Chapter 2: Arguments
Knock, knock, knock!
"Sora, get the damn door!" Cloud yelled from in the shower.
"Fine!" Sora yelled back. Looking at his self he realized that he couldn't answer the door in just his boxer. Looking around the room he threw on a dirty pair of pants. The brunet hurried out of his dirty room glancing at the clock as he left. It was almost eleven thirty. 'God, I hate Saturday mornings!' Sora thought as he reached the door.
Sora opened the door. Vincent stood there in white leather pants and a white tank top. His leather coat was unzipped half way.
The brunet smiled and jumped on Vincent. The men had a friendly relationship towards each other. Both knew that they could count on each. Vincent always had the need to protect young Sora because he was the youngest in their group of friends and was the liveliest of them all. Vincent knew when to cheer the brunet up and when to avoid him. Sora loved Vincent like a five-year-old loved his uncle, because he was there for him. That and the raven haired man could take a joke for what it was.
The raven haired man stumbled back and laughed, "Hey I love you too, but it's early and I need to breathe." Sora responded by gripping tighter.
Vincent shook his head and maneuvered them towards the couch. Once in front of the couch, Vincent pried Sora off of him and threw Sora onto the couch.
Sora smiled and got up. The brunet walked into the kitchen to get something to eat. Vincent came in after a few seconds, "Where's Cloud?"
Sora pulled out a bowl, "In the shower still."
Vincent shrugged and started the coffee pot.
"Sora, who was that at the door?" Cloud yelled from in the bathroom.
Sora glanced at Vincent and Vincent raised a finger to his lips. Sora smirked, "No one."
Vincent took that as his cue to go and have his fun. He got up and headed into the bathroom.
Quietly, Vincent opened the shower door and squeezed the blonde's ass. Cloud screamed bloody murder and jumped. The raven haired man fell on his butt.
In the kitchen, Sora was laughing while trying to eat his cereal.
Cloud came bursting into the kitchen ten minutes later, dressed. The blond smacked Sora on the head, "God damn Sora! He scared the shit out of me!"
Sora pouted, "Why'd you hit me?" he rubbed the spot where he got hit. Vincent walked in and also rubbed the spot where he got hit. As he walked in he grumbled something about men having their periods.
Cloud poured himself some coffee and sat across from Sora, "You deserved it. You said that no one was there."
Vincent sat in between Cloud and Sora, "Thanks for the help, kid. Only I wish I hadn't been hit in the process." Vincent glared at the man who had committed the crime, "If only I had a camera!" Then as an after thought, "Leon is going to kill me!"
Sora frowned at the kid comment and continued to eat. One of Sora's many pet peeves was to be called kid. He was always shorter than people his age, so he was always called kid. The older man knew this but loved to call him this anyway. Sora knew it was just for fun, but it still sort of hurt, because it brought up some things that really were complicated.
"Yes, he will know because I'm going to tell him!" Cloud snapped. His face got really red. 'serves the bastard right! Sneaking up on me like that! Having Vincent in the shower with me… eww I should have scrubbed myself harder.'
"So Sora, I heard you thought Riku was a girl. He flipped when he found out." The raven haired one said, taking a sip of Cloud's coffee cup.
The brunet slid down in his seat and blushed. He had hoped that they would have forgotten about that. Cloud laughed, "Yeah, and didn't you say something about him being cute?"
"Well, now that you met Riku, do you like him?" Vincent asked. He wiggled his eyebrows, "If not him then me?" the older man tried to keep a straight face.
"NO! Eww, no. Sorry not that way." Sora exclaimed with a frown, "Besides he said I looked sixteen. Which I do NOT look like!" he nodded which looked like he was trying to convince himself more than others
"Get over it, baby. How many people call you sixteen?" Vincent retorted. He grabbed Sora's spoon out of his hand and took a bite of Sora's cereal.
Sora mumbled, "Everyone." The brunet swatted Vincent's hand away and growled, "My cereal thank you very much. Get your own freeloader!" The blond who was drinking his coffee was oblivious to it all, "Hey, Sora you coming to the mall with us?"
