GRAVITATION
CONFUSION AND ANSWERS
Cloud found no reason to hold the 'brat' or Squall, as his name was, anymore. Quistis had left for sure. Yet, he didn't feel like releasing him from his embrace. The other's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Was that really necessary?"
"Yes," Cloud answered and finally stopped hugging the younger man. Squall felt sorry for the woman, but then again it wasn't his business. "But this whole situation benefited you, didn't it?"
Squall glare at the man moving towards the door of the building. "What do you mean?" Squall asked suspiciously.
"Aren't you attracted to me?" Cloud asked him quite seriously.
Stormy eyes widened. What the? "What the? Of course not!"
"Oh please, stop denying it." That cold voice. Although Cloud didn't seem to care about the subject, he was still pretty sure that Squall felt something for him. The brunet felt like hitting the overconfident author. "When is your concert?"
"On the 17th. Zepp Tokyo."
"You want me to come and listen to that crappy love song?" Cloud was smiling again. The brunet gritted his teeth. Still he couldn't help but feel heat inside him, especially since the blond man hugged him. "Forget it." Cloud's voice had become extremely cold again. The smile was gone. Squall wished someone would save him form the harsh glare he was receiving. "I'm not interested in you. You're too young for me anyway." Cloud said and entered the building walking calmly to the elevator's doors.
I'm not interested in you.
You're too young for me?
What he hell!?
Squall ran inside, managing to enter the elevator at the last moment. "You jerk!" What was that supposed to mean?" Squall had Cloud pushed against the wall, his hands holding tightly at the other's white shirt. The blond had just his eyes closed and looked indifferent but Squall knew better. "Stop insulting me already! Why are you doing this? Have I done anything to you? Why do you say these things? Why do you assume that I like you? Why do you act as if you hate me? Why do you have to say such provocative words? Why-?"
"If you don't shut your mouth—" Blue eyes opened, staring hard at Squall. The younger man took a step back, releasing his grasp at the blond's shirt. "—I'll shut it for you."
Squall didn't notice that he had reached the elevator's wall by backing away. To tell the truth, he was a little terrified by Cloud's glare. And his words made him blush a little, although he tried to deny any attraction that he might feel for that man. "Why, why, why, why…why do you have to ask me this?"
Cloud walked towards the brunet and trapped him in the corner. "He asked me the same thing."
He? Who was 'he'? Squall felt his blood freeze as Cloud touched his cheek. He looked at the blond man, not sure about what to expect next.
The blond man was also confused. He couldn't understand what this boy had that attracted him that much. Sure, he was really handsome, but…there was something about him.
Cloud leaned forward, Squall freezing in place, and kissed the brunet. Squall felt…he didn't know what he felt exactly. Just that he hadn't felt like this ever before.

"Squall! Dammit, Squall, open the door for me, will you!?" The brunet didn't move from his place on the floor, no matter how many times Paine pleaded or threatened him to let her in his room. "Damn…" Paine stared at the door.
Squall had come home in a bad mood the day before. He seemed confused and a little angry. Hadn't even talked to her, just said 'whatever' when she asked him if he had already eaten outside. He had locked himself in his room and didn't open the door. Paine would be less worried if the had at least talked to Riku. But the silver haired boy had called home to ask if Squall was all right, obviously worried that the brunet didn't answer his cell phone.
Paine looked at the clock. Riku should be here soon. At the sound of the doorbell, she smiled. Walking downstairs to open the door, she was making plans of murdering those who had upset her brother.
"Hey, Paine. What's up? I was worried. Is Squall angry at me or Axel for something?"
"I don't think so, Riku. Come inside, I'll call him—" The young girl was interrupted by the sound of a door opening and closing, Squall running downstairs, and exiting the house, heading to Riku's bike.
"Uh…Squall?"
"Come on Riku we'll be late for the rehearsal." At the questioning glances he received from both his friend and his sister he added, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be back for lunch, sis."
"Ok, Squall. Be careful!"
