"You okay?" Sora asked as Cloud slowly stood up. Cloud stared down at him from his greater height and looked him over. The youth hadn't changed much; except a few muscles that hadn't been there before and that he looked like he'd been ruffed up a bit.
"I'm fine," Cloud replied, a bit sheepishly. "It's just I don't get hit in the head by too many people with weapons."
Sora laughed and rested his fists on his slightly full hips. 'He shouldn't even have hips like that,' Cloud thought. 'Wait a minute! Why am I thinking about his hips? Not like they're all perfect or anything... What am I saying?! Everything about him's perfect!' Giving up, he sighed.
"Whassa matter?" Sora asked him.
The blond man shook his head. "Nothing... listen-"
"CLOUD!!!" came the loud voice he had grown used over the years in which he had worked with her. "Where have you been?!?!" Yuffie exclaimed. "We've been looking all over for ya!!"
"I've been right here," Cloud stated solemnly.
"Yes, he has been right here, Yuffie," the gentle voice of Aerith said. "But you kept going around in circles saying that, 'He's gotta be around here somewhere!!'." Yuffie and Sora laughed at her imitation of the ninja.
"That's pretty good, Aerith," Sora said. "You could get your own TV show or something!"
The woman in pink giggled and blushed while Yuffie snorted.
"Hey," Aerith said suddenly. "Why don't we all get something to eat? Sora, you look famished!"
As if it heard the statement, Sora's stomach growled with hunger. "Heh heh... My stomach agrees with you."
!~!~!~!~!~!
At dinner, the four talked about almost everything; the weather, Heartless, stuff like that. Yuffie even made a comment about Sora's big feet. He protested and said that it was just the shoes.
After dinner, Aerith and Yuffie said that they had to go 'shopping' leaving Cloud and Sora all alone. They decided to go for a walk around town.
"So," Sora asked as they stridded into the Third District. "How's life?"
"...alright, I suppose," Cloud replied.
"That's...nice... How've you been lately?"
"...good..."
"That's good... See any Heartless around here?"
"..a few..."
Sora clenched his hands. 'Is he gonna give me one or two word answers all night?!' he thought. "Are you always this talkative!?"
"...no..."
"Ughghgh!!! I'm sick of this!!! Don't just give me one or two word answers all night!?! Back at the Coliseum you were talking like there was no tomorrow!!!!"
"......" Cloud just stared at him.
Tears welled up at the corner of the boy's eyes before he took off running. 'I thought he cared about me!!! But he's...just like Riku....'
"Sora!" Cloud called to the youth before he too took off running.

A/N : *singing* tell me what you thiiink!! Abooooouuuut the story! *stops singing* In other words, R+R=review!! Do so please! And if you're wondering about why the hell Sora ran off so easily for, then it's cuz I needed a reason for him to run away from Cloud and that was the first thing that came to mind.
