Separation

The day seemed made to mock him. it was bright and sunny and warm with the smells of flowers on the breeze and a gentle melody on the wind. the young teen sighed and glared at the room around him from the window ledge of his new room. it was only half unpacked and was littered with boxes of his things the furniture was a simple twin sized bed that looked like it had once been part of a set of bunk beds. a dresser of thick oak and a desk of the same material, a side table and bookcase of lighter veneered wood completes the furniture. his bedspread was dark blue with stars splashed across it and his sheets were light blue. Most of his clothes were already stuffed in the dresser and closet. He had taken a break unpacking and had gone to stare out the single window in his room which, was facing the back yard and gave him a good view of the back yards of the houses around him. The one to the left was full of a lovely garden full of flowers and a few plants that looked like they were tomatoes and peppers.

There was a blonde girl kneeling in the dirt near the plants obviously weeding the garden. On a bench in the yard directly behind her house there was a young blonde guy with a mullet playing a guitar softly, there was the source of the music at least. Once in a while one or the other would say something across the fence. He sighed again and turned back to his new room in his new home. He missed the island already, he'd missed it the moment he'd packed up his room there. He didn't want a new family or a new home he wanted his old life back his old family he missed his dad ,brother, and sister. even if it had only been five years. His parents had divorced and his father had left taking the youngest of his children with him leaving Sora and their older brother with his ex-wife. Sora had tired to locate them for the last five years and found nothing. The only thing he had found was something on a family named Shin-ra but nothing else. Now his mother was marrying a guy she'd met three years before and he was supposed to be happy for her. He was happy she had found some one but he wanted his father too. As he stared at the mess there was a knock on his door. He looked up into the face of his older brother. He had similar spiky cinnamon colored hair and blue eyes but Denzel's eyes were darker than Sora's

"Hey brat want to go out for a while Marlene's offered to show us around the city?" he asked leaning in the doorway in a pair of dark grey cargo shorts and a blue hooded sleevless shirt.

"Sure." he brightened and followed his brother out and down the stairs to the living room where their soon to be step sister was waiting. She wore a pink dress, and had her brown hair up in pigtails with pink ribbons. She was a cute girl and obviously was aware of it as she smiled at both of them.

"Sora are you joining us?" She asked.

"Yeah." he agreed trying to sound less sullen than he felt.

"Great come on." she dragged them both out.

The house was near the end of the block on a street in the area of the city called Sunset terrace. It was the ritzy part of town where people watched eachother's houses and doors were left unlocked. As they were heading down the street for the train to the rest of town they saw a tall read head with odd tattoos under his eyes enter the house where Sora had seen the blonde girl. He wore only a pair of black jeans and a yellow T-shirt he didn't even notice them as he went inside. Neither Marlene or Denzel paid him any heed either but Sora was sure he'd seen the guy somewhere before.

The train deposited them at the main station a large building with a bell tower at the top. There was a small staircase near the tracks which had a no entry sign hung on them which looked like it would reach the tower. Outside of the station was a large square with roads leading to the rest of the town.

On the road down to the shopping district Sora saw a trio of kids two boys on skate boards and a girl on bike roll into a nearby alley, Marlene was pointing out everything and Denzel was hanging onto her every word. Sora was quickly getting bored he' rather be meeting people than walking around. They passed the library and Marlene stopped to tell them something about the statue out front as someone came running out of the doors and ran into Sora.

"Sorry about that." the other teen said helping Sora up.

"It's okay Sora said looking at the other teen.

He looked about a year older than Sora himself with shoulder length silver hair and catlike green eyes underneath sloppy bangs. He had a slight muscular build and was at least a foot taller then Sora himself. He was wearing a black sleeveless shirt and blue jean shorts with a pair of black sandals. He was certainly worth looking at Sora fought down a blush at the sight of him.

"I should have been looking where I was going, I'm Sora I just moved into town." he hoped he was not blushing as he looked the other over.

"Riku I've lived here all my life." he smiled.

"Great ,I was being shown around by my step sister." looking around Sora saw no sign of Denzel or Marlene. "Who lost track of me."

"Well Maybe I can finish the tour and help you get home, where do you live?"

"Sunset Terrace over on Oceanview."

