Rin: YAY! My second story! I wanted a change but don't worry I'm still working on my other story, Love for an angel. This is like LFAA because it has too main problems going on. And if you didn't get them in my other story, well then, pay attention.

Summery: Sora's father kicked him out to live with his mother in Traverse Town. There he befriends the hottest kid in the school because they're parents of a teddy bear in Health class. But what he soon discovers that Riku has some dark secrets that include why he's so attracted to Sora's neck.

Pairings: Riku/Sora, Leon/Cloud, Tidus/Selphie and possibly others.

This is romance and humor, even though I don't think its all that funny. It may also include angst in some later parts but maybe not. It's also supernatural.

There are 10 things wrong with my life:

I have spent my entire life in an all boys' school.

I have never seen a live teenage girl. Not the ones in magazines or on TV. And family doesn't count either My father thinks all the girls would want me and he's trying to keep me 'safe'. Pfft as if they would ever want me. And which brings us to point number 3…

I am gay.

I can't tell my dad because when my brother (who is also gay) told him ten years ago… Well, let's just say I haven't seen him since.

I can't tell anyone. Because everyone at my school makes fun of gays and the fact that my peers aren't gay. Believe me, I would know. I have a 'gay sense'. I can tell if someone is gay or not. It didn't work once when I didn't know that, that eighteen-year-old was gay until he grabbed my ass. But it did work when I had a feeling about that skinny loner kid who had no friends whatsoever and I was proven right when I heard him masturbating in the bathroom late at night moaning, 'Akira', the name of one of the best looking boys in the school. I was mentally scared that night. I had nightmares for weeks and I couldn't look at the kid for the longest time without yelling, "Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts!"

I have never met my mom. My dad left her went I was born and brought me with him.

My dad may be one of the richest men on the planet, yet I didn't have a 16th birthday party or a brand new car. Because my birthday/car fund was spend on his wedding and honeymoon with a witch.

I hate my stepmother. Not only is she after my father's money, looks, and sex, she also forces me to do everything. And when I mean everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Who was the one who wrote all the wedding invitations? Me. Who had to call all the florists, relatives, dress shops, bakery, churches, and hotels? ME.

Their vacation is going to last a few months then afterwards they're buying a bigger island off of Destiny Islands so they can live on. Alone for about a year or two so they can have kids and all that crap. So naturally as newly weds they want to be alone so I'm getting kicked out.

To my mother's house in Traverse Town. Home of the Endless Night.

I sat in Destiny Island's busy airport as I fiddled with the zipper on my backpack. I thought of the year that awaits me as I listened closely for my flight to Traverse Town.

I got to spend an entire year with my mother whom I have never met. I lived with my father and Raven (my stepmother) in the Islands. Where it's sunny all year round and now I'm moving to a place where the sun hides itself day after day after day. I'm going to turn pale without my beloved sunlight.

My father wants me out so he and Raven can have their multiple months' honeymoon and raise a family in peace a.k.a. without me.

My dad came up behind me handing me my Subway hoagie. I gave him a cold shoulder grabbing the sub out his hand.

He sighed and sat next to me, "Sora… Don't act like this. Your mother's nice-she's not gonna bite you- and Traverse Town is a wonderful place."

I snorted. "If she's so nice and the place is so wonderful than why did you move out?" He froze, I could see in his eyes I stumped him. I continued. "And Traverse Town is so dark! Don't they get sunlight ever?"

He sighed again. "Just be on your best behavior and if you really can't take it anymore, I'll come and get you."

"I really can't take it. Take me home."

He shot me a look. I shivered. He has the scariest looks; I didn't get that from him. "In four months if you feel the need to escape then call. I want you to at least stay for a little bit; get to know the town, meet some new people and hang out with your mother. It'll make her happy. Raven and I want some alone time to settle in and we can't be worrying about you too."

The loudspeaker came on. "Gate 5 Traverse Town ready for boarding. Gate 5 Traverse Town now ready for boarding."

We both stood up from our seats. He started to grab on of my bags and I took it from him quickly. " I don't need any help. You've done enough already."

I began to walk to the gate when I tripped over my bag. My dad laughed at my clumsiness. Wasn't he used to that already?

I blushed and pouted finally giving in. "Here." I pushed one of the heaviest bags toward him. "You can help."

My dad picked it up easily and carried in toward the baggage carrier. (A.N- I know you're not supposed to have your luggage when you're just about to go on a plane but this airport is different.) I followed still struggling with my luggage and tripped again.

After much embarrassment I finally got onto the plane and my bags safely made it on too. I sighed contentedly. I reached over toward my bag full of items and pulled out my two best friends, my CD player and my favorite CD; My Chemical Romance.

