Rufus Shinra wakes up and blinks

Cloud Strife is still sleeping peacefully

Rufus Shinra sighs, and continues to lay on top of Cloud, unsure what to do next. Closes his eyes, trying to relax

Cloud Strife shifts a little... beginning to wake up

Rufus Shinra lifts up and looks Cloud over

Cloud Strife rolls over onto his side... stretching

Rufus Shinra gets up. Stretches out as he gets his clothing on

Cloud Strife opens his eyes and yawns

Rufus Shinra says, "have a good night?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... had a wonderful night"

Rufus Shinra tries to not let Cloud know any of the truth. Pulls out a false smile that looks real enough

Rufus Shinra says, "that's good"

Rufus Shinra goes to his side

Cloud Strife looks up at Rufus... smiling

Rufus Shinra puts an arm around him

Rufus Shinra says, "so, what do you want to do now?"

Cloud Strife leans into Rufus' warm side

Cloud Strife says, "What’s there to do?"

Rufus Shinra says, "well, I do have some work to do now that my father is dead... I have to head for Junon and give a speech...."

Cloud Strife kisses Rufus

Cloud Strife says, "when do we leave for Junon?"

Rufus Shinra kisses back

Rufus Shinra says, "as soon as possible"

Cloud Strife says, "Well all I have is the clothes on my back... so I dont need to pack or anything... course they are my clothes on the floor now..."

Rufus Shinra chuckles a little

Rufus Shinra says, "ok, that's a good thing I suppose. We should get going"

Cloud Strife caresses Rufus' cheek

Rufus Shinra smiles slightly

Cloud Strife says, "We gotta go now?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes, regrettably"

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "Alright"

Cloud Strife gets up and picks up his clothes from the floor

Rufus Shinra says, "come on, we have to go to my chopper"

Cloud Strife dresses slowly... wondering why Rufus is all so suddenly uptight

Rufus Shinra goes to the door

Rufus Shinra says, "come on, we have to hurry"

Rufus Shinra looks at his watch

Cloud Strife says, "Alright I’m coming"

Rufus Shinra leads Cloud to his chopper. Gets in and waits for him

Cloud Strife climbs into the chopper

Rufus Shinra starts the chopper up

Cloud Strife sits down and straps himself in

Rufus Shinra streaks off toward Junon. Lands on the port after a few hours of silence and gets out. Looks to Cloud

Cloud Strife gets up... feeling a bit shaky

Rufus Shinra says, "are you alright?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... I just get motion sick sometimes"

Rufus Shinra nods and offers him a hand"

Cloud Strife takes Rufus hand

Rufus Shinra pulls him down gently

Cloud Strife jumps down and puts his arms around Rufus when he lands on his feet

Rufus Shinra hugs him to his chest

Cloud Strife nuzzles at Rufus' neck.... Happy that he's being paid attention to now

Rufus Shinra kisses his cheek

Rufus Shinra says, "come on, let's get settled"

Cloud Strife says, "okay"

Rufus Shinra takes his hand and leads him off to his room. Shuts the door. Leans his head on the door

Cloud Strife looks around the room

Rufus Shinra stands there for several moments.... Very quiet

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus? What’s wrong? Is.... it me?"

Rufus Shinra blinks and comes out of it, smiling at Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "of course not"

Cloud Strife says, "you’re so quiet"

Rufus Shinra says, "sorry about that"

Rufus Shinra goes to Cloud and puts his arms around him

Cloud Strife snuggles into Rufus' arms

Rufus Shinra smiles and kisses the top of his head

Cloud Strife says, "You gotta write a speech?"

Rufus Shinra says, "not right now"

Rufus Shinra kisses his cheek

Rufus Shinra says, "what do you want?"

Cloud Strife says, "I’m a little hungry... we left without eating"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh, I should get you some food"

Rufus Shinra goes to the kitchen and pulls some stuff out of the fridge. Prepares it cold cause it's supposed to be and brings it back to him

Cloud Strife says, "Aren’t you gonna eat?"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh, of course"

Cloud Strife gets some food on his fork and offers it to Rufus

Rufus Shinra smiles and takes it

Cloud Strife says, "I guess you were quiet on the chopper so you could concentrate driving it"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes… it takes a lot of concentration to fly"

Cloud Strife kisses Rufus' cheek

Rufus Shinra kisses back

Cloud Strife sets to eating... giving Rufus a forkful here and there

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "thank you"

Rufus Shinra cuddles Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "I’m so happy I could burst.... It’s so strange... I went from being depressed to blissfully happy Cuz of you"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "why were you depressed?"

