The Perfection of Imperfections

Chapter 6

Sora took a long breath and watched it turn into a little cloud in front of him. He shuffled into the frozen food section of the supermarket and waited for the cold air to stick to his skin and force it to break out into goose bumps.

The brunette lazily scanned the freezers and his reflection in them. Another sigh fell from his lips as he tilted his head to peer around his shoulder in search for Riku and Kairi. And he found them. In the exact same embrace they had been in for the past five minutes. Sora bit back a weary moan of boredom.

It had been 36 hours since the after party and Riku and Kairi had basically been inseparable since then, whether they were texting each other, on the phone or attached at the mouth. Sora leaned on a freezer, hoping no one would need in there any time soon.

The reason Sora was in the supermarket was that Riku and Kairi had invited him to Riku's house with a few other people to watch a movie or have a drink but the group hadn't even made it past the frozen food section and it had been twenty minutes!

Sora checked on his friends again and finding them now in a hug while muttering sweet (freaking) nothings to each other, Sora thumped his head back onto the freezer door, giving the high ceiling and blaring lights of the supermarket a half-assed glare.

Roxas' half assed smirk suddenly flashed in his mind and Sora straightened up immediately, on guard and as though the blonde was nearby. A twinge of embarrassment then crumpled Sora's posture. The brunette wasn't sure why, but the same faded humiliation had been hanging over him since he woke up from the party, he felt like he had made himself shamefully vulnerable and weak at some point.

And it had something to do with Roxas.

Sora tugged at his spikes and slumped against the glass door of the freezer.

The drained teenager let his eyes glance to his friends and nearly jumped for joy when he found him, hand in hand, walking towards him.

"Finally!" Sora cheered, pushing himself from the door to stand up properly, "Now, let's go get a movie to watch and some food."

And off the suddenly re-energized teenager hopped, through the frozen food aisle, storming through the icy air, not giving it a chance to stick to his cold skin.

Until, while leaving the aisle , Sora took a second glance around his shoulder and found Riku and Kairi slowing to a stop as he whispered something to her. Sora groaned in defiance and was effectively ignored and so, stomping as much as he could, he decided he would get the DVD and food.

The brisk air of the frozen food section soon melted into room temperature as he stormed across to another aisle and then wheeling to a stop, and not bothering to look for Riku and Kairi, Sora scanned the shelves for a good movie that would distract him from anything for at least three hours. But as Sora concentrated on the shelves, a sudden movement of blonde caught his eye. Cobalt eyes followed where the blonde had vanished and Sora suddenly found himself staring at Roxas' back.

Blonde curving spikes, slouched posture; it was definitely Roxas merely a few feet away and looking over the shelves of horror films. A long, quiet pause smothered the moment as Sora could suddenly taste a memory of alcohol and the after party and busy shoppers and the people of wherever pasted in between Sora and Roxas (still unaware of Sora), keeping them apart.

Sora quietly watched and listened to Roxas tilt his head up in boredom and sigh I some numb awe as his heart trembled. The brunette felt embarrassed.

But… Roxas and he were friends so, it was high time he said hello, hi, salut, anything to the daydreaming blonde and bloody hell did Sora want to talk to Roxas! But a faded embarrassment still stung at his confidence. People continued to pass between the two teenagers.

Sora wanted to talk to Roxas although it just felt impossible! Another gaggle of people passed in between the two.

Just talk, Sora! He chanted to himself. It's easy, you do it all the time-

Roxas suddenly swung around on his heel and halted to a stop when his eyes fell upon Sora's own. Sora could feel a bubble of excitement fill his chest, ready to burst at any second. His heart thundered and a small smile crept onto his lips.

"Hi, Roxas." Sora half-waved, eyes locked onto the others.

"Hey, Sora." Hearing his name on Roxas nearly smiling lips, the bubble expanded but then some more people weaved in between the two, Roxas eyes left Sora's and followed the group passing.

"So, I'll see you around, bye." The blonde suddenly nodded to Sora and with a half smile, the blonde stalked off and around a corner, out of sight before Sora could reply.

Sora stood, dumbfounded and slightly insulted, trying to comprehend what had happened; trying to decide if he had done something wrong or if Roxas was an ass.

Roxas was an ass.

The frustrated brunette heard the words loud and clear in his mind and as much as he knew, in this situation, Roxas was an ass; he couldn't bring himself to believe it fully and decided against wasting the effort in trying to do so.

And so Sora came to the conclusion that he had done something wrong and a creeping feeling, the sudden memory of lips and that same stinging dose of embarrassment had him all the more worried.

Stupid Roxas.

please review! I know its short, not much happened BUT i think its important to one of the main themes of the story - don't worry the next has lots n lots of contact with Roxas and Sora isnt drunk or nuutin :D
