To be honest, this isn't my best work. But it was funny to write, and I like the ending!
DISCLAIMER: It's prescence speaks for itself.
To all those in the UK - Espically London - Happy Snow Days!
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Sora fell to his knees. "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLDS!!!!"
"Sora, chill! You just lost, that's all." Yuffie grinned, holding an ace in one hand.
"You must have cheated."
"I did not!" Yuffie shook her head, horrified by this suggestion. "Anyway, forget that! I won! So, your forfeit…"
"Nothing to do with the pixies, please." Sora muttered, silently cursing the stupid four of hearts he had in his hand.
"A-HA!" Yuffie yelled, causing Sora to leapt a few inches into the air. "Here it is: You have to hug Cloud."
"WHA?" Sora's eyes widened. Cloud was the most unhuggable person in the world.
Yuffie had tried hugging him once.
Leon was still trying to fix the hole in the wall that Cloud threw her through.
"We agreed, nothing that causes death-"
"I'm not dead!"
"Or serious bodily harm."
"Sora," Yuffie smiled and patted Sora's arm. "Being thrown through a wall is not actually as painful as it sounds."
"But he still wants to kill me because of the whole Leon pretending to be Sephiroth thing…"
"He can't still be angry about that, can he?"
"…" Sora gave Yuffie a long look. "I thought you knew Cloud better than I did."
"Look, Cloud won't throw you through a wall… Probably."
"Wow Yuffie. That was reassuring." Yuffie raised an eyebrow.
"Never heard you be sarcastic before."
"I don't like it." Sora whimpered. Yuffie just snickered.
"These were your rules Sora. So. Mission: Hug Cloud."
"And get murdered in the process."
Leon ran into the keyblade master.
Now Leon had seen Sora in some strange clothes before, but…
"Sora?" Leon paused, trying to find the right question. "Why are you wearing a hockey mask?" Sora grinned from inside the hockey mask.
"It's good isn't it?" Sora did a little twirl, making one of Leon's eyebrows shoot up past his hairline. "Yuffie found it for me."
"Again, why?"
"Because I don't want my head to get damaged when Cloud throws me through a wall." Sora shrugged. "After all, brain damage is very bad."
"……………………... Why is Cloud going to throw you through a wall?" Leon said, after his brain had properly processed this information.
"Because I'm going to hug him." Leon's other eyebrow shot up past his hairline.
"I didn't think you were the suicidal sort Sora."
"I lost a bet to Yuffie." Sora shrugged. "So I have to do a forfeit."
"… Right." Leon said. "Just… Try not to make as big a hole as Yuffie did."
Cloud leant against the wall in the marketplace, eyes shut trying to think.
About what? We do not know. Nor do we really care. Well, I know I don't.
"Cloud!" Cloud opened one eye, and gazed at the Keyblader. Complete with hockey mask. "How are you?"
"……" Cloud shut his eye, and wondered if by indeed wishing Sora away, he would vanish, suddenly out of his life.
"That's nice!" Sora took Cloud's silence as a silence of wellbeing, instead of a silence of loathing.
"…………What do you want?" Cloud said after a beat.
"Yuffie and I were playing cards!" Sora said. Cloud remained silent. "I lost."
"…………… What a pity." Cloud said again, wishing Sora away with all his might.
"So I had to do a forfeit."
"…………………………" Cloud remained silent.
"…. Yeah… HUGGING!!!!!" And with that, Sora pulled Cloud into a hug.
Cloud's face can only be described with three letters.
WTF?
Slightly terrified, Cloud reassured himself that Sora was mentally unstable, and this must be why he was hugging him.
… He hoped.
Wait a second.
Yuffie… Cards… Forfeits… Holy crap, this was heartless watch all over again.
"The forfeit of the card game," Cloud tried to remain dignified, despite the fact that he had a teenage boy latched to his self. "Was it to hug me?"
"…Eep."
"Tell me, or I'll throw you through that wall." Cloud pointed at a nearby wall.
"IT WAS ALL HER IDEA!!!!" Sora begged, for he had a phobia of being thrown through walls. Don't we all? Cloud grabbed Sora's arm and unclamped them from around his waist.
"Go hug Leon."
"Hmm…" Sora was silent. "That's an idea!" And with that, he ran off. Cloud stared after him.
"Yuffie, get out of the bush."
"Aw..." Yuffie leapt out from behind the bush, holding a video camera. "You are no fun at all."
"Yuffie, stop making people hug me. It's annoying." Cloud said sharply. Yuffie crossed her arms and considered this.
"I will stop, IF you give me a hug!" Yuffie grinned. Cloud shut his eyes and sighed. After a moment of consideration, he spread his arms.
Anything for a simple life.
"YAY!" Yuffie charged into Cloud and gave him a massive hug. Cloud struggled to breathe. Leon headed into the market place, and stopped at that precise moment.
"............................................................................................................................................................................................................." Said Leon.
"............................................................................................................................................................................................................." Said Cloud.
"........................................................ I'm going to leave you in peace." Leon said, before turning on his heels and marching out. Cloud made a noise similar to an angry snake.
Yuffie let go and smiled.
"Byyyyyyyee Cloud!" She grinned and ran off. Cloud sighed and leant back against the wall.
He frowned suddenly, and opened his eyes.
He checked his pockets.
"YUFFIE!!!! BRING BACK MY MATERIA NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
