Squall just stared at Cloud. "I guess I have no choice then," he said looking up to where Riku had disappeared with Sora. "Anyways I don't want to leave Sora along with that idiot for too long, so let's go."

"That idiot happens to be my best friend," Cloud responded angrily. "And I would appreciate it if you wouldn't speak about him like that. You don't know anything about him."

"You just said he was a pervert."

"Yes, he is. But he wouldn't do anything to Sora. He's not like that." He walked over to the backpack with the files in it and picked it up off the pavement.

"Whatever," Squall said. He crossed his arms across his chest and glared at Cloud. "Just take me to your village."

"Yeah, just a second," Cloud said. He pulled off his cape and neatly folded it into the backpack. He then walked over and held it out for Squall. "Put this on."

"Why do I have to carry it?" Squall asked, looking down at the object Cloud offered him.

"Well, I could carry it," Cloud smirked. "But then we'd have to walk to my village and that would take about two weeks, and who knows what horrible perverted things Riku could do to Sora in that amount of time."

Squall glared harder at Cloud as he snatched the backpack from Cloud's grasp and put it on.

"Now that that's settled, we fly."

"What," Squall frowned, "you're going to carry me like Riku did to Sora?"

"Unless you magically sprout wings in the next few minutes, then yes. Did you think I would be able to snap my fingers and we'd teleport at my house?"

"Something like that," Squall replied.

"Fairies don't have that kind of abilities," Cloud said. "Only Pixies do."

"For someone who's afraid of Pixies, you sure do talk about them a lot."

"Will you stop saying that word," Cloud hissed. He roughly grabbed hold of Squall and pulled him quickly up into the air and around the corner. As soon as they landed on a windowsill around the corner, there were two loud popping noises, and Cloud shoved Squall against the window. His hand had once again found it's way to Squall's mouth and he motioned for him not to make a sound.

There was the sound of movement and clothes rustling around the corner. Cloud frowned and unconsciously pressed his body closer against Squall's.

"He was here," a voice said; Cloud flinched.

"Who was, Sephiroth," a second voice asked.

"Cloud," Sephiroth replied. "I know he was. I can recognize his scent anywhere."

"Isn't he that gorgeous Fairy that you were going out with?"

"Yes, that was Cloud. And I will make him mine again."

Cloud flinched again. He definitely did not like the tone of Sephiroth's voice.

"Whatever man," the other Pixie said. "He's not here now so let's go back. Didn't Edea have some more jobs for you to do?"

"I can never get rid of that stupid girl," Sephiroth replied. There was a moment of silence, followed by two more popping sounds.

Cloud let out the breath he didn't know he was holding and allowed himself to slide down the glass to land on his butt.

"Those were Pixies," Squall asked, looking down at Cloud.

"Worse," Cloud said and glanced up at Squall. "It was their two leaders."

"Whatever," Squall said, crossing his arms once again. "Can we just get out of here so nothing happens to Sora?"

"Yeah, alright," Cloud responded annoyed. "Just don't summon another Pixie, because you can't protect Sora if you're dead."

"They'd kill me?" Squall asked surprised.

"Sephiroth would. Especially if he found us in the position we were just in."

Cloud blushed thinking about how close he was to Squall. He blushed even more when he realized that he didn't mind being that close to him, and that he wanted to do it again. He remembered he'd get another chance, and soon, because he still had to fly Squall to his village.

"Right," he reminded himself. "Back to the village."

"That would be nice," Squall said.

Without warning Cloud grabbed Squall again and lifted him up into the air towards his village; he was blushing the entire way there.
