Enjoy the Revised chapter!

After he finished dressing himself, Leon walked toward the shared bathroom, flipping the light switch on as he entered, and looked toward the door that stood ominously ajar, leading into the darkness of his adorable roommate's room. He sighed, knowing that Sora wasn't "his" yet and that he shouldn't get his hopes up, because nothing was every going to happen. If he wasn't so stubborn and good at hiding his emotions, sad Leon would have broken down completely from frustration, but he knew that he had to stay strong for his loved one and keep this a secret until the time was right. His thoughts were against that, though, as his mind constantly repeated the obvious "what ifs": What if the time was never right? What if he rejects me? What if he finds out? No, he won't find out… But what if? The most annoying question that whirled dizzily in his mind was: Will this odd throbbing in my chest ever go away if I never tell him? He stalked to one of the porcelain sinks in the bathroom, and then looked up at the mirror, staring straight into the tired, stormy gray eyes of the person on the other side, searching for an answer, but quickly turned away, knowing that he couldn't find it no matter how long and hard he glared at his reflection.

He pulled his orange toothbrush from the cup that patiently sat next to the blue, Pikachu toothbrush, which always seemed to put a small smile on the older one's face, despite the fact that he felt like shit at that moment. Thick, mint paste was spread onto the bristles and Leon, then, went into the normal routine of brushing, spitting, and rinsing, as his brain raced with all the troubles and worries of the early day and the days to come.

A sudden, small whimpering noise came from the shadows of Sora's room and Leon dried his hands with the blue hand towel (Sora's choice of color, of course) which hung next to the sink, then ambled towards the door to investigate what the sound could have been. As silently as possible, he opened the door more and snuck in, tiptoeing to the bed and catching sight of a squirming and squeaking Sora, who seemed to be having a nightmare. Leon rushed to the tiny, quivering body and sat on the edge of the midnight blue covered bed.

He put one hand on the small brunet's delicate shoulder and shook lightly to tear him away from the terrible dream that he seemed to be experiencing, but when he got no reaction from this, he shook a little more harshly.

"Hey, Sora, wake up…," the lion whispered into the rag doll's ear.

Sora's eyes shot open, darting everywhere about the moonlit room, confused to find himself back in his own room and being intently gazed at by gorgeous cloudy-colored eyes. Gorgeous? The befuddled Sora thought, still dazed and trembling, but let it go as his senses slowly came back to him.

"L-Leon…," he whimpered, wrapping his arms around the older male.

"Shh… It's alright, Sora… Calm down. It was only a dream," Leon murmured softly into Sora's ear, as he accepted the embrace.

The words failed to comfort the pale Sora and he just kept sobbing while he held onto Leon tightly with no plans of letting go anytime soon. Sniffing and finally pulling away, Sora looked up at Leon and stuttered, "I-It wasn't ju-just a dream! I mean, it di-didn't feel anything like that."

Leon stared at Sora with an uncertain look in his eyes, wondering if he really wanted to know what the dream was about, but reluctantly, he asked anyway, "What was the… dream about, Sora?"

He hesitated on his reply for a second, reluctant, as Leon was, to tell the hideousness of what scared the crap out of him and kept him from completely reaching his goal of a cool composure. Taking a deep breath in, he exhaled, "It was about A-…" but he lost it when he tried to say that name. Ashamed, he turned away from the worried face that never stopped looking at him no matter how many times he kept thinking: Just go away! Stop staring at me with pity!

"It's okay, Sora, you don't have to say any more," a soothingly pained voice came from the older and he began to stand up to leave the former "bunny" alone, but his tear-stained sleeve was caught in the small hands of the "bunny". Despite his thoughts of rejecting this, Sora held onto that shirt like his life depended on it; like it was his last chance to truly escape the darkness that was holding him down.

He couldn't control his actions anymore, as the sadness he felt consuming his heart was his master and he had to follow what it wanted him to do. Little Sora screamed at the top of his lungs, forcing out whatever he felt, "It was about the stupid shit-head who left me! It's all my fault that I feel this way! He wanted to get away from me and be with Roxas! I was the fool who didn't see this! He played with my heart, like it was a game; like I was a fucking toy only to be enjoyed for a moment, then broken and left outside to rot! WHY COULDN'T I SEE THIS?!"

Leon stood stunned, unable to move or think, while Sora pulled him back down to sit on the bed again and buried his face into the broad chest. He gently shushed the one that was sobbing in his arms, slowly calming them both down. He glanced down, shocked at the way Sora reacted and what he had said.

Once Sora was as calm as he possibly could be in this situation, he tried to go on with what the nightmare was actually about.

"He was with R-Roxas," Sora stuttered out weakly, "T-they were together, and they were happy….. I was left forgotten. Everyone was happy, celebrating, without me. They were happy, laughing and dancing together, so I turned to run away, but I couldn't escape the laughter. Their happiness was smothering me, everyone was so fucking happy, and I couldn't get away and…"

"And?"

