An Exchange Student

Chapter 4

Roxas finished dressing up and stepped out of his room. His brother liked sleeping a lot and it was very difficult to get him up. Sora was always goofing around and acting hyper, and it took a lot of energy.

Sora's room was just on the other side of the corridor, so Roxas just took one step and opened the door.

"Hey, Sora! It's time to – where is he?" Roxas wondered. There was nothing in the room. Just Sora's computer, his schoolbag, clothes scattered everywhere, a weird bundle in the bed… A weird bundle in the bed?!

Roxas tiptoed to the bed and carefully poked the bundle. It made a whining noise. "Ewww!! It's alive!" Roxas screamed.

"Go away…" the bundle mumbled.

"Sora?" Roxas questioned doubtfully. The bundle moved a little and a brown tuft of hair came into view. Roxas sighed, sat on the bed and put his hand were he assumed his brother's shoulder was.

"What happened, Sora?" Roxas asked, worried.

"I don't want to talk about it!" Sora yelled.

"Come on, Sora. We always tell everything to each other", Roxas urged. Sora sat up, still wrapped in his blanket.

"Promise you won't tell anyone?" Sora asked.

"Uh-huh, I promise."

"And you won't laugh?" Sora made sure.

"Of course I will… I mean won't!" Roxas said.

"Well… I went to the bathroom and forgot that I broke the lock of the door. Riku, the serial killer, was there, having a bath and he was…" Sora started. He looked around, checking that there was nobody else. "…naked", Sora whispered.

"Naked?" Roxas asked.

"Uh-huh!" Sora said, nodding.

"In the bath?"

"Mm-hmm!"

"Who would've guessed?" Roxas laughed.

"Don't make fun of me!" Sora pouted. Roxas eyed Sora for a while.

"So… Did you see his –" Roxas started but his speech was muffled by Sora's hand.

"Don't say it!" Sora hushed. Roxas giggled.

"You're too innocent, it's hilarious!" he laughed. Sora got buried under his blanket again.

"You promised you wouldn't laugh!" he sniffled.

"I didn't laugh!" Roxas said with a blank look. Sora lunged at Roxas, starting a playful wrestle.

The door opened and Cloud appeared in the room.

"Wake up, Sora, time for breakfast… What are you two doing? Get a room!" Cloud snorted.

"This is a room!" the boys shouted.

"Well, anyway, when you two lovebirds are done doing…what ever you're doing, come down, breakfast is ready", Cloud said smirking and left, leaving the two boys to continue their game.

oOo

The Strife family and Riku were sitting at the table, eating breakfast and chatting happily. The only one who was quiet was Sora. He was too embarrased to say anything so he just focused on eating his cereals.

"By the way, Riku! Have you met Sora yet? He's the younger twin", Cloud said.

"Oh yes, we've met", Riku chuckled. Leon arched an eyebrow. Sora flushed scarlet.

"Y-yeah…" Sora said and glanced at Riku. Riku winked at him and Sora quickly looked away. Noticing the wink, Cloud grinned.

"Oh, this is interesting", he smirked.

Sora wanted to be swallowed by the earth. He was so embarrased, and now everyone was staring at him. He could actually feel Riku's amused stare on him. But Sora wouldn't let Riku win by running away, not this time. Sora was going to stay where he was, and finish his breakfast.

This is going to be the worst year of my life, Sora thought.


A/N: Ooooh, I'm soooo sorry that it has taken so long to get this done. I've been terribly busy with school and Xmas and I didn't have any time for this... But now I promise to write a bit faster. This chapter was supposed to be longer but I was in a hurry to get in done. I hope you won't hate me...

I know I don't deserve reviews, but I still love them... Sora will share a piece of his strawberry cake with everyone who reviews!!! Won't you, Sora?
