Tidus was absolutely fuming. He walked quickly through the empty corridors of the school making his way out the building. He had picked up his back pack form his locker on his way out and was currently squeezing the straps tightly.

He finally reached the main doors and pushed them opened stepping outside. He stopped taking in a deep breath calming down a bit, he sighed. He stared up at the starry night and inhaled the cool crisp air. He walked to the steps and began descending shivering at the cool night breeze. It seemed like the days were getting much shorter and the weather was cooler, in no time at all it would be Fall.

Tidus walked slowly down the stairs and watched as a car drove by only to stop and back track stopping in front of the steps he was descending. Tidsu frowned wondering why the driver had stopped. He had a brief mental image of someone kidnapping him and had the strongest urge to turn back and run into the safety of the school. The driver's window rolled down and Tidus stopped holding his breath, he exhaled as he was presented with the face of a smiling Sora.

"Hey Tye what are you doing here?

Which was really a silly question since he could clearly see Tidus had been at practice judging by his clothes, and was now heading home. Tidus now relieved he wasn't about to be kidnapped, began moving again.

"Oh you know me I love long walks at night on an empty campus"

He said sarcastically. It seemed like he had caught up to Sora after all.

"Right. Come on I'll give you a lift"

Sora said. Tidus nodded and walked the rest of the way down walking around the front of the car opening the passenger door and slipping inside the warm interior of the car.

"Your Mom let you borrow her car?"

Tidus asked while fumbling with his seat belt. Sora grinned putting the car in gear and driving off.

"Not really, she's on a business trip and Dad doesn't really mind if I drive her car as long as I'm careful"

Tidus nodded only half listening, his mind still on the previous events between him and Squall. He wished he could just stop thinking about Squall. Squall's lips and Sqaull's hands doing

"Pleasurable things"

"Whaa!?"

Tidus screeched reeling back shifting in his seat his back now pressed against the closed door. Clearly surprised by Sora's comments, could Sora read minds? Sora was startled by Tidus's reaction and looked at the boy who was plastered to the door of his car worried for his safety he slowly moved his hand to the lock button for all doors and pressing it before answering Tidus.

"I said how do you deal with the pressure of things, you know practicing, constantly keeping up with your grades I don't know how you guys handle it."

Sora said referring to futbol, he knew what they went through staying after school for hours practicing and then coming home to do homework which could not be rushed unless they wanted to risk a bad grade which they could not afford if they wanted to stay in the team.

Tidus let out a sigh of relief, so Sora couldn't read minds that was a relief. He straighten and sat back on his seat. He looked over at Sora who was looking at him oddly, most likely for his reaction of wanting to leap out of the car. Tidus smiled and scratched the back of his head.

"I don't know. I guess it the same way you deal with the pressure of performing and memorizing your lines and hitting you marks."

Sora shrugged, Tidus was right they both did things which put extreme pressure on them, but it didn't feel that way since they loved the things they did. He turned back to Tidus who was again looking out the window with a detached look across his face. Sora frowned Tidus was quiet too queit.

"Are you okay?"

Tidus turned slowly to face Sora and gave him a small smile before nodding and turning back to stare out the window.

"You're not okay Tidus?"

Sora stated and stopped at a red light taking advantage to turn to look a this friend. Tidus's head had snapped back to Sora's comment. He was frowning a bit.

"I'm fine Sora really?"

Sora raised a brow.

"Really? Than why are you biting your nail?"

Sora asked Tidus who quickly took his thumb nail from his mouth, he hadn't even realized he had been chewing on his nail until Sora had pointed it out. Sora sighed, the light turned green.

"Come on Tidus something's bothering you. You only chew on your thumb nail when you're nervous or something's troubling you."

Sora drove and Tidus cursed his habit of chewing his nail whenever he was anxious. He looked Sora over and decided he could trust Sora. He chewed on his lip and blurted out.

"I kissed Squall"

Sora's eyes widen and he slammed on the breaks coming to another red light. Tidus's body was yanked forward, his body unable to fight the momentum. Fortunately he didn't get far as he was still strapped to the seat belt which had lock on due to the sudden halt, though leaving him with a rather unpleasant feeling on his chest of being squeezed tightly.

"You did what?"

Sora asked calmly. He was sure he hadn't heard Tidus right. Tidus rubbed his chest glaring at Sora for stopping so suddenly.

"I said I kissed Squall. Man could you not stop like that again"

So he had heard him right. Why would Tidus do that? Squall had just broken up with Cloud and was in no emotional state to kiss anyone. And in a way Sora couldn't help but feel like Squall was using Tidus to forget Cloud. He had no intention of seeing his friend get hurt by anyone.

