: Broken silence
________________
Sora descended the last
wooden steps of the stairs leading into the welcoming hall and turned to his
left to enter the dining room. From there he turned to his left again to walk
over to the kitchen, when he heard the keys of a piano playing nearby.
Following the sound to
the door at the outmost right of the room, he halted with his
hand on the knob, wondering who it could be playing such a beautiful tune.
He opened the door
slowly and peeked inside.
Bathing in the light of
the full moon shining through the large windows sat a long white haired man
behind a white piano that Sora recognised immediately. His fingers flew across
the keys virtuously, the sound beautiful, yet melancholic at the same time.
Sora watched him for a
while, the melody striking him deeply for some reason, the evoked emotions
threatening to bring him to tears as the song reached its melodic peak.
Sephiroth sighed as he
played the last note, opening his eyes when he felt another presence in the
room. He calmly turned his head to look at the person standing by the door and
couldn't help the small smile that passed his features. "Good evening,
Sora." He whispered, recognising the small brunette, "It's been a
while."
"That was
beautiful…" Sora whispered with a small smile.
Sephiroth smiled again
and looked back at the piano, "It has been a long time since I played
though. Thank you."
The brunette smiled
back, "Did you arrive long ago?"
"An
hour or so."
Sephiroth said, closing the key case. "Did I wake you?"
"Oh! No, I wasn't
sleeping yet." Sora whispered with a blush on his face, making the other
man chuckle in understanding. "I just came down for a drink."
Sephiroth nodded and
stood, "Then I won't keep Riku waiting for you."
Sora just watched him
pass by and couldn't help but feel sorry for Sephiroth for some reason. It
didn't look like he had the same harsh feelings for his brother like Riku had
for him, making him wonder what it actually was that had happened once again.
"It's good to see
you, Sora. You look good." The elder man said with a brotherly smile,
ruffling Sora's hair briefly. He then exited and left the youth in the dark,
large room.
Sora exited too and
watched with a slight frown how Sephiroth walked up the stairs. Maybe he would
tell him what it was that bothered Riku so much… He shook the idea out of his
head though; Riku told him he'd tell him, so there was no need to go ask
someone else.
Still, as Sora walked
up the stairs with a bottle of water 2 minutes later, he wondered whether Riku
should be told of his brother's presence in the house tonight. He decided that
he preferred keeping the peace between them and that if Riku wanted to get
angry, he could do that in the morning.
________________
"You've got to be
kidding me!"
Sora shook his head as
he laid the last touch to the Christmas tree in the lounge. "I saw him last
night. He's here."
Kairi blinked a few
times at him as she came to him with two mugs of hot chocolate. "What did
Riku say? Did they see each other?"
Sora turned around and
accepted the mug she held out for him and shook his head, "Sephiroth had
to work today and left early. Riku wasn't up yet. Thankfully."
Kairi raised an eyebrow
and took a sip from her drink without saying anything.
"You know, I
really don't think that Sephiroth is that bad." Sora softly spoke, sitting
himself on one of the couches and looking at the decorated tree.
The redhead shook her
head, lay her mug on the glass low table and took
place next to her friend to face him sternly; "Na-uh, do you forget what
he did to my brother? There's no way a guy like that can be good."
Sora sighed and
directed his eyes to the brown surface of his warm drink, "But yesterday I
felt these feelings of regret coming from him, like he really wanted to
try."
"Try what?"
"Try
to make things work."
Sora said, looking at her, "I mean, he knows that he's not really wanted
here, but still he wants to try."
Kairi gave him a
suspicious look, "Is there something you're not telling me?"
Sora shrugged,
"What?"
The redhead rolled her
eyes, "You're feeling sorry for him."
"Well, yeah…"
Sora whispered, "A little."
"Sora…" Kairi
exasperatedly whispered, "He's a heartbreaker, a total egoist. He always
goes out for what he's looking for. Who knows, maybe he tricked you!"
Sora gave her a
doubtful stare, "Why would he do that?"
"Maybe
because he wants you to see Riku as the bad guy and turn the tables in his
favour."
"I would never chose sides against Riku, you know that." Sora
reassuringly said, shaking his head.
Kairi shook her head in
turn, "Just be careful Sora, he's very manipulative, don't always believe
everything he says."
"Believe
everything who says?"
