Leon didn't know what to expect when he took his son to Disney World. The young brunet wouldn't stop yammering about seeing Donald and Goofy. And how they would be his best friends. Leon didn't have the heart to tell him that they were just some guys in costumes. But that was fine. He was young and sooner or later he'd understand.
"Come back here Sora."
"But dad! They'll be here soon."
"You can wait."
"But."
"No buts."
"But I'm 7 years old now."
"I know you are. And because you're a big boy you can wait a little longer okay?" Sora pouted, but nodded nonetheless. But something must have caught his eye as he ran off. Leon immediately ran after him. Losing him in the crowd. He cursed under his breath. He finally made it through to find Sora with a sniffling blond boy.
"Sora?" Leon asked crouching down to their level. The blond boy squeaked and hid behind Sora. Leon had to do a double take. Eyes widening a bit. The two could have been brothers. Twins even. If only they had the same hair color.
"Look dad! This is Roxas, my new friend. Roxas this is my dad. His name is Leon."
"H-hi." he mumbled.
"Don't be shy Roxas. My dad may look scary but he's not." The blond eyed Leon warily.
"I lost my...my...daddy.." He sniffed.
"Hear that dad! We have to help Roxas find him."
"Alright. Come on boys. Take my hand. We'll find your daddy together." Sora grabbed his hand and with some encouraging Roxas took a hold of Leon's. "Where was the last time you saw your daddy Roxas."
"Um..I was supposed to wait for him in the gift shop. We were going to buy something for mommy. But I got tired of waiting and decided to walk outside. I kept walking. And before I knew it I couldn't see the gift shop or my daddy." He sniffed again. "I want my daddy..."
"Okay. We'll find your daddy. I promise." Roxas looked up at Leon and gave him a small smile.
"Sora was right. You aren't scary Mr. Leon."
"Just call me Leon."
"Okay Leon." The three of them started walking towards one of the gift shops.
"Don't worry Roxas." Sora smiled.
"Roxas!" Came a distant shout. "Baby where are you? Roxas!"
"Daddy?" The boy perked up at his name. He tugged on Leon's arm. "Did you hear that? That was my daddy!" The young boy then dragged Leon and Sora to the sound of frantic yelling. Breaking through the crowd they found a blond man trying to be comforted by a few staff members. He was sitting down on a bench. Head buried in his palms. "Daddy!" Roxas yelled and dragged the two brunettes with him. Immediately the blond man's head shot up. Looking at his son with relief. He rushed over to Roxas and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"I was so worried about you! I thought I lost you."
"I missed you daddy." Roxas sobbed.
"Aww baby it's okay you're safe now." One of the staff members happily walked up to the four of them.
"Well it was a good thing that he stayed with his other father." She replied with a smile. Roxas's dad finally noticed the two other people who were in pretty close proximity of him and Roxas. He blushed under the assumption that he and the brunet man were a thing.
"W-we...erm...um..." He fumbled over his words.
"I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable. I hope that you and your family have a great stay here in Disney World." She smiled and walked away.
"I-I...thank you for finding my son."
"No problem. My name is Leon Leonhart and this is my son Sora."
"Hello Sora."
"Hi Roxas's dad!" The young boy beamed.
"Cloud. My name is Cloud Strife and you two already know my son. I'm really sorry if he caused you any trouble."
"No it's really okay." Leon replied.
"Are you sure? I have to pay you back for what you've done." Cloud insisted.
"Really. You don't have to." Just then Sora tugged at Leon's shirt.
"Dad. I want ice cream."
"Daddy I want ice cream too." Roxas agreed.
"Yeah let's get ice cream together." Sora suggested.
"Alright I'll treat you to ice cream." Cloud smiled. Leon was about to deny the offer until he was cut off. Cloud put his hand on Leon's shoulder. "It's the least I can do." He stated. Looking up at the tall brunette man. Leon sighed and nodded his head. Together the four of them went to the nearest ice cream parlor.
"So what kind of ice cream do you want?"
"Paopu/Sea salt!" The two boys exclaimed simultaneously. The two boys looked at each other confused.
"Sea salt...ice cream?"
"Paopu...ice cream?"
"You've never had paopu ice cream?" Sora asked. Roxas shook his head.
"Never. And you've never had sea-salt ice cream?" This time Sora shook his head.
"I know. I'll try sea salt ice cream if you try paopu." Sora said excitedly.
"Okay. Daddy?" Roxas asked. Cloud just smiled at the two nodding.
"I'm guessing paopu for you too Leon?"
"Actually, I think I'll try that sea salt ice cream." He replied. Nodding, Cloud ordered three sea salt ice creams and one paopu. The sea salt ice cream came in a bar instead of a cup. Because what better way is there to eat ice cream than off a stick? The paopu one however came in a cup. The small group took a seat and the adults watched the two children eye there frozen treats.
