Title: The Pixies
Characters: Leon, Aeris, Yuffie
Word Count: 224
Summary: Leon comes home soaking wet and Yuffie and Aeris want to know why.



"Leon! What happened!? You're soaked!"

Leon scowled at Aeris, leaning over and pulling off his boots. "Nothing happened."

She raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, 'nothing happened'. Don't you lie to me, Leon. You don't come back home soaking wet for no reason. Did you pick a fight with Cloud?"

"I did not."

"Oh?" Yuffie leaned her head past the archway, grinning. "I didn't do it this time. I've been here with Aeris all afternoon. Aeris can vouch for me, ne?"

Aeris nodded with a mischievous smile. "Of course. Usually when you pick a fight with Leon, you're the one that comes home soaked."

Yuffie nodded. "See? Hey…wait a minute…"

"Well!" Aeris clapped her hands together, walking over to Leon to assess him. "You want to tell us what happened?"

"No."

"Awww! C'mon, Squall!" Yuffie bounded into the room, eager to poke at him.

"My name is Leon," Leon muttered as he pulled off his jacket, tossing it on the floor.

Aeris frowned. "It was those pixies, wasn't it?"

"Don't be silly." Leon squeezed some water out of his shirt. "I can defeat a few pixies, as troublesome as they may be."

"I knew it! They've been causing more and more mischief around here!"

Leon blinked at Aeris, leaning over to whisper to Yuffie, "How does she do that?"

Yuffie shrugged, equally amazed.

Title: Avoidance
Characters: Leon, Yuffie, Aeris
Word Count: 228
Summary: As mentioned in an earlier drabble of mine, Leon has a habit of pushing Yuffie in the fountain when she antagonizes him.



"Again???" Aeris sighed as Yuffie stomped through the house, her sneakers making wet noises on the stone with each step.

Yuffie just huffed. "He started it!"

"Oh?"

Yuffie stomped her foot on the ground. "He totally did! There I was, minding my own business… well, maybe I was talking a little too loudly about popsicles and how many I stole from Leon, but that's beside the point! Out of nowhere he just attacked me with his gun blade so I totally shuriken'ed his ass."

"Yuffie…"

"But then he got pissed and pushed me in the fountain! See? It's totally not my fault!"

Aeris raised a solitary eyebrow at her.

"Really! Then he said my tits were too small!" She raised both hands, placing them on her breasts, giving Aeris a pitiful look. "They're not, are they?!"

"What? That doesn't sound like something Leon would say. I think you're exaggerating, Yuffie."

Leon chose that moment to enter the small house, dusting his feet off at the doorway.

Aeris stomped over, dragging Yuffie with her. "Leon, did you say Yuffie's breasts were too small after pushing her in the fountain?"

Leon stopped what he was doing, stared at the both of them and simply turned around and walked right back out.

"I told you so!" Yuffie pointed at the door. "Avoidance of the subject is just the same as guilt!"

Title: Insomnia
Characters: LeonxCloud, Riku
Word Count: 529
Summary: Riku can't sleep, so he has a discussion with Cloud and Leon instead.



Leon sighed, digging his fingers into Cloud's back to work on a stubbornly hard knot. "Cloud… I'm telling you this for your own good. You need to *relax*."

Cloud wrinkled his nose. "You keep saying that, but how can I relax with you digging your fingers into my back every few seconds?"

"It's called a massage, Cloud."

"Hmph."

"Would you just relax?" Leon tried again, pushing at Cloud's shoulder blades. "This is why you can't sleep."

"I doubt the reason I can't sleep is because of a few knots in my back."

"I'm beginning to think it's because you're stubborn rather than a few knots. You take on more than you can handle, Cloud. Maybe sometime you should try letting other people deal with their own problems, hmm?"

Cloud chewed on his lip, but said nothing.

"Then it wouldn't be the middle of the night with the two of us sitting on the couch, me giving you a massage so I wouldn't have to hear your whining about 'Leon, I can't sleep'."

"If you had given me sex, like I asked," Cloud pointed out, "then we wouldn't even be on the couch. Ow. You did that one on purpose!"

"Yeah, maybe I did." Leon shrugged.

Cloud was about to turn and smack Leon when a loud knock sounded from the front door.

Leon twisted his way out from behind Cloud to answer it. "It's three o'clock in the morning, who could that be?"

"Well, whoever it is knocked, so at least we know it's not Sora."

Leon chuckled once, pulling the door open. "Oh…it's you."

"Hi," Riku said quietly. "I hope I didn't wake you."

Leon shook his head. "No, I was already awake." Damn you, Cloud.

"Can I come in?"

"Sure." Leon shrugged, stepping to one side and gesturing for Riku to enter.

Riku walked through the foyer to the living room, pausing when he saw Cloud sitting on the couch. "Hi…"

Cloud blinked, startled to see Riku. They weren't exactly friends and Riku and Sora usually came over together. He nodded politely.

Riku just nodded back, sitting on the floor.

Leon closed the door and padded back into the living room, taking up his position behind Cloud once more and continuing his massage. Or as Cloud was calling it, 'revenge for waking Leon up for sex'. "Where's Sora?" he asked when the brunette didn't loudly follow Riku into the house.

"Probably asleep," Riku muttered.

"Then why are you here?"

"Because I couldn't sleep."

"Do you need to talk about something?" Leon asked as he moved his hands lower down Cloud's back. "Cloud couldn't sleep either and we were just talking."

"Talking? You were poking me!"

"Quiet, Cloud. Or I'll do it again. Don't get yourself so riled up. I'm trying to get you to relax."

"Sorry about dropping in like this," Riku said quite suddenly. "I tried waking Sora, but he sleeps like the dead and I couldn't wake him up."

"Don't worry about it," Leon shrugged it off. "We were already awake."

~End

Yeah, I know that ending kinda hangs, but I ran out of fuel. I'm sure I'll continue in another collection.
