"Oh... my head..." Squall Leonhart groaned as he regained consciousness, lifting his head though it pained him much to do so. The chains and shackles, yes, he remembered at once, where he was, why, and who. He was in a dark, dank dungeon, with only one window providing light. The Dark Hunter had found him, but none of it made sense. Why had he become dark, cold, almost without a soul? It just didn't seem right, the Dark Hunter with his golden locks of hair and crystalline blue eyes, he just didn't appear to be... evil. And to think, Squall had sympathized for him. He pulled his arm towards himself and tugged on the thick chain, nearly all his strength was sapped, he dropped to his knees and bowed his head.

"Aww, fuck it... I'll... just wait..." Squall murmured, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, sitting up.

The Dark Hunter's coat flapped around behind his back as he walked down the steep hill leading down to the dungeons. There was an uncertainty in his step, his long legs masked within black leather pants striding uneasily. Turning a corner he found the door which held the reason for his unease, he took the bars of the door window into his hands and looked through, gazing upon the "sleeping beauty". A stirring in his heart brought a cry of frustration from his lips, everything he had built in the past year almost completely broken in his heart. He had built a cold personality, he had built a taste for power, and a taste for other things... but something about his current prisoner melted it all into nothing and let his true emotions be displayed, at least to himself and his private thoughts. Strands of his golden hair fell into place in front of his face as he stared at his feet, his original self again.

"What am I doing... what have I done!? Look at him, so weak.. So frail... victim to me... it isn't fair, Squall, it isn't fair... please forgive me... please..." Tidus whispered, his words reaching the awakened captee and caressing his ears like a song. It was the soft, kind voice he had known before Tidus had moved to the dark side of the world. He lifted his head to see Tidus' bright face peering in on him, their eyes met, deep blue connecting with it's crystal counterparts.

"Tidus?" he asked, afraid that the darkness in his soul would return him to his uncaring, the blonde man shifted his eyes downward.

"Squall..." Tidus' hands slipped from place on the iron bars and he leaned against the wood door, resting his forehead against the cold metal, a tear slipped from his eye and danced down his cheek, Squall squinted his eyes to see.

"Tidus?" Squall asked again, his voice shaking, Tidus closed both eyes tight and sighed deeply, as if in pain.

"Squall..." he whispered, turning and walking away, Squall stood and frowned, raising his hand.

"Tidus! Wait! Come back!" he lowered his hand upon hearing no response.

"Come back..."...

The young master held his face in his hands as he wept, sitting cross- legged on his bed in his dark chambers. His assistants could only stand by and witness their boss' breakdown, his sudden change, his metamorphous, and he was getting fed up with them just watching him cry.

"Would you idiots leave me be!?!" he snapped, lowering his hands and glaring at them with sore eyes, they gulped, nodded, and hurried away from him. Tidus fell onto his back and his body was racked with sobs once more, the orange sunset peering through the open stone-lined window at the troubled man.

"Why... why Squall?" he muttered to himself, an exiting assistant, Edward, heard it and bit his lip, turning right and going down a different hall from the others. To the dungeons.
"Come on, boy, wake up!" Edward shook Squall's shoulder, waking the unrestfully slumbering man, Squall looked up and rubbed his eyes.

"..Huh?" he murmured, Edward fished the keys from his pocket and unlocked the shackles around his wrists, pulling him to his feet and leading him, stumbling, towards the dungeon doors.

"Squall, listen to me... Master Tidus needs you right now... go up the hall, take the left, and go through the door. Please, try to console him." Edward pushed Squall into the corridor, giving him an odd look, he gulped and walked up the slope to the "fork in the road". He took the left and approached a heavy wooden door, hesitantly he took the gold knob in his hand and turned it, pushing on the door and entering the dimly lit room. Tidus looked across the room at him and swiftly sat up, wiping his eyes and clearing his throat.

"Squall? Why are you here?" he asked, Squall cautiously approached the other young man, glancing out the window at the sunset and the beach setting below, he returned his eyes to the sullen Tidus.

