A/N: Here's the next chapter! I won't go on and on here because, well, I really only have a few minutes. I just wanted to say that this chapter hasn't really been edited much. For that, I'm sorry. I figured you might want to read an unedited update a month and a half after the last update rather than an edited version which may take a few more weeks to do.

As I said before, I'm working towards something that will give me more time to write, but doing it will take time. Thanks to everyone who's stuck with me this long. *much love, from the bottom of my heart* I promise this story will get a proper ending and I even have a sequel in mind. When I am able to write again (more than once every few weeks) that will be coming out.

As always, I hope you enjoy! For those of you who are wondering, I am estimating about four chapters left before Salacity is complete (not including this one). This is just an estimate and can change depending on how much detail I write for the rest of the plot. I'll keep you posted!

-o-o-o-

The nightstand alarm startled Cloud out of his dreamy gaze into Leon's eyes and he couldn't help but notice the small twitch of Leon's lips when his body relaxed from the slight shock. He felt Leon's hand brush back his bangs from his eyes before they idly traveled over his shoulders to his bear back where they began lightly stroking his smooth skin. Cloud let out a low, appreciative moan and settled further into Leon's arms, eyes slowly making their way back to Leon's with just as much adore as before the alarm went off.

Without breaking eye contact, Leon reached over and turned the alarm off before his arm encircled the blond and gently pulled him closer to his own body. At this gesture, Cloud's lips formed a soft smile and his eyes fluttered faintly before falling shut once more.

"Don't fall back asleep, sleepy head." Leon whispered before placing a kiss against Cloud's forehead. "We have to get up in a couple of minutes and get ready for school."

Cloud hummed in acknowledgement and shifted closer still to Leon's body. Leon's hand continued to stoke Cloud's back softly, Cloud's body melting further with every stroke.

There was a few moments of silence between them as both soaked up as much of this feeling as possible before they had to get up and face the day. Both would have been more than happy to take the day off and spend it together in bed, but high school didn't always work that way. Cloud didn't really feel the need to continue going to school but he knew Leon would, and he wanted to see his friends as much as possible before he was forced to move. That thought caused his heart to ache in his chest before Leon spoke.

"How are you feeling?"

Cloud's lips formed a soft smile and he sighed contentedly. "Amazing…"

"You may be singing a different tune once you attempt to sit up." Leon said light-heartedly, pinching Cloud's shoulder gently.

Cloud's smile widened and he took a deep breath. "No, it'll be a nice reminder of what happened last night." His eyes fluttered open and gazed lovingly into Leon's. "It was amazing."

Leon's eyes softened as he sighed lightly to himself. "It was." He reluctantly looked back at the alarm clock and nibbled on his lower lip. "I think we need to start getting ready for school, though."

Cloud pouted playfully and buried his head within Leon's chest, mumbling something incoherent causing the brunet's lips to do that twitchy thing again. They stayed that way for another couple of minutes before Cloud let out a deep sigh and attempted to sit up in bed, hissing slightly as a sharp pain ran from his backside up his spine.

"Told you so…" was all Leon had to offer, sitting up and offered Cloud support by way of rubbing the blond's firm biceps.

Cloud closed one of his eyes and arched his other brow, playfully glaring at his lover. "Ouch…"

Leon huffed and looked as though he was about to smile but caught himself before it broke the surface. Cloud's other eye opened and a sweet smile played across his lips. "Did… did I almost witness a smile from the Ice Prince?"

Leon rolled his eyes with a sigh before shaking his head. "No, I don't believe that you did."

"Are you sure?" Cloud asked, tilting his head and pulling off 'cute' expertly. "Because I swear I almost saw a smile grace that gorgeous face of yours."

Leon stilled his hands on Cloud's arms and pinched one lightly causing the blond to flinch before pursing his lips. "Hmm… you seem awake. Odd that you might have thought you saw something so absurd…"

Cloud chuckled and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands. "No, no… I'm definitely awake and I definitely-"

"Think you saw me almost smile?" Leon tilted his head and closed on eye sceptically. "That seems rather far fetched."

