RED RAIN DROPS

FALL ON THE GROUND ONE BY ONE.

LIKE THE BLOOD FROM MY ARMS.

I'LL TAKE THIS INK FROM MY HEART, AND WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE SKY.

ALL BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

-Rannon.

I sat in the window to my new home...bleh...

This wet, dark dump called Traverese Town, I'd rather be back in Twilight Town where the days sky always looked like a sunset. Oh well, no one can have everything they want, as they say: beggers can't be chooser's.

I looked away from the depressing site outside my window and around my room, it was really plain because I hadn't decorated my new room. My floors were polished wood and the walls were pure white, meaning I would have to cover them. I was the oldest kid in my family, so I got the second biggest room out of the whole house, which was a really big house, located just outside of the busy streets of Traverse Town.

Tomorrow I had to start school. IT SUCKS!! Just when I was settelling into my old school my dad had to get a promotion.

"Hey Sora! Mom said to come get something to eat and help me take my stuff up to my room." came a voice from the other side of my door. The voice belonged to my twin brother, Roxas, who was was born five minutes after me.

"Whatever..." I mumbled under my breath as I walked doen to our new kitchen.

When I walked down into the hallway, mom was yelling at Roxas for putting his feet on the table or something like that.

"Hey kiddo, glad you could finally join us." said my dad, rubbing my brown mock of hair that defied gravity until recently. coughdad's faultcough

"Dad, Sora's in a foul mood, so you wouldn't really want to pester him right now." said Roxas, flashing his blue eyes between me and dad wearily. Roxas looked just like me when you thought about it, but his hair was a lighter shade of brown and shorter, he also had good people skills.

Me on the other hand had the same coloured eyes, which was a brillant sapphire blue, brown hair that was gravity defieing, and if it was wet it would be up to my shoulders, and I wasn't antisocial I just hated to be around anyone other than those I found adiquate.

"Oh Sora, wipe that frown off your face and eat your lunch, then you and Roxas can go set up in the basement." said my mom, placing a plate with a sandwhich on it infront of me.

"What do we need to set up in the basement?" Roxas and I asked in unison, we smirked at on another and gave a secret high-five under the table.

"Your band equipment." said dad.

Roxas and I looked at eachother with genuine smiles on our faces, we loved our equipment way more then we loved our parents.

Roxas played the drums, I played the guitar and we could both play the piano. We both loved music because it was the easiest way for us to express our feelings.

We finished out lunch and went into the front room to get the boxs' labelled 'music' and took them down to the basement on sevral different treks up and down the stairs.

When we finished setting up everything we looked at the clock to see it was almost nine o'clock.

"We should go to bed, we have an busy day tomorrow." said Roxas starting to walk up the basement stairs.

"Yeah, a winderful day filled with magical ponnies and rainbows." I said sarcasticlly, rolling my eyes as I stalked up the stairs.

"Sora, Sora..." came a soft voice, followed by a shaking of my shoulders.

I opened my eyes slowly as the voicestarted talking again, "Sora...if you don't wake up I'll have to kiss you..."

My thoughts became mischivous at that point, but I tried to repress them. I failed at one thing: stopping these words coming from my mouth: "Come on then baby, unless you don't know how."

I heard a gasp and felt a smack on my head and boy did it hurt.

"SORA! YOU PERVERT!!" then came the slamming of my bedroom door and the loud noise of footsteps storming the stairs.

I laughed to myself as I got up from my bed and decided to get dressed.

I went into the shower and stood underneath the showerhead and let the boiling water burn my skin for a while.

After I got out of the shower I put on my black slacks, and the white button shirt. I looked at the tie, vest and jscket we had to wear. Even if I wore the tie I would have to wear the vest or jacket.

The tie was a deep red as was the vest but the jacket was black. I went throught my cupboard and found a thight fitting black vest my mom had bought me. Dad wasn't too happy about it but that's why I liked mom best; she let me stay out late, didn't really mind who I was with and if I got into trouble as long as it wasn't too much trouble, and last but not least...she didn't care that I was gay.

That's right, I, Himaru Sora, am gay, G-A-Y, I liked men and so on and so forth. Mom didn't care infact she loved me for it, she loved me because I wasn't afraid to admit it either.

I remember one timme this guy at one of myt old school's (I can't remember the name of the school, it was a long time ago) called me gay and I replied back proudly; "Damn straight I like men you have a problem with that fatty?"

After that mom took me shopping and we went out to dinner, telling me she was so proud of me that I admitted my sexual preference and didn't give a rat's ass about what other's thought, and yes she used those exact words.

I examined myself in the mirror, I still had the loose black slacks and white shirt on, I also had a black vest and the red tie on with red and black checkered levi's with my hair spiked messily. I grabbed my black shoulder bag mom had picked out for me for the start of school. If I ever needed anything mom would ask me and she would know exactly what I was talking about and she did my clothes shopping for me. Everytime I came home when we were in Hollow Bastion, I found boxes of clothes on my bed, including shoes and accessories.

I walked out of my room intent of going downstairs before I heard a rough cough.

I sighed and turned around lazily, "Good morning father, is there something I can help you with?" I asked while he walked towards me.

"Yes there is actually, you see it would be a pain if the media found out my eldest son was one of those horrible homosexuals, since you are-"

"HORROBILE?! THE ONLY HORRIBLE THING AROUND HERE IS YOU!! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ACCEPT IT LIKE MOM?!" I screamed at him.

"Sora! You are my son and you are supposed to follow in my footsteps! You are the eldest! That means you are to inherit the buisness one day-"

I cut him off again; "DIDN'T YOU ONCE THINK 'HMMM, MAYBE SORA DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE OVER, MAYBE HE WANTS TO HAVE A LIFE, HIS LIFE'?!"

I didn't give him time to answer, I stormed downstairs without another word to him, I told mother that I would get something to eat on the way home, she gave me my lunch and a kiss on my forehead, and I gave her a hug telling her I also wouldn't be home till late that afternoon.

I walked to school just looking at what was happening around me; children that had a free day were running around laughing, birds were chirping and adults were on their mobiles. Classic Monday morning I guess for Traverse Town.

I sighed and continued walking.

Why couldn't he just get Roxas to take over? Why did I have to do it? Because I was the eldest was what he would say right now if I asked him.

I looked at the big building beside me. It was my new school from now on, wopdee-frigin'-doo.

I got into the office and gave the woman my name, she looked at me with amazment.

"Uhh...miss are you okay?" I asked sincerely, her expression really scared me.

"I just thought you would be more...what's the word-"

"-formal, abide by the dress code, short haired, more like my father?" I finished with many options for her to choose from.

"Well, I thought that yes you would be more formal and more like your father, but you don't look like anyone but you." said the woman with a soft smile on her face.

"Is that a bad thing?" I asked. I was really worried about what this woman thought of me, I didn't know why though, I guess its kinda like how I am with mom.

"No its a good thing, a very good thing." said the woman handing me some papers.
