...I can't believe it's already August. -.-

...I'm just going to get on with it then ^^

What If...

Cloud fell asleep every time Leon wanted attention?

((as suggested by the lovely Larxene-Number-XII))

Leon looked up from his book at the sound of the bedroom door opening. He watched as Cloud dragged himself straight to the bed and flopped face first on top of it.

"Rough day?" Leon asked as he set his book on the nightstand.

"Understatement," Cloud murmured into the comforter.

"You let them work you too hard," Leon commented as he tried to pull Cloud up the bed, "tell them you need to go home at normal hours."

Cloud eventually sat up and scooted to lay down on his pillow. "Unfortunately, high-ranking government jobs don't allow such privileges." He closed his eyes.

"You can come work at my weapons shop," Leon offered yet again.

"Can you imagine me working under you?"

"I can definitely imagine you under me," Leon said, leering at him.

Cloud groaned. "Leon," he complained, "I haven't been home since seven this morning."

"I know I know," Leon held up his hands in a placating gesture, "I want nothing more than for you to get some rest."

"Thanks," he said, reaching up to kiss Leon on the cheek. Leon turned his head and captured Cloud's lips with his, catching Cloud off-guard with a hard kiss. Cloud groaned loudly before pulling away.

"Leon," Cloud murmured, voice filled with want.

"Hmmm?" Leon replied, still close to Cloud's lips.

"If we do anything, there's no way I'll be conscious for it."

Leon smiled. "Don't worry," he said as he reached for the blankets, "it's time for bed."

Cloud closed his eyes and leaned back on the pillow. Just as quickly, he sat back up again. "Friday!"

"Friday?" Leon asked, raising an eyebrow. "Tomorrow's Wednesday. How tired are you?"

"No," Cloud continued, "I have off a part of Friday! You and I, we are going to have a magical evening." He leaned back against the pillow, winking.

"Sure Cloud," Leon said, having heard this same speech before. "We will see what Friday brings."

"I'm serious!" he protested, all the while still about to fall asleep.

"Okay Cloud," he said, finally situated under the covers. "You keep thinking tha-Cloud?" Leon looked closer. Cloud had fallen asleep fully clothed.

Leon sighed, smiling, as he scooted out from the covers to get Cloud properly into bed.

-((Friday!))-

Leon flipped the sign on his store from 'open' to 'closed.' After locking the door for the night, he started his walk to his and Cloud's apartment. Cloud's job was very secretive, dangerous, and demanding. Although the possibility of Cloud actually being home when he claimed he would was small, Leon could not help but allow himself a small ray of hope. He imagined opening the door of their apartment to a splendid dinner, cooked by Cloud wearing nothing but a smile. He grinned himself as he put his key in the lock-

and opened the door to the usual empty apartment. He sighed. I don't know why I'm disappointed, Leon thought to himself as he looked in the fridge for dinner, it's not Cloud's fault his job sucks...he just happens to like it. He made a face as he thought about the demand of Cloud's job.

He'll be home soon.

-((some hours later))-

Leon looked up from his book as Cloud stumbled into the room. Cloud smiled, apologetic as he climbed onto the bed.

"Held up at work?" Leon asked, putting the book down.

Cloud nodded, leaning over to kiss Leon softly. "I'm sorry I've ruined our magical evening," he kissed him again. "I'd like to make it up to you..." he leaned in for another kiss, this one more lingering and full of promise.

Leon looked torn. "You're exhausted," he pointed out; however, he refused none of Cloud's ardent kisses.

"I'm fine," Cloud insisted, and Leon was not going to protest. Murmuring in pleasure, he leaned over and pushed Cloud into the bed, cupping his cheek with his hand. He let out all of his desire that had been patiently waiting to be unleashed. He pressed his hips into Cloud's and moaned in pleasure. Kissing Cloud again, he smiled.

"I missed this," Leon muttered, placing kisses on Cloud's jaw. When Cloud did not respond, Leon looked up. Cloud had fallen asleep.

Frustrated, Leon fell back onto his pillow.

-((oh dear))-

Leon closed up his store yet again. More than a week had passed, and the pattern continued. There has to be a way around this, Leon thought. It's extra exhausting for Cloud because he isn't a night person. If he was, then we'd have no problem.

At that thought, Leon had an idea. Maybe he doesn't have to be...

-((fastforward))-

Early Monday morning, Cloud was roused from his sleep by a strange sensation. He couldn't put his finger on it, but for some reason he felt himself being drawn towards it. He opened his eyes and groaned softly as he saw Leon leaning over him, stoking his erection to life with his tongue.

"L-Leon...?" Cloud asked, his voice cracking from sleep and pleasure.

"Good morning," Leon said huskily, kissing the tip of Cloud's quickly growing erection.

"B-but...work?" he asked, thoughts quickly disappearing.

"Don't worry," Leon said, looking up. "It's early enough that you'll be on time. As for me...well, I know the boss." He smirked devilishly as he brought his lips down to Cloud's erection yet again. Cloud gripped the sheets as Leon encircled his manhood with his lips, sucking harshly. He brought his hands up to automatically fist in Leon's hair, stroking it in time to Leon's ministrations.

Leon was relentless in his efforts; he kissed down the length of him before replacing his lips with his hands. He pumped his shaft while he kissed up and down his inner thighs, soon returning to place more kisses along the base of Cloud's need.

Cloud was clearly out of practice. All too soon, he found his muscles tightening before he climaxed under Leon's attentive hands. He panted harshly, pulling Leon up level with him by his hair. Instead of saying anything, he frantically locked his lips with Leon's, moaning into his mouth. Their tongues battled for dominance as Cloud reached down to remove Leon's boxers. Thankfully, Leon had already seen to that.

"I'm ready," Cloud said throatily, pulling briefly away before moving in for another kiss.

Leon pulled back before he could reach him. "No you're not, I barely-"

"I need you," Cloud replied, bringing Leon to his entrance without further ado. Leon was powerless to protest as Cloud thrust down, impaling himself onto Leon. Leon saw stars as Cloud gasped, gripping Leon's shoulders firmly as the two began their familiar dance. Leon knew this would be no marathon; he wasted no time in reaching forward to stroke Cloud in time with their thrusts. Soon, the two were crying out together, reaching their release. Leon then collapsed upon Cloud, breathless as he breathed harshly into Cloud's neck.

"Are you okay?" Leon asked Cloud, concerned about their roughness.

"Better than okay," Cloud said, running his hands up and down Leon's back. "That was...sensational." Leon grinned.

"Actually," Cloud continued, running his hands decidedly lower than Leon's back, "I haven't had a day off for quite some time..."

Leon grinned roguishly as he was rolled onto his back. "We better make the most of it then," he said, pulling Cloud down for a kiss.

-((The End!))-

Well, that's my version of a quickie I guess. I don't think I've ever written one so quickly before, but I have many ideas floating around and I figured I would get a Cleon into the little row of lemons before I continued.

I loved all of your reviews, please leave more!

Last one: How Vexen Stole Christmas!

"She doesn't care," Riku replied slowly, "She even likes it. Great," he said, falling back on the bed, "Now we just have to worry about her rigging our rooms with cameras."
