Lost: Ok, I'm making a bold leap here. I don't know whether this was too fast or not but I couldn't hold it in any longer.

Axel: A fart?

Lost: Ignoring…Anyway you all (the awesome readers) will know soon enough about what I'm talking about.

Axel: Wonderful…

Lost: Also I take all of your feedback into account and one in particular said that I need to work on my intimidation in Saix. I completely agree with that and am supery dupery horrible with intimidation and fright. xD

Axel: Then why'd you make this story anyway?

Lost: Finally an excellent question from Axel, the answer to that is…IDK

Chapter 7: Cherries

Sora lifted his lunch tray and started walking towards his fun little lively table. He spotted the usual people at his table including Riku and his friends. Ever since Sora and Riku became friends their tables sort of fused together to create an uber table of awesomeness. No one complained since everyone knew each other. Someone even commented that they should have done this earlier.

"Hey guys," Sora smiled as he sat in between Hayner and Pence and across from Larxene and Marluxia.

"So back to the main topic," Hayner announced. "When are we going to have the epic party of the century?"

"Maybe April," Luxord proposed.

The epic party of the century was one of the biggest parties of not the century but more like year. Each year Hayner and the others would host a huge party at whatever venue anyone chose. Mainly the rich kids would pick the place since they knew more about it. During the party there is no fighting, no cursing (thank the lord), no arguing, no shouting (except to the music), and you should have fun. This is when everyone can just hang out.

"No April's too far!" Kairi snapped. "What about March? We get two months of planning and its closer."

"Nice," Hayner commented. "Alright, March it is!"

"What place?" Namine asked quietly.

"I know a place," Riku said. Sora gulped as he slowly turned towards the lovely voice. "My uncle owns a sort of mini mansion down in Hollow Bastion. He only uses it during the summer so we can use it."

"Will your uncle let us?" Kairi asked eagerly.

"Most likely," Riku replied calmly. "I have a way with words when it comes to persuasion."

Riku's gaze fell on Sora and Sora quickly pretended to eat. After that little incident they had yesterday (A/N: I can't keep track of my story days so if this was another day…sorry!!) Sora and Riku have had a strained relationship. Riku is acting like…well Riku but Sora is acting like a little school girl seeing Johnny Depp or something.

"Interesting place choice," Hayner aka the party planner remarked.

"Review," Hayner shouted. "Ok, so we are having the party in March at possibly Riku's uncle's mansion."

Everyone nodded and started talking about something else. After everyone's fun little conversations they went on their separate—well a lot of them had the same classes together so they actually went on their way. Sora lingered in the back as he watched Riku dump his tray like a movie star as girls started crowding around him.

"Riku I love you!" A girl shouted.

"Riku. You. Are. Awesome." Another breathed uncontrollably.

"Riku will you marry me?" A stupid one squealed.

Riku calmly placed his tray on the dish thingy and turned to the girls. He flipped his hair out of his eyes and the girls all simultaneously fainted as Riku sighed. He started walking away leaving the girls' bodies sprawled on the ground.

As Riku walked away Sora could hear him mutter, "I've got fucking superpowers."

Sora chuckled and started walking away as well until he saw a familiar crazy face push through the "dead" girls.

"Riku!" She sung.

"Leave me alone, Xion." Riku mumbled without slowing his pace.

"Never! Not until you accept your love for me!" She screamed.

Sora felt his body fill up with rage. He just hated Xion so much. She was a crazed girl who no one liked. She wanted everyone to love her and she's a legal stalker. Sora just wanted Xion to disappear and never come back to haunt Riku ever again.

Xion caught up to Riku and pulled his shoulder causing him to turn around. His eyes were like darts. There wasn't even an inch of happiness in them. They actually looked…lonely.

"Riku," Xion said oblivious to what Riku's eyes read. "You need to stop running away from your future wife."

"You're not my wife." Riku snapped.

Xion made a stupid face. "Well duh! I said future wife. That means later on."

"Just go away," Riku sighed.

"Nope,"

"Please just go way," Right now Riku was desperate for some alone time.

"Never,"

"I'm going to call the cops." He threatened.

"Pssh, I'm been there a couple times already. It's nothing serious to me."

Sora felt his legs move. What was he doing? Why was he walking towards Xion and Riku? What the hell was he going to do? He was getting closer. He was just one foot away from them. Xion couldn't have his Riku. No one will.

"Ahem," Sora said standing in front of Riku and holding his hand in front of Xion.

"Oh you…" Xion sighed.

"My name is Sora." He said unwillingly. "Leave Riku alone."

"He's going to be my husband anyway." Xion stuck her tongue out at Sora and slapped his hand away.

"No he's not," He's going to be mine.

