A:N/ Hey guys and welcome to this lovely little new story of mine! I'm warning you, there's gonna be a drama bomb or two dropped in here but what else do you expect from me? ;)
Here's some info you should know: If you've wandered into this little fiction not knowing what I write and what I do, and you don't like yaoi ( Boy x Boy for those who don't know ) then you should most likely leave cause there's gonna be tons of it. X'D Sorry guys. But, if you've never read a boy x boy fic and are looking for something new, this is most likely for you! And if you love boy x boy fics, then this is 100 % blushudesu for you okay?
Parings: Potential AkuRoku and SoRiku, AkuSora on the side.
Honestly guys, this is another one of my "Just Wing It" stories, so I'm not quite sure how it'll turn out but most of my "Just Wing It" fics usually turn out well so let's see what happens!
I'm also gonna do a little advertising: If you like AkuRoku, go read my Orange Juice fic cause there's most likely gonna be a lot more of that specific pairing in that specific story sooner than this one.
Grab a cup of cocoa and enjoy!
Disclaimer: If I owned Kingdom Hearts, Tetsuya Nomura would be writing fanfiction. Jus sayin'
Introduction
"Are you sure you wanna go through with this?"
"H-Huh?"
On that cold winter's day, I was going to attempt what I never thought I would have to do just to get closer to him. I almost felt guilty thinking about or plan, but maybe it would be okay. Maybe he would realise that it was really him that I wanted. But Axel had made me aware that we were taking a huge risk with this. But I don't think either of us cared at the time; We were both just slaves to our love. And that's exactly why the older redhead agreed to it.
"The plan, kid. Are you really sure about this?" Axel pulled me out of my thoughts and raised a thin red brow at me. I gulped and nodded ever so slowly, having to think about it first. I mean, what if Riku didn't get it? What if it damaged our relationship in general? I didn't want to lose being able to stare into that mezmirising aquamarine gaze everyday. It really was an honor just being able to be friends with him. But I so selfishly wanted more...
"That's not very convincing, kiddo." Axel sighed and ran a slender hand through thick red spikes, "I mean, at first I was real leery on the fact that it's your twin brother I'm trying to win here, but now I'm more concerned about you and Riku. I'm not completely heartless, you know. It's just, you're a good kid and all."
"I'll be fine." I spoke softly, "I-I mean, it'll be fine, okay? You know Riku, and I know Roxas. It'll be okay." I tried to smile up at the tall senior, but I could feel it breaking. It had been hard to smile recently, and it felt odd. I was changing at a rapid pace and I didn't like it.
Axel eyed me up and down for a minute and let out another sigh before shaking his head, "If you say so. And I promise I won't be too rough. I mean, you are still pretty cute." The redhead grinned and I blushed and rolled my eyes.
"Ready?" He asked gently and reached for my hand. I inhaled deeply and succumbed to my thoughts for a moment. It's just temporary... Until... He notices... Besides, me and Axel are just helping each other out here. It's totally platonic. Don't get yourself too upset. "Ready." I intertwined my small fingers with the redhead's lengthier ones. 3..2...1... Go. And just like that, we walked into the cafeteria together, hands held tightly.
It only took one minute for people to start whispering. Girls mumbled things to each other and giggled at our presences mockingly. Most guys look at us with disgust, some mumbled the small but hurtful word, 'faggots.' My heart was beating faster and faster with every step, and Axel glanced at me from the side as if to say, 'It's okay. Ignore them.' I knew everything would be okay because Axel was my friend now, after all. We'd get through it together. This was only of the plan anyway.
Axel was one of the most popular kids Destiny Public High had ever met; everyone adored him. And now, with people staring at him so hatefully, I knew that he was experiencing pain too. That's why I had to be strong. Fairy tales always began wth a sad introduction.
Now it was time for step two; Find a seat and wait. Axel and I sat at a table right in the middle of the cafeteria, where everyone could see us. It would be easier for Riku and Roxas to spot us that way. I nervously laid my hand on the table and Axel laid his on top of mine. I stared into his piercing green eyes and he lipped, 'Doing good' over to me. I nodded and glanced over to the door way. More and more students were bustling in, and I knew Roxas and Riku would be bursting through those doors at any moment.
Sure enough, I spotted blonde cowlicks out of the crowd; They were for sure my brother's. I saw Axel's cheek flush pink and then I knew that this was only gonna get more difficult and confusing. No turning back now... Be strong. I watched my brother look around the room for me, and he had spotted me, I surprisedly watched as those blue orbs widened to the size of dinner plates. The blonde furrowed his eye brows at me and simply mouthed, 'Why are you with him?'
Axel just shook his head at me, probably wanting me to leave it be. I nodded at him and closed my eyes before returning my own blue gaze to my twin. I just shook my head, and hopefully he understood because he stormed off towards the lunch line. Often it was hard to read my brother's emotions, even after 15 years of being by his side all the time.
Riku... Where are you...?
Since Riku hadn't come yet, we went to Step 3: Affection. I pulled a blue bento box out of my school bag and smiled, "I made this~" I placed it in the center of the table and pulled out a pair of chopsticks. "S-Say ah~" I blushed and stared into the older boy's eyes again. He smirked in unison and opened his mouth wide enough to take a bite, "Ah~" he chuckled and locked his fingers with mine again. I lifted a piece of rice ball to his lips and he consumed it gently. We didn't look away from each other's eyes for a moment's notice; It seemed more real that way anyway. A few 'ew's' were recieved from the crowd, but Axel simply took the chopsticks from me with his free hands and grinned, "It's really good. Your turn~"
"A-Ah." I couldn't help but laugh and Axel fed me some more of the sticky rice. For acting, I felt like this was actually quite enjoyable. It would be normal if we weren't holding hands. I couldn't help but think of my younger sister Selphie in this matter; She would have made the scene more romantic than it actually was if we were being platonic about it. And she was the only one that knew I was gay besides Axel and now obviously my brother who was gaping at us.
Axel chuckled at my blush, "You really are cute, you know." The man crept closer to my face and whispered into my ear so no one else would hear, "Riku isn't here yet... Should we just initiate into the final step? What do you think kiddo?" We were both in drama club together; He was the best actor out of our group, so I knew he woud be able to make the whole situation believable, but... This was overwhelming.
"Y-Yeah..." I whispered back and he stood up on the table with a cocky grin, pulling me up with him. Now, everyone was staring intensely, either in disgust or curiosity. Axel pulled me close, allowing his hands to drop down to my hips. I wrapped my arms loosely around his neck and just kept staring straight on into his eyes. And before I knew it, the pyro had pressed his lips softly against mine, making my whole face heat up like never before.
I returned the kiss gently before slowly fluttering my eyes shut. Axel did the same, pulling me so close that our chests were touching. The kisses went from light to deep in almost an instant. Our tongues danced with each other, his exploring every inch of my mouth, mine fighting against his in a passionate battle. And when I had opened my eyes again, Riku was standing there, mouth gaping wide open next to Roxas, who's cheeks were flushed a bright red.
"Sora, come with me!" They both shouted in unison at me and me and Axel broke apart almost instantly. The tall redhead stood there scratching the back of his neck awkwardly and mouthed at me one last time, 'Go. Finish the plan.' I nodded and stepped off of the table.
If I had only known what I'd gotten myself into.