"Sure, let me get dress." Sora stood up and put the now empty bowl in the sink. The young brunet went into his room to change or to hopefully at least find clean clothes.
Ten minutes later the three of them went outside to wait for Leon and Riku.
The door swung open and Leon stepped outside, swinging his keys around. Behind the tall brunet was Riku, who was smirking.
"Took you long enough." Vincent said to Leon and leaned against the car.
Leon glared at the raven haired man for leaning on his car and kissed his boyfriend on the mouth.
"Hey Riku, I thought you had to practice today?" Cloud asked Riku, a little breathless, but smiling nonetheless.
"Uh, nope. Zell's mom came to visit, so they went out." Zell is one of Riku's friends. They're close in friendship and they share the same thoughts in music. The silver haired man walked up to Sora, "Hey Sora, guess what I found out."
Instantly, Sora knew what Riku was talking about and blushed. He noticed the blush, but continued on. "I have one question: Do I really look like a girl?"
Leon laughed as he got into the driver's seat of the red Thunderbird. Cloud sat in the passenger's seat and watched with interest. Vincent crawled into the backseat and pulled out his MP3 player. Car rides always seemed to bore him to sleep.
Sora stood there and thought of something, "Yes, why do you want me to buy you a dress?" the young brunet turned around and hopped into the backseat, sitting in the middle. Riku stood there stunned. Finally he realized where Sora had gone off to and also climbed into the backseat, "I'll only wear it if you pick it out."
"But I don't think you'll like a sixteen year old style." Sora retorted and stared out the window. Leon shook his head and started the car. Sometimes the adults acted too much like kids when it came to fighting. It really made him think about their intelligence levels.
"Don't tell me you're going to throw a fit now. You're nineteen, but you look sixteen, so I'm sorry. It's not like I did it on purpose just to spite you, although it could be fun." Riku crossed his arms and glared out the window. He was getting a headache real fast.
"I know nothing about you!" Sora gasped, he frowned, and "I don't have to listen to you." He crossed his arms and stuck up his nose stubbornly.
"So, we've only met yesterday. We could still be friends after a day, ya know." Riku he looked back to the younger one and raised his eyebrow. "More like this morning." Sora retorted.
Riku threw his hands in the air, "You're impossible! I'm trying to be nice." He had to bite back the snarl that threaten to appear. "Whatever!" Sora turned his back to him as best as he could with it being crowded back there.
Up front, the couple was talking.
"Guess who scared the living day lights outta me, while I was in the shower." Cloud asked while looking up at the sky.
Leon cringed as they reached the parking lot, "I bet I know who. If it's Vincent I'm going to kick his ass, again."
Cloud laughed, "Start kicking. He decided a little ass grabbing was in order. Oh and Sora helped him. That brat told me no one was there!"
Leon growled and yelled Vincent's name. Cloud belonged to no one but him. That meant that no one under any circumstances could touch him. Him and the raven haired man in the back had, had this conversation already. Vincent just barely heard his name. He took off his earphones and stopped the music.
"Yes?" Vincent put his MP3 in his pocket and put his hand on the door. He had a feeling he knew what this was about and he wanted out of there really fast.
"I'm going to kick the shit out of you! Cloud is my property!" Leon declared opening the car door. The said blond's eyebrow raised his eyebrow at the property comment.
Vincent was faster and was already towards the entrance. Cloud sighed and mumbled, "At least he parked the car this time." He got out and started to walk towards the entrance, "Sora, meet us in the food court in half an hour!" The blond mumbled something about having a nice little 'chat' about the property comment.
Sora mumbled something inaudible. "What did you say, Sora?" Riku asked. The silver haired one smirked as he stepped out of the Thunderbird. "Why do I have to be left with you?" Sora repeated and got out of the car. The brunet stumbled out of the car.