"Now who's to say?" Xion mumbled.

"Riku," Sora said simply. The two turned to Riku who was smiling like there was no tomorrow.

"Now Riku, sweetie," Xion said fluttering her eyelashes. "Do you want me to be your wife?"

"No," He said quickly.

Xion groaned. "This is not over. You hear me? This is soooooo not over. Riku, you will warm up to be eventually and when you do, I'll be there!"

Xion zoomed off like a villain leaving Riku happy as ever and Sora confused as ever. "Thanks Sora,"

"N-No problem," He stuttered.

Riku sighed and scratched his head. "Alright see ya,"

Riku turned around and Sora instinctively caught the sleeve of his hoodie. "Wait,"

"What?"

Sora's face turned red. Why'd he grab Riku's goddamn sleeve? "I…wanted to say your welcome."

Riku smiled halfheartedly. "Ok Sora,"

Sora let go of Riku's sleeve and let him walk out of sight like he did yesterday. He let him go again. Why was it so hard just to talk to Riku? All Sora wants is to have a good conversation with him.

I want to know about Riku, Sora thought. Letting him go was the worst thing he could do.

Sora gulped and quickly tried to catch up to Riku. Riku had chemistry with Sora and…Xion. Sora walked past a group of girls and looked around the hallway. There were only two people kissing and Sora immediately blushed.

I wish that was me and Riku.

Sora looked around even more and saw Riku slumped up against a locker. He looked tired and quite annoyed. His aquamarine gaze was set on the ground. Even though he looked horrible Riku somehow had the ability to make his demise look lovely.

"H-Hi," Sora said walking towards him.

Riku looked up and smiled. "Hey Sora,"

Sora looked away and Riku grumbled. "What?"

"Nothing," Riku mumbled.

Get to know him, The voice in Sora's head said.

"Um," Sora began quietly. "Do you w-want to c-come over to my house…sometime?"

Riku looked away for a second and then smiled. "Sure,"

Holy shit

Play it cool, Sora. "Good, I guess you could come by tomorrow." Tomorrow was Saturday a wonderful day.

"Alright," Riku said walking towards the chemistry room.

"Wait," Sora squealed. Don't sound clingy. "I'll walk with you."

Riku blinked a little in deep thought. "You do that,"

"Yea…" Sora said with a racing heart.


"Wait," Axel sighed. "Calm down, Hayner."

"Ok…ok…I'm calm," Hayner panted.

"Just spit it out." Nia muttered. "More like sputter it out."

"Roxas passed out," Hayner shakily said.

"What?" Axel asked a tinge of panic crawling up him.

Please Saix, Nia thought. Don't….

"He passed out while he and Saix were walking to class. The nurse hasn't said why he fainted but right now he's lying in the infirmary." Hayner quickly said.

"No way," Axel chuckled dryly. "Little Roxas fainted."

He backtracked through the cafeteria towards the nurse's office as Nia said, "Oh really?"

Hayner nodded cautiously. He along with Zexion's other friends already knew about Nia and what she had done. "Saix said he just collapsed."

"Did he mention anything else?" Nia pestered.

"No," Hayner said aggravated. "He said Roxas fainted and dropped his stuff."

"So he has," Nia said quietly.

Saix, Nia thought. What are you planning? This is not how you have told me. Are you planning on leaving me, Nia, behind? Well, we'll see about that.

Nia nodded to Hayner and started for the infirmary.


Sora paced around the chemistry door. If he opened that up then Xion would give him a death stare. He'd have to open the door eventually. Riku was waiting for Sora to open the door because he was blocking his access to it.

"Are you going to open the door or what?" Riku sighed.

"I will," Sora replied. Eventually

"Yup you will," Riku said grabbing Sora's hand and forced him to open the door.

Right after Riku pushed Sora in Xion instantly gave him a cold icy glare. "I'm watching you."

"O-Ok…" Sora shivered as he sat down behind her. Xion slowly turned her head so she could look at him. It was like one of horror movie slow head backwards turn things. Sora stared wide eyed at her not knowing what to do.

"Riku is mine," She smiled.

"No," Riku said standing in front of Xion's desk. "I'm not yours."

Xion quickly changed from threatening psycho to cute yet equally psychotic. "Ah, sweetheart,"

"Don't call him sweetheart," Sora snapped involuntarily.

Xion pursed her lips. "My love, if I don't own you…who does?"

No one should. Sora thought.

"Sora," Riku said simply to which Sora blushed and Xion clench her fists.

"You," Xion said snapping her head towards Sora. "Is this true?"

"I…uh…um," Sora looked at Riku who shot him a look that said, Play along. "Y-Yes I do,"

"This is unacceptable." Xion said flipping back her hair. "Riku cannot belong to such an ugly creature."

