Chapter 34

It felt like I was being carried, I opened my eyes and started.

I was being carried… where the hell was I?

Then I recognized the warm chest I was being held against.

Leon.

But why was I with Leon? I remember playing with Roxas and then it just fades out. I looked at him and when I felt myself being lowered I moved so that he would know I was awake.

'I'm glad you're awake. I need you to watch me carefully.'

I looked at him seriously and nodded for him to continue.

'You passed out at the basketball court down the street. As an adult, I'm reprimanding you for your complete lack of responsibility and disregard for the feelings of others. I know training is important to you, but there is a difference between training hard and hurting yourself. You didn't realize that this sort of behavior might be upsetting some people, specifically your brother, but especially me. You have no idea how concerned we have been about this. You have to be more careful. You have to respect the workings of your own body. Training is all about knowing your limit and raising it little by little. It's a VERY long process and you have to be patient. I want you to go home and rest. Understand? GO TO SLEEP WHEN YOU GET HOME.' Leon looked really angry about this.

I didn't even remember it.

I looked down and nodded. I felt really bad… I didn't mean to worry anyone and I didn't think I was pushing too hard. I thought I was working just fine.

But I guess I was wrong. I probably scared the shit out of Roxas.

I'm sorry. I wished that I could say it.

I felt Leon grab my chin to catch my attention. 'I say those things as an adult, but as your boyfriend, all I can say is that I'm so happy you're okay. I was worried and when I got the panicked phone call from your brother I thought my heart would stop.' His face showed gentle features and I moved over to him.

'I'm sorry' I signed.

'I know you are. Please be more careful… if not you might just kill me.' Leon said and I felt the chuckle resonate in his chest.

I snuggled closer to him and yawned.

'Yes. Be tired and stay tired today and tomorrow. That way you'll be perfectly ready for the ranking tournament.' Leon said.

I smiled and nodded before drifting off again.

-Without a Sound-

I smiled down at Sora as he drifted off. I couldn't express how relieved I was now that he woke up. I had gotten a call earlier that his parents would be here soon so I decided to carry him to the sofa before hand.

Sora was still sleeping when the doorbell rang. I laid Sora on the sofa before getting up to open the door. When I did open the door, his mother was standing in the doorway with a very worried look on her face.

"Is he okay?" she asked.

"He's fine, he woke up a few minutes ago but I told him to go back to sleep." I said.

"Thank goodness. I almost had a heart attack when I heard that Sora had passed out from Roxas."

"He just needs to sleep today and tomorrow. He'll be just fine. I have to head to work, I'm assuming you're taking Sora home?" I asked.

Aerith nodded. "I have to take Roxas to school first before I take him home." She said.

"I can take Roxas to school, I'm already headed there anyway." I said.

"I don't want to trouble you, you've already done so much." She said and worried at her lip.

I smiled. I see where Roxas and Sora get their worrying nature from.

"If Roxas doesn't mind, it's no trouble at all." I said as I moved back into my house to pick up Sora.

I put my hands underneath Sora's sleeping form and lifted him. My heart warmed a little when Sora pressed closer to me in his sleep. I moved back to the front door with Sora. His mother smiled at the sight.

"He's even attached to you in his sleep." She laughed softly.

"I'd rather it be like this than like anything else. It's a good feeling when you know someone's thinking about you all the time… even in their dreams." I said and moved towards the car.

"You can place him in the reclined seat." Aerith said.

"I get to drive to school with you Leon?" I heard Roxas ask in a slightly excited voice.

"Yeah, it'll be easier for your mom if I take you." I said.

"Yeah, cool! Your bike is really cool to ride on." Roxas said and moved over to me.

I placed Sora on the reclined seat carefully and buckled his seat belt. I brushed some hair out of his face before turning to his mother.

"He's all set." I said.

"Thank you so much for this. If you weren't here, I don't really know what I wou-"

"Don't worry about it. I'm right here." I said with a chuckle before I moved towards my bike.

Roxas followed behind me and I let him get on the bike. Roxas seemed to understand how to get on a bike. It's one of the things I noticed when he easily got on the bike last night.

I mounted my bike and set out towards the school.

-Without a Sound-

When I woke up, I noticed Pluto sleeping at the foot of my bed. I smiled and pat him on the head.

Pluto lifted his head and suddenly jumped over to me and started licking my face. I laughed silently and hugged him.

I got out of bed and moved to the kitchen. It was time for breakfast.

And this time… I would have a feast.

I made a batter and placed a pan on the stove. I licked my lips as I began to make my first pancake.

