A/N: You know, I just realized that Cloud is very OOC in this fic. I mean in KH he's very dark and somber, but here he's cute and dorky. Hmm…big difference. And the relationship between Leon and Cloud in this fic sort of reminds me of Yuki and Shuichi in Gravitation. OH WELL! Anyway, here's chapter 8 of the fic. Sorry, no juicy lemon in this one…I really planned for there to be one in this chapter but something else came up. It's a really boring chapter. Here, Leon leaves to Hollow Bastion where he meets someone he could had swore he known from a long time ago. Sorry if you find a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. I'm way too lazy to reread and edit it myself. Please just ignore them.

Chapter Eight: Return to Me
"Stupid asshole…falling asleep on me like that. Shit, see if I would ever want to have sex with him ever again…" The angry brunette muttered to himself as he stuffed his travel bag into the gummi ship. "Why is it so fucking cold?!" Leon growled as he kicked the snow with his heavy boot. Ever since he woke up this morning he had just been on cranky bitch, taking all his anger out on anything and everything.
Last night was just a nightmare. Leon couldn't believe that the idiot blond just fell asleep on him! Leaving Leon with very depressed blue balls that he decided not to relieve, since he was more angry than horny. Leon had made another attempt to get Cloud to wake the hell up but the spiky-headed jerk was dead asleep. He had nearly pushed Cloud off the bed, but didn't get anything more than a grunt from the sleeping blond. After deciding that it was no use in trying to get the deep-sleeper to wake, he went and packed for his trip early the next morning, then went to sleep.
And so the next morning, Cloud was still very much asleep. Leon didn't even bother to wake him. It was his punishment for last night. So the blond will have to suffer for not saying goodbye to the brunette, and endure the torture of not seeing his lover for this whole week - when Cloud thought it was next week that Leon was leaving. Ha! That's what he get for putting Leon through that hell!
The angry brunette stomped back into their little house. The two female roommates looked up at Leon when they heard him come in. He crossed his arms over his chest, his lip curled as he cocked and eyebrow and narrowed his eyes and eyed the two roommates.
"Sorry Leon…he's still asleep." The green-eyed ancient said apologetically. Leon scoffed in response.
"How about I go wake him!" Yuffie chirped as she jumped up and pounded her fists together.
"No." Leon more demanded than replied, "Let the asshole sleep. When he wakes up tell him that I left and I do not forgive him." His eyes wandered to their bedroom door, half-expecting the blond to jump out, before he scoffed and jerked his head away.
"How long are you going to be gone, Leon?"
The brunette looked over at Aerith and shrugged. "I don't know…I'm in no hurry to come back," he said rather coldly. He turned back to the door, "Well, I'll see you all later."
"Bye Leon! Have a nice trip!" Aerith tried her best to sound at most cheery.
"Yeah, and don't worry, I'll take care of Cloud while you're gone!" Yuffie smirked evilly, pounding her fists together again.
Leon just grunted as he exited out the door and into the dreaded cold.
-----
Cloud yawned widely as he rolled on to his side. His baby blue eyes fluttered open, blinking at the morning sunlight. He stretched against the bed then rubbed his eyes with his hand. He sat up and raised his arms over his head and stretched some more before he sighed contently. That was probably the best sleep he had in a very long time. With a big smile on his face, he hopped out of bed, and whistled to himself as he strolled in to the bathroom to do his morning things.
When that was done, he put on some clothes and pranced out of his room in to the main room, "Good morn--ACK!" Cloud's super-perky greeting was interrupted by a fist diving in to his face. The blond stumbled back and cradled his offended cheek, "Ow! What'd you do that for??"
"Jerk!" Yuffie huffed, her hands fisted on her hips as she glared at Cloud.
"What did I do?" The blond pouted.
"Hmph! Jerk!" The furious ninja spun on her heel and stomped over to her other friend.
Aerith smiled nervously at Cloud, "Well, you see Cloud…um…Leon told us a little bit of what happened…and well, he wanted us to tell you that he left for his trip today."
Cloud blinked at them and rubbed his cheek, "Already?"
