AHHH! AN UPDATE! THIS IS CRAZY! I finally got around to it. I really wanted this chapter to be long, and I thought it was but...hahahaha, no. I really need to work on that because I realize now that if I was reading these, I'd want more than this small stuff I'm giving. I'm not even sure if this story is good or not but whatever! Atleast I updated, right? The song used in this is Bleed by Hot Chelle Rae andddd uhm, yerp!
Disclaimer: I do not own the song Bleed by Hot Chelle Rae or Kingdom Hearts...if that wasn't already obvious :)
Terra and Xion entered the kitchen and she gave a small gasp as she saw silver hair cascading down a backside that belonged to Riku. Terra smiled down at her, giving her a small nudge, "C'mon, don't be shy," he whispered in her ear.
They walked up to the two sitting on the stools and Terra began the introductions.
"Xion, this is Riku and Axel. Axel and Riku, this is—"
"Xion? That nerdy chick? No way that's you!" Axel exclaimed, rubbing his eyes as if it would erase some magical charm she put on herself.
"Uh yeah…hi Axel," she said, giving him a small wave. No smile was included though because she knew that that was him calling her a stupid nerd earlier that day.
"Wow, you look like a whole different person. Who knew such a nerd could—" Riku nudged Axel in the stomach with his elbow. "Ow man, what was that for?" he asked, rubbing his stomach.
Riku just rolled his eyes and turned back to Xion. "So it really is her," he thought to himself. He gave a small smile, "Hey Xion."
Terra looked at the scene before him, "So I guess you all know each other already?"
The three nodded and he sat on a stool, leaving one open for Xion between him and Riku.
"So…" Xion said, feeling awkward as ever between the two boys. "How come I've never seen you at school before?" she asked, turning to Terra.
"Oh well, I go to Radiant Garden High, not Destiny Islands. But me and Riku know each other through the lacrosse team," he said, nodding over to Riku.
"Ohh…well uhm, that's cool," she said, feeling so out of place. Small talk was definitely not her forte. "What happened to that sexy cool girl on the dance floor? Get it together Xion!" she thought to herself.
Taking a deep breath, she turned back to Terra, ready to flirt away. Or at least attempt to, but he was already off the stool, drooling over some girl at the snack table.
Her mouth hung open in disbelief as he mumbled to her, "Hey I'm uh…gonna get us some drinks. I'll be right back." And he scrambled off like a puppy after a bone.
"Yeah right," she mumbled to herself, turning back towards the counter in defeat.
"Hey, don't get all worked up over Terra. He has a small attention span and gets easily distracted by girls," Riku said, giving a small chuckle.
"Well I'm a girl too, aren't I?" Xion thought to herself.
"I don't know why he would take his eyes off of you though," Riku said, thinking out loud. "Crap, did I just say that out loud?" he looked down, feeling embarrassed.
Xion blushed and gave a small smile, "Thanks."
"WELL, this is getting a bit too lovey dovey for me, kiddos. I think I'm gonna go dance," Axel said getting up with a stretch, looking off to the dance floor. His eyes caught a little blonde who knew how to shake his hips. Licking his lips he put a hand on Riku's shoulder and bent down, whispering in his ear, "Don't forget you have a girlfriend."
"I should be saying the same to you, Axel," Riku whispered right back.
"Whatever man," Axel said aloud, waving him off and he began to shimmy to the dance floor. "LET THE REAL PARTY BEGIN!" he yelled.
Xion laughed, "If he wasn't such a jerk to me, I think I would actually like to be friends with that Axel character."
Riku looked at her and chuckled, "Even when you're his friend, he's still a jerk."
"Yeah, I can see that," Xion said laughing again.
Riku liked the sound of her laugh. He smiled back at her and scratched his head. "So…about this tutoring thing. I guess we could meet up sometime, maybe at your place?"
"No!" Xion said, automatically. Riku scrunched his face in confusion. "I-I mean…I just think it would be better if we maybe did it at…the library! Where there's a bunch of books full of the stuff we need to study…you know?"
Riku hummed in agreement. "Oh yeah, I guess that would make sense."
"Any other place would be better than having to face dad," She thought to herself, wincing.
"Something the matter?" Riku asked, in concern.
"Oh, no, no! Everything's fine…just fine," she said, putting on a small smile.
Before anything could get anymore awkward, a new song began to play.
