Author's Note : Thank you very much for the reviews! I love you guys.

Disclaimer : Mine? Yes! Unfortunately… No.

Warning : You should know me by now. I write YAOI. Well, unless there's some straight pairings I like (RikuKai or SoKai? Hehe… Nah…) but that's not the problem here and—unless you skipped the whole warnings up front. Umm, two more warnings I guess I should put on… Bad Grammars. Bad Tenses. That's exactly why I need a beta reader…

Chapter 3

Bad Impression

--Sora's P.O.V--

I panted and breathed heavily. The girl lying on the bed opened her eyes, looking annoyed. She sneaked an arm around my neck and hooked me down the bed, mumbling, "What are you screaming for?" She said annoyed, definitely angry and muffled me to her chest inside the big blue blanket and with the other vacant hand; she ran it through her hair. I squirmed in her chest but her arm is stronger than me.

Now… Wait a minute… Wait a freaking minute… She's not wearing any tops… Girls aren't supposed to be this flat and bare chest-ed and this well built, are they? Aaand I don't think Dad ever said that girls are supposed to have a deep, manly, but at the same time cute voice. This is wrong… very wrong! Definitely! This could only mean one thing. She's a he. Alright, by now you would think that I need not panic that much since he's a boy and boys sleeping with boys is the most usual thing that could ever happen in this world.

But no… that's not a reason enough to stop my hammering and thundering heartbeat and this blush in my face—hell, does the blood want to stay that way forever up my face? They aren't allowed to be gathered there! What's happening to me? He's a boy, Sora. Same as you. A boy. I mentally screamed at myself. "Lef mi guh." I said, but my voice is muffled by his chest.

"Sleep." He warned demandingly, irritated.

"I van't wreathe…"

He let go of me and I quickly dove out from the blanket, trying my best to keep my breathing even. I stared in disbelieve at the boy who had gone of into his little dream land and in a minute or two, the door to the room opened, "What? What happened?" Kadaj strode in worriedly and looked at me finally he glanced over at the silver haired boy who was sleeping soundly there.

"It's nothing, Kadaj." Riku hissed

"Riku, what are you doing here? I thought I told you that your room will be next door while Sora sleeps in this room." Kadaj said in a slightly annoyed tone, noticing that I'm blushing madly like an idiot at the corner of the bed, leaned against the wall.

"Kadaj, what did I say just now?" Riku asked again, yawning, and shifted, lying flat on his stomach with his face digging deep into the pillow.

"It's nothing?" Kadaj answered back with a question, uncertain.

"Good. Now get out." Riku said, winningly.

Kadaj paled and obediently stepped out of the room, closing the door softly, leaving the terrified me and the smirking Riku there. The smirk soon faded off his face and he ordered tiredly, "Sleep."

I don't know what had gotten into me but I just obeyed, slipped into the blanket, keeping my distance from that Riku guy and easily went to sleep again.

--

Every once in ten minutes that night, I would wake up to find that Riku is cuddling me or I'm the one that's hugging him and I easily went back to sleep again. When I really woke up, there's only me on the bed. No trace of Riku anywhere. That's strange, was that all just a dream? Yeah… maybe… I've been dreaming some bizarre things lately anyway.

The room's lighting is already off. I guess Kadaj came in and turned it off for me. The sunlight shone in from the window. Yeah, it's definitely already morning. I took the towel from my backpack and went out of the room. I brushed my teeth lazily outside the bathroom first and took a shower. Nice little short shower—that's unfortunately, not going to go so well…

Yeah, it's supposed to be just a shower—you know, where people strip naked and take a bath. Well, obviously, you got the idea and I just had to screw myself up by forgetting to do the most important thing before going inside the bathroom, that was to lock the door! When I was washing my head, the door clicked open and that's when the word shit crossed my mind.

"Kadaj! Just go to work already!" Riku shouted from the door frame. He still had his attention outside the bathroom. I should have been able to walk over and take the towel to cover myself but I just stood there, dumbfounded. Finally, that boy named Riku turned his attention back inside the bathroom where I am standing nicely in view. Green eyes opened wide as he scanned my nude body. Amidst that confusion, I can still see Riku faintly wet his lips. I'm confused myself as to why I haven't screamed. "Nice." He purred finally, snapping me back into the real world and into what I'm supposed to do in that condition.

Blood crept up to my face again and I tried hard to fight it from showing but failed miserably. The silver head boy smirked and won't keep his eyes off of me. "GET OUT!!" I shouted and screamed again with the exact same scream I used the night before.

