A/N I am so sorry it took me so long to update! Yesterday was my birthday, and I was on vacation, and I had 3 volleyball games, and I had practice and I HAD FUCKING HOMEWORK so in a nutshell, life sucks and here's my next chapter.
~The Cabin in the Mountains~
"I would."
Oh great, I pissed off the moose feeder.
Sora and I both turned around rather slowly, careful not to provoke the gun-wielding man.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the man holding the gun was more of a young man, and he was rather attractive.
He was tall, and he actually looked a teensy bit like Sora, with spiky brownish hair and an angry expression on his face. The only differences were that the boy was a bit lankier than Sora, and he had dark brown eyes.
"I'm going to give you five seconds to turn the fuck around and never come back." He said. He had a smooth, clean voice that made him sound like he could be a pop star.
"Who the fuck do you think you are?" Sora asked angrily, putting his hand on my shoulder protectively.
"Yeah, what are you gonna do, shoot us?"
I realized the mistake in my words only after I said them.
"Well, that was the plan…" Mystery man said, looking at us with disinterest.
"Uh, look, we don't want any trouble, we're just trying to—" Sora attempted to explain our situation, but he was rudely cut off by mystery dude.
"Well, you've already caused enough trouble, so I suggest you all leave, before I blow your brains out." Mystery man said calmly.
"We didn't even do anything!" Sora yelled.
I racked my brain for anything that we could have possibly done wrong.
"Well your fucking girlfriend screams so loud she'll cause a fucking avalanche!" Mystery guy reasoned sharply.
Sora glared at me and I glared back more violently.
"Uhuh, we just need to get to that cabin, sooo…" Juan said. I had almost forgotten that he was still with us. His tanned finger was pointing to the edge of the cabin that was peeking off the side of a steep cliff.
Mystery man followed his finger. "Oh, you guys are the slickers that stay there?" He laughed coldly. "Well by all means, I'm not going to stop you from entering hell's gate!" He kept laughing.
"What is so funny?!" Sora asked impatiently. He still didn't understand.
Unfortunately, I did.
"Yes, we are on our way to hell. Can you just not make this any harder for me?" I begged.
He looked a little bit conflicted, debating whether or not he should let us go.
"Fine. But you guys are going to need a guide, it's almost nightfall, and that's when the bears really do come out."
I shivered at his tone of voice. He was probably right.
"Will you help us?" I asked hopefully. Sora looked bewildered.
"What? No way! No way in HELL is he taking us up there!" Sora screamed. I pursed my lips tightly.
"Sora," I growled lowly. "We need his help!"
"No we don't! We can make it on our own! Right Juan?" Sora looked to Juan for approval.
"Ay! My name ain't Juan chico! It's Poncho." He annunciated carefully.
"Poncho?! Friggin' Poncho? I thought that was an article of clothing, not a name! Want a poncho, Poncho?" Sora asked rhetorically. He was at the point of tearing his own hair out, and I put my hand on his chest in an attempt to calm him down.
"Sora, calm down." I said soothingly. He looked down at me and I was half expecting him to glare at me murderously, but to my surprise, his face softened a little.
"Fine. Mountain man over here can take us to the cabin." He said, blowing a stray spike out of his face.
"My name's Neku, by the way." Mountain man said, lowering his gun and trudging to the side of the rocky mountain road.
I followed Neku, and Sora and Poncho did the same.
"Make sure to be quiet." Neku said in a whisper.
"No shit Sherlock." Sora hissed. I elbowed him and he inhaled sharply.
"Ouch woman! What the hell was that for!?" He asked angrily. By now he wasn't even trying to whisper.
"Shut. Up!" I whispered. He looked taken aback for a second. I'm sure he was going to yell at me, but Neku prevented his upcoming outburst.
"Will you two be quiet! The bears are always hungry you know!" Neku whisper-yelled.
"Oh, shut up Kristoff!" Sora said. I was completely confused as to why Sora was being so hostile towards Neku.
"Sora!" I whispered. Neku looked really pissed and I got worried that he would leave us to fend for ourselves, he did have a shotgun, after all.