"…"
"…"
"What do you mean 'already'?!" exclaimed the ninja, "Do you know how pissed you made Leon?? No, he was more pissed than 'pissed'! He was a single, overweight mom of 10 kids on menopause!"
"Sit down Yuffie…" Aerith pulled the outraged ninja to sit down as she smiled at Cloud. "She's over exaggerating…but yes, Leon was pretty angry this morning and to top it all off, you were…um…still asleep when Leon left to Hollow Bastion."
The blond blinked again and scratched his head innocently, "I know."
Yuffie jumped up again throwing her hands up in the air, "What do you mean 'you know'?!"
Actually, Cloud did really know. He knew when he woke up this morning that Leon had left on his trip already, and he was sure as hell that the brunette is still very, very mad at him. Lucky for him, he found this out last night.
Last night, after having fallen asleep on Leon, Cloud woke up some time later and had found the brunette packing up his things and muttered something about waking up early to go to Hollow Bastion. Cloud would had said something then, but he was too sleepy (not to mention the brunette looked pretty damn pissed), so he went back to sleep. Later on, he woke up again when Leon had fell asleep next to him. Cloud had felt really, really bad for…well, everything. He made himself get up and out of bed to do something to make it up for his Leon.
Well, he really didn't know what to do and he couldn't just wake up the sleeping brunette so they could pick up where they left off - Leon needed his sleep for the trip. So he decided to write Leon a letter. It wasn't one those stupid corny notes Cloud would usually write to Leon. It was a sweet, romantic letter that had him pouring his heart and soul and apologizing like a little bitch. He tucked the letter in to a nice envelope and hid it in one of the bags Leon was going to take on the trip. Surely, the letter would had softened up the angry brunette. And if that didn't work, Cloud threw in some…'interesting' pictures that he was sure Leon will have to forgive him.
Cloud smirked a little devilishly, "He'll be back soon. Trust me."
-----
Leon grumbled to himself as he entered his rented room at Hollow Bastion. The trip was very long, and very tiring. He even dozed off during the trip and his ship encountered an asteroid. He had to make a stop at Halloween Town to fix the damage. While he was there, he had a run-in with some freaky heartless. Of course, he had no problem taking care of them, it felt good to pick up his gun-blade and hack away at those bastards. In fact, after he was done with those, he went rapid on the town looking for more heartless to butcher. For some reason each heartless that sprang up on Leon, had Cloud's head.
When he finally got to Hallow Bastion (which was the next day), he was tired and ready to fall asleep, but he had to get the gummi parts delivered to the warehouse. Unfortunately, it took him forever to find it and it turned out he had to come back tomorrow because the warehouse was closed. Then, Leon was just about to go check in to his rented room, when he ran in with a certain keyblade master along with his fellow travelers. Sora and his companions were here to do some training. Leon just wanted to go to bed already but Sora just had to keep on yapping and yapping about something Leon couldn't remember. It wasn't until the duck said they had to get going and Leon was free.
That was, until he got to the hotel and the lady at the reception desk was just not cooperating with him. He told the receptionist that he should had a room checked out under the name 'Leon Leonhart', but the receptionist said there wasn't a 'Leon Leonhart' registered here, but there was a 'Leo Queen-of-Hearts'. Leon almost lost it there. This had to be some stupid joke of Cid's, since it was he who made the reservations for Leon. The receptionist wouldn't let Leon have the room unless he had some kind of proof, but he didn't have anything that would prove he registered for that room, and he didn't have enough money to get another room. After thirty minutes of convincing, persuading, and twenty bucks, the lady finally gave Leon his room.
So now here he is in his room. Finally, he could get the much needed sleep he had been waiting for. He tossed his travel bag on a nearby armchair and fell face first on to the bed. He groaned in to the pillow, having remembered he should do his night stuff before he went to sleep. But he just couldn't get up, instead he just rolled on to his back and muttered a 'fuck it' as he kicked off his boots and shrugged off his jacket. The brunette let his eyes fall shut, but as much as Leon wanted to sleep, he couldn't.
