Hee-hee! This chapter makes me giddy.
Rewritten Oct. 15
The next few days passed in a blur. Sora spent a majority of his time with Leon and while they never did anything to physically reveal that they were unofficially together now, everyone seemed to know. Leon was obviously more relaxed then most figured he had ever been and talked a lot more. Sora was completely back to his usual self.
Yuffie teased them mercilessly. Whenever she was around them, she made as many sexual innuendos as she could. Sora could not help but think the girl was a bit jealous. She had glommed onto Leon almost the moment she met him.
Sora could not believe how good he felt these past few days. Everything was just different and he really couldn't explain how. He still felt bad sometimes when he caught Leon looking at him that way but the man was completely true to his word and never tried to start more than Sora could handle.
They made out a lot, Cid going so far as to hint they were worse than Cloud and Riku when he caught them for the third time in one day. The second Sora seemed even remotely uncomfortable, Leon backed off. Sora knew this had to be difficult for him and his heart swelled even more for the man.
Every night, he fell asleep and woke up in strong, tanned arms. For the first time in a long time, he truly felt like he belonged somewhere. This was home.
It was not until the fourth day that he really began focusing again on things around him. A peculiar discord had developed between Riku and Cloud. They were not fighting but it was clear something was getting between them. Cloud seemed to be waiting for something and Riku was pretending he did not notice.
Sora sat on a section of broken wall with his legs swinging a little, watching Riku explain to a few workers what they had to do next. He helped as much as he could but right now there was nothing. He waited until the men left and Riku came over.
"Think they got it this time?"
"I hope so." Riku rubbed at his forehead. "I really didn't think it was that difficult to understand."
Sora shrugged.
"By the way," Riku folded his arms. "Did Leon say where he and Cloud were going?"
"Nope. Only that they had something to take care of."
"Yeah, that's what Cloud said." Riku frowned. "He's been hiding something from me this entire trip."
Oh, so that was what the problem was. "Any ideas?"
"Nope. He's been getting odd phone calls and disappearing randomly but other than that, he's been totally normal." Riku shrugged. "It's starting to worry me."
Sora was not sure what to say.
Thankfully, Riku changed the subject. "Any more progress with Leon in the sack?"
Sora blushed lightly. "Geeze, Riku."
"Well?"
The brunette sighed. Riku would not let this drop until he gave some kind of answer and as embarrassed as he was, he knew his best friend really only wanted to help. "A little."
"Yeah?" Riku grinned. "Like what?"
"Well, uh, last night… he, that is I…"
"Oh, for fuck's sake, Sora spit it out!"
"I let him touch me." Sora rushed out. "Like, you know…"
Riku's eyes widened and he smirked. "Oh, very good, Sora. And did you like it?"
Sora flushed. Yeah, he liked it. "That's a stupid question."
Riku laughed. "I guess it is. The better would be were you uncomfortable?"
"At first, yeah. I really didn't want him to but, I did. I wanted to feel his hands on me." Sora studied the crumbling concrete beside him. "It's just weird, you know? But when he did it, I just felt so… I wanted him to feel that too but he wouldn't let me."
Riku nodded. "I don't think he wanted to risk going too far. Things get to a point where it's really difficult to stop."
"Oh."
"But this is great, Sora. You're getting comfortable with sex stuff." Riku encouraged. "Don't push it though, just let things happen as they will."
Sora bit his lip, glancing at Riku. "I really want to touch him."
"Tell him that." Riku smirked. "Trust me; it's a real turn on."
"What is?" Cloud stepped up beside Riku.
"Nothing." Riku replied. Cloud rested his head on his lover's shoulder. "You and Leon finish doing whatever you needed?"
"Yeah," Cloud said slowly. His jaw tensed a bit. "It was easier than I expected but still hard as hell."
Riku frowned but said nothing.
"The four of us are going out after dinner."
"We are?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, so make sure you're cleaned up." Cloud took Riku's hand and led him away.
Sora sat there for a moment, head tilted trying to figure out what that had been about. He gave up quickly, however, and decided to go home. If Cloud said to clean up, then they had to be doing something important after dinner. Otherwise, he would not have cared either way.
He walked in the front door, intent on a shower. He entered the bedroom and there stood Leon in his jeans and nothing else. Wet hair dripped down, water running in little rivulets down his chest. The jeans rested low on his hips and his bare feet stuck out from folds of denim.
On pure impulse, Sora stepped up to him and ran a hand across that bare chest. Leon shivered a trace and steel-colored eyes locked on to sky blue. Next thing Sora knew, he was flat on his back on the bed and Leon was on top of him.
The older man alternated kissing, licking and biting Sora's mouth, jaw, ears and neck. He gasped as a large hand worked its way up under his shirt to pinch a nipple. He was lifted up just enough to remove his shirt and that tongue and mouth of Leon's was devouring his chest.
Sora became lost in a haze of sensation, barely realizing that the waistline of his baggy pants was being teased. When they became unbuttoned, something in his stomach tightened but not in fear. As they were pulled from his body, that feeling increased and he felt himself begin to harden..