"You're just being difficult now." Cloud giggled, poking the brunet's side with a finger causing the brunet to jerk away. "Admit it. Be a man and admit that you almost smiled."

"There's nothing to admit." Leon said in playful disbelief. "Nothing almost happened."

Cloud scrunched his nose as an evil smile spread across his lips. "Liar." he accused, pulling himself up on his hands and knees and leaned in close to Leon's face. It took all of Leon's will power not to look down as the bed sheets cascaded down Cloud's thighs and formed a soft pile under the blond's naked form.

"Now you're accusing me of being a liar?" Leon asked, trying to distract himself from the tempting sight in front of him. Cloud crawled slowly closer to his naked lover with that evil smile still playing on his lips. "Geez, one night of bliss and I unleash a- What are you doing?"

Cloud's lips breathed hot breath against Leon's, keeping their lips millimetres apart as his body hovered over Leon's. Nothing to hide behind, their bodies reacting out in the open for the other to see. Had Leon allowed himself to look down, he would have seen.

"I'm trying to draw out a confession." Cloud purred, lips barely brushing against Leon's. "Did or didn't you almost smile just now?" He moved his body so he was completely hovering over Leon's and lowered himself slightly, only enough so the brunet could feel the body heat emitting from his own.

Leon huffed and focused his eyes on Cloud's, enjoying this interrogation. "I told you I think you're seeing things-" He was interrupted by a low moan erupting from his own throat as Cloud lowered himself so he was straddling the brunet's hips. Each now knew without looking that they both were hard. "Gods…"

"Is that what you really think?" Cloud asked, slowly running his tongue across Leon's lips, which immediately let out another short moan in response.

"I…" Leon panted, eyes trained on blue. "I… think so…"

Cloud rocked his hips slightly causing a groan this time to escape from the brunet's lips. He dipped his tongue into the brunet's mouth to taste the sound before barely pulling back. "You… think… so…?" he asked, continuing the rocking motion on the brunet's lap.

"Yes…" the brunet hissed, allowing his eyes to flutter shut. His head lulled back as pleasure rippled through his body at the pace Cloud was setting.

"Hmm…" Cloud pursed his lips before smiling. "That's a real shame…" He hoped off of Leon's lap and climbed out of bed, trying his hardest not to wince at the pain from the night before. "That could have been a lot of fun…"

Leon's eyes snapped open as he watched the blond make his way over to their dresser and pull out a fresh pair of boxers. "You've got to be kidding me…"

Cloud looked over his shoulder at his obviously aroused boyfriend and feigned a nonchalant stare. "Nope." His eyes lowered to Leon's obvious distress. "Looks painful…"

"You're cruel." Leon said, finally allowing himself to look down at Cloud's erection. It sent shivers down his spine directly to his own arousal.

"I thought I saw you almost smile." Cloud said, pretending to focus on his boxers. "I guess I was wrong…"

Leon bit his lower lip, propping himself up on his elbows. "What if I said you weren't… wrong…"

Cloud's eyes flicked to his lover then refocused on the boxers in his hand. "You seemed pretty sure." In all honesty, Cloud was rather enjoying teasing his lover.

"Perhaps I'm a liar." Leon admitted, climbing out of bed and making his way to the cute little blond by the dresser. "How does that sound?"

Cloud couldn't fight off his smile as Leon's arms circled around his body. He wrapped his arms around Leon and pulled himself close. His body trembled slightly as Leon's hardened flesh pressed up against his own once again. "So you might have almost smiled?"

Leon squeezed the blond tightly and kissed the top of his head. "Let's think this one through." He moved his body causing their arousals to move against one another, drawing a moan from the blond. "You think you might have seen me almost smile, but I denied it, right?"

Cloud's jaw hung slightly as Leon's flesh thrust against his own. "Uhh huh…" he mumbled absentmindedly.

"But I maintain that you were seeing things, in which you retaliated that I am a… liar, was it?"

Leon supported Cloud's body with his own and let out a quiet moan as the friction between their erections increased.

"What?" Cloud asked, his mind not able to follow Leon's logic as it filled with heat.

