Chapter 3
Cloud deepened the kiss, thrusting his tongue tentatively into Sora’s mouth. The brunette immediately returned the gesture, tentatively twining his tongue with Cloud’s and wrapping his arms around Cloud’s neck. Cloud placed his hands on Sora’s hips and pulled the teen closer.
Sora moaned, liking this kiss much better than the few that had been forced on him the last two weeks as part of his training. Xanthus had stolen his first kiss, slapping him when Sora had reflexively bitten Xanthus’ invading tongue. The collar had caused Sora further pain by activating with a jolt of intense pain for harming his ‘master.’ Xanthus had then informed Sora that he would begin his training on learning how to pleasure his next master.
Sora had proved just how stubborn he could be during that two week training period. He’d almost died twice from the surges coming from the collar, but in the end, Sora had gotten his way. Xanthus had shoved Sora in a cage three days before the tournament and had only fed him once a day. The day of the tournament, Sage had pulled him from the cage and taken him to the bathing pool to prepare him for his presentation to the winner.
A finger rubbing across his right nipple caused Sora to moan loudly. He’d never imagined such a simple touch could feel so good.
“Feel good, Sora?” asked Cloud softly, pushing Sora’s vest off and tossing it behind him. With that accomplished, Cloud quickly took off his own shirt and pushed Sora towards the bed. Once Sora was lying on the bed, Cloud said, “Then this will feel even better.” He then leaned down and twirled his tongue around Sora’s nipple, causing the brunette to cry out and arch upwards. Cloud bit down lightly around the erect little nub and tugged gently, smiling smugly at the pleasured scream that came from Sora.
Cloud released Sora’s nipple and kissed his way down Sora’s flat stomach, stopping at the teen’s navel. He swirled his tongue around the indention, dipping in occasionally, until Sora was a moaning, quivering mass of sensation. Quickly pulling Sora’s tiny shorts off, Cloud wrapped his hand around the brunette’s hard shaft and licked the pre-cum from the head.
“Cloud!” cried Sora, spreading his legs and burying his hands in Cloud’s spiky hair. He was lost in a sea of pleasure and reacting purely on instinct.
Cloud engulfed Sora’s shaft in his mouth and sucked firmly. He wanted Sora to come like this first so that he would be completely relaxed for the actual penetration. Cloud wanted to hurt the boy as little as possible. Moving one hand down, Cloud circled Sora’s pucker teasingly while he took even more of the teen’s arousal into his mouth.
Sora gave a muffled scream and tensed as he came, spilling his seed in Cloud’s suctioning mouth. Cloud swallowed Sora’s release before releasing the teen’s softening dick and reaching over to the nightstand for the lubricant. Slathering his fingers with lube, Cloud spread the slick substance around Sora’s pucker before pressing a finger firmly inside.
Sora didn’t even flinch. He was practically boneless in his relaxed state. He did, however, tense slightly when Cloud added another finger, scissoring the two fingers to stretch the tiny hole, but Cloud brushed a spot inside of him that made him cry out and thrust down, forcing the blonde’s fingers further inside of him.
Cloud carefully added a third finger and shuddered at the tight heat surrounding his fingers. He couldn’t wait to be buried in that tight ass. Pulling his fingers out of Sora, Cloud quickly slathered lube on his cock and positioned himself at the teen’s entrance. He leaned down and kissed Sora as he thrust slowly inside the brunette.
Sora hissed in pain as Cloud thrust into him, wincing as the burning pressure increased. Of course, after the last two weeks, this slight pain was nothing. Finally, though, Cloud was buried to the hilt, and Sora sighed in relief, relaxing in Cloud's arms and returning the kiss.
Cloud stayed still for a few moments, giving Sora time to adjust to his length, before pulling back and thrusting back inside. Gradually increasing his pace in response to Sora’s cries and pleas for more, Cloud was soon slamming into Sora, making sure to hit the brunette’s prostate quite often. Sora was moaning almost continuously as nearly every thrust managed to hit that spot inside of him, keeping the pleasure crashing through him. Cloud, knowing that he wouldn’t last much longer with that tight heat surrounding him, wrapped his hand around Sora’s neglected cock and fisted the boy to the furious rhythm his hips were moving.