I leaned back onto the chair and pushed play. Helena began to play as I looked out the window.

The plane was starting to go down the lane, it close enough to see the airport. My dad was standing by the window waving at me. I rolled by eyes and did a sarcastic wave, the kind where you wave like you're really excited but your face doesn't show it. Neither does your mind for that matter.

Soon my dad was out of view as the plane when farther down the track.

I guess it was too late now to go back.

It turned around and headed back up the lane, faster this time.

I popped a stick of Orbit gum in my mouth so my ears don't pop. I'm not sure if they'll pop-I've never when on a plane with out gum- but I wasn't going to risk it.

The plane picked up speed and slowly rose off the ground.

Diffidently can't go back.

I looked out the window again to see the airport getting smaller and smaller. I sighed and desisted to sleep. The plane ride to Traverse Town was only 7 hours.

0o0

When I woke up it was pitch black outside. I stared in disbelief. I quickly did the math in my head.

Okay, my flight was at 12 and it took 7 hours to get here but it's in a different time zone so it's really 4 o clock so why is it so dark?

I pondered about it when the pilot's voice broke through my thoughts.

"We have arrived in Traverse Town. We'll be landing in about 5 minutes. Thank you for choosing Destiny Flights. We hope you enjoy your stay."

O yeah. How could I forget? My life's coming to an end in this dark place. I distracted myself from my thoughts by staring out the window- which didn't exactly work every well considering you couldn't see anything.

I stared into darkness for 5 minutes stopping when I felt the airplane's wheels against the ground. I quickly shoved all my CD's and the player into my bag. The announcer came back on.

"We have arrived in Traverse Town. You can now leave. Thank you and enjoy your stay."

I stood up and grabbed my backpack and walked down the isle quickly before it got too crowded. One of the flight attendance's stood in next to the door. She smiled politely

"Thank you and enjoy your stay."

I nodded and behind her back I mumbled. "Yeah right. You try staying with a clue less mother in a dark depressing town."

When I was out into the airport I looked for my mom but it was easy to see an excited clone of myself standing there waving her arms. Yes she looks exactly like me, brown spiky hair that defies gravity and wide deep blue eyes and since I was born feminine (curse whoever decided my body shape) she looks even more like me but thank god I don't have her curves.

She ran over and tackled me to the ground screaming. "YAY SORA! YOU'RE HERE YOU'RE HERE YOU'RE HERE!"

I swear she's on drugs. I pushed her off me and smiled trying to be nice. "Um… it's great to see you uh… mom."

She grinned and grabbed my bag lying on the floor and pulled on my wrist. "Come on Sor-Sor!" I blushed in embarrassment as everyone around us started in pity. She continued to pull me through the crowd talking away. "When we leave we'll go shopping and we'll buy lots of clothes and school supplies and anything else you want!" I groaned. I hate shopping unless I was by myself or with friends. A lady whom I just met was the last person I wanted to spend the day with. But she didn't stop the torture there. "Then we'll go back home and we'll eat ice cream and pizza and soda until we puke and get a high off sugar!" And she says that like it's a good thing.

We made it to the luggage drop off. She pushed me toward it. "Go get your bags. I'll be by the exit." She ran off giggling. I blushed again as everyone gave another pity look. Either they know her and they feel sorry for me or they have no clue who the hell she is but they're afraid and they feel sorry for me too. Either way I get a pity look from total strangers. What a great way to start off at my new town. Major sarcasm was used in that sentence.

After being shoved and pushed I managed to get to my bags. And that's when I first saw her. At the exit was my mother talking to some random people next to her was a brunette girl in a short yellow dress. She was just as talkative and hyper as my mother. And I thought that wasn't possible. She was the first teenage girl I have ever seen.

As soon as I was in the clearing my mother spotted me and waved her hands again. "Sor-Sor!" I groaned again. "Over here!" The girl next to her ran to me and before I could to anything she tackled me and hung her arms around me neck. I was lucky I didn't fall. "Hi Sora! I'm Selphie! I'm your next door neighbor and your mom's friend!."

No wonder they were friends; they were the same people in two separate bodies. Are all girls this hyper?

Selphie let go of my neck but pulled on my arm. "Come on Sora!" She said skipping toward my mom. "We're gonna go shopping and I'll help you get ready for school since we'll be in some of the same classes."

"Um… okay."

0o0

I can't believe I made it out of that hellhole. I was stuck in the mall for 3 fuckin' hours. Selphie and my mom must be the Energizer Bunny or something. I can't believe they can run around the mall for 3 hours straight.