"You called me a liar before you straddled me, did you not?" Leon asked, running his hand own Cloud's back before rubbing the blond's firm ass. "At least that's what I recall."

"Yeah, I did…" Cloud said in a huff. He couldn't help but begin to thrust lightly into Leon's hips, legs going shaky as he felt the brunet reciprocate the thrusts.

"And as I continued to deny this apparent almost-smile…" he interrupted himself with a groan as the thrusting between them became more prominent. "Gods, Cloud… you feel so good…"

"L-Leon…" Cloud panted as Leon's fingers teased his entrance.

"I… uh…" Leon panted, fingers lightly stroking Cloud. "Damn…" He huffed before taking a deep breath. "I denied it and you… what? What did you do?"

"I got up…" Cloud answered from somewhere far away. "I left you in bed…" His body shuddered at Leon's ministrations.

"That's right." Leon withdrew his hand and took a step back from the dazed blond.

Cloud's eyes went wide as he tried to process the now cold air attacking his body. "What are you doing? Come here!"

Leon huffed and Cloud swore he almost saw him smile again. The brunet took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. "Oh, how the tables have turned. And I didn't almost smile." With that, he winked at the blond and turned to take a very, very cold shower.

-.-.-.-

Cloud was still shivering when he joined Leon in the kitchen after his own cold shower. He had half a mind to take care of himself, but since he was sure Leon didn't, he decided against it. He hated cold showers and it helped get rid of his erection only a little.

When he entered the kitchen, Leon was cooking them breakfast and Zell was sitting at the table, sipping on his coffee and reading a newspaper. When the blond entered, Zell looked up from the article he was reading and offered a sincere smile.

"Good morning."

"'Morning," Cloud reciprocated with a faint smile and took a seat across from the other blond.

"How'd you sleep in your new room?" Zell asked, placing his paper on the table and stealing another gulp from his mug.

Cloud watched the older boy carefully, looking for a hint of teasing and was surprised that he didn't see anything amiss within those eyes. "Good…" he answered, watching for a reaction that never came. The coffee, though, it looked nice and hot. He could use one of those after being bombarded by freezing cold water.

As though Leon anticipated this, he placed a steaming mug of coffee in front of Cloud and kissed the top of his head before retreating back to the counter to tend to breakfast again. Cloud wrapped his hands around the hot mug and sighed to himself as the heat made its way from his hands to the rest of his body.

"Glad to hear it." Zell responded to Cloud's answer before quickly glancing at the brunet then picking up his paper.

Cloud's eyes surveyed Zell for a few more moments in silence before fleeting over to his boyfriend, who was portioning the food on two plates. Maybe he really didn't hear much?

"I mean," Zell began and Cloud mentally braced himself. "I really didn't think you slept all that well so I'm glad you got adequate sleep." His eyes flickered up to Cloud as a knowing smile crept across his lips. "It sounded like-"

"Your breakfast, babe." Leon interrupted, placing a plate down in front of Cloud and taking a seat between the two blonds. "What time are you leaving?" he asked, turning to Zell.

Zell's smile widened as he placed the paper down again, drawing a long sip from his coffee. "In about twenty minutes." he answered, his expression changing to one of complete innocence. "I didn't get much sleep last night so I've decided to skip first class." He glanced back at Cloud with a wink, causing the younger blond to flush with embarrassment. Zell decided to enjoy the reaction he received rather than put Cloud out of his misery, so he sat there watching as Cloud manoeuvred uncomfortably in his chair before focusing really hard on taking that first sip of his coffee.

After Cloud swallowed his coffee, he shifted in his seat once more and tried to look composed. "I'm... I-I'm sorry…"

Zell chuckled and Leon rolled his eyes. The brunet shook his head before giving Zell a swift kick in the shin under the table. "Don't apologize to him, Cloud."

"Yeah, Cloud," Zell piped up, his smile returning and his eyes telling the world that he was thoroughly enjoying this. "No need to apologize. It wasn't your fault that Leon ravaged you so completely."

Cloud turned a few shades darker of red and let his eyes close softly, searching for that happy place that would protect him from the outside world.