"And then you were there, with a worried look on your face, and you had woken me up..."

Both stayed silent for a few minutes as Leon held Sora close to his chest, stroking his soft, brown hair, as the little one cried helplessly.

"You should forget about him, you know," Leon said, finally breaking the silence, "You have to move on. He cheated on you and the only thing that you can do is move on. There is someone out there who is truly meant for you, who won't treat you the way he did." Like me…

"I can't forget him. I hate him so much for what he did, but I still love him, and I hate that I still love him, so I can't forget him and I can't forget what he did, so I can't move on. It's impossible, since this must be my punishment for being happy for so long."

The older one sighed and they relapsed into a silence again, with the only thing that could be heard were the sirens outside and an occasional shaky breath that Sora took in.

"Trust me, you will be happy again. This is not punishment, it means that there's something or someone else out there for you. He did this, because he doesn't deserve someone as special, sweet, and kind as you."

"If I'm truly all of that, then why did he do it?!"

"Because he's a stupid jackass who doesn't know anything about what he had just lost."

"You really think so?" asked Sora, with tears still at the brim of his eyes, threatening to come out.

"Of course," Leon replied in a soft whisper.

"Then, thank you for believing in the impossible."

Leon looked at the clock that stated that they should both be asleep by now and just when he shifted to move off the bed again, he felt another tug on his sleeve. He looked at the younger one only to find that Sora was staring at him with his well-known puppy dog eyes, but they held a hint of desperation and sadness in them.

"It's time for bed now, Sora, and tomorrow is another day."

"I… I know. It's just…." He paused on the last part, "Can you stay with me tonight. I don't want to be alone. It'll just be for tonight and I promise I won't ask ever again."

At this, Leon had to chuckle, "Of course. I'll do anything to help you."

He motioned for Sora to scoot over and he removed his tear-stained shirt, revealing his beautiful, tanned, muscular body, lazily dropped it on the floor, and climbed into bed. Moving closer to the smaller body, Leon drew the blankets closer to them and took Sora in his arms as he said goodnight.

"Sweet dreams, Sora."

Sora was speechless at Leon's act of sudden physical contact, but he wasn't complaining. He felt warm and safe with those nice, toned arms around him, holding him. He snuggled closer to the warmth and faded off into his worriless, sweet, fairytale dreamland. At that moment, Leon felt content with just listening to his unrequited love's steady breath that meant he had finally fallen asleep, but dear Leon had also felt a hollowness that came with the love he felt. Can't you see me, Sora? Can't you see that I'll make you happy, that I can make you forget about him only if you choose me? Why can't you see this?

Leon knew, though, that he couldn't make a person fall in love, he couldn't help but wish that Sora would suddenly fall for him and forget all about the stupid bastard who broke his heart. He was unable to fall asleep, because he was overly aware of the petit one's presence, but stayed as long as he could.

~5:00 A.M.~

A beeping sound tore a blue-eyed blond from a peaceful, romantic/explicit dream about his "secret lover", Sephiroth that he was enjoying. At this insanely annoying noise, Cloud stretched out a hand from under the blankets to search for the source of the beep to turn it off. He sat up, yawned, and wondered whose idea it was to buy a plane ticket for the 6:30 A.M. flight…. Oh, yeah. Mine.

It wasn't so bad for him, though, because he was sort of a morning person and thoughts of going back home into the waiting arms of his patient lover made Cloud even more anxious to get up and go. He quickly jumped out of the warm bed, dressed in a simple long-sleeve, form fitting grey tee and casual black jeans combo, and went through daily routines, mainly brushing his teeth and passed a brush through his impossibly spiky hair, and stuffed his clothes into a bag.

Cloud buried a hand through his golden locks, sighing deeply, because he was going to miss Sora, his favorite little cousin, and he knew there wouldn't be a day when he wouldn't worry about the little guy, but he had to get away from that person and those memories. Besides, Cloud trusted Leon and knew that he would do the best to help Sora escape his depression. He quickly took one last look at the clock and thought, 'Fifteen minutes? That's a record,' then left the hotel.

Sweet Cloud wanted to say goodbye first to his favorite cousin and make sure that he was doing okay still, so he waved down a taxi and left for the apartment building. It took about fifteen minutes to finally make it through the crowded streets as Cloud wondered how the hell people are actually able to get up at that time everyday for work. He exited the taxi and paid the driver, asked him to wait a few minutes, while thanking him politely, but was only scoffed at in return and without delay, he entered into the complex, knowing that neither Leon nor Sora would let someone in this early in the morning.

