Aftereffects (Final Fantasy VII - Zack/Aeris, restraint) Hojo, you're a sick bastard, Zack mentally cursed, and not for the first time, either. He was strapped to a bed in one of the less uncomfortable rooms in the Shinra lab, arms and legs securely tied down and twitching from the aftereffects of a particularly potent Mako infusion, and he could swear that the greasy scientists secretly enjoyed seeing his subjects tied down and helpless. Oh, he understood the reason for it, but it was still creepy as hell.
It wasn't as if he was capable of anything more energetic right now, anyway. Hell, just thinking was hard to do after his treatments, too hard; it was easier to just let his mind wander, to relax in his bonds as best he could and rest. It's not easy, though, with the Mako running through his bloodstream, making his head throb and pulse with every heartbeat.
"Awww. You poor, poor thing..."
His eyes shot open at the sound of his girl's voice. "Baby?" he whispered between chapped lips, barely daring to hope that she was actually there, that she'd somehow snuck in just to find him. But there was no one there, just the lab's celing that swirled before his eyes. The sight made him dizzy, and he closed them again.
"It's terrible that they do things like this to you," he heard Aeris say as his eyes closed, and then felt a phantom touch against his cheek. He smiled - he knew it was a hallucination, but what the hell, he'd enjoy what he could get. "Can't you ask them to stop?"
"No, babe," he whispered back. "Comes with the job."
He heard her sigh, felt her hands moving down his body, making slow circles on his chest, teasing his nipples - wait, hadn't he been wearing a hospital gown a few seconds ago? "It still doesn't seem right."
"I know," he said. If thinking had been hard before, it was doubly so now; he was always incredibly sensitive after an infusion, and she knew exactly what she was doing. Her warm fingers felt amazing, even though he knew it wasn't real. And then he felt her mouth, nibbling and licking his earlobe, and that was even better.
"Well," she said softly. "The least I can do is help you relax, hmm?"
"Aww, baby, I -"
He didn't get any further than that before he felt her weight settle on top of him - and yeah, he knew he'd been wearing something a little while ago, but he didn't feel it now, just her warm skin and the heat of her body. He really wanted to reach up and touch her, to stroke her hair; he tried, and was reminded of the padded cuffs that held him down.
"Oh, just relax," she said, her voice amused and her hands in his hear. Her breasts were pressed against his chest - he could imagine how she looked now, face flushed, nipples pert and rosy pink, breathing hard as she slid down and took his cock in her tiny hand.
He was incredibly hard, both from the fantasy and from the usual aftereffects. God, he wanted more. "Please," he gasped. "Don't tease me now, sweetie, please..."
"Me? Never." He could imagine the grin on her face.
Then he felt her settle on top of him the way she had before, wet heat sliding and stroking him, her hands warm on his hips to steady herself. It was perfect, just perfect, and he couldn't have lasted as long as he usually did even if he'd wanted to, not with the Mako heightening his senses - and not with the vision of her in his mind, gasping in pleasure, mouthing his name. He didn't say her name as he came - he knew better - but he wanted to, wanted to tell her how amazing she was, how much he wanted to keep her with him forever as his body shook and his dream-vision blurred to nothing.
"There. That's much better," Aeris's voice said. He felt her slip away, with one last kiss on his forehead. "I wish I could stay, but I can't. Get some sleep, okay, honey?"
"Mmmm. Thanks, babe," he murmured, sated, arms and legs still bound but relaxed for the first time in hours. "Love ya."
"I know. Find me when they let you out, okay? I'll be waiting." And she was gone.
As Zack dozed off, part of him hoped that Hojo hadn't been watching; the rest of him didn't give a damn.
