Finally after the slow morning classes, It was noon which meant lunch time came around, Sora happily dragged Roxas through the halls in a rush to make it to the cafeteria, IT was pizza day and surprisingly throughout the crappy lunch at school, the pizza was the bomb.

"Roxas, Go faster. We don't wanna be late and have them run out of lunch!" Sora shouts.

Roxas smiled to himself, glad the boy could still be free to drag him around by the hand, this morning incident was forgotten. He always loved Sora for being himself, Sora's light lured him in more.

"Let me guess, You didn't eat breakfast this morning again, did you?" Roxas questions knowing that the brunette didn't like to eat in the morning unless the blonde made the meal.

"I'm pretty good at baking but cooking actual food, It's a giant war with the stove and the toaster jams on me all the time...Plus, I love your cooking more Roxy...And so, the answer to your question is an official no, I did not eat breakfast this morning." Sora replies.

Roxas felt his cheeks turn a shade of pink after hearing the brunette say he loved his cooking, now if only he'd say that he loved him. He forced the thought out of his mind and hurried them into empty line, he quickly picked up both of their trays setting them down and placing pizza on them along with sides of fruit and two cookies and their milks, he pays for their lunches and hands Sora his.

"Hmm...Taking control of the situation, I like that, Roxy. Now let's find the group." Sora says walking off to find their usual table.

'Wonder how much you'd like it when I take control of you in the bedroom.' Roxas thought, he cursed at himself for thinking that. He officially declared himself a perv, he ordered himself to stop thinking like that and he may have put a reminder to stop hanging around the dirty minded, Axel.

Roxas sighs and takes his time and follows after Sora seating at the table with Riku, Kairi, Axel, Namine and Yuffie.

"Wow Roxas, You really stood up to Seifer?" Kairi questions as soon as the blonde and the brunette sit down.

Roxas shrugs and glance over at Sora who smiled widely looking at him, waiting for a response it seems. He looked back at the rest assuming they were waiting for him to reply as well.

"It was nothing, Seifer was manhandling my best friend, I didn't like it so I wasn't just going to just stand by and let it go on, he needed to be put in his place..." Roxas answers munching on his fruit.

"Oh man, You should have gone ninja on him!" Yuffie chimes jumping up and punching her fists and doing an air kick excitedly, she sat down immediately after seeing Leon eyed her to sit down.

"No way, he would have just gotten detention, Roxy did enough, just by telling him to stop." Sora comments.

Roxas stays silent. He liked that Sora cared if he got detention but really if Seifer pushed him any further he would have beat the shit out of him and not care that he got detention, he would have been proud of himself.


Thinking of that, he failed to see Sora disappear from view. He looked around wondering where the brunette had gone, he looked to see he'd finished up his food so he wouldn't go starved.

"Your boy went to the restroom." Axel says noticing the blonde looking around, when it came to Sora, Axel could read Roxas easy on the subject of Sora.

"Hey Roxas, Ya gonna eat the rest of that?" Yuffie asks, she knew he was occupied with his thoughts.

"No you can have it, A ninja like yourself needs all the food you can get to keep up energy for battling the stuffed animals in your bedroom." Roxas replies, he watches her as she shovels down everything on the plate that use to belong to him.

"Treat him right, Roxas." Roxas turned his gaze to Riku who spoke so suddenly, Roxas was clueless on what the silver haired boy was saying.

"Excuse me?" Roxas asks.

"This group has been hanging out for a while now, I'm not blind and neither are the rest except Sora given he can be slow at catching onto things...He's my best friend, he has the biggest heart, he's always trying to save everyone by being good to them...I can see he's grown deeply fond of you and I can see you're in love with him so I ask you take care of him." Riku says.

"That's Riku's way of saying you have our blessing." Kairi adds a smile on her face.

The blonde turns his attention to the girl with red hair who dawned a cheeky smile. "What, You approve...I, uh...Thought you liked Sora, Don't you, Kairi?" Roxas asks, he was filled with shock, shocked to be even talking about the subject of feelings, especially their friend who they held very close and dear to their heart.

"I will always like Sora, he's my greatest friend, but I've known for a long time and accepted that his heart isn't with me..." Kairi replies. "Oh and a reminder, if you break his heart, I'll break your face...And let me tell you I've been training extra hard with Tifa." The red headed girl adds changing her cheeky smile to a sweet smile.

Roxas swallows, at that moment the girl scared him. He's seen the way Tifa knocked Cloud into the wall, It wasn't pretty. And god knows what Tifa could make out of a girl like Kairi who's already filled with great determination and fire.

"Understood." Roxas says, He knew even though he had the groups blessing that he wouldn't act on his feeling just yet.

He watched as Kairi got up taking Sora's and Yuffie's two trays along with hers and walked out with Namine following.

Roxas turned to the remaining, He blinks. "Are Kairi and Namine?" He asks needing the question that itched his brain answered.

"Oh yeah, Kairi and Namine have been together ever since that day Namine strolled in to save Kairi from Axel." Riku answers.

"Hey! I said I was sorry. Be happy in the end, I changed sides, I sacrificed myself to get you guys to where you are now." Axel spat.

"Sacrifice, Like Jashin! But Axel, You're here in the flesh, so clearly they didn't want you up in the fiery pits of hell." Yuffie comments taking strains of Axel's hair playing with it.

"No dear, Its because us organization members, nobodies only fade for a certain amount of time to recover and then come back." Axel explains.

