glaciers have melted to the sea

[ Before he’d actually made SOLDIER, Zack had figured the mako treatment was a one-time deal. Get an injection or whatever and BAM! You’re supercharged! Go fight the good fight! The reality of it is that it’s an ongoing thing, and not even one you can really plan for because you get like three day’s notice – a week, if you’re lucky – and then you have to go in and get a treatment that takes all morning and can leave you useless for days. If there’s a pattern to it Zack doesn’t know what it is – one time Angeal got called in twice and Zack didn’t even have to go once – but the one time he asked about how they decided who got treatments when, the people in medical told him it was classified in a snooty kind of way that made it sound like he should have known better than to ask.

This time, he gets told two days ahead. It’s the shortest notice he’s ever had. It feels different after, too; he feels achy and heavy and a little sick to his stomach, which is normal, but it usually makes him want to sleep for a week and this time instead of that there’s just this buzzing under his skin, restless, like an itch. He can’t help thinking maybe it’s for the best; this is the first time he’s been called in while he and Cloud have been together, so it’s the first time he’s gonna see Cloud after, and he’s glad Cloud’s first intro to what he’s gonna have to do eventually isn’t one of the really bad ones.

Cloud’s pretty great about it, though. The guys from medical wheel Zack back – standard procedure – and Cloud is waiting, ready with a surprisingly well-told fib about just being here to keep an eye on his friend, and he brings Zack some water and steers him right to bed to sleep like Zack had warned him he’d probably want to do, and just sits with him, running fingers through his hair in a way that really does help with the headache.

Except. Zack can’t sleep. That itchy-under-his-skin feeling is still there and the pressure that feels like it’s building up in him is only getting worse. He fidgets, tosses and turns a little, and he doesn’t mean to be rude when Cloud asks if he’s okay and he doesn’t respond, it’s just a lot. Eventually he plants his face into Cloud’s lap, frustrated, wanting the comfort, and -

oh. Oh. Yeah. That’s better. That’s good. Cloud smells amazing, and before Zack really knows what he’s doing he’s pushing Cloud’s shirt up and out of the way so he can bury his face against the younger boy’s stomach, breathing him in and pressing a warm, open-mouthed kiss to the skin there.

He’s popped some unexpected boners before, but he’s never gotten hard as fast as he gets hard once he’s touching Cloud’s bare skin. ]

Cloud.

[ He has more to say than that, surely! He pulls at Cloud's shirt. ]

Off.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

No teasing. I promise.

[ It's not really a risk, given how much he wants Cloud! But it's still mostly that tone in Cloud's voice and the way he rocks into the touch that spurs him on, circling his fingertip just enough to make sure Cloud's nice and slick before he pushes that first finger in. It occurs to him faintly that this is pretty fast - they normally fool around a bit in other ways before they get to this point and all they've really done so far is kiss and rub off on each other a little - so he's careful about it, slow, and sure to make sure he gives Cloud a lot of praise so he knows Zack's not only thinking of himself! ]

You feel so good. You always feel so nice inside. So hot and soft. I'm so lucky you're mine.

[ even just the first press of zack's finger is enough to make cloud sigh. and when zack finally slides it into him, cloud rolls his hips down greedily to chase the feeling. maybe whatever's gotten into zack is contagious? because they've only just gotten started, and one finger already isn't nearly enough. especially not when zack is telling cloud how good he feels inside, calling him mine like he's never going to let anyone change that.

it makes cloud feel like he's going to go crazy.

so he leans up, nipping greedily at zack's lower lip, trying to roll his hips down against zack's finger to make sure he gets the message across. ] Zack. More, I n-need --

Yeah?

[ Grinning. Not because it's funny, but because it's great! He wants Cloud so bad, and Cloud wants him too, and it's so good that they're so in sync. He presses that first finger in all the way to the knuckle of his hand before he slides it out, pushes in again with two. He did promise no teasing, after all - but it kinda feels like teasing himself. Cloud's so tight, but his body opens up for him like welcoming it and Zack can't help rocking up against him again as he does it. ]

I need you all the time. Can't stop thinking about you. Even when I'm on missions. Pretty sure I'm getting them done faster because I know I have this to come back to.

