Wonny: Hi! More for all my reviewers and new readers! Enjoy!
'I heard Sora saying weird things in his sleep about you, Riku...'
Selphie...
'Really? Like what?'
'Kiss me, please, and stuff.'
How could she have heard that? How could she have told him that?
'What! Are you sure?'
'Positive. Aw, I think it's cute! You two have always been best friends!'
That's true...
'So? Selphie, we're boys! It's not right! No wonder he's always hanging off me...'
I don't hang off you. At least, I try not to...
'Riku, he's only playing with you then.'
Exactly. Because that's the only thing I can do.
'Sure. Right. I'm not 'playing' with him anymore.'
Why not?
'But you two have always been best friends! You can't just push him aside! Do you know how much you'd hurt him?'
'I don't care.'
No...
'I asked out Kairi. That should prove to him that I'm straight. Don't give me that look, Selphie.'
I'm your friend...
'You can't do this to him, Riku! Look, forget what I said! It's not worth losing a friendship over! He could have been talking like he was Kairi or something! Please don't, Riku.'
Please don't...
'Sorry Selphie. He's not my friend anymore.'
...I love you...Riku...
-With Sora-
"Is he awake?"
"I don't know; but he is moaning a lot."
Smack!
"Ow! What was that for!"
"Idiot! It means that he's waking up! Don't you listen to the teacher?"
"Hey, you flunked too, Axel! So shove it!"
'Axel? Who the heck is Axel?'
"Yeah, but at least I know when someone's waking up, Roxas!"
"Aw, don't be mad. You know you love me."
"I can't argue with that..."
Sora moaned and clenched his eyes shut. There was too much noise. It was making his head hurt.
"Oh, oh! He is waking up!"
"Told you."
Slowly, Sora's bright, azure blue eyes opened. A boy his age with blonde, spiky hair was leaning over him, his own eyes a blue sea of worry. Beside him, a boy with red hugely spiky hair with odd markings on his face eyed Sora suspiciously with green-blue eyes.
"Hey, kid, you okay?" Said the blonde.
Sora raised a hand to his head, steadying the pounding. "I-I don't know..." He suddenly realized something. He sat up, eyes wide. "Wait, I'm not dead!"
The two strange boys exchanged looks.
"Um, no..." The blonde replied, raising an eyebrow of the same shade, "...although you got chewed up a bit..."
Sora looked under the sheets of the bed. He sighed. His leg was still there. Bandaged to the toes, but there.
"Thank-God..." He flopped back onto the pillows.
The blonde leaned over him. "Not to be rude, but, um,..."
"...Who the hell are you?" The red-head finished.
"Sora." The brunette replied. He sat up again, feeling a jab of pain in his gut. He pressed a hand to it.
"Yeah. The sharks got you good. We're surprised you were still alive." The red-head said, nodding to the bandages encircling Sora's waist.
Sora winced. "I can tell. I'm surprised, myself." He thought of seeing his friends for the last time and shivered, "So, who are you two? And where am I?"
"Well, I'm Roxas, and the sexy boy on my right is Axel." The blonde grinned. Axel put an arm around his shoulders.
"Nice to meet you. Thanks for taking care of me." Sora said, nodding, "So then where are we?"
"You're in Twilight Town." Roxas answered, "On the mainland. Where'd you come from, stranger?"
"Destiny Islands." Sora replied. Roxas and Axel gaped.
"No way! You've got to be kidding!" Roxas cried.
Axel turned pale. "You went through the Rough Belt?"
Sora frowned. "Rough Belt?" He asked.
Roxas nodded. "The place over sea where there's always a terrible storm. It stretches around the islands you're talking about, so the only way to and from them is to go through it. It was rumored that there were a few shipwrecked survivors on the islands, but," He shook his head, "No one thought they'd be able to survive."
"Well, guess they were wrong. Me and five other kids have lived there most of our lives." Sora said. He drew his uninjured leg up to his chest and lay his head on it.
"Really? Sweet! A tropical paradise all to yourselves! Lucky fucks." Roxas squealed.
"It got boring after a while." Sora said, softly.
Axel nodded. "Too much of a good thing."
"Yeah..." Sora sighed, "Hey, did you find any other kids on a raft?"
Roxas frowned. "No, we didn't. Just a half-eaten you."
Sora wrinkled his nose. "Appetizing."
