Rufus Shinra walks into the gold saucer wearing his snappy looking white suit
Cloud Strife is looking miserable as usual....  sitting in the wonder square and trying to digest the fact that he's got the worst blood imaginable
Rufus Shinra looks around at all the squares and wonders which one contains Cloud
Cloud Strife sighs and plays with his sword...  trying desperately to "accidentally" lop something off
Rufus Shinra chooses to go to the wonder square first
Cloud Strife says, "Agh.. I cant do anything right. Hmm... Im up real high here... what if I ....... fell off"
Rufus Shinra spots Cloud as he walks in
Cloud Strife walks over to the guardrail and looks down
Rufus Shinra walks over to Cloud.. slowly
Cloud Strife swings a leg over the railing
Rufus Shinra says, "Cloud..."
Cloud Strife says, "Agh!  "
Cloud Strife nearly falls but manages to fall the right way... and not down to his death
Rufus Shinra says, "What are you doing?"
Cloud Strife says, "Ridding the world of one more ShinRa..... "
Rufus Shinra pauses for a second
Rufus Shinra says, "oh... yes... I almost forgot about that.... but what does blood mean anyway?"
Cloud Strife says, "Means a lot..."
Rufus Shinra says, "Why would it?"
Cloud Strife says, "its who I am... I got half of that man's genes and I can't stand myself now"
Rufus Shinra says, "Try having to live with him then"
Rufus Shinra grins a little coldly
Rufus Shinra says, "it's far worse... trust me"
Cloud Strife says, "Its bad enough...  I wasn't a child of love or anything....  my mom probably got raped then move to nibel to get away from the pain "
Rufus Shinra says, "not necessarily... probably got taken advantage of though... but that does not mean she didn't love you"
Cloud Strife sighs
Rufus Shinra goes over to Cloud and sits next to him
Cloud Strife says, "I gotta face it... nobody loves me .... my family is dead... good riddance to my father"
Rufus Shinra says, "yeah..."
Rufus Shinra leans his head back against the wall, closing his eyes on bad memories
Cloud Strife sighs
Cloud Strife says, "I'm alone and I could care less about the world.... "
Rufus Shinra says, "You don't have to be alone you know"
Cloud Strife says, "Humph... hang out with the others.. the annoying bunch of losers ... two of who try to get in my pants all the time.... "
Rufus Shinra says, "my sister and your old friend?"
Cloud Strife says, "Yea"
Rufus Shinra says, "and who would you prefer was trying to get into your pants?"
Cloud Strife says, "no one"
Rufus Shinra says, "in the whole world?"
Cloud Strife says, "not really"
Rufus Shinra says, "then you have someone on your mind"
Cloud Strife says, "no.."
Rufus Shinra looks at Cloud, brushing the stray lock of strawberry blond hair out of his eyes
Rufus Shinra says, "never?"
Cloud Strife says, "Who'd want me?"
Rufus Shinra . o O ( I would... )
Rufus Shinra says, "well, there has to be someone... come now, who do you want?"
Cloud Strife says, "I don't want anyone....."
Rufus Shinra says, "You're embarrassed, aren't you?"
Cloud Strife says, "Aeris.....  was here talking to me"
Rufus Shinra says, "She's here?"
Cloud Strife says, "Not sure "
Rufus Shinra stares at Cloud... his rather icy blue eyes piercing Cloud
Cloud Strife shrinks away from Rufus' gaze
Rufus Shinra looks away
Rufus Shinra says, "You not like me Cloud?"
Cloud Strife says, "I don't like to be stared at ... my life's been real screwed up... since all this happened....  I cant be a burden to anyone"
Rufus Shinra says, "My life has always been screwed up"
Rufus Shinra flicks back his hair again
Cloud Strife shivers
Rufus Shinra says, "you cold?"
Cloud Strife says, "a little...."
Rufus Shinra takes off his white jacket and offers it to Cloud
Cloud Strife says, "I've been cold a lot... I lost a lot of weight when I sorta forgot hot to eat..."
