OHMYDEARJESUS, I AM SOOO SORRY. Things are just so hectic here that time just FLEW by! I feel horrible! D: So this was written very quickly. Sorry! I know for a fact the next update won't be until after May 12, the date of my final AP exam, but after then, I'll try to be better. School's almost finished for the year, so please bear with me a little longer!
Also, I apologize to any reviewer (ahem, that's basically all of my reviewers, right?) who I haven't replied to. Like I said. It's been very hectic here. I will try to get around to it sometime this week, but no promises. It's nothing personal, I swear.
ANYWAY. Here's your chapter. Sorry for the shortness/lateness/suckiness/etc-ness.
Idea 26: Leave a trail of breadcrumbs wherever you go.
Nudge. Nudge. Nudge. …nudgenudgenudgenu-- "Fuck, Cloud, go back to bed," Leon groaned.
"I can't find Cloud."
"What?"
Leon rolled over, coming face to face with a certain dark-haired best friend of his roommate. "Zack."
"Leon."
"You have five seconds to get off my bed."
"Cloud said you'd be pissy in the morning."
Leon ran a hand over his face. "I thought you said you couldn't find him."
"I can't. We're playing hide-and-seek, and he's really good at hiding."
Leon raised an eyebrow. Stealth and secrecy didn't seem like Cloud's strong points. Still, Leon made himself sit up and swing his legs out of bed.
"…what did I just step on?"
"Huh?"
Leon looked down at the floor. "Please tell me those aren't breadcrumbs."
"No, they are. They're everywhere today."
"Did you consider maybe following them?"
Zack nodded fervently. "I did. They lead here."
Leon looked down where the breadcrumbs ended. Right at the edge of the bed.
"Cloud, get out from under the bed."
Blond spikes poked out. Cloud announced, "You are just no fun in the mornings."
