Chapter 3: Exhibit O

Once the lights subsided, Sora found himself on the training grounds of the temporally sequestered forest again, hearing the sounds of a loud bell being rang rather far up ahead.

"I guess I showed up in the middle of their training again," the guardian of light deduced. Setting down the suitcases, he figured, "Might be best to wait here."

"Right, right, right—but let's talk about that Olette-girl for just a sec," said the Master, tone sounding devious. "Yeah, just wanna make sure—you know she's interested in you, right?"

"Uhhh…what d'ya mean, 'interested'?" Sora played dumb on hardcore mode.

"As far as I could tell, she one hundred percent wanted you to stay longer. And I know you've got an obligation to the first girl, but logically speaking, two is greater than one."

Sora scoffed. "Okay, I read you, but I'm gonna focus on the one girl for right now. And hopefully, for a long time, too."

While Sora walked toward the source of the ringing bell and upbeat music, the Master lagged behind, uttering, "Hm…I like this kid." Then, he paced after him, calling, "Hey, I thought you wanted to wait here?"

"I did, but now I'm kinda curious to see what they're doing…"

Walking a trail, Sora and the Master approached the source of the commotion, nearing the edge of a clearing where they presumed boot camp drills were being run in kind. Hiding behind a tree, the non-fictitious visitor took note of the drills being run. Upon closer inspection, they deduced Kairi and Lea were running an actual pacer test, with Merlin rooting them on from the sidelines. He even had a boombox on full blast, and from the sound of it, the pacer was at level forty four.

And that's when Sora and the Master noticed Kairi was just walking, most likely out of fatigue and a little rebelliousness. Axel, on the other hand, was passed out on the grass.

"Oh, come on, you two!" Merlin complained. "You're not even trying anymore!"

Kairi admitted, "I've never been a strong runner."

Axel gasped, "Yeah, I got pretty used to portalling everywhere, so…"

The old wizard powered off the boombox, sighing as he said, "I guess that's enough for our first day of training. Still, we should conclude with a round of meditation."

Hearing something odd, Sora repeated, "'First day'?"

The hidden Master pondered, "That doesn't seem right."

"Wait—someone's here!" Merlin exclaimed. "I can sense their energy!"

Axel pointed out, "I also see Sora trying to hide behind that tree. Do you think it's connected?"

"Sora?" Kairi called.

"Sora?!" the wizard gasped. "You're back already?!"

With no reason to hide, Sora stepped out and said, "Yeah, I am—how long has it been?"

Kairi reported, "You left not too long ago."

"It hasn't even been an hour," said Axel. "What, did you leave and come right back?"

"No. I definitely went to Yen Sid's. The whole trip took about forty five minutes…"

Gasping harder than ever before, Merlin shrieked, "What!? That could only mean the temporal seal is no longer in effect!"

"Oh, man. That's crazy."

And then it became awkwardly silent. Kairi, Merlin, and Axel all stared at Sora, and they appeared seconds away from a decisive conclusion.

"What? It's not my fault!"

Merlin fired back, "Well, who else could've caused this?!"

Kairi pointed out, "Hey, at least we're done for the day, right?"

-X-

After the sun had gone down, an extreme amount of focus was placed on everyone's new phones. Kairi and Lea both received one each, and Sora made the mistake—or perhaps seven dimensional chess move—of letting his favorite princess go through his phone unsupervised.

"You took a picture with Olette? Didn't you just get this phone?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I ran into her on the way back. She knows a lot about phones and stuff."

Checking his list of contacts, Kairi took adequate note of, "And you even have her number saved."

"Yeah, I missed out on getting Hayner's and Pence's. I was kind of in a hurry." Sora drummed his fingers on the picnic table. "Because of the time-magic thing, but…I guess it was broken, anyway, because of…me…"

Axel came barreling back to the picnic table, yelling, "Look! Look! Look! I just took a picture and dog ears appeared! So, who's Olette?"

"A girl Roxas knows from his data life," Sora replied.

"She was there when you kidnapped me," Kairi added.

"Oh. Right. Sheesh, uh… Sorry about that—"

"I know, Lea."

"Again, I was in a real tight jam—"

"It's okay. It's definitely okay, Lea. But I don't know how I feel about Sora chatting it up with her."

Curious, Axel asked, "Chatting it up with who?"

"Olette, Lea," Kairi answered, patience running thin.

"Oh, uhh…right."

"Anyway—so, were you flirting with her?"

Ambiguously ignorant, Sora admitted, "I'm actually not sure what 'flirting' means."

"Well, what do you think it means?"

