Chapter 3... Jealously fits the bill.

Roxas' POV

Another day, another day for singing and walking to class.

"Oo, ooo, oo, I like that girl."

"Ha-ha! You definitely like that girl man. Roxas, you know what songs to liven up the place."

"Thanks Ventus. I am happy to hope me and Xion can become a-"

I got cut off to see short silver hair, no, not just silver hair. A male with silver hair talking to my partner and getting closer to her. He turned from his hearing to see me and Ventus in the hallway, just for me almost about to enter the room.

"A-amazing.. partners." I finally finished my sentence but with a slight stumble with it.

"Roxas, I never expected you to be in this class."

"R-Riku, what are you doing here?!"

Great, now I sounded like a idiot. Even it's infront of Xion, damn it.

"I have come to this class to exchange partners. I am allowing myself to become Xion's partner instead of you. You are just slowing Xion down with your mind and heart being weak as it is."

! That did hurt me and put myself to slight shame. Plus, Riku's words soon hit my heart very badly. I feel like crying once those words hit me but I am not letting him win on this. He is friends with Sora and still is but hates me and.. well.. he'll appear in a few minutes.

"Hey! Better watch it Riku! I could tell Sora what you said to my little brother. For once, can you just leave Roxas alone?!"

"He needed those words told to him. Or else, he'll get someone else to say it and it will be the person he don't want this told to."

Hold it... hold it in. I can't let Riku win, I can't get what he wanted.

"Also, like you would tell Sora, Ven."

"Don't you dare call me Ven after what you just said!"

"And.. Tell Sora what exactly?"

Riku have done it. He has crossed the line. Riku soon turned to look whose behind him as the tension weights heavily in the room.

"Vantias, you're here!" Ventus exclaimed in slight happiness but sill angered by Riku.

From the corner of my eye, Xion is scared by Vantias' appearance.

"Xion.. i-it's ok."

Xion turned to me as I give off a gentle smile. I turned back to Vantias, I couldn't hold it in anymore. Vantias has the right to know.

"Riku is-"

My mouth soon got covered by the hands of a liar.

"Ignore Roxas, Vantias."

I am starting to pissed off due to that. "I advise you to let go of Roxas..."

"Yes sir."

Riku finally uncovered my mouth as I looked at Vantias and Ventus happily. Vantias was the step-brother whom I gave my respect to, not by fear of course. He gives me and Ventus some knowledge that is quite useful. Any time we need him, we yell the code. And Riku yelled that code just as easy as pie.

".. Now, get out!"

"E-eh? Why?!"

"I heard what you said and Ventus texted me extra details."

"You!"

Me and Riku say in union. Although, I said it with a smile as Riku look murderous. Wait.. well, Riku wouldn't go far to say in a public place unless it's only I am around. Could he have been..

"Jealous..?"

Now me and my big fat mouth.

"What did you sa- ooo, Riku, you like Xion?"

Ventus got that hint of info I regret to say. Please say I am wrong.

I turn to Riku.

Riku is red... wait.. I AM RIGHT!?

".. It's more than that."

Riku gives off a glare at me from my uncontrollable thoughts. Damn it, can't I be wrong just this time!?

"Hmm, Roxas."

"Y-yes!"

Vantias shocked me there for a second.

"I will discuss this matter with Sora later. Ventus, since I am in a good mood today, you get to do my job today. Just hurry your ass to class, we only got 5 minutes."

Me and Ventus lost our words by Vantias. I decided to check on Xion again to see her slightly pale and still scared by Vantias. I'll explain my family later, for now, watch the most random scene of today.

"Haha!" Vantias just laughed before he left the room.

"Oh no." Riku spoken sarcastically, oh boy. "Ventus is probably better than- Ahhh!"

Ventus just knocked RIku out of the window with his strugglebat we use to practice before our swords.

"See ya later Rox! Yahoo!"

Once more, most random scene of today. Somehow Ventus looked scary for a second there, damn.

"Umm, Roxas?"

"You probably don't want me as a partner anymore huh?"

"No. The truth is, I decided to trust you, you finally earn my respect."

"!"

I was mainly shocked once I heard those words come out of Xion's mouth. Xion, put her own trust into me. I have earned her respect.

"So don't ruin your reputation or mine if you know what's good for you."

I turn to Xion, my eyes wide in pure shock. I ran to Xion and hugged her.

"Thank you! You are the only one I trusted in this school so far!"

There's no regret when I hugged her. Suddenly, my feet moved on it's own for the first time in joy.

"Ha-ha!"

"Roxas! S-stop it."

Without noticing, someone in full black with another in green is smiling to see me in a joyful moment.

"I can't believe it, my brother found the definition of happiness."

"Heh, for once, I am proud of Roxas. He become stronger and learn to become independent slightly. Also, for standing strong against Riku easily."
