a/n: Here is the second chappie! Happy Readings!
Roxas' POV:
I woke up before Sora the next day, so as I waited I managed to separate a part of myself to across the room. It was only a kind of spirit of myself, but I could see on my own. If only for a bit. I sat on the couch watching him breath. He doesn't know I can do this. And that's why it seems a little wierd that I be starring, but I just can't help it. Ever since I've grown to know him, he's become very close to me. My eyes always lingered over his face. His girly features not bothering me. I found them attractive. I closed my eyes and thought about when he smiled. He was always acting so goofy. His smile would make anyone feel better. It did for me. He always worked his magic on me. He had cast his spell with that same smile. Capturing my heart in it's hexing grip. His eyes had the same effect. They were the same color as mine, but his had a certain sparkle that made you think he was your best friend the mommnt you met him.
As I watched him I saw his lips move occasionally, and I nearly lost it. I almost went over there and kissed him on the spot. I've had that problem every time I do this, but it's hard to break the habbit. His nose wrinkled slightly as he drempt, making wrinkles appear for a momment, and then turning back to it's perfectly smooth self shortly after. He started moaning slightly as the dream progressed and I immediatly saw that it wasn't a good one. I got up and stepped lightly over to him, but before I got there he surprised me by opening his mouth once again and whispered faintly.
I leaned in closer so my ear was next to his rose petal lips and I heard him whisper, "Roxas...R-rox...as."
I was stunned. I pulled my head back quickly as he turned onto his back and began to twist and turn. He was talking loud enough now that I could hear him clearly.
"No! No, don't! Please, take me instead!" He writhed some more and yelled, "NO! Don't hurt him please!"
My eyes grew wide at his last sentence. Was he talking about me? Was he? I didn't even think when I sat down next to him on the bed, my legs just carried me over to him. I shakily placed my hand onto his smooth forehead and caressed him slowly. Running my hand back and over his hair. I wiped away the sweat that had blossomed over him. He was shaking and whimpering, mumbling incoherently. Occasionally I would hear words like, 'No!' or 'Please don't.'. But other than that nothing else. When he had calmed down I kept stroking the side of his face, my hand seemed to not to want to leave him. It was magnetized to his flawless skin. What was wrong with me? I needed to stop, before I do something stupid.
But I did. As soon as I took another look at his lips I involuntarily began to lean down. I was centimeters away, and I gazed at him. How often do I get to be this close? I wanted to savor the momment.
And then he spoke again, silent tears squeezing themselves out of the corner of his eyes. Saying softly, "Roxas...don't hurt Roxas."
I couldn't do it. All of a sudden I became weak. I clutched at my chest crying out slightly. I fell to the ground and whimpered just as Sora had done minutes before. What is this? This feeling. It burns. I looked up and I saw him smiling. Not one of his famous toothy grins, but a soft smile. Was what Sora was feeling going into me? Or was something wrong. It subsided as his grin faded, and soon I got back up onto the bed. Sora...you have no idea the effect that you have on me.
I leaned down again and like an angel's kiss, brushed my lips against his. What he didn't know I would right? Everything's all right now. I began to fade back into him, a blue light emminating around myself.
Sora's POV:
I woke up just when a wierd blue light was fading away. What was that? I asked myself as I blinked a few times. I had the worst dream. Roxas was out of my body and we were fighting along side each other. He had just gotten rid of the last Nobody when Xemnas apeared out of a thick, forboding, black cloud.
He said in his eerie voice, "Sora...here's the day...you hoped would never come."
Roxas growled angrily and flew forwards at him, brandishing his two keyblades and yelling, "Don't talk to Sora like that!"
"Heh." Xemnas breathed. He held out his hand and a giant sword appeared in it. Roxas just kept charging at him, but I knew that he was no match.
I screamed, "NO! ROXAS!"
I was too late. Xemnas swung down hard and fast. I closed my eyes, but I still heard the whoosh of it comming down and the cry of Roxas, and the thud of him falling back onto the ground. I opened them to see that Xemnas was laughing maniacally, and Roxas clutching at his bleeding chest on the ground.
"Damn you!" he yelled up at his opponent.
He wasn't pleased with what Roxas said to him. He turned and swung again, but this time I ran forwards and threw up my keyblade. I held his sword above my head and screamed, "Don't hurt him! Please don't! Take me instead!"
Xemnas chuckled and lowered his weapon and said, "Alright, let's settle this."
I let down the keyblade, and was getting ready to fight, when I felt the rush of wind in front of me. I quickly raised my head to see that Xemnas had charged and was standing right in front of me. Nose-to-nose. He smirked, but I didn't understand why for a second. And then I heard it. I really felt my heart stop for a second. A sickening cry had escaped from behind me. A gurgleing sound accompanying it. My eyes grew wide, and then I whipped around.