Rufus Shinra says, "I'll bring you to dinner... I know just how that feels"
Cloud Strife says, "Its all Jenova and Hojo's fault. although I don't know if I can blame the evil space alien... Hojo was a bastard"
Rufus Shinra says, "yeah... I never liked him.... besides, I heard he killed my real father"
Cloud Strife says, "Lets see... how long has it been since I killed Sephiroth?"
Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm.... a few months... you know he's alive again of course"
Cloud Strife says, "I haven't been mobile that long... really I was sent to Cosmo to be taught all over again... He is?"
Rufus Shinra nods
Rufus Shinra says, "I heard he's with some young girl now"
Cloud Strife says, "oh..."
Rufus Shinra says, "She's about 16 or 17... from what I heard"
Cloud Strife says, "..."
Cloud Strife tries not to look too depressed
Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm... you killed him but wanted him?"
Cloud Strife says, "Its not important..."
Rufus Shinra says, "you can be honest you know... I know the look... you wanted him"
Cloud Strife pulls Rufus' coat around himself even tighter
Cloud Strife says, "I said it's not important"
Rufus Shinra says, "and now that you know he's with a girl you fell disappointed"
Cloud Strife says, "... shut up"
Rufus Shinra says, "I'm telling only the truth my dear Cloud"
Cloud Strife says, "Look.. if you wanted to make me hurt all the more you're doing a good job"
Rufus Shinra says, ".... I wasn't"
Cloud Strife pulls Rufus' jacket off and throws it at him... then gets up... grumbling to himself
Rufus Shinra picks up the jacket as he stands as well
Rufus Shinra . o O ( gee... I don't think he realizes I'm interested in him at all )
Cloud Strife starts to stalk off towards another area.
Rufus Shinra follows him quietly
Cloud Strife moves inside.. where it's warmer and sighs
Cloud Strife says, "Why'd I let them send me here?  They said I needed to relax before I had a heart attack....."
Rufus Shinra says, "Cloud... don't avoid me"
Cloud Strife says, "Why are you following me anyway? To make me hurt more?"
Rufus Shinra says, "I'm not trying to hurt you"
Cloud Strife says, "Then what are you doing?"
Rufus Shinra says, "I'm... well..."
Rufus Shinra grins a little... the first time he's grinned for a long time
Cloud Strife raises an eyebrow
Rufus Shinra says, "Geez... the life stream must have sparked up some long forgotten stuff in me"
Rufus Shinra rubs the back of his head, starting to smile a little
Cloud Strife says, "...."
Rufus Shinra says, "come on, can't you say anything?"
Cloud Strife says, "No I can't..."
Rufus Shinra says, "Well, you just did there"
Rufus Shinra chuckles slightly
Rufus Shinra says, "Lighten up"
Cloud Strife says, "Look... say what you want.. then leave me alone or whatever"
Rufus Shinra sighs
Rufus Shinra says, "well, I can't put it into words... but I can show you"
Rufus Shinra reaches out and grabs Cloud by the back of the head... not being too rough... and kisses him
Cloud Strife says, "!!!"
Rufus Shinra lets go of him
Rufus Shinra says, "The only way I could put it"
Cloud Strife says, ".... you?"
Rufus Shinra blinks
Rufus Shinra says, "me what?"
Cloud Strife says, "Why'd you.. do that?"
Rufus Shinra says, "I've wanted too for a while now... you've intrigued me for many reasons"
Cloud Strife says, "but why?"
Cloud Strife looks around at all the people in the area
Cloud Strife says, "In public even...."
Rufus Shinra says, "I really don't care about the public... and I've been filled with the desire to kiss you for a long time now"
Rufus Shinra folds his arms
Cloud Strife says, "I... "
Rufus Shinra says, "still telling me to leave?"