"Tidus are you sure you should've done that? Squall did just break up with Cloud."

Tidus shook his head and groaned.

"I know. I know. I guess I don't know"

Sora looked over to his distressed friend. And another thought popped into his head. Tidus liked Squall? Well it was obvious or else Tidus wouldn't have kissed him.

"Since when have you liked him?"

Tidus shrugged.

"Green"

Sora frowned. Green? What kind of answer was that?

"What?"

Tidus pointed to the traffic light and a the car behind them honked, startling Sora.

"Light's green"

Sora glared through the rearview mirror and drove.

"I guess I liked him for a while now, but I didn't know he was going out with Cloud at the time, the day I found out about them was the day Yuffie said they had broken up"

Sora nodded listening to Tidus.

"So you didn't know about them."

Tidus shook his head and gave Sora a humorless smile.

"If I had known I would have just forgotten about him. But I didn't know, and it doesn't help when the guy acts in certain ways which makes you think he likes you ."

He said and scoffed, thinking back to the time he thought Squall was going to kiss him. Sora looked over at Tidus and before be could make a comment or ask anything Tidus continued.

"But don't worry that kiss was a one time thing. It won't happen again I'm not about to turn into anyone's rebound"

Tidus said with determination clinging to every word he had spoken. He turned back to staring out the window clearly signaling the end of their conversation.

Sora stared ahead something that had been bothering before was bothering him now, more than before. Since Cloud and Squall had broken up neither had seemed too upset but than again it was Squall and Cloud they barely showed any of their emotions. Which brought him to another point Tidus had just said he thought Squall liked him, and now he remembered the way Squall had looked rather interested in Tidus. Which brought him to more troubling questions Had Cloud's and Squall's demise been long over due? Had they just fallen out of love? Was that the reason Squall didn't seem upset? Was Squall playing around with Tidus? or did he truly feel something for him? Sora didn't have any answeres to his questions, all he knew was whatever happened between Tidus and Squall would be between them and all he could do was be there for his friend.

Sora drove into Tidus's drive way and stopped. Tidus turned to him and smiled, Sora couldn't' tell if it was a true smile or if Tidus was only putting up a front.

"Thanks for the ride. I'll see ya tomorrow"

Tidsu said unbuckling his seat belt and pulling up his back pack which he had set on the floor between his legs.

"See ya tomorrow"

Sora said as the door slammed closed and Tidus made his way to his front door, turning around and waving to Sora before stepping into his house. Sora sighed and drove home.

The doorbell rang softly inside the house a figure grumbled and stood from the floor turning the television off. The doorbell rang again. Outside the door bell was about to be rung again when the door was opened. Two brunets stared glaring at each other clearly showing their dislike for one another.

"Well what an unpleasant surprise. What the hell do you want Leaonhart?"

The brunet boy asked. Squall frowned he hadn't been expecting him to answer the door. "And what an unsightly sight you are Zachary. Is your brother home?"

Zack shrugged, ever since Cloud had introduced them when they had been going out, Zack had developed a deep dislike for Squall he didn't know why he just didn't like him. The feeling was of course mutual. He was just happy they had broken up.

"Dunno"

Zack said leaning lazily on the door frame and crossed his arms in front of his chest stating he was not about to move anytime soon. Squall grit his teeth, all he wanted to do was push the kid aside and walk in but he knew that wouldn't win him any point with Cloud. For some odd reason Cloud seemed to think the kid was the most innocent person in the face of the planet. If only he knew what a monster his brother really was.

"Lister brat I need to talk to Cloud is he home?"

Zack glared at Squall and was ready to slam the door on his face for calling him a brat. Fortunately for Squall, Cloud had heard the bell and had walked down stairs from his room to answer the door not thinking Zack would answer. He stood at the foot of the stairs ten feet from the door leaning casually on the rail.

"Yeah well I don't think he wants to talk to you"

"Zack"

Zack glared at Squall before turning to face his brother giving him a sweet smile, Squall almost gagged.

"Cloud, don't worry I'll get rid of him for you"

Cloud walked slowly towards the two brunets who only heavens knew why they disliked each other so much. He stood beside Zack and looked at Squall. Squall blinked starring at the two he could never get over how much the two look a like, the only real difference between the two was their hair color other than that they could pass off as twins. Even the two year difference they share didn't show much. As for other differences well Zack was a cocky little jerk who thought he own the world.

"That's alright, I'm sure I can handle it"

Cloud said turning to his brother who gave Squall a rather nasty glare.

"But.."

