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.

[ that thrust is enough to make cloud cry out, arching up underneath zack as the feeling sings through him. he's so sensitive it almost hurts, toes curling hard enough to make his calves cramp, but it's like his body still can't get enough of zack. ]

Yeah. Yeah, Zack, I want -- [ cut off by another moan as zack rolls his hips into him again, lashes fluttering and mouth falling open in a pant. but he catches the train of thought again as soon as he recovers, hips rocking greedily to try to match the way zack is moving in him. ] Wanna hear you tell me what you're gonna do to me as soon as you get home. It always -- [ it should be impossible for him to flush any redder, but somehow cloud manages. licks his lips, pushes on! ] It always f-feels so much better when you... wh-when you make me come on your c-cock.

Fuck. Yeah, Cloud, I wanna do that for you. Wanna give you the best, always. Make you feel so good you're proud I only ever wanna do it for you.

[ He's so good. Laying there all flushed, twitching and arching in Zack's grip, his come from before still wet on his stomach but he's still pushing against Zack, working to get them there - Zack's so lucky, so lucky he could cry, and the knowledge of it makes every sweet thrust into Cloud feel even better. It's so good he's halfway to delirious with it, and as he settles into the rhythm of fucking Cloud properly the tradeoff is that he almost forgets how to speak. It's just babble falling from his lips, Cloud's name over and over. Knowing that Cloud knows he likes the view makes him a feral thing and he pushes Cloud's thighs back towards him, spreading him as far as he thinks he can without making it uncomfortable. The sound of it is obscene, wet noises as he slides in over and over only enhancing the way his voice jolts when his hips meet the curve of Cloud's ass. ]

Just you. Cloud, you're so good, I only want you - want you all the time -

Zack!

[ it feels like cloud is gonna go crazy with it. like one person was never meant to handle feeling this good; he already feels like he could burst at the seams with it, but the way zack starts fucking him into earnest just keeps driving it higher.

and the way zack bends him back even further, makes it obvious that he's drinking the sight of cloud in? it's so hot that it makes cloud feel like his brains are going to melt right out of his ears. even the persistent little buzz of embarrassment only adds to it, an extra layer of sensation on top of what's already too much. ] Zack, Zack, please --

Y-You're gonna make me -- I'm so close, I n-need --

[ halfway to nonsense, the muscles in his thighs twitching and jerking as every thrust drives him closer to that glass-sharp edge. ]

Beautiful.

[ He is, he always is. And Zack wants to make sure Cloud has everything he needs, always. It would be so easy to reach down and get him there with a hand on his cock - but he's just said how much better it is the other way and in a total disregard for the way this has always worked before, Zack's sure he can do it. He shifts Cloud's hips a little higher, angles himself a little better so every thrust will send the head of his dick right up against Cloud's prostate. It better work, because the change in angle makes it that much better for him, too, the heat of it a fire searing through him. ]

Cloud. Do it for me, baby, let me see you. Let me feel you. Not gonna stop until I hear it -

[ And that's true, too. It feels like he's gone a little mad, lost in the feeling of it, the sound of Cloud's pleasure, the sight of his perfect face and the way Zack's own dick fills him up. He could lose it any moment now, give in to it, but somehow he knows he won't until Cloud's there too. It spurs him on, hungry, needy, and he fucks Cloud like he needs it to live.

He does. ]

[ zack tugs cloud's hips up just a little higher, changes the angle so that every thrust drives home against that perfect spot inside cloud. he can't even help the sounds he's making -- voice breaking around desperate cries that he's trying to shape into zack's name. his back arches until the muscles of his stomach are trembling, everything in him straining towards that edge that he can feel --

and then with one more hard thrust, zack drives him right over it. and the sound cloud makes as he comes is nearly a wail, the pleasure so sharp and ruthless that it feels like he might shatter. ]

That's it, there you go, you're so gorgeous, baby - I love you so much, you're so perfect for me -

[ Cruelly, Zack holds himself back a moment. Keeps thrusting, deep and determined, lets go of one of Cloud's thighs just to grab his hand and press it low on his abdomen because like this it's gonna be so easy to feel the way his cock presses into Cloud, shifting inside him. It's just so much, it's all so much, and he feels like it's tearing him apart in the most beautiful way but he needs it to be done. So he holds off, lets himself watch Cloud shaking apart around him, soaks up the sound he makes and the way his body draws tight as a bowstring and makes him reckon with the way the thrust of Zack's cock ripples under his belly, knowing that nothing in the world could ever undo him the way Cloud does. The way knowing he's taken good care of Cloud does.

