Author's Strange notes: Hello all, and welcome to Confounded Hearts! This is a Kingdom Hearts story, based on Riku/Sora. >>Rated M For Future Chapters

NOTE: This story is boy/boy. If you no like, stay away. I mean, FAR away. And please don't leave any nasty comments, either. That would just ruin it for my other readers :) –cough- If I have any -cough-

If you have any ideas for the story, you can PM me and such. Or you can review. Remember, this is my first story EVER! And I know Destiny High is so often overused that it's just plain annoying, but my brain's just walked off -check that, ran away as fast as it could in terror- when I tried to figure out movie making. Suggestions are sacred. -bows down-

On with the show!

Disclaimer: I do not, sadly, own Kingdom Hearts. If I did, there would be more Boy/Boy action, and that scene at the end with Sora and Kairi? Riku would have crept up behind Sora, and… Well, that's why I don't own it. I don't own Charlie the Unicorn, either :) IT'S SO AWESOME!!! I swear. Whoops, better get on with it…

1. Warnings, Beginnings, and Charlie

It was a fine, sunny morning. The birds were singing their sweet melodies, the squirrels were chattering over fallen nuts, but the important part…

It was a school day.

Riku Mundarai walked along the memorized path to school. His head was down, and his silver hair shot down to his back. Another whole year! He thought miserably. He was so deeply wrapped up in his slightly depressing thoughts that he didn't notice the person standing right in front of him.

Riku looked up and smirked. "Hey Roxas." The boy stood with his arms crossed and his head shaking slightly from side to side with a playful smile on his face. His hair, as usual, stood up on one side. "Glad to see you haven't yet cured your bed head."

Roxas Hikari grinned, his blue eyes twinkling. "Glad to see you decided to return to the world of the living. Course, first you just had to run into me. I don't think my foot will ever be the same!" The blonde made a great show of rubbing his foot. "Anyway, what's been eating your mind lately?"

Riku groaned. "Lets see, we're going back to that lunatic building called school, with cross, flabby-eyed adults they call teachers, and where we have to go from class to class 'learning' what we'll just forget in about 10 years. Need I say more?"

Roxas nudged him. "Don't sound so cheerful, Riku. At least there will be some new kids. That's always interesting!"

Riku smirked. "More prey in the game. Now come on, Mr. Snooty Pants. We'll be late for our first day of prison! God forbid!"

Sora Malcite walked towards the large boarding school in front of him. He could have easily fit his last two homes in it and still have room to spare. He opened the front door, and stepped inside. Curiously, he gazed around him at what would be 'home' for the next 10 months.

Sora kicked his feet at the rug glumly. He would have rather been anywhere but here. After the… accident, he had been moved here. His brother Cloud was in the nearby college, and now Sora had to go to this boarding school where he knew absolutely nobody. It didn't help that it was an all boy's school, and the boys, being extra horny from lack of girls, who probably prey on the next best thing. Freshmen. And that was exactly what Sora was. A freshman that knew nobody, nothing, not their pasts, or the groups, or anything!

Oh joy, he just couldn't wait to start.

He slipped into a room where a woman with brown hair was typing on a computer. Sora cleared his throat. "Err… Uh…"

She looked up and smiled, her green eyes twinkling. "You are Sora Malcite, correct?"

Sora was taken-back. "How did you…?"

"Not much gets past me, sweetie. They didn't hire me as secretary for nothing." She nodded. "I bet you want me to show you to your dorm. I hope you get along with your roommate. And that would be…" She flipped through a bright blue binder that seemed to be over filled with papers. "Ah… Interesting. Seems like you'll be spending the years with no other than Riku Mundarai himself."

"What?" Asked Sora nervously when she paused. "Did Riku do anything?"

Her kind voice faltered. "Well… I'll let you see for yourself. He has been a bit of a 'player' in the past. Come along then. I'll show you to your room. By the way, my name's Aerith."

Sora gave her his goofy smile. "Thanks!"

Aerith smiled back.

"I wonder who I'll be stuck with this year?" Riku pondered. He shuddered. "Last year with Tidus was horrible. He would wake me up in the middle of the night –every night, mind you- having sex with some random person he would just forget about the next day. No wonder my grades dipped."

Roxas laughed. "Look who's talking, Mr. I'm-Having-Sex-So-Shut-Up-And-Accept-It! And don't kid yourself. The light bulb above your head never lit up a day in your life."

Riku tried to look hurt, but failed miserably. "Well at least I'm not dragged into every spare classroom by that redhead for an oral wrestling match!" Roxas turned beat red and muttered obscenities while Riku roared with laughter.

"Ah Roxas, I would recognize that particular shad of delicate red anywhere!" The said person turned only to be caught in a ferocious death squeeze his boyfriend thought was a 'hug'.

"A-Axel!" Roxas choked, and Axel released him with a smirk.

"Oh sorry, my bed head lover. Did I ruin your handsome features? We can't have that can we, seeing as you're my roomie!"

Roxas choked harder, and Riku thumped him on the back. "W-What?"

