Summery: Roxas Strife is the heir to the throne, waiting for the day where he will inherit it, but he has yet a bride to rule with. Before Roxas' eighteenth birthday, his mother and father arrange a ball to celebrate his coming of age and to find Roxas' love. During the ball, Roxas ends up meeting Sora along the way, falling in love with the 'girl'. Soon, Roxas finds out 'she' is actually a 'he', but does he still wish to be with the boy who he once thought was a girl?
A/N: Welp, Chapter Title is still pretty stupid, but oh well *Shrug* Anyways, here's the beginning of the Ball! No, Roxas and Sora do not meet in this chapter (Lieeeee). Heheh, anyways, some sense of yaoi in the air. Oh I love~ that smell, Don't you? XD Oh yeah~ there was a typo at the last chapter. At the top, it was supposed to say 'Chapter 2' instead of 'Chapter 1'. Sorry for the confusion!
Okay so, I just want to say is that can you guys like, favorite or follow or review on this story? I mean, I know this is asking too much, but it helps me continue this story with large motivation. I like how this story is going, and I hope you guys like it too, but with only just a few things being done, it makes me feel as though you guy really don't like this story. I'd like it very much if you did so!
OFF THE AUTHOR NOTE THINGY AND TO THE STORY!
"Hurry, Sora!" The redhead yells behind her. Kairi and Sora run, holding up their dresses to prevent dirt to go on and under their dress and to maneuver. Sora soon slowed to a stop, leaning on a tree and putting a hand on his orange-filled*1* chest as he tries to regain his breathing.
"Ugh, Kai, I cannot do this," he turns towards Kairi, smiling at her, "Go on without me, I'll be there in just a minute."
"What? No! I will not leave my best friend behind! This is possibly your only chance to finally get the true love you deserve! Besides that, you might find him and leave off causing me to worry and to find you. I want to keep an eye on you, not all gentlemen are gentle." The brunette looks at her surprised. Sighing, finally regaining his breath, he pushes himself off the tree, smiling at the slightly irritated yet kind redhead.
"Alright then, I have gotten back my composure, so may we walk instead of run?" Kairi nods her head. They then walk to the rather large castle, pondering about what fate's turn of events will be.
Finally making it to the palace, it seems they got here quite early. Barely many people were seen going up the mighty stairs. Shrugging it off, they stalk up the large stairs, meeting two guards in uniform, a raven-haired boy and a sandy dusty haired boy.
"Hello, fine day to you ladies." The raven-haired bowed. "Are you here for the ball?" They nod.
"Do yuh' need us to escort you?" The other boy says. The raven-haired struck his side with is elbow and grumbling something on the lines of "Be polite!"
"Ow! Gosh, I was just asking." The sandy dusty haired boy rubs his side. Kairi giggles at this, whilst Sora just smiles.
"Excuse this guys' manner. Allow us to introduce ourselves. I'm Pence." He holds out his hand towards the two girls. Looking down at the hand, Sora grabs it and shakes the hand. Kairi does the same.
"I'm Hayner." Hayner puts his hands behind his head, grinning at them. "May I?" He bows, slowly putting his hand out towards Sora. Sora blushes by the act, grabbing his glove covered hand. Pence follows the act identically towards Kairi, who giggled. Opening the door with their other hand, Kairi and Sora slowly let go of the boys' hands, gaping at the white decorated hallway. Tables with vases and red carpet litter the hall, while paintings and designs decorate the wall. Hayner and Pence look at each other, raising an eyebrow.
"Have you guys never been inside this castle?" Still in a daze, they nod.
"Heh, we've been here our whole life. This place sometimes even gets us bored." Sora looks at Hayner.
"Rea-" Sora hears his voice, noticing its low. Clearing his throat, he finds a high-pitched voice. "R-really now? I was thinking the opposite." Pence looks at Sora, but shrugs it off.
"There's really nothing special here. The only entertainment is when there's some sort of party or the idiotic joker." Hayner rolls his eyes. "That man is ridiculous. He couldn't even crack a smile on their majesties face." Laughing at this, they walk off to the ballroom.
Taking small turns here and there, they finally make it to the ballroom. Opening the door to the ladies, or a lady and a man in a dress, Hayner and Pence grin at the dazed faces of the two. A few people still scurried around for more decorations and not many people were in the large room. Glad that they came early, they enter, Pence and Hayner slowly following.
"Well, here we are, at the royal ballroom. Please enjoy yourselves." Pence and Hayner bow. Turning to take their leave, Kairi snatches them both by the arm, turning them back around towards Sora and Kairi.
"Oh, I have forgotten my manners." Kairi smiles. "You have introduced yourselves earlier, while we were fazed by this magnificence. So we couldn't have said anything."
"My name is Sora," He curtseys, "And this girl is my best friend, Kairi." She curtseys.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Sora," Pence and Hayner bow to the brunette, "And Kairi." They bow to the redhead. They continue to talk amongst themselves, watching as more people filled the ballroom.
Massive ballroom doors open, revealing the blonde prince dressed in a black tuxedo top, a button-up shirt underneath. A tie was snugged in the collar of the shirt, fitting under the suits top. He also wore a pair of black suit pants and black dress shoes, completing Roxas' look.
