It Can't be True
#5 of A Lions Obsession
Zack allowed aggravated tears to savagely fall down his cheeks. He cursed and screamed and yelled until his voice finally gave out. He was angry of his helpless-ness. He was pissed that he could do nothing but sit and wait. He was disgusted at what Squall had done and how he responded... Zack sighed the air pushing out of his lungs rather shakily. Squall knew all to well what he was doing even if Zack hadn't at the moment; but it all became far to clear of his intentions. Zack ground his teeth together bitterly; he could never forgive Squall... or himself.
"You still seem to burden him; and that's effecting my relationship with my angel... and I need to put a stop to that..."
Zack growled back, "I swear if you touch Cloud..."
Squall's lips twitched into a dark smirk, his ears perked up happily, tail twitching back and forth slowly, "I touched; oh and I tasted... but not enough. It was only a tease; I wanted so much more.... but I'd never force my angel."
Zack felt his voice leave him for a moment as his eyes went wide in shock; his mouth opened and closed as he tried to find his voice.
"He left me with a little...problem... Mmmm that moan of his... every inch and curve of his body; the contours of every muscle; I didn't get enough...," Squall spoke in a husky tone as he grabbed Zack by his arm and twisted it behind his back. Zack winced in pain as he was quickly yanked up by his arm; he cried out when his foot touched the ground. The broken ankle sent a painful vibration up and down his leg, but Squall made him continue forward none the less. Squall fought to push Zack into the next room before tossing him onto the bed. Zack struggled but there was little he could do; Squall was merely inches from his swollen ankle and any protest by Zack meant Squall would viciously grip at the shattered bones. Squall quickly forced Zack on his paws and knees roping his wrists and ankles. Thankfully he didn't tie to tightly around Zack's injured ankle; but Zack's ankle was the least of his worries. His head was spinning and he was trying to grasp desperately at the unfolding situation. Squall retreated from Zack's view for a brief moment before returning with his bag and a pack of ice. Squall placed the ice against Zack's ankle driving a low groan from Zack as the ice cooled the heated pain.
Squall picked out a camera from his bag and stepped over to Zack; he dangled the object in front of Zack's face, "Let's make sure to get some good pictures for Cloud hm?"
Zack pulled against the ropes but they only burned against his opposing skin, "You sick fuck! What...What are you...!?"
Zack felt his breath catch as Squall's paws began to make quick work of ripping off his pants and shirt; literally ripping the fabric off his body. Zack struggled again to get as far away from the invading paws as possible as the cool air in the room struck his now nude body. There was little he could do to avoid the dark lion towering over him. Squall only snickered, "Don't worry; I'll let you enjoy this..."
Zack's brows pushed together in confusion; How the fuck was he supposed to enjoy this?! This guy is completely and utterly insane! Zack's breath hitched as Squall quickly took Zack into his maw; he tried to pull himself away but Squall only reached to keep his hips steady. He worked his tongue carefully; teasing with a light suction. Zack bit his lip and he felt himself growing hard in the invading warmth; Zack cursed his body trying to will it to stop obeying it's primal desire. "Dammit...," Zack hissed as his hips involuntarily bucked into Squall's maw. Squall reached up and grabbed the rest of Zack's length beginning to stroke it cleverly extracting a reluctant moan from Zack. Squall's paw moved up towards his maw and moved them against each other as he bobbed over Zack. Zack was so intent on trying to focus elsewhere; trying to detach himself; trying to stop his body from reacting that he didn't notice where Squall's other paw had retreated. Zack's eyes opened wide as he felt the tips of Squall's clawed fingers dancing over his tailhole, "F--Fuck.. Yo-u..."
He could feel Squall smile around him effectively making Zack's stomach churn. He groaned as a finger pressed in soon followed by another; stretching and preparing him. Zack felt anger building in his chest; Why was he preparing him! What kind of rapist ' pleasured' their victims!!
A loud grunt passed Zack's lips and he felt Squall's paw pull away from him. Squall than sucked hard on the tip of Zack's cock as he pushed his fingers against that spot deep within Zack that caused the moan. Zack's head arched back as his lips parted; his eyes flown shut and his face - much to his dismay - was strained at the immediate pleasure that overwhelmed him. Zack's half-lidded eyes began to open when the first of many flashes began.
"That bastard....," Zack curled in on himself; Cloud would hate him. He would think the photos were real. Even if he did get out of here; would Squall have implanted to many lies in Cloud's head? Would he have lost all Cloud's trust and thus would the boy even believe his claim. Honestly; this was pretty outrageous... but he had to try. He couldn't allow that freak to touch Cloud; he wouldn't allow him to. He had said that Cloud allowed him too... Zack cursed lowly; did Cloud really let Squall do all those things? He hadn't been gone for long at all really; was his relationship so fragile? Zack sighed as he mulled it over. First off Cloud thinks you left him idiot; than this guy shows up like a knight in shining armor to comfort him... What could he really expect? This guy knew what he was doing; knew exactly what he was after and how to obtain it. However Zack Fair wasn't going down without a fight and he would be damned if Squall even attempted to touch 'his' Cloud again.
