Disclaimer: If I owned Kingdom hearts, I would be rich enough to own a PS3. But since I don't own one, I guess I don't own Kingdom Hearts. Guess it belongs to those rich bastards in Japan and Disney. I bet they all have PS3s.
Author's Note: So yeah. This is the chapter that really shows where everything is going. We finally get into the plot! Anyway, I can't really say much here. So read and Review please!! I haven't gotten one and I'm getting worried that this story really sucks.

br /br br /br Dinner had been interesting. Sora and Kairi and Yuffie were practically bouncing off the walls during the whole meal, giving me, Aerith, and Leon rather painful headaches. But I had been willing to sit through that for Sora. If I left he would have been the first to notice and the whole mood would have been ruined.
What really took the cake, though, was what happened after dinner. It was the events after dinner that were responsible for me waking up and looking around the very unfamiliar room. It was the events that were responsible for my five-minute long confusion before I realized there was another person lying in bed beside me, causing more confusion. The events were responsible when I turned over and looked at the face of the man I was in bed with and almost groaned in agony.
I pushed the covers down just enough to see that I still had my boxers on and Leon's tight leather pants still clung to his hips. It'd almost happened again. Leon stirred beside me, shifting slightly and grunting. Leon looked so different when sleeping. I would never say he looked angelic, like I knew Kairi and Sora did. No, he looked… normal. He wasn't brooding or scowling or anything else that Leon looked like awake. He was calm and content in his slumber.
Sighing softly, I snuggled into the covers and contented myself with watching Leon through my awakening headache. I could see why this kept happening, with his delicately beautiful face and more than sufficient masculinity. But everything only happened between us in those foggy moments of alcohol-induced release. When drunk we were something nice for each other, but never what the other needed; our passions usually born of a frustration with a certain blonde and spiky-haired warrior.
Last night had been different, though. While on the normal night out with Leon, we would often get drunk complaining about Cloud. Me for the fact he looked so much like Sora; Leon because Cloud wasn't sure he was gay and kept stringing Leon on. We'd get drunk and in the stupor would do many foolish things, all in the want of a release of tension.
But last night there had been others. Last night there was Sora. There was Kairi. There was Aerith and Yuffie and Cid. I could only pray that the others had managed to get Kairi so piss ass drunk that she wouldn't be able to remember me and Leon being piss ass drunk enough to feel each other up. I was one of those sad/horny drunks; I knew I'd have been all over him, if not Sora. But considering my location, I knew Leon had done a nice job of keeping me off the younger brunette and occupied with him.
After a few moments Leon groaned and peaked an eye open. He muttered something that sounded like gibberish when he saw me. I stayed quiet, just looking at him and a few moments later he tried speaking again, his voice husky and gruff, "We didn't, did we?"
"No," I breathed, my voice husky as well. "I'm not sore."
"Good. How bad's your hangover?"
"Getting there." Rubbing my temple gingerly, I turned on my back.
"You know you're going to have to take Sora and Kairi with you to go see the King, right?"
"Then why the fuck did you take us drinking?" I snapped, just barely above a whisper.
"That was all Yuffie's idea," he snapped back just as quietly.
"Oh," I murmured, defeated. "So how plastered did everyone else get?"
"I think Sora and Aerith stayed sober. Kairi and Yuffie were playing some drinking game about the time I knocked back my sixth malt and you were knocking back your fifth shot of vodka. Don't remember too much after that." I groaned lightly at the news. Now I didn't really know for sure about any of the events last night. I knew I had had at least ten shots of vodka that night, judging by the giant whole in my memory. It was a miracle I wasn't naked. I must have passed out before anything happened.
"You're no help," I whined.
"Get the fuck out of my bed," He growled, pushing playfully. "It's time to get the kids up"
"Uhg. Fiiiiiine." Pushing myself up, I scanned for my clothes around the room. After spotting them strewn across the floor I rolled off the bed and crawled to them. Leon groaned somewhere behind me and threw a pillow. I whimpered at the momentary increase of pressure in my head, but let it all go when I finally reached the clothes.
After successfully pulling my pants on without standing up (Leon had a field day snickering at the attempt, as it involved me rolling around in some of the most disturbing poses and shaking my ass around in the air—the whole thing looking like something Sora would do), Leon tossed a bottle at my head. I grimaced and turned it to see that it was hangover medication. I took some and threw it back, nodding in thanks. I was too tired and hung over to really care for my shirt for the moment and stood.
