Secrets
Chapter 2: Meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riku secretly cursed at Roxas for agreeing Axel's request and at Axel who forced him to come along since they lived close to Roxas's house. At first, Riku did not want to have any connection or have something to do with Roxas but after seeing Axel's weird puppy eyes, it amazed him how he agreed to those eyes when he thought it was weird. Really weird.
So, here he was, standing in the center of the house, in living room of Roxas's house with Axel who 'weeee'ed and 'oohhh'ed when he saw whatever inside the house. It's not a surprise if the sofas or couches in the house were imported from French or Britain or if the wallpapers were color with expensive paint or the paintings by the wall bought from famous artists.
The owner of the house were a very rich couple known for their ownership of famous Game Company in the world where they had produced very famous box office games in Top Ten Famous Games so they had owned a very large mansion, the second largest to Riku's in Paopu Neighborhood. The third largest was Tidus's who lived just a few ten blocks from his house.
"Wow Roxas! Your house is so huge!" Axel exclaimed.
"Thanks. It's my uncle and auntie's actually," Roxas said, smiling. When he met with Riku, the smile immediately gone replace by expressionless. The attitude was not a surprise for Riku since he knew Roxas, very much. "My uncle and auntie aren't home at this time. So we have the house to ourselves," Roxas said.
"So what are we doing here then?" Riku asked.
"Have fun," Roxas replied, smirking.
--------------------------------
They indeed have fun. Fun consisted of eating their dinner in large buffet made by Five Stars Chef, watched movie in the living room with large TV and large speakers that occasionally vibrated the whole house, playing games in Entertainment Room found on second floor and even ate popcorn while lying on the floor in Roxas's room.
'Yeah right. Fun my ass,' Riku thought as he watched Axel and Roxas's lying on their stomach on the floor with their legs dangling behind them, eating popcorn together and watching the TV found in Roxas's room. Riku frowned badly. No, he was not jealous, just pissed off that Axel seemed to be having fun with Roxas and ignored him for the rest of time.
Grumbling under his breath, he decided to leave the two seemingly-couple in the room and closed the door behind him. He sighed as he leaned against the door for a while, thinking about him and Roxas of five years ago where they used to have fun together, playing games together, laughing together, holding hands and kissing…
'Damn it!' Riku shook his head to shake off the thought. 'Calm down Riku. That was five years ago and you're supposed to forget about it since you're the one who started it!' Riku thought and took a deep breath before he sighed heavily.
Cling…
A soft sound reached his ear.
Cling…
Riku blinked then turned to look at the corridor towards the stairs.
Cling…
He perked his ears sharply; trying to listen to the soft sound of clinging that seemed to be coming from the stairs. His feet unconsciously moved and he did not realize he was walking forwards towards the source of the sound.
Cling…
The closer he got to the stairs, the louder the sound was yet the softer the sound was. He paused just in the midway of the corridor and listened carefully to the sound. There's no sound anymore and Riku looked around to find nothing but the door to his left. Maybe he was just imagining thing yet he wondered what that's sound was. More like metal clinging.
Cling…
Instantly, he looked at his left and found himself staring to the brown door with star manmade wooden plate. It had no name but he could see a beautiful small blue diamond glued to the wood that seemed to be making a line of cloud. Riku blinked, heard the soft sound again and instinctively, he reached for the doorknob and slightly turned it.
The sound getting louder yet soft and Riku found he was inhaling some sweet scent of vanilla or was it chocolate. Either way, it attracted Riku to enter more into a dark room. The only source of the light was the moonlight from outside that reached the room through the open balcony and lighting from the door behind him. He looked around the room, simple and clean and judging from the moonlight outside, the room was filled with blue.
His attention turned to outside of the room in balcony when he heard the sound again. He found himself holding his breath in his throat as if preventing him from choking when he saw someone sitting by the balcony. The moonlight was helping him by exposing the cinnamon hairs and the silky chubby cheeks, a small fragile body that wore nothing but a light creamy pajama, boy.
Riku did not realize he was walking towards the person slowly until he paused when the floor somehow produced a creak sound, causing the person to turn his head to him and there, Riku found himself staring into bright blue eyes that somehow succeeded on giving him butterflies in his stomach and drum in his heart. Riku couldn't help but feel he was staring at Roxas just like five years ago.
