Chapter One: Band Fag (1)
-----------------
Sora Hikaru walked through the halls of Destiny Hearts High. "I hate how people treat me. I mean...last I checked school was supposed to be..I dunno, safe. But I, however, get beat up every day for being..." He shuddered. "A band fag..."
"Sora?" A shy voice called behind him. "Sora?"
"What!" Sora whipped around, glaring, before his expression softened. "Oh, hi Namine." He sighed, brushing a lock of cinnamon hair away from his ocean blue eyes.
Namine's soft blue eyes stared into Sora's. "You've been having a terrible day, huh?" She smiled slightly. "Those blitzball players again?" She reached up to brush a tear from Sora's eye.
Sora smiled. "Come on, we gotta get to band. Those flutes don't play themselves." He laughed at his own lame attempt at a joke.
------------------
"Um...okay.." Sora muttered to himself. "16 steps left, float 20 steps, 10 halfsteps to the right, 25 steps past trumpets, 32 steps--" He looked up to see a certain blonde girl standing in front of him. "Hiya Namine!"
Namine grinned devilishly, a far cry from her usual demeanor. "I have someone here, who'd like to meet you..." A tall blonde boy came up behind Namine a looked down at Sora, who was sitting on the ground. "Sora!" She grinned. "I'd like you to meet Cloud."
She leaned down to Sora and whispered. "Also, he's nice, and the only male on the flag line, so he knows what you're going through! Your date is at the most exquisite restaurant in Destiny Islands, called Le Francais, at 7:30!" Sora's eyes widened. "Namine! Stop trying to set me up!"
Namine huffed. "At least give him a chance!" Namine glared. Sora's eyes looked pleading. "No, Sora! Just do it...I'll buy you ice cream after school..."
She turned on her heel, looked over her shoulder and grinned, "Play nice you two!" and walked away.
"Cloud." Sora stood up and walked over to him. "Namine set me up on this date. She's been trying ever since me and Zell broke up. She doesn't like seeing me all alone."
"She sounds like a nice friend." Cloud smiled. "Actually, I have been wanting to ask you out for a while, then Namine approached me and told me that she could, well uhm...hook me up with you..." Sora looked livid. Cloud hastily added, "Her words, not mine!"
"Look, I've gotta go, but..." Sora blushed. "I'm looking forward..to our date tonight." He smiled. "Bye...Cloud."
----Later that Day-----
"I have an hour before the date..." Cloud sighed. "I'm gonna drop in on Sora. Luckily, Namine gave me his address."
On the way to his date's house, he stopped at the flower shop owned by that weird Selphie girl from school. The bell on the door sounded and brunette in a yellow jumper appeared behind the counter. "Hiya! Can I help you?"
------------
Twenty minutes and $50 later, Cloud was on his way to Sora's. Pulling up to the driveway, smoothing out his clothing, and grabbing the bouquet, he walked up to the door. He rang the doorbell, and waited...and waited...and waited. He was soon greeting by a frazzled Sora, with his hair still wrapped in a towel. "Oh! Hi Cloud!" He spotted the bouquet. "Awwww. Are those for me?" Sora blushed. He realized his hair was still wrapped up and quickly removed the towel from his hair.
"Read the card." Cloud purred. He handed the bouquet to Sora.
Sora looked at the card and read aloud, "Calla Lily - beauty, Iris - warmth of affection, Orange Blossom - Purity and Virginity--" Sora blushed even more. "Red Chrysanthemum - I Love You, Daisy - innocence, Lily of the Valley - happiness, Red Rose - true love, Sweet Pea - delicate pleasures." Sora smiled.
"You know the best thing?" Cloud chuckled at the blush on Sora's face. Sora clung to his every word, almost trancelike. "They're all true."
Sora opened his mouth to protest, but Cloud placed a finger on his lips and said, "Don't even try to say the orange blossom isn't right...I know better than that."
Sora changed subjects. "Ya know, Cloud...I've been to that restaurant before. It's dull. How about you and me go to this teen "bar" that I perform at?"
Cloud looked surprised. Perform? he thought. Surely not... Sora caught the disgusted look on his face and hastily added. "I sing. Mostly songs I've written and composed myself."
"But what about--" Cloud started. Sora grinned. "I can easily cancel the reservations and give Namine her money back." Cloud sighed, but gave in.
------------
"Thanks Cloud!" Sora hugged him. "You're the best." He rushed ahead to get ready.
Cloud sighed inwardly. Might as well find a place at one of the tables.
As he got to his seat, the silver haired boy on stage was just ending his song. The announcer spoke up. "Give Riku a round of applause, will ya."
"He's a good singer, huh?" a voice whispered behind him. Cloud turned around. "I really didn't hear...I just arrived."
"Oh.." Cloud stared into the man's eyes. Stormy grey met dark blue. Ohhhh Kami-sama... Help me... I don't want to hurt sora, but...aughhh! I'm so confused.
"Next on the stage, some applause for the stylings of Sora Madoka singing his own creation, Real Emotion!"
