Edited and cleaned up folks. This ones dedicated to the people who reviewed the first- Pocky for all of you!
Anyway, sorry but there ain't any lemony scenes in this one, but there will be soon I promise.
Also, Leon's introduced in this chapter, problem being I only know his character from KH so if theres any O.O.C or mistakes I highly apologise, I tried my best.
Theres also a Sora scene in this that revolves around a song, which pretty much the whole story is based on it too so if you wouldn't mind taking a listen it'd be appreciated, it's a good song! - Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. Enjoy.
Disclaimer; Nope, still don't own the characters, and I never will.
Chapter Two; Hangover's, Heartbreak and Sadistic Boyfriends.
Roxas lay sprawled out amongst a soft mass of chalky blue sheets.Warm morning sunlight filtered through a nearby window and bathed his slightly tanned skin and tussled sandy spikes in a golden glow.The blonde was in a peaceful doze, half listening to his shallow breathing and the faint sound of his twin rustling around in the kitchen, oh how he loved summer vacation.
Blinking his cloudy cerulean eyes open and adjusting to the morning haze the teen stretched his awakening body and rolled over onto his bare stomach, burying his face in the soft pillow.
For some reason Roxas felt a little more uncomfortable than one waking up as peacefully as he was should do. The slightly rough material of whatever garment he had on his bottom half was irritating his skin.
Then it dawned on him.
He was still wearing his salt soaked board shorts from the day before when he and Axel had spent the afternoon at the beach.
Slowly the previous nights events flooded back to him.
Beach, Axel, Sora, horrifying car ride, Axel's house...Axel...
Roxas felt the blush creep across his cheeks.
So that hadn't been a dream, it had really happened. Axel had really kissed him and he had really freaked out and run off. Great, just great.
Burying his face further into the pillow the blonde chided himself and let out a muffled groan. Stretching out a slender arm, his nimble fingers fumbled around on the small bedside table in search of his mobile.
Finding the instrument and turning it on blue orbs blinked in adjustment to the bright light before scanning the screen.
" 6 Missed Calls; Axel. "
Snapping the silver phone shut Roxas let out a sigh and shifted to lay on his back. He was about to try and fall back to sleep and ignore the beautiful day around him when he was interrupted by a rather loud creak. The blonde glanced up to see his twin poke his spiky head around the door, that same sunny grin plastered across his fine features.
" Morning Rox! " He chirped happily, obviously in a good mood.
The blonde twin mumbled a reply, watching through curious eyes as his brother excitedly entered the room; Fully dressed and a backpack slung over his shoulders.
" Going somewhere? "
The brunette nodded in return. " I'm going to visit Kairi today. "
Roxas acknowledged his twin's plans with a undescisive nod before letting his eyes flicker away, resting to stare at nothing in particular. Sora noticed his brother's distant blue orbs; He had a vague idea of what was troubling Roxas. It was obviously something to do with a certain redhead friend of the teen.
Although Sora seemed innocent enough, in fact he knew all about his brother's feelings for his older friend, and Axel's not so subtle crush on Roxas as well. He'd been waiting for the day when something happened between the two, it was bound to happen sooner or later. But whatever happened he'd be there for him, all the way, and for Axel too. But over anything Sora just wanted his brother to be happy, and Axel seemed to be able to make him so even in his twins angst-iest of moods.
" Rox? "
Roxas brought his attention back to his brother. " Hmm? "
" Did something happen last night? "
The blonde glanced away, cerulean eyes boring into the pale yellow wall opposite his bed, he responded with a touch of sarcasm. " What makes you say that? "
Sora scratched his choppy cinnamon spikes. " Well, It's pretty obvious, and the whole ' running into the house and locking yourself in your room without a word ' thing last night was kinda a dead give away."
The blonde twin furrowed his thin eyebrows at these words, his brother knew him far too well, but I guess that's to be expected of twins.
Sora continued to no repsonse. " Something to do with Axel? "
"..."
" I'll take that as a yes then. "
Figuring this wasn't the best way to get the info out of his brother an idea sprung to mind.
