Chapter 3: The One Roxas Had Been Looking For.
"Nobody will miss me…" -Roxas, Kingdom Heart II
As Riku said this morning, he will see Sora tonight and indeed, at seven o'clock Riku arrived in front of Sora's house with a large bag over his shoulder. It was Roxas who opened the door and when he saw Riku, a smile formed over his face.
"Come in," Roxas said. Riku nodded at Roxas as greeting as he entered the house and without saying anything, he proceeded to upstairs. Knocking the door, he entered Sora's room and closed it afterwards before he turned to face his best friend.
"You're here." Sora smiled cutely while lying on stomach on his bed and has his palms under his chin. Riku did not say anything nor showed any expression but walked over to Sora's bed, placed his bag by the bed and flopped down next to Sora. "So…what are we going to do now?" Sora asked.
"Usual," replied Riku. Sora pouted.
"I'm fed up of playing video game, Riku. Can't we play anything else?" Sora asked, pleaded.
"Whatever you say," Riku said. Sora stared, waited for Riku to smile but to no avail, the silver-haired man still had emotionless expression over his face. "What do you want to play?" Riku finally asked.
"I don't know," Sora replied, shrugged.
"Moron," Riku said. Sora pouted cutely. Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Sora exclaimed and the door of his room opened; Roxas entered with someone behind him. "Hmm?" Sora tilted his head as he glanced at the new person he had never seen before in his life.
It was a young man who had black spiky hairs and had green eyes that somehow reminded Sora of someone he got to know before. The hair looked a lot like Leon from Radiant Garden while the green eyes were looking ever so familiar. Like someone really close to him or Roxas.
"Sora, this is Lea," Roxas introduced. Sora blinked. He sensed nervousness from his Nobody. Just because they were not in the same body anymore, does not mean Sora could not feel what Roxas was feeling right now. Somehow, they were linked even after separated.
"Hello," Lea greeted as he stood a few centimeters away from Sora who finally realized the young man had approached him. "Nice to meet you. You must be Roxas's older twin brother," said Lea.
"Um…yes, I am," Sora said.
"Why, I never thought Roxas has such a cute brother! So, what's your name?" Lea asked, his green eyes were shimmering.
"Um…Sora," replied Sora. Lea squealed, to Sora's shock.
"Such a beautiful and meaningful name. Sora mean sky and sky mean free. That's mean you are free from anything and also has a hidden meaning that's telling me you are also free from having partner in life, right?" Lea leaned close to Sora until their face just inches away.
"U-Um…w-whatever you mean?" Sora was blushing red.
"I am asking if you have a girlfriend. Or boyfriend?" Lea asked. Sora's eyes widened. Before he could answer in stammer, he was pulled to sit up by collar from behind and he stared in shock as Riku glared deadly at Lea. Riku's hand was now holding Sora's firmly.
"Who the hell is he?" Riku asked Roxas.
"New neighbor," replied Roxas. "Just arrived this morning." Riku frowned.
"Oh, new neighbor," Sora smiled. "Welcome to neighborhood, Lea!"
"Aww! So cute!" Lea was about to hug Sora when he noticed Riku's glare on him. "So…anyone want to meet my younger brother?" Lea asked.
"No," Riku replied instantly.
"Aww Riku, we have new neighbor today. We should get to know them," Sora whined.
"No," Riku said, frowning.
"But it's much fun than playing boring video game," Sora pouted. He shuddered when Riku gave him a deadly and still glare on him before he bowed to avoid the eyes.
"Now, now Riku (?), don't be mad on Sora. He just want some fun," said Lea. Riku glared at him instead. "You don't want Sora to cry, do you?" Lea asked. Riku frowned more. Then he looked at Sora to find the brunet was biting his own lip. Somehow, seeing Sora's expression like that made his heart softened and could not help but to feel guilty.
"Fine," Riku said. Sora instantly looked at Riku and a wide grin formed over his face. Seeing the stupid smile made Riku smirked a little and his smirk enough to make Sora turned red.
"All right then! Let's go to my house!"
It took only a minute for them to arrive in front of Lea's house. It was just a medium-sized house that had no specialties but the beautiful small pond by the gate. Sora, Riku and Roxas watched as Lea pressed the bell of his house and a very long song echoed from inside the house.
"I hope he's home," said Lea. "We just moved but he already take a walk."
"Have you packed out your things?" Sora asked.
"Nope. Not yet. I cannot do it alone without my brother," said Lea.
"Where is he going?" Sora asked.
"I don't know. He just told me he wanted to talk a walk though I knew he was lying," said Lea.
"Why?" Sora asked again.
"Because he's been acting strange this lately. Well, more like since I told him we're going to move to Destiny Mainland," Lea replied, shrugging. Sora tilted his head as he examined Lea from top to toe.
'Lea looks like…'
"How old are you, Lea?" Roxas asked.
"Eighteen years old," replied Lea. "Why?"
"Nothing," Roxas said as he looked around. "What about your younger brother?" Roxas asked.
"…Eighteen too," replied Lea, quirking his eyebrow. "Why do you ask? You're interested on my brother?" Lea asked, grinning. Roxas snorted before he frowned. "Well, he's actually my twin brother."
"Really?" Sora's eyes widened. "Hey Lea…is there any possibility your twin brother is-" At this moment, the song from inside the house stopped its melody and they heard fast and loud footstep from within followed by the cracking of the doorknob.
Roxas did not know why but the moment the door started to rattle slightly, he felt his heart beats so fast as if he had run for hundreds of miles or defeated thousand of Heartless. Something like images started to float before his own very eyes, causing blurriness over his vision.
The door cracked and slowly opened. Sora and Roxas watched in nervous, anxious before shock after the door opened completely. The door opened and revealed one young man whom one of them knew very much and really missed and the other had his debt against with.
Standing by the door, stood a young man who had flaming red hair and beautiful emerald eyes. No wonder Lea's emerald eyes looked so damn familiar. They were not only familiar but they belong to one person's. They were from the same soul and spirit. From the same gene and same body.
The emerald-eyed-young man widened upon seeing two twins before him and shock could be seen over his face. Soon, the face replaced by a wide grin - a grin Roxas came to love before.
"Rox!" The redhead man hugged Roxas tightly. The blonde was beyond shock. He was speechless and he was motionless. He did not know how, what, or when to react but one thing he knew, as soon as he regained his conscious back, he could not help but to hug the redhead and said one thing.
"Axel…"
