It wasn't long before there was a knock at the door and a shout from the other side. He had done something not even Sora would have done. He had been a fool, but a courageous fool, in Riku's words. Leon had only been in his room for two minutes before someone had disturbed the peace.
"Come on out, Squall!" came Tifa's voice. "You have to stop being emo some time and come and talk to us!"
"I'm not emo!" he yelled with equal force.
"Yeah, go ahead, Squall, say whatever you like, nothings gonna change." After the last outburst, there was silence and Leon thought it safe to sigh and breath again.
"Stupid girl doesn't know what's good for her," he muttered under his breath.
"I heard that!" came a yell from downstairs. Leon shuddered and could only wonder at how she could have heard him from so far away and just decided to leave it alone for now. He had something to think about anyway. It had something to do with the stupid thing he had done today after school with a certain someone.
There was another knock at the door that interrupted his thoughts. "Leon," came Riku's voice. "Just because you got rejected by Cloud, the guy you have had a crush on for some time now and feel extremely bad knowing that he could never love you, that doesn't mean you can stay in your room forever and sulk."
"Yes it does," he replied. There was a sigh from the other side of the door.
"You know what?" he asked.
"You have ice cream?" Leon asked hopefully.
"No, I think that you need some fresh air."
"And ice cream?"
"No, some comfort from some friends."
"Don't forget the ice cream."
"Fine! The ice cream!"
That was exactly what happened. Leon had confessed his undying love to Cloud and had been brutally rejected by the love of his life. The blonde haired angel had said that they could never be together and that he could never love the brunette. Leon had only nodded and forced a smile, but the façade hadn't lasted but twenty seconds, which was enough for him to walk away and retreat to his car. From there he had floored the gas and burned rubber trying to get away from that one scene.
Now he sat at a bench at the park with a bunch of boys surrounding him.
"Cheer up," Roxas, Sora's twin, said encouragingly.
"You can't be emo forever, you're not your brother" Axel said as he put an arm around Roxas. Said boy shook it off with disgust and glared at the pyromaniac.
"You wanna bet?" Leon asked, slurring his words.
"Okay," replied Axel. "We'll bet. I bet that you will get out of your emo mood soon enough and start being more happy and perky."
"And I bet that you'll forget about Cloud sooner or later," was what came from Roxas.
"And he'll fall for you," was Sora. All the boys stared at the brunette.
"What do you mean by that?" Roxas asked. Sora only shrugged at his brother and smiled.
"Me, Tifa, and Yuffie are unstoppable!" was the last thing he heard before Leon's world went spiraling down into the pits.
Tifa had been a good friend of Leon's since the two were in diapers. Yuffie was only a bonus. Well, really, he lived with them, they were his sisters, no helping that, it mattered on how you looked at it. Yuffie was the sort of person that liked to kill someone with a bright smile on her face. She liked to say that she was a ninja, even though everyone knew she wasn't. But there were those moments that Leon didn't doubt her.
Sora had called them over because he thought that they could help, and they could, just not the way Leon wanted help.
"Is there a knife anywhere?" he asked once they were in the ice cream parlor. "Or a gun?" Tifa only shook her head, her pretty hair flying everywhere. The three hottest girls in the school had to all had be best friends (not to mention his sisters), and Tifa had to be one of them. Yuffie was one of the others and lastly, Aerith.
"You know what, Yuffie?" Tifa asked. Yuffie looked up from her Game Boy and looked at her questioningly. "Leon needs some ice cream." Both Leon and the ninja girl nodded their heads in unison.
"That would be lovely," came a voice from behind the brunette boy. Leon turned around to face his sister.
"Hello, Aerith," he replied. "Do you mind getting me some ice cream?" he asked. Aerith shook her head and graced her lips with a soft smile.
"Anything for my darling brother." Tifa coughed as Yuffie choked on nothing. Sora, who sat next to the ninja girl, chuckled. Roxas and Axel burst into laughter.
"Did you hear that?" Axel asked with some trouble. " 'Darling brother'!" he continued laughing.
