Well this is just a little random LeehaltxMalik drabble. Though maybe not as random as the other one I have in mind. I hope you enjoy if you are disgusted at anything to do with two guys hugging, kissing, implying something happened the night before, then I suggest you don't read this. Oh, and remember I don't own Wild Arms 3.

Some Things Never Change

Leehalt was lying in bed, Malik still sleeping by his side. Leehalt held out a small length of hair in front of his face. He then pulled a strand out. It was grey. Leehalt sighed and looked to his side at Malik, who stared back.

"Is there a problem Leehalt?" asked Malik slowly, still sleepy.

" Yes. Look." replied Leehalt quickly. He sounded quite irritated and showed Malik the plucked hair. Malik smiled and rolled over on top if Leehalt.

" You're getting old..." He whispered tauntingly into Leehalt's ear. Leehalt grabbed Malik and turned over, so Malik was underneath him.

" Hey, I'm only 34 and besides, I can keep up with you anytime can't I?" Leehalt whispered back. Malik smiled again, obviously finding something funny.

" You're getting podgy too..." Malik cooed, emphasizing his words with a jab to Leehalt's stomach.

" I am not!" Leehalt exclaimed. Then he had a thought and a smirk grew on his face. " Well at least I'm not ticklish..."

" No! Stop! Ahhh!" Malik laughed. Leehalt continued his tickling onslaught. " Stop! Please!" Leehalt stopped when Malik started to pout.

" See I'm not that old, am I." Leehalt stated. Malik snuggled up against Leehalt, holding in the comment he was laughing at inwardly.

The last thing he remembered a panicking feeling. Yggdrasil had gone berserk. What had Duran done? He remembered the laughter and the shouts. Then nothing.

"What's happened?" came a voice.

"Hello?"

"Leehalt?" Leehalt finally found he could see. It was a mess. The most absurd thing was he was standing over his body which was almost unrecognisable from the large amount of rubble and dust that had settled onto his skin.

" Malik, Melody..." Leehalt murmured. " What's happening?"

" I presume we're dead." Malik replied. " What a sight. What do we do now?"

" The Panakeia fluid" Melody said looking down. " Could we use it?"

Leehalt bent down and placed his fingertips into the small pools of fluid that had not been evaporated by the explosion. At that moment he felt solid again.

"Yes." Leehalt smiled.

Leehalt had made some changes to himself. So had Melody. Malik retained his normal form. Leehalt now had sickly pale skin and looked quite frightening, like a ghost. After the rebuilding of Yggdrasil, Leehalt felt slightly drained. He was lying down, sorting out his plans on what to do next and was also trying to make something of what had happened during the past few days. Malik came to sit down next to him.

" Are you tired?" asked Malik.

" Not really." Leehalt sighed. Malik lay down next to Leehalt and Leehalt wrapped his arms around the young man.

Malik looked up at Leehalt's face and smiled. No matter how much Leehalt had changed physically, he still felt similar. No matter how much would happen, Leehalt would still have grey hairs.

And he was still getting podgy.
