Meet the Bachelors

Sitting on a lazy boy recliner. Roxas gazed out the open window catching the cool mid summer breeze. Looking over the vast amount of land that belonged to his soon to be kingdom. Letting out a sigh of displeasure, he got up from the window chair, crossing the room towards his king sized bed. The blond flopped backwards, collapsing on the mattress, hugging on one of his throw pillows.

"sigh… why of all people, does it have to be my responsibility to take the throne?" Roxas whined tracing the little crowns on the throw pillow he was cuddled with. "dad is still alive and kicking, why should he be retiring now?… THIS IS REDICULOUS!" Roxas yelled throwing the pillow across the room, hitting the wall. Suddenly, his bedroom door was opening slowly, until a patch of brown spiky hair popped into the room.

"oniie san? Are you alright?" Roxas looked up to see his twin brother at the door.

"no Sora, I'm not alright." Roxas replied, crossing his arms.

"do you want to talk about it?" Sora said hesitantly. Roxas looked up again and nodded for his brother to sit down on the bed. Sora walked over and sat on the bed sheepishly.

"it's this whole throne business. I don't want to be king." Roxas spoke once more. "I know you're the one who wants to be king, why didn't dad just pick you?" Sora lowered his head, his eyes a daze. Roxas' features softened, loosening his crossed arms. "I don't think I'm ready for this."

Sora looked up once more and crawled over to his twin, wrapping his arms around the others neck. Trying to comfort Roxas as best he could.

"daddy thinks you're the leader type, and I'm the follower." Roxas was silent for a while. He was about to speak when one of the servants came walking into the room. Her fox tail swaying left to right. Her ears lowered. Fixing her black and white maids uniform she looked at the two princes and finally spoke.

"Prince Roxas nee? King Cloud has four people he would like you to meet nee." Roxas looked at the maid then nodded.

"tell my dad I'll be down in a bit." the kitsune maid nodded adding.

"King Cloud also said you must look presentable too nee." Roxas made a heavy sigh shooing the maid out of the room. The fox maid sprinted out of the room with another nee, closing the door on the way out. Sora got up from the bed walking towards the walking closet.

"oniie san, I'll help you with your clothes." Sora said, searching through the closet, trying to find a decent out fit for Roxas to present himself for the guests.

"you don't have to do that Sora." Roxas blurted out, hopping off the bed walking towards the closet. Sora turned around holding up a silk blue vest, and a fully white shirt and pants.

"here you go Roxas." the brunet announced giving his twin the attire for the afternoon. "I'll take my leave now." he added exiting the room closing the door behind, leaving Roxas to change into the outfit given to him.

Mean while, down in the dinning hall, four men sat along the table awaiting the princes arrival. At the very end of the table sat King Cloud.

"when is he coming? I'm anxious to see him." said one of the four men. His hair was blond, with cat ears that stuck out and a black beanie cap. He wore a white sleeveless cloak that went to his ankles. Another one that sat next to him, was a little bit younger, but spoke up to him.

"he's probably still trying to prepare for what is to come Seifer." this one had blond hair as well, his attire was based on a cameo style, with out sleeves itself. Just across the table sat a platinum blond man who seemed to have silver wolf ears and tail to go along, with an all black garb that seemed to stand out from his hair.

"hm hm, he seems delicious if he's taking this long." he muttered under his breath, wagging his silver tail with excitement. The young blond perked up from the half wolfs mutters.

"what was that sir?" the boy asked. The platinum blond answered with a,

"nothing, nothing. Just yawning." that was indeed his excuse.

"Riku stop making excused." said the last of the four men at the table. His hair was a fiery red, that seemed to stand out above all the other men. Under his eyes were little diamond marks accenting his emerald green eyes. He wore a black cloak that covered his real attire for no one to see.

"don't worry gentlemen, the prince will be down any minute now." announced Cloud. He looked over at the fox maid who had returned earlier from her trip to the young princes room. Cloud gestured the young kitsune girl over to his side. She followed swaying her tail once again.

"what is taking Roxas so long ms. Jowey?" Cloud mumbled with a growling tone to his voice. The maid flinched slightly but answered.

"he's said he was getting ready when I left him nee. Maybe he's having trouble with his clothes nee." Cloud nodded and responded,

"if he's not down here in five minutes, go up to his room to see what he is doing. And that'll be all." ms. Jowey nodded and went back to her spot with another nee.

Suddenly, there was footsteps that seemed to tap on the marble floor. The tapping echoed through the entire dinning area. All four men that sat at the table looked in the direction the sound was coming from and stood up before the prince. Roxas wasn't all that impressed, rolling his eyes and sitting down next to the cameo blond that was about his age. The king stood up from his chair beckoning Roxas to sit in it.

"Roxas sit here, you are the topic of this afternoon and you should be in the center for everyone to see." Roxas mumbled in protest but got up any way and sat in his fathers seat.

"now, lets get started shall we?" Cloud said aloud, pacing around the table. "Roxas, there has been a decision made that you will be king. But in order to be king you have to get married to someone of royal blood as well. But since you don't take any interest in women, luckily there are these lucky men who are willing to have your hand in marriage." Cloud gestured towards the four guests. "we have Seifer from neko-utopia." pointing to the half cat prince. " Hayner of Twilight kingdom." another point to the young cameo blond. "Riku from the Destiny islands." gestured towards the wolf like platinum blond. "and Axel, a foreigner from The World That Never Was." Walking past the red headed cloaked figure, who glanced a dazed at Roxas with a gentle smile across his face.

Roxas was silent after the introduction of the meeting until he got up from his seat, knocking the chair over.

" so your basically having some stupid bachelor contest going on?! I refuse to marry any of these people! If I want to marry, I want it to be my choice of someone I like. I don't even know them!" after Roxas' outburst, he started to barge out of the dinning area. The four bachelors were taken back by the princes statement. Cloud growled under his breath but turned around to face the bachelors.

"don't fret, he just need's time to get used to you all. Now, ms. Jowey here will take you to your rooms to get situated. Make yourselves at home." ms. Jowey pranced forward and getting the four's attention.

"follow me to you rooms nee! You wouldn't want to get lost in Strife castle nee." the fox maid turned around starting to walk up the stairs to the bachelors rooms.

"something tells me this is going to be a very interesting time here in strife castle nee." Ms. Jowey thought to herself making a mischievous smirk to herself. The others followed behind her, talking among themselves.
