Cloud sighed as Roxas shouted at him.
"You know, the hospital probably gave you the wrong baby! You're a selfish idiot, father! Why are you doing this to me, to mom?"
Cloud ran a hand through his hair as Roxas ranted. He had just told him that he and his mother, Larxene, were getting a divorce. When Roxas got like this, it reminded him of Larxene's temper. He was more like his mother in that area than him. Though it usually seemed Roxas had gotten the worst of both their traits.
Cloud's eyes were bloodshot from similar fights that he had endured with Larxene the past week. Sometimes he wondered why he had married that women when it seemed they didn't like each other at all. He often wondered what had possessed him to get together with her in the first place. Tifa would have been a better person to marry. The girl was a lot calmer and definitely more even tempered than Larxene and she was really sweet to Cloud whenever he went to her bar to escape from Larxene.
He and the martial artist had dated for several months but they had broken up over a fight of Cloud not seeming to be as involved as he should be in their relationship. He had been upset for a while but Yuffie hadn't liked it and had set about cheering Cloud up. Of course, it ended up only pissing the blond off even though he had hidden it behind his usual calm exterior. Still, her antics had taken his mind off the breakup and had gotten his mood levels back to normal.
It still stung when he thought of it but it didn't really matter.
Right now though, he wanted Roxas to calm down. Riku and Sora, the couple voted most likely to last in high school, were coming over to help Cloud and Roxas move out. Aerith and Zack were supposed to come over too, but not till later.
Cloud wanted the divorce as clean as possible and to ensure that, he had agreed to Larxene's demand of keeping the house.
Plus, there was the restraining order to consider.
Suddenly the doorbell rang, interrupting Roxas in the middle of his rant of why exactly Cloud was a son of a bitch. Cloud was tempted to say something about Roxas's attitude but shook it off and headed down the hall, intending to answer the door.
Cloud was thankful when he opened the door to discover Riku and Sora but didn't show it on his face. Sora grinned and Riku look sullen, huffing and crossing his arms when Sora laughed and sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.
"Sorry we're late."
"Yeah, thanks for interrupting our activities," Riku said hotly, emphasizing the activities part, and grunting when Sora elbowed him in the side.
"Ignore him," Sora glared at Riku as he continued, "he's just sore that he didn't get any last night."
Cloud rolled his eyes but stepped aside to allow Riku and Sora in.
"God DAMN YOU!" Roxas's yell from the kitchen could be heard from the door.
Sora's eyes widened and Riku sneered.
"It's amazing you aren't related."
While Sora turned his attention to Riku to glare at him, Cloud had to agree. It really was amazing Roxas and Sora weren't related considering they shared the same structure to a T. As it was, Roxas was throwing a fit in the kitchen.
They needed to be out of this house before Larxene got home or she was calling the police. Cloud knew her enough to know she'd go through with her threat if she caught them on her property. He rather not go through that experience again, though last time had been Yuffie and her penchant for thievery's fault.
Riku narrowed his eyes and before Cloud could notice, too lost in his thoughts, Riku was heading for the kitchen with a determined look on his face. The next thing Cloud knew, Sora was yelping, bringing him out of his thoughts, and running for the kitchen. As soon as Cloud noticed, he headed for the source of Sora's sprint.
When they both reached the kitchen, neck and neck, they were surprised to see Riku holding an unconscious Roxas, Sora more so than Cloud.