"Why do you ask?" Axel inquired.
Sora picked at the bed-spread. "Well...I went on the raft, first, but they found me and tried to take me back. We all got trapped in the storm. They were still on the raft when I got dragged off."
Roxas shook his head. "Shame. Well, we can keep an eye out for you. But you were the only one we saw."
Sora sighed. "Thanks." He mumbled.
Axel reached over and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure they're fine. There's nothing you can do but wait, though. You're really in too bad of a condition to look for them."
Roxas nodded. "Yeah, and I wouldn't go back into the Rough Belt if I were you. Maybe if you get better, but not now."
The door to the room opened, and another blonde entered the room. He had a black skull-cap on, and a sleeveless white trench-coat.
"How is he?" The boy asked in a smooth voice. Sora couldn't help but blush.
"He's ALIIII-IIVEEE!" Roxas howled, "Mwahahahahahaha!"
Axel hit him on the back of the head. "Don't scare him, Dr. Evil."
Roxas stuck his pinkie to his bottom lip. "Maybe for one billion dollars."
The other two cracked up. Sora chuckled.
The new comer walked over to the bed. "Sorry about these two, but I had to step out for a minute." He stuck out his hand, "I'm Seifer."
Sora shook it. Seifer took Sora's hand and kissed it. The brunette blushed.
"Hey, now, Seif. He just woke up. Give it a rest." Axel joked.
Seifer shushed him with a glare. Sora frowned. 'That's odd. Axel doesn't seem like someone who's going to back down with a glare...'
Roxas noticed the tension. "Sorry, Seifer. Want us to go?" He asked, hurriedly. There was none of his foolishness anymore.
Seifer gave them both a curt nod, and they swiftly fled the room, closing the door behind them.
The blonde turned back to Sora. He smiled. "They get out of hand, once and a while."
Sora just nodded. "I thought the Roxas guy was funny."
"He is. When he doesn't go overboard with it." Seifer said coolly, "But you can hear about him later."
Sora sighed. "Good. I think I need another nap."
Seifer chuckled. "I actually need to hear a few things from you."
"Aw...all right..." Sora pouted.
"So, who are you, since you know who I am."
"Sora."
Seifer raised an eyebrow. "Just Sora?"
Sora nodded. "Just Sora." He repeated.
"I heard them talking about Destiny Islands. That's where you're from?"
Sora nodded again. "Yep. They couldn't believe it. After finding me looking like sushi, I don't blame them."
Seifer frowned. "They said they found you?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"They didn't. I did. I've been taking care of you this whole time." He gestured around the room, "This is my home. I'll talk to them later." He said, eyes clouding.
"Oh. I see. Well thanks, really. I'm glad you looked after me." Sora said, smiling. He didn't care that he had been lied to.
Seifer smiled back. "You're welcome."
Sora suddenly realized he was not wearing his regular clothes. He had on unfamiliar boxers, but that was it. He blushed heavily.
"Um, where are my...?"
"Clothes? Well, the jumpsuit needed to be mended, but it's as good as new. The rest of it is all in the drawers over there." Seifer explained, nodding to the dresser across the room.
Sora blushed even harder. "Um...Did someone undress me?"
Seifer tried not to laugh. "I did. Not a big deal, though, right? I had to correct your wounds. And the clothes you were wearing were a little wet." He raised an eyebrow, "Unless you think it would have been better to catch pneumonia..."
Sora shook his head. "No, no! I just, um..."
Seifer finally started laughing. "It's all right! I understand! Really! My mother actually took care of changing your boxers, so you don't have to worry about me. I didn't look."
They both laughed nervously. Sora looked down at his hands.
"So, um..."
"Yeah..."
"Right..."
An uncomfortable silence filled the room.
"Well, if you need anything, give us a yell." Seifer stood to go. Sora remembered why he had gotten into this mess.
"Wait."
The blonde looked at him curiously. "Yeah?"
"Uh, could you...stay in here for a while?"
Seifer blinked. "Sure. Why?"
Sora bit his lip. "Long story."
The other boy sat back down on the edge of the bed again. "We've got time to kill."
Sora just smiled.
Yep, SeiferxSora pairing ahead. Not right now, though. But soon. Riku will take Sora back, though. WHEN HE FINISHES THE DAMNNED RAFT!
Riku: Fuck off, cat-girl.