I left Leon's bedroom and headed for the large kitchen and began rummaging around in the fridge. There wasn't much, so I settled for a carton of milk and sat down at his bar island. Despite the stools being there, I doubted Leon ever ate in the kitchen. He seemed more the type to go for the bachelor TV dinner on a couch with an action movie playing.
Leon emerged from the guest room a moment later, a tired Kairi trailing behind. She yawned and held her head all at once before shrieking at the site of me. Sora promptly fell out of the room, pants half pulled up concerned over Kairi. Seeing the brunette like that, sprawled on the floor and his pants not up high enough to cover his boxers, stirred something in the pit of my stomach. I turned away, focusing back on the milk in my hand. I began chugging, not caring if anyone else wanted any.
"R-Riku!" Kairi finally stuttered, getting over the initial shock. She was pointing at me with a disturbed look on her face.
"Huh? Riku's here?" Sora echoed a moment later, scooting across the floor to better see me.
"Why are you here?" Kairi asked a bit skeptically. I paid her no heed as I continued drinking down the smooth white substance. I think Leon noticed the subtle innuendo of my drink of choice. He smirked lightly as he headed over to me and patted me on the shoulder.
"Riku was too drunk to be safe on his own, so I brought him back here. He does stupid things when drunk." I choked on my milk when he said that, noting the reference to all of the times I'd either slept with him or someone else when drunk. The white liquid dripped down my chin as I scowled at him.
"Hey, It wasn't like I was the only one so piss ass drunk they couldn't walk a straight line," I growled. Leon just shook his head, pulling a carton of eggs from the fridge.
"Riku never acted stupider than an average person when he got drunk in high school," Kairi said, still looking a little bit nervous and confused. I sighed at her naïveté.
"He was trying to prevent a suicide attempt, Kairi," I supplied after a long moment. Another lie, but only me and Leon knew. "I'm one of those sad, angsty drunks, and I did just go through that violent break-up."
"Oh," Kairi said, shrugging it off as acceptable. She turned towards Leon's guest bathroom and locked the door. Sora scrambled to get up and managed to pull his pants on all the way before disappearing back into the guest bedroom. I mourned slightly at the lost view, but steeled my emotions over. There would be no room for them today of all days.
Sora reappeared a few moments later with a fresh shirt. He took a seat beside me, and Leon began frying his eggs.
"So," Sora started, "what are we doing today?"
"I suggest filling Kairi with hangover medicine and both of you investing in some nice showers and clothes. We're going to see The King." My answer was straight to the point and Sora nodded in understanding.
"I see. Kairi got pretty trashed last night, no thanks to Yuffie. She was complaining about a headache when Leon got us up."
"Does she remember anything?"
"I don't think so. She couldn't even walk alone."
"Then I guess that's really good for me."

I left the bunch not long after Kairi returned from her adventures in the bathroom, whatever they may have been. I needed fresh clothes and a good shower myself. I promised to meet them at Cid's in two hours and headed off. The first thing I did upon reaching my house was throw my clothes off quickly and get in the shower. After a nice ten minute shower I stepped out and picked out the only relatively nice clothing in my closet at the moment: a semi-tight, white button down with a black and grey pinstripes that I only buttones three-quarters of the way and slightly loose dark ash colored slacks. Cid had required them for diplomatic reasons, and they were the only things suitable to wear in front of King Mickey in his court.
If my suspicions were right, however, I'd be stopping back to get a better fighting outfit and then taking Sora and Kairi shopping for themselves.
Finally I dug through the top drawer in my dresser for all of my transportation documentation. After finding it, I shoved it in my back pocket and dashed out the door. I managed to get to Cid's a good thirty minutes before the others arrived and began preparing the designated gummyship for departure. By the time the engine had warmed up and all of the systems were operational and good to go, Sora and Kairi came bounding in.
"Oh, wow, Riku!" Kairi exclaimed. "It's even bigger than Sora's!" I blanched as I poked my head out. Sora's face was beat read at the comment and I knew we were both thinking the same thing. Why did Kairi have to be so innocent? Oh, yes. She was a princess.
"Yeah, It's a cargo ship, Kairi. It's meant to carry thing, not fight, like Sora's was. I'm piloting. This one's harder to handle than the little passenger ships," I finally managed to say.
"Aw! I was looking forward to getting in the cockpit's driver's seat again." Sora, you could drive in my cockpit anytime. That stick shift of mine is just crying to be cranked and shifted to your whim, 'cause Lord knows I sure as hell wasn't an automatic kind of guy. I quickly cleared y mind after those thoughts, not needing a certain little problem.