"Hey I'm not ugly!" Sora cried.

"That's what ugly people would say." Xion said matter-of-factly.

"How can I prove that Sora owns me?" Riku asked smiling. He was enjoying this very much.

"Well that thing over there has to command you to do something." Xion said folding her arms. How does she know all this stuff?

"Go for it Sora," Riku wanted this "game" to continue.

"What should I say?" Sora wondered aloud.

Xion looked at the way Riku was looking at Sora. "Tell him to kiss you."

Sora's heart began to race incredibly. "What?"

Riku shrugged. "No objection from me."

What?! Sora's mind raced with some weird and some nasty thoughts. He gulped. "O-Ok, R-Riku k-kiss me,"

Xion gingerly scooted her chair away so Riku could step over to Sora's desk. Sora's teeth chattered as Riku got closer and closer and leaned over his desk. Riku stared into Sora's eyes with what? Mischief? Happiness? Boredom? Who knows?

Sora's teeth stopped chattering as Riku pressed his lips to Sora's. Sora happily closed his eyes and felt warmth consume his body. Riku's lips were so soft and luscious that they felt like air on Sora's lips. The kiss lasted for about ten seconds until Riku reluctantly pulled away.

"So," Riku began. "Do you believe me now or what?"

Xion looked from the awestruck Sora to the relaxed Riku and said, "I do,"

"Will you leave me alone, now?" Riku asked quickly.

"Yes," Xion lied.

"Then sit somewhere else. This is my seat anyway." Riku sighed. Xion reluctantly got up from the chair and sat at a desk on the other side of the room. Riku grabbed the now empty chair and sat so he was looking at Sora.

"That was awesome. She totally believed that." Riku cheered. Sora's face was as red as a cherry. His heart was still beating fast and he was a lost for words. "Sora?" Still nothing. "Hello?"

He instantly snapped back to reality and said, "What?"

"Thanks for the help," Riku smiled.

"N-No problem." Sora shakily smiled. Riku turned around so now he was in front of his desk. Now Sora only saw Riku's hawt back.

~Calm down, Sora. ~

Was that Sora's conscious?

Who are you?

~You're conscious, silly. ~

What are you doing here?

~I'm supposed to tell you what you're supposed to do tomorrow. ~

Tomorrow? What's happening tomorrow?

~Are you kidding me? You totally forgot about the big day? ~

Oh shitake mushrooms! Riku's coming over what am I supposed to do?!

~Calm down. ~

Ok, I'm calm. B-But Riku just kissed me a second ago!! My mind is racing with all of these questions and I have no answers.

~Wow, you think smarter than you talk. ~

Conscious!

~Oh, right. Ok, give me one of the questions on your mind. ~

Why did Riku kiss me?

~Stupid question. He wanted to get rid of Xion. ~

But he did it so casually and so quickly!

~Maybe he likes you. ~

No way! Who can like someone like me?

~Apparently Riku. ~

Conscious what am I supposed to do?

~Let him make a move on you. ~

What are you talking about?

~Create a situation where you make him make a move on you. ~

What? How am I supposed to do that?

~Think…cherries. ~

Cherries? Cherries? What the hell am I supposed to do with cherries?

~Calm down. What do some people do with cherry stems? ~

They put it in their mouth and after like a second they can tie a knot with it.

~But…? ~

It's only for good kissers.

~So, how did it feel like when Riku kissed you? ~

Amazing.

~That means he'll be able to do the cherry trick. Use that as your base. Bye, bye. ~

Wait! Where are you going? I still need help! What do I do after the cherry thing?

~You'll know. You'll know. ~

Conscious! Conscious!

That was quite a strange conversation. Sora actually thought he was crazy. His eyebrows furrowed at the teacher who looked at him with an expression that was, what did I do?


"Leave mom!" Sora shouted.

His mom peeked around the corner. "Why? Why can't I see my son's little friend?"

"Because you can't," Sora snapped. "Go to the flower shop or something."

Sora's mom was Aerith, the most beautiful woman in the neighborhood. "Fine,"

Sora smiled and his mom went out through the backdoor. "Don't do anything you will regret when you're older, honey!"

"What?" Sora asked.

"Nothing," She smiled.

After a few moments of pacing around the front door Sora finally heard a knock. He quickly opened the door and saw the greatest person in the world at his doorstep. Riku was wearing a dark blue shirt and some black skinnies. He had his hands in his pockets and smiled down at Sora.

"Yo," He greeted.

"Hi," Sora quietly said. What the hell am I supposed to do now?!

Riku stepped inside and gazed around the room. "Nice house,"

Sora shrugged. "It's alright."

Riku swung around. "You don't like your house?"

