Hiya, people!
Thanks to wolfdemon778 for favouriting and to Spiritwave13, Coffee-Flavoured Fate and to The Mist Alchemist for putting this on your alerts list. Makes a girl feel special, you know?
Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW. No reviews and I'll lose confidence on this and stop. I really don't want but...
Moving on. Dedicated to the guy I call Cloud, one of my ninth grader puppies. Why?
I love his hair.


Do I attract chocobo hair or something?

Leon was staring at Cloud's hair vapidly. It was an early evening, too dark to still be working but not late enough to sleep, even for the tired restoration leader. Aerith was humming in a corner, repairing a tear on one of her jackets, Cid was next to the fireplace smoking with Yuffie yelling at him for it and the blond warrior was sharpening that oversized sword of his. Was he compensating, or something?

"What's so interesting about me, Leonhart?" Cloud's voice was quiet, barely audible over the scrape-scrape-scrape of the whetstone over his blade. Leon blinked, not expecting to of been addressed by the other man.

"Your hair. Is it natural?"

"Why, you want styling tips?"

Aerith giggled quietly from her corner and Leon's eyes narrowed. Apparently the pink lady could hear them.

"Nevermind."

First Zell, now him. Jeeze, is there a sign around my neak saying 'Chocobo heads welcome'?


Leon was still staring at him. Those eyes were boring through him and it was starting to irritate him.

"Continue to stare, Leonhart, and I'll remove your eyes."

"Cloud! That's not nice!"

"Why are you staring at me?" Cloud stood, his eyes narrowing slightly and picking up a faint glow.

"...your hair reminds me of someone I once knew."

"OOOH! SQUALLY HAD A GIIIRLFRIEND!" Yuffie crowed, spinning from Cid to point at Leon.

Leon sighed. He had given up on correcting her. "...not a girlfriend. A guy I worked with that I couldn't stand, named Zell. He had chocobo hair too." His eyes were down, voice soft.

...My hair looks like a guy he once knew. Great.

"Squall's gone into Mr Whiney McEmo Pants mode. Thaaaaanks Cloud!" Yuffie pouted.

Cloud blinked slightly. I'm still not used to her again yet.

And what the hell is Leonhart's problem?


Yes. I know Leon's angsting a lot. Part of the story. I need him angsty. But well get his 'problems' in the air sooner or later, and let those two have some actual, semi-friendly interaction huh?

Oh. Go take the quiz at . I'm a Don't Fuck With Me Seme, same with 330.
