Disclaimer: Dude if I owned KH there would be a MMO version already.

It was night time. Most people would be in bed asleep. However, Squall Leonhart, wasn't most people. For some reason he had a strange feeling something was going to happen. Tch, he must be hanging around Saki too much. The little girl claimed she can actually see the future. Squall couldn't help but feel something was going to happen tonight. He couldn't put his finger on it.

"Gaah! Stop it! Leave me alone!" A voice had screamed out of nowhere. The brunette was trying to trace the voice of a person obviously in danger. Squall had began running down the streets until he was certain where the cry for help was coming from.

Squall then stumbled on two buff males who were tall and very aggressive. Squall saw a blonde boy on the ground badly hurt. The two men had then smirked and grabbed the unconscious blonde. Squall had then decided to be the hero for a change.

After beating the two men into bloody pulps, the brunette had then proceeded the carry the blonde boy bridal style back to the castle. The only thing that was bothering the brunette was the fact that he's never seen this boy before in the castle. Professor Ansem always takes the orphans into the castle. Why hasn't this one?

Cloud was aching all over. He shouldn't even question why, he has been living on the streets for over three years. Cloud tried to sit up and realized what he was lying on was actually soft and comforting. That was really surprising.

Cloud was trying to sum up what had happened last night. Well, first he tried to steal food and got caught. Then those big men beat him up continuously. The last he remembered was blacking. Cloud had been confused. Where was he and why was he in a bed? The only reason Cloud lived these three horrible years was because of the Mako that flowed in his veins.

Suddenly, Cloud's sensitive hearing had caught the sound of footsteps coming close to the door. The spiky blonde started to shiver in fear and terror at what might happen to him. Tears started to form in his blue crystalline eyes as those thoughts got worse and worse.

"Hey, are you alright? You're bruises were kinda bad, but I treated them for you-!" Squall had noticed that the spiky blonde haired boy was cringing in fear and crying. The brunette had then rushed towards the boy and hugged him and reassured him he was safe.

"Y-you mean you won't hurt me?" The blonde had innocently asked the brunette. Squall didn't know why but he had found this very cute. He gave a small smile to the younger boy and once again told him he was going to be fine.

"You're at the Great Ansem the Wise's Castle. So you'll be fine. By the way, what's your name?" Squall had asked politely.

"Cloud," The blonde had replied. "Cloud Strife. And yours?"

"Squall Leonhart." The brunette had stated. Cloud couldn't hold in the giggle that was trying to escape his mouth. Squall had chuckled already expecting that to happen.

"Hey! New Kid!" A little boy with black hair and red crimson colored eyes that seemed like they were actually blood ran inside cheerfully. He was jumping around the bed, happy that there was a new kid here in the Castle. Another child, a little girl, with blue vibrant hair and lavender eyes had then smiled at the blonde resting on the bed. Squall had sighed at the boy, getting very annoyed at the boy's hyperactive behavior.

"Neo! Calm down!" Squall ordered the little boy, who was supposedly a PRINCE. It was kind of hard to believe. Cloud however found it funny and loved how homely it was to be in the same room as all the rest of them.

As soon as Squall took the younger kids out he finally sighed in relief before he asked Cloud a question. "Are you hungry, Cloud?"

Cloud had tried to protest, however his stomach had other ideas.

GROWWWWL!

"I'll take that as a yes." Squall had chuckled at the blushing blonde. The brunette then proceeded to leave to get the blonde a plate of breakfast.

Cloud's POV

I was really nervous about staying here, but I didn't want to let Squall know that. I don't want to be coddled or protected like some fragile doll. I'm much stronger than that.

I really hope that I'll be accepted here. I mean, I've lived on the streets for most of my childhood. I don't know how to even start at making friends with people. I was always shunned, thrown aside, or beaten. Who would want to be friends with me? Or even Love me?

I quickly shake away those negative thoughts. Perk up, Cloud! Perk up! You don't want Squall to notice you being depressed. I should really be thanking him for bringing me here. Instead I'm still thinking about myself. I'm so darn Selfish!

"Cloud, here's your food." I turn around startled by Squall's appearance, but that all fades away when I get a whiff of the scrumptious, delicious meal before me. My mouth was watering. I practically salivated on myself. Well, in my defense, I haven't had a proper meal in years so.

I greedily took the plate of food out of his hands and started to eat every last bite. Squall looked at me with concern as if I should slow down. I think not.

He was then laughing at how I looked while I ate, but could you blame him?

Normal POV

Squall had never seen someone eat like there life depended on it before, well now he has. Having Cloud around...Might be fun.

Neo: Done!

Neox: Please Feedback is needed so I know what to make better.