"Talking…laughing…maybe with no one else around?"

"Well, is that what you did?"

"Yes."

"Ugh…"

Axel took a step back from all that, then returning for a selfie with Sora and Kairi, both of whom reflected inner turmoil with bunny ears.

-X-

Secretly watching Riku and Mickey skirmish with Heartless, Ansem shook his head and vanished through a Corridor of Darkness. He reappeared in a different section of the dark realm, laying low to observe Aqua and the old scholar waiting on the beach. Ansem shook his head again, muttering, "It must be the boy."

-X-

Olette finished her homework, likely in record time, so the next activity solely involved tapping and swiping away on her phone. She glanced at all the new stories, scrolled through the most recent posts, and even scanned her notifications for Kupo Plus.

Nothing new there, so she flipped it over to the Snapchat-clone, checking out others' stories before glancing at who watched her own. She still didn't see the name she wanted, then supposing it wasn't worth stressing over. Nevertheless, stress relief came in the form of ogling the selfie of her and Sora—she'd waited long enough to ogle.

-X-

Waving his hands around in majestic fashion, Merlin found himself becoming more and more frustrated when his enchantment failed to enchant. Rubbing his temples, he uttered, "Inconceivable… It must be that dastardly x-blade of his."

Sitting on a barstool within the cottage, Axel brought up, "You know they're banging, right?"

Merlin grumbled back, "Please stop bringing that to my attention, Lea."

"I just think it might be concerning, both of them being young, stupid, and immature, and whatnot."

The invisible master was also lounging around in the cottage, speaking what no one else could hear, "So, do you guys have an extra bed, or what's the situation?"

Axel then recalled, "Didn't Sora say that Master-guy was gonna wait here with us? You think he's still in this room?"

Merlin shrugged. "I have no way of knowing that."

Axel stood up, held up his hand, and said, "Hey, Master-guy! Give me a high five if you're still here!"

The invisible coat-master just sat there, shaking his head.

Axel joked, "Maybe he went to go 'check on' Sora and Kairi?"

"This is hell," said the Master.

Meanwhile, outside the cottage, night was permitted to fall on the forested landscape, and relatively far away, Sora and Kairi were just discovering the wonderful world of "makeup sex".

As they rested, all laid up with each other on a blanket they brought, Sora realized a key fact:

"The x-blade didn't upgrade."

Kairi asked, "Are you sure we did it right?"

"We did the same thing as last time. At least, I don't think we skipped any steps."

"Well…it was still pretty amazing."

"Hm, yeah—"

Ding. Someone's phone just received a notification.

"I think that was mine," said the amazing lad. Pulling up his phone, he allowed both himself and Kairi to read the notification, and he sort of wished he kept that bad boy on silent.

"Your best friend just updated her story," Kairi alerted.

"What? That's crazy…"

She pressed, "Well? Go check it out."

"I mean, it's not that big of a deal."

"I agree, so check it out."

Sora eventually acquiesced. Opening up the Snapchat-clone, known simply as Capchat, he presented to both himself and Kairi the majesty of Olette's story update.

She was just making a dumb face, and Sora chuckled carefully. Kairi, meanwhile, made the astute observation, "It's kinda cute when she does that."

"I guess," Sora replied, then noticing there were more parts to Olette's story. The next thing to be deeply analyzed was a side-sweeping view of expensive clothes in a store window, accompanied by the caption, "Someone spoil me."

Sora just shrugged, letting the story play its next part, which was apparently the one Olette just uploaded. Surprise, surprise. It was her making another dumb face, except with colorful hearts added in the frame.

Sora quickly closed that story, and Kairi asked, "Don't you like it when she crosses her eyes?"

"It's…nothing special," he said.

"How is this not special?"

And there, lying with him on the blanket they brought, Kairi mimicked Olette's face, crossing both eyes and sticking her tongue out.

The young guardian rolled his eyes in an effort to disguise his instant arousal. He replied, "Hey, I like the way you do it, but I hear that's pretty dangerous."

Uncrossing her eyes, Kairi asked, "You think my eyes will get stuck like that?"

"Actually, no. I saw someone do that for too long, and he turned right into a Heartless."

Thoroughly unimpressed with that joke, the princess stated, "Yeah, I'm sure you were speechless." After a lighthearted lull, she proposed, "You should text Olette."

No way he heard that correctly. "Did you say 'text Olette'?"

"Yeah. Text her. See what she's doing."

"Uh…I mean, you could text her. Sounds like you really wanna know." Sora hoped that was enough to dodge whatever this was leading to.

"What, you don't wanna know?"

"Nah, not really."

