ShadowedDarkness: Yeah…this took me a long time to update on. Yeah, sorry about that. And I am most definitely sorry that this chapter isn't all that long. I have no excuses. Ummmmm, also sorry that this chapter might be rather boring, I apologize. But its just to set stuff up. Plus I'm going through major writers block….

I'm making excuses aren't I? XD

Aaaaaaaaanyways, because I don't want to die from a death of randomly chucked cyber fruit, you may now continue reading the story XD


Confessions


Blearily looking around me, I slowly rubbed my eyes. I was confused. Okay, well maybe confused was an understatement. Where the hell was I?

Deciding that the previous question was bothersome, and it truly was too early in the morning to be thinking, I laid back down into the warm comforting blankets. Tugging at the blankets I growled, why was I not able to get them to go up above my shoulders?

Rolling over, I glared at the silver haired teen that happened to be hogging most of the blankets…

……

………

"ACK!" Jerking upwards, I struggled to pull myself out of the bed. Why was I here! Who was he! In one last desperate attempt, I threw myself sideways, only to be tangled in the sheets and falling off the bed with an audible 'thump'.

Laughter filled the room, and suddenly everything came back to me. That person over there happened to be Riku, I was in his room, and he was laughing at me…

Blushing I rolled over and sat up. Struggling with the sheets that were insisting on staying attached to my feet; I gave my best puppy dog eyes over at the still laughing teen. "A little help if you don't mind." He just laughed harder, and with a huff I threw my hands into the air and decided to sit there (albeit uncomfortably) with my arms crossed, a scowl on my face (which once again looked as harmless as a …well you get the point), and wait for him to finish.

And finish he did…about ten minutes later.

Leaning over the bed, Riku made short work of the annoying sheets. "So…how was your up-close and personal meeting with the carpet?"

Standing up and brushing off my pajama pants I pouted. "Oh ha, ha."

He just smiled and got up from the bed. I watched as he slowly went around the room and picked out items he was going to wear for the day. Which reminded me, "Say Riku…?"

He laid a pair of jeans over a chair in the corner and went into his closet before giving a reply absently. "Hmm?" There was a shuffling of material before a small exclamation of 'Ah ha!' and Riku pulled out a dark blue hoodie.

"What am I going to wear today..?"

Plucking the jeans off the chair, he threw both the hoodie and the jeans at me. "For you." I blinked rapidly at what he handed me. And with that Riku was once again rummaging through his drawers.

Within minutes Riku was down to his boxers, and I was blushing to the tips of my ears and I quickly turned around. "Ummm, I-I'll meet you d-down st-stairs!"

Rushing out of the room and into my own, I shook my head. That had been, that had been embarrassing to say the least. Discarding the pajamas and quickly pulling on the clothes that had been handed to me (which still were too big for me, but at least they were smaller then what I had to wear yesterday and fit better), I made my way out of my room and down the stairs. Jumping the last two steps, I collided with a person at the bottom.

"Oie, you reaaally need to watch where you are going Sora…"

Scrambling off of the poor person I landed on, I found myself staring into blue eyes. It was Tidus. "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't see you, I-I didn't mean too, it was an a-"

"You really are jumpy, you know that?" I looked away as he stood up and blushed. There was an awkward silence before Tidus decided to speak again, only this time he sounded a lot more serious then he did before. "Hey Sora…I'm sorry for last night. I-It wasn't my place to pry…"

I looked up confused. What was he talking abou- oh…

The memories of last night finally came back to me. I froze. Looking back down, I twiddled my fingers. "I-It's okay…" I wasn't used to people apologizing to me, it was odd…

After all, why should you apologize to nothing?

His face lit up at the acceptance of my apology. "Great! Anyway, let's go to breakfast, Cloud is a total awesome cook!" He grabbed my wrist and I was dragged into the kitchen. He was pushing me into a seat next to him and asking for eggs before I even knew what was happening.

