Sephiroth said nothing further as they continued to walk on. He didn't think he had done anything of note to have caused such a pleasure out of his silvering partner, but it appeared something had occurred when he sensed that almost-accomplishment feeling through their shared link. Was accomplishment even the right word for it? Sephiroth wasn't certain, but he couldn't think of another term to give it justice either.

When they neared the end of the secluded alleyway, the ex-General loosened his grip to allow for Cloud to pull his hand free. No such thing happened, however, as they both emerged from the alley to cross over into another side-street. The muttered words had him glancing at his companion from the corner of his eyes even while the soft smile remained hinting on his lips at the confession.

"Anything for you," he quietly muttered in return. And it was true. There was next to nothing that he wouldn't do if it benefited them in one way or another, and if these small moments eased Cloud's burden as it did his own, then he would continue to do just that for the younger male.

Cloud glanced over at Sephiroth as he felt the other man's hand loosen, and his expression turned more into a scowl for a moment as he instead tightened his hand on Sephiroth's. He laced their fingers together and continued to walk regardless of the small amount of people around. No one was watching them anyway.

Pleasure warmed him at the thought that Sephiroth would take time and even risk coming down and exposing himself to the constant tremors of the city every day. He shifted closer, bumping their shoulders together in a playful gesture before he tugged Sephiroth into the next alley by their hands.

"I think you're doing it to sneak moments with me. I know you're game," he teased before he dragged Sephiroth bodily into a hidden doorway with him. He rose to his toes and planted his lips on his partner's. "I want to do a mission with you soon."

[pure_lineage]

He didn't miss the scowl sent in his direction, and Sephiroth knew well that his partner didn't want his hand disappearing. He hadn't been quite so certain when it had come to such public appearances, but it was beginning to become obvious that Cloud didn't care for the others momentarily around them as they walked between alleyways. That was a new development, but the others were easier to ignore when the grip around his own tightened so nicely.

The bump of his shoulder had him stealing a quick glance from his Meister, before Sephiroth was found huffing lightly at the teased words. He didn't get much time to say any form of rebuttal before he was pulled into a hidden doorway and found lips pressing against his own. It was impossible not to surrender into the sensation, and he felt his eyes slip closed at the feeling.

"Getting bored of your position already?" Sephiroth half-teased in return.

[de_faulty_hero]

Cloud wasn't ashamed of what they had together, but he wasn't one to broadcast either. He knew that both of them respected and wanted their privacy too much to allow for anyone else to actually be privy to their personal lives. The closest people to know about them had been Kuroro and Kurapika, two people who had been much the same as he and Sephiroth.

He didn't mind stopping if it meant a small measure of privacy in a hidden doorway, though he hoped it would remain closed. He smiled into the kiss at the reaction from his partner and stepped in to lean against the silver-haired man's body.

"Hardly... but all the time apart bugs me. I miss our missions and the perks that came with them," he murmured, leaning his forehead against Sephiroth's chin.

[pure_lineage]

The smile was welcomed, and Sephiroth quietly absorbed the soft gesture while drawing the silvering-blonde in closer to his body. He had hoped that they could remain here in this world purely for what they had discovered here together, even if they would be stuck to this world and unable to locate a new home for each other.

"I never thought that you'd be so clingy. I thought that was my job," he lightly teased while his arms came to wrap themselves around the younger male. Chuckling lightly, his chin moved subtly against Cloud's forehead as he quietly spoke, "Then I will give you all the missions that you desire."

[de_faulty_hero]

This seemed like an inappropriate place to be standing together, but he didn't care at this point. He had been in far more awkward situations and this sort of place seemed to fit the mood and the need. Besides, he was now convinced that home was wherever Sephiroth happened to be.

He stiffened at the idea he was being clingy. Maybe he was. "I am not clingy," he replied with a sulk, burrowing closer which made it obvious he actually was being clingy. He stilled though when Sephiroth's chin came to rest and he hummed softly in acceptance. "I know you will. We'll go out again when things settle."

[pure_lineage]

Cloud's sulking words were returned with an amused chuckle in return. They both knew the answer to that, and as Cloud burrowed in closer, Sephiroth inhaled a deep and satisfied breath as he tightened the hold he had around his partner. Truth be told, he was rather pleased to hear such things as it meant that Cloud was as dependent on his presence as he was of his partner's. That thought comforted him more than anything else.

"Mmm," he sounded softly in agreement. Sephiroth knew that he was ready for such things whenever his partner desired it, but the ex-General also knew enough of the silvering-blonde to know that Cloud needed this time to readjust to the changes in their lives.

[de_faulty_hero]

Okay, he knew that he was slightly clingy right now. There was big change to how he lived his life with returning to the Watch and the absence of his partner for most of the day. He had gone months with Sephiroth almost constantly at his side and now they had a few hours each evening to really spend with each other. It was different, and he was still struggling to get used to the change that had occurred. He knew that Sephiroth struggled as much as he did.

He tightened his hold on his partner, simply silently allowing their emotions and thoughts to transfer down the link no one else had. He knew that they didn't have too much time to linger here, but he selfishly did anyway. "Mmm, you smell nice. Have you changed your shampoo again?"

[pure_lineage]

He allowed their emotions to mingle through their link, and found an undeniable comfort in their silent moment together. Sephiroth didn't care that their current location was still rather public, and knew deep down within that he wouldn't hesitate to gut anyone who dared to interrupt them either. Instead he smoothed his hands down the curve of his partner's back as his chest rumbled with his quiet chuckle.

"You do not miss much," Sephiroth muttered before he pulled his face back enough so that Cloud could properly catch the scent. "I have found that there isn't a product here as superior as the one ShinRa made for me during my service with them."

[de_faulty_hero]

He leaned forward, which wasn't very far considering how close they were already and breathed deep the scent from his partner's mass amounts of hair. He reached out and picked up a few locks of hair, curling them around his index finger before he looked around at their location, checking for people.

"Well, keeping up with your activities is interesting. I can never compete with your stalker ways though," he murmured before he shifted, shoving Sephiroth a little deeper into the hidden doorway. "We still have a little time you know...."
