[Cloud's outside, doing what he does best. Brooding.

He'll be out and around town after brooding in the hammock in front of House 50 for a while. Stop at your own risk.]

You have no cold tolerance. I'm surprised you didn't whine the whole time in Modeoheim. [SHUFFLING inside.]

[wingenvy]

That's not true! I just prefer to be comfortable when I'm not working. [Yaaaaay, sweet warmth.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Yeah, whatever. [Imagining Zack having a "professional" side is a little difficult, so Cloud's just going to...not do it. ...maybe get some coffee. Beeline for the kitchen.]

[wingenvy]

[Following. What the heck are you doing, you brooding nutter.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Oi, making coffee. Not brooding. Want some?]

[wingenvy]

[Yeah, sure. You addict.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Okay here have a mug. On the countertop. ...not handing it to you. Kind of...just...leaving it there, moving over here to have own coffee. Fff.]

[wingenvy]

[That is so lazy man. Grabbing that cup himself then dammit.]

So... where do we go from here?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Incredulous look.]

You're asking me?

[wingenvy]

You're the one who's still uncomfortable with all of this. Wouldn't it be better if we moved at your pace?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Moving. Um.

...oh Holy, that's right. A threesome is a threesome, but it's still a relationship. Just...kind of. Two of them. With Aerith and-

...f-fff, one with Zack. Oh man. Oh boy. Oh Holy Alexander.]

[wingenvy]

If it helps any, it's not like I'm gonna go around calling you my boyfriend.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't really worried about that. [What the hell's the big deal, Strife? You've kissed him for Holy's sake. You practically molested him during the Valentine's Day experiment. Stop being such a damn pansy.

...but don't be gay. I'm not gay.]

[wingenvy]

...Can I be up-front about it?

[And hopefully not completely offensive.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Up-front about what? [He honestly does not know.]

[wingenvy]

It's sexual tension.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[An honest-to-God spittake. Luckily Cloud was in front of the sink.]

[wingenvy]

[And Zack is totally serious, but he can't help but crack a smile at that. Oh Cloud. So predictable.]

KEYWORDS.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cough cough cough, napkin-

Okay, WHAT. Gaping at and trying so, so hard not to turn red. Probably failing.]

LOLOL.

[wingenvy]

[Patting his back now. Don't choke, bb.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[He flinches a bit. S-sexual tension.

Okay. So.

...sex. With. ...a guy. Oh fucking Holy in a handbasket, Shiva's tits, Ifrit's balls and all those other colorful phrases you say when you have no idea what else to say.

Sex. With another guy. What. No. But. Okay but he...well he... Okay so he's not denying l-

...h-having feelings for Zack, but he hadn't even let himself consider this aspect. Sex. With another guy. With Zack. Who is another guy. Oh God what would his mother think.]

[wingenvy]

[Juuuuust waiting. Wait it out, Spike, wait it out.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[...nope, brainstall. Cloud's train of thought goes no further. He just-

It.]

I...I kind of pictured myself...I mean. ...I didn't really...think about...that part. Yet. So.

[wingenvy]

Well. Now that the hard part's over, we probably won't argue about it as much anymore. I just thought it was worth telling you what the problem is.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[So if it's sexual tension, then...that means he's going to jump away like a little rabbit each time Zack touches him until they-

Ffffff. Cloud didn't know what was worse; that apparently this problem wouldn't be solved until he worked up the nerve to actually sleep with Zack -who is ANOTHER GUY- or that he wasn't all that opposed to the id-

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.]

...I'm not gay. I'm not. You're an exception. Or something. Zack, tell me I'm not gay.
