Chapter Ten

"What was the name of the place we're going again?"

Cloud sighed. That was the 5th time Kadaj had asked, and if he remembered correctly, yes, he had answered him each time, clearly. Why did Kadaj ask the question if he didn't care to listen to his answer?

"Costa Del Sol, how many times are you actually gonna ask?" Cloud mumbled, looking at Kadaj as the boy sat on Fenrir lazily. To have stayed in Junon for almost two weeks sort of proved how boring the place actually could be, something both of them had figured out now.

Rising his shoulders, Kadaj didn't bother to answer Cloud's question, but rather kept asking his own, once again.

"Costa Del… Sol? Is it sunny there or something?" Kadaj looked at Cloud, smirking slightly.

"Why yes, isn't that obvious by the name?" Cloud answered, rising an eyebrow.

"Well that's why I asked" Kadaj said with an irritated voice, shaking his head, "Just had to be sure" he then added, mumbling.

Cloud let out a small huff, shaking his head just like Kadaj had done seconds ago, before he leant forward, laying his arms around Kadaj's shoulders so he literally had all his weight hanging on Kadaj. Kadaj liked how Cloud had loosened up a bit though, seemed after two months that man finally seemed to trust him, which made Kadaj happy, made him smile even now.

"What are you smiling at?" Cloud mumbled against Kadaj's neck before he lifted his head a little so he could see Kadaj's face fully.

"You" Kadaj answered, grinning.

Cloud didn't care to answer, just shook his head as he stood up once again, glancing around. Taking a deep breath Cloud let it out again in a relieved sigh, closing his eyes for a mere second before opening them again.

"Thank God we're gonna leave here tomorrow" he mumbled, looking back at Kadaj who just looked up at the sky as he groaned.

"But… do we really have to get there over the sea?" he mumbled lowly.

"Well, yes, there is no other way" Cloud replied firmly, "we can't walk to Costa Del Sol from here, Kadaj"

Another groan escaped Kadaj as he leant further backwards; closing his eyes. It took a while before he spoke again.

"I don't trust the boat" he then said simply.

Cloud let out another huff as he raised an eyebrow again; not believing what he just heard Kadaj say.

"Don't trust the boat?" he then replied, "Kadaj, you're not scared or anything are you?"

It didn't even take a second before Kadaj rapidly shook his head, not stopping before he felt all dizzy from shaking his head back and forth.

"No! What make you think that?" he then burst out, glaring at Cloud.

Not replying Cloud just kept his eyebrow up, looking at Kadaj with a small smile almost forming on his lips. Scowling, Kadaj crossed his arms in front of his chest before he spoke again.

"I'm not scared! Let's go somewhere else" he mumbled at the end, standing up from the bike, lowering his arms to embrace his stomach in a tight hold seconds later as he began walking.

When Kadaj walked past people, it was almost cute to watch him. Each time some someone passed he tightened his hold around his stomach and gave that person a glare, as if the man or woman had done something terrible just by walking there.

Cloud found it cute, for some reason he couldn't answer himself, just walking behind Kadaj, giving anyone passing an excusing look for Kadaj's attitude. It took a while before he decided to walk closer to Kadaj, looking at the boy with curiosity as he spoke.

"Why do you do that?" he asked, seeing Kadaj scowl at a man passing by them, but the boy's look quickly changed as Cloud spoke, looking up as his face turned completely innocent.

"Do what?" he asked innocently, blinking a couple of times.

"You look at people as if they've hurt you or something" Cloud mumbled, looking forward as they walked.

"I don't" Kadaj pouted, this time scowling at Cloud, who shook his head once again.

"Yes you do, and you know you do it, so don't say against it" Cloud said firmly before asking again, "Why do you do it?"

Kadaj kept his pout for quite some time longer, even though it disappeared as another person passed by, causing the pout to turn to another scowl towards that person.

"You did it again" Cloud stated.

"Does it bother you?" Kadaj replied, keeping the scowl now as he looked back at Cloud.

"I'm just asking why" Cloud mumbled, rolling his eyes before looking at Kadaj again.

"I don't know why! I just do" Kadaj said, repeating "Does it bother you?" right after.

Cloud shook his head, reaching out a hand to stroke Kadaj's hair, hoping slightly that would make Kadaj calm down his sudden annoyance. And it did, sort of, too, Kadaj sighing as he looked away from Cloud again, mumbling.

"I just don't like that they get too close"

And suddenly, he was sad, that miserable look once again returning to Kadaj's face, making Cloud worry slightly, grabbing Kadaj's shoulder to make him stop walking.

"Why is that so bad?" he asked, turning Kadaj fully to look at him. Kadaj just gave him a look as if that was obvious, smiling slightly.

"People don't like me, you know, Nii-san…" he mumbled, looking into Cloud's eyes, Cloud shaking his head slowly.

"Have you been here before, Kadaj?" he asked, pretty sure about the answer, being right as Kadaj shook his head.

"…no" he mumbled lowly.

"Then they don't know who you are" Cloud explained calmly, "They have no reason not to like you"

Kadaj stared weirdly at Cloud, not truly sure what to say.

"But…" he began, but was suddenly stopped by Cloud's lips pressing against his own. Eyes widening at first, it took a second before Kadaj gave into it and laid his arms around Cloud's neck, kissing back.

They stood there for a while, until Cloud began leaning forwards, causing Kadaj to have to lean backwards, almost falling, and just then he realized what was behind himself. Eyes opening quickly as he almost screamed, suddenly clinging too Cloud, trying to get away from the water behind himself.

Rising an eyebrow as usual, Cloud looked down at the boy clinging to him. Kadaj almost shivered as he stared at the water.

"So you really are afraid of the sea" Cloud said, looking at Kadaj, who didn't answer, just clung closer to him.

Seems the boat ride tomorrow would be difficult for both of them.