"Zell…" Leon muttered. "For Shiva's sake, leave Cloud alone." The brunet turned to his boyfriend and softly shook him from whatever escape he managed to find within his own head. "Ignore him, 'kay? Eat your breakfast."

Cloud opened his eyes and looked into Leon's before they shifted back to Zell's. "I wasn't apologizing for being loud last night, and I know that wasn't my fault," he grinned at Leon before shaking his head sympathetically at Zell. "I was sorry that you didn't get any last night as well… or, well, how long has it been for you?"

Zell's jaw dropped to the table and a short chuckle escaped his lips. "Cloud! Ouch!" He laughed and pounded his fist on the table. "Damn, kid, you're spicy! I love it!" He chuckled once again and got up from his chair, shaking his head before rustling Leon's hair. "Hang on to this one, ya?"

"Hit too close to home?" Leon asked, batting Zell's hand away from his head. "Gotta get away before he points out another painful fact in your poor, lonely existence?"

Zell raised his eyebrows and an evil smile formed across his lips once more. "You wouldn't know, Leon. When I get laid I do it at their house or I keep my voice down so I don't disturb you." He glanced over to the other blond and winked happily. "Just… saying… some of us have control over our voices during sex."

"Some of us aren't getting laid as good as others, then." Cloud fired back, his lips forming a quirky grin. "Really, it's all about finding a selfless, passionate partner. I would assume your partners aren't screaming out your name either, ya?"

"Geez, Cloud." Zell laughed. "Keep the gloves up, kid!"

"Just… saying, y'know?" Cloud said, winking at the other blond with a self-satisfied smile.

"I'm ejecting myself out of this conversation." Zell chuckled. "Wow, Blondie…"

"Don't start something you can't finish." Leon said, raising an eyebrow at the older blond. "He's only teasing you, Zell."

"I'm only teasing you, Zell." Cloud repeated, tilting his head innocently. "No hard feelings?" His innocent expression dropped replaced with an evil smile.

"He just got beaten at his own game." Leon explained, shaking his head sympathetically. "He just needs to go recompose. It's sad to watch, really."

"Okay, I'm out!" Zell said, swiping his paper off the table and trekking towards the kitchen door. "Have a good day at school, kiddies."

Cloud's smile turned triumphant as he turned to face Leon. Leon's expression was hard to interpret but Cloud knew he would have been smiling if he could.

"Nice work, babe." Leon said, taking a bite of his breakfast. "It's nice to have someone on my side for once. It's usually Zell and Irvine versus yours truly."

Cloud felt proud for an unknown reason and he couldn't help but smile at the exchange that just took place. He watched Leon chew his food before swallowing when blue-gray eyes lifted to meet his. All of a sudden he didn't feel as confident under that stare and he looked down at his food, smile fading slightly as he took a bite that disguised his abrupt lapse of confidence. He couldn't help but notice as Leon's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched him eat but Cloud kept his eyes down.

"What are you thinking?" Leon asked, placing his fork down on his plate, studying Cloud's new expression.

Cloud forced a smile and tilted his head, attempting to come off as relaxed. "I do actually feel bad about being… like, so… loud."

Leon's lips twitched slightly and it took even more control to contain his smile when Cloud's smile widened at the sight. The brunet shook his head. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

"You almost smi-"

"No, I didn't." Leon interrupted. "Now finish your breakfast. We have to get ready for school."

-.-.-.-

Zell closed his door as quietly as he could behind himself. He took a moment and leaned back on the door as his eyes roamed around his room before he allowed them to close. A small smile crept up and he took a deep breath as his mind went over and over what he needed to do. It didn't really feel like he needed to do it, per se, but it was definitely something he wanted to do.

His eyes opened and he slowly made his way over to his bed and took a seat on the very edge. He stretched out his legs and relaxed his hands on his lap as he looked over at his desk. Normally he kept his room somewhat tidy but papers were thrown all over his desk right now, something he told himself that wasn't necessary to clean up at the moment until he figured everything out.