"Because we are destined to be together. Don't fight destiny, it's a bitch. Believe me I've tried." Riku looked at Sora, "What do you need do to here?" Riku asked as they reached the busy mall.
"Clothes shopping, maybe a few other things. Nothing really in particular. I just wanted to get out." Sora shrugged, forgetting about their fight earlier. He started to walk in the direction of 'Aeropostale'. That place had all the bright and fun colors.
Riku saw where Sora was headed and grabbed his upper arm, "Oh no kid, I don't think so." Riku guided them into 'Hot Topic'. This is were all the darker colors are.
"Ah, Riku? I've never been in here before." Sora whispered as they entered.
Riku looked shocked and shook his head, "Why am I not surprised? Here we'll find something that'll fit." Riku let go of Sora's arm. Sora followed close by. Sora grew fascinated by all the stuff, most of the stuff he'd only seen in movies. Some he had even seen in school, but he never thought he'd ever wear any of it.
As they passed a rack pf pants, Sora stopped, "Wow, these are cool!"
The pants are blacked colored, with the hem of the pants pure white. On the legs was a skull with bones making and 'x'. That was white, too. There were many pockets and chains.
Riku looked at them and smiled, "They'd look perfect on you, but you'll need to find a smaller size than that. Stay right here, I know what shirt you should get." Riku turned and left.
Sora spotted and rack full of chokers and bracelets. The brunet thought he'd was in heaven, all this stuff was really neat.
Riku found the shirt and came back to his friend, "See anything you like?" He whispered in Sora's ear. Sora shuddered. His ear happened to be very sensitive, although no one knew about it. The young brunet drew in a breath and turned to face Riku.
"What did you find?" Riku held up a black shirt that had Vash's face on it. Sora squealed. He absolutely loves anime. His favorite happened to be Tri-Gun. He always knew that if he could he would want to be Vash unlike anyone else.
Sora took the shirt and hugged Riku. Letting go of his friend, Sora when back to the bracelets, he picked out a few more.
"Hey Sora, did you know I'm in a band? I'm the lead singer and guitarist." Sora looked at Riku in awe, "That's awesome!" Sora had wanted to learn how to play the guitar, but no one would teach him. Plus he didn't think he would have the patience to sit still for that long.
Riku smiled and nodded, "Yea well we're performing tonight and I wanted to know if you wanted to come watch us play?" He looked over at Sora, "That would be awesome! What kind of music do you play?' Sora asked fingering a black choker.
"Mostly rock and metal. You can just come down with Leon and them. They are going, so there's your ride." Riku grabbed the choker and a few bracelets and handed them to Sora, "If you want them, buy them. Your money" Sora did and they went in search of the others.
They were in the food court arguing.
Sora and Riku took their seats, across from Cloud and Leon, but next to Vincent. The brunet mentioned something about food and got up to get in the Taco Bell line.
Vincent who desperately needed the subject to change before he was killed, "Hey Riku, it's not nice to make Sora carry your things. If you want him to carry your stuff at least, pay him."
Riku grabbed some of Vincent's fries, "They aren't mine."
"Ha, that's funny; I thought you just said they weren't yours." Cloud said taking a sip of his soda. Cloud raised his eyebrow and stared at the silvered haired man.
"I did." Riku said simply. He couldn't figure out why they couldn't get this simple fact.
"Innocent Sora, gone bad... it can't be done. That's like ending the world." Leon said sarcastically as the said boy came back to the table. Leon looked out one of the windows and muttered, "Nope not the apocalypse."
"What's like ending the world?" Sora asked, before taking a bite out of his taco. He didn't realize that so of the sauce had dripped down on his shirt.
"You! Going into 'Hot Topic' to buy stuff." Vincent replied, with a mouth full of food. "Vincent, that's disgusting." The blond commented on Vincent's eating style.
"Why can't I?" Sora frowned.
"Sora, your innocence gets the better of you. You constantly giggle and you LOVE bright colors" Cloud replied. Leon added, "Basically he's saying your gay, with a capital G."
