Chapter 3
(Sora's POV)
"Sora, are you awake?" My dream was over, I tried not to wake up but I wanted to learn more about that strange dream I had. For some weird reason that dream scared me, it was as if I knew what heart they were talking about.
"Sora." That voice, it sounded so familiar. Finally giving up, I opened my eyes and found myself in bed, with Aerith by my bedside.
"Oh good you're finally awake."
"Where…where am I?" I said as I looked around
"You're in Cloud's apartment."
"Cloud's apartment? How did I get here?"
"Cloud found you in a ball of dar"
"Aerith that's enough." Leon cut Aerith off from finishing her sentence.'Found in a ball of what?' I thought to myself.
"Anyway, Cloud found you injured and brought you here."
"I see" I tried to get it up but my body felt too heavy.
"You really shouldn't try to get up. You're badly injured."
"I'm OK." I said in a groan and landed back onto the bed. I tried to get up again and I heard my stomach give out a loud rumble as blush was placed upon my face.
"Judging from the sound of your stomach I'd say you're hungry. I really don't blame you. You were out for 3 whole days. Would you like something to eat?"
"Uh, yes please." I said in an embarrassed tone.
"I'll be right back. Leon make sure Sora doesn't try to get up again."
"Sure." I was left with Leon to watch over me. I felt like a three-year-old.
"Three whole days! Have I've been out that long?" I said in a shock tone
"Yes."
" No wonder I'm so hungry." I heard Leon laugh at my response
"It's been a while since the last time you've visited."
"Yeah I know."
" I take it all the worlds are at peace now."
"I hope so."
"What happen to Donald and Goofy?"
"After our final battle they went home with the king."
"I see. So I take it you were able to find those friends of yours you were looking for?"
"There… fine." I couldn't help but look away as I answered Leon's question. I was hoping to forget that memory but I guess I was wrong.
-----------------------------------------
(Normal POV)
" Now what should I make for Sora? I guess I'll make him my specialty." Aerith started her cooking when the front door was opened.
"Oh your finally back. Where have you been?" Aerith said in a curious tone
"Out."
" I see. Well if you stay a little longer I can make you supper."
"No thanks, I'm fine."
"Very well."
"By the way how is he?"
" Huh, oh you mean Sora? He's finally a wake but still weak. He can barley support his body. If you don't mind he'll have to stay here for a while. Moving him might reopen some of his wounds."
"That's fine with me."
"Why don't you say hi? I'm sure he'll be glad to see you. Cloud? Cloud? Now where did he run off to?"
Cloud walked towards the room that Sora was resting in. Cloud wasn't ready to be noticed yet so he leaned on the doorway while listening to Sora's conversation.
"I see. So I take it you were able to find those friends of yours you were looking for?"
"There… fine." Cloud caught Sora's face, noticing how Sora's eyes started to fill with sorrow. It was as if he wanted to cry.
"Are you just gonna stand there and stare at him without even saying hello? Are you even listening to me? Cloud. CLOUD!" Leon noticed his blond friend's appearance and approached him trying to get his attention for the thousandth time. Punching him sounded like a good idea to Leon but decided that he wasn't in the mood for a fight so he thought shouting was the next best thing.
"Ahh what the fuck Leon! God if you wanted to get my attention all you had to do was talk to me not shout." Shouted Cloud as he was snapped out of his thoughts from Leon
"Yeah whatever. Anyway, don't you think your being kinda rude? Yeah how about saying hello to your guest and your friend."
"Friend what friend? Oh you mean the one with the really big mouth who wont shut the hell up." Sora giggled at Cloud's description of Leon.
"Bastard I'll remember that. Your lucky I'm not about to kick your ass right about now."
"Oh wow I'm spared. Thank you god."
" Oh yeah I am so kicking your ass the next time I see you. Anyway, I really love to stay but I have to go. I'll see you later Sora."
"Where are you going?" Sora asked
"Yuffie needs my help with something."
"OK. Bye Leon. Tell Yuffie I said hi."
"I will and try not to over due your body. Remember you're too weak to do anything. So for now try to get some rest. Later Sora. Later jackass."
"Later. HEY I CAUGHT THAT! LEON GET BACK HERE!" Shouted Cloud
"I take it from all the shouting Leon has left." Aerith approached the room Sora was currently staying in
"Yeah." Answered Cloud
"Well if you two will excuse me."
"Where are you going Aerith?" Asked Cloud
"I'm gonna go over to the moogle shop to see if they have any potions that can help Sora recover faster. There's food already made in the kitchen if you want some. I'll come by tomorrow to check on you Sora."
