Thanks for the reviews Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom hearts or Final Fantasy VII. There. I said it. -sigh- Cloud's POV The sand sifted beneath my feet, tiny yellow grains wet from the ocean waters.. "Sora...?" I ask, looking over at the sapphire-eyed brunette, his eyes meeting mine. I felt a slight rush of warmth in that small moment, as always, whenever he looked at me..

"What?" He grunted. GrumpyI thought, sighing softly.He does have the right though.. To be grumpy, that is. It's 5:00 AM and the sun has hardly risen, but...

"Out with it." The other boy nudged me, but I found myself engulfed in my thoughts. Sapphire-blue eyes looked at me expectantly as we walked down the beach together, the soft crash of the waves against the cliffs..

How could this.. This key-wielding, spiky-haired, goofy-looking boy have stolen my heart with just one small glance? He has found that one, small crack in my defences and now remains present at all times in my thoughts. I, Cloud, am in love with him. Sora. If Barret had known that I loved Vincent, and just acted like I was in love with Aeris, he would've immediately removed me from AVALANCHE. Stuck up, homophobic bastard.I thought, then sighed, looking over at Sora. "..." I tried to speak, but my voice just broke as soon as my lips opened. What?! Am I.. Am I afraid that he'll say no? That's impossible. Come on Cloud, believe in yourself..I mentally boosted my confidence. "What you said..." I began, looking down, stopping dead in my tracks and looking at the brunette, looking into his eyes. ".. Back there. In the room. Did you really mean that? About loving me..?" I asked, my voice faltering yet again. Please... Say yes..I thought. Seconds passed like hours.... "Sora....?" I asked, feeling cold tears trickle down my cheeks. He looked up at me and smiled, wiping away my tears then placing his hands beneath my chin. Sora pulled me in and captured my mouth with his. I pressed my hand against his chest, muscle rippling beneath his shirt. I would've said something cynic, sarcastic, but I was a bit preoccupied. Well, my mouth was, anyway. He pulled away and I just stood there, smiling, my arms around his waist.

Sora just smiled at me, perfectly white teeth shining in the dim, perfect sunrise, perfect lips tasting of strawberries, perfect hair spiked in every which way.. Everything about that moment, the kiss, the everything.. Was just... Perfect.

"You really did mean..." I began, but Sora knew how I would finish my sentence.

"Yes."

I tried to give you guys a good little piece of fiction, but, sadly, I stink at writing. Sooooooo... Don't flame, but, please, review............