Sora wrapped his legs around Cloud’s waist, pulling the blonde even closer, and arched his back as his orgasm built. When Cloud’s hand wrapped around his dick, pumping him in time to those mind-numbing thrusts, Sora fell over the edge, screaming as his release hit.
Cloud cried out as Sora’s ass clenched around his thrusting dick and thrust even harder, desperate to reach his own release. A few more thrusts and Cloud moaned as he spilled his seed deep inside Sora. Cloud collapsed on top of Sora, too tired to even roll over. Sora didn’t complain, though. He simply held on to Cloud as if the blonde was the only thing keeping him anchored to this world.
They didn’t get to rest for long, however, because the bedroom door suddenly slammed open and someone shouted, “I'll kill you, you bastard,” while another voice said, “Oh dear. It looks like we were too late, after all.”
Leon opened the door and was shocked by what he found. Sora was lying on the bed with a blonde haired man lying on top of him, and both of them were naked and sweaty. The heavy scent of sex in the room told Leon exactly what he'd just interrupted, and he felt a rush of rage towards the man who had violated the teen.
"I'll kill you, you bastard," shouted Leon, starting towards the bed. He vaguely heard King Mickey say, "Oh dear. It looks like we were too late, after all," and couldn't believe the king was being so calm about this. The blonde on the bed quickly snatched the sheet up and covered Sora before scrambling off the bed to face Leon. Leon got another shock. "Cloud? You did this? How could you do that to him?"
"Leon, he didn't have a choice," said Sora, carefully sitting up on the bed and blushing the whole time. He winced slightly as his ass throbbed and sharp pains shot up his back but quickly shoved the pain aside in favour of making a few explanations to the irate brunette in front of him. "This was the only way to transfer ownership from Xanthus to Cloud."
"What do you mean, 'transfer ownership?' You're not a slave, Sora," said Leon heatedly, stubbornly ignoring the collar wrapped around the teen's slender neck. 'It's just an accessory,' he silently insisted.
"Yeah, well, this collar says otherwise, considering the fact that only Xanthus can remove it, and I don't know about you, but I don't relish the thought of staying here with Xanthus when I could leave with Cloud.," snapped Sora irritably. "The point is, though, that none of this is Cloud's fault, so back off."
“We’ll worry about this later, Leon,” said King Mickey quickly. “Let’s just hurry up and get out of here. We don’t want to alert Xanthus of our presence.”
“Fine!” growled Leon, glaring at Cloud. “Get dressed!”
Cloud stared pointedly at Leon until the brunette finally rolled his eyes and turned his back to the blonde. Cloud quickly pulled on his pants and tossed the shorts over to Sora. When they were both dressed, Cloud pulled Sora towards the door. Leon’s jaw dropped when he saw what Sora was wearing. When the hell had Sora grown up to look like that?
“What the hell are you wearing, Sora?” asked Leon incredulously, having a hard time pulling his eyes away from all that exposed pale skin. Those shorts should be outlawed!
“It’s either that, or he has to go naked, Leon,” snapped Cloud, feeling an unaccustomed jolt of jealousy at Leon’s perusal and pushing Sora behind him protectively. “He was the prize for winning the tournament. What did you expect?”
“Can we please just go?” asked Sora quietly, trying to avert another argument. “I really, really don’t like it here.”
Leon just nodded curtly, took off his jacket, pulled his shirt off, and handed it to Sora. “Here, put this on,” he said gruffly, pulling his jacket back on.
Sora smiled gratefully and put the shirt on, laughing self-consciously when the shirt practically swallowed his smaller frame, coming to rest mid-thigh. Not only was he still several inches shorter than Leon, he was also more slender than the other man. “Thanks, Leon,” said Sora quietly.
Nodding once again, Leon brushed past Cloud and walked out the door. Sora grinned and followed the older man, feeling more like his old self again. Cloud rolled his eyes at Leon’s attitude and hurried after the others.
Xanthus reached the castle entrance just as Sora and company reached the foot of the staircase. "Ah ah, naughty pet," said Xanthus. "You can't leave the castle if you haven't been claimed, and since Cloud doesn't seem to want you, you are now my property once again."
"What are you talking about?" asked Sora in confusion. "Cloud did claim me."
"I don't believe you! There wasn’t enough time for him to have taken your virginity. Not with these fools barging in on you," snapped Xanthus harshly. "Come here, pet." If Cloud had really claimed the keyblade wielder, the boy would be free to ignore the demand.
