Chapter 1: Dancing around in circles
Nineteen year old Sora Waterhouse flew down the stairs of his apartment building. The burnet checked his watch and grimaced. He tugged the dark green trench coat around his white t-shirt and his light blue pants. His semi long brown hair, spiky in every direction, flew in his face as the wind picked up. Sora has the most startling blue eyes anyone has ever seen. His eyes were a very shiny and bright color. Most people's eyes are dull or dark but his are just the opposite. Having a slightly smaller for a male, even though his build was athletic, he has a tiny bit of baby fat that still could be seen in his face. Sora's green Nikes thudded against the ground as he reached the bottom of the stairs.
'Great, I'm going to be late, again.' Sora thought, 'Cloud will have my head!' Sora's stride turned into a jog. Sora rounded two more corners before he came to his destination. 'Pizza Parlor' flashed in the right window.
Sora flew into the restaurant and headed for the back. A tall spiky, blond haired man spotted Sora and looked at the clock. Sora hastily weaved his way through the crowed place and reached a door that said, 'Workers Only'. Sora went through and ran down the row of lockers towards his.
The blond haired man followed Sora, "Sora, finally!" He threw his hands up in the air.
Sora turned around and leaned on the locker door. Sora took in his friend's appearance. The blond haired man had on tight black leather pants and a tight navy blue tank top. Sora shook his head, "Cloud, don't tell me you wore this all day at work?"
The man named Cloud replied, "No! What are you crazy? Bad for business, but you are late, again!" Cloud owned half the restaurant, and his former lover, Cid Highwind the other half. They opened it because they love pizza and to cook. Cid moved to California after they broke up, but he wouldn't give up his half. Cloud was beyond pissed when he found out, but now he didn't care, as long as Cid continues to pay for the rent.
"Listen, sorry, I was studying for a final that's coming up in professor-" Cloud cut Sora off, "Never mind, don't do it again! I'm off on my date with Leon. Close up tonight with Kairi. Oh and when you get home call me on my cell." With that Cloud turned and left, leaving poor Sora standing there without getting a word in. Cloud went to a club quite regularly. His boyfriend of almost three and a half years, Leon, worked there. After both of their shifts they'd dance around for a bit.
The young brunet turned around and placed his coat in the locker, 'I still don't understand why Cloud makes me call him when I get home. I mean he lives with me!' Sora grabbed his work vest and slipped it on. He closed his locker and walked towards the front of the restaurant.
As Sora walked back into the front of the restaurant, he saw a few other co-workers; most just nodded his way or smiled. The energetic redhead known as Kairi greeted Sora at the front counter, "Hey Sora, good of you to join us! I didn't think you were going to come to work today. We are swamped today!" She turned to another costumer and took another order.
Sora looked around. All the tables were full and the phones were ringing off the hook. Sora scratched the back of his head and grimaced, "Yeah it looks it!"
Sora took orders and before he knew it time flew and they were getting ready to close up the restaurant for the night, "Night guys!" Sora waved and stepped onto the street.
The burnet looked at his watch and sighed, 'Darn, another late night. I can't believe its 1:30 in the morning!' Sora came to his apartment building. 'I guess I'll have to study tomorrow. I need to pass that final!'
Quietly, not wanting to wake any neighbors, Sora went up the stairs. As Sora got closer to his door he saw something that made him gasp in surprise.
00000000000oooooooooo0000000000oooooooooo0000000000oooooooooo
A twenty year old, silver haired man stepped in the club. His silver hair reached between his shoulder blades. His greenish eyes were what caught most women's attention; they were always described as intense. The silver haired man's eyes were always outlined in a dark color of eyeliner. He has a slender build, but you could see that he kept in shape. He was fairly tall and looked like he had reached maturity rather early, leaving all his baby fat behind. He always wore clothes to accommodate the body he had, and never had a problem showing it off. He took in his surroundings, 'Damn this place is packed tonight! I better get good fucking tips when I dance tonight, too!'
Riku Nasiff reached the bar and hopped over it with ease. Riku looked at the other bartender. The other bartender was tall and had long brown hair.
The other bartender saw this, "Hey dip shit! Don't give the costumers ideas!" the burnet screamed over the music.
"Nice to see you, too, Leon!" Riku screamed back.
"Get to work, lazy ass! You're on in an hour, so be ready." Leon said handing a costumer a beer.
Riku nodded and started to get people their drinks.
Almost an hour later Riku left Leon and went into the back of the club. He slipped on his costume. The costume consisted of a leather pair of shorts and a leather V cut top. Chains connected both pieces together in many ways. He flipped his hair and pulled it into a lose braid. He checked himself in the mirror, smirked, and walked to the back of the stage.