"Could I speak with you, Tidus? Outside?" he asked, holding out his hand to help the blonde off his bed, he was about to push Squall's hand away but then their eyes met again, and instead he took it into his own. Squall gripped his hand and pulled him up to his feet, standing a little taller than his captor. Without speaking, Tidus exited the room with Squall following behind, taking numerous twists and turns leading to the back door of the castle.

"Squall, it's going to be dark soon..." he warned, Squall let a sly grin slip across his face and he looked down at him.

"I know..." he said, with a tone as suggestive as his grin, Tidus jumped when he saw this silhouetted on his face.

"Squall? What are you doing?" he asked, watching him as he pulled off his jacket and threw it on the doorstep. Squall stalked towards him slowly, reaching out and softly cupping the side of his face, Tidus looked down at his hand.

"I want to bring you back, Tidus. I am your savior." Squall moved his hand to cradle the back of Tidus' head as he leaned forward. In a leap of faith and courage, he kissed his captor softly, rubbing his soft cheek with his thumb. Tidus jumped again when he felt Squall's lips against his and backed away, Squall just grinned and chuckled a little.

"Squall!" Tidus gasped, laughing a little, he laughed with him and smiled.

"Hey, Tidus... come here." Squall motioned for him to follow, the two walked out onto the beach where there were no shadows and they could see each other in the orange hue of the sunset.

"Let's just sit here and watch the sunset, okay?" Squall asked, waiting for Tidus' approval before lowering himself onto the sand. He brought one knee up and draped his bare arm over it, looking towards the blonde, who was chewing his bottom lip, hugging both his knees to his chest, staring out into the ocean.

"Squall... you really are my savior..." Tidus said, his voice quivering, he swallowed the saliva in his mouth and looked at Squall. He smiled and took in the salty ocean air, sighing happily.

"I'm just glad you're back to being you, I was scared I'd never have the Tidus I became friends with back..." he looked towards the ocean, listening to the crashing waves, Tidus sighed deeply, thinking things, feelings, over in his mind.

'Is it what I want? Of course it is, and he seems interested... but will it ruin our friendship? Do I...love... yes, I do... but does he? I guess I'll wait for him.'

Squall was thinking about things as well, but his thoughts weren't focused on such deep things, he was thinking about how beautiful Tidus was, and how soft his lips were when he had kissed him before. He turned his head to look at Tidus again, who was staring at the ocean, and leaned in closer, exhaling his hot breath on his neck and nuzzling it with his nose, slipping his tongue past his lips and lashing it across his skin. Tidus felt a jolt surge throughout his body as Squall toyed with his neck, he turned his body to face him and temporarily took access to his neck away. Taking both of Squall's shoulders and pinning him down on the ground, his knees straddling his hips, he just grinned down at him in an odd sort of invitation, and that's how Squall took it, an invitation.

Squall swiftly slipped one leg out of between Tidus' knees and lifted it, turning and wrapping it around his back, pushing up with one hand and flipping them so Tidus was then on his back. He smiled, his eyes glittering in the sunset, before he closed them and lowered his mouth onto his, Tidus reacted this time much to Squall's enjoyment. Both parted their lips and touched tongues, bringing low coos of pleasure from their throats, the brunette pulled back, smiling warmly down at Tidus, nimbly unfastening the buttons on his crimson red silk blouse, pushing it away from his chest and gliding his hands across his stomach. Squall then lifted his own white tank top over his head and tossed it on the sand, Tidus let his eyes take in the sight of Squall's bare upper half and felt himself getting more aroused, he was starting to get a hard on, as was Squall.

"Squall... are you sure about this?" he asked innocently without suggestion of anything, Squall sat on Tidus' legs with his back straight, stretching his arms above his head as if just waking up.

"Yes, I am, Tidus. I love you." Tidus was in another state of shock, Squall's confession of love resounding in his head. 'I love you... I love you...' was all he heard as the brunette slowly undressed him, and himself, leaving the two young men exposed for each other to see.

Squall lowered his hand down for Tidus to take, tilting his head to side and smiling, the blonde wasn't sure why he was being offered a hand but took it, and was hoisted up onto his knees.

"Wha-" he began a question, but the taller man pressed a finger against his lips.

"It'll be more comfortable this way, believe me..." he chuckled, slipping his arms around Tidus' middle, bringing him in close, embracing him. Tidus closed his eyes and rest his cheek on Squall's silky shoulder, slipping his own arms around him.

