It took me a little while, but I finally got it done. Since everyone seemed to love it so much, I hope this doesn't disappoint.

Squall "Leon" Leonheart. I swear that man must be a god. How else can you explain how fucking hot he looked just now? Oh. My. Gods. And, being the idiot I am, I tripped all over myself and made him think I'm an idiot. Great job, Cloud. You really have a chance with him now. What the hell was I thinking? I should've just kept my mouth shut. But, in retrospect, it really wasn't my fault. How was I supposed to know he could look that… I can't even find a word to describe how absolutely amazing he looked.

And now Axel is staring at me. I bet I'm blushing. Damn.

--inthedeadofnightyouandi--

"Hey, Cloud."

"Axel," the blonde greeted with a nod.

"Rumour is you've taken a liking to our dear Leon."

"How the fuck did that get around so fast?"

"Zack's announcing it to near everyone." Cloud resisted the urge to hunt his best friend down and beat him. "So, is it true?"

"I would think that answer would be obvious," Cloud muttered.

"Cool. I'm going to help you out."

"What?"

"We have to make Leon fall for you, of course!"

"Axel, really, it--"

"Cloud. You don't have a choice. If Leon is happy, Roxas is happy because he doesn't get all the grunt work. If Roxas is happy, I get laid. So you're getting my help whether you want it or not. Got it memorized?" Ah, so it wasn't an act of charity. Granted, this was Axel. But even if he did come off as a bit of an ass, he was honestly a good person. Seriously.

"Look, nothing is going to make Leon fall for me," Cloud tried.

"Don't be so sure. Meet me here after dinner, okay?" The redhead winked and then left.

"Zack, I really don't think this is working," Leon said.

"Oh, it's working, all right… and that's our problem."

"How so?"

"It's working too well. He can hardly be around you without fainting."

"You're exaggerating."

"No, really. Cloud faints when he gets nervous."

"Oh, great. So now I can't talk to him for fear of rendering him unconscious! Zack, this was a bad idea."

"No, it was-- and is-- a perfectly fine idea. We'll just have to… improvise a bit."

"I'm not so great at improvisation."

"You'll do fine. How about you just ask him out on a date or something?"

"Won't that make him nervous? I don't want an unconscious date."

"Hm, good point. How about we just--" Knock, knock, knock.

"The door's open," Leon called. A tentative-looking Cloud entered, clad in a sleeveless navy sweater and black cargo pants. That was… new, to say the least.

"Wow, Cloud, when did you get those?" Zack was the first to break the awkward silence: Leon was too busy trying to keep from drooling, and Cloud was a bit too nervous.

"I, um, Axel dressed me."

"Why?" Leon was quick to ask. Zack cast him a smug look, but Cloud seemed confused and hurt. "I meant, uh, why was he dressing you?"

"He said it'd look better on me than what I usually wear," the blonde mumbled. "Erm, Leon, what do you think?"

Leon cast Zack his patented 'leave-now-or-you-will-suffer-a-slow-and-painful-death' look, and Zack quickly and quietly too his leave without Cloud even noticing.

"I like it," Leon whispered, slowly getting closer to Cloud's ear. "But I bet you'd look better with the clothes off." Cloud blushed brightly, but didn't pull away, so Leon took it as his sign to kiss him. Cloud kissed back, but when Leon moved to deepen the kiss, the blonde turned his head away. "What? What is it?"

"I just… don't want this to be about sex. I'm sorry."

Leon sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "It's fine. I've waited a year, I can wait a little bit longer." But the frustration in his eyes made Cloud think it really was not okay.