"I am not gay! How many times do I have to tell you?" Sora frowned. All, the brunet wanted was for them to stop saying something he wasn't. Almost everyone he knows thought that he was gay; all of his teachers, co-workers, and even his friends think that for some reason just he couldn't seem to figure out. The brunet was nice, friendly and could make friends with girls easier than guys, and yet he hasn't had a girlfriend. Sora couldn't never quite find the reason, but he planned to.
"Whatever." Riku stated. He didn't feel like getting into another fight. One for a day was enough for him, "Do you need anything else while we're here?"
"Uh, no." Sora said calming down. His face scrunched up in concentration while trying to think to make sure.
Vincent piped up, "I need a boyfriend." He looked at Riku, "Riku, will be my boyfriend?"
Riku glared at him with disgust, "No. I would never stoop that low."
"Damn, guess I'll have to try harder!" Vincent declared a little too loud, he smirked. A few people looked at him and he sank in his chair.
Leon laughed and went to throw his trash away. When he came back he whispered in Sora's ear, "I heard you helped Vincent, therefore when you fall asleep you're going to pay." Leon smiled and walked back to Cloud.
Sora paled and his eyes got wide, 'Oh crap. He better not tickle me, again! I hate being tickled!' Another thing the poor brunet hate was to be tickled. He was extremely ticklish and only certain people knew this and could get information or something of that nature out of him very easily with it.
Riku and Vincent were talking quietly when Sora was brought into the conversation.
"We all are!" Riku stated, "Every one of us is just about. At least in our group of friends is, even if wonder boy won't admit it."
"Hey I am not gay! I'm not even bi!" the brunet knew that Riku was talking about all of them. He turned to Sora and sighed, "Ok I'll believe that when I go to college!"
"I shouldn't have to repeat myself when you won't even listen to me! I'm not a child so stop treating me like one!" Sora retorted and crossed his arms. Sora didn't realize he had raised his voice. Riku did and he didn't like it.
"Well if you listen to yourself, we wouldn't be having this conversation! You need to realize that you're lying to yourself! If you want to be treated like an adult then stop acting like a child!" Riku's face was red, "You may be cute but I know you're not dumb so stop lying to yourself and others. It's not going to help in the long run!" Riku shouted as he glared at Sora. Other people at the mall stopped to listen or shook their heads in disgust.
Sora was fuming. He hadn't been talked to like that in years and now wasn't going to be any different, "At least I don't get drunk and pass out on the stairs for anyone to do something to me!" His face was getting red too.
"That maybe, but at least I know the difference between genders!" Riku stood up and faced Sora. Sora had had enough. He stood up and grabbed his bags. He muttered "Jackass" and stomped out of the mall.
"Riku, you dumb ass! Why is it that you can't keep your mouth closed? You two need to settle this! I'm not getting involved." Cloud declared. "I can't help it! He needs to get over himself!" Riku growled. The four friends got up and headed to the car.
"Well I know he'll go tonight." Leon and Cloud looked at him, "I invited him to the gig."
Cloud glared at Riku, "I could kill you right now. That's my time to unwind and now I'll be worried." Leon grabbed Cloud's arm and turned him around, kissing him on the mouth.
"You better make it up to him. He won't go unless you apologize. Sora's more stubborn than you are." Vincent said as they got to the car. Sora was in the backseat dozing.
They put their bags in the trunk and got into the car, quietly. No one wanted to disturb the brunet.
"Sora." Riku whispered softly in Sora's ear. The young brunet stirred and opened his eyes.
Sora glared, but wasn't able to hold it because he was still half asleep, "What?" Sora asked quietly. You could hear the sleep still in his voice.
"I'm sorry, but you tempt me too much." Riku looked at Sora, "How about this, I won't say anything about your gayness, if you stay friends with me."
Sora blushed and was slightly confused. His thinking process was slowed down greatly, "Ok?"
There was a pause, "So we still friends?" Riku shifted and had it so most of Sora's weight on him. Riku was leaning against the door and had his arms around Sora's waist, "I guess. Can I sleep now?"
