Author Notes: My first entry in like three challenges. I feel ashamed! *pouts*. Anyway, implied Cloud/Leon, and inspired by themachination on ff.net and the ever lovely gysecune!

 

It had always been tough for him to follow what was in his heart, when his head ordered him to divert his attention elsewhere. Never did he understand himself when that fork in the road came, the choice to say those three words his lover so desired to hear, or walk away and simply nod. He had wanted to say it for so long, so long that it hurt to breathe, so long that whenever he looked at the blond, whenever he looked him in his glittering blue eyes, the words threatend to bubble out, but his head held strong, and the words never came. 

He faced the man he called his own for years as the sword master turned his back, eyes pooling with persistant tears, and shut the door to the place they once both called home for good. Leon clenched his fists at his side as the fork in the road again came into his mental vision. He stared at the concrete door before him contemplating his decision. Silent tears leaked from the corners of his eyes as he whispered the words he would never again get the chance to say. 

"I love you."

Awww... T_T I really feel for Leon in this. For Cloud, too, actually. I think this is very poignant.

I feel for them both as well. Thanks for the comment!