As though he were restless, Zell pulled himself up off of his bed and wandered towards his desk and looked down at a couple of papers that managed to keep on top of the pile. He flipped a couple of pieces over before dropping them haphazardly back down with the others.

He thought some more for a few moments before bending down and pulling out the phone book. He flipped through the pages before finding the number he was looking for and pulled out his cell phone. He punched in the number and hesitated before pushing the 'call' button. He was doing the right thing.

When the line picked up on the other end he took a deep breath before taking a seat at his desk.

-.-.-.-

Leon and Cloud walked side by side, hand in hand, to school and the blond couldn't help but notice what a perfect day it was. The sun was shining, the clouds were fluffy, and a cool breeze kept Leon's scent right with him the entire way. He looked up at the sky, not noticing that he was smiling as the rays made his eyes twinkle in the happiest way.

Leon noticed Cloud's mood and it made his chest throb. It was difficult to pin, but something within the blond had changed. Changed from what, he didn't know, but somehow the blond looked genuinely happy. His smile came easier, his eyes appeared bluer and they twinkled as if they were the cause of the bright blue sky. He seemed perfectly at bliss.

Leon pursed his lips as his eyes roamed over his boyfriend before he licked his lips. "I'll try not to ask this too much today, but how are you feeling?"

"Perfect." Cloud answered automatically, eyes not leaving the sky above.

Leon's eyes narrowed as they took in the angelic sight beside him. He squeezed Cloud's hand, which was immediately returned, before reiterating his question. "I mean, how are you… like, does it hurt as much? How are you feeling?"

Cloud's eyes slid from the sky to blue-gray and his smile widened. "It makes me think about last night. I like it."

Leon's eyes softened and both seemed to have the same idea as they both moved closer and leaned towards the other for a kiss. Their pace slowed to allow for a steadier kiss and before they knew it, they had stopped walking all together. Cloud's hand was still in Leon's and the brunet led the blond to turn around to face him, his other hand wrapping around Cloud's waist to pull him closer.

Cloud moaned as he submitted to Leon's tongue and opened his mouth for the building passion that was being created between them. Cloud leaned up to better match their height and pulled Leon's head closer with his free hand while pushing his body tight against the brunet's.

They stayed that way for a few moments until a passing car distracted them. Cloud's eyes followed the car as it drove by and the brunet's stayed on the blond. When Cloud's eyes lifted to meet Leon's, the brunet began walking again, leading the blond down the road.

They walked the remainder of the way to school in silence, both reflecting on their inner thoughts about where they were at the moment and what had happened between them. Both felt as though the night before changed something between them, within them, but neither could place exactly what that was.

For Cloud, something clicked into place. For as long as he could remember, he fought to win the love of those around him who he thought should love him. It always made his chest tighten in almost embarrassment that that one person in his life, the only one that should love him, was his mother. After trying so hard, his defence system took over and made him almost jaded towards the fact that he would never be loved by her like he yearned for. When a romantic relationship, physical if not emotional, sprung up between him and Tony, Cloud tried to be the person he thought Tony wanted him to be. That blew up in his face awfully quick and once again he was left only with his defence system to protect him from the pain he felt when realization hit him that there was really no one in this world that loved him the way he needed to be loved.

Cloud needed to be loved. It was ingrained in his being that he needed someone to want him to feel complete. Last night, even though the words were never spoken, Cloud knew that Leon felt those things Cloud needed from him. The way the brunet clung onto him relieved a long-time ache he held in his chest for far too long. He got want he wanted: Leon; and what he needed: Leon.

For Leon, last night abolished any doubt in his mind that he couldn't trust Cloud. Cloud was so damn easy to read, and what made things better, Cloud didn't seem to have the need to hide anything from him. But the thing that changed the most for him was the realization that something he needed was fulfilled. Leon needed to be needed, and Cloud needed him. Cloud didn't need him for a place to stay nor did he need him to look after him. Cloud needed him because he loved him. Cloud needed him because that's what his very soul was telling him. Leon never realized how much being needed was needed by him and last night proved that he needed Cloud as much as Cloud needed him.