"It's not the greatest house on the block but it's ok." Sora sighed.

"I wonder what your room looks like." Riku smiled.

"What? No!" But Riku was already halfway up the stairs before Sora finished.

Sora quickly followed after him as Riku guessed which room was Sora's. "It's this one."

"H-How do you know that?" He was right.

Riku shrugged. "I just guessed."

He opened the door and to his surprised was not what he had expected Sora's room to be like. "Huh,"

"W-What?" Sora asked as he flushed with embarrassment.

"I thought your room would be a bit more exciting." Riku said disappointedly.

"It is exciting!" Sora said pushing past Riku into his room. The only actual fun part of Sora's room was the Call of Duty poster over his bed. The rest of his room looked like a catalog picture in an IKEA magazine.

"Cool, cherries," Riku said ignoring Sora. He sat at the edge of his bed and grabbed the bowl of cherries on the table.

Sora gulped. Here we go.

Sora climbed onto his bed and sat at the very tip of it, on top of his pillows. "So, do you like cherries?"

"I like them better than strawberries." Riku said plopping one in his mouth.

"Can you do the cherry stem trick?" Sora's heart was beating faster than a Ferrari speeding down the street.

"What do you think?" Riku asked tearing a stem off of a cherry. "Think back to when I kissed you yesterday."

Sora blushed. It was quite intoxicating. "You were alright, I guess."

Riku looked hurt. "Stop lying we both know I'm an awesome kisser."

"How do you know?"

"Because I can do this," Riku put the cherry stem in his mouth and after a second took it out and it was in a knot.

"T-That doesn't mean anything." Sora badly wanted Riku to kiss him again.

"Oh really?" Riku's eyebrows rose.

"Some people are able to do it even if they suck at kissing. Seriously Google it." Sora was surprisingly calm.

"How can I prove it to you?" Riku asked inching closer to Sora.

"You can show me."

"Ok, five bucks says that I'm an incredible kisser." Riku proposed.

"You're on." Sora whispered.

Riku jumped on Sora causing the cherries to fall on the ground. He pressed his lovely lips against Sora's little ones. He shifted so he was in a comfortable position and Sora wrapped his arms around Riku's neck.

Riku let his tongue join the fun and there was no objection from Sora. Sora moaned happily and Riku accepted this as a real kiss. Sora's head bumped into the Call of Duty poster but he didn't care. They kissed for about a minute until Riku pulled an inch away.

"Do you believe me now?" He asked.

"No…" Sora said panting.

Riku smiled. "Then I guess I have to keep showing you until you get it."

And then Riku commenced kissing Sora over and over again.


Roxas looked over at Saix. He was staring at Roxas intently.

"Is there something on my face?" Roxas asked patting his face.

Saix laughed. "No,"

"Then why are you looking at me?"

"I was just thinking."

"Thinking about what?"

"About what we're going to do tomorrow,"

"Oh," Roxas said. "Got anything planned?"

Saix smiled. "You bet your ass I do."

"Good,"

However, Roxas didn't know that what Saix had planned wasn't going to be fun at all.

Roxas slowly opened his eyes. He was staring at the cream colored ceiling of his room. That dream…It was the day before the incident. Before Roxas knew what Saix really was he was actually happy. He had a friend he could just talk with. He had someone he could rely on but now…he had no one. Saix had to earn Roxas's trust right? Well he did. Sadly and unfortunately it hurt Roxas to find out Saix didn't care about him at all.

"Panic attack," Roxas whispered.

Panic attack is what the nurse said and she was completely right. Roxas freaked out because of Saix and now he was lying in his bed with his mother not allowing him to go anywhere. He assured her that he was fine but she insisted on him staying in bed and regaining his strength.

Roxas grabbed at his cell phone. He lunged for it and fell out of bed. He sighed as his hand tipped the glass of water on the table. It sprayed its water over his face.

"Regain your strength." He mumbled.

Roxas's vision began to blur and it wasn't because of the water on his face. He soon realized he was crying. He let the tears roll down his face as he threw the empty glass at the wall. Roxas didn't even bother getting up. What's the point?

"Why can't Saix leave me alone?" He sobbed.

"I haven't…d-done anything to him." He wheezed.

He didn't care if he was crying or not. Nothing mattered to him anymore. Saix had come back and is ruining his life. His new friends can't help them because Roxas can't tell them. He was alone.

He was utterly and truly alone.


I added the little bits about Roxas in because some people were wondering about what had happened to him.

There we go! We've got our first couple!!

I actually couldn't type the two kiss scenes because I was squealing too much!

I finally got it in and now…I don't know.

Well to satisfy you guys the next chapter is going to be a Roxas/Axel chapter. The one after that is going to be a Demyx/Zexion one.
