RoomOnFire sorry took so long to update, thanks. Lalala don't really know what Sora feels for Axel, but it seems to be something. Guess we'll have to wait to find out. Chocolove I enjoy seeing it too. Nothing wrong with that. ChaosHarbor will find out soon who he was with. Don't know about poor Sora though, I mean he could be nicer to Axel or something. CrazedPanda93 thanks. Thank you everyone for reading and reviewing.

Chapter 7 Curiosity and Jealousy

Music poured throughout the room, reaching into every area of the club. People danced and danced, sweat covering their bodies, until thirst overtook them. Then they would take a break for a drink and chat with friends or people they were trying to pick up. Not far from the bar sat Riku and his friends, along with the girls they had met earlier. None of them had been to the dance floor, content with talking and watching the other people in the club.

Even with everything going on, Riku found the situation quite dull. He did not have any interest in the girls that had joined up with them. Looking around for someone else to catch his interest he found himself disappointed. It was hard for him to understand how out of all the people there, girls and guys, there was no one he wanted to try to hook up with.

Riku let out a sigh and looked towards Roxas who was talking to the female Rikku. Roxas, being the nice guy that he was, at least to peoples faces, was listening politely. But Riku could tell he wasn't interested in her either. It wasn't that she wasn't pretty, she was. She was just to bubbly for them.

"Rikku!" was suddenly heard from somewhere not that far away. Everyone turned their attention to the direction that it had come from. Riku heard as Rikku let out a sigh of her own obviously disappointed at finding out who had called her name. There at the bar was a guy with spiky blond hair. With him was the brunet from the bus.

' This night may get interesting yet.' Riku thought and a smirk appeared on his face. He leaned over to talk to Roxas.

"That is the guy that was with the red head guy on the bus."

"Yeah, I recognized him too. Wonder if his friend is here. Seifer would probably love a chance to finish the fight from earlier." Roxas replied.

"I don't see him, but it may be fun to play with this guy. He looks like he is hoping we don't recognize him." Riku said. Riku noticed that the two were heading in their direction, although it appeared the brunet was reluctant about doing so. He heard as the blond said hello and Rikku answered back.

"I was thinking maybe would could dance later." the blond said. Riku decided to take it upon himself to answer for her. He wanted to see what kind of reaction he could get out of the brunet.

"Why would she want to dance with you when she could dance with one of us?" Riku said. He noticed that the brunet peaked around his friend to see who had talked.

"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to her. Would you mind staying out of it?" Riku heard the blond say. He really didn't care about whether she danced with the guy or not, actually he would be happy if she did. Then she would be away from them, but he wasn't finished playing with the brunet. He wanted to make him uncomfortable.

"She is here with us, so get lost." he said. He looked around the blond to where the brunet was standing and smirked. Riku figured that the smirk would let him know they did remember him. He could see in the brunet's eyes that he understood. Seifer stood up and pointed towards the brunet.

"Hey, you, twerp. Where's your friend from earlier? I still have business with him."

The blond turned to face the other, a confused look on his face, "Sora, do you know these guys?"

'So his name is Sora. I'll have to remember that.' Riku thought.

"No, I don't know them." Sora said, shaking his head. Riku wondered if there was a reason for Sora's lie. It wasn't really a lie, he didn't know them, but he didn't seemed to want the blond to know that he had seen them before.

"You mean you forgot us already? I find that hard to believe. So, where is your friend?" Seifer said.

"He is not my friend and I don't know where he is. He took off." Sora said. Riku didn't miss the slight look of fear that went through his eyes. He decided to question further.

"Not your friend? Perhaps your boyfriend? You two looked awfully close." Riku said. Again that look of fear passed through the others eyes, like he was scared of getting caught.

"We aren't close. Not at all. I don't even like him." Sora answered. Riku eyed him. He wasn't buying that. When he had seen the two of them together earlier it didn't seem like Sora didn't like the other guy. But it didn't appear Sora was going to be admitting that. Riku decided to let it go and shrugged his shoulders.

"He doesn't know where he is, Seifer. Just drop it." Riku told his friend.

