Hi, this is my first Kingdom Hearts story. Well at least the first one, I actually put details in and typed. Please give it a chance. The first chapter or two will be different POV switches just so you can see how the characters think. After that, it won't be like that. Because I hate stories where it shows the same event twice with a different person, its kind of dull to me.

Well, I hope you like the story. Please enjoy.

Meeting

Roxas POV

"Oh! Those two make the cutest couple!" Selphie exclaimed.

"Who?" said Namine

"Those two boys. The brunette one is cute and the silver-haired one is just straight hot."

"Yea, I see them, you're right. I wonder who they are."

At the mention of a cute brunette, I instinctively turned in the direction they were looking. People often describe my younger cousin like that. Looking over I saw that it was Sora holding hands with some silver-haired kid. I didn't like the looks of the silver-haired boy already. Though, I had to admit he was pleasing to the eyes, but I knew his type. The jock that uses and then dumps without a care in the world. I narrowed my eyes, Sora often ended up in relationships with people he didn't like. I could bet that this was one of those times. He was too nice, if anyone asked him to go out with them, he would agree as long as he was single, for fear of hurting their feelings. It drove me crazy and people do take advantage. If he was too unhappy, then either Cloud or I would step in to break it up. Like I said he was too nice, he needed someone to look out for him. When we did step in, he always felt bad for the other person, but I knew he was secretly grateful. We were close, having grown up together the past 14 years. Looking at Riku I thought, well I'd better end this early before someone got hurt.

"It's Sora." I said.

Almost as if he had heard me, he looked up and our gazes met across the street. His eyes brightened and a smile burst upon his face as he let go of the silver-haired boy's hand and began coming towards me.

"Who?" they both asked.

"My cousin." I answered.

"Oh, you didn't tell us you had a cousin our age." Namine said.

"Well here's your chance to meet him, he's coming over. Feel free to continue drooling over his boyfriend."

"WE ARE NOT!"

"What's that in the corner of your mouth, Selphie?"

She hastily began wiping the corner of her mouth while Namine laughed.

"ROXAS", I heard before someone barreled into me knocking me down with their arms locked around my neck.

"Nice to see you too, Sora." I chuckled.

"Hey", he replied, "what are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here? You mean what are you doing here? And who is he

Sora turned a slight shade of red before answering, "He's Riku……my new boyfriend."

"Sora! How can you have a boyfriend already? We've only been in high school 4 days!"

"I know," he sighed, "but it kind of just happened."

I sighed, "But how did it just happen? I know he's good-looking and all, but is that even the reason you went out with him? Seeing as we don't even know if you're gay or not."

"Can I tell you later?" he asked staring at me with those deep cerulean eyes so like my own.

"Fine."

"He is so adorable, Roxas!" I heard Selphie exclaim as she and Namine proceeded to pull Sora off me and shower him with hugs and kisses. I watched this display of affection while Sora's cheeks began to color. He sent me a pleading look and I just smiled.

I noticed Riku was almost over here as I stood up and began to dust myself off. He did look nice. He was wearing dark rinse fitted jeans, a black tank top with a long sleeved white shirt over it unbuttoned, black vans, and his hair was tied back in a ponytail with a few wisps hanging over his dazzling emerald eyes. Any other non-straight guy would probably already have been mesmerized. But not me. Why? 1. He already got on my bad side. 2. Not my type, too full of himself.

He walked over with his eyes focused on Sora the whole time. He didn't see me step into his line of vision and block him off from Sora.

His eyes narrowed towards me. I met his stare evenly.

Sora could feel the tension in the air, I heard him timidly call out, "Roxas."

I ignored him and Selphie and Namine began taking up his attention again.

"So," I said, "you're Riku."

"Yep, and you are?"

"His cousin, Roxas."

"He never mentioned you."

"I expect he didn't mention me. There are probably a lot of things he didn't mention. You hardly know him as is and you probably don't care whether you get to know him or not."

"….." His eyes darkened as he continued to stare at me.

"I know your type, the typical jock, self-absorbed, uncaring, and only hanging around long enough to screw someone and leave. And you know what, I--"

"You don't know anything about me."

"Yes, yes I do. All you care about is getting laid, not caring who you hurt. It doesn't matter to you."

"That's not true."

"Yes, it is, I can tell by looking at you. I--"

"Looks can be deceiving."

"But in this case, they aren't. What exactly do you want with Sora anyway?"

"That's none of your business."

"That's where you're wrong, it is my business. It's especially my business when it involves Sora getting hurt.

He took a step towards me. "You don't know anything and I'm not going to hurt Sora."

"Yeah, uh huh. You're nothing but a man-whore and I won't let you hurt Sora."

"What did you call me?"

"You heard me." He raised his fist and took another step towards me glaring.

"Hey! That tickles." I heard Sora laugh from behind me. Riku tensed for a second and glanced from Sora to me. Then he lowered his fist.

"What's the matter? Afraid he'll break up with you before you get to sleep with him; if he sees you hit me?"

"I knew it. Why don't you do Sora and me a favor and just break up with him. He doesn't need you in his life and your presence will just make his life unhappy and then I'll have to step in. You shouldn't take advantage of people just because you know they'll say yes."

