hello! thanks for checking out 'College Life' on Kingdom Hearts. a comedy/drama, but don't think it's one of those ridiculous stories with no plot or point. even though it's a comedy, there's a story still.

this is new to me since i'm not that good at writing comedy, and the whole mix with drama is just gonna be weird, right?!. also, i know most of the characters are too young to be in college, but you can guess where i'm going with this right?

basically, it's sora, riku, kairi, roxas, namine all young adults in college. plus some of your favorite final fantasy and organization characters. (but not all of them)

also, the whole pairings or triangles in the summary aren't the only pairings/triangles you'll see in this story

So, here's a chart to help out the OOC background.

Professors: Ansem the Wise (headmaster), Cid, Xaldin(because i think he's cool) , Merlin

Seniors: Cloud, Tifa, Axel

Juniors: Yuffie, Squall,

Sophmores: Riku, Roxas (because he's cooler than sora!)

Freshmen: Sora, Kairi, Namine

i'm pretty sure more characters will come...we'll see...

Inspiration (and mostly based on): Honey and Clover

Disclaimer: Throughout this entire story, i do not own Kingdom Hearts or any Final Fantasy


Chapter 1: Witness

The room was small, or did it felt small because there was so many people. Riku, Yuffie, Squall, and Kairi sat around the table playing cards. It was quiet, everyone was eyeing each other. They were waiting for Squall to reveal his hand like everyone else did. He smirked.

"Looks like I win." He said, revealing a perfect hand.

"What!?"

"Aww!!"

"You're cheating!"

"Pay up!" He demanded.

"But I'm broke." Yuffie moan. "I paid my last 10 gil for these cards."

"Why don't you get a job?" Riku said, while handing Squall his last money.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is for me?!"

"Oh yeah I forgot. You're too wishy-washy to find one. You being a ninja and all. Can't stay in one spot, huh?"

Yuffie smacked Riku's head at the same time when a loud knock on the door came.

"Did I hit that hard?" Yuffie said, surprised at her own power. Riku was down on the floor.

"It must be Sora and Roxas." Kairi said, walking to open the door. "HiiiieeeyyyAAHHHH!!"

It was snowing outside with strong winds. Sora and Roxas came back walking from the 2-mile-away-nearest convenient store to buy food. Only they came back with their backs hunched from the cold, their scarves tightly wrapped around their face, and their eyes dark like zombies.

"We...brought...food." Sora and Roxas moaned.

"Kairi, what's wrong?" Squall asked and came to see. "Wow, what happened? You guys look like you'll fail college."

"I think that's a fact." Kairi giggled. Yuffie suddenly pounced on the plastic bags.

"Food!!"

"No, Yuffie! Save some for us." Sora yelled, fighting her off. "Sit!"

"I'm not a dog!"

They spread the food on the table. Sodas, instant noodles, small cakes, chips, and mostly junk food. Squall was going through the bags as if he was still looking for more.

"This is it? No meat?" He asked. Roxas and Sora collapse in unison on the floor with Riku. Sora was the only one that spoke.

"We search everywhere for meat, ok! We walked for more that 10 miles, but we didn't had enough money. And most of them were sold out." Sora said. Riku suddenly notice the dilemma.

"What? You mean there's no meat?!" He said, looking through the bags rapidly.

"Afraid so." Squall said, defeated.

"Meat..." Roxas managed to mumble.

"No meat."

"Meat!"

"I miss meat..."

Kairi and Yuffie sat down, already eating the food.

"Why do boys want meat all the time?" Kairi asked, watching the guys moan together.

"They can't adapt like us, Kairi."

This is the life at Hollow Bastion College; HBC for short. It's not one of the best colleges, but many applied for four years so they can easily transfer to KHU, or Kingdom Hearts University. The apartments are small, and were only meant for two people. But in Riku and Roxas room, they managed to fit comfortably. It was winter, and the new freshmen; Sora and Kairi; became fast friends with the older students.

There was another knock on the door.

"Who's that?" Yuffie said, still slurping her noodles. Kairi went to open the door.

"Hi!" Tifa said. She easily walked in also holding a plastic bag.

"Hey, Tifa." Kairi said politely. The guys were still sulking to even noticed Tifa walking in.

"I figure you guys would be hungry so I bought some meat and save them for you. I also bought some honey and bread. Want some?"

But the boys only looked up at one word, like a herd of deer lifting their heads when they heard a noise.

"Meat?" They asked together.

Suddenly, Roxas and Sora were at Tifa's feet.

