Just The…Three Of Us?
AN: Sorry that there is no Riku POV in this chapter I just didn't feel like I needed it in this chapter. Sora kinda dominated this chapter, heh sorry about that.
Disclaimer: I am not Square Enix so there for I do not own Kingdom Hearts or the characters in it.
Oops! Didn't thank my reviewers last chapter like I meant to but that is ok I will do it this chapter.
Kinex: There are going to be many more chapters to this story so don't worry about me updating till the end!
Starr Bryte: First, Yay for favorite pairings! Secondly, I am kind of using Kairi as a bridge between Riku and Sora because Riku is being in denial about Sora. Poor, poor blind Riku. Of course, Akuroku is fun! Just as fun to write as it is to watch/read!
Sorku: Is this quick enough for ya? I hope so!
Thanks to everybody who reads my fanfic, especially the reviewers. I love you all! And now I present to my wonderful readers, the third chapter!
Chapter 3
Coming Together
Sora's POV
"Hey, guys! I have a great idea! Why don't you all spend the night? It will be fun!"
Nobody said or did anything when my mom burst out with that question. Mom stood there, looking at expectantly, waiting for our excited approval.
"Really, Mom? I mean we just met them yesterday." I said, stating the obvious.
"So? You all seem to be getting along so well together and I want to have fun with you all too." She replied, her smile fading.
"I'd like to stay the night, Amy." Kairi said, smiling brightly. Axel glanced at Roxas then grinned at Amy.
"Count me in!" Axel agreed, looking at Riku who still hadn't said anything. "You with us, Riku?" Axel asked.
"Yes, Riku is staying too." Kairi answered for Riku. "Come on, guys let's go get our stuff. We'll be back in a bit." She continued, dragging Riku and Axel down the steps. Roxas and I stepped into the house and Mom closed the door behind us with a full force smile back on her face.
"I'm going to go make some popcorn!" She exclaimed, practically running into the kitchen. Roxas looked at each other and rolled our eyes in unison. I cautiously walked into the kitchen to make sure Mom didn't get too excited and start a whole party. When I entered the kitchen I felt my jaw drop. There was already five different plates with different types of chips on each of them, four different 2-liter bottles of soda, cupcakes, and my mom sitting in front of the oven, looking through the little window on the over door.
"Uh, Mom?" She looked up as she heard my voice and smiled, standing up.
"I'm cooking pizzas. You think this is enough for tonight?" She asked, motioning to all the food in the room.
"It's more than enough, Mom. When did you-" I cut myself off because I knew that the wonders of my mom were endless. I was going to ask her about her sugar intake that day instead but I was cut off again, this time by the oven.
DING!
"Yay! The pizza is done!" Mom exclaimed, putting on oven mitts and pulling out 3 pizzas. She placed them on the only space left on the table and looked over all the snacks.
"Hmm, something is missing…" Mom tapped her chin thoughtfully then brightened up again. "Oh! The dip for the chips!" She reached into the fridge and pulled out a white container. I looked away from my Mom at the sound of footsteps heading for the kitchen.
"Moms a little crazy right now so you might-" Roxas stopped in his tracks from walking into the kitchen with Axel, Riku, and Kairi in tow. Axel bumped into Roxas, causing Riku to run into Axel and just when they were barely keeping their balance, Kairi bumped into Riku and sent them all tumbling to the floor.
"Warn a buddy next time, will ya?" Axel said, laying on Roxas and being crushed by Riku and Kairi.
"Sorry. Now get off me." Roxas grunted, trying to push the three bodies off of him. After the four were all standing again, Roxas pointed to all the food and gave Mom a questioning look.
"What?" Mom asked.
"Nothing, Mom, don't worry about it." I answered, patting her shoulder sympathetically like you would to a mentally ill person.
"Wow, Amy, is all this food for us?" Kairi asked, looking at Mom with wide eyes.
"Yep! Dig in!" Mom replied.
"You heard the woman, eat all you want." I said going for the pizza. One hour later we were leaning back in our chairs, full and happy.
"Kairi, you have cupcake crumbs all on the side of your mouth." I said, chuckling. She quickly wiped her mouth then gave me an evil smirk.
"But, Sora, you do too." She said, reaching for a fudge cupcake.
"Really? Where?" I asked, looking for a napkin.
"Right…" I looked at Kairi and got a face full of cupcake. "...There." She said, smearing it on my face. I wiped off what I could while everybody laughed and I grabbed my own cupcake.
"It's on!" I yelled, throwing the cupcake at Kairi, She squeaked and ducked, causing the chocolate treat to hit Riku smack dab in the face. He reacted by flinging a piece of pizza back at me but his vision was obscured by the cupcake and he hit Roxas instead. That is when everything got out of control. We all got up and began throwing any food we could grab.
"Ahhh!"
"Eww, there's chip dip in my hair, WHO THREW IT?!"
"Look out, Roxas!"
"Oh no! I'm running out of ammo!"
I was about to duck under the table when I caught a glimpse of my mom. She must have gone into the fridge because she had two cans of whip cream and a bottle of chocolate syrup.
"LOOK OUT FOR MOM! SHE'S LOADED!" I yelled, causing all of us to scream in horror as she began her attack. Sometime later, I got my hands on one of the whip cream cans. I used it on anything I saw moving until it was empty. I don't know how long the food fight lasted but by the time it was over we were laying on the floor, covered in food we were previously eating.
"Wow, look at the mess… we made." Roxas said, panting softly from the excitement.
"Your father can clean it up later." Mom said, glancing around the room. "Boy, Takuya is going to have a heart attack when he wakes up tomorrow. Anyway, I am ready for a shower." She stated, sitting up.
