Ansem The Wise Preparatory Boarding School

Chapter Three- Next Time, Take the Elevator

"Wow!" Sora exclaimed from next to him as Cloud drove the U-Haul through the tall intricate wrought iron gate, a matching fence stretching as far as the eye can see in either directions. The grounds were beautiful, the grass lush and green. Tree's ripe with wisdom lined the drive.

In front of them stood an extraordinary building adorned with Gargoyles and Tourette's, giving it to impression of a castle rather than a school. It gave one the feeling of being in the presence of greatness.

"So that's Ansem Hall, the main building on campus. Most of your classes will be there, my office is also located inside on the third floor in the west wing. The rest of the administrators are located there as well." Cloud pointed at the gargantuan structure.

Roxas wasn't going to let it show, but he too was in awe of this place. It looked like something out of a movie, or maybe out of a dream. He couldn't believe we was going to live here. He felt like he wasn't worthy of walking on these grounds. Then he frowned and remembered that that's exactly what pompous rich people want him to feel like.

Cloud veered left and started to drive around the Ansem Hall revealing more sprawling lawn and various other brick structures. "It's like its own town…" whispered Roxas, mostly to himself. He glanced over at his brothers, no one heard him. Cloud pointed out some other buildings; Auditorium, Library, Movie Theater…

"What a second, a MOVIE THEATER!?" Exclaimed Sora happily. "This place is amazing, I can't believe we get to live here!" He squealed.

Cloud let out a small laugh, "Just don't forget Sora, we aren't like the people who attend this school. They live lives we could never even imagine. This is not a place of luxury for them, this is just part of their everyday lives."

"Yeah, So don't turn into one of these good-for-nothing rich kids who think they are better than everyone." Roxas chimed in taking in all the grandeur. He didn't think he could ever get used to all of this.

"Well that's impossible Rox, we aren't even rich!" Sora smiled innocently and was wide eyed as he took in all the sights. "Plus, Riku and Kairi go here, they're 'rich kids', and they don't think they are better than everyone." Sora crossed his arms, reminding Roxas again that he had friends here already, and Roxas probably never would have friends again.

He turned to stare out his window, but when he did, he noticed that all of the students he passed stared at the truck as they drove along the road. They weren't the only car on the road, so he couldn't figure out why they were staring…

"They've probably never seen a U-Haul before." Cloud answered matter-of-fact like. He had one arm propped up on the window and had his other resting lightly on the steering wheel. "Most families hire private moving companies to have everything set up for them before the kids even arrive. You two may actually be the last ones moving in, most of the students showed up last weekend."

Roxas remembered the pamphlets he said seen about the school. He had read about the 'activities' the students were invited to participate in the week before school started, but he had begged his mom to stay in Twilight Town for as long as possible, so they were just now moving all their stuff into their dorm the Saturday before classes began. They were going to use today to get their room set up and unpack, then they were going to go back into town and eat at Cloud's favorite 50's themed diner.

The elder blonde rounded a corner and pointed to a wide 'U' shaped 5 story building. "Welcome to your new home boys."

Home. The word ripped through Roxas, he glanced up at the pompous dwelling and was immediately filled with disgust. This was not his home, this would NEVER be his home. The home he once had is long gone, and it's never coming back. He bit his tongue again, still a little sore from the abuse it took yesterday.

Cloud drove to the back of the building and unlocked a door that lead to a hallway containing a row of 'service elevators' as the eldest brother called them. Roxas rolled his eyes. He felt like he had stepped back in time.

The three loaded up the elevator for the first trip and Cloud pushed the button that lit up around a 2. Cloud explained that the 1st floor is a full of different living areas and recreational spaces. After that it went underclassmen to upperclassmen in terms of room assignments, so freshman dorms were on the 2nd floor.

When they emerged, they were in a service room, Cloud opened the door to the hall and the twins took their luggage out into the luxurious hallway. The floors were covered in a thick navy carpet with golden embroidery running along the sides. The walls were decorated in an expensive looking wallpaper and lit up pictures adorned the walls tastefully.

Thankfully they didn't have to go too far to reach room 213. Cloud pulled out a beautiful antique key and shoved it into the keyhole, turning the lock and opening the door to a large room full of light. Roxas had to blink for a couple of times to get his eyes to adjust.

The room was large, much larger than Roxas had been expecting when he heard the words 'dorm room', hell, this room was bigger than their old living room back home. The light as it turned out was coming from a HUGE set of windows that ran almost the entire length of the far wall. Exactly the same, on opposite sides of the room, there was 2 queen beds, 2 desks and 2 dressers. The beds were up against the far wall with the windows, the desks on the right/left wall, and the dressers on the same wall as a door. The only difference between the two sides is that one had a door on it that he quickly realized was a very large walk in closet. All the finishes were grand, amazing crown molding, and the doors made of the finest wood.

"THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING ROOM I'VE EVER SEEN!" screamed Sora as he ran across the room and leaped onto the bed on the left side of the room. "THIS BED IS SO COMFORTABLE!" he kicked his arms and legs and thrashed all around on the bed in a fit of happiness. Someone obviously was having no problem adjusting to this life.

The blondes looked at each other and burst out laughing, effectively snapping Roxas out of his mood. The three started moving the twins belonging into their new space, they past a few students in the hallways, none of them said hello, they just stared at the trio, judging silently.

'I better get used to this' Roxas thought to himself and he proceeded to bring up box after box. It took the three of them until dinner time, but they had completely set their dorm up for success.

They had a TV and a stand they put between their beds along the wall with the windows, they hooked up the Xbox and the PS4 and placed a couple of bean bags in front of it. Roxas had his childhood nightstand and his posters up on the wall, he favorite books on his bookshelf, his laptop on his desk. He wouldn't admit it to anyone but having his personal items with him did make him feel a little better about being here.

"Alright if you two are satisfied with your work, lets go get some dinner, I'm starved" Cloud wiped his brow which was still dripping with sweat. He should have brought an extra change of clothes. The twins simply had to share a look signally they were both ready for food and wordlessly followed Cloud out of the dorm and back to the U Haul.

The brothers had a good time at dinner, all of them finishing every crumb of their meals after all the physical labor they had been doing. They dropped the now empty U Haul off at Clouds house, it was just right around the corner from the diner, opting to drive Clouds jeep back to school. Roxas wished he had asked to stay at Clouds one more night. He hated to admit, but he was kind of scared to spend the night in that big old school on the secluded gates grounds. Sounded like a horror movie waiting to happen…

That was not going to happen though, Sora was vibrating he was so excited to get back to school. Since it was Saturday, curfew back to the dorms wasn't until 10pm, so Sora was going to be able to see both Kairi and Riku. Roxas personally thought he seemed more excited to see his best friend than his girlfriend, but I guess he could chalk it up to it being longer since his brother had seen the silver haired boy. Of course now he'd be left all alone in his new room on his first night here while Sora is off with his friends. Sure, he would probably invite him along, but that would honestly be worse, he'd have to be fake happy the whole time.

Sora and Cloud talked the whole drive from Clouds place to ATW Prep, which was about 25 minutes. Well mostly, it was Sora. Cloud was a pretty quiet guy, always has been, even since their Dad left when Cloud was 16 and he became the man of the house. Roxas couldn't remember the man but apparently all three boys drew a major resemblance to him. He had seen a couple of pictures, but they were pretty old and worn out. Mostly they all just pretended like he didn't exist, and Cloud was kind of a pseudo father to the twins.

When he pulled up to the boy's dorm he asked with a serious face if they were going to be OK? They assured him they could handle the night on their own and they would see him tomorrow for Freshman Orientation. He gave them both keys to their dorm room and with one lingering glance at Roxas he pulled away, the smaller blondes heart sunk as he watched him leave.

"Okay now let's go find Riku and Kairi!" Sora exclaimed smile so large his eyes were closed. Roxas blinked, he didn't even have a moment to object before Sora shook his head and spoke again.

"Now Roxas, I am not just going to let my best friend and twin brother sit alone in our new room on the first night we are here, you are going to come with me to go find them and we are going to have FUN you hear me?" He laughed as he linked arms with Roxas eagerly awaiting his response.

He thought about throwing a fit, or maybe just a punch and running upstairs locking himself in for the night, but when he met his brother's eyes, he knew there was no getting out of this. Instead he just sighed and nodded at Sora, "So, where are they?"

Sora's eyes lit up and he squealed in delight at Roxas giving in so easily. "Well Riku told me to meet him at his room, he's on floor 3, he told me to knock on his door as soon as I got back." The brunette boy smiled and started walking, arms linked with the blondes as they approached the main doors.

Since they had only used the "service" entrance before, they were a little lost when coming in the main doors. The living and recreation area Cloud mentioned before was rather nice, there was a very large formal living area with a fireplace along with additional sitting areas, there were signs pointing to a computer lab and game room. They found the elevator/stairs and decided to take the stairs, it was only 2 floors up after all.

They were on rounding the first landing when spotted a couple making out rather aggressively against the door leading to the 2nd floor. Apparently, they were quiet enough to not alert the couple to their presence, and now the boys were frozen in place not wanting to give away their position.

