Where was he?! Zack was practically breaking down every door on that floor looking for the blonde. He hoped and hoped that he had not been taken out of the building. The third apartment that Zack had arrived at was the noisiest of all. Slowly he pushed himself through the crowd of dancing drunken idiots and into the small hallway of the apartment. There were two doors; one was the bathroom and was wide open with people puking in it, the second door was strangely closed. He figured all of the rooms would be open with this many people here. Quickly he made his way over, grimacing as he walked past the bathroom and heard someone emptying their stomach.

Where am I? Why does my head hurt so much? Cloud opened his eyes to nothing but darkness, trying to get up he found that his limbs felt like lead weights. What the.. hell.. Squinting his eyes he could barely make out a figure that was moving around the room. Who was that? A warming feeling started to spread through the small blonde's body, starting with his stomach. It reached slowly down to his toes, then to his finger tips and up to his head. No longer did his body feel like a weight, he felt as light as a feather now. Slowly he sat up.
A warm echoing voice vibrated in Cloud's mind, "Ah.. It must be working on him now.."
"Wh..who's there?" Cloud saw the dark figure moving closer to him, but for some reason he wasn't afraid. He felt as if he could stare down a pack of hungry wolves without hesitation. In Cloud's mind that sounded like a good idea right now, if only he knew where the Zoo was.
Soft chuckles came from the dark figure, "No one's here. Just a hamburger."
Cloud squinted harder to try and see through the darkness. Surely enough, the dark figure that was speaking to him was in fact a hamburger. A big hamburger, but a hamburger none the less. The blonde's body moved by itself and started towards the hamburger. I wonder.. What it taste like. Before he could reach his destination the darkness disappeared as the door to the room was swung open violently. Cloud was terrified and backed into a corner.
"Cloud! Oh thank Gaia you're okay." Zack walked over to the blonde and cupped his cheek. Inspecting every inch of the cadet to be sure that he was fine.
"Z.. Zack?" Cloud looked around the room. "Where did the hamburger go?"
Zack raised an eyebrow, "The hamburger?"
"I was talking to a giant hamburger before you came in. He was sitting over there." The cadet pointed to the bed.
The SOLDIER gave a sheepish grin, "Yeah.. I think we better get you home."
The warming sensation was growing in Cloud, his mind was racing. All he wanted to do was be pressed up against Zack. Cloud tackled Zack to the floor, pressing his body as close as possible to Zack's.
"C-Cloud?"
"Mm" Was the only response that Cloud gave.
"Cloud.. You should really get off. I don't want to do anything to you while you're drunk." Zack didn't know that there was another reason as to why Cloud was acting like a little cuddle bug. He looked down to see Cloud happily snuggled into his chest with a light blush across his face. Eh.. Nothing bad will happen. Wrapping his arms around the small blonde he left out a content sigh. He didn't care if anyone walked in and saw them cuddling, he loved Cloud and was happy he was finally warming up to the him, even if he was drunk.
It was hard for Zack to keep calm though. He had imagined doing stuff to Cloud everyday. Zack stared intently at the ceiling, cold showers, cold showers, cold show-.
A soft pant escaped Zack's mouth as Cloud ground their hips together. All Zack could do was stare at the blonde in bewilderment, this was exactly what he wanted. He thought he could keep control, but the blonde was pushing it. No! It's wrong to take advantage of him while he's drunk. No Zack! No!
The music from the living room was flowing through Cloud's ears. He wanted to be close to Zack, but these clothes they were getting in the way. Cloud lifted himself and straddled Zack, slipping his hands under Zack's shirt and lifting it.
"Alright. That's enough." Zack lifted the blonde off of him and got up. "We're going home. You're too drunk."
"But Zaaaack." Cloud tried pleading with him, he was very upset that the warmth the other was giving him was gone. Before he could protest anymore Zack had already tugged him off the ground by his arm and was dragging him into the apartment living room.
Horror struck Cloud as he looked around at the people. What are they.. No one had eyes or mouths, just black holes where they should have been. They all seemed to be laughing at him one moment, then screeching at him the next. The cadet was froze in one spot in fear. Slowly, inch by inch, they started to close in around Cloud. He did the only thing he could in that moment and started to scream at the top of his lungs.
"Demons! Demons! Get away from me!"
Zack stared at the cadet, "What the hell?"
He moved back towards Cloud to see what was the matter.
Zack lightly touched Cloud's shoulder, when the cadet looked up at Zack he noticed that most of Cloud's eye had been taken over by his pupil and was covered in a cold sweat. Something wasn't right.
Cloud smiled up at Zack when he noticed that it was someone familiar, but it didn't take long for that to change. Zack's face started morphing, black holes were forming where his eyes were and blood started to drip from his mouth and forehead. He started to kick and thrash to get away. Zack reacted quickly though and pulled Cloud up and into his arms. He needed to get Cloud to the hospital.
--
Thankfully the hospital wasn't far because for a little more than half the walk there Cloud was kicking and screaming for Zack to let go of him and repeating that he didn't want to die. Finally for the last block of the walk to the hospital Cloud had calmed down, but he was still terrified. His eyes were wide with fear as he gazed up at Zack and repeated, "Kill me quickly." He had given up hope of escaping and thought that if he were going to be killed he could at least beg for a quick death. All Zack could think of was that he though Zack was some sort of blood thirsty monster.
Sadly the cadet started thrashing and screaming again as they entered the hospital. Quickly the nurses took him and brought him to a room and told Zack that he would have to wait. It broke Zack's heart as five nurses carried a screaming and now crying Cloud down the hallway.
It was about two hours later when a doctor emerged from the double doors of the waiting room and made his way over to Zack.
In a low booming voice the doctor said, "Well we ran some tests on him and found out the problem." He drew a small breath before continuing. "He had apparently taken something called ecstasy."
"What?!" Zack couldn't help but yell out of disbelief.
"Please try to keep your voice down." Zack nodded and let the doctor continue. "He's fine now. I guess you could say he had what we would call a 'bad trip'. But he's calmed down now and fallen asleep. You can go see him if you'd like. He's the fifth door on the right." With that the doctor got up and went to talk with a nurse at the desk.
Zack quickly made his way down the hallway and found Cloud's room. And sure enough there he was, sleeping like an angel. The SOLDIER found a chair and placed it next to Cloud's bed and was going to stay there the entire night. He was eager to ask Cloud why he had taken ecstasy, and where he got it for that matter. For now though he would let the blonde sleep, he had a long night.