Kairi and Sora turned
their heads to the income hall and heard the front door close as Wakka suddenly
appeared followed by Riku.
Kairi stood up and
walked up to her boyfriend, "Believe everything that you say; just admit
it: you didn't get him that Kamasutra kit for
Christmas did you?"
"A
Kamasutra kit?" Riku echoed, walking passed them and sitting next to
Sora to kiss him on his lips.
Sora chuckled and he
and Kairi shared a knowing gaze, Sora silently thanking her.
"Sora will just
have to wait until next week to find that out, now won't he?" Wakka
responded with a sly smile to his girlfriend, kissing her nose.
"So, got to see
the horses?" Sora asked Wakka.
"Yeah, though I
don't think I'll be riding one any time soon… One of them almost bit my hand
off when I tried to feed it with a carrot." He answered, moving himself to
sit on the other couch with his girlfriend on his lap.
Riku chuckled,
"Bryn is a little temperamental, but he'll grow to like you."
"What did the
trainer say? Can we go horse riding tomorrow?" Sora softly whispered to
his boyfriend.
"Yeah, it should
be no problem." Riku whispered back with a loving smile.
"Okay, that's
settled then," Kairi spoke, "Sora and I decorated the house and we
think we deserve a reward for that."
"It really is
beautifully decorated…" Riku said as he looked around, "But you're
not going to tell me that you got to that chandelier all by yourself."
"Or
got to the top of the windows to stick those stars up there." Wakka added with a grin.
"Hey, we worked
hard!" Sora protested.
"Uh-huh, Leon or
Cloud helped, didn't they?" Riku said with a doubtful look as he kept
admiring the nice decorative work.
"Just
a little." Kairi
said, holding her right thumb and index slightly apart.
That made both Riku and
Wakka chuckle.
"Don't we deserve
some sort of reward?" Sora whispered softly to Riku, putting up his best
puppy eyes.
"Yeah…" Kairi
whispered to her boyfriend.
Riku turned his head to
his friend, "Is now the right time?"
"It's time, brotha." Wakka agreed.
"We passed by a
club on our way back…" Riku started.
"And we saw this
poster of a big star hanging out." Wakka continued.
Riku reached over to
Sora's forehead and tucked a strand of his hair behind an ear, "We wanted
to surprise you guys with maybe a nice night out…"
"Yet sadly, to our
dismay, all tickets were sold out…" the redhead said with a sad look on
his face.
"Who was it?"
Kairi asked softly, but Wakka silenced her and continued. "So my bro and I
got out of the car to see if there wasn't any way possible to still get
in."
"Cause you
see," Riku took over, "We both knew how much you two would like to
see this person and because we love you more than anything in this world…"
Sora was starting to
get impatient, "Tell us already!"
Wakka chuckled,
"You tell them?"
Riku nodded, while
turning his head back to look at Sora, "And so, Wakka and I bought tickets
in pre-sale before coming to Crystle…"
Sora moved himself to
sit with his knees on the couch, "And…?" He urged, speaking through
his teeth and taking Riku by his collar, shaking him slightly.
"And… we got you guys back-stage passes to see Utada
tonight." Riku spoke with a small smirk on his face.
For a moment Sora just
looked at him and then he looked at Kairi who had the same disbelieving
expression on her face. And then…
"Are you frickin' kidding me?!!" Sora yelled, before embracing
his boyfriend, "That's unbelievable! Oh baby, thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!"
"This doesn't count
as a Christmas present now does it?" Kairi suspiciously asked her
boyfriend.
Wakka chuckled and
nuzzled his nose against hers lovingly, "Do I need a reason to give my
baby a special night out?"
Kairi giggled and
thought about it for a moment before shaking her head and jumping up with Sora
to sing the first verse of 'Devil inside' and then screaming at the top of
their lungs in total excitement.
The other two just
shared a chuckle before covering their ears and silently leaving the lounge
with pleased smiles on their faces.
"We're good, ya?"
Riku chuckled and
slapped his hand in Wakka's waiting one, "You bet your ass we are
bro."
________________
"Cloud
Strife is here to see you, sir."
Frowning slightly,
Sephiroth pressed in the button of the intercom, "Let him in, Lynn."
The door to his office
suddenly flew open and a very pissed off Cloud entered before closing the door
again. "We need to talk."