"Besides shouldn't you be practicing"

Zack mumbled something and nodded turning away from Squall heading into the house leaving Cloud and Squall alone. Cloud was surprised though he didn't show it, he had not expected Squall to show up at his door step anytime this century. He stepped back holding the door open.

"Come on in"

He said keeping his voice emotion less. Squall stepped in glad Cloud had gotten rid of Zack. Cloud closed the door once Squall was inside and proceeded to walk into the living room with Squall trailing close behind. They entered the living room through the foyer and instead of sitting down, Cloud walked to the white double doors across the living room which led to the ball room where his brother was practicing. He took a hold of the golden knobs and closed the doors.

He turned back to Squall who was standing with his hands behind his back looking rather uncomfortable. It wasn't that he looked uncomfortable, to anyone who saw him he would look almost relaxed, no Cloud did see his discomfort he felt his uneasiness. He had learned to read each and every single expression Squall had even the most miniature gesture meant something which to anyone else would have gone unnoticed.

Cloud now leaned against the closed doors feeling a bit anxious himself, and knew Squall could also feel his uneasiness. He knew Squall wanted to talk, and it was either going to be good or very bad. All he could do was wait for Squall to speak his mind.

"Cloud I... I'm sorry"

He uttered lifting his gaze from the floor to look at Cloud who was looking at him with a surprised expression. Cloud had obviously not expected an apology. Squall raked a hand through his hair and sighed.

"I'm sorry for what I said and what I did. You were right"

Squall said looking away from Cloud. He refused to look at him, afraid to see the rejection in his eyes, afraid of seeing cloud reject his apology. Cloud pushed off the doors and walked to Squall taking his chin in his hand turning his face to face him.

"I'm sorry too, but it was inevitable Squall I didn't mean to hurt you, but I realized if I let things go on it would hurt even more later on."

Squall nodded looking down at the slightly shorter teen in front of him. Squall took Clouds hand form his chin holding it in his own.

"Cloud I need to know something"

Cloud frown what could Squall possibly want to know? He thought things were rather clear now, but Squall still seemed to have doubts.

"Did you... did I do something, to give you that final push to break up with me? Something that convinced you we were no longer belonged together?"

Cloud stared at Squall for a bit. Was Squall now feeling guilty for they break up?

"Do something? I'm not sure I understand what you mean"

Squall sighed releasing Cloud's hand. Why was he beating around the bush? He had always been very forward with Cloud so, why was he not being so now? Because he was afraid of the answer that was why.

"I mean did you see me being attracted to someone else? Was that why you broke up with me? "

Cloud was silent for a while and almost smiled at Squall distress, he was the only one Squall ever lost his composure in front of. Cloud shook his head.

"No Squall. If you're thinking I broke up with you because I thought you like someone else you're wrong. The reason for out brake up was not due to you being attracted to someone else but to us no longer being attracted to one another"

Squall let out a sigh of relief before collapsing on a white sofa near him. He closed his eyes and opened them again looking up at Cloud who was looking very confused.

"Good I just I thought perhaps you had thought I was interested in someone else and you had decided to break up with me. And I just couldn't stand the thought of hurting you like that"

Cloud now sat next to Squall.

"To be honest I had my suspicions. Were you though?

He could hide the truth from Cloud and lie to him, but why do that? It was better to get everything out in the open to clear the slate and start anew.

"At the time I wasn't sure but I suppose I was. Though I wouldn't have acted on it I could never have done that to you Cloud"

Cloud nodded.

"If you had in fact realized you had feelings for someone else would you have broken up with me to pursue them?'

Squall shook his head.

"No"

Cloud was taken a back by his answer. Did that mean Squall would have cheated on him?

"I' would probably have just denied my feelings. Just like I had been denying the fact we were growing apart. Why? Because the thought of not being with you scared me. Cloud you're the only one I can truly say I trust unconditionally, you're the only one who understands you're the only one who has always been there for me and I guess I thought that you not being my partner meant you not being my friend that's why I was fighting every feeling that told me we were growing apart. I just didn't want to lose you."

Cloud looked at Squall who was staring at him, his eyes completely open and vulnerable showing everything he felt. Showing Cloud everything he said was true.

"Squall"

Cloud whispered.

"Please tell me I haven't lost your friendship, I can handle not having you as my boyfriend, but what really hurts is thinking I no longer have you as a friend"

Cloud took a stray lock of Squall's hair and tucked it behind his ear, letting his hands slid along the side of Squall's face caressing him gently.

