Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks; Panic! at the Disco
Time to Dance; Panic! At the Disco
A/N: I have finally decided to do the first chapter of a KH multichap fic. It shall mostly be angst, with occasional humor and romance and really whatever I fancy. The setting is a Mental Institution, where our lovely characters are residing. Ages range from sixteen for Sora and Roxas, and seventeen for Axel and Riku. No one else is really important anyways. So, here we go, have fun x3

"Riiiiiku!" A spiky haired brunette said, eyes dancing as he slipped his hands around another boy's eyes from behind. "Guess who it is. Guess, guess!"
"I dunno." He said sarcastically as he slid his hands into his pockets. "Whoever could it be, Sora?"
Sora laughed, releasing him so he could take his seat at the cafeteria table, whereas he sat in his seat that was prepared across from Riku's.
"Soooo, are you gonna try one of those support classes that Kairi told us to go to today?" Sora said, nudging him. "They're 'supposed to really enlighten you about your issues'."
Riku grinned, deciding to not say anything about his use of Kairi's exact words. Instead he just picked up the spoon that laying next to his tray.
"I think we should go." Sora said, poking Riku in the shoulder from across the table. "I'd like to see what everyone says. I think it'd be funny to see how freaked out the knew lady gets when she meets everyone."
"Hm."
Sora stuck his tongue out at him playfully, since he was being so damn uncooperative. Picking up his own spoon (forks had been banned, someone had tried to stab themselves to death with one a year or so back)he tried to pierce through the lumpy gray mass they dubbed mashed potatoes. It was war. Spoon vs. rock-like substance, and so far, the rock-like substance was in the lead. Sighing in defeat, Sora pushed the tray a few inches away.
"And they try and get me to eat more, serving us stuff like that." He made a disgusted face, before fake gagging.
"Stop whining. You need to eat more whether it tastes good or not. If I hear you passed out one more time, I'm going to start force feeding you everyday."
"Hm… Maybe if you force fed me pocky or something mouth to mouth, I wouldn't complain."
"Hmm.. Would really complain if I force fed you anything sweet?" Riku grinned.
"Well…. When you say it like that." Sora said laughing. "I really can't argue. There's one that starts after breakfast. Wanna go?"
"Sure, I guess. Did you talk Axel and Roxas into going?"
"I think Naminé threatened them, I'm pretty sure they're going. Roxas was bitching about it though, after she left."
"Mmk." Sora watched as Riku finished eating whatever it was he was eating, before throwing away his tray for him, tossing his full one on top of it.
After leaving the cafeteria, the two headed down one of the many long white hallways. Riku followed after Sora, since he was the one who supposedly knew where they were headed. Stopping outside of room 326, he shuffled his feet nervously.
"Umm, after you?" Sora said sheepishly. Riku rolled his eyes and pushed open the door.
There were already quite a few people there. Many of which they both knew. Fold-out chairs sat around, scattered in what resembled a circle, yet no one was sitting in them, instead, they chose to seat themselves on the floor, in front of the chairs. Riku glanced around the room, before sitting in the least populated part of the room, Sora staying right beside him and sitting on his right. Leaning back on his elbows, Riku crossed his feet at the ankles and waited for something to happen. Sora, yawning, leaned over and laid his head in Riku's lap.
Across the room, Roxas rolled his eyes and nudged Axel. "Way to much fucking PDA." He gagged.
"Yeah, doesn't it just kill you?" He agreed.
Kairi and Naminé were already there as well, both sitting silently waiting for the five minutes that remained for the group leader to arrive. Everyone was quite except for the whispered arguments that Axel and Roxas passed back and forth.
Eventually, a women walked into the room. Her blonde hair was placed in a black hair tie, and she wore a white lab coat. Clipboard in hand, she pulled up a chair, even though everyone else was sitting on the floor.
"Hello everyone. I'm Doctor Hiyoko. This is a open group discussion room that I've set up, so that not only while I get a chance to learn a bit more about my new patients, I can also help you learn about each of your problems right off the bat. The first activity that we're going to do is go in a circle and introduce ourselves, say some of our likes, our dislikes, and one of the reasons you're here. Is there anyone who'd like to start?" She asked, voice coated sweetly.
Kairi raised her hand, smiling shyly. Dr. Hiyoko smiled back, and nodded. "Go ahead."
"Hi, I'm Kairi. I really like the beach, but I haven't gone since I was seven. I dislike spiders. The reason I'm here is because my mom said I should come."
Doctor Hiyoko nodded again, glancing at her clipboard, frowning slightly. She snapped her head back up though, and smiled at Kairi again. "Ah spiders, they're terrible things, aren't they? Okay, you're next, the one to her left."
"Yo, I'm Axel. I like fire and Roxas and burning things. I dislike… humanity in general. I also dislike things that are overly cute and hyper, like puppies. The reason I'm here is because I'm a pyromaniac. When I was eleven, I caught my brother's crib on fire. Unluckily, he wasn't even in it at the time."
"Fire is supposed to be very symbolic, is there any reason that you care about it so much?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"No. Fuck, that was a trick. Yes I'm sure. Don't ask me anything, do Roxas already." Axel rolled his eyes, and tapped Roxas on the shoulder.
"Oh fine. Um.. Roxas? You're it, I suppose." She sighed.
"Yeah, as Axel here already pointed out, I'm Roxas. I like… black. And, Axel I guess. I dislike Riku's eyes, cause they're the same as Axel's. I'm here because my parents hate me and I'm a cutter."
"A cutter? Why do you feel the need to cut?" Doctor Hiyoko suddenly asked, concern lacing her words.
"Because I have to put up with stupid people like you. It's none of your damn business."
"I'm sure that I'll be able to help you, after I learn more."
"Don't flatter yourself."
Biting her lip, she motioned to the next person.
"Hi! I'm Sora. I like the sky, my brother Roxas, even though he doesn't like me much, I like Riku," As he mentioned Riku's name, he lifted his hand up and placed it lightly on Riku's cheek. "I dislike it when people fight, and when people can't get along. I collect keys. I'm here because for part of the same reason Roxas is, cause our parents don't like us much, and I don't eat a lot, so I'm rather skinny." He finished as he dropped his hand back to his side.
Staring at the public display of affection, the doctor held back any remarks she had and just made for Riku to go.
"I'm Riku. I like Sora. That's it. I basically dislike everything else. I can stand Kairi, and Naminé. And sometimes Axel. I'm here because I have problem with alcohol, and therefore am screwed up in the head. Now this is getting pretty boring. I'm going back to my room." Brushing Sora off his lap, Riku stood up, before walking out the door. Sora stood as well, before throwing a goodbye wave directed at Kairi and Naminé, and followed after him.
"Um… would anyone like to volunteer to go?" The doctor asked nervously.
Axel and Roxas then both stood up laughing, before walking out of the room as well, slamming the door behind them.

A/N:Hope it wasn't too blah or anything, it'll get better. I really just needed a way to introduce the characters and each of their issues. Anyone who can guess what Kairi's problem is, gets a cookie. Good reviewers get plushies of their choice x3
