Sephiroth is waiting for Cloud in the shadows
Cloud Strife steps out of the strange shell shaped house and looks around in the moonlight
Sephiroth leaves his Masamune sticking in the ground and slowly walks out of the shadows
Cloud Strife says, "Aeris... you were so ... innocent... I should have left you in Midgar"

Sephiroth says, "why didn't you?"

Cloud Strife jumps

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth!"

Cloud Strife takes a few steps back... wishing he hadn't left his sword by the bed

Sephiroth heads for him

Sephiroth says, "Cloud... come to me...."

Cloud Strife says, "what?"

Cloud Strife backs away even more

Sephiroth moves one arm out, backing Cloud up toward one of the houses

Cloud Strife realizes what Sephiroth is up to and tries to shift position so there will not be a wall behind him

Sephiroth gets very close to Cloud

Cloud Strife growls softly

Cloud Strife says, "murderer"

Sephiroth says, "shh Cloud...."

Sephiroth puts his arm around Cloud's waist

Cloud Strife says, "hey! Lemme go!"

Sephiroth says, "no"

Sephiroth angles him, lifting up onto a semi ledge so he can look into his beautiful blue eyes

Cloud Strife says, "what... why are you looking at me like that?"

Sephiroth moves one of Cloud's arms around him and moves in close to him

Cloud Strife takes his arm away... somewhat shocked.

Cloud Strife says, "Stop! What are you doing to me?"

Sephiroth says, "Please Cloud...."

Sephiroth angels his head up, his mouth close to Cloud's

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "Why are you messing with my head?"

Sephiroth says, "I... want you"

Cloud Strife says, "you... want... me?"

Sephiroth says, "yes"

Cloud Strife says, "what... what's that supposed to mean?"

Sephiroth draws his head up and kisses Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "mph!"

Sephiroth holds his arm around his waist, still kissing him

Cloud Strife finds his arms around Sephiroth... returning the kiss.... And is somewhat disgusted with himself

Sephiroth enjoys Cloud's arms around him, and the kiss being returned. He moves his other arm up around him

Cloud Strife shakes his head and tries to push Sephiroth away

Sephiroth sighs, reluctantly releasing Cloud's lips

Cloud Strife says, "What... why?"

Sephiroth says, "I want you "

Cloud Strife says, "why?"

Sephiroth says, "you are so beautiful... so tender...."

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "you... you think so? Then why.... Are you... trying to hurt me?"

Sephiroth says, "Hurt you?"

Cloud Strife says, "you killed Aeris..."

Sephiroth says, "Jenova killed her...."

Cloud Strife says, "that thing?"

Sephiroth says, "yes"

Cloud Strife says, "why do you follow it around if.... It... Hurts people"

Sephiroth says, "Can't help it. She controls me most of the time"

Cloud Strife says, "oh... and isn't now?"

Sephiroth says, "She lets me have a little time to myself. She needed to rest"

Cloud Strife says, "So you came to find me?"

Sephiroth says, "yes my beauty...."

Cloud Strife says, "beauty.... Heh... never thought anyone would say that to me"

Sephiroth looks hungrily into Cloud's eyes

Sephiroth says, "well, I am"

Cloud Strife says, "you really..."

Sephiroth says, "yes?"

Cloud Strife says, "really want me?"

Sephiroth says, "yes"

Cloud Strife says, "but why?"

Sephiroth says, "you are so beautiful Cloud"

Cloud Strife says, "You... aren't too bad looking yourself"

Sephiroth smiles softly

Sephiroth says, "can I have you then? While Jenova does not control me?"

Cloud Strife says, "yes... I think ... I might like that"

Sephiroth wraps his arms tighter around Cloud and picks him up

Cloud Strife squeaks a little

Cloud Strife says, "You are... amazingly strong!"

Sephiroth walks into one of the houses and looks around, holding Cloud in his arms and smiles

Sephiroth says, "why thank you"

Sephiroth finds a bed and lays Cloud down on in. Bends over and kisses him softly

Cloud Strife looks up at Sephiroth and smiles... but is still afraid that this is a ploy to kill him

Sephiroth starts taking off his own armor and cloak, leaving them on a stack of things in the room

Cloud Strife says, "Why do you suppose they had a fish fetish?"

Sephiroth says, "I have no idea. Perhaps they lived near the sea"

Cloud Strife says, "maybe... or were attuned to nature... "

Cloud Strife takes off his shoulder guard

Sephiroth takes off his boots, standing there in just his pants

Cloud Strife says, "Why'd you have to be an evil possessed man?"

