CC: *Hands out scripts*
Sora: No…No!
Roxas: Oh come on! Everything was going so well…
CC: Sorry guys, but it's gotta happen…! Now on with the show!
Destiny Islands' Academy for the Young and Gifted: Sora and Roxas' Room
Roxas opened the door quickly, letting Sora in before him, causing the brunette to grin, and say in a girly voice:
"Oh what a gentleman…" He snickers, and leans toward Roxas, the silence overtaking them.
"So…that was pretty ballsy of us…" Roxas smiles at Sora.
"Aww that smile…you're adorable!" Sora swoons, hugging Roxas tightly.
"H-hey!" Roxas blushes furiously, looking away as Sora nuzzles into him, slowly pushing him onto Roxas' bed.
"So Roxas…when you roomed with me, were you glad?" Sora asks, looking up at Roxas, as he now lying on the blonde.
"Well…" Roxas smirks, watching Sora grow impatient.
"I was thrilled to room with such a tanned, buff talker. Who knew he'd fancy me? You?" Roxas says, a hand drifting to Sora's behind.
"Well for me, I was pumped that I got to room with this quiet, cute blonde boy with the most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen…" Sora says, smiling broadly and blushing.
"Man, we're saps…" Roxas chuckles, his hand squeezing at the butt of the teen on top him, causing the brunette to yelp in surprise.
"WOAH! You're frisky!" Sora grins, leaning in to kiss Roxas once more.
They lay for a few moments, silently enjoying each other's company.
"Hey Sora, as much as I'd love to keep fooling around, we have a quiz tomorrow in math, and if we're tired, we're screwed." Roxas comments, running a hand through Sora's crazy hair.
"Who's we? You'll do great! You basically teach me math, after all." Sora comments.
"Psh, go to sleep." Roxas rolls his eyes, smirking.
"Okay." Sora sits up, pulling his formal clothes off while still sitting on Roxas' bed.
Roxas watches, a blush rising to his face as Sora reveals his toned physique to his friend. The brunette grins, and hops under Roxas' covers, snuggling up to his pillow.
"What the! Hey this is my bed, you little!" Roxas complains.
"And?" Sora says sleepily, looking up at Roxas with big blue eyes.
Roxas sighs, and gets ready for bed, forcing Sora to relinquish his pillow: "Two guys sleeping in one bed…could you get any gayer?" He chuckles.
Sora smirks: "Why yes, yes it could. But we don't know how thin these walls are, do we?"
Roxas blinks, 'how dirty of Sora!' he thinks. He brushes a bit of Sora's hair out of the brunette's face, giving the teen a quick kiss, and thinks to himself; 'man…he's awesome…I hope we'll always be like this.'
Destiny Island's Academy for the Young and Gifted: Ventus and Vantias' Room
"That was retarded!" Vanitas says, irritated beyond reasoning.
"What was?" Ventus says, looking over for a moment.
"First you have to be a total idiot and run into those two kooks, then they gay out on the freakin' dance floor. Talk about guilt by association!" Vanitas fumes, stalking around their room.
"So being gay's a bad thing?" Ventus asks, tapping a pencil to his lips.
"…Well, no! But these are still high schoolers, they only cheered because they thought it was a joke, not those two being serious!" Vantias retorts, running a hand through his hair.
"And that hurts us?" Ventus stands, confused.
"The blonde kid, Hayner saw us together, he'll spread the word and there goes any chance of people overlooking us." Vanitas says, his eye twitching.
"…Maybe they should find out." Ventus sighs.
"…What?" Vanitas says, his voice indicating the danger of Ventus' words.
"Yeah, what are you…ashamed of me, huh?" Ventus asks, a bit annoyed: "Am I the ugly girl you hide?"
Vanitas turns to him, leering at him furiously: "What would you know! You basically fell for that fuckin' twin of your's!"
"Ugh…would you calm down? You're really angry, more so than usual…" Ventus says, frustrated.
Vanitas sits on his bed, clenching his fist and unclenching it angrily. "I'm gonna go for a walk. I'll be back." He says, storming out of their room.
((This next section of Ventus was written to "Ventus Theme." For dramatic effect, find it on youtube, and take a listen))
"Alright, be back—" Ventus is cut off by the door slamming.
He sighs sadly: "…Soon."