"Remeber what I said to you when we broke up. I told you when you realized what I had realized I would be happy to have your friendship and meant that Squall"

Squall smiled, Cloud still wanted his friendship. Cloud was still his friend the amount of relief he felt could never be measured in words. Squall pulled Cloud into a tight hug squeezing his eyes tightly trying to fight with tears. He was happy to know he hadn't lost his best friend. He pulled away to see Cloud smiling at him.

"So we're okay than?"

Cloud nodded and closed his eyes momentarily distracted listening to the sound drifting form the close ballroom door. He loved listening to his brother play . Zack was playing The Four Seasons on his violin. Squall also listen feeling himself relax with the soft music.

"It's beautiful"

Cloud said opening his eyes. Squall nodded a bit a maze at how that little monster could produce such wonderful sounds. The sweet soft sound suddenly changed to a more speedy melody sounding as if Zack was mercilessly grinding the bow to the cords though no less beautiful. Just more aggressive.

"What is that?"

Squall asked hearing the change. Cloud smile and shook his head.

"The devil's trill"

Squall raised a brow. How fitting he thought.

"Squall?"

Cloud said turning his attention back to Squall,

"Hmm"

"You're like a brother to me and I love you as such and I want you to know no matter with I will always be there for you"

Squall smiled feeling suddenly like he could do anything. Cloud never said things like that so when he did it meant he meant each and every single word.

"And I for you"

"Riku!"

Sora yelled stumbling inside of Riku's bedroom through the opened window. As soon as he had gotten home he had dashed up his bedroom and to the window never once did it register in his mind it would have just been much easier to knock on Riku's house. What he found however was not Riku but Riku's mom putting away Riku's laundry.

"Sora?"

She said frozen in the motion of closing Riku's closet. To say she was surprised was an understatement. She had never known the boys used that tree to climb into each other's rooms the thought had never occurred to her.

"Uh hi Mrs. Meneke"

Sora said feeling a bit awkward. Riku had told him he had told his parents about them, but Sora had yet to tell his parents and now Standing in the Riku's room with his mom looking at him in a very surprised way. Sora couldn't help but blush at all the things that must have been passing through her head.

Mrs. Meneke fortunately stopped those thoughts, she trusted her son and Sora. She smiled at the blushing boy and gave a little chuckled.

"Is Riku home?"

Sora asked looking down at the floor looking like he had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Better my hand be caught inside the cookie jar than elsewhere Sora thought getting mental pictures of Riku and where in his body that elsewhere could be. Sora almost yelped pushing that thought away.

"I believe he is in the weight room."

Sora's head snapped up and he gave her a confused stare. The weight room? Why would Riku be in there?

"Thanks"

He said and dashed out of Riku's bedroom and away from the embarrassing situation. Sora walked down the hall climbing down the stairs and turning left into another hallway opening the closed door which led to the weight room.

"Riku!"

Sora yelled again as soon as he entered the room. Riku having finished his run was now only walking on the treadmill and stopped it when he saw his boyfriend enter the room. He smiled at Sora Riku was panting slightly still catching his breath. Sora walked to him and stepped onto the treadmill in front of him grabbing two handfuls of Riku's black t-shirt and burying his face in Riku chest.. Riku only blinked wondering what was wrong with Sora?

"Eww you're sweaty"

Sora said pulling away resting his back and elbows on the control panel. Riku grinned and leaned down placing a quick kiss on Sora's cheek.

"What's wrong with you"

"You're mom saw me come through the window"

Sora said in a small voice looking down at the band of the treadmill, a small blush gracing his cheeks. Riku chuckled and Sora looked up to glare at him.

"It's not funny Riku. That was embarrassing you should've seen her face. Can you imagine what she must be thinking now that she know we use the tree to climb into each others bedroom especially since she know we're together"

Sora groaned and again buried his face in Riku's chest, trying to hide his embarrassment. He felt Riku's chest vibrate and he knew the other was laughing. He pulled away to confirm his suspicion.

"Riku!"

"Sora it's no big deal my Mom's cool, she won't even mention it again. I promise, besides its not like we actually do anything. Though that could be arranged."

Sora blushed at what Riku was suggesting. Though he still wasn't ready for that, and Riku knew and he knew Riku was only joking. Sora rolled his eyes and leaned back against the control panel.

"Fine lets see how you act when my mother catches you climbing through my window and I assure you she'll definitely think you're there to molest her baby."

Riku laughed paling a bit.

"Have you even told them?"

Sora looked away looking guilty.

"Sora, why? Are you afraid they won't accept us? I thought your parents were okay with you being gay?"

Sora looked back at Riku with what he could only describe as a pout.