Fifteen minutes later he was still awake and he so badly wanted to, but he would not sleep. "What the hell…" he muttered. He sighed and rolled on to his side, hoping that would somehow help.
It didn't.
Maybe it was because he hadn't done any of his night things. So he got up and did that. Another fifteen minutes later he returned to the bed, yawned and was sure sleep would come soon.
It didn't.
So now he was laying here just pondering to himself. He wondered if they'll be more heartless for him to slaughter. He wondered if he'll have to stay here for long. He wondered what the hell was Sora talking about earlier and hoped it wasn't anything important. He wondered what that idiot blond was doing at home and what he had been doing for the past two days that Leon had been gone. He wondered if Yuffie actually did 'take care' of that bastard. He wondered if Cloud been taking of himself and not been going to bars for drinks again. He wondered if Cloud could be going out on dates, and cheating on him at this very moment or was he sleeping right now. Yeah, probably. He's most likely sprawled out on their bed right now, sleeping soundly as his eyes would move slowly behind their closed lids, his breathing slow and heavy, little snores escape from his lips every now and then, his body warm and comforting.
Leon sighed, "Stupid bastard…" he muttered after figuring out why he couldn't sleep - he needed that idiot blond next to him. He needed that warm body next to him, knowing that the both of them were safe as the held each other through the night. As much as he was still angry at Cloud, he wondered if Cloud missed him as much as he did. And if he did, good! Let that idiot suffer! But what if Cloud didn't? He didn't even bother to wake up when Leon left. Well, it's not like Cloud knew he was leaving, but he still could had woken up! Does he not care anymore??
The brunette growled and fisted the sheets beneath him before he released them and grabbed one of the pillows by his head, put it at his side, and snuggled up next to it, wishing it was that warm body he had gotten so use to.

Leon walked up to the large metal doors of the warehouse. One arm carried a clipboard with some papers, and the other pulled a cart of boxes. He knocked at the large metal doors and waited for a moment before the door opened and a young man peered out.
"Hiya! Can I help you?" The man was cheerful and seemed really nice.
Leon, of course, was in a crappy mood, "I got deliveries for a…" he looked at his clipboard, "…Zack Ando[1]."
"Yep, that's me!" The man stepped out. He was good-looking. He was dressed in a navy blue jumpsuit and had long, black, spiky hair. Although there was some black smudges on his face, he had a very dashing smile. "What do you have for me?"
Leon blinked at him. He could had swore he met this guy somewhere before. "Uh…" he forgot what he was here for.
"Oh! Are those the gummi-parts I ordered from Cid?" The man called Zack asked excitedly.
The brunette shook himself out of his thoughts and cleared his throat, "Oh…yeah."
Zack wiped his tar-covered hands on an already dirty rag hanging on his utility belt. "Perfect timing! I was just in the middle of installing a new engine to my ship and you have what I need to finish the job."
"Well, if you just sign here, then you'll have it." Leon handed him the clipboard.
Leon watched as the spiky raven-haired man graciously took the clipboard and signed his name in the indicated spot. He was sure he had met or seen this guy somewhere before.
Zack felt the brunette's gaze at him and looked up at him as he signed, "You're a delivery guy?"
Leon just shrugged, "Not really. Just on some days."
The warehouse worker chuckled as he handed the clipboard back to Leon, "You sure don't dress or look like one."
"Thanks…I guess." Leon pulled the cart by his side, "Where do you want them?"
Zack smiled and pointed a thumb over his shoulder, "Inside, if you don't mind." he stepped back into the warehouse and Leon followed after him, pulling the cart along with him.
The place didn't even look like a warehouse. It looked like a really huge garage with a lot mechanical stuff working. It looked like the place where Leon would work at, at home.
"Just set them over there." Zack gestured toward a spot on the floor.
Leon placed the boxes on the floor, "There's another load in my ship. I'll go get them."
"I'll help you." Zack followed the brunette to his ship where more boxes waited, and they both unloaded the boxes and brought them in to the warehouse, "So if you're not a delivery guy, what do you do?"