Ventus drops onto his bed, his face in his pillow…
"Roxas…I hope Sora and you will make each other happy…maybe we could learn a lesson or two for you guys." Ventus says quietly, into his pillow.
Ventus looks over at Vanitas' vacant bed, and sniffs, a tear rolling down his face. "Van…" He says to himself, and slowly drifts off to a sad sleep.
Destiny Islands' Academy for the Young and Gifted: C House hallways
'Damnit Ven…how can you stand up for those losers?' Vanitas thinks to himself as he paced up and down the long hallways.
'After all, we're supposed to be together…you're supposed to support me. What's his problem? Is he falling for that jack ass Roxas? That little brat, with his stupid I'm so quiet and sad act…And both Ven and Sora ate it all up.' He fumes as he passes by his room, glaring at the opposing door, leading to Sora and Roxas.
He walks down a floor, continuing his silent rambling: 'I hope those two get so much shit when people realize they were serious…then maybe Ven will think twice before leaving me.'
He continues walking, before blinking, hearing voices. Not one to normally eavesdrop, Vanitas considers leaving, but his curiosity overcomes his normal senses, and he leans into the door…:
"…don't get it, man! What were they THINKING?" A familiar voice says.
"You're telling me, Sora could do so much better…" Another voice responds.
Vanitas pauses, thinking to himself 'That second guy sounded like Riku! Weird…' He continues listening.
"What are you talking about? Roxas is entirely out of Sora's league. Sora's a simpleton, Roxas is artsy and smart." The first voice says.
"…God, you sound like such a girl." Riku chuckles: "Whatever, we're agreed, then?" He inquires.
"Yeah. We'll break 'em up, to save them from the ensuing ridicule." The first voice says, hesitantly.
"Yep." Riku responds.
Vanitas grins, returning to his room…
'I gotta tell Ven…wait…I can't…He'll tell Roxas. Damnit, Ven!' He curses in his head as he return to his room, to find Ventus sleeping soundly.
He sighs, and falls asleep, gleeful to see how Riku and his friend's plan will work out.
The next morning…
Destiny Islands' Academy for the Young and Gifted: Sora and Roxas' Room
Roxas woke up with a smile tugging at his lips. He opens his eyes slowly, seeing Sora sleeping soundly next to him. The blonde very carefully gets out of bed, planting a kiss on Sora's cheek, who smiles in his sleep, rolling over and pulling up the sheets.
Roxas looks at the alarm clock, which read 6:30.
'Hm, still a while 'till school starts.' He says, glad for that fact.
Roxas walks into the washroom, turning on the shower, he strips down and hops in.
'Hmm today's gonna be an awesome day…' He smirks to himself.
He looks up momentarily, his smirk fading: "Mom…I still miss you with all my heart, but don't be mad, I'm just…really happy I found Sora, alright?" He says to the air.
He smiles as he can almost feel her voice say "I could never be mad at you, I love you."
Roxas finishes his shower, and changes into his school clothes, humming to himself.
He looks over at Sora, who still sleeps soundly in his bed.
'He's so adorable…' Roxas thinks to himself, rubbing Sora's shoulder slowly as he sleeps.
The blonde walks over to Sora's bed, sitting down, and texts his brother, Cloud:
"Hey, you up?" He asks, tapping at the touchscreen.
His phone vibrates: "Yea. What's up?"
"Nothing much, just bored." Roxas responds.
"Saw your little performance last night. That was ballsy. Totally saw it coming." Cloud responds. Roxas could almost hear his brother laughing.
"Yeah yeah whatever, not like it matters to the students, apparently." He responds.
"I wouldn't be so sure, man…" Cloud responds.
"What do you mean?" Roxas asks, a bit worried.
"It's nothing, just a feeling. You two have fun. I g2g; gonna shower." Cloud says.
Roxas looks up at Sora, and throws his phone at the sleeping brunette.
"Hey! Sora, wake up. I'm bored." He says, chuckling.
Sora groans, rolling over: "…Huh? Why wake me up if you're bored?" He says, yawning.
"I dunno, 'cause you're awesome company? Well, that and if you wanna be remotely clean for school, you better shower, now." Roxas grins.
Sora groans again: "Damn mornings…" He grumbles as he sits up, pushing the sheets away.
Roxas' eyes drift down: "Woah." He says, eyes widening somewhat.
"What?" Sora looks down at his morning visitor: "Shit!" He covers himself with a pillow, blushing furiously.
