Chapter 4 Don't worry, I have not forgotten about "the awakening room" I am just working on the lemon...That is also yaoi! It is a SoVen! If that interests you, go read it, RIGHT NOW! P.S- In chapter two, Roxas' teacher's name was Mrs. Alice, I don't know why it got cut off. Also, in chapter one, their good friend was Kairi, I don'y know why that got cut off either.
"That looks beautiful" Sora said standing behind Roxas, who was painting a white owl. The school day was over, and Roxas had decided to go tot the art room to paint. He jumped in his seat, startled by Sora. He quickly turned around. Seeing that it was Sora, he smiled. "What are you doing here Sora?" he asked.
"My mom said I could hang out with you today." Sora answered, smiling. "Oh, okay." Roxas said, turning back around to put on the finishing touches. "And...done" he said, scribbling his signature, then leaning back, so Sora could see. "Oooh, I love its blue eyes." he said looking at the painting first, then gazing at Roxas' blue eyes with his own. "I like yours too" Roxas blurted, then sucked in his breath, realizing that he blurted that out. "I didn't mean to say that!" he thought, hoping Sora didn't notice. Sora smiled cutely at him. Roxas quirked an eyebrow. "Maybe he didn't care." he thought, relieved. After cleaning his station, he and Sora left, and walked to Roxas' house. It was cloudy outside, and the smell of rain was in the air, but it wasn't raining yet. Roxas scrunched his nose.
"Do you always walk?" Sora asked. "Yea." Roxas replied. "Well, doesn't it get a little lonely, walking by yourself?" Sora asked with concern. "Yea, but I'm used to it." Roxas said as he opened the front door to his house. "What does he mean by that?" Sora thought with a confused expression, as he walked into Roxas' mansion.
"Roxie!" an older girl exclaimed, running up to Roxas, and hugging him. She looked up, and saw Sora. "Who is he?" she asked, referring to Sora. "Nami, this is my friend Sora I told you about last night." Roxas explained to Namine. She nodded, and smiled. "I'm Namine" she said, "But you can call me Nami.". "Oh, cool nickname! I'm Sora, but I don't have a nickname." He said sheepishly, shrugging. Namine giggled. "I like this guy" she mouthed to Roxas(When Sora wasn't looking) pointing to him."Good job, Rox" she mouthed, before walking into the kitchen." I'll go get diner ready then." she said. Roxas blushed a small bit.
Both boys stood awkwardly in the living room, looking around. "So," Sora said, breaking the awkward silence. " Can I see your room?". Roxas paused. "Yea, sure, why not?" he said, then lead Sora up the stairs to his room. "Oooh..." Sora said in amusement, as he looked around the room. Practically everything was decorated in red, black, and white checks, and there was a large window at the end of the room. He peered into the bathroom. It was red, with white, and had a large tub, and shower, that looked big enough to hold three people.(A/N: The bigger, the better!;) Then, he went into Roxas' closet(Which could actually be a room, that's how big it was.) that was black with checks. It had three mirrors(So you could see yourself from different angles.) a dressing room, a dresser, an ironing board with an iron, a dressing curtain, and a small chair. "You really love checks, don't you?" Sora asked as he stepped out of the closet. Roxas nodded sheepishly. There was a crash of thunder, and the power went out. Both boys squeaked. Then, the lights flickered back on. Sora noticed Roxas holding his hand, and looked at Roxas curiously. "Oh, sorry." he said, pulling his hand back. Sora smiled cutely at him." It's okay, I was startled too." he replied, then walked up to the window. "Awwwww shhhheeeeeeiiiiiiit." Sora groaned. Outside, it was pouring, and thundering.
"What's wrong Sora?" Roxas asked. "Nothing" Sora sighed, sitting on Roxas' bed. Roxas sat down beside him. "Please tell me." Roxas begged. "Why?" Sora asked. "Because I care, and if you cry... well I would too. I have an issue with crying. If someone else does, even a baby, I'll cry too. So, please tell me." Roxas said, blushing . He had never told anyone that secret before. Sora smiled. "That is just precious." he thought sweetly. "Well," Sora said, "My mom said I have to be home by a certain time, and how can I get home now?! There's a thunderstorm outside!" he exclaimed, pointing out the window. He didn't want to disappoint his mom.
