Note: Hello! I've been playing with this idea for some time now, and timidly decided to post it. Heh, I'm a newbie. I'd greatly appreciate any comments. After all, how else can I improve? I'll even accept flames-but please have something read to say in them. If it's just mindless ranting then you'll just make me laugh.

Warnings: This is RikuxSora and LeonxCloud yaoi. If the thought makes you twitch then please turn back now. Also, this story now contains (or will eventually)mild language, violence, attempted rape, sarcasm,and mentions of past abuse. Not to mention angst and humor.

Disclaimer: This is a fanfic. I own nothing related to Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, etc, except the video games I've bought.

I hope you enjoy and remember-comments or suggestions of any type are loved!

---------------------------

It was a typical Monday morning at Morell Academy, one of the top all-boys boarding schools in the country. With the highest rate of honors graduates, elite staff, and a spotless reputation, it was an ideal school. Only the best and brightest (or richest) attended. Not to mention the best behaved.

WHAM!

Well…almost…

"HARADA!"

The only response that came was a bigger explosion, which shook the second floor, followed by thundering footsteps and muffled laughter. Within seconds, a smoky cloud filled the corridor, smelling horribly like burnt rubber and garbage someone forgot to take out.

"Harada and Everheart! GET BACK HERE NOW!"

The shadowed figures of two young men came hurtling around the corner, looking disheveled and breathless-but like they were having the time of their lives. The front boy flung open a nearby door and the duo threw themselves inside, yanking off their uniforms and pulling on pajamas without hesitation. One watching this scene unfold would think they've done this before…

Each boy dove into bed and feigned sleep, willing their racing heartbeats and labored breathing to slow. Minutes passed and the panting turned to rumbling snores. Just when it seemed as if tranquility had settled in, lumbering footsteps pronounced themselves outside the dorm room. The door burst open and slammed against the wall, causing the boy nearest it to sit bolt up, wincing, as the room was flooded with light. A squat, sweaty, balding man stood in the doorway, looking beside himself with rage, then slightly surprised. But only slightly.

"Wuzgoinon?" the boy mumbled, ruffling his platinum locks. The man whirled on him, determined to prove their guilt. "Harada you know damn well what's going on! There were just two explosion in the Chemistry lab downstairs!" he roared. The silver-haired teen looked sleepily surprised. "You did all of this to tell us that there wouldn't be any Chemistry classes today, Headmaster?" Harada asked groggily. "No!" the Headmaster spat. "I came up here to convict you both and have you expelled." Harada's frown deepened, confusion radiating off of him. "Shouldn't Leon hear this?" he asked, pointing at his still-snoring roommate. Without waiting for an answer, he picked up a nearby book and threw it.

Leon yelped and thrashed around before rolling off of his mattress, still tangled in his blankets. When he reappeared, he was rubbing the side of his head and wearing an angry expression. "Damnit Riku, you couldn't just-oh. Headmaster, what are you doing here?" he asked, surprised. "Apparently, we've cloned ourselves but something went horribly wrong and our evil clones blew up the Chem. lab while we slept," Riku explained.

"Enough!" howled the Headmaster. "A boy about your height was spotted down there in lab coats about ten minutes before the first explosion went off! I know it was you-I called your names out and the only answer was laughter!" A long silence hung in the air. "All due respect sir, but I doubt whoever blew up the lab would really want to correct you. Most people would remain silent to make you think we did it, and if you expelled us then they get away. Just my opinion sir," Leon voiced quietly, occasionally running his fingers through his tousled brown hair.

The Headmaster opened and closed his mouth but remained silent.

"Also sir," Riku piped up. "There are two of us. Best friends may I add. Didn't you once say we were joined at the hip?" The Headmaster spluttered incoherently before heaving a sigh. "I guess I can't convict you…yet," he added, stepping back into the doorway. "Rest assured this isn't over. If I get any evidence, the two of you will be out of here faster than you can say 'innocent.' I promise you." The door slammed and his footsteps thundered away. There was a silence then laughter exploded in the small space. "We are far too clever my friend," Riku chuckled, a triumphant smirk on his face and a wicked glint in his aquamarine eyes. "That we are," Leon agreed, tugging his covers back onto his bed. "That was flawless acting. But did you really have to chuck a book at me?" he added sourly, rubbing the sore spot on his head. Riku grinned and shrugged. "Nah, but it added effect. Or it was just funny…" he then quickly ducked as a very thick textbook came flying at his head.

Five hours later found the boys and their classmates sat waiting for their professor to arrive, the murmur of chatter floating to the high ceiling. Riku and Leon sat high in the back, chairs tilted back and feet on their desks, looking like royalty. "Wonder where he is?" Riku wondered aloud, surveying the classroom. "Hmmm?" Leon asked, whose eyes were glued to a wild-haired blonde boy bent over a book. Riku smirked and nudged him. "Interested?" Still not looking away, Leon shrugged although a small blush appeared in his cheeks. "He's kinda cute," he muttered. Riku only laughed. "I don't know about you, but I'm not into relationships that last more than a week. In out-few days. Careful though," he added winking. "He is cute. I might be interested in your little boyfriend…" Leon finally tore his gaze away and glared at his best friend. "You wouldn't!" he cried. Riku shrugged. "I could, but I won't. I can pretty much anyone here I want, and I've tested that theory many times. You know it's true-how many times have I come back to our room in the middle of the night already?" Leon rolled his eyes. "Your ego wouldn't fit in a stadium," he said. "Yeah you've got more notches in your belt than anyone cares to count, but not everyone wants you."

The class door opened just as Riku raised one platinum eyebrow. "Yeah? I'll show you I can. Pick anyone and I'll get-" he was cut-off as the class felt silent. A boy of sixteen stood alongside the professor, looking around the room shyly. His thick cinnamon locks stuck out at odd angles and chopped bangs framed his deep sapphire eyes, which were lined in an inky black. Full pink lips were in a small grin, which matched the faint tint in his cheeks. His clothes hugged him tightly, and his lightly tanned arms were folded across his chest. In the crowd, someone whistled and the blush across his face deepened.

Professor Owens cleared his throat and patted the young man on the shoulder. "Everyone, please welcome our newest student, Sora Taimedo," he announced, hoping to break the silence. A small applause rose up as the students gazed at the boy in interest, amusement, sympathy, and in more than a few cases-want. Leon leaned over and whispered in Riku's ear. "Anyone you said? I choose him. Be sure you aren't drooling when you talk to him though-it isn't flattering."
