Of Fruits And Promises
Chapter Seven
Moving On
"Roxas blushed and leaned in for another kiss."
Sora leaned against the palm tree playing a soccer game on his cell phone. He had absolutely nothing to do and all of his friends were probably on dates. Again. It was no fun messing with Roxas anymore. If he ever got within range of him, Roxas would flush red and run the other way. Funny but it was starting to become annoying. He sighed. So here he was, bored out of his mind and maybe…a bit hungry. Sora closed his cell phone, about to head over to Wakka's house, when his phone rang. He stared at the number on the screen and then laughed. How unexpected.
"Hello?"
"Hey loser, what's this I hear about you becoming a sex god?"
Sora rolled his eyes. "Hey Seifer," he began. "I don't know what you're talking about. Me? A sex god?" He was rewarded with a snort of disbelief.
"Don't give me that crap. You have a damn fan club back in Twilight Town."
Sora's eyes widened in shock. A fan club? "Seifer, seriously, what are you talking about?" He heard Seifer sigh. He never really did like explaining things.
"You better listen well spiky. Those two years you were at Oblivion, I was at Balamb Garden. Stop laughing punk!" Sora pulled the phone away from his ear laughing and wincing from Seifer's yelling. He never went to Balamb Garden unless it was to pick up girls and that meant he was uncharacteristically single despite his reputation of being known to have multiple girlfriends.
"As I was saying, I heard you went to Twilight Town before heading home and when I get there you had a fan club. I mean, come on! First Roxas, now you. What about me?! I'm hotter than both of you!"
Sora laughed as Seifer's statement. But he wasn't in Twilight Town for such a long time to have fan club started. He was only there to see his friends…Oh. No. Way. "Who started the fan club?"
"Who do you think?! Olette! She worships you, as does half of the female population of the town!"
"So? What else is new? Tell them I'm bi then." Sora shrugged. This was old news. Olette was the queen of fan clubs.
"They already know that. The next time you go over there I bet my whole wallet of munny that you'll get jumped by yaoi crazed fan girls."
Sora's throat tightened. "It's that bad?"
"Olette has this huge yaoi guidebook with your name on it." Sora bit his lip. "And Fuu is betting on who you'll do it with." Sora was about to ask who but was interrupted. "You do not want to know."
Sora sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Why him? What the hell was he going to do now? He loved skate boarding in Market Street. The place was huge. Now he had to find someplace new in fear of getting jumped. By girls. Yay.
Seifer brought him out of his reverie. "So how is the seduce Roxas plan going?"
Sora smiled. "It's getting boring. He doesn't know whether he's gay or straight. We kissed but he keeps avoiding me. I think it's time to move on…"
"Told you so."
"Man, I wish you were here. It's no fair you live over there. I'm lonely."
"Well you're wish is about to come true. I kind of borrowed one of Cid's airships. Rikku can never say no to me. I'm heading over to the island now."
Sora jumped in the air happily. "Yeah! Seifer you're the best! I knew you loved me!"
"Yeah and I also want to pay your brother a visit. He owes me money."
Sora rolled his eyes, laughing lightly. "Everyone owes you money," he said, sarcasm evident in his voice.
"Exactly." Apparently Seifer was oblivious to that sarcasm. "The whole world owes me money. Now come meet me at Aerodome. I don't feel like hiring a punk to carry or better yet, steal, my stuff."
Sora groaned and headed down the dirt path, towards the busiest part of Destiny Islands where the Aerodome was located. It was like an airport for airships that traveled between worlds. And now he had to go there. It was too crowded. Sora hated crowded places.
"Where's Rai when you need him..?" Sora mumbled. Unfortunately, Seifer heard him.
"He's busy getting' busy with Fuu, y'know?" Sora laughed at the imitation. He turned a corner and froze in his tracks, not hearing what Seifer was saying on the phone.
"Sora? You there?"
How could he? How dare he? They kissed, and now…
"Sora what's goin' on man?"
Sora leaned against a house wall grateful that it blocked his vision now. He struggled to bring his breathing back on the phone. "Yeah Seifer. I'm gonna hang up now. I'm coming to pick you up, don't worry," he added as Seifer began going off about being 'stranded'. "I just don't want Leon coming after my ass because of the phone bill. See you soon." He hung up before Seifer could even respond. He turned around, deciding to take the long way to the Aerodome. Seifer could wait. Taking a deep breath, he began walking, holding in the tears that wanted to fall so badly.
xXx
Roxas pulled away from the heated kiss he was sharing with Hayner. Staring at house in front of them. He could have sworn he heard someone crying but…
"Why did ya stop for Roxas," Hayner interrupted, pouting. "You do like me don't you? Or do you still like girls?"
Roxas looked back at new boyfriend and smiled, playing with his curly hair on top. "Of course I still like you. I just thought I heard something…"
Hayner shrugged. "I know what I want to hear…you saying my name..," he tugged on Roxas' belt buckle, pulling him forward. "In a million octaves higher?"
Roxas blushed and leaned in for another kiss.
He moved on.
xXx
"Calm down Sora. Talk slower. Who did what?" Seifer asked pulling Sora in a warm embrace as the walked to his house. Sora was shaking violently, crying silently. It was that pain. It came back. That same pain he felt on the roof of the high school. Kami, why did it have to hurt so much?
"Sora," Seifer pleaded. "You gotta tell me what happened so I can help."
Sora gripped Seifer's jacket tighter, broken sobs filling the now quiet area as they walked. "R-Roxas…He was kissing H-Hayner…." Seifer tensed then looked away. "So he really did come here then? Olette wouldn't tell me."
"It isn't fair, I hadn't even made out with Riku. I was waiting for him to actually see me! To fall in love with and then he kiss—"Sora choked on his words as the tears fell. They just wouldn't stop. Seifer unlocked the door with Sora's keys and led him up to his room. At least Leon was out. He didn't feel like his yelling.
Sora stumbled onto his bed with a 'thump' and had a dazed look in his eyes as Seifer pulled a blanket over him. "Maybe," Sora's quiet voice broke the silence. "Maybe, It wasn't meant to be. Maybe that stupid fruit just destroyed our destinies instead of intertwining them."
Seifer was sitting in his recliner chair. "Not true, he said as he stared out the window. "You shared the fruit with someone. Maybe your destiny is intertwined with that person." Seifer's voice was gentle almost. "I'm no fool for destiny but still.."
Sora sat up. "Who else is there? No loves me dammit! They all leave me for someone else!" Sora yelled frustrated. It wasn't fair. "I can't hide it anymore! I can't take it! I'm so damn lonely…" He brushed away the tears roughly from his eyes.
"You're not alone," Seifer mumbled, clenching his fists.
"Oh really Seifer? Then tell me who I have? Enlighten me!"
Seifer turned and settled his cold blue gaze on Sora.
"Me."
Wow.
What do you think? I thought I should add a little angst this story.
Tell me what you think.