The man was very large for a high school student, he must be a senior. He had long black dreadlocks pulled back into a ponytail and large sideburns, the girl was an attractive blonde who was currently sucking the face off of dreadlock man. She had two little pieces of hair that stuck up in the front distinctively.

He had her up against the door with his knee pressed in between her legs, both breathing heavily. His hands travelled her signs eliciting a few good-natured moans from the girl and she buried her hands in his hair grinding herself brazenly on his thigh.

Roxas could feel his face light up bright red and he didn't need to see Sora's to know it was identical to his. Well I mean in color… Not because they were twins. He would die if the couple were to discover them spying on their intimate moment. What if the guy thinks they are perverts and tries to kill him and Sora?

His eyes went wide and he went to tap his brother's shoulder to signal to back down the stairs, he was planning on doing this quickly and then run back out onto the 1st floor. Before he was able to execute his perfectly thought through plan, his thick-headed brother blew their cover by uttering a single word.

"Ew…"

Hands and lips stopped immediately, the girl's eyes opened and locked onto them, immediately sparking with electricity. Roxas yelped, grabbed Sora by his collar, and flew down the stairs. They burst onto the 1st floor and Roxas made for the bathroom he had seen earlier, throwing Sora in and quickly jumping in after him, locking the door behind.

The pair tried to still their harsh breathing as they listened for their soon to be killers to find them. After a solid 5 minutes they exchanged the twin glance that meant everything must be safe as they both release deep breaths.

Roxas blushed as he recalled what he had just encountered. I mean he had seen people on TV make out before, but he had never seen anything like that. The… heat that he could feel between them, even from far away, was incredible. It seemed raw, in a way that he did not fully understand and gave him a stirring feeling in his gut. Something about that girl though, she just seemed too desperate, too dirty, and he did not like the feeling that she gave him.

"Why'd you say gross?" He raised his eyebrow at Sora. The brunette blushed again and looked away, "I didn't mean to, it just kind of came out." He replied not looking his twin in the eye.

"Well obviously, but what was gross about that? I mean, don't you and Kairi do that all the time?" Roxas asked blushing deeper as he questioned his sibling. Why was he asking about Sora's love life? He really didn't want to know anyways…

"WHAT?! Oh my god NO!" Yelled Sora before Roxas' hand clasped over his mouth. They were still hiding in a bathroom after all. The now cranky blonde shot a scolding look at his brother.

"Sorry," Sora whispered pulling back from the hand over his mouth. "I just mean no. When I'm with Kairi… I mean we kiss and it's nice, but it's like sweet, not all like disgusting like those two." He hesitantly answered. Roxas raised his eyebrow at this but decided to let it go. Sora has always been sweet and innocent.

"Alright well I think we are safe now if we want to try and go find Riku." Roxas opened the door looking around to make sure they weren't spotted emerging from the bathroom together. With that Sora perked right up, going over to the elevators this time, he pressed the 'up' button and immediately there was an elevator ready for them. A quick ride to the 3rd floor and a short walk to Room 306 and Sora was knocking so rapidly it was amazing he didn't hurt his own knuckles.

No less than 10 second after the energetic brunette began his assault on the door, was it opened rather quickly, and Sora's fist instead connected with the face of a silver haired boy. OH. SHIT. Roxas could immediately tell, both by size and by the cry that escaped him, that this was not Riku.

"What the FUCK?!" the unidentified boy cried grabbing his nose, blood already pouring out, stumbling back into the room.

"Oh my god, I'm SO SORRY!" cried Sora at the exact same time, rushing into the room after him, helplessly trying to console the other boy. Roxas still stood in the hallway, his eyes wide with shock at the sudden events.

"Oh good, so it's looks like you two have met my roommate." He heard a strong voice with a slightly nervous laugh over his shoulder and spun around to face aqua eyes on the longer, lighter hair silver haired sophmore.

"Hey Riku." Roxas actually smiled. It was nice to see another familiar face.

AN: OK guys that more like it! About 2900 words? That's what's up! This story is taking a lot longer to write than I thought, but OH WELL. These characters are too much fun and I am sorry if I spend too much time in descriptive detail, I'm just trying to create good imagery because I hate when there is no details in fics. Poor Roxas and Sora, there poor little virgin eyes can't handle Xaldin and Larxene making out! Probably because Larxene is such a slut. Anyways I hope I have some followers of this story by this point, I know we are all tired of waiting, and in the next chapter Axel and Roxas finally meet, plus some more information on "The Organization". Stay tuned!
