Mini Chapter 7.5 – Extra, Leon and Cloud

"Did you see the look on her face?" Leon and Cloud burst into their bedroom on the verge of collapsing from laughter. "She about died of embarrassment when she figured out we're gay." Leon slumps down to the floor, a hand on his bare chest trying to keep his lungs from falling out of his body.

A little more discreet about privacy, Cloud closes the door before turning around. "At least wait until no one can hear you." Winter break already stared and they decided to go to a hot spring this year. They try to go out once a year at least and after that Sephiroth nightmare they definitely need the time alone. Cloud always loves hot springs so they tried a new place and haven't felt so relaxed in a long time. Lounging all day in robes, what could be better? Though he's wearing his properly wrapped with a tight belt… he's not opposed to Leon's robe hanging half open, exposing most of his chest. In the least no one can say he's not relaxed, that's for sure.

The brunette is still cracking up. "I don't know what was funnier. That fact that she was flirting with you for an hour. Or the fact that I had to take your hand for her to get it." He finally covers his face and sighs, collapsing from laughing. "Her face… it was so funny."

Sitting beside him, the blonde sighs. "She's definitely going to be suspicious every time she draws a bath now." He slaps him on the chest but the hit was too gentle to mean anything. "From now on she'll always give us the 'did you just have sex' face."

"That's fine. I don't care what anyone thinks." Reaching up he grabs a handful of his robe and pulls him down so his head is on his chest. They lay like this for a few minutes in silence, the sound of Leon's heartbeat in Cloud's ear. "I wonder what the guys are doing…"

"Hmmm." For some reason Cloud can't picture them doing anything productive… or safe… in fact he definitely can't see them keeping the house clean either. It'll probably be a disaster when they get back. "Nothing good." He sits up to look him in the eyes. "In fact I'm surprised you're relaxed about it. Usually when we leave you're half stressed like you might go home and the house will be gone."

Leon smiles, closing his eyes. "It's different now. Those guys… they've calmed down a lot since last year."

"It's because of Sora, isn't it?"

"Of course it is. They're happy now, which is really unusual after all this times." He finally sits up, resting his arms on his knees. "Do you know how hard it is to find a roommate that's willing to live with three other guys? Every time we found someone Riku would fight with them until they decided to move out. It was annoying."

Cloud just smiles. "I like how you blame it wholly on Riku. Axel is just as annoying when it comes to roommates he doesn't like."

"Yea, but now it's different. They like Sora and he brought Roxas in and everyone seems happy now. I don't feel like I need to worry about the house still standing when we go home." Somehow during the conversation they moved closer to each other, Leon lifting his hand to gently brush hair out of Cloud's face. "When we go home. I like the sound of that."

"I dunno. I could stay here forever." Removing the hand he tries to stand up but Leon grabs him by the belt and pulls him into his lap.

"I mean the fact that it's our home. Not leaving… you heard wrong on purpose didn't you?" Just to be mean he tries to undo his robe but Cloud fights him off. "You're a monster."

"Thank you." Somehow he escapes, holding out one hand to help the other man to his feet. "You want to go enjoy the hot spring again?"

"No, I'll get dizzy from the heat we've been in there so much today." He ruffles his own hair before pulling the other man closer, his fingers grabbing his butt so he can't escape. "I like it when you're not wearing your pants. It takes forever to undo all your buckles. I practically fall asleep before I'm done."

Cloud grabs the hands and removes them. "That's strange because I constantly seem to be pantsless around you. I must miss the part where you fall asleep." He turns to walk away and ends up against his chest for however many times it's been now. "What is it with you and grabbing me this week? I can't move when you do that."

A little laugh comes from under his breath. "I just can't control myself when I know you're not wearing anything but this robe. My hands have a mind of their own." With a swift hand Leon unties Cloud's belt and yanks it off.

