Twins fall for a boy!
Disclaimer I don't own kingdom hearts obviously, but I do own my oc however, please enjoy the story
Sora P.O.V
Hi I'm Sora, I'm an average 15 year old, average parents and an average life. Nothing too exciting happens around here, nothing at all. It really is boring, but I have two very best friends by the names of Riku and Kairi but sometimes I feel like a third wheel since they are a couple. They have been together since last year when Riku asked her out.
"Sora get up! We're going to be late for school!"
Oh yeah I forgot my twin brother Roxas. Maybe that's a bad thing to forget but he can be a little annoying sometimes.
"I'm awake Roxas!"
He is always like this in the morning, since he is my twin he likes to annoy me.
"Well hurry up. Mom sent me to get you anyway, besides I heard someone cute is starting in our class today."
Someone cute? By someone cute he means a boy. Yes that's right my brother is gay, he came out to everyone last year. My parents didn't handle it well but in the end they accepted it. As for myself, well I'm gay also but I can't tell anyone, I would be too embarrassed.
Roxas barges into my room and looks at me with an annoyed expression.
"Are you coming? We need to be ready in five minutes!"
And as quickly as he came, he left.
I get out of the bed and do my usual routine of washing, getting my school uniform on and other things like that. I don't really care about making it to school on time anyway.
I finish what I need to do and head to the kitchen where I find my twin brother looking at me with harsh eyes but I opt to sit down rather than engage him in conversation.
"Its about time Sora!"
I turn to my annoying brother.
"I was busy getting ready."
I said that as I take a bite of my toast.
"That's no excuse. You know I've been waiting a week for this."
I don't know what he is talking about now.
"What have you been waiting for?"
He rolls his eyes at me and picks up his school bag and starts rummaging through the bag.
"Aah there it is."
He grabs something out of it and shows me a picture.
"I've been waiting for him."
The boy on the picture is someone I don't recognize, is this the boy that Roxas is talking about? Is this the boy who is starting today?
"Why have you been waiting for him exactly?"
I causally ask.
"Wouldn't you? His face looks pretty."
While that is true, Roxas doesn't know what the boy is even like. He might not even be gay. He might be straight and he might be a bastard.
"So? Why are you telling me this?"
He gains a perverted like smile.
"Because he is cute. If his body is anything like his face then I think I've found the one."
"But what if he isn't gay?"
He shrugs his shoulders at me.
"I will turn him gay."
I face fault at his answer. You can't turn people gay! They either are or not.
"Riiiiiiight. Good luck with that."
I say sarcastically.
"Thanks Sora."
I give him a strange look before I turn back to my breakfast that mom made.
I finish my breakfast in record time today since we are already a little late, I think it was because I went to bed late playing a new game. I should of been doing my homework but games take top priority over homework.
"Boys come on, I will drive you too school."
Our wonderful mother called us with her angelic like voice, my mom can be the strict but she is such a loving mother, I wouldn't change her. She doesn't have a job...well a paying one. She does however have a job of looking after the house which is hard since my other brother messes up the house.
Oh yeah I forgot about him also. My other brother is called Ventus or Ven as he likes it and he is 19 years old so he is in college but he wont move out to the ire of my parents. He actually looks like an older version of Roxas, its a little creepy actually. He also has a girlfriend called Aqua who is a polite girl but I don't know what she sees in my lazy brother.
"So Sora you got your usual after school club today?"
Roxas asks after I just finished my toast.
"Yes. I have my usual club activity's. What about you?"
I question my twin as we start heading for the door.
"No. I'm going to be charming the new boy today and by the end of today I'm no longer going to be single."
I sweatdrop at him. He will scare the poor boy away if he comes on strong.
"You know you can't flirt with him on the first day?"
Once we had exited the house he looks at me with a curious gaze.
"Why not?"
"Because you might scare him if you flirt with him."
He gains a tick mark as we get into the car, my dad usually drives us too school but since he is at a meeting with some client, our mom is going to take us today.
"I wont scare him at all!"
I sigh and put on my seat belt, Roxas and mom does the same and once she checks that we are all fastened up she starts taking us too school.
"Roxas why don't you get to know him before you flirt with him? He might have the looks but he also might be a bastard."
"Hey Sora! Don't say things about my future boyfriend like that!"
"Your future boyfriend?"
I ask.
"Yes. He will be my future boyfriend."
I decide to tease him a little.
"So what is the future boyfriends name?"
He puffs out his cheeks and turns away from me, yeah so he doesn't know his name.
"How would I know Sora? I have never talked to him or even met him. The only thing I know about him is that he lives in the city and he moved here recently with his grandmother."
So this boy lives with his grandmother? Wait...why do I care? Its not any of my business if this boy lives with his grandmother or not.
"Oh Roxas how did you get a picture of the boy you have never met?"
"Axel got it for me."
Axel. That is Roxas' friend. He can of gives me the creeps and he always says got it memorized.
"And you can trust that photo is an accurate one?"
"Yes. I'm sure its an accurate one. Axel wouldn't get me an inaccurate one."
I roll my eyes again, I'm almost certain that he would.
"Anyway Sora why are you so interested in my future boyfriend? Jealous perhaps?"
I scoff at that, why would I be jealous of him? He doesn't know I'm gay so he can't say I'm jealous. I haven't even met the boy so how could I be jealous?
"I'm not jealous of you. Besides he might not even like you."
I playfully say.
"Don't say that! He will love me, I know he will."
Wow Roxas is really determined today. I've never seen him so determined before. It might be because he has never had a boyfriend. He is a little cocky but he is incredibly shy around boys he thinks are cute, I'm not shy around anyone. But I have never found any boys that I find cute.
