#7 of A Lions Obsession


Cloud felt ridiculous; no not just ridiculous... he felt like he was insane! Here he was tracking the movements of someone who had been nothing but sweet to him as if he was a fucking criminal. He felt like an ass as he followed Squall, keeping a safe distance away so as to go unnoticed, in the crowded street. He was lugging around a few shopping bags of groceries; his apartment was only a few blocks away so their was no point in driving. Cloud silently was thankful for that; he wasn't sure he could 'blend in' while following Squall with Fenrir.

It would be absolutely impossible.....

Cloud's once strong resolve to find out what exactly Squall was hiding was beginning to fade in defeat. Was he wrong about the boy? Then why did he have such a strong gut feeling? He had already followed the unsuspecting boy for hours and nothing really seemed to be out of the ordinary. He got up and went through a quick morning routine; none to different from his own. He had gotten something to eat for breakfast; took a shower.... Which Cloud didn't, though he was tempted, watch in on... It felt wrong to do so no matter how tempting it was. After his shower and a change of clothes he tidied up his place and set out for the day.

Cloud was surprised to find that Squall worked in a small garage; Cloud assumed a self owned tiny business. He didn't stick around to long after Squall made it to work; he had to eat something since he skipped out on breakfast to begin his fun adventure 'stalking'.... watching.... Squall's activities. He did watch a bit and was amazed at the boy's craftsmanship; it seemed he did everything from restoration; modifications; and other metal works. He thought it strange that Squall had never mentioned such a thing; really it was something he could surely be proud of but it wasn't like Cloud really asked him what he did for a living in the first place.

A while later he was done working and Cloud was following behind him once again; and thus this led him to the street following the boy home after he finished his grocery shopping. He looked like he was picking up a few things for a decent sized meal; a little too generous for just one person. Cloud felt a spark of; not hope, he truly didn't wish for any of his suspicions to be true; but he felt a spark against his interests again. Maybe he wasn't crazy? But just the fact alone that the boy bought extra food really meant nothing; he might just be a heavy eater and he's making enough for lunch the next day. It would make sense; but as Cloud watched Squall dig in his pocket he felt another spark; one of anxiety. Squall pulled out his cell phone and punched in a number; Cloud inched a little closer to see if he could read the numbers but failed miserably; he couldn't get any closer without alerting the other boy of his presence. The phone was soon pressed against his ear as he continued walking towards his home; Cloud held his breath.

Finally! Maybe some kind of....

Cloud nearly yelped as he jumped at the vibration and loud ring tone blaring from his cell phone; Cloud turned quickly and fumbled trying to silence the phone before he alerted the other.

ShitshitshitshitSHIT!

Cloud breathed a sigh of relief as the phone finally silenced only to stiffen as he felt a familiar paw rest on his shoulder, "I thought you'd be working all day; I was going to call to see if you wanted dinner tonight after work.."

Cloud fought the response to gulp and tried desperately not to lose the color from his face," T-tif' let me leave early... A couple orders were canceled...," Cloud spoke softly turning around and forcing a smile as he looked up at Squall. Squall tilted his head slightly with a small smirk, "Were you on your way to see me?"

Cloud blushed; well I've been watching you for the better half of the day so that would be a stupid question..., "I-I was going to see if you were home... yeah.."

Squall's smirk only grew wider, "Perfect; a early dinner sound good?"

Cloud only nodded his smile growing a little softer as the tension began to dissipate. That was far to close for his comfort; he felt bad that Squall seemed to be so gullible. He had supplied a rather half-assed excuse for his little escapade and thankfully the other feline seemed to buy into it. God only knew how he would react should Cloud tell him that he was keeping an eye on him all day off a mere gut feeling. It would no doubt both hurt and scare off the boy; Cloud had assumed. Or at least that's how Cloud would feel; Squall was nothing but nice and comforting and this is how he repaid him? Following him around with some sadistic desire that Squall was at fault for Zack's doing? What kind of person was he for trying to pin Zack's faults onto someone else? He was selfish; absolutely selfish. He was disgusted with himself that he thought ill of Squall; it was his weak heart overriding his logic. What Zack had done; Zack had done... and no one else was at fault.. and he wouldn't get the wolf back. There was no excuse for the lupine and Cloud reminded himself rather painfully that he just needed to accept that and move on. There was no sense in him tormenting himself and inevitably hurting others over it.

