Well helllllo there. I'm sorry for my lack in writing for this, I've been really busy, but I promise to put up more chapters and hopefully finish this by the end of June! Yay! So here's the next chapter!
Chapter 10:
Sora's POV:
My first period class was as horrible as ever, but I had a better time ignoring Greg and avoiding Mr. Vexen's creepy gaze. During Social studies, Luxord offered me a bottle of Vodka and took another out and started drinking it during class, which got him suspended again.
"What do I care, huh luv? Thas ri', I don't give a fuck wha' you think. Cos, I'm drunk and I refuse to be sober!" he exclaimed, flailing his arms all over the place as some teachers dragged him out of school. Demyx eyed me and made what I assumed was his, "Luxord's drunk face" and burst into fits of giggles.
"So, Sora. What are your plans for this afternoon?" Demyx asked with a sly look on his face.
"B-band p-p-pract-tice, r-right?" Demyx cackled evilly and gave me a look that had "insane psycho-killer" written all over it.
"Oh no, you are coming over to my house and boy, we are going to gossip! I've also invited Roxas because you guys are absolutely fine with your dance routines, and they just have to work with Kairi and Namine for the song." Demyx took a breath after speaking so fast I could hardly understand him.
"uh, o-okay." And I walked to Geometry. Riku was sitting down in his seat, but I noticed that Axel had his foot cocked out in my path to get to my seat. I glared at him, but Axel only smiled and mouthed, "It's for your own good." I frowned and very obviously stepped over his foot. But, alas. That was where I made a mistake, for he simply cocked his foot higher and as I went to lift my second foot over it, I tripped and landed in Riku's lap, once again, in a very embarrassing tangled mess.
I turned and fell to the ground on my butt, glaring at Axel. Roxas slapped him on the back of the head, but had a smile plastered to his face. I turned around to see that Riku, to, was trying to contain a smile from erupting on his face. I stood up and sat back down in my seat very straight. I didn't look at any of them. For I was afraid that if I did my face would become as red as a fresh tomato.
"All right Class, today we shall be working on…" and I ignored the rest of what Mr. Xemnas said.
Riku's POV:
I couldn't help but smile as Sora fell flat on his face. It was so adorable how he had just gotten up and acted like nothing happened. I spent the rest of class eyeing him from the corner of my eye.
After school, I gathered all of the band members, that is, except for Luxord, who was suspended again, and Demyx, Roxas and Sora. Nobody seemed to know where any of them had gone. So Xigbar used his recorded version of Like a G6. When Kairi heard what song she was supposed to be singing, she nearly died.
"WHAT? You want me to sing THAT song, of any you could have chosen? Are you crazy? Nobody even knows what that song's about!" Namine laughed and put a hand on her shoulder, to which Kairi responded with a deep blush.
"Don't worry, it's not that bad." So we started the recording. And we sang. And I nearly died because of how good it sounded. Kairi's voice sounded perfect with Namine's. The two completely different voices (Namine was more of a breathy, chorus singer while Kairi had a stronger, tighter voice.) sounded oddly sexy together. When we were done rehearsing, Namine and Kairi were cracking up. They were laughing hysterically. When I tried to ask them what was so funny, Kairi just looked at me with tears in her eyes and bellowed over with laughter. I shook my head and left the room smiling. The talent show was in two days, and I couldn't be happier with how everything had turned out.
Sora's POV:
Demyx was horrible. He was a terrible human being who deserved to be locked up in an insane asylum.
"So, Sora. Give me all the juicy, disgusting details!" I frowned at him as my cheeks started to flare.
"Th-that's none of yo-your business, D-Demyx." Roxas cackled and grinned evilly at me.
"He's not the only one who wants to know, Sora-poo." I glared at him as he started to shuffle over to me making kissy noises.
"Oh, you're not off the hook either, Roxas. I want to know what's going on with you and Axel to!" Roxas blushed a deeper red than I thought was possible and crossed his arms against his chest.
"Oh yeah? What about you and Xigbar? Hm? What's going on with you two?" Demyx took a deep breath and sighed.
"Weeeeell, if you reeeeeeeeeeeeeally want to knoooooooow…" Roxas and I nodded eagerly, and Demyx didn't need any more enthusiasm. He burst into all the gruesome, disgusting, unnecessary details that didn't need to be known. Roxas poked me in the arm and motioned to the window, our escape route. I nodded my head and slowly started to move towards the window, Roxas following me close behind. I grinned with success as we flew out the window and landed cleanly on our feet.
"Run!" Roxas screamed, and I ran. Arms flailing about in the process.