Jumping on his unwary twin he used an attack which was always successful with the blonde, tickling the teen who began giggling and trying to wriggle away from the other. Batting his brother off an unwanted smile came to rest on his lips.
" Quit it Sora. "
The brunette settled down after a moment and began on the previous subject. " So, what happened then? Come'on you can tell me."
The blonde twin returned to his sullen look, cerulean eyes fluttering away for a moment before back up to meet his brothers. He let out a sigh and spoke shyly.
" He, uh, he kissed me. "
Sora's thin eyebrows rose up in shock before a cheesy grin spread over his features and he squealed, glomping his brother. " It's about time! " He beamed happily. Eventually releasing his breathless twin who had a look of confusion plastered across his face.
" And your, ok with that? "
" Of course I am, it was bound to happen sooner or later, what with Ax bein' all.. " The brunette paused and scratched the back of his head in thought before continuing.
" Well, youno, it's obvious he likes you, and I'm pretty sure you like him back."
Not willing to argue any longer, the blonde submitted to defeat. " Is it that obvious? "
Sora laced his hands behind his head, a comical look spreading across his features. " If you call basically having a flashing neon sign above your head saying " Screw Me Axel " then yeah, it's pretty obvious. "
Roxas poked the brunette and let out a small chuckle, amused by his brother's antics.
" So, why aren't you happy? "
The blonde twin let out a sigh, pausing for a moment before responding in a dull tone. " I got nervous, and I legged it.."
" Oh."
" Hmm. "
" Why..? "
" I..uh..it's complicated."
After an awkward silence Sora perked up again, smiling that sunny smile of his to lighten the mood.
" Youno I'm sure he'd forgive you, I mean besides wanting to get in your pants 24/7 he does care for you a lot, I know that for a fact. Why don't you tell him how you feel? "
" I want to, I really do, bu.." Sora cut his brother off, intent on getting his side of the argument across.
" Then tell him, don't push him away. He wont be willing to chase you around like a lovesick puppy for ever youno."
Roxas murmured back. " Yeah, I know. Hey Sora, why don't you take a leaf out of your own book too, I could say the same about you and Riku."
The brunette twin feigned innocence before swiftly changing the subject. " This isn't about me and Riku it's about you and Ax, just promise me you'll tell him ok. "
Roxas let his eyes wonder down to his soft sheets, fingers toying with the fluffy fabric and his body still bathed in warm morning light. " I promise. "
" So, today? now? call him! "
" Not today. "
" Oh come'on! you have to sometime. Your not gonna just sit here and wallow in your own self pity all day are you? "
Roxas nudged his brother off the mattress, pulling back the warm sheets and sliding out of the bed onto the soft blue carpet. He stretched his un-used muscles and padded over to his chest of draws, rummaging through.
" No, I think I'll go see Hayner today, I'll talk to Ax later. "
Sora pouted, that pout soon turning back into a grin as he remembered something that a certain silver-haired teen had informed him of the previous night.
" Well, come to Riku's party on Saturday, I'm sure he'll be there and you guys can talk! "
" No. "
" Pleeeaaasee?! "
" No "
" Pretty pleeaaase?! nobody likes a party pooper Rox!"
With a sigh Roxas gave in. " Fine. "
The now triumphant Sora turned for the door, a new spring in his step. Calling a goodbye over his shoulder he bounced out of the room " I'll see you later k! "
" Yeah yeah. "
With a soft chuckle Roxas padded over to his cluttered bedside table and flipped open his phone, keying in the number and pressing call.
" Hello? " Came a familiar voice from the other end.
" Hey Hayner, It's Roxas. "
Tired emerald eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the dim light of the room before slipping shut again. The redhead winced at the thumping sound resonating through his head, seemingly getting closer and sounding somewhat like a jackhammer. Thud thud thud thud..
" Morning sunshine! "
Axel growled angrily at the unbearably loud teen as he bounced around the room, deliberately opening up the dusty blinds and letting in the bright morning sunlight.