As the music started up, his body rocked in rythym with the beat.
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
I can hear you
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?

By the second verse, Sora was fully dancing, ingoring some of the stares he was recieving; while completely welcoming some others.

By the end of the song, Sora was panting and was sweating. Cheers erupted throughout the club. Grinning like a madman, he passed out.
-------------
Sora's eyes slowly fluttered open. Seeing someone unfamiliar next to the bed he jumped. 'W-who are you?" Sora clutched his head and moaned. "Owwwwwwww." The kid sitting next to him was...well, to tell the truth...Drop. Dead. Gorgeous. Plain and simple. Silver hair fell to his shoulders, deep aqua eyes, light, very light skin. "Ohhhhhhhhhhh." Sora moaned, not in pain...but in ecstasy. It's official...I saw the looks Cloud was giving my brother, Leon. So I'll just tell him, I still want to be friends, but I think we should see other people...
"Um...Hi." Sora blushed. "My name's Sora." The silver haired person (Sora: SEZZY BEAST!) smirked and simply said, "Riku..." He flicked his hair over his shoulder. Sora's eyes widened. NOSEBLEED!
-------------
Riku smirked at Sora. "Nosebleed...my goodness, I know I look good, but my heavens..." Sora glared at him. "Look Riku! I don't even know who you are!"
Riku smirked even more. "I'm Riku Neimou, I'm one of the three star players of the blitzball team--Hey! Where are you going?" Sora took off at breakneck speed...got ten feet...and collapsed.
Riku rolled his eyes. Cloud heard Sora fall and rushed into the room. "Riku!" Riku looked taken aback. "I didn't do anything! I told him I was part of the blitzball team at school and he took...well tried to take off."
"Sora is constantly picked on by the blitzball team..." Cloud glared at him. "You know that! Have you been picking on him?"
Riku looked down. He shook. "I..." he voice wavered. "I never...NEVER made fun of Sora. Not once." Riku glared at Cloud as the older boy made a skeptical face. "Thanks for your trust...big brother."
-------------
The next day, Sora approached Cloud out at the blitzball stadium. He gave him a hug and whimpered. Cloud tilted Sora's chin up so Sora would look him in the eyes. Sora whimpered once more and gulped. "Sora...I already know what your here for." Sora just buried his face into Cloud's chest. Sora looked up at Cloud. At the same time the two of them said..."I still want to be your friend but..." Cloud blushed and Sora looked away. Cloud spoke first. "So I guess we were thinking the same thing. However, I'm still surprised that you like Riku." Sora turned an interesting shade of red. "I...I don't--" Cloud cut him off with a chaste kiss.
"Yes, you do." Cloud smirked. Sora gasped. That smirk...It's...it's...oh. my. GOD!
"Besides..." Cloud continued. "I'm with someone...we met at the club." Sora suddenly grinned evilly. "Um...Sora?"
"I know...Squ--Leon's my brother! He was there to see me perform!" Sora laughed. Cloud's eyes bugged out. "Oh my god..."
"Hey, what's going on here." A sultry voice rang out. The source of the voice wrapped his arms around Sora's waist. "Hey there..." A reddish tinge returned to Sora's face. "Oh...H-hey Riku. Your brother and I were just...erm...welll..."
"We broke up..." Cloud frowned. Riku grinned. "I knew you were bad with relationships and all but, sheesh Cloud! One day?"
Cloud threw a shoe at Riku's head, narrowly missing Sora. "Tsk, tsk, Cloud!" Riku taunted.
Sora rolled his eyes.
---------------
Three days later, at the Pro Blitzball Game, Sora, Riku, Cloud, and Leon all sat together. "I'm hungry! Cloud! Gimme money!" Cloud rolled his eyes and handed him ten dollars. "Gimme back the change." Cloud leaned against Leon.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Riku asked. Sora smiled. Three days and he'd landed the absolute best boyfriend on the face of the earth. "Nah, that's okay. You stay here and enjoy the game." Sora leaned down and gave Riku a peck on the cheek.
Walking out to the concession stands, Sora noticed a group of boys staring at him. Ignoring them, he got into line. After ordering his large nachos (gonna share with Riku) and a strawberry slushie, he walked back to the stands. On the way there, one of the boys stopped him to talk. "Hey!" Sora ignored him. "HEY!" He grabbed Sora and a he covered the brunette's mouth with his hand. "Rkkmmmmph!"
Riku peered around the corner and saw three boys dragging Sora off. "SORA!" Cloud and Leon jumped and followed Riku. Sora then bit the hand of the one boy. "RIKU! HELP!" The boys dropped and abandoned Sora. Sora hugged himself as Riku skidded to a halt and knelt next to him. Hugging Sora, he caught sight of Cloud and Leon ran up to the pair. Sora leaned into Riku and shuddered. Riku frowned deeply. I won't let anyone hurt Sora. Besides, he'll stop getting picked on when he shows up on my arm at school on Monday.
He didn't know how wrong he was.