[ And in case the point needed illustration, he presses when he says this, rubbing inside of Cloud. ]

Yeah.

[ it comes out as a low moan as zack slides that second finger into him, and cloud drops his head back against the pillows with a little sigh. it feels like zack always knows how to touch him to make sure it feels good -- exactly where cloud needs it, just right to make it feel like he's melting.

and wow, it just makes it that much better when he has zack telling him how much he wants him. to have someone this hot rushing through their missions just to get home to you that much faster? sometimes, cloud is really tempted just to pinch himself to make sure it's real. ]

Zack. [ another moan, drawn out and breathless as zack presses up against that spot inside him. ] I -- S-Sometimes when you're gone, I --

[ he swallows, trying to force himself to find the words despite how embarrassing it is to admit it. ] I c-can't... even when I'm touching myself, I can't... y'know, get there. Because it's not you, because I want you so bad.

[ Okay, it's shouldn't feel great to hear that. Cloud deserves to nut whenever he wants! But there's still something in it that heats Zack right through. He repeats the motion, rubbing with a little more purpose now, both a reward for Cloud saying it (and that gorgeous sound he made) and an apology for being so turned on by it. But he gets it - he always feels kinda sad after jerking off, 'cause Cloud's not there. It's never as good without him, he never comes as hard, and he misses being able to savour the comedown looking at Cloud's face and holding him close. ]

I better make it up to you, huh? I'm gonna make you come extra for all the times you needed me and I wasn't there.

[ Big talk, but today of all days he feels up to the challenge. ]

[ zack rubs there again, more firmly this time, and cloud lets out a little whine as the feeling sizzles through him. already, two fingers isn't enough. especially when he can feel zack's dick pressing up against his thigh, hot and hard and eager, and just the knowledge of how good it's gonna feel when zack finally sinks into him is making cloud's brain short circuit.

the next sound cloud makes is distinctly more impatient, trying to rock his hips down even harder against the fingers zack has inside him. ] Zack, yeah. Make it up to me, I want --

[ Okay, he'd said he wasn't going to tease, but Cloud sounds so good and the grumpy sound he makes as he presses against Zack's fingers is so cute that he can't resist. He was pretty sloppy with the lube, not watching what he was doing because he was watching Cloud, and there's enough of it still on his hand that he just goes ahead and adds a third finger. A little extra stretch as a reward for how sweet he's being, and he starts working them inside Cloud with more intent - pressing in deep, sliding out almost all the way, and making sure to rub over his prostate with each slide. ]

Good thing we've got some time off. It's gonna take a lot to get you there as many times as you deserve.

[ It's kinda crazy. He always likes it when the getting ready part turns into its own thing, just savoring the ways he can make Cloud feel good, but today it's electrifying. Singing through his body, every little sound Cloud makes feeling nearly as good as if Zack was in him already. It makes him groan low as he tips his face to catch Cloud's mouth in a hungry kiss, fucking those fingers into him all the way through. ]

[ zack slides a third finger into him, and the feeling of it sets off little fireworks inside cloud's skull. it's good, even though it doesn't even start to compare to how good it feels to have zack inside him. but he'd also be lying if he tried to downplay the way it feels when zack starts fucking him with his fingers; he arches up with a little cry that zack stifles when he moves to kiss him, trying to spread his legs wider in a silent bid for more.

it's kind of nice, actually, that zack is so busy kissing him that cloud doesn't have to be embarrassed about all the noises zack is wringing out of him while he's pumping his fingers into cloud. but! he breaks it after a few long moments, because -- ]

D-Don't wanna come on your fingers, though. [ trying to sound bossy! and confident! because he knows zack is into that, even if being so forward about it is making cloud's face burn. ] I want --

[ And just like that, Zack's plan to make Cloud do both evaporates. Cloud sounds so sure, and Zack wants to give him whatever he wants - but it's also always so hot when Cloud gets like that. He's such a good boy most of the time, so Zack can't help feeling like that bossy side of him is something special, just for Zack. He kisses Cloud again, a quick little thing with a smile on his lips. ]

Yeah. Whatever you want. Fuck, I love it when you talk to me like that. When you tell me what you need.