Rufus Shinra traces his finger along Cloud's cheek

Cloud Strife says, "I’m not even sure of that"

Rufus Shinra cuddles Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "no more depression"

Cloud Strife cuddles back

Rufus Shinra slips his arms around Cloud's neck and kisses his cheek

Cloud Strife smiles

Rufus Shinra rests his head on Cloud's shoulder

Cloud Strife says, "I love you... you’re so cute"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "You are so loveable... and I love you too"

Rufus Shinra cuddles against him

Cloud Strife says, "So now that you are the prez... whatcha gonna do?"

Cloud Strife says, "Just you and that cute little smile of yours. I’m happy that way"

Rufus Shinra smiles cutely

Rufus Shinra says, "that's very good"

Cloud Strife smiles and pinches Rufus' cheeks

Rufus Shinra smiles more and licks Cloud's nose. Lays his head on Cloud's chest and listens to his heart

Cloud Strife smiles and strokes his fingers through Rufus' hair... savoring this tender moment

Rufus Shinra says, "I've never had it this good before"

Cloud Strife says, "Never?"

Rufus Shinra says, "nope"

Rufus Shinra cuddles Cloud tightly

Cloud Strife says, "What happened?"

Rufus Shinra says, "happened?"

Cloud Strife says, "You’re cute... smart... and got good aim... how come you had a bad life?"

Rufus Shinra says, "... my father...."

Rufus Shinra frowns and closes his eyes

Cloud Strife says, "He never let you have any fun?"

Rufus Shinra nods

Cloud Strife says, "I never knew my dad"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh"

Rufus Shinra continues to rest his head on Cloud's chest

Cloud Strife says, "I kinda wish I had at times. woulda liked to known what kinda person he was and stuff"

Rufus Shinra says, "I never knew my real mom.... She died when I was born"

Cloud Strife says, "Musta been harder than growing up not knowing your dad"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah.... Since I didn't like my dad"

Cloud Strife says, "He was a big jerk wasn’t he?"

Rufus Shinra says, "..."

Rufus Shinra gives him a blank look

Cloud Strife says, "I say something wrong?"

Rufus Shinra says, "no. It’s ok"

Cloud Strife says, "well I’m sorry anyway"

Rufus Shinra snuggles into him

Rufus Shinra says, "don't be..."

Cloud Strife says, "Shh... you don’t have to put my feelings before yours"

Rufus Shinra says, "it's still ok"

Cloud Strife hugs Rufus

Rufus Shinra hugs back

Cloud Strife says, "You gonna stop using Mako?"

Rufus Shinra looks at him

Rufus Shinra says, "hmm?"

Cloud Strife says, "Barret said its killing the planet"

Rufus Shinra says, "it is?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... ever notice how nothing grows in Midgar?"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh.... yes, I saw that"

Cloud Strife says, "All the life is getting sucked out by the mako reactors"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh, then something must be done"

Rufus Shinra cuddles him

Cloud Strife says, "Course people are gonna get mad Cuz you’re taking their electricity away"

Rufus Shinra says, "That's why a new choice of power is needed"

Cloud Strife says, "Well you have a bunch of scientists working on stupid stuff.. why don’t you assign them that?"

Rufus Shinra says, "ok, sounds good to me"

Rufus Shinra caresses Cloud's cheek

Cloud Strife smiles

Rufus Shinra cuddles him

Cloud Strife says, "I’m glad you didn’t wanna fight me... and showed me how you felt"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... people shouldn't fight"

Cloud Strife purrs

Rufus Shinra kisses him gently

Rufus Shinra says, "you are so sweet too"

Cloud Strife says, "I think this is how I've always been"

Rufus Shinra says, "then stay this way"

Cloud Strife says, "I will. You expect me to turn into a monster?"

Cloud Strife growls playfully and bites Rufus

Rufus Shinra moves over him and smiles

Cloud Strife says, "or are you the monster?"

Cloud Strife smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "me?"

