Sora smiled at Cloud yet he couldn't see it. The mark had grown top his face and upper body. Cloud looked at his younger brother as he sat in the living room of an apartment they had rented. He was going to keep Riku away at all costs. He would even kill him if it resorted to that. Cloud watched his younger brother as he fell asleep. He had to thank Leon partly for helping him with his plan. It hurt him to make Sora go through pain but it was the only way to make Sora want to stay away from the boy. He watched as Sora's chest fell then rose in a fitful sleep. It had been a couple of weeks and they were getting no results. Hopefully it would go away soon and they could go back. Yet Cloud was unsure of if he really wanted to go back to where it could all start again. He stood up quietly and walked the kitchen for his keys. He was going to meet Leon at a local bar for information.
When he entered the bar he immediately spotted the brunette. He sat across from him at one of the many tables. "Anything about Riku's mark?" he asked a little after he sat down. "It hasn't appeared since that night. What about Sora?" he asked. "Nothings happened. He still is black on his entire top half. I'm about to give up. There's nothing that can cure it." Cloud answered. Leon looked at him with narrowed eyes. "We can't give up just yet. We have to try something else. Maybe taking him away was the wrong thing to do. Maybe he has to be by the one he has lust for but not allow him to fulfill it." Leon said as he watched Cloud's reaction to his words. Cloud sighed and gave him a menacing look. Finally he nodded with a sigh. "I guess we can try it. But if he gives into it I'm allowed to kill Riku." Cloud said. Leon hesitated before nodding in agreement. "I will bring him back tomorrow." He said before getting up and walking out. He really didn't want to do this.
Sora sat up when he heard keys being put into the lock from the outside of the door. Cloud walked in and closed the door behind. He looked annoyed. "Hurry up and pack your bags. We're going back in the morning." Cloud said in a gruff voice. Sora obeyed without asking a single question. It didn't take him long before he was done. He sat back down on the couch and watched as Cloud set his bag down by the door. He wanted to ask Cloud about the reason for leaving but he knew better. Cloud looked over at his brother. It made him sad whenever he saw the black face with red eyes like a heartless. It reminded him of the battles against them. He sometimes even got thought of killing him before he remembered he was his brother and not some heartless. Cloud saw the question in his younger brother's red eyes. He sighed and leaned back on the couch. "Fine, I'll tell you why we're going back tomorrow. We're going to try something different. The only thing is that you can't give into your lust urges ok?" he asked. Sora nodded quickly. He looked down at his feet and furrowed his brow. He hoped he wouldn't give in. Riku was really hard to say no to. He wasn't sure he could do it.
Riku looked at Leon as he explained some simple rules for him for when Sora came back. He understood the rules perfectly and was tired of Leon making sure he knew them as if he was his father. "I get it Leon. Don't try anything or else Cloud'll kill me. I know so stop repeating it." Riku said in a bored voice. Leon stopped speaking and looked at Riku with anger in his eyes. "You better do those things or else I'm not going to try and protect you when Cloud gets angry." Leon said. "I can take him." Riku said. "Don't you even try it Riku or I'll kill you myself." Leon said as he stood up. Riku waved a hand to signal he understood and watched him as he walked to the door. He wasn't very happy. This wasn't going to be easy. Two boys who couldn't resist each other no matter what the situation living in the same house with restricted rules about their lust? He had never heard of such a thing. But then again, he had never heard of the marks being able to take over a human who heart was as strong as the seven princesses' of heart put together. He sighed as he heard the door open and two people enter their house for the first time in weeks. He thought about how hard it was going to be as they entered the kitchen.
Um...what do you think? Bad, good?
