Entangled

Logic used to hold a special place in Leon's heart as a child, being around scientists all the time resulted in him seeing logic as sacred. Leon had long ago given up trying to find logical reasons for things, it just wasn't worth it he discovered. Logic was overrated in this day and age so he didn't bother with it outside of battle.

And because he no longer believed in logic he was not terribly worried about the reason behind finding Cloud making out with a Dyme entangled in fishing wire in the attic. He simply grabbed the box of Christmas decorations and carefully climbed down the ladder.

Evaporation

"Dyme? What are you doing?" Cloud asked as he stood behind the boy crouched on the sidewalk.

"I'm watching the puddles evaporate." Dyme answered seriously.

"Oh." Cloud joined the other boy in staring at the puddle. "And what are those marks on the cement?"

"Marker. I'm keeping track of how long it takes to be totally gone." Dyme waved a clipboard at the blond. "I've been here for six hours and its gone down a quarter of an inch."

"Oh." Cloud said again. "So you've been here since 4 AM."

"Yeah. That's when it stopped raining." He scribbled a note on his clipboard.

They stood in silence for a few minutes. "Okay, I'm going to go get something to eat. You want me to bring you something?"

"Are there any poptarts left?"

"I'll go check." Cloud turned and began to walk away. "Be home for dinner."

"Kay! Love you snookums!" Cloud just shook his head and smiled, he'd learned early on not to bother Dyme when he decides to play scientist.

Coincidence

"Look, I'm not saying its fate, but I think it is." Dyme pointed at Cloud with his fork. "I mean think about it; the kid's all about freedom and goodness, he's got skillz with a blade, and his hair looks like a mix of yours and Leon's."

"Are you trying to break up with me?" Cloud finally entered the conversation. "Because there are better ways of doing it. And better places." He looked pointedly at the full dinner table.

"I'm just saying Sora could be you and Leon's lovechild from the future." Dyme shrugged. "It can't be a coincidence that he looks so similar to you two."

"What other similarities are there other than the hair?" Leon demanded.

"He's got Cloud's eyes." Dyme turned and stared at Sora. "And he's got Leon's nose."

"No I don't!" Sora whined covering his face with his hands. "And stop looking at me!"

"Look, I just want you to know that if you ever do cheat on me with Leon, your kids will be adorable."

"I'm not going to cheat on you with Leon!"

"Yeah." Riku stared at Sora critically. "And besides, he's got Dyme's hands and ears. So he's probably yours and Cloud's."

Sora made a betrayed noise before letting his forehead meet the table.