"If I do anything you don't like, tell me... okay?" Squall let him go and looked him in the eyes, he smiled and nodded.

"Okay."

Squall smiled and sat down on his heels, reaching out with a gentle hand and taking Tidus' member into it, running his thumb along the length of it, strands of his dark hair falling into his face. Tidus' mouth opened and he closed his eyes, tilting his head back and groaning a bit, Squall grinned and opened his own mouth, bringing his penis into it, then closed his lips around the head. Tidus jumped and breathed heavily, Squall listened as he licked the head and found that he was nearing his own orgasm, and would have to get to the point, soon.

"Tidus, I'm going to start. You're in charge, tell me what to do once I'm there. Okay?" he waited for the blonde's nod of approval before crawling around so he was behind him, Squall pressed on Tidus' shoulders until he understood and leaned forward with his hands in the sand, he exhaled nervously, waiting for whatever the other man was going to do to him. He looked at Tidus' nude body from behind and couldn't help himself, Squall pressed both hands against his ass, squeezing the flesh between his fingers, Tidus let out his breath noisily in enjoyment. He raised an eyebrow when one of the hands disappeared and turned his head to investigate.

Squall was sucking on one of his fingers, he raised his eyes and saw he was being watched and smirked, continuing wetting his finger, Tidus swallowed the saliva filling his mouth, dropped his head, closed his eyes, and waited for the impending.

"Here we go..." Squall whispered to himself, putting one hand on Tidus' hip, letting him know he was going to start something. He waited a moment before inserting his fingertip, stopping there to let him adjust to the intruder inside him before slipping it in further, Tidus' breathing got louder as he inhaled and exhaled, and Squall smiled.

"Ready for another one?" he asked, the blonde nodded, unable to speak at that moment. Squall spit in his other hand and encased his middle finger in it, slowly but without stopping to wait slipping it inside him next to the other finger, Tidus closed his eyes and felt his arousal throb excitedly. Almost as if he sensed it, Squall reached around his legs and took it into his hand, rubbing the shaft and slowly moving his two fingers back a little, letting him get used to having something inside.

Tidus groaned softly, feeling a little bit of a burning sensation, but it faded away and he was comfortable with Squall's fingers inside him, he moved his hips back against his fingers a little, letting his breath out heavily once more.

Squall felt Tidus push back against him and took this as a sign that he could take more and withdrew his fingers a bit, then pushed them in further, applying more pressure to Tidus' cock, massaging it faster. When Squall felt a bit of pre-cum drip out, he removed his hand and spit in it, coating his own arousal with the mix.

"Tidus, can I make love to you?" he bit his lip, staring at the back of his head until Tidus turned it around and smiled at him, his eyes bright as though fighting back tears, he nodded.

"Please, Squall, love me..." they both smiled and looked into each other's eyes, their hearts raced as Squall removed his fingers and eased forward. He slowly pushed his head inside, slowly pushing until he heard a cry from Tidus, he stopped and remained stationary as they both breathed heavily together, rapidly reaching ecstasy.

"It's okay, Squall... go ahead... I'm ready..." Tidus prompted, eager for the love coming to both of them. Squall reached up and put his hand on Tidus' chest, pulling him up so his back rested against his chest as he pushed in further, withdrawing a bit, then slowly pushing in again. Tidus moved his hips back when Squall withdrew, then to the front when he thrusted in, he looked back and the two young men watched each other as they made love on the beach.

Squall pushed in further, completely submerging his cock inside Tidus, then quickened the pace and thrusted in and out faster, Tidus kept time and brought his hips down hard, they both moaned deep in their throats.

"Tidus... I'm coming..." he warned, holding the man tight around the waist against him, Tidus closed his eyes tight and moaned again, loudly.

"Squall!" he cried, his arms dangling at his sides as Squall shot his hot cum inside of him and he came onto the sand in front, both were immediately drained of their energy. Tidus graciously collapsed underneath Squall as they both dropped onto the sand, only able to breathe. Soon they were blessed with a restful night of sleep, just far enough from the sea so they weren't swept away by the waves.