"I work for Cid. So I pretty much do the same thing as you." replied Leon.
"Hey, that's cool!"
Once again, Leon felt that feeling like he really knew this guy, and it was starting to tick him off if he didn't find out if he did or not. After they unloaded the last of the boxes, Leon turned to Zack with a questionable look, "I can't help but wonder, but have we met before?"
Zack scratched the back of his head, "Uh…I can't say that I remember you. You're not from around here, are you? What's your name?"
Leon shook his head to the first question, "Leon Leonhart."
Zack put his hand to his chin as he pondered for a second, "Leon Leonhart? Hmm…it doesn't ring a bell."
Leon should had probably said 'Squall Leonhart', but it didn't occur to him. "Probably not. Well, I should get going." He turned to leave when the warehouse worker called to him.
"Hey, wait!" Leon turned back to him. Zack suddenly became shy and idled with his dirty washrag. "If you're not going to be busy with anymore deliveries later…would you…uh…want to stick around, maybe? I mean, since you should know a lot about gummi parts and…"
"Sure."
The raven-haired man blinked at him before his face lit up, "Really? You're not busy?"
Leon shook his head, "I only had those boxes to deliver to you, and I'm in no hurry to go back."
"Oh…" He turned to the boxes behind him and took a pocket knife from his utility belt, then began to open up the boxes with them, "You're from Traverse Town, right?"
Leon walked over to him and helped him open each box, "Yeah."
"I never been there before. What's it like?"
"Small, boring, not very many people, Cid."
Zack chuckled, "Sounds fun."
The brunette smirked, "Not really."
The warehouse worker took the gummi parts out from their boxes, "Maybe I should go there one day."
Leon shrugged, "If you want."
"You wouldn't mind giving me a little tour of the place, would you?"
Leon unwrapped the gummi parts from the bubble wrap, "Why not?"
Zack chuckled again, "You're a man of little words, huh?"
"I guess you can say that. You work here alone?"
"Well, no…there's the moogles, and…yeah, that's basically it."
"Sounds fun."
Zack chuckled then looked at Leon and smiled. It was at that moment Leon realized why he thought he knew this guy before - this guy looked and acted like Cloud. It was no wonder he felt this familiar attraction toward Zack. They both had that same look in their eyes, not to mention they both had stunning baby blue eyes. The both of them are so cheerful and cute. And that smile, was almost identical to the blonde's. If Zack cut his hair short and dyed it blonde, the two of them would be twins.
"What?" But Zack's voice was deeper, stronger, and it almost made Leon tremble.
Leon hadn't realized he was staring at the raven-haired man, "Huh?…nothing…sorry, you just reminded me of someone."
Zack's face suddenly dropped, "Does this 'someone' happen to be a lover or something?"
The brunette blinked, "Uh…yeah…how'd you know?"
Zack smirked, "The way you were looking at me."
Leon blushed and looked away, "Sorry…" he muttered.
The raven-haired man laughed, "Hey, it's ok! I didn't mind, I like the attention."
Cloud always like attention too.
"Well, I guess it be stupid of me to ask you out." Zack laughed nervously.
Leon didn't respond. If Leon was single he probably would had said 'yes' to Zack if he asked him out. Zack was this manlier version of Cloud, and it interested Leon. But of course, he would never do that to Cloud.
"I miss him." The brunette muttered to himself, although the other heard.
"Well, if you miss him, why don't you go home to him, then?"
Leon snorted," Maybe later."
"How come?"
"…I'm mad at him."
"Why?" This guy was turning out to be more and more like Cloud. Talkative and annoying. But he didn't mind.
Leon glanced up at him and shook his head, "You know, you two are very much alike."
Zack grinned, "Is that so…well, since you're mad at him, why don't I replace him for today?" he wiggled his eyebrows and grinned devilishly.
Leon almost thought about it for a second. He could probably have his way with this Cloud-look-alike right here and right now on this cement floor, and no one would know, but he could never do that to Cloud.
"Tempting…but no thanks."
The raven-haired man threw his head back and laughed, "Aw…that's too bad." Leon just smirked at him. "Really though, why are you mad at him?"
