School is hectic. That's all I can say. I just started high school two weeks ago. Seniors are crazy. "Run little freshman! Run!" --;; I found fellow yaoi fans! Yay! And I finally have decided on a permanent penname. See profile for the reasons why.
Disclaimer: Me no own Kingdom Hearts.
The silent signal,
Sent through our
hearts.
No matter how hard we
try,
We're always only
alone.
The words that seem,
To stretch across the
canvas.
Between our eyes,
there's connection.
Wishing for the
sidewalk,
that places the
distance,
between us would just
disappear.
-Excerpt from Aizu.
-Apples-
"Die."
-Stomp-Stomp-
"Dammit! Make it stop!" screamed Axel. The redhead furiously tried to keep up with the pace.
Meanwhile, Roxas casually smirked as he went through the whole song easily. After the last stomp, Axel decided to collapse on the couch. Roxas watched the ending credit roll, and then he sat down next to Axel's limp body. The older boy decided glare at his best friend.
"You are so evil."
Roxas shrugged with a smirk on his face, "Yeah. Pretty much."
The redhead groaned in pain, "I think I'm dying. Meet you in the next life."
Roxas snickered and took a sip of his soda that had been set down on the floor, "Drama queen."
The older boy glared at his best friend.
"That," Axel struggled to get up, "is the last time I'm ever playing DDR with you."
"It wasn't my fault that you accidentally put it on light."
Axel, yet again glared at him, "You picked the song so fast I had no time to notice it was on light!"
"It's not my fault you suck, Mr. Beginner Mode," The blond stood up and held out his hand to the redhead. "Gonna get up?"
Grimacing, Axel took the hand and was lifted up. Roxas turned to grab a cookie from the plate that was set on the coffee table. As the blond consumed the cookie, Axel took one for himself while scanning the game rack.
"Hey Rox, get Sora over here. I wanna see him kick your ass."
Roxas raised his eyebrow, "No."
The redhead pouted, "You're so cruel. Making me do it myself… Sora! Get your ass over here."
Sora popped his head out his room, "What do you want?" The brunet pouted at his disrupted peace that had been filled with thoughts of a silver-haired person.
Axel signaled for the boy to come over, "I want ya to kick Roxas's ass."
Sora tilted his head in curiosity, "At what? And while we're talking about 'asses', you should probably tell Roxas what you wanna do to his-"
At this, Axel decided it was a good time to make Sora shut up, so he covered the brunet's mouth with his head. The boy's yells were muffled, and Axel refused to let go.
Roxas watched them both with disinterest, "I don't even want to know what he was going to say."
Axel shrugged, "Yeah. You probably don't." The oldest of the three then shouted, and let go of Sora. "Disgusting! You licked me!"
"You wouldn't let go," retorted the accused boy.
The redhead then shook his head, "Whatever. Just go beat up Roxas in DDR."
Sora perked up, "Yeah yeah! Okay!" He then turned to Roxas, "Get ready for the super DDR challenge!"
"God, please save me now."
Ignoring Roxas's plea to God, the younger twin dragged him towards the DDR mats. After a bit of shuffling and selections, Roxas was on standard mode and Sora on heavy.
"Hey Roxas," Sora said, "You might as well pick the song, cause you know you're gonna lose."
Roxas sighed, and after a bit of footwork, he selected Dive. As the intro started, the twins heavily concentrated on the steps. Axel chose to crash on the couch, facing the pillows so he wouldn't see the bright lights and flashes produced by the game.
"One of these days, you guys're gonna get seizures from doing that song too much," the redhead yelled from his comfy position.
Sora turned for a split second, stuck out his tongue, and returned to watching the screen, "Nuh-uh! Never!"
Roxas collapsed after the last combo, while Sora snickered and sat on his brother's stomach.
Roxas's score flashed as A, while Sora's was AAA somehow. The younger twin had a wicked sense of rhythm.
"You suck."
Roxas closed his eyes, trying to ignore the brunet. The blonde grimaced as he mustered up the energy to shove the brunet off, "That's it. I challenge you to a game of Karaoke Revolution."
Sora's eyes widened, "Oh god. No no no!"
Roxas evilly grinned, "Yes yes yes!"
The younger twin whimpered as Roxas set up the PS2 for the game.
"Get ready to die."
Roxas began setting up the game for the competition, setting it on medium for himself and easy for Sora.
"Hey Sora," The elder twin mocked, "You might as well pick the song, cause you know you're gonna lose."
Sora pouted and decided to pick Hikari. While the song was loading, Sora grimaced, imagining his gruesome defeat.
Donna toki datte
Tada hitori de
Unmei wasurete
Even though Sora had just started, both Axel and Roxas clamped their hands over their ears in pain. Unfortunately for them, Sora was tone-deaf.
Ikite kita no ni
Totsuzen no hikari no naka
Me sameru…
Not even finished with the first verse, Sora's character slumped on the ground, the word "FAIL" flashing on the screen. Roxas smirked as Sora glumly handed the headphones to him.
"Knock yourself out."
Roxas smirked, "You are so getting your ass kicked."
The same beginning verse played, but unlike Sora, Roxas breezed through it easily and finished the first verse, perfectly carrying the notes. Axel sat back and closed his eyes, allowing Roxas's voice to flow through his mind. Before he knew it, the song was over and Roxas was laughing maniacally at his younger brother.
"You. Suck. Like. Hell."
Sora childishly stuck out his tongue, "Shut up."
"Sora! Roxas!"
The twins turned to the door, "Yeah, Mom?"
"I'm going to the grocery store to pick up more food. What would you guys like?" she took her purse out of the closet.