"I think he is lying, but whatever. Anyway, why don't you two twerps get lost. As you have already been told the girl is here with us." Seifer said. Sora whispered something to his friend and the two went off, which caused Seifer and the others to laugh at them. All but Riku. He was too curious to laugh.

Riku went up to the bar after saying he was going to get another drink. In truth he wanted to see where Sora and his friend had went. After ordering he looked around and spotted them at a table at the end of the bar. Sora handed a drink to a girl and sat down next to her. He was only sitting for a few minutes when Riku saw him turn to the girl and say something to her. She smiled when she responded and Sora grabbed her hand and pulled her to the dance floor.

The dance floor was to crowded for Riku to watch them there. He grabbed his new drink and returned to his friends. Riku indicated to Roxas that he was going to the floor. Roxas nodded and got up to join him. He walk through the crowd of dancing people until he spotted Sora and the girl. Roxas noticed them and raised a brow at Riku.

"Just think he is hiding something." Riku said. Roxas shrugged and started dancing. Riku danced along while watching Sora move to the music. Sora seemed oblivious to everything but the music and the girl he was with, but Sora wasn't paying that much attention to her either. Something caught his eye and he looked passed Sora. There was the red head from the bus dancing with a guy. Looking back to Sora it didn't seem to Riku that Sora knew the guy was there. Curious to see what would happen, Riku walked closer to Sora and grabbed his arm.

"I guess you weren't lying when you said that guy wasn't your boyfriend." Riku said into his ear. He nodded his head not far from where they were at. Sora looked in that direction. Sora stood there watching the red head for a while before turning and walking away. Riku saw the look of hurt on his face.

"Don't like him at all, huh? Doesn't seem that way to me." Riku said to himself. He felt somewhat satisfied and return to dancing with Roxas. Roxas looked at him confused, but he was use to Riku strange habits and ignored it.

The night ended quickly after that. On the bus ride back home Wakka and Tidus told them that they had gotten phone numbers from the two girls they had been interested in. Cloud and Leon were happy to be away from the girls that had been bugging them all night. Seifer was complaining because no one would let him fight the red head when he saw him at the club. Zexion was attempting to calm him down and failing at it. Roxas watched as Riku sat deep in thought.

Riku was thinking about what had happened at the club. He could not help but wonder what Sora's relationship with the red head and the girl he was dancing with was.

"Are you thinking about that guy?" Roxas quietly asked him.

"Just trying to figure out what was going on with him. He said he didn't like that guy at all so why was he upset when he saw him dancing with that other guy?"

"Does it really matter? It's not like we know him and we probably won't be back over here for a while. So we will probably not see him again."

"Yeah, you're right."

"Did you like him?" Roxas asked, a hint of jealousy appearing in his voice. Riku smiled.

"No, of course not. Just though he could be fun to play with. No reason for you to be jealous."

"Like I would be."

"No? Are you sure?" Riku asked as he leaned over and whispered in Roxas' ear. Riku licked the outline of the ear and then pulled the lobe with his teeth, teasing Roxas. Roxas shivered at the action, his ear was sensitive and Riku knew this.

"Don't start something you don't intend on finishing." Roxas said, trying to pull away.

"Who says I don't." Riku said. He pulled Roxas back to him and moved from his ear to his neck, kissing and licking on his way down.

"Can't you wait until you get home?" Seifer asked them. Roxas pulled completely away from Riku before he could attempt to take things any further on the bus. He had tried that before so Roxas wasn't taking any chances.

"What Seifer? Are you jealous again?" Riku asked.

"Go to hell Riku. I'm not in the mood for your jokes. I'm also not in the mood to see you and your boyfriend get it on on the bus." Seifer answered.

"I'm not his boyfriend, you ass." Roxas yelled. Seifer just gave them both a 'yeah right' look.

Riku glared at Seifer before turning his attention out the window. He watched as the buildings went by in the dark, the moon only granting them a little bit of its light. Tonight had been interesting after the arrival of the brunet he now knew as Sora. Everything about Sora just screamed innocence. Everything, that is, except his eyes. His eyes held something else, something almost dark. Eyes that spoke volumes of betrayal and pain. And fear. It was something most people would probably miss unless they were looking for something like that, but Riku had seen it. Riku wondered about the cause. What could cause such an innocent young man to have eyes like that? Not that it matter, Roxas was probably right when he said they probably would not see him again. The had met people on that side of town before that they have yet to meet since.