Cloud Strife says, "no.. no.. please... come with me to my room/"
Rufus Shinra nods
Rufus Shinra says, "Fine then, I will come"
Cloud Strife leads Rufus back to the room everyone chipped in to pay for
Rufus Shinra looks around and sees some of Aeris's things but no Aeris
Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm.. nice"
Cloud Strife says, "She's been staying here... "
Rufus Shinra says, "yeah, my sister likes you too... heh"
Cloud Strife says, "Rufus... tell me.. are you really interested in me?"
Rufus Shinra nods
Rufus Shinra says, "yeah.... even after you sliced me up some"
Cloud Strife says, "I'm... sorry"
Rufus Shinra says, "for?"
Cloud Strife says, "for that. For being a jerk"
Cloud Strife sits down on the bed and hangs his head
Rufus Shinra says, "It's ok"
Rufus Shinra sits down next to him
Cloud Strife says, "I just..."
Rufus Shinra looks at him with his icy blue eyes
Cloud Strife says, "I'm disappointed... but... relieved"
Rufus Shinra says, "why are you disappointed"
Cloud Strife says, "Its.... I'm sorry.. just... go away before I say something stupid to hurt you"
Rufus Shinra says, "Now you want me to leave?"
Cloud Strife says, "I don't wanna hurt you. See..... I.. had a thing for Sephiroth... And........ well I'm very very upset now.... and Im gonna say stupid things "
Rufus Shinra says, "Many did... even I.. which is sort of embarrassing since I now know we shared a mom"
Rufus Shinra pulls an arm around Cloud
Rufus Shinra says, "it's ok, say them"
Cloud Strife reaches out and brushes his fingers along Rufus' cheek
Cloud Strife says, "But I don't want to cause you any more pain... I already attacked you... opposed you... why would you want me still?"
Rufus Shinra says, "because of who you are... you are rebellious, like I was at your age... and I'm only a few years older"
Cloud Strife sighs
Cloud Strife says, "I'm not that way normally"
Rufus Shinra shakes him in a friendly manner
Rufus Shinra says, "It's ok"
Cloud Strife leans heavily on Rufus
Rufus Shinra strokes his fingers through Cloud's hair
Cloud Strife purrs softly
Cloud Strife says, "I'm sure... he woulda been a terrible lover"
Rufus Shinra says, "Sephiroth? I have no clue... was never sure what he was interested in... put my sources tell me he's with a young girl who carries around a conformer"
Cloud Strife says, "Yuffie... she always steals things....."
Rufus Shinra says, "Yuffie? Who's that?"
Cloud Strife says, "Some girl we picked up... along our travels"
Rufus Shinra says, "Ahh, I see"
Cloud Strife says, "She was a thief"
Rufus Shinra nods
Cloud Strife finds his fingers itching to touch Rufus for some reason
Rufus Shinra says, "well, then what are you going to do about it?"
Rufus Shinra grins playfully at him
Cloud Strife says, "I.... ... do about it?"
Rufus Shinra says, "yeah... what are you gonna do?"
Rufus Shinra moves himself closer in a subtle way
Cloud Strife says, "I... don't get it?"
Rufus Shinra . o O ( he doesn't get this? oh well.. my move )
Rufus Shinra grabs Cloud gently by the back of the head and presses their mouths together
Cloud Strife says, "!!!"
Rufus Shinra lets go of him again
Cloud Strife . o O ( Why's he do that? Its nice but...  confusing )
Cloud Strife looks at Rufus questioningly
Rufus Shinra looks back
Rufus Shinra says, "sorry... you not like that?"
Cloud Strife says, "It... was nice"
Cloud Strife says, "Just.. unexpected "
Rufus Shinra says, "ohh"
Rufus Shinra leans a little closer to him and places his thumb to Cloud's lip
Cloud Strife cocks his head to the side slightly 
Rufus Shinra massages Cloud's lip with his thumb
Cloud Strife parts his lips slightly and sighs softly
Rufus Shinra runs his thumb along Cloud's lips... and smiles softly
Cloud Strife says, "You're gentler than I thought"
Rufus Shinra says, "why, you thought I would be rough?"