"Oh Roxas you know I'm teasing. I'm sure he will love you."
Roxas then hugs me.
"Thank you Sora. Also you have to help me make him fall in love with me."
What?
"Why do I have to help you?"
"Because I'm your twin and twins help each other don't they?"
I sigh and nod.
"So Sora you have your art and photography club after school today?"
Mom said to me suddenly.
"Yes that's right mom. I have it until the usual time of five again."
I like art and photography but its only Namine and myself in the club. Speaking of, Namine is Kairi's sister. Actually she is her adoptive sister as Namine's mom married Kairi's dad but they do look kind of similar.
"So you want picking up or are you walking home?"
She asks me as we are nearing the school now.
"I will walk home. I could do with the exorcise hehe."
I chuckle to myself quietly, Roxas is the athletic one of us, I'm more nerdy but I'm not book smart, although my grades are better than Roxas' grades.
"Alright sweetie. Oh say hi to Namine for me."
"I will mom."
My mother is kind and considerate, I'm more like her while Roxas' is more like my dad.
"So Sora you are helping me win the cute boy aren't you?"
Roxas states more than asks. I could do without helping my brother hook up with some boy.
"I will help you but you owe me."
"Fine fine. If I win the affections of the boy then I will owe you."
Yeah he will do. I will be getting a favour that I can cash in anytime I want to.
After riding in the car for another couple of minutes we finally arrive at school.
"Have a good day boys, love you."
We say it back to her and get out of the car.
"Sora I'm going on ahead, if I'm lucky the boy might be there already."
With a pervy laugh he ran into the school building.
I suppose I should be heading into class also, if I'm right then I have Maths for first period, I'm actually ok with maths its just the other subjects that I have trouble with like Science.
"SORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
I hear a little scream behind me so I quickly turn to see Kairi.
She comes over to me but I don't see Riku with her this morning.
"Good morning Kairi."
I say calmly.
"Good morning Sora. I had a message of Roxas this morning saying I have to help him get some boy to fall in love with him."
So he has conned Kairi to also get involved with his plan. I feel sorry for her.
"So you too huh."
She responds with a strong nod.
"Yes. So who is this mystery boy?"
I shrug my shoulders.
"I don't really know if I'm honest. He showed me a picture of a boy this morning, and he also said that he is a new transfer student."
"Oh yes the new boy. I heard that he had to relocate here after his parents had an unfortunate accident that claimed there lives."
So this boy had to move here because his parents died.
"That's sad, I feel sorry for him."
She sighs sadly and nods also.
"I only lost my mom but to lose both your parents at once and then move to an unfamiliar school and an unfamiliar city. It must be tough."
"Yeah it must be...Say Kairi where is Riku this morning?"
I ask her as we make our way to class, we are in different classes but we are going to same way as her class is a little past mine.
"Riku had to do some kind of practice with his team this morning, so my dad gave Namine and I a lift here. But Namine rushed to class quickly."
Riku is on the football team, so having practice this early isn't out of the ordinary.
"I see. So you have a date with Riku tonight?"
I like teasing her because her face heats up and she starts stuttering.
"W-Well I-I-I do have a d-d-date but its n-none of your business."
I laugh at her and she glares at me.
"So Sora why haven't you gotten a girlfriend yet?"
I then become nervous. I don't like talking about my love life. Because I'm afraid that they will discover that I'm that way. Even if there is nothing to be ashamed of, its still an embarrassing thing to say out loud.
"B-Because I don't want a girlfriend."
I reply truthfully. I don't want a girlfriend and right now I'm not really looking for a boyfriend either.
"You don't want a girlfriend? You know I sometimes don't get you." she looks at her watch then looks at me again, "I actually have class now so see you at lunch."
"Me too. See you at lunch."
We quickly hug and then we go to our respective classes. I enter my class as it was just a few seconds away from were Kairi and I had just left.
I go to the back of the classroom and sit at my usual desk, Roxas' desk is next to mine but I have a empty chair next to me while he sits next to a girl called Xion. I don't know much about her but she does seem like a nice person.
"So Roxas did you meet your future boyfriend yet?"
I tease him again as I unpack my books for the lesson.
"No. He isn't here yet. I asked around and people said that he will come in after lesson starts."
Well I could have told him that. New kids always come in after a lesson starts so they can be introduced to the whole class by the teacher.
"Come on Roxas. Cheer up."
He looks kind of sad because he didn't meet this so called future boyfriend of his.
"I will cheer up when I see him. Sora how long until class starts?"
"In a few minutes."
I reply to him while looking at my watch which was a birthday present from Kairi.
"Thank god for that. I couldn't sleep last night, just thinking about my boyfriend."
He didn't even say future this time, so Roxas has decided that this boy is his boyfriend. One way or another it seems this boy isn't going to have a choice.
"Roxas I heard from Kairi that this boys parents died not to long ago."
He looks at me with wide eyes.
"Are you serious?"
I respond by nodding.
"So his parents died then. I wont come on fully then, I will just be nice to him first."
That's sensible. He doesn't want to upset this poor guy.
"Good Roxas. Be on best behaviour now."
He glares at me but then Mr Luxord comes in and clears his throat.
"Good morning everyone. Please take your seats. I have a new student to introduce you too but he is a little shy so make him feel welcomed."
Shuffling of chairs can be heard as the students rush into their we all face Mr Luxord waiting intently.