"Me too."

"Great." Sora's stomach interrupted their conversation.

"How about we start with a place to grab lunch?" Riku suggested with a smirk.

"Sure." Sora beamed and allowed himself to be led off in search of food.

"Riku watched Sora as they walked along the street, he reminded Riku of someone he just wasn't sure who. He was nice and cute. A pity he might not like guys the way Riku did.

He led Sora to the butterfly a restaurant/arcade where alot of the kids in the city hung out or worked. it was crowded for being early afternoon still. As soon as they entered the building a red haired girl with purple eyes and a sweet smile walked up to them she wore a white waist apron over a light blue maid style dress.

"Hello Riku, whose this? " she looked at Sora.

"Hey Kairi, this is Sora he's new around here. Sora this is Kairi one of my best friends."

"Hi I hope Riku's not dragging you around." she smiled brightly.

"Hello, nope I asked him to since my step sister and older brother ditched me."

"Ah I see well come on I'll give you guys a table and set you up with some food." she winked playfully.

"Great." the brunette followed her dragging Riku with him.

They ended up in a booth close to the video games. Sora looked at the games instead of the menus Kairi had handed them. he saw a bunch he had played and alot he hadn't. including his absolute favorite.

"So Sora what do you want to eat?" Riku asked trying to get the younger boy's attention.

"Anything." The boy replied.

"Really?" Riku raised one silver eyebrow, the boy certainly had thw energy to bakc up his claim.

"Yeah."

"they do have mostly snack things here but they also have the best burgers too."

"Great."

Kairi came back with a pitcher of greenish yellow liquid and two cups and pulled out her note pad. "Let me guess Riku your usual?"

"Yes and a number two special." he answered putting the menu down.

"Got it be right back." she took off for the kitchens which were behind an old style counter in the back of the building. the restaurant part took up the middle of the building with the games along the sides and part of the front. a few other teens and young adults were in the uniform of the waitresses and a few guys were in blue pants and white shirts with the apron. About a dozen other kids around their age were around either sitting at tables or playing games. Another kid their age was running around in the Waiter outfit serving food too.

"this a place is nice there's nothing like this back home."

"So where is this back home?"

"Destiny island."

"Odd I know some on else who moved here from there a while ago."

"Really? I'm not surprised alot of people have been moving off the islands these days."

"I've heard ,too bad the place sounds nice."

"It is." he smiled. "but it's not much in the job department that's why so many peopel are leaving."

"I see, well alot of the older people in this town work at the big city further inland, my dad does too so I hardly see him."

"wow."

They hung around for an hour just talking. A few times Sora caught Riku practically staring at him. As they chatted the door swung open and the red head Sora had seen before waltzed in followed by a very familiar blond boy his hair was almost as spiky as Sora's and his eyes were the same blue. he wore a black sleeveless shirt and khaki cargo pant like shirts. They Saw Riku first and wandered over, the red head had one arm casually thrown over the blond's shoulders.

"Hey Riku so this is where you got off too." The red head called.

"Why you've been looking for me Axel?"

"Well not really we just saw you inside and came to bother you and whoever you're with huh Roxy?"

'Yeah." Roxas smirked at Riku then looked over at Sora and his eyes widened so did Sora's as he got a good look at the blond.

"Sora?" he stared at the almost mirror image infront of him.

"Roxas?" Soar started to get up.

the blond practically knocked Sora back into the wall of the booth as he pounced and hugged his elder brother. Sora returned the hug just as excited to see him.

"when did you get here and how?" the younger teen asked. not getting off his sibling.

"Mom moved here a few days ago with me and Denzel she's marrying this guy she's been seeing for a year." Sora told him.

"She is?" he was happy to see his brother but their mother... he wasn't sure if he wanted to see her.

"Yeah but it's not so bad our step sister's nice but I think she has a crush on Denzel. Our stepbrother's kinda weird though. how about you?"

"Well Dad moved here after he and mom separated and we stayed with his brother for awhile until he started seeing Riku's dad and now we live with them so I guess Riku's our step brother too."

"You say that like it's a bad thing." Riku told him.

"You're point." he was still sitting on his brother.

"So who is this Roxas?" Axel asked taking a seat next to Riku on the other side of the booth.