"I don't think so," said Cloud, pulling Sora into his arms. "The boy belongs to me now. A year, wasn't it?"
Seeing no pain on Sora's face at disobeying his order, Xanthus glared at Cloud. "Yes," he said through gritted teeth. "Of course, there are some other things you need to know about your new pet." He smirked at the wary expressions on everyone's faces. "You see, Sora was gifted as a pet, a pleasure slave if you will."
"Pleasure slave?" asked Leon angrily. "You didn't." He pulled his gunblade and stepped towards the smug king, wanting nothing more than to rip the man’s spine out for reducing Sora to this. Fortunately for Xanthus, Mickey once again intervened by stepping in front of Leon. “You bastard, how dare you do this to Sora.”
"What is he talking about?" asked Sora in a whisper, feeling Cloud stiffen behind him.
"That means, dear Sora, that you must have sex at least once a day until that collar comes off," said Xanthus gleefully. "If you don't, the collar will react the same as if you were disobeying a direct order, intensifying in pain until the order is carried out."
"But it's never done that before," said Sora in bemusement. "Why would it do so now?"
"It only comes into play once you've lost your virginity while wearing the collar," said Xanthus.
"Does it have to be with me, or will anyone do?" asked Cloud, thinking of his relationship with Aerith. To save Sora's life, she could forgive his infidelity once, but not even she would be able to forgive a year of fucking someone else.
"You have to fuck him at least once a day. You're his owner," said Xanthus calmly. "Whether you allow anyone else to fuck your pet is your prerogative." He relished the stunned and horrified looks, smiling brightly in response. "Now you may take your pet and leave this world. You are no longer welcome here."
Sora was horrified at what Xanthus had just told them. Not only was his life just ruined, he'd managed to ruin Cloud's life in the process. Sora knew that Cloud was in love with Aerith, and now the blonde was stuck with him for an entire year. No one was that damn understanding. He was so lost in thought he didn't even notice Cloud pulling him out of the castle. He wasn't really aware of anything until the gummi ship landed.
"Sora, we're home," said Leon gently, pulling the boy to his feet.
Sora looked at his surroundings and realised they were back in Hollow Bastion, or rather Radiant Garden now. He looked past Leon and saw Aerith and Yuffie smiling and waving at them. Just like that, the full impact of what Xanthus had said hit him, and Sora's knees buckled. He couldn't do this. Didn't Cloud deserve to be happy, too? Why did this have to happen?
"He should have left me behind, too," whispered Sora hoarsely.
"Don't say that," said Leon harshly, shaking the boy's shoulders. He couldn't stand the thought of this beautiful boy being forced to serve someone like Xanthus.
"Don't you understand?" asked Sora miserably. "Cloud will lose his light because of me. I didn't just ruin my own life. Oh no, I had to go and drag Cloud down with me."
"It will all work out in the end, Sora. Just believe in that," said Leon softly, dragging Sora over to the rest of the group.
Aerith and Yuffie immediately hugged the boy, unknowingly causing the boy's misery to deepen. Leon kept his arm around Sora as they walked to Merlin's house, afraid that Sora would do something drastic in his current state. He couldn't help but be angry at Cloud for ignoring the boy now that Aerith was around.
"Leon, is there anyway I can take a bath?" asked Sora, blushing slightly at the reason he needed another bath.
Leon caught the blush and wanted to hit Cloud again. Keeping a firm reign on his temper, though, Leon nodded and showed Sora to the bathroom. "I'll see if I can find you some more clothes."
Sora nodded and turned the water on, watching morosely as the bathtub slowly filled with water. Turning off the water once the tub was full, Sora took off the shirt Leon had let him borrow and unbuttoned his shorts. A gasp and a squeal from behind him caused him to spin around, automatically assuming a defensive stance. Once he realised that it was just Yuffie, he immediately relaxed. Maybe he shouldn't have, though. Yuffie was staring at him like she'd never seen him before, and Sora didn't like the look in her eyes.
"Sora, where have you been hiding this delicious body?" she asked, raking her eyes down his body once more. She even licked her lips lustfully.
"Yuffie!" cried Sora, grabbing up Leon's shirt and holding it in front of him like a shield. 'God, now I'm acting like a damsel in distress,' he thought disgustedly. "What are you doing in here?"
