Author's Note: In case you didn't realize, one of the desks was empty, but I didn't tell whose name was still on it! I want to see if anyone can guess him. Also you can guess if he's dead, MIA, or he quit. I already know, but you guys don't!
Sorry for the wait, but I was loaded with a bunch of AP World History and Honors English summer work... Yeah I kind of regret taking a college class my freshmen year... but I got it done and school has started up so I hope I can get back to writing when I'm not at practice or games! I'm so sorry again! Enjoy!
Chapter 5
The name Sephiroth made everyone turn their head. At the age of ten he joined the SOLDIERs program. If that wasn't a shock, he became First Class only two years later. At first there had been uproars about having such a young child doing such dangerous work. That was proven wrong as a clip of Sephiroth at age fourteen fighting hand to hand against three robbers with guns was put on the news everywhere. No longer were their complaints about that child doing police work. They could tell he could protect himself, along with countless innocents around the area.
It wasn't a surprise at eighteen he became the General at the youngest age legally possible. Criminals everywhere feared him, and whether people want to admit it or not, crime went down a lot since Sephiroth became General. His name and face was recognizable almost everywhere around the world. It also made him a large target.
A resistance group called AVALANCHE was created by people who had been caught by Sephiroth. Many were worried about the General's safety, but deep down everyone knew Sephiroth could handle anything.
Now, at twenty-five, you could tell Sephiroth was powerful and confident. At over six foot tall, he towered over most of the SOLDIERs who were short by no means. His leather jack covered over his white shirt like a second skin, while the white shirt dipped low in a v neck, showing muscled shaped to perfection. When on missions, his shoulder guards were always in place. With his leather pants and high boots, he was the image of power and beauty.
Roxas tried not to stare as he followed Cloud and Sephiroth into the General's office. As soon as Sephiroth's back was turned to him, Cloud saw the long, imposing sword sheathed on his back. It was easily seven feet long, and if it wasn't for the curve it would stick out in awkward angles.
None of them chose to sit down in the General's rather bleak office. Aside from a computer and a lot of paperwork, there was very little memorabilia. Roxas didn't spend much time looking at his surroundings when he had a very good-looking piece of eye-candy in front of him.
Sephiroth noticed Roxas' staring, but gave no show of it. Instead he turned to the eldest Strife son, pretending to ignore the youngest for the time being. "Have you spoken to him lately?" Sephiroth asked while putting emphasis on him, knowing fully well Cloud would know who he spoke of, but Roxas wouldn't.
"You know just as much as I that he isn't in any state of mind to talk to any of us." Cloud said. Sephiroth raised an eyebrow. "I tried talking to him four days ago and he shook his head and politely asked me to leave him alone." Cloud added to hopefully satisfy the General.
Sephiroth looked as Cloud before nodded. He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted when Zack called for the oldest Strife. "Just wait right here Roxas, this will just take a second."
Roxas nodded and watched as Cloud left the office. As the door shut, he turned back to the beautiful, yet powerful man in the room. Sephiroth leaned against his desk, folding his arms across his chest, barely disguised muscles rippling smoothly. "So Roxas," Sephiroth said, the blond's name rolling off his tongue. "How do you like Radiant Garden so far?"
Roxas decided to play it cool. With a shrug, he walked over to the window. Looking out, he spoke. "From what I can tell it's okay." He said, his voice not showing whether or not he really believed so. With a smirk Roxas got an idea. He'd just have to play his cards right...
"Have you not been given a tour yet?" Sephiroth asked as he walked smoothly behind Roxas. Roxas shook his head. Sephiroth nodded. "Well we can't have that now, can we?" He asked Roxas, his smirk reflecting on the window. "Meet me here, tomorrow at twelve for the tour of a lifetime."
And with that, the General turned and walked out of the room. Roxas breathed out deeply as soon as the tips of Sephiroth's hair disappeared out the doorway, not having realized he had been holding in his precious air. Seconds later Cloud stepped back into the room, and gestured for his younger brother to follow him out.
Roxas swallowed and obeyed, following his brother outside and to Fenir. As they strapped on their helmets, Cloud asked, "Hey, do you know if Sora needed a ride home tonight, or not?"