"OK." Answered Sora
"Now Cloud please make sure Sora stays in bed."
"I will."
"Take care." Aerith left Cloud's apartment and left the two boys alone
"Does Aerith come by a lot?" Asked Sora
"Yeah she does that every once in a while. She does that to make sure that I'm taking care of myself and other stuff like that. It can be annoying sometimes but you learn to get use to it. Anyway, sorry I didn't say hi to you earlier. I guess I got a little distracted there."
"That's OK. I hope I wont be a bother to you Cloud."
"Nah you won't. To be honest it'll be kinda nice to have some company."
"Do you live here all alone?"
"Pretty much."
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"Thank you for saving me." A blush was placed on Cloud's face.
"Don't mention it. Its not like I was gonna leave you there to die. I'm not that mean. Anyway, since it's the weekend I don't have to work. Just to let you know, I work during the week so I take it I can trust you not to do anything to hurt yourself now can I? If anything were to happen to you Aerith would kick my ass if I didn't do my job."
"Don't worry I'll be OK."
"Oh and before I forget. Here."
"What's this?" Sora grabbed a piece a paper Cloud had showed to him
"It's my cell number. Use it whenever you need to get a hold of me."
"I will."
"Right across your room is my bedroom. If you need me I'll be in there if not I'll be in the office which is to the left of my room. Don't be afraid to ask me for anything. This is pretty much your apartment to."
"I won't"
"Anyway, Aerith left us some food. Would you like any?"
"Yes please."
"Stay here. I'll serve you some food."
"Oh…OK"
'Now I feel kinda of guilty making Cloud do all this stuff for me. Note to self; try not to take advantage of Cloud. Wait a minute that sounds kinda perverted. Oh god Sora get your head out of the gutter.'
"Here." Cloud handed a plate of food to find the brunette trying to get comfortable
"Uh, thanks."
"Can you move?"
"I don't think so."
"Then I guess I'll have to feed you."
"Wh-what? No you don't have to." Sora started to blush.
"It looks like the only way for you to eat. And Aerith said for you not to move as much."
Cloud started to gather some spaghetti.
"Here, open wide."
"O…OK" Sora slowly opened his mouth.
'This is weird. Here I am in Cloud's apartment with him feeding me. Why is my heart beating so fast?'
"Is it good?"
"Yes. Very good."
"Yeah Aerith can be a very good cook."
'I feel like a little kid.' Sora thought. Mouth full after mouth full Sora had finished all of his food.
"Wow that was really good. I guess I really was hungry."
"Looks like you got more on your face then in your mouth. Here whip your face off."
"Heh I tend to do that a lot." Sora grabbed a napkin to whip his face
"Um you missed a spot."
"Really? Where?"
"Right there." Cloud pointed to a spot of food on Sora's face
"Did I get it now?" Said Sora as he cleaned his face again
"Nope its still there."
"Did I get it now?"
"Here let me get it." Cloud moved in real close to Sora's face and licked up some of the spaghetti sauce that was handing at the corner of Sora's mouth. Sora's face started to turn five shades of red.
"Now it's gone." Sora just sat there speechless.
"Knowing Aerith she probably made desert as well. Would you like some to?"
"Uh yes please."
"I'll be right back."
"Sure."
'Oh my god! What on Earth just happen? It almost looked like Cloud was gonna kiss me. Please tell me he's not gonna feed me again. I don't think I can take any more of this special treatment.'
----------------------------------------------------
After desert Sora decided to catch up on more of his sleep since he still felt tired. Cloud was in the living room on the couch watching TV until he started to feel a little sleepy himself. Cloud made his way to his own room but made a quick stop to Sora's room to check on him.
'He looks so peaceful. Almost like a little kid. But even in your sleep you look so sad. What aren't you telling me Sora?'
Cloud watched the sleeping keyblade wielder for a few more seconds and went to his room to sleep.
--------------------------------------------------
"Where am I?"
"This heart has been lead to a tragic fate."
"That voice. Am I dreaming again?" Said Sora
"Once whole but now turn into shattered pieces. If one were to find these shattered pieces all would be solved. "
"These pieces you were talking about, what are they?"
"These pieces are what makes this heart into light. Without them this heart would be incomplete."
"Please tell me what theses pieces are. I need to know."
"These pieces are a person."
"A person?"
"This person can help this heart gain back its missing pieces."
"Who?"
"…It's…"
"No wait! Don't go! I need to know!"