I limped over to the coach in the living room of my mom's house. "Must…sleep… too…tried…" I fell down on the sofa and sighed contentedly. The Energizer Bunnies came skipping in with arm holds of bags. Selphie dropped the bags on the floor and tugged on my arm again. Can't she see that my arm's already black and blue?

"What's wrong Sor-Sor?" I flinched. Not another. "Are you tried? It's only 7!" My mom who at the time was taking out clothes from the bags chuckled. "Selphie, he's not used to our time zone. In Destiny Island it's 10 o' clock."

"Oh. Well then he's gonna need extra sugar to keep him awake!" She ran to the refrigerator and pulled out several cans of soda and 3 tubs of ice cream. "Well we don't have any pizza but this should do!" She placed the food on the coffee table in front of me.

I guess my mom and I are more alike than I thought; she seems to know my weakness. I adore rootbeer and chocolate ice cream. Which is what she got; she's trying to get me hyper, to be just like them! I couldn't resist no matter how scary it would to be if I was like them.

I reached out and grabbed a can of rootbeer and drank it in 6 seconds flat. My mother and Selphie exchanged glances and smirked. I didn't really care I wanted sugar and I wanted it now. You could tell I was like my mother in more than just looks.

2 hours later Selphie and I were jumping off the walls singing the theme song to The Buzz on Maggie.

"I'm strange and I like it! That's just the way I am! You might as well get over it; don't try to understand!"

We didn't know the rest so we continued to run around talking.

" Hey Sora!" Selphie yelled jumping on my mom's couch while I drank more rootbeer. "What's your sexuality?"

I spit my drink out and Selphie laughed. My mom would have laughed too if she wasn't passed out from all the soda she drank.

Selphie plopped down on the couch and stared at me with a look that clearly stated, 'I have a feeling your gay but I want you to tell me anyway'

I started to shake under her glare. I had to tell she probably knows anyway. "W-well, I'm um… gay…"

Selphie squealed and tackled me like she did before at the airport. "Really? That's sooooo cool!"

I thought that would be different. Thankfully it didn't turn out that way. Damn homophobes …

"Well um… I'm glad you feel that way. I guess."

Selphie looked at the clock. "Wow! It's already 9: 30 better go. We got school tomorrow! See ya Sor-Sor!" She skipped out the door.

I groaned and glared at the clock. It's too late for me to be up.

0o0

The next morning the light shone into my room. I felt the sunshine on my face. I groaned and sat up rubbing my eyes.

I walked into the kitchen where my mom was up making cookies. She grinned at me. "Morning Sora! How was last night? Sorry, I fell asleep." She gave a nervous chuckle. "Want some breakfast?" She asked holding up a plate of cookies.

"Cookies? For breakfast?" I asked taking one anyway.

"What are you? The non-cookie liker umpire from those Cookie Crisp commercials?"

I blinked. "No, it's just that, Dad's cooks never allowed cookies or anything like that for breakfast."

Mom chuckled and shook her head. "Well, I'm not like your father's cooks; I couldn't care less about your health!"

"You are truly evil, you know that?" I said glaring and reached for another cookie.

She smiled and grabbed her car keys. "Yup! Now get to school!"

"How? I have no car?" I said putting the guilt trap on my dad.

"Yes you do. I got one for you!" Mom pushed me out the door and let me to the garage. Inside was two sliver BMX convertibles. I started flabbergasted at the cars.

"You can pay for these?" I asked.

Mom looked as if she was struck in the face. "Of course. Did you think I was poor? I work too ya know. And your father sends me money once in a while as an apology gift. So I bought you a new car. And one myself as well."

"Sweet…" That's all I had to say before I jumped in the car and drove out the driveway.

0o0

"SOORRRRRRRRAAAAAA!" I stepped out of my car to see Selphie running toward me with some friends behind.

"Hey Selphie." I greeted her. Selphie's friends caught up. A girl with red hair stuck out her hand in greeting.

"Hello Sora-kun! I'm Kairi."

I shook her hand and a boy with straw blond hair gave a quick hello. "I'm Tidus."

Selphie nudged my shoulder. "He's my boyfriend, isn't he scrumptious?"

"Um…"

"Don't bother him Selphie. Leave him alone, ya?" Another red head said. He turned to me and smiled. "I'm Wakka."

Then a blonde girl shyly looked up. "Hello Sora. My name is Namine."

Another blond boy came up and grinned at me. "Hi Sora! I'm Roxas! I've been appointed your escort for today! So if you would please follow me please…" Roxas led me into the building and handed me a slip of paper. "Here's your schedule. You have all the same classes as me except for Science and Language Arts. Now down here is…"

Roxas started explaining everything. I nodded not really paying attention to his words but more to my peers. And that's when I saw him.