Hissing, the redhead buried his face in his pale arm before blindly throwing an empty beer can at the cause of his pain. The strawberry blonde crouched down next to the severely hung over Axel; sprawled out across the dirty green shag-pile carpet of the lounge room.
Demyx's mischievous blue eyes darted around and he consequently raised a slender eyebrow at the disgustingly messy house and the deceased looking teen in front of him, currently half naked and surrounded by empty beer cans.
" Woah babe, you look like shit. " He said with a snicker.
The redhead emitted another groan before lifting his aching head slightly out his arm, cracking one emerald eye open before scrunching it shut. Feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the other's strong perfume.
" Love you too Dem. " He mumbled, his abused throat sore and a bad taste in his mouth. " Urgh, what time is it ? "
" Just past eleven. "
Axel furrowed his eyebrows at this, a look of absolute disgust spreading across his features. " You seriously woke me up before noon."
If looks could kill then Dem would have been pushing up daisies.
The amused blonde chuckled lightly before getting up and heading into the kitchen, black boots clacking on the shabby lino floor. He began rummaging through the near-empty cupboards and fridge in search of some sort of nourishment.
He called out cheerily to the hungover teen. " So what happened hmm? Roxy break your heart again? "
The redhead winced again at the sheer volume of his friend, the level increased tenfold to his pounding head.
He fought with himself a moment before lifting his aching body off the dirty green carpet and padding slowly to the kitchen. Gingerly taking a seat at one of the stools at the kitchen bench and loathing the way the cold vinyl seeped through his thin board shorts.
Demyx placed a chilled glass of water in front of the redhead and upon taking a good look at him, immediately burst out in giggles. Axel furrowed his eyebrows further and glared at the offending teen.
" What's so funny. "
" You should see your face right now, that's what's so funny." He managed through his laughter.
" Don't mock me. "
Axel held the cold glass to his aching forehead, relishing in the slight ease it gave to his migraine.
" Babe you have like shag pile imprint on your face. "
The redhead grunted at the teen laughing at his own expense and ran a finger over his left cheek. Sure enough the once smooth skin was now lumpy and imprinted from crashing out on the shabby carpet.
Demyx laughed to himself and went back to searching through the kitchen, finally pulling out a near empty carton of eggs and an old fry pan, clicking on the gas and placing the pan atop he asked over his shoulder;
" So, you gonna tell me why you got so stacked last night? Something to do with Roxas? "
Axel mumbled back " Something like that. "
Demyx cracked two eggs into the sizzling pan before turning to his friend. Pulling out a cigarette, placing it on his thin lips and lighting it before leaning down on his elbows on the kitchen bench across from the redhead. He took a drag and then blew the cloud of smoke out the side of his mouth. Somehow he looked rather like one of those American waitresses you see in the movies..
Emerald orbs darted to the small metal lighter in front of the blonde before slender fingers crept over and retrieved it, flicking the flame on with ease he watched it intently.
" What happened? " The blue eyed teen asked softly.
The redhead watched the small orange flame lick over the tips of his fingers as he expertly toyed with it. " I kissed him, that's what happened. "
Demyx raised a slender eyebrow at his friend before offering him the cigarette; which he took gratefully.
" Shouldn't you be happy then babe? "
Axel scoffed with distaste.
" Youno I would be if he hadn't freaked out and legged it, and if I wasn't nearly raped a ps2 controller. "
The blonde chuckled softly in amusement. " Sounds kinky. "
And Axel bit back a rude comment, after an awkward silence Demyx got the point, understanding his friend could be rather cranky when hung over and heaven forbid, awake before noon.
" So, I'm guessing you haven't talked to him about it ? "
Said hungover teen emitted a frustrated sigh before taking a sip of the cool liquid in his glass. " He wont fucking pick up his phone. "
" Go around and see him then, youno he was probably just nervous. "
" Maybe. "
" Oh come'on he totally digs you babe, I mean who wouldn't. " Demyx winked suggestively to emphasize his point, earning a quiet chuckle from the redhead.
