Sora's Thoughts.

Enigma

Chapter 3: Two of a Kind

The three 'elitist fools who will die from overindulgence' as Sora stated were sitting on the stairs with very amused looks and couldn't help but almost feel bad for the commoner. The keyword is almost. Nevertheless the three just want entertainment out of their newly found breakable toy. However, they will never know the will of a genius is never easily broken. It will require more than just bad odor, tardiness, ruined clothing, repulsive looks, wrath of teachers and no friends to break the blue-eyed beauty.

"He's different..." Squall mumbled quietly but the other two still heard him.

"Stubborn is more like it. He should just give up and move out of school before he really gets hurt. For a so-called genius, he is pretty stupid." Riku said.

"Getting soft, Riku? Sometimes you're even worse than Sepheroth. It's not like you to say something like that." Cloud stated.

Riku's eyes narrowed a bit. "I'm just stating a fact. Besides he did nothing to me or to any of us. I only attack when provoked and when I get pissed off. You of all people should know that by now."

"On the contrary, he insulted us many times and not to mention the bruised ego Sepheroth and Gippal must have. You know how easily those two are... easily provoked as you might say. And the things that commoner said and did just added fuel to the fire" the blonde reasoned.

"Like I care about the egos of those two. It's time someone sets them straight," The green eyes of the owner held something neither Cloud nor Squall could interpret."But we do have an reputation to uphold so, don't worry I won't try to help him or interfere with anything Seph plans."

"Who said I was worried?" Cloud asked.

"Stop talking about this. It's irritating me," Squall finally interrupted them.

"Fine," Cloud said then had a twinkle in his eye and started talking again. "So, Leon, I heard someone in Italy is finally coming back here in Japan soon. They said she's staying here for a great amount of time."

The stormy-blue eyes of Squall had a hint of pain in them but as soon as Cloud saw it, the pain diminished as if it were never there to begin with. "If you think I still care about her, you are sadly mistaken." He left it at that and the serene air they shared before transformed into that of an uneasy silence.

He wasn't having it. He's a strong person. He's not getting any of his mishaps bring him down. Auron gave him a lot of physical pain when they were training together (martial arts) and in the morning his muscles aches like there is no tomorrow. This doesn't even compare to those physical pains at all. Even if he stinks like a dead fish and he has to buy new expensive uniforms. It doesn't bother him at all. Nope, not all. Even if his classmates keep on staring and pointing at him and looking at him with so much disdain, he doesn't care at all. Even if his teachers are giving him those pitiful looks, it doesn't get to him. Even if in all his classes they would all plug their nose, it doesn't get to him because he already got used to the smell. Okay, maybe not, Sora is so frustrated and annoyed he wants to scream. Yes, he already cursed these imbeciles but still, he finally lost his temper and in the middle of class no less.

"What the hell are all of you looking at! If you want to complain about the smell, complain to the E5, who probably didn't lift a single finger in all of this crap and just told their servants to do it for them. Oh, I forgot all of you in this damn school are their servants because all of you are brainless idiots who can't think for themselves. I don't even see any teachers or adults in this damn school either. If you are all teachers as you say then isn't it your job to make this school a safe environment to everyone!"

Well, as much as Sora wanted to scream those words in the middle of his class, he didn't. He has more sense than that. Besides, the reincarnations of the devils are in my class. Only two more classes and I'm out of here.

Time was slower than usual and the irritation in Sora's face is easily seen. He couldn't take anymore of this and it was only the first day of their war. When the last bell rang he walked as fast as he can to Ms.Matron's class.

"Ma'am, you wanted me to come after school."

"Kashino, I don't take tardiness well and it's only the second day of school. All of the teachers here and even the superintendent speak well of you. So, I'll let you go with a warning. Now, tell me. Why were you late?" Edea asked her student.

"...I missed the bus. There's no getting around that."

Edea sighed and finally said, "just don't let it happen again and Mr.Kashino... You need a long shower."

Sora blushed furiously and just nodded and said thank you but before he left he would've sworn he heard her say 'don't give up.'