Roxas was about to turn a corner when he caught my eye.

Across the hall, leaning in the shadows of the hall was the hottest guy I have ever laid eyes on.

He had long sliver hair that fell on his lean shoulders. He had muscular arms and chest. He wore black trip pants and a tight black tee shirt that read, 'If you want something, go ask my ass.' He leaned against the wall with his eyes closed and his head titled down a little. He looked absolutely sexy.

No-scratch that. He's past sexy. He's smexy. As in, past sexy; better than sexy; smexy.

A raven-haired girl walked up to him and tapped him slightly on the shoulder. She was also clad in black. Only a little bit different. She wore a black mini skirt and a tight black tank top. The smexy boy opened his eyes to reveal sharp aqua eyes.

And he was staring right ad me! My eyes widened and the boy smirked at me before turning to the girl.

I blushed and looked back at Roxas who was saying something about rats. I looked back to where he was standing and he was gone.

"Hey Sora. Is something wrong?" Roxas asked me.

I turned to him again. "Um nope!"

Ding, ding, ding.

"We have to go to homeroom." Roxas said pointing to a room at the end of the hall. "Don't worry about friends. You have Selphie Tidus and me. It'll be fun!"

I looked back once again where I saw Smexy but he wasn't there.

0o0

I sat next to Roxas in homeroom. The teacher called me up to introduce myself.

"Today class, we have a new student who comes all the way from Destiny Islands. His name is Sora and I want all of you to make him feel welcomed."

The door opened and standing there was Smexy and that girl. I felt my face heat up automatically.

The teacher huffed. "Mr. Masaki and Miss. Kiseragi, I told you not to be late anymore."

Smexy flipped his sliver hair back. "Sorry Miss. Hotori. We had to disgust something."

I drooled at the sound of his voice. In my mind I was squealing like my mother. He was so damn smexy!

Miss. Hotori shook her head. "Alright but try not to be too late next time, okay?"

Smexy and his friend nodded and took their seats. Smexy walked past me and winked before taking his seat in the back. I froze in an instant. "This is Sora you two. He's the new student."

Smexy and the girl nodded before talking among themselves.

I took my seat with Roxas, Selphie and Tidus. "Hey um… who are those two?" I asked pointing to Smexy and the girl.

"That's Riku and Yuffie." Selphie said. "They're adopted siblings along with two other brothers and a sister. They're always dressed in black and almost never talk to anyone outside their family. Yet they remain the most popular kids at school. I can't tell you how many times I've seen girls and guys swoon over Riku. They all ask him out but he says no to every single one of them."

"Yeah. They're really mysterious." Tidus joined in. "No one really knows them very well. And some are afraid to talk to them."

"Why did you want to know?" Roxas asks.

"I want to know whose in my class is all." I answer.

0o0

Roxas says that for 3rd period I have Health class.

Joy.

Major sarcasm involved.

I was never a big health fan. I got a big nosebleed when we had sex ed. It was torture.

Selphie chatted the whole time on the way to class. She said that they just finished up sex ed (thank god!) and now it's time for Child Care. Or something like that.

I sat next to Selphie as the teacher quieted her class down. "Alright. Now that we know all about how life starts, we're starting how to take care if it! Da-ta!" She grabbed the cart next to her and pulled off the cover.

There were teddy bears. About 10 teddy bears in diapers sitting on the cart.

"I'm picking the pairs. Alright Selphie and Tidus are going to be paired up mostly because I'm afraid of her…"

"YAY!" She latched on to Tidus' arm. "We're going to be partners! Don't worry, Miss. Fray, I'll return your cat."

"Thank god. Then there's…"

I looked around the class to find Riku. He was there! Sitting in the back again with two other black cloaked boys was Riku. I figured the other two men were his brothers. They both had a gay radar coming from them.

"Well since we have two teddy bears left and no more girls, we'll have to pair up the four guys." Miss. Fray said after a few pairings.

Selphie nudged my arm. "Maybe you'll be partnered up with Riku, eh Sora?" She whispered. I highly doubted he would want to be with me anyway. But hey, I can still pray.

"Miss. Fray." Riku said standing up. "I would like to be partners with Sora."

"Wh-what?" I fell outta my seat. "Me?"

Riku turned and smirked at me. "Yes. You don't have a problem with that do you?"

I shook my head, too nervous to speak.

"Good." He turned to Miss. Fray. "Is that okay?"

"Certainly Riku! Then Leon you'll be paired up with Cloud. Come and get your teddy bears boys."