"They are, its just well when I told them I was gay, lets just say the sex talk was way more embarrassing. I mean they actually took me to a doctor so he could explain everything properly and I mean everything about being safe and all risks and it was embarrassing since said doctor was my uncle. It was horrible"

He said letting out an exasperated fake sob throwing his arms dramatically around Riku's neck hugging him tightly. Riku held him with his only good arm and shook his head.

"So you're just afraid they'll give you the talk again."

Sora shook his head not pulling away from Riku.

"Nope they're going to give you the talk"

"What!?"

Sora pulled back and laughed at Riku's horror struck expression. Riku glared at him.

"I'm just kidding. I will tell them I promise, its just that I have to get them in the same room for longer than ten minutes. My dad just got back from a business trip and my mom took off in another."

Riku nodded. Sora frowned seeing Riku trying to reach into his cast with his finger.

"What are you doing?"

Riku glared down at his cast which was now decorated by get well's, little caricatures, signatures even flowers and hearts, how Selphie had managed to do that with out him noticing was beyond him. At the moment he was too busy trying to scratch his arm to really care.

"It's itchy"

Riku said miserably, but instead of finding sympathy from his boyfriend Sora punched his good arm. Riku blinked at the glaring Sora.

"Why are you even exercising with your arm still like that? You could get hurt even more"

Sora scolded. Riku tried not to pout.

"Its okay I went to see Gabriel today and I asked him if it was okay to at least run and he said it was fine. And how can I not? I don't want my muscles going slack from lack of activity. I don't want to have to get back in shape once I'm okay. Besides I'm careful I don't want to hurt my self even more that would further prolong my return to my dear, dear sport"

He said wiping away at an invisible tear from the corner of his eyes placing his hand on chest over his heart. Sora giggled at the action and wrapped his arms around Riku's neck, kissing his jaw.

"So how did your rehearsal go?"

Riku asked shifting his head to kiss Sora's neck which he knew was his weak spot. Sora's eyes began to flutter close at the gentle ministration and he fought to make words come out of his mouth.

"Okay"

Than he remembered why he wanted to see Riku in the first place he gasped and pulled away from Riku.

"Now I remember what I wanted to tell you. Tidus told me he kissed Squall"

Riku sighed and pulled Sora back to him again continuing his exploration of the other's neck.

"Good for them"

Sora shivered and felt his knees going weak. Trying again to think clearly.

"But Riku, Squall just broke up with Cloud and ahh what if he's just using Tye"

Riku pulled up for a second to look down at Sora. He smiled and kissed the tip of his nose.

"You worry to much. Tidus is a big boy, he knows what he's doing, Rah"

He said and kissed Sora's lips and his jaw again going back to the neck. Sora was having a very hard time thinking, what Riku said made sense but why wasn't Riku more worried? And why was he so worried? He was trying to remember why he was so concern for Tidus but at the moment he couldn't think to well when Riku's tongue was swirling deliciously behind his ear lobe.

Riku had his left arm around him his hand supporting him on the small of his back pulling Sora to him. Sora had thrown his head back giving Riku full access to his neck, while his back rested against the control panel and his hands gripped tightly at the side bars to keep from collapsing. Riku suckled Sora's neck and pulled away licking the spot blowing lightly on it smirking at the mark he had left there and delved in again, making Sora shiver.

"Riku"

Sora said straightening up tangling his hands in Riku's hair.

"I can't think straight when you're doing that to me"

Riku pulled up and Sora's hands fell around his neck. Riku was smiling at him. He loved the way Sora looked with that glazed unfocused stare.

"Oh than I better continue, don't want you thinking that way"

He said and waited for his words to sink into Sora. Sora frowned and than his eys widen catching the double meaning in his own words. Thinking straight, Sora giggled.

"You have a point"

He said and leaned forward kissing Riku's lips forgetting all about Tidus's and Sqaull's dilemma all he cared about was Riku and Riku's tongue playing with his.

Cardel: Gah, that was interesting. I just want to tell you guys that Riku and Sora are the main pairing here though we might have to shift focus once in a while.

Damak: Aww they're so cute together.

Jin: Sure enjoy it now.

Cardel: So any way we are far from done with Riku and Sora they still have quite a few bumps in their relationship before smooth sailing.

Demak: U_U Yes they do, but for now we're giving them a break.

Cardel: Yeah I mean come on almost ten chapters of angst for those two I think they deserve a break. Oh and Zack was cameo a rather OOC cameo he's from FFVII by the way and I made him Cloud's little bratty brother (laughs insanely) Muahhahaa

Jin: Whatever you guys are sappy.

Cardel: And happy hey that rhymed any way I just saw the "Deep Dive" movie and it was awesome and that thing that Riku says in the end ahh can't wait for the second KH. Well don't forget to review. Laters
