Radiant Destiny

Chapter 32: “We’re family after all”
After saying good night to Yuffie I opened and slammed the front door. “Sora?… what the hell?! You never slam doors!” Leon said sitting on the couch. “Is Cloud here!?” I asked madly. Leon stood up and walked over to me. “No… what’s wrong?” Leon asked. “Roxas! He blocked me out!” I said pushing past Leon. Leon grabbed my arm and stopped me. “Let go Leon!” I yelled trying to get him off but all Leon did was pull me to the couch, throwing me into it. “Stay! Now calm down Sora, what’s really bothering you?” Leon asked calmly sitting down next to me and turning off the television. We stared at each other until I broke down crying. Leon grabbed me and gave me a hug and said nothing while I cried for the next five minutes or so.


Once I calmed down Leon let go and gave me a tissue. I wiped my eyes with it. “What happened Sora? Start at the beginning.” Leon asked calmly. “Well… everything was perfect… Until we got back to Axels that is… Axel and Roxas found out something about Riku that made him FREAK out… He passed out… I was so worried… I kept praying he wouldn’t die… I can’t watch someone die again… never again Leon…” I said breaking down again. Leon hugged me again and rubbed my back, calming me… “Loz went and got their dad. He came back with a needle and grounded it into Riku’s leg… Apparently Riku has really bad asthma… Roxas won’t tell me what he knows…” I explained calmly. “…I see… Maybe he promised not to tell Sora… Don’t get mad until you talk okay. Do you want something to drink?” Leon asked. I nodded. “Okay sit here and I’ll make you some hot chocolate.” Leon said standing and walking into the kitchen…


While Leon was making me some hot chocolate I looked at the time, 6:00 p.m. Where’s Cloud? Leon came back in and handed me my mickie mouse cup with hot chocolate in it with a smile. I smiled back as I took it. “Leon, where’s Cloud anyways?” I asked. “The grocery store, why A\I thought I helped…” Leon answered. “No you did, you always help. I was just wondering…” I explained. “Good, there for a minute I thought I didn’t… I need to be helpful to you Roxas somehow…” Leon responded. I blinked. “Leon your family, you don’t need to help to be loved by us.” I responded. “Awe Sora… You are two sweet for words…” Leon said hugging me. “Sorry for yelling at you…” I apologized. “Forget it I’m use yo yelling. You have to be to go through the training…” Leon said with a smile. I laughed. “Yeah guess your right…” I responded before drinking my hot chocolate…

“You really like Riku, don’t you?” Leon asked out of the blue. I chocked a little on my chocolate. Leon laughed and patted my back. “ I’ll take that as a yes.” Leon said. Once I was better I sat down my cup. “Leon how did you feel when you first met Cloud?” I asked. “Well dad was transferred here when I was 15, at the time I didn’t know my sexuality… When I first met Cloud I couldn’t breathe… I never met someone so godly before… Ha-ha sounds stupid I know…” Leon explained. “No it doesn’t… When I saw Riku… my heart did cartwheels… its his eyes… ocean…. Deep… different…” I explained fading away. “Earth to Sora! Ha-ha… Cloud says when you have feelings like that, its your soul recognizing its mate.” Leon said when I came back. I blushed. “That’s what Kairi said… Leon what should I do?” I responded and asked. “Sorry Sora, only you can decide what to do…” Leon answered. “Axel and Kairi plan on getting us together… I don’t know how he feels… Roxas said Hiroshi would want me to be happy… I don’t know…” I responded. “I wish I could tell you what the right thing is Sora but only your heart can answer that… Wow… I sound old…” Leon said. We started to laugh as the front door opened…


Cloud came in with his arms full of grocery bags looking at us with a weird look. All that did was make us laugh even harder. “Are you two done or do I have to carry in all of the bags myself?” Cloud asked. “Sorry Cloud but you had the funniest look just then.” I said standing up and walking out of the house to Cloud’s car. The whole back seat was full of groceries. I grabbed about six bags and turned around to find Leon waiting for me. I smiled and carried the bags inside as Cloud walked out to grab more still. I walked into the kitchen to see the table half full so I added the ones I had to fill it up. Leon came in and set his hands full on the counter by the sink. We kept the row going until everything was inside…


“I’ll put the groceries away, Sora needs to tell you about his day.” Leon said after kissing Cloud on the couch. Leon left the front room and left me with Cloud. “Sora?” Cloud asked not understanding what Leon met. “’sigh’ Cloud lets sit down first okay.” I said before turning around and walking towards the couch. Cloud followed me without a word.