Mr Luxord went out of the room briefly before coming back in with a small boy...wow he is really cute. Such lovely green eyes and light blonde hair that reaches his shoulders...some of his hair is also covering his left eye somewhat...
"I hit the jackpot."
Roxas said quietly while blushing.
"Now class this is the new student. Please introduced yourself."
The boy takes his eyes off the floor and looks at us all with scared eyes.
"Umm, h-hello m-my name is Ma-Makoto. I-I hope we can g-get along."
The boy then bowed to us all.
"So cute."
Roxas said from beside me so I quickly look in his direction and see that he is staring at the now named Makoto with a lustful gaze.
"Now to find a seat for you..." Mr Luxord looked all around the room until his eyes fell onto the chair next to mine, "Ah there we go. Makoto you can sit next to Sora. Sora please raise your hand so Makoto knows where to go."
I raise my hand as Mr Luxord asked but I hear Roxas saying that I'm a lucky bastard. I'm only sitting next to him and it works out good for Roxas too as I can get to know him for Roxas.
Makoto comes over to me shyly and takes the seat. He then turns to me while looking very shy.
"H-Hello its nice t-to meet you."
He spoke with a soft voice.
"Y-Yes hello I'm Sora, you're Makoto right?"
He nods shyly at me.
"Y-Yes I'm Makoto. Its a pleasure to meet you."
He smiles at me and I feel my face heating up a little, damn Roxas was right when he said that this boy is cute.
"Its also a pleasure to meet you."
I spoke to him kindly and he avoids my gaze a little.
"Sora I want you too look after Makoto here. Since he's new, I want you too show him around."
Mr Luxord said to me.
"Yes sir."
I reply to him quickly.
"Thank you Sora. Now lets get on with the lesson."
We all nod happily and Mr Luxord starts teaching the lesson. It was just the usual lesson of Maths and it seems Makoto is quite intelligent as he was able to keep up despite coming into the school year a month after it started.
Once the class ends Roxas immediately comes over to Makoto's side and he looks a little frightened of Roxas.
"Hey there. I'm Roxas, you're Makoto right?"
"H-Hello Roxas. I'm Makoto as you know."
Roxas sure works fast doesn't he?
"So I guess you have met my twin here."
Roxas gestures to me and Makoto turns to me surprised.
"Y-You two are twins?"
He asks me surprised and I nod.
"S-So um its nice to meet you Roxas. Please treat me well."
"Y-Yes I certainly will."
I don't think Makoto catched the hidden meaning behind Roxas' words.
"Thank you. Even if I'm not going to be here long, lets be friends."
Wont be here long? Is he planning on going somewhere?
"Why wont you be here long?"
Roxas asked my unasked question.
"W-Well my grandmama isn't well and she wont be here much longer. My parents died in a car crash a few weeks ago and my grandmama has c-c-cancer and the d-doctors said s-she wont live much l-longer. They e-estimated a couple of months at most."
That's really bad, his parents die then his grandmother is close to death also. By the way he is looking at the ground, it looks like he is going to cry.
"B-But what will happen to you?"
To Roxas' question Makoto sobs into his hands.
"I-I will b-be put in-into care."
"O-Oh...but don't you have any other family?"
Makoto shakes his head at my question.
"I have no one. Grandmama is my only living relative so after she is gone, I'm going into care most likely."
"I'm sorry for mentioning it Makoto."
Roxas bows his head to Makoto.
"Its ok. You didn't know."
I then try and lighten the mood.
"Makoto you know I'm going to look after you."
I said that but Roxas glares at me harshly.
"Y-Yes please do."
Makoto and I stood up and Roxas stood at one side of Makoto while I stood at the other side of him.
"I will look after you also Makoto. Better than Sora would anyway."
This time it was my turn to glare at him but however Makoto just laughs softly at Roxas.
"T-Thank you Roxas. B-But you don't have too."
Roxas then linked arms with Makoto! And he said he would take it slow with Makoto huh.
"I will still look after you."
"That's very kind Roxas. You don't know me yet you are willing too look after me. Say um what class do we have next?"
I then respond to his question.
"We have double English next, then lunch."
"I wish lunch was now...I'm hungry."
He stated to us. Its only ten o'clock in the morning and he is hungry.
"Me too Makoto! Anyway lets get to class."
"O-Ok Roxas b-but our arms are linked..."
Makoto trailed off, Roxas quickly unlinks his arms from Makoto's and starts apologizes to him.
"I'm sorry Makoto!"
"N-No its fine. I don't mind if its someone cu..."
Someone what? He trailed off before his face turned red.
"Someone like what?"
Roxas asks and Makoto promptly blushes a little.
"O-Oh ummm, someone n-nice."
"So I'm nice then?"
Roxas smirks, he does know Makoto means personality wise, not body wise.
"Y-Yes very nice. Also you are nice Sora."
He promptly blushes and so do I...no I can't blush at him. Roxas has already expressed an interest in Makoto so I couldn't go after him...not like I'm interested in him! He seems nice but I'm not like Roxas, I don't fall in love at first sight!
"Shall we get going Sora?"
Roxas asks me.
"Yes lets."
So like that the three of us exited the class room and went to English, my least favourite subject. Its not that I hate English but I'm not that good at it. Roxas isn't so good with the subject either. Once he got the text wrong and shouted that the teacher was a bastard and got detention for it. It was a funny sight to see as the teacher looking in hysterics when Roxas called her a bastard.
We went to English and this time Makoto sat inbetween Roxas and I, I'm not jealous of Roxas being close to Makoto...why would I be? Its not like Makoto has expressed an interest in Roxas or me either. I don't even know his sexual orientation.
