Thanks much for the reviews!
I may update this weekly depending on my schedule but don't get your hopes up in case something comes up okay?
I'm surprised by how many people already knew KirePapa though! Lol!
Thanks again for the reviews! I'll try my best to make the story worth waiting!
Warning-again-DO NOT EXPECT AKUROKU(AXEL/ROXAS)! I love them but they're popular enough already and I want to try something different.
"Can I come over today?"
"Huh? Again?" Sora asked over his white cell phone as he waited on Roxas,
"Again what?" Roxas asked getting his street shoes on, the two ready to leave school.
"Yeah…is that okay?" Leon asked using the bar's phone as he got ready to leave work; the place was barely even visited during the day and he cleaned everything already.
"Well I guess so…but I'll be the only one home. Roxy is heading for his part-time job with Axel."
"What's going on?" Roxas asked after getting his shoes on and trying to lean in close to the phone.
"That's fine," Leon replied.
"What do you want to do?" Sora asked as the two started walking out of the school.
"Sora!" Roxas nearly shouted in his brother's ear.
"It's Leon! Now shut up!"
Roxas glared at his brother for that 'order.'
"Okay, sure, we'll talk about it then. I'll see you there…bye," Sora placed the phone in his pocket before looking at the blonder version of himself, "Thanks for almost making me deaf!"
"Then don't ignore me!"
"I was on the PHONE! Or did you go blind?"
"You can't give me a brief 'it's Leon' before you answer him?"
"That's rude!"
"Then cover the mouth of the phone!"
"And they say you're the mature one?"
"That's because I am!"
By this point, the two already stopped walking and were facing each other as they argued.
"Wow…you two really do act like five year-olds when you fight!"
The two was about to yell at the third party that intruded their fight to 'stay out of it!' but stopped upon seeing chains-for-necklaces and belts, black leather-jacket and leather-pants-wearing Axel waiting by his black motorcycle with red flames that he put on himself[with Naminé's artistic help] and enjoying the entertainment.
"Axel!" The two exclaimed but then glared at each other before both of them walk up to him and Axel handed Roxas a helmet.
"I can give you a ride too, Sora," said Axel but Sora declined as Roxas placed the helmet on his head,
"It's okay; I gotta meet up with Leon at my place."
"Leon? The guy that works at 7th Heaven?" Axel asked as Roxas climbed onto the bike.
"Yeah him! You know him?" Sora asked.
"Well…I do go there," Axel shrugged, "Oh my…Sora you're meeting an adult at your house? For what reason? You're gonna make me jealous," Axel smirked. Roxas's eyes widened and he immediately kicked Axel from where he sat making Axel grunt from the impact,
"Don't corrupt my brother's mind!"
"He asked an innocent question," said Sora and Roxas groaned to himself while Axel held in a laugh.
"Anyway, we're just gonna hang out, that's all," Sora replied.
"That's all? Really?" Axel had that same smirk on and Sora only tilted his head innocently while Roxas aimed for another kick but Axel moved to avoid the hit.
"Is your dad home?"
"Of course he's home, he's almost always there for us after school unless Cid suddenly needs to be somewhere, then Dad will watch over the shop for a while longer," Sora explained.
"So he works when you're in school basically?" Axel asked and Sora nodded.
"I see, is there any chance I can come over sometime? I haven't seen your place yet…"
Sora and Roxas exchanged looks of fear,
"Er…"
"Uh…"
And it didn't help that both were at a loss for words…
"Haha, just kidding. I was at 7th Heaven last night and Leon was going on about someone called Cloud Strife so I asked if he had twins for sons because you two had the same last name and he said yeah so…I just put two and two together! So I know you're father's pretty, um, what's the word? A madman if you bring home someone, like say, me?"
"Yeah…" Roxas took a better look at Axel, "Bringing home a 28 year-old man that looks decently normal is probably better than bringing home a pyro-maniac, party-going, idiotic, perverted college student…Yeah that's just asking to be grounded!"
"Hey! I resent that! Oh wait…no I don't!" Axel chuckled to himself as he got on his motorbike, "But really, I would like to go over sometime. I mean, I'm willing to wait until Leon gets, what's the word, comfortable with your father..."
