"Do you want a hand getting him to bed?" Yuffie asked with a small smirk.
Cloud looked down at his lover contemplatively, lips pursing in thought. "Mmm…. No, I think we'll be alright. Thanks anyway Yuffie."
Chapter 14 – Are you sure they're not related?
Leon groaned and blinked a couple of times, pushing himself up a bit and rubbing a hand down his face.
Cloud blinked and looked down at his lover before looking back at Sora in amusement. The brunette was yawning loudly and tilting back, squeaking as he accidently slipped off his seat on the arm of the chair and falling into Riku's lap. Blushing bright red, Sora looked up at Riku and tried to move. "Sorry Ri…."
Riku clamped his hands on Sora's hips and smirked at him, shaking his head. "Don't bother moving. Axel has already stolen your seat."
Sure enough, the red head had claimed his chance at finding a seat off the ground and sat down where Sora had been only two seconds before.
Sora pouted a bit but quickly got over it, settling back against his best friend, and Riku's arms shifted from the slighter islanders hips to around his waist, hugging him loosely.
Albus looked at them oddly while Lily just smirked. Rose was still looking at Leon in fascination.
Stormy grey eyes flickered open and he slowly moved to push himself up into a sitting position, ignoring the rocking motion his head was doing.
"You okay?" Cloud asked, peering into the other warriors face in concern.
Leon blinked and blushed at the close proximity, nodding as he gave a huge, happy smile. "Yeah, I'm okay."
Sora, Riku and Yuffie's jaws all dropped at the sight of the smile, and exactly three seconds later, Sora was screaming and clutching at Riku in sheer terror.
The rest of the common room looked over in alarm as Leon joined the screaming as he scrambled away from Sora and Cloud, Demyx joining in a split second later as Yuffie gave a squeak and backed away from the brunette.
"What? What's wrong?" Cloud asked in alarm, looking around for some sort of danger around them.
"He smiled!" Yuffie replied, her finger pointing at Leon in terror, her eyes wide. "Like…. Sora smiled! Do you have any idea how fucking creepy that is?"
Cloud's face hit the palm of his hand, breathing deeply and counting back from ten before looking back up at the two younger fighters and glaring at them. "That was what had you screaming?"
Sora was still gaping wordlessly like a fish, staring at Leon with wide eyes.
Leon's eyes were darting around in alarm, relaxing when he didn't see anything.
"Well…. It never happens!" Yuffie protested, her eyes still wide. "Leon smiling never happens."
"It doesn't mean you need to scream about it," Cloud grumbled, looking at his startled partner.
"The heck it doesn't! It's like seeing you willingly dress up in a tutu. It never happens!"
Cloud turned bright red and shifted uncomfortably, and Yuffie's jaw dropped.
"No way…. Seriously?" Her gaze darted between her two friends.
"Shut up," Cloud grumbled, crossing his arms as he glared at her, disgruntled.
Leon whined and crept closer to him, resting his head on Cloud's shoulder, looking up at him with puppy dog eyes that were about as big as Sora's. "Cloud…. I want chocolate."
Cloud twitched as he caught sight of the eyes and stumbled for something to say.
There was a pout barely formed with the puppy eyes, and the longer Cloud took to answer the bigger the pout got, increasing the size of the eyes just that much more.
"Whoa…. Are you sure Leon and Sora aren't related?" Riku asked in amusement, looking down at Sora, who was blinking in surprise, and mild horror at Leon's drunkenness.
"Um… quite sure," Cloud replied, shooting a look at the two keyblade wielders.
"Riku," Sora began quietly, still staring at Leon, "please tell me that I'm not going to act like Leon when I grow up."
"Don't worry, I think it would be emotionally impossible for you to act like Leon," Riku replied soothingly, looking amused. "Drunk Leon however, is a definite possibility."
Sora whimpered and cringed back into his friend's hold.
"Cloud," Leon whimpered again, moving forward so he was breathing in the blonde's ear. "I really, really want chocolate right now."
Cloud blinked and looked at the brunette, leaning back so he could face the gunblade wielder head on. "I don't have any chocolate."
"Really?" Leon whined in disappointment.
"Really."
Leon huffed and puffed his cheeks out, dropping his head on the blonde's shoulder.
"Is he sulking?" Riku asked Sora quietly.
"I…I think so," Sora replied unsurely.
Cloud glared at them while trying to push Leon off himself. "Leon, let's get to bed, okay?"
Leon just whined and shifted slightly, moving his hand so it was between Cloud's legs.
Rolling his eyes, Cloud reached up to push the brunette away from his neck, eyes going wide as he felt Leon bite him. "Ah…."
"Nnnn," Leon mumbled as he licked at Cloud's neck again and bit it, his hand that was resting between Cloud's legs coming up to wrap around his shoulders to keep him in place.
Cloud's eyes widened even further as he felt desire shoot him, weakness spreading through his limbs the way it did when Leon attacked his neck. Reaching a hand up, he quickly tried to block Leon from his neck by covering it. "Leon…. Leon, no, stop."
