This took me a while to type. Many of my readers told me they thought it had ended in the third chapter…..I guess that was my bad…

oooooooooooooooooooooo

Cloud woke up early the next morning. He looked around the room and saw Leon sleeping peacefully on a chair beside him. Cloud smiled at the sight. Who ever thought the unemotional statue of Leon could look so peaceful. Cloud stared at him for a few more minutes until coming across with the scar on his forehead. Suddenly, the events of the night before filled his head and guilt overflowed inside him. Cloud stood up and exited the room, making his way to the top of the Gizmo Shop, which was connected to Aerith's.

As he made his way to the top, he felt as if he was being followed.

"Why are you following me?" Cloud stopped in front of the railing of the roof.

"Just checking that you aren't attempting to commit suicide or something" answered Leon emerging from a door.

"Hmm…I see. I'm guessing you don't trust me anymore, then?" Cloud asked as he sat on the railing.

"I do trust you. I just want to make sure you're safe…and don't sit there! It's dangerous!" Leon said approaching Cloud.

"Oh so you mean I can't do this either?" Cloud said standing up on top of the railing, trying hard to retain his balance.

"No. Now stop it…you'll give me a heart attack."

With that, Cloud slipped backwards. Leon ran to him and grabbed his hand. The torn, black angel wing emerged from Cloud's back, keeping him levitated in mid-air. Cloud and Leon were still holding hands.

"We wouldn't want that now would we?" Cloud said smiling.

"Don't do that again!" Leon pulled Cloud by the hand a little more rough than what he had expected, consequently Cloud crashed into him, knocking him over.

"What are you two doing?" Yuffie asked smiling, eyeing their position.

Cloud lay on top of Leon, who lay sprawled on the ground. Both of Cloud's hands were supporting his weight at either side of Leon's head. Their faces half an inch apart.

"I knew you two were all-the-way-gay!" Yuffie said winking.

Cloud looked down at Leon and saw he was blushing. Then the unimaginable happened.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Cloud burst out laughing, falling off of Leon and into the hard pavement. (Gotcha . )

"Can this be? Is Cloud Strife actually laughing?" Yuffie asked confused.

"AHAHAHA! LEON'S BLUSHING! HAHAHA!" Cloud said between laughs, clutching his chest painfully because of all the laughing.

"Blushing, you say?" Leon asked, moving over to Cloud, who was standing up. "I'll show you blushing!" Without thinking Leon went over to Cloud and pinned him to the wall. With their faces barely inches apart, Leon regained his sanity and let Cloud go, but not before noticing that Cloud was blushing.

"Ahem…I'm still here" Yuffie said giggling. "Common, lover boys. Aerith's waiting" Yuffie said, putting her hands on her hips and heading back to the house, followed closely by Cloud and Leon.

"Made you blush…" Leon muttered.

"Na ah!" Cloud voiced indignantly.

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Whatever you say, Cloudy-boy"

"……..meany" Cloud huffed.

oooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Where have you been?"

"We were-"

"You had me worried sick!"

"We're so-"

"You could have left a note or told me or-"

"AERITH! Calm down! They were just on top of the Gizmo Shop! They're old enough to go there alone, don't you think? Leon's 22, Cloud's 21 and you're 20, need I say more?" Yuffie said, trying to calm Aerith down.

"But…I was worried…" Aerith pouted.

"It's alright, we were fine. Nothing bad can happen if we're both there" Cloud said reassuringly.

Aerith's face lit up as an idea came to her mind. Looking very proud of herself she announced, "From now on you will use the buddy system!"

"………."

"Yup, that's right, the buddy system! Leon you take Cloud. Take care of him and vice versa"

"…..sure…..I'll just go to the bathroom then…." Leon answered confusedly.

"Ahem…what about Cloud?"

"What about Cloud?" Cloud and Leon both answered inquiringly.

"Don't you have to take him too?" Aerith asked tapping her foot on the floor.

"It's the bathroom! And why doesn't Yuffie have a buddy?" Leon asked.

"Yuffie? Please! She can take care of herself!" Aerith laughed. "But fine, take him everywhere except the bathroom…well, unless you wanted to…"

"Whatever, I'll just go now" Leon said while exiting the small house.

Aerith kept tapping her foot. Cloud followed Leon.

"Finally, a decent rule around here! Oh Aerith, what will you think of next?" Aerith said pampering herself.

Woo! Writer's block is gone!

For those of you who thought the story was over….It's not….and it still isn't! I've still got a few more chapters in my head to go.

Thank you for those who have reviewed!
