Sora bent down to the water and dipped his hand in to feel the coolness of it. It was November and he didn't know how cold it could get in Radiant City at this time of year. Being on the islands all this time and during the winters it never got even half this cold. I hope Roxas is finished with some dinner, I'm starving. Sora and his brother had moved to Radiant City to pursue their college degrees as well as soak up some city life as well. It's already been a month since we got here and I'm still not used to the weather. Maybe I should stop by Axel's café to get a drink to warm me up. The two came here with very different goals. Sora was a great writer and was hoping to be a novelist at one point and travel to many different places, while Roxas was attending culinary school to become a chef. Good, I'm here, it's getting late. Sora got of his motorcycle walked into the café and was relieved to see that not that many people were left and he could leave. The café was really small, but it was very trendy and it had that warm feeling.
"Hey Cloud, can you get me something quick and warm, Roxas hates me being late all the time, and I can't help it."
"Sure buddy, but the way you're dressed, I'm surprised that you're cold."
Sora wore some dark blue jeans and a grey hoodie that was already over two t-shirts, and had still on some biker gloves.
"Yeah well I'm not used to the weather here and you know how Zack can be about work. I mean, it's just a convenience store and he treats me like if I drop something, the place is going to explode!" Cloud chuckled at the thought of Zack being a hard manager. He remembered when they were kids when Zack was always the fun and care-free one.
"Well, maybe something's bothering him, I'll talk to him later and maybe he might give you a break." Sora looked thankful at Cloud's proposal, and even more when Axel came out with his coffee.
"Anything else for my dear childhood friend?" Axel was always like that toward Roxas. Being three years older than him, he treated Sora like a little kid, even though they were adults at this point.
"I'm glad you're happy that you see us again after all this time, but you should be like that to Roxas, I'm mean he is the younger one." Sora was hoping that that would get Axel to stop bugging him whenever he came to his café, called Stargrazers, but it didn't work.
"Sorry Sora, but as long as least one of you are near me, I can't help it. Both of you look so adorable and fragile!" Axel looked like he was going to glomp the 20yr. Old, if Cloud didn't intervene.
"Look Sora, I think you should stop by when Axel is in a less horny mood. Or bring Roxas over here so you can get a break." Cloud chuckled at what he said, and Roxas paid for his drink and was about to leave but Axel stopped him behind the counter by grabbing his arm and said, "Bring Roxy over Sora, he'll probably be more fun than you though." Axel pouted as Sora walked out of the store.
"You're just mad because I'm the straight one of the two. Besides, I see the way you look at chicks, you just fake being gay." Sora then ran out of the store, leaving a sad Axel and a disappointed Cloud, since he had to deal with Axel.
Sora drove down the streets of Raidiant, eventually making one last stop before getting home. I forgot to get Modern Warfare 3 last time I was here. Probably should get something for my laptop so I've got something to 'help' me when I have writers block. He walked into the empty Gamestop when a shorter girl approached him that looked like she worked here.
"He Xion, or should I say, Stardustshiner1991, is Riku here, or did he leave?" Xion looked over Sora's back, probably to see if Roxas was there, but slightly frowned with his absence.
"How come every time you come here, its Riku this and Riku that. You're the straight one, right?" Xion looked like she got the upper hand, when Sora remarked,
"I'm just here to pick up my reserved copy of MW3. Besides, I'm the straight one, though Axel won't believe me, or anyone in that matter." Xion and Sora nodded when Riku stepped out of the storage area.
"You here for your pre-order, or are you here to flirt with the employees?" Xion and Sora blushed and Sora was going to speak up in response when Riku said,
"I'm just kidding Sor, I've got it behind the counter. Get over here." Xion was stacking some Xbox360 games while Sora went over to the main counter while Riku rummaged behind the counter.
"Here we are. You and Roxas going to be online when you get home? It's only been a week and me, Xion, Ventus, and Namine are already 30 levels up from pwning people." Sora gave a low whistle and said,
"Sure, if you tell Xion that I'm not gay." Sora pointed his thumb over to Xion, who heard the remark and stuck out her tongue.
"Anything else before Xi-Xi gets too angry and pulls out here imaginary AK and shoots you with imaginary bullets." Riku did that last part with 'finger quotes' which got the employee even angrier.
"I'm good, maybe a copy of Crysis and I'm all set." Riku quickly got a copy from the rack and put it on the counter besides the other game.
"You know Sora, you shouldn't play so many games while you guys are still in college." Riku said that as he totaled up Sora's purchase. "That will be 79.98."
"Whoa Riku, but I guess since it's a new release it must cost a lot, here you go." Sora handed him a bunch of 20s and Riku gave him the change. "See you online, Keywielder00."
"Yeah, if I can convince Namine's 'terror sister' to let her play." Riku and Sora started to laugh as Sora left the store and rode his motorcycle home.
"You know Xion, you should tell him that you like him. We're not kids."
"I know Riku, Roxas likes me more, but he's-"
"I know Xi, let's close up so Kingdom Hearts can assemble."
Sora rode home, humming Stereo Hearts byGym Class Heroes when he thought of Roxas. Even when they were kids, Sora knew his younger brother was gay. When they were 7, he would always hug and kiss him, and always wanted to sleep in his bed. On Valentine's day, he gave a valentine to Axel, and in front of the whole 1st grade and their teacher, kissed him. Sora and Roxas attended a Christian school, and he remembered the teacher telling Roxas that homosexuality was wrong and he should apologize to God. Of course for recess, Roxas was kissing Axel in the bathroom and Sora was there to see it. As they got older and Axel grew out of the affection, Roxas turned out to really be gay. Not that Sora or anyone minded, but for Roxas, it was harder to find love. Of course he hid it from their parents, and when they moved to Raidiant City, the first thing Roxas yelled out was,
"Raidiant City, I'm Roxas Sakuraba, and I love men!"
Sora reached their apartment complex and started walking up the stairs, when he knocked on the door of his teammate, Namine Misaki.
Unfortunately, it was the last person he wanted to see, her older sister, Aqua.
"Oh hi Sora, are you here to tell Namine or Ventus to go online or something? They're playing video games in their room." Aqua was never one for gaming, but unlike her brother Terra or her younger siblings, she opposed it. She looked very pissed about the time, even though it was only 8 P:M.
"Yeah, can you tell them. This is the response I would be expecting from someone who works at a bookstore." Aqua
"Yeah well, it's glad to see my brother and sister waste their time, being gamers." Sora frowned a little and said bye.
Aqua took a peep into the two's room, and said the three words that always set Namine off, "Sora came bye." Namine dropped her controller and rushed behind Aqua to see if her 'crush' was still there.
"That did it, nice one Aqua."
"Aqua! How come you didn't tell Sora I was okay to talk, you know I like him." Namine looked really disappointed.
"Namine the guy's 5 years older than you. You're not even through high school." Aqua was about to say another thing when Ven interrupted them,
"Namine, Riku just IM'ed me. We're teaming up in half an hour and said that it's going to last all night. Get the snacks out." Before Aqua could even finish for a second time, Namine closed the door.
Sora was outside grabbing his keys from his pocket, with no rush. Maybe Kairi dropped by to say hi. She could stay for dinner and- but before he could finish his thought, he heard some rummaging from inside the apartment. Wonder what it is. Probably it's Roxas getting something to eat. But when he opened the door, he was shocked to see what the two people inside were doing. His brother, who was supposedly gay, was kissing Kairi.
"Roxas!" The two stopped their lovemaking and they looked at Sora, who was furious.
"Why are you kissing my girlfriend!"