He was still scared but the need to be touched was steadily overcoming that. Leon's eyes flicked upward, clouded with lust, just as his long fingers traced down to where they wanted to be. Sora arched up a bit and groaned as fingertips trailed along his inner thigh, bringing his erection to full hardness. This was just incredible.
He managed to look at Leon, who suddenly smirked at him with clear intent. Sora felt his fear rise, uncertain where this was going. He wanted this but was not sure what this was. He just knew he needed to go higher.
Leon's hand pulled away and he whimpered at the loss. Something had been building within him and it now stopped, leaving him feeling unfulfilled. He was almost tempted to touch himself.
Then fingers wrapped around his length and his breath hitched sharply. Oh, gods he never imagined this. Leon's free hand now held him in place as his body tried writhing itself off the bed.
That coil of something contracted further as that sense of euphoria rose higher and then suddenly everything burst. He cried out, not caring if he sounded like an idiot. He had no idea it was like this. Now he got why Riku was so loud.
Leon half sat beside him, reaching over to get some tissue from the nightstand. He watched as Sora came down, the panting disappearing. He reached out and brushed a few dampened spikes from the boy's forehead.
Sora grabbed on to that hand and held it to his chest. "My heart is racing."
"I noticed."
"Wow." Sora breathed. "That was…"
"It's something all right." Leon smiled a little, wiping the bit of cum from his hand. "Better go shower. Dinner will be soon."
Sora propped himself up on his elbows. "Uh, you don't want…"
Leon leaned forward and kissed him. "I'm fine. Go clean up."
Once showered, Sora and Leon made their way to Aerith's. Sora had his hands behind his head and there was a noticeable bounce in his step. Riku was outside with Cid discussing something of another. He glanced over and a huge smirk crossed his face.
He nudged Cid who also looked over and snorted. "Good going, Leonhart. Now the kid's going to be more obnoxiously happy than he was."
Leon shrugged.
Riku was practically beside himself. "I told you. Way better than anything you can do with your hand."
Sora grinned shyly. "Yeah."
Cid rolled his eyes. "I swear I'm getting the fuck away from you people."
"Oh, you love us." Riku countered.
Cloud stuck his head out. He took one look at Sora and smirked at Leon. "So when do you get yours?"
Leon shrugged again
"Hmm." Cloud glanced at Riku. He smiled nervously with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Come on, dinner's done."
Riku raised an eyebrow but followed him in. Cid was next. Sora glanced at Leon. "Cloud's planning something, isn't he?"
Leon threw an arm around his shoulders. He did not answer, just steered the teen inside.
Dinner could not pass fast enough. Sora fought not to squirm in his chair as he waited for the others to finish. He had nearly wolfed down his food while everyone else went at their normal pace. Everyone but Cloud that is, who was picking at his dinner. Riku was occasionally observing him, clearly getting worried.
Once Cloud had eaten a sufficient amount for Aerith, she dismissed everyone. It was Cid and Yuffie's turn to clean up and once they were in the kitchen, Aerith shooed the two couples toward the door. She gave Cloud a quick kiss on the cheek before shoving them all out.
They walked quietly down the road in a group, Cloud taking the lead. He obviously had a destination in mind. Riku threw a look over his shoulder at Leon and Sora. Sora shrugged but Leon did not react. After twenty minutes, they were near the falls at the castle.
Cloud lead them up and over the entry to Riku's hidden clearing of waterfalls and crystallized formations. Leon whistled lowly, taking a quick survey of the area. "This is incredible."
Riku was now staring at Cloud. Why in the worlds were they all here? It was their spot. Why had he brought Leon and Sora here? Cloud never seemed the group orgy type so this was really strange.
"Alright, Cloud. Let's get this show rolling." Leon leaned against one of the taller pillars. He pulled Sora over to him and wrapped his arms around the boy's waist from behind. "Some of us have other things to do."
The blonde glared weakly at his best friend. Then he bit at his lower lip and turned to Riku. Riku looked confused as all hell.
Cloud fidgeted a moment, toying with one of his black straps. He took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Look, I'm no good with words so I'm just gonna…"
He reached in his pocket and took out a small black box. He held it out for Riku to take. "Here."
Riku took it uncertainly, eyes locked on Cloud. He flipped it open before glancing down. He stared at the contents for an impossible length of time, his expression unreadable. "Is… is this what I think it is?"
Cloud's next set of words were strong and flowed easily. "I love you, Riku, and I don't want us to be apart anymore. I want us to be together, even beyond death. You're my heart, soul, and light."
"You're asking me to…" Riku drew out slowly.
"I've already committed myself to you." Cloud explained. "Now I want the worlds to know."
Riku blinked once and tears simply came pouring out. It was clear he wanted to say something but had no words. Finally he gave up and threw his arms around Cloud.
That was when Sora finally saw what was in the box. A flash of silver glinted in the fading light off of a simple ring. While it surprised him a little, he knew that this was the only logical next step for the couple.
He could not have been happier for his best friend.
