We have a slight problem.

Any further plans of taking out Jenova need to be kept from myself, Sephiroth, Angeal, my boys, Ichigo and possibly Yuffie.

Speaking of- Yuffie, have you been hearing anything strange?

...you don't sound so sure.

I'm sure. Just disappointed.

Uh-huh. ....

Yeah.

C'mere.

[Wasn't actually expecting Cloud to do it. Is thus shirtless in the hall, heading for the bathroom to have his shower. :|]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Nope! Against the wall instead.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[ACK SPIKE.]

Whoa!

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[.........now what.]

...why did you take your shirt off.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Hell if he knows.]

I told you I was going to have a shower!

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Then why'd you call for me?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Uh... the experiment?

[Avoid, avoid, avoid.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[...Cloud's tracing the scars lightly now, a weird expression on his face.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack falls silent at that, not sure whether or not to feel self-conscious - there were a lot of them, scattered all over his torso, and they didn't have the best memories linked to them, particularly for Cloud who felt guilty enough already. But he can't read Cloud's expression at all.]

Spike...?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud swallows what he wanted to say -"These are because of me"- and instead just brushes his hands over Zack's chest, almost as if he could wipe them off, like dust.] Nothing.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[This is nice and all, but the scars are old hat for him now and Cloud's hands on his chest is making him really antsy, so he reaches up to grab them, hopefully halting any touching or stroking or jkasdhskjdhf.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Completely and totally on impulse...Cloud ducks his head and brushes his lips against one of the scars instead.]

[KJSHJDSHSKJFHDKJHF CLOUD WHAT THE FUCK]

[Cloud jerks back, eyes slowly lifting to Zack's before grabbing the older man's arm, dragging him into the bathroom and kicking the door shut behind them.

And...going right back to what he had just been doing.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Goddammit. Oh, goddammit. Zack reaches up to wind his fingers through Cloud's hair, sorely tempted to give it a good yank and force him back. But it feels weirdly pleasant and he can't quite bring himself to do it.

Goddammit.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Without lifting his head -lips brushing Zack's skin- Cloud murmurs and reaches over to flick the lock on the door.]

This is nobody's business but ours. I won't feel weird about it later if you promise you won't.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[What. What. What.]

...H... hold on. Spike, you...

[What?]
