Sephiroth
leans against the tree, his eyes closed. Folds his arms over his chestCloud Strife snores softly... his head in Zack's lap
Sephiroth feels Zack's hand on his leg but doesn't open his eyes. Opens his eyes a little and shifts them to see Cloud's head on Zack's lap. Sort of wishes it was his lap Cloud's head was on
Zack mumbles in his sleep
Sephiroth listens to Zack
Zack mutters something about his laundry
Sephiroth puts an arm on Zack and gently pulls his head to his lap
Zack wakes up slightly
Sephiroth looks down at Zack
Zack says, "hey... you woke me up"
Cloud Strife is still sound asleep... although he's rolled off of Zack's lap
Sephiroth says, "go back to sleep then"
Sephiroth reaches over and pulls Cloud to his lap as well
Zack closes his eyes and falls back asleep
Cloud Strife squeaks unhappily... but remains in his slumber
Sephiroth wonders why Cloud would be unhappy in his lap. Strokes Cloud's hair a little
Cloud Strife opens his eyes
Sephiroth puts his arms around the two, pulling them close as he falls back asleep
Cloud Strife looks around for a moment then goes back to sleep... savoring the warm air
Sephiroth sleeps soundly with the two of them in his arms
Sephiroth says, "zzzzz"
Sephiroth cuddles then to his chest, sleeping
Cloud Strife sits up and rubs his eyes
Sephiroth is still asleep... looking like an angel
Cloud Strife looks at the sleeping Sephiroth and sighs
Sephiroth moves his arm out for Cloud
Cloud Strife picks some dandelions and puts them in Sephiroth's hair. Smiles
Sephiroth moves a little... exposing a small part of his folded wings... which he usually keeps hidden under his black cape... but is wearing causal clothing today
Cloud Strife says, "I should leave you two at peace... I prolly just get in the way"
Sephiroth moves his arm out and snags Cloud... pulling him back to his chest
Cloud Strife smiles
Cloud Strife says, "Well... you enjoy my company I guess.... But you two were a couple first.... It don’t work three ways does it..."
Cloud Strife snuggles against Sephiroth's chest... breathing in the soft scent of his cologne
Sephiroth yawns waking up a little
Zack is somewhat ousted from Seph's lap by Cloud's presence
Sephiroth kisses Cloud's forehead
Cloud Strife smiles
Sephiroth says, "have a nice nap?"
Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... its so nice and warm out here... too bad Midgar has no place like this..."
Sephiroth says, "yeah... I don't like Midgar that much"
Cloud Strife sighs
Sephiroth stretches his exposed wing a little
Cloud Strife says, "Do we gotta go back? This leave is just too nice..."
Sephiroth says, "I wish we didn't... I prefer causal clothing... but I can't wear it in public"
Sephiroth strokes his fingers through Cloud's hair then looks down at Zack
Cloud Strife says, "Then lets not"
Sephiroth says, "oh?"
Zack yawns and rubs his cheek against Sephiroth's thigh
Sephiroth smiles down at Zack and strokes his hair
Sephiroth says, "I'd be lonely without you two"
Cloud Strife says, "You just met me"
Sephiroth says, "not just Cloud..."
Sephiroth pulls Cloud into his lap with one hand as he strokes Zack's hair with the other
Cloud Strife sighs in contentment
Zack bites Sephiroth's thigh lightly
Sephiroth smiles at Zack
Sephiroth says, "being feisty there sweetie?"
Zack says, "No... I’m just biting you"
Sephiroth says, "why?"
Zack sits up and shrugs
Sephiroth pulls Zack to him as well
Cloud Strife looks at Zack then at Seph
Cloud Strife says, "Seph. I don’t really belong... "
Sephiroth says, "why not Cloud? I love you two"
Cloud Strife says, "Cuz you an Zack... are already together. I feel like I’m butting in"
Sephiroth says, "He likes you allot though"
Sephiroth stands up, hugging them both tightly
Zack bites Sephiroth
Sephiroth looks at Zack
Sephiroth says, "what was that for?"
Zack shrugs
Sephiroth lets go of them both and looks at the ground... noting a feather
Sephiroth says, "hmm... am I shedding?"