Roxas gets up. "I'm gonna go find Sora, It's not like him to be gone so long..."

It wasn't like him, Roxas knew that very well.


Roxas wanders down the empty school hallway looking left and right to see if he could spot his friend, he turned the corner and growled at what he'd come across.

"Are ya gonna be a good little kid and do my homework for me?" Seifer asks, he grinned as he stood in front of the brunette who had exited from the restroom, it was like he was waiting for him.

"No, Now if you'll excuse me I have a group of friends to get back too so get lost jerk face." Sora replied strongly, his blue eyes looking at the male hoping he didn't show any sign of fright.

Sora shrieked being grabbed by the collar and thrown against the wall, Seifer looked at him angrily.

"You don't tell me what to do you little loser, Now try again, You will do my work or I'll come back with Rai and Fuu to kick your little ass." Seifer threatens.

Sora's eyes grew wide with shock having the taller man ripped off him and thrown against a locker, his eyes first landed on the Oblivion keyblade that was summoned pointing Seifer's way, he then looked up to see a pissed off Roxas.

"R-Roxas, King Mickey and Leon and...And Cloud told us to not use our abilities from the adventures here...We are suppose to go on as if we were normal teens." Sora stammered going to Roxas's side.

"Listen here buddy, Be sure to wrap your tiny brain around my words, Sora will not be doing any work for you so your harassment stops, If I see you or even hear that you've threatened or lay your filthy hands on my friend, I will shove this keyblade into your chest and put an end to your trouble making days..." Roxas snaps his rage taking control of him, he ignored Sora telling him using the blade for this was wrong, deep down Roxas knew it was wrong but in the moment he could care less.

Seifer struggles to get to his feet, he was shaking as he stood and looked at the blonde and then hurried off leaving the friends alone.

"Roxas, H-He's going to tell!" Sora shouts worriedly.

Roxas dismissed his keyblade and looked into Sora's eyes. "Trust me, he won't...With the way he was acting he doesn't want to risk getting killed, Everything is in it's place now."

"I trust you." Sora responds, he looks down.

Roxas sensed something was bothering the brunette, he knew it had to do with him summoning the keyblade for an evil purpose such as ending a bullies life.

"I'm sorry, Sora." Roxas says.

Deep down that was a Lie. Roxas knew that, he wasn't sorry for holding that blade inches away from Seifer's ugly heart, he wasn't sorry for putting fear into the bullies mind, all he cared about was making sure his Sora was taken care of. In the end, he knew that forming the words of an apology would make Sora feel okay about it all.

"Thank you." Sora says. "Let's get to our last class..Coach Lockhart hates it when students are late for her class." The brunette adds turning and heading off to class.

Roxas stood watching him walk away, he was a bit shocked that the boy didn't drag him along, the small thought crossed his mind and made his heart ache at it, He questioned himself, After all this time, Was Sora afraid of him?

Roxas glanced down the hall seeing Sora dissapear through the big tan doors of the gym, he looked behind him to hear Leon order him to get to class


"Hey Roxas?" Sora glanced over to Roxas who was already dressed in his gym wear.

"What's up?" Roxas replies, he looked up from tying his sports shoes, he had to control himself and make sure his jaw didn't drop from the sight in front of him, man he really should have been use to it but no luck.

Sora stood in front of him wearing on his gym shorts, the only thing that even rested on his upper body was his crown necklace. Roxas cursed himself hoping he wasn't blushing.

"Ummm, Could I borrow a shirt of yours, I forgot to take my shirts home to wash, I have nothing in my locker." Sora says.

"Yeah, Of course." Roxas replies, he turns away and fishes out one of his spare gym tanks handing it to the brunette who quickly took it and pulled it over his head and pulled it down, it hung loosely on the boy.

"Thanks, I didn't want to be running out there in my birthday suit, that would just be awkward..." Sora says, he hugs Roxas and then slips his shoes on and skips out to the gym.

Roxas felt himself heat up just by having his friend wear his shirt, by the remark of his birthday suit. The little things made Roxas's day, he groaned at the thought of Physical Education because now their was a problem forming between his legs thanks to the images he'd gotten after Sora mentioned birthday suit.

"Go home, I'll cover for ya, I'll tell coach hottie that you weren't feeling well." Axel steps out from the other side of the lockers and winks knowingly.

Roxas growled, he was kind of creeped out that the pyro could read him so easily, He knew he wasn't going to get any work done here and so with Axel's offer, he ditched his gym clothes put on his regular clothes and headed home.


Sora glanced back at the changing rooms, he'd seen Axel walk out and was now waiting to see Roxas, nothing.

"If you're looking for Roxas, He won't be joining us...Roxas went home, he wasn't feeling gym today...Wasn't feeling well." Axel says to Sora to take his assigned place.

Sora looked back and then down saddened. He wondered if he should go tend to his friend, in fact that was what he was going to do, he spun around to go back into the changing room but was stopped by Tifa.

"And Where do you think you're going, Sora?" Tifa asks. "You're assigned spot is right over there next to miss Kisaragi." She adds motioning for Sora to return to his designated spot.

"Roxas isn't feeling well and went home, I was hoping to go look after him, since its just the two of us living at home, Ma'am." Sora says.

"Very well. But be sure to be ready for your next class of physical education, I'll have you running around the school more than once." Tifa says.

Sora bolted returning to the locker room, he changed out of his shorts and into his pants and switch his shoes, he decided to keep the tank due to the heat outside, he walked out and grabbed his stuff from his regular locker and took off to go home.