"Tifa!! You brought meat!!"

"We love you, Tifa."

"Seniors are so generous...we are not worthy!!"

"You're a lifesaver!" Riku said. Squall already took the bag and pulled out stacks of sausages, bacon, and large sized beef jerky. Before the girls could stop them, they were already devouring the meat.

"No, you guys. You have to cook them!" Kairi said, watching Sora chow down raw bacon.

"I don't care, it's still meat!"

"Boys." Tifa, Yuffie, and Kairi said, rolling their eyes.

Then there was another knock.

"Now who is it?" Kairi said, but this time Tifa opened the door.

"WAH!" She yelled, and defensively kicked the guy in the face.

"Tifa, why'd you do that?" Kairi said, coming to see who it was.

There was Axel on the floor, looking dead.

"He was just standing there, glaring, like he was about to kill me. So I did what I thought was best." She said, poking Axel with her foot.

"Looks like he wanted to join." Kairi said, noticing the same dark eyes like Sora and Roxas had. "Where had he been anyways?"

"You know Axel. He's always gone without telling and coming back looking exhausted." Tifa said, stepping over him. "I have to go. Sorry."

"Wait! What do we do with him?" Kairi asked, but Tifa was gone.

"Who is it, Kairi?" Sora asked.

"It's Axel."

"Axel?" Squall said and came to see him on the floor, unconsious. He dragged Axel in the room as everyone stopped eating and stared.

"So he came back." Yuffie said, looking through his pockets. "And with a bag full of money.

She pulled out a large sack of gils. Everyone stared at awe.

"Looks like he's in for his 3 days sleep." Squall said. "And tomorrow he has to go to the orientation for seniors."

"Oh, yeah. That's what's keeping him held back right?" Yuffie said.

"Yup. And if he miss it again...he has to repeat senior year again." Squall looked over at Roxas and Riku. "Looks like you guys have to wake him up tomorrow.

"What?!" Riku said.

"You mean, it'll be our fault if Axel doesn't graduate this year?!" Roxas asked, looked worried.

"His life depends on you two now. Don't fail him." Squall teased.

"Whether he graduates or not is in our hands?!"

"If we don't, he'll curse us for the rest of the year!"

"I don't want Axel stalking me!!" Roxas cried.

"I thought he already was." Kairi whispered to Yuffie. They giggled.

Eating so little that boys carve their meat, work and school drains their money, friends gathering together in the dorms, stress and freedom at the same time. This is the college life...


"AGH! It's already 10:30!!" Roxas cried.

"Axel! Wake up!" Riku yelled, smacking his face. Suddenly, Axel's eyes snapped opened and sat up. "Oh!"

"Thanks for waking me up. Now...ten more minutes." He said and collapsed back on the floor.

"No!!"

"I'm calling Squall for help." Roxas said.

"Axel! Damn it! This is like waking up a dead person!" Riku complained. Suddenly, Squall was at the door.

"You came to save us?" Roxas asked desperately. Squall smirked.

"Nah, more like watching for my amusement." He said.

"Stop being a jerk and help us." Riku demanded. "We'll be late for our classes."

"Hmmm..." Squall pulled out an instant picture camera and took a picture. "This should at least prove that you tried to wake him up." He said and handed the picture to Roxas.

"I guess..."

"And maybe reduce his curse by 15 percent." Squall added.

"What?!" Riku and Roxas cried.

"Well, good luck." He said, and left.

"Come on Riku, there's no point." Roxas said, defeated.

"Fine...sorry Axel. Don't blame us if you can't graduate this year."

"Not graduate?! Not in my life!!" Axel yelled, stood up and pushed Riku and Roxas aside, zooming out the door.


Squall was already on his way to school when he heard something behind him. Axel was running at top speed.

"Huh?" He said, but a group of girls blocked Axel. Squall couldn't help but watch.

"Axel! Where did you put our mini building structure."

"You didn't burn it, did you?!" They yelled at him.

"It wasn't me." Axel said, defending himself. Squall shook his head and walked away. But he heard Axel's loud voice.

"Squall took it!"

"What!?"

"Squall!!" The angry girls circled around him.

"Damn you, Axel!!" He yelled as Axel zoomed away.


"Damn it. And I thought he was over with using me. I thought he would use Roxas as his new target." Squall grumbled in the lodge.

"What!? I was just a sacrifice offering?!" Roxas yelled.

Squall, Roxas, Riku, Kairi, Yuffie, and Sora were in Professor's Cid's lodge eating lunch.