I moved to the fridge and pulled out the bacon. Even the raw smell of it sent my taste buds reeling. I really, really missed this.

When breakfast was finally finished. I placed my plate on the table and poured myself a nice tall glass of milk.

I smiled when Pluto was at my feet, eyeing my bacon. I broke one of the pieces in half and gave it to him.

Needless to say, he ate it happily.

I cut into my pancake and sighed at the taste. YUM!

When I was done, I had gone through three pancakes and two and a half pieces of bacon.

It was so good.

I jumped when a strange feeling came through my throat. I looked down at my dog who seemed to be barking. My shoulders shook as I giggled inwardly.

I think I just burped.

I pat Pluto on the head for a second time before standing. With a stretch I yawned and moved over to the sofa.

Pluto trailed behind me and sat by my feet.

To be honest, I really hated being in the house alone. It made me nervous. I was happy that Pluto was around but it wasn't exactly the same as having someone else be there. I could count on Pluto to help me if I had any trouble or if there was danger but I liked the gentle comfort of watching my family move about the house. I like just watching them do tasks… it made the house feel warmer.

But now I was lonely. And I could never tell if anything was happening around me. I sighed and hugged my knees to my chest. I gasped when I realized something; I was going about my business in a half-naked state.

I can't believe I didn't have pants on at least. Actually, what I really can't believe is that I didn't notice sooner.

I shook my head. Maybe this meant I was more comfortable in my own skin. I know I would have never walked around the house without clothes before, even when no one was home.

I stood and moved back to my bedroom and looked around for something to wear. I looked behind me and was surprised to see the Pluto was not trailing behind me.

I looked around the room and found Pluto sniffing at something. I walked over to him and grabbed what he smelled.

I smiled when I noticed it was the shirt Leon let me wear before. I put it on with a smile before bending down to scratch behind Pluto's ears in thanks.

I walked back into the living room and sat on the sofa. I patted the sofa and Pluto jumped onto it.

I placed a throw pillow under my head and tried to relax. I laughed silently when Pluto actually walked onto my stomach and got comfortable. I sighed and turned my head. As I did I caught a whiff of the collar on the shirt.

I smelled like Leon. I placed the collar up to my nose and took a breath through my nose. Leon smelled so good. I could feel some of my uneasiness fade as continued to smell.

I pulled more of the shirt from under the dozing dog on my abdomen and pulled it over my face. I closed my eyes. It almost was like Leon was holding me again. With that thought I started to drift off to sleep again.

I gasped when I was woken up by Pluto suddenly jumping off my stomach. I sat up and looked around to see what was happening. I watched as Pluto ran to the front door before running back to me and licking my hands.

I frowned, that's never happened before.

Pluto ran back to the door and seemed to be barking as he scratched at it. I felt a wave of fear hit me.

Someone was at the door. I stood and made my way to the door quickly. My hands trembled as I placed my hands on the door. What if it was a stranger? What if it was someone who was going to hurt me or Pluto… I shook my head and took a breath. Calm down, Sora… there's a peep hole for a reason.

With another deep breath I lifted myself to look through the peep hole. I let out a sigh of relief.

Leon was standing at the door. I quickly unlocked the door and opened it swiftly. Before I could even watch him speak I pulled him into my house and embraced him. I closed my eyes and held him tightly. I could feel him move to close the front door but I didn't let go when he did.

I know I freaked myself out over nothing, but I couldn't help but feel a wave of relief. Leon wrapped his arms around me and I sighed. After a couple of seconds of hug, I pulled away from him and started to move towards the sofa.

He suddenly caught my hand and pulled me back.

'What was that just now? You looked very frightened.' Leon asked with his hands now on my face.

I looked him in the eyes and gave him a small smile. 'It's okay. I really don't like being in the house by myself because I can't tell what's going on outside. And when Pluto alerted me that someone was at the door I couldn't help but think… what if someone I don't know is on the other side of the door? What if that person wants to hurt me or my dog and I basically scared myself shitless… cowardly right?' I finished signing.

'You opened the door didn't you? How is that cowardly?' Leon asked with a sign.

I smiled at him and wrapped my arms around him again. I pressed my nose into his jacket and breathed in his scent, feeling myself relax further.

Leon pulled me over to the sofa and we sat. He looked at me and I looked at him.

'What did you eat for breakfast?' Leon asked.

I smiled. 'PANCAKES AND BACON!' I signed enthusiastically.

'That sounds delicious.' Leon signed.

I laughed silently. 'Yeah 'cause there's no eggs!' I sighed.

Leon laughed and kissed my head before looking at me. 'Yeah, I bet.'