Cloud Strife tickles Rufus

Rufus Shinra giggles and smiles some more

Cloud Strife says, "I definitely can not be happier"

Rufus Shinra says, "really?"

Rufus Shinra reaches under Cloud's shirt and caresses his chest

Cloud Strife closes his eyes and smiles

Cloud Strife says, "really.. I haven’t been this happy I think.. in my whole life"

Rufus Shinra says, "me too"

Rufus Shinra continues to caress his chest gently

Cloud Strife gets a blissful expression on his face from his lover's touch

Rufus Shinra smiles, seeing the look of bliss, and works on making him continue it

Cloud Strife says, "That feels so nice... all you have to do is be near me and I’m instantly happy"

Rufus Shinra says, "That makes me so happy to hear"

Rufus Shinra leans down and kisses his lips gently

Cloud Strife puts his hand to the back of Rufus' head and holds him in the kiss

Rufus Shinra seizes his lips and drinks of them

Cloud Strife savors the kiss... running his free hand along Rufus' back

Rufus Shinra continues to kisses Cloud, running his tongue along Cloud's teeth. His hands travel Cloud's chest, feeling every curve

Cloud Strife clumsily unbuttons Rufus' jacket and slips his hand into the turtleneck beneath

Rufus Shinra smiles as they kiss.... growing more passionate by the second

Cloud Strife says, "Mm.. I’m getting all worked up... you just do so much for me"

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm getting worked up as well.... you are so gentle with me and just too look at you and touch you makes me feel so very good"

Cloud Strife smiles and works Rufus's shirt off

Rufus Shinra takes Cloud's shirt off and kisses his beautiful chest

Cloud Strife lazily traces his fingers along Rufus' chest

Rufus Shinra cuddles Cloud then notes that there is a pikachu sitting on the desk, watching them

Cloud Strife says, "Eew... a rat"

Rufus Shinra says, "an electric mouse actually"

Cloud Strife says, "Rat mouse... what’s the difference?"

Rufus Shinra says, "size"

Cloud Strife says, "true. It’s a really big electric rat"

Rufus Shinra looks up at the ceiling and notes a sleeping zubat

Rufus Shinra says, "I think my pokemon got loose...."

Cloud Strife pulls a blanket over his head

Cloud Strife says, "Oh I don’t like them...."

Rufus Shinra says, "why not?"

Cloud Strife shivers

Rufus Shinra says, "Cloud.... you ok?"

Cloud Strife says, "I don’t like those things... make em go away"

Rufus Shinra frowns a second but nods. gets up from the bed and walks over to the pikachu which is cleaning it's self. pats the pikachu on the head then scopes it up. puts the pikachu in a pokeball then looks up at the zubat. takes out another pokeball and tosses it at the zubat... catching it

Rufus Shinra says, "ok... they're gone"

Cloud Strife sniffles

Cloud Strife says, "You sure?"

Rufus Shinra nods and looks at him after putting the pokeballs away in the closet. goes back over to Cloud.... still with a sad frown on his face

Cloud Strife keeps the blanket over his head

Rufus Shinra pulls the blanket off of Cloud's face

Cloud Strife looks at Rufus...

Cloud Strife says, "I’m sorry Rufus... they just scare me"

Rufus Shinra says, "Why do they scare you?"

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Cloud Strife says, "I dunno"

Rufus Shinra looks down at the floor

Cloud Strife says, "What’s wrong Rufus?"

Rufus Shinra turns to him

Rufus Shinra says, "Pokemon used to be my only friends...."

Cloud Strife says, "I’m sorry... I’m scared.... I'll try"

Rufus Shinra smiles again and hugs him tightly

Rufus Shinra says, "one must conquer fear"

Cloud Strife snuggles against Rufus

Cloud Strife says, "I prefer not to"

Rufus Shinra says, "why?"

Cloud Strife says, "I ... don’t know"

Rufus Shinra cuddles him

Rufus Shinra says, "do not be afraid... I shall protect you"

Rufus Shinra smiles in a way he never has before

Cloud Strife buries his head in Rufus' chest

Rufus Shinra kisses his spiky hair

Rufus Shinra says, "you ok sweetie?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... just wish I knew why I was scared of them things"

Rufus Shinra says, "Well, of one kind I can understand, but all of them?"