The sound of the doors opening grabbed the many persons in the ballroom. Seeing the prince has arrived, they bow or curtsey in respect. Trying to hold his scowl back, he simply smiles awkwardly and bows back at the many people in the ballroom. Looking towards his parents, he sees them cuddling each other, smiling right back at their son.
Walking down the red carpet, he stalks to the lonely chair, sitting on it. Looking towards all the ladies and gentlemen in the ballroom, he sees his friends are nowhere to be seen. He soon hears slow music play by the orchestra, watching as every person grabbed a partner and danced to the slow beat. With some girls left alone, they race towards the prince, scaring him.
"Oh, prince Roxas, dance with me!" He hears one girl.
"No! Dance with me!" Another says.
"No! He should dance with me!" Losing count of what has been said, he sees that he's not in the spotlight for the girls anymore. The girls were more interested in pushing each other so they can dance with the prince. He takes his chances and walks off, hopefully finding his trio of friends. He finds Hayner and Pence chatting with two young ladies.
Cautiously stalking up to his friends and new people, he goes behind Hayner and Pence, swatting them over their heads.
"Ow! What was that for, Roxas?!" Hayner rubs his head, growling at the blonde. Pushing past him, Roxas reached the ladies, bowing and smiling at them. Hayner immediately got mad by this action, having been held back by Pence, yelling "Hey! Don't rub off somebody when they're talking to you, blondie!" to the prince. Roxas shrugs it off.
"Please introduce the fine ladies, idiot." Angrily looking at the prince and grumbling something on the lines of "Asshole", Hayner walks up to the ladies, pointing to Kairi first.
"This is Kairi, your highness." Roxas bows at her, all the while giving Hayner a death glare. Unfazed, Hayner then points to Sora. "And this is Sora, your highness." Roxas eye twitches. He looks towards the girl, seeing a wide smile on her face. Roxas flushes at this. 'This girl…Her smile is so…breathtaking…' He shows a small smile to Sora.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Prince Roxas." Sora curtseys. Roxas bows back, hoping the 'girl' doesn't notice his change of color on his cheeks.
"Oh, no, no, please no formalities. Just call me Roxas." Noticing the change of attitude, Pence and Hayner look at each other, their confusion slowly reaching a conclusion. Putting hands on either shoulder, they huddle up, discussing behind Roxas' back.
"Dude, I think-"Stopping mid-sentence, they see Olette walking to them, waving. Walking fast to the orange dressed girl, Hayner stops right in front of her.
"Hey Hay- Mmph!" Hayner covers Olette's mouth, grabbing her and forcing her into the small group.
"What do you guys think you're doing?!" Olette yells, but gets hushed by Hayner.
"Guys, shut up! We don't want Roxas snooping around, now do we?" Pence looks back, seeing Roxas wasn't in the danger zone, but talking to the two girls, mostly Sora. He sighs in relief.
"Wait, can someone explain to me what's going on?" Olette puts her hands on her hips.
"Ok, so, you know how Roxas hates formalities, right?" Olette nods. "The girl over there," Hayner points towards Sora, "Curtseyed to him."
"Yes, and? I think that is pretty normal around here if you are royal." She rolls her eyes.
"Th-that's not what I meant! He didn't scowl, growl, or anything! He just blushed and bowed back down." Olette raised an eyebrow at this, contemplating on what this action meant. Finally finding her words, she answered.
"Okay, so you are telling me that he is possibly in love with the girl over there?" They nod. "Why not prove it? Let us see if the prince likes her, and if he does, we can set them up. Now, why don't you get the redhead, is she a friend of the brunettes?" They nod. "Well then, go get her!" They scurry off, scooping Kairi up and taking her away. Olette can see Kairi squirming in their arms, saying words of protest. She rolls her eyes. 'They are just a bunch of idiots, aren't they?' Olette walks towards them, ignoring Roxas' words.
"We have business with her, and if you come in and follow us, you will get it." She says, saying the last four words dangerously.
Roxas nods, feeling scarred. Sora was curious to what 'it' was, though he didn't feel like finding it out. It seemed really painful. He shrugs it off, turning around to continue his chat with the prince.
1: That's right. Kairi forced Sora into a bra and made him have Oranges in it. Well one on each side, I don't want those biiiig puppies. *Shivers*
A/N: So uh, yeah, there. I'M DONE. Okay, it may seem off and sloppy, I was doing it while we were going somewhere! I was tired, but I knew I had to update this story!
Anyways, onto more stuff, this is the end of the beginning of the ball! (Was that hard to comprehend?) How wonderful, wasn't it? Yes, I know I skipped what Hayner, Pence, and Olette would tell Kairi, but that's a surprise~ Well, to be frank, I'm still trying to sync up everything. I know the ending and Roxas' expression and all that good stuff, but putting them together is harder than I thought. I need to write it all down in a notebook! Oh, and I skipped Roxas and Sora's talk, you'll see it soon. Yeah, that's all for now.
PLEASE R&R!
