Author's note: Okay I decided to join the masses and write a Christmas story :) I hope it is good so far please stay with me :)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything sadly :(
"Christmas has to be one of the craziest times of the year." Roxas thought as he trailed round the over decorated shopping mall with his twin Sora and Riku. The two boys were holding hands and Sora was talking animatedly while Riku carried bags full of Christmas presents. Roxas, a couple of steps behind the happy pair, could see the odd looks they were getting. Roxas just glared at anyone who looked for longer than normal and followed the oblivious duo.
"OH MY GOD!!" Sora suddenly shouted. He whirled around, frowned when he didn't immediately spot his twin, and then grabbed Roxas by the shoulders.
"It's the shop! Take Riku and run! I'll meet you at Costa!" Sora was being a little overdramatic, Roxas thought. He was only going to get Riku a present from his favourite shop. Only, of course, Riku couldn't be there.
"Sora babe, what're you doing?" Riku asked juggling some of the bags so he could slip his arm around Sora's slender waist. Sora thought up a lie and he thought it up quick.
"I wanna get Roxy a present but can't do it with him there," he whispered in Riku's ear. "Will you go wait in Costa's with him for me?"
Riku smiled.
"Sure." He kissed Sora softly, chuckling at his blush, and then walked off towards the coffee shop with Roxas.
Sora waited until he was sure they were out of sight then high-tailed it into the shop, dragging his wallet out of his pocket to check his money supply.
Roxas breathed in the warm coffee smell of Costa's. He was glad to be out of the freezing cold. He and Riku found a quiet area with a brown leather loveseat and two armchairs. A small coffee table was between them.
Riku sighed heavily as he dropped the bags beside the table then collapsed onto the loveseat. Roxas pulled out his wallet.
"D'you want anything Riku?" he asked the silverette.
Riku opened his eyes and sat up.
"Oh hey, I'll pay!" Riku said.
"No you got lunch, its fine."
"Oh yeah, okay just coffee'll do me, thanks." Riku said leaning back on the sofa.
Roxas went up and ordered Riku's coffee and a caramel cappuccino for himself. He carried them back to their corner and sat down.
Riku took the mug in his hands, relishing the warmth. Roxas blew on the top of his before taking a cautionary sip. It was perfect. He leaned back in his chair, cradling the hot mug in his frozen hands.
"So, all set for the big Christmas party?" Riku asked.
Roxas blew a lock of his sunshine blonde hair out of his eyes.
"Nearly, I think Cloud's going crazy! He's getting so flustered."
Riku laughed at the thought of Cloud going crazy.
"Is everybody gonna be here this year?" he asked.
"Yeah, everybody plus Marly's boyfriend." Roxas said taking a sip of his cappuccino.
"Oh yeah of course, how on earth did I forget Luxord?" Riku said thinking about the blonde British gambler who was suave enough to treat Marluxia as the princess he was.
They were silent for a while. Not the awkward kind of silence that stretches on endlessly as you try desperately to think of something to say. But the kind of silence that exists between people who have been friends since as far back as they can remember.
They drank their coffees slowly but were still finished before Sora got back.
"How much longer d'you think he'll be?" Riku asked.
"Who knows? With Sora it could be five minutes to five hours! Depends on what distracts him." Roxas answered.
It was ten minutes later just when they were agreeing to go look for the hyperactive brunette, when said brunette walked through the door with two bags hanging from his arm. He spotted them and hurried over.
"Hey guys sorry I took so long! But I couldn't decide!" he said dropping the bags with the others. Riku snaked out an arm and pulled Sora down onto his lap. Sora blushed but smiled at his boyfriend.
"Missed you." Riku whispered seductively in his ear before capturing his lips in a warm, coffee tasting, kiss.
"Ooookay, Sora what d'you wanna drink?" Roxas said leaping up.
They broke apart and Sora, whose face was by now bright red, said,
"Erm a hot chocolate please. With cream and lil' marshmallows!"
Roxas nodded and went up to join the queue.
"What did I do?" Sora asked Riku, sliding of his lap to sit on the loveseat. He could tell Roxas wasn't himself today. He'd been avoiding Riku and Sora together as much as possible and had always found an excuse to get away whenever they started kissing.
"Ah he'll be fine when he starts kissing Axel." Riku shrugged putting one arm around Sora's waist and pulling him close.
"Axel?" Sora said looking up into Riku's aquamarine eyes in puzzlement.
"Yeah they…haven't you noticed?" Riku looked at Sora incredulously.
"Noticed what? Tell me!"
"Ahh well…erm…they never really leave each other alone and Axel can't really keep his hands off of Rox…" Riku was finding it hard to explain without telling Sora outright.
"And so? They were like that all the time when we were little!" Sora didn't get it. Riku rolled his eyes.
"Okay we think Roxas and Axel are in love with each other, but they won't admit it and, in Rox's case, we don't think he's realised it. So seeing us two together is making him question his feelings."
Sora's eyes widened.
"Oh I get it now! So that's why Nam and Kai and Dem kept dropping those hints!"
Riku chuckled at how slow his boyfriend was and kissed the top of his head.
"Didn't you notice? He is your twin after all!"
"Well I kinda had a feeling that he felt something towards Axel I just… never thought about what it was!"
By this time Roxas had paid for Sora's drink and was coming back.
"Yay Roxy! Thank you!" Sora squealed when Roxas placed the hot chocolate on the table. It was in a tall glass with cream on top and three big marshmallows on the saucer.
Sora carefully lifted the glass and took a sip. He got cream on his nose. Riku chuckled and licked the sweet treat from Sora's nose. Roxas frowned.
