Someone…whose name I never wanted to know until now. Jealousy's eyes watched through me and stared at Leon as the sun fell through the sky. Is it love or hate? It was pain, I knew that much. But…even so…I don't think I could forgive. That thought that he would rather protect someone else. Jealousy, yes, anger…of course… But I never spoke with vehemence, for that was something no demon could provoke from my lips. I would stay, evermore, apathetic.

Immune to this cruel worlds pain… Maybe that's why I had always worried I'd become a Heartless. Mine was ice…what was the difference of never having one at all. It sounded so nice, the pretty words people put around emotion and feeling. "An angel's lips seduced him to an eternal slumber" rather than the "Old man was aged, tired, and sick of all the beatings life brought to him".

Seduce me and maybe I'll pay you some mind…

Either way, I needed a walk, a long walk, one that would preferably never end. I needed to get away since I was not a god; I hadn't the power to show Leon that he shouldn't hide things from me…as the one that would own him. Repayment? Maybe… I had nothing else to give, after all, except the clothes off my back and those had become too dear for me to let another touch. To think, of all things I had stripped a corpse of its damaged cloak that I had been the one to ruin. To think, of all things, it had been my lover's corpse at that. To think is such a bother. Maybe I'll focus on more…pointless things instead.

I could hear the sound of angel wings flapping in my hears. No…not wings…just one. I didn't know it could snow in Traverse Town until that day when I had left Leon inside to discover the world. The world meaning that small isolated place that was separated into even smaller districts. Yes…there…that tiny world, I almost wanted to escape. Curse the sadistic vile fiend that placed me on such a small rock. There was no room for me to move, or turn, or fuck at that.

And yet I wasn't the only one there… So many more people were crammed into that small space, watching…so close…with no escape. Maybe that was why, among other things, I wished to hide. Even so, the thought was boring and dragged out.

So I stepped in the snow, wondering if someone would cover my blackened steps. I wasn't a saint and I had never strived to be. People were evil, that was for sure… Sephiroth, who could say his intent was good? Maybe…if some psychotic asshole decided that obliterating the world was instead a form of purification, bringing us to a new place of peace…then it would be seen as a good intent. Though, even when I look at it like that it starts to seem like an angelic cause…like I had let people live for the wrong reason.

Another step and another print left in the snow. I had never noticed it before…how the snow filled in the foot steps on its own, as though I'd never been there. No sainthood needed to be acquired, you just need to stand alone so no one would know that the foot print had once been there.

With that I walked off more quickly, heading for the gate…heading for a mog, heading for something. I'd stayed there so long, looking for that light, and now I can't help but wonder if that light had just been…what naturally came from the door. …Yes, it wasn't a lighter-shadowed person, but rather an untainted beam. It wasn't someone helping me…

"But at best, it was you helping yourself," a husky voice muttered in my ear expectantly.

I turned around, as was to be expected, and saw before me Sephiroth. How…? When…? I hated the instant reactions of my body to ask these questions rather than the most important one. Why wasn't I running away? Or killing him? Why did I just stand there? That's what I really wanted to know…because I never understood myself.

"Indeed you did help yourself…" he said in a deep voice, pressing his lips to my neck. "As long as you admit that you're just a part of me. Are you willing to accept that yet?"

I had accepted it long ago, and now it was needless of question. So it had been Sephiroth…? It made sense in such a painful manner… But Leon felt so warm…so much like that light. It was foolish to kid myself, it was just the warmth of another body. Any body would do in the end.

Even Sephiroth's body was suitable.

"Because you're my clone…you're like my brother…my twin…myself," he continued, slipping his hand inside my pants to trap me. "I never knew you were the type to masturbate…always thought you'd just whore yourself to the closest living body."

What humor he did have was not amusing.

"I…can not be you," I muttered in resistance though it was pretty obvious my body didn't really care who the hell he was as long as his hand kept up the good work. The joys of knowing you're really nothing more than a mammal in search of more heat.

"And why not…?" he asked, pressing kisses to my neck now and lifting his other hand up my shirt.

Why not? Wasn't it pretty fucking obvious? I wouldn't feel up a guys chest like he had breasts.

"Because then I couldn't have killed you so many times…"

Well, it made sense before I said it…

What would happen if Leon saw us in the abandoned cold snow, looking like we were lovers rather than fuckers? What a morbid fascination I have with my own suffering. It was compelling though…the thought, the wonder…

If only all my curiosities came true like that one.

Leon exited the house, watched for a moment, until I let out a quieted moan in Sephiroth's ear, and walked right in front of us to sit down and watch the show. Sephiroth most certainly didn't seem to even pay any recognition to his presence, and as for me…well, I was the puppet and Sephiroth was the master. If he pulled the string for me to moan, there was nothing else I could do.

"No point in holding back, Cloud, everyone's already heard you," Leon muttered to me with his eyes focused on my pants and Sephiroth's hand.

Sephiroth stopped and smirked at Leon. "This is my property," he started as he looked down at me, making me want to escape…run away…hide in my rabbit hole, "and…in time, I'll come to reclaim it. Until then, feel free to finish it off."

Glad to see that I was so lowly I wasn't even given a gender anymore.

Though…I never expected Leon to take him up on the offer in the snow…in front of Sephiroth.

Notes: Yes, they're having sex. Sorry for the delay in updates…I'm very sick and my parents are doing that "You need to go to school anyway" thing. Yup, that's right, my parents want me to throw up on everyone in class and get them sick. Aren't they nice? As if I can stop myself from being sick . Yeah, I love my parents…like…not at all.

Aaaaaanyway~! That's why I've been having updating issues. Oh…that and I've been forced to draw. For the masochistic, Yeah… That'd be my DA-ness. I'm not much of an artist XD (I don't even call myself that o.o The term is "doodler") Hmm…was there anything else I needed to mention… Oh! For the people that are mad that I'm not writing any sex/detailed sex here, I uploaded something on geocities just for you…because you apparently have way too much free time ^^ …and want smut… Sokay, I do too and I do too~! Whee, smut =3

Now…if someone does actually read it, tell me so I can laugh XD Right then…I have math homework to get to since it's the only homework they told us all about before we even go to class. (I have a little schedule of 2 weeks of math homework written down…only need to do one more assignment for the week that's been done though ^^ And then…I'm going back to sleep.)

Oh! Almost forgot, I FIXED CHAPTER TWOOOOO~! (I realized I only uploaded the second half of it XD Oops o.o; )