After a slight pause as Cloud lost himself in guilt-ridden thoughts Squall brought his paw up to gently caress the Grey toned cheek, "Cloud..?"

Cloud blinked out of his daze realizing he was leaning into the touch; that was strange..., "Yeah.. sorry. I guess I zoned out a little."

Squall twitched his lips into a quick smile, "Shall we?"

Cloud nodded smiling a little brighter; he was wrong about Squall, sure he was a little off at times but that was no reason to foot blame or suspicion on the boy. Cloud interlocked his fingers with Squall's and smiled as Squall's features seemed to soften to a almost dream like state. It was really flattering how much the simple things Cloud did effected Squall; it seemed strange at first but that was only misguided speculation and that's what Cloud decided to dismiss it as.

Once to the apartment Cloud allowed his eyes to glance around; it seemed simple, not small but not large. A most comfortable living quarters for one person; perhaps two, it would be a tight fit but comfortable none the less. Cloud quickly dismissed those thoughts as he examined the place a bit more. The living room had only the necessities; a couch, a coffee table, end table, ample lighting and a rather large television; toss in a couple of plants along with a simple throw rug and that was about it. Cloud fought the urge to frown that there didn't seem to be pictures on the walls or pretty much anywhere in sight; he was looking forward to seeing a few. It would certainly allow him a quick glance to more of Squall's life; his eyes followed Squall as the boy retreated to the kitchen. He followed not to far behind and smiled at the medium sized room; although not very large it was practically all brand new appliances and fixtures. The cabinets were all new; a light cherry oak finish, matching cupboards and counters; the counter top a beautiful black speckled marble, all the appliances stainless steel. The tiles were sand stone and seemed to melt perfectly in with the rest of the room, "This is a really beautiful kitchen.."

Squall looked over ignoring his previous task of pulling out the items from his shopping bags, "Thank you; I'm slowly trying to work on the other rooms as well. The only other room finished is the bathroom; I think I'll work on the living room next... it's rather dull."

Cloud shook his head smiling a bit more, "So you did this all by yourself?"

Squall smirked, "For the most part; I believe if there's something you want you have to go for it yourself until you get it..."

Cloud's smile almost wavered but he didn't see Squall notice thankfully; for some reason Cloud couldn't help but feel like there was something he was missing in Squall's words. Perhaps a hidden meaning...? He quickly scolded himself mentally; He offers you dinner and invites you to his home and here you are questioning his motives once again.. Stop being such an asshole Strife...

"Can I help you with dinner?"

Squall nodded and motioned for him to come stand next to him at the counter, "I should have asked really if you liked the dish, but I was going to make shrimp, asparagus, sun-dried tomato penne pasta in a red wine sauce." Cloud surprised only blinked which made Squall frown slightly, "I can make something else if you don't..."

"No-no no. That sounds wonderful," Cloud stopped him; he didn't mean to make the boy worry for his dinner choice he just wasn't used to such meals. Zack's idea of a fancy dinner was a can of beer and a chicken finger and cheese fry hungry man TV dinner. Cloud had a certain weakness for Italian foods so it was quite perfect, "I actually love Italian; I can make some desert if you like. Something simple though, I can't cook quite so extravagantly." Cloud spoke teasingly as he nudged the boy with his hip, "Peanut butter cookies are my specialty."

Squall smirked as he placed his right oaw on Clouds hip leaning forward so his lips barely touched Cloud's ear; eyes and index finger of his left paw pointing to the small pantry across from them, "Anything you need will be in there..."

