Chapter one First Meetings

Sighing an emerald eyed boy dropped heavily onto a bench at the airport waiting area. It had been quite a shock for him to wake up Monday morning and find out that his parents had 'Mysteriously' died on their Sunday night date. They always went out on Sunday night and came home about two in the morning, so Harry had no need to stay up and wait. He also didn't worry that they didn't call about ten to check in, after all it wouldn't have been the first time they had forgotten. This time was different, they weren't coming back and after the funeral Sirius and Remus had told him that his brother had become his guardian.

'I don't even remember having a brother.' Harry thought as he waited, His normal overly timid expression never changing. Harry looked around again for someone who fit the description Sirius had given him but it was no use there was no one there who looked like Squall.

All Harry had been told was that Squall Leonhart was his older brother by twelve years, which made the guy twenty-three or twenty-four. Harry had been four when he had last seen his brother and couldn't remember even that.

Harry had been so lost in thought that he missed the entrance of a blue-eyed brunette with a scar acrossed his face. The man looked around and as his eyes' fell on Harry he knew immediately that this was his brother. Harry sat timidly on the bench so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice his brother standing twenty feet away. Without a second thought the man moved in four business like strides to stand in front of Harry who had yet to take notice of his presence. It took Harry three or four minutes to realize that someone was standing in front of him which caused him to tense. Slowly Harry raised his head to look into the eyes of the man that stood before him. Harry didn't know whether he should try and run or ask if this was Squall because from the description no matter how vague still matched. Luckily he didn't have to because the man spoke first.

"Harry right?" he said it simply. Harry nodded still not believing.

"I'm Squall." The blue-eyed man said in a much lighter tone.

Squall was relieved to see Harry relaxes after he introduced himself. It was amazing, Squall thought. 'Harry looks so much like our father, it's uncanny.'

"You ready to go?" Squall asked. Harry just nodded and grabbed his bag before fallowing Squall to his car outside.

Harry, though a normally quiet person was rather apprehensive about this. He wasn't to sure what his brother was like, not that he was all that sure of finding out. Harry was a bit terrified at the prospect of Squall being like his aunt and uncle. After Harry put his stuff in the trunk he got into the passenger set next to Squall as tense as ever though trying to hide it as best he could. Squall who was more perceptive then Harry gave him credit for picked up on it right away.

"You're nervous." The blunt statement caused harry to jump and turn his head toward his brother who was still staring at the road. "How . . . ?" Harry trailed off not really sure what was ment by the statement or if Squall ment anything by it. All his brother did was nod his head foward then reiterated "You're nervous."

Harry frowned. Not only had Squall not elaborated, he also had not looked at him or given a tone of voice which made it very difficult to figure out what his older brother ment or was thinking. Squall sighed as he realized Harry wasn't going to answer.

"Why?" He questioned Eyes never turning towards his brother. Understanding passed through Harry like a lighting bolt.

Bitting his lip Harry debated on how to answer. He could say exactly what was on his mind and tell Squall he barely remembered him or he could just shrug and ignore the question in favor of silence. He did know one thing about his older brother now though, Squall was blunt, to the point, strait foward, and direct.

Seeing his brothers hesitation Squall sighed and pulled the car over. Putting the car in neutral he turned to look at Harry who was more then a little unnerved now. Looking strait into Harry's eyes Squall Said "Whats wrong?" Only to surprise himself at how calm and gentle his voice sounded.

Not knowing what else to do Harry took a deep breath and said quickly and quietly "Ican'trememberyou." In fact he said it so fast that Squall didn't understand him and just blinked at him before saying the first thing that came to mind. "What?" confusion alight in his voice. Squalls eyes had locked onto Harrys knowing that what he was doing would make it impossible for his brother to break eye contact with him unless Squall himself wished it. Harry took another breath and said "I don't remember you." a bit louder while trying to look away.

Squall for the second or third time in ten minutes blinked. He knew Harry wasn't going to remember him. Hell he didn't expect it but Harry had told the truth with out answering his question. Not knowing him was not what was wrong with Harry and he knew that so he tried again.

"I truly didn't expect you to but thats not whats bugging you." Squall said still not releasing Harrys eyes.

Harry just didn't know what to do. Yes there were other things wrong like dealing with Voldemort. Or the fact that his parents were dead, or the fact that he was in a car with a guy he didn't know and going to live with him. Oh and to top it off he didn't know what to do about his owl, Hedwid or what his brother was like. 'Man the world is out to get me.' Harry thought.

"Did anybody tell you why I left?" Squall asked. Harry shook his head and shifted backwards into the seat. Squall nodded before he released Harrys eyes. "I left because our parents didn't approve of my love life."

"What? that doesn't make sense. They didn't care when I got a boyfriend and obviously they would have cared less if I had chosen a girl instead."

Squall nodded. "Well they my not have minded just one boyfriend but when you get into the pleural form of dating they mind."

"Wha...?" Harry gave his brother a confused look.

"I have two boyfriends, well at the time they were boyfriends Now I think the term lovers would be correct, but yeah they weren't happy about it." Squall said testing the water.

"So thats why you left. Or is there more to it?" Harry questioned not really caring. Hell he had friends who did the threesome thing.

"You don't seem surprised." Squalls matter of fact tone cut Harrys thoughts before they could go anywhere.

Harry shrugged again. "Was that the only reason you left?"

"No. Just the main. Are you hungry? We could go to one of the restaurants around here." Squall suggested.

"Squall its two in the morning."

"Your point?"

Harry smiled. "So what are your boyfriends like?"

Squall who had started driving again looked at Harry through the corner of his eye. "Interesting enough for SeeDs. Though getting on their bad side is not recommended. Oh incase you are wondering I have roommates."

Harry nodded his head and looked at Squalls reflection. "Mercenaries as well?"

Squall nodded "Though they do vary in traits. Gyro's alright?"

"Yeah fine."

Squall pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant and turned off the car. Pushing the door open Harry noticed that for a quarter after two in the morning the place had quite a few costumers.

"A lot of the SeeDs come here after missions and stuff so they stay open twenty four hours." Squall answered Harrys unasked question.

After ordering Harry and Squall sat down at a table near the Back trying to avoid the curious stares they were receiving. Squall knew it was because no body knew about his brother, yet well other then Cloud and Sephiroth plus their roommates, but that kept it to about seven or eight people. He was a little curious as to why Harry ignored it. It almost seemed as if people staring at him was common placed, little did Squall know it was.

Ever since Harry fought Voldemort at the age of six and reduced the accursed man to a shade he'd been getting these looks. Even more so now that he ended up fighting the guy every three to six months now.

"How do you feel about owls?" Harrys sudden question drew Squall out of his little world rather quickly.

"Um... their ok I guess. Why?"

"Er... well you see... Last year I was given an... an owl for my birthday... and I wasn't...well... sure if I should...well bring... her so I left her with... Sirius." Harry decided to shut up before he started to ramble.

"Well Remus is coming over next week. I'm sure he wouldn't mind bringing her with." Squall said as if it were a common day thing. Secretly he had been in touch with Remus and Sirius for years. They had understood when he told them about his boyfriends and even helped him work things out. They visited about once a month and talked on the phone when they could. In all honesty if it weren't for thoughs two he'd have lost both Sephiroth and Cloud.

After finishing their meals Squall Drove them to his house which he knew would still be up and about but the atmosphere was a lot less tense and he and Harry chatted on and off all the way there.

Walking up to the door Squall Put his hand on the door nob and said to Harry. "Are you ready to meet your knew house mates?"

Good? Bad? Should I try again? You tell me. R&R