Leon sighed, "It's nothing big."
"Shouldn't you forgive him then, I mean, if it's nothing big?"
"I guess I should, but…I don't know…I'm just 'punishing' him right now."
"Why are you doing that?"
"He just needs to be punish."
"Do you love him?"
Leon didn't see that question coming, "Um…yeah."
"A lot?"
"Yes."
"Well then, you shouldn't be doing this. If you love him, you should forget everything and go home to him. You know, every second you're wasting over here, you could be spending it with him. Don't take him for granted. You love him and you're lucky to have someone love you back. 'Cause let me tell you, it's hard to find someone who would, and it sucks. Trust me, I know. It gets lonely here in Hallow Bastion…"
The brunette blinked at him. He wasn't expecting that either. He sat there silent for awhile, letting Zack's words sink in. He was right. He shouldn't be doing this to Cloud. He and Cloud could be making up their lost times right now. And while Zack was talking, Leon swore he saw Cloud. As much as he didn't want to admit it again, he really did miss Cloud like hell.
"You're right."
Zack smiled, "Of course I am." He plucked the gummi part from Leon's hands, "So why don't you run along home right now, and go get your man!"
The brunette snatched the gummi part back and smirked, "Why don't I just stick around a little while longer before I go." He knew what it was like to be lonely, and it really did suck.
The spiky raven-haired man sighed, "Well, If that's what you want." Although, Zack was perfectly fine with that.
"He can wait a tiny bit longer. Besides, I just remembered why I was mad at him in the first place."
"And what's that?"
"He forgot our 2nd year anniversary."
"Ooh…ouch."
-----
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" Cloud yelled out as he tried pushing his two roommates out of their shared house.
"Hey! What are you doing??" Yuffie tried pushing back.
"Uh…Cloud, would you mind telling us why you're in such a haste to get us out?" Aerith asked politely, although she was roughly being shoved out the door.
Cloud stopped pushing and groaned, "Leon can be home any minute!"
"And?!" Yuffie screeched.
"And…when he gets home, trust me you guys don't want to be home!" Cloud tried pushing them out the door again.
Yuffie shoved him away, "What's that suppose to mean??" Cloud didn't say anything as he smirked devilishly at them. "Oh god…well, don't be expecting him home anytime soon."
"What do you mean? Of course he will be! It's only been 4 days…"
The blond frowned a bit, wondering what could be taking his love so long. Had he not found the letter yet? Maybe he should had woken up to say goodbye to Leon that day. Cloud was starting to get lonely…desperate…and sort of worried. What if Leon found someone else while he was in Hollow Bastion? Right now, Leon could be fucking some slutty piece of ass, while Cloud was at home, all alone and horny. Actually the thought of Leon desperate and horny enough to cheat on him sort of turned him on a little bit…ah! What is he thinking?! He would die if that was true.
"I bet Leon isn't even going to come back."
"Yuffie!" Aerith scolded.
"What? I wouldn't if my boyfriend did that to me!"
Cloud frowned even more before he burst out crying, "I miss my Leon!"
Yuffie felt pity for the crying man and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "Aw…c'mon Cloud, I was just kidding. Of course he'll be coming back. Leon would never do that to you, right? He's a better man than you."
Cloud sniffed back a sob, "You're right. I don't have anything to worry about."
"So I'm sure Leon will be home soon."
He looked up at the two and smirked, "Yeah, so get out!"
-----
"Hey Leon, could you hand me that screwdriver?" The spiky raven haired warehouse worker asked from inside a gummi ship.
He tried not to drool as he watched as the brunette bent over to pick up the screwdriver, his eyes raking over the leather pants that squeezed Leon's ass so very nicely. He was getting tempted, very tempted. Leon walked over to the other and handed him the screwdriver.
Zack took it with a smile, "Thanks. You know, you're still here."
The brunette nodded, "I know. I figured while I'm here, I'll take a little vacation."
"And make your boyfriend wait some more?"
"He won't die." Leon went back to checking out some blueprints on the table. He bent over to take a closer look. This time Zack almost drooled and he decided to give in to temptation.