"Come on and get in. We need to be leaving. It's at least an hour and a half through the routes you opened Sora. You should know pretty damn well that we don't need t be stalling."
"Yeah, I guess you're right Riku," Sora said, a thoughtful look on his face as he placed his hands behind his head. Kairi walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. He smiled down at her a pulled her close, kissing her on the forehead. "Mmm. Come on hon."
"Alright!" Kairi said cheerfully as she leaned up and pecked Sora on the lips. She pulled away after that and headed up the boarding steps. I couldn't help but notice the way Sora's eyes followed Kairi with poorly hidden love and desire. It made me want to throw up.
Sora followed soon after. I gave his ass an appreciative glance before closing the hatch and taking my seat. It didn't take long to finish the launch procedure and we were off. I loved the feel o power piloting gave me. It was so refreshing. The only thing dampening my mood was Kairi claiming airsickness. She moaned about it for a good while until Sora distracted her. It was what he distracted her with that began to unnerve me. They were most likely making out from the wet sounds and the occasional sigh or giggle or moan or whisper.
I sighed it off as I caught sight of The Magic Kingdom. I called in requesting a place to dock and sent the ships credentials. Since the roads between worlds had been "paved", Disney Castle had gotten a lot of visitor in to see the king. Even if Chip and Dale knew the pilots they still had to receive the proper paper work. I made quick work of docking and we exited with few words exchanged.
It was funny, really, because upon our arrival Sra practically jumped Donald and Goofy. He'd cried the first time we were reunited, but he barely bat an eye this time. It was funny because no one seemed too terribly exited to see me, even if it had been three years since I'd come to Mickey with my request.
"Oh my God, guys! You've barely changed!" Sora exclaimed upon receiving their crushing hugs.
"And look at you, Sora! You're as tall as Riku now! A'hyuk!" Goofy said as he stepped back. I frowned sightly and stepped into view.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, Goofy, but I grew quite a bit too." I smirked down at him in a smug but friendly matter. Donald only humphed before starting down the corridor to the palace garden.
"Come on you guys! We need to go see the king! It's urgent!"
"Oh! That's right! A'hyuk! This needs our immediate attention!" I nodded in understanding and began moving behind Donald and goofy. Sora lagged behind a little with a wide-eyed Kairi. I sighed lightly, not knowing how much more of them I could take before going crazy. It was like high school all over again.
The castle was every bit a beautiful as I remembered it, though. The perfectly sculpted shrubbery stood tall and proud. The walls were as sparkling white as ever. The guard was flawless in it's guard change. And most importantly, there was a feeling of cheer and happiness in the place that just made it impossible to frown.
"Just like I remember," Sora muttered from behind me. I smiled slightly at that. Yes, Sora had come here too, but unfortunately for different reasons that me. He was saving the universe; I was running from my life.
"Really, Sora? I can't believe it wouldn't change after so long. So it was really like this when you came here the first time?" Kairi asked. I glanced back to see them walking arm and arm, Kairi pressed close to Sora's body.
"Yeah, well, except the heartless, it's just the same, really." We moved into the castle and Kairi made a few more curious observations and we walked the short remaining distance to the throne room.
"Oh, wow!" Kairi busted out when we stopped in front of the doors. "Those doors are so huge!"
"A lot of castles have doors like that, Kairi. It gives a sense of authority and power. They really aren't that big. Look." I pointed over to Donald as he pushed the door open. Kairi ohed again as we walked through the doors. How could this girl seriously not know about these kinds of doors? She spent the early part of her life in Radiant Garden's castle! Honestly, Kairi was either very dumb or very good at acting. It was unnerving how she could be this way and still have Sora as a mate.
We began our long walk down the throne room, taking our time. People and brooms were running about, carrying papers, buckets, and other such things. Mickey was on his throne, conversing with several people, all of which looked to be his advisers.
"You're majesty, they're here! They're here!" Donald called as he finally broke into a run about three feet from the King. The crowd of advisors parted and Mickey perked up. He leapt down from his perch and ran the rest of the way to meet us, practically jumping me on sight.
"Riku! Sora, Kairi! Oh, I'm so glad you could make it on such short notice!" He said as he dropped down from my hold.
"No Problem, your Majesty," Sora said, placing hands behind his legs and leaning back, a goofy grin on his face. "We needed to visit anyway."
"Sora, we're on business. King Mickey wouldn't call us unless he thought something was wrong."
