Chapter Five

Odds Are Against Our Love

"Just lay down and sleep, you'll be ok." Sora ran his hands through the blonds spikey hair, looking at him with soft dreamy azure eyes.

"Sora? I think I want to just take a bath and relax, can I do that?" Roxas slowly got up, holding his side and wincing with pain. "I have had a rough day and... "

"Shh, I understand. Of course you can take a relaxing bath Roxas. When you're in this condition you can have anything you want if you answer me one question." Sora got up and picked Roxas up bridal style, carrying him into the bathroom.

"What's the question?" Roxas winced once again as Sora sat him on the step in the hot tub. He looked up at his boyfriend, awaiting the question.

"Why were you in that car with that boy?" Sora turned on the hot and cold water and watched the tub fill up, adding some vanilla bubble bath to the clear water.

Smelling the wonderful aroma of vanilla, Roxas looked up into the azure eyes of his lover. "That boy, Axel, he is my ex. And I still had feelings for him, but when I saw you there, looking for me, I remembered he didn't really love me like you do. So I got out of the car and this happened." He pointed to his wrapped up stomach.

"Oh I see... I'm glad you didn't go home with him, I was so worried when I didn't see you in the nurse's office." Sora walked over to where Roxas was sitting in the tub, and took the stomach bandage off slowly, stopping everytime Roxas winced.

"I'm glad I didn't go either. He would of practically raped me when I would go into his house. Only, of course, if I would of refused it, which I would of." He slid down into the hot water and took a deep breath, lungs filling with vanilla.

"Are you sure he won't try anything at school? Now that you made him mad?" Sora looked at his lovers beautiful naked body, and then turned his gaze to the azure eyes. He looks so sad.

"I hope not Sora... I really hope not." Roxas' eyes slowly closed as he slid down deeper into the water, the bubbles touching his bare neck.

"You always have me to protect you, so no matter what happens, I will always be here to love and care for you, Roxas." He looked Roxas right in the eyes when he said this, hand holding his chin. Sora went closer and gave his new love a tender kiss.

"I know Sora, which is why I chose you over Axel, and always will choose you over any guy and girl. You are my everything, nobody has ever cared about me like you do." Roxas scooted over to the other side of the big hot tub, and moved his head directing Sora to get in. Sora took his clothes off and stepped into the hot water, he too took a deep breath to smell the sweet aroma surrounding him.

"I love you so much Roxas."

He nodded and snuggled up to Sora's bare chest, holding back the stinging tears of love behind his eyes. This was his first true love, and he wanted it to last for a lifetime, his lifetime.

"Are you sure you want to go to school today? It's only been a week and I'm not sure your healed enough Roxas!" Sora was impatiently cleaning his room as Roxas watched him from the bed. "Roxas? Hello! Answer me! See your not paying attention so that must mean your not ready because if your not paying attention that means that your still hurt and..." Sora took a deep breath and looked at the blond.

"Sora, I'm fine! Don't worry, I can always go home early anyways." Roxas kissed the brunet in front of him and walked out of the bedroom. "And anyways my mom is coming back in a week so I need to get my butt in school so she doesn't think I've been skipping." The blond walked into the kitchen to fix some breakfast.

"But Roxas! I don't want you to be hurting during school!" Sora picked up a pop-tart and handed the other to his boyfriend.

"I'm fine! Anyways...you ready to go to the bus stop Sora?"

"Oh, we aren't taking the bus, I have a friend driving us, the bus is too crowded for an injured person like you." The brunet simply shrugged like it wasn't a big deal and grabbed his backpack as he walked outside. "Come on Rox!"

Roxas picked up his stuff and met up with his lover outside on their porch. "Who's driving us?" The blond sat down on a step, awaiting an answer.

"Riku..." Sora sat down beside him, still eating his pop-tart.

"Oh, I forgot about him...is that where you have been going after school? How long have you two been friends?"

"Roxas! Don't worry, we have been friends since we were babies! I wouldn't do anything with him! He is dating Kairi right now...but honestly he does like me, so..." Sora turned away from the blond, trying to act innocent.

"I don't like him...what if you fall in love with him?"

"Roxas? Do you not remember a week ago when I brought you home from school after you got injured? When we were in the hot tub?"

"What about it?"

"I told you that I am always here for you, and that means nothing and no one will seperate us! Got it?"

"Yeah..."

"Good, now, be happy!" Sora leaned in towards Roxas and gave him a tender kiss, but soon turned into a rough, passionate kiss, leading on to touching and ..

HONK HONK

"Stop making out and get in the car before we're late!" Riku showed up and was honking his horn like a mad man as Sora and Roxas got in the back.

"Hey there you lazy bums!" Kairi was sitting in the passenger side of the car.

"Wait a minute! I thought you were dating Hayner!" Roxas pointed at Kairi accusingly, looking shocked as he did so.

"I was, but he cheated on me with some weird girl named Olette. We broke up the second day of school...and it's nice to see you too, Roxas!" Kairi was a little upset that she had to relive that moment of seeing Hayner and Olette in a closet almost completely naked, well, Hayner was anyways...

"Oh, sorry..." Roxas blushed and looked out the window.

"You are so cute when you blush, Roxy!" Sora pulled the blond's head around to face him, and gave him a peck on the lips.

"Ah! Stop that!" Kairi looked behind her to see the two kissing. "That's sick"

"Oh Kairi, don't be such a homophobe, most girls would get turned on by that." Riku laughed as the girls face turned inside out with a disgusted expression. "Well..it turns me on, so...haha"

"What?! You're gay?" Kairi jumped out of her seat almost as she screamed.

"Whoa, whoa, settle down Kai, I'm dating you so, no. I'm only bi."

"You're bi? Oh my God!" Kairi finally settled down and turned to look out the window, the rest of the car ride was mostly quiet.

"Well, here we are" They finally reached the school and saw a crowd of people in front of the big brick building.

"What's going on Riku?" Everyone got out of the car and joined the crowd.
