up and the cry of Zack's name on Cloud's lips as the blonde's release spilled over his hand.

Pulling his hand back he grabbed on to hips against thrusting in deeper and faster in to Cloud's entrance with a force unjustified by humanoid strength. Making the blonde writhe and gasp under him. It was so tight and warm, entirely inviting, easy for him to complete what he needed.

 

Cloud grabbed on to hands on his hips as Zack was riding out his own pleasure he seemed lost within himself for a moment before he moaned loud enough for it to echo of the church walls before spilling his release in to Cloud making him blush. It was a sensation he wasn't used to of being filled like that.

Slowly Zack pulled back standing up using the wall to lean against before sliding down it sitting near Cloud's head.

Cloud moved from the ground looking at Zack. No words were forming what do you say after a moment like that with a friend who three days ago you though was dead.

 

Sephiroth sucked in the air and he let his elbows rest on his knees he could see Cloud looking at him and he just smirked before placing a hand on his head in a Zack mannerism. “You have no idea what you've just helped me with.”

Cloud blinked he looked confused. “I helped you?”

“More than you realize.” He let his head lean back against the wall. He could feel the power coursing through the body it was so tempting to take on his true form but he decided against it. Let it be the surprise that the blonde could stew over later.

Closing his eyes, he would rest and let the former SOLDIER have the use of his body back and wonder what the hell happened when he woke up.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Reno heard inside go silent and he pushed the door open under Aerith's window Zack sat propped up against the wall seemingly asleep while Cloud seemed to be doing up the last of his clothing a blush on his normally unemotional face.

“Yo…”

Cloud looked at him. “Reno… you…”

“Yeah… got news for you kiddo…” He motioned at Zack the black hair completely silver.

Cloud looked over his shoulder at Zack and blinked. Raven hair replaced with pure silver. He looked back to Reno. “Meaning.”

“Sex feeds the beast that waits inside yo.” Reno stated.

Cloud shook his head. “That can't be right.”

“Wait till he wakes up see if he remembers.” Reno began to walk down the church isle.

Cloud walked up to him. “Why didn't you do something? Wake him up?”

“I woke up when he was inside you yo… What do you think that would do to him?” Reno shot Cloud a challenging look.

Cloud looked to Zack sitting there his breathing slow and steady like he was dreaming.

“We need to get him cleaned up and dressed before he wakes up.” Reno began to walk toward Zack swallowing lightly. He hated approaching the man while he slept. It was slowly becoming a number one fear.

As if reading it Cloud placed a hand on Reno's chest stopping him. “I'll do it. Go wait for Cissnei.”

“You don't need to tell me twice.” Reno took a step back watching Cloud walk back up to the slumbering Zack.

 

 

To Be Continued…
