Riku watched as Cloud and Sora entered the kitchen. He saw a flicker of emotion enter Sora's eyes before they showed nothing. He thought it was anger. He looked down at the table he was sitting at and didn't look back up till the pair had left to go to their rooms. He stood up and walked to the living room and sat down on the couch. He tried to place all his attention on the program on television but his eyes kept wandering over to the doorway. Soon, Cloud, Sora, and Leon came in and sat down with him. Sora sat farthest away from Riku but Riku noticed that his eyes kept glancing over to him. This really was going to be hard to do. Cloud caught the looks between the two boys and gave one of the fiercest glares that Riku had ever seen. It sent a shiver down his back and he kept his attention away from the boy. He thought he caught a look that passed between Cloud and Leon before both men stood up and left them by themselves. Riku's brow furrowed at the question of why they left them alone when they knew how they felt about each other. He let his eyes glance at Sora who was trying his best not to let emotions take him.
Leon leaned against the wall and watched as Cloud glanced into the living room. "Why are we doing this again?" Leon asked. Cloud looked at him. "To see if they'll actually listen to us. Maybe the mark will go away soon." He said. "Besides, you've noticed how they keep glancing at each other. If they control themselves then we might get results." Cloud said as he leaned against the wall opposite of Leon. Leon watched him as he glanced again at the pair. He pushed himself off the wall with his shoulder and walked over beside Cloud. "Don't you ever get tired of this? I think we should just go to Merlin and get it all done and over with." Leon said as he continued to watch Cloud. Cloud turned his blue eyes toward him. "Merlin would do all these tests that could end up hurting Sora. I won't let him do that. Besides, he's a crazy old bat." He said still facing him. Leon looked at him before smiling. "You're right about that. But that still doesn't mean we shouldn't get better help." He said. Cloud narrowed his eyes. "We've dealt with this before so we can deal with it again. We've probably got the most experience with the heartless." He said. "Yeah but this time it's different. Riku can't save Sora this time. He can hurt him this time. You really want to take that chance?" he asked. Cloud was silent but his eyes were shouting with anger at Leon's logic. Cloud walked up closer to him and was in his face before he spoke again. "I'm only trying to help my little brother. That's it." He said. Leon smiled before surprising Cloud by pressing his mouth to Cloud's. Cloud tried to pull away but Leon had somehow pinned him to the wall. When Leon finally pulled away Cloud was panting.
"You've been hanging out too much with Riku." he said. Leon smirked. "You're the one who left me here alone with him while you went with Sora." He said. "So does this mean you and Riku are going to hook up anytime soon?" Cloud asked. Leon laughed. "No. It's apparent he loves Sora and besides, I'm not interested in him." He said. He glued their mouths together to prove his point. Their tongues became active, Cloud no longer resisting but becoming active. Leon started pressing Cloud against the wall with his body instead of his hands. Cloud grabbed onto Leon's hair as Leon grabbed onto Cloud's. They started moving their hips slowly. Leon deepened the kisses. He slowly started moving them both towards Cloud's room without him noticing. He started moving their hips faster making Cloud buck. He stopped for a minute to pull Cloud into his room and close the door. They completely forgot about the two boys still in the living room.
Riku glanced at Sora for the millionth time. He could tell Sora was trying hard not to look at him. He looked down at his feet and tried to make conversation. "So, uh, what's been happening?" he asked. He kept his attention down at his feet. He felt that question was really stupid to ask. "Um, nothing, I guess." Sora answered just as dumbly. Riku thought for a minute before speaking again. "You, um, okay?" he asked. Sora mumbled a small fine before allowing the silence to settle again. Sora started laughing quietly. Riku looked up at him. "What's so funny?'' he asked. "How serious we're being. We're not usually like this. We're getting all stiff and junk just because of some mark!" he said as his laughter grew. Riku started laughing too. They really weren't acting like themselves. Riku stood up and walked over to Sora. Sora looked up at him with his red eyes. Riku still hadn't gotten used to them. Hopefully he wouldn't have to. "Yes?" Sora asked, laughter still ringing in his voice. Riku smiled at him before speaking. "I'm sorry." He said. Sora slowly stopped laughing and looked back up at him. "For what?" he asked. "For making your mark grow. And for making you feel like I used you just to get my mark off." He said now looking at the floor. Sora smiled an amused smile at him. "It's ok. I wanted to do it anyway. And I should have realized you did that out of love instead of evil purposes." He said. "You wanted your mark to grow?" Riku asked with a stupid look on his face. "No!" Sora said as he hit Riku on the side of the head. The two boys began laughing again. "But it will take a while for my trust to be regained." He said. Riku nodded. He knew what was needed.
Sorry it took longer than usual to send in this chapter. I had writer's block but while I was watching the Soccer Fifa World Cup I got inspiration. Wierd isn't it?