Sephiroth sat back with
a questioning eyebrow, letting go of the pen he had been holding and putting it
in front of him on his desk. "Hello to you too, Cloud." He said
softly, "How may I help you?"
"Quit the fucking
attitude, Sephiroth."
"What's
wrong?" The elder man softly asked with concern.
"Oh please, like
you care!" Cloud scoffed, "Like you fucking care!"
Sephiroth didn't reply
but simply looked at him with a non-understanding expression.
"I need you to
stay away from me!" Cloud said, irritated by the other's dumbfounded
expression, "I need you to stop ruining my life!"
This made the elder man
stand up and keep his eyes on the other man, who was returning the gaze
defiantly. Sephiroth approached him and stopped right in front of him.
"Don't fight it, just give into it."
Cloud shook his head as
he took a step back, "You're so self-conceited…" He wanted to walk
away, but was held back.
"Am I?"
Sephiroth whispered, "Am I really, Cloud?"
I can't do
this…Cloud thought to himself, trying desperately to free himself from Sephiroth's
grip on his left arm. "Let go of me!"
"Tell me the true
reason for your coming here, Cloud." Sephiroth whispered softly, feeling
the blonde's resolve to be angry slowly crumble.
"I hate you!"
Cloud tearfully whispered, his body refusing to struggle any longer against
what was so obvious, but his heart not willing to forget what pain he endured
because of the man. "I hate you so much for what you did to me…!"
"Cloud…"
Sephiroth compassionately whispered, closing his eyes in remorse.
"I never told you…
but I loved you, Sephiroth." The blonde now whimpered, his eyes tightly
closed, "I loved you so much and you just ripped my heart out like it was
nothing. How can I forgive you? How do you expect me to act after 7
years?"
Sephiroth made the
blonde turn around and pulled him closer to him, "I've never stopped
thinking about you. I've never stopped regretting either…"
Cloud didn't look at
him, stubbornly refusing to. "It's too late."
"Is it?"
Sephiroth whispered, making Cloud look up at him finally.
"You ruined it for
us and I'm in love with another man now." Cloud turned his head to the
side and closed his eyes, "We can't go back to what we were."
"Then at least
give me this…" Sephiroth whispered as he lowered his lips on Cloud's,
taking advantage of the blonde's weak moment.
Despite himself, Cloud
found himself kissing him back fiercely, pouring in all the hate, all the pain
and love he had been holding back for seven long years. His body seemed to have
a will of its own; his heart feeling like it was on the verge of breaking, yet
endlessly happy at the same time. He took his face in his hands and deepened
the kiss, not wanting it to end, not wanting to return to reality… A reality
where he couldn't and shouldn't be kissing Sephiroth like this, where he
already had a loving and caring partner in his life and where his desires for
his ex shouldn't be re-surfacing like they did now.
Sephiroth broke the
kiss, looking into the other man's eyes intently, "We can have it all,
Cloud. All I'm asking for is you."
Cloud closed his eyes
at this and caressed his right cheek against Sephiroth's hand holding his face,
a silent tear rolling out of his right eye. "You don't know what you're
asking of me…"
Sephiroth gave him an
indulgent look, "I'll be satisfied with what you can give, Cloud…"
The blonde sniffled and
took a step back from him, disengaging their embrace. He needed some time to
think it all through; he didn't know what he would do, where things stood
between him and Leon and where what he just did would lead him to. He was old
enough to know that he couldn't love two persons at the same time without
tearing himself emotionally apart… and, inevitably, hurting someone along the
way…
He turned around and
exited Sephiroth's office, leaving a part of his heart behind with the one he
once used to call his own.
________________
The clock on the wall
in front of him indicated 1.40 am as he looked up from his sitting position at the end
of the bed he shared with Leon. He could hear the soft whispers of Sora and
Riku who had just returned from their night out with Kairi and Wakka. He waited
patiently in the darkness of his room for the silence to return in the house
after he had heard all bedroom doors close themselves. He then slowly stood up,
leaving Leon asleep in their bed and made his way to the door where he exited
on the tip of his toes.
Once in the corridor of
the second floor, he then took the stairs right in front of their door leading
to the third level of the house and to the attic room.
Not wasting any time
with hesitating any longer, Cloud opened the sole door at the top of the stairs
as soundlessly as he could, peeking inside the large, dark room.