I've heard that name somewhere before…

I walked up with Riku to get our bear along with his two brothers, Leon and Cloud. Riku smiled at me. "Hello Sora. I'm Riku. Welcome to Traverse High."

"Hi." Hi? Hi? That's all I said. God is there something wrong with my brain?

Miss. Fray clapped her hands. "You know what? I've changed my mind. We're going to get arranged seats with your partners. Riku, you and Sora can sit in the back along with Cloud and Leon." I looked at the teacher in the eye. Her once brown eyes seemed gazed over. Like in a trance.

"Come on Sora." Riku said poking my arm. "We have to sit down."

I pulled my eyes from Miss. Fray's glazed ones and followed Riku. Before I sat down he pulled me into an embrace. Riku nuzzled his face into my neck and breathed in my scent. "Ri-Riku?" I asked completely shocked. Yet it felt really good and he was incredibly smexy.

"You smell good." He answered as he let me go. "I think we're going to become good friends." We both sat down.

Leon, who sat in front of Riku, turned around and whispered. "That wasn't a good idea Riku. You can't get too attached."

Riku rolled those beautiful eyes of his. "I know what I'm doing Leon. You don't have to baby-sit be all the time."

Cloud sat in front of me and tried to refocus my attention on him rather than the conservation between Riku and Leon. "Hi Sora. I'm Cloud."

"Hi Cloud. Are you Riku's brother?"

"Kinda. More like, live under the same roof. I lost track of my real family years ago and then I befriended Leon and his family of orphans and runaways. And then we uh… You're not homophobic are you?"

I shook my head. "Never. I'm gay myself actually."

Cloud smiled. "Good. Well, Leon and me are lovers now so I don't want to say that to a phobic's face."

I nodded my head in agreement. "I know how you feel. I went to an all boy's school and not anyone there was gay."

"Well that sucks." Riku joined in. I guess he was done talking with Leon. "Anyway, Sora this is Leon. Leon this is Sora."

"Hi." I said.

Leon stared at me with cold eyes. I gulped. He didn't look too friendly. He nodded his head and turned away.

Cloud playfully hit him on the arm. "Don't be so mean Squall!"

"I don't you not to call me that." Leon said.

"Well maybe if you were a little nicer, I would be!" Cloud pouted looking like me when I pout.

Leon shrugged. "Whatever."

"Alright class!" Miss. Fray announced after all the seating changes. "These teddy bears are specially designed to act like a real baby. It has a device in there to make it cry when it's hungry or lonely or needs to have its diaper changed. All the cries are different so after a while you'll know which is which sooner or later. You'll be given special fake foods at the end of the class to give to your bear that has a computer chip in it so when it reaches the bear's mouth, they'll know it's food. You will also need a new supply of diapers each week. They too are special and have a computer chip in them. Your bear won't stop crying until you put on one of these diapers. If you run out before the end of the week, too bad. This is a major part of your grade and unless if you don't want to pass, you better take good care of your child."

Ding, ding, ding!

"See you tomorrow class!" Miss. Fray said.

I picked up my books. "So what are we going to do?"

Riku shrugged. "We have most of our classes together so we can share and for the rest, we'll switch off. Then at home we can switch every night and then over the weekend, if you're not busy, we can hang out together."

I blushed. This morning, I thought I would never see him again and if I did he'll hate me or something. And now, he's asking what I'm doing this weekend! I hope I don't get a nosebleed. "I don't think I'm doing anything this weekend. But I'll have to check with my mom."

"Alright. You'll have to take our child next period because you have social studies and I'm off to gym."

"Wait! How did you know…"

"I'm off to work, honey!" He joked and kissed my cheek. He leaned into my neck then pulled back. "See you later." Riku said normally and left with Leon nagging him again.

I was too shocked to move. I put a hand to my cheek where he just kissed me. Selphie came bouncing over.

"Woah! How did you do that? You've only been here for like two hours and you already have the hottest guy in the school kissing your cheek! People have been trying for years to at lest talk to him! He's so cold and distant to everyone else. How did you do it?"

"I didn't know you were gay." Tidus said. "But no worries. I don't care who you like but you better be careful."

"Why?" I asked. "Because I'm gay?"

Tidus shook his head. "Not only that but the main thing is Riku's crazed out fans. They'll kill you in a second if they see you get too close to Riku. He's considered a god in this school. No one is allowed to touch him. Especially the new kid."

Rin: So… Did you like it? It's not like my other story but this as been going in my mind for quite some time now. I'm not too sure where I'm going with this yet but some reviews will make me think quickly!

And look! Kairi's in the first chapter! It's a miracle! But then again, I don't like her so who cares? Please Review! It'll make me happy and make it seem like my time is worth while!