It's already Friday and Sora felt like the last four days took longer than they should. He has been thinking of ways to get back at them and nothing crossed his mind. Wednesday wasn't so bad, he arrived on time, and it seemed the day held no unfortunate event. Then lunch rolled around, and he had to go to the bathroom. When he tried to get out the door was locked from the outside. He was on the second floor so he couldn't just jump out of the window. He tried crying for help but no one came to his rescue, as expected. School ended and he was still there, then around 3:00 the janitor came and Sora was finally able to leave the bathroom.

Thursday was irritating. Everyone ignored Sora and when he was near his classmates almost everyone would talk about him as if he wasn't there. Making fun of him the whole time and mocking him. Needless to say, Sora wanted to pound every single one of them senseless. Other than the annoyance of the people around him nothing worse happened.

Today is a new day. It is Friday and Sora will not let anything bring him down today. He went through his routine of fixing himself up and eating breakfast. Afterwards, Auron gave him a ride to school. Today though nothing happened. It's probably because the E5 weren't here today. Sure, no one acknowledged his presence but that's a given. Oh, well. Maybe, they were kind enough to be nice on Fridays...nah. Probably, just ditched, lazy rich kids.

After school, he used the public transportation to get home so, that he wouldn't have to rush in preparing to go to work. Final Destiny doesn't close until 1:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Meaning, Sora had to work extra hours, which is alright by him.

Once he got home, he took a shower trying to get all the gel in his hair out. Afterwards he pulled his hair back into a low ponytail and shorter strands of hair framed his face beautifully. He always places his hair this way when he works so, that if any of his classmates dine there they wouldn't recognize him. He changed out of his black and white uniform into a royal blue dress shirt and another one of his white formal pants. It is a form of a uniform in the restaurant. They had to wear black or white formal pants partnered with a colored dress shirt. Once again he went from adorable to drop-dead gorgeous. Sora stared at his reflection in the mirror and couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't look like himself and he hated it.

The minute he stepped into the restaurant he heard Tifa's voice calling out to him. "Sora! Good you're here, there are already a lot of people at your side of the place. Irvine already took care of most of them, but there's a group of really gorgeous men that just arrived. As much as I want to serve them, I need to serve the customers at my side. Here's a pen and your pad. Now go!"

"Nice to see you too, Tifa." Sora just looked at her weirdly and once he reached his destination he froze. There in a medium sized circular table sat the E5. Please, tell me I don't have to serve them.

"Sora!" that was his cue and without further ado he walked over the intimidating table and tried to be polite and kept himself from glaring at them. Especially, Sepheroth.

"Good evening gentlemen." He said in a deep voice.

The group looked up at him and Gippal was practically drooling at the sight of a beautiful Sora. The five of them were staring at him intently. None of them uttered a word. Sora once again left them speechless.

He started getting uncomfortable with all the stares he was receiving. Sure, he usually was being stared at when he was at work, but they were female. He got annoyed and he finally asked, "What would all of you like to order?"

That snapped them out of their reverie and Gippal simply said, "you."

"I...I beg your pardon?" A very confused Sora was looking at Gippal with astonishment. Doesn't he know it's me? Probably not, every time my hair was like this no one really notice. And wait a minute, is Gippal gay? Nah, I heard how much of a playboy he is, but that doesn't mean he isn't attracted to guys.

"I said I want to have you." Gippal huskily said.

He is probably messing with me. The nerve of this guy. "I'm sorry sir, 'you' is not on the menu...what would you like to order or do you want your drinks first?"

"You're juices," Gippal said softly, but Sora heard him nonetheless and choked on his spit.

"I...um...I think I should ask someone else to serve you if you keep on saying things like that. And have it ever crossed your mind that I don't swing that way?"

"It did, but I always get what I want." Gippal stated matter-of-factly. "Besides, did it ever cross your mind that I was talking about the juice that this restaurant offers?" Throughout their little exchange Riku and Squall looked at the beautiful waiter thoroughly and couldn't help but think that he looks a bit like Sora.

"That's nice and all, but you can't always get what you want. Now, may I please have your..." even after everything Gippal had said, Sora still tried to be polite. He couldn't lose his job.

"Have we met before? You look really familiar," Riku cut him off.

