Normal
Last Time:
Leon's POV:
"AND YOU'RE BEING CHILDISH!" I perk up slightly. Ooo… Sora's not going to like that one.
"I AM NOT A CHIL—" No… Sora's statement didn't stop there. He was interrupted. Again you're wrong. It wasn't by Cloud… or even me. Try the person we've all been scaring to all hells. …No not the rabbit slippers morons…
"Ow…"
This Time:
Harry's POV:
Oh my GOD these people are insane! Who are they! …I don't understand. Where am I? I shift in the bed a bit, trying to get a better look at the people. Two brunettes and a blond. The blond looks really angry… The taller brunette keeps staring at me weird and little brunette… Well… He doesn't seem so bad.
"…WHO THE HELL IS THAT ON MY BED!?"
I think they're fighting about me. Don't they know I can hear them? I blink, realizing my visions blurry. Oh right… Glasses. I look around me and sure enough, I spot my glasses on the bedside table. I grab them and shove them onto my face, fully taking in the surrounding scene.
"IS HE BLEEDING?! ON MY FAVORITE SHEETS?!"
I blush slightly and push backwards, trying to melt into the head board. The blonde is scary. I guess I am injured. I gaze at the taller brunette… He seems to be the only one who's noticed my awakened state.
"Calm down Cloud…" I watch the short brunette makes his way to the blonde, who I'm guessing is Cloud.
"Hey there buddy…" I mentally and physically flinch when I feel him pull near me and subconsciously keep my distance.
"I'm not gonna hurt chya… I promise…" Oh wow… That really makes me feel better. This is a classic horror movie. I watch him warily. He keeps trying to touch me… AND he's talking to me like a little kid!
"I found you in an alleyway… and I couldn't just leave ya there…" My eyes widen, and then narrow. Alleyway? When? …I don't remember… No… I remember, I just don't WANT to remember.
"W-Who are you?" I wince at how weak my voice sounds, but the tall brunette before me looks relieved.
"I—"
"He's Leon… and I'm Sora." My gaze immediately snaps to the shorter brunette, who is now talking. I file away the names in my memory. The taller brunette, Leon, gives up his chair to the shorter brunette, Sora, who proceeds to sit down and try to comfort me in hushed tones.
"…You couldn't find the guest room… could you?" The blonde's voice gets soft, menacingly scary... Like him.
"…Nope… Wasn't really paying attention…" The taller brunette looks furious, the expression on his face also like him. I sink back father.
"But you had to choose MY room! WHY MINE!" Leon and Sora seemed to have lost intrest in me, which is all the better. I shift slowly to the side of my bed.
"CLOUD! SHUT UP! You're being inconsiderate and stupid!" Sora looks angry. I shrug it off and pull back the covers.
"DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP SORA!"
"I CAN DO WHAT I WANT! YOU'RE BEING EXTREMELY RUDE!"
"AND YOU'RE BEING CHILDISH!" These two. I slide myself to the lft and place me feet on the floor, and try to stand up.
"I AM NOT A CHIL—"
"Ow…" I guess my legs couldn't handle it yet. Now everyones attention is towards me.
"Oh geez! We must of scared you! I'm so sorry." Sora comes running to my side and places an arm around mine, probably to lift me up, but I flinch away violently and back myself into a corner.
Sora's POV:
I frown and my eyes fill with remorse. This kid is like me in more ways than one. I use hushed tones, and hold out my hand as if holding it to a frightened puppy.
"I won't hurt you, I'm not them. Let's get you back in bed." My eyes show compassion for this boy, a compassion that I assume he saw, since he laid his hand in mine, albeit shakily.
"Good." I carefully manuvuer him into bed, being cautious to not make sudden movements. All the while, Leon and Cloud are looking at me like trouts. You know, gaping mouths, just stands there. Like cops.
"T-Thank you. I'm Harry." The boy looked at me and smiled slightly. It was, of course, a fake smile, but it was a step in the right direction.
Leon's POV:
What does he mean by 'I'm not them'? I shake my head slightly and sigh, glancing over at Cloud. We both nod in some sort of unspoken agreement to stop arguing in front of this poor kid.
This boy, Harry, has obviously been through something that neither I, nor Cloud, can comprehend right now.
I walk over to the boy and kneel next to him.
"Sorry we were fighting like that." My voice is soft, almost a whisper. "That was rude and inconsiderate."
Cloud grumbled something that may have been, "Yeah, sorry, Leon sucks." But you can't be too sure with Cloud. I probably have it wrong because of the lack of profanity.
Harry nodded and looked directly into my eyes. My breath hitched as I saw the pain and torment in those eyes. My own filled with pity as they changed to a sunken, dead look.
Ignoring all protests from Sora and Harry, and give him a big hug.
Sora's POV:
What an idiot.
Cloud's POV:
I don't even know what's going on, but even I know that that was a bad idea.
Harry's POV:
I quickly try to scramble backwards, tears starting to stream down my face. I pull away and huddle into a little ball, bawling my pathetic little eyes out. This is probably why I get what I got. I'm so weak.
"It's not true." A soft voice pierced my shell. "I know what you're thinking, and it's not your fault."
I look up into the huge eyes of Sora, even more tears streaming down my cheeks as I cling to him.
Sora's POV:
This poor kid, he is the same. "Cloud, Leon... I need a minute."
Cloud's POV:
"Sure... I don't even know what the HELL is going on anyway."
Leon's POV:
That's the Cloud I know! I smirk as we both walk out of the room and downstairs. I flop on the couch and he glares at me, taking the barcalounger.
"That's where I was going to sit." He snarls.
"You snooze, you lazy." I sigh and roll my eyes o the ceiling. "I wonder what's wrong with that kid..."
Cloud looks at me, then looks at the cieling as well. He sighs deeply and closes his eyes, uttering one word that I almost missed.
"Abuse."
A/N: Yeah, it's short. Yeah, no reviews. But hey, you got a damn update! I'll update sooner next time, I promise. I had to do this chapter, so I could get out of this scene. Next chapter will be LOADS longer. Promise.