Cloud Strife sniffles

Rufus Shinra says, "like people are scared of Charizard or dragonite..... but something like a meowth? that's basically a cat"

Cloud Strife squinches into Rufus' lap

Cloud Strife says, "Can we not talk about pokemon?"

Rufus Shinra smiles and holds him

Rufus Shinra says, "alright sweetie... what do you want talk about?"

Cloud Strife seems to be trying to climb into Rufus ... acting very paranoid

Rufus Shinra cuddles him in a protective way

Cloud Strife relaxes

Cloud Strife says, "I wanna know why you keep those things"

Rufus Shinra says, "They were my only friends growing up... my only really hobby other then sharp shooting"

Cloud Strife says, "I didn’t have any hobbies... that I remember. I don’t think I had friends when I was little"

Cloud Strife sighs

Rufus Shinra says, "none? I had no friends... just my pokemon"

Cloud Strife shrugs

Cloud Strife says, "I don’t remember anything. I coulda been born 3 weeks ago and I wouldn’t know"

Rufus Shinra blinks

Rufus Shinra says, "really? How is it you know your name then?"

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "Pretty much all I know about myself is my name.... And what Tifa has told me about myself as a kid"

Rufus Shinra says, "well, I suppose one day you will remember it all... or maybe it was best left in the past"

Cloud Strife says, "I wonder if I’m even the person Tifa remembers?"

Rufus Shinra says, "in any case, you are a person and I shall protect you"

Rufus Shinra raises his eyebrow as he notices that his ekans is slithering up the bedpost

Rufus Shinra says, "oh dear... hold on a second"

Rufus Shinra reaches under the bed and takes out another pokeball and places the ekans in it

Cloud Strife shivers

Cloud Strife says, "What was that?"

Rufus Shinra says, "an ekans"

Cloud Strife tries to crawl under Rufus

Rufus Shinra says, "Shh... I will protect you"

Rufus Shinra takes the blanket and gently raps it around Cloud

Cloud Strife sniffles

Rufus Shinra says, "I swear, I will not let harm come to you sweetie"

Cloud Strife is shaking like a leaf

Rufus Shinra puts his arms protectively around him... and oddly Cloud starts to feel calm ... as if something has gone into him to sooth him

Cloud Strife sniffles and relaxes.. feeling strangely soothed

Rufus Shinra places his hand to Cloud's face... his touch tender and oddly relaxing... though it feels strangely different from the erotic touch of earlier

Cloud Strife closes his eyes... feeling completely relaxed

Cloud Strife says, "who am I?"

Rufus Shinra says, "Does that matter? What do you know about who you are? Who you are is in your heart"

Cloud Strife says, "I still wanna know. Why am I obsessed with Sephiroth? Why am I deathly afraid of pokemon?"

Rufus Shinra says, "what do you know of Sephiroth?"

Cloud Strife says, "Not much at all.. just that I gotta go after him"

Rufus Shinra says, "anything else?"

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Cloud Strife says, "I think he might know something"

Rufus Shinra says, "Perhaps he does. anything else bothering you sweetie?"

Cloud Strife says, "No... nothing"

Rufus Shinra smiles and keeps his arms protectively around him

Rufus Shinra says, "That's good sweetie"

Rufus Shinra suddenly begins to nibble on his ear

Cloud Strife squeaks

Rufus Shinra says, "want anything?"

Cloud Strife says, "I.."

Rufus Shinra says, "what?"

Cloud Strife says, "Nothing..."

Rufus Shinra says, "oh...."

Rufus Shinra sighs and lays down, holding Cloud

Cloud Strife closes his eyes and seems to be afraid to even breathe

Cloud Strife says, "Wark"

Rufus Shinra says, "Cloud? What's wrong?"

Cloud Strife says, "Nothing... at all"

Rufus Shinra sighs and closes his eye

Cloud Strife begins to fall asleep in Rufus' arms

Rufus Shinra gets up suddenly, slipping Cloud off of him and walks over to his desk

Cloud Strife sniffles and curls up in a ball

Rufus Shinra starts to write something on a piece of paper. finishes and looks back at Cloud, flicking back his hair

Cloud Strife is almost asleep.. curled in a tight ball on top of the blankets

Rufus Shinra walks over to Cloud. places a hand on his back

Cloud Strife jumps

Rufus Shinra says, "are you ok?"

