A/N: Sorry... I lied to you guys! This chapter is for CLEON! This is from when Cloud and Leon first met, and then it will go on about their current relationship which takes place during chapter six, so Roxas and Axel will not be there... Please don't unfavorite the story though...I think some of you are glaring at me... SORRY!
Disclaimer:
Leon: So... I'm a teacher?
Cloud: And I'm Roxas's cousin?
Leon: Not seeing how that works.
Me: You will... you will.
Cloud: People make me really OOC sometimes, are you going to?
Me: Yeah. It makes ya'll an easier couple.
Cloud: ...It's a good thing you're not in charge of KH.
Me: People say that a lot. But, no matter. One day, SE will hand KH over to ME! MWAHAHAHA!
SE: Uh, no.
Me: Fine... I don't own KH...
Chapter 8
Cleon
Cloud sat at his kitchen table eating a piece of toast and checking his texts. He immediately shot up from the table when he saw a text from Leon.
Leon: I'm taking the day off, come hang out?
Cloud grinned at his phone and stuffed the rest of his toast into his mouth before running straight for the door. He checked himself quickly in the mirror and ran to his car. Roxas waved and called out a greeting on his way, and Cloud almost ignored it in his eagerness to see Leon. His boyfriend.
As Cloud started up the car and began to drive, he thought back to how their relationship began...
~Two Years Ago~
"Your going to be a student teacher at my school?" Roxas asked Cloud, who nodded once with a grunt. "Okay... who's classroom?"
"Leon's." Cloud replied.
"Who's Leon?" Roxas gave him a look.
"Oh, I mean Mr. Evan's." Cloud replied.
"Mr. Evan's... the algebra teacher?"
"That's the one." Cloud said.
"Okay, but since you're my cousin, I'll give you some advice: Leon is really scary most of the time, especially when he's angry." Roxas warned.
Cloud laughed and rustled Roxas's hair, "I'll keep that in mind.
~AND THEN AT SCHOOL~
Cloud entered the room cautiously as no one appeared to be in the classroom. "Hello?" Cloud called nervously.
"Mr. Strife, I presume?" a voice questioned from behind him.
"Uh, yeah. You're Mr. Evans then?" Cloud asked.
"Yes," Mr. Evans walked past Cloud and sat at a large wooden desk, "but you may call me Leon."
"Um, kay." Cloud stood next to the desk awkwardly before Leon began to speak.
"So, as for the plans for today..."
~Three Weeks Later~
Many of the students seemed intrigued by Cloud's presence, but they didn't question it. It wasn't long before the students began to like him, and the girls began to swoon at the sound of his name. Yet, Roxas ignored Cloud completely, and didn't seem to have any friends. Cloud asked Leon why that would be.
"I don't know, Cloud. He is only in one of my classes, and I don't monitor him much. Why do you care, anyway?" Leon asked.
"He's my cousin." Cloud explained.
"Ah. That would explain the likeness you two have." Leon nodded as he spoke.
"I guess... I shouldn't try to include myself in his school life, huh?" Cloud sighed wistfully.
"I don't know, maybe he's being bullied or something?" Leon suggested.
"What?!" Cloud turned around suddenly, and his foot slid to the side, causing him to fall forward and hit the desk with his chin. "Ow, shit!" Cloud clutched his chin, which was now bleeding.
"Cloud, are you okay?"
"Yep! Just fine! Never been better!" Cloud replied sarcastically. Leon snorted and pulled Cloud towards him.
"Huh?" Cloud uttered, before he was pulled against Leon's chest while he inspected the wound.
"Hm. That's a nasty cut. I think I have a first aid kit in my desk somewhere. Hold on." Leon shifted Cloud in his lap as he searched for the kit.
Cloud's heart was thumping too heavily in his chest for him to complain about being treated like a child. He hadn't told Leon he had a crush on him yet, or even that he was gay. How would he react?
"Ah, found it." Leon said suddenly, causing Cloud to jump. Leon chuckled, "your heart is beating really quickly."
Cloud hid his face in Leon's neck and didn't reply.
"Cloud?" Leon asked after a while.
"Yes?"
"I can't clean you're cut if you have your face in my neck like that."
Cloud moved back, "Sorry."
Leon chuckled again and said, "Who knew you could be so cute."
Cloud's face flushed a deep red as Leon began to clean the wound with able fingers. "Leon?"
"Hmm?"
"You know I'm gay right?" Cloud asked, surprising himself, but apparently not Leon.
"Yeah." Leon replied without looking up from his work.
"What?" Cloud gave him a startled look.
"Don't be so surprised. You asked a question, I gave an answer." Leon smirked.
"But-" His voice was cut off as Leon pressed his lips against Cloud's. The kiss was gentle, yet begging. As Leon pulled away, Cloud sat in his lap, dazed.
"You're cute."
~AND BACK TO THE PRESENT~
Cloud stepped out of his car and went up the driveway. After hastily climbing the steps, he practically leaped into Leon's arms.
"Happy Anniversary, baby." Leon whispered into Cloud's ear.
"Leon..." Cloud replied softly, nuzzling into him.
"Shh..."
And the two sat together, curled into each other, hoping for this happiness to last forever.
A/N: God, sorry it was so short... and not about AkuRoku. I just couldn't think of anything more to write, and I had to introduce the side pairings. Anywho, the next chapter will be updated as soon as possible, and I PINKY PROMISE that it will be about Akuroku, or at least focused around Roxas and Axel. Even I wouldn't break a pinkie promise. So stay tuned!