He climbed out of the gummi ship and walked toward his target. His eyes trained on the tight leather-clad ass and he licked his lips. Leon heard him coming and stood up right again, turning on his heel to meet the other. He jolted back when he saw Zack was barely an inch away.
"Uh…what?"
Zack smiled mischievously (now where has Leon seen that before?) "You're sure you don't want to take up on my offer?" he took a step closer to Leon.
Leon raised and eyebrow giving him that 'what-the-hell?' look, "What offer?" he took a step back. He backed in to the table, trapping him between the table and the devious looking Zack.
Zack took another step closer, leaning in so much that they were practically breathing the same air, "You know…the one about me 'replacing' your boyfriend…" his hand crept up Leon's thigh.
Leon almost shivered to the touch. In response his hands came up and fisted Zack's sleeves in attempt to push him off, but he didn't. His eyes fell shut and his breath was coming in short gasps as Zack continued his ministration on his sensual spots that his body longed for. Although his mind was screaming, 'No! No! No!' part of him couldn't resist.
"No one…can…replace him…"
He could feel Zack's breath pouring down his neck as he spoke hotly against his neck, "Of course not…what was I thinking? Well, you did say I looked and acted like him. How about we just…'pretend'?"
Leon only wished that this was Cloud. Well, he could pretend…no! No! He couldn't. It's not Cloud…and he would never, never, never, NEVER, do this to Cloud.
He suddenly pushed the long, spiky haired man away, sending him falling on his ass.
"Ow!" Zack winced and rubbed his bottom, "Did you have to push so hard??"
Leon ran to help him up, "Sorry! I didn't mean to…"
Zack got to his feet and although his ass was hurting like a bitch, he smiled at Leon painfully, "S'okay…but all you had to do was tell me 'stop'. But I'm sorry too."
Leon shook his head, "It's ok." He wasn't mad. He knew Zack was a lonely guy. Who could blame him? It was a shame a damn good-looking guy like Zack could be so lonely. If Leon was single, he would had helped Zack with his 'lonely problem, but he wasn't. He had Cloud, and there wasn't anything else he could want. "Look Zack, I'm sure you're a really great guy, but I already have someone I really care about and well, I love him more than life itself." He smirked, "I would kill myself before I did anything to hurt him." They were silent for a short while before Leon spoke up again, "I should be getting home."
The raven-haired man nodded, understanding Leon, "Lucky guy." he smiled and held out his hand before Leon took it and shook it, "Well Leon, it was nice meeting you. You send him my regards."
Leon chuckled lightly, "Yeah right. If I tell Cloud I met and was spending time with some guy, he would go crazy."
"Wait, 'Cloud'? That's his name?" Zack asked curiously.
Leon blinked at him, "Yeah…"
"'Cloud'…that sounds familiar. 'Cloud' what?"
"Strife."
Zack stood there pondering for a moment, "Hmm…that sounds really familiar, but I can't put my finger on it… oh well. Anyway, you should get going."
Leon would had told him more about Cloud but didn't want to reawaken any old flames or something like that, so he left it at that.
"Yeah…well, nice meeting you too. If you're ever in Traverse Town, give me a visit." He turned to leave, "Take care, Zack." he shot him a smiled as he opened the door to exit.
"You too, Leon. Oh and Leon?" Leon looked over his shoulder at him. The other smiled widely, "You're a really great guy too."
-----
"Hey Cloud! We got food!" Yuffie pounded on the locked door, but only silence responded to her, "Hey loser, are you sleeping? Well, wake up or me and Aerith are gonna eat it all!" She pounded on the door a couple more times, "Cloud!!"
"Go away!" A throaty voice yelled from the other side of the door.
Yuffie stood back, astounded at the blonde's rudeness, "Hey don't yell at me! I didn't do anything! I was being nice and was offering you food!"
"I don't want it! Go away!!"
"What the hell are you doing in there?!"
"None of your business! GO AWAY!!"
"Ugh! Fine! See if I ever be nice to you again…JERK!!" She kicked the door and stomped off.
