A/N: This story came from another dream I had: In it Cloud was at an outside barbeque and his phone started to ring and he answered it. It was Leon… and he said to Cloud, “Are you ready to fulfill the promise…?” and at the moment I was like ‘say yes Cloud!’ …cuz I thought what the promise meant had to be good… but then…Cloud didn’t say anything and got really sad… my dream then showed me that Leon was Cloud’s guardian angel and the promise they made…was when Leon came home Cloud had to let him go, so he could go back to heaven, because if he didn’t…he’d become a fallen angel…
Note: when you see -- around dialog like this: --"blah blah"-- it's the person on the phone and this: "blah blah" is dialog from the past (This only goes for this chapter)

Fools Gold: When you thought you had found something precious all the time…and it turns out to be fools gold; it looks the same but you realize, its not…but you love it just as much as you would if it was real so…I doesn’t really matter that it’s fake, not to you. You love it still. For it’s still precious, it’s still beautiful, and most importantly…it’s yours, even if it’s worthless…I guess that’s what makes you the fool… and it…Fool’s Gold…
Break Me From This Bond/Stay With Me
Chapter 1: Times Up
Cloud sat in the late night bar ‘Fools’ Gold’, alone. It wasn’t late yet, not really, only about one, Cloud knew it wouldn’t be till dawn though that he would be leaving this place.
Leon will be upset with me, Cloud thought with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
What does it matter though, Cloud thought sadly, he’s going to leave me either way…
Cloud thought back to close to a week ago, the last time he spoke to Leon in person, the first time he found out there was a limit on their time together, and that time was running out:
Cloud walked down the hall of his small apartment, to the bedroom he now shared with the man he knew as Leon. To anyone else, he would appear to be just another unearthly beautiful person with a slight imperfection, but to Cloud…Cloud knew just how rare and precious this person, bound to him, really was…
But when he found the said man packing, Cloud’s stomach dropped , and his heart sank as he asked, “What are you doing?”
“Well, I need to take care of this body, don’t I? Can’t really do that without cloths.” the man spoke, never turning from the task at hand.
“You know that’s not what I meant.” the blond replied; desperately trying to hide the fear in his voice with anger, “Where are you going?”
Leon stopped and turned his head in Cloud’s direction; he wasn’t staring at him so much as through him, then after a moment he closed his eye’s and turned from Cloud back to his luggage. After zipping it up he replied simply, “Europe.”
Leon set the suitcase onto the floor and then turned and sat casually on the bed; he leaned back on his hands for support, his legs parted slightly, and he looked back to Cloud, a neutral expression coloring his face.
He couldn‘t breathe…
“Your drink, Sir.”
Cloud look up from his hands quickly, startled from being pulled from his memories, and noticed the bartender setting down his drink in front of him. He mumbled a thanks, closing his hands around the tiny glass, fading from this place…
“I don’t understand…”
He recalled himself saying at the time, barely audible...
He remembered Leon had sighed before responding…
“I guess there are some things I’ve neglected to tell you…” He began saying, Cloud had long since fallen silent…
“Though, there really wasn’t much point in telling you until now…”
The bell attached to the front door of the bar chimed, another customer. It was barely accountable for background noise to Cloud; he didn’t turn, didn’t move, his hands stayed closed around the shot glass, his mind elsewhere…
“No point because, well, first off, you were my first task to take care of:
Task 1: Cloud Strife - return one’s will to live by all means…”
“…And the other?”
“What?” Leon looked up to Cloud confused
“Your other task, who…or what is it?”
“That…” Leon said closing his eyes, “I can’t tell you…”
Cloud lifted the glass and allowed the substance it held to touch his lips.
…Peppermint…it’s tastes like him… tears welled in Cloud’s eyes, It reminds me of him…
“but I want you to promise me something, Cloud.”
Cloud closed his eyes tightly, to get closer to the memory, and further from his pain…
“While I’m gone, I want you to live on your own two feet. Live for yourself, and no one else… At the very least try to let me go. You no longer need me, Cloud, I can see that, but you don‘t. I need you to see that too…”
Cloud downed the drink, hissing slightly as it burned its way down his throat.
Bzzzt -- bzzzt
Cloud felt his phone vibrating from within his coat pocket, he shifted slightly and reached for it…
“And when I come back I want you to promise…”
Cloud looked at the caller ID…it was Leon…
“Promise me you’ll let me go. I want you to promise me you’ll break me from this bond, and let me go.”
Cloud opened the phone and placed it gently to his ear, he hesitated. “…Hello?”
“Please, Cloud…”
--“Hey…are you ready to fulfill your promise?”--
“…”
“Don’t make me fallen…”
--oOo--
Cloud closed his eyes tightly, to get closer to the memory, and further from his pain…
Though it seemed pointless…both the memory and his present brought him pain…but differently…
In the memory, Leon may have broken his heart with his words, but now…he was sitting here…
Waiting for the man he loved to come back…only to leave him again…and this time…he wouldn’t be coming back…
