Two halves make a whole
By Silva-Trees
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me; if they did….well lets not go into that as they don't :'( the storyline is my idea though.
Pairings: CloudXLeon, SoraXRiku
Summary (incase you have forgotten in those short seconds you just didn't see it XD) :
A lot can be discovered when four people are forced to live together, who knows what may be brought up. Past experiences, sexuality and pet peeves. Soon Leon's going to wish he had never decided to sub-let his house to the three homeless strangers who showed up. Cloud has a lot to learn about other people's feelings and also the advantage subtly does give in relationships. Riku will finally know what its like to live away from home and his tyrannical parents. Sora? Well Sora will just be his usual goofy, cute self, as well as discovering a lot about his new roommates.
Okay I will be writing in POVs (It won't always be Leon's infact different chapters should be different characters varying from Leon, Cloud, Riku, Sora.) although I might sometimes post in third person, although I'll tell you. Oh I nearly forgot Warning: This contains Yaoi (BoyXBoy) so if you don't like that, then don't read it.
Leon's POV:
'POW! Slice! DIEEEE!!'
Curse that bloody alarm clock to hell, why on earth did I decide to buy the alarm clock that resembled a blade?
Seriously what was I on, when I made THAT decision?!
Of course I didn't realise what it sounded like then, it was only when I came home that I discovered its annoying tune, then that saleswomen wouldn't take it back.
Flashback
A smallish grey bladed alarm clock sits on the counter between two arguing people. One a saleslady wearing a black top with some kind of screwed up skirt/shorts thing. Her nametag reads 'Tifa'. The other person is a tall, imposing brunet with a diagonal scar down the middle of his face.
'Sorry we have a no return policy, didn't you see the sign?'
'But…I just bought this and I swear that wasn't there before! It was you who served me, you must remember me!'
'I'm sorry but I don't recall seeing you in here at all, you must be mistaken, and for your information this sign was ALWAYS here. If you don't mind sir, you are holding up the other customers.'
She smiles evilly at him, and walks over to her desk, picking up the magazine; she flicks through until finding the page she was looking for. Leon turns around. There's no one behind him. Muttering curses, he leaves. Tifa looks up and grins, before returning once more to her article.
End Flashback
I know she remembered me, bitch!
She just didn't want to refund me; yeah well I'll show her. I'll keep this clock just to spite her. What's to bet that resolve is gone in four weeks…NO! Do not think like that Leon, be strong.
HOLY CRAP! What time is it? Eight?! Buggerbuggerbuggerbugger, I'm gonna be late. Do I even have time for a shower? Wait what? I can't not have a shower, that's gross!
- - 45 mins later - -
Okay, all ready right.
Hair? Check.
Clothes? Usual attire, check.
Keys? Che- wait no.
Damn, where did I leave them?
Okay its 8:45 I have plenty of time, right. Looking around the house, why do I never assign a place for keys, you'd think that would be a high priority since it is my transport and all…meh.
Okay back to the keys, under the cushion? Lifting up it, all I find is…a half eaten chocobo-shaped candy bar and art's bone.
Hmm…pocketing the candy bar I sweep my gaze round the room once more and my eyes settle on art's basket…they couldn't be…could they?
Look at her, raising one ear soooo innocently, I know the real you, arty don't you worry, I wont be confused by your mood swings like all the guests.
I think that guy's hand was okay after he tried to fondle your ear…Oh well, not my problem, I did tell him about your 'issues'.
Jeeze, why do I have to get the dog with issues and a sad name like 'heart' from my great-great aunt, it's not fair. Who cares if the bloody dog liked me, they could've found someone else. When she popped her clogs I mean.
I bet you think I'm a cynical bastard right? Yeah well…she smelt funny!
I ask you, would you really want a dog like arty (I had to make her name sound slightly more masculine, I mean how would I look if I went around calling my dog Heart?!)
When you'd just moved out and got your own place…oh yeah a place that needs sub-letters as I kinda went over budget and now need to find a way to pay for it.
Oops.
How do you find sub-letters anyway? I mean do they just pop out on the street and randomly say 'I WANT TO RENT YOUR HOUSE!!!!'
Cause…wouldn't that be creepy and stalker-ish. I mean if someone did that to me I'd knock them out, drag them off and run.
Maybe I should ask someone.
Wonder who…Glancing at my watch I just stand there numbly for a second.
SHIT!!!!
Curse my rambling mind, and I still haven't found my keys. Oh well looks like I'm going in, please don't be too harsh Arty.
Does begging work on dogs?
Nevermind. Plunging in Arty's basket for the keys, I find them but then Arty decides to have a tug-of-war. With. My. Wrist. Oh joy.
After forcefully removing my mutt from my arm, I waltzed out the door, I had won this time. Ha! Usually it's me walking away, suitably cowed.
Right. Time to work.

