Its was the summer, the time what you can do whatever you want. But sadly sora didn't what to do anything but find something. And that was love. As cheesy as it sounds he always wanted to fall in love with someone, like in the fairy tales.
He was walking with his best friend riku, down the sidewalk thinking of what to do for summer.
"Any ideas?" sora wondered.
"Nope nothing at all" he let out a sign.
Most of their friends have left Destiny Island for the summer. Kairi went to her hometown in Radiant Garden to visit her grandparents. Wakka and tidus both left to a blitzball camp to work on their skills. Namine decided to visit her cousin xion. Selphie just wanted to get out of Destiny Island for the hell of it and go somewhere else for a change.
"Can't believe everyone left" sora exclaimed annoyed. Without the others it would get boring since they all hang out together in a way.
"Not everyone. Axel is still here" riku said correcting him.
The brunette stared at riku with the expression that read 'are you serious!', it's not that sora didn't like axel, he's cool and funny but he tends to go over board on ideas and loves to tease and torture sora just for fun. He almost burn him by proving he can do a fire trick! Which failed!.
"Why of all people! Axel!"
"Calm down sora. It's not like he'll do any harm besides he must have things to do."
"That's where your wrong riku! He has nothing to do so he will find me and pull more pranks on me than ever! And probably for the whole summer." he said as a matter of fact and paranoid.
Riku rolled his aqua eyes. And continue walking, with sora behind him suspicious that axel might be around.
The other teen signs, "sora if it makes you feel better, I'll guard you from him."
"Really! You will!?" he said happily.
"Yes now quit acting silly and lets g-" he couldn't finish due to the brunette tackling him and thanking him happily.
"Your the best RIKU!"
He let out a laugh before replying " Yeah I know"
They both were heading to sora's house so they can play video games like they use to. It got quiet since neither weren't talking but sora broke the silence with a question.
"Hey riku. Have you ever been in love?" he ask innocently with a hint of embarrassment.
Riku's eyes widen in surprise, the question caught him off guard. "What?"
"You heard me!" the brunette was already embarrassed saying it, he didn't want to say it twice.
He scratch behind his neck awkwardly, "Yes and no."
"What that's not even possible?" sora said confused.
This was getting embarrassing for riku, he never like talking about this stuff and with sora it's more ironic really.
"I have been in love with someone but that person is out of my reach, so I try to brush off my feelings since nothing will come out of it. And I won't take rejection very well." he explained with a tone of sadness.
Sora didn't want to pry who it was, riku would have told him if he wanted the brunette to know. He smiled to the older teen, "don't give up riku, keep trying. That person may love you back, and if not I'll help you find someone you truly deserved" he grabbed riku by the neck sounding determined.
Riku couldn't help but laugh. "Coming from you it sounds weird!"
They both were laughing. Although sora did have curiosity who riku liked?
"Well at least you love someone! I want to fall in love too, but I guess I have yet to meet that someone" sora said signing.
Riku narrowed his aqua eyes, he was about to speak when they heard some loud noises and people saying 'get him'.
Both stopped walking when they saw the main bully seifer fighting someone. A blonde boy neither knew who he was.
"Come on riku we gotta help" Riku agreed and both took off to stop seifer.
As they came a closer look, it was two against one. Seifer had his own little gang. The blonde looked like he got a few punches on his face. That wasn't fair.
Sora and riku both got in front of the blonde to protect him. Making seifer angry.
"Out of my way! Unless you want a beating" he said pissed.
"Two against one that's not fair seifer" sora shouted.
"So what this kid was asking for it, NO GET OUT OF MY WAY" he was getting closer.
Riku chuckled, "did you forget what happened last time? Or should I refresh your memory" he popped his knuckles to prove a point.
Seifer gulped he remember the last time he fought with riku, he ended up with a few broken ribs and a black eye. So he never got close to him again.
He tsk then left with his gang saying its worthless to waste their time on these losers.
Sora went to the blonde to see if he was alright.
"Are you okay?" he said with concern.
The blonde was looking on the ground, almost as if ashamed.
"yeah I'm fine" he muttered.
Riku didn't bother helping since sora is better at doing those kind of things.
"What's your name? I'm SORA." he said happily.
Finally the blonde looked up directly looking into sora's blue eyes. "I'm Roxas" he replied smiling as well.
Sora was speechless this guy was so beautiful. He was observing him, his eyes were also blue except they were darker.
Riku noticed sora was staring at roxas which irritated him. He pushed him aside and was being a little rude to roxas.
"Where are you from?" he questioned which sounding rude.
Roxas's smile quickly faded and had an anger looked.
"And why would I tell you?"
The other teen's eyebrow twitch in anger too.
This blonde has a cocky attitude. Good thing sora noticed the tension and talked with roxas.
"So where are you from roxas?" he wondered curiously.
"I'm from Traverse Town and only here for summer" he answered to sora which pissed off riku.
Their summer just got interesting with the newcomer roxas.
