Chapter Two

Leon sighed as his alarm clock blared to life. He quickly shook off whatever sleep was left in him as he switched it off. He rubbed his eyes and swung out of bed. The boy's parents were out this month on a business trip, so he had to make his own breakfast and quick. And the boy wasn't that great of a cook.

How did I burn cereal? He wondered, poking at the charred Fruit Loops. There was a knock at the door that made him quickly throw away the food. Leon grabbed his pack and ran to the front of the house. He opened the door and looked down to find an impatient aqua eyed eight year old. "You ready yet?" he asked impatient.

Leon rolled his eyes at the little monster and kicked him so he could get out of the house. The little boy stuck out his tongue and ran back to his mother's car. "Good morning Auntie!" Leon greeted as he threw Riku from the front seat and into the back. He took the seat belt and clicked it in, closing his door afterwards.

They drove off quietly while Riku sat in the back planning his cousin's demise. Once they reached the school Riku ecstatically jumped out and Leon thanked his Aunt before following after the child. With his back pack slung over his shoulder he jogged to his side of the school to go look for his friends.

"SQUALLY WALLY!" Leon shuddered as that horrid nick name floated in the air. He nearly turned a shade of green. "Yuffie…" he greeted through clenched teeth. Tidius chuckled behind his hand. 'Squally' made sure to send him the best death glare he could muster. "Where's Aerith?" he asked when he saw their table was lacking people.

Yuffie rolled her eyes and pointed across the yard. Leon's gaze traveled to Aerith and Selphie hiding behind some shrubby as Cloud entered in a huff as usual. Leon's brown eyes brightened as Cloud came into his view. The boy seemed in desperate need of help when Selphie and Aerith grabbed him and pulled him over to the table.

Cloud squeaked when he was dropped on top of the table. Yuffie sighed and poked at Cloud. "Hey there. Why didn't you eat lunch with us yesterday?" she questioned. Cloud's face lit up and he looked at his hands. "Sorry. I didn't know you wanted me to." He answered sheepishly.

Leon chuckled at the blonde's embarrassment. The blond would have glared, but he realized as he watched his hands that the bandages were slowly peeling off. He hopped off the top of the table and apologized. "I got to go and take of something. I'll see you in class!" Cloud said as he took off. Leon blinked, surely Cloud wasn't that humiliated?

After School Again

"See? That's the kid that pushed me." The silver haired second grader pointed out to a blond kid. His older, third grade friend nodded. "So I see." He answered solemnly. Both silently went back to staring at the two young boys who looked so similar. Finally the red haired boy nodded to Riku. Riku grinned and both boys went running to the twins.

Roxas blinked as something whizzed past him and hit the ground. It exploded into a splash of water. He growled and turned around, shielding his twin in the process. The twins stood up to two older graders. A silver haired punk and his red haired pyro-pal. "What do you jerks want?" Roxas snarled.

The red one raised an eyebrow. "You were right, he does have an attitude." He agreed with Riku. Riku stood a little stupefied, eyes glued to Sora's figure. "And a really cute twin." The second grader added. Riku smiled and dropped his water balloon. "Hey! Wanna be my friend?" he called over Roxas' shoulder. Sora blinked and looked at his twin.

He shyly hid behind his brother. "Axel, you scared him!" Riku accused. Axel sighed, much use to Riku's sudden unbelievable antics. He turned back to his silver haired friend. "Don't you want the blond one to pay?" he asked, almost tired. Riku rubbed his head in thought for a moment. Finally he shrugged in the 'Why not?' fashion and picked up his balloons again.

Roxas shouted as he was pelted by water balloons. Sora began to cry as he was also hit, and drenched to the bone. "Hey!" a stern voice yelled. Riku immediately tensed. Axel made a groan. Both boys turned around in time to see Leon stop right in front of them, arms crossed with a dangerous expression on his face.

"What did you two runts do?" Leon growled, fully ready to beat the little snots to oblivion. Roxas launched out to attack one of them, but Sora caught him about the waist. He began claw and reaching out to the other three. "Just you wait until my older brother hears about this! He's going to kick your ass!" Roxas screeched.

Sora gasped and held tighter. "Roxas! Don't curse!" Sora tried holding on but he was too weak against his twin's fury. Leon, knowing a problem when he saw one, leapt into action and helped Sora hold the boy down. Riku backed up behind Axel. "That kid is seriously crazy!" Riku exclaimed.

