Well, as my old readers have probably figured out, I'm toteffly rewriting this fic; I wasn't satisfied, you know? I knew I could do better once I read it again.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts. If I did, well, the fangirls would love me.

Love You to Death

Of course he was going to leave home sometime. We just... Didn't know it was going to be like this.

Who am I talking about? Sora. My older brother of two years. We've been best friends since as long as we both can remember. We did everything together; unless Sora went out to do something with Kairi, a friend he's had since Kairi came here. He and I were very different; he was optimistic, spunky, oblivious, obnoxious, annoying, you name it. Me, well, I'm quiet, somewhat shy, and smart-ass, that kind of person. I've also been labeled 'emo' by some people, since I like to keep to myself and only talk to four people, not including teachers and my parents. I've actually been asked by the teachers if I needed counseling; they could set it up for me. By the younger ones, I've been asked if I was cutting myself and if I needed help. The answer was always "no", just in case you were wondering.

But anyway. Sora and I did everything together. We were inseparable for as long as I can remember, which was probably our sandbox days. Yeah, that's about it; sandbox days. I remember the times that we got irritated at each other, and threw sand in each other's hair. We'd push and shove, to only make up about it later. We'd play tag in the backyard with the neighborhood kids. I remember when I used to get jealous when Kairi came over and he left me hanging, only to be saved by Namine not too long after. If one was interested in something, so was the other. Right before he left, Greek mythology was our recent obsession. My favourite was Mercury, the messenger. His was Poseidon; which made hardly any sense, because him and Poseidon are nothing alike. From my gatherings, Poseidon was a moody god. Sora's a happy-go-lucky guy. Whatever.

Sora had one girlfriend and quite a few boyfriends. He was very sexually outgoing, yet, his virginity still remained. Yes, he's gay, if not bisexual, just like me. We had a coming-out party together with our parents, Kairi, and Namine.

But then he was gone.

He ran away with some guy named Riku Mikael. Sora met him when we vacationed to Destiny Islands, on a tour throughout the amazing sites of the island. Riku was a stage-crew member for Hollow Bastion's famous , so we all assumed that it was going to be the first and last time they'd see each other, even if they did talk over the phone every night. Later, we found out it was Sora's idea to go to Hollow Bastion and be together.

He left on out 'coming-out' day (our family considered it a holiday) and he left something outside my door that I almost missed that morning. The note he left for my parents read, in his neat script;

'Mom and Dad,
I don't think you're going to be happy with me, but I love Riku, and I want to stay with him. Maybe even forever. I love you all a lot, and don't forget to write!
Sora'

He left an address (not a home address, mind you. he didn't want to be found, so he left a P.O box address.), and my mother was bawling her eyes out, crying something that related to Sora going to Destiny University, with my father right behind her, trying to calm her down. It wasn't like they didn't know where or why, they were just depressed about the whole idea. I was creeping back to my room when I saw a box with a paopu patterned wrapping paper in the corner of my eye. I picked it up and carried it back to my room. It wasn't in a package, that much I could say. It was pretty much shaped like a book. I sat on my bed, examining the object to see if I could guess what it was before I opened it. By the time I gave in, I was convinced it was probably one of Sora's favorite books that he hardly let anyone touch, but I was just a tad bit off. Yeah, it was a book-type item, but it wasn't one of Sora's favorites. Hell, it wasn't even Sora's before he left! It was a diary. Or journal, if you prefer using the more "masculine" word. It wasn't girly, but it could have been something a chick would use. It really fit Sora and I. It was based on Greek mythology. On every page, there was a fact about a god. its uses were just any normal, every day journal. Write whatever you want, right? Right.

I could feel the sting at my eyes, and the moisture increase. My throat started to lock up, and my determination not to cry was falling fast. Stray tears started to roll down my cheeks, and I hardly knew why. But two things were for sure; I was happy that he didn't forget about me, but I was sure as hell mad at him for leaving me. That probably sounded like we were together, but we were like siamese twins-- almost, apparently.

That day was the day my life started to go downhill. Fast.

Author's corner;

Okay, I think I like it this time. To my old readers-- Could you find the edits, adds, and rewrites? To my new readers-- Did it capture your attention? I hope so. I hope it described the relationship between Sora and Roxas like I wanted it to... For the most part, it did.
Not to sound desperate here, but will you please review for me? Hearing my reader's positive comments make me feel like writing more. But refrain from flaming me. If you don't like yaoi, you can please keep that to yourself, because it might get a bit graphic later. (i'm not making promises.) Constructive criticism helps a lot too, so don't worry about hurting my feelings. Unless it's like, "YER DOIN' IT WRONG, IT SUCKS BECAUSE YOU SUCK AT WRITING!!11!!one!!2" Please no.

Okay bye. Remember to revieww.