"Hot Cheetos, Mentos, Barbecue Lays, and grab me a liter of Pepsi," Roxas replied first.
"Doritos, pop rocks, pixy sticks, Reese's, and a liter of Coke," Sora replied after.
Their mother shook her head, "What have I told you boys? Only one liter of soda allowed in the house at all times."
"Hey," Sora protested, "It's not our fault that the soda rocket exploded all over the house."
Roxas frowned, "So says the genius who said, 'Let's shake it up a couple more times'."
"That was really fun to watch though," Axel commented from the couch.
"Boys, decide. Pepsi or Coke?"
"Pepsi, of course," replied the older twin.
"Coke."
"Pepsi."
"Coke."
"Pepsi."
"Coke."
"Pepsi."
"Coke."
"Pepsi."
"Coke."
"Dammit to he-" "Roxas!"
"Sorry mom. Pepsi!"
"COKE!"
"Pepsi!"
"Coke!"
"Pepsi!"
"Coke!"
"Coke!"
"Pepsi—Wait. What!"
Roxas smirked, "Hah. I win."
"No fair!" Sora launched himself at his brother, "You cheated!"
Kukiyo Strife rubbed her temples, "Axel," she called to the boy on the couch, "Help them choose."
"Axel!" the twins cried out. They both ran over to him and pouted.
"Axel… you know you want Pepsi."
Sora furiously shook his head, "No. He'll pick Coke. Right, Axel?"
They both pouted at him, and the redhead nervously flicked his eyes left and right.
"Uh…"
"Axel!"
"Axel."
"Fine, fine," he sputtered out, "Pepsi."
"No fair!" Sora glared at his older brother, "It's Axel's own proclamation of love for you! That's why he chose Pepsi!"
"Are you on crack?" Roxas raised his eyebrow.
"Nope! I ate two batches of mom's cookies all by myself!" Sora's appearing grin lit up his whole face. "Hyperness is good for the soul."
"Mom. Is there any snacks in the fridge that aren't going to make him hyper?"
Their mom shrugged, "Well, there's always apples."
Sora's face slowly turned red from embarrassment.
Roxas attempted to restrain his laughter while Axel collapsed on the floor, holding his stomach.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahah! Oh god! Remember the apples Sora?" Axel guffawed out.
Unable to restrain his laughter any longer, Roxas joined Axel on the floor, with Sora's face lit up in an angry flush.
"No apples Mom." Sora forced his words out.
"Sora- Hahahahaha! - That's not what me and Cloud meant when we said an apple a day keeps the doctor away," giggled Roxas as he writhed on the floor.
"Sora. You're –snigger- the only person that I know that would chuck apples at the doctors," Axel chipped in.
Sora flushed even redder, "Darn it, the needle was freaking bigger than my arm! I swear that those doctors enjoy seeing me suffering in pain! They're ebil! Ebil I tell you!"
Axel shakily stood up, using the armrest of the couch to push him up.
"Ebil?" the redhead raised an eyebrow.
"Shut up."
Axel collapsed on the ground again, laughing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sora grumbled to himself, scrubbing at the dishes furiously.
"Stupid doofuses. Of course I'll lose at Soul Caliber, and then they go make me do the dishes. Who knows what the heck they're doing in his room anyway…"
The back door opened.
"Sora. Stop mumbling to yourself and act sane for once," Cloud gloomily said.
"Shut up, you PMSing freak," Sora retorted.
"Who the hell are you calling a PMSing freak?"
"You."
Cloud trudged towards the fridge and pulled out the chocolate ice cream. Grabbing a clean spoon out of the sink, he ate straight from the carton.
"You're such a freaky Leon addict," Sora said, watching him.
"Eff you."
Sora stared straight at him, and then sprayed him with the sink hose.
"WHAT THE FUCK! SORA!"
Sora smirked. "Ha! I knew it! You're covering the hickeys up with concealer again!"
"Sora…" Cloud growled while covering up the hickeys with his hands. "Death shall come to you swiftly and painfully."
Cloud charged at his younger brother, who yelp and dodged. Sora grabbed the closest utensil at hand.
"Stand back! I have a-" Sora stared at the object in his hand, "a spork and I'm not afraid to use it!"
Cloud grabbed a weapon as well.
"I have a butter knife and I'm not afraid to use it."
Sora yelped ran for cover. "Someone save me!"
-Ring ring ring-
"I'll get that!" Roxas shouted from somewhere in their large house. The other two brothers continued on their rampage within the confines of the first level of their home.
"Cloud! Pick up the phone! It's Leon!"
Cloud perked up from where he was looming over a cornered Sora and dropped his butter knife.
"Leon!"
Cloud ran with super speed to the nearest phone.
"Leon! I loooooooooooooove you! Rinoa's gone? Yay! I'll be there soon!"
The blond happily ran out of the house.
Sora let out a breath he hadn't known he'd been holding.
"Bipolar freak."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Cloud's probably left by now," Roxas said, flopping down on his bed. Axel threw a look at him.
"That's an understatement. He's probably over at Leon's getting banged."
Roxas reluctantly nodded. Then he looked over to see what Axel was doing and paused his actions.
"Axel, why the hell are you holding up a lighter to NyanNyan?"
Axel smirked, "I hate kitties."
"Axel Yatsuen! Don't you dare touch my stuffed animals!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No matter what I do,
I always end up crying.
I despise this feeling
of,
Being so helpless.
The happiness that
melts away,
As transient as the
beginning.
Though there's many
things I want to say,
They refuse to be
spoken.
That's why I hope you
can see it in my eyes.

Cloud's fricken bipolar. He's only happy when thoughts of Leon float around in his head... -rowr-