--

I trailed down the stairs hesitantly. And to my horror, Riku is down there, sitting at the dining table, eating his instant cup noodle. I stopped midway down the stairs only to have him notice me and eye me in amusement. I hastily averted my gaze, having no interest in remembering back what had happened just minutes ago.

I walked past the dining table into the kitchen without even pausing one bit to look at the silver head which seriously embarrass me to no end. I poured myself a glass of water and sipped it down in one gulp. I took another glass and another. At last, Riku decided to talk to me, "Got problem?"

I quirked an eyebrow to him which is futile since his back is turn to me. I can hardly find myself to reply his questions. There's a lump in my throat. God, he's the guy that just saw me naked in shower this morning! What possible problem would I have? In addition, that hair of his really got the best of me and I couldn't help but stare at his feature. I stood there like an idiot. When I wake up to my senses, Riku is already walking towards me in that slow and graceful motion of his.

I stepped back as he approached me and soon found myself trapped between him and the counter behind me. He slowly and painfully set the empty cup of noodle down on the counter behind me. I swallowed… this guy is full of sin. How could God create something as—beautiful—as this? His scent—even if he hasn't taken a bath yet—smells very nice and I soon found myself inhaling it nervously. And for the heck of it… what am I thinking?! Come back to your senses Sora, you love girls. You're freaking straight and you love girls. There.

He leaned his face very close, much to my liking, and put his mouth near my ears and whispered, "You want to get back at me?"

I can feel myself stiffened, making a sound of soft mewls down my throat, and replied tearfully, "Uh… What?"

"I'm taking a bath. You can stare all you want. I'll even give you the gratitude of staying inside the bathroom if you want." He purred against my ear and I seriously think that my ear will explode then and there because of the hot breath he sent towards it. His hot breath traveled down my neck and I can feel myself shaking and stiffening, trying my best to stand up by holding tightly onto the counter.

Finally, much to my pride I can finally stutter out, "N-No. Thanks. I'm fine."

He smirked, pulled back an inch to eye me, and I already miss his breath against my neck, "I'll keep the bathroom door unlock." He teased and went away, going up the stairs.

When he's finally out of sight, I slid down the cabinet, and sat on the floor. Knots are building in my stomach and I can feel butterflies flying around. Beautiful butterflies. What the heck is he doing to me?! Where's Kadaj? He can't leave me behind with that—that gorgeous son of his in this house. Alone. He can't! I think I'm going to die… and that's when my cell phone vibrated and interrupted my thinking. The screen blinked, showing the name Kadaj.

"Hello?" I muttered out.

"Sora!" called Kadaj cheerful voice. "I hope you're getting along well with Riku." I groaned out of frustrated and thankfully, Kadaj didn't seem to notice it. The man on the other side of the phone continued, "He can be a trouble sometimes but he's a good kid."

"Yeah… okay…" I answered hesitantly.

"I've ordered him to take you around town together with Roxas."

"Roxas? You knew him?" I got up to my feet and took a seat at the glass dining table.

"Of course. He's your cousin, isn't he? You, Riku, Axel, and Roxas played together once when you were small." He explained cheerfully.

"Axel?" I frowned, feeling the name very alien. No memories came across my mind regarding Axel and Riku. I'm pretty sure I haven't met Riku anywhere else before… that's strange. I don't think I have a bad memory, "I don't remember ever playing with Axel or Riku when I was small. I don't remember them." I added.

"You don't? Oh well, you've played only once, anyway and you were small back then. No use thinking about it."

I nodded, "Alright."

"Riku will take care of you for the rest of the day." That's what I'm afraid of. "If anything happens just call me. I'm telling you this because I think you're more responsible than Riku. Riku's a rebel. I don't know what to do with that kid." Kadaj said with worried tone acting like the father he is, "So, everything's going to be okay?"

"Sure." I answered reassuringly.

"Alright. Get along well with Riku."

The phone call ended. That was—awkward but I'm happy that someone trusted me and I got to meet Roxas. I missed him a lot! That's a good thing. Axel though, who is he? And Riku? I used to play with him when I was small? That's a new one. "I'll keep the bathroom door unlock." What am I thinking? I can't just go inside the bathroom and stand there watching him take a bath. That guy's obviously insane. It's even insane to know that he and Kadaj are related when they are so completely different.

A while after, when I had decided to go back upstairs to the room which was supposed to be mine, I bumped into Riku's half naked body with half his lower body wrapped in a fluffy green towel that matched the color of his eyes nicely. I raised my head, about to apologize but stopped when I found Riku's lips tugged into a smirk, "Too bad I've finished my bath. Too late, Sora."