He found himself in
Sephiroth's home office now, and there was a door at the opposite site of the
space. He crossed the room quickly, still on the tip of his bare toes until he
reached the next door and laid a hand on the doorknob. The door opened without
a noise, granting him access to a moonlit bedroom.
On his right he found a
king-size bed and in it, the sleeping form of Sephiroth, sleeping on his back.
Cloud approached the bed and laid himself on it with stealth before creeping
underneath the covers and up the man's body until he practically straddled him.
Sephiroth only grunted
silently in his sleep.
He studied this
handsome man's features leisurely; tracing with a finger over his lips lovingly
and watching how they slightly parted as in invitation.
Closing his eyes, he
then lowered his lips into his neck, gently pressing a soft kiss on the smooth
skin there, his hands roaming over Sephiroth's broad chest with delicate fingers.
As he laid there with
his eyes closed and nose buried in Sephiroth's silver mane, he felt a pair of
hands sliding their way up his back and embracing him tenderly. Cloud slightly
moved his head and azure met with jade, their faces inches apart.
Cloud then sat up,
making sure that their eyes were still locked and loosened the knot that held
his night robe together, letting the opened parts slide down his now bare skin.
Sephiroth reached out
to him and caressed his right cheek, pulling him down on him, accepting the
offer the other had made.
Their kiss was
passionate and sweet this time, setting the tone for their joining.
Knowing that there
wasn't much time for extended foreplay, Sephiroth slowly sat up as he felt
Cloud wiggle his hips, silently asking for him to take him. He took hold of the
smaller male's hips and positioned him on top of him, looking him in the eyes.
Cloud softly smiled
down at him before closing his eyes as his tip passed his tight ring of
muscles. He hadn't forgotten about how painfully large Sephiroth used to be and
hoped that he could relax enough to fit him all inside without lubrication.
Sephiroth watched him
close his eyes as the first sting of pain shot through him and wiped away his
first tear with his right thumb, whispering soft encouragements while his tight
heat enveloped him completely.
Cloud arched his neck
at this feeling that he hadn't felt in so long, softly murmuring Sephiroth's
name in the transparent dark.
Sephiroth let his lips
run over the soft skin of Cloud's right shoulder, lovingly nipping and leaving
soft kisses while he coaxed his hips to move against his. He wouldn't deny that
he was entranced by what Cloud was offering him right now. He just wished that
he wouldn't have to let it go again.
A loud gasp filled the
room and a soft moan soon followed as positions were being changed, Cloud
finding himself on the covers, his legs wrapping around Sephiroth's waist, his
hands running through his long mane, pulling the light mass to one side so it
didn't interfere. They softly smiled at each other, Cloud's gesture a reminder
of long past times.
"I still don't
understand why you don't tie it up…" Cloud whispered softly.
Sephiroth watched him
for a moment, silently admiring him as he laid there underneath him. He knew of
course that what they were doing right now wouldn't have an effect on their
current situation, though there was no need to deny that the attraction between
them rose every time they were near each other. This was a natural result of
the cramped up desire and denied feelings… He wouldn't ask Cloud for more than
he could give, but he knew that what he felt for him was mutual, although
impossible to act out upon in public.
Sephiroth did not
disclaim his fault as to what happened between them, he also knew that it
wouldn't help Cloud to trust him like he once did. Yet he was ready to accept
whatever he was willing to give him. Even if it was only physical. "You've
always been a part of me, Cloud…"
Cloud felt tears sting
behind his eyes at that and arched as Sephiroth started to move gently, softly
whispering his name again before pulling him down on him for a slow,
tongue-tangling kiss.
When he and Leon had
gone to bed earlier, he hadn't been able to find sleep, his thoughts still
dwelling on his conversation with Sephiroth from earlier that day. It had cost
him a lot of courage to get out of the bed and come up here, but his heart had
longed so badly to be near him again… He couldn't help the way he felt for him,
the attraction never seemed to cease between them. He had told himself that
this could be a one time thing only and that in that way he prevented future
'accidents' by releasing the tension between them now.
"Seph…" Cloud managed, closing his eyes once more and
pulling him closer against him, wanting to feel him deep within as he felt the
pleasure grow. Of course Sephiroth told him that he regretted what happened
between them and that he wanted to try again, but no matter how much Cloud
found himself reminiscing about those times, he always regretted that Sephiroth
had gone and done what he did. He couldn't give him his heart anymore; it was
too late for that.