"Just say, 'Hey,'".

"I'm not sure why I need to say that."

"I just want to see how you two talk."

"We talk like normal people. It's not that exciting."

"I'm not looking for excitement. Just…never mind."

Sora glanced down at the girl laying on him, and then at the phone in his free hand, and he found that previous exchange beyond intriguing. Kairi had wanted to see Olette's story, and then wanted Sora to contact her immediately after that story-viewing. The youngster was no expert on polyamorous behavior, but he was quite certain Kairi desired to see him engage with Olette, at the very least, flirtatiously.

Earlier, she made no qualms with expressing her discomfort around the lone interaction he'd had with the polite brunette. She didn't outright say she hated their flirting, but she clearly had a bone to pick. Yet, all that seemed to go away when she inexplicably became horny. It got pretty wild; Sora wasn't even sure if they ventured far enough away from the cottage—they truly went at it loud and proud a few minutes ago.

Perhaps it was his sense of adventure, or it could have been the unspoken yet very tangible connection between Olette's mingling and Kairi's libido, but whatever the cause was, Sora opened up his phone, brought up his messages, and asked, "You really think I should just say 'hey'?"

Kairi asked in suspense, "You're really gonna do it?"

"I guess so—"

"Text her on Capchat. And don't just say 'hey', tell her she looked cute."

"Yeahhh—that's a little too direct for me."

"Well, find some way to compliment her."

Opening up Capchat, Sora went to the messages tab, tapped her name, and suggested, "How about… 'Awesome faces. Really cool.'"

"You sound sarcastic."

"I kind of am—"

"Tell her what you liked about her face. You know, without sounding creepy."

"Uhhh…how about this…"

Sora typed, They should put that face on a billboard.

Kairi giggled. "That'll pass."

"All right. I'm gonna hit send."

"Send it."

"Sending it now."

He sent that. Thus, they began to wait. Of course, an ever so excited Kairi decided to sum up the situation in simple terms, "I can't believe I'm about to watch you flirt."

"I do not understand why you like this." Sora had something else he wanted to say, but his brainpower was siphoned the moment his lover re-mounted his pelvis and started kissing his neck. While attempting to recall the forgotten argument, he made good use of his hands and took full advantage of the fact that they had been laying there buck-ass-naked the whole time.

-X-

Yes, Olette was in the middle of touching herself when she received the notification of a lifetime. She saw it immediately, seeing as how she was using her phone's internet browser to assist with the self-care.

She needed to open up Capchat to view Sora's message, and she found it easy to stop what she was doing to indulge him. Utilizing an expert-level tactic, she half-swiped to partially view the chat screen, that way it wouldn't tell Sora she'd read it just yet. Feeling some level of long-awaited triumph, the book-smart diva giggled at his message, then quickly thinking of something to respond with.

-X-

While extremely close to penetrating yet again, Sora and Kairi heard the sound of his phone notifying him. Olette had responded.

Needlessly, the redheaded commanded, "Read it."

Opening up their chat, the socially-winning hero read it out loud, "'Lmao really'. What, does she think I'm lying?"

"Is that what you're going to say?" Kairi asked.

"No, I'll just say, 'Absolutely'."

"That's it?"

"Yep."

"Ask her what she's doing, too."

"Good idea…"

"No, Sora, just type 'W-Y-D'."

"Right."

After sending the message, he saw Olette's bitmoji peek at him, then going into a thinking animation before a reply was quickly sent. It read, Just laying down. Wbu

"Same," Sora said while he typed that. Then, he asked, "Should I mention you're with me?"

"No, no, no—just say you're tired, or something."

"O-kay… 'and I'm super beat.' Send."

-X-

Olette took a moment to keep things slow on her end, as eagerness should always be well-hidden. Since her bottoms were still down by her ankles, she resumed her previous activity with a little extra vigor. Too lazy to switch back to the fuck-flick on her internet browser, she settled for closing her eyes and going wild in her locked bedroom. Cranking up the stereo seemed like a good idea, but even still, she was far too lazy.

Gradually, she came to a rest, then donning a suspicious look. She opened up the chat-log with Sora and carefully worded her next question.

-X-

"She asked if you were tired, too," Sora reported with an inquisitive tone.

"She knows you're with me?" Kairi questioned.

"Yeah. I kinda told her I'd be with you after that selfie we took."

"Aw—why didn't you mention that earlier? I probably wouldn't have been so mad."

Sora gave a serious deadpan just then. "I hope you realize none of this makes any sense to me."

"This changes so much. I honestly don't know what you should tell her, now."