Sora stiffened and for the first time he actually looked at Riku. His emerald eyes looked right at his sky blue orbs. Sora was lost in those beautiful eyes and he got weak on the knees and stumbled right into where Leon was sitting and the brunette caught him in his arms. Sora looked up and he felt himself caught his breath at the sight of Leon so close to him. The stormy-blue eyed boy look even more handsome up-close. If that's even possible. He got up quickly and uttered a quick 'sorry'. He felt himself heating up. The sight of the blushing boy made Leon smile. Knowing it was him who got him flustered. Seeing the smile that graced Leon's lips made Sora look like a shining ruby. He looks even gorgeous smiling like that. What the hell am I thinking? I've finally lost the little sanity I have left. Just great.

Riku and Gippal scowled a bit at that, but said nothing. Sepheroth and Cloud exchanged amused glances at each other. It seems there three companions are a bit taken with the gorgeous waiter. This will prove to be amusing for the two of them.

"Hey angel! The manager is calling for us. C'mon" Irvine, told him and left.

"...Excuse me gentlemen it seems that I am needed elsewhere. I'll be back soon. Please look over the menu and decide what you would like to order." Sora told the E5 with unbelievable politeness. Then he turned and caught up with Irvine.

"Thank you. You're my savior." Sora told his friend.

"No problem. Now you owe me." Irvine replied with a smirk on his handsome face.

"Figures...did Tifa really ask for me?"

"Nope, I was at the other table and saw your very uncomfortable state so I thought I should help," Irvine shrugged.

"Thanks, really. I thought I was going to burst with embarrassment." Sora sighed.

"I think you should go back now. They're probably waiting for you."

"...Fine"

When Sora returned he was very amused with the look of their faces. Gippal was scowling, Riku was glaring at him, Leon has a tiny smile, Sepheroth was smirking, and Cloud was indifferent. Sora couldn't help but laugh. The sound of his laughter snapped them out of their state and looked at him as if he had two heads.

"What's so funny?" Sepheroth asked in annoyance. No one laughs at the E5.

Sora's chuckle subsided and gave him a beautiful grin. His smile alone made him forget why he was annoyed in the first place. "Oh nothing... I assume you are all ready now. So, what would you fine gentlemen want to order?" Fine gentlemen...right. Uncle Jecht doesn't pay me enough to be nice to these imbeciles. I still don't know why he makes me call him 'uncle.' Oh, well.

After that everything else went smoothly. Except for the occasional pick-up lines that Gippal would throw at him, Riku's beautiful emerald eyes that always draws him in, and Leon's intense stare. Good thing, Cloud and Sepheroth weren't weirding him out. When the E5 finished their dinner Sora came to them with the check.

"Here you go. Thank you for dining in Final Destiny! Come again!" Sora told them with a forced smile. Just as he was about to leave Sepheroth grabbed his right arm and made him turn around.

"You forgot this." Sepheroth simply stated.

"Eh?...um...1000 munny! I can't take this sir. It's too much." Sora shook his head. Is he trying to bribe me or something!

"Of course you can. You served us well," Riku told him and his bright green eyes looked right at Sora. The blue-eyed-boy thought his knees were going to give out again. Sora gulped and said in a defeated tone, "If you really insist..."

"I do." Riku smirked.

"Well, then, thank you." Sora gratefully said and bowed. Before he could leave someone took his right hand again and turned him around. Sora looked at the intruder and he couldn't help but turn crimson. The so-called 'intruder' was none other than Leon himself.

"Before you go. I'd like to know your name." Leon's blue-gray eyes were looking at his own sky-blue orbs with so much intensity that Sora had to look away. So, they really don't know that it's me. And they made a fool of themselves trying to get my undivided attention. Heh, this will be fun...

Author's Note: It was kind of rushed in the middle sorry about that. I just really wanted to go to the restaurant part, and I wanted to up-date as soon as I can so, that all of you can finally read this chapter.

I apologize again for my late entry, but like I said, I was very busy. I started writing the 4th chapter for Underneath the Surface, but well, I'm kind of stuck. So, it might take a while for my up-date on that one.