Squall hummed contently as he stroked the blonde's hair. For the second time he found himself waking up next to his angel and his heart fluttered with such contentment he thought it would burst. The grey furred blue eyed angel stretched out over him deep in his blissful rest. His arm held tightly around Squall's lean waist; it made him shudder to feel the boy grabbing so lovingly at his body, even if it was only in his sleep. Instead of having to bury his nose into the pillow he simply leaned forward to take in the direct scent of Cloud. Squall; during his stay took his own mental notes about Cloud. What type of shampoo and conditioner he used; what cologne; what kind of foods he seemed to like ( at least based on his cupboards); he looked at pictures to see which places the boy visited; he took in everything he could and soaked up the knowledge. Squall nearly moaned as the scent of tea tree and mint flooded his senses. The smell was so alluring especially coming off of his angel. Cloud stirred in his sleep nuzzling closer to the warmth he was cuddled against. Squall twisted the locks of hair between his fingers staring down at 'his' beauty lovingly. His eyes trailed over his angels delicate features. They never ceased to take his breath away; he felt that anytime he looked into his love's face he would be content on dying then and there. Well; maybe not dying... Unless of course his angel would carry him to heaven; Squall had a small smile pass over his lips as he imagined the scene. It was all possible now. With Zack out of the way Cloud was his and his alone; he would never allow anyone to come in-between them. He would nurture the young snow cat in his arms, provide and care for him, and they would age and die together. Squall brushed a loose bang away from Cloud's forehead and gently pressed his lips to the soft fur whispering softly, "My angel...."
Cloud shifted in as his tongue clapped in his mouth taking in a deep breath; his eyes slowly opened still drowsy from slumber, "Za..." He caught himself before look up and smiling, "Squall... Good morning.."
Squall's face twisted momentarily but quickly recovered it, "Good morning... did you sleep well?"
Cloud faintly blushed realizing how close he was to Squall; he inched away a little bit, ears twitching in embarrassment "I did.. Thank you.."
Squall smiled softly as he watched the pink rise over Cloud's cheeks; he reached the back of his fingers to brush Cloud's heated cheek, "Adorable..."
This of course made Cloud's blush deepen; he almost stuttered his next sentence, "..I-I um... Are you.. hungry?"
Squall only chuckled continuing to stroke the blonde's hair, "A bit; would you like to go out for breakfast?"
Cloud could only nod with a shy smile before detaching himself from Squall and moving off the bed, "We can take my bike; I'll wash up and we can go... Do you have any place in mind?"
Squall shook his head as he watched Cloud, "We'll find something of interest on the road."
Cloud nodded; He always watches me so intently.... it's a little... unnerving... Cloud brushed it off; he just found Cloud attractive. He already voiced that; In a few ways... Cloud almost blushed at that but quickly shook the steamy thoughts away.
It didn't take long before they were on the road; Squall pressed up against Cloud on Fenrir arms wrapped tightly around his waist. Cloud had to admit he seemed really clingy; even more so than Zack and that in itself was something Cloud thought he'd never find himself saying. Zack... Just his name still stung at Cloud's heart. He sighed to himself as he pushed away the thoughts threatening to race through his mind. The wind blowing through his hair and the roar of Fenrir's engine relaxed Cloud; well as much as he could relax anyway. He was being held rather firmly by the feline behind him; whether it was intentional or he was just making Squall shit his pants with his driving he didn't know. It just seemed so strange that after just meeting the other seemed almost a little obsessed; nice but far to clingy for just meeting each other. Sure Cloud had stopped him from experiencing some rather distasteful things.... but it still struck him as kind of odd. Cloud could only shrug it off; he's not Zack that's for sure... The last thought chimed in a bitter sweet melody; he missed Zack, that was undeniable, but what he did... it was unforgivable.
Cloud allowed the bike to glide on the clutch as he pulled the bike into a parking lot; it was a small diner but it would do. Cloud didn't want to go anywhere; for lack of a better term 'fancy'; he wanted something simple and informal. This would just ensure he would feel more comfortable. Comfortable meant when they reached the door the hostess wouldn't bother to seat them; the waitress would chew gum louder than they ordered; and a gathering from the local slums would be sitting up at the bar flirting with the other workers. This all meant; as Cloud learned after many outings with Zack; good food. For lack of service they seemed to always have the best cooks; think about it... why else would they stay in business? Cloud joked with Squall on the topic but he wasn't quite sure if Squall had shared the same logic as he and Zack once did. Another painful stab to his heart; they were becoming far to frequent.