"Riku's right, Sora. Something is going horribly wrong, but let's not talk about it here. Let's go to my library."
BR /BR BR /BR -ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox- BR /BR BR /BR
"So what's so important that you need e to see all three of us?" Kairi asked as she sat in one of the plush chairs in front of Mickey's desk. I had a sinking suspicion of what it was going to be, already. Sephiroth was out on a rampage. I just knew it in my gut.
"Well," the king started, folding his hands in front of him on his desk, "You see there have been a few disturbances on some worlds in the far reaches. It seems there have been some sittings of a new Keyblade Master."
"A new Keyblade Master? H-how is that possible? I thought we were the only ones," Sora said, leaning forward. He was voicing all of our thoughts. I, too, found it hard to believe that was yet another Keyblade Master.
"Kairi, summon the keyblade I gave you," I practically barked out. She looked at me, confused, for a moment before nodding and calling forth Oathkeeper. So it wasn't only a three-person deal.
"Riku, I don't think I works like that. The keyblade chooses it's own master. If there is a person with a strong enough heart in a time of danger, the keyblade will choose a new master. It was only a mater of time before another appeared. This isn't the first time, I'm sorry to say."
"This isn't the first time?" Sora asked, eyes almost bugging from his head.
"No, I'm afraid not Sora, but that's a tale for another day. The story gets worse," Mickey said gravely, staring at his desk.
"Worse? How can it get worse? How was it bad in the first place?" Kairi demanded, leaning forward and placing her hand over her breasts.
"Not all keyblade bearers are good, Kairi. I'm a prime example of that," I clarified.
"No, Riku! You were just confused for a little while! Maleficent deceived you! It wasn't your fault! We know you're not like that!" Kairi defended me. She always tried to make me feel better--she always tried to make everyone feel better—but it always hit my strings wrong.
"You don't know anything, Kairi. You never even really tried to understand anything about my time in Darkness. So don't write it off as someone else's fault. I opened my heart to Darkness. I destroyed our world. I opened my heart to Xehanort's heartless, and I pretty damn well near killed Sora over you. I'm willing to take the blame for it, so don't write it off as someone else's fault." My voice was calm through the monologue despite the biting undertone it held, but Kairi refused to back off.
"That's not true Riku!"
"Just stop, Kairi. Please. Just stop, honey," Sora barely whispered as he took Kairi's arm. He didn't look her in the eyes and I knew that he knew what I meant. Kairi would never understand. She had been either out cold or oblivious to our activities for most of our adventures and when she did join, everything was laid out for her. She had it the easiest.
"You have to work together on this. It is not the time to fight amongst yourselves. There have been sittings of men in black cloaks."
"The organization?" Sora said, finally looking up.
"Black cloaks could mean a lot of things. They could be anyone from the dark realm. The King and I both wore them during our time helping you out from the Dark Realm," I explained before Mickey could. "Besides, we defeated them all, didn't we?"
"Exactly. But it doesn't hurt to check it out. Black cloaks are rarely good signs." Mickey gave us a stern look over before speaking again, "I don't expect you to head out tonight. I think it would be good if you got some rest tonight and headed back tomorrow. You need to stock up."
"Uhg! Yes. We definitely need to take supplies with us. Last journey I started out with nothing. I swear, Leon almost killed me!"
"You're such a pansy, Sora," I chuckled.
"Hey! I thought we agreed I was better!"
"That was almost six years ago, Sora. You gained weight and loss muscle. I'm back to being the best." I began chuckling quietly to myself. Sora was pouting so cutely. So fucking cute. So god fucking damn cute that I wanted to kiss him, but Kairi beat me to it.
"Aw. It's ok Sora. You're still the best in my mind." Sora smiled up at her and pulled her back down for another kiss, this time pulling a little more than just his lips into it. Kairi giggled when she pulled away. I wanted to throw-up, but it wasn't like there was anything to throw-up anyway. Mickey looked at me with a little bit of concern.
"I hear you've been going out for quite a while, Sora, Kairi," Mickey said, drawing their attention away from each other's eyes.
"Hmmm? Oh yeah. I guess we have. Almost four years now, right dear?" Kairi said as she forced Sora to move over in his chair.
"Yeah. We're planning a wedding for when we get back to Destiny Islands."
"Oh! Well, congratulations!" Mickey said brightly as he flashed me a quick glance. I simply nodded to let him know that I was fine with it, despite how fine I really wasn't.

