Disclaimer I don't own... Never will, belongs too Squeenix and Disney but I am playing it and staring at Leon XD (who wouldn't?)

Thanks for everyone who has read this! BEWARE! WARNING! LEMONY ACTION IN THIS CHAPTER!! (even if a little crappy :D) Turn back now if you don't like it, if you do, stay and enjoy the goodness!

"I don't think that is such a great idea, Zack." That was the second time he had heard that in the last 24 hours! First, Leon had said it when he offered to chain Cloud up for him (it took him 5 minutes to say it though) and now Cloud had said it when he offered to chain Leonup for him! I thought they would jump at the chance! But, it was there loss...

"Oh but you know you want it! Come on, you wont even owe me anything!" He just wanted to help the blonde. The tension was rolling off him!

"I know, but Leon-"

"Wants it to! Look, something's gotta give between you two! I saw the way you looked at him yesterday when he had no shirt on, and let me say, I can't disagree with you there! He did look rather..." A groan of embarrassment escaped Cloud's lips. "What? If I were you, I'd have jumped him loooong ago! I mean seriously! But, it's not me he wants..." Zack ran a hand through his ebony hair.

"I'm not letting you chain me to a bed Zack. Just... Let me go about this in my own way, okay?" He smiled gently, which was wierd to Zack in itself.

"Uh, sure. But please please PLEASE just do something!" Grinning back, he went back into the kitchen to help Aerith with the dinner. Or so Cloud thought... Operation 'dinner for Cleon' is GO! Zack had a big surprise in store.

Strong hands held open the trap door to Merlin's secret basement. Leon peered inside. It looked safe, but you could never tell with Merlin. Slowly, he stepped down the ladder after securing the lid to the floor above him. All he had to do down here was fix a damn shelf, but it seemed like it would be harder than expected. There was...something, that glowed, all over the floor. It looked like some kind of potion Merlin could have been cooking up that had gone terribly wrong. He stepped down the few stairs.

"Oh man this is a tip... Right, now to clean it..." First, he had to move the discarded boxes and then mop the floor. This was going to take a while!

An hour later, Leon had just about had enough. The boxes were in the corner and about 3 meters of the floor was clean. I'll come back tomorrow, maybe Cloud will help. Zack seems to have enough energy to finish it... Hmm... His thoughts turned to the blonde and he stopped. Cloud was close to Zack, but how close? Jealousy began to rise in his chest. He wanted Cloud! I...I do! I can't let him go. A small smile graced his lips.

He'd make his move tonight. To test the waters... Who knew, maybe he'd be lucky!

"Zack, you better be right about this... Cloud's delicate as it is!" Aerith smiled gently at him.

"Relax, I know what I'm doing! I've got experience in this. All I gotta do is cook and then, you come in and take me away! It's foolproof, trust me!" Zack grinned and stirred the pot infront of him. He may be male, but his culinary skills were the stuff of legend!

Aerith looked on. She was worried that something would go wrong. Of course, she knew exactly how the two felt about one another, even if they didn't! But even so...

---

Leon's eyes went wide like saucers as he stepped through the door into Merlin's house. He had expected to some in to find leftovers from whatever dinner Aerith had made, or at most some toast that was warm. But no... There was a full meal of what looked like beef and a variety of colourful vegetables; and candles. Red candles in little jars. Leon was impressed. Someone had obviously taken time to do this... He felt a bit mean to intrude. Turning, he decided to leave and get a takeaway instead, but a hand grabbed his arm.

"Hey, you don't have to go. It is for us anyway." Cloud looked at his shoes, shyly. Wait, shyly? Cloud? And this is for who now? Leon was clearly confused. "I know.... I didn't expect it either but, Aerith and Zack... They are pretty deadly with persuasion." A small smile made its way onto Cloud's handsome features.

"Oh..Well, alright... If you don't mind." To be honest, Leon was jumping inside. He finally had a chance to spend time with Cloud! A plan started to form in his mind. This should be simple. I'll eat, have a drink or two and then try for a kiss... If it doesn't work out, blame the alcohol. Simple. He smiled, not meaning for it to show, but it did none the less.

"So... How's restoration in Hollow Bastion coming on?" Cloud asked, tentatively, beginning to eat slowly. Leon poured them both a glass of the deep red wine.

"Fine, I'm going back again tomorrow for a check up. You could come along and see... If you wanted to of course!" He looked up hopefully.

"Sure. I'd lo...like to. I'd like to." He picked at his food, not particularly hungry. Slender, pale fingers grasped the tall wine glass in front of him, captivating Leon's eyes. Leon hadn't noticed how small his companions physique was. It amazed him how strong the blonde swordsman was, especially with that huge weapon he carried about!

They ate in silence. Every now and again, Cloud looked up at Leon. Right... Maybe Zack was right, I should have a go at least... What's the worst that could happen? He began to debate with himself. Leon could kill him, or something like that... Or jump on him right there. Cloud started to imagine it, an encore of what had happened the other night and how Leon felt so warm...

"Cloud? Do you want some more wine?" Leon's smooth voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Uh, sure, yeah." I'm going to need it. He watched Leon as he poured another glass. Blushing, he swallowed and looked quickly away from the grey pools that met his own eyes. His nerve was dying, fast. If he didn't act soon, he'd completely chicken out. He picked up the full glass and swallowed it in one. "Er..L..Leon?" He looked away form the table, tapping his right arm. Suddenly the room had doubled in temperature...