"Oh Axel this is mine and Nami's brother Sora he's older than Nami by five minutes and me by two. Sora my boy friend Axel."

"Yo." Axel greeted grinning fomr ear to ear.

"Hi, boy friend?" Sora asked looking at Axel he was very hot with spiky red hair that stuck out everywhere and green eyes with triangular marks under his eyes.

"Yeah I'm gay." Roxas said watching for his triplet's reaction.

"Great at least I'm not alone." Sora smiled at him.

"you're gay?" Roxas asked him.

"Yea, but I haven't told any of the family I live with mom would probably freak." he said quielty.

"I guess, I know dad didn't mind when I told him about me and Axel since he already knew Axel." Roxas said.

"That's good. So where's Nami?"

"I believe her and Orlette another friend of ours is shopping right now."

"At least you guys made friends here."

"You a couple of them I'll share Riku he needs some one to hang around since I stole his best friend."

"Thanks alot Roxas." the silver haired teen smirked at his friend.

The other three laughed and Sora shook his head at least he was making friends now. He had not had that many friends back home. Her had been a loner and the others had picked on him for looking so much like a girl.

"So why have I never got a hug like that?" Axel asked.

"Have you ever deserved one?" Riku asked his best friend who glared at him.

They continued to talk and tease eachother. Even challenging one another to a few games.

It was getting late and they left the Butterfly to wander aimlessly in the direction of the train station. about half way there they saw Denzel and Marlene. Roxas fell back a little.

"We probably shouldn't let mom know we're here yet." Roxas told his older brother.

"Okay." Sora pouted.

"that's going to be hard isn't that Baralai's little sister?" Riku asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, they live right next door to us." Roxas told them.

"We do?" Sora asked pout vanishing.

"Yeah."

"Wow."

"Fine I'll go with Sora you two catch up if you don't want them to see you Roxas." Riku told him.

"Right." the blond teen smirked as the two walked away and his boyfriend proceed to wrap his arms around his waist.

"And what devious thing is going through your mind my light?" Axel asked knowing that smirk well.

"I don't know what you mean Axel, I mean its not like Riku wasn't practically watching Sora every second or something."

"You're matchmaking?" he nuzzled the shorter teen playfully.

"Yes I am I think Riku and Sora will get along great don't you?"

"I don't know Riku has never had a steady relationship he's always seemed to busy with studying to pay attention to any one in that way in the whole time I've known him which has been since he was in diapers."

"We'll see then won't we come on we should take the next train."

"Right." Axel agreed still not believing his lover at times.

Marlene and Denzel had wandered over the town in hopes of finding Sora. After they had realized they had lost track of him and finally headed back for the train station hoping he was waiting for the at home. Neither had expected to see him walk up to him with Riku.

"Hey Marlene lose something?" Riku asked seeing his neighbor, he threw an arm over Sora's shoulders.

"Hello Riku. Sora where have you been?" she asked not looking at the older teen.

"Hanging with Riku we ran into eachother after you guys wandered off." he told her.

"Sorry Sora we didn't notice you weren't with us until we couldn't find you." His older brother told him.

"It's fine Denzel really I had a blast with Riku."

"Really?" He looked at the silver haired teen over, he looked alright but was awfully close to his brother.

"Yeah we hung out at the butterfly and played some games it was great."

"Well don't tell mom I lost you she'll freak."

"Yeah I know."

The four of them got on the train and Marlene sat on one end Denzel followed her while Riku took a seat close to the door and Sora sat next to him.

"So why doesn't Marlene seem to like you?"

"Don't know she never really has , she used to baby-sit me and Larxene my older sister when we were little and we made it hell for her so that's probably her problem."

"Ah." Sora nodded.

they returned to Sunset terrace and headed down the steps to the main road and along the walks to Oceanview. they separated at the houses Riku went inside to wait for Roxas and Axel as Sora had to follow Denzel and Marlene into theirs he went back to his room to finished unpacking before their parents returned home.

about an hour later he heard something thump against the window frame and looked up to see that his room faced Riku's. The silver haired teen was waving at him from his window.

"Hey Sora."

"Hey Riku."

"I'll see you in the morning right?"

"Yeah see you."