Sephiroth says, "guess that's how I was made"

Sephiroth climbs over Cloud and looks down at him. He bends down and kisses him softly

Cloud Strife giggles a little because a few strands of Sephiroth's hair hang down and tickle his neck

Sephiroth smiles. He reaches down and gently pulls off Cloud's shirt

Cloud Strife shivers slightly as this is rather far up north

Sephiroth kisses the center of his chest. Rubs his sides gently with his hands

Cloud Strife looks at the handsome man towering over him

Sephiroth smiles down at his beauty

Cloud Strife says, "Is there any way to save the world without hurting you?"

Sephiroth says, "don't know. Probably not"

Cloud Strife sighs

Sephiroth says, "Let's have this moment then, before we get pulled away again"

Cloud Strife says, "alright... but Im gonna fall for you... how am I supposed to kill you?"

Sephiroth looks down into his eyes

Sephiroth says, "if it comes to that, then I'm under Jenova's power, and should die any way. It would realize me..."

Cloud Strife says, "But what if I just destroyed Jenova?"

Sephiroth says, "Don't know. I'm part of Jenova in a way ... Carry her cells. So do you, but I was born with mine"

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "She made me give you the black materia... "

Sephiroth kisses him gently

Sephiroth says, "yes"

Cloud Strife says, "love me Sephiroth? Give me one night of peace?"

Sephiroth says, "yes, peace for both of us. I've never been loved"

Cloud Strife says, "I'll love you... even though... its not really natural. You're the first person whose ever... well called me beautiful"

Sephiroth says, "am I natural to begin with?"

Cloud Strife says, "well... no"

Sephiroth kisses Cloud some more, his tongue wetting Cloud's lips

Cloud Strife parts his lips and kisses Sephiroth in return... enjoying the feeling of their two mouths joined

Sephiroth moves his tongue into his mouth, exploring it. Moves his hands to Cloud's sides, loving the feel of his soft skin under his fingers

Cloud Strife says, "Mmmmm"

Cloud Strife Begins to caress Sephiroth's warm body as well... exploring the contours and various muscles of his body

Sephiroth closes his eyes, still probing Cloud's mouth with his tongue. Enjoys the feel of Cloud's hands exploring him

Cloud Strife says, "mm"

Sephiroth's hands rub down the length of Cloud's body, as the kiss. He sighs softly

Cloud Strife leans his head back and revels at Sephiroth's touch

Sephiroth moves one hand down lower to the lip of Cloud's pants, and the other back to Cloud's head, so he can kiss him more and a slightly new angle. Continues the kiss with great passion as he strokes over Cloud's tongue

Cloud Strife arches his back so he can press tighter against Sephiroth

Sephiroth slips the arm around him, holding him tighter as they kiss, moving his other hand down Cloud's hip and into his pants

Cloud Strife says, "Ohhhh! Mmmm....."

Sephiroth moves his hand inside Cloud's pants, rubbing slowly down his outside thigh

Cloud Strife shivers a little

Cloud Strife strokes his fingers along Sephiroth's spine... lost in the kiss and tender touches

Cloud Strife tips his head back and moans.... This all being a new experience for him

Sephiroth moves his other hand down and with the help of the first strips Cloud of all his clothing. Moves his head over and retakes Cloud's lips. Takes one of Cloud's hands and gently slips it into his pants

Cloud Strife isn't quite sure what to do

Sephiroth leaves Cloud's hand there and uses his to gently stroke Cloud's chest. His tongue sweeps around and does a count of Cloud's teeth

Cloud Strife moves his hand in Sephiroth's pants.... Almost dazedly

Sephiroth closes his eyes and shivers as Cloud brushes his groin

Cloud Strife feels Sephiroth shiver... and moves his hand back to the spot that made him do so

Sephiroth shivers again as Cloud's hand reaches its destination

Sephiroth says, "mmm"

Sephiroth moves his hand down Cloud's side and brushes over his hips. Touches Cloud in the same manner

Cloud Strife moans softly... and squirms a bit

Sephiroth feels Cloud moan as they kiss. Strokes him gently, loving that feeling

Cloud Strife grows a tad frustrated and tugs on Sephiroth's pants

Sephiroth moves his hands and helps Cloud get his pants off. Tosses his pants and underwear off somewhere

Cloud Strife looks at Sephiroth's naked glory

Sephiroth grins at Cloud, and admires the naked beauty beneath him. Goes back and starts to kiss his mouth again

Cloud Strife feels utter pleasure as Sephiroth's long silver hair drapes around him

Sephiroth presses his body onto Cloud's, grinding their hips together in great pleasure

Cloud Strife moans.... And grips Sephiroth's shoulders tightly

Sephiroth moans lightly, enjoying Cloud's grip on his shoulders. Moves his hands down and gets Cloud's legs wrapped around his waist. Puts himself into Cloud gently, moaning in pleasure

Cloud Strife says, "Ohh!"