[ And if he wants to encourage it he better do as he's told, right? So his gives one final lingering press before he slips his fingers out slow, moves as quickly as he can to slick himself up with lube and still be thorough about it before he repositions himself . And usually he asks Cloud if he's ready, and sometimes Cloud will reward him by being the bossiest he ever gets, but not today. Today Cloud is gonna get just what he needs.

Zack lines himself up, presses until he feels that first delicious give as Cloud's body lets him in. It's instantly good, Cloud's so hot inside and still tight enough to be incredible even though Zack was kinda going at him with his fingers before. It's always good but today it's all heightened, every feeling amplified. Zack gasps at the feel of it, something that turns into a low moan as he slides himself in deeper, deeper, each extra inch feeling like it's wrapping his whole body in pleasure -

and then it's too much, the bliss of it overwhelming, and he feels himself throb inside of Cloud as sparks of white light crowd his vision and he comes. ]

[ cloud knows zack has to pull his fingers out if he's going to give cloud what cloud is demanding, but still. immediately, the sense of loss is enough to make him whine, and he can feel the way his body clenches helplessly like it's trying to compensate for the way that zack left him empty.

he's just lucky that it seems like zack is just as impatient to be inside him, honestly. because there's barely any pause at all before zack is settling himself between cloud's legs and starting to press inside, and -- ]

Oh. [ it comes out caught between a moan and a sigh, and cloud arches as zack slides into him. they've done it enough by now for the stretch to almost feel natural -- it's intense, but it also satisfies something his entire body has been aching for. it always feels like zack belongs inside him, like everything in cloud's body knows that this is exactly where he's supposed to be.

and once zack is finally fully buried inside him, cloud starts to sigh out something brainless about how good it feels, but. but.

did zack just --?

the feeling of zack spilling himself inside him is pretty unmistakable, but...! they haven't even... done anything, yet! it doesn't help that cloud's brain always has a hard time with the whole business of thoughts when he's got zack inside him, so. uh. all he manages is a bewildered little: ] ... Zack?

Fuck.

[ He feels good, all the pleasure of it still surging in him, and it's hard to square that with the embarrassment of what just happened. He's never come that fast before! Not even the first time! And here's Cloud, so beautiful, who was just telling Zack how much he needed it -

this will not stand. He starts moving anyway, desperate to do whatever he can for Cloud before he goes soft. ]

I can still -

[ Whatever he can still, we're not finding out. He's going slow-ish, like he always does when they just start, but it feels good enough to scatter his thoughts completely. Like this is what he's meant to do, pleasure and reward sparking through him, and he hums warmly at the feel of it. ]

It's okay!

[ immediately, almost tripping over himself in a rush to make zack feel better. it's not like cloud hasn't come embarrassingly fast after some of the things zack has done to him! if anything, it's kind of a compliment, right? they can just take a bit to let zack recover, and then -- ] Oh!

[ which is kind of a stupid thing to say, but it gets startled out of him at the first roll of zack's hips. cloud is already embarrassingly keyed up just from zack's fingers and the things he's been saying; really, there's no bigger turn-on than zack wanting him. so even though zack is moving slowly, it's enough to make everything in cloud light up with little sparkler-flares of sensation. ] Zack, wow, are you --

[ sure? that's what he means to say, but it gets washed away and forgotten when zack hits a spot inside cloud that makes him moan. ]

[ Cloud reassuring him is fucking devastating - disappointing someone is awful, but disappointing someone so good and kind is a crime - but then he moans, and Zack's whole brain just lights up. Pride, pleasure, the determination to make Cloud make that sound again. So he repeats the movement, a little faster now, because Cloud is his and he's going to make sure Cloud gets whatever he can give him before the inevitable happens.

