"You're wrong! I do…" - Axel, Kingdom Heart II


Riku was frowning.

Badly.

He clenched his fist tightly that blood was dripping from it onto the roof he currently sat on. Soon, the blood flows down onto the ground. He only spread his hand when he felt pain on his palm and looked down at the red liquid glittered under a bright sun.

'Why can't I just tell him?' he thought. 'Why can't someone as cool as you, just tell the moron Sora about your feeling, Riku?' He cursed as he gripped his fist again. 'Damn it! He's just Sora! Your best friend! Your partner! Your…crush…' He then sighed.

"Someone's in depress," one voice said, startling Riku who immediately withdrew his weapon and faced one tall man with very long silver hairs. Riku quirked his eyebrow as he stared at the person. "The name is Sephiroth," said the man. Riku's gripped against his weapon tightened.

'Isn't Sephiroth the one Sora mentioned to be with Zack before he fainted?' Riku frowned more. "You're the one who attacked Sora…" Riku hissed. His eyes darkened.

"I prefer if you choose taking something from him," Sephiroth said.

"What? What did you take from him?" Riku asked.

"Not yet though," Sephiroth said. Riku frowned, eyes narrowing. "What strong eyes you have. No wonder Ansem used you before."

"Shut up!" Riku slashed his weapon and a razor wind headed towards Sephiroth in fast speed, to be blocked by a barrier. Sephiroth smirked.

"Your dark power is much stronger than light," Sephiroth said. Riku frowned. "Do you think he'll like someone who has a strong darkness like you?"

"What?"

"A child of light and a child of darkness. Two completely different worlds. You think he will fall in love with someone opposite of him?" Sephiroth asked. Riku stunned. "What will he think of you when you tell him of your feeling?"

"What…?"

"He'll hate you."


"Have you seen Riku?" Sora asked his Nobody.

"No," replied Roxas. Sora bit his lip. "Something wrong?" Roxas asked, sensing something weird about his human.

"Um…you know I have a nightmare this lately, right Roxas?" Sora asked. Roxas nodded. Of course he knew because everyday he woke the brunet up where the brunet sometimes furrowed his eyebrows and moaning while sleeping. Once in a while too, he himself dreamt of whatever his human dream of.

"So what of it?" Roxas asked.

"Well…I told Riku about it," Sora said.

"And…?"

"And he started to change," Sora said then bowed.

"Change?"

"Yes. I mean, not that he hadn't change before but when I told him it was a guy I was dreaming of, he started to sound…angry," Sora said, furrowing his eyebrows. "He's even madder when I didn't want to tell him who the guy was."

"You knew who the guy is?" Roxas asked, awed.

"Well…assumption to be exact," Sora said.

"So why didn't you tell him?" Roxas asked.

"…I don't know," Sora replied, blushing.

"…It's Riku, isn't it?" Roxas said. His assumption was right when his human instantly looked at him in shock before the brunet bowed in embarrassment. "How do you know it's Riku?" Roxas asked.

"I-I have a dream again just now…" Sora said. "And it's different than the previous."

"How different?"

"He touched me," Sora replied, blushing redder than before.

"Ah…"

"You know Riku always touched me before so when I dreamt of the hand, its warmness was the same like Riku a-and…" Sora's face turned redder and being his Nobody, Roxas immediately knew what Sora was thinking.

"You like him?" Roxas asked. Sora stared at his Nobody for a while before he nodded weakly. "Do you love him then?" Roxas asked again. This time, Sora took a long time to think about it.

"I don't know…" Sora replied then sighed. "I'm not sure of my feeling. And here I thought I have the most pure heart."

"Having the purest heart doesn't mean you have the cleverest mind, idiot," Roxas said.

"Hey!" Sora pouted. Roxas chuckled. And silence followed behind. "So…"

"You need to tell him," Roxas said.

"Huh?"

"Tell him about your dream, Sora. I'm sure Riku will not mad at you anymore," Roxas said.

"You think so? Because he's been grumpy this lately. I wonder why though," Sora said. Roxas stared at his Nobody in awe before he shook his head and sighed.

"Now I really wonder how come you have been chosen as the Hero," Roxas said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sora pouted cutely again.

"Anyway, just tell-" Roxas's words were cut off when he detected a new presence. He and Sora quickly withdrew their Keyblades, whirled around and pointed towards one figure standing behind them just now.

"Y-You!" Sora's eyes widened.

"Zack, I presume?" Roxas said. Sora nodded quickly. Roxas then glared at the smiling Zack, hand tightened around the Keyblade. "You're not getting Sora's heart, Zack," Roxas said. Sora's eyes widened.

"How do you know?"

"I'm your Nobody, remember?"

"Oh…"

"Yes, like I said Zack, you're not getting Sora's heart," Roxas said, irritated without reason.

"Chill down," Zack said as he raised his hands to his shoulders level. "I'm here not to fight with you guys. I don't really want to hurt Cloud's friends."

"So you are Cloud's friend!" Sora exclaimed. "That's mean you're not evil, right?" Sora asked.

"He wants your heart, idiot," Roxas said.

"True, I'm not evil," said Zack. Roxas snorted.

"As if I will believe that," Roxas said. Zack smiled.

"It's true. I'm not evil. But I do need Sora's heart," said Zack. Sora gulped. Roxas's eyes darkened.

"Why do you need my heart?" Sora asked.

"It's the Key to open the door to darkness," replied Zack.

"You are evil. You wanted to open the door to darkness to release the remaining of the Heartless!" exclaimed Roxas.

"Please. Please. Just listen to me first," said Zack. Roxas frowned. "I have a reason why I wanted to release the Heartless."

"To conquer the world?" Sora said. Zack shook his head. "Huh? Then what?"

"I want to give someone a present."
