A/N: Hey guys! This is my first time publishing a story here on FF Net, gosh this is really exciting yet kinda scary. WAHHH. I don't have a beta so excuse me if there are any typos and such.

I've been obsessed with kid!Cloud&Squall, for the past few weeks so I just wrote this randomly last night. Cleon is my favorite pairing ever, so do know that most of what I will be righting is Cleon.

Disclaimer: If I had it my way Squall and Cloud would be mine and I would have no reason to write this dribble considering they would be there to act it out for me. /Sigh. If only.

Rate and Review guys, I would love to read what you guys think.

Cloud is seven and Squall is four, Squall really likes Cloud.

I'm writing a second chapter of this because a reviewer inspired me! Expect it in the next few days!

Tails out!

"Up-up." Said a quiet voice.

The blond looked down and saw a small brunette tugging on the fabric of his shorts.

"Up." He said softly again.

"You want to go up?" The blond asked. The brunette nodded his head yes, eyes focused intently on the blond's face. The blond bent down and wrapped his arms around the brunette's upper back and thighs, lifting the child up and cradling him against his chest.

"Cloud." The brunette said contentedly as he snuggled into the crook of the blond's neck. Cloud just tightened his grip on the small boy.

"It's so cute how much he loves you, Cloud." Said a female brunette.

"Aerith's right, he is really attached to you, he's a little weird." A red-headed boy said.

"Axel's being mean!" wailed a younger black haired girl.

"Am not Yuffie!" Axel called back.

"Are so! You're picking on Squall!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!" Axel huffed out louder.

"Are too!" Yuffie raised the volume just a little more.

"ENOUGH!" said surprisingly loud by the normally quiet Aerith and effectively Axel and Yuffie had shut up. Aerith turned her head to their blond companion, yet was surprised to find he and his little brunette attachment had disappeared. She looked around and finally saw that Cloud had carried Squall over to the large oak tree about fifteen feet away. They were sitting gingerly in the shade, Squall sitting in Cloud's lap, small hands on top of the hands wrapped around his midsection. Squall sat gazing out onto the other parts of the school playground, not showing any particular emotion other than satisfaction that he was with Cloud; while Cloud has his eyes shut and cheek resting atop the brunette's head.

"See what I mean? They're so weird. They're never like that when apart, together and boom they're like that." Axel said dryly.

"...Kinda." Yuffie mumbled under her breath. Axel whipped his head around at that.

"I heard that."

"No you didn't"

"Oh yes I did."

"Yeah right!"

"Sure did!"

"No you didn't!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!" Aerith didn't even have time to yell at the two before Yuffie took off in a sprint with Axel following right on her heels. It wasn't really hard considering Yuffie was about four and Axel was seven, tall, and had long legs. He caught her and picked her up by the torso and happily fell backwards onto the soft grass, despite his ribcage being crushed by the small girl. Aerith just shook her head, she had such strange friends.

It was pretty strange how they'd all become friends though, herself, Axel, and Cloud were in the 2nd grade, where as Squall and Yuffie were in Pre-K. Squall's family had moved to Radiant Garden when Squall was three, they'd become the Strife's new neighbors. Cloud had told them that their parents had gotten really friendly so Squall came over to play with him practically every day. Squall was surprisingly intelligent for a four year-old and Cloud said they never failed to have a interesting conversation. Cloud? Squall? Conversation? Surely Cloud was joking right?

In public you never really saw the pair talking, only interacting through sweet little physical actions like they had done earlier, holding hands, hugs, Cloud picking Squall up, but only once Aerith had heard one of these so called 'conversations'. She had just rounded a corner when she saw the two sitting on the floor playing with legos and yes they actually were conversing about how they planned on building the most awesome lego creation ever. She'd seen how Squall had smiled when he said the creation was going to be "This big." he held his arms out as far as they could stretch, his eyes beaming, cheeks absolutely rosy. What he had said was quiet but still it screamed with emotion. She saw how Cloud had smiled that rare and true smile that almost no one got to see. She saw how that smile was only for Squall.

She walked to where Axel and Yuffie appeared to be wrestling in the grass, Yuffie seemed to be winning. The pair stopped to acknowledge the arrival of the girl, Yuffie lying atop of Axel's stomach in the middle of biting his forearm, as Axel was in the midst of pinching her by the cheeks.

"I'm never quite sure whether you two are actually friends or not." Aerith said jokingly as she sat beside them.

"Ob cooorse we awre!" Yuffie slurred out, her mouth no longer full of Axel, but cheeks still pulled wide by Axel's pinching.

"Yeah there's nothing wrong with friendly wrestling" Axel noted.

"Yeah!"

"Yup!"

"Yah-huh" Aerith shook her head; these two never seemed to notice they repeated one another about a thousand times. She once again turned her head back to the two under the tree, not wanting to focus on the two she was sitting with.

Squall had turned around in Cloud's lap and was facing the boy, staring intently at his face. Cloud just stared back for a moment before leaning forward to press his lips slightly on Squall's. The kiss was short and chaste but none the less it had happened. Cloud uttered something that had made the brunette smile then close his own eyes, pressing his hands down on Cloud's forearms for support as his reached up to reciprocate the kiss. They parted quickly and Squall nuzzled the bridge of his nose to Cloud's chin, both their eyes were shut in satisfaction. Squall also said something that made the blond smile against his forehead.

They must have nuzzled for at least a minute before Squall had turned around and settled back against Cloud's chest. Cloud placed his chin on the smaller boy's head and stared out mindlessly onto the other kids on the playground. They both had content smiles on their face as they sat in comfortable silence, completely unaware of their friend's watchful eyes.

Aerith found it strange that she wasn't even remotely bothered by the fact that the two boys had just kissed. Unfazed by the fact that the boy she in fact had a crushed on had just kissed their younger friend, of who was a boy. She instead felt warm and slightly bubbly inside. Warmth because she saw how her two friends seemed to be extremely happy, and bubbly because it just seemed right. It seemed right that the two had shared that tender first experience with each other, like they were destined for each other.

"Did you see what I just saw?"

"Yup."

"Did they just-"

"Yup."

"Because it looked like they-"

"Yup." Aerith giggled at the two's interaction, clearly they had not figured out that Cloud and Squall were simply destined for each other like she had. She started laughing full-heartedly as they gave her confused looks.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I don't really know." She said as she gasped for air, holding her stomach as she fell back against the grass.

"Is she laughing at us?" Said Cloud who along with Squall had walked over hand-in-hand to the group. Squall remained silent as he gripped the blond's hand with his own.

"We don't know." Axel responded.

"Yeah she just started laughing out of nowhere." Yuffie followed up.

"Hmm." Was all Cloud said before Squall tugged slightly on his shorts with his other hand.

"Can we eat lunch now?" He said in that quiet voice of his. Cloud looked back to the group and saw that all three were nodding their head in agreement.

"Yeah, let's go eat." He responded.

"YEAH!" Axel and Yuffie yelled as they practically catapulted off the ground and towards the table where they had all left their bags, Aerith skipping happily after them, and Cloud and Squall trailed hand-in-hand behind the girl.