Cloud almost shivered wetting his lips with his tongue; the paw on his hip having a quite similar reaction to his body. Squall fascinated him at times; the boy's touch had effected him much like Zack's own touch had, it was almost scary. And even though he had his doubts about the boy he felt strangely comfortable around him; the boy really hadn't proved to be other than honorable so there was really no basis to his previous suspicions... so this is... ok...isn't it?

"Thank you..," Cloud breathed at last as he made his way to the pantry; after a short moment he pulled out a jar of peanut butter and a bag of sugar; placing them on the counter he walked to the fridge to grab an egg as Squall began to peel shrimp and slice them into quarters. Squall supplied him with a mixing bowl and raised his brow, "That's all you needed?"

Cloud smirked, "Yup. One cup sugar. One cup peanut butter and an egg. It's the best recipe for peanut butter cookies." Cloud had to suppress the memory of Zack and himself arguing over who held the best cookie recipe; Cloud, after shoving his own homemade cookie that Zack refused to eat -"cause' his were bettha," as he put it..- down Zack's gullet, won approval for the title of ‘the best peanut butter cookie making ‘kitten' in the universe' - at least that was what Zack deemed him.

"Strange, I can't wait to try one," Squall smiled warmly as he went back to prepping his own meal. After slicing the asparagus in diagonal slices he tossed them in a skillet along with some olive oil. After a few minutes he placed the asparagus into a large pot and started to boil the penne noodles. Cloud watched him intently as he stirred his own concoction. Squall then tossed the shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes in the skillet alone with some minced garlic and a few seasonings. He stepped to the side of the stove as Cloud finished placing his cookies on the cookie sheet and slid them in the oven.

He couldn't help but chuckle as Squall stirred the contents of the skillet waiting for the shrimp to turn an opaque white; Squall only grinned in question to the sudden laughter of the blonde angel before him.

Cloud straightened himself up as he spoke in a very TV spokesman like way, "So Squall; What is it that you're making us today?"

Squall smirked before smiling and speaking in a very Rachael Ray like manner, "Why my favorite Italian dish of course! Right now our asparagus is set off to the side and as soon as the shrimp fully cook we can drain the noodles. I promise it will be really De-Lish!"

The two felines filled the room with laughter and Cloud nudged the lion, "Seriously this is a rather Betty Crocker meets Martha Stewart like moment."

Squall laughed again, "I suppose you're right; we'll have to add some testosterone to the mix. Action flick and some beer maybe?"

Cloud faked a mock pout, " I was soooo looking forward to the white wine," Cloud chuckled, "Beer will do I suppose."

Cloud couldn't help but admire the way Squall laughed; it was heart warming. The boy; when he first met him seemed so weak and helpless; but after his chance meetings with the other he was beginning to see a whole new side to Squall. He saw a lion; not cowering in fear or helpless; but strong willed, fiercely determined, and very independent. He had his moments but for the most part Cloud found his intentions were good and he really, other than his now obnoxious instincts, was finding it hard not to put complete trust and faith in the boy. He even dared to say he might slowly be developing a small crush on the boy. And even though his previous suspicions were not so far behind him they all seemed forgotten at the moment. The whole reason he even ending up at Squall's home escaped him as they finished dinner. Squall combined the noodles and condiments added a red wine spaghetti sauce and grated some mozzarella cheese; after giving it a quick stir over the warm burner he grabbed two bowls and filled them. Handing them to Cloud he moved over to the fridge and grabbed out two beers; both moving into the living room they set their drinks and food down.

"You know what you'd like to watch," Squall inquired.

"What movies do you have?"

Squall shrugged, "I own quite a few; think of a real manly one. I think it'll save our pride as males after our little cook off," Squall spoke in a sarcastic and joking tone.

Cloud thought momentarily and replied just as sarcastically, "The notebook?"

Squall chuckled, "For some reason I don't think that would help our case."