Cloud Strife says, "I’m... fine Rufus.. just you woke me up a little...."

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm sorry about that... I really need to go out and make sure everything is in order right now"

Rufus Shinra slips on his turtleneck and coat

Cloud Strife says, "Oh... okay Rufus"

Rufus Shinra says, "see you later"

Rufus Shinra walks out for the next 8 hours

Cloud Strife sniffles and tries to sleep

Rufus Shinra comes back after those 8 hours and lays down on the bed next to Cloud. closes his eyes, rather tired

Cloud Strife finally fell asleep a little over an hour ago

Rufus Shinra falls asleep as well, laying on his back

Cloud Strife Wakes up.. and shivers

Rufus Shinra is still sleeping

Cloud Strife picks up his clothes and looks at Rufus

Rufus Shinra shifts a little in his sleep

Rufus Shinra says, "zzzzz"

Cloud Strife smiles

Cloud Strife says, "you confuse me a bit... but I love you"

Rufus Shinra says, "zzzzz"

Rufus Shinra yawns, rolling his tongue

Cloud Strife says, "But I prolly confuse you too...."

Cloud Strife smiles at how cute Rufus is in his sleep

Rufus Shinra opens an eye and registers confusion

Cloud Strife is puzzled by Rufus' reaction

Rufus Shinra blinks and looks around

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus?"

Rufus Shinra looks at Cloud, still blinking

Cloud Strife says, "What’s wrong?"

Rufus Shinra says, "this Junon?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah..."

Rufus Shinra says, "oh... that's what I thought"

Rufus Shinra runs his fingers through his hair

Cloud Strife kisses Rufus on the forehead

Rufus Shinra smiles a little

Cloud Strife says, "Wanna go for a walk?"

Rufus Shinra says, "ok"

Rufus Shinra gets out of bed

Cloud Strife is beginning to wonder about Rufus

Rufus Shinra says, "where we go?"

Cloud Strife says, "Around... wanna show me what’s neat around here?"

Cloud Strife slips an arm around Rufus companionably

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "ok"

Rufus Shinra walks out of the room and looks left and right

Rufus Shinra says, "this way"

Rufus Shinra brings him off in the direction of the port

Rufus Shinra says, "ohh.. this is nice, isn't it?"

Cloud Strife looks around

Cloud Strife says, "Its kinda neat"

Rufus Shinra smiles and looks around

Cloud Strife takes Rufus by the hand

Cloud Strife says, "You hungry sweetie?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah... I'm hungry. where shall we go?"

Cloud Strife says, "Know any place good?"

Rufus Shinra says, "um... not really"

Cloud Strife says, "Well.. are there any restaurants in Junon?"

Rufus Shinra says, "some where"

Cloud Strife says, "C'mon... lets find one okay?"

Rufus Shinra says, "ok"

Cloud Strife says, "Or do you wanna go back to our room and order out?"

Rufus Shinra smiles and hugs Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "maybe order out good... you're nice"

Cloud Strife frowns

Cloud Strife says, "C'mon then..."

Rufus Shinra takes his hand and smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "ok"

Rufus Shinra walks back to their room

Rufus Shinra says, "what do you want to eat?"

Cloud Strife says, "Not sure"

Cloud Strife looks over the menu. finds himself kinda worried about Rufus.. since he's actin funny

Rufus Shinra looks at Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "what we gonna eat?"

Cloud Strife says, "Pick something "

Cloud Strife sits Rufus down and shows him the menu

Rufus Shinra says, "um.... noodles?"

Cloud Strife says, "I'll go out and pick it up... I need some air...... and some time alone.... okay?"

Cloud Strife writes down noodles

Rufus Shinra says, "oh... ok"

Rufus Shinra goes to the closet and finds the pokeball with his pikachu in it. lets the pikachu out and cuddles it to his chest like a little kid

Cloud Strife shivers and goes out to get his and Rufus' meal. walks along and mutters to himself

Cloud Strife says, "We deserve each other I guess... we're both screwed up"

Rufus Shinra plays with his pikachu

Cloud Strife walks along... hoping he can find this place

Rufus Shinra gets on the bed... and cuddles his pikachu. sets the pikachu down and curls up

Cloud Strife returns after a while carrying a paper bag

Rufus Shinra lifts his head up and smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "food"

Cloud Strife says, "Can... you put that pikachu away?"