The blonde scrambles to keep his robe from flying open. "We're really close to having dinner and I don't want the hostess to come in here while I'm naked and being molested by you, okay?" He seems to agree but the look in his eye is the opposite of what Cloud wants to see. "Be good for ten minutes stupid."

"I'll be good until we eat… since you asked." They both just stare at each other. Conveniently timed, someone knocks at the door before sliding it open and announces dinner. Cloud turns and walks away, still missing his belt but trying not to make it obvious. Leon helps the woman bring in her trays and she sets everything out on the table for them. Awkwardly she says nothing as she sets out the different plates, glancing at Leon every once in a while but looking away if he ever catches her. Eventually she leaves and he thanks her, swinging Cloud's belt in his hand like a toy until she closes the door. The blonde returns with a new belt and he waves at the food. Somehow they sit down to eat without fighting. "Even though I keep embarrassing you are you still enjoying yourself?"

"Of course I am. And you're always embarrassing so I don't see why that would change my opinion…" He continues eating without looking up.

Leon grunts. "Cloud." They both stop because his voice is so serious. "You know I wouldn't bring anyone here but you." The silence is deafening. "I want to be with you forever. Until we grow old and wither… or get killed. Whichever."

Making a face the blonde continues to eat. "This isn't like you. What's gotten into you?" They both continue eating, Cloud watching Leon even though he doesn't answer. "Are you being honest with your own feelings right now? That doesn't happen very often."

Now it's Leon's turn to make a face. "A few things have opened my eyes lately. I don't want to lose you… if you want me to spell everything out." He looks up at Cloud who's stopped eating to listen. Reaching across the table he takes his hand. "I suck at living without you." They both smile and finally Leon stands up to move around the table. "It doesn't matter where I am as long as we can be together. I want to make a life with you. Maybe even have little babies one day." He starts to rub Cloud's belly, laying his head on his shoulder.

Elbowing his idiot lover in the head, Cloud moves away, standing up and crossing his arms. "Very romantic and all that… except you can't impregnate me so don't rub my belly, freak."

The brunette snickers. "We'll worry about that in the future."

"I'll kill you…" But Cloud can't help but smile at the underlying phrase, before Leon lets his mouth get the better of him. "Was it because of the arguing from Sephiroth? Is that why you're getting all weird on me?" He receives a snort so obviously that means yes. "He's the only person that ever caused us problems. Are you sure you want to put up with my shit forever. What if something like that happens again?" He's flattered by being loved so much, but somehow when someone believes in him so thoroughly it's frightening.

"We always work through it. No matter what the problem is." Leon gets to his feet to pull Cloud into a hug since he keeps running away. He continues to whisper in his ear, kissing his cheek. "We're meant to be together. Like soul mates or whatever. I know you believe that. I'm never serious enough to tell you how much I need you… so just listen like you might never hear it again." Swallowing the knot in his throat, Cloud rests his forehead on his lover's shoulder. "Let me love you and protect you. I want you when you're happy or sad or angry, even when you want to hit me I still love you. Let me take care of you."

With a smile they part to look into each other's eyes. "Are you proposing to me?"

"Not at the moment, but I can if you're in a hurry." He just shrugs and is answered with a fist in the chest.

"You're so… overwhelming sometimes… you know that?" He pulls him so roughly against his lips they fall to the floor. Shoving Cloud flat on his back Leon climbs up between his legs to continue kissing, even as his robe falls away from one leg, sending a shiver up his spine.

Suddenly there's a knock at the door and they have time to sit up before the woman opens it. Thankfully her eyes are momentarily closed as she asks if they're done eating so they have time to fix their disheveling robes. Cloud turns his back to her because his face is bright red and he's having a miniature heart attack from being so surprised. Leon on the other hand starts laughing. "We're not done eating quite yet." She smiles awkwardly when she opens her eyes, trying not to ask why they're nowhere near the table before she shuts the door.

