Sephiroth slowly blinked himself awake, wondering where he was, and why he felt so good when there was someone wrapped around him. Even Zack had barely touched him when he told Sephiroth to sleep in his bed and he’d never understood why his master had acted as if it was a reward when sleeping in the same bed as Zack was so uncomfortable. But...Cloud hadn’t tossed about all night the way Zack did, or stolen all the covers; he’d just moved Sephiroth away from the wet spot and hooked a leg over his hips then settled down to sleep. He shut his eyes again, enjoying the unusual sense of peace Cloud’s touch was giving him, until the growing pressure in his bladder became uncomfortable; then he shifted slowly, trying to work his way out of bed without waking his master.
He managed to get out of bed without waking Cloud, and moved near-silently to the bathroom - he’d learned that perfect silence was more likely to wake or disturb his masters than tiny, barely noticeable sounds were. But when he came out of the bathroom he realised that Cloud had woken anyway, even though he’d been careful not to turn any lights on, or to flush the toilet, and his master was leaning up on one elbow to look at him.
“You okay Sephiroth?”
“Yes Cloud. Do you want me to get back in bed with you?” If his master wanted him to stand here in the cold and answer his questions he’d obey, but he’d far rather return to the comfort of Cloud’s arms.
“You’re welcome in my bed, but I won’t force you. I know you don’t have any reason to believe me, but I’ll always respect your right to say no in any...uhm, intimate situation.” As he spoke Cloud lifted the covers in invitation, and Sephiroth moved quickly to join him again.
“I do believe you.” Sephiroth was surprised at how easily that confidence in Cloud came to him, at how readily he relaxed at his master’s touch. “But I’d rather you just held me right now.”
“Yeah, I need to get out of bed in half an hour or so...we don’t want to have a reason to lose track of time. But it’s really not worth trying to get back to sleep either, so...you want to talk?” Cloud stroked Sephiroth’s lower back in small circles as he spoke, and Sephiroth shut his eyes with a smile, tucking his head against Cloud’s shoulder.
“Yes please. Ah...might I ask you why you agreed to have sex with me last night?”
“Because you weren’t offering as a way to thank me for teaching you. I...thought you were asking because it was something you wanted, rather than something you thought you had to ask. You didn’t offer yourself after I confirmed that you could socialise with Professor Hojo, or after I gave you those science books.”
“Oh!” Cloud had been really good about letting him meet with Professor Hojo, putting fewer restrictions on him than Zack had - when he’d belonged to Zack all the Professor had been allowed to do was eat lunch with him, and only in the science cafeteria, but Cloud had only said he wanted advance warning if Professor Hojo would be taking him to eat somewhere else in the evening and Sephiroth wouldn’t be cooking for him. “I...when you gave me the rules for socialising with Professor Hojo I remembered that you didn’t want me offering myself when you’d been kind to me, and you didn’t seem to expect anything but politeness when you gave me the science books. I...did want to have sex with you last night, and I think I will want to do that again, if you’re willing.”
“Oh, that isn’t in any doubt.” Cloud behind kissed his ear and Sephiroth shivered at the unexpectedly erotic contact. “But...I think I’m going to need to wait for you to start things for now. And please...not when you’re kneeling.”
“Not when I’m kneeling?” Why would Cloud add that restriction?
“I...it bothers me, leave it at that. Please.”
“As you wish.” It was little enough that Cloud was asking after all and Sephiroth didn’t quite understand why he was offering so much control over this side of things. “Is there anything else you want to talk about?”
“I...you were crying last night, do you want to talk about why?” Cloud’s voice was soft and uncertain in his ear, but Sephiroth still felt himself stiffen at the question. “You don’t have to, not if it will upset you or make you uncomfortable.”
“I’d rather not. I...it wasn’t anything you did.” Even with Zack he’d never felt safe enough to cry like that, not when there was any chance his master would see him, and Sephiroth still couldn’t entirely believe that being with Cloud had made him feel secure enough to cry during sex. “I...I’m really sorry I did that, I know it upset you, and I wish I hadn’t made you feel like that-”
“Hush.” He obeyed at once, not quite sure it wasn’t an order despite Cloud’s promise to let him take the lead in sex. “As long as it wasn’t something I did I won’t pry, but I want you to tell me if I do anything to upset you, or if you think I’m pressing you to do something that makes you uncomfortable. Can you manage that?”
“Yes. Or...I can try anyway.” But a month of feeling safe, of hearing that Cloud wanted him to play housekeeper, not wife or fuck-toy, wasn’t really enough to counteract everything else he’d known, and Sephiroth was certain that if he ever felt something was important to Cloud, was what his master really wanted, he’d just fold, submit to Cloud’s desires even if it scared him, or hurt him.
“I guess I can’t ask for more than that.” Sephiroth was spared the need to answer when Cloud’s alarm went off, and he reluctantly pulled away from him with one last kiss. “You don’t need to get up yet; I can do breakfast for myself easily enough, and if you want to try for a bit more sleep I understand.”
“No, I’ll go start doing a proper breakfast for you while you shower.” If he left it to Cloud he knew that his master would just settle for a couple of slices of toast, instead of having the protein he needed.
“You don’t have to.” But he knew that Cloud’s objection was only for show and he pulled on his trousers and a shirt to cook for them both. It surprised him when Cloud stretched up to kiss him before he left, but the casual token of affection felt nice, really nice.
Professor Hojo had said he wanted to join Sephiroth for lunch today, so he probably didn’t have time to take the sheets to the laundry, and he might as well wash his hair as he wasn’t going to leave the apartment. He showered first, washing his hair and using conditioner before putting clean clothes on and wrapping his hair in a towel to keep it out of the way. Cloud wouldn’t want to sleep on those dirty sheets again tonight and Sephiroth changed them out for fresh and did some clean-up before he started cooking lunch, including sterilising the dildo he’d tried fucking himself with.
Professor Hojo didn’t mind that Sephiroth cooked a fairly light lunch for them; since he needed to cook a large meal for when Cloud came back, and he began preparing a simple risotto about half an hour before the professor was due to arrive.
“Sephiroth?” He was busy when he heard Professor Hojo call for him from the main room, so he simply raised his voice to call back.
“I’m in the kitchen at the moment. Would you like to come and join me?”
“If I won’t get in your way.” He glanced over to where Professor Hojo was standing in the doorway with a smile.
“No, the kitchen’s big enough for the two of us. But you know that sir.” He let a challenging note slide into his voice, something he might not have normally dared to do, but he kept smiling, making sure Professor Hojo didn’t think he was trying to give offence.
“Yes, but it’s rude to just assume you’re welcome, or to take advantage of an offer made from obligation. You seem happy today, my boy. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this happy.”
“I am happy.” And it was true, even if Sephiroth hadn’t realised it until now. He should probably give the Professor a reason for why he was happy before he thought about asking for one. “Cloud started teaching me how to use a sword yesterday.”
“He has? That’s wonderful.” But Professor Hojo didn’t seem entirely pleased by the news. “That smells great, will it be long?”
“No more than ten minutes I think.” Sephiroth accepted the change of subject, and resigned himself to not discussing the change in his relationship with Cloud.