Throughout the breakfast Squall asked a lot about Cloud.... ALOT. Cloud tried desperately not to look bored; it wasn't that Squall wasn't interesting the problem was he wanted to talk about nothing but Cloud. Cloud mused sadly that Zack would more than love the attention and share an endless library of stories with the other male however... Cloud liked his privacy. He wasn't as keen to talk intimately about himself as his lover...ex-lover... once was; and that certainly didn't change now.
"So Cloud; it's going to be in the 70s today; up for a swim," Squall asked out of the blue.
Thank Gaia a change in topic! "Sounds good. There's a really nice beach not to far from here... They have a small shop we can just buy trunks up there; I don't feel like driving back to the house to pick up mine."
Squall smiled thinking about how wonderful it is going to be seeing Cloud half nude...again.., "Fine by me."
They quickly finished their meals and headed towards the beach; it was about an hour to get there and Squall pondered why Cloud thought an hour was a close distance. Soon enough Cloud silenced the engine of Fenrir and they made their way into the small shop. Squall grinned looking around; they had everything from boogie boards to swimwear. Small aisles packed with trunks, bikinis, boards; eye wear, and so forth were neatly laid throughout the shelves. Cloud moved over to the trunks and rather quickly picked out a pair.
"Not going to try them on first," Squall asked moving shoulder to shoulder to Cloud as he browsed the trunks.
Cloud chewed the inside of his lip; Squall always wanted to be so close..., "I don't really need to; these will fit and I like the pattern... it's simple."
Squall peeked over his shoulder at said shorts and smirked, "I don't see much of a pattern there Cloud."
The trunks indeed were quite plain; Zack used to tease him about picking out such things. The trunks were a deep shade of blue with a white draw string and a couple of pockets on the side of the trunks. Plain and simple. Cloud smiled sadly; Zack preferred black and flames or ridiculous bloomed flowers... He was interrupted by Squall who lifted up a pair of trunks; these trunks were black and silver, colors that seemed to match Squall for some reason. Cloud nodded his approval, "Those are nice." Squall couldn't help but smirk as he thought 'how nice' Cloud would look in his trunks of the beach. He almost felt giddy with excitement; he couldn't wait.
"Let's buy these and mosey on out of here," Cloud spoke as he moved towards the cashier to pay for his trunks. Before he could hand over his payment Squall handed the man his card and trunks, "Just put it on my card; his too."
"Squall you don't..," Cloud was silenced by Squall's smile.
"Don't worry about it; You ready for the beach? It's starting to heat up already."
Cloud only nodded sighing softly, "Yeah lets head over."
Cloud and Squall made their way to the beach all the while talking; well Squall talking and asking a few more questions about Cloud. It was starting to get a little annoying but Cloud couldn't complain really. The guy did comfort him; and he was really nice. Beyond all that he's taking his time to spend it with Cloud of all people. Well he did seem to have some type of fascination with him, Cloud interjected to himself. He was a sweet attractive guy; Cloud just had to give him a chance. Cloud smiled as his toes mushed into the sand; swim trunks in hand. Cloud argued that he 'had' been with Zack and only Zack for quite a long time. So Squall was like starting from scratch and Cloud felt like maybe he forgot how to handle it. He had gotten into such a comfortable routine with Zack; he knew practically everything the boy would do or say... up until recently... so starting to 'date' Is this a date... it seems to be with Squall... was a bit difficult. So perhaps he was just being closed minded; there wasn't anything strange about Squall's wanting to know about him. That's the point of dating; to get to know someone... I'm just being paranoid...
They found changing huts and stepped into their own respective tents to change. Cloud finished changing quickly and stepped outside; pulling out a long beach towel he laid it across the sand and plopped himself down. He sighed contently as the sun bathed his soft Grey spotted fur in a warm glow; laying back he crossed his arms underneath his head and kicked his leg over his other knee. This was what he needed; a day to relax. The sound of the water swaying back and forth against the beach and the chirping of young children playing was music to his ears.
A charming chuckle came from above him; the figure blocking a bit of the warm light that was dancing across his face. He opened his eyes cautiously just in case the sun wasn't completely blocked from his blue orbs. The sight to greet him made him blush. He was correct about the attractive part on Squall's behalf. Cloud's eyes trailed up the boy's tone legs and up to his ripped torso; he wasn't bulky but the tone was well defined and stood well pronounced on his body. Cloud bit his lip as he followed the six pack the boy sported to his well defined chest and.... he never realized Squall had a necklace...
A silver spiked necklace with a lion design.....