Roxas laughs: "Oh man, you should see your face!" He looks over at the brunette, who was now frowning.
"Hey no fair! I bet you totally had one when you woke up. Probably poking me in my sleep, too!" He complains.
"Oh go shower, cutie." Roxas rolls his eyes, grinning.
Sora stands, still covering himself with a pillow: "C'mon, just a wittle kiss first?" He whines innocently.
Roxas' face goes slightly pink, the heat rushing to his face: "A-alright." He leans in, to which Sora takes full advantage of.
The brunette lays his hands on Roxas' shoulders, pressing him into the bed, and kisses him passionately, removing the pillow, he grinds up against the blonde, causing him to groan audibly.
"Hey Roxas…" He says breathily.
"Yea?" Roxas responds.
"We should do more…" Sora says seductively.
All Roxas can manage is a nod.
"But nope, I gotta shower!" The brunette laughs broadly, strolling off to the washroom.
"…You tease!" Roxas says after a moment to catch his breath.
"Your fault!" Sora calls back, still laughing.
Destiny Islands' Academy for the Young and Gifted: Math Class
Riku looks over at Roxas and Sora, who sit close side by side, Roxas supposedly helping him with his homework, since the quiz was over.
He looks to Vexen, who was talking to Axel about lighting his lighter in class.
Riku grins darkly. He stands walking over to Vexen, he eyes his goal: a master key card to the school.
The silver haired teen strolls over, accidently tripping on Vexen's desk, he quickly grabs the card as he 'catches' himself on the man's desk.
"Riku! Watch yourself, perhaps I can teach you the mysteries of math, but most certainly not the mysteries of how to watch where you're going. After all, it's not what they pay me for." Vexen says, slightly irritated.
"Sorry, sir. Anyways, I came over to ask if I could go to my room and back? I want to pick up my textbook for my next class." He says simply.
Vexen considers his proposal: "Are you finished the assigned work?"
"Yes, sir." Riku responds.
Vexen nods: "Then yes. Be quick."
Axel swears: "Shit! That reminds me, Professor Vexen, mind if I get mine, too? Riku just reminded me I left mine, too. I woke up late and was in a rush."
Vexen sighs: "Bloody kids…so forgetful. Fine fine, but no more smoke in my class!" He says, shooing the red haired teen.
Riku waits outside the class silently, and looks over to Axel as he walks by, nodding.
"Let's do this." Riku says.
"For Roxas." Axel continues.
"And for Sora." Riku finishes.
They nod, and jog towards House Oathkeeper.
The two see few people on their way to the dorm, though nearly run into a senior on their way.
"Woah!" Axel says, stopping himself from running into the tall blonde in front of him.
"Damn, juniors. Don't run me over, now." The blonde says.
"Huh, you're Sora's friend. And you're Roxas' friend." The blonde says.
"…Yeah, we are. How'd you know?" Riku asks, suspicious of this oddly familiar looking blonde.
"No real reason, those two have been on cloud nine for a while, they're pretty popular, already." The blonde says cryptically.
"Yeah, they are. Well, see ya!" Axel says, grinning, and walking by the blonde quickly.
"What a weird guy…" Riku says after a minute or two had passed.
"Yeah. Whatever, this is it; 305." Axel says, shrugging.
"I got the key, let me." Riku says, pressing the key card to the finger print panel.
The panel flashes green, and the door unlock audibly.
Axel and Riku look around curiously: one bed was a mess, while the other was perfectly made.
"…Oh god, they didn't." Riku says, looking at the one bed.
"Let's get this done with. Which side is Roxas'?" Axel asks.
Riku roots around in some of their stuff: "This side, the one they slept on."
Axel nods, stepping forward, he pulls out a pair of frilly panties, leaving them hanging out ever so slightly.
"Now all we gotta do is make sure Sora gets here first." Riku nods.
"Yeah…let's get the hell outta here, though." Axel says, holding the door.
The two walk out quickly, making sure no one saw them.
As they walk down a deserted hall in the main building back to class, they discuss the plan.
"So remember, Axel: you get Roxas to stay back a bit, make something up. That'll let Sora get there first, and see the panties…" Riku nods.
"Right. Remember, it's for their own good." Axel agrees.
The two blink as they hear a quiet gasp from behind them.