Except that, this is not Roxas.
"Roxas?" The voice reached Riku's ears. He gulped when the person hopped on the tiled floor and walked closer towards him. "Roxas, is that you?" The voice asked. It was probably the moonlight hadn't reached him completely that Riku thought, the person thought he was Roxas.
Panic, Riku took a step backwards as the person approached. He saw the person blinked in either in confusion or it was necessary. Then Riku watched as the person walked to the side to the wall, and it took a few seconds for Riku to realize he was reaching for the lamp button. Riku's head demanded him to run away while there's a chance but his feet just suddenly cold.
And the light's on, causing his eyes sting and shut his aqua eyes. He slowly opened his eyes as well as adjusting to the light. He blinked for a couple of times until he saw the person he had admired since one minute ago. As he expected, the person was looked a lot like Roxas, as a matter of fact, he looked like Roxas's twin especially with those blue eyes. But he looked skinnier and he wore a key-like necklace.
Those blue eyes widened in shock when he realized it was not Roxas who's in his room and Riku immediately sensed something when the person stepped back and saw that fear expression from the beautiful face. Riku gulped and sheepishly, he rubbed the back of his neck and smiled.
"Uh…sorry that I barged---"
"ROXASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Riku startled and slightly jump at the sudden shriek from the person. He perplexed and confused. Suddenly he jumped again when the door banged open and he turned to see Roxas with his wide blue eyes and Axel who looking perplexed entered the room. Roxas scanned the room in a second and his eyes widened more when he saw the person.
"Sora!" Roxas rushed to the person and hugged him as the person broke into tears. Riku watched in confusion as Roxas rocked his body back and forth while he was comforting the crying person in his arms and he gulped when Roxas looked up and glared deadly at him. "Get out." It was stern and understanding.
"I did not hurt him," Riku said, frowning.
"Get out," Roxas hissed. Riku bit his bottom lip, he looked at the person who looked a lot like Roxas in the blonde's arms, crying, sobbing, sniffing and shaking in terribly fear. "Get Out." The last warning from Roxas and Riku let himself being dragged by Axel who had seen everything or probably afraid of Roxas until they're in living room, in deadly silent.
"I did not do anything," Riku said more like to himself than to Axel.
"I know," Axel said in understanding tone. Riku looked at his best friend and blinked. "Sora's just afraid."
"Afraid?"
"Yes. He…uh…got fear towards stranger," Axel said, scratching his eyes. Fear against stranger? Well, that's explained the expression and shriek but wait, how the hell did Axel knew? "Sora is Roxas's older twin brother," Axel said, as if knowing what Riku had in his mind. "Roxas told me." And the news caused Riku's eyes widened.
"Twin brother?" Riku blinked then frowned. 'He never told me he had twin brother. And how come he told Axel who he just met less than twenty four hours than me who had been with him for more than three months!?' They heard footstep and saw Roxas's walking down, glaring intently at him. Riku glared back at him for the first time, feeling betrayal from Roxas.
"What the hell are you doing in Sora's room?" Roxas asked.
"Why did not you tell me you have a twin brother?" Riku asked, enough to make Roxas frowned badly.
"It's none of your business," replied Roxas.
"It is my business five years ago," Riku said.
"Well, this isn't five years ago anymore," Roxas said, crossing his arms. Riku grunted.
"And you told Axel whom you just met less than twenty four hours?" Riku said. Roxas frowned; he unfolded his arms and let it hanged by his side. "Damn it Roxas! I was your boyfriend and you never told me you have twin brother but Axel!?" Riku shouted. He could feel Axel's eyes widened beside him when Axel looked back and forth between the two shorter boys.
"I…have my reason," Roxas said, bowing. Riku bit his bottom lip. Cursing, he turned around and headed to the door, opened it and closed it with a loud bang, ignoring the call from Axel. He closed his door as he stood on a concrete walkway before he walked out of the yard. Just when he was about to pass Axel's house, he halted on his track and instinctively looked up at the balcony found above the entrance to Roxas's house.
He saw Sora.