This new revelation opened up a whole new world to Leon that he was just beginning to understand. What he believed in before didn't quite make sense anymore. He couldn't label or explain what he felt last night when he was with Cloud and that feeling persisted even now, as they walked to school. Cloud's smile, his eyes, the feeling of his hand in his own, the feelings they created between them the night before, they all sent a message to his heart telling him something. That feeling might as well have been in a different language, though, as Leon was barely able to wrap his head around the intensity of it all. It almost frustrated him that he couldn't understand. He was still missing something.

Both boys were brought out of their deep pondering by Xander's voice coming from across the school yard. He was waving with a big smile with Brad, Brantley, and Eric at his flank.

"Heeey-yaaa!"

Cloud had no control over the over-happy smile that exploded at the sound of Xander's cheerful voice. He chuckled lightly to himself before meeting Xander's eyes. "Hey yourself."

"Don't we look chipper this morning." Xander replied, slowing his eager pace once he got close enough to the couple. "Having a good morning?"

"Or had a great night." Brantley threw in, earning a laugh from every boy there except for Leon, or course.

"Omigawd! Are you serious?!" Xander exclaimed, his eyes dancing back and forth between Leon and Cloud before settling on Cloud. It seemed like the safer bet. "Did you two do the deed last night??"

"Where is this coming from?" Cloud protested, taking a step back away from the small group and semi-hid behind Leon, who was watching the conversation nonchalantly.

"Well, let's see…" Brantley started, rubbing his chin as if deep in thought. "You two do look awfully close this morning; more than usual, I should say. Cloud's grinning like an idiot right now," Brantley listed, pointing to the, sure enough, grinning blond. "You both look very at ease and relaxed, a suggestion of a… good night. Cloud's still grinning like an idiot, and, let's face it, Blondie, it's not overly hard to know what you're thinking. You wear your heart on your sleeve."

Leon shifted his stance to stand more comfortably and sighed silently to himself. Cloud's smile widened and he felt incredibly stupid for being so transparent. He felt like a chick. Finally, he cleared his throat and came out from his semi-hiding place and offered Xander a sweet smile. "Call Irvine yet?"

Xander seemed confused by the question at first before recomposing. "You mean… I- For what?"

"You guys are prying on about my love life. I'm just asking about yours." Cloud clarified, his smile remaining steady on his face. "We did see a love connection yesterday, did we not?"

Xander flushed as his eyes fell to the ground. He tried to hide a small smile but failed as his lips twitched a couple of times.

"Heh, maybe you guys can double date." Brantley offered, attempting to be helpful. Ha… "You, Irvine, and these two. That'll be fun, won't it?" he asked playfully, fully enjoying the discomfort Xander was feeling now.

"We're not dating yet…" Xander offered defensively before realizing what he'd just said. "I mean, we're not-"

"Yet," Eric inserted with a smile. "But you two did look like you liked one another."

Cloud smiled as the focus was effectively taken off of him and Leon. He looked up at the brunet with a smile as the boys continued to tease Xander and winked. Leon's lips pursed and he squeezed Cloud's hand gently, which was promptly returned.

"You're getting good at that." Leon said lowly while the other boys were distracted.

"At what?" Cloud asked with a knowing grin.

"Deflecting. That's twice this morning." Leon answered, moving so he stood facing the blond. He wrapped his arms around the blond's body and pulled him in to a tight hug. "I'm going to have to start being more careful around you."

"Whaddya have to hide?" Cloud asked, looking up at his boyfriend while arching his brow.

Leon closed on of his eyes and slowly shook his head. "Not a thing."

"You sure?" Cloud asked cutely, tilting his head as if he could get a better look into Leon's mind that way.

Leon huffed as he leaned down and kissed the blond chastely on the lips. "Don't do that."

"Do what?" Cloud asked, tilting his head for real this time.

"Be cute." the brunet answered, running a hand through silky blond spikes. "It's hard to focus when you do that."

Cloud smiled and leaned into Leon's touch. "I'll keep that in mind."