"What the hell?" Axel turns around, seeing a sophomore, fair haired girl standing quietly, a hand to her mouth.
"Shit! It's Sora's little sister!" Riku says.
"Namine! How much did you hear?" Riku demands, hiding his nervousness behind anger.
"I…I…" She stammers, clearly terrified.
"Out with it, kid." Axel demands.
"…All of it." She says, looking down.
Riku's face softens as he steps forward, picking up the girl's chin, he looks her in the eyes: "Hey hey, sorry if I scared you. I forgot, you're a lot more sensitive than your big brother. Nothing's gonna happen to you, Namine. But you gotta stay quiet, for your brother's sake. The school will make him miserable, and Roxas, too. It's better if they don't stay together."
Namine blinks, trying to decide if she should believe him or not.
"…Alright…" She says, looking away. "I have to go, now." She says as he walks away quickly in the other direction.
"Damn, that was close." Riku says.
"We gotta keep an eye on her, she might try to tell the truth." Axel cautions.
"Given enough time, neither will want to believe the truth…" Riku says, sighing at all the underhanded business.
Destiny Islands' Academy for the Young and Gifted: Math Class
Axel paces into class, holding a textbook.
The fiery red head walks over to Roxas: "Hey Roxas, can I talk to you for a minute after Art ends? I want to know what you think of my project." He asks, grinning.
Roxas blinks, looking away from Sora's work: "Uh, sure. Why not?" He says, a little confused.
"Don't give me that look: you're the best artist in the class, got it memorized?" Axel chuckles.
Sora joins in: "He's got you there, Roxie." And snickers, grinning at Axel.
"Oh alright, I will, Axel." Roxas rolls his eyes, smirking.
"Great! Thanks pal." Axel pats Roxas on the back, before walking over to his own desk.
'It's for your own good, Roxas…you could do so much better…' Axel thinks to himself.
He looks across the class in the opposite direction, awkwardly catching glances with a very sad looking Ventus.
He shakes his head, 'does everyone with Roxas' face act depressed? Yeesh…' he smirks, going back to his work.
Destiny Islands' Academy for the Young and Gifted: Art Class
Roxas was still curious as to why Axel wanted his approval on his artwork, but chalked it up to the red head trying to stay friends.
At the end of class, Axel came up, Sora saying: "I'll be at the room, Roxas. No rush, ok?"
Roxas nods: "Alright, see ya soon."
The blonde looked over as Axel watched Sora leave, then walked over to Roxas, a grin on his face.
Destiny Islands' Academy for the Young and Gifted: Roxas and Sora's Room
Sora walked in casually, talking to himself cheerfully.
"Man, today has been such an awesome day…" He says as he changes into his casual clothes.
He looks over at Roxas' still unmade bed: "Well that's kinda my fault…" He frowns, and goes to tidy his friend's bed.
Sora begins to smooth out the sheets, tucking them in. As he looks down the line of the bed, straightening the sheets perfectly for Roxas, he notices something pink sticking out of Roxas' drawers.
"Roxas owns something pink? I wonder what…" He trails off as he pulls out a pair of frilly panties.
"What…the…" Sora examines the underwear, a growing lump of curiosity, fear and sadness growing in his throat.
"No…" He says…his mind coming to the most logical (to him) conclusion.
The door clicks unlocked as Roxas walks in: "Sorry Sora, Axel wouldn't stop talking…so weird for him, normally he's quieter—You alright? You look…off…" Roxas says, walking forward to Sora, extending a hand.
Sora steps back, his voice shakey: "Where…"
"Where what?" Roxas says, now concerned.
"Where did you get these?" Sora's voice cracks as he holds the lacey undergarments in front of him at arm's length.
"That's simple. I didn't." Roxas says, now totally confused, and very worried.
"Then why were they in your drawer?" Sora demands, becoming angrier.
"I-I don't know! Maybe someone put them there." Roxas says desperately, all too aware of Sora's anger.
"That's what they always say, Roxas! So how can I believe you?" Sora says, shaking his head quickly.
"Because you mean the world to me, Sora…you made me smile, even after—" Roxas is cut off by Sora's now choked voice.
"No! Don't do that…!" He says, tears falling freely from the brunette's sad blue eyes. "I knew you were too good to be true…!" He exclaims miserably.
"What? Sora, I'm being honest with you, don't you believe me?" Roxas says, sadness coating his voice.