"Excuse us for a minute," I said hurriedly to Neku and Poncho. Neku sighed and stopped walking so we could talk in private.
I pulled Sora violently to the side of the road, about twenty feet from the other people in our party.
As soon as we were far enough away from them, I began scolding him.
"What the hell are you doing!? Are you trying to get us eaten?!"
Sora put his hand behind his head and pursed his lips.
"I don't like that guy! He seems…suspicious…" Sora said lamely.
"Well he's our only shot at not becoming dinner for fucking Fozzie bear!" I argued.
"But I don't trust him…" Sora whined.
"Sora, you are acting like a two year old! Now grow some fucking balls and act like a gentleman goddammit!" I said loudly.
Sora muttered a few choice curse words under his breath.
"Fine, let's just go." He mumbled.
We walked back towards the road. By now, the sun was just a sliver of dark red at the horizon line, and we had to rely on what little amount of light the now appearing stars offered to get around.
We caught up to Poncho and Neku, who were both looking rather impatient and pissed off.
"What took you guys so long? You know we don't have time for you guys to be having quickies every five minutes!" Neku whispered angrily.
I could feel the blush on my cheeks the second he said that. Sora was smirking annoyingly.
"You're just saying that because you're jealous." Sora said proudly, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
I shrugged his arm away uncomfortably and hurried towards Neku and Poncho.
Neku laughed meanly. "Looks like the sex isn't as good as you thought it was huh?" He said to Sora.
Sora gave him a menacing look and my blush grew even redder.
Leave it too your cheeks to betray you when you need to act natural.
"Listen, you little—" Sora started.
"Can we just get going?" I asked desperately. Sora lowered his fist and Neku lowered his gun.
"Fine, let's go." Neku said. I breathed a sigh of relief and Sora muttered some not very nice things.
We walked in silence, and soon enough only the moonlight was our wayfinder. I watched the cabin grow nearer and nearer, and I could already see some of the lights were on, even from this far away.
I remembered from my last visit to the cabin, that pretty much everyone stayed awake until midnight. That was another thing that I hated about the cabin. I didn't want to stay up for three extra hours just to talk to some stuck up rich people whose only purpose in life was to flash their money in other people's faces and brag about their kids!
I pouted slightly at the memory and hugged my hands to my shoulders. It was got chillier as we ascended up the mountain, and I could see the snow banks that dotted the landscape.
The only sound that we could hear was the sound of our suitcases being dragged up the dirt road by Poncho. Well, that and the soft sound of my own breathing.
I breathed out of my mouth softly and watched as my breath turned into vapor when it hit the cool night air. To my right, I watched Sora mirror my actions and his own breath curled in the rustling wind.
Suddenly, I felt the need to talk to someone, anyone. I looked at Sora for a second and opened my mouth, expecting words to come out. Only nothing did, and I stood there like a goldfish, my mouth opening and closing.
Unfortunately, Sora decided to look at me at that moment. He took one glance at my face and an attractive smile lit up his face.
"You need something?" He asked cutely.
Ugh, I was getting way too used to him.
"Uh…no." I admitted slowly. He laughed softly and wrapped his arm around my arms.
"You cold?" He asked quietly. He rubbed my arms softly and I shivered.
Why are you being so nice to me?
"Aw, do you really think I'm that mean Kairi?" Sora asked.
Wait, did I say that out loud?
Sora laughed a little. "Yes, yes you did."
"Fuck!" I said a little bit too loudly.
Neku turned around and shushed me. I could sense Sora rolling his eyes. I still wondered why he hated him so much.
"We're almost there, so just keep quiet, ya hear?" Neku said.
I groaned a little. Sora rubbed my arms again and leaned in close to me.
"Don't worry baby, I'll protect you from your weird old relatives." He said with a light chuckle.
I swatted his arm off of me.
"Don't call me that!" I whispered. He laughed at my discomfort.
"You're such a bastard…" I whispered softly.
"And you're a crazy bitch." He said cheerfully. "A match made in heaven," he added sarcastically.
