Ok so yeah I basically love every one of you. I woke up early and frolicked/dragged my tired self over to the computer to check for reviews! Whee! And I ended up falling asleep at 1 again. So today I am going to write this one a bit quickly because I am so tired (and of course it's a Cleon which is like one of the hardest ones for me to write, except for maybe that Cloud/Sora that's in the lineup that I'm kinda freaking out about) but anyway.

So I still am not going to free Roxas, because I did not get the majority of my reviewers reviewing! BUT! I did get many new people! This. makes me very happy. Tis a pleasure to hear from all of you. AND ZESTY! I did not think of your idea with freeing Roxas then. Excellent thought.

But I am so far behind. Like I think I'm catching up, and then I just get WHAMMED with them. Like. Holy Lord. There is a new record of What Ifs in one review. Dearest Kerrilea gave me ten what ifs in one sitting. PleaseDon'tTryTobreaktherecord! XP Because if you suggest it, I will do it. Just picking the good ones is mean. But I cannot even utilize Master List Jr anymore because I just can't. write. them all. down!

AND! Damn this is a long AN. BUT I have been trying to keep the rating at a T to attract more people to the story, BUT. some of your reviews are begging for some…interesting…things (coughzesty'scough) So seriously. I need some feedback on what you think!

ONE MORE THING I'm sorry OnlyInThisLight that I keep ruining your shirts. 8D

There. I'm done. I bet you 10 dollars anyone who doesn't review is just going to skip all that. Ah well. Can't win em all. AND I LOVE THE PICKETING. XD ….Shutting up. ((This is me winging it with a Cleon! Should be fun.))

What If…

Leon and Cloud went on a blind date?

((as suggested by the lovely Kiki))

"I'm not going."

Yuffie sighed exasperatedly as Aerith shook her head and sipped her tea from her place at the kitchen table. "Cloud. You're being unreasonable. Leon is a perfect gentleman-"

"And how is it do you know that I am gay, exactly?"

Yuffie snorted. "Please Cloud. You live with two women. Besides, we know where you sneak off to at night. You're gayer than a maypole in a dance studio with Mexicans frolicking around it."

Aerith snorted her tea back into her cup, and Cloud looked at Yuffie incredulously. "How the hell do you think of these comparisons?"

Yuffie glared at him. "Stop trying to change the subject Cloud. You are going out with him to the Rose Castle and you will enjoy every minute of it."

Cloud sputtered. "TheRose Castle?! What, are you trying to make me propose to him or something?"

"Aha! See Aerith, Itold you he was gay! Cough up that five bucks." Aerith sighed and handed over the money.

"Gay guys aren't supposed to like sports and fighting!"

"He does!"

Cloud blinked. "I thought you said you knew I was gay!"

Yuffie snickered. "I guessed. But anyway! Back to the matter at hand! You will go upstairs and get dressed for a nice evening out, or I will send out the pictures I have of you making out with your pillow to every address in your book."

Cloud sighed and started to walk towards the stairs. "But what if he's a rapist? What if he slips something into my drink?"

"Then you'll have one hell of a night. Get going!"

-----------------------

Leon fidgeted at the table he was sitting at as he watched the door. Let's see, Yuffie said that he was blonde, crazy tall, and does not look gay in the slightest. This is going to be difficult. Maybe I should have had Aerith give me a picture. He sighed as he watched blonde after blonde walk through the door.

Finally he saw one enter that seemed to be looking for someone. He stood up, but sat back down quickly when said blonde caught what appeared to be his fiance' in his arms. Leon sighed. That would have been awkward.

From his peripheral vision, Leon noticed a man dressed in black slacks with a black dress shirt walk by. He grabbed his arm, still watching the door. "Waiter, can you fill up my water please?"

"I'm not a waiter."

Leon looked up, slightly embarrassed. "I'm sorry sir. And your name is?"

"Cloud." Leon quickly leapt up out of his seat and started to shake his hand. When he noticed the look that the man was giving him, he stopped.

"I'm sorry, let me introduce myself. I'm Leon," he said, now shaking Cloud's hand. "I didn't see you come in," he continued, sitting down in his seat.

Cloud sat down across from him. "I move quietly."

"Oh," Leon said, leaning back in his chair. "So…" Cloud quirked up an eyebrow. Leon paused. He's kind of cute when he does that. In an I'm-going-to-kick-your-ass-and-skin-you kind of way. How endearing."…what do you do for a living?"

"I'm a housekeeper."

Leon snorted involuntarily. Cloud glared at him, offended. "I'm sorry, it's just…that's an interesting profession."

"It pays the bills."

"Right," Leon said, twirling his water glass. "Well, I'm a dojo master. I teach sword fighting."

Cloud nodded. "How nice."

Leon shifted awkwardly. "Well! Here's the waiter," Leon said, quickly pulling one over to them. "What will you have?" Cloud ordered quickly, and Leon, after fiddling around with the menu a little, placed his order as well.

"So…" Leon began again, trying in vain to start up a conversation. "bad…weather we've been having hm?"

Cloud nodded deftly.Man, he's scraping the bottom of his conversation barrel already and we just got the bread, Cloud thought.

Leon continued to rack his brain for conversation topics, eating his bread mechanically. Suddenly, a person with long platinum hair with an obnoxious blue wing tattoo on his right shoulder at the table behind him leapt out of his seat, in a heated argument with his partner across the table. Leon started, inhaling the bread he was eating. He coughed rapidly, then stopped.

Cloud looked over at him, mildly concerned when Leon did not sound like he was breathing. "Leon?"

Leon made the choking signal, and Cloud leapt out of his seat and rushed towards him. In one fluid motion, he pulled Leon out of his seat and tight up against him. He quickly wrapped his arms around Leon's waist and performed the Heimlich Maneuver. After a few seconds, Leon coughed up a lump of bread, choking loudly.

Cloud stepped back from him quietly and handed him his water. "Do you feel better?" Leon nodded, unable to speak properly yet.

When Leon was breathing more evenly, he smiled weakly at Cloud. "Thanks," he said, shifting to get more comfortable in his seat again.

"No problem," Cloud said. "You said you were a dojo master?" he questioned as their food was placed in front of them.

Leon smiled. "I am. Would you like to come by one day and visit? I could show you around."

"I'd like that. What do you say we go see a late movie after dinner?" Leon's smile grew wider.

"Sure. So did we bond or something when I was choking or did you just randomly decide to engage in conversation?"

Cloud smiled and leaned closer to him over the table. "Let's just say I'd like to know more about what I felt when I was saving your ass."

Leon laughed and returned to his dinner.

-------------------------------

Why don't I ever really like the Cleon ones I write. Sigh. Maybe I'm just really.really. Tired. Hoo. Only 15 more until Christmas ones! Anyone who can guess who the guy who hit Leon is gets a cookie. Alright I'm going to go collapse now.

Share the love my lovelies. FREE ROXAS! ((haha I want to like make a shirt or something. 8D))