Cloud went into the elevator, carefully pushing the button for the correct floor, but as he got closer to the floor, his insomniac-induced, childish side kicked in and he couldn't help but push a few more buttons and watch them light up. Luckily he was already going up and he had pushed the down buttons, but then he began to press the higher level ones, randomly. A business looking man entered the elevator at the floor that Cloud had to get off at and as the doors closed on the poor, confused man, the blond was already running to escape and laughing hysterically at this act.

He quieted down as he came upon the Sora and Leon's room, then took out a *Cough*secretlymade*Cough* spare key, testing it for the first time. 'Perfect,' he thought as the key had slid into the lock. A click sounded and he tiptoed in sneakily, like a ninja (or so he thought), but as he went into the kitchen he began to chicken out of trying to surprise them, because he heard somebody else moving around. It was too late, though, because just as he turned around in the dark, tripped and toppled over another shadowed figure.

Before he could completely freak out he heard, "What the hell," and felt relieved to hear that it was only Leon whom he had the pleasure of falling on.

"Oh, thank goodness it's only you," Cloud replied, which is an odd thing to say, considering that he was the one who was breaking and entering.

"Cloud?! What the hell," repeated the obviously shocked Leon, "How did you get in? Did Sora forget to lock the door again? I keep telling him that he can't forget or weirdoes and perverts will get in…"

"Uh, hi?" Cloud said, somewhat offended by the weirdo comment, "This might not be a good time to mention that I have a spare key to the apartment and I came here to surprise you and say goodbye, so goodbye."

"Yeah, whatever, just get off of me," Leon harshly replied, suddenly feeling an odd sense of déjà vu, "You're not light either."

"Oh, oops, completely forgot, sorry," and he scrambled to his feet, helping the other up and finding the light switch, too, "and I'm not that heavy! You're just weak!

"If you're awake, does that mean Sora is too?"

"No," the lion stated bluntly, walking over to the fridge to get something to drink.

"Then what are you doing up?"

"Sora had another dream about you-know-who, and well I had to make sure he fell asleep, but now I can't sleep." He sat down on the couch and grabbed the remote to turn the T.V. on.

"Oh, well could you tell him goodbye for me when he wakes up, then," Cloud asked, now noticing how exhausted Leon looked, he turned to leave when Leon asked:

"I thought you were here to tell him goodbye. Aren't you going to wait for him to wake up?"

"I wish I could, but I can't," he said, "I don't want to miss my flight, so take good care of him. I'll see you later."

"Bye," and with that, Cloud left the building, taking the other elevator, since the one he came off of before was still stopping at every other floor (poor guy).

What was that about? And how the heck did he get a spare key…. At that moment Leon looked at the door and then thought: We need to get that lock changed….

Cloud made it back to his taxi and asked the driver to take him to the airport, but as the driver took off, he looked out the window and saw a flash of unnaturally, bright red hair right outside the building. (*gasps!*) He quickly glanced back, but it was already gone. It couldn't be… No, I'm just tired, it's been a long month and… throughout his taxi ride to the airport and his flight on the plane, he kept reasoning with himself and how it couldn't have been that person and that many people dye their hair red and that there is no way Axel could have found out that Sora had moved. Even if he did, he wouldn't stalk the poor boy would he? He did have that obsessive side, but it couldn't have been him anyway, he wouldn't be here. It must have been somebody else.

After a few restless hours on a plane, Cloud came home to an empty apartment. He found a note on the kitchen table, next to the phone, in Roxas's handwriting that made him turn completely pale.

Cloud,

I've left for Tokyo to search for Axel and get back what is rightfully mine. Don't look for me.

Roxas.

"OH SHIT!" Cloud exclaimed after reading over the scrawled words a few times to make sure it really said what it said. This confirmed that the redhead really was Axel and he really was there.

Cloud jumped at the phone and dialed Leon's number with inhuman speed and impatiently waited for someone to pick up. Dammit Leon! Pick up the fucking phone!

"Hello?" A sleepy voice from the other end had asked.

Oh, crap. "Good morning, Sora," Cloud said, trying to sound like nothing was wrong, "Is Leon there?"

"Hi, Cloud. Leon isn't here; he went to work a couple of hours ago. You can tell me, though, and I'll write it down for him."

"Uh, no, it's nothing," he lied, "I was just, um, calling to say that I made it home safely…"

"Oh, okay, I'll tell him that, then. Is that all?"

"Yes, of course! That's all!" He was really starting to freak out, because Sora always sounded like an innocent little kid on the phone and he didn't want to lie to his cute little cousin, but he didn't want to hurt Sora by saying that his ex-fiancé was currently in the same city.

"Bye, Sora," said Cloud quickly, slowly feeling the guilt gnawing at him.

"Oh, by the way, can you tell Sephy that I miss him, too."

"Sure."

"Okay, bye-bye Cloud." Click.

Cloud carefully put the phone back and took another look around him, loneliness quickly flooding through his body. Unbelievable.