"How about we take a bite on the count of three?" Roxas suggested. Sora smiled and nodded vigorously.
They both counted. "1...2...3!" Roxas took a spoonful of the ice cream while Sora went in for a pretty big bite. Their childish antics didn't go unnoticed by the two adults.
"It's salty." Sora stated. Eyeing the blue treat. "I love it!" He exclaimed going in for another bite. Leon stopped him from eating too fast though. He didn't want Sora to get a brain freeze.
"Wow! Paopu ice cream is really good. But I still love sea salt ice cream better." Roxas admitted.
"That's okay!" Sora smiled. "But how come you've never had paopu ice cream?"
"Um...I don't really know...daddy?"
"I'm guessing you two are from Destiny Island?" Leon nodded along with Sora.
"I'm going to take a wild guess but you two are from Twilight Town." Cloud and Roxas also nodded. "Figures. Sea salt ice cream is everywhere over there."
"Like wise. Paopu fruits only grow in Destiny Island." Cloud replied.
They finished their ice cream. Albeit with two sticky faced little boys. Quickly wiping the boys' faces they headed out again. The sun was setting and the air was getting cooler.
"Dad...we still didn't see Donald or Goofy..." Sora pouted
"It's okay Sora. If we can't find them today. We can always find them tomorrow." Leon assured him.
"Can we play with Cloud and Roxas tomorrow too?"
"Well...if it's okay..."
"Of course it's okay. I bet you saved Roxas from being alone." Cloud praised, ruffling already poofy locks of brown hair. Sora blushed but smiled nonetheless. Enjoying the attention.
"Yup, Sora came over and helped me." Roxas smiled.
"That's wonderful. I bet Roxas would love to spend time with you tomorrow too."
"That would be awesome!" Roxas squealed. The two adults smiled as the two boys started to talk animatedly with one another. Albeit Sora was doing all the talking. The blond listening intently to what the brunet boy had to say.
They walked around a bit more. Riding a few rides here and there until finally Sora and Roxas were getting tuckered out.
"I think we should start heading back." Cloud stated. Carrying a sleepy Roxas on his back.
"But daddy...I'm not tired..." He yawned.
"Could've fooled me little man."
Before he knew it, Roxas was sound asleep. Sora following soon after. It gave the two adults some time to talk as they held their sleeping kids.
"You married? Because I heard Roxas say you were buying something for his mother." Leon said to the blond man. Making their way back to the hotel.
"Once upon a dream...Roxas's mother is in a better place now." He said wistfully.
"I'm so sorry."
"Don't be." He stated holding back a snicker. Leon raised an eyebrow at the man. "Don't worry Leon she isn't dead. We got a divorce a few years back. Roxas was four. It wasn't really working out. She was kind and beautiful. But we weren't in love anymore. She found happiness right away. While I'm still single." He sighed. "I have full custody of Roxas though. But she visits when she can with her husband. Now that I've told you about my marriage tell me about yours. I don't see a ring on that finger."
"Sora's mother and I...well we weren't married so to speak. Just dating. We took things a little too far. Next thing I know Sora is born. But his mother didn't want to be a part of my life or Sora's. She was cheating on me. But Sora is 100% my son." Leon sighed.
"That's rough buddy." They continued walking until they had to part their separate ways. "So where would you like to meet up?"
"I think the front lobby would be easier. How about at noon? We could all eat lunch together." Leon suggested. Cloud smiled. And Leon took the chance to admire the man's features. His blue eyes were hypnotic. Long lashes made them even more enchanting so to speak. Wild hair that matched that of Sora and Roxas's locks reminded Leon of a chocobo. Cloud was definitely pretty. He was brought out of his trance as Cloud replied.
"I think that's a great idea. See you tomorrow then." Adjusting his hold on Roxas the blond man disappeared behind the doors of the elevator. Leon shook his head, but smirked. This was going to be an interesting week. He too took an elevator to his floor.
After tucking Sora in bed. Leon's mind couldn't help but wander over to Cloud. The way he talked and the way he looked absolutely relieved to see Roxas made him smile. He thought about him for the rest of the night. Leon wanted to hold him close and shower him with kisses as cheesy as it sounded. He was smitten.
In a different room, Cloud's mind was set on a certain brunet. How his cold grey eyes seemed to light up when he was with Sora. Or how the corners of his mouth would twitch upwards. Forming a smile. The scar running across his face seemed to suit his appearance. Cloud caught himself blushing. He was acting like a teenager again. Burying his face into his pillow he went to sleep. He just met the man that day, yet he felt like a giddy school girl.
