A/n: I do not own kingdom hearts even though I want to so I could make a yaoi kingdom hearts lmao. Anyway this my third fan fiction and I think I might take dance with the devil off. It doesn't feel like a kingdom hearts fic even though I think it has the greatest plot out all of my stories so far. This is from clouds' point of view and maybe Leon and the others POV from time to time but anyway, let's get on with this.
Summery- Leon falls ill to a deadly virus that is incurable. So why does cloud act like he knows something about this strange illness? And what does this have to do with a great sacrifice?
Hope you enjoy this one, I'll try and get wolves out of my head and I'll try to not put any in this fic. It's just that I've been playing okami lately and its getting stuck in my head. XD enjoy.
The greatest sacrifice
I stared at Leons' chest rising and falling. It was the middle of autumn and the scarred brunette seemed a little different. I keep telling myself that it was this season that he had arrived here and been the lone survivor of his world. But I knew it had nothing to do with that. I knew sephiroth, my fucking annoying darkness has done something to him, and I didn't like it one bit. I sighed and gazed out the window, I hated autumn; different coloured leaves always got stuck in my hair and it's was fucking annoying to get out. I looked at my blade which lent against the wall next to the gunblade. It shone brightly as the moons reflection glowed upon it. The gunblade was guarded from the moons rays by the buster blade. I closed my eyes and smiled. That was exactly how me and Leon were. I protected him from the darkness and he helped me find my light. But I knew sometime soon that was going to change.
I felt groggy the next morning, I hadn't got much sleep. I couldn't close my eyes and not worry about the scarred man in the bed next to me. I turned and noticed Leon stare at me, he looked pretty pale and sickly but he held that soft smile like he was on top of the world. He was already in his leather outfit and was sitting on the edge of his bed. "Didn't get much sleep?" he asked. His deep monotonous voice held some sort of concern. "I'll be fine." I mumbled turning away from Leon. I could tell he would be frowning at me, a little confused at my answer. I didn't want to see that pale face anymore, I knew he was sick but he won't admit it. He never does, he had a flu for a week and he didn't tell anyone, even though me aerith and tifa had spotted it at the early stages. I heard his heavy boots come closer and felt the bed dip behind me. "You okay? You seem a bit upset." I hated it when he was concerned. "You worry about me when I'm seriously worried about you Leon." I blurted out. I heard him chuckle and sighed angrily. I know what he is going to say. It's 'I'm fine!' "I'm fine." Told ya. I turned around and glared at him. "No matter how hard you hide it Leon I can tell when you're sick. Trust me; I grew up looking after my younger brothers and I can tell when somebody is sick." The brunette rolled his eyes and shook his head. "I'm fine, cloud. Stop getting so wound up and come downstairs." I seriously wanted to punch him.
I ate my breakfast in silence as the rest of the restoration committee talk loudly. My head ache grew and when I had finished, or ate as much as I wanted, I stood up and walked out to the garage. Everyone was staring at my retreating back with concerned looks. You get use to having everyone worried about you. I pushed open the garage door and stared at my bike, Fenrir. I sighed heavily and went over to the tool box. The bike needed another tune up and seeing cid was busy with the gummi ships I choose to do. I wouldn't trust yuffie with a screwdriver. I grabbed a wrench and leaned over the bike seat, starting the work that Fenrir needed.
As I tightened up the final nut a felt someone stare at me. I tightened up the nut as best as I could and stood back. I turned around and saw Leon stare at me. His face was expressionless which didn't surprise me. "Yes?" I asked the tall brunette as I chucked the wrench back into the tool box. "Aerith's worried about you, everyone is." I rolled my eyes and sat on the leather seat of the bike. "hmm." I didn't want to deal with Leon at the moment. If he wasn't going to admit he was sick, I wasn't going to talk to him. I held the handle bars and started the bike up, revving it and grinning at the sound of the huge bike. Leon walked over and I turned the ignition off. "Are you going to talk to me?" he questioned. I stared into his deep bluey grey eyes as he stared back. I put on a thoughtful face and shook my head. "Nah, I think it's only fair, isn't that right Leon?" he growled at me as I got off the bike. "When you want to talk come and find me, or don't bother and make yourself worse." I growled out. I walked out and felt a little childish about what I did, but I knew it was the only way I was going to get him to talk.
I heard the heavy clunk of boots signalling Leons arrival. I didn't turn around or look at him as he sat down next to me on our dorm balcony. The castle over looked the entire town. How peaceful. He sat crossed legged like I have done and also stared out at the view. "You still pissed off with me?" his quiet voice demanding an answer. "maybe." I replied. I wanted him to admit his weakness this once like I have done countless times. "I take that as a yes." He mumbled. "I only want you to tell me what's wrong." I said. He turned to me and frowned. "Nothing is wrong cloud." I've had enough of this. "Bullshit! You know as well as I do that you are fucking ill and yet you hide it!" he stared at me and stood up, his hands on my shoulder as I looked at the concrete floor. "I just..." I didn't know how to finish that sentence. I knew I was going to give in to my feelings if I did. I felt his leather covered fingers grasp my chin lightly as he forced me to look up at him. "You may be worried about me, cloud. But I worry about you all the time. When I'm restoring the town while you work on the delivery service, even when I am sleeping I worry about you. Ever since you came here after being under Hades contract." I blinked a little. Yes, slightly confused but I was soon certain of what he meant when his lips touched mine. My hands reached up and wrapped around the back of Leons neck, I could him smile into the kiss as we drew apart. I felt a little disappointed when the kiss quickly finished that I started another. We both drew back and I rested my head on his firm chest. "Are you going to tell me what's wrong?" I asked, not really wanting to know out of curiosity but through worry. He sighed and held me close. "I'm dying cloud."