I feel like I'm drowning in ice water
My lips have turned a shade of blue
Xion gasped, "I love this song!"
"So do I," Riku said softly. "You uh…you wanna dance?" He asked, putting out his hand.
"…Sure," Xion said, hesitantly putting her hand in his.
He led her back over to the dance floor, where couples were slow dancing intimately to the song. He carefully wrapped his hands around her waist and she put hers on his shoulders and they began to move side to side.
"Uhm…Kairi, I think you should look at this," Namine said, pointing her over to the dance floor where Riku was dancing.
"Is that, XION?" Kairi shrieked, squeezing her cup so hard it exploded out of her hand.
Other guests looked at her like she was crazy.
"How DARE she try and steal my boyfriend. She is going to pay. C'mon Namine, we gotta find Larxene," she said, grabbing Namine by the wrist and dragging her down the hallway.
"D-don't you think you should be a little rational, Kairi?" Namine fretted.
"I AM being rational Namine! What would you do if Axel was up on some other girl?" Kairi said, turning her head, to give her a glare.
Namine shut her mouth at this, knowing she would do the same…but probably not as drastic as whatever Kairi's cooking up in her brain.
I bleed my heart out on this paper, for you
So you can see what I can't say
"You know…I'm sorry if I've ever acted like a jerk to you before…" Riku said, looking down at the petite girl in his arms.
Xion shook her head, "No, no…it's never been you who said those things. It kind of surprises me actually. You're like…the leader of your group and it seems like you're the only one who doesn't act so mean…" she said looking down.
"Well, I just know that's it's not right to pick on people like that," Riku said.
"What a goody goody," Xion said, giving a playful smile.
"Hey! There's nothing wrong with being good. And you aren't a goody goody?" he asked, smirking.
Xion rolled her eyes, "Whatever." She smiled and looked up at him. "Y'know, if I didn't have to tutor you, I probably wouldn't be here."
"Actually, I think if you didn't get hit in the face by a football you wouldn't be here," Riku said, snickering.
"Hey! That's not funny! That really hurt," she said, softly touching the bruise under her raven hair. "What happened to goody goody Riku?" she asked with a frown.
Riku laughed, "He's still here! But that was—"
"Riku, Riku! You gotta help! Larxene is so drunk right now!" Kari said, holding Larxene, One arm wrapped around her shoulder.
Riku turned around and Kairi brought Larxene up to them. Her face looked pale and faintly green and she mumbled, "Oh god, I'm about to—"
Before she could finish her sentence, she threw up and the nasty concoction landed right on Xion. She stood there frozen, feeling the gross mess seep down her new dress.
Kairi looked at her with fake surprise. "Oh my gosh, Xion!" She went up to her and gave a small wiff. "You stink," she said, scrunching her nose.
The crowd around them all laughed and Xion just stood there, embarrassed and furious at Kairi. She knew she did this on purpose. There was no other way around it. Before tears could begin to stream down her cheeks, she ran through the people and out the door.
Kairi shook her head in disappointment, "What a hot mess."
Riku just looked at her in disbelief. "Why would you do that Kairi?"
"What are you talking about sweety?" she said with fake innocence. "I was just trying to help my friend. Now c'mon," grabbing his hand and pushing Larxene towards the bathroom, "we need some alone time."
Riku looked back to the front door, wanting to go back to Xion, but was dragged away by the evil Queen Bitch Kairi.
Roxas reluctantly pushed away from the steamy kiss he was having with such a beautiful red headed creature as he saw his best friend run out of the house in tears.
"I-I'm sorry, but I've really got to help my friend," Roxas said, giving the red head one last chaste kiss and turning away from him.
"Wait!" Axel said, reaching out to him. But Roxas was already long gone. "I didn't even get to know your name…" He said, softly.
Poor Axel, it's like he's the prince and Roxas is Cinderella. And Kairi, who knew she would stoop that low? -Everybody in the world raises their hand-.
...Yeah, I guess that was pretty obvious. Hopefully this fanfic won't turn out so bad. I need to get to the juicy stuff already! But in the meantime, you should definitely review this. And read my one shot I wrote as a spur of the moment thing. I've already started writing a new fanfic that is SoRiku, andddd if I may say so, I think it's going to be good :)
But okay, I swear, I'm done talking...typing...whatever! REVIEW AWAY!
