AN: Alright, so no one reviewed the first chapter at all. But I like to update often. I was actually going to update this yesterday but then I was sick so I didn't. Read and review please.
Disclaimer: Fairly obvious, I won't even put a disclaimer sometimes but I don't own any KH characters.

Sora hurried home with Roxas, hoping to beat Axel there. Sure enough, when they reached their house Axel was nowhere to be seen.
"Are you sure Axel would drive?" Sora asked, nervously looking around for a flash of red hair.
Roxas snorted, "You don't know Axel at all, do you?"
"It sounds like you know him pretty well," Sora said, cocking one eyebrow up at him suspiciously.
Roxas blushed furiously, "With you and Riku swooning over Kairi I have a lot of free time. I hang out with him sometimes…."
Roxas was saved the trouble of defending his so-called innocent relationship with Axel by the sound of a car pulling up.
Axel stepped out, grabbing a bag from the passenger seat as he walked up to them.
"Are we were outside…?" Axel asked, obviously confused as to why the two of them were standing on the porch.
"Oh no," Sora said, finally realizing they were still standing on the porch, "Let's go inside."
Sora dug into his backpack and grabbed the key, shoving it into the lock until it clicked and they could enter.
As soon as they arrived inside Roxas headed upstairs, clearly trying to not disturb their work.
"You don't have to leave," Sora said, "We just have to brainstorm right now, it's not like we're doing research or anything. You might even be able to help."
'Okay, the odds of Roxas being able to help are pretty slim,' Sora thought, 'But at least with Roxas squirming and fidgeting this could be fun.'
They sat there for near an hour working. They came up with some good ideas, some of which (to Sora's great surprise) came from Axel. They ended up with an outline to a project that might actually be pretty good.
After hearing a loud grumble from Axel's stomach Sora went into the kitchen to make them all some food.
"So…" Axel said, wondering why he suddenly couldn't think of anything to say, "You and Sora are brothers?"
"Oh yeah," Roxas said, glad the silence had finally been broken, "I guess that's never really come up when we hung out…"
Roxas felt suddenly shy. Him and Axel were close… closer than anyone knew and they really didn't know that much about each other.
Roxas was awoken from his thoughts as Sora's yell of "Food!" rang from the kitchen. Roxas stood up and followed Axel into the kitchen, feeling slightly unnerved.

"Riku," Kairi said softly, putting down her textbook as she stretched out along the couch, resting her head on Rikus' lap.
"Hmm?" Riku asked as he wrote down one last night and placed the textbook on the table.
"Let's take a break," Kairi said as she gazed at the ceiling, "Watch a movie or something."
"Sure," Riku said, "What do you want to watch?"
"Whatever," Kairi said closing her eyes, "Something that doesn't suck I guess."
"Alright, uh…." Riku started, turning a light pink as he finally noticed Kairi resting on his lap, "You'll have to get up for a minute so I can get a movie…"
"Oh right," Kairi said as she shifted off of Rikus' lap, accidentally grazing his crotch.
Riku turned bright red as he quickly stood up and went to get a movie. It wasn't a good feeling that made him embarrassed either. Kairis' touch made him feel uncomfortable.
'It's just because I'm so used to her thinking of me as a friend,' Riku thought decisively, 'I'll get used to it…'
Riku looked at Kairi, 'She's so pretty…. But is that enough?'
Suddenly aware of how long he had been standing there he grabbed a random movie off a stack and shoved it half hazardly into the DVD player.
Kairi blinked open her eyes as Riku sat down next to her.
"What are we watching?" she asked with a smile.
Luckily Riku was spared guessing which movie he grabbed as the title "10 Things I hate About You" lit up the screen.
"I've never seen this," Kairi said, "Is it any good?"
"Well," Riku said with a laugh, "I generally don't watch movies that suck."
"Fair enough," Kairi said.
Riku left the room again briefly to make a bowl of popcorn and grab 2 sodas.
Riku offered the bowl of popcorn to Kairi who shook her head and said, "If I eat that I'll get fat."
"Suit yourself," Riku said shrugging, not noticing the hurt look on Kairis' face because of him not saying anything about her fat comment.