Clearing his throat the blonde moves back to the table, shooing Leon to his own side. "It's great they worry about their customers… but honestly… that was horrible timing."

"Was it because your junk was hanging out in the breeze?" Immediately that starts a food fight but it lasts for two seconds because neither want to keep food from their stomachs. It's too tasty.

"Is it impossible for us to sit down and have a normal dinner? I swear we never can." He takes another bite, glancing over at the brunette who's finishing off his drink. "You're stupid."

"Thank you." Completely unaffected Leon smiles. "Finish eating. When she comes to collect the plates it will be our last interruption." They eat quietly and she arrives as they finish up, taking their plates without comment. When he's convinced she's out of hearing distance he laughs. "Now all our waitresses are so awkward!"

"It's your fault! You should have just let that girl flirt with me instead of getting all touch feely and making her feel awkward. She probably told everyone…" Covering his face with his hands the blonde whines for a minute but it's too late to complain now.

"Oh well." Leon snickers like always since he's practically unaffected by all opinions. "Should we take a bath?"

"Why, so you can molest me? Go by yourself."

"Stop being so stubborn. I can tell you want me to fuck your brains out right now. Should we do that before showering then?" He receives a silent glare. "You're such a baby sometimes. Come here." Of course he has to get up and chase after him for a minute before catching him, little monster. "We don't need any kids since we're both still childish… is that it?"

With a smile they begin to kiss again, "We'll never act any older. You should know that about yourself." Without untying his belt Cloud slides his hands inside of Leon's robes. "After all that confessing should I let you play with me how you like?"

"You loved it I'm sure, but I always do what I like. You just like it too." Sweeping the slightly smaller man off his feet he carries him to the bed which they never seem to pick up. Laying him down he pushes his legs open and the robe falls away. "Should I defile you in your robe? It seems more perverted than usual, not allowing you to get naked."

Cloud moves to grab his belt but Leon knocks his hands away. "You're going to be cruel and wait for me to beg?" He makes a pout face but Leon's hands are already molesting him, fingers running across his toned stomach and over his thighs as he strokes him. His words turn into moans as his fingers lace through his lover's hair, his head dipping down between his legs to taste his shaft. "Leon… that feels so good…"

When he starts squirming and his legs begin to shake the brunette pulls away. "Here, come over to the window." He sits in the nook of the window, leaning back against the sill on his elbows. With one hand he grabs a fistful of blonde hair and pulls his lover towards his hard-on. "Make me feel good too." Warm lips assault him and his head falls back against the windowsill. Closing his eyes to enjoy the feeling he sighs in appreciation, one hand still wrapped in that soft hair. When he opens his eyes a face comes into view and he jumps in shock, hunching forward over his lover who groans with a full mouth before pulling away.

"What was that for?" Cloud wipes the corner of his lips with a frown.

Leon bursts into laughter. "I think our neighbor just saw me getting head… though I don't think he could see you. That scared the hell out of me." He laughs again but looks at Cloud. "Are you alright? I practically choked you just now."

He just shakes his head. "I'm fine." Silently he stands up and turns to walk away. "I'll go bathe first since you're so easily distracted."

As fast as lightning Leon's across the room and pulls off his belt. "Don't play hard to get. That's rude." Cloud scrambles to keep his robe closed again but Leon turns him around, sliding his arms out of his robe so it hangs around his waist.

"Rude?" He laughs, fighting off the hands trying to sneak inside. Somehow they end up on the floor again and Cloud's robe is tossed aside, unwanted. Teeth delicately nibble on his nipple and he gasps. "You're rude… teasing me this much."

"Fine." The smirk that spreads across Leon's face is full of lust. "You want me inside you?" He flips him onto his stomach and bends him over. "So lewd, wanting it this badly." He sucks on his own fingers before sliding them into his lover who relaxes into the feeling almost instantly. "Your body's already hungry for me."

The blonde straightens up and turns enough for a kiss. "That's because you taste so good."