-----
Leon placed his (stolen) things in to his bag. The service here sucked, so he decided to take home some hotel goods for souvenirs. He stuffed the pocket with chocolate mints and miniature shampoo bottles, then zipped it up. With an evil smirk on his face, he picked up the heavy bag and hoisted it on to his left shoulder. Too bad he forgot to zip up some other pockets, and everything came pouring out.
"Aw shit!" Leon groaned, looking at the mess on the floor. He sighed and squatted down to 're-stuff' his things in to his bag, "Stupid Hotel…just for that, I'm going to take the bath towels." he muttered, tossing the batteries he stole from the TV's remote control in to his bag. As he continued doing that, he came across a white envelope faced down next to a tampon (hey, it was free!). Not remembering seeing the envelope before, he picked it up, "What's this?" he asked himself before he flipped it to the front and saw it had his name written on the front. A letter for Leon? From who? Curious, Leon ripped the envelope open and took the piece of paper out. He flipped the folded paper open and saw that it was a letter to him. And from the handwriting, he hand an idea of who it was from…Cloud.
But when the hell did Cloud write to him? And how'd it get in his bag? He decided to read and find out.
Dear Leon,
I know you're wondering when, why and how I wrote this letter to you. Don't worry this isn't one of those stupid notes I give to you with only 10 words on it and call it a letter…
Leon smiled to himself. He remembered one time, Cloud came to his workplace to give him a note. Turns out it was just a candy wrapper that said, "Your ass is like fire. I want to touch it."
…it's a real letter. A letter I owed you, Leon. I woke up while you were packing for your trip and overheard you saying something about leaving. So I figure you were leaving on your trip to Hollow Bastion today. I would had said something then, but I didn't want to risk getting my head chopped off. After you went to sleep, I got up and now here I am, sitting here thinking about you. I want to apologize for…EVERYTHING. Especially for falling asleep on you a few hours ago. I'm very sorry about that. I was already tired and well, when you came home doing all those oh-so-good things to me…I melted. I felt like I could stay like that forever and it made me slip in to such a blissful sleep. Because of you Leon, you make me feel so damn good. The way you look at me, the way you touch me, everything you do…just makes me feel like I could die happy and go to heaven. But who needs that when I have you; you are my heaven. I'm so sorry. I never meant to make you mad and piss you off. You know that I love you and want nothing more than to be with you and be the one to make you happy. But I'm just the clumsiest, idiotic boyfriend. Sometimes I think you're too good for me, and I'm just not good enough for you. But now as I watch you sleep, I feel complete. You complete me Leon Leonhart. I forget about you being too good for me or me not being good enough for you. I don't care. You are mine and I am yours. That's all that matters. I need you and I will never, never let you go. Please come back home soon. Return to me, Leon.
Love,
Your Darling Cloud.
Leon felt his heart swell as he read the letter to himself. Damn that idiot! He was going to make him cry! How could he possible stay mad after reading that? He too felt the very same way for his Cloud. Where the hell would he be without him? The two of the needed each other like peanut butter and jelly…well, maybe not peanut butter and jelly, but that's not the point! They need each other damn it! And like Leon said before, there wasn't anything else Leon could want.
He noticed the letter had some more witting at the end and continued to read the rest.
P.S. I left some other thing in the envelope so you have…us to think about.
Leon eyed the enveloped in his other hand and peeked in to the ripped opening. Sure enough there was something left. Placing the letter down, he used the same hand to reach in and take out the remaining things in the envelope. It was a small stack of photos. The very first picture on top of the stack was a familiar picture of him and Cloud. Cloud with a big goofy grin as he gave Leon bunny ears. Leon didn't look to happy taking the picture. The brunette smiled at the picture before he flipped to the next one. The next picture was of them again, only Leon looked a little bit more pleasant and Cloud just looked happy next to him. The next one was of a cute picture of Cloud giving Leon a kiss on the cheek. Even Leon looked shy in the picture. Then the next one was of the two again. Cloud hugging Leon closely, as if he could squeeze the life out of him, but they both looked so happy, even Leon who was smiling in the picture.