" Just go and talk to him, I'm sure you guys can sort it out, you'll probably be in his pants by the end of the week. "
Axel smirked at that before getting up from the stool and padding to the bathroom, deciding he really needed a shower. He called back to his friend;
" He should count his lucky stars I didn't just screw him last night." Before shutting the door behind him.
Demyx smiled to himself and went back to his cooking, satisfied with the state of his eggs he plated them up and took Axel's place at the bench. He was about to take a bite when he was interrupted by a vibrating in his pocket followed by his mobile tone. A heavy guitar riff by some American metal band.
Slipping the thin phone out and flipping it open he answered sweetly.
" Hello? "
" Hey Demyx! " Came the cheery voice of a certain brunette.
" Oh hey Sora, wassup? "
" Not much, just wondering if your busy on Saturday night, there's a party at Riku's house and he asked me to invite you guys, wanna come? "
" Sure babe, sounds ace. "
Sora paused for a moment before asking " Hey will you ask Axel for me? "
" No probs, oh, will your brother be there by any chance? "
" Yep, just make sure Axel comes ok , oh I gotta go now! "
Demyx noticed the brunette was panting slightly, probably walking somewhere.
" Ok bye Sora."
" Cya! " The brunette chirped back happily before ending the call.
Demyx snapped the instrument shut, a satisfied smile now spreading across his lips. Perfect.
Ending the call Sora slipped his phone back into his pocket before stepping up to the large wooden door and placing a knock on the solid varnished surface. A moment later the heavy door was opened and a content looking Kairi adorned in pink stood in its wake, a sweet smile gracing her features she greeted her old friend.
" Hello Sora! "
The brunette spoke back cheerily with a " Hey Kairi! " before being ushered into the large marble hallway.
Falling into small chat he followed the girl through the two story house, passing an open door to the library room. Said room basking in bright morning sunlight from tall windows and filled to the brim with books on just about every subject known to man, Sora and Kairi had played there a lot when they were young.
Entering the familiar open kitchen and entertainment area the brunette took a seat on one of the white vinyl barstools whilst Kairi went about making them both some drinks, a moment later setting two chilled glasses of apple strawberry juice onto the marble bench with a "clink ".
Receiving the refreshment gratefully Sora trailed his friend down to the sunken lounge room, adorned with soft white leather couches covered with decorative pillows and a plush auburn carpet spread across the tiled floor.
As much as Sora was familiar with Kairi's house he still felt somewhat edgy whenever he visited, probably due to him being rather clumsy and the girls family having a house full of expensive items. And strangely enough up until now he had never realised just how much white there was in the house. It seemed to almost glow in the bright morning sunlight.
Sora padded up to the tall glass cabinet next to the plasma screen T.V. Sliding it open he ran a finger over the collection of dvd's new and old, stopping with a grin at a certain case he pulled it out and waved it at his friend.
" Hey Kairi remember this? We used to watch it so much huh. "
Kairi smiled at the disk in Sora's grasp, Disney's The Lion King'.
Memories flooded back of Riku, Sora and herself watching it as children. Riku never really seemed all that interested whereas the brunette and herself certainly were...
I mean who didn't get teary in the scene where Mufasa died. You'd have to be heartless not to.
Deciding it had been far too long they spent the day watching the old Disney classics.
Sora was in a light doze by the end of Alice in wonderland. The end credits followed and Kairi stretched and got up from the soft leather couch, nudging the sleeping boy awake.
" Sora you lazy bum get up."
The brunette woke with a yawn, blinking and smoothing out his ruffled spikes. He looked around through watery cerulean eyes, golden pink was sunlight now pouring through the large windows and basking the open lounge room in the warm afternoon glow.
" Geesh, what time is it? "
A smile spread across Kairi's lips as an idea sprung to mind. " About time for us to go down to the beach I suspect. " She said cheerfully.
Grabbing Sora's wrist lightly she pulled the dopey boy out of the beach side house, shutting the heavy door behind them.
Sora relished the beautiful afternoon around him, taking a moment to breath in the warm sweet air.
