"I can't believe it. My heart did everything he said it would." Sora grumbled as he rolled over on his bed. Kairi sat there on a chair by his bed and giggled slightly at him.
"What?"
"Nothing. I just thought it was so cute how upset you got over Namine being at Riku's." Sora snorted and rolled over again.
"Well yeah. Weren't you upset?"
"Not really. Confused is more like it."
"Why? Don't you love her?"
"Well yeah. But I know she and Riku wouldn't do anything."
"How do you know?"
"Because Riku likes you so much." Sora groaned and rolled over. "It's definite. He won't do anything unless it's with you."
"Yeah. I don't believe that. I'd bet he'd do anyone." Be with Namine. And do this and that. And erg. Ugh.
"Wow Sora. I never thought of you to think so uninnocently."
"It's that damn keyboardist fault. He made me." Sora grumbled once more slamming his head a few times against the bed post.
"Look. If you like him so much. Bring him to that concert. I'm sure he'd like to go."
"Yeah. I guess."
----------------------------------------------------------------April First, Auditorium
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Look at that crowd!" Aran beamed around at the rest of his band. "Let's knock them out guys! I'm so fired up!"
"Your such a weirdo." Alex grumbled fixing up his keyboard.
"Look who's talking perv." Alexiel said coolly.
"Don't make me go over there you two." Jenny snapped at both of them.
"Good luck you guys." Axel said coming into the backstage area as Demyx was taking out his guitar.
"Ha. We don't need it! You guys will be rocked out loud!" Aran cheered happily as Liam made an attempt of doing a quick drum roll. Aran quickly scurried over to Liam and grinning broadly said, "Love. Did I ever tell you how much I love you."
"Far to many times." Liam said chuckling slightly and doing a few hits on his main base drum.
"Well we best get to our seats." Aran nodded and saluted them until they all left except for Sora and Riku who was trying to talk to the brunette as he continued a quick conversation with the hyper lead singer.
"Don't worry. I think you'll like the first song. It's kind of for you." Aran grinned happily and with one last wave the curtain opened and Sora and Riku hurried to their seats in the front, courtesy of Aran. Sora grinned and waved at Aran and the boy gave a small wave back as the keyboard started up the beat of the first song, Alex was defiantly giving it his all and soon the guitar joined as Demyx began to play with the assitance of Evelyn. Aran just bopped his head up and down and leaned toward the mic.
"YO YO YO! How'S EVERYONE DOING OUT THERE? GREAT FANS OF THE RENEGADES AND NEW!" Aran waved energetically at a lot of the kids wearing their school uniforms. "We are proud to perform here in this wonderful school! And for you beautiful peoples entertainment! Alright. My charming drummer is telling me to get this intro moving so I'll start introductions! This here is our newest member give it up for Demyx folks! He really does know how to rock!" Aran and Demyx high fived and Demyx played a few chords. Then Aran pointed behind him to Alex who played a dark and creepy tune, "Our beloved and perverted keyboardist Alex Elric. What can we say he's horny!" Aran laughed and then thrusting his finger in the direction of Jenny he shouted, "Give it up for our teams attitude problem, Jenny Mourhinha!" More cheers went up. "My Gorgeous hawt and greatest lover in the world drummer Liam Reedwood! Just listen to him bang away!" At this point Jenny had taken off her shoe and hit Aran in the head with it. "OW! WILL YOU STOP DOING THAT! Anyway, lovely Evelyn Rose who plays our base and of course Finally but not least, Alexiel. Who is the ever powerful female singer to my male,er, voice." Aran bowed to Alexiel as she stepped forward and flipped her black hair. "WE ARE THE RENEGADES! ENJOY! Our first number is called; "Mr.Brightside." Enjoy!"
The music began and a few whistles flew for the beginning of the bands music. Apparently there were already quite a few fans, the auditorium was packed.
Coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine
Namine stood by Kairi as the boy began to sing. Perfect voice. It grabbed you right away. He actually looked serious. Not at all like the boy she had seen laughing and fooling around the hallways. This one seemed more serious. Then she felt a hand grab hers and looked down to see Kairi's gripping hers and then felt a small soft thing push against her cheek and when she looked over Kairi grinned at her and waved up at Aran.
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
The beat itself was spectacular. One you could really get into. Aran's voice only layered it perfectly not adding to much on and not taking away from the music. The music and the lyrics fit perfectly.
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Sora saw himself and Riku that night so long ago. Both of them a the kiss they finally did share. He felt like only the music in the song without the lyrics. Without them he was incomplete.
Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And its all in my head But she's touching his chest now He takes off her dress now Let me go And I just can't look its killing me And taking control
Jealousy turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabye Choking on your alibis But its just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes 'Cos I'm Mr Brightside
Coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine Gotta gotta be down Because I want it all Axel nodded to the beat as he stood alone. His mind was still on Roxas. This song suited him. Cheerful with a mix of pain. It was perfect too. Just an added addition to how he felt about the blonde. And it was true. The lyrics suited both of them. He wanted Roxas. All of Roxas. But how could he do that without hurting the other…

Roxas weakly grinned up at Aran. Who knew the singer was so good. He also saw Sora and Riku standing side by side and looking peaceful as they nodded along to the music. Roxas gave a grin and then looked around to find the one he knew he owed an apology too. Axel. It was about time he stopped lying to himself. He needed Axel this song made him feel that. If that stupid singer could be happy and sing his heart out like this without looking back he sure as hell could tell the one he loved his feelings.
Open up my eager eyes
'Cos I'm Mr Brightside

Well what do you know. Riku thought as he watched Aran sing his voice enveloping everything and a beaming Liam slamming away on his drums as the song continued. He is good at something after all. He looked to his left to see Sora laughing happily and waving at Aran. He looked down at the ground and then he felt someone push him slightly to look back up and see Sora. He raised an eyebrow and Sora bit his bottom lip nervously and nodded to Aran to say, listen to the lyrics. There for us!
Jealousy turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabye Choking on your alibis But its just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes 'Cos I'm Mr Brightside That's Right!
I'm Mr. Brightside!
"Thank you all for Coming we hope to see you soon! And hope you enjoyed our music!" Aran finished and spun around before the curtain closed to hug Liam and as the curtain did begin to close the sight of Aran and Liam deep in a kiss could be seen.
-------------------------------------------------------------That Night as Sora and Riku walk home
"Woah. So Roxas and Axel were making out in the bathroom?" Sora said tagging along behind Rikuwho was holding his hand and guiding him home as they walked.
"Yeah. Bizarre huh." Riku said.
"Nah. I always suspected that with them." Sora giggled and Riku spun around and held the other boy close to him so the brunette slowly laid his head against Riku's chest. "Riku?"
"Tell me. Please. How do you feel about me?"
"I-I think I like you a lot Riku."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. My heart tells me too." Riku nodded and leaning down and preparing for the moment we have all been waiting for, he pushes his lips against Sora's and they both kiss each other deeply. The Authoress cheers! 3
When they pull apart and look at each other. "I will always love you. I always have." Sora nodded at Riku's words. And both boys heard a squeal of Aran beginning a new song from inside the school.
"THIS NUMBER IS CALLED DIRY LITTLE SECRET FOLKS!"
"Heh. You know..I never thought that brat could be good at anything. But I guess I was wrong he's not that bad of a singer. Really good actually." Riku said hugging Sora close to him and was surprised when Sora began laughing rather hard.
"What?" Sora began coughing with the lack of air and Riku quickly began rubbing his back in circles. "Sora? BREATHE!"
"Sorry. Hahahahahhahahahahahahaaaokay…well see.." Sora grinned up at Riku and then deciding to keep it to himself he leaned forward and kissed him and merely said as he pulled back,
"That's not all he's good at."
