SORA'S POV:
"Sora, don't cry, I'm here. It's alright. I'll protect you." Roxas told me, his arms where wrapped around me and I felt so safe. I had to make sure though, I had felt safe with my parents but...
"P-Promise?" I asked him. I wanted to sound strong but I couldn't even hear my own voice and I couldn't stop myself from crying like a baby.
Roxas nodded his head vigorously. "Of course Sora, I wouldn't lie to you. I'll protect you from everything." It meant a lot to hear him say that to me. I knew we didn't know each other that much but...I think I had feelings for him. But not really, I hate him, well, maybe I just hate Cloud for taking Leon away from me. Leon was the only family I had and I wanted him with me! So, maybe it was alright for me to have feelings for Roxas...
I smiled at him, I'm pretty sure I did have feelings for him. Not his brother though. Not any good ones anyway.
I cuddled up next to Roxas, my head in the crook of his neck. He wrapped his arms tighter around me and pulled me closer. I have feelings for him, it's official.
I was so comfy, so warm, so safe with Roxas I started to fell asleep but what I wanted to do was have him kiss me. I didn't feel scared anymore. It was just a movie...until something went bump and knocked something over. The sound itself wasn't loud but the echo it gave off was loud and I jumped.
"Ahh! What was that!" I nearly screamed. Roxas let go of me and jumped off the couch, slowly creeping to where the noise was heard, which was behind us. It was dark so if something dangerous was there...Roxas might not be in the best shape afterward. I had curled into myself the second that Roxas had let go of me. "Don't get hurt." I whispered sharply. I saw him nod. It wasn't that late but it was dark.
"Agh. Nothing to worry about Sora. Just Reptar. How the hell did you get out?" Roxas asked his gecko harshly. That's good, it was just Reptar, nothing overly dangerous. "I'll be back Sora, I have to put this little guy back in his cage." He told me. I was about to tell him 'no'. I didn't want to be left alone in this dark. I was scared. That damn movie really got to me...
A second later the darkness was around me, consuming, suffocating. God, it was scary. Really, really, scary. I started to choke on all this empty darkness. Or was it filled with all things scary? I started to sweat, I was freaking out. This was weird. It never happened to me before...but...the light was always on when I fell asleep and it was on when I woke up to...
"Sora!" Roxas yelled, I must have been freakin out bad. I've never heard anybody scream my name like that...except this one time when I broke my arm when I went to meet Barney in person...long story.
ROXAS' POV:
I dropped Reptar in his cage and I noticed that the top part, the part that keeps him in, was knocked askew. I fixed that and walked back to the living room. Sora was, it looked like, hyperventilating or something. "Sora!" I yelled as I ran to him. I wrapped my arms around him. "Hey, it's alright, it's alright Sora, i'm here, i'm here. It's okay, I'll protect you, remember? Sush Sora." I tried to do my best at comforting him but it didn't work. He was still freaking out. I held him next to me and started rocking him softly, I knew that helped putting children to sleep so maybe this would work for him to...
It did and soon he was asleep. He had stopped crying but his face was plastered with tears and snot. I laid him down on the couch and walked into the kitchen where I got some tissues. I walked back to Sora, who was still asleep, and cleaned up the mess on his face. I walked back to the kitchen and cursed the fact that we didn't have a wastebasket in the living room, we needed one. Who wanted to walk all the way from the couch to the kitchen? What a long walk when you have a cute, sleeping, boy on the couch.
I had to shift Sora, and he stirred a bit, to sit down on the couch. Sora's head was in my lap and it felt great to have that extra heat radiate off of him...
I ran my hand through Sora's spikes. They where soft and comfy. It was amazing to see spikes like that. My other hand felt the edge of the couch for the lever that popped up the foot rest. It felt good to have Sora next to me, both of us laying down. As I was falling asleep in this state of super bliss my phone rang in my room, waking us both up. "Damn phone." I hissed, it wasn't even that loud, the silence of the house made it louder.
I stood up to go, putting the foot rest down and moving Sora, to answer the phone. 'Stupid phone' I thought to myself. I opened the door to my room, found my phone on my bed and flipped it open to see who was calling. It was Axel, my band mate and best friend since we moved here three years ago.
Bold is Axel speaking on the phone.
"What do you want Axel, I'm busy." I snapped at him.
"Well, well, well, somebody is mad. Who shoved the stick up yours?" He laughed and I knew there was a smirk on his face.
"Nobody shoved a stick up mine Axel. I'm just busy, like I said. Sorry I snapped at you but I need to know what you want." I apologized, my voice softening.
"No problem Roxy, I should apologize but I never do so...What I wanted you to know is that we want you at the park tomorrow. Five o'clock sharp." He told me.
"Yeah, sure, no problem but it better be pm because I'm not waking up that early." I warned him.
"Yup, I don't wake up that early either little man. See ya' tomorrow." He told me.
"Bye Axel. Don't call me little man. I hate that." I told him sternly and all I got in response was my friend laughing at me.