The two friends set off down the boardwalk to the beach, their shoes clacking on the wooden planks as they walked. It was another beautiful sunset only today the palette of colours painting the sky were more of chalky pinks and golds, highlighted by the blotchy cotton candy like clouds dotting the sky.
Sora and Kairi settled for a content silence as they made their way down to and along the small jetty, lined with dingies tied to the sides rocking in the calm golden water. Taking a familiar seat at the end of the jetty, they talked for a while, reminiscing a cherished memory of a time when they had tried to build a raft to go adventuring and visit new worlds and cracking up over names they had wanted to give it.
There was a clacking sound on the wood rafters and both turned to see Kairi's twin jogging towards them, waving shyly when meeting their glance.
" Hey Namine! " Sora spoke once she came to a halt behind them.
The blonde girl greeted them with a slight smile.
" Hi Sora, Kairi. "
The brunette laced his hands behind his head before asking the girl. " So what brings you here? "
Her blue eyes darted to her sister before she responded " I came to get Kairi, Dad wants us home, were going out to dinner tonight remember? "
A look of realisation dawned on Kairi's features and she stood up graciously.
" Oh right! "
" Well I'll see you another time Sora, it was fun. "
Sora nodded happily in agreement " Thanks for having me. "
The two sisters were halfway down the jetty before Sora remembered there was something he was supposed to ask, jumping up he sprinted after them, " Hey guys wait up! "
Panting slightly he stopped before them " Riku's having a party this Saturday, do you guys wanna come? "
Namine and Kairi exchanged glances before agreeing cheerfully, waving a second goodbye and setting off back up to their house.
With a pleased sigh Sora took in the beautiful sunset unfolding before him, shining cerulean eyes spotting a familiar little Island a small way down the beach. Someone precious immediately coming to mind, he slipped off his thongs before heading down through the soft white sand toward the Island which held so many of his memories.
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth, beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing, were have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when, your gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
Sora ran a slender hand over the smooth bark of the Paopu tree, missing the way he and Riku used to sit there and talk about anything and everything; a time when they shared so many dreams.
I came across, a fallen tree
I felt the branches are they looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this place that I've been dreaming of?
The brunette pulled himself up sit on the tree, gazing out to the shimmering golden ocean before him; A soft sweet breeze swept through his thin clothes and filled his lungs.
His heart in a flutter he let his eyes slip shut, a silver-haired teen flooded his senses and haunting aquamarine eyes made his chest tight.
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when, your gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
Tears welling behind glimmering cerulean eyes, Sora let the name of the one he loved so much drip off his lips like honey
" Riku."
If there was one thing Sora wanted more than anything; It was to never loose Riku. Never Again.
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know
This could be the end of everything
So why do we go
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Cloud arrived at the beach side apartment just an hour earlier then he had the previous night, but equally as tired. To no surprise Sephiroth hadn't returned home, nor had he the night before after he'd screwed the blonde senseless and said he'd be back later.
But Sephiroth had a habit of doing that, that being just leaving for copious periods of time without any warning or so much as a call and returning days later and acting as if he'd done nothing wrong.
Quite frankly the man lived in his own world, a world were he could fuck Cloud over; in every sense of the word, and still the blonde would be there waiting for him when he arrived home. It certainly did wonders for his ego.
Cloud padded over the lush chocolate carpet into Sephiroth's bedroom, his cerulean eyes darting over to the large black bed which had been the scene of last night's 'ordeal '.
Waking up to pain in the morning the Cloud had almost been tempted to leave the dirty sheets on the bed just to spite the older man. But alas that little thing called his 'conscience' took a hold and stopped him and he figured it probably wasn't the best idea.
Partly because, knowing Sephiroth, he probably wouldn't have been home any time before Cloud so he would have had to change the sheets anyway. And if Sephiroth had found them first he would have most certainly grabbed Cloud and pushed him onto the bed and made the sheets even dirtier than before just to spite him back.
To Sephiroth everything was about power. The power which he held over Cloud.