It doesn't take long. Four, maybe five deep and frantic snaps of his hips and then the way Cloud squeezes around him pulls him over the edge, this third (and hopefully final) orgasm so much that the edges of his vision crowd with flecks of black and red. He pulls Cloud onto him, making sure he's as deep as he can be when he spills in him, and the sound of Cloud's name on his lips is a howl, wild and triumphant. ]

Zaaaack!

[ it tears out almost like a sob, tears clumping wetly on cloud's lashes as zack fucks him right past the point of overload. every thrust floods him with more of that brilliant, sharp pleasure, and zack presses cloud's hand low on his own belly and makes sure cloud knows exactly what's doing it to him. just feeling the way zack moves inside him is enough to make him crazy; there's no way anyone else could do this for him, fill him up exactly the way cloud needs it, and --

then zack is slamming into him as deeply as he can go, and cloud can feel the way he's coming even without that wild sound to mark it. it's a spreading heat at the pit of his belly that adds to what's already there -- he has a dizzy, wild thought that it'll be so much his lower stomach might swell just slightly with it before it starts to spill out again, and just the idea is enough to make him moan. his breathing is coming in shuddering little hiccups, muscles still shivering and twitching with electric aftershocks. ]

[ It's so good. It's perfect, and the wild howl he makes give way to one last hiccuping gasp and something almost like a whimper. ]

Cloud, Cloud -

[ He's too far away. Miles away, feels like, and he lowers himself back down - gingerly, because every nerve in him is singing with overload and moving feels sharp and overwhelming, but he can't bear not to hold Cloud. Kisses him deep when he gets there, messy and inelegant, as lacking in finesse as it is eager. He could melt away to nothing like this, and it would be worth it. To go like this, every part of him singing a hymn to Cloud. He licks at Cloud's mouth, sucks at his lip, breaks it just to bury his face in Cloud's hair and breathe him in, humming. ]

You're so good. So perfect for me. I love you so much.

[ he's too blissed out to be able to kiss zack back very effectively, but there's still a little sigh of protest when zack pulls away. but that's soothed by the fact that zack is settling back down over him until they're pressed together again, and even though they're both sweaty and sticky and objectively gross, it's still good. he reaches up to wrap his arms around zack's shoulders, determined to hold him there despite the fact that every inch of him feels boneless and shivery. ]

Love you. [ it comes out a little slurred around the edges, muffled by the fact that he's got his face shoved in zack's shoulder. ]

[ He breathes out just hearing that, a sigh, soft and warm. He already felt calmer but just that is enough to have the last little zips of tension dissolving out of him, leaving him floaty and boneless. He wants to stay right where he is, but he's conscious of how much heavier he is than Cloud and uses the final shreds of energy in him to roll them, so Cloud's draped over him instead of squished under him, and that? Is perfect. ]

I feel... good.

[ It's an understatement, except in comparison to how he usually feels after a treatment. Limp and drained, sure, but in a bad way. Not this, not something suffused in warmth and affection. He lifts one heavy hand just enough to cup at the back of Cloud's head, stroking tenderly through his hair. ]

Should have you here for every treatment.

[ the feeling of zack shifting is enough to prompt a drowsy little whine of protest. but cloud settles back down as soon as he realizes that zack isn't actually trying to pull away -- and even though he already misses the feeling of having zack's weight pressing down on him, this is good, too. he rubs his cheek sleepily against zack's chest, making a low sound of contentment as zack's fingers card through his hair. ]

Mmhmm? [ he's not quite back to the point of being able to form words. ]