"I don't have to take this."

"Your right, you don't. So leave. Do you know Cloud?"

"…..No."

"Well, you will soon enough. I won't be the last blonde you hear from. So, you should just leave."

"You know what, you little bastard. I don't know what the hell you want or what I did to you. But I don't have to listen to you. I could beat the crap out of you right now, but Sora's here, so I won't."

"Like you could." I scoffed.

"But you know what. I'm NOT going to break up with Sora because I don't want to. And if I do decide to sleep with him, that's between me and him, not you."

I stood there and watched him stalk away. "Asshole." I muttered.

"Roxas, are you okay?" Sora asked me when he finally broke away from Selphie and Namine.

"Yea, I'm fine." I said as I rearranged my face.

"Why did Riku leave?" I looked over at him and smiled. "He had to go get his priorities straight."

"Is he okay?"

"Yea, he's fine. He just needed a little help."

Sora gave me a confused look. "Oh."

Riku POV

Sora and I were walking down the road fingers intertwined, when he suddenly looked up, gasped "Roxas," and took off across the street letting my hand go. I stared down at my hand thinking, 'Sora doesn't care if we hold hands or not. He doesn't even like me, he doesn't even know me. But…..when I saw him that day, I didn't want to lose my chance, so I just had to ask him to go out with me. He didn't even know my name, and I didn't really give him a chance to say no. Indeed, I liked the boy, what with his cerulean eyes, boyish look, and the happiness radiating from him, I was enraptured from the moment I heard his light clear laugh." I looked and watched him run over and all but tackle a blond boy about his height to the ground. He was positively beaming at the boy and I couldn't help feel a sense of jealously. As I began to walk over I saw Sora being kissed and tickled by two girls. Suddenly the blonde boy was standing in my way, eyes narrowed at me.

"You're Riku." He said.

"Yep, and you are?" I responded.

And as he began to talk, I started to get enraged. Who did this guy think he was? He didn't know me. Making all these accusations against me, when he's never seen me in his life. Like I would use Sora and then drop him. I wasn't that type of person. After his rants, it wasn't any of his business what I wanted with Sora. Okay, so maybe I was taking advantage, but it's not like I was going to try anything.

Wait a minute, he just called me a man-whore, I was going to smash this kid into the ground, and I was going to enjoy every second of it.

"Hey! That tickles." I heard Sora laugh from behind Roxas. If they were as close as they seemed I would have no chance with Sora, if I pulverized this kid right in front of his eyes. I had no choice but to lower my fist. Damn.

As soon as I lowered my fist, his taunts came back. What was I doing here? I didn't have to sit here and take his crap. This kid was nothing to me. Nothing but a pain. Wait, Cloud…..Cloud Strife. Well, I didn't really know him, so I guess it's still a no. What I do know, is that he fights well and will hammer anyone who offends him bad enough into the ground. Leon, his boyfriend, also takes it upon himself to beat the crap out of anyone who messes with Cloud.

Hah! I bet I could take this kid, but it's not worth it, not worth it in the least. I'm leaving, but before I do I had to make this kid mad, just for the way he acted towards me.

"But you know what. I'm NOT going to break up with Sora because I don't want to. And if I do decide to sleep with him, that's between me and him, not you." I said.

I couldn't contain the sense of triumph I felt as I turned away and stalked off seeing the stricken look on his face. My mouth curved into a smirk as soon as my back was facing him.

Sora POV

When I saw Roxas my first instinct was to bolt across to him. I completely forgot I was holding Riku's hand until I had already let it go. I don't really know Riku at all. He just asked me to go out with him on the first day of school and because he had to get up the courage to ask, I thought it would be mean to say no. I'd had a lot of boyfriends and girlfriends because I can't say no. I didn't like any of them as more than a friend. I haven't liked anyone as more than a friend. That's kind of sad to me; I'm hoping someday soon I will find someone I actually like, but so far no such luck.

I crashed into Roxas, both of us falling to the ground.

"Nice to see you too, Sora." Roxas said.

I love my cousin, we've grown up together since we were babies. He's my best friend and also very protective of me.

"He is so adorable, Roxas!" I heard someone say as I was pulled to my feet. The next thing I know arms are squeezing me and lips are kissing my cheeks with squeals of delight. I'm trying to wiggle my way out as I can feel my face coloring. I look at Roxas pleadingly, but he just smiles. I see Riku show up, but I'm too busy trying to escape to hear what Riku and Roxas are saying to each other. I see the look on Roxas' face.

"Roxas." I say. I hope he's not about to show his protective side, it's usually not good for people on the receiving end. When I finally break free, Riku is gone, but Roxas has a shocked look on his face.

"Roxas, are you okay?" I ask.

"Yea, I'm fine."

"Why did Riku leave?" He looks at me and smiles.

"He had to go get his priorities straight."

"Is he okay?"

"Yea, he's fine. He just needed a little help."

"Oh." Why would Riku need Roxas' help? He doesn't even know Roxas. But I decide not to push it. If Roxas wants to tell me, he will.

Thanks for reading, please review.