It doesn't feel like he's starting to go soft, though. He feels amazing. Sunk in pleasure but strong, bright, more alive. He's senstive after coming so fast, but that's good too - instead of being overwhelming it's energizing, and he drops his face to Cloud's shoulder and bites gently there with the next thrust. ]

[ this is --?!

there is a (very small) part of cloud's brain that's still going ???, because he's pretty sure this is... out of the ordinary. even for someone like zack, who is packed full of some of the finest mako enhancements the shinra science department has on offer.

but it's also quickly being drowned out by how good it feels to have zack moving inside him, and... fuck, maybe it's just better to go with the flow. (or at least shut up not not ruin how amazing this is.)

zack's mouth finds cloud's shoulder, and cloud can feel the little pinch of teeth as he nips at him. something about it feels like it sets his brain on fire -- zack is always careful with him, considerate and honorable, and it's rare for him to be in the kind of mood to leave marks. but cloud is finding that he's absolutely, one hundred percent into the idea, so. ]

Zack -- Can you, I want -- [ it's embarrassing to say it out loud, but. he drops his voice, turns his face until he's nearly nuzzling up against zack's temple. ] ... I want you to leave a mark other people are gonna see.

[ Of course, baby, whatever you want. That's what Zack wants to say - what he should say. Instead, just hearing it - knowing that Cloud wants it, wants to wear a little mark that claims him as Zack's - has him almost growling. The next roll of his hips is deeper, harder, and then he ducks his face to nuzzle up against Cloud's neck. His teeth close on a little patch of skin that's high, just under the curve of his jaw, too high to be hidden be the scarf of his uniform unless Cloud fixes it just so, and after a little nip he sucks hard. Hard enough that there's no question at all about whether it'll leave a mark, one that'll be with him for days, if not more. Doing it feels so right that he's smiling against Cloud's skin as he licks over it to soothe, and the smile only gets wider when he shifts to admire his work. ]

Beautiful. Now everyone who looks at you is gonna see the proof that you're mine. You're mine, and I'm yours, forever.

[ the way zack times that harder thrust with his teeth sinking into cloud’s throat is enough to send a lightning bolt of sensation through cloud. he cries out, forgetting altogether to even try stifling it — there’s nothing in his head but how good zack feels inside him, the throb at that little spot that lets him know zack’s left a mark.

and then? when zack says that? it’s so hot that cloud thinks he’s gonna go crazy, rolling his hips down against zack’s just to chase more of that sensation. ]

Zack — That’s so — [ he drags zack down to him for a greedy kiss, nipping at zack’s lower lip like he’s trying to egg him on. ] So hot when you say it, I want everyone to know.

[ Zack would think that was hot at the best of times, but now? With this heat running through him, making Cloud not just the most important thing in the world but the only important thing, it sets him aflame. He pours it all into that kiss, hungry, but he can't keep it up for long - the deep roll of his hips is getting faster, more determined, and he has to break the kiss just to avoid banging their heads together. ]

Good. They should know. You're mine, and I'm gonna take care of you. Give you everything you need, always -

[ hearing that from zack? it's like a drug. zack always puts other people first, unselfish to a fault, and to think the thing that makes him greedy is cloud? it sends a bolt of heat straight through him that settles at the pit of his belly and coils up tight.

zack fucks him like he knows cloud's body inside and out, like he knows just hot to hit every single spot that feels good. and when his rhythm starts to pick up speed, cloud feels like there's a real risk he's going to come apart at the seams. his nails are digging lines down zack's back as cloud tries to clutch at him, voice breaking around little moans and mewls he's only half-aware he's making. ]

Yeah, yes, I want -- Z-Zack, you're the only one who knows how to take care of me like this, no one else could -- [ the next roll of zack's hips into him has him bottoming out completely, and the sentence breaks apart on a whine. ] You fill me up just right.

'cause I'm meant for you. Me for you, and you for me. Just like this. I'm so lucky you're mine.