Cloud Strife nods
Rufus Shinra says, "Why'd you assume that?"
Cloud Strife says, "From your little speech about fear and stuff"
Rufus Shinra says, "oh that.... it's just cause of what was done to me as a kid... fear is useful"
Cloud Strife nods
Rufus Shinra leans close enough that his lips graze Cloud's cheek
Cloud Strife shivers at the ghost of a kiss, and hopes Rufus will grant him with more
Rufus Shinra moves his lips up to Cloud's ear
Rufus Shinra says, "Do you want me to?"
Cloud Strife nods dreamily
Rufus Shinra takes the back of Cloud's head and pulls him into a deep kiss
Cloud Strife melts into the kiss
Rufus Shinra pulls his arms around Cloud as he feels him melt.. and licks his tongue along his lips
Cloud Strife parts his lips to allow Rufus to deepen the kiss
Rufus Shinra slips his tongue into Cloud's mouth... probing him gently
Cloud Strife finds the kiss odd... since its new to him... but pleasant
Rufus Shinra continues to probe Cloud's delicious mouth as he leads him to his back on the bed
Cloud Strife finds himself trembling at Rufus' masterful approach
Rufus Shinra places his hands to Cloud's cheeks as they kiss... Cloud's head hitting the soft pillow on the bed
Cloud Strife puts his arms around Rufus, to make the embrace complete
Rufus Shinra moves a hand down and slides it under Cloud's shirt as they kiss
Cloud Strife makes a small exclamatory gasp
Rufus Shinra rubs one of Cloud's nipples... his tongue rubbing against Cloud's
Cloud Strife squirms slightly.. since no one has ever done this before
Rufus Shinra massages Cloud's chest with his hand
Cloud Strife finds it a little sudden to be under Rufus and getting this far in only a few hours
Rufus Shinra continues it anyway... seeing he cannot read Cloud's mind
Cloud Strife squiggles
Rufus Shinra moves his hands away and sits up
Rufus Shinra says, "to fast?"
Cloud Strife nods sheepishly
Cloud Strife says, "I'm sorry"
Rufus Shinra grins a little
Rufus Shinra says, "It's ok. I sometimes become impatient"
Cloud Strife says, "I... can try if you want me to "
Rufus Shinra says, "nah, I don't want to make you uncomfortable"
Cloud Strife says, "But..."
Rufus Shinra puts a finger to his lips
Rufus Shinra says, "no but, just know I will not do anything you are not ready for"
Rufus Shinra takes the finger away
Cloud Strife says, "..."
Rufus Shinra says, "So, what do you wish to say?"
Cloud Strife says, "that I'm still up for dinner... like you offered earlier"
Rufus Shinra smiles
Rufus Shinra says, "very well then, I'll take you to dinner"
Rufus Shinra stands up and holds his hand out to Cloud
Cloud Strife takes Rufus' hand
Rufus Shinra leads him off to the Gold Saucer restaurant
Rufus Shinra says, "Is this good for you?"
Cloud Strife looks over the menu after they are seated
Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... "
Rufus Shinra looks at his own menu
Rufus Shinra says, "They have good food here"
Rufus Shinra orders a glass of red wine and some sort of pasta dish
Cloud Strife orders a nice steak.... 
Cloud Strife says, "Mmm... meat..."
Rufus Shinra says, "mmm.. steak is good"
Rufus Shinra grins over at Cloud
Cloud Strife timidly orders a beer.. even though he really doesn't like the taste
Rufus Shinra picks up his glass of wine when it comes and starts to sip
Cloud Strife drinks his beer... licking the foam from his lips
Cloud Strife says, "Have anything we can talk about?"
Rufus Shinra says, "Well, I've rebuilt my company"
Cloud Strife says, "That's good.... no Mako though right?"