Xemnas had thrust his sword under my arm and through Roxas' torso. He lay on the ground pinned by the huge metal knife. He clutched at it, his knucles turning white he was gripping so tightly. A trail of blood had run down from the corner of his mouth down his porcelin skin, that was slowly growing paler by the second, to drip to the ground below.
"No..." I whispered faintly, my voice failing me. Roxas had tears in his eyes as he gazed up at me.
Anger flarred up inside. Starting from deep in my gut to engulfing my entire body in flames. I turned, swinging my keyblade at Xemnas, but I was too late. He was dissapearing into his black fog again.
"BASTARD!" I cried swinging as hard as I could, but it was no use. It only went through vapor. I breathed heavily for a second, cursing myself for being so naive.
And then I remembered, "Roxas..."
Running swiftly back over to him, I fell to my knees, feeling my tears of hatred turn to tears of grief. I lifted his head slightly and placed my hand under to make him more comfortable. My tears spilling over and splashing down upon Roxas' cold lips. He smiled softly and raised his hand up to caress my cheek. And the wierd thing was, was that I could almost actually feel him doing it.
"D-don't worry..." he choked out, more blood bubbling out the corners of his mouth, "Please, don't cry. It makes me s-sad to see you l-like that."
I smiled despite the situation, and I saw his eyes sparkle as I did so. He shakily raised his head up close to mine. Our lips centimeters apart. He stopped just before we ended up kissing and whispered, "Whatever happens...don't stop smiling Sora. I wouldn't be able to cheer up if you did."
He fell back, coughing and wheezing. I cried out, "Roxas!"
I caught his head before it hit the ground and I watched him in horror. When he said that, I got this wierd feeling in my chest. Right where my heart is. A warmpth, resonating deep within. "No. Roxas, you'll be okay! Don't worry. I'll get you help! You'll be fine!"
I was saying this more to comfort myself more than anything, and he could tell. He raised his head again shaking it from side to side slightly. And soon I felt his lips leave the sweetest, most tender kiss. It was like a butterfly had landed on my mouth for just a momment, and then fly away. And just as he pulled away his eyes closed and he-
That was it. That was when I woke up. I didn't find out if he had really died in my dream, it scared me. Just the thought of that happening to him made me cringe. But I felt it. That kiss. It was just like when he had touched my cheek. Like it really happened. I raised my hands to brush up against them. Mimicking what had happened in the dream, and felt the same thing. Roxas...
What was I thinking! I shouldn't be thinking that! Or having those kinds of terrible dreams! Maybe I'm just skitterish about the procedure. Yeah. That's it. That has to be. I sighed, letting my hand fall back ontop of the covers. That was when I felt...oh my god. WHAT! I jumped up slightly, my eyes flying to my lower body. And that's where I saw it. I had been aroused? BY A GUY?
"Roxas? Are you awake?" I asked. No answer.
Good. Now I can take care of this. I went to the bathroom and a few minutes later I came back out and changed my clothes. I pulled on new boxers (of course) and got my regular outfit on. The blue jeans under the navy blue and yellow chapps with the skin-tight red and blue shirt, and the yellow, grey, white and blue hoodie without the sleeves. I checked myself out in the mirror and fixed my hair a little before I went down the stairs to the kitchen.
Roxas' POV:
As soon as I had materialized back into Sora I passed out. But not before I noticed that he had woken up. That was close. When I woke up next, Sora was in the bathroom being angry at a little problem in his pants. Did he know that I kissed him? Was he dreaming about me? Is that what caused...it? But, I had enough decensy to close my eyes. But, I couldn't help but listen as he took care of it. Even when I plugged my ears. He's a moaner alright. He at leased could have toned it down a bit, I mean he does have roommates right?
After he was finnished I made shure that he had pants on before I opened my eyes. And when he was changing I closed them. I do know privacy. I know that I wouldn't want people watching me as I changed. And so when we were heading down the stairs to breakfast I decided that I could say something.
Morning Sora. I said trying to sound groggy. Maybe it was still too soon. He jumped about a foot in the air and nearly tumbled down the stairs out of fright.
"Jesus Roxas! You scarred me!" he said clutching at his chest.
Whoa! Sorry Sora! I didn't mean to.
He sighed shaking his head saying, "No. It's okay, you just surprised me. That's all. H-how long have you been up anyways?"
Just now. I felt bad about lying, but I don't think it would go over well if I said, 'When you were whacking off.' So I kept quiet.
"Oh, well, good morning!" he said, smiling widely.