Leon growled and just began sucking on the pale fingers. "Want you," he mumbled around the fingers.
Cloud twitched and pulled his hand away from Leon like he'd been burnt.
Leon, undeterred, went for his neck again with a vengeance, attacking the skin there and sucking on it, creating a mark.
Cloud let out a gasping whimper at the sensations that shot down his arm and up his neck as Leon sucked on his skin. Eyes wide, the blond attempted to move away from Leon again, only this time being pinned against the edge of the couch, unable to move any further.
Leon just loomed over him and continued his attack.
"Damn it, I knew I should have brought my camera," Yuffie grumbled as she watched, a smirk on her face.
Cloud turned to glare at her, still fighting to get Leon away from his neck. "I hate you so much."
The smirk grew, the smirk falling when Leon stopped what he was doing and sat back with wide eyes, the grey eyes suspiciously shiny.
"You….you hate me?" Leon asked quietly, eyes wide as they focused on the blond.
Cloud looked at Leon in alarm, sitting up as the brunette backed away from him and sat back. "No, of course not. I was talking to Yuffie."
"You hate me~!" Leon suddenly wailed, bursting into tears and covering his face with his hands.
Everyone's, including Cloud's, jaws dropped as Leon continued to wail like a small child – loudly and disgustingly wet with a runny nose.
"Aand on that note, I'm thinking bedtime before I get nightmares," Axel suddenly announced, and everyone agreed, the Slytherin's all standing up, except for Riku, who still had a stunned Sora on his lap.
Demyx unfortunately moved within catching distance of Leon and squeaked when he was suddenly hugged tightly, Leon wailing loudly into his shoulder, sobbing hysterically, arms wrapped around the musician's neck. "Cloud hates me~!"
Demyx gaped like a fish, mouth opening and closing hopelessly as he desperately looked at the others for help, arms reaching out for help.
"Leon…" Cloud began, struggling to get over his shock as he stood up and moved over to where the brunette was steadily traumatizing poor Demyx. "Leon, calm down. I don't hate you."
"You do," Leon cried, sniffling into Demyx's neck. "You told me!"
"No, I was talking to Yuffie," Cloud explained gently, reaching forward to tug the brunette away from the musician. "I love you. I couldn't hate you."
Leon sniffled and wiped his eyes and nose, looking at Cloud as the blonde's hands came to rest on either side of his face. "Really?"
"Really," Cloud answered with a small smile.
Leon hugged him tightly. "I love you too. You're the best thing that ever happened to me and I'll love you for ever and ever and ever no matter what Sephiroth does to you or what happens with your mako."
Cloud blushed at the proclamation but smiled anyway. "Thanks Leon."
Demyx hid behind Zexion the moment he was released, eyes wide in horror. "I think I've been traumatized," he whispered to the younger nobody.
Zexion snorted in amusement. "You can't be traumatized Demyx. We're nobodies."
"Bullshit," Axel scoffed. "I've seen Xigbar naked and been traumatized for life."
"Well… okay, but Xigbar will traumatize anyone," Zexion conceded with a wince.
"Exactly," Axel agreed with a grin, to the stairs. "Come on Dem, let's go to bed. I'm still appreciating how soft these beds are after not sleeping in a bed for weeks on end."
"Agreed," Zexion said, nodding as he headed for the Portrait. "We should go before we're caught walking around and get in trouble."
"Yeah, curfew is just about here," James added, looking at the clock.
Sora got up and Riku stood as well. "I'll see you tomorrow," the silver haired islander murmured in his friends ear and hugged him briefly.
"Sleep tight Riku," Sora replied with a smile as he hugged him back.
"Night everyone," Riku said as he too made his way to the portal, Scorpius not far behind him, having hugged Albus.
By the time the common room was mostly cleared, Yuffie looked at her two friends, both swordsmen whispering quietly to each other by the fire. "Hey, Cloud, do you want a hand getting Leon to bed?"
Blinking in surprise at the sudden question, Cloud shook his. "No thanks Yuffie, we should be fine."
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow then. Night guys!" She then left the Gryffindor Tower as well.
"Goodnight!" Leon called loudly after her with a huge wave.
She shivered. There was something scary about Leon when he got drunk.
LINEBREAK
"Drink up me hearties and a Yo, ho, ho!" Leon sang loudly, and very off key as Cloud managed to drag him back to their quarters. That dragline, may it be noted, was quite a zigzag line and nowhere near straight. If they weren't going one way, they were going the other, but they were getting where they were going and for that Cloud was grateful.
The blond had carried the other swordsman out of the Gryffindor common room and down the tower stairs, but once at the bottom the brunette had chucked a wobbly and demanded that he be put down and allowed to walk because he wasn't a child that needed to be carted around like a princess. Hence why they were staggering down the corridor, just in case you were interested.
"And a one, two, three, four! Drink up me hearties and a yo, ho, ho!"
