CHAPTER 19: Clouds, coffee and cookies

When Seifer woke the next morning he was tangled around Squall's hot nude body. They hadn't needed the comforter the heat from their bodies was all the warmth they needed. Squall was still asleep, sprawled out on his tummy. A smile of contentment on his love bruised mouth. Leaning up on an elbow Seifer indulged himself staring at the smooth expanse of skin that was laid out before him, last night he had been able to touch Squall, touch him like he wanted to.

He wanted to do it again everything about Squall was soft and silky. Well almost everything he amended the thought. He smirked as he remembered the night before, after their second bought of love making, Squall had shyly told him that he liked being dominated by his `lusty bull'.

He lightly traced his fingers down Squall's back, but he wanted to taste his flesh again so he ran his tongue down Squall's spine.

The change in breathing told him that Squall was now awake, so when he reached Squall's tight little rear, he paused and murmured, “Good morning Sweet Cheeks.”

Squall rose up on his elbows and looked over his shoulder at his lover and smiled, “Sweet Cheeks?”

“Yeah, Sweet Cheeks. `Cause baby you've got the sweetest cheeks I've ever seen,” And nipped him on the rear. “Or tasted.”

Squall squirmed away from him and threw his legs over the edge of the bed, “As much as I would love spending the day in bed with you, we can't.” He said and walked in the direction of the bathroom.

“Why not?” Seifer pouted.

“Because we are expecting company today.” Squall threw over his shoulder.

Seifer's brow furrowed in confusion, “We are?”

“Barbecue.” Squall answered then waggled his eyebrows at the big blond “If you promise to be good you can take a shower with me.”

“Baby, I ain't promising anything. If I see that beautiful body of yours naked and wet again I won't be responsible for my actions.” Seifer promised. “I'm going to make a pot of coffee.”

Squall walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on while he waited for the water to warm up he brushed his teeth, and checked his cheeks and jaw. Nope still no sign of a whisker. It was if somebody somewhere had smiled down on him and decided that he would never have facial hair, that it would destroy the classic beauty of his face.

Whistling Squall stepped into the shower and quickly lathered up. He couldn't enjoy a long leisurely one he had about a million and half things to do today. He needed to go to the market and pick up more chicken and anything else they might need for the barbecue. He needed to call Connie and ask her if it was too late for her to make another pie, since the guest list had increased. He also needed to get in contact with Kiro's again to see if he at least had some vital stats on the informant, so he would be able to watch for him.

He needed to sit down and talk with Cloud sometime today as well, his friend had seemed a little distressed at the club. And while they were dancing Cloud had told him that he needed to talk about something really important.

Then there was getting ready to go out to the club. Oh yes, and sometime today he wanted to make love with Seifer again.

Finished with his shower he stepped out and toweled off. Going into the bedroom he walked over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of cut-offs and a tank top. Dressing quickly he slide his feet into a pair of huaraches.

Clicking open his cell phone and called Chris and Connie's.

“Good morning Squall.” Connie greeted him.

“Morning Connie, I was wondering if it would be too much trouble to make another pie since the guest list has increased to include four more adults. If it is I can pick up something else when I go to market to get chicken.”

“It's no problem honey, I was planning on making two pies anyway.” She answered cheerfully.

“Thanks! We'll see you around 2:00ish.”

Walking towards the kitchen he was greeted by Seifer walking out with two steaming cups of coffee. He handed one to Squall and started laughing.

Squall paused with the cup halfway to his lips, “What?”

“So is that what you are Squall? My San Francisco treat.” Seifer grinned at him.

Squall was confused and it came through in his voice, “What are you talking about?”

“The tank top.” Seifer replied.

Squall glanced down and saw that he had grabbed a tank top with the Rice-a-Roni logo printed across the chest. Taking a sip of coffee he licked along his upper lip, “Yours and only yours.”

While Seifer prepared the pot of coffee, he thought about Squall some more. More then anything he had wanted to take another shower with his Sweet Cheeks but knew that if he did they would wind back up in bed.

Squall went into the kitchen and grabbed a notepad to make a quick list of what he was going to need to get at the market.

“Squall, why don't you let me cook the chicken. Cause honey you haven't had barbecue until you've had Texas barbecue.” Seifer offered.

“Okay. Do you need me to pick up anything special for it?” Squall asked.

Seifer grabbed the list from Squall and wrote down what he was going to need to make the sauce. Glancing up at the sexy brunet he asked, “How do you want it? I can do sweet and spicy, sweet and sticky, or a nice mild one.”

“Probably the mild since there are going to be children here.” Squall answered and winked at him then ran the tip of tongue over his upper lip.

Seifer swatted him on the ass with the note pad and said, “Fine, besides I think you're sweet and spicy enough?” And finished adding what he was going to need and handed the list back to Squall.

“Flirt. Could you do me a favor while I'm at the store?”

“Sure babe.” Seifer answered and grabbed him by the hips pulling their bodies closer together.

“Could you gather up towels for me and put them into wash?” Squall leaned up and kissed him.