Entering the large en suite bathroom the blonde lent over the large marble sink with a sigh. Running a hand through his soft spiky hair his eyebrows furrowed upon meeting with his reflection, cerulean orbs glaring in distaste at the large purple bruise spread across his pale cheek, the result of another one of the man's lusts for power over him.
The previous night he had slapped Cloud harshly to assert himself whilst screwing the blonde into the mattress. As well as it helping with Sephiroth's whole sadistic turn on thing, it was mainly to let Cloud know just who was fucking him and that he couldn't do a thing about it.
To be honest Sephiroth owned him, and as much as Cloud yearned to just be loved by the man he never would be. No he was only owned, like a possession.
It had been like that all along and it always would be.
Cloud had met the older man whilst in his last year of high school. A couple of half drunk friends had dragged him along to a certain nightclub, notorious for having a largely gay customer base, as a joke.
It was there he met Sephiroth in all his handsome,dark and mysterious glory.
The silver-haired man wanted him and Cloud just couldn't resist, later that night loosing his virginity in the back of the man's fancy black B.M.W.
And now that Cloud was involved he couldn't go back. Sephiroth became like a drug, slowly eating away his dignity and happiness and leaving him with a spinning head.
To the older it was all just a power trip, another toy.
Hating himself for giving in Cloud fumbled into his pocket and dug out his phone. To no surprise he was redirected to Sephiroth's message bank, just like the last five times he had called..
Now thoroughly pissed Cloud hung up and instead took a well deserved shower.
Stepping out and drying himself he dressed in a pair of clean black pants and his usual dark blue zip-up vest. Slipping on his black boots and clipping on a small lion head earring he ran a hand through his towel dried spikes and sprayed on a hint of perfume before grabbing his wallet and keys.
Fuck Sephiroth. He was going out.
Not twenty minutes later the blonde arrived outside the front of a local nightclub. Driving around and pulling up the side in a small car park he cut the rumbling engine and slid off the large black bike. Slipping his goggles down to hang around his pale neck he headed for the entrance and upon flashing his I.D at the dodgy looking bouncer and paying the fee he entered the dark building.
Cloud pushed his way through the masses of sweaty bodies pulsating to the loud bass of the song and took a seat at the bar.
He ordered a vodka which was soon placed down on the glass surface in front of him. Taking a swig of the sharp drink he enjoyed the burn as it slid down his throat,then placing the glass back down he admired how the blue neon light from under the bar top lit up the clear liquid.
With another sip the blonde watched lazily out the corner of a cerulean eye as a sweet smelling man sat down beside him, a pleasant break from the sweat drenched women and seedy men smelling heavily of cigarettes that filled the nightclub.
Cloud turned his attention back to the cool glass in his grip, running a slender finger around the rim and watching as the condensation gathered in droplets and ran down the side, his thin eyebrows slightly furrowed and illuminent blue orbs distant.
He was brought out of his drink induced haze by a deep and smooth voice.
" Nice bruise you got there. " The man spoke.
Upon actually looking at the guy next to him, the blonde was quietly taken back. In a very good way.
Said man had longish chestnut hair and intense stormy gray eyes which shimmered in the neon light. A a subtle smirk played across his fine features and an interesting scar stretched from above his left eye down across the bridge of his nose to his right cheek.
On anyone else a scar like that would probably look mighty hideous but somehow it seemed to really suit this guy.
Cloud had to stop himself from staring, instead taking another sip of his vodka. He paused for a moment before responding.
" I could say the same about that scar of yours. " A hint of playfulness lacing his deep voice.
The man let out a soft snicker, ordering a bottle of vodka and lifting the glass with a gloved hand.
Taking a sip and returning the glass to the glowing blue surface of the bar he watched the colour dance in the clear liquid before asking the blonde next to him;
" So, get that from a fight? "
Cloud smirked, not hesitating for a moment in saying; " More like a sadistic boyfriend. "
Truthfully he rarely told anyone of Sephiroth, nor of his persuasion for the same sex. But for some reason he had a strong urge to impress this guy, and he didn't exactly seem like the homophobic type.