Leon realized that some of these pictures weren't taken too long ago. How has he changed from his usual sullen, somber self to a happy, smiling freak in love. All thanks to Cloud. He smiled at the picture one last time before he flipped to the next one. But the next picture was totally not what he had expected and totally nothing like the ones he just saw. Eyes wide, Leon stared at the picture of a shy Cloud…naked.
Cloud was standing with his arms hugging his lower stomach. Most of him was barely hidden but very visible in the picture. A faint blush across his cheeks as he bit his bottom lip shyly. Leon didn't remember seeing this picture before, but it was a damn sexy picture and had him practically drooling. He eagerly flipped to the next one to see if there were more surprises. There was.
The next one was of his naked Cloud laying on the bed on his stomach, giving the camera a shy but naughty smile. The curve of Cloud's ass was so very nice. Leon just wanted to pet it in the picture. Flipping to the next one, Leon was delighted to that it didn't end there. Another naked picture of Cloud sitting on the bed, leaning back against the headboard. One leg stretched out while the other was bent and pointed up. A finger in his sexy mouth while his other hand was placed dangerously close to his…erection. A damn sexy look on his face that proved someone wasn't so shy anymore.
Leon thought he could had a nosebleed. This was, like, torture for him. Seeing such incredible sexiness but not being able to touch. He then wondered how did Cloud take these pictures. He hoped there wasn't some 'cameraman' taking these or else he would had to go hunt him down. Luckily, that was easily forgotten when Leon saw there was more.
The next few picture was where things got explicit. Lets just say it involved, more nudity…in other places, touching…in other places, use of 'toys', and a damn kinky Cloud that had Leon falling on his ass (after forgetting he was still squatting on the floor), and a massive nosebleed. Oh, and not to mention the growing ache in his pants.
After forcing himself to tear his eyes away from the graphic pictures, Leon quickly repacked his things and raced out of the hotel, desperate to get home to his Cloud soon. He was definitely going to forgive his kinky blond. He threw his bag in to the gummi ship, and was about to jump in when…
"Hey Leon, where you going?" The brunette spun around to find the young key blade master standing right behind him, giving him his best grin.
Leon resisted the urge to push the kid away to jump on the ship and leave, but instead answered his little friend, "Back to Traverse."
Sora held his hands behind his back, attempting to start a conversation with Leon, "Already? Why?"
Leon shrugged, "Can't keep them waiting."
"You mean Cloud?" Sora grinned even wider.
Leon cocked an eyebrow, wondering how did the little kid know. Sora chuckled and waved a photo of Leon and Cloud together…the one with Cloud kissing Leon on the cheek. Leon blushed and snatched the picture back.
"Where'd you get that?"
"You dropped it on your way out."
Leon gasped and hoped he didn't drop any other pictures. He quickly dug through his back pocket for the envelope to check if all the pictures were there. Thankfully they were. And taking another glance at the more interesting pictures caused another itch in his pants. Swiftly, Leon hopped in to his ship before Sora could notice the bulge in his pants.
"Well, I got to go! Bye!" The older brunette said quickly.
Sora smiled and waved 'bye' before he ran off to wherever. Eagerly, Leon started up the engine, finally able to go home. Unfortunately, the engine didn't start.
"NO!!" Leon yelled out loudly, hitting anything to get the ship to start, but it would only start for one second then die. "Damn it! Stupid piece of crap!" He groaned, and fell back in to his seat, kicking something in the ship, "I wanna go home!"

[1] You know Zack, right??? The dude with the long, black, spiky hair in FFVII…he was supposedly the 'real' Cloud…or soldier guy…or whatever. Yeah, him! Well, 'Ando' isn't his last name. I got that last name from Die of Dir en Grey. I don't know what Zack's last name is…he probably doesn't even have one.
I told you it was a boring chapter. I PROMISE there will be a lemon in the next one! And I promise you it WILL be a juicy one! Sooo juicy, that I'm going to be banned from ff.net. Well, there's one more chapter and an epilogue left. So be patient until I get that out. Review please.
