Leon was leaning on his elbows on his bed when Zexion walked in. Zexion was nervous and Leon knew it and that…made Leon nervous. Zexion sat on the bed next to his brother and Leon stood up. He began to pace back and forth with his hands behind his back and his facial expression undetectable. "Leon stop pacing" He shook his head as if disturbing a nearby fly. "Leon stop!"

Nothing

"Leon quit or Griever goes in the garbage disposal!" He stopped short analyzing the thought, he came to the conclusion that Zexion would be the one person who could manage that feat. "He's so upset Zex! I can't stand it. It hurts me!" He pointed to his chest. Zex flipped his hair back and sighed. "Would you like to know why, Mr. Avoids-the-obvious?" Leon was silent so he continued. "His adoptive parents died in a car crash. He's not only upset about the wreck but the only relatives that can take them in are such asses they say they'll only take Dem because he's blood related to them and Cloud's not. After that he feels guilty because Dem is refusing a life with wealthy parents that could assure his musical dreams are achieved, for Cloud. So they have nowhere to go when the house forecloses. Leon was in shock. "How…"

"Demyx." He stated shortly. "My boyfriend for over a month decided it was good to tell me we might never see each other again." Leon was pissed. Pissed that Cloud was leaving and pissed that he had been so caught up in his own problems he hadn't noticed his own brother was dating someone.

"Leon don't worry about it. We all know you get so caught up in depression you don't notice anything."

"He has a point." A girl's voice rang out. They both looked around and seemingly out of nowhere Yuffie appeared. "By the way they can live with us. I mean your basically stapled to Demyx anyway Zexy and this will help my Cloud-Leon master plan." Leon's eyes widened and all he could manage was "shit."

Riku came into the house with a look on his face that made Yuffie's day a grin spread ear to ear on her face. "M…mom," Riku said weakly.

"Woot! I knew it!" Yuffie jumped in the air with a triumphant pound. She bounded onto the couch cross-legged and gripping her shins excitedly. Riku could tell she was suppressing a fan girl squeal. "Tell me all about it!" Her eyes were glistening.

"She's fukin hot"

"She?" Yuffie gave him a glare that rivaled Leon's.

"Yea this way hot chick gave me her number. Said she had a friend she wanted me to meet. But I don't think I wanna go there. I mean if I think she's hot and I don't like her friend then how would that all work out?" he rambled a bit more which caused him to miss the flash of steel as five shiny throwing stars whistled past him, narrowly missing a few, ehem, important body parts. Riku stood frozen in place, terrified. "What?!" He finally managed.

"You're not straight quit lying to yourself!" Yuffie exclaimed before storming upstairs to join a stoically depressed Leon. Riku sighed. She was half right. The girl was gorgeous but he wasn't attracted to her in the least. But he wasn't gay! Guys were sooo not hot! A flustered Axel flung open the front door and was joined by two small boys. Roxas and…Roxas' brunet twin. Riku's jaw dropped. Axel glanced at the stars stuck in the wall slightly amused. "Deny your inner gayness again? Tisk tisk. " He wagged a finger, grinning but Riku didn't notice. Drool was now forming at the corner of his mouth. Axel's grin widened. He seized this opportunity and forced the chattering chipmunks apart. Stepping between them to deter further comment he pulled Roxas the original to himself and briskly shoved Sora into Riku. "He's my chattery, emo, pyro, boyfriend get your own. I don't wanna share!" Axel finished childishly with what might have been a pout but was not well accomplished because of the joking grin. He then swooped a protesting Roxas off for what Riku could only force himself to think of as an "apology" The picture of Roxas and Axel Making out wasn't a fun one.

Yuffie: thank you

S.V.G.: Beep

Yuffie: Glares

S.V.G.: cowers

Riku then noticed a very cute very confused brunet was clinging to his shirt like the perfect little Uke. A jolt of lightning when through his stomach and lower areas as he soaked in the feeling of the small boy against his chest.

"Como esta?" Riku asked weakly

The boys face lit up. "Bien gracies Como te Iiamos?"

"Riku, Y tu?"

"Sora"

Translation for those of you who are not currently in spanglish class

Riku-how are you?

Sora- good thank you. What's your name?

Riku- Riku and you?

Sora- Sora

Sora was still leaning on him and Riku wasn't sure what to do. He had just realized that his mum in fact did have a perfect "gay-dar" and that he was now infatuated with some gorgeous stranger. That, as weird as it sounds, looked like his brother. "So um.." Sora perked up quickly and said "Your gorgeous. Did you know that?" Riku flushed and attempted to mutter that Sora was beyond words of beauty but at that moment he was completely inarticulate. Sora took his hand ran his fingers over the knuckles, then the creases in his palm. "um.." Sora started to turn bright red. And his hand started to shake. "I'm sorry." He panicked and readjusting his messenger bag he started quickly towards the door. Riku had no clue what was going on but he did know he had to have a phone number. He jogged after the boy and grabbed his wrist to stop him. "Can I have your phone number?" He splurred out quickly. Sora seemed to be totally shocked by this question but pulled a pen from his bag and began to write a number on Riku's outstretched hand. Riku smiled at him and his face seemed to light up again the way it was a few moments ago. Then he was gone. Riku collapsed against the door, eyes shut so that he could concentrate on embedding the feeling of Sora's touch into his skin. When he did open his eyes it was to see Axel leaning against the wall at the stair landing smirking. "what?" Riku asked dully.

Axel shook his head. "Nothing. Its just that your about as straight as a corkscrew, as Sora likes to put it." Riku shook his head in a 'thanks for the update' sort of way. "So what happened here anyway?" Riku finally managed. Axel's eyes got cold and his face became pale. "Roxas managed to slip away and buy them both pixi stix. I don't mean the small adorable ones. I mean the frikkin' arm length ones. By the time I got to them they had drained that and a couple of Nos energy drinks." He shuddered. "Sugar High"

"Hm." Riku responded. " That explains it." Axel gave him a questioning look but changed his mind and decided to go with taunting. "Mum wants to rent out the basement. Sora's in town on tuition and was thinking about renting it out." Riku didn't take the bait exactly the way Axel had been hoping. Instead of freaking out he grinned brightly, strode over to the couch and passed out. NO he did not faint! Men don't faint! They pass out from sheer pleasure and have wonderful wet dreams. And of coarse that's exactly what Riku, as a man, was going to do. As if on cue Roxas came bounding down the stairs to Axel with the cutest 'Wanna play?' Grin ever known to man. Axel's knees got weak and he followed the blonde up to their room.

Yuffie sighed as she watched all this from her hiding spot. Almost all was well. Leon was always most difficult but she could handle him. A hand slid down Yuffie's spine and she smiled. Only one person could find her when she was in shonenai stalking mode. She turned to see her husband's beautiful vampiric face and his loving soft smile. She cuddled up to him as he took her in his arms; her fingers splayed across his chest and her other hand running up and down his back. "I love you, Yuffie Valentine," The vampire whispered softly. "I love you, Vincent. They both smiled. And the troublesome aura slipped from the house and even Leon found himself a bit calmer and more able to appreciate his mother's gumption for taking in two more boys. (because of coarse he doesn't know about Sora yet.)