"You make me crazy." He kisses him once more before shoving him to the floor and climbing on top, pushing inside his lover and receiving a moan in return. Reaching around he begins to stroke him and move inside him slowly, almost too slowly, smiling at the groan he lets out. "Tell me what you want." Still rubbing him he forces him to straighten up, pinned against his chest.

He's almost breathless from the sudden kiss that keeps him from speaking. Between that, the hand caressing him and Leon inside him, how can he even remember how to speak? Somehow they switch positions and he's in his lap, moving against him but a hand against his hips is holding him back. "Fuck, Leon… harder. Let me move." The hand relents and he's able to move again, thrusting his hips faster against his lovers cock. They move again and he's bent over the table, everything thrown to the floor as usual. Both hands move to his hips for leverage as moans fill the room; Cloud desperately tries to rest his head on his arm, unable to melt into the table even as he clutches at the edge with his other hand. "Faster, baby, faster." The sudden feeling building inside him catches the moans in his throat and suddenly he's on his back, arms wrapped around Leon who's moaning in his ear as they fuck. The blonde digs his nails into his lover's back as he's about to finish and Leon thrusts into him faster and faster until they both climax and he removes his hands, breathing heavily as they lay on the floor.

The brunette rolls over to grab the discarded robe and hands it to his lover. "Now we can take a bath." He leans over to kiss him on the lips but gets the corner of his mouth. "You feel better?"

Cloud just snickers, "Let's go." He sits up and slides his robe on, not bothering to close it since he has no belt anyhow. Not that it matters anymore. They head into the bathroom and wash before running the bath and climbing into the warm water.

Leon's still smiling. "You feel better… like usual."

"You fuck like a beast. Stop asking." Even though Cloud glares he still can't keep from laughing. "You feel better, obviously."

"I always feel amazing with you. You're like magic."

"Magic?" He snorts. "Well, thank you… I suppose." He sinks into the water a little farther. "We'll have to clean up… again…"

"Again." Leon repeats. "Cleaning up is unavoidable. We destroy everything… we won't have to clean up when we're at home." He thinks about it for a minute and realizes Cloud always cleans up the room eventually… so maybe it is unavoidable. "Well… having less crazy sex isn't really an option."

"Agreed. Not an option." They both laugh and enjoy their bath, eventually with Cloud sitting in Leon's lap, leaning back against him, fingers laced together on his stomach underwater. "That thing you said… about wanting to make a life with me. Is that truth? You always want to be with me?"

"I do." The brunette nuzzles into his neck. "You didn't believe me?"

"Shut up… I believe you." He splashes water in his face. "What I'm asking is… would you really want to have a kid? You want a baby?"

He thinks about what he'd said earlier. "Why not? Starting a life together, having a family, don't those kind of go hand in hand?"

The blonde just sighs. "I suppose that's true. But how? You had some idea I can guess… what was it?"

Leon laughs a little. "I've been caught. You knew that whole time I'd been thinking about it." His answer is silence. "Sometimes you know me too well. Of course you're right. I was thinking… we could ask someone to carry a baby for us. Someone we can trust, obviously… that way it will still be our genes." He receives silence again. "I mean a baby exactly like me? I'd love that little guy to death." Water washes over his face again. "Stop that."

"Sometimes you're so…. in love with me it's embarrassing." Cloud clears his throat, his cheek bright red from listening. He shakes his head. "Then who would we ask? We'll have to look… but that could take a long time."

A sly smile spreads across Leon's face. "Then you're saying you wanna have my babies." He jumps him and they fight for a minute, throwing water everywhere before Leon pulls him into a kiss.

"You just fucked me… I am not a woman. Stop saying that." He tries to escape the tub but Leon's too strong and he's back in his lap again. He feels his hardness against his ass. "Already? You want more again? Do I feel that good?"

"You have no idea." Before he can escape he's inside him again and water is spilling over the tub, creating another mess to clean up.