“Yes. Do you want me to wash the sheets too?” Seifer whispered against his lips. Then kissed him deep, grasping his ass at the same time rubbed their groins together.

“Wouldn't hurt. Unfortunately, you are going to have to let me go.” Squall gazed up at him silver blue eyes glazed with his growing passion.

“Do we have to do anything tomorrow?” Seifer asked, still not releasing his hold on Squall.

“No. Why?”

“Because when we get home tonight, I'm going to make love to you for the rest of it. And tomorrow I'm not going to let you out of bed.” He promised in a throaty growl and released Squall.

Squall looked at the list again across the top in bold letters he added one word, CONDOMS!! And underlined it three times adding a little smirky smile under the exclamation points.

Seifer looked at it and laughed and continued to do so as he left the kitchen.

Going out to the garage Squall jumped in the Beamer and was gone within a few minutes.

After loading the washing machine with towels and washcloths, Seifer went and striped the sheets off the bed and remade it. He was carrying the linens out to the garage when the doorbell rang.

Dropping the sheets by the door Seifer walked over to the front door and looked through the peephole and groaned, “What is he doing here this early?” He thought about ignoring it but knew that Squall would be seriously pissed off at him if he did, opening the door he told the blond to come in.

“Hey Seifer.” He greeted.

“Cloud.” Seifer managed to keep the hostility from his voice.

“Where's Squall?” Cloud asked with the same friendliness.

“He had to go to the store, come on in.”

Cloud walked into the house and glanced around his usual pale features suddenly went red in anger, “What the fuck happened to his piano?”

Seifer growled, “His dumb shit brother. Look, I need to get these out to the garage, there's fresh coffee help yourself.” Seifer picked up the load of laundry that he had dropped and proceeded out to the garage, where he dumped it in a laundry basket.

Cloud went into the kitchen, grabbed a cup and poured himself some coffee. He was going to sit down at the table and wait for Seifer when he noticed that it was listing. Going back out to the living room he sat down at the table and was in the process of grabbing a coaster when he heard, “Make sure to use a coaster.”

Cloud threw his head back and laughed, “I am. Besides if I didn't Heartbreaker would cut my balls off and use them for a haki sac.”

Seifer couldn't help but laugh, “I'll be right back.” Then went into the kitchen and retrieved his own coffee and reentered the living room.

Cloud was looking around the living room, his brows knit together in confusion. Last time he had been here, there had been two overstuffed chairs that matched the couch and love seat. Glancing over at Seifer he asked, “So did idiot lips destroy the two chairs as well?”

“What two chairs?” Seifer asked the confusion apparent on his face.

“The two chairs that match the couch and love seat.” Cloud offered as explanation.

“I don't know what happened to them, when I first got here, the only thing here was the couch and loveseat.” He answered and reluctantly sat down by Cloud.

Cloud quirked an eyebrow at him, “You don't like me do you?”

“What?” The question caught Seifer off guard.

“You heard me. Look Seifer, Squall Leonhart is my best friend. Yeah we do have history but that's all it is.” Cloud tried to reassure him. Quickly draining his cup he sat it down on the table. “Perhaps it would be better if I left.” And rose from the couch.

“Cloud wait, don't go.” Seifer said. He wasn't sure how he felt about Cloud Strife. If he had met him under different circumstances he would have probably liked the effervescent man. But last night when he saw how he and Squall behaved around each other he was jealous. Seifer shook his head and chuckled a little, “It's not that I don't like you. It's just that,” He stopped not sure where to go in the conversation.

Cloud sat back down, “You were afraid that Squall and I were still lovers.”

“Yeah.”

“Look Seifer, I don't know how much Heartbreaker has told you about he and I, but let me reassure you that he never kissed me like that.”

“Excuse me?”

“Last night at the club.”

“I know. But what the hell do you mean that he never kissed you like that.” Seifer asked abruptly.

“Let me get come more coffee and I'll explain. Would you like some more too?” Cloud offered.

“Sure.”

“How do you take it?”

“Black.”

Returning to the living room Cloud gave Seifer his cup of coffee and sat back down, grinning at the big blond Texan, “Seifer last night when you and Squall kissed, it was like seeing and feeling a star go super nova, and everybody in a hundred mile radius probably felt it.”

Seifer smiled, his thoughts had been different last night when he and Squall kissed for the first time. It had been like being caught in a vortex but it was also like Cloud described.

“Before that, Zell made a comment about wondering if he had a chance with you. Squall told him to back off, that you were his. Then Zell said something about Squall needing to tell that to Vincent. He didn't see it but I certainly did, Heartbreakers whole demeanor changed, if you hadn't come back over when you did, more likely then not he would have gone over and slapped his brand on you. I've never seen him react that way Seifer, Squall really likes you and really cares about you, please don't hurt him.” Cloud said softly.

“I have no intentions on hurting him. I feel the same way about him.” Seifer replied sincerely.

“Good! Then I won't have to kill you.” Cloud said semi-seriously.

