People. Although I did not have the intention of doing so today, I ended up reading angst after angst after angst and I'm like I HATE ANGST and then my sis and I watched a love story where the dude died and im like Well. That's a sign its time to update CoB then! Lol AND

I'll have you know. This chapter SHOULD be long, (here we go, lol) AND based on my plans, will be followed by ONE more chapter. Unless I gain the courage to lemon it up. But I don't know, you'll have to talk to me about that one.

Let's do this.

Coin Operated Boy…

I want it

I want you

I want a coin operated boy.

"Well that was an….intersting date," Roxas allowed as he shut the door behind Riku upon entering Riku's apartment.

"I'm sorry already," Riku replied as he flopped down on the couch, apologizing for the hundredth time.

"Don't worry about it, it isn't like I was called the wrong name by my ex or anything," Roxas said pointedly, subtlety lashing Riku with the unkind barb. "Who's Sora anyway?"

Riku winced. "My…roommate."

Roxas' eyes narrowed before widening in realization. "What did you two fight about?"

"…You."

"I see…I take it Sora thought that there was something going on between you two?"

Riku hesitated. "You could say that." He stood to approach Roxas and enfold him in an embrace. "But he's gone right? I still have you…"

Roxas smiled warmly. "Thanks for that." He kissed him on the cheek. "But I know that I will feel better once I've had a long, hot shower," he winked. "Feel free to join me."

Riku smiled until Roxas left the room. He fell back onto the couch, all happy pretences disappearing.

"But he's gone right? I still have you…" Riku couldn't help but feel like that had been directed at the wrong person. He sighed. I've tried to ignore it…this feeling just won't go away. I have to fix this. But how? Who could possibly help--?

"Axel," he whispered.

"Yeeess?" a smug red-head garbed in pink, now sitting beside him on the couch, replied smartly.

Riku jumped. "I didn't know you could do that!"

"I can do a lot of things," Axel replied, winking.

Riku cleared his throat. "I want Sora back."

Axel 'tsked' at him. "Can't do that, Riku. I told you you wouldn't be able to get him back, didn't I?"

Riku's eyes looked panicked. "But I was wrong! Don't you realize us humans make mistakes?"

"Certainly," Axel replied nonchalantly, "which is why I double-checked with you before I took him. I'm sorry Riku, you can't get him back that way."

"What way can--?"

"What the hell?" Roxas said as he returned to the living room, drying off his hair with a towel. "When did the fairy in drag get here?"

"Goodbye Riku," Axel said firmly, before winking at Roxas. "Hey handsome!" he called before disappearing in a ball of pink light.

Roxas stared for a moment. "…Do I want to know what the fuck that was about?"

Riku blew air out of his cheeks. "Let's go for a walk."

------------((why yes, I consider this long lol))-------

"You see, Roxas…The trouble with Sora was…Ugh, I don't know how to start," Riku complained as they walked down his street.

"Just spit it out," Roxas replied, no-nonsense.

"Sora wasn't human," Riku replied, speedily continuing on in his story after he noticed the incredulous look Roxas gave him, "he existed through quarters, and he didn't really act human at first, but then he started to be more and more realistic, and we kind of became an item, but I told him we were friends, and then I met you so of course—"

Roxas cut him off. "Do you love him?"

Riku winced. "…Yes."

"That's all I need to know." He turned away, face expressionless.

"I'm sorry Roxas," Riku said, truly upset that he hurt his feelings.

Roxas turned and smiled. "Don't worry about it. Do what your heart wants." He smiled encouragingly. "And hey, next time you see that redhead…? Give him my number. I need a new adventure."

Riku laughed and nodded while he watched Roxas walk away. He sighed as he turned to head back to his empty apartment.

How can I do what my heart wants when I'll never see him again?

----------((To be continued…))-----------