Rufus Shinra frowns a little

Rufus Shinra says, "oh, alright"

Rufus Shinra sniffles slightly and pets the pikachu before placing it in a pokeball

Cloud Strife pats Rufus' head. sets the bag on the table and takes out some containers

Rufus Shinra moves over to the table

Rufus Shinra says, "what you bring?"

Cloud Strife says, "noodles like you asked"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah! Thank you!"

Rufus Shinra takes them and eats happily

Cloud Strife goes and stretches out on the bed... wondering if Rufus even knows who he is

Rufus Shinra goes and sits on the bed once he has finished. looks at him

Rufus Shinra says, "you ok?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yah... I’m fine "

Rufus Shinra says, "That's good... you are so nice"

Cloud Strife looks at Rufus.. then closes his eyes

Rufus Shinra puts his arms around Cloud's neck in a childlike sign off affection

Cloud Strife sighs and puts an arm around Rufus... not sure how to handle this

Rufus Shinra stays like this for several minutes before he kisses his cheek and begins to caress his neck

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes Cloud?"

Cloud Strife pulls Rufus close

Rufus Shinra smiles and cuddles him, kissing his lips

Cloud Strife puts his head on Rufus' chest.... and closes his eyes

Rufus Shinra says, "are you ok Cloud?"

Cloud Strife says, "I’m fine Rufus"

Rufus Shinra kisses his neck and smiles

Cloud Strife begins to drift off to sleep in Rufus' arms... wearied by the stress

Rufus Shinra kisses him

Rufus Shinra says, "you tired Cloud?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah sweetie"

Rufus Shinra cuddles him

Rufus Shinra says, "I tire you out?"

Cloud Strife says, "You do a little"

Cloud Strife smiles

Rufus Shinra smiles and nips his nose

Cloud Strife says, "keep your pokemon in their balls though sweetie"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh... ok...."

Rufus Shinra sighs a little but cuddles Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "I just.. don’t like pokemon for some reason"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh"

Rufus Shinra kisses Cloud's lips

Cloud Strife nibbles Rufus' ear

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "what do you want?"

Rufus Shinra cuddles Cloud. kisses Cloud's lips passionately

Cloud Strife wraps his arms around Rufus

Rufus Shinra says, "how shall I please you?"

Cloud Strife says, "Let me sleep in your embrace"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "then that is what it shall be"

Rufus Shinra puts his arms around Cloud and smiles

Cloud Strife puts his head on Rufus' chest

Cloud Strife says, "You didn’t cuddle me at all the other night. I hardly slept"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh? I didn't?"

Rufus Shinra blinks a second

Cloud Strife says, "no.. you went out... and didn’t come back for some time"

Rufus Shinra says, "I was working"

Cloud Strife says, "An when you came home you just went to sleep... didn’t cuddle me"

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm sorry..."

Rufus Shinra cuddles Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "this better?"

Cloud Strife closes his eyes

Cloud Strife says, "Why were you actin so weird?"

Rufus Shinra says, "how was I acting?"

Cloud Strife says, "like a lil kid... you didn’t seem to know where you were"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh.... That's been a while"

Rufus Shinra kisses Cloud gently

Cloud Strife says, "An you were awful protective.. before you kinda just dropped me and went off"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh.... I was?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah. I had bad dreams.. when I finally fell asleep last night"

Rufus Shinra says, "what did you see?"

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth"

Cloud Strife looks at Rufus

Cloud Strife says, "He was hurting me in my dream..... "

Rufus Shinra says, "how?"

Rufus Shinra cuddles Cloud closer

Cloud Strife says, "I .... I’m not sure.... just pain......"

Rufus Shinra kisses Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "don't worry sweetie I'll protect you from him"

Cloud Strife says, "He said he was coming for me....."

Rufus Shinra says, "I will not let him take you"

Cloud Strife says, "I know you wont"

Rufus Shinra kisses his cheek

Rufus Shinra says, "you'll be safe... I just hope he does not come"

Rufus Shinra cuddles him protectively

Cloud Strife relaxes in Rufus' arms

Rufus Shinra smiles and marvels at the warmth of Cloud's body

Rufus Shinra says, "you're warm, you don't hurt me, you're loveable... why wouldn't I want to keep you safe?"

