Squall finds himself in a new dimension, plus he finds himself stuck with three of the most different people, who's names are Cloud, Tidus and those four ever survive? based on FF Dissidia. Warning: CloudXSquall in later chapters. Seme Cloud!

Chapter 10: You're the only one breaking me down like that.
So how long till we're at Lock? Zidane asked being tired from all that walking they did the past weeks.
Not too long I guess, the traveler said that it would be 2 days from the mountain. Squall answered while searching for some food in their bag.
We´ve been travelling for 2 days now, so it won´t be far right? Zidane said while looking up to his tall friend.
Right. Squall answered while handing him an apple.
I wonder who the next warrior is. Tidus wondered while taking a bite out of his own apple.
We'll see at the party. Cloud said not being in the mood for a serious conversation. He already was bummed because of Squall, they hadn't really talked after the incident. Only the typical words were said. Like "Sleep well" or "Here's your food". So he didn't want the whole "You'll have to fight the warriors or else the worlds will be doomed." situation in his head also. Although he knew that he should focus on that instead of Squall.
Right..Tidus answered being quite annoyed with his friend's moody behavior.
Squall just looked at his apple feeling guilty.
_
Look there's a bulletin board! Zidane said while running towards it.
Is there any information about a party? Squall asked his tiny friend who blocked his sight.
Hm, It's says that's it's at the kings palace. Zidane said while rubbing his chin.
Well there goes my idea of a disco. Tidus mocked while crossing his arms.
It will be hard to get in.. we aren't exactly royalty. Squall said while looking at his own and his partners clothes, who we're badly torn because of all the fight's they've been through.
No problem! I'll get us some fine clothes! Zidane said with shiny eyes.
You're not gonna steal again are you? Tidus said while bending over to look his friend in the eye.
What? How could you even think that I would do that! I'm so disappointed in you Tidus, it seems that you don't know me at all..Zidane said while faking tears.
No of course not, just like the time you took that poor man's wedding ring! Tidus said while smacking him.
I was gonna burrow it! Zidane said in his defense while smacking him back.
How can you burrow a wedding ring?! Tidus asked as he made wild gestures with his hands.
Uhh, to pierce it? Zidane said with a smile that was about to creak. Tidus just looked at him like he was a father that found out that his child did something naughty.
Okay, so what if I tried to steal it! But this time I'll just go burrow the stuff, when the party's over I'll bring them back alright?! Zidane said while having a big pout on his face.
Fine, but I'm going with you! Tidus said as he followed his friend to get some clothes, leaving Cloud and Squall alone.
It's going to take a lot more than just fine clothes I'm afraid. Squall sighed. He looked at Cloud who didn't said anything, making Squall to look away pissed.
I'm going to try to make some connections with some royals, your coming or not? Squall said as he walked past the handsome blonde.
Fine. Cloud said as he followed.
_
Finding some royals on the streets was easy, you could easily spot them with their fancy clothes and with an "I'm too good for you" attitude.
Excuse me sir. Squall said to a gentlemen who just looked at him dirty. Squall sighed for the hundred time. Everyone was just so stock up. Squall looked at Cloud who was talking to another gentlemen but with the same expression on his face. But then a young lady came into the picture also looking very fancy, it looked like she had an interested in Cloud. Squall being curious walked towards a wall that was standing close to the pair, to hear them out.
Oh don't mind my daddy he can be so stock up sometime. She said while giving Cloud a flirty smile.
I didn't even noticed, miss? Cloud answered while he asked her name.
It's Gillian Rose. She said while she pulled her arm out.
It's a pleasure to meet you miss Rose. Cloud said charming as he kissed her hand.
Oh just call me Gillian, sir? Gillian said while looked in Cloud's mako eyes.
Cloud Strife. He answered.
So mister Strife, are you going to the king's ball this evening? She asked while she played with her hair.
Well in fact I am miss Gillian. Cloud said still being charming.
Well perhaps I´ll see you there. She said while smiling.
I´m certain you will. He said while kissing her hand again to say goodbye for now. Then he watched her walking towards her father. When he turned he felt himself being pulled in a corner.
What the hell was that?! He saw Squall say it with a not friendly face.
I just made it easier for us to get to the party, so why are you pissed? Cloud asked while he smacked Squall´s hands of him.