That's the first time I heard him said my name from those awfully thin lips of his. Sora… it sounded nice coming from his mouth. Noticing that I've spaced off, I quickly retorted, "I-I'm not here to watch you take a bath!"

"O really now. I don't think anyone could ever resist my invitation." He walked closer, again, backing me away.

"Well, you obviously got one here who could refuse." I retorted again, backing away continuously as he kept walking closer. Soon, I felt myself stumbled—oh shit… it's the stairs. I'm going to fall so badly and die! I shut my eyes, preparing myself for the hard contact of the cold ceramic stairs against my head. A while after, I opened my eyes slowly, muttering under my breath, "Am I in heaven?"

"No, Sora. Apparently not." I was replied by that cheeky voice again and when I really looked around, I found myself in Riku's embrace. His right arm around my wrist, holding me tightly and preventing me from falling down the stairs. There was a brief stare off between us before I jumped on my feet to balance myself and fell with my face right into his chest. I don't know what got into me but I eased myself up into that well built body of his. "Do I look like an angel to you?" he teased.

I hastily jumped away from him, face blushing red. I hate myself for this. I answered honestly, "No, you look more like a devil." Yes, that was the truth. If I am the sleeping beauty in a fairy tale, then Riku's definitely going to be the mean old witch who had wanted me dead. What if I am Cinderella? Well, that's a good question. I've got no idea…

"You never change, Sora." He laughed and that's the first sincere laugh I got from the male. It's strange that I notice this much detail over a single male. He walked away inside the room, leaving me behind and since I'm heading inside too, I followed him in. He stopped halfway into the room causing me to halt too. He turned his back and avert his attention to me, "You wanted to stalk me that badly, huh, sweet heart?"

"S-Sweet heart? Excuse me?!" I flared. Who is he to start calling me nicknames? "For your information, Riku. This is my room."

"Really?" He stood straight, one hand holding the towel that was wrapped nicely around his hips, "Well, So-Ra. For your information. This room is really mine."

Well, now I'm defeated. Kadaj had probably told Riku to give this room to me. I know how that feels. He must have felt annoyed, giving his room to a total stranger. I cast a glare at him and finally looked away. Without a single word, I walked over to my luggage and bag, dragging them towards the bedroom's door.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

I turned back, eyed him, and answered hesitantly, "Well, this is your room. I know what to do."

"Huh?" He gave me a confused look.

I gave him a sincere smile, one that I never showed him before since I met him, "You can have your room back. I can—sleep on the sofa or something." I laughed.

"Hey—"

I cut him short and further explain it to him, "I'm okay. Before I come here, I slept on the sofa in my house and the night before, I slept on the garage using the sleeping bed. It's not that bad. Sorry for stealing your bed last night." I walked away, dragging together my stuffs.

To my surprise, he grabbed my wrist, completely halting me. "Hey, I never meant to kick you out. I didn't say I wouldn't share."

I turned to look at him again, feeling slightly amused and bewildered, "What?"

"If you really want to sleep on the sofa, suit yourself." He laughed, let go off me, and walked over to the dresser.

I eyed him from the doorframe. Riku seemed to be searching for something to wear. When he found one, he slipped into that black tight top without sleeves and wore his boxer then pulled on baggy brown pants. After he's done, he closed the dresser and went to hang his towel on the hanger behind the door, "Had fun watching me change?" he teased again and I began to get nervous. This guy is seriously frustrating me.

"I'll be settling in, thank you." I ignored his remarks and dragged my belongings inside the room again. Having no idea why since I obviously don't want to be sleeping with him again.

"I'm going out with Roxas and Axel today. Wanna come?"

"Well, Kadaj did say you're going to take care of me for the rest of the day. Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"Of course not. Who would want to get rid of someone as cute as you?" he smiled innocently, again, succeeding in bringing a flush up my cheek.

"Flirt." I groaned, annoyed.

"You know, I'd love to watch you change if you allow me to."

I gave him a murderous glare, "Get out."

He obeyed with a winning smirk and went out of the room. I shut the door and locked it firmly and changed.

This is too short for my liking. In fact, it's my shortest chapter ever. But that's all that I can come up with. If I have to say, I apologize if this chapter's boring. I have a family problem up my sleeves. I'm basically depressed as of now… I'm thinking of changing this into a third person view. I feel so sucky presenting first person… What'd you think? Should I keep with the first person and switch P.O.Vs sometimes or switch over to third? Please, let me know. Thanks.