Cloud Strife picks up the feather and puts it in his hair
Sephiroth smiles
Zack says, "Hmm... We should take you to the Vet Seph... you might have French molt"
Sephiroth says, "that looks good in your hair... please don't pluck me though"
Sephiroth looks at Zack
Sephiroth says, "what the hell do you mean?"
Zack says, "Well geez... like a human doctor is gonna know what to do with wings"
Sephiroth says, "I meant what do you think I have?"
Zack says, "Well the shafts of your feathers get filled with fluid and they drop out... an don’t grow back. I doubt you got it... unless you’re a bird"
Sephiroth says, "I'm not a bird"
Sephiroth un-folds his wings and looks at them
Cloud Strife reaches out to touch one of the wings
Sephiroth flaps them a few times... smiling when no more feathers drop out
Cloud Strife smiles at the breeze created by the wings
Sephiroth ruffles both Cloud and Zack's hair
Sephiroth says, "well... at least neither of you two let anyone know I have wings... do you know how many of them would be after me?"
Zack says, "They'd put you in a freak show and make people pay to see you... heeeey that’s not a bad idea"
Sephiroth says, "hey!"
Sephiroth pulls Zack to him and gives him a look
Zack says, "well... we don’t wanna go back to Midgar right?"
Sephiroth says, "right. So, then what do we do?"
Cloud Strife says, "Go back to sleep?"
Sephiroth pulls his wings around the two
Zack says, "Do you only think of the here and now?"
Sephiroth kisses them each on the forehead
Sephiroth says, "other then sleep. What shall we do if not back to Midgar?"
Zack shrugs
Zack says, "Find some place to hole up in. A nice little love nest... hmm?"
Sephiroth says, "yeah"
Sephiroth folds his wings back and moves his hand behind him to cover them up again
Zack says, "For 2...."
Sephiroth says, "2?"
Zack says, "Yeah... lose the kid... he'll slow us down"
Sephiroth folds his arms and frowns
Sephiroth says, "I thought you loved the kid"
Cloud Strife frowns
Sephiroth says, "I love the kid"
Zack says, "You didn’t say the kid was gonna become permanent"
Sephiroth gives Zack a nasty look
Cloud Strife sniffles
Sephiroth moves out his arm and pulls Cloud to his chest
Sephiroth says, "I love you too Zack"
Zack shakes his head
Zack says, "Not with your whole heart... "
Sephiroth says, "Meaning?"
Zack says, "You can’t give your whole heart to both of us... you gotta split it up..."
Sephiroth says, "I feel a great deal of love for the both of you"
Zack sits down in the grass and plucks it blade by blade
Sephiroth says, "Zack?"
Zack says, "IM going back to Midgar... have fun"
Sephiroth says, "You are Zack?"
Zack says, "Yeah..."
Sephiroth says, "why sweetie?"
Zack says, "Don’t call me that "
Sephiroth sighs
Sephiroth says, "now you are mad with me"
Zack says, "mad...."
Sephiroth says, "why? Zack... why are you mad with me?"
Sephiroth frowns, still holding Cloud
Zack says, "Cuz... Go head... "
Sephiroth says, "if some one loved something with all their heart how could they love anything else... even themselves?"
Zack says, "I don’t wanna listen to your sap anymore.... You’ve found a replacement... stop trying to draw out my agony"
Sephiroth says, "... I thought you loved him too"
Zack says, "He's cute.... I will admit that… but I gave my heart to you Seph..."
Sephiroth says, "but I do love you"
Zack says, "Then why is the kid in your arms?"
Sephiroth says, "because you are sitting on the ground being a grump"
Zack says, "Humph"
Sephiroth says, "stand up and I'll cuddle you as well"
Zack says, "I don’t wanna be cuddled"
Sephiroth sighs
Sephiroth says, "then what do you want?"
Zack says, "I want you back"
Sephiroth says, "you still have me"
Zack shakes his head. Stands and walks down to the lake
Sephiroth says, "I want what I have... the both of you"
Zack says, "This was all a bad idea...."
Sephiroth says, "what was?"
Sephiroth follows after Zack, taking Cloud's arm and pulling him with him
Cloud Strife follows along quietly
Zack kicks off his shoes and wades into the water... heading for a small cluster of lounging rocks
Sephiroth looks at Zack
Sephiroth says, "what are you doing?"