I glared at him again, although I doubted that he could see my face clearly. I could barely see his now, and the only source of light on his face were his bright sapphire eyes.
"Hear that?"
I nearly jumped at the sound of Neku's voice.
"Hear what?" Sora asked angrily.
"The wolves." Neku said wistfully. I listened carefully.
Sure enough, I could hear a faint howling in the distance. It was eerie, and I could feel light goose bumps on my arms.
"Creepy…" I said unknowingly.
We walked for a few more minutes in silence, listening to the wolves howl and the pine needles rustle. By now, the snow was piled high, and we were only about a hundred feet from the cabin.
"Hey Neku?" I asked quietly.
Neku turned around so that he was walking backwards.
"Yeah?" He said.
"Will you shoot me?" I asked in false seriousness. He laughed softly and Sora growled lowly.
"I would, but then your family might come after me, and they be scary." Neku explained.
"Would you two stop flirting for five seconds?" Sora asked angrily.
"What? Sora what are you talking about?" I asked, bewildered by his tone.
…Wait a second…
Oh…
Oh.
Things are making sense…
Dots are being connected…
Oh.
And this time, it was my turn to smirk.
Sora was jealous.
And he had absolutely no reason to be jealous, Neku and I had barely even talked, let alone flirted with.
"You two have been practically molesting each other ever since you pointed your fucking gun at us!" Sora yelled.
"What? Sora that's completely—"
"Sora, I'm gay." Neku said flatly.
Both Sora and I were completely frozen.
"W-wait…really?" Sora asked, confused.
"Haha, no. But you have absolutely nothing to worry about. It's pretty clear that she loves you." Neku said reassuringly.
Wait…
What?
"Oh really?" Sora asked, slowly turning his head to look at me.
Okay, if I wasn't embarrassed before, I sure as fuck am now.
"Uhuh, yeah Neku, REALLY?" I asked dangerously.
"Wait…am I missing something?" Neku asked.
"Yeah, your spleen you stupid, little—" I started, beyond furious.
"We're just, uh, going through a little rough patch here." Sora covered lamely.
"Oh, well, don't worry, you guys will definitely pull through. You guys make a good match, no matter how fucked up and weird you may be…" He said the last part a little bit more quiet than the first part.
"Don't we just?" Sora said happily, while placing a warm kiss on my cheek.
I pushed him away harshly and rubbed my cheek, attempting to kill his mouth germs.
"And we've arrived, hell's gate." Neku gestured to the cabin.
It was so much bigger than I had remembered. Sora whistled and Poncho gave us our bags.
"Uh, see you guys around!" Neku said in a hurry. And then he jogged back down the mountain from which he came. Poncho followed him, but not without giving us a little salute.
I would've said 'fuck me' right about now, but I think that Sora would've actually complied, so I resorted with screwing my mouth shut and marching to the door.
"Here we go…" I heard Sora mumble behind me.
I took one look at the large wooden doorway and shifted uncomfortably.
"Aren't you going to knock?" Sora asked wearily.
I held my arm out, poised to do just that, but I hesitated.
"Do you know how to knock?" Sora asked sarcastically. I turned around and glared at him.
I faced the door again with utter determination to rip the band-aid off nice and quick.
I gave the door three solid knocks and then I backed away so that I was standing behind Sora. Behind the door, I could hear moving feet and clinking drinks.
Soon enough, the door flung open to reveal bout a dozen eager faces.
"Kai-ri…how nice of you to actually show up!" My mother said in a friendly tone, but I could hear the anger inside. She reached through the thin crowd and grabbed my arm, pulling my through four different people.
"And who…is this?" My mother asked with keen interest, her eyes locked on Sora.
"That's my…boyfriend."
Oh god, I hope I didn't sound to strangled.
Stay calm, they can smell fear.
My mother clapped her hands to her cheeks excitedly. "He is so cute!" She said loudly.
My dad looked hesitant to meet him, but he shook Sora's hand firmly anyway.
"Alright everyone, let's give my daughter and her boyfriend a nice, warm welcome to the cabin!" My mother said in a sickly sweet tone.
Fuck.