"Hey, you plan on staying on the bus all night or are you getting off with everyone else." Roxas said interrupting Riku's thoughts. He had been so lost in thought that he didn't notice that the bus had arrived at their stop. Riku stood up to exit the bus.

"I'm getting off."

Roxas watched as Riku walked away wondering what he had been thinking about. He had an idea and it didn't make him happy. Roxas didn't like how much attention Riku had paid to that brunet at the club. He could not understand why Riku seemed to be so interested in the kid. Jealous. That was something he could not deny. He was jealous the kid had been able to hold Riku's interest like that. Jealous that Riku had went out of his way to watch him. But he should not be jealous, after all Roxas was the one Riku always returned to. He may play around for a while, but he never stayed with anyone. Then he would be back next to Roxas. Even if Riku saw the kid again, it would be no different with him. And Roxas knew he could not admit to feeling jealousy to Riku. That would cause Riku to distance himself from him.

In truth, Roxas knew how the others saw the two of them and it made him happy. If they saw them like that they would not go after Riku themselves. Riku didn't want a relationship, but they all thought he would change his mind. And when he did Roxas wanted to be the one he chose. He did have feelings for Riku, but again that was something he could not confess, or he would lose him. Roxas resented Riku's parents for causing him to have his views on love.

Roxas ran to catch up to Riku, who had not waited for him to exit the bus before he started walking towards home. When he finally caught up to him Roxas wrapped his arm around Riku's waist.

"So, you said you intended on finishing what you started." Roxas said, a sly smile appearing on his face. Riku turned his head slightly to look at him.

"Thought you didn't want me to."

"I do. Just not on the bus. And I didn't feel like listening to Seifer bitch about it."

"You should be use to that by now, since he does it all the time."

"I know, but I didn't want to hear it tonight. He should stop worrying about beating people up all the time and find someone to sleep with. That guy is in need of some sex."

"You tell him that he will think you are offering."

"Not a chance. I like the guy, but no way am I having sex with him." Roxas said.

"Not even going to give him a chance, huh? Too bad, he might be great in bed and now you'll never know."

"Then I won't know what I am missing out on. I'm fine with that."

Riku laughed, "I figured you were. Come on. No more talk about Seifer's sex life or lack thereof. I can think of better things to spend our time doing."

Riku grabbed the arm that was wrapped around him and pulled Roxas the rest of the way to his house. Roxas was not resisting him so he didn't have to pull to hard. The two entered the house and made their way to Riku's room. After quietly shutting the door, to keep from waking up his mother if she was even home, Riku pushed Roxas onto the bed. Roxas moved into a better position and Riku climbed on top of him, quickly taking Roxas' lips with his own. Riku's hand started roaming over the body underneath him. This was not a first for them. They had been together many times and would continue to in the future.

Phone conversation somewhere else

"I wasn't expecting to hear from you. It has been a long time."

"I know, but I had things to work through. I didn't think I could face you properly before. But things are different now, and I am ready"

"Ready? What do you mean, you are ready?"

"To face you. I have decided it is time for you to come live with me for a while. You have been there long enough. She had her chance and failed, now it is my turn."

"I don't understand what you mean. How did she fail?"

"It is alright if you don't understand. She does. She agrees with me. You will be coming to live with me. I will be there to get you in a week. Be ready then."

TBC

This chapter was shorter than the others, I know. I'm sorry. You will have to use your imagination on the scene I didn't write between Riku and Roxas. I have said I don't know if I will write sex or just leave it implied. Maybe for Riku and Sora but probably not for anyone else. Also, in my views this story has 4 main characters, with Riku and Sora being the main 2, then Axel and Roxas. Everyone else, at this point are minor characters and I probably won't be dealing much with relationships with them. It is hard to try to set up a bunch of characters in relationships without going away from the main people. I complicated things once again with Roxas' feelings. Complications are good, too easy is not good. At least not in this story. Hope it keeps people interested. I know this chapter was not the best, but it all goes towards the future, I hope. Please review. I love reviews. They are good.