Zack ignores Sephiroth and climbs onto one of the rocks... stretching out to lie in the sun just a bit longer
Sephiroth sighs and looks at Cloud
Sephiroth says, "can you explain to me why people act this way?"
Cloud Strife shakes his head
Cloud Strife says, "He's mad about me it seems"
Sephiroth cuddles Cloud to his chest
Sephiroth says, "I want him to get over it"
Cloud Strife says, "Leave him alone for a bit an he'll come crawling back?"
Sephiroth says, "maybe... I think I want to get inside..."
Sephiroth looks at Cloud
Sephiroth says, "does that work for you?"
Cloud Strife shrugs
Sephiroth picks Cloud up
Sephiroth says, "ok.... Back to the cabin... hopefully Zack will come to his senses and join us"
Sephiroth carries Cloud back to the cabin that the three are staying in
Cloud Strife says, "Cant we just stay here Seph?"
Sephiroth says, "why not"
Cloud Strife says, "Clean air... sun... I haven’t felt this good since I came to Midgar"
Sephiroth closes the door and kisses him
Sephiroth says, "yes"
Sephiroth sets Cloud down and pulls off his shirt
Sephiroth says, "ah... I feel better now"
Sephiroth stretches out his wings
Sephiroth says, "so Cloud, can I do anything for you?"
Cloud Strife says, "Do you think Zack is gonna come back?"
Sephiroth says, "I hope so"
Sephiroth pulls his wings around Cloud
Cloud Strife says, "Why do you have wings?"
Sephiroth says, "I don't know... I was born with them"
Cloud Strife says, "Do they work?"
Sephiroth says, "yes"
Cloud Strife says, "Wow"
Cloud Strife examines the soft feathers
Cloud Strife says, "I wish I had wings... it'd be neat to fly around"
Sephiroth says, "I always wonder what it's like for you all not to have them"
Cloud Strife says, "I can’t tell you... since I've never had them..."
Cloud Strife kisses Sephiroth
Sephiroth kisses back
Sephiroth says, "must make shirts more comfortable"
Cloud Strife says, "Well you look nice without your shirt... and out here in the woods... nobody's gonna notice"
Sephiroth says, "I hope not"
Cloud Strife says, "It can be just the three of us... we can live off the land... I think"
Sephiroth says, "yes. I used to when I was very small. I can't remember anything before I was about 5... I think that's how old I was… I remember I used to wander woods... killing for my food. And I some how knew I could not let others know I had wings... so when I finally came to the cities I covered them up with cloaks"
Cloud Strife says, "Well... would you stay in the woods again to be with Zack and I? I’m strong... I can chip in...."
Sephiroth says, "yes"
Sephiroth cuddles Cloud to him
Zack sulks on his rock... getting a nasty sunburn but not really caring
Cloud Strife says, "You love me... right Seph?"
Sephiroth picks him up and carries him to the bed
Sephiroth says, "yes. I love Zack as well. I love the both of you"
Sephiroth lays him down and kisses him sweetly
Cloud Strife says, "Why doesn’t he love me?"
Sephiroth says, "I don't know... maybe because it's hard for him to see that I can love more then one at the same time and he'd rather have me for himself alone"
Cloud Strife says, "Oh... well maybe I should go then... I can make it on my own"
Sephiroth sighs, frowning a little
Sephiroth says, "but, I don't want that"
Cloud Strife says, "I don’t want it either... but he was here first"
Sephiroth says, "I want you here"
Cloud Strife says, "I want to be here... I want you to teach me to be a lover"
Sephiroth caresses the side of his face gently
Sephiroth says, "I want to teach you"
Sephiroth kisses his lips gently
Sephiroth says, "you want to learn everything?"
Cloud Strife says, "Yes"
Sephiroth kisses him more passionately and presses his shoulders together
Cloud Strife says, "Its... kinda... nice we got sent on leave together... we woulda never met... if that hadnt happened"
Sephiroth says, "I suppose"
Sephiroth nuzzles his neck and spreads his wings out over the bed like a blanket
Sephiroth says, "and when you found my secrete?"
Cloud Strife says, "I... was... a little scared at first really"
Sephiroth says, "really? Tell me about it"
Cloud Strife says, "I.... Thought you were an angel..."
Sephiroth says, "and that scared you?"