"Harder…" He
sobbed over his shoulder, rocking against him, fighting back the now
threatening tears.
Sephiroth removed himself
from him at that, turning the blonde over on his stomach before pulling him by
his hips into a hand and knees position, claiming the tight heat of his lover
once more.
Cloud bit his lower lip
so not to cry out, his hands fisting in the covers as he arched his back at the
dull, throbbing pain in his lower back now and the pleasure that was starting
to build itself into an almost unbearable boiling sensation.
Smooth, loving lips
caressed his spine, sending more pleasurable tingles coursing through his body,
making him throw his head back and gasp.
Sephiroth threw his own
head back at the small sounds Cloud made, the soft cries and moans sounding
like music to his ears. It all felt so unbelievable to him and he didn't want
to let it go.
"Seph… please…" Cloud moaned, feeling his peak nearing
with each thrust inside. "I'm so close…"
Three thrusts was all
it took for Sephiroth to feel Cloud shudder under him and muffle his scream as
he came and took him with him as his channel tensed around his manhood.
They collapsed on the
bed, Sephiroth listening to Cloud's ragged breathing with an endeared smile.
For a few moments they didn't move from their position, Sephiroth caressing
circles on Cloud's left shoulder with his thumb, occasionally pressing soft
kisses in the other's neck.
This felt so right, it
seemed so good… Cloud had a smile on his face as he closed his eyes at the
tender ministrations. Yet he knew that he couldn't stay any longer, no matter
how good it felt. He first turned his head to look at Sephiroth from the corner
of his left eye before completely shifting his body so he was on his back.
A soft kiss was shared
between them, both dreading the time for separation that was drawing nearer.
With a lingering nip on Cloud's lower lip Sephiroth let go, moving himself away
so Cloud could stand.
Tying a knot on his
dressing robe now, Cloud watched how Sephiroth approached him and stopped right
in front of him, caressing a few of his locks behind his right ear.
"Thank you,"
The tall white haired one whispered with a soft smile.
Cloud closed his eyes
and pressed a kiss in the palm of Sephiroth's hand stroking his right cheek.
"It's alright…" He opened his eyes and removed the hand caressing his
face gently, "Goodnight, Seph."
Sephiroth watched him
make his way to the door and leave through it; his heart feeling empty once
more as he found himself alone is his large room, bathing in the pale
moonlight.
________________
Sora walked up the last
step of the stairs towards the second floor, holding a bottle of water he had
just gotten himself from the kitchen, when he heard someone descending
the set of stairs coming from the top floor. He waited patiently, wanting to
greet Sephiroth as he came down the stairs, since he hadn't seen him all day
and not wanting to give him the impression that he had wanted to hide from him
by entering his room rapidly.
To his great surprise
though, he saw Cloud descending the stairs in his dressing robe that he held
closely to his body. Sora quickly took a few steps back down the stairs, making
it look like he was just coming from downstairs, reaching the top of the stairs
again just in time as Cloud prepared to descend them.
"Sora." He
looked and sounded a little surprised as he saw the little brunette, "I
thought you were already asleep, how was the concert?"
"It was
great!" Sora whispered back, silently noticing that Cloud was holding his
dressing robe a little closer to him, and constantly tucking his hair back
behind his right ear. "I just went down to get something to drink. Well,
goodnight then."
"Goodnight,"
Cloud nodded and continued his way down as Sora passed him by.
Sora entered his room
and closed the door. Riku was already asleep in their bed. He entered the
covers and placed the bottle of water next to him on his night table. He felt
Riku's right arm pull him down beside him and he quickly turned off his light
before nestling himself in his partner's arms for the night.
As he watched Riku's
face in the little silver light that entered their room, he wondered what he
would've got done if it had been Riku descending those stairs, smelling like
the sex he had had with someone else than him.
He wondered if Cloud
had known how much he would hurt Leon with what he just did and if he even
regretted it all…
"I love you,
Riku," Sora whispered, suddenly feeling the urge to tell him that.
"I love you too, ange," Was Riku's murmured response before falling
asleep again.
With a worried heart
Sora snuggled closer to him and closed his eyes, desperate to find the depths
of a worriless sleep.