Kairi's lack of agency caused Sora to admit, "And I honestly don't know what the end goal is, here. Are we just trying to flirt or are we taking it further?"

"By further, do you mean…sex with her?"

"What else could I mean, Kairi?"

The redhead pondered for a moment before saying, "It's up to you."

"Are you serious…"

"Hurry up and say something. Don't leave her on seen."

"All right. Here goes nothing." He typed it quickly and hit send.

Surprised, the princess demanded, "What did you say?"

"I said, 'Kairi likes it when we flirt'."

-X-

"That…doesn't answer my question—wait, what?"

-X-

"She responded pretty quickly," Sora noted. He typed his response, which clarified that Kairi did indeed like it when he and Olette flirted.

After receiving another message, Sora chuckled and said, "Now, she's trying to downplay that we ever flirted."

Kairi criticized him, "Probably because you're being so dumb! Wait, what are you typing now?"

Sora hit send. "Look."

He'd said, I think Kairi's shy around you

"S-Sora—you're insane!"

"I think it's working. She's typing again."

"…Wait, so does this mean you're trying to fuck Olette?"

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

Click, another message.

"Oh, wow," Sora gasped. "She says you're way prettier than her." Click, another message appeared after that one. "Aw. And you've got me, she says."

Kairi chastised him, "You made her feel down. Give me that—!"

"Hey—!"

"I gotta tell her how special she is."

Sora rejected that bright idea, "I don't think that's necessary."

"Wait…you're right! I'll just tell her, 'Kairi wants nudes'."

"Um. Do you really?"

"Yep—"

"Now you're insane."

"Send—!"

"What?!"

-X-

Scoffing at the secondhand request, Olette typed in her doubtfulness, I bet you're not even with her, you liar. She added a tongue-sticking-out emoji to emphasize her doubt, though she smiled, feeling somewhat flattered by the dopiness of it all.

Her shorts were halfway pulled up, and that made her realize how easy it would be to acquiesce to the demand of naked pictures. Her tank top was also easily removable, but one thing at a time.

She then thought about the potentially high level of truthfulness to this situation. Sora was barely witty on his own, and the chances of him being clever enough to use Kairi in this sort of request were fairly slim. Lying like this didn't feel like Sora, though she hardly knew him. Hopefully, his reply would clear up the confusion. Just as soon as he'd reply.

Tantalized by the suspense, Olette muttered, "What's taking so long—?"

Then, a few videos entered the chat, like three of them. Curious, Olette opened the first one, gasping at the sight of Kairi smiling at the camera in some dark landscape. She said:

"Sora is not a liar. And by the way, he wants nudes, too."

Sora groaned from behind the camera, and that made Olette laugh out loud. Then, she noticed an acute lack of clothing on either Kairi or Sora, especially when Sora swept the view downward in the direction Kairi was slinking.

"Oh, my god…" Olette was firmly taken aback by the shadowy image of Sora's ding-a-ling currently being stroked by Kairi's hands.

In the video, she heard Sora's equally stunned voice ask, "You're doing this now?!"

"Looks like it," Kairi replied, then serving his Key-bone between either breast.

Olette uttered, "Holy shit…"

She witnessed a hard dick being subjected to royalty, which caused the on-camera delinquent to moan and the viewing academic to strum her own personal instrument. That video ended, and the next one picked up where it left off; Olette found much to love as Kairi initiated a ride that blew the minds of everyone involved.

The next and last video proceeded with Kairi eventually switching to reverse, and since that one was only twenty seconds, Olette felt as if she'd been left on a cliffhanger.

-X-

"Okay, we're both insane," Sora stated as fact, watching Kairi bring the hustle down to a torturously grinding halt.

"That should be nothing new," she said. "Also, maybe you need a break. Twice today is more than enough fun, don't you think?"

"I-I can't make that decision right now." Indeed, he was still in. But suddenly, he received another notification.

Inspecting the chat log, he determined, "I think she sent us a video right back."

"Let's see!"

The video first showed Olette's face, which showed acute signs of one tremendously high horny-power level as she said, "You two…are the definition of crazy." And for some unknown reason, she punctuated that sentence with moaning.

Right afterward, the camera revealed that reason, panning downward for a view of Olette performing an all-star routine on herself. Though it was only one video, it was still a full minute of her moaning and writhing against two fingers then four within her dimly lit bedroom.

And so, Sora and Kairi found more inspiration to contradict the latter's suggestion from a minute ago, and thankfully, Sora still had the courtesy to give Olette a positive reply, though he was multitasking; so, he definitely misspelled 'what' in 'what a pro'.