"…In what way do you mean that by?" Roxas asked suspiciously based on the tone Axel said it.
"Huh? Doesn't Axel mean what he just said?" Roxas sometimes can't even answer his brother and ignores him again. Axel only smirked as he places his own helmet on his head,
"You know exactly what I mean, Roxas…"
"What? EW! When-"
"Later Sora!" Axel rode off while Roxas was in the middle of his sentence,
"You perveeeeeeeert!" Roxas shouted as he held onto Axel for dear life.
"Hey! It came straight from the lion's mouth!" Axel shouted into the wind for Roxas to hear when they were far enough from Sora.
"You sure?"
"Positive!"
"Oh man…" Roxas said to himself, not sure whether to believe Axel or not.
"Hey Roxas!"
"Yeah?"
"You have the cutest brother ever!"
"…If you make a single move on him-"
"You'll what? What can you do to me?" Axel pointed out but Roxas took on that challenge.
"If you make a single move on him, I'm telling my dad! And yes, you should fear him! He's got a pretty large sword hanging in his room! I dare you to take that bluff!"
"…Then I guess I gotta get friendly with your father and get his approval!"
"You're insane!" Roxas shouted but Axel went into a sudden halt and his face hits Axel's back.
"No I'm not insane…I just really like your brother…" Axel replied, waiting for the green light.
"No way! You're going to corrupt him!" Roxas was completely against the thought and realized how much he sounded like his father at the moment…
"No I won't…well…okay maybe…well he's 15-"
"Axel! Shut up! And go already!" Roxas ordered when it turned green light.
"You're not the older brother, Roxas, so I'm not listening to you!" Axel laughed and sped off, scaring Roxas again from the sudden start.
Sora ran all the way home knowing he took a lot of time talking to Axel. When he got there, Leon was already leaning against the wall of his house.
"Hey Leon! Sorry I'm late!" he announced as he staggers tiredly towards him and trying to catch his breath before he faints.
"It's okay I just got here," Leon replied as he helped Sora stay on his feet; the poor boy looked like he ran a mile...although that statement might be true. Sora got out his keys and opened the door for the two of them to step inside.
"Dad! I'm home! And uh, I brought Leon!"
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?"
The voice was faint and it didn't sound much like a shout because of the distance, meaning Cloud was upstairs in his 'work room' as he called it; but it was really a place where he becomes a sword nerd. Sora braced himself against Leon, knowing his father is about to storm down and in a matter of seconds, which he did.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM!" Cloud shouted at the sight and Leon immediately releases Sora who lost his balance from the loss of support and falls over in which Cloud immediately pulled him up and held him close.
"Dad!" Sora tried to push him away while Cloud glared at Leon.
"What the hell were you doing?"
"I was making sure he doesn't fall over I guess?" Leon answered,
"It's true, Dad! I ran all the way home and I'm tired!"
"…" Cloud and Leon continued their little stare-contest.
"Dad! Come on! I'm fine!"
"…"
"Dad? Leon?" Sora looked between the two but they seemed to be lost in their own little world…
"I hate you…" Cloud growled.
"Really now?" Leon asked with a small smirk and puts a hand on his waist, "That hurts, because I really like you."
Cloud's grip on Sora tightened that Sora thought he was going to suffocate if Cloud held him any tighter.
"I t-told you! Stop trying to flatter me b-because it won't work!" Cloud shouted, trying to control the blush on his face, "I won't let you stay alone with my Sora!"
"Daaaaaaaaad I'm not a kid anymore!" Sora whined.
"Well…what if you stayed with us?"
"What?" it was Sora's turn to erupt as he's had his father on his back since…forever. He's not allowed to interrupt his time with his friends!
"Fine! But I'm watching you!" Cloud pointed his finger at Leon.
"…I honestly wouldn't have it any other way," Leon replied and Cloud flustered again, trying to quickly brush it off as he slowly releases Sora but Cloud made sure he was always between Sora and Leon.