"Me too. We have three showers so two people can go to each shower. That way there will only be two showers in each bathroom and we will all be done sooner." I planned. "Axel, you go with Roxas to his bathroom. Kairi, you can go with my mom to her's and that leaves Riku to come with me." I said, standing up and offering a hand to Riku to help him off the slippery floor.
He hesitated but then took my hand. I blinked, feeling a tiny spark in our joined hands but pushed the thought out of my mind as I hoisted him to his feet. We all went to our assigned bathrooms in silence. I flicked on the light in my room and went to my now full dresser.
"You want to take a shower first or should I?" Riku asked.
"You can take it first. I don't mind." I replied. Riku shrugged and walked into the bathroom, taking his bag of clothes with him, and closing the door.
"The towels and stuff are under the sink!" I yelled through door.
"Got 'em." He answered, starting the shower. I waited on my bed for a while but then I noticed that Roxas' shower hadn't started yet. I walked out of my room and over to Roxas' door.
"Roxas?" I called, knocking then opening the door. "Why-" I stopped in mid-sentence my jaw dropping for the second time that night. Axel had his arms around Roxas' waist while Roxas placed his hands on Axel's neck and they were kissing. I smirked, crossing my arms and leaned against the doorway.
"Well, well, well, I thought this would happen but this soon? Roxas, you whore." I teased. Roxas quickly pulled away from Axel and looked at me surprised.
"Sora! Haven't you heard of knocking?" Roxas yelled, blushing like mad.
"I did but you obviously were too busy to hear it. So, when did this happen?" I asked.
"Just now." Axel said with a dazed but happy look. I laughed and closed the door, making my way back to my own room. As I walked back into my room, Riku stepped out of the bathroom with an oversized white T-shirt and gray pajama bottoms. His hair was shining and dripping water. There was a partially wet and sexy guy standing in my room. I ordered myself not to drool and blushed, quickly looking at the ground.
"Uh, you can hang out in here or go down to the living room. I don't recommend looking for Axel or Roxas. They might be a little busy." I laughed and entered my bathroom, leaving Riku with a confused expression.
Kairi's POV
Amy insisted that I took my shower first so I was currently waiting for everybody else to join me in the living room after their own shower.
"Do you happen to know what Axel and Roxas are doing." Riku asking, walking into the room.
"Aren't they taking their showers?"
"That is what I thought but Sora said that they were both busy."
I thought for a moment then bust out laughing, realizing Sora's innuendo. Riku gave me a questioning look until I stopped laughing and was able to answer him.
"I think Sora meant that Roxas has given into Axel's charm." I explained. A grin appeared on Riku's face as he sat down next to me on the couch.
"Wow, already? I guess Roxas really is different than Demyx." He said. We both laughed and talked some more until Sora and Roxas came down the stairs together and made themselves comfortable on the floor.
"Hey, Roxas, I heard you and Axel were getting down and dirty." I teased, winking at Riku.
"We were not! Sora! What did you tell them?" Roxas protested, sending Sora a glare.
"Nothing! I only warned Riku to not bother you and Axel." Sora said in his defense.
"I'm just playing with you, Roxas, but are you and Axel an item now?" I questioned. Roxas blushed and mumbled a quiet 'yes'. I giggled at Roxas' embarrassment as Amy entered the room.
"I'm going to go to sleep soon, it's past midnight and I have to go to work in the morning. Are you all going to sleep in here? I have a bunch of blankets. Be right back!" She said, fleeing to her room. Axel finally made his appearance as Amy brought back about 10 blankets and a few pillows.
"Just lay some of them down as a bed on the floor and use the others to cover up with. Also, somebody can have the couch to sleep on. Everybody alright with the sleeping arrangement?" Amy asked, looking at all of us. We all nodded and bid Amy goodnight as we started laying the blankets down.
"So who gets the couch?" I questioned when we had finished making a pallet of blankets in the middle of the floor.
"Wanna share it with me, Roxy?" Axel suggested, laying down against the back of the couch and patting the space in front of him. A light blush colored Roxas' cheeks as he nodded and made himself comfortable next to Axel's body. I had to bite my bottom lip to keep from going 'awww' when Axel wrapped his arm around Roxas and Roxas cuddled into the embrace.
"Us three on the floor then." Sora said, crawling under the top cover on our homemade bed and taking the pillow on the left side. Riku shrugged and took the right side of the pallet.
"Oh great. Thanks for leaving me the middle." I said, sarcasm oozing off the sentence. Sora laughed but already had his eyes closed. Riku merely smiled at my comment and looked up at me from where he was laying.
"I promise that me, nor Sora, will drool all over you, Kai. Goodnight!" He said, closing his eyes as well. I stuck my tongue out at him just for the record and settled myself between the two of them. I didn't fall asleep right away and kept thinking about random stuff that had happened over the week but mostly thinking about Sora and Riku. All three of us were turned on our left side so I was facing Sora's back. Just when I was about to fall asleep, I felt a gentle arm make it's away across my waist. I flipped onto my back and saw that Riku was fast asleep and obviously making the move subconsciously.
I could feel my face heat up a bit and that is when I felt Sora turn over in his sleep and also wrap an arm around me and laid his arm on top of Riku's. Even though they were both deep in slumber it still made me blush like crazy. I thought about what Selphie had said about the three of us and decided I didn't care what she thought about us. I felt safe and cozy with both of them by my side and it probably wouldn't feel right if one of them were gone.
I placed my hands on theirs and gave into their hold on me. I took one last glance at both of their sleeping faces then fell asleep with a smile on my own.
Yay! I got this chapter out quicker than I did the last one but this one is considerably shorter. At least it is an update!
Remember to REVIEW! It makes me very happy and inspires me to continue onward with the story.
TTFN! Ta Ta For Now!
