After Love
Chapter 4:
Key of Betrayal and Dilemmas
Thanks to AikikuSorakun for reviewing:) And to everybody else that faved this story!
Sora was waiting in the food court at the mall. He wouldn't usually go here anymore, he had been here too many times with Riku, but Roxas had asked. At first, when they had first met, Roxas had been shy and withdrawn, but after a few weeks, they had become best friends.
Where is he? thought Sora, checking his phone's time. He was supposed to be here 15 minutes ago. Irritated, he was about to text Roxas to hurry up, when he heard a voice behind him.
"Sora!" cried out a high voice Sora recognized immediately, Kairi. He quickly turned around to face her unstoppable talktivity.
"Hey, Kairi," murmured Sora, shyly. After Riku's death, Sora had almost completely ignored her, along with everybody else, all that had mattered was that Riku was dead, and he wasn't.
And after Sora's reply, Kairi launched into a super long speech, with Sora making the appropriate noises in the right places. He wasn't really paying any attention, until…
"Wait, what did you just say?" Sora cut in.
"Oh, I said that I found out that Roxas's gay," Kairi replied, Sora's interest not unnoticed.
"WHAT!?!?!?!?" Sora yelled in her face. Kairi blinked at the sudden out burst, then just continued explaining about how she and Aerith wormed it out of him, but by that point, Sora was lost in his own thoughts.
I can't believe that he's gay! That means that I'm not the only one! I'm not alone anymore, and this means that he could like me back, Sora got very excited and happy with this last thought. He had a crush on Roxas, after getting to know him, Sora found he and Roxas had a lot of things in common. He hadn't expected it to go anywhere, so he didn't feel that guilty.
But that last thought brought the held back guilt to the front focus of his mind. Oh God, what would Riku think, I'm betraying his memory, and my love by having these feelings, Sora thought frantically searching for a reason to both go against Riku's memory, and to go against Roxas.
"Sora? Sora!" yelled Kairi, as Sora suddenly leapt up and ran out of the mall.
***
Sora burst into his room, tears flowing down his face. He couldn't get over this dilemma. He needed Roxas, but he couldn't betray Riku.
His head started to hurt, and a familiar pain started to build up. God, now I need to cut, thought Sora, distractedly.
He pulled his knife out of its hiding place under his mattress, and automatically went to his bathroom, and locked the door. He came back to reality, leaving his choice for a minute, only to relish in the relief following the pain.
And suddenly the answer was so clear.

The next day, in Algebra, Sora went immediately up to Roxas.
"Hey Roxas"
"Oh hey Sora, you weren't at the mall yesterday, what happened?"
"Oh, I just heard some unexpected news, and had to think for a little while."
"Ok, well I hoped that you figured it out."
"I did, and I have something to ask."
"Ok, shoot."
"Roxas…" Sora hesitated, "will you go out with me?"
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! Even I didn't see this ending coming!!! O and sorry for the delay guys, I've tried to write this chapter sooo many times, and just couldn't find the right way of doing it, but I finally got the perfect ending
