~Hayner Rosenkruez~
Chocolate brown eyes warily watched Seifer, knowing his and Leon's past. "So, you really are telling the truth?" Hayner watched as Seifer nodded; the pale blonde chuckling as he did. Hayner pursed his lips. "I'm sorry that I'm not so trusting of you, but I do know how damn dangerous you are. At least, when you're physically fighting." Seifer chuckled again, causing Hayner to flush slightly.
"You know, I can fight several ways." Ice blue eyes playfully looked at Hayner when Seifer said that. "I'm sure that I can show you one of those ways..." A book was then chucked at the pale blond Angel, who was laughing about it. "I was joking, jeez! Get your mind out of the gutter!" Hayner glared at him, the flush now encompassing his entire face. Oh, he knew better than that. Seifer wasn't joking; he was covering it up.
"Bull, you were joking. Don't forget who you are dealing with, Almasy," Hayner ground out, his glare smoldering even further. Seifer stopped laughing, noticing the anger that was showing in the surrounding air. "Don't you dare try to hide these things from me, because I can tell when you do." The taller blonde quickly walked over to Hayner, who was starting to tear up, and wrapped his arms around him. Hayner didn't even try to stop him. "I've had too many people in my life hide things from me," he whispered into Seifer's chest. "Don't lie to me. Just don't lie to me..."
Seifer shushed him. "I won't. I promise I won't," he whispered, his emotion shining with truthfulness and slight hurt. But, the hurt wasn't because Hayner had gotten angry at him.
It was because he had hurt Hayner by lying to him. Hayner felt a small smile form upon his lips at that realization.
~Sora Leonhart~
Sora watched as Roxas sat down at his desk, the blonde looking slightly uncomfortable in his room. Well, not a lot of people would in a room that was covered in game posters, and what little wall that you could see was painted hot pink and black. "So," Sora started, having already talked on the way up to his room about reasons and such, "what are you guys going to do?" Roxas glanced into Sora's ocean blue eyes, a question in them. "What are you guy's going to do with the five of us? I mean, our home isn't safe anymore, and I doubt that we can move in above the shop." Sora tilted his head. "So, what are the Angel's going to do with us?"
Roxas shook his head, his spiky blond hair swaying as he did. "That is a question for Cloud. He seems to know more about what we are going to do once this is over." Sora nodded, understanding that. "Elder brother doesn't want the younger brother to know," Roxas said with a small smirk, causing Sora to chuckle.
"Sounds a lot like Leon to me, that's for sure." Sora looked into cerulean eyes, seeing amusement in them. "I wonder if it was safe leaving those two together," Sora said. Roxas tilted his head, almost at the same time that Sora did. "They didn't seem to like each other much." Roxas chuckled.
"How much do you want to bet that it was because Leon was still scared shitless about the fact that he had just shot Sephiroth seriously and he wasn't killed?" Sora thought for a second. That would make sense; Leon had shot him through the chest, quite possibly damaging several major organs when he did.
"Yeah, I can see that. After all, that was a kill shot, and he didn't die. Sephiroth only disappeared after Cloud had tackled him out of the office." Roxas nodded, seeing that his point had gotten across. "But, I still wonder what will happen." Roxas chuckled.
"We might take you five to the base. It would make more sense than having you guys move into the shop." Sora nodded. They looked at each other, and all of a sudden, they both started to laugh. Once they had calmed down, Roxas said, "Man, we are too much alike. You were thinking the same thing, weren't you?" Sora nodded, still laughing quietly.
~Leon Leonhart~
He gasped as he was pressed against the wall. "Cloud, stop. We might be found..." Cloud nuzzled against the brunette's neck, softly humming. Leon groaned quietly, the vibrations gently adding to his awareness. "Cloud, really. Don't we need to be talking instead?" Leon was still talking quietly, and a small whimper left his lips as Cloud licked at his collarbone.