In English we did the usual boring English, Roxas didn't even pay attention as he kept staring at Makoto the whole time, then again I can't say anything as I kept my gaze on him.
The bell rang and that signified the end of the lesson and now it is lunch time.
"Makoto want to eat lunch with me..." I send my brother a look, "...I mean eat lunch with Sora and I?"
"Is it really ok?"
Makoto asks hopeful.
"Of course its ok! Come I will lead you to lunch."
My twin grabbed Makoto's hand softly and starts leading him away! I am here ya'know? I sigh in annoyance and start going after them so my idiot of a brother doesn't do anything to Makoto that he might regret.
I do catch up to them and we three walk to the cafeteria quite quickly because since its lunch time, its bound to be packed.
We make it to the cafeteria and see that it is in fact packed.
"Oh no...I forgot my money with grandmama. Looks like I'm going hungry hehe."
Makoto said sadly.
"I will buy you lunch."
I just said that! Those words came out of my mouth! I thought Roxas would say it but those words left my lips first. Correspondingly Roxas looks angry at me, hey he should have said something first and I didn't mean to say that, it just came out.
"Y-You really will? I-I couldn't ask you that. We only just met and I don't want you to sacrifice your own lunch for me."
He sounds actually sincere.
"Its really fine, I'm not sacrificing anything. I have enough for two."
He proceeds to hug me and I blush at the contact, his body pressed against mine feels good.
"Oh thank you very much! I will repay you Sora! Anything you want from me and I will do it in addiction to paying you back."
He will do anything I want!? If I was Roxas then I know he would have asked for a kiss or something but I'm not like that, I'm nothing like Roxas.
"J-Just the money will be enough."
"If you're sure. But Sora I still feel like I should do something for you to repay you back for your kindness."
"W-Well ummm, I can't think of anything."
"Well if you think of anything then please tell me."
I nod shyly thinking what Makoto could do for me, I know what I want him to do, his very kissable lips...ok I have to stop thinking like this.
"I-I certainly will now lets get some lunch."
They both nod at me but Roxas looks so mad at me right now, its not like Makoto has asked me on a date or anything.
We proceed to get the lunch and Makoto kept trying to get things that cost very little but I wouldn't have any of it so in the end I got him a good meal, he also kept thanking me to Roxas' ire. Hey he should have said something, its not my fault he is slow.
"Thank you again Sora."
He bowed to me again while I notice Roxas' eyes drift to Makoto's lower back...he is checking him out while he is bent over, my twin is sick!
"Like I said its ok."
"Thank you anyway!"
Roxas then takes his chance and links arms with Makoto! Sometimes he is socially clueless.
"R-Roxas I um, y-you are linking arms with me a-a-again."
Instead of responding he drags Makoto to our usual table, he really needs to knock off doing that.
I sigh and follow them and sit down next to Makoto while Roxas sits on his other side.
"So Makoto what type of girls do you like?"
Why would Roxas...oh I see. He is trying to find out if Makoto is gay without actually having to ask him about his sexual orientation. Smart Roxas.
"...I don't like girls like that...are you going to hate me now?"
So he is gay! I'm so ha...never mind. Roxas looks happy but then puts on a frown.
"I'm not going to hate you. I don't like girls like that either."
"So you are gay also?"
Makoto asks hopefully, Roxas responds with a happy nod. So Roxas got his wish then, he got the boy in the end...no Makoto hasn't stated that he even likes Roxas like that and even if he did I wouldn't mind, it isn't my choice.
"Sora are you gay?"
He asks me while looking at me and I do a little spit take. I can't say I am, I am gay but I can't tell him that with Roxas here. He would make fun of me or something.
"N-No I'm not gay. But I don't mind that you are since my twin is gay."
He then looks a little...sad? Did he expect me to say I'm gay? Is it obvious that I am? I don't think so but he still looks sad.
"I see. So Roxas is gay and you are straight? What a combo. Its too bad really..."
What's too bad? I want to ask that question but I best not.
"Oh Makoto do you have to go home straight away after school?"
Roxas asks that.
"W-Well no I don't have too go home straight away. Why do you ask?"
Makoto looks confused but I know what Roxas is going to say. He is going to say something like, go on a date with me or want to come home with me?
"So you don't have to go home?"
Roxas questions again and Makoto shakes his head.
"T-Then in that case do you perhaps want to come to my house for a bit?"
I knew it. He moves in so fast, this is exactly why he doesn't have a boyfriend yet. Makoto is most likely going to say no, if I was him I wouldn't go home with a sort of stranger.
"M-Maybe...Sora are you going to be there?"
He asks me that and I blush a little, so Makoto wants me to be there.
"A-After club I will be there."
I reply with a little stutter.
"S-So you are going to be there after your club?"
"Yes. Club finishes at five and I wont be long after that."
He nods to himself.
"Ok I will go to your house Roxas. B-But when we get there can I call my grandmama? She might worry about me if I'm not home straight away."
"Of course you can!"
That was Roxas happy reply. So this boy is going to be in my house...with Roxas.
"T-Thank you."
With that said we started eating lunch and a few minutes later Kairi and Riku come over to us, we do always eat lunch together after all.
"Hello again Sora, Roxas." Kairi said as the both sat down, she then looks at Makoto who promptly blushes in embarrassment I think, "Oh are you the new transfer student?"
"I-I am. Its nice to meet you, I'm Makoto."
"Its nice to meet you too! I'm Kairi and this sliver haired guy is Riku."
Riku then introduces himself to Makoto who did the same and we then started having our usual chats about random things like Riku's team or Kairi's home life with Namine or our lives but when it comes to Makoto's life...