Cloud smirked, "Perhaps not; why don't you surprise me?"

Squall nodded and turned to the never ending rack of DVD's; how Cloud didn't notice them before was beyond him; the case was HUGE! Squall finally decided on a movie; setting everything up he pressed play and retreated to sit next to his angel. As they started to eat Squall couldn't help the small smirk that crossed his features. The boy next to him focused rather intently on consuming said meal before him; Squall felt pride that he could pleasure the boy even in taste. Food of course wasn't the only thing he wanted to pleasure Cloud's sense of taste with; but it was a rewarding feeling none the less. As they continued; or rather Cloud continued to watch the movie; Squall watched his angel out of the corner of his eye. Should he try to take things a little further tonight; it killed him having the boy in such close proximity and not touch him; kiss him; god just to ravage the angel before him. Everything was going so well tonight; he didn't want to ruin his moment with his blonde obsession.

After finishing Cloud smiled, "That really was delicious; thank you."

Squall smiled softly placing his own empty bowl down on the coffee table, "I'm glad you enjoyed it. How about those cookies?"

Cloud smiled, "I'll go grab a couple."

Cloud moved to the kitchen to grab a couple of his 'infamous' cookies; making sure to grab another two beers as well. Coming back into the room he handed a beer and cookie to the other male who supplied him with a low laughter.

"What.." Cloud asked a little confused.

"Cookies and beer; this is probably the most masculine dish by far tonight," Squall chuckled.

Cloud only laughed at the realization of eating such a strange combination before sitting down next to Squall. He watched as the boy nearly moaned as he took a bite into the cookie; Cloud had to bite his lip. He took a bite of his own cookie and smiled contently as he closed his eyes. His eyes snapped open after he left a warm slick tip of a tongue, Squall's tongue, lick up a few crumbs that accumulated on Cloud's lips. Cloud shuddered and his eyes fell shut was more; he felt Squall's breath linger for a moment before it slowly started to retreat, "I-I'm sorr..."

Cloud pulled Squall's lips rather forcibly to his own silencing the unnecessary apology; moving his own tongue to pick up the remnants of Squall's own peanut butter cookie. Cloud's fingers intertwined with Squall's hair firmly grasping the back of his skull. Their lips parted from each others ever so slightly quickened breaths dancing over each others lips. Their eyes both fluttered open half-lidded as they searched each others orbs; Cloud felt the now familiar touch of Squall's paw cupping his face, thumb softly strumming over his flushed cheek.

Cloud's free paw grasped tightly at Squall's shirt; unsure of what he should do. He wanted to pull the boy flush against him; he wanted to push him to the couch; wanted to make the beautiful gray blue orbs he was staring into glaze over in pleasure. Lust and passion burned brightly in Squall's orbs and Cloud's own bright blue eyes displayed his own desperate needs.

"Squall...," Cloud's voice was husky and he visibly noted Squall's body shiver at his named being called. It was time to throw caution to the wind. He didn't need to blame someone else for Zack. He didn't need to forgive Zack or wait for the boy. Zack made up his mind; now Cloud needed to make his own up. Was he to keep suspecting others and secluding himself or was he going to grow up and move on. Cloud decided; enough was enough. No matter what they had together; no matter how painful it was; he wouldn't be Zack's damaged doll.

Cloud pressed his lips back into Squall's tracing his tongue along the boy's soft complainant lips. Squall opened his mouth allowing Cloud entrance as their tongues brushed over each other. The taste of sweetened peanut butter causing both big cats to smirk. Cloud shifted to sit up and slowly pressed Squall back onto the couch.

