[fearedheir]

And risk aggravating someone's gluten allergy? I could never.

[Sass sass.]

No, it hasn't. It does sound like something I'd consider, though.

[nimbuster]

[…okay, he gets a quiet little chuckle out of Cloud with that one.]

No idea who’d run it, though, if not you.

[And who knows exactly what ‘peacekeeping’ means to whoever that is. Without Shinra, there would be no military - but there sure would be a lot of unemployed troopers with particular skillsets looking for work.]

So I’m one of those handful who know you’re alive. We talk much?

[Cloud finds himself abruptly wanting to know whether Future Cloud ever slept with Rufus, but he’s obviously not gonna ask. Not until he’s had a few more drinks, anyway.]

[fearedheir]

Until recently, you didn't know I was alive. You run a delivery business there, too.

[nimbuster]

[Well, that answers that, then. Probably.]

Huh. …just me?

[fearedheir]

I believe you work out of Tifa's bar, but it's just you. The rest of AVALANCHE is off doing other things in hopes of getting the world back on track.

[And also Vincent.]

[nimbuster]

[At least Tifa’s there. That’s a relief. Still…running the business alone, without Zack, sounds…pretty shitty. And if Barret and the others are off fixing up the world, why isn’t he with them? There’s gotta be all kinds of monsters and whatnot to fight out there, surely they could use his help?

He realizes he’s been quiet a little too long and shakes his head.]

None of that’s gonna happen. We’ll do it right this time. Stop Jenova before it summons Meteor.

[fearedheir]

...if you can manage to do that, Cloud...

[He can't even fathom a world without Meteorfall, but still.]

[nimbuster]

We will.

[He tilts his head, looking at Rufus.]

Who knows, maybe I’ll even convince you to be less of an ass and help out.

[fearedheir]

[That gets him to snort and down the last of his beer.]

Stranger things have happened. You liking my ass, for one.

[nimbuster]

[Dammit, Rufus, why did you have to say that right when Cloud was about to finish off his own drink? He half-chokes, but manages to swallow the mouthful with minimal coughing. He really hopes the faint flush he can feel rising to his cheeks isn't visible to Rufus. Fuck.]

...I said it wasn't bad.

[Sure, Cloud, pretend there's a difference.]

[fearedheir]

Unfortunately, I don't know if you could handle me in anything that would show off my ass better.

[nimbuster]

Last time you thought I 'couldn't handle' you, I proved you wrong. Why, you got something in mind?

[fearedheir]

Does this place sell heels that might fit someone my size? I'm told they make my legs and ass look stunning.

[College was wild. Or he's bullshitting.]

[nimbuster]

[Joke's on you, Rufus, Cloud has heels of his own and will hold you to your bullshit if that's the case.

He shrugs.]

The Peacekeeper can give you whatever you want. Gonna put on another show to impress me?

[fearedheir]

Who says I want to impress just you, hm?

[nimbuster]

You’re the one who wanted it just the two of us.

[fearedheir]

Well, maybe three.

[Shameless.]

[nimbuster]

[Cloud snorts quietly, even if the idea of sex with Rufus again with someone else there brings another faint brush of red to his face.]

Yeah, maybe. Like who?

[fearedheir]

I would have said Squall, but I don't think he likes me much anymore.

[nimbuster]

The price you pay for having no regrets. Met anyone else?

[fearedheir]

[Shrug.]

One of his other boyfriends, Nyx. My brother, but let's not involve him in this.

[nimbuster]

…Nyx.

[Depending on how closely Rufus is paying attention, he might notice the slight gleam of interest in Cloud’s eyes.]

Wouldn’t say no to that.

[fearedheir]

Oh? You've met him, I take it. Is he as good as he looks?

[nimbuster]

Wouldn’t you like to know.

[fearedheir]

[A shrug and a smirk.]

I asked, didn't I? I know what I like.
