Chapter 1:

Riku leaned into Leons arms. He sighed and Leon held him tighter. They were up waiting for SOra, Cloud was asleep, having just gotten back froom Traverse Town. Leon and Riku knew that they weren't made for eachother, but maybe that's what kept them together for so long. They all stayed together, the four teens that lived in the small apartment since the machina took over. The machines were the reason life was so hard.

Leon leaned against the sement block styled building. His eyes tracing Riku, no doubt the boy was adorable, but he wasn't perfect. Riku stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly. The bell rang, signalingbreak time was over. Cloud looked at the couple witha sad glare in his eyes and the three teens entered their work along with other employees.

Cloud worked as messenger between Twilight Town and Traverse town. He had the transportation, and did it faster than anyone else could. He sometimes had to stay in the other town for days, but that was rarely. He got payed nicely, it kept their apartment and rent underway. He payed the bills. He was also the oldest and looked out for the others.

Leon was the one with the safest job. Even though he worked for sap money to get food on the table he knew he would probably come home alive every night. He was the one who checked the mail packages that go in and out of the building, making sure nothing bad or wrong was being transported. It let him be near at least one of his friends. He saw Cloud during most of his day.

Riku, The second youngest was machina cleaner. He bought the neccessities. The fridge, toothpaste, shampoo, washer and drier. He was soon to be updated to a higher paying job, but he had no clue what it was. He missed seeing his youngest friend throughout the day. He had always been near him growing up and Leon was the most stable thing he had at the moment. AT least he got off every other Friday.

Sora couldn't work for the machina at fifteen. He was the next worse thing. A stripper from Destiny Islands. What could be better? He didn't come home until early in the morning. He bought the wants for the family. The dog, the books and games. He got weekends off with the other teens. It was the only time he actually got to see his roommates, other than Cloud, who stayed up for him every night to make sure he came home alive.

New Scene

Riku rocked himself in the overstuffed chair he had bought a week or so ago. Cloud had gotten in late again and so he went to bed as soon as he did. Riku however did stay up for the youngest member of the group of friends. The door opened quietly and a cold wind blew through the room. Riku shot out of the chair at the sight of a pasty colored Sora. His eyes were dilated and his lips blue. His coat was freezing cold, Riku learned as he touched him slowly. He pulled it off grabbing a throw off the old couch and wrapped it arooound him pulling him close.

His blue lips were closed over chattering teeth and Riku felt tears come to his eyes. He held Sora close glad he wasn't coughing up blood like the night before.

New Scene

Cloud came into the kitchen, his eyes worried because he hadn't seen Sora in his bed, or his own, where he had started to come to as the two got closer than ever before. But it seemed slightly platonic and the both of them knew it. Cloud looked at Leon who had a smirk on his face. Good old Leon, back to his smirking ways. Leon nodded towards the living room where Two figures lay on the couch. Both teens looking healthy with a bright undertone in their cheeks. Cloud smiled, everyone came home safe last night.

New Scene

Riku opened his eyes and glanced at the clock. Noon, time for Sora to head to work. He nudged Sora and as Sora cuddled up into Rikus chest. "You aren't going to come home like that tonight. You're staying home with me."
