Rewritten Oct 19.

Leon and Sora strolled down the street, Leon's arm draped casually over Sora's small shoulders. They had left as soon as if became apparent that Cloud and Riku had completely forgotten they were there. Not that either of them blamed the other two.

"So that's what Cloud's been hiding, huh?"

"Yeah."

"How long have you known about it?"

"I was the first person to know. He decided it a few days before the two of you got here." Leon snorted. "Think he could have been any more unromantic?"

"I don't know, I think it fit him and it made Riku cry so…" Sora shrugged. "I thought it was sweet."

"Well, you're right about it suiting him." The older one laughed.

They grew quiet again, comfortable. Sora could not believe everything had happened on this trip. "Everything's changing, isn't it?"

"It always does."

"I know that. It's just… weird. I mean, I know its all a part of growing up and everything but it's kinda freaking me out." He shook his head. "I mean, Riku's getting married. That possibility never, ever crossed my mind. And then there's you; I really wasn't expecting to start anything with you of all people."

"I think I'm insulted."

Sora smacked his arm. "You know what I mean."

"I do." Leon commented. "And even when you get older, it doesn't get easier. In some ways, it's harder. And as corny as it sounds, I'm glad you fell for me."

Sora pouted. "Oh, I see this is a one way relationship, huh?"

Leon stopped and brought Sora up against his chest. He stared down into those blue depths. "I care a great deal about you, Sora… More than I can put words to but..."

Sora nodded, understanding what he meant. He smiled softly. "I don't think I'm even remotely ready to hear that stuff from you anyway."

They were outside Aerith's house now. Not caring who saw, Leon bent down to kiss Sora deeply. It simply felt good to be here with Sora before him. Something that had been missing had returned and he felt himself slowly becoming complete again.

Sora was flushed when he pulled away, grinning shyly. "You're really good at that."

"I've heard I'm really good at other things, too."

"Hehe, yeah, well," Sora blushed heavily. "You are."

Leon glanced over at the house. "It's official."

Sora followed the look. Aerith and Cid stood on the porch. Aerith was beaming and Cid simply flicked some ash. "Bout fucking time. Now we wait for the next thing Spiky's gonna start fixating on."

"I'm so excited!" Aerith clapped her hands. "This is wonderful."

Cid rolled his eyes but there was a smile on his face. "We should make Cloud build his own house."

Leon laughed. "I completely agree."

"Well, I'm going to bed." Cid tossed his cigarette away. "You pretty boys should too. And actually sleep."

Cid disappeared. Aerith placed her hands behind her back. "You never know where you'll find love but it's always worth it."

Leon smirked. "You should make those inspirational posters, Aerith."

She giggled. "Night, boys."

They were alone again and with a nudge, Leon led the way to their house. They walked quietly along the dark street. "Two more days."

Sora snickered. "You sound like Riku did before we came."

Leon shrugged.

"So you're gonna miss me, huh?"

"Of course. You actually work without complaining."

"You're a jerk."

Leon half-grinned. At the top of the steps leading into the house, he took Sora's shoulder roughly. He pressed him to the door, running a hand along the smaller one's face and the boy shivered. "After you left the last time, that's when I realized I had started having feelings for you. The gummi disappeared from sight and this heavy sadness came. I silently counted down the days till you came back along with Cloud."

Sora bit his lip, completely stunned. There had been no indication of this. How could he possibly mean that much?

Leon released him to go inside. Going immediately to the kitchen for water, Leon called over his shoulder. "Think they'll be back tonight?"

"Don't know. They looked pretty, uh, happy there."

The older man snorted. "That's a good word for it. Riku won't be able to walk tomorrow; Cloud's going to have to carry him home."

"If he has the energy."

Leon pursed his lower lip in amusement. "I dare say you just made a sex joke, Sora."

He shrugged a little. "I guess I did, huh?"

Leon came to him, taking a drink of his water before setting it on the coffee table. He continued to stalk forward, giving Sora an intense look. Sora took one step back and hit the couch, falling back onto the cushions.

Leon was soon above him, knee between his legs and hands on either side of his head. He dropped down close, lips brushing the boy's nose. "Well now, let's see just how comfortable you are."

"I don't think I'm ever moving from this spot again." Riku barely managed to breathe out.

Cloud chuckled, also breathless. "If I'd known this would be the result, I would have given you a ring sooner."

Riku held up his left hand, watching the rays of light from the coming dawn glint off of silver. "Has it really been two years?"

"Doesn't seem that long, does it?"

"I remember when I was still smaller than you."

"You're still smaller than me." Cloud smirked.

"I'd hit you if I had the energy." Riku did turn his head to glare weakly. They both laughed and the silvered one dropped his hand. "Did anyone other than Leon know about this?"

"Aerith, you know I had to tell her. She's already trying to plan a full ceremony. I think Cid and Tifa figured it out, too."

Riku bit his lip. "What do you think of that?"

"Of what? A big ceremony?"

"Yeah."

Cloud shrugged. "I don't think it's necessary but I'm not against it. I know Aerith really wants us to have one."

"Sora's mom will want to also," Riku said slowly. "She's like my own mom and I love her like she is. She'd be really upset if we didn't do something."

