To Love All Things Pretty

A/N: so here I am once more... still kind of sad for the lack of reviews... but 7 is a start.. I wanna thank copygeijutsuka, Mizuki hikari for being so loyal to this fic so far, also want to thank TAIYOUKAI-SHI, and the person who favorited this story. Can't forget about rikureplica and fantacination for reading and giving me valuable tips. And sorry it took so looooong, but ff(dot)net was being a bitch.

Sephiroth: Alcorion owns nothing.

I have no more to say so... on with the fic.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roxas' POV

I hate hospitals, these white walls and white ceilings. This place means the end for a lot of people and yet, it means renewed hopes and a new life for others. Even so, I can't help but sense this horrible smell, the smell of death that lingers in here.

I think of Riku, he is so perfect, so beautiful and kind... he always treated me nicely. But that was probably because I was the little brother of his boyfriend, and I hated that. I think I've always loved him; my heart always seemed to jump and get uneasy every time he was around. And now I feel regret, the regret for never saying how much I cared about him, 'cause even if he had rejected me at least he would have acknowledged me in some way besides being Sora's brother. I hope he is alright for his sake and Sora's, I will never forget the lost look Sora had when I told him that Riku was in the hospital.

A doctor is coming out of the room right now, soon followed by Riku's father, I think his name is Sephi-something or other. That guy gives me the creeps.

I enter the room and the first thing I see is Sora kneeled on the ground, sobbing. I move my head to the left and there I see it, Riku's body, he seems so peaceful, he has bandages all over his body and around his eyes... I really want to go near him, but first I must see what is wrong with Sora.

"Sora what happened?" He turns and grabs me in a breath-taking hug... I urge him to the small sofa near the bed. "Tell me what is wrong Sora." He looks so small in my arms.

"It's all my fault Roxy all my fault." My eyes widen at the use of that old nickname.

"No Sora, this couldn't possibly be your fault." He looks at me, his eyes red from all the crying.

"You were not even with him, he left because he wanted to."

"But you don't understand Roxy, he didn't want to go to that stupid prom in the first place, I forced him to."

"Even so, you had no way of knowing something like this could happen." I stroke his back; in a lame attempt to sooth him a little. "He is gonna be alright isn't he? What did the doctor say?" I'm very worried with Riku's condition; I need to know how he is.

"Dr. Xemnas said he is only unconscious right now and that he should wake up soon..." He looks at Riku. "But his body is covered in scars and he is blind, he needs a cornea transplant in order to be able to see again." Blind? Oh no, poor Riku, how will he react to that when he wakes up? His eyes were so beautiful.

"I-I'm so lost right now, this is all my fault." I make him lay down with his head on my lap while I keep stroking his back, he must've been really tired, because he soon falls asleep.

"This is all messed up." I leave him sleeping on the sofa, I need to find that Xemnas dude and ask him some questions.

I leave the room only to come face to face with Riku's dad.

"I've seen you before. You are that boy's brother aren't you?"

"Y-yes I am." His eyes are so different from Riku's, they have the same color and yet, his dad's eyes are so cold and calculating, like a beast, waiting for one wrong move before it attacks.

"Has Sora gone home yet?" I shook my head. "Humph, that brat can't take a hint can he?"

"Don't talk about Sora like that, you don't even know him."

"Oh but I do, I know him better than you think, he is a tramp, only interested in Riku's money, I've seen that kind before." How dare he talk about Sora like that! Sure Sora was superficial, but he loves Riku, or else he wouldn't have cried so much.

"Shut up!!" He lifts one delicate eyebrow, like if he was amused by my sudden outburst.

"As you please, I am a very busy man, and I need to go back to my office." His tone is completely different now. "Tell my son if he wakes up that I will come visit him as soon as I can."

And he leaves just like that. I don't get it, first he looks like he could murder someone, and then he looks like I amused him. I decide to forget my quest for Xemnas for now. I think Sora needs me more now than ever before... besides if he is still sleeping, I will use that to get close to Riku.

Sephiroth's POV

Interesting kid. He has guts; I don't remember someone brave enough to tell me to shut up. He definitely doesn't know what kind of power I hold. Still, he seems a much nicer choice then that slut Sora, I never trusted the brat, and I still don't trust him, even if he tried to look as if he was suffering. That was pathetic, I could clearly see through his facade.

"Master Sephiroth." I acknowledge my driver with a nod.

"Take me to my house Lexaeus. Quickly."

"As you wish sir."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roxas' POV

I went back to the room. Sora was still sleeping, so I went to Riku's side. He looks like an angel, so beautiful, so flawless. I touch his face. His skin is very soft.

It will be very hard from now on; I still fear how he will take that he is blind. The good side, if there is a good side, is that he already finished high school, that way he will be able to rest as much as he needs until they find a donor.

I kiss him softly, I long for the taste of his mouth on mine, this is not the first time I kiss him like this, every time he slept in my house, I crawled inside Sora's bedroom and kissed him. I enjoy this touch so much that I don't even realize someone is moving behind me.

"Roxas?"

To Be Continued...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well... do you think it was too short? I'm trying to make this longer but...that seemed a good place to end... and next chapter or maybe in chapter 5 Riku will wake up!!! Yay!!

Sephiroth: Shut up! You are giving me a headache.

You are more bitchy than usual today... well... as you all have seen Sephy liked Roxas!!!!!

Sephiroth: No I didn't, you just made me think that.

Shut up, you are spoiling my fun.

Sephiroth: Good.

Oh forget it... until next time!!! Please please review??