"Well, I was bringing you some more clothes, but now I'm thinking you'd look better without them," she said cheekily.
"Yuffie, that's enough," said Leon.
"Oh, you're no fun, Squall," muttered Yuffie, laying the clothes on the sink and stomping from the bathroom.
"I'll make sure you aren't disturbed, Sora," said Leon quietly, keeping his eyes firmly away from the delectable body in front of him. "Enjoy your bath." He shut the bathroom door and leaned against the door, keeping watch as promised.
"I missed you, Cloud," she said, smiling sweetly at the blonde. "What took you so long?"
"I was chasing Sephiroth, and then I had to rescue Sora," said Cloud cooly. "Aerith, we need to talk."
"It sounds serious. About what?" she asked.
"Sora belongs to me and we have to have sex every day," he said quickly, turning his face away from Aerith.
"What do you mean Sora belongs to you?" asked Aerith incredulously. "And you're having sex with a 17 year old boy? But I thought.. what about us?"
"The only way to rescue Sora was to participate in a tournament where he was awarded to the winner. Xanthus, the man who captured Sora, basically turned him into a sex slave. Sora and I had to have sex so that the collar would recognise me as his master so that he could leave the castle. But now that it has recognised me as Sora's master, we have to have sex at least once a day or it causes Sora severe pain," Cloud explained grimly.
"And just how long is this going to last?" asked Aerith quietly, wringing her hands together.
"A year," said Cloud somberly.
"I can't do this, Cloud," said Aerith tearfully. "I can't be with you every day while you go to Sora every night. I'm sorry, but I just can't. I'll be leaving in the morning."
"Aerith, I.." said Cloud, trailing off when he couldn't find what to say.
"Goodbye, Cloud," she said, brushing a gentle kiss across his lips before running out of the room.
"Dammit!" he yelled, slamming his fist into the wall. He wanted to hate Sora for putting him into this position, but he couldn't. It wasn't Sora's fault any more than it was Cloud's fault. And judging by the look on Sora's face earlier, the teen was already feeling guilty enough without Cloud adding to it. All he could do now was make the best of a bad situation.
Cloud deepened the kiss, thrusting his tongue tentatively into Sora’s mouth. The brunette immediately returned the gesture, tentatively twining his tongue with Cloud’s and wrapping his arms around Cloud’s neck. Cloud placed his hands on Sora’s hips and pulled the teen closer.
Sora moaned, liking this kiss much better than the few that had been forced on him the last two weeks as part of his training.

Leon and Mickey each took a side of the corridor, opening doors cautiously and quietly in their search for Sora. Unfortunately, Sora wasn't in any of the rooms on that floor. They continued to the next floor, again with no results. However, when they reached the third floor corridor, they heard a muffled scream and went to investigate.Leon opened the door and was shocked by what he found. Sora was lying on the bed with a blonde haired man lying on top of him, and both of them were naked and sweaty. The heavy scent of sex in the room told Leon exactly what he'd just interrupted, and he felt a rush of rage towards the man who had violated the teen.

"So he thinks to leave without claiming his pet," said Xanthus softly, glaring as Cloud, Sora, Leon, and Mickey ran silently down the corridor. "We'll just see about that." He recovered the orb and hurried from the room. He had a pet to reclaim. The blonde had had his chance, and now it was his turn.Xanthus reached the castle entrance just as Sora and company reached the foot of the staircase. "Ah ah, naughty pet," said Xanthus. "You can't leave the castle if you haven't been claimed, and since Cloud doesn't seem to want you, you are now my property once again."

Cloud watched Sora whisper something to Leon and follow the man out of the room. He was tempted to follow them, but Aerith latched onto his arm and pulled him into her room."I missed you, Cloud," she said, smiling sweetly at the blonde. "What took you so long?"
"I was chasing Sephiroth, and then I had to rescue Sora," said Cloud cooly. "Aerith, we need to talk."

"Goodbye, Cloud," she said, brushing a gentle kiss across his lips before running out of the room.
"Dammit!" he yelled, slamming his fist into the wall. He wanted to hate Sora for putting him into this position, but he couldn't. It wasn't Sora's fault any more than it was Cloud's fault. And judging by the look on Sora's face earlier, the teen was already feeling guilty enough without Cloud adding to it. All he could do now was make the best of a bad situation.