Morning to you too...You know...I love it when you smile. It just makes me happy. I always know it'll be a good day when you smile first thing when I wake up.
Had I said too much. Even before I had finnished he stopped dead in the middle of pouring out milk for pancakes. He set it down and asked me shakily, "W-what did you s-say?"
I said, 'Your smile...it makes me happy.' Is that wrong?
He was silent for a couple seconds and then shook his head again and said quickly, "No! It's nothing! I'm glad that I make you happy."
I blushed slightly as he said that. Thank goodness he didn't notice. We ate breakfast quietly. When we had finnished he wrote a note saying that we were going to go visit Kairi and Riku on the Island. We got on the gummi ship and arrived. It was just like it had been when we left it. Completely unchanged. Still perfect. Sora jumped onto the beach and landed with a soft thud. Whiping the sand off his pants, he didn't see the blur of pink hurtling at him in time. I tried to warn him, but I was too late. Kairi had tackled him already. Soon followed by Riku.
"Whoa Kairi! You got faster!" Sora said, giggling as he tickled both of them off.
"Naw! She's only fast when you come back!" Riku gufawed, patting Sora on the back and leading him off to their favorite place to hang out.
Kairi jumped up and yelled after them, "Hey wait a second! Wait for MEEEEEEE!"
They both laughed, and soon the three of them were sitting on the tree they always sat on, and were watching the horizon. It was later over here than in Hollow Bastion, so the sun was just begining to set as they settled. It was breathtaking. No one spoke, and I'm glad they didn't. It would have ruined the momment. But sadly it ended. Suddenly Kairi jumped down and stood in front of the two boys bashfully. Gazing at her shoes instead of making eyecontact with them.
"Kairi...maybe we should wait a bit-" Riku began, worredly glancing over at Sora.
Kairi cut him off, "No! He should hear this. We're his friends, he deserves to know."
Riku nodded and joined her, standing next to her with his hands in his pockets, he too became very interested in his shoelaces. What were they trying to tell him?
"Sora..." Kairi began, finally looking up, "You know that we are best friends right?"
"Yeah..." Sora said bewildered.
"Well, Riku is my best friend too you know, but...uh...he just happens to be a bit more than a best friend."
That was the time Riku chose to slip his arm around her waist and pull her to him. She continued shyly, "We're...together now. You see?"
Sora didn't say anything. And it felt like hour after agonizing hour before he did, "That's great! I'm really happy for you guys!"
It wasn't the reaction that I was expecting, but I knew that he wasn't really. Kairi had promised him with the paoupu fruit keychain that they would end up together. It was destiny. I could tell that he was holding back tears as he hugged the both of them and danced around like an idiot. He was hurt, and it killed me to see that he didn't show it. I would have felt better if only he had shed maybe one tear, or even gotten angry.
When we said goodbye, and we were in the Gummi ship he finally let it come out. He put the brakes on and we floated. He placed his hands over his eyes and sobbed. This really killed me. I felt his heart breaking. I couldn't believe that those two bought his little act. Were they stupid or something? Apparently.
I couldn't stand it any longer. Just watching him and feeling helpless about not doing anything to comfort him was driving me insane. I separated myself from him for the second time that day and pulled him to his feet. He gazed at me through icy-blue watery eyes and sniffed, surprised by my sudden appearence. I smiled at him gently and pulled him into my chest. He cried even harder now. Large drops of water spilling over his cheeks and onto the metallic floor. I heard a little ding every time one hit. I stroked his hair and spoke softly to him. Comforting words.
"Shhh...It'll be alright. Don't worry. Shhh..."
He hiccuped and kept crying, eventually I knew that we would have to get home, so I sat down in the chair and pulled him into my lap. he snuggled up against me and cried softly, occasionally hiccuping or whimpering. But soon, he had fallen asleep. When we got home, I didn't want to wake him up, so I picked him up in my arms and carried him up to his room. I noticed that my light was fading fast, and that my time was almost up. His head rubbed slightly up against my shirt as I carried him through the house. And right as I set him down I began to dissapear back inside of him. I quickly pulled the covers up over him and gave him a swift kiss on the forehead. It was getting to be a new habbit of mine to kiss him while he was sleeping.
The blue light appeared all around him and I was back. I heard him whisper just one last word before I fainted again, "Roxas..."
a/n: Awww...it's cute, but sad at the same time. Please comment. Flames, I don't care for, but you can submit them if you want. Just know that if you say something that offends me greatly I will write you back, and I doubt that not every other word will be fuck, fucking, fucker, or something like that. Don't worry, I accept things about punctuation or my writing style, but if you say something other than that you will know about how I feel about that.