The man raised a slender eyebrow, taking another sip of his drink and grinning inwardly.
" He sounds like an ass. "
Cloud chuckled at this, softly shaking his head in agreement. " You have no idea. "
The man smiled subtly before stretching out a gloved hand to the blonde and introducing himself.
" Leon. "
The blonde raised his own to shake the hand back. " Cloud. "
He felt a little tense from the sudden contact but shook it off.
Going back to their drinks the two men were cut off as a group of sweaty, half naked girls, fresh of the pumping dance floor rudely shoved between them and began ordering drinks.
Cerulean eyes scanned through the group of girls and Cloud had to keep himself from jumping as Leon came up behind him, resting his gloved hand on his bare shoulder and speaking close to his ear to cut through the noise of the club.
" Let's go to a booth. "
The blonde kept the excited shiver that threatened to run down his spine at the near suggestive comment, instead getting up and following Leon through the crowd to the more secluded booths on the side.
His blue eyes came to rest on the man's leather pants which fitted snuggly around his ass and hips and he felt a playful smirk tug at his lips.
The two took opposite seats in one of the blue leather booths on the side. Leon stopped a waiter on his way past and grabbed and brightly coloured drink for them each.
The brunette reclined back whilst Cloud took an experimental sip of the fluorescent green drink; it tasted somewhat like lime and coconut.
Setting his own drink down Leon's stormy gray eyes came to stare intently into Clouds, making him feel slightly nervous. He asked without hesitation.
" So what do you do for a living Cloud? "
Slightly surprised this guy didn't just want in his pants Cloud eased up and the two men settled into a conversation which soon turned from formalities into talk of everything from food to video games. Both somewhat surprised with themselves at how open and sociable they were being and just how well they were getting on.
Cloud was especially surprised, tonight being the first time he had actually been happy in a long time. This guy was something thats for sure.
Cloud was halfway through explaining the concept of button mashing in relation to games like Tekken and Soul Calibur when his phone interrupted, flipping it open he blocked one ear to help mute some of the loud noise of the club and answered as best as he could.
" Hello? "
" Cloud " Came a familiar dark voice.
Upon hearing said voice the blonde felt his gut twist a little.
" Oh, Sephiroth. "
" Where are you? " The silver-haired man asked curtly, obviously not pleased that the blonde was actually out having a life for once.
Cloud paused for a moment before answering " I'm out at a club, I'll be home soon. "
Leon watched the uncomfortable looking blonde fidget around, coming to the conclusion that it was obviously that sadistic boyfriend of his calling.
Cloud ended the call and slipped his phone away, trying to stifle the disapointed look that threatened to fall on his features.
" Hey Leon, I'm sorry I gotta go.. "
The brunette nodded in return " Oh ok."
Standing up the blonde made to reach for his wallet but was interrupted by that smooth deep voice. " Don't worry about it, I got it covered. "
The subtle reassuring smile on his lips almost making Cloud gulp.
Oh how he wanted to stay.
Leon stood and walked up to Cloud, resting a gloved hand on his shoulder; his face blank but his eyes telling everything. " Well it was nice meeting you Cloud. "
The blonde responded back a little quieter than he should of, slightly overwhelmed " You too.. Leon. "
" I'll see you round. " Leon said with one last look before turning and dissapearing into the crowd.
Cloud stood there in a haze for a moment, slightly numbed by the alcohol coursing through his veins and the sweet smell of the man that lingered.
He soon exited the humid club and strode out into the refreshingly crisp air, bright stars dotted the ebony sky like diamonds on velvet.
Slipping aboard the large black Fenrir he sped off in the direction of home.
Boy Sephiroth wasn't going to be pleased.
Blah, badly written, hope it wasn't too bad. And oh the fluff it burns..I must write some angst.
Anywho pleaaasee R&R, and no flames; If you ain't got something nice to say, then don't say it at all. No ones making you read it.
Pocky for all who review. Stay tuned for the next chappie.
xx Hoshi-chan.