Cloud Strife says, "There’s no reason.. I know I’m safe with you"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes, you are safe"

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus......."

Rufus Shinra says, "yes?"

Rufus Shinra cocks his head to one side

Cloud Strife says, "Why you actin funny?"

Rufus Shinra says, "funny?"

Cloud Strife says, "I've seen four separate .... well... personalities in you"

Rufus Shinra says, "you... have?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah"

Rufus Shinra closes his eyes

Rufus Shinra says, "when I was a child I was beaten and raped almost every night... It had lasting damage as one might think"

Cloud Strife says, "raped?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes"

Cloud Strife closes his eyes as that reminds him of something

Rufus Shinra says, "all by one person... want to take a guess who?"

Cloud Strife says, "umm... your dad?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes...."

Cloud Strife says, "Poor Rufus"

Rufus Shinra says, "does that explain to you now why my mind is in 4 pieces? imagine what that does to a kid... plus the fact that my real mother died giving birth to me"

Cloud Strife says, "I understand Rufus"

Cloud Strife hugs him

Cloud Strife says, "I’m here for you"

Rufus Shinra hugs back

Rufus Shinra says, "yes, you please all parts... even the one that is hardest to please. I'll protect you from Sephiroth"

Cloud Strife says, "Which one is that?"

Rufus Shinra says, "which one?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah.. which part is hardest to please?"

Rufus Shinra says, "The part that gave the speech of fear on the roof top"

Cloud Strife says, "ohh... what’s he think about me?"

Rufus Shinra says, "He's just out to control the world... he leaves the rest up to us"

Cloud Strife says, "Ah"

Cloud Strife cuddles against Rufus

Rufus Shinra smiles, closes his eyes a little

Rufus Shinra says, "no one has ever brought happiness before"

Cloud Strife says, "I love you... and I wanna make you happy"

Rufus Shinra says, "I love you too. I like to please you, and you do make me happy"

Cloud Strife kisses Rufus' cheek

Cloud Strife says, "You showed me passion... you showed me love... things I'd never known before"

Rufus Shinra smiles and kisses his lips gently, bringing his hand to the back of Cloud's head

Rufus Shinra says, "I've never known love either"

Rufus Shinra brings his lips back to Cloud's and kisses him passionately

Cloud Strife returns the kiss.. stroking his fingers lovingly along Rufus' sides

Rufus Shinra finds he cannot get enough of Cloud's loving lips. moves his hands down Cloud's back and gently massages it

Cloud Strife closes his eyes and continues the kiss... deeply enamoured with Rufus

Rufus Shinra rolls his tongue around the inside of Cloud's mouth, his hands moving low to caress Cloud's lower back reigns

Cloud Strife smiles inwardly... helplessly and happily in love with Rufus..... and unafraid of anything that might come to harm him

Rufus Shinra finally has something that all parts of him agree on.... his love for Cloud. feels a strange warmth he never has felt before because of it

Cloud Strife says, "I was lost and alone pretty much before... sorta a playtoy to Aeris and Tifa....."

Rufus Shinra says, "for them? Why?"

Cloud Strife wonders why the word playtoy seems to fit neatly into the mental image of himself so well

Cloud Strife says, "They put me in a dress.... they fought over me....."

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Cloud Strife says, "Then they decided they didn’t need me and cast me aside"

Rufus Shinra says, "you are no one's play toy... and I love you"

Cloud Strife says, "But... that’s how I found you"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "then that is the only reason I am pleased that they did or we would not be enjoying each other's wonderful company"

Rufus Shinra nuzzles Cloud's neck

Cloud Strife licks Rufus' nose

Cloud Strife says, "Let’s sleep dearest"

Rufus Shinra kisses Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "alright love.... I'll cuddle you"

Rufus Shinra cuddles Cloud as he closes his eyes

Cloud Strife curls against Rufus as tightly as possible and closes his eyes as well

Rufus Shinra says, "night love"

Rufus Shinra drifts of to a rather pleasant sleep

Cloud Strife looks at Rufus lovingly.. then nestles in his arms and falls asleep as well
