(A/N) Tee hee! Long story! My internet has been mean lately. I put a lot of thought into it so be happy! I know I am! Runs around in a circle

Roxas moped for the rest of the school day. He barely noticed everyone get up when the last bell rang. He scooped up his book bag from his seat and stood up.
Everyone in the class room had left and the teacher was at his desk going through papers from last week's quiz.
Roxas scanned the empty room for a minute than began to walk out the door. He didn't notice the silver haired boy in the back of the room till he went up to the teacher and asked about the homework.
Roxas quickly whirled around to Riku's voice to see him standing in front of the desk waving a paper near the teacher.
Riku swung his book bag around and put his homework in it and thanked the teacher for answering his questions. He turned around to see Roxas staring at him in the middle of the door way. He quickly swung his book bag over and smiled.
Roxas was embarrassed and turned to walk out into the hall but Riku grabbed his shoulder making him slow down.
Riku said, "Hey Roxas, why are you in a hurry today?"
Roxas stared at his feet as they walked down the empty hall. He said, "No reason."
Riku looked at the blond boy and laughed, "Normally you're really slow." He stopped laughing and became serious. He stared down the empty hall and asked, "Hey Roxas? Why do you avoid me?"
Roxas quickly looked up at the old boy and smiled gently while saying, "Riku, I don't try to avoid you, it's just that I just moved here and it's kind of hard for me to make friends."
Riku said, "Sora has been talking a lot about you lately, I guess with you moving here and all. When he told me about you I imagined a hot-tempered boy kind of like me, but you seem nothing like the person Sora has told me about. Kind of funny how we imagine things, sometimes a little too dramatic." He smiled and laughed lightly.
Roxas joined him for a minute then said, "Yeah, well, Sora always told me that you would pin me up against a wall and beat me to a pulp if I ever made you mad."
Both boys walked together talking on their way home.
When Roxas arrived at his house the lights inside were already on. He waved goodbye to Riku and stepped inside his cozy house.
Namine was sitting on the steps drawing something. She looked up from her notebook and said smiling, "Hello Roxas! Dinner's in the kitchen."
Before Roxas could turn the corner to enter the kitchen Namine caught him by asking, "Roxas, why were you late today?"
Roxas grabbed the door facing's and said, "I was walking with Riku."
Namine know something was going on but she didn't want to say anything so she just muttered into her notebook, "Oh, ok."
Roxas turned the corner and saw a plate on the counter full of chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, and a glass of tea beside it. He sighed and muttered to himself, "Namine, you don't have to cook that much." He picked up the plate and glass and set them down at the table. He sat down and ate only a few bits. Everyone at school called him anorexic but he only had a small appetite.
Roxas got up and pushed his chair in. He climbed up the steps to see his sister in her room doing her homework on her white bed. He turned the corner and went into his room. His room was almost all blue, blue walls, blue rugs, blue sheets, blue curtains. One thing in his room wasn't blue. A spot on his wall with a giant board, on it, it said written in big, bold letters, "Don't dream!"
The words repeated in Roxas' head till he became angry at them. He grabbed the board, ripped it from its place and threw it half way across the room. He stared at the board for a minute then grabbed it once again to break it into two pieces. He quickly grabbed both pieces and threw them into his closet. He didn't want to see them again.
Roxas got up on his bed and curled into a ball and fell asleep.
That night Roxas had dreamt of a place named, The World That Never Was. He saw Riku and saw many people he never even knew, but somehow he knew most of their names.
Roxas woke up to the loud beeping noise coming from his nightstand. He grabbed the alarm clock and threw it at the wall hoping it would break.
Namine yelled to Roxas as she skipped down the steps, "Get up, sleepy head!"
Roxas thought about the dream for the rest of the day. He barely noticed the last bell again.
Riku got up and caught up with Roxas on his way out of the door. He grabbed Roxas' shoulder and turned the younger boy around to face him.
Roxas asked Riku in the empty hall letting it echo a little, "Hey Riku? Do you ever dream?"
Riku stared straight ahead and said, "What kind of question is that?"
Roxas looked up at Riku and said in a demanding voice, "Just answer the question!"
Riku laughed at him and said, "Yeah sometimes, not much."
Roxas sighed and said, "Well I was just wondering."
Some teens came down the hall, they seemed like they were looking for something or someone.
Riku quickly grabbed Roxas and slammed him into some lockers, hiding Roxas' face from the group. He muttered under his breath, "God, I hope this works." He pinned one of Roxas' hands on the locker and captured him in a possessive kiss.
The teens saw them and some of the girls stared for a minute, one of the boys said loud enough for the whole group to hear, "Let's go to a different hall." They all turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Riku didn't pull away till the group left.
Roxas yelled at Riku, "What the hell was-?" He cut short by Riku's hand over his mouth.
Riku leaned closer to Roxas till their noses were about touching and said in a low calming voice, "Listen, that group was looking for you. I think people have been saying crap about you to make them mad."
Roxas grabbed Riku's hand and tore it away from his face. He said trying not to be too loud, "Well, ok, but what about that damn kiss?" He gave Riku a demanding stare till the older boy opened his mouth.
Riku sighed and said, "Well, I cause it was instincts to cover you like that, sorry."
Riku stepped back from Roxas and let him get off the lockers.
Roxas arrived home and dragged himself up into his room.
Namine was sitting on the steps watching her brother go to his room.
Again, that night Roxas continued to dream about that place from last night. He saw Riku, he didn't look the same. Dark trench coat, black blindfold covering his beautiful aqua eyes, the rain soaked his uncovered silver hair. He almost looked depressed.
Roxas fling up from his bed and realized he was sweating uncontrollably. He turned toward his alarm clock and began searching through the dark.
Finally, Roxas picked up a rectangle shaped object and pressed a button on the top to revile the lighted numbers.
1:48 a.m. Pretty early.
Roxas put his alarm clock back and laid down. He wondered what the dreams meant, why they showed terrifying images of Riku. 'Why?' He asked himself in his head.
