Summary: Is it incest if you love your other half? He's not really my brother, but I'm a part of him, his direct other. Does that mean we belong together? Or…or what? I don't know what it means… it could mean anything. But I know how I feel, I know how he feels. Now what do I have to do to put two and two together to get four?

Author's Note: So, I'm out of the hospital but not better than ever. The stupid incompetent doctors didn't know what was wrong with me, but sent me home with a bunch of happy pills. XD. So yeah. Thanks for all the reviews and such, they make me happy.

And in answer to one review, no all the guys aren't secretly into guys and the girls will make an appearance. So anyways I hope you enjoy the chapter! This is almost 3 pages on Word in Verdana, size 9 and is 1,495 words.


Chapter 3: One Touch

We looked back to Axel and laughed…hard. I swear, he's an idiot, he actually thought that we had done it. When he asked the question, I swear I heard a cricket. It got so silent it was almost unnerving. But then we all laughed, easing the tension that was slowly building up. It was relaxing again after everyone calmed down, Axel joined in a conversation with Hayner during the rest of the walk home.

Sora's arm was still around my waist, holding me close to his body. My hand was playing with the part of his shirt that I could reach. We weren't talking to each other, it was just nice being this close to him without it being awkward between us. I felt Sora's hand shift on my hip, his hand accidentally lifting my shirt, causing his hand to brush against bare skin. I looked to Sora and noticed he was looking down, away from me. I smiled at his adorableness and giggled slightly. My giggle caused everyone to turn and look at me oddly.

"What the fuck was that?" Axel asked, stopping his conversation with Hayner and Riku.

"Uh…" When the guys looked back not only were they looking at me oddly but, they were looking at how Sora and I were positioned. Axel and Riku were confused while Hayner looked at us with a smirk. Sora glanced at me the same time I did and we jumped apart, dusting off imaginary dirt.

That was the end of that. The guys didn't say anything else, which was surprising. Axel turned around, causing Riku to do the same. Hayner's gaze lingered a little while longer on us, a smirk plastered on his face. I looked him in the eyes, and that made me blush slightly. Something about Hayner's face and something in his eyes made me worry about nothing, but everything at the same time. And that worried me even more.

I looked over to Sora and noticed he was blushing. I raised my eyebrows when he looked to me and he shrugged overdramatically. I laughed, this time almost silently so the guys wouldn't turn around again. Sora and I continued to walk next to each other; the only difference was we weren't attached at the hip. But, every so often, Sora's hand bumped into mine. It was weird and different. He usually avoided me, especially physical contact.


We were spread out in the living room, everyone in different positions, all tangled together to make it hard to know who was who. Axel of course took the whole couch to himself, Riku sitting under his feet, on the couch too. Hayner laid near the TV, feet up on the entertainment center and head on Sora's lap. I was sitting behind Sora, leaning against the couch as Sora leaned against me.

A phone started ringing and we all started reaching for ours, it was then we actually listened to the ring tone. 'I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world. Life in plastic, It's fantastic!' then Axel answered his phone. "Hey girl…" … "At Sora's." … "Sure." … "Alright. See ya." And then he flipped his phone shut. Not only were we looking at Axel funny, we were confused about what the conversation was about. "The girls are coming over." He said simply, leaving the other guys to freak out.

They arrived like five minutes later, Sora was upstairs fixing his hair, making sure not a single spike was out of place. Hayner was still in the living room, watching TV, and Axel was in the kitchen, turning on some music. That left me to answer the door. Now, when Axel said girls, I thought he meant Kairi and Namine, but no, he meant Kairi, Namine, Rikku and Aerith. They passed me after I opened the door and went straight to find the guys. While they were walking on the carpet I had to remind them that there were no shoes on the carpet, and to take them off. They looked at me with rude expressions, but took off their shoes anyway.

Aerith was the only one who smiled at me. I think she liked me. She, unfortunately didn't know I was gay, so she made passes on me frequently. She was pretty, quiet and easy-going. Her hair was long and brown and her eyes were a bright green. I don't mind being around her, it's just that she's clingy and always around me, it's kinda annoying, but always sweet at the same time.

She stayed behind and walked with me back to the living room. Rikku was already in the kitchen, from what I saw, dancing with Riku (how predictable,) Kairi I saw walked upstairs, shaking her ass as much as possible, and Namine was laying down next to Hayner, watching TV. Of course, leave it to Axel to invite girls that liked us and were obvious about it .

"Hey, Aerith?" I asked while we sat on the couch. I was going to ask her if she liked me, I knew she did, but she never said it out loud.

"Uh, yeah, Roxas?" She looked to me with sparkling eyes, and a sweet small voice.

"Do you like me?" I said. She blushed and turned like fifty different shades of pink and red. It was adorable. She didn't say anything but she nodded numbly. "Oh." I said, I knew that that was the answer, but now that it was said it made it more real, more true and more weird between. "I'm sorry," I said solemnly. "But…I'm kinda…gay." That must have shocked her.

"Oh okay. We can still be friends right?" She replied happily. Either she didn't really care or she's a good actress. But either way she seemed happy. "Now that I've confirmed that, what do you think of the new teacher, Mr. Sinclair, otherwise known as Reno." I gaped at her like a fish. She already processed that I was gay and was okay with it? She only acted like she liked me to confirm that I was gay? Wow, she's good.

"He's hot. Have you seen his muscles?" I added on, ready to go full into the conversation.

"How could you not?! His shirts are like skin tight, I just want to-" She clapped her hand over her mouth and her eyes widened. She mumbled what she was going to say, but when I removed her hand she didn't say anything.

"Oh wow, I didn't think that you were actually gay!" Rikku all but shouted in her annoying high-pitched voice. "I mean, I kinda knew, but I didn't know, but then I knew and yeah…" She rambled off.

I blushed a deep scarlet, Namine looked back at me with a disgusted look on her face, that made my stomach turn for some reason. I got up and ran upstairs, hiding myself in the bathroom next to Sora's room. I wondered what him and Kairi were doing…

I shook my head of the thoughts that flooded my mind and decided to trace the fish designs with my fingertips. It wasn't that fun, it was boring, but it kept my mind busy. I finished tracing all the ones I could reach and sat on the counter. At least a half an hour must have passed, and the others must have been wondering where I was.

I heard a soft knock on the door before it opened. Dammit! I forgot to lock it, only I would. The person opened the door, leaving an opening that was small enough for them to slip it. The person turned out to be Sora, obviously. Only him or Hayner would bother to come and see me. And speak of the devil, Hayner was right behind him.

"What happened?" Hayner asked, coming straight to my side.

"Namine…" I admitted, no use hiding it from either of them, they would have gotten it out of me.

"What'd she do?!" Sora asked, fuming.

"She…" I grumbled the rest to myself, not really wanting to say it aloud, but knowing they would make me. "I think she's a homophobe." I said quietly.

"She's a what?!" Hayner all but screamed. He seemed pissed. I couldn't believe that he was actually that protective over something like that.

"Hey, Hayner, you know she likes you right?" Sora said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Which was true, it was pretty obvious, she was always hanging on his arm, playing with his shirt, running her hands through his hair.

"Really?" He asked dumbfounded. Sora and I giggled at the face he made when he said that and giggled even more when he kept it that way for a while. "I never noticed…" Hayner said truthfully.
