Chapter 4


Roxas absolutely enjoyed riding motorcycles. He had only ever ridden on his old friend Seitzer's motorcycle, but now riding with Cloud reminded him just how much he missed the wind in his face.

Sora had been right be he talked about Cloud and his driving skills when driving his beloved Fenir compared to his car. Sure, he sped faster than he really should and weaved dangerously between cars, but he was a lot smoother this way. He made it all feel safe and in a strange way, natural.

It was too short of time in Roxas' mind that they reached their destination. A large sign that read, "SOLDIERS" sat above large revolving doors. All in all, it looked like a cliché police station in all those popular TV shows.

Roxas got off the bike and handed his helmet to Cloud. He put them both away and ruffled Roxas' spikes, not even denting a single one. "Come on Roxas." He said and started to walk to the entrance. "Welcome to the SOLDIER headquarters."

They walked through the revolving doors and into the large, busy room. Heads turned towards them as they heard the door jingle, but most turned back to whatever they were doing.

Roxas saw a flash of blue and black before suddenly he was on the floor. Roxas closed his eyes naturally as he fell, and opened them to see who his attacker was.

A black haired male around Cloud's age sat with his legs on either side of him, making it a very compromising situation. The male above him didn't notice as he placed his hands on his chest and leaned forward calculatingly, a serious glint in his eyes.

Roxas gulped unsure of what to do. He never broke eye contact with the man though, not wanting to start something. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye the other man broke out in a wide grin. His eyes danced as he leaned back. "Awwww…" He cooed. "You look just like an adorable little Cloud baby!"

Roxas' eyes narrowed in disbelief. Gone was the seriousness of a trained professional of the man on top of him. Now all he saw was a hyper active adult who never grew up. Sora flashed through his mind and he wondered if this is what his twin would be like.

"Zack!" Cloud said, causing the man on top of Roxas to look at him. "Please get off my brother."

Zack smiled sheepishly and slowly got off of Roxas. Lowering a hand down to his level, Zack helped Roxas up. "Sorry about that." Zack said, rubbing his black spikes that were similar to Cloud's.

"That's First Class Zachary Fair." Cloud introduced him, rolling his eyes when Zack pouted.

"But don't call me Zachary, it's too formal. Call me Zack!" Roxas nodded after Zack spoke.

"I'm Angeal Hewley, First Class." A brown haired man said as he stepped up to Roxas. Roxas hadn't noticed him or the reddish brunette beside him.

The other man looked at him arrogantly. "Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul. Pride is lostWings stripped away, the end is nigh." Roxas didn't know what the guy's problem was and he couldn't understand what he meant.

Cloud looked at Roxas and saw his confused expression. "This is Genesis Raphsodos, First Class. He likes to quote 'LOVELESS' from time to time." Cloud clarified. Roxas nodded in understanding. He had heard of the book LOVELESS, but had never read it. He also heard it had recently been turned into a play, and received great reviews from everyone.

"I'm Roxas, but you probably already knew that." Roxas said. They all nodded. At least Cloud deemed it necessary to tell his work friends about him.

Zack said a cheerful good-bye while the rest of the SOLDIERS, except for Genesis, decided to wave as they headed back to their work.

Roxas turned to his older brother, who was looking at him, gauging his reactions to his friends. "They're nice..." Roxas said in an attempt to reassure his brother that he wasn't going to bolt out of the building first chance he got.

"I'm glad you like them." Cloud said with a breath of relief.

"What are you suppose to be doing right now?" Roxas asked, noticing everyone but Cloud was working hard on their computers, in their paperwork, or discussing with fellow SOLDIERS.

"I'm basically finished for the day. As a First Class I generally don't have that much paper work. As backwards as it seems, the grunts and third class get most of it, while the higher ranks get the most field work. It keeps us in shape." Cloud clarified. Roxas was slightly confused. Normally companies like SOLDIER made the bottom feeders do the dirty work. Although field work was probably more interesting than paperwork, as he didn't see Cloud complaining.

"I do have to hang around though, in case we get any calls. So until then we'll just have to make ourselves comfortable." Cloud continued. Roxas nodded, understanding.