"Riku wait!" a voice behind yelled. Riku turned around to be face to face with a long silver haired man, "What?"
"The inspector is coming tomorrow. I want you to be on your best behavior, got it?"
"Fine Sephiroth, but why are you telling me?" Riku asked with a confused look on his face.
"Because you are 23 and I wanted to make sure you remember that." The man name Sephiroth answered looking around. A look of understanding crossed his face. "Got it." Riku mocked salute Sephiroth and turned away.
The club quieted down when the lights dimmed. Riku quietly got on stage and smiled. The lights got a little brighter and everyone's attention was on Riku. 'Simple and Clean' began to play loudly.
Riku slowly rocked his hips to the music and he unzipped the leather V cut shirt. When the shirt was unbuttoned, Riku threw the shirt backstage and walked up to the pole in the middle of the stage. Riku grinded his hips against the pole and shuddered. Slowly Riku was becoming hard and you could see it in his dark blackish colored leather shorts. Riku walked over to the edge of the stage and pulled Vincent up on to it.
Both Riku and Vincent were hard as they grinded into each other. The song changed to Daniel Bedingfield's 'Gotta Get Thru This'. Vincent smiled and pulled Riku down into a kiss. The crowd loved them and the crowd started to hoot and scream for more. After the song was over Riku pulled Vincent into the back.
Ten minutes later Riku and Vincent came to the bar, both looking satisfied.
"Hey Riku, I thought I danced badly?" the raven haired man taunted.
"Only when you're sober, Vincent." Riku replied,
"Well, that I must agree on. I'm going to hang out with Leon until Cloud comes.
"See ya." Vincent ordered a beer. Riku got up and found some people to dance with.
Three hours later Riku was attempting to climb the stair his in his apartment building. Riku stumbled a few times. A couple of flights of stairs later, the hallway stared to spin and Riku passed out.
00000000000oooooooooo0000000000oooooooooo0000000000oooooooooo
The blond flew into the club. Standing on his tip-toes he spotted just who he was looking for. Leon. He walked quietly (even though the music was really loud) and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend. The brunet looked up and smiled when he realized that it was Cloud.
"Hey I didn't think you'd show." Leon said, "You missed Riku's show. He's over there." Leon pointed in the direction of a group of guys dancing together.
"Sora was late, again." Cloud shook his head and sat on Leon's lap.
"Sora." Vincent said dreamily, "Wouldn't mind taking a piece of that. Too bad he's straight."
"So he says," Leon laughed, "Think about it. He's never had a girlfriend or boyfriend. Sora is still a virgin!"
"I guess," Cloud said. Changing the subject Cloud whined, "Leon, I want to dance." Cloud kissed Leon's neck.
"Fine, but you need to get off." Leon managed to get out after a gasp.
Cloud giggled and got up. "Okay let's go to the bathroom." Leon growled, "That's not what I meant." Leon got up and grabbed Cloud's waist, "We won't be back for a while." Cloud and Leon left Vincent sitting there.
Vincent laughed and stood making his way to the bar, again.
Two hours, twelve beers, and seven dance partners later, Vincent sat down at a table. Leon and Cloud exited the bathroom, both looking sweaty.
"Nice dancing you two." Vincent eyed them both as they sat down at the table,
"You two... in a bar?" Vincent smiled and shook hid head.
Leon laughed, "So didn't you and Riku. Where is he?" Leon looked around.
"What time is it?" Cloud asked as Leon got up to get them drinks.
"After 1:30. Why?" Sephiroth asked coming towards them.
"Ah, Sora should be calling soon." Cloud responded taking a sip from Vincent's beer.
"You still having him call you? He's 19! Leave him be," Vincent advised.
"I just want him safe." Cloud replied.
Leon came back, "Hey Seph. So they are really coming tomorrow? You warned Riku right?"
"Yep, still can't believe it, either." Sephiroth replied.
Abruptly Cloud jumped out of his chair and reached for his cell phone. The little silver machine vibrated again. The blond glared at it and muttered, "I'll be right back." The blond left the building to take the call.
Ten minutes later Cloud came back to the table looking worried.
"Hey hun, what's wrong?" Leon asked, looking at Cloud.
"Sora found someone passed out somewhere and brought her home." Cloud shook his head and rubbed his temples as a headache started to form. Cloud decided that this was his permanent form of punishment. Sora had a knack for helping people even when they didn't want it. One time Sora had found a prostitute and brought her home. The girl thought she was getting paid to do stuff, and boy was she pissed when she found out the truth. Let's just say things didn't go over to well.