Riku gave a signal to Paine that he will take care of the stubborn brunet and they head off.

Vaan looked at his watch. They were late. Looking through his sunglasses at the crowd of the airport, the successful producer noticed the two figures he was waiting for. The one was a blond man with kinda short hair and sunglasses wearing blue jeans, a green t-shirt and a blue jacket. The other person was taller, with brown long hair in a ponytail and a cowboy's hat on his head, sunglasses, blue jeans and a white shirt. Smiling he started to approach them. They were supposed to be discreet.
And everything would have been perfect if Tidus hadn't hugged him with such force that they fell on the floor.
Several faces turned towards them. Luckily for them, they still had their sunglasses on. The brown haired man just smiled and waved the people off , pointing at the two boys and mouthing 'clumsy.'
"Sorry, Vaan."
Vaan managed to get up and, although he had started to get pissed off, he couldn't stay mad at his long time friend. Smiling he greeted the brown haired man who had 'saved' them. "Thank you Mr. Kinneas. It must have been hard to watch over him."
"It's a manager's job," Irvine Kinneas answered smiling.
Vaan returned the smile and looked back at the blond man who was smiling at him. "Welcome back, Tidus."

"The rehearsal was good," Riku said to his best friend. "Will you tell me what happened now?" Squall glared at the wall nearby as if it was responsible for the things that happened to him lately. "…Squall?"
The brunet sighed and told Riku about the latest events with the…dumb arrogant sexy piece of an asshole as he called him.
"I see. I don't know, this guy doesn't seem to be good news to me."
"Same here."
"YOU IDIOTS!"
"Eh?" Both Squall and Riku turned to see a really pissed Axel looking angrily at them.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? Why aren't you rehearsing? The concert is today!"
"But we did rehearse!"
"Oh really? Since when is singing other songs considered rehearsal for a concert!?"
"Whatever." Squall rolled his eyes.
"What!?"
"Oh, come on, Axel; you like Nittle Grasper too, don't you?"
"Eh? Of course I do, but this isn't our point now."
"Aren't you a fan of them too?"
"Yes, I am, Squall, but that's not the—"
"And you seem to be a fan of Mr. Tomashi too," Riku said with a knowing smile.
Axel blushed. "Ok, I still am, but not like this!"
"Oh?"
"Well, there's someone else. Umm…"
"What? Who?"
"Since when are you so curious about my love life Riku?" Axel asked, getting pretty pissed.
"Oh, come on, it's fun and I'm bored. Now, tell us, since when 've you stopped having a crush on the president of the NG records please?"
"Stop it! That's not our—"
"Who are you guys?"
All three of them turned to see a very handsome silver haired youth. His hair reached his shoulders and he had deep green eyes. Two other silver haired guys were also with him. One of them had longer silver haired hair and was holding a guitar while the other had short spiked silver hair. They were smiling in a not-so-kind way.
"This stage is reserved for rehearsal for the whole day by our group, ASK."
"Oh, that's right!" Axel replied smiling and touching the back of his head. "But The Eagles also have permission to rehearse with you."
"'The Eagles?' I don't know them."
"Wha…?" These idiots think very highly of themselves, damn these arrogant bastards Axel was starting to feel annoyed. There was no way they hadn't heard that The Eagles were the opening band.
"The audience wants to see us. Who cares for the opening band?"
"What?" Squall glared at the leader of the group.
"Well, since the concert will begin with us, we'll have to make a good impression for both us and you. You see, we wouldn't want to embarrass you. The first big concert of ASK not having a good opening act would be a shame, don't you think? Unless you're afraid that the audience will start asking for us the rest of the concert?"
Kadaj gritted his teeth.
Well done Riku, Squall thought. His best friend had made the three members of ASK to shut their mouths. Idiots.
Kadaj felt very angry. He wouldn't permit them to embarrass him by saying any more. Yazoo and Loz were clearly pissed too. He opened his mouth to say something but the sound of steps stopped him. All of them turned to see a beautiful blond woman with sunglasses, blue jeans and a green shirt standing in front of them. She didn't look very happy. They kept looking at her wondering what she might want, she looked a bit strange, like she wanted to kill someone.
