ZxC- Candy Kiss

Zack walked faster down the sidewalk, from the look in the sky and clouds, it was going to rain. He would rather come back in anything but water right now. He wore a new hoodie that was grey and a pair of blue jeans he had received from Reno, his roomate. Soon enough, he passed a street sign pointing to where he needed to go, but he also passed a little disturbance going on.

A group of dark clothed men were standing around a slightly smaller blonde. The blonde had blue eyes and wore somewhat of a displeased look on his face as they talked to him. Zack moved in closer towards themso they could hear what they were saying but not to close so the thugs could notice him.


"Com'on and play with us." One man, the one with the darkest hood on and a scar across his cheek, ordered the blonde. The younger of them all turned to walk away,"Not intrested." he explained. Just as the blonde was about to move away, the man caught his arm in a tight grip, making the blonde flinch slightly. "Why not? There are lots of cuties around here and my guys agree you're the prize."

"Fuck off." the blonde ordered, trying to pull his arm away but ended up being slammed back into the wall by the man. The blonde may have had a good mouth, but his body couldn't afford to fight those guys at all. No weapons or anything was a bad thing for him.   Were the men going to rape him?  

"What kind of men are you? Ganging up on some teenager, huh? Buncha thugs like you oughta be running right about now." Zack said, walking up to them and crossing his arms. The man looked at Zack with a glare,  "What the hell are you talkin' about?" he asked in that leave-me-alone sort of tone.

"I'm saying you shouldn't gang up on him for the sake of personal needs. Find a prostitute." Zack muttered, pushing some of them away and leaning down to pull the blonde up. "Com'on. Lets get you out of here and away from them."

The blonde couldn't help but give him a face that seemed to say who-are-you-and-why-are-you-helping. Zack grinned, pulling him up and hugging him to his side. "If you guys touch him, might as well call you dead."

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" The man asked, Zack being let through again.The raven haired older smiled again, "I think I'm the kid's boyfriend." Everyone, inclouding the blonde being hugged, looked stunned as Zack turned and walked away. He lifted his hand to wave, "So long! So whats your name, hm?" he asked the younger blonde.

"Um... C-Cloud."

"Ah! Nice name, Mine's Zackary Fair! But Dear lord don't call me Zackary. Call me Zack. Zackary gets used when I'm in some deep shit." He grinned, making Cloud relax into his hold. "O-Okay..."

"The man had a....tight grip." he murmered, rubbing his arm with his other hand. Zack made a hissing sound through his teeth,"I saw that. Are you going to be okay?" Zack asked, smiling softly. Cloud nodded, "Yeah, I'll survive." he replied. Zack smiled, "Good."

"Renooooo?" Zack called, looking around for his roomate. When he got no reply, he lead Cloud inside to his 'side' of the room. The side filled with music CDs and a computer desk filled with homework Zack had been doing at some point. It had begun to rain on their way back, so zack had taken Cloud (unwilingly mind you) to his apartment.

"Make yourself at home. Turn on the TV if you like." Zack let go of Cloud finally, going to the frduge and pulling out a pepsi bottle and one for Cloud. "Want some?" he asked. Cloud looked at the bottle as if Zack had spiked it before taking it and gulping down some. It took some time but the two began talking into the late hours of the night. Cloud had been there for about 3 hours, watching Tv with Zack while the storm outside dragged on.

All Zack was happy about was about 2 hours into Cloud's stay, he had fallen asleep on his lap. His friend's head was nestled in his thigh and his hand layed right next to it as his body curled to him. Zack couldn't help but smile at this, how had he never noticed how cute that blonde was before?A kiss would be wonderful... he's just so cute.

Making sure Cloud was asleep, he leaned down and pressed a kiss to the blonde's lips. His lips were... sweet. Had he eaten candy before? Zack didn't know but it sure tasted like it before he pulled away, gazing at his friend's sleeping form again.

FLASH!
