[Voice / Action]

[Backdated to this afternoon, because Akai is slow.]

Hey, Brave Vesperia! I got us a job, if anybody wants to help out. Atsuki's asked if we can build a hang-out spot in the southern half of the village, so people don't have to walk all the way to the plaza just to have some fun. I wanna get started with scouting out the area, but I want to know if anybody's interested in helping out.

Same goes for anyone not in the guild- if you're bored and looking for some hard labour to keep you busy, I won't say no to the help!

[Zack is wandering through the village, doing just what he said- scouting out a spot that would work for the new building. What's most noticeable is that a) he's wearing a brilliant pink shirt and b) he's got a pink bow tied in his hair. Yes, it seems that he took Aerith up on her bet to wear pink like the manly man he is. He's got his journal ready to respond to whatever.]

[Seriously, indeed- and that touch was seriously what Zack needed to finish things up. One, two, and then he's tightening up with a choked shout, because damn if that's not the best orgasm yet.]

[Cloud's grip on Zack's hip slips on sweat at least twice, and it's not until the tail end of Zack's orgasm that Cloud leans over with a gasp, jerking inside of Zack a few more times before lilting to the side and catching himself with his hand on the mattress. His exclamation is breathless and rushed.]

Holy hell.

[..........brb riding the wave; his hand slips free of Cloud's shoulder - nails scratching, and yep, there's bruises in the works - and flops over his eyes as he gasps for air.

HOLY HELL.]

[He hangs his head for a moment; almost drags his hand through his hair before he remembers what's all over it. That seems to remind him of something and Cloud laughs lightly, though still trying to catch his breath so it doesn't last long.]

I should get rusty more often.

[Haaaaaaa. Okay, he's feeling better already - SOLDIER stamina, ever the useful gift - shifting his hand to the side and grinning up at Cloud. He feels like he's half in a daze, but it's an awesome feeling.]

That would mean no sex for a while again.

...yeah, not an even tradeoff. [Cloud pulls away from Zack to roll over and flop lazily on the bed beside him, half-sprawled with a leg and an arm dangling off the edge.]

[Zack laughs and shifts a bit, side bumping up against Cloud's, sort of a relaxed not!cuddle.] ...So you'll come over more now, right?

Yeah.

[And Cloud shifts his shoulder to bump into Zack's.] Sometimes it'll even be for something that isn't screwing you senseless.

That makes me feel so special, I can't even say.

I have a habit of making people feel like that. [He tilts his head to the side, cheek resting against his shoulder as he slides his hand beneath his hair.]

[Zack snorts faintly at that, resting comfortably that way for a while before rolling over and resting his chin on Cloud's chest - not head to shoulder, that would be girly - and peers at him.] Hey, Cloud? What're you gonna do when Seventh Heaven's done?

[Cloud blinks at the question, and slips his hand back from his hair to rest atop Zack's head. His eyes drift to the side as he contemplates, then return to Zack's face when he speaks.] What do you want me to do?

And don't say something like "I want you to do whatever you want to do." I want your answer.

[The words are on his lips as soon as Cloud asks - the default answer, the one he always offers when asked such a thing - and Zack has to turn his head briefly, lips pressed against Cloud's chest to muffle the start of it. His answer? His answer could be complicated, it could come with any number of requests and conditions, ways for Cloud to weave an escape or run away from it or put it off just a little longer. Because that ever-present "someday" has been hanging over their heads for... well, almost years. And he's tired. He's been patient and he's been supportive because he's Cloud, and he loves Cloud, and he'll wait years for Cloud just like Aerith has, just like she waited for him, too.

But he's tired, and Cloud wants an answer. His answer. So finally he says, in a mumble so quiet he knows only someone like Cloud could hear it.]

...I want you here. I want you to live with us. I want... for us to be together.

[It's all he's wanted for a long time, now.]

[Cloud drags his fingers through Zack's hair and hums; he can feel the sound against Zack's chin, in his chest.

As much as he tells himself that it's not choosing between Tifa and these two, he knows it is. And it's about time he stopped pussyfooting around it.]

Then that's what I'll do.

[Zack's quiet again for a long moment, hand sliding over the covers to drift along Cloud's abdomen, finding a scar and tracing it simply to have something to do with his fingers.]

...'m sorry.

[He is, and he isn't; it's something he's been waiting for, but he remembers what happened last time. He didn't Cloud to get hurt like that again.]

No. [He tilts his head back and closes his eyes with a heavy sigh.] ...I need to make decisions. Put aside all that pretty talk about how it's not fair to her, to you, to Aerith, to me...

I need to let her go. [...that hurt a lot more to say than Cloud thought it would. He visibly winces, and his hand tightens a little in Zack's hair. Shit. Shit.

He still loved Tifa Lockhart. He'd thought he was over this; that loving Zack and Aerith was enough. That he'd love them both so much that his feelings for Tifa would go away. But they wouldn't; not like that. Maybe not at all, maybe never. He would have to try it himself, try to put them away...and if it didn't work, live with it.

And he'd have to hurt her to do it.]

[Zack feels that, sees it, and for a moment regrets asking. But there's no helping it. Whatever happens, however this goes down, someone's bound to get hurt. It's not fair. But that's life, isn't it? You can love it with everything you've got in you, but sometimes it just... isn't fair.

...So ironic. He nods, though, and tucks his head in the crook of Cloud's neck, not really giving a damn if it is girly. Cuddles are always good for unhappy moments.]

I'm here for you, Spike. ["I won't leave you hanging."]

[Zack, you girl. He does adjust his arm so it's wrapped around Zack's shoulders though, instead of just digging into his hair. With another sigh, he rests his cheek against Zack's temple.]

I know you are. ...thanks, Zack.

[If you get to screw him you have to deal with his fluffing afterwards. Zack makes a vaguely agreeable sound, quiet for a moment, then grins again, determined now to lighten the mood.]

Yeah, I figure I ought to stick around now that you've managed to prove your epic manliness to me. I think you earned it.

[Cloud lets out a bark of laughter, thumping his hand against Zack's back.] That's real sweet of you Fair. I'm getting teary-eyed.

I'm the most generous guy in the world, y'know. You're one lucky bastard.

I dunno, I think you're getting something pretty good out of this deal.

Like a sore ass?

You say that like it wasn't worth it. [He saw your face Zack, he knows it was totally worth it.]

...You know, I can't even tease you about that. It was pretty awesome.
