Leon's eye gave an irritable twitch.

However, all the eye twitch in the world could not change the fact that Sora was standing in his doorway, holding an unconscious Cloud. Sora smiled timidly, muttering a quick 'sorry'. The younger brunette slipped into the door and made for the bedroom, his small frame barely able to support the blond's weight.

Leon wanted nothing more then to push Sora back out the door, but as cold as he was, he could not muster the strength to be cruel. Sighing angrily, he followed Sora into his bedroom and began to inspect Cloud's wounds.

It seemed like every other day Sora would pop up with Cloud slung over his shoulders. Over the course of nursing Cloud back to health, Leon had become familiar with the blond.

Sora and Leon were in the background to pick up the pieces. Currently, the ironically named male was laid out on the bed as Leon bandaged his chest. Cloud's breathing, once rapid and spasmodic, was finally beginning to even, much to Leon's relief. He didn't need to be up all night to check on Cloud. Leon settled himself into a chair next to the bed and drifted reluctantly into sleep.

When Leon awoke, Cloud was no where to be seen. Swearing loudly out of frustration, Leon rushed to the living room (knocking over a VERY expensive defense ring on the way). Sure enough, his guess was right as there Cloud was, leaning awkwardly against the wall for support.

" You stole my boots." Leon accused. Cloud shifted his weight with a small hiss. "I needed boots." Cloud then turned and stumbled out in his tattered clothes and too big boots.

"Hey! Cloud!" Cloud turned his head ever-so-slightly to aknowledge Leon. "You can come back anytime." Cloud looks Leon dead in the eye, swaying uneasily. "I might have to take you up on that " Having expressed his thought, Cloud promptly crashed to the ground.

"Dear God " Moaned Leon as he gently picked the blond up to carry him back to bed. "Might as well.."
