"Zack, I can't see anything." A tall, lean, dark haired teen stepped off the arriving train, pulling a shorter, equally thin boy with eccentric blonde hair after him. Zack, as the raven haired one was called, smiled slyly.
"Don't worry kiddo, I won't let you trip."
"I'm not worried about that! I want to see where I am!" Cloud struggled against Zack's hold, trying to remove the blindfold that covered his bright eyes. Zack locked his fingers with Cloud's, leading him down the stairs of the station platform, wanting him to see the sky of Tokyo as soon as he could.
"Um…there is a herd of little kids going on a fieldtrip somewhere, a boring hetero couple holding hands acting drunk, a visual kei cosplay group,"
"Zack!" The older teen had accidentally let the blonde run into a telephone box upon his careless rambling.
"Whoa, sorry there Cloudy," Zack pulled Cloud back to his side, making a mental note to not let him stray too far out again.
"Why can't I see yet?" Cloud demanded, blindly finding Zack's arm and clinging to it.
"Because, I want the first thing for you to see here is the sky, not the loads of creepers that are lurking around." Cloud's face visibly paled, more so than his normal white-washed complexion.
"Creepers?"
"Don't worry about it Cloud, I'm here to protect you! I promise." Cloud smiled, looking slightly odd without the additional smiling shine his brilliant eyes gave off. The smile was quickly covered up by a thin line drawn with pale lips as Cloud turned his head toward Zack's.
"Why the sky?"
"Well…one, the first thing I saw, before your radiant beauty, was the sky. And two…it's pretty!" Cloud chuckled, unable to keep his stern disposition intact. It was so hard to be cold and harsh around Zack, especially when your boyfriend was the said dark haired boy.
"Mm, I guess I'll go with you on this one then."
"Great!" Zack wrapped an arm around Cloud's tiny waist, leading him down one more set of stairs, a tingling sensation of anxiety building up inside of him. Just a little bit farther.
"The cars are getting louder, are we close?"
"You bet, just a few steps more." Cloud took small, cautious steeps, even though everything in his body was telling him to just jump down and run to the street, wanting to see the city he would live together with Zack in. Cloud almost lost his footing for a moment, clinging to Zack's arm. "It's alright." Zack chuckled softly, slowing his pace to match his footing in time with Cloud's. "Step… step….step…step." Cloud let out a small, relived sigh when his foot hit the hard cement of the side walk. Sun peeked through the thin cloth covering his eyes, glowing a bright orange through his shut eyes.
"Are we here?"
"Yep! Your first street corner in Tokyo, stop number one! Are you ready?" Cloud smiled, nodding. Zack took his sweet time slipping his fingers through the knot of the blindfold, teasing Cloud playfully.
"Hurry up Zack!" The sounds of the rushing cars, the loud ripples of conversations being carried on, all of this things overwhelmed Cloud, and he was ready to take it all in. In one swift movement, the cloth was removed, and slender fingers tilted Cloud's delicate face upwards. Indeed, the first thing he saw upon arriving in Tokyo, was the sky.
