Cloud whimpered when he felt Squall break away from the hug, standing with uncertain eyes. He wanted to cry; maybe he was right and Squall wasn't gay and he just scared away the best friend he had. Squall kept standing in silence, his eyes wide and fearful and Cloud couldn't take it anymore.

"I'm sorry. Just, forget it." He stood up to limp to his bedroom when Squall caught his wrist and pulled him in a close hug, then into a gentle and sincere kiss.

"Cloud you have no idea how much I love you." Squall held Cloud so tightly, it hurt the blondes bruised body, but it was worth it.

"From the second I walked out of the door earlier, all I could think about was that night I slept in your arms. I'd do anything to have that night again."

"Awww!" Aerith squealed, reminding the two men holding each other that they weren't alone.

"Come on Aerith, I think these two will be just fine." Zack smiled as the couple waved goodbye and left.

"I didn't realize how late it's getting." Cloud said after the two snuggled quietly while watching an anime in Squall's bed.

"Are you getting tired?"

"Yeah. Usually I fall asleep right after Sephiroth…you know, beats me….yeah. But I didn't today and with everything that happened, I need sleep."

"I understand. You must be exhausted. Get some rest, ok?"

"Thanks. You too." Cloud sat up and all the warmth he provided left Squall.

"Cloud wait! You…you should sleep here….if you want." Squall suggested nervously.

"Really?"

"I mean, you don't have to."

"I'd love to, if you're ok with it?"

Squall nodded excitedly and Cloud returned to his place at Squall's side, snuggling into his body as close as he could get, each wrapping their arms around the other.

"Cloud, remember how you said you just wanted that one person to love you, to hold you and tell you that everythings going to be ok?"

"Yeah, I said that to you, on the best night of my life. Well, at least until this night." Cloud smiled a real and beautiful rare smile.

"Can, can I be that one person?" Clouds heart pounded at the sound of Squall's words.

"Are you asking me out? To be your boyfriend?" to hear what he was thinking made his heart want to burst.

"I'd treat you as best as I could, and I'd respect you and I'd love you Cloud. I just want to show you what a good relationship can look like."

"Squall I, I don't deserve you." Cloud said plainly and honestly to his beliefs.

"Cloud, don't say that. I'd do anything to be with you." Squall lied on his side, his head on his palm, staring into Clouds ocean-like orbs that blinked patiently with thought.

"I don't know what to say, other than I'd love to have you as my boyfriend."

Squall leaned down to give Cloud a sweet kiss.

"I love you Cloud, and I love how you're now mine."

"I love you too, Squall, and I'm so lucky to have you." Clouds eyes were closed on their own and he didn't know how he managed to stay awake for so long during such an exhausting day. Squall chuckled lightly.

"Go to bed."

"Will you hold me till I fall asleep?" Cloud drowsily asked, knowing that wasn't far away.

"I will hold you till you wake up." Squall kissed Cloud's temple, birthing a smile form the half asleep younger man.

"Goodnight Squall, love you."

"Night baby, I love you too."

Not even a full minute later Squall could hear Cloud breathe deeply as he slept, and when the sore but happy blonde awoke, he found that Squall had kept his promise as he cradled his boyfriend through the night.

Author's Note: So that is the end, I'm sorry that it's such a short story, but again, it was originally written with my own created characters before I even had an account on here so I just changed the names and left it as is. I chose not to add a lemon because, well I have a bunch of other stories with lemons and I wanted to keep this story cute and sweet ^_^ So I hope you liked it.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I don't think I'll be able to post for the next few days as I probably wont have much access to internet since I'm moving back to college. However, when I am able to post again, I'll be posting a short, one chapter fanfiction where the gang (soriku, akuroku, Zemyx, and Namine & Kairi) go to Disneyland! It's just something small I wrote while I actually was at Disneyland and wondered what it would be like if the group went. So be on the look out for that! Thanks for reading!

To RoxasVentusHikari: YAY! Welcome back! Lol. Good to hear from you ^_^ Lol, yes, I do have a thing for messed up relationships. If they weren't messed up, where's the drama? Where's the motivation to read? I'm just a very …..bold person lol. I like reading/writing drama and angst, but you know that lol. I'm glad you like it, and it would be cool to extend it, but I'm working on 18 other fics, including sequels and extensions and new KH yaoi's, so I'm pretty booked as of now . But I'll definitely give it some thought. Thanks for reviewing!

To 18plusforme: Yes! I'm glad that you like it! I would love to see Cloud confess to Leon….Squall…whichever you prefer lmao.

To UltimateNinjaofDoom: …..I didn't write a lemon . I know that all of my stories so far are rated MMMM and are super dirty and lemon-filled, so I tried to keep this one …pure? More simple and just sweet love I guess. But if enough people request it, I would totally write a lemon bonus chapter for this ;) lol. It'd be a while before it's up though, but again, that'd be if enough people wanted it.

To Shadowridge: Wow….that sounds complicated! And intense. I'm curious to read it! Where are you from? Does it snow? I've only seen snow once, and it was more like falling ice…maybe it was just really white hail lol.

Thank you everyone for reading!

PLEASE READ: If anyone wanted to read a lemon for this, just review/message me a request, it doesn't even have to say anything more than "Lemon" (you could say plz if you want lol jk) but yea, I don't want to write it if no one really wants to read it, but I don't want to disappoint if anyone was expecting one, and I know that this last chapter was short. Thought I'd just put the option out. Thanks!

Love, Sarabellum