Cloud Strife nods
Cloud Strife says, "I didn’t know... what to think"
Sephiroth says, "When I look around the world... I wonder if I'm the only one... and I wonder who my parents were and where I come from"
Sephiroth kisses the side of his neck
Cloud Strife smiles
Cloud Strife says, "I’ve never seen anything like you before"
Sephiroth says, "nor have I... maybe I was abandoned or something as a child cause I was different"
Cloud Strife says, "But you are beautiful"
Sephiroth smiles and kisses him deeply
Sephiroth says, "Thank you"
Cloud Strife says, "Show me Seph... so can show Zack.... "
Sephiroth slips off Cloud's shirt and places his fingers to his chest
Cloud Strife says, "I wanna show him... that IM not here to get in the way... but to love him as well"
Sephiroth smiles
Sephiroth says, "that would be great"
Sephiroth kisses Cloud's chest
Sephiroth says, "I'll show you how to be a lover... and hopefully Zack will learn to love you as well"
Cloud Strife smiles
Cloud Strife says, "and I can use it to love you as well"
Sephiroth takes his time... and shows Cloud many things. Making him feel wonderful in the process... and raps him in his wings after he finishes
Cloud Strife traces his fingers along Sephiroth's body... his eyes lidded and sleepy looking
Cloud Strife says, "I can... see why Zack wants you for himself"
Sephiroth says, "but think of what can happen with three.... If two feel this good?"
Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... does he realize that?"
Sephiroth says, "I don't think so"
Zack wakes up and notes the sun is setting... and winces at his sunburned skin
Sephiroth cradles Cloud in his wings as he lies on his back
Zack staggers into the cabin and heads for the kitchen... his skin beet red wherever he wasn’t wearing clothing
Sephiroth blinks
Sephiroth says, "Zack... you here?"
Zack is standing with his head stuck in the freezer
Sephiroth kisses Cloud's forehead
Sephiroth says, "Zack?"
Zack says, "what?"
Sephiroth says, "where are you?"
Zack says, "kitchen..."
Sephiroth says, "why are you there rather in bed?"
Zack says, "... The bed is full...."
Sephiroth says, "it is not. Plenty of room for you"
Sephiroth looks at Cloud... hoping maybe he will go get Zack
Zack says, "I'm sleeping on the couch... "
Sephiroth says, "please don't do that"
Zack comes into the bedroom and snags a blanket and a pillow
Zack says, "I really don’t wanna be touched at all right now..."
Sephiroth says, "I'm sorry"
Sephiroth cuddles Cloud to his chest... watching Zack sadly
Zack winces as he slips out of his clothing
Zack says, "Owie owie owie.... "
Sephiroth says, "please be careful sweetie"
Zack says, "We got any aloe Vera gel?"
Sephiroth says, "hmmm, I think so. Check the bathroom"
Zack says, "I got... burnt to a crisp"
Zack goes into the bathroom and fishes in the cabinets
Sephiroth says, "you should have joined us Zack... Cloud wants to love you too and you would not have gotten burnt"
Sephiroth yawns and falls asleep
Zack grumbles
Cloud Strife goes into the bathroom and helps Zack find the gel... then applies it to him... even though he grumbles and threatens
Sephiroth shifts onto his stomach as he sleeps... since Cloud is no longer in his wings
Cloud Strife gets back into bed with Sephiroth.... And leaves Zack to his own decision
Sephiroth says, "zzzzz"
Cloud Strife uses Sephiroth's wing as a blanket
Sephiroth sleeps like this through the night
Zack sleeps in a miserable ball on the floor
Zack gently shakes Sephiroth... holding the tube of gel in his hand
Sephiroth opens his eyes and turns his head to look up at Zack. Sits up on his knees... folding up his wings
Zack says, "Umm... could you please... help me?"
Sephiroth smiles
Sephiroth says, "sure sweetie"
Sephiroth takes the gel
Sephiroth says, "sit down"
Zack sits down on the bed
Sephiroth puts the gel in his hands and applies it to Zack's burns
Zack croons softly as this feels quite good
Sephiroth says, "Zack... can you find any room in your heart for Cloud?"
Zack says, "He did help me last night... "
Sephiroth says, "he wants to love you. And for you to love him"
Zack says, "Gimme time Seph..."