Seifer laughed, “Good luck with that.” He was actually starting to like Cloud Strife.

“So what do you know about Vincent? Why did he and Squall split? I know about Nathan.” Cloud asked.

Seifer debated with himself on rather he should tell Cloud why Squall and Valentine had broken up. Not entirely sure if it was his place to do it. But he had seen the dreamy look that passed through Clouds eyes when he mentioned Vincent's name. “Uh, Cloud it's really not my place to tell you what happened.”

Cloud joked, “So what did Vincent do cheat on him?”

Unfortunately for him Seifer had just taken a swallow of coffee and choked.

Cloud leapt gracefully from the couch and started to pound Seifer on the back, but stopped when Seifer waved him away.

Seifer finally cleared his airway and gasped out, “What?”

Cloud sat back down and repeated his question.

Seifer let out a long breath and hoped that Squall wouldn't be pissed off at him, but Cloud had nailed it. “Yeah.”

Cloud jumped off the couch again and started pacing back and forth, “Is he fucking insane or just on crack?” Seifer started laughing at the comment, Cloud stopped his pacing turned and glared at the big blond Texan, and snapped, “What's so funny?”

“Nothing I asked Valentine the same thing last night.” Seifer answered with a chuckle.

Finished with his tirade Cloud came back over and plopped on the couch and hissed, “What did he forget how Squall feels about fidelity?”

“No! He didn't forget, he just didn't think Squall would find out.” Seifer answered honestly.

“Can you say imbecile? I know you can.” Cloud sneered, which caused both men to start laughing.

Seifer sobered first and looked over at the spiky haired blond, “What happened between you two?”

Cloud smiled and replied, “One morning we woke up and, “ Cloud paused how could you tell your exes current boyfriend that you had greeted each other like you always did?

“And what? Come off it Strife, spill I know that you were lovers.” Seifer said impatiently.

“Well we kissed and cuddled, and we both discovered that the passion was gone. Oh it didn't happen overnight, it was one of those things that gradually happened.” Cloud smiled sadly. “So we lay in bed and talked for the next several hours and decided that even though the thrill was gone we still cared very deeply for each other, and not wanting to jeopardize that we broke up but still remained friends.”

Seifer didn't know what to say. Part of him was afraid that the same thing would happen between he and Squall. And if it did, he didn't know if he would be able to handle it is as gracefully as Cloud was doing.

One thing that Cloud Strife had always been able to do was read people. Last night just from Squall's behavior he knew that he was in love with the Texan. He wasn't jealous over it in fact he was elated for his friend. And Seifer Almasy in just the short amount time he had known him he knew that he was in love with Squall. Just from his mannerisms and the way his face would soften every time Squall's name was mentioned.

“Seifer can I ask you something?”

“Sure.” Seifer answered.

“You're in love with him aren't you?” Cloud asked bluntly.

“I don't think that's any of your fucking business.” Seifer barked out sharply.

“You know, you can tell me and I won't say anything to Heartbreaker. Might write a song about it, but I won't tell Squall.” Cloud promised.

Bringing his arms up Seifer rested his elbows on his knees and dropped his head in his palms, “Yes I'm in love with him and it scares the shit out of me. I've never felt this way about anyone before and the first time I do it's for another man.” He whispered harshly.

“Wait! Squall was you're first?” The confusion was apparent in Clouds voice.

“Yes and I want him to be my last.”

“Sweet. Can I offer some advice?”

“Yeah!”

“Be honest with him on how you feel. Oh, I'm not telling you to fall down on your knee's and declare you're undying love for him. But when the time is right and trust me you will know when the time is right tell him.”

Squall arrived at the market and picked up the things that they were going to need for the barbecue that afternoon. Making his way over to the pharmacy he grabbed two boxes of condoms and another tube of lubricant. He was on his way to check out when he saw a display of Oreo Double Stuffs and threw two packages in the cart.

When Squall arrived home, he walked in from the garage and saw his two favorite blonds talking and laughing on the couch. Putting the groceries down he crossed over to where they were and gave Seifer a kiss. In the time that he had been gone he had missed the feel of those firm lips against his. He whispered softly against Seifer's lips, “I missed you baby.”

“Missed you too, Sweet Cheeks.” Seifer replied and returned his kiss, then gave him a swat on the ass. “Did you get what I needed for my sauce?”

“Yes and I bought you a present.” Squall said and pulled reluctantly away from his lover. He smiled over at Cloud and said, “Hey Cloud you're early.”

Before Cloud could respond the doorbell rang again, glancing down at his watch Squall saw that it was almost 11:00. “Seif could you and Cloud put that stuff in the kitchen while I get that?” He walked over to the door and answered it.

“Yeah we got a delivery for a Squall Leonhart. We're from Movers and Shakers.” The burly man replied.

Squall knew what it was, smiling he said, “Let me open the other door.” And unlatched the latch and swung the double front doors open. Allowing the delivery men access into the house with the piano that his father had promised he would have delivered.