Once we were both seated I told Cloud about my day… “Oh Sora I can’t even imagine what was going through your mind… I know how you feel about Riku and I know how you are… He is okay though right?” Cloud responded then asked as he pulled me into a bear hug. “Yeah his brother’s said he would be fine and his dad is with him so I guess so…” I answered. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t here when you got home.” Cloud said letting me go. “Its okay. Leon was here. Leon helped a lot actually.” I responded with a smile. “Well I’m glad Leon helped… I’m happy to know that if for whatever reason I’m not there when you need me, Leon can.” Cloud responded.


The rest of the night just flew by after that… Before I knew it, I was changed and in bed. I just laid there starring up at the ceiling thinking back from today… In Axel’s car… when mine and Riku’s knees touched… My heart was pounding so hard and I was so scared to more or look at him.. Somewhere deep inside me I wished he had did it on purpose… I had to laugh at myself… its only been, what a little over a week, since I met him… Can two people fall in love so fast, so soon? I don’t know…

The next thing I knew was that the sun shinning in my eyes woke me up… “ ‘yawn’ What time is it?” I asked no-one. I rubbed my eyes and looked at my alarm… 12:02p.m… Wow I woke up early for a Sunday… I slowly got out of bed and grabbed some new closes before heading towards the bathroom. I didn’t bother with closing and locking my door because I knew Axel won’t be here on a Sunday unless he spends the night which he didn’t, thank god! Every cense Hiroshi died Axel hasn’t slept over. I guess he feels that I’ll get sad and depressed if I heard them doing anything. To tell the truth I probably would have at least until Riku… I shook my head free of the thoughts as I took off my closes and turned on the water, setting it to the right temperature. Once it was just right I jumped in and close the door…

I turned off the water being really surprised and happy at myself for getting through a whole shower without masturbating to thoughts of Riku. I opened the door and grabbed my towel to dry myself before walking out of the shower. I wrapped the towel around my waist before going to the sink just in case Cloud or Leon came up here… I got done and dressed without anyone walking in so I happily walked downstairs…


Once downstairs I noticed it looked like no one was home. I shrugged it off and headed for the kitchen to fix me some lunch slash breakfast…

By the time I was done eating, it was 1:22p.m by the clock and no-one… I checked my cell phone for calls… none, so I started looking around the house for a note. After checking every usual place for a note, three times, I gave up. “Maybe I should call them…” I said to myself. I decided to call Leon first, no answer, so I left a message. Next I tried Cloud. As it was ringing I heard his cell phone going off in his and Leon’s room.

I close my cell phone and knocked on their door, nothing. “Cloud! Leon! I’m coming in okay?!” I yelled to give them a heads up. After receiving no answer I turned the knob and opened the door…


I sat up in bed screaming until Cloud and Leon turned on my light and ran to my side. “Sora! What happened?!” Cloud asked scared to death. I gave Cloud the tightest hug I have every gave. “I-I had a nightmare… Everything was fine at first, until I couldn’t find anyone here. I called your cell and I heard it coming from your room… When I opened the door… There you two were, dead…” I finished hugging Cloud even tighter if it was possible and cried…


“Shhh… it was just a dream… Me and Leon are fine. I promise to never leave you Sora…” Cloud responded crying himself. Before I got done crying I felt Leon hug me two from behind. I finally calmed down with them both just rocking my back and forth…

“I’m okay now… What time is it?” I asked ass they let go of me. Leon looked at my clock. “4a.m.” Leon answered removing a tear from my check with his thumb and a smile. I smiled back before yawning. “Do you think you can sleep? I can stay until you fall asleep?” Cloud asked the suggested. “No I think I’ll be fine… Sorry for waking you guys up and scaring you.” I answered then apologized. “Sora there’s nothing to apologize about, we’re family after all…” Leon responded kissing my forehead. That made me giggle.


After some pre-swaying, Cloud and Leon went back to bed and I was able to fall back to sleep… This time with no dreams, thank god…