"So Makoto how long have you lived in Destiny City?"
"A couple of weeks, ever since that...accident."
That was Makoto's sad reply to Kairi who became quiet a little.
"I'm sorry for mentioning it."
Kairi bowed but Makoto waved her off.
"It is fine."
"So who do you live with now?"
Kairi asked trying to change the mood but it didn't work.
"I live with grandmama. But I wont be here for long."
Kairi then asked why and Makoto explained that his grandmother is dying and will most likely be dead soon and how he will be going into care, by the end of it Kairi burst out crying and hugged Makoto tight.
"I am so sorry Makoto! I didn't know and for that to happen so soon after that tragic accident."
"Its ok Kairi and call me Mako. My friends...former friends called me that."
"Mako? Like a nickname then?"
Makoto proceeds to nod.
"Ok Mako! I will call you that...I actually like it. Mako sounds good."
"T-Thank you Kairi. Your name also sounds good, it rolls off the tongue, Kairi."
Those two laugh to each other, its good to know that he is getting along with them. Even if he isn't going to be here long, at least we can become friends.
"So Roxas do you still need help with your little plan?"
Kairi smirks.
"N-No not anymore. It worked out...or will work out soon enough."
Roxas stuttered.
"What plan Kairi?"
Riku is confused and I would be too if I was him.
"Oh Roxas just wanted help with getting a certain someone's attention."
Makoto and Riku both become confused.
"Who's? It must be a guy's right? Since he is gay."
Yes even Riku knows. He was actually the last to catch on when it was obvious from the beginning that Roxas was gay, I'm glad they haven't caught on to my own sexuality.
"Yes its a guy but I will tell you later. I can't say it in present company."
Riku still doesn't understand if the confused face is anything to go by.
"So...Roxas you like a guy?"
Makoto asks sadly.
"Y-Yes I do."
"If you d-don't mind me asking, who is it?"
"Its no one around here. Its someone far away."
It looks like Makoto accepts that answer and we all continue to eat our food peacefully, Makoto has really blended well with us. But its only temporally right? Since his grandmother has cancer, that means she will be gone from this world soon and Makoto will be taken from our lives.
"Makoto you really are coming to my house later?"
"I-I am. But you will have to tell me how to get home from there. Since I don't know this city, I don't even know my way from here actually."
He replied sheepishly.
"Yes ok! I take you home personally, so where is it that you live?"
"Umm, the road is called sunny shore road."
Did he just say that road! That's where we live!
"Seriously?"
Roxas asks and Makoto nods shyly.
"Yes I live on that road. I live at number 34 sunny shore road."
Number 34!? That's a really weird coincidence, we live at 30 sunny shore road, I had no idea that we live four doors down from him.
"Cool! We live on the same road!"
"Honestly? That's weird. What number do you live at then Roxas?"
Makoto asks Roxas while finishing off the food.
"Number 30."
"So we live so close to each other, we will be seeing lots of each other then. I'm happy about that Roxas, Sora."
Roxas and I blushed at how cutely he said that but I will never admit to it willingly.
"I'm also happy. We can walk home together everyday or even mom or dad could give you a lift to school with us since we live practically next to each other."
He is really freaking me out now. Roxas is never like this with anyone, is he smitten with Makoto? Certainly Makoto is cute and his body is also nice and since he is smaller than average then it only makes him look even cuter.
"Yes we could walk home from school everyday. But would your parents mind if I rode with you to school? It means waiting for me if I'm not ready and other things like that."
He asks a valid question, I'm sure mom and dad wouldn't mind but if I was him I would ask also.
"It would be ok. We are going in the same direction and everything. I don't see a problem with it, besides we are friends aren't we?"
"W-Well I would like to hope so. Even for a short time, I would like friends again."
Poor Makoto, it must be horrible knowing that at anytime his grandmother might pass away and he will be sent straight to an orphanage or foster family far away.
"Oh Mako we are friends, we are eating lunch and everything. Say would you like my number? That way we can talk anytime."
Kairi said that quickly and Riku looks a little jealous but he really doesn't need to be. Since Makoto is gay then I don't think Kairi is his type at all.
"You really want my number?"
"Yes! If its ok that is."
"Of course its ok! I'm glad that you would want my number."
They smile and exchange numbers then I realize that class starts soon.
"Hey guys we need to get going. Class starts in five minutes."
They all nod at me and once we have cleared our lunches away, we all head straight to our classes.
Besides being normal the classes pass by quick enough and now its the end of the day.
"So Sora we will see you at Roxas' and your home?"
Makoto asks me and I nodded shyly.
"See ya later bro. Makoto and I will miss you but we will find something to do wont we?"
Makoto nods but I don't think he knows what he is getting himself into.
"Yeah yeah. Be good Roxas. Don't scare Makoto with your little antics."
I playfully say and he pales while I smirk at him.
"S-Shut up Sora! Don't give him the wrong idea about me."
"Wrong idea Roxas? I would never give anyone a wrong impression of you."
He glares at me but then takes Makoto's hand tightly, he does know that's an invasion of personal space right? If they were dating then it would be fine but for people who only met this morning its a little too much.
"Whatever. Come Makoto lets go. See you later Sora."
"Goodbye Sora. See you later."
With a wave those two went off hand in hand. I then go and meet Namine at the club, although it shouldn't be called a club since it only has us as members. I even heard from a person on the student council that they might be cutting our club altogether.
I make my way to the club but my thoughts keep drifting to Makoto...such a nice boy he is. He is so polite, better than anyone I have ever met. He also has a very nice body...not that I was staring at him all day.