Riku chuckled "Good and yes." He smiled at Sora. The brunet closed his eyes. Within seconds the young brunet was asleep. Unconsciously, Sora snuggled closer to Riku.
The ride was quiet the rest of the way home. Once they got home Cloud and Sora went into their apartment and Leon, Riku and Vincent went into theirs. Most of them just wanted to sleep until they left to go to the bar.
Sora dragged himself to his room and fell into a deep sleep. Cloud watched T.V. for two hours, by then it was almost time to go. Cloud got ready first, and then thought that he should get Sora up.
'I guess I'll have to wake up Sora. This should be interesting, since he hates to wake up. Little brat. ' Cloud quietly went to Sora's door and knocked.
Surprisingly Cloud heard a faint, "Come in." The blond opened the door and froze.
He was dressed in the clothes that he bought at 'Hot Topic'. He also had on the black studded choker and three various bracelets on his left wrist and five various bracelets on his right wrist. Sora had finished putting on the dark eyeliner which Riku had taught him how to put it on.
Sora saw Cloud's expression and giggled, "Cloud, take a picture, so you'll stop drooling!"
"Ah," was the only thing audible out of Cloud's mouth. 'Hm, well I must say I've never seen Sora wear something like that! Well if he's still a virgin by tonight then I really have to get my eyes checked.' Sora usually would never be caught dead wearing anything like that. To the blond it was a big surprise and he liked it. Cloud left and went into his room and found the camera. He came back and took many pictures of Sora like that.
Finally managing to find his voice, "Wow Sora, you pull off the look real well." Sora giggled again, "Thanks. Ready to go, it's almost time for them to play."
Cloud nodded and thought. 'Thank the gods we're not related! If he giggles again then Sora will be a little late. The reason won't even be a bad one.'
The men headed up two flights of stairs to Leon, Riku and Vincent's apartment. Cloud knocked on the door with Sora behind him.
Leon answered the door looking agitated. He grunted and walked back into the apartment not saying a thing. Cloud and Sora went in.
"We're almost ready, hold on." Leon said from his room. Cloud whispered, "Yeah well I know something I would like to hold on to." Cloud went into the kitchen to get a drink.
Sora ignored Cloud and walked to the couch and saw Vincent sleeping. He smirked and jumped on the sleeping figure.
Vincent woke with a start and Sora giggled in response. "Get up lazy, almost time to go."
Vincent tried to lay back down, but couldn't so he rolled over. Big mistake. Both men tumbled to the floor. Vincent was on top of Sora. Vincent closed his eyes pretending to go back to sleep.
"Hey Vincent, I thought you wanted after Riku's pants?" Leon asked entering the room, while pulling a shirt on.
Cloud laughed at them as he came back and shook his head, "Sora you better watch out. Once Vincent gets obsessed he doesn't stop. Believe me I know."
Vincent faked a laugh and got up, "I like to keep my options open..." Vincent finally looked at Sora and gasped, "HOLY SHIT SORA! You look hot!"
Leon finally noticed what Sora was wearing and eyed him, "Very cute, Sora."
Vincent turned to Cloud, "I want him."
"You can't. He claims he's not gay." Cloud said right before Leon kissed him.
Sora sat up.
When they stopped kissing, Leon responded, "Riku says that Sora will be his soon."
"I think we should videotape it when they do it." Vincent suggested. He smirked
"Hey I'm in the same room as you guys!" Sora shouted standing up, waving his arms.
"Oh yeah!" Leon replied. He got a dreamy look on his face, but broke it off just as fast as it was there, "Ready to go watch Riku play?"
"Me and Sora are, Vincent's not." Cloud answered back, "The lazy ass was sleeping to long. We have to wait for him so we can go."
"Vincent we'll wait in the car, so hurry up." Leon commanded as they exited with Sora following close behind.
Five minutes later Vincent flew to the car and hopped in. The car took off and Sora wondered how good of a singer Riku was.