Dinner had been extravagant. Even though I'd only eaten a plate and a half, I felt full and sleepy. The only thing that was really deterring me at the moment was next-door's activities.
I'd been shown my room immediately after dinner and had taken a nice long, hot shower. When I'd come out afterwards, hoping to flop on my bed and fall right asleep, I could hear Kairi giggling.
"Come on Sora!" came somewhat muffled through the wall.
"But Kairiiiiii. I'm full and I'm tired!" Sora's whining reached my ears.
"But it's the last night we might have a really nice bed in a really long time!"
"But Kai-" Sora was cut off. Kairi giggled a little then Sora piped up again, "Oh gawd! Kairi! Nngh! Stop it, Kairi! R-ri-ku's next door."
"So what? It's not like he could steal me away."
"Kai- I really don't think he'll appreciate it."
"Appreciate what? The vision of us together? I think he still likes me, Sora. All those weird stares. I want him to know that I'm all yours and will always be."
"Kairi, you don't-"
"Sora, don't even try to pretend you can ignore that."
There was a long pause in speech before, "Fine, Kairi. You win. Now…"
My heart clenched, and I breathed in raggedly. Kairi giggled occasionally. Every once in a while a loud moan would make it through. Then the sound of their bed beginning to creek came. I was choking. I was gagging. I was laughing. I was drowning in my own self-pity all over again, and I couldn't even bring myself to do anything to stop them. As the noises became louder, more passionate, I got up from bed and walked to the bookcase on the far side.
When the strangled cries of their climaxes reached my ears I began throwing books at the wall with all my might until the shelf was empty.
The books were destroyed. The wall was chipped. I didn't care.
All I cared about was how I could never be truly happy.
BR /BR BR /BR -ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox-ox- BR /BR BR /BR
I didn't speak to either of them the next morning. Instead of going to breakfast, I waited in the gummyship. They came out worried after me. They brought me food, but I didn't eat it. I didn't sleep at all the previous night and pushed onward. They were jumpy around me, even when we landed back in Radiant Garden. The books must have scared them. When we parted ways, I left them with two words:
"Twenty-four hours."
I walked off after that, leaving them to contend with Cid. I know not talking was childish, but I didn't have anything nice to say. It would be pointless to start something with Kairi, especially now. I entered an apartment complex and took the stairs to the penthouse apartment. I picked the locks on the door and entered, taking care to lock the door again.
I plopped down on Leon's couch. I'd wait for him, and then vent everything to him. Out of everyone on the damn little planet, he was the most useful. But it wouldn't do to interrupt his classes again. I'd wait. Patiently.
Before even an hour had past I was searching through his movie cabinet. He had about three genres: Porn, Action/Adventure, and Horror. The last two didn't surprise me but the first did. Leon and porn. It was an interesting thought, but it didn't seem to really fit his personality.
I had just selected a movie and was pushing it in the player when I heard keys in the door. I sighed and placed the movie back just Leon pushed the door open. It took about thirty seconds, but when he saw me, he glared.
"Why are you in my apartment, Riku?"
"I didn't want to go back to mine just yet. Besides, I thought I'd fill you in." Leon nodded as slammed the door shut and moved over to his couch. I sat beside him and told him everything that happened and everything that Mickey had said.
"This isn't good. Sora and Kairi aren't cut to go and fight these things yet. If the organization is back then the heartless must be swelling in Number. Not mention, Maleficent is still out there."
"And now there's Sephiroth and Cloud too. We don't know what the hell will happen from here on out. And I really don't know if I'll be able to handle spending my time with Sora and Kairi together like this," I said, cradling my head in my hands. The apocalypse had to be coming.
"Your reaction was childish, Riku."
"At least I didn't go in there and impale Kairi. I know a scared them though."
"That is true, but beating on the wall while they were still doing it could have done the job just fine."
"You don't get it Leon. I just couldn't do that."
"Fine. I understand. But you need to go out now and prepare. You have a long hard road in front of you. Things aren't going to be simple."
"When are they ever?" I asked as I stood. "I guess I'll go back now. But expect me again be fore we leave. I don't have any munny for potions."
"So you're going to just mooch off me and Aerith?"
"Yuffie too," I said, grinning. I nodded a goodbye before heading out.
"Be careful, kid. She might want to go with you." I chuckled hollowly as I closed the door. The walk home was peaceful and quiet. Perfect for me after the last five days.