I finally make it to the clubroom and go inside.
"Hey Namine."
I greeted as I sat down, she looks up from the drawing she is doing and smiles.
"Hello Sora, have a good day?"
"Y-Yes I did. Did you? Oh and mom said hi."
I question her politely as I take out my own drawing, even though it is a photography club as well as the art club, we don't do much photography unless its to take pictures the school asks us to take.
"It was ok. But I heard we have a new student. And say hi back for me."
"Ok. Also yes that's right. His name is Makoto and he is in my class."
She nods to herself as she continues drawing.
"Sora this boy, what is he like?"
She asks politely.
"He seems nice but he isn't staying long."
"Oh? Whys that?"
I then proceed to tell her about Makoto and his family situations, maybe I shouldn't have told her about his life since he isn't here and he never actually gave me permission but I know Namine wouldn't tell anyone.
"That's so sad. I feel for the poor boy."
"Yes it is sad. However I will personally make his time here a happy one. And who knows maybe someone from a family around here might adopt him so he can continue coming to school with us."
"It could happen." she said happily but then her whole outlook changed, "But Sora. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I was you. Adopting someone as old as Makoto is, it doesn't happen often. People tend to adopt babies or young children, not 15 year olds."
I nod sadly, I know she is right. People do adopt babies and young children, Makoto will just end up in an orphanage most likely. But I don't know if Makoto is 15, he must be around 14 or 15 to be in our class.
"I know Namine but I can always hope right?"
"Yes everyone can always have hope, and who knows, you might be right and he will get adopted by a nice family. Just keep hoping but don't get your hopes up."
"I wont, anyway lets get to drawing!"
She moves her head happily and for the next few hours, Namine and I drew and drew until it reached five. That is the time the club finishes. It doesn't seem long from 3.15 but it is better than nothing. I can't draw at home since Roxas and Ven keep bugging me and I can't concentrate properly.
"Well I guess that's it for today. I will see you soon Sora."
Namine said and once she had gathered her stuff together, she left quite quickly.
I ponder around the room for a few minutes before collecting my own stuff and heading home.
The walk home isn't a very interesting one, living in this city isn't so bad but at night it becomes a little rowdy, that's why I'm grateful to live on the quieter side of the city.
It takes me about twenty minutes to get home and all I want to do is see Makoto again...
"Hello Sora, did you have a nice day sweetie?"
My mom asked me as I stepped through the door.
"Y-Yes I had a nice day. Is Roxas here?"
I ask her and she nods.
"Yes he is here with a boy. He whispered to me that he was his boyfriend."
"Oh did he now?"
My mother nods at me.
"Mom Makoto isn't going out with Roxas. Roxas hopes to be dating him but as far as I'm aware they aren't together."
Or I hope they aren't anyway.
"Really now that Roxas. Saying things about someone like that. When will I ever learn? Anyway I presume you are going to join them upstairs?"
I move my head slowly.
"Good then you can take up these cookies I made. And also take this milk, I mean what's cookies without milk?"
Yay! Moms cookies! I love moms cookies! They are the tastiest in the universe!
"Ok mom!"
I happily take the tray that contains the milk and cookies from her, I dumped my bag on the floor in the living room and head upstairs, straight to Roxas' room.
I knock on the door lightly and after a few seconds I hear a "Come in" I do just that and once I do get in I see that Roxas and Makoto are on his bed, not that close too each other but still...
"Hey Sora. What took you so long?"
Makoto said with his nice sounding voice however Roxas takes in a deep breath and sighs at me.
"Hey I brought milk and cookies."
"Moms milk and cookies?"
"Yes moms."
I spoke out with a little irritation. Just because I burnt the cookies once, doesn't mean I would do it again.
"Great~" Roxas sang, "Makoto wait until you have moms legendary chocolate chip cookies!"
"Legendary chocolate chip cookies!?"
He sounds happy to me.
"Yes they are famous around this house. They are the best in the universe!"
Makoto gains stars around his eyes.
"They sound wonderful!"
Roxas nods his head as do I. Moms cookies are nice, along with milk they are great. Its a perk of being her son.
I walk over to the bed and plop on the bed next to Makoto. I hold the tray out for them and of course my idiot brother takes one immediately but Makoto looks reluctant.
"Its ok Makoto." I started, "You can have one, plus you don't have to pay me for these."
He laughed a little and took a cookie and brought it too his cute little mouth. He opens his mouth wide and takes a bite, he can open wide that's for sure...I really have to stop now. I'm not attracted to Makoto, besides at anytime I could never see him again.
"Yummy!"
"See I told you." Roxas boasted, "They are the best in the universe."
"They are good, just like mom used to make."
He started off happily then he became a little sad.
"Is something wrong Makoto?"
I asked him.
"N-No. I'm just thinking about my parents. I just miss them so much...but I shouldn't be talking about them. It will only upset me."
"Y-Yes that's right. Say Makoto tomorrow at school, are we eating lunch together again?"
Roxas spoke out.
"Hmm, I don't know. I will certainly take it into consideration."
Makoto smiled at Roxas sweetly who puffed out his cheeks.
"Oh come on Makoto. Don't tease me like that."
"Sorry Roxas. But you are too cute when you blush in embarrassment!...Wait I didn't mean to say that, I'm sorry."
"No don't apologize." Roxas waved his hands frantically infront of his face, "Its my fault for saying you're a tease."
"But I said it."
The air then became a little heavy as we fell into a awkward silence.