"Mushy, mushy, mushy!" Brantley sang, bringing Cloud and Leon's attention back to the group. The blond was shocked to learn that everyone was watching him and Leon.

"Uh… Hi!" Cloud said, smiling sweetly. "What are we talking about?"

Brad shook his head and cracked his knuckles. "I think what everyone wants to know is what you two were talking about."

"Details!" Xander almost cheered. "Sooo… Tell me about-"

"Quiet time…" Brad interrupted, covering Xander's mouth with his hand and patted him on the head. "Shh, shh…"

"I think we should head to our lockers now." Leon suggested, looking at the blond before his eyes scanned their friends. "Cats out of the bag now, so let's just minimize the damage."

Cloud grinned and looked back at his friends. "This is what happens when you guys act like asses." He stuck out his tongue and turned to follow Leon towards the building.

The other boys just giggled as they watched the couple leave hand in hand.

"I just wanted to ask if it hurt!" Xander shouted to draw attention. He grinned and winked at Cloud when the blond whipped around and gawked at his rather loud question. It was Xander's turn to act cute as he tilted his head and waved good-bye to Cloud. Leon glanced back and Xander swore he saw the brunet's lips twitch. For once he wasn't the last one to pick up on something.

-.-.-.-

Cloud was in high spirits because his first class was with Leon, among other things. Leon sat directly to his right and he found himself smiling and glancing over at his boyfriend more often than not. Leon caught a couple of these glances and offered a wink in return. That only served to make Cloud's smile widen.

When he wasn't glancing at Leon, Cloud doodled on the sheet of paper in front of him. He wasn't doodling Leon's name or little hearts or anything embarrassing like that; he was just keeping himself preoccupied while the teacher droned on and on about… what class was he in? He looked up and rolled his eyes as the teacher passionately told the story of some historical event, or something.

The blond sighed lightly to himself and glanced back over to Leon, who was writing down notes from the lecture. Cloud smiled to himself and watched as Leon's eyes danced across the page, looking up momentarily at the teacher before dropping back down to write some more. Watching those eyes made Cloud's heart swell with love for the brunet. Leon didn't even have to try to be sexy; he was naturally drop-dead gorgeous. It was enough to make his eyes tear up.

His smile to himself widened as his mind registered the still light throb deep inside from the night before. Sitting in the school's chairs weren't the most comfortable thing to do after the night he had last night, but it served as a wonderful reminder of what had happened between him and Leon. He wasn't lying to Leon when he told him that he liked it. He loved being reminded of what had happened and knowing that it was that part of Leon who left that throbbing reminder made his cheeks flush slightly.

He couldn't help himself for thinking that way. After the morning they had, suppressed by a cold shower, Cloud's mind tended to focus on details rather than abstract. He could easily recall how it felt when his orgasm subsided while Leon was still in the middle of his. He remembered what Leon's expression looked like as he trembled as his climax unwound. Those thought darkened his already present blush and he could feel his cheek heat up with the memories.

Cloud glanced back over to Leon and was almost startled to find the brunet watching him calmly. Cloud offered a half smile which was returned with a narrowing of the eyes. Cloud narrowed his eyes back playfully before smiling at Leon. Leon's eyes quickly looked Cloud up and down before he tilted his head slightly.

Cloud bit his lower lip and sighed softly. His eyes met Leon's once more and his heart pounded in his chest, so full of emotion. Leon seemed to pick up on this as his eyes softened.

Cloud couldn't restrain the surge of happiness and shifted in his chair restlessly, causing him to flinch slightly at the mild shock of pain. Leon's eyes softened further and his tilted his head, almost in way of apology. The blond responded only with a smile and his thoughts went back to the less than innocent images that were in his head. His cheeks flushed once more and he sent Leon a wicked smile.

Leon must have picked up on what Cloud was thinking of because he shook his head in a playful warning before refocusing on his notes. Cloud smiled at his boyfriend's avoidance. He knew what was going on in Leon's head right now because the brunet began doodling on his notes.

-o-o-o-

I wanna write the next chapter right –now-!!! I'll try to keep the next update less than a month and a half away.

I would looove to hear what you think, though! Please review?