The three ended up watching a movie at home: a nice, friendly, family movie.
Normally if Roxas was home, he'd be tortured alive by this but Sora quite enjoys family movies and was really into it as he sat upfront on the ground with his own bowl of popcorn and occasionally singing to the songs in the movie. Cloud and Leon sat on the couch behind Sora in silence. Cloud made some occasional glances at Leon to check if he was eyeing his son but most of the time, he catches Leon looking away from him instead.
"Want me to get another one?" Sora asked when the movie ended,
"Whatever you want, Sora," Cloud replied with a light smile and Sora nodded getting up.
"Oh! I'm making a quick call to Roxas too! I'll be back as soon as I can!"
"Okay, take your time!"
"…"
"…"
"…Okay seriously, why do you keep staring at me?" Cloud asked after he was sure Sora was out of range.
"Oh? You noticed…" Leon commented almost proudly,
"It's a little hard not to," said Cloud as he stared hard at Leon and Leon finally turned to look at him.
"Let me reassure you I'm not after Sora OR Roxas…"
"You explain how a 28-year old man is hanging out with a bunch of teenagers?" Cloud demanded turning his body to sit sideways and face Leon without turning his head. Then he got mad at himself for actually remembering the man's age but forgot his name for the first few times he visited.
"Well…" Leon took his sweet time to answer, "Let's just say with the things that happens here, who needs cable?"
"Huh?" Cloud couldn't have sounded any more Sora-ish at that moment. Leon chuckled to himself,
"Never mind then…"
"Hey! Answer my question! And in a way I understand!" Cloud demanded and Leon looked at Cloud straight in the eye which suddenly made Cloud feel relieved he was sitting down and not standing as for that moment he thought his legs would lose feelings if he was standing and saw those eyes clearly for the first time.
"You sure you want that?"
"How many times do I have to say it? Of course I do! I want to know why you're hanging around my sons! A grown man hanging around two teenage boys? Of course I'm suspicious! Now just tell me already before I-" Cloud froze in his spot, eyes widening, his mind going crazy and wandering.
A few moments earlier:
"Sora I told you not to call me during work!" Roxas hissed in whisper.
"Sorry I just want to know when you'll be back…I mean I love watching movies but having Dad watching me the whole time is really annoying," said Sora holding the phone against his ear with his shoulder as he popped in another bag of popcorn into the microwave.
"Oh yeah!" Sora thought to himself, forgetting the bowl back in the living room and started to leave the kitchen as the popcorn made itself.
"I don't know…maybe soon. If Axel comes get me, I'll be home in maybe 15 minutes. Wait why are you watching movies with Dad to begin with?" Roxas asked,
"Because Dad doesn't want me and Leon alone together for some reason. Come on! What could possibly be wrong with that? I can't have adults for friends?" Sora asked out lout; the boy suddenly stopped and his hand reached his phone before his shoulder dropped it.
"Oh god, Sora…I don't really want to answer that. Just forget it."
"Uh…"
"What's wrong?" Roxas asked from Sora's lack of a reply.
Sora blinked and snapped himself out of it. He then quickly hid part of his body behind the wall.
"Um Roxy?"
"What?"
"Has Leon always had a thing for Dad?"
"…What's going on over there?" Roxas asked suspiciously without even answering Sora's question.
"Um…" Sora stared at the sudden, silent, and still scene before him. He couldn't see Cloud's face but he knows Leon just kissed his father and the two weren't moving as if they were trapped in romance movie that the viewer decided to pause on the scene with the first kiss between two lovers, "I'll tell you when you get back…"
Notes:
-For those that haven't noticed or don't know this: Sora and Roxas go to a Japanese-styled school. Their spring/summer uniform is basically a nice white shirt. I didn't mention it but they wear black shorts. Japanese schools have these small lockers where you can change your shoes; which was what Roxas was doing as he changed out of his nice schools shoes to his street shoes.
-7th Heaven is the actual name of the bar Tifa owns if memory serves
-Yes I purposefully gave Sora a white cell phone in contrast to his choice of black clothing and for irony that his twin prefers white clothing.
Please R and R!