Axel gave a smirk that would give even Riku a run for his money, and his hand lifted to scratch his flaming red head. "Well my dad placed a few chosen calls, and bam! The school decided us worthy of being messmates!" He placed a warm kiss on the blonde's forehead. "And I think everyone knows what we'll be doing in the dark corners of our bed sheets."

"Not that we would want to!" Riku scoffed. While they had been having that interesting conversation, their feet had led them straight to the big double doors of the so-called 'prison'.

The group stepped inside. "Aerith! Another year with the well-known secretary! My, aren't you looking especially stunning today! Are you sure you don't want us to bow? Or drop on our knees in front of your glorious presence?"

"Oh ha ha, very funny Axel. I'm not sure I can say the same to you, for your presence isn't glorious, more like revolting and sad. Anyways, Riku." She turned, blocking out the red's protests but winking at the snorting blonde. "I would like to have a word with you. Here…" She fished out a pair of keys and tossed them to the flaming rouge, who had been just about to complain. Roxas pulled Axel away to find their new room, and probably give it a tester.

Aerith walked into her office, with Riku behind. She turned and glared straight into his eyes. I'm in trouble already, and I haven't even gotten to my dorm! "I was just with your new roommate showing him the room. I know, exactly, what you are going to do with him. And Riku, I'm warning you. I don't want him to come running to my office in the middle of the night. Don't hurt him. Or I swear to god, I won't be as kind to you this time." The burning in her eyes made Riku uncomfortable.

"And what makes you say I would come on to him?" Riku tried to form his face into a feeling of hurt. "Hmm, he's probably not even my type, anyways."

"Riku, you don't have a type. The rumours and the proof are strong defenders against that. Now they're saying you slept with every freshman and senior last year in Destiny High."

Riku hitched his signature smirk on. "Ah, don't worry. I'm sure he could handle it. Every other person I've 'dated' made it through, didn't they? And I would like the pleasure of having the key to my dorm."

Aerith handed the key over giving Riku a sad smile as he walked out into the hall.

"Sora isn't like any of the people you've been with Riku. I hope you realise that before it's too late."

Sora stood with his back to the window, observing his handiwork. Desk littered with pencils, paper, and other utensils, books scattered on the floor for easy access, clothes hanging out of the dresser (making their bid for freedom), and the sheets on the bed messed up to a I-Just-Got-Out-Of-Bed state. He let out a sigh of satisfaction and collapsed on the bed with his arm outstretched. At least here nobody could force him to clean up. He was very proud of himself for making his half of the room feel like home.

Home. Wonder what that's like… He thought dully.

But oh, that pillow was so comfortable. Thank god he came to the place a day early. Even though the extra day was for unpacking and exploring. He smiled as a memory drifted him to sleep.

A boy of 12 lay spread out on his bed, the bed sheets pushed to the end. His blonde hair stuck up in random directions, and his mouth was half open. He was deep enough asleep that not even fireworks above his head could wake him up.

Or so he thought.

A younger boy of 8 slowly crept up to the side of the bed. Today his parents had sent him to wake up the sleeping mountain that was his brother. His brown locks quivered slightly as he sat down right beside the other's head.

"Charlie… Chaaaaaarlie… Chaarlie…" He started chanting softly, his eyes sparkling with happiness. "Chaaaaaaaaaaarlieeeeeee…"

The blonde groaned and rolled over. "You've got to stop watching Charlie the Unicorn, Sora. It's not good for my health."

Sora shook his head stubbornly. "Wake up you silly sleepy-head!!" He stood up and started shoving the blonde's side. "Chaaarlie, Chaaaaaar-…"

"Sora, I mean it. I want to have at least one day of this summer just for sleeping. You can go tell Mum and Dad that, since they're the only one's here to send you to wake me up. And for the last time, it's Cloud, not Charlie!"

Sora climbed onto the bed and started jumping right beside Cloud. "Nooo, Charlie! You have to come with me to Candy Mountain! We could go visit the Leoplurodon! Then we can sing the Candy Mountain Candy Cave Song, and jump around in circles with the letters! We can go on the bridge of hope and wonder! And Candy Mountain gives you candy!! That's because it's a land of sweets, and joy, and joyne-AHHH!" Sora gave a yelp as his foot slipped. He crashed onto the ground by the other's bed.

Cloud groaned and sat up, his arms supporting him while he blearily blinked his ocean blue eyes. "Just go back downstairs, Sora. I'm not getting up today, no matter what you… Sora?" He leaned over the side of the bed and found the brunette sitting in a tight ball, his arms wrapped tightly around his knees with his head buried into his lap. He sniffed.

Cloud shot out of the bed and kneeled by the younger's side. "Sora, are you ok? What happened, where do you hurt? Oh, Sora, I'm so sorry for not-…" His voice faltered. The brunette jumped up and grinned goofily at his brother. "Got you up!" He yelled triumphantly before scurrying out of the room, the blonde hot on his heels.

Cloud roared in anger. "Come BACK here, you little squirt!!"

Sora screamed with laughter. "You'll never catch MEE!!"

ASN: Nyahaha! Chapter one is now finished!

I think that after a few chapters, I may start another story. Just for a change :).

Reviews are welcome and LOVED TO PIECES!!! Pretty please? I'll make Sora give you the puppy eyes! ;) More reviews equals for inspiration:)