Vincent and Sephiroth laughed. Vincent whispered to himself more than anyone in particular, "He's too damn innocent for his own good."
"Yeah, wanna go home?" Leon asked grabbing his house keys.
"Yes please." Cloud groaned.
Leon and Cloud said their goodbyes and started to walk home.
00000000000oooooooooo0000000000oooooooooo0000000000oooooooooo
"Hello?" Sora asked. Sora walked closer to the unconscious body and poked the body on the side.
The body turned onto its back and Sora gasped, 'This girl can't stay out here. She'll get cold."
Sora picked the girl up and stumbled to his apartment door and opened it. He set the unconscious girl on the couch and got a blanket. He covered her up and walked into the kitchen.
Sora paced in the kitchen not knowing what to do, and then he saw the phone.
'I'll call Cloud!' Sora thought as he grabbed the cordless phone. He dialed the number and waited for the phone to pick up on the other line.
"Hey Sora. You home already?" Cloud asked.
"Hey Cloud!" Sora squeaked.
"Sora you sound funny- what did you do?" Cloud demanded.
"Ah nothing? Uh Cloud, I helped someone today. She's in our living room passed out so-"
"What! Sora, not again." Cloud began to pace.
"Sorry, but she was passed out, outside. I didn't want anything to happen to her so I brought her in."
"Sora? Never mind, I'm coming home. Stay safe, got it?"
"Yea, but Cloud-" He tried to explain himself further but was cut off.
"See you in thirty minutes." Cloud hung up.
'Good grief! I try to help someone and I get yelled at for it! Oh well, I'll be thanked later.' Sora went into the living room and sat in the chair, next to the couch.
Sora turned the T.V. on quietly and fell asleep five minutes later.
Twenty minutes later Cloud and Leon came through the door, waking a sleeping Sora.
"Sora, you okay?" Cloud asked looking around.
"Yea I'm... Wait, where did she go?" Sora asked standing up, looking in the direction of the girl.
"What! You mean you fell asleep with a stranger-" He yelled before a loud crash from the kitchen cut Cloud off.
Leon moved from his place at the door and slowly went into the kitchen.
Laughter could be heard in the kitchen. Slowly Cloud went into the kitchen followed by Sora.
Cloud stopped suddenly and laughed, "Riku, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Not a clue! I woke up on the couch with this cute kid sleeping in the chair. Wait, this is your apartment?" Riku looked around. His eyes widen in amazement, this place was neater than his apartment.
"Yeah well we know how you got here." Leon said. He pointed to Sora. Riku realized that there was someone else there and smiled. Leon continued, "Sora brought you in here after he found you passed out on the stairs, again."
"Yeah about that, I was looking for the Tylenol. You got any?" Riku responded. He rubbed at his temples and licked his lips.
Sora disappeared and came back with a bottle of it, "Here you go." Sora walked up to him and handed it to Riku.
Riku grabbed the bottle with his left hand. With his right hand Riku grabbed Sora's arm and yanked him closer. Sora gasped and his eyes widened.
"How old are you Sora?" Riku asked pulling Sora's face close to his. Sora blushed and Leon shook his head, "Riku, leave Sora alone."
Sora squeaked and froze, his eyes were wide. When Riku didn't get his answer he kissed Sora on the cheek. Sora stammered, "Ninete- nineteen."
Riku laughed and looked Sora over, "Damn, I had you pegged for sixteen or so. Definitely cute, though." Riku dropped the bottle of Tylenol and wrapped his arms around Sora's waist, pulling Sora up against his body.
Sora yelped, "Riku? I'm not... I'm not gay." The poor brunet was too dumbstruck to actually move away from Riku.
"Oh yeah, right and I don't work at a club." Riku reluctantly let go of Sora and declared, "You'll be mine, not before long!" the silver haired man's face contorted in pain as his headache came back full force.
Sora stepped back quickly and let out a breath he had been holding in. The brunet bent down and picked up the dropped bottle. He handed the bottle to Riku and got him a glass of water.
Feeling that it was safe to speak, the blond looked at the two. "Hey you two done, yet?" Cloud asked looking at the clock. Leon had long walked over to Cloud and was kissing his neck softly.
Riku replied no, but Sora replied yes. Leon laughed and asked Riku, "Hey Riku, ready to go upstairs?"
"Sure thing." Riku replied staring at Sora. Sora shifted uncomfortably and walked into the living room. Riku followed and stared at Sora's ass.
Leon turned Cloud around in his arms and kissed him on the lips, "Call me tomorrow."
"Will do; come on, before Riku molests Sora." Cloud laughed.
Everyone said their good byes. Cloud and Sora went into their rooms and went to sleep.