"Leon, shh," Cloud hushed, wincing at the looks they were getting from the portraits. "You're going to wake everyone."
"Come on Cloud, sing with me!" Leon yelled as he threw them to the side again, arms flailing about like he was on a boat. "Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum!"
Cloud sighed and glared at a couple of students that were rushing past, staring at Leon as they hurried past and then stopped and stared backwards as the two warriors made their way slowly down the corridor. "You are so friggin noisy."
"Really?" Leon asked, stopping his singing finally and looking at Cloud. "I thought I was pretty quiet."
Cloud stared at his lover in horror. If this is him quiet, I hate to think about what he'd be like loud.
Leon giggled and waved at a portrait on the other side of the hall, sending them to the other side of the hall. "Hiii all!"
"Oi! Keep it down! Some of us are trying to sleep!" A portrait yelled as they staggered past.
"Sorry!" Leon yelled as they moved past and turned another corner. They walked in silence for a few seconds before Leon turned to the blond. "Hey, Cloud, how come you aren't singing? You're meant to sing. Superiors orders."
"Huh?!" Cloud stared at his lover like he was insane, which he pretty much was at the moment.
"Superiors orders! You have to sing! And a one, and a two, and a one, two, three! Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! We'll pillage and plunder and save the good from the wicked!" Leon lurched them to the side again and Cloud just barely saved them from toppling over.
"For the love of…. Leon! Shut up!" Cloud snapped, the singing starting to get on his nerves.
"But I haven't finished the song yet," Leon whined with a pout.
Cloud groaned and yanked his boyfriend along faster. "You're more trouble than you're worth."
Leon laughed and stumbled along, trying to keep his footing, the sound of drunken singing filling the corridors and hallways.
Warning! If you don't like yaoi don't read any further! Semi-Lemon alert! You have been warned; so don't complain if your eyes burn.
They eventually made it back to their room and Cloud tossed Leon on the bed with a groan of relief. "Get into bed. I'm going to go and visit the hospital wing – see if there's something there that can sober you up. You're a mess."
"Okay," Leon agreed and began pulling his clothes off on the spot, his legs getting caught and tangled up around his boots, which he hadn't thought to take off.
Cloud stood and watched curiously for a minute or so as Leon struggled to get untangled, and eventually gave up and sprawled on the bed, legs trapped together and his shirt hanging around his neck.
Stormy blue eyes turned to Cloud with a pleading look and a pout crossed the strong face. "I'm stuck," Leon explained pathetically with a small whine.
Cloud stopped and stared, shaking his head as he moved forward to help Leon get undressed. "You're hopeless." Kneeling down on the edge of the bed, he reached out and grabbed one of Leon's boots, pulling it off first, then the other one, and peeled the tight, leather pants off the long tanned legs.
Leon stared up at him with lust filled eyes, and Cloud couldn't help but meet the lust-darkened eyes. A spike of desire and lust shot through him, and he groaned, closing his eyes briefly, eyes flying open again when he felt a hand touch his shoulder. He met grey eyes again, and Leon leant up and kissed him, hands slipping around his neck to grip the pale shoulders as he plastered his body as closely to the blonde's as he could.
Cloud moaned in response to the kiss and wrapped his arms around his lover, kissing him back as he crawled forward to press the brunette back into the mattress.
Leon merely leant back and got swept along as Cloud kissed him. He moaned as teeth grazed his throat, head tossed back as a pale hand skated down his body and cupped the hardening length hidden amongst dark curls.
"C-Cloud…" Leon gasped, back arching as his cheeks flushed in pleasure, eyes closed tightly.
"Leon?" Cloud asked deeply, fisting the warm flesh in his hand, nuzzling the tanned neck as he kissed the junction between shoulder and head.
"O-oh…. Shiva…. Cloud...!" Leon shivered and threw a hand up to his mouth, eyes screwed shut, body tensing. "Cloud…. Cloud, stop!"
Cloud lifted his head curiously, wondering what his lover wanted. "You okay?"
"I think I'm gonna be sick…." Leon wheezed out, and Cloud quickly got out of the way as the brunette sprinted for the bathroom, the sounds of vomiting being heard only a few seconds later.
Cloud sighed and ran a hand through his hair, unable to avoid feeling annoyed at the situation, and amused at the same time.
Getting up, he straightened his clothes and left the room, heading for the hospital wing. He was going to go and see Madame Pomphry after all.
Tbc~
A.N: Okay, so I wimped out on a full lemon. Sue me. I figured that this might be a more appropriate ending – that and I'd better get this chapter out. It's been mostly done for a while. ^^;
- Sighs - I am also extremely sorry for not updating in ages. It's been an interesting few months what with pole, dad landing himself in hospital for a week, theatre performances and work, ect. I am honestly exhausted. Having a week of just chilling. Our internet is also acting dodgy – it won't work if there are two computers using it, but one is no problem. – Shrugs - Really weird.
Anyway, sorry for the slow updates. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it.
