Chapter 1: Running

All he could do was run; run from those who knew, run from his own thoughts, run from the pounding in his chest, run from the butterflies in his stomach.

He was flustered partially from running but mostly from the embarrassment he felt now. Did they all really see him there? His mind raced against his wish to keep it blank.

He tried hard to think of anything, everything, other then what had just taken place. He didn't want to forget though.

That soft red hair, long and spiked back, the wind teasing it gently. Those bright green eyes with a flash of fire in them. A fire that burned only for the running boy. Milky skin with adorable black triangles decorating his cheeks.

The boy yelled out in the empty town.

He finally stopped, exhausted to the brink of collapse. His clear blue eyes fell upon a dark, frightening hole in the wall: Naminés house. Slowly, the boy climbed through; surely his best friend would take pity on him.

In the dim, dank woods that led up to the girls house nothing stood out but the entrance and the exit, a far distance apart from each other. The small amount of light that leaked into this black world seemed to be trapped in the boys golden hair and shinning aqua eyes.

He emerged from the cold place to be greeted by a giant, very old, rot-iron gate that stood gaping open in welcome.

The huge wooden door pulled open and a small blond girl moved from behind it.

"Roxas? What is wrong?" she asked, instantly noticing the flush in the boys face and his hard breaths. Roxas moved inside quickly, sitting on the wooden floor instantly. Naminé closed the door and turned to her quiet friend with her hands on her hips, "Okay Roxas, tell me what is going on." The words echoed in the run down, empty mansion where Nominé resided.

"Nam'…" Roxas began, "I…" he sighed, "I don't want to bring you into it… but… I didn't mean to…" Nominé stooped down, placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Roxas, what is going on, tell me." Naminé insisted on knowing what was bothering her friend, he knew she wouldn't stop until she put a smile on his face so he gave in.

"Nam' I let The Kings Men down-" he started when Naminé broke his sentence, "Roxas!" she moaned, annoyed, "I told you being involved with a gang would just bring you down." She sighed and looked at over to his sad eyes, "Okay" she apologized, "continue."

Roxas nodded, "I know… but… I didn't mean for them to see." He slammed his fist on the ground, angry without a cause known to the girl. Looking up to his friend he mumbled the reason: "They saw me with him, the one from The Nobodies. I didn't know he would be there, I was on patrol, he came up without saying anything and pushed me against the wall." Naminé gasped lightly. Roxas had talked about this guy before: the man was always picking on him to fight, always stalking around in Roxas' 'zones'. She had felt uneasy about the tall redhead, as Roxas had described him, yet, she could sense that her friend didn't feel the same way. He continued, "I pushed him back, ready to protect my zone, and he pushed me and held me against the wall again…" he paused, "Then he kissed me." he added a few seconds later.

Naminé's eyes widened slightly, "What did you do?" she asked. She had known of her best friends sexual preferences already and wondered if, when he spoke of this redhead, he had feelings for him.

Roxas shook his head, "I kissed him back." He replied with a light blush over his cheeks.

Naminé smiled softly.

But Roxas could not smile yet. "I put my arms around him, I completely forgot what was around me, where I was, and then I heard them."

"Who? The Kings Men?"

Roxas nodded, "Sora, Riku, Hayner, Pence, even Olette and Kairi where there!" the distraught boy let his head drop into his hands, angry that he let it happen.

Naminé consoled her dear friend, "Come on Roxas, Sora is your cousin, I am sure he will understand."

Roxas shook his head no, "Nam', you're the only one who knows about me, how am I going to explain to them why I was kissing a guy, let alone a guy from The Nobodies?"

The girl sighed, "Roxas, Sora can be a lot more forgiving than you are giving him credit." She sat on the floor, crossing her legs and leaning against her best friend. "Talk to him. He will understand more than you think."

Roxas looked over to the small blonde, she was smiling sweetly, as usual, "Do you think so?" he asked in a hushed tone. Naminé nodded, "You do not know everything about Sora, he has his secrets too." She poked Roxas in the side playfully, finally getting him to smile lightly. He tickled her back and laughed, "Guess what?" he teased, grinning, Naminé smiled and laughed, "What?" The boy beamed, his milky cheeks turning pink, "His name is Axel." Naminé giggled, "Oh Axel; Axel!" she laughed teasing her friend. Roxas laughed, "Oh Axel." he teased himself, grasping his hands to his heart.

The two stood and Roxas hugged Naminé tightly, "Thank you." he said, holding her close. She giggled, "You are welcome, Roxie." He grinned and waved as the heavy wooden door shut behind him, he was on his way to talk to Sora first. Hopefully, if Sora understood and forgave him, he could be there for Roxas when he had to explain to the others what had happened.

And that was chapter 1!!

Please read on and review for me!!

Thank you!
