Willas: Hey everyone! This is my first fanfic, so don't be too harsh, 'k? .' Anyway, this story is between Roxas and Hayner. In other words this is a yaoi fic, so if you don't like that kinda thing, don't read it! Common sense. I refuse to be flamed because someone doesn't like gay people! Anywho, if you do like that sorta thing, do continue reading and please review!

Warnings: Yaoiness : ), spoilers, and slight OOC possibly.
Chapter One: Am I Insane?
OOOOOO
"Sorry guys," Roxas repeated for the umpteenth time that afternoon. He tore his gaze away from the rooftops bathed in sunlight to stare dejectedly at his, as Olette had pointed out, now melting ice cream.
"For the last time, Roxas, don't worry about it. We'll just go to the beach tomorrow," Hayner said off-handedly. Sighing, Roxas looked at his best friend before finally starting in on his sea-salt ice cream. He gazed out over the town, wondering what had happened to him earlier that day. "It was weird," he said quietly, almost to himself, referring to his incident at Station Heights.
"Yeah, weird," Olette agreed. Roxas absently ate his ice cream as he replayed the scene in his mind.
"So, all together we have…5000 munny!" Olette exclaimed excitedly. As the group cheered, she passed the munny-stuffed pouch to Roxas. They had spent the whole afternoon doing odd jobs to make enough munny to pay for four tickets to the beach and pretzels. Roxas put the pouch in his pocket to ensure he didn't drop it.
"Come on guys, to the station!" cried Hayner as he led the way up the steps to the train station. Roxas moved to follow, but suddenly found himself facedown on the ground. He was yanked to his feet by a man cloaked completely in black, and jerked roughly by the arm.
"Can you feel Sora?" the cloaked figure asked as he released his hold. Before Roxas could question the man, Hayner called to him from the station doors.
"Roxas! Three minutes!" Roxas looked over at Hayner, then glanced back only to find the cloaked man no where to be seen.
Having been left standing there confused, Roxas had run up the stairs and into the station before he realized the munny-pouch he had pocketed only a minute ago was missing. Roxas still didn't understand what had happened almost as much as the fact none of his friends saw the guy who had grabbed him. "You guys are sure there wasn't anyone else there?" He couldn't stop himself from asking again; he had to. He was beginning to think he was going insane if he saw people that others couldn't.
"Yeah, you were the only one in the square," Pence replied, his girlfriend Olette nodding in confirmation as she moved closer to Pence as a cool breeze swept by. Sighing, Roxas resigned himself to his slowly melting treat, completely oblivious to his best friend's covert glances in his direction.
Hayner quickly swept his chocolate brown eyes worriedly, and longingly, over Roxas before looking away again. His friend looked so miserable, he just wanted to take him in his arms to cuddle him and tell him everything would all right, but he couldn't and he knew it. He knew he'd be ridiculed by Seifer and his gang if they knew he had a crush on his best guy friend. Hayner wasn't sure when he started feeling this way towards his friend, but he gradually found himself wanting Roxas as more than his best friend. Pence and Olette already knew, but he didn't know how Roxas would react, and that's what scared him the most, and what kept him from telling the other boy how he felt. Finishing off his ice cream, he chewed on the end of the stick, unaware that the object of his affections was having almost identical thoughts.
Roxas pulled himself away from thoughts of insanity and turned to his disappointment in the missed beach trip. He had planned on telling Hayner how he felt while they were there. He knew Pence and Olette would eventually go off on their own, leaving him and Hayner to themselves. Their usual beach spot was in a cove that interconnected with many smaller private ones where no one could hear him when he confessed his love for Hayner…or hear him cry if Hayner turned away from him in disgust. He was afraid of how the other blond would react to his confession, and his stomach lurched at the thought of Hayner hating him. Roxas didn't think his heart could bear it, he loved his best friend and had for a long time. He glanced over at the other blond, trying to guess what the other was thinking, but found him with his eyes closed as he soaked up the last rays of the setting sun. Sighing, Roxas looked away wishing it were he instead of the sun kissing his friend's face.
Hayner opened his eyes and frowned at the gathering darkness. Noticing everyone had finished their ice cream, he stood up and stretched, signaling it was time for their departure. As they all stood up to leave, Hayner thought Roxas looked even more miserable than he had before, if it was at all possible. Wishing more than ever to hold his friend, he paused as and idea hit him. Climbing down the station tower, he smiled to himself, deciding he could tell everyone tomorrow. He knew just how to cheer Roxas up.
OOOOO