As soon as I got in, I went straight to the bathroom. I grabbed a carry case and filled it with all the essentials. First were my shampoos and conditioner, plus any soap I could scrounge up. Next were the shaving cream and three razors. Then finally anything else that could fit. I packed it just as much for Kairi as for me. I knew she'd appreciate getting clean more than either Sora or I, who were just perfectly happy running around all sweaty. She would, however, have to deal with wearing the same dirty clothes for however long it took us.
I exited the bathroom, bag in hand, and entered my bedroom. I threw off my dress clothes and pulled out a pair of black semi-baggy zipper pants, not much unlike what Sora had worn when he dealt with the Organization. They were covered in zippers with six visible pockets and about ten more hidden ones. The zipped off into different lengths, making them good for any world we'd visit.
After pulling the pants on, I grabbed for a similar tri-colored shirt. The main body of it was a thick white cardigan with zippers at where the sleeves connected and continued up to cover my neck in a mandarin like collar. There was a zipper pocket just over the breast as well as up the center. The grey cardigan like sleeves met another zipper close to my elbow and the fabric continued black from there. The shirt clung to me snugly but was stretchy enough to move properly, and the sleeves could be removed in increments depending on the climate. To say the least, it was my favorite shirt to fight in.
Lastly, I grabbed a few hair ties and put them in my breast pocket before walking out of my room. There was no point in staying put now. I'd go spend the rest of the day training. I stopped walking, however, when I spotted something bright red from the corner of my eye.
I looked over and almost stopped breathing. I called forth Way To Dawn.
"Hey, heeey! What kind of way is that to treat an old friend, eh, Riku?" Axel. Axel was sitting on my couch. Legs folded, hands on knees, and smiling on my couch. I bulked.
"You're supposed to be dead."
"You'd be surprised at how many things that seem like they are supposed to be aren't."
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to offer you a deal, pretty boy. One I don't think you can refuse so easily."
"What is it?" I asked, shifted forward in a defensive stance.
"Oh, I'm here in peace. No need to wave that thing around. It makes me nervous you know." He was toying with me. Nonetheless, I lowered Way To Dawn.
"Just get it over with."
"Our leader would like your help. Yours. Not the brat or his little girlfriend."
"Xemnas wants my help?" I couldn't so easily believe that Xemnas would need my help, and even if he did, he would be too stubborn to ask.
"Not Xemnas. We've reorganized, so to say. Our leader wants to stay under wraps for a little longer, but I can tell you they are even stronger than Xemnas. We wouldn't follow any other way."
"So what does this leader want me to do?"
"Number One wants you to work unlock all of the different worlds' hearts."
"And why would I want to do that?" I asked, shifting my weight to one foot.
"Because One can show you Sephiroth. He's our enemy too."
"That still doesn't clarify anything." Axel stood and walked over to a small table containing pictures, several of which were of Sora.
"It will eventually."
"I highly doubt that, Axel."
"You know, he's nothing like him," Axel said, his voice dropping to something quiet and somewhat sorrowful. I knew the tone was fake. Axel couldn't feel.
"Sora?"
"Yeah. I miss Roxas. I've watched Sora, for two years now. I bet Roxas is going crazy."
"And how do you surmise that, stalker?" I bit out.
"Because," Axel started as he turned around, smirking, "Roxas is very, very gay. Even a circle is straighter than he is." I stared at him in shock for a long moment, letting it all sink in. Roxas was… gay. Roxas was Sora and Sora was Roxas. Before my thoughts could go any farther, Axel spoke again. "He made me feel like I had a heart. And so did Sora. And you…"
"Sora isn't gay."
"We want our answer in a month," he said, shaking his finger. "Got it memorized?" He asked, tapping his temple.
"Yeah, yeah."
"Good. I guess I'll see you later, pretty boy." I nodded, already lost in my own thoughts again.
Roxas was gay.

Author's Note: so yeah. First thing that jumps out at me to explain is the Sora/Kairi scene. You know, the one. Anyway. I know it sounds like I'm making her a bitch, but it's not really intentional. I just think what she said was really in character. She said stuff like that in the first game. "Riku's changed." "Let's take the raft and leave, just you and me, Sora!" On top of that, she never really seemed to care that much for Riku. She also seems to do some things without thinking about the consequences.
Next is the fact that I really tried to show how close Sora and Kairi had become and how in many ways they try to shut out Riku. From all the evidence in the first game and some from the second, I can see them being like this. I honestly hate those kinds of couples.
The Leon/Riku relationship is purely fuck buddy level. It will never develop any farther.
And why aren't Donald and Goofy going? The will. Eventually. Just wait and see.