Cloud made his way into the back of the office, where he headed through a door labeled 'First Class'. Once inside, Roxas could tell why First Class had it made. Three leather couches lined the wall next to the door they walked through. Across from it, a few desks were scattered around the room, decorated to each SOLDIER's taste. The only way he could tell the owners of each desk was by the plague with each of their names on them.

Zack's desk was a deep black color with multiple baubles and plushies lining it, along with pictures of all the SOLDIERs he had met today (with Cloud included) goofing off, or in some of their cases, more relaxed than usual. He had a thick blue carpet on the floor, obviously because he knew he would often want to sit there. He was on the floor now, stacking papers in front of him in five different piles.

Angeal's desk obviously had a nature theme to it. His desk was the color of trees and the carpet below his desk was green and thick like grass. He had a flower tucked into his pencil holder, but surprisingly it didn't make him or his desk arrangement girly in any way. He had pictures of the First Class, although he seemed to have pictures of him with Genesis and Zack the most, along with a long, silver haired male Roxas didn't get a good look at. He had a single plush puppy with black hair and a blue collar labeled 'Zack the Puppy'.

The next desk in the room belonged to Genesis. It was in a black and red theme with nothing, except for two pictures and a pure white apple. One had a picture of him, the silverette, and Angeal. They were all smirking slightly, none of them people to actually full-out smile. The second picture was also of him, Angeal, and the silver headed male; they were sitting on of the couches in that very room. Genesis had fallen asleep with his head on Angeal's shoulder, while Angeal was curled slightly into the silverette's long body. The nameless man was lying across the whole couch, his long legs lying gently in the other's laps.

The second to last desk belonged to Roxas' own brother. Cloud obviously had put a lot of thought into his desk, whether it looked like it to other people or not. Sitting or more like standing on his desk next to his computer was a small chocobo. With the same color as Cloud's hair, the stand it was on read, 'Cloud's True Form' in bold letters. Next to it was a large picture frame, with a bunch of smaller ones around elsewhere on the desk.

In the large frame was a picture of a time when Roxas was truly happy. The three brothers were at the zoo, where they stood in front of the lion's cage as they got their picture taken by their mother. Roxas' grinned matched Sora's exactly, while the older Strife looked only slightly more composed. The smaller frames contained individual pictures of Sora and Roxas when they were young, along with a current picture of Sora. Pictures of the tight-knit group of SOLDIERS were also present, but obviously were not the main theme of the desk.

The last desk was frighteningly empty. The name tag still contained a name, but the emptiness scared Roxas. Roxas didn't know why, but it felt wrong for it to be completely bare. Roxas didn't ask about it as his eyes scanned the door across from the entrance, behind all the desks. It read 'General Sephiropth'. Roxas didn't know what Sephiropth looked like, but obviously he was their boss.

Roxas didn't notice as Cloud sat down in one of the leather couches. He was shaken from his thoughts as Cloud pulled him boy into his lap. Roxas immediately curled up into Cloud, ignoring the coos coming from Zack. "There's the Strife cuddle nature I love!" Zack yelled, completely ignoring his paperwork.

Cloud would often bring Sora over to the SOLDIER base, where he would 'cuddle' with his brother too. The Strife's were doomed when they were born males. With Rikku as their mother, they were guaranteed to love to cuddle with everyone, especially their siblings.

They stayed like that for a while, with Cloud not getting any calls. They both drifted in and out of dozes; never quite asleep, but a lot of times not quite awake. Cloud's watch beeped, signaling the end of his shift. He waited patiently for Roxas to stretch on his lap before getting up, Cloud following.

Cloud said goodbye to his fellow SOLDIERs with his sleepy brother at his side. Just as they turned to leave the First Class area, the door across the room opened.

Sephiropth, in all his glory, stepped out of his office with a single stride. Cloud looked at him warmly. "My shift just ended General. I was just heading home."

"You know to call me Sephiropth, Cloud. I just needed to talk to you for a moment."

Cloud nodded; clearly okay with having to stay back a minute to talk to his boss. "Sure."

Electric green eyes connected with sky blue eyes as Sephiropth looked at Roxas, a hint of a smirk on his face.

"I never did get to meet your brother did I?" Sephiropth's smirk widened and Roxas felt like prey in front of a predator. Roxas wasn't ashamed to admit that he liked that feeling... a lot. "Roxas was it?"
