-o-x-Chapter 10-x-o-

Kairi lay awake that night, mulling over all the things that had happened recently. What Sora had told her about his sexuality stood out like a black spot on an exceptionally clean, white wall.

She supposed that she has always suspected it but she had never really thought about it properly, so it was still a big shock.

The red-head snuggled down into the warm pillows, humming a little tune in her head. She hoped it wouldn't change much about their relationship. If anything, it would bring them closer because they could do all sorts of things that they couldn't do before without it being embarrassing for Sora.

She could hear the brunette muttering something. She turned over to look at him. His chest was rising and falling steadily and his breathing was deep so he was almost definitely asleep. But he was also definitely talking; even if it was incoherent.

Kairi had to stifle a laugh as the brunette rolled over with a small frown on his face and said something along the lines of 'go away, you idiot'.

She suddenly remembered a program she had seen on the TV about people being able to have conversations with someone in their sleep but not remembering them in the morning.

"Sora?" she said tentatively, wondering if he would answer.

"Yeah?" came the reply from a sleepy Sora.

Kairi's eyes widened and had to pinch her nose to stop herself from laughing. Then she realised that she could probably get anything out of him right now and she grinned wickedly: she could have some fun with this. He would do anything to get her to shut up when he was tired.

"So, Sora, now that you've 'come out of the closet' to me, is there anyone that has caught your eye?"

She really hoped he would answer her. Though she felt a bit mean asking him in a way that he wouldn't really have any control over, but he wouldn't tell her consciously. And desperate times call for desperate measures.

"Kairi… Don't wanna talk now. M'tired…" he whined, clutching his pillow and frowning slightly. He was half-awake, which disappointed Kairi slightly, the thought of talking to someone in their asleep was much more exciting.

"Come on, Sora. Friends tell each other everything." She resorted to the guilt-trip; it always worked, "Don't you want to be my friend anymore? You hate me don't you?"

He groaned, tired. "Don't be silly."

Kairi smiled widely, "Well, if I guess his name will you tell me if I am right?"

Sora mumbled into his pillow and the red-head decided that to take it as a yes.

"Yay! Okay, um…" she paused as she tired to make a mental list of boys Sora knew, "Okay, is it… Tidus?"

Sora opened his eyes and gave Kairi a disbelieving look, "Yeah, I really fancy Tidus. Not."

Kairi shrugged, "It was the first name that came into my head!" she continued down the list, mentally crossing each person off, becoming more and more confused as she went on and Sora shook his head each time.

"Um, how about Wakka?" she asked, desperately trying to think of more names.

Sora rolled his eyes, "Now you're just being stupid." He turned over so Kairi was now staring at his back.

Kairi frowned, and then remember one name she hadn't mentioned. She bit her lip, hesitating. She wasn't really sure if it was a question she wanted answering.

"I-It's not… Riku, is it?" she asked tentatively, waiting for his answer with baited-breath.

Sora remained silent, which meant one of two things: he's fallen asleep or it was true.

"Oh my god…" she half whispered, hardly daring to believe it, "It is, isn't it, Sora? It all makes sense… you've been avoiding me because you were upset because I am dating him and you were avoiding Riku because you like him!"

She heard the brunette sigh and she knew that she was right.

"Sora… Why didn't you tell me? I would never had said yes when he asked me to go out with him if I had known."

Sora turned to look at her worry plastered across his pale face, "I'm sorry… I thought you would hate me for it."

Kairi's face softened, "Why would I hate you? You're my best friend! I could never hate you."

Sora blinked and half-smiled, "So, you're not mad at me?"

Kairi rolled her eyes, "No! In fact, I'm going to help you get together with him."

Sora started at her, dumbfounded.

"Yeah, okay here's the plan, "she said, nodding to herself, "I'll break up with him - saying that err… he's too much of a friend or something. Then you, Sora, will have to- "

"Kairi! You really don't have to do this… I- it- it'll blow over, I'm sure."

Kairi waved a hand at him to silence him, "Sora - shut up. Right... I'll dump Riku and we are going to get you together with him. Got it?"

Sora nodded, not daring to disagree.

"Great! Well, listen carefully now Sora, this is what we are going to do…"

.o.O.o.

Axel smirked as he opened the door to see a drenched and grumbling Demyx. He closed the door as the blonde ran inside and stood in front of the radiator.

"Why does it always have to rain when I decide to walk but it never rains when I drive? Oh no, let's make it rain because silly old Demyx thought he might enjoy a nice walk to see his good friend Axel who will have a good laugh at him when he turns up completely soaked through and tries to dry himself off by the- is this thing even on?" The blonde stopped talking abruptly and began fiddling with the control.

Axel shook his head, "Nope. I'm not cold because I wasn't stupid enough to go out in the rain."

Demyx pouted and plucked at his wet t-shirt, "Axel…" he said, grinning mischievously, "Can I borrow some dry clothes?"

The red-head raised his eyebrows and shrugged slightly, "Sure. Help yourself." He walked into the sitting room where Marluxia was watching the television screen tearfully.

Axel frowned at the film. It was an old back and white one and it showed a woman declaring her undying love to some guy in army uniform at a train station.

The pink-haired boy burst into noisy tears as the man got on to the train and it pulled out of the platform.

"Uh, Marly?" Axel said, shaking his head in disbelief, "You do know it's only a movie, right? You don't have to cry about it."

Marluxia shot him a sharp glare, "It was a very emotional scene, alright? He's going to go and fight in a war and he dies so they never get to see each other again!" he blew his nose loudly and Axel rolled his eyes.

"God. You get way too worked up…" he muttered, laughing as Marluxia threw a cushion at him and walked out of the room, smacking into a very surprised Demyx on his way out.

"He was watching that film again, wasn't he." The blonde stated, shaking his head sadly.

Axel smirked and laid down on the sofa, gesturing for Demyx to come over with a jerk of his chin.

Demyx obliged and sat down with his legs curled up underneath him.

"Axey, will you tell me who it is yet?" he asked, fluttering his eyelashes pleadingly at the red-head who smirked.

"Tell you who what is, Dem?" he said innocently, blinking at the blonde.

"Axey, come on. Every year you find someone and have a thing with them. And don't even try to use Larxene as an excuse because I know you only went along with her because you didn't want to hurt her feelings. Or you were scared of her. Whatever."

Axel smirked again, "I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about."

Demyx pouted, "Fine. But I'll get it out of you eventually." He muttered, crossing his arms and sulking.

The red-head rolled his eyes, "Aww… C'mon Dem. Don't go all sappy on me." He poked his with a foot, which Demyx pointedly ignored. Then he began tickling him and he broke down, unable to keep himself from laughing.

"Alright! Stop! Stoooop!"

Axel grinned and patted him on the head gently.

Author's Note: Bah. So, how was it? Seriously, let me know. I really want to know.

Anyway, i keep getting people saying things like "I just wish the chapters were longer" or "These chapters are kinda short, aren't they?" and i really agree with you. And i'm sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. But, hey, it's my style i guess. (actually, that's what lamie told me to say, but whatever.)

Look at the little purple button on the left hand side of the screen. Please press it (:
