A Picture Worth A Thousand Four-Letter Words

Author: Xanthos Samurai

Rating: PG-13

Warnings: Cloud/Leon. No spoilers and nothing really to look out for. Well, except silliness with Chocobo boxers.

Disclaimer: If I owned Kingdom Hearts, there would be official art of Cloud and Leon making out shirtless in the rain with Chocobo boxers peeking up over the tops of their pants. In the meantime, kudos to Square-Enix and Disney for making love compressed into a video game form.

Feedback: Yesh please!

Notes: This was written for a friend's request for something that involved Cloud, Leon and Chocobo boxers. She was probably expecting something hot and passionate and sticky, but instead I gave her this short little piece. Just because I'm a sucker for making Leon act silly. Enjoy!

Leon groaned at the noise and fumbled around on the bed for a pillow to stuff over his head. It was too damn early for noise. Way too damn early. In fact, it was too early for anything other than a stiff drink or another make-out session with Cloud. Speaking of which…

He reached over and slid his flat palm against the smooth skin of Cloud's arm. The warmth of the hard muscle made him smile, even though he was still three quarters asleep and hadn't even opened his eyes yet. He didn't need to open his eyes to appreciate Cloud – he knew every inch of his lover by touch. Feeling oddly playful, he half rolled over and bit Cloud's shoulder.

"Hey!" Cloud grunted sleepily and swatted at Leon without opening his eyes. "Knock it off."

"You taste good." Leon kissed the spot where he had bitten.

Click! Whrrrrr…

There was that noise again. Leon finally opened his eyes a little and looked at Cloud.

"Cloud, did you hear that?"

"Yeah, what the fuck was it?" Cloud sat up with a yawn and opened his eyes. He blinked several times and then bit his lip to keep from laughing.

"Um, Leon? I have two questions for you."

"The answer to both is yes." Leon smiled up at Cloud, feeling lazy after a long night of hot, drunken sex.

Cloud's smile quirked. "So you are aware that you're wearing my chocobo boxers on your head? And that Yuffie's taking pictures behind you?"

Leon's eye twitched. He turned around slowly and saw not just Yuffie, but also Tifa and Cid giggling (yes, even Cid was giggling). Yuffie held a camera and a few developing polaroids with an evil smile on her face.

"Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-ffieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…" Leon stood up slowly, seizing the boxers off his head with one hand and grabbing his gunblade in the other. "I am going to skin you alive!"

"Run for it!" Yuffie turned tail and shoved past her two conspirators to get to the door as Leon started running after them. "Every ninja for herself!"

Cloud smiled as he stood up, smiling as he heard the screams and threats echo through the house as Leon chased the three of them. Yuffie had dropped the developing pictures in her haste to get away and Cloud picked them up off the floor.

The picture was still fuzzy around the edges, but it showed Leon asleep, with Cloud's chocobo boxers on his head, curled up against his blonde boyfriend. It was the cutest thing that Cloud had ever seen.

Maybe I'll put these in my wallet… for safekeeping. It wouldn't do for Yuffie to have even more blackmail on poor Leon, after all... He thought as he put the pictures into his pocket. Leon would want them destroyed, naturally. But what Leon didn't know couldn't hurt him.