It has been five minutes since then and no one has talked, again like with Kairi Riku and I, I suddenly feel like a third wheel again.
"Are you settling in well Makoto?"
I said to break us out of this awful awkwardness.
"I am I think. Its still a little unsettling. It wont last, I will be going when grandmama dies which is soon then I will be in a different place altogether. On a pleasant note, Kairi and you guys have been nice too me. I felt awful this morning because I don't like being the new kid but you both, along with Kairi have been very welcoming."
"That's good. Its not good being the new kid, but you are ok now right?"
Roxas said and Makoto bobbed his head.
"I am. I like this school better than my old one."
"Yes it is a good school. As it says in our school motto, nothing is impossible as long as you have your dreams."
"That is a good motto."
Makoto said to us.
"Anyway it is getting late so..."
"Why don't you stay for dinner?"
Roxas said cutting off Makoto. Makoto looks shocked by that.
"O-Oh I don't know. Grandmama might be expecting me, but then again I don't really want to go home yet. Grandmama will understand...but is it ok if I call her?"
"Yes of course it is."
Makoto nodded in appreciation at me and leaves the room. As soon as he does Roxas looks at me with harsh eyes.
"What?"
I ask him confused.
"Why are you ruining my time with Makoto?"
"I'm not." I defended, "I'm just trying to help you get with him before its too late."
"I'm sorry Sora. I thought for a minute there that you might actually be gay and have feelings for my boyfriend."
He laughed to himself and I gave a nervous chuckle.
"But he can't leave yet! He only just got here and his grandmother is terminally ill. Can't we do something?"
"Like what?" I ask, "Do you have a cure for cancer?"
"Obviously I don't but there must be something we can do."
"Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do. We can't cure cancer and we can't bring back the dead."
I said to myself more than Roxas.
Just then Makoto came back.
"Grandmama said it was ok since I'm only a few houses away. She wants me back by eight though."
"That's good." Roxas stands up, "I will go and tell mom about our guest."
I nod and he exits the room leaving me alone with a nervous Makoto who keeps taking shy looks at me.
"Makoto..."
"Mako."
He said to me and I'm perplexed. Why did he say his own name.
"Call me Mako. We are friends and I like it when my friends call me Mako."
"R-Right so Mako I just want to say something on Roxas' behalf." he nods at me, "I want to say that he isn't such a bad guy. He is just nervous around boys like you."
"Boys like me?"
He confusedly asks.
"Yeah cute boys like you."
He blushes cutely at me.
"I'm cute? I never even considered myself to be cute before. You know Sora I think Roxas is cute. Don't tell him I said that. I don't want to start anything with him."
He said Roxas is cute yet he doesn't want to start anything with him?
"Why may I ask?"
"Because I will be leaving at some point in the near future and if I start anything with him then it will be harder to leave. And I couldn't hurt him like that. I can't hurt people like that. Even only knowing him for a day, I still couldn't do that to him."
Wow so Mako is a nice boy. He cares about Roxas, even though they only met this morning.
"That's really nice Mako."
"Thank you Sora, plus there is someone else I find cute but I can't say who that is."
Someone else?
"Y-You can't tell me?"
"No I can't tell you. I don't think you would like me if I said who it was."
"Why? Is it Riku?"
I ask him while smiling.
"N-No. It isn't Riku. Besides he is Kairi's boyfriend and I don't go for taken guys. Actually I have never had a relationship with a guy before...I do want one...but I can't yet."
He is the same as Roxas and myself, I haven't had a relationship with a guy and neither has Roxas.
"Roxas hasn't had a relationship either."
"So Roxas hasn't had one...what about you Sora? Ever had a girlfriend?"
I shake my head at him.
"N-No I haven't had a girlfriend."
"Do you like Kairi then?"
Kairi. I used to like her before I found out I was gay. But now I only like her as a friend.
"No I don't like her like that. She is a pretty girl but I don't have any romantic feelings for her. Besides even if I did I couldn't pursue anyway since she is with Riku."
"They do make a cute couple."
The door then opened and Roxas came in.
"Mom said you can stay for dinner." after sitting down he looks at us, "So what did you talk about while I was gone?"
"We talked about Sora liking Kairi."
Mako replied before I could.
"Yes my bro does like Kairi."
"Used too, as in past tense. Now I don't like anyone and I don't want a relationship with anyone."
I defended myself.
"Yes sure you don't. Is it maybe Namine that you like?"
"N-No! I only see her as a friend."
That is true, I do only see her as a friend. She is someone who shares an interest in drawing. But that's all.
"Oh Sora." Roxas then turns to Makoto, "I know you only moved here not to long ago but is there anyone you like."
Mako blushes bright red and shakes his head.
"N-No there isn't anyone I like. I mean I only just started school and only interacted with you, Sora and Kairi and Riku. So the answer is no, I don't have a crush on anyone."
"O-Oh I see."
Roxas sounds sad.
"Is there anyone you like Roxas?"
Roxas smirks at Mako.
"There is a cute boy that I like. I just met him today in fact."
Way to be subtle Roxas.
"Really? Who is it?"
Mako is soooooo clueless.
"W-Well lets just say that he is a nice boy."
"So you like some nice boy...is he really nice?"
Roxas looks Mako up and down and nods to himself.
"Yes he looks incredible beautiful. Such nice skin, nice hair. Also a very nice little body and nice beautiful eyes. Yes everything about this boy is beautiful."
"Well whoever it is must be incredibly lucky to have made someone like you fall in love with him."
"No. I'm the lucky one."
So neither of them are going to say. Mako doesn't know its him and Roxas is too shy to do it. He isn't usually shy but it seems he is shy with Mako.