"Whoa. That was a close one." I nodded my head as we started to slow. I looked around to see where we were, and I recognized Roxas' house.
"H-hey. I di-didn't kn-know you lived s-s-so close t-to Dem-Demyx." Roxas rolled his eyes.
"Unfortunately. Want to come inside?" I nodded my head and we headed in.
It was sort of awkward. We didn't really have anything to talk about, so I left and headed home. When I got there, my mom was waiting with her arms open and tears in her eyes.
"M-mom! What's wr-wrong?" I asked alarmed.
"I'm sorry honey. It's just….It's that day…" My face fell and grief over took me. I went up to my room and sat, not thinking about anything except that one stupid, horrible day that was branded into my memory, never to be washed away.
Sebastian (Sora's Dad)'s POV:
I took a second look at the piece of paper in my hands. "666 Memory Lane" It was the correct address, I was certain. I walked up to the house and knocked briskly on the front door. At first there was no reply, but after awhile, I heard the clicking of locks. A man of tall stature with long, bright-red hair, green eyes covered with feminine-looking glasses, and a sour frown answered the door. For a moment I was stunned, he looked so familiar. But then the man smiled, and a jaw full of pointy teeth reminded me of who he was immediately. The man opened the door and attacked me with a bone-crushing hug.
"Oh, Basse! It has been soooooooooooo long! How have you been? Oh, where are my manners? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Please, do come in! Do, come in!" Grell Sutcliff stood aside to let me in. I cleared my throat and carefully walked into the barren house.
I was puzzled with the lack of color the house contained. In high school, Grell had such an artistic voice. I could never imagine him living in a house as black and white as this one was.
"So, um, Grell. What have you been up to lately?" Grell sighed with pleasure as he sunk into a comfy-looking white love seat and handed me a cup of tea. I took it graciously.
"Well, I've taken to the business of pathology. I quite like it. How about you?" I smiled serenely.
"I am in the Home management business." Grell smiled politely, though I could tell he was slightly disappointed.
"So, what brings you to my oh-so humble home?" I sighed and closed my eyes.
"It appears that our sons are in a bit of a relationship. And I wanted to do a back-up check to make sure my son wasn't dating some thug punk or something. But I can see that he must be nothing of the sort if he has any of your DNA in him, Grell." It might have been my imagination, but I thought I might've seen a slight blush speckle over Grell's cheeks.
"Oh, well. I see. I can assure you that if my son harms your son in anyway, I will certainly knock the living daylights out of him." I smiled. I had forgotten all about Grell. He was such a kind, gentle person. He wouldn't harm a hair on anything. Maybe that is why I had fallen in love with him so long ago…
A/N: DRAMATIC PAUSE AND FLASH BACK!
"Hey! Sebastian!" I turned and saw a flash of red hair. My heart tightened in my chest. What had I done? Why had I ever done it?
"Get away from me Grell. I don't wish to associate myself with the likes of you." I tried not to look at the pained expression that fell across his face.
"But…I thought…" He said helplessly. My heart squeezed even harder. I could feel my eyes starting to tear up, but I couldn't not in front of all these people.
"Well you thought wrong." I said icily. Grell stared at me, mouth hanging open. His eyes started to over fill and a single tear overflowed down his cheek. I turned away, the look on his face stabbing a knife into my heart.
Please understand Grell, why I have to do this. Please. I'll find you, I promise.
A/N: AND NOW BACK TO THE PRESEANT!
I shifted uncomfortably. I had forgotten about that as well. Grell smiled empathetically.
"I'm sorry." I stared up at him with shock.
"Sorry? Whatever for?" Grell sighed sadly and stared at the ground.
"For whatever I did to you back in high school. You looked so pained and sad. So I am terribly sorry." I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and what I did was completely reckless and stupid and beside myself, but I didn't care because it felt right.
I jumped out of my seat, spilling tea onto the spotless white floor and pulled Grell's face close to my own.
"Don't you dare ever apologize for that. I was so wrong for what I did to you Grell, and I am so, so, so sorry." I whispered, tears starting to build in my eyes. Grell stared at me with shock. His eyes were wide, but slowly a smile started to creep onto his face. I felt a tear fall down my cheek and I brushed it away angrily. I started to pull away, regretting what I had done. It was so stupid. How could I assume he was even still gay? Maybe for him it was just a phase. I mean, he did have a son.
Grell grabbed me and pulled me onto him, crushing his lips against mine. I remembered that kiss, those passionate kisses that lasted all night long. How could I have ever forgotten how good his teeth felt against my tongue, so dangerous? Grell pulled away for a moment.
"Don't ever do that again." And then he kissed me again. I grinned against his lips.
Then again, I had a son to…