"You could spend the night here." Roxas said shyly. Sora blushed, and smiled sweetly at him."Hey, that's not a bad idea! I'll call my mom." he said, pulling his phone out of his pocket. He quickly dialed his mom's number, and held the phone to his ear. "Hello, mom... Yea, I know, it is pretty bad outside...I'm at Roxas' place, don't worry mom...Can I stay over the night?... Yes!" he said, then hung up. "You can stay the night?" Roxas asked. Sora nodded. "Yep!". "Okay, well, we do have a guest bedroom, but it's full of... old junk." Roxas said doubtfully. "Oh, where would I sleep then?" Sora asked innocently, twirling a lock of his hair in his finger. "We could share a bed." Roxas said, blushing profusely. "Okay then." Sora replied with a smile, and a small amount of blush as well. They sat there in awkward silence, then there was a knock at the door. "Dinner's ready." Namine said through the door. Both boys got up, and rushed downstairs.
* * (After dinner) *
After dinner, Namine went to her room, and the boys went Roxas' room. Roxas changed into his footies, sort of not caring that Sora was watching. But Roxas was also watching Sora as he got dressed into an extra pair of Roxas' footies.(A/N: Soooo kewt! I just had to add it!)"He looks so cute in footies, like a little blonde baby!" Sora thought. They both blushed at each other, then flopped down on Roxas' bed, lying down, and looking out the window at the flashes of lightning. "So, what did you mean when you said that you were used to being alone?" Sora asked, looking at Roxas, who was looking out the window.
"Well, when I was 9, my parents just kind of... Left. Then when I was 11, Nami and I heard that they died from drug overdose. So, yea, that's what I meant." Roxas said a bit shakily, keeping his gaze on the window. "Oh, sorry I asked..." Sora apologized sympathetically."Oh, nah, it's okay. I got over it over a month." Roxas said, lying. He knew he was still trying to face reality.
"But, don't you miss them?" Sora asked, concerned. Roxas gulped. "Yea, I m-miss them a whole lot." he replied, his voice cracking a small bit, and shaking. Salty tears burned his eyes, and clung onto the corners of his eyes. "Gah!" Sora thought, "I don't want him to cry!". But it was too late. Roxas turned on his side, away from Sora, and started to cry silently. "Dammit!" Sora thought. He hugged Roxas from behind, and cuddled closer to him. Roxas blushed, turned back around to face Sora, and held onto him tightly, trying to remember the way his parents used to hold him. Remembering his parents, he cried harder,wetting Sora's shoulder. "It's okay... It's okay... It's okay..." Sora sung delicately in Roxas' ear.(A/N:Your Guardian Angel, btw.) Roxas cuddled closer to Sora, and clutched onto his shoulders, his sniffling turning into small sobs, as he felt Sora's warm breath on his ear, and heard his sweet, youthful voice. Roxas' crying quieted a bit when he heard Sora sing:
"I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever, I'll be there for you through it all, even if saving you sends me to heaven..."
Roxas calmed down, and looked up at Sora, with bloodshot eyes, and a red face stained with tears. Sora looked down at him, and tried to force a smile,but couldn't. Seeing Roxas' pain caused him to shed a tear. "That sounded beautiful, don't stop now!" Namine whined. Both boys quickly let go of each other, and sat up, wiping off their tears, and blushing profusely. Namine giggled. "What do you want Namine?!" Roxas barked, completely pissed. "It's your bedtime." she replied before walking back to her room. " Hope you have NICE dreams!" she hollered, then snickered as she shut her bedroom door. She sighed happily as she flopped into her bed."He really is a good guy, isn't he?" she asked her stuffed rabbit, (A/N:IDK) picking him up, and hugging him. "I like him." she said, "He's good for Roxie.". She had seen everything that had happened between them in Roxas' room, and she was glad that Sora was so understanding, and caring for her brother, even though he just met her brother. She turned off her lamp, and fell asleep.
*Meanwhile*
"You have a nice voice." Roxas whispered to Sora, both of them in bed, with the lights off. "I do?" the brunette asked innocently. Roxas' arms were wrapped around Sora's' waist, and face pressed to his chest. He felt the brunette's chest rise and fall as he breathed, and felt the small vibrations of Sora's voice. "Yeah, I think your singing voice is very soothing. It calmed me down some." Roxas replied. "Thank you Sora." Roxas whispered, smiling. Sora quirked a brow. "For what?" he asked. "For helping me, and for letting me able to share my emotions with you. I've never really told anyone how I've felt before." Roxas replied, snuggling into the warmth of Sora's chest, and then falling soundly asleep. "Glad it was me" Sora whispered, then pecked the blonde's cheek before falling asleep himself.