"Roxas. I could help you with your love interest."
Mako suddenly said to our shocks.
"R-Really?"
Mako responds with a strong nod.
"But Makoto I just don't know. I couldn't put you through anything like that."
"Its no trouble. And call me Mako."
Roxas blushed again, seriously how many times can he blush at Mako?
"O-Ok Mako. Anyway like I said, you can't help me."
"Why?"
Mako asks confused. He is a little clueless but still cute.
"B-Because you don't know him."
That's completely wrong since its Mako that he has a crush on.
"O-Oh I see. But if there is anything I can do then please let me know, ok?"
He responds with a nod and then we started having a conversation about school and everything that came to mind. We learned that Mako's birthday is next month and he is going to be turning 15 so Roxas and I send a secret nod to each other, if he is still here with us then we are going to throw him a surprise birthday party. And if he isn't then we will give him gifts to remember us by.
"BOYS! DINNER IS READY!"
Mom shouted for us and like good children we three went down the stairs and once again Mako found himself sat between us.
"Thank you very much for having me here."
Mako said to my mom and dad who waved him off.
"Its not a problem. We are happy to have a guest, aren't we dear?"
Mom directed the last part at dad who nodded happily. We then started chowing down but Mako just looks at the food, it is a little strange. I mean at lunch he kept asking if it was ok for me to buy him lunch then before with the cookies and now with dinner?
"You can eat Mako."
Roxas says to him nicely and he looks surprised.
"So I can eat this then? Ok thank you."
Strange. Anyway he does start eating happily and so does the rest of the family. About half way through my other brother Ven comes home and sits with us at the dinner table and looks at Mako questioningly.
"Roxas is this the boy you kept proclaiming as your future boyfriend?"
I face fault at that. Was I the last one too find out?
"F-F-F-F-F-F-F-Future b-b-b-b-b-b-boyfriend!?"
Mako spluttered out, very nervously I might add.
Responding to that Roxas became very nervous also.
"S-Shut up Ven! No it isn't! He is just a friend!"
Ven smirked at Roxas and rolled his eyes.
"Sure if you say so." Ven then turned his attention to Mako, "Anyway its nice to meet you. I'm Ventus, Ven for short. I'm the idiot twins older brother."
"I-Its very nice too meet you Ventus. I'm Makoto, but my friends call me Mako for short."
"I see. So Makoto have you been friends with my brothers long?"
"N-No. We just became friends today. It was my first day at school so I only met them today."
"So you're the new kid?"
Mako responds with a shyest nod I have ever seen.
"I-I am the new kid..."
Hm? He trailed off a little at the end, oh well.
"You know Roxas is gay right?"
"O-Oh yes I know. But so am I."
The room became a little silent at that.
"I shouldn't have said anything. I'm sorry I will go now."
Mako then stood up and quickly left to our confusion.
"Roxas, Sora. Go after him you idiots."
Ven said and we both nod to each other and run outside after him.
We finally catch up to him as he is about to open his front door.
"Mako why did you leave like that?"
Roxas asks and he turns to us sadly.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything about me being that way. It would give your family the wrong impression about us. Not that I don't like either of you but when I become friends with guys, the parents always seem to think I'm just after their sons for sex when I'm still a virgin, I mean I've not even kissed a guy yet."
"Mako, our parents and brother wont think that. We don't think you're some slut that is after either of us for sex."
I say softly.
"O-Oh. Now I feel stupid. Sorry about this guys, I tend to overreact to situations were I feel uncomfortable. Anyway thank you for today you two. It was really good and you both made me feel welcome. To that I am truly grateful."
He then bowed to us and I blushed again at him, sorry Roxas but you might have some competition for Mako's heart.
"It was really great meeting you Mako. Are you coming with us to school tomorrow?"
"If you want me too!"
That was his happy reply to Roxas.
"Great! So see you tomorrow!"
"Yes. Goodnight Roxas, Sora."
After bowing to us again he went into his own house and then Roxas turned to me.
"I told you I could make Mako fall for me."
Now I'm truly confused. When did Mako say that liked Roxas that way? As I recall, all he said was that liked us, but he didn't say he was sexually attracted to him.
"How do you figure that one?"
"Oh my dear Sora. You know Mako has fallen for me. It is obvious in his rosy red cheeks when he looked at me. He has fallen in love with me and it will be only a matter of time before we actually get together."
My twin, the delusional one and I'm more of the down to earth one.
"Sure, whatever you say Roxas. But just don't force yourself on him now."
He actually looks offended by my small joke.
"I wouldn't force him into anything!"
"Ok Roxas if you say so."
He puffs out his cheeks and walks away to our house, I was about to do the same when I hear a voice.
"Sora!" I look around but I don't see anyone that just said my name, "Sora up here!"
I follow the sound upwards to see Mako standing at the window on the second floor.
"Mako what are you doing?"
"I wanted to say goodnight one last time. I see Roxas has already gone, please say goodnight to him also."
"I will. Goodnight Mako."
He smiles cutely at me.
"Goodnight Sora. See you tomorrow."
"Yes see you tomorrow."
With a wave and a smile he closes the window. Oh no, I am falling for him. I can't fall for him! I just can't! I can't do that to Roxas. He has said that he wants Mako and I can't hurt my brother like that, I hope I can suppress these growing feelings for him. If I can't then I will just have to keep trying. Mako is a cute boy though and he is really kind and shy.
I just decide to go home and I will see Mako tomorrow.
AN: Well that's the first chapter, please no flames, this is just for fun after all.