And eggs we got, and I could feel my eyes popping out of my head at the mountain of eggs that were suddenly pushed in front of me. Cloud stood over me, spatula in hand and a fluffy white apron on….

I giggled.

"Cloouuuuuuuuud, how come So-ra got more eggs than meeeeeee?" Tidus pouted as he looked dejectedly at his plate, then sliding his eyes over to mine. Then quick as lightning, Tidus switched the plates.

"HEY! Those are my eggies!" Yes, I said eggies. And so began the tug-of-war over the plate of eggs. It was when giggles erupted around me that I stilled, my head jerking up from my concentration to find the pairs of eyes that stared back at me. "GAcK!" I let go of the plate just as Tidus began to pull on the eggs again.

"ARGH!" Tidus toppled to the floor, the eggs flinging into the air, only to land onto the head of an unsuspecting Riku who had just walked into the room and had been heading over to the table.

The kitchen stilled, all giggles subsiding at the look on the fuming teens face. "Tidus…"

"Uh-oh…"

"I'm giving you until the count of three…" Riku's eyebrow visibly twitched. "One…Two…."

"Ummmmmm, bye!" With that Tidus was off the floor and running out of the room as if the devil himself was chasing him. Which he wasn't.

"THREE!" Riku hollered, and suddenly he was gone, the eggs flying through the air, a loud crash in the other room signaling the chase, and an upturning of a table. Now the devil himself was chasing him. A loud shout flew, from what sounded like upstairs….damn.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BACK RIKU! BACK I SAY! AGHHHHHHHH!" And then it fell silent…

No one moved in the kitchen, and suddenly everyone burst into laughter, including myself.

It was about a newly and freshly washed smug Riku, a bruised Tidus, and a couple of new plates of eggs (courtesy of Cloud) later, that everyone slowly began to get up from the table. I began helping Tidus clear the table.

A small cough alerted me to the red-head that stood next to me. She held out her hand and gave an encouraging smile. "Hi, I'm Kairi. Sorry we didn't really get to talk last night."

Shyly I took her hand, and found myself smiling along with her. She had a very pretty smile. She dragged me over to the other side of the table to face a, was that orange hair? It was curled up in the front and sticking up, a bandana held it back, and a smile adorned his face as he held out his hand. "I'm Wakka, nice to meet you, ya?"

Taking his hand I smiled, "Yeah, same here."

They both took up the remaining plates. "So," Kairi began. "What's your favorite color?"

"Mines orange ya." Wakka said, placing the dish into the sink.

"I wasn't asking you, you dork." Kairi said, bonking Wakka over the head lightly.

I laughed. "It's blue…and red.…I think…." The last bit was said more to myself then to anyone else. I had never really thought about a favorite color before. In fact, I think this is the first time someone's ever asked me what mine was.

Blinking at the arm that was suddenly slung over my shoulder, I found myself staring into blue eyes. I jumped back. God, why does he always have to do that!

"Mines green."

Looking over at Riku, I smiled. "Hey Riku, what's you're favorite color?"

Riku looked up for a moment, pondering slightly. "I think my new favorite color is blue…" He smiled, and turned back to washing the dishes.

Suddenly, I found myself blushing.

"So Sora, you're going to be living with us right?" Kairi asked, bouncing on the balls of her feet and fiddling with a piece of auburn hair that had slipped out of the bun she wore.

I nodded.

"You bet he is." Cloud replied, re-entering the room (when the hell did he leave!) and untied the apron from around his waist and flung it in Wakka's direction. An exclamation of 'hey!' flew from his lips as the fluffy article hit him in the face. "He's starting school with you guys on Monday."

Tidus pumped his fist into the air. "SWEET!"

"What are you so happy about ya? We're talking about school here."

Realization dawned on his face. "Noooooooooooooo! You can't let Sora go through the torture, it's cruel. You would willingly send poor naïve Sora to that prison! Better yet, you would willingly send poor little ol' me to it!"

"Yes."

"You are a cruel, cruel man."

"So I have been told countless times."

"And here I just thought it was an act, evil man…."