Sephiroth says, "mmmmmmmmm"

Sephiroth thrusts gently, retaking his mouth, and stroking his sides lovingly with his fingers

Cloud Strife winces because it hurts a little

Sephiroth breathes heavily as he moves him, but still moans with the pleasure of the experience

Cloud Strife moves his hands down and grips the bed.... Sweating heavily.... And moaning in pleasure

Sephiroth's sweat drips onto Cloud, joining his as they moan. His hands reach out and gently hold the tops of Cloud's. Continues to make love to Cloud very passionately

Cloud Strife closes his eyes.... Not wanting this to ever end

Sephiroth closes his eyes, breathing heavily with the passion, also not wanting this to have to end

Sephiroth says, "mmmm, ohh Cloud...."

Cloud Strife says, "Seph... you love me.... Oh.... No one..."

Sephiroth moans still, loving every second of them together

Sephiroth says, "ever?"

Cloud Strife says, "maybe... Aeris...."

Sephiroth says, "I love.... You "

Sephiroth continues with the passionate lovemaking

Cloud Strife says, "I love you too.... How am I ever going to...."

Sephiroth says, "kill me?"

Cloud Strife says, "yes..."

Sephiroth moans again, almost lost in pleasure. Slows down, then stops, so he can think

Sephiroth says, "Cloud, I doubt I will live much longer any way...."

Cloud Strife says, "why?"

Sephiroth says, "even if Jenova wins, I feel she will kill me once my usefulness has expired..."

Cloud Strife says, "No Seph... what am I gonna do.... We finally found each other"

Sephiroth says, "remember this night forever, I think it's all we can do"

Cloud Strife sighs and sniffles

Sephiroth lies next to him, wrapping his arms around him, holding him tightly

Cloud Strife says, "Please just hold me... until you have to leave..."

Cloud Strife frowns... tears coming to his eyes

Sephiroth sees the tears

Sephiroth says, "I will hold you, I want to hold you"

Cloud Strife says, "You'll be gone when I Wake... and it'll just be a dream... a wonderful dream..."

Sephiroth says, "if that will help you to do what must be done, then believe it that way. Cloud, unless you are killed.... Please, you'll have to...."

Cloud Strife says, "I know..."

Sephiroth looks into his eyes, wanting to cry with him

Sephiroth says, "promise me?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah"

Sephiroth kisses him softly, still wanting to cry

Cloud Strife puts his head on Sephiroth's chest and cries

Sephiroth holds his head, wanting to sooth him, but a few tears of his own start to form

Sephiroth says, "I'll love you forever...."

Cloud Strife says, "just a dream..."

Sephiroth says, "If that can help you ... when it comes time ... then believe that. I'll know this was real...."

Sephiroth closes his eyes, tears starting to drip from them as he holds Cloud close

Sephiroth says, "Thank you for being able to love me, end to be with me, even if it was just once"

Cloud Strife says, "I know its real.... I just have to fool myself..."

Sephiroth says, "keep your promise though"

Cloud Strife says, "I will..."

Sephiroth sniffles

Sephiroth says, "Thank you my love"

Cloud Strife says, "Should I look for someone else? Or live my life pining?"

Sephiroth says, "do what you need to do. My heart belongs to you"

Cloud Strife says, "Alright Seph... now let me sleep... in your embrace... I won't ever get to do it again"

Sephiroth says, "yes love, nor will I be able to hold you ever again"

Sephiroth sighs softly, trying to stop his tears

Cloud Strife says, "Don't cry.... If it can't be then it wasn't meant to be"

Sephiroth says, "That's not how I feel"

Cloud Strife says, "I know... but if you fool yourself... it makes all the hurt go away"

Sephiroth says, "If it eases your pain, then do so"

Sephiroth holds Cloud tightly, never wanting to let go

Cloud Strife says, "I won't ever forget you... I will just have to be able to fool myself to destroy you"

Sephiroth says, "yes. I'll love you even as I die. Jenova can't take that away from me...."

Cloud Strife says, "Will you get to join the life stream?"

Sephiroth says, "I don't know"

Cloud Strife says, "I hope so..."

Sephiroth strokes his fingers through Cloud's hair

Sephiroth says, "that's why you must win against all odds"

Cloud Strife says, "I will. I may look scrawny but I am a warrior!"

Sephiroth smiles

Sephiroth says, "I know you are"

Cloud Strife says, "I had inspiration! You!"

Sephiroth smiles

Sephiroth says, "I know love"

Cloud Strife says, "so much I'd like to talk about"

Cloud Strife yawns

Sephiroth says, "shh, no need to talk. Let me hold you"

Sephiroth closes his eyes, feeling Cloud curled up in his arms, and allows himself the one true moment of happiness he knew he could ever get....

Cloud Strife drifts to sleep.... At peace... probably the last time he will be this way for a while

Sephiroth feels at peace, and hopes that Cloud will be able to put him to rest some day in the future, for the safety of the world...