Squall felt himself growing harder and harder by the second; the graceful tongue and lips of his angel dancing over his own were maddening. Squall moaned as Cloud pushed him onto his back; Cloud's paws pressed firmly against either side of his hips. Cloud's thumbs locked under the fabric of Squall's shirt as his paws danced up against Squall's sides; effectively moving the shirt along with it. As the newly offered stomach became visible Cloud made sure to trace soft kisses and small bites against the rock hard abs; slender hips and sides. Squall's back arched and his breath hissed past his lips; his angel covered every inch of his eager body with his lips. Soon Cloud reached the shirt just under Squall's arms; he pressed Squall's arms in permission to move them above his head to take the annoying fabric away from his body. Squall complied but instead of removing the shirt Cloud pulled the fabric up just enough to trap his arms above his head and expose the boys lips. Cloud allowed his lips to claim their way up Squall's neck and up to his boxed muzzle stopping at the corner of his lips. Cloud moved away slightly letting only his breath indicate exactly where his lips hovered over Squall's. Squall followed the breath and tried to follow the lips; searching desperately to claim his angel's lips once again.

Cloud smirked watching the boy bite his lip; moving with him trying to find his lips. Cloud, to tease the boy more, occasionally brushed his lips against the others; sometimes even softly nibbling the boy's lips.

Cloud dug his own growing erection against Squall's moaning softly against the boy's lips before claiming them. The heated kiss was almost bruising; tongues fighting over dominance. Their breaths becoming ragged and quick as pure desire began to take control over them. The desire to touch, to feel. The desire to experience each other in a new way. Cloud finally allowed Squall's shirt to be tossed free from his body; immediately paws moved to cup the boy's plump ass pushing his hips down into his own. Cloud threw his head back as he gasped while Squall took the opportunity to kiss, bite, and nibble at the exposed neck. Cloud's paws felt lost at the moment; the only thing he could do was slide one paw to grip at the boys brunette locks as he other loosely hung behind the boys back. Squall tugged against the boys own shirt as Cloud's paw played against the bare fur of his back, "Take this off..."

Cloud quickly stripped his own shirt and Squall moaned at the sight of his lovers beautiful toned chest and stomach; his paws immediately memorizing every muscle as he traced the firm tones. Cloud moved himself down to claim Squall's lips before moving lower to his neck. He sucked gently at the exposed junction between his shoulder and neck; occasionally biting and caressing the abused area with his warm tongue. All the while Cloud made quick work of Squall's pants; Squall lifted his hips to help the boy remove them from his body. Squall felt his angel's lips twist up to a smirk as a paw grasped his painfully hard cock; the upturned lips trailed to his nipples. Warm hot breath tickled them to life; Cloud took the hardened flesh into his maw lapping it with his tongue. Cloud listened to the sound of Squall's moan as he bucked his cock in Cloud's paw. Cloud held him firmly at the base as he lifted his lips back just to blow his warm breath against Squall's dampened nipple. Squall instead of feeling the warmth; felt cool air harden his nipple. He bit his bottom lip as a low moan made it to his lips once more; the things his angel was doing to him. He was in heaven; complete and utter bliss. He closed his eyes taking in a sharp breath as he felt the similar breath now hovering over the head of his erection length. His head flew back with a even louder moan as his angel's lips claimed his length; taking him all the way in till his angel's lips touched his own paw still grasping his base.

"Cl-Cloud," Squall shuttered as Cloud moved his lips back to the tip of his length lapping his tongue along the slit and the vein on the underside before moving completely over it and moving back down to claim every inch once more. Cloud continued his routine assault only pausing for a moment to look up to Squall who was now propping himself up on his elbows to watch the sight before him.

Squall watched his angel; every time he came up he would suck harder before moving down to take him in again. The sight before him was something he had dreamed of; lusted; wanted; needed; but never had he thought it would feel so fucking good. It was so good; too good. He never wanted him to stop; Cloud's free paw traced over the taunt abs of Squall's body and massaged their way down to his thigh kneading the flesh. The paw wandered lower and lower; cupping the lions balls in his paw he slowly massaged them; a stray thumb pressing and massaging right behind them against the sensitive area of skin hidden just before his tailhole. Squall grasped Cloud's hair playing with the snow cats ears gasping for air; he was close. So close; he could take it anymore.