I shut my phone, ending the call, and tossed it on my bed where I would find it easily if someone else called. I shook my head to clear the slight drowsiness that threatened to overcome me and stopped mid-shake to notice Sora standing in my doorway. "Hi Sora. What's up?" I asked him, now with renewed energy. I glanced quickly at the clock on my wall that read 9:30. Only an hour left to mess around and do what we wanted, I knew better then to try and disobey Cloud.
"I...You...I woke up because of the phone and then you weren't there and I...so..." He trailed off.
"Your scared?" I asked him, just to clarify.
He nodded. " And cold." I nodded and grabbed some blankets off of my bed and walked back to the living room with Sora glued to my side. He was so warm and I was happy that I could make him feel safe.
I threw the blankets down on the couch after Sora had settled himself down: successfully covering him in warm blankets. He beamed up at me. "Move over, your hogging the couch." I told him and he shuffled off to one side so I could have some room. "Alright, I'm done, come back over here." I said and he gladly obeyed. He snuggled up to me, his chin on my shoulder, looking up to me. His brown spikes tickled my chin.
"Comfy?" I asked him. He smiled and nodded.
"Yup. You?" He asked.
Dreamily I nodded, I was to busy getting lost in his eyes. Corny I know but still...
"Good night Roxas." Sora said and I nodded again.
I waited a few minutes, about ten, to make sure that the brunette was asleep. I wanted to make sure he was asleep. Slowly, inch by tiny inch, I made my way towards Sora's lips. Right before, right freakin' before, I put my lips to his a bird squawked loudly outside and totally ruined the moment and after that I couldn't do it anymore. I turned around and tried to go to sleep.
I drifted in and out of sleep for awhile and woke up when I heard the door creak open. My eyes shot towards the clock above the TV and it read 12:22. I heard Cloud 'aww' at what I assumed to be the position we where in. "Look at them Leon! They're adorable! Take a picture with your phone." My brother demanded. I, without having to look, knew the way he pressed himself against the taller brunette.
I waited until I heard the 'click' of Leon's camera phone before I sat up and turned to them, giving my best glare. I picked up glaring from Cloud, he might not sound like the 'glare' type of person but he can really give off the wrath of god with his eyes, my glare might not be as good as his but it had to be at least okay.
"You're late." I hissed to them, not wanting to wake up Sora; he looked so cute asleep. "You said you'd be back by eleven and it's twelve thirty almost!" Shocked didn't begin to describe the look on their faces.
Cloud spoke up, maybe because it was me talking. Who knows? Who cares? "Erhm, did we say to be asleep by ten thirty?" He challenged.
"You did. I was. I just woke up because the door is the most obnoxiously loud door ever!" I challenged back.
Cloud gave me the 'fear of God' glare and I almost flinched. Why was he mad at me, I didn't stay out late, he did! Whatever. "Roxas, your not the older brother, you don't get to yell at me for staying out late. Go back to sleep!" he barked.
"Whatever." I huffed and laid back down, turning away from him.
"Way to be a teenage girl." Cloud mocked. I turned to him, taking my chance to get him.
"At least I'm not the girl in the relationship!" I spat. Cloud's face turned two hundred different shades of red.
"Oh hell no." Cloud huffed and began to walk over to me but Leon grabbed his elbow.
"Don't." Leon said and that one word diffused the situation on Cloud's end. "Just go to your room and I'll talk to him, okay? I'll be with you in a minute." Leon smirked at the last bit and Cloud, taking the hint and liking it, walked off to his room. I saw him unbutton his shirt as he walked. Ugh. Gross.
I turned to stare at Leon, making sure not to wake Sora. Leon took notice and spoke softly. "Roxas' I know why your mad, we lied to you and I know that you've been lied to way to many times and I'm sorry. I'd say traffic but I know your not as accepting as my little brother. We did stay out late but I swear to you, and I stick by my word, that if we say we'll be back by eleven then we will walk through that door at eleven sharp. You might be right about who's what in our relationship but remember Cloud is still a guy and he still has his pride, don't piss him off. I'll talk to your brother but can I have your word that you will make it up to him later?"
"But I didn't do anything wrong Leon." I defended myself.
He patted my shoulder. "I know, I know, but do you think Cloud is going to say 'I'm sorry' before you do?" He asked me. He was right. Damn him.
"Yeah, your right, your right Leon. I'll say sorry to him first but I want to go out for breakfast tomorrow then."
Leon smiled, chuckling a bit. "Sure, you'll get to go out for breakfast later." He said, reminding me of the time. "It might be lunch though depending on how long you guys sleep into."
It was my turn to laugh a bit. He smiled and stood up to go to Cloud's room. "Leon!" I shouted, almost waking up Sora( holy crap this kid's a heavy sleeper). "Good night...and...thank you."
Leon just smiled at me. "Good night Roxas."
I smiled up at him, I really like him. I approve of him.
As I drifted off to sleep the last thought going through my mind was how soft Sora's spikes where and how much I still wanted to kiss those lips.