"Mmm? What is it?" Boldly, Cloud stood and took a quick three steps around the table. He took a deep breath and leant down, seizing Leon's lips with his own. Strong arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him closer, Leon's plump lips opening slightly to offer him entrance. Moaning, Cloud pushed his tongue past them and pressed it against Leons. He straddled Leon's hips in the chair, his hands resting on Leon's shoulders. Heat quickly began to build up in his belly like a roaring fire. Then, Leon shifted his weight on the chair slightly, his hips moving against Clouds. Both of them let out moans, muffled by the others lips. Cloud gyrated his clothed groin against Leon's, breath hitching as the friction increased. It was like heaven!

"Cl...Cloud..." Leon left butterfly kisses down Cloud's neck, making the blonde shiver in delight. "Want you... Cloud..." Cloud moaned as Leon spoke, his voice deep and husky with lust.

"Have me. God, have me... Ah...!" He gasped as Leon sucked on his neck, leaving a red mark to show he was taken. He stood and heard a deep growl come from Leon. Taking the scarred man's hand, he lead them to the small sofa and pushed Leon onto it, then sat on his waist, leaning down to capture his lips again. "Leon... Are you sure, that you want this..?" His eyes searched Leon's for any hesitance.

"Damn sure, please..." Leon's eyes rolled back as his hips grinded against Clouds, making them both moan again. His pants were tighter than ever and Clouds didn't seem in any better condition. Suddenly, he stopped moving, his eyes fixed on Clouds. His left hand travelled up and stroked the soft, pale cheek and brushed down Cloud's neck until it reached the man's vest zipper. He pulled it down, revealing milky white skin an inch at a time. Cloud shrugged the vest off as the zip was undone, throwing it unceremoniously to the floor. Leon's eyes raked down his chest, admiring the muscles with both his eyes and his hands. "Gods, you're beautiful..." He pulled the man down onto him for a kiss, their tongues eagerly meeting each other, toying with each other. Cloud's hands reached under his torso to push his hands under Leon's white t-shirt. Leaning back, he looked down at the brunette with half-lidded eyes and pushed the white piece of cloth over Leon's chest.

Cloud's mouth went dry. Leon was amazing... He knew the man had muscle, he'd seen him without a shirt on before, but when he looked at him now... It was like Leon was a piece of art. Cloud ran his handss down the slughtly tanned skin, making Leon shiver. His mako blue eyes shined as he leaned down and placed open mouthed kisses along the muscles, a moan from the brunette urging him on. A hand delicately ran fingers through his hair and he purred slightly in respoonse, his hair was always a slight weak point of his. His hands made quick work of the numerous belts, he didn't expect them to be so easy to remove! Slipping his hand inside, he rubbed it against the large bulge in Leon's boxers.

"Oongg...Cloud!" Leon moans loudly, his head flopping back onto the arm of the sofa. He thrust his hips up gently to try and get more of that friction, more of that heat but Cloud removed it. Leon's eyes flickered up, watching as Cloud undid the button and zipper of his pants. His own hands went to help, but they seemed to have a mind of their own. They pushed the material slightly down Cloud's thighs and carressed the skin their, his eyes watching as Cloud let out a pleasured sigh. It didn't seem to be enough for either of them as Cloud pulled Leon's pants down more and pushed his own half way down his thighs. Lowering himself back down, Cloud let out a deep, strained groan as he rubbed their bodies together. Leon grinded his hips up into Cloud's, his head feeling to heavy to hold up. "Nng.. Gods, Cloud..." His voice sent shivers down Cloud's spine.

"Ah...Leon..!" Another Gasp flew from Cloud's lips as Leon flipped them over, straddling Cloud's hips and grinding against them. He leaned down, capturing a nipple in-between his teeth, sucking on it. "Leooon..!!" Cloud's hips bucked up harder, his hands pulling at Leon's boxers. Leon understood and pulled back up, pushing his pants off his legs and removing his boxers. He pulled Cloud's pants and undergarments off after, his hands resting on creamy thighs and eyes raking over every inch of Cloud's body. Cloud pulled him back down, their bodies flush together as he kissed Leon roughly. They moved against eachother, their erections sliding over one-another and both men were panting harshly as they broke their kiss. Leon lifted his hips up, nuzzling his head in Cloud's neck, and grasped Cloud's member in his hand. He stroked it, thumb toying with the head. Cloud let out a drawn out moan as his hips thrust into the welcome heat. Leon's hand moved faster, rubbing his own throbbing hard-on against a pale hip.

"Cloud, Leon? Are you in here?" Aerith's voice startled them, Leon falling backwards off the sofa. He looked up desperately at Cloud. Oh Gods, what are gonna do! He quickly put his t-shirt on and tried to calm himself down.

"W..Were here, Aerith..D-don't come in yet!" He threw Cloud his vest, thankfull he hadn't thrown it anywhere to far. Cloud was angry, it seemed. He pulled his clothes on quickly, as did Leon. It only took a minute but they were both still very aroused. Only a few moments more and I'm sure we would have... Aerith opened the door to the living room and smiled at them, she didn't seem to notice that Leon's shirt was on backwards or that Cloud's face was red like a tomato.

"Nice meal boys? Oh, and do try to dress better next time!" She winked at them, walking through and into another room. When the door had shut, Leon turned to Cloud.

"Well... Th-thanks, Leon. I uh... Should get going... Goodnight." Cloud pulled Leon towards him, kissing him softly and chastly, before pulling back and walking out of the front door. Leon took a seat on the sofa, eyes blinking confusedly.

"Good...night?" He would definately need a cold shower now.

YES it is done... I'm so sorry about the wait!!!
But hopefully it was worth it?
R&R please, and you'll get muffins!