Squall thought that he had seen her before. Then he remembered.
FLASHBACK
Cloud just looked at him. Squall was starting to get pissed. He didn't like the way the other looked at him. It was like he wanted to…The brunet shook his head and opened his mouth to talk again when the door of the building opened and a very beautiful blond woman came out.
"Cloud, wait! Just hear me for a second, please—" The blonde paused and looked at Squall. She had blue eyes and wore a green skirt and a green top. Her hair reached a little under her shoulders and she had a strict look on her face; it was like she was scanning him.
"Who is he?" she asked the blond man.
"Well, let's go, Squall." Cloud winked at him and the brunet thought he was going to have a heart attack. What the…? "He's my date."
END FLASHBACKOh shit.
"Squall Leonhart. That's you, right?"
"…" Everyone looked at Squall. The brunet gave Riku a glance and the silver haired man understood immediately who that woman was.
"Come with me."

Now that Squall thought about it, he didn't really have a choice but to follow. Quistis, the blonde woman, had practically dragged him along even though he had pushed her and tried to release himself. Everyone was too shocked to 'save' him, especially Axel. Did he know her or something? The look on his face had been priceless; it was like he wanted to scream for help. The brunet wondered if he should feel afraid.
Raising an eyebrow, he looked at Quistis. She did seem dangerous and insane. She had brought him to a bar which was empty; she knew the owner and had asked him to close it for the day. This proved that she had it all planned.
"So you're Cloud's boyfriend right?"
What now? If I tell her the truth, that Strife guy will probably kill me. If I tell her yes, then she will CERTAINLY kill me once she finds out that I lied to her. But then again, Cloud was the one to kiss me. It's been two days and I haven't seen him since. Although he called me 4 times. He probably found my number from the catalogue. I remember picking it up, hearing his voice and then shutting the phone to his face.
"Yeah." Squall hoped that everything would go well.
"I see. That's good then."
"Eh?"
"I want you to do me a favor. I'll pay you of course."
"What? Wait a minute!" Squall stood up. "Don't mind me with your business ok? I don't know what's going on between you too but I don't wanna be a part of it!"
"But you're his boyfriend." Quistis also stood up.
"So?"
"What do you mean so!? Since you're his boyfriend, a part of his business becomes yours; you can't stay completely out of it. Listen, I know Cloud, and I assure you that he's far too sweet with you. This means that something is going on. I don't know how long you too have been together, but I'm sure that if he wanted someone to help him with his family problems, then that someone would be you!"
Damn, she seemed really pissed. Wait…family problems? "Family?"
"Yes. But of course he never talks about his big sister."
"His…sister!?" That woman was Cloud Strife's sister!?
The door of the bar opened and a man walked in.
"I'm sorry I'm late, Quistis-san."
"It was time, Vaan."
Vaan?
Squall turned to see none other than Vaan Tomashi himself. Squall's eyes widened.
"Mr. Tomashi!"
"Hello, Mr. Leonhart." Vaan offered his hand for Squall to shake, but Quistis didn't allow this by slapping the brunet's hand.
"Ow. Are you crazy madam!?" The brunet glared at her.
"You won't become friends that easily."
"Friends?" What is she talking about?
"If you do what I tell you, then I'll let you become friends with Vaan, and he'll promote your band." Quistis smiled.
"What?"
"Don't you want Vaan to help your band?"
"Mr. Tomashi doesn't do business like that!"
"Well, since he's my husband, I can change that"
"Husband?"
Vaan kept smiling without making any comment. What the? Didn't Axel say that Mr. Vaan was in love with Cloud Strife? But he was married to his sister. Maybe Axel was mistaken then. The brunet remembered Axel's shocked face when he had seen Quistis. No, he knew about her. Then that meant that…Vaan was in love with his sister's brother. Did she know that?
"Now, I want you to convince my dear brother."
