Under Control – ELLEGARDEN

“I can’t believe you!”

Psycho and Cam had the graces to look sheepishly at the blond haired cadet.

Oh, they were in sooo much trouble.

Cloud Strife, lover of Sephiroth, glared at his roommate and surrogate “son.” “How could you just up and make trouble for yourself!? Now, you’re under freakin’ house arrest for the weekend and I have to baby sit you!” Oh, Cloud Strife was PISSED – now he would have to cancel his date.

Cam mumbled under his breath.

“Eh, what was that?” asked Cloud, viciously poking his friend in the side. “I thought I was the gay one, but at least I still got my balls!” Oh, Cloud – low blow! Cam was about to try again but – 

“That stupid fuckin’ sunuvabitch said mean things about Daddy!”

Cloud blinked and looked at Psycho. “Eh?”

“I said,” huffed the red fur ball, “‘that stupid fuckin’ sunuvabitch said mean things about Daddy!’” The little cat looked at Cloud. “So, ‘course me an’ Ma gotta go fuckin’ insane on da ass!”

Cam cleared his throat. “It’s da truth – some blockhead from a diff ‘toon came in and started talkin’ smack ‘bout seein’ ya at some… shady places…. When I sure as hell knew ya were wit’…” A vague motion with the Midgar native’s hands, “him” – still a tone of disapproval, but, really, Cam had already come to terms with Cloud-being-gay-and-with-the-General, so it was just a reaction that he made to rile up the blond. “So me an’ Psycho ripped dah bitch a new one, didn’ we?”

“ ‘Course Mommy!”

“That’s my cute lil’ sunuvabitch!”

Cloud smiled and laughed a bit as Cam and Psycho hugged each other. Okay, so he was still going to miss his date but… At least it was for a somewhat good reason of his friend protecting his… um… image, or something. One date could be missed, for Cam’s sake.

Now, if he kept telling himself that, maybe Cloud would actually believe that he would stay in his room all weekend with his straight best friend and psychotic pseudo-child and not go out with his boyfriend, forcing Cam and Psycho to tag along with them. Nope, no need to scar his friends for life, right?