"He said he was going to hang out with Riku." He said with a shrug. Cloud nodded.
"Well I'll give him a call to see if he wants a ride." Cloud said, pulling out his phone and snapping it open.
Sora and Riku were at the Sterling house living room, wrestling. They had tied for the first few minutes before Sora pinned Riku down and lowered his face in front of Riku's in smug satisfaction. Riku whispered something with a leer, causing Sora to blush. Riku, using the younger's moment of embarrassment to his advantage flipped their positions before sitting on Sora's stomach, with his arms crossed.
An obnoxiously loud ring tone rang from the table beside them. Sora smiled sheepishly and waited while Riku reached over and grabbed the phone. "It's Cloud." He said, handing it to
"Hey!" Sora greeted breathlessly because of Riku's weight.
"Do you need a ride home tonight?" He heard Cloud ask him.
"Do I need a ride home?" Sora asked as he pulled the phone away from his body. Riku shook his head no.
"I can take you home tomorrow if you want to spend the night." Riku said, ruffling the brunette's hair affectionately. Sora nodded.
"Nah, Riku said if I want to spend the night at his house I can get a ride from him tomorrow." He said after pulling the phone back to his ear. He rolled his eyes as his brother asked if he was sure. "Yeah, I'm positive. 'Kay, tell Roxas I say bye!"
After a gruff goodbye, Sora closed his phone with a snap. Riku carefully plucked the phone from his hands and set it back on the table. "Now, where were we?"
Sora's eyes widened. "I think you were about to let me up because you're the nicest friend in the world" Sora said quickly. Riku's eyes darkened playfully.
"I'm not so sure."
Roxas heard Cloud walk through the door and lean on the door frame. "Well Roxas I'm going to head to bed. I'm getting up around eight to leave and hang out with Zack. Do you want me to wake you up then?" Roxas looked at the clock. It was an hour until midnight.
"No thanks. I'm just going to set my alarm for ten. I'm going to head out around twelve to meet up with someone I met yesterday." He looked back at the television, not really watching.
"Okay then, sweet dreams Rox." And with that Cloud was gone. Roxas waited until midnight to walk upstairs. Grabbing his phone, he dialed in the familiar number of a childhood friend he had met who moved to Radiant Gardens. Hoping he was still there, he rifled through his clothing as he waited for the other to pick up.
"What do you want?" A velvety voice half yelled through the phone.
"It's Roxas." Roxas said simply as he pulled one of his particularly hot shirts off the hanger.
"Oh it's Roxy." The voice purred. "I haven't talked to you in so long, too long in fact."
"I was wondering if you could come pick me up, take me somewhere." Roxas said with a smirk.
"Sure hot stuff. I know just the bar." The voice said slyly.
"Thanks Seifer." After telling him his address, Roxas barely had time to slip on his netted shirt and tight skinny jeans before he heard Seifer's jeep pull up, cursing at its loud roar. Slipping on his lace up boots, he left them unlaced as he grabbed his phone and some money. Grabbing his belt and choker necklace, he slipped them on along with a handful of rings before quietly leaving his room. Tip toeing down the stairs to not wake up his brother, he breathed a sigh of relief as he reached the front door.
Opening the door, he was Seifer in the driver's seat with a group of people all over the jeep. One was in the passenger, while a handful was in the back, some sitting some leaning against the side. Roxas lit a cigarette before he smirked and strode over to the jeep, accepting the hand that pulled him in the back. He looked around and saw everyone was dressed as hot as he was while some were shirtless shirts while others already held bottles of beers.
Roxas leaned against whoever was near him, completely comfortable with the type of scene. It was the only one he wanted, the only one he knew.
Inside, Cloud leaned against the wall of the living room with the lights off, staring out the huge open window. He had already been downstairs when the jeep with the wrong crowd pulled up, just thinking. He grew suspicious though as he heard light footsteps descend the steps. Roxas appeared, wearing obvious clubbing clothes. Cloud had to admit, even as his brother, Roxas looked fucking hot. He held his breath as he saw Roxas outside the window take a drag from his cigarette he had lit and accepted a closed beer from one of the guys.
Cloud knew that Roxas might have some problems after living with that freak of a father. He just hadn't expected this.
