General Fic Summary: Before Sora, Kairi and Riku, another special trio were destined to fight the darkness: Cloud Strife, Aerith Gainsborough and Zack Fair. Their journey involves monsters, wizards, mechanics, ninjas, plus the greatest of all nemeses: love and death. Even the greatest love stories can become tragedies in a heartbeat. KH/FF7/FF8/FF12/Disney. Epic like an epic thing.
Chapter Summary: 70: Lea warns Leon to back off, and the truth of the tragedies in Yuffie's past finally come to light.
Excerpt:
"Ignoring me, are we?" Lea singsongs.
Leon remains silent.
"I'm not going away."
"I know."
"It speaks!"
"What do you want?" Brusque and to the point. Lea expected no less. Leon's so predictable it's like writing a soap opera script; you can change names and locations, but the recycled plots are always the same.
Not that soap operas are one of the things Lea misses from his world. Not even the ones with the big-titted actresses. He and Reno used to turn off the sound and invent their own dialogue ("Oh, Anthony, I'm having your crack-addict-half-brother's baby, and I'm leaving you for the gun-toting-secret-agent milkman to do it!" "No, Sondra, I'm afraid I'm leaving you first so you can pay all my gambling debts, which I ran up while indulging my secret life as a transvestite called Miriam!" "You bastard!" "You whore!" "Want one last shag to say goodbye?" "Okay!") but life without television was a bit of a drag until he and Yuffie came up with other ways to fill their evenings.
An image of Yuffie leaps into his mind. He pictures her dishevelled and smiling, leaning back against his pillows and exposing her throat in a primal act of trust. You don't show a predator your windpipe or your jugular. Doing so implies faith of a kind Lea isn't used to - not unless it's from Reno. He and Reno are blood. Their bond is even stronger than Turk-loyalty. They've proved it time and again, but Yuffie is the first person to show the same level of trust in Lea. It's a thrill. She'd trust him with her life, and he …
Would he trust her with his?