Whatever, what a low way to do so. Squall said with an irritated look on his face. Squall was pissed, flirting with that girl was totally unnecessary, they could have found another way into the palace. And he didn´t like how flirty the two were at all, who does she think she is, miss fancy dress who I´ll hope you´ll fall fat on your face because of it.
What do you mean a low way?! If you´ve got something to say than say it Leonheart! Cloud said while he took Squall his shoulder firmly.
Grr why don´t you just go flirt with that fancy girl of yours again! He said while he looked away from Cloud.
What the hell is wrong with you! Cloud yelled while he took Squall´s face to make him look into his own eyes.
What´s wrong with me? You´re the one who´s being all weird since the ruined city! Squall yelled back pushing Cloud backwards.
That´s none of your business. Cloud said while looking at the ground. He couldn´t tell Squall that he was bummed because Squall had rejected him, or that he felt so embarrassed that he didn´t even wanted to look him in the eye.
What happened? This isn´t the Cloud I know. He said. Even though he knew why Cloud was acting so strange, Cloud probably hated him because Squall leaned him to kiss him. Only Cloud didn´t answered him.
Fine, be that way. I´ll see you later back at the bulletin board. Squall said as he walked away to leave Cloud alone with another heartbreak.
_
Look what we´ve got! Zidane said while he pulled out some nice made suits to show them.
Great. Squall said still being a little upset because of the argument he had with Cloud.
Yeah nice job. Cloud said while avoiding contact with Squall.
Is something the matter? Tidus asked as he noticed that Cloud wasn´t the only one anymore who looked upset.
Hm? Oh no don´t worry about it, let´s just put on our clothes alright? Squall said trying to put a smile on his face for his two younger friends but failed miserably.
Cloud was the first to finish so he went to the party alone leaving his friends, Tidus and Zidane quickly followed him as he walked away still buttoning up their shirts and with only one leg in their pants. Squall just watched them not hurrying at all. When he looked at the mirror to see himself, his only wish was to go home.
_
Cloud! Cloud over here! When Cloud looked around he saw that Gillian was waving at him.
Hello Gillian, why don´t you look stunning this evening. He said with the same charming smile he had this afternoon.
Oh stop, you embarrass me. She said as her cheeks went red.
He´s good. Zidane said while being proud of himself for being such a role model.
Oh and who are these people? Gillian asked while she looked at Zidane and Tidus.
Well I´m Tidus Fernandes miss. Tidus said polite while shaking her hand.
And I´m Zidane Tribal. He said while he winked at her.
And this is Squ…Tidus tried to say but stopped when he noticed that his brunette friend wasn´t with them.
Hey, where's Squall? Zidane asked while looking around to find his friend.
He´d probably got himself lost or something…Anyway sir, when you see a man named Squall Leonheart would you please let him in, he´s with us. Cloud said with confidence to the bodyguard.
Of course sir. The man said thinking Cloud was some kind of important royal.
Tidus and Zidane just looked at Cloud with their faces making clear that they weren´t happy with his behavior.
_
They were at the party for half an hour now, still no sign of the warrior or Squall. Cloud started to get worried, what if Squall was fighting the warrior right now? He couldn´t go check because of Gillian who talked his ears off. He saw Zidane with a few woman flirting while Tidus was plundering the buffet.
Cloud? Are you listening? He heard Gillian say.
Uh, yes of course Gillian. Please continue. He answered while he really wanted her to shut up. She was a pretty girl with long brown curls and shiny green eyes that looked like full of life. But Cloud couldn´t stop thinking about the other brunette with his stormy eyes. Cloud had been an ass, he felt terrible about being moody and fighting with him, he found it even worse that he left the brunette on his own.
Meanwhile with Squall
Ah there it is. Squall said to himself as he walked towards the palace, but was rudely stopped by a guard.
Excuse me sir, you name? The bodyguard asked.
It´s Squall Leonheart. He said trying his best to represent a fancy gentleman.
Oh! Please sir proceed, I was asked to let you through. The man said while he released Squall quickly.
Okay, that sure was easy. Squall thought while he proceeded. When he was further in the castle he saw many people having a great time dancing and talking. It reminded him of the Seed ball. He saw Tidus eating way too much and Zidane being flirty with the other sex. Then he also spotted Cloud who seemed to listen to the girl from this afternoon, he felt a nasty feeling inside of him that he didn´t like.
I´m just going to ignore him and wait for the warrior. Squall thought to himself while he walked down the beautiful stairs. Only that plan fell into water when he saw that Cloud spotted him. He saw him looking at him with big blue eyes that he couldn´t help staring at.