It only caused Roxas to bite and scratch at Leon's arms. "Let me go! Let me go! Cloud! CLOUD!" Roxas was yelling at the top of his lungs. Leon nearly dropped the boy when he heard the name come from the child. "Cloud!" Sora called when he turned and saw their elder sluggishly walking across the yard.

Cloud's head snapped up. He gasped and dropped his bag as he ran to grab Roxas from the older male's hold. Having dealt with Roxas in a rage before, he quickly snatched out a piece of his blond hair. Roxas gave a squeak and dived into Cloud's chest. "Why did you do that?" was his muffled question. Cloud sighed and rubbed his back.

"Because you're a brat." Cloud said fondly. Roxas made a tired groan and fell into his older brother. "I'm sleepy." He said quietly. Cloud patted his head and lifted him up. Sora walked up slowly and held up his hand. The eldest took the child's hand with a free one. Leon, all the while, was watching the interlude confused.

Cloud turned back to the dark haired teen. He bowed a little in apology. "I'm sorry. If I wasn't late Roxas wouldn't have started anything." Cloud apologized. Riku leaned up and whispered in Axel's ear. Axel nodded in solemn agreement. They both rushed forward and bowed at Cloud. "We're sorry, it was our fault." The boys sang in chorus.

Both Cloud and Leon blinked. Roxas mumbled something, and Sora giggled behind his older brother's back. Riku found himself grinning. Axel was just staring up at Cloud curiously. Leon… was almost terrified. He knew those two were up to no good. "Oh… Well. Alright. You're forgiven. I guess we'll see you later." Cloud replied.

He turned and quietly made his walk home with his brothers. A slight nervousness was in his belly. Some how or another, Cloud knew this little interlude today would bring about some changes. Good or bad… The winds were blowing quite fiercely.

"Dude, those guys are so cute." Axel pointed out perversely. Riku nodded harshly. Leon opened his mouth to scold them, but ended up sighing. His Aunt drove up and soon the school kids piled in the car. Leon climbed in and buckled up as she began to pull away.

"Have a nice day at school, kids?" she inquired good-naturedly. A look was shared in the back seat. Riku laughed to himself as he thought about what just occurred. Axel was still quiet in his thoughts. Leon glared at them from the mirror. "You could defiantly say it was interesting." He answered. The poor woman looked at the boys curiously before focusing on the road.

Boys will be boys, she thought. And indeed, boys will always be boys.

A/N: Alright, that was quite short. I'm depressed now. But I had serious writers block. Plus, this is only the second chapter. It's not that fast or great if I may be a critic.

So… Basically, you learned a bit more about Leon. Just a bit, and let me just say, I am so stuck in my ways of pairings. Don't ask why. There are a few exceptions where I like one character with more than another (not at the same time you perverts).

Such as Harry from Harry Potter. I like him with either Draco or Hermione. But I'm off subject.

I didn't really know how to end it. I hope you enjoyed it. I thought it was cute in my mind. I just realized though, the brothers are all ukes. It made me laugh. Hysterically so. And in a restaurant as I was going over some scenes in my head.

Incase you are wondering why, I skipped the school scenes because I had none. Plus, I really wanted to introduce Riku and Axel's connection to Sora and Roxas. Then that gives a bigger connection to Leon and Cloud. DON'T ask how. The story hasn't unfolded it yet. These first few chapters are only about introducing characters.

I don't think Yuffie and the others have much to do in this. They just kind of drift in and out during school. Kind of like my brain during math classes.

Leon burned cereal. Ha! My brother has done that. Don't ask how, he won't tell me his secret. Also I love Riku in this. So funny. I can just see it all play out. Axel is… meh. I haven't really done anything to his character yet. He just kind of showed up.

I feel so sad though… Poor Cloud! I couldn't beat up on him in this one. And Sora cries a lot too. Well… He was always crying and whining anyways. Oh and Roxas. Yeah, he has some anger issues. But, with an abusive father, one is bound to be angry all the time. But in the game Roxas did have a bit of a temper. I just magnified it. The whole hair thing will be explained later so just wait.

Jeez, I feel so evil doing that to all of my poor babies…

That's all for now. Love you reviewers! –Kiss kiss, Hug hug-