Cloud sighed heavily before straightening. "All right. We've already talked about why you are being watched by me, so what else is there..." Cloud closed his eyes, and looked to be thinking. Leon watched the slightly taller man while he tried to calm down. Even though that was difficult with the small, probably unconscious, movements that Cloud's hips were making. "Oh yeah." Leon looked into Cloud's bright blue eyes, which were shining slightly. "The High Seraph Council wants you five to come over to the Angel's base. It'll be safer than your house at the moment." Leon looked at him, with a "You are bullshitting me" look. "I'm not lying, it's the truth. That order was given just in case this happened." Leon rolled his eyes, still not believing it.
"Yeah, right." Leon turned his head away from Cloud, not knowing that Cloud was starting to growl at that statement. He was focused on the small, pulsating light in the opposite corner. Leon heard a quiet song coming from the light; he didn't notice that he was slowly walking towards it until he actually touched it. In the background, Leon heard Cloud yelling at him, but the song was currently drowning him out. He had heard this before; it was always playing whenever the Cosmos wanted to speak with him. So, the gray-eyed man closed his eyes and allowed the ball of light to diffuse into his hand...
-Cloud Strife-
He just managed to catch Leon after that small ball of light disappeared into his hand. "Leon!" Cloud attempted to wake the nineteen year old up by patting on his cheek. "Axel, I know you're out there! I need your help!" Cloud yelled to the foyer. The office door slammed open a second later to reveal the silverette, who rushed over to Cloud's side.
"Sora would know what to do better right now. I'll get him, check his vitals. If I remember correctly, he has the tendency to stop them when he is like this for extended periods of time." Cloud nodded, just as Riku slapped him on the shoulder and ran back out of the office, yelling for the younger Leonhart. Cloud remained calm, even as he checked Leon's heart beat and breathing. 'Good, they haven't stopped yet. Let's just hope that it stays that way.'
"Cloud, let him go," Sora said from behind the blonde. Carefully, Cloud set Leon down on the ground and sat back. The energetic brunette sat where Cloud had vacated, checking over the vitals quickly, and paused at the breathing. "Shit," Sora whispered quietly, shocking Cloud slightly. He started to press against Leon's chest, counting to thirty as he did. Cloud noticed that panic started to get to Sora.
"Do you want me to take over there so that you can check everywhere else?" Cloud asked quietly, hoping that Sora allowed him to keep his brother breathing. Surprising everyone, Sora nodded, and moved on to other checks. Cloud put his ear to Leon's mouth, hearing no air movement, and got back to the compressions.
Axel walked up behind Cloud. "I think we should move him to the base." Cloud nodded, not slowing down in the compressions.
"Move all of them," Cloud whispered, just loud enough for both Axel and Sora to hear him. "That will be easier. Sora and I can go now, while you guys can gather their things and come later." Cloud checked his breathing again, and noticed a small amount of breathing. "He's breathing slightly. It would be better if he was on forced oxygen; that way, we don't have to worry about him fading in and out with the oxygen." Mako-blue irises looked into Sora's ocean blue, and he saw the same thought going through Sora's mind. Pale lips pressed together, while wary acceptance shone in his eyes. Cloud nodded. "Well, then. Axel, go tell the others to gather their things, while me and Sora get Leon to the Angel's infirmary." Axel made a sound of agreement, but Cloud didn't hear him. He was focused again on making sure that Leon stayed alive long enough to get him to the base.
"Wait," Sora said, and he was up, getting two pendants (one of them being the one he wanted to give to Leon) and a tarot deck. "Alright, so, are you flying or teleporting?" Cloud looked into Sora's eyes.
"Teleporting. It'll be the fastest way to get there." Sora nodded, and kneeled back down. "Alright, on three. One." Cloud glanced back up into trusting ocean blue eyes. "Two." He looked down at his brunette's sleeping face, feeling all of the love in his gaze.
"Three."