He was trying to listen to Gillian till he saw a man walking down the stairs, when he looked closer he saw something that took his breath away. It´s was Squall in a white long shirt with a black jacket that wasn´t completely buttoned up , his hair was a little more neat and his eyes looking at the people dancing. He thought that he brunette always looked handsome but now he looked so gorgeous that Cloud couldn´t keep his eyes of him. Then he saw that the brunette spotted him too, Cloud could see the little surprise in his eyes but then he saw the brunette looking in his eyes also. Cloud couldn´t help but smile at him, then he noticed that Squall´s face lit up, his eyes looked like they were full of light. Then he felt Gillian´s arms around him and saw Squall taking his eyes from his. Cloud never felt so empty in his life.
Squall watched as Cloud pulled himself out of Gillian´s grip and gave her another drink. Squall was standing in a corner not being amused at all. For Cloud being an ass and for himself being weak on the stairs, why did he had to stare at the blond so much? Cloud was a bastard who needed a punch in the face. But when he thought about Cloud´s smile that he gave him, Squall couldn´t help but feel his heart pounding 2 times as fast.
Excuse me sir, would you like to dance? He heard someone say.
Huh? Oh sorry I don´t dance. He answered when he noticed that it was a girl who looked at him with a smile.
Oh you´ll do fine. She said as she pulled him on the dance floor.
Well this sure brings back memories. Squall thought being amused, only that feeling didn´t took long when he saw that Cloud was watching him.
Fine, I´ll show you something Strife. Squall thought as he put his hands in a dancing position. And he danced, he noticed that he wasn´t an idiot like his first ball but that he remembered the steps as he smoothly turned his dancing partner into a spin. Cloud just looked at him completely ignoring the girl who just continued to talk.
He dances so well, I didn´t know that he could do that. Cloud thought while looking at his best friend. He looked so beautiful smiling. Cloud honestly wanted to push the girl away and replace her, but sad for Cloud he didn´t know how to dance.
They dance really well don´t they. He heard Gillian say.
Yes they do. Cloud said as he walked towards Squall when the song ended.
Thank you for this dance sir. The girl said smiling
Your welcome. Squall said before she walked away. Then when he turned he saw Cloud standing close to him.
Can we talk? Cloud asked while looking Squall in the eyes.
I guess. Squall answered trying to get his heart to beat at normal speed again. Then they walked towards the balcony.
So where did you learn how to dance like that? Cloud asked while looking at the stars in the darkened sky.
When I was still in Balamb garden, we also had a ball like this and a girl dragged me on the dance floor, so I had to learn quickly. Squall answered being nervous.
Was that girl Rinoa? Cloud asked the brunette. Squall just nodded his head. They we´re silent for a while not knowing what to say. But with hundreds of thoughts running through their heads. Cloud was the first to break the silence.
I´m sorry for being an ass. He said while he looked at Squall. He saw that he lifted his head up to look at Cloud also.
No, I´m the one who should apologize. It was a good idea to make contact with that girl so we could get in. Squall said as he tried to hide his blush from being embarrassed, finding it still hard to talk about his feelings.
I´m still sorry for other things. Cloud said as Squall could see some sadness in his eyes.
I don´t want us to be fighting, You're my best friend, if I don´t have you then who´s going to help me through this. Cloud said while walking closer to Squall.
It´s alright Cloud. Squall said almost being in trance as he felt Cloud being so close to him. Then he could feel a hand on his cheek. He saw that Cloud looked at him with soft eyes.
Cloud? Squall said softly looking the older man in the eye. Then he felt a pair of lips on his forehead.
I´m sorry Squall, so sorry. Cloud said as he gently pulled him into a longing hug, nuzzling his face in Squall´s hair.
Squall could die happy right here and now. But instead he hugged him back not wanting to let go.
It´s fine. Squall said as he pulled Cloud closer.
I care so much about you Squall. Cloud said softly in Squall´s ear, making Squall feel butterflies al through his body.
I care much about you too. Squall said as he smiled into Cloud´s shoulder forgetting everything around him ,forgetting that he was suppose to be a lone wolf, an ice prince. He didn´t care, all he wanted was to stay in Cloud´s arms for now.
Then they heard a large explosion coming from the inside.
No! The warrior! Squall said. Being pulled out of his dream world.
Let´s go! Cloud said as they ran towards the ballroom.

End!