"Well, that's Axel for you." Cid said. "I haven't seen you yell like that in a long time, Squall."

Tifa walked in the room.

"Hey Professor, the Headmaster said a visitor is here to see you." She said.

"Aw. Must be the new transfer student." Cid said, and left the room.

"A transfer student." Roxas looked up, curious.

"Yeah. I meet her. She's the headmaster's niece." Tifa said.

"Whoa."

"What is she majoring in?" Kairi asked.

"I think art, but I forgot what field."

"Crap! Sora, we still need to finish that sword demonstration for Professor Xaldin." Riku said, remembering.

"Crap, you're right. See ya, you guys." And they both left the room.

"Hey Tifa, Riku brought the leftover beef jerk you bought. Want some?" Kairi asked politely.

"I'm in a hurry too. I need to find Cloud."

"Why?" Squall asked, sounding a bit bored.

"He's suppose to help out with the engineering project he signed up for. And he's ditching because of his work." Tifa complained.

"Well, at least he has a job." He said sarcastically.

"Squall! Don't be mean." Yuffie said. "I'll help you find him, Tifa."

"You're wasting your time." Squall said. "He's probably working with that lady."

"That's enough-"

"It's okay, Yuffie." Tifa said, pulling a smile and left the room with Yuffie.

"Who is Cloud working for?" Kairi asked Squall, curious. Roxas look up from his bowl of noodles.

"A woman in a pink dress and green eyes." Squall said. "I don't know her much either."

Suddenly, Cid came storming in the room.

"Hey, kiddos. Meet Merlin's new student in the arts of magic." He said and stepped aside for the new girl to walk in.

"Hi there." Squall said politely, holding out his hand. Cid was right up at Squall's face and grasp his hand tightly.

"Her name is Namine. She's the headmaster's niece and just happens to be my second cousin. So don't be too harsh on the new student. I've known her for so long, I'm like a father. So I wouldn't hesitate to hold you back like Axel." He said, smiling and giving a threat.

"You shouldn't interrupt when someone is trying to introduce themselves." Squall smiled back, but with the same acid voice.

"Ummm...here. You want some beek jerky with me?" Roxas came out of no where and approached her.

She was thin and pale in her white dress. She looked small and fragile. Her large eyes looked at the bag of beef jerky to Roxas. Kairi noticed Roxas was slightly red on the cheeks.

"Thank you." Namine said in a small voice. And everyone sat around the table sharing the food. Cid began to boast.

"She transferred from Castle Oblivion Institute. Her art magic was exceeding well, and the headmaster Ansem thought it was best for her to train here with Professor Merlin. Her art is amazing, you should show them sometime, Namine."

"Hey, Roxas aren't you in..." Kairi was about to ask, but as she looked at him, he was staring at Namine. Kairi blushed too.

'Wow, I've just witness someone falling in love. This is embarrasing. And no one seems to notice.' Kairi thought.

Then, Axel came marching in the room, looking happy.

"I've made it! I went to the orientation!" Axel said, spinning happily and creating small fireworks out of his hands.

"Hey, I don't want anything to catch on fire, you crazy pyro!" Cid yell. But Axel already stop and was staring at the Namine. She looked scared, but she stared back because his little firework display seemed to amaze her.

It looks like she was shying away while Axel was towering over her, glaring as if he was examining her. Suddenly, Axel dashed out of the room.

"What was that all about?" Squall said, and then Cloud came walking in the room.

"Cid, I brought back the camera. Thanks for letting me borrrow it." He said.

"Oh, no prob' Cloud. And you know that Tifa is looking for you." Cid said, being mature around him. Everyone noticed the smallest frown on his eyebrows.

"Oh. Well, I was-" But before he could continue, he was pushed aside and Axel came with plastic wings and attached them to Namine.

"Yes!" He yelled and threw fake snow at Namine. She sneezed violently. "Snow Fairy!!"

He grabbed the camera from Cloud's hand and took picture after picture, laughing manically. She was rigged scared as Axel circled around and blinding her with the camera's flash.

"Axel, stop!"

"Stop harassing her!"

"Namine!"

"Axel cut it out."

But everyone just watched in horror as Axel laughed like an evil mad man and Namine frozen in her place like an ice statue. Cloud was too shocked to even say anything, as if he wished he didn't came into the room.

If fact, someone else also fell in love in the room. Just in an awkward way of expression. And no one even noticed...


okay i admit. this seems just like Honey and Clover. but tell me what you think