[ He means it, more than ever. He's usually happy they're together, in a walking-on-air kind of way that wonders what the odds are of meeting someone so perfect for you so early in life, but today it's a fire in him. Proud, possessive, greedily soaking up the beautiful sounds Cloud makes and hoarding them close like a dragon with its treasure. He's Cloud's and Cloud is his, and the pleasure he takes in knowing that thrums through every sound he makes, every deep snap of his hips, and the way he fastens his mouth over the mark blooming at Cloud's throat to make it darker. ]

[ zack latches his mouth back to cloud’s neck, and cloud can tell from just how sensitive it is that it must be the same spot he’d bitten before. and just the thought that zack wants it to be more noticeable, wants to make sure it stays —

that right coil of heat at the pit of cloud’s belly snaps, and he cries out sharply as he goes tumbling off the edge of an orgasm. his voice breaks around the sound of zack’s name, but it’s even hard to get that out with zack still fucking into him so deep and hard it makes him dizzy. ]

[ Perfect. Cloud is perfect, and this is too - maybe it's just because he knows Cloud so well by now, but Zack can feel when it's coming, the moments just before Cloud hits his climax. It's like he's brighter, a warm and beautiful sun and Zack wishes he could bury himself in Cloud entirely. Not just his cock (though he does that too, fucking Cloud through it, wanting to make sure it's as good for him as it can be) but all of himself, like he could live in Cloud and become part of him, devote all that he is to keeping him safe and happy.

And then Cloud does come, and Zack feels that too. The way he always does, when Cloud arches against him and clutches at him, when his body clenches around Zack and makes it so much more intense that Zack almost always follows right after him. He does, chanting Cloud's name, lost in it, burying himself deep as he can go and feeling himself throb in time with the pulse of Cloud around him. It's wonderful - bone-deep pleasure thrumming through him, lighting him up from the inside, and when the strongest of it has past he stays right where he is. Hips slowed to a gentle rocking, slow enough that he can tip his face down to kiss Cloud deep in gratitude and adoration. ]

[ it's amazing. the way having zack inside him always seems to draw out cloud's orgasms into something mind-melting, the way zack presses himself deep inside cloud when he follows him over that edge, even the way zack wants to kiss him slow and deep and adoring while they're both coming down. amazing, too good to be real, impossible for cloud to even start to deserve. ]

Wow. [ breathless and more than a little dazed, still clutching at zack like there's some risk he'll pull away. ] That was --

... not on the recovery sheet. [ cloud would know! he read it four times! ]

Yeah, this is new.

[ He's laughing as he says it, still rocking his hips into Cloud in tiny increments because it still feels so good. A lot, sure, but not too much, and he's too blissed-out on the feel of coming together to think too hard about it. ]

Maybe it's just you. 'cause you're so hot. Guess I'll find out when the debrief reports start coming in and nobody else was crazy horny.

[ How could he not be? Cloud's gorgeous. All pink-cheeked and dark-eyed the way he gets after, and he still feels so nice inside. Warm and soft, and wet now too, and the thought of why makes Zack rumble a little hum in his throat as he presses close and makes an experimental little circling motion with his hips. ]

I'm gonna have to list you in the additional factors section. Possible contamination of data due to hottest boyfriend ever.

[ zack is still moving inside him, and even if it's just tiny little rolls of his hips, it's still enough to make cloud's brain hiss with static. he's always extra-sensitive right after an orgasm, and the way zack keeps shifting teasingly inside him isn't letting any of those little nerve endings settle back down. ]

Don't you -- ah -- dare. [ trying to sound intimidating, but failing utterly when the way zack rolls his hips just makes cloud go breathless and hazy-eyed. ] I don't wanna debrief with some scientist about that.

It's the rules! I'll get in trouble if I leave out important details like that. You don't want me to get in trouble, baby?

[ There's a joking note of pleading in that that loses something when Zack leans to kiss Cloud and finishes it by nipping at his bottom lip just as he rocks his hips forward again, slow but absolutely determined to stay as deep in Cloud as he can. That feels so good that he repeats it, drawing out more than he'd like just so he can have that sweet inward slide all over again. And there is not a single thought in his little head about how that's unusual - or that it's already unusual that he's come twice in such close succession with no downtime. No room for them, when his brain is entirely occupied with Cloud. ]

I'll stick to the basics. I won't tell them how hot and tight you are inside, how sometimes just seeing you makes me start to get hard 'cause I know what it's like.