In one swift movement Squall managed to catch Cloud off guard and pin the boy to the other end of the couch. He hastily discarded Cloud's remaining clothes as his lips traveled every inch of the body below him; Cloud a little shocked but not in the least disappointed moaned as Squall moved his maw over his own ignored length. Squall planned on that not lasting much longer; Squall wrapped two fingers around Cloud's cock right under his head as Squall's mouth took in his tip. Squall felt the familiar rise in his heart beat as he heard his love moan his name; Squall purposely allowed himself to moisten his fingers with excess saliva as he began moving up and down Cloud's length. Slowly allowing himself to flick his tongue over Cloud's more sensitive areas of his erection; his wet fingers moving along with his mouth at first until reaching for their real goal. The saliva coated fingers gently moved down to massage Cloud's tailhole. Slowly he stretched Cloud making sure not to hurt him; and as he placed two well coated fingers inside the boy and began to scissor he made sure to suck hard on Cloud's tip while lapping the nerve cluster hidden right below it. Any discomfort he had was disregarded by Squall's most impressive distraction; Cloud couldn't believe the things he was feeling. The things he was doing; the things he was allowing Squall to do. But Gaia did it feel fucking good; and he was damned if he was going to have such physical bliss be ruined.

Squall moved his paw to his maw spitting some excess saliva and pre-cum into his palm before wiping his muzzle and claiming Cloud's lips. He coated himself quickly giving a few long strokes to his aching erection. As their tongues and desperate kisses began Squall pushed himself slowly into his blonde love. Squall had to steady himself as he wanted so bad to throw himself into the angel quivering with pleasure beneath him. As he inched further in he almost felt his eyes roll into the back of his head; the warmth and feeling of his now lover engulfing him was intoxicating. The scent of his sweat pricked body; the glisten and glow of his pale Grey fur; the way he moaned, the way he felt.

"D-Don't tease me," Cloud whimpered wanting to feel more.

Squall couldn't help but give in to his angel's wishes; he couldn't hold himself back any longer. He thrust himself in the first two times at a steady pace; but he wanted more. He wanted to slam himself in; he wanted to hit that spot inside Cloud that he knew he would hit and no longer would anyone else cause the erupting pleasure to cry past Cloud's lips; not Zack, not anyone. He lost himself as he thrust himself deeper and harder; the cries of pleasure that he searched for found as he connected to his loves prostate.

It wasn't long before pure bliss shook through their shaky forms, "C-cum with me..Cloud..Cu-cum..."

Cloud's only response was a quick nod and a loud moan; he was just as close as Squall was; he was right on the edge. White hot heat set in as their stomachs coiled nearing their orgasms. They both cried out as hot fluid coated their stomachs and Squall filled his angel. Squall pulled out with a low groan and pulled Cloud back onto him bringing Cloud's head down to rest on his chest.

Cloud could feel the quick and hard beat of Squall's heart against his head; the desperate rise and fall as he gasped for much need air. Cloud's own chest heaved taking in shallow breaths of oxygen. Cloud's eyes began to drift shut from sheer exhaustion; Squall's fingers danced in his hair as he lulled the boy into sleep, "My angel.."

His voice was soft and Cloud wasn't sure exactly if he heard him or not as he drifted into a heavy sleep. Squall smirked; everything worked out better than he could have imagined. He knew he made a mistake forgetting about his necklace; but it didn't matter. He watched Cloud; he knew what the boy had planned. He knew that the boy would follow him; he couldn't blame his angel... it was his fault that it came to that in the first place. But it didn't matter now; it didn't matter than his angel followed him or that he was suspected by his lover. Surely he wiped any self-doubt the boy had had and now everything was going far better than he thought possible. Cloud was his now; his angel; his love; his life... he had him right now. Squall's own eyes closed as he drifted into sleep... Today could not have gone any smoother...