"So you're saying you want to do a big gathering."

"Not big. Just our family and friends but it might be kinda nice."

"Fine."

"Fine?"

"We'll do it. Here or there I don't care." Cloud was watching the sun rise. "Once you're done with school, we'll have a wedding ceremony."

Riku carefully rolled over to half-lie on his blonde. He kissed him thoroughly, pouring as much love into it as he could. He then settled his head on his chest. "Thank you."

"I suppose you want your brother there." There was clear resignation in that voice.

"He is my family."

"Yeah, he is." Cloud agreed slowly.

Riku licked his lip. Suddenly he was feeling a bit more energetic. He slid up and began teasing Cloud's neck with his teeth. "You have no idea how much it would mean to me."

"Sure, I do." Cloud groaned as his earlobe was licked, followed by the line of his jaw being traced. Then that tongue languidly made its way down his chest, pausing to play with a nipple for a moment before continuing its decent down. "But I doubt he'd go."

"We should at least ask him," Riku murmured against his navel. He kept up his light tongue flicks, and slow sweeps all the way down until he reached hipbone and then he stopped. Cloud was a quivering mess by now. "Don't you think?"

"I guess." He grit out, half moaning it as Riku breathed over heated skin.

"So, if I ask," Cloud bucked up as moist air hit him again. "You'll be okay if he says yes?"

That damn tongue was teasing him again, not giving him what he really wanted. Riku knew exactly how to drive him crazy. "Damn it, Riku."

"What?"

Another flick. "Ugh! Yes!"

Riku grinned. "Good."

He then gave Cloud what he wanted.

They had moved from the couch to the bedroom after Sora's second orgasm for the day, Leon still refusing to let Sora try anything on him. They had fallen asleep wrapped in each other, Leon keeping the bulk of his body positioned slightly away.

Sora had woken up some time later to a very noticeable erection pressed to his leg. He bit his lip and decided it was time to assuage his curiosity. He awkwardly slipped his hand down Leon's pants and wrapped his fingers around the man's partially hardened length. He slowly began moving his hand along it, guessing at what he was supposed to be doing.

There was a low moan and he glanced up to met heavy-lidded grey eyes. Gaining a bit of confidence, he continued his actions, experimenting to see how Leon reacted. He tried to mimic what Leon had done to him before and from what he could tell was doing a fairly good job of it.

Another five minutes or so and Leon had his head thrown back. Sora increased his pace and there was a twitch in his hand. Leon let out a soft groan as he finally found his release, several jets of sticky, white fluid soiling Sora's hand.

Sora grinned a little, feeling a joy he had never before experienced. "Was that okay?"

Leon smirked at the silly question, quickly recovering. "It was great."

Sora was not sure he believed him but now wasn't the time to question him too much. It could not have been too bad if the content look on Leon's face meant anything.

"I could really get use to waking up to this every morning." Leon sighed.

"It could happen."

Leon studied Sora for a long moment. "Possibly."

Sora frowned, picking at the bed cover. "Two more days, huh?"

"Yeah." Leon sat up and turned Sora's face to him. "We make full use of the time we have and when you come back, if you're ready, we'll try having some real fun."

Sora grinned. For the first time that thought did not scare him.

Forty-eight hours passed like they were nothing. Both couples were clearly preoccupied with other things and virtually no work got done, not that anyone complained. News of Cloud and Riku had spread rapidly and by the end of the first day, they had been congratulated at least a hundred times and several women had offered their services for any wedding ceremony they decided to do.

Leon and Sora were rather thankful that those two had taken most of the attention. While there had been many looks, their new closeness went relatively unnoticed. Of course, there was no getting away from Yuffie but they somehow managed to deal.

When the time to leave finally came, the four of them met up in the gummi garage. There were no tears this time, each of them knowing that this separation would not be for long.

"Sora finishes a week after graduation," Riku explained again, Cloud wrapped in both of his arms. "That's probably the best time for us to get everyone here for the wedding."

"Or we'll come there." Cloud corrected. "We can get married wherever you want."

Riku nibbled at his earlobe.

Leon and Sora stood close together, Leon's arm around the smaller one's waist. He made a noise from the back of his throat. "If you two think you can fuck in under five minutes, go for it."

Riku snorted and Cloud gave Leon a dirty look. "Don't you have your own boyfriend now?"

"Maybe and I can fuck in under five but I don't like putting on a show."

Sora snickered.

"No, but Sora does." Riku grinned wickedly. "I totally heard you last night. Couldn't sleep because of that racket"

"Payback's a bitch." The younger teen retorted easily.

"All right." Leon interceded before Riku could say anything else. "Time for you guys to get out of here."

Riku and Cloud immediately started going at it. Leon and Sora rolled their eyes at each other. Leon pulled him closer and tugged on a long spike of brown hair framing his face. "Call whenever you want."

Sora nodded, closing his eyes and stretching up to met Leon in a kiss. He drew away reluctantly, glancing shyly in the direction of the man's shoulder. "I'll miss you."

"Same here, kid." He saw that Cloud and Riku were done and Riku was heading for the ship. "See you soon."

"Yeah."