I. Hate. My. Job.
Ever tried working in a bakers?
Not fun. Seriously. I've grown to hate all sugary things, and people make fun of you.
You'd think they had something better to do. Guess not.
Yes. Lets all torture Leon because he actually has to work, unlike you rich, lazy bastards.
One good thing is, no matter how late I am; they won't fire me. Something about me attracting girls or some other shit.
Yeah well. I don't like girls. I like guys. Tough shit. Just deal with it.
Except this time when I walked through that door, I found girls clustered around someone who wasn't me.
What. The. Fuck?!
That's what I wanted to say, but well you can't go around saying that, especially not in this bakery.
'Who's the new kid?' I asked Aerith, who was also staring at the stranger longingly. 'Aerith?'
Waving a hand in front of her face seemed to work.
'Oh him? He's Clooooud.' Biiig sigh as she said his name.
She then seemed to notice it was me. 'Hey Leon, looks like you have competition.' Edging me in the side. Pointy elbows much?
Ha! 'He can have all the girls, I like guys remember.'
'Oh yeah. Damn you. That means one less guy for us girls.' I smirk slightly, before turning away to put on my apron. With its nice swirly lettering saying 'Leon'.
I mean…horrible, hideous lettering.
Oh, that reminds me, Aerith would probably know how you offer up houses for sub-let or whatever it is.
'Aerith, do you know how you sub-let your house. I mean let people know?' Fingers crossed. Else I might actually have to go around giving out flyers or asking random people. Shudder.
'Yeah. Why? You planning on sub-letting your house?'
Damn her curiousity.
'Yeah. I kinda need to. So how do you?'
She pondered for a moment, and then smiled. 'You put an advert in the paper. Then people come and see and you see if they're suitable…'
Oh. Well that's a lot better than what I thought. Thank God. I actually get to pick the people. Weird.
Oh Aerith's still talking….
'Hey I heard that Cloud needs somewhere to stay. Why don't you ask him?'
'Oh no, don't worry about that. He wo-'
'CLOUD! Hey Cloud!'
GODAMNIT! Doesn't Aerith get a hint? Oh well, too late now. She's already asking him. Hmmm...Maybe I can actually see what he looks like now. Not that I'm curious or anything…I'm NOT.
Well she's talking to him. I'm just sitting here like a moron. Don't I look smart? Better do something. Umm…Let's re-arrange those cake boxes. Fiddle. Fiddle. I'm busy. Shit he's coming over. Busy. Very busy.
'Hey. Aerith says you're looking for a housemate.'
'…Yeah.'
Hmmm…Blonde, blue eyes. Not too bad looking, but not my type. Maybe that's a good thing. Who am I trying to kid? I don't even know what my type is.
'So…how about me?'
Well he seems normal enough, but you never can tell. What if he is a murderous psycho or something? God. I can't have a psycho in my house!! He'll kill me. Then probably eat Arty…Well that's okay.
'Hello? Leon?'
Oops. Did I space out there? Okay. Just say no, say you're completely wrong and I don't think we'd get along. That's all there is to it.
'Sure.'
Wait-what?! That's not No!! Damn mouth, speaking of your own accord. Great now I could have some weirdo sleeping in my house. Great. This'll be fun. Not.
'Cool. So when do I move in?'
Never. Cause you're not moving in. 'Whenever.' I swear if there was a way of mentally slamming my head on the desk without looking like an idiot. I would be doing that right now.
'How about today?' Wait is he grinning at me? Or is that a smirk? Oh yeah. You smile pretty boy. You won't be once you meet Arty. She'll eat you alive. Ha. Maybe this ain't such a bad idea.
'Sure. Why not.' I can feel that devious smile creeping onto my face. Bet it scares him. Heh heh. Oh well. Wait he's also smiling deviously. What does he know what I don't?
Shit. I'm dead.
He's actually kinda creepy.
'Cloud.' Now he's holding out his hand. I don't want to touch it. Okay Leon just think of it as Arty's paw. Not scary at all. Wait what am I saying? Arty's paw?! Okay just take his hand. How hard can it be? Not at all.
'Leon.'
Gingerly offering a hand, well it would be rude not to. Oh damn consciences. Why were they created, to torture people like me, who don't want to touch other people's hands? Meh.
Why's he looking at me funny? I offered my hand! I did. Okay maybe not much, but it was about 5 cm away from where it was before. That's effort! Sheesh.
'Guess I'll see you then, Leon. Where do you live?'
Why's he want to know? It's got nothing to do with him. I like keeping where I live a secret thanks. No creepy blonde stalker guys following me then. Hint. Hint. What? Does he seriously expect me to answer?
'…Leon? How else am I going to know where to come? Unless you want me to follow you home?'
WHAT? Oh wait. He's smiling…kidding right? 'Oh. It's 64 Hollow Bastion road. The big yellow one.'
Wow. That sounded really cool Leon. Way to go. Not. God. I'm such a spaz. Yeah you wander off Cloud, smirking. I'll get you back. Arty loves Blondes. To eat I mean. Cue evil smirk. Just you wait.

Okay there was my lame first attempt at a KH/KH II Fic.
Umm…Please tell me what you think. Should I continue it?
Please review and tell me your thoughts. If there are any questions I'll answer the reviews, or if they make me laugh etc. I'm sure most of you found my fic utter crap and completely not funny at all.
Oh well XD
Silva.
Leon

Oh and Sora and Riku will be introduced in later Chapters as this is a SoraXRiku, CloudXLeon fic.
