So this is the first real drabble that crosses over with 'Fragments of Memories'. Bet you can't spot where!

Just a musing on Cloud's and Leon's relationship. Pairs with the previous chapter.

Disclaimer: SquareEnix owns a lot.


Friendship: being friends; friendly disposition felt or shown.

You couldn't call it 'hanging out'. All they did was stand next to each other. It's not like they even talked. Still there was a comfortableness about it.

They were stood on the balcony, near the bailey, over looking the town. Leon stood, or rather leaned against the wall, forearms resting on top. Cloud also leaned against the wall, resting on his elbows, but his back was to the town and his face raised to the sky.

They had been stood there for some time, not talking, but that was nothing new.

"Are sins ever forgiven?" Leon's sudden question surprised him, so he answered with the first thing that came into his head.

"I've never tried" He knew that wasn't the answer his friend was looking for, but it was all he had, so he kept his gaze on the sky.

"Tried?" Leon seemed confused, "Tried." The brunette moved away from the wall, making his way back into town.

Cloud watched him go. It wasn't in the nature of their friendship for him to ask "What sins?"