"He's a darling and he's our brother," Tifa explained before she laughed at her own theory. Leon glared at all three of his sisters. Yes, all three, meaning that the hottest girls lived down the hall from him. "Roxas," she called out. "Be a dear and get us some ice cream."
Roxas calmed down and looked at Tifa. "What kind of ice cream?" he asked. Tifa looked around.
"Vanilla for me and Aerith and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for Yuffie and Leon." Roxas nodded before heading off with Axel on his trail to help. They came back later to find that the three girls and Sora were huddled in a corner discussing something.
"Girls," he announced as he and Axel handed out the ice creams. The three girls, Leon, and Sora all received their ice creams before going back to discussing they're evil plot.
"So this is what Sora meant," Leon said as he licked his ice cream enthusiastically. Tifa and Yuffie nodded their heads.
"We have our ways."
There conversation was kept a mystery from Roxas and Axel until a few hours later when they were at the store.
"Sora, what are we doing at Home Depot?" Roxas asked. Sora looked at his brother and laughed.
"Do you remember that time that Cloud made a fool of himself?" he asked. Roxas nodded.
"There's way too many to remember," he replied with a smile.
"Well, we're going to recreate one of those moments."
"How?" the blonde headed asked.
"You'll see."
The rest of the day was spent with the girls as they went around with a video camera. They were asking people some questions about an incident that happened a few months ago over summer break.
The story behind Cloud, Roxas, and Sora was that they were all brothers that had moved to Twilight Town over the summer. Once there, they met Leon, Axel, Aerith, and Riku. It wasn't long before they were all close friends, but that was summer. School had changed everything. Need a flashback?
Flashback
"So what's your name?" Leon asked the spiky blonde headed boy. He had looked antisocial at first sight, and to Leon, he still seemed a slight tad bit antisocial.
"Cloud," the boy muttered. Leon only nodded as he looked over his shoulder to see his younger brother, Riku, playing with the one named Sora.
"Nice to meet you, Cloud," he greeted. "I'm Leon." Cloud only looked at him skeptically before going back to what he was doing earlier, brooding.
"And I'm Aerith," came a voice from behind Leon. The two turned to face the girl that had spoken. She stuck her and out and smiled. Cloud shook the hand while he muttered his name. "Nice of you to talk to my brother, he's usually holed up in his room writing suicide notes to himself."
"Am not!" he burst out with a bright red blush on his cheek.
"Fine," came Yuffie's voice. "Call it your diary."
"No," he said. "My journal of everlasting DOOM." They all burst out into laughter save for Cloud. All he did was stare at Aerith. Tifa came up behind Leon and smirked.
"Hey, new kid," she called out. "Stop drooling." Cloud shook his head and mumbled an apology. Tifa smiled, Aerith blushed and Leon and Yuffie laughed. Tifa turned to Leon. "Come on, kid, let's go home, dinner awaits us." Cloud blinked.
"You're all siblings?" he asked. Leon nodded.
"Yeah, pretty big family," Yuffie said. "Me, Tifa, Aerith, Leon, Riku, and Denzel." Cloud only stared at her as his mouth hung open.
"Wow," he replied. "That is a lot." Yuffie nodded.
"So," Tifa announced. "We're off."
Weeks into the scorching summer of Twilight Town and Cloud found himself hanging out more and more with Leon and his gang. He found that he had more things in common with Riku than with anyone else. Soon, the two were best friends, and everyone saw the flaw in that. Riku had his own group of friends that consisted of low life scum and gang members and they all were reunited when school started. Leon and Cloud hadn't seen each other after the beginning of the first semester and only met when Riku had him over. Leon gave up the thought that he could have been friends with the blonde headed beauty and soon harbored a crush for the angel. It wasn't long before his sisters, Sora, Roxas, Axel and Riku knew, but the blonde stayed oblivious. Yuffie and Tifa encouraged him that he should confess. But see where that took him?
Leon looked at the video that his sisters had made and smiled.
"I like, but I don't want to show this to anybody," he said. Yuffie shook her head.
"Of course you don't that's why we will." Her bright smile assured Leon that this was going to be one heck of a Prom this year.
A/N: How'd I do? Comment? And I need some advise on what the theme for there prom should be…. something flashy or gentle?