Rufus Shinra says, "Well, we are working on that one... Heidegger has run off on us I think... I found a letter of resignation on my desk this morning"
Rufus Shinra begins to eat, watching Cloud the whole time
Cloud Strife nods and cuts his steak
Cloud Strife says, "No Mako...  if you don't cut it out there's gonna be problems"
Rufus Shinra says, "Reeve is I don't know where... Scarlett is still trying to hit on me...."
Cloud Strife says, "Hmm..."
Rufus Shinra says, "Hojo is... well.. somewhere"
Cloud Strife says, "Hojo....."
Rufus Shinra sighs and drinks more of his wine
Rufus Shinra says, "Well, I still have Palmer and Scarlett under my control... but the Turks left"
Cloud Strife sighs and works on eating 
Rufus Shinra returns to his food as well
Rufus Shinra says, "It's too bad about the Turks running off... I sort of miss them"
Cloud Strife says, "Hmm. .could round what's left of them up"
Rufus Shinra says, "Nah, they all ran off for different lives"
Cloud Strife shrugs
Cloud Strife says, "Wanna know what my life's been like?"
Rufus Shinra nods
Rufus Shinra says, "Tell me"
Cloud Strife says, "Well... after Jenova was destroyed... a few hours later.. I was pretty much comatose"
Rufus Shinra says, "Tell me. what about your friends?"
Cloud Strife says, "Since I was hardwired...  and screwed up... I couldn't function normally... They..  dumped me in Cosmo and went about their lives...."
Rufus Shinra says, "except the two that brought you here?"
Cloud Strife says, "I woke up... when Aeris told me to ... "
Rufus Shinra says, "oh, I see. well, my sister has a force about her... we are both very hard to resist you know"
Cloud Strife nods
Rufus Shinra says, "out of interest, does she turn you on at all?"
Cloud Strife says, "a .. little"
Rufus Shinra nods
Rufus Shinra says, "what about your long term friend?"
Cloud Strife says, "Tifa..."
Rufus Shinra says, "yes... anything for her?"
Cloud Strife says, "No... "
Rufus Shinra nods again
Rufus Shinra says, "then who interests you?"
Cloud Strife says, "........"
Rufus Shinra finishes off his food and gazes deeply into Cloud's eyes
Cloud Strife smiles
Rufus Shinra smiles back at him
Rufus Shinra says, "Is it me perhaps?"
Cloud Strife says, "Umm..."
Cloud Strife blushes
Rufus Shinra grins
Rufus Shinra says, "well?"
Cloud Strife tries to hide behind his beer mug
Rufus Shinra stands up from the table and walks over to Cloud
Rufus Shinra says, "Are you finished eating?"
Cloud Strife says, "Umm.. I guess"
Rufus Shinra smiles
Cloud Strife finishes off his beer first
Rufus Shinra says, "then let's get back to our room, ok?"
Cloud Strife says, "our..... room?"
Rufus Shinra says, "well... your room... heh... sorry"
Rufus Shinra grins
Rufus Shinra says, "Shall we go?"
Cloud Strife says, "Alright"
Rufus Shinra hooks his arm
Rufus Shinra says, "ok"
Cloud Strife leans on Rufus.. since he can barely even hold a beer
Rufus Shinra leads him back to the room... holding Cloud a little to keep him steady
Cloud Strife says, "Where's... Aeris gonna sleep/..?"
Rufus Shinra says, "I have no idea... but she isn't in here now"
Rufus Shinra sets Cloud on the bed
Cloud Strife says, "Where am I gonna sleep?"
Rufus Shinra says, "Where do you want to sleep?"
Cloud Strife says, "I..."
Cloud Strife leans back
Rufus Shinra looks down at him
Rufus Shinra says, "you're so cute, you know that?"
Rufus Shinra brushes a strand of hair away from Cloud's eyes
Cloud Strife says, "I am?"
Rufus Shinra says, "yeah"
Rufus Shinra leans down and kisses him softly
Cloud Strife beeps Rufus' nose
Rufus Shinra smiles softly
Rufus Shinra says, "Anything you want before sleeping?"
Cloud Strife says, "make me feel good... but.. not too far?"