"I…I…I can't! You were too perfect from the beginning! I guess I was just a joke: stupid Sora gets played like a couple of spoons for a cheap joke, huh?" Sora says, becoming very angry and incredibly heartbroken.
"But Sora!" Roxas exclaims, desperate for the crying brunette to believe him.
"Just go! Take your whore's shit, too!" Sora exclaims, throwing the panties at Roxas' face.
Roxas catches them: "Sora…please…" he says quietly, his lip quivering.
"No! Don't lie to me anymore!" Sora shouts.
Roxas turns, sniffing back tears, he crunches a hand around the pink fabric.
"Sora…I…" He trails off, his head hung as he leave his room.
After the door closes, Sora breaks down.
He collapses onto his bed, crying deeply, his pillow stained dark with his tears of immense sadness.
"Roxas…why did you do this to me?" He cries into his pillow, his body shaking with his misery.
Outside the door, Roxas slides against the wall to the floor, and hugs his knees, crying softly in the empty hallway.
"…Roxas?" A familiar voice says, concerned.
Roxas looks up for a moment; Ventus was leaning over him.
"Go away, Ven…I don't want to be around anyone right now…" Roxas says miserably.
"What happened, Roxas?" Ventus ignores the blonde's request to be alone, and sits next to him.
Roxas looks over, touched by his lookalike's empathetic gesture.
"Sora found these in my drawer…" He holds up the panties.
"Never knew you liked to wear girly underwear, Rox." Ventus grins a bit.
Roxas doesn't see the humor: "They're not mine, and I didn't get them from some girl." He says the last two words with contempt.
"The only one I want to be with wouldn't believe me…he said I played him like a couple of spoons." Roxas says, dropping his head between his knees once more.
Ventus rests a hand on Roxas' back, rubbing it consolingly: "Hey hey…he'll come around, eventually…you just gotta give it some time. These things happen in relationships…"
Roxas shakes his head, still looking down: "It usually means the end of that relationship when one thinks the other's cheating…"
Ventus says nothing, afraid of the truth in Roxas' words. They stay silent for a while, Ventus comforting his heartbroken friend.
"Roxas…You gotta have faith that Sora will see the truth in one way or another. Now, as much as I want to stay, Vanitas wanted me to help him with our English project…" Ventus says, saddened that he has to leave.
"…Alright…I'll find Axel, or something." Roxas says, standing slowly.
"Sounds like a plan, if you need anyone to talk to, or just to listen, don't hesitate to ask me, alright?" Ventus says kindly, wrapping his arms around Roxas.
Roxas hugs back tightly, "Thanks, Ven…" he says, tears forming once more.
Ventus closes his eyes, letting Roxas expel more of his deep, internal pain.
Eventually, the miserable blonde lets go of his lookalike, and smiles a sad smile, "See ya, Ven…"
"You're an awesome guy, never forget that, Rox." Ventus says kindly.
Roxas smiles a little wider, and walks off to the stairs, to Axel's room.
Destiny Islands' Academy for the Young and Gifted: Axel's Room
Axel waited nervously in his room, wondering if Roxas would indeed go to him like he figured.
A knock at the door was heard: 'Maybe that's him…' he thinks to himself.
The red head opens the door to find a puffy eyed blonde teen standing there: "Hey Axel…got a minute?" He says, looking up at Axel sadly.
"…Of course, you alright?" Axel says, concerned.
"No, I'm not…" Roxas sighs, beginning his story.
Axel's heart faulters as Roxas tells him what happened, feeling terribly guilty for all the pain that was endured by the two.
After his story was through, Axel breaths in: "Well bud, if you need a place to stay for now, I got a room to myself…" He motions to the unused bed they were sitting on.
"You really wouldn't mind?" Roxas asks.
"Course not, we're friends, right? Friends help each other." Axel grins.
"…Alright. But if I'm being too much of a burden, just say so, I'll go somewhere else." Roxas says, hesitantly.
Axel nods: 'See Roxas? You're too good for him…But me…' The red head thinks to himself.
Axel and Riku: Why are we the bad guys?
CC: …You're not! Were you even paying attention? You're doing the wrong thing for the right reasons.
Roxas: Yeah! And no funny business while I sleep, Axel!
Axel: …No dice!
Sora: Touch him and die, red head!
Axel: Bring it, spiky!