Sephiroth smiles
Sephiroth says, "please do..."
Zack says, "I'm not like you... hopping in the sack with a complete stranger..."
Sephiroth says, "Cloud is not a stranger"
Zack sighs
Zack says, "I just really don’t wanna share you"
Sephiroth says, "why?"
Zack says, "Cuz I love you"
Sephiroth says, "I love you too. Please... love Cloud as well... I love him too"
Zack sighs
Zack says, "IM gonna go swimming in that shady cove... the cool water'll soothe my burns... have fun"
Sephiroth says, "alright"
Zack says, "Then I gotta pack to go back"
Sephiroth says, "go back? I thought we were staying?"
Zack says, "To Midgar"
Zack shakes his head
Sephiroth sighs
Zack says, "IM gonna let the obviously better man have you"
Sephiroth says, "fine... we'll go back"
Zack says, "You are staying here... I'm going back"
Sephiroth says, "you can't order me around Zack.... I have higher authority"
Zack says, "Well you are staying here with the kid.... Got me?"
Sephiroth says, "why?"
Zack says, "Cuz you wanna stay"
Sephiroth says, "I want to be with you too... unless you are leaving me... us..."
Zack says, "you don’t want me no more..."
Sephiroth says, "yes I do"
Zack says, "don’t lie to make me feel better"
Sephiroth sighs to himself and lays back down on the bed
Zack takes Sephiroth's hand into his own
Sephiroth holds his hand
Sephiroth says, "You're gonna leave me?"
Zack sits for a long time... in silence... holding Sephiroth's hand
Sephiroth says, "Zack?"
Zack says, "Seph... I don’t wanna leave... but... its best I do... so I don’t hurt you an the kid"
Sephiroth sits up and hangs his head
Sephiroth says, "I love you"
Zack puts his arms around Sephiroth and begins to cry
Sephiroth holds Zack, closing his eyes
Zack says, "I'll be back... just.... There’s something I gotta do back in Midgar"
Sephiroth says, "and what's that sweetie?"
Zack says, "I met a girl... she's a good friend.... And she'd be very worried if I disappeared.... Since being AWOL means no writing letters to give away our position... I wanna go and tell her. And it'll give me some time to cool off"
Sephiroth says, "alright Zack.... But, we are just on vacation... not AWOL yet"
Zack says, "I'll wait till our leave is officially over then... okay?"
Sephiroth says, "okay"
Zack says, "unless you think I should go now... so they cant pick me up for being AWOL..."
Sephiroth says, "you should go now then"
Zack kisses Sephiroth’s ear
Sephiroth wonders if Zack will return... if he is just saying this. Smiles a little
Sephiroth brushes his feathers over Cloud... waking him up by accident
Cloud Strife swats at Sephiroth's wing
Sephiroth says, "Cloud... you awake?"
Cloud Strife says, "Mmm? Yeah... IM awake"
Cloud Strife smiles sleepily
Sephiroth pulls Cloud into his lap and kisses Zack
Zack ruffles Cloud's hair
Zack says, "Now... Cloud you take care of Seph while I'm gone... I promise I'll be back... so don’t get to think you'll have him all to yourself..."
Zack smiles faintly
Sephiroth smiles and kisses Zack again
Zack nuzzles at Sephiroth's neck... kissing him along his collar softly
Sephiroth smiles and strokes Zack's hair
Zack says, "Just don’t come looking for me if I do happen to get nabbed"
Sephiroth says, "ok"
Sephiroth strokes Zack's cheek
Zack says, "I'll leave tomorrow"
Sephiroth smiles more and lays down, dragging Zack and Cloud with him
Sephiroth says, "I love you both... I want to keep you both... and, I want you two to love one another"
Zack says, "I'll try"
Sephiroth says, "Cloud... what do you think?"
Cloud Strife says, "I want Zack to be happy"
Cloud Strife climbs over to the other side of Zack... so he is between Sephiroth and himself
Sephiroth kisses Zack
Cloud Strife snuggles up against Zack's side
Zack sighs and relaxes... knowing protesting this would be a big lie
Sephiroth says, "you'll try Zack? He seems to be trying a lot"
Zack says, "Yeah... I’ll give the kid a shot"
Sephiroth kisses them both and smiles