Rufus Shinra says, "alright"
Rufus Shinra leans down and kisses him softly again
Rufus Shinra says, "this help?"
Cloud Strife nods
Rufus Shinra licks his tongue along Cloud's lips
Cloud Strife purrs
Rufus Shinra moves his tongue around Cloud's face
Rufus Shinra says, "you like this?"
Rufus Shinra licks to Cloud's ear and begins to nibble on the lobe
Cloud Strife purrs
Cloud Strife says, "Yes I like"
Rufus Shinra licks his tongue into Cloud's ear
Rufus Shinra says, "this good?"
Cloud Strife looks up at Rufus in his pristine white suit.... and decides he really doesn't deserve him. nods
Rufus Shinra continues to lick inside Cloud's ear. moves one hand out to Cloud's chest
Cloud Strife says, "I don't deserve you"
Rufus Shinra says, "well, I deserve you, how about that?"
Cloud Strife says, "I'm just a little scrub.... "
Rufus Shinra says, "Still, I deserve you"
Cloud Strife says, "I don't...."
Rufus Shinra says, "Does that matter? I'm keeping you regardless.... as long as you are at least willing to have me around"
Cloud Strife says, "Sure... "
Rufus Shinra grins. slides his arms around Cloud, going back to licking the inside of his ear
Cloud Strife says, "That tickles!"
Rufus Shinra says, "but do you like it?"
Cloud Strife nods
Rufus Shinra goes back to what he was doing... nibbling on Cloud's ear as well
Cloud Strife purrs and moves his hands over Rufus' chest
Rufus Shinra takes off his jacket so his chest is easer to feel
Cloud Strife says, "You're....."
Rufus Shinra says, "yes?"
Rufus Shinra licks his tongue all along Cloud's ear
Cloud Strife says, "beautiful"
Rufus Shinra smiles
Rufus Shinra says, "Why thank you... I can say the same for you"
Rufus Shinra nuzzles his neck softly
Cloud Strife says, "don't spoil me"
Cloud Strife . o O ( He's going to ... make me love him... then leave me.. I know it.....   )
Rufus Shinra says, "Spoil you?"
Cloud Strife says, "yeah... This is...  a temporary relationship"
Rufus Shinra says, "why?"
Rufus Shinra looks down into his eyes
Cloud Strife says, "Cuz you're important and have no reason to stay with me"
Rufus Shinra says, "except that you are the only person to ever defy me and there for are the closet I have to an equal"
Cloud Strife says, "but you'll want someone else... ... "
Rufus Shinra says, "like?"
Rufus Shinra frowns slightly
Cloud Strife says, "That Turk with the red hair?"
Rufus Shinra says, "Reno? No thanks... he's not interested"
Cloud Strife says, "Well, I'm sure you'll find someone...."
Rufus Shinra sighs and looks down
Rufus Shinra says, "Why does everyone say that?"
Cloud Strife says, "I.... you wouldn't wanna stay with me forever"
Rufus Shinra says, "How do you know that?"
Cloud Strife says, "cuz... "
Rufus Shinra says, "why?"
Cloud Strife says, "Nobody wants me"
Rufus Shinra says, "That's not true!"
Cloud Strife says, "......"
Rufus Shinra looks into Cloud's eyes
Cloud Strife says, "You... want me?  Forever?"
Rufus Shinra says, "I think I might"
Cloud Strife says, "really?"
Rufus Shinra nods
Rufus Shinra says, "people usually push me away.... "
Cloud Strife says, "I... I'd like to be with you..."
Rufus Shinra says, "I don't like it... I... I just want to be happy with someone... that's why I want to be with you"
Rufus Shinra kisses his lips softly and puts his arms around him
Rufus Shinra says, "let's sleep, ok? It helps to sleep with a person"
Cloud Strife nods
Rufus Shinra closes his eyes and drifts into a pleasant sleep, cuddling Cloud
Cloud Strife falls asleep in Rufus' warm arms...  savoring the feel of companionship