I kissed his cheek and leaned into him a little. I just loved him so much.

'What did you have for lunch?' Leon asked.

I put my hands together and put them under my head as if they were a pillow.

'You slept through lunch?' Leon asked.

I nodded.

'You should really eat something.' Leon seemed to say.

I looked at him. 'Some yogurt and cheese?' I signed in question.

Leon's face suddenly darkened and I started when he suddenly lifted me up and over his shoulder. I was panicking in my head, did I make him angry? I didn't mean to! I started again when I was set on top of the counter in the kitchen.

I watched him move about the kitchen taking various things out.

Ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, bread.

He looked to his side and took something out of his satchel. He handed a bag to me. 'Eat these while I make this.' Leon said looking me in the eyes.

They were challenging me. They were saying: If you even try to say no I'll make you eat them.

I nodded and opened the bag of potato chips. I ate them silently as he continued to make the sandwich. I think I made him angry again. I suddenly felt guilty again and I looked down at the kitchen floor as I continued to eat.

I jumped for the third time when I felt Leon ruffle my hair. But after he did that, I felt a little better. I think he knew I was feeling a little upset after troubling him. I took a deep breath before finishing the chips.

Leon placed the sandwich on a plate next to me before taking my face in his hands again. He placed his forehead against mine and kissed me softly.

'EAT.' He seemed to command firmly.

I smiled and signed my thanks before taking the sandwich and digging in. It was delicious… really, really good.

Probably because Leon made it. I giggled silently as I ate.

Leon should make food for me all the time.

After a while I noticed Leon was watching me eat with a small smile on his face. I blushed and looked away for a second before looking back at him. He was still looking at me so I took a big bite out of the sandwich and wiggled my eyebrows.

Leon's smile went away and I frowned… I was hoping he would laugh. I swallowed the bite and pouted.

Leon seemed to laughing at my pouting face.

I pouted some more before finishing the sandwich. Leon continued to laugh. I was about to go over to him to give him a good punch when suddenly I felt that feeling in my throat again.

I covered my mouth in shock. I knew that this time it was probably a big burp. I could feel my face flushing deeply. I closed my eyes in embarrassment.

When I opened them, I jumped when Leon was right in front of me. He was smiling at me.

'If it were anyone else Sora, I probably would have thought that was a little gross. But every tiny little noise that comes from your mouth is a precious thing to me. Probably because the noises you make a few a far between. I've learned to cherish every single one of them. I love you, your huffs and puffs, your snorts, your gasps… and your gas.' He added at the end.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. I loved him SO MUCH!

He looked at me. 'I also love this little outfit you've got on. I can't tell you how much I love it when you're wearing my clothes. And no pants! I was really impressed with that.' He said with a smirk.

I blushed and looked down, but I gasped when I felt Leon whisper something into my ear. I didn't know what he said but it was still making me hot.

Leon kissed my ears and along my jaw until he reached my lips. I smiled into the kiss and hugged him closer. Leon ran his tongue along my bottom lip and I eagerly opened my mouth and awaited the deepening of our kiss.

I shivered when I felt Leon's warm hands on my knees. He spread them apart and inserted himself in between them. He then pulled me closer to the edge of the counter. This actually made me taller than him and I had to tilt his head upwards in order to continue our kiss.

I pulled from his lips to take a breath. Our hot breaths intermingled and I connected our lips again. Leon's hands moved back to my legs. It was really strange to have him touching the bare skin of my leg. His hands were actually hot now as they started to ascend towards my upper thigh.

I shivered when his fingers grazed over the scars. I had no idea they would feel so… good when he touched them. He touched them again and I pulled away from his mouth to gasp.

Leon continued to graze his hands over the scars on one leg while his other hand started to venture inwards towards my inner thigh and closer to the stiff erection I now sported.

His hand was so close but he wouldn't touch it. But the closer it got the more I would pant and scoot towards him for more contact. When he finally took hold of it through my boxers, I arched my back and gasped at the pleasure I felt.

I could feel his mouth move towards my neck when suddenly Leon seemed to jump fifteen feet into the air and let go of me completely. I jumped myself at his reaction and when he turned around I frowned.

When I looked towards the entrance of the kitchen I stopped frowning and just blushed and hid myself behind Leon.

My dad was in the doorway!

I peeked over Leon's shoulder.

'…-im lunch. I was going to check to see if Sora needed anything but it seems you beat me to it. By the looks of it though, he's okay. Oh, and by the way… WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING TO MY SON ON MY KITHCEN COUNTER?' My father seemed to bellow.

I winced… I think this was bad…
