Chapter 3: Surprise

The club was loud and crowded. Sora walked close to Cloud not wanting to get lost. Sora hasn't had a real experience of being in such a public place before. Most of the time he would only to go to the library, work, or school, but that was it. Vincent kept bumping into Sora, as he eyed various guys, which meant not paying attention. As Sora walked next to Cloud, he noticed that people were staring at him. 'Why are there people staring at me? Am I wearing the wrong things? Am I that ugly?' Sora sighed and wished he hadn't come.

They found an empty table near the stage. Leon sat down and pulled Cloud into his lap. He shifted in his seat and giggled. The blond leaned forward and licked his boyfriend's neck. Vincent, not wanting to watch any of it, got up to get them all drinks.

Sora, unfazed by Cloud and Leon's make out session, was looking around at all the couples and their style of dancing. Girls were grinding on girls, guys with guys, and guys and girls. Sora was in awe, 'Wow. I didn't think that people actually danced like this!'

He blinked when a Bacardi was shoved in his face. Sora instinctively grabbed the bottle and looked to see Vincent smiling. Vincent put the rest of the drinks down and pulled up a chair next to Sora, "You really need to go to clubs more often. People dance like this a lot. It's fun and if they are interested in you and you them, there can be benefits." The raven haired man replied almost like reading Sora's thoughts.

Sora shrugged and looked at Cloud and Leon. The older brunet was currently groping Cloud. Sora blushed and looked away. 'I can't believe that they act like that in a public place! Wait the whole place is like that!'

"Ahem!" A voice behind the couple boomed.

Quickly the couple parted. Leon saw who the owner of the voice, "Oh it's only you Sephiroth. I thought it was someone important." He snickered and went back to shoving his tongue down Cloud's throat.

Sephiroth hit Leon on the head and rolled his eyes. Leon muttered something about bosses and where to stick them. Sephiroth ignored him and nodded to Sora, "The inspector just left. Quite a few times I wanted to knock him unconscious," Sephiroth poked Cloud in the side and moved his bangs out of his eyes. The blond looked up breathless and realized that the silver haired man was there the whole time. "Well Riku, again got away with being twenty-three, again. I think he's charming his way out of it! Maybe he's been offering to give the guy a blow-job. That would defiantly sound like him."

Cloud rubbed his side and grabbed Sora's bottle and finished it off. Sora didn't notice because he didn't think he heard right.

"I thought that Riku was twenty?" Sora asked dumbfounded. He had this look of pure confusion on his face.

"Well yea but this is a club. Ya know, twenty-one or older to work here?" Vincent answered. He chuckled when he saw Sora's face light up in understanding.

Sora nodded and looked around again. He saw this gay couple dancing quite provocatively as if in their own little world. When he realized that both were in fact guys he blushed.

"Like anything you see?" Leon asked, seeing Sora reaction to a gay couple on the dance floor.

Sora shook his head furiously, "No-no. Just surprised is all." Sephiroth and Vincent got into another round of daily (nightly) arguments. As usual, everyone else just ignored them, leaving them to sort through whatever it was that tonight's topic was about.

"I'd be careful if you do hook up with someone, though. Riku's the jealous type." Cloud said laughing. He looked at his watch, "They'll be on soon." With that said everyone heard rather than saw Sephiroth get up and stalk off mad.

Sora went to protest about the Riku comment, but Vincent cut him off, "Hey Sora you're cute. If you stare at them long enough, they might ask you to join." Vincent ignored Sephiroth's action. The raven haired man didn't want to deal with any of that tonight.

"No thank you." Sora whispered. His blush got so red that even cherries would be put to shame.

"Vincent gets no sex tonight!" Leon cheered. Cloud looked at Leon for an explanation to his weird and out of character outburst, "Vincent pissed off Sephiroth, again!"

Cloud laughed and shook his head, "Serves you right! Why are you two still together? You two piss each other off one night and the next you guys are all over each other. Makes no sense at all. If I didn't know any better I would have thought that you two were only in it for the sex rather than or the relationship."

"Well, it makes sense to me and the sex is awesome every time." Vincent walked off after Sephiroth, because he was getting annoyed with everyone picking on him when Sephiroth should take some of the heat.

Leon laughed and shifted a little in his seat. Cloud noticed the shifted and looked down. Cloud smiled, "Got a problem?" Leon glared in response with a 'no duh' expression. "Wanna fix it?"

The lights dimmed a bit and Sora looked around curiously. There was a background noise and the band finally stepped onto the stage.

Zell, Seifer, Yuna, and Riku all stepped up to their positions. Seifer stepped up to the drums. Yuna, Riku and Zell grabbed their guitars and stepped up to the mics. The crowd was cheering their name and requesting songs and declaring their love forf one of the band mates.

Riku smiled at the crowd, "Hey welcome! I'm glad that you guys wanted us back so soon!" The crowd cheered in response, "Tonight we will be starting off with 'Bat Country' since we all know how much you love it." The crowd hollered. The lights dimmed and Zell started up on the guitar.

HE who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
I tried to drive all through the night,
the heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me.

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.

Riku smiled as looked around the club. Cloud and Leon got up to dance. Sora sat there and listened to the music.

As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights.
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
Mental fiction follows me; show me what it's like to be set free.

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.

So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.

Riku locked eyes with Sora. He smiled as the song picked up. Sora smiled back and mouthed 'Love it' although he didn't know if he could see that.

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today.

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,
we look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right.
I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man.

Sora got uncomfortable under Riku's gaze and looked away, blushing in the process.

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.

So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.
I've known it from the start all these good ideas will tear your brain apart.
Scared but you can follow me I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.

Sora closed his eyes and swayed in his seat. He didn't realize that Riku's eyes never left him.

When the song ended Sora clapped along with everyone else. Sora opened his eyes and cheered for another song.

"Okay, our next song is called 'Stand Still'. It's a new one, written by our lovely Yuna. Let us know what you think." Riku said into the microphone.

As the song started up, Sora knew he was going to like it already, 'I wonder if Riku wrote the last song? I'll just have to ask him later.'

The band finished four more songs before their time was up.

"You guys have been awesome tonight!" Yuna yelled into her microphone. She jumped up and down. Her skirt flew up and most guys bent down to get a look but realized that there was shorts on underneath. Most were disappointed.

"Yea come by next week to listen to us again!" Zell added in waving his arms. Zell Seifer and Yuna exited the stage, leaving mist of their equipment behind.

"Goodnight guys! Just remember 'Beautiful Yet Painful' rocks and you know it!" Riku added as he, too, walked off stage.

Sora sat there in awe, 'Damn, that was awesome! I've never been to a concert before! They're wicked good! I wonder how Riku got that good on the guitar.' Sora looked around and saw Cloud and Leon heading towards him.

"They were awesome!" Sora exclaimed.

"Yea they are. Every time they come here, the place is usually full." Cloud responded taking a seat next to Sora.

Leon stood behind Cloud, "Just don't tell him or it'll go to his head." Leon wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's neck.

"What'll go to my head?" Riku asked slipping into the vacant seat on the other side of Sora.

"Nothing," Cloud answered back quickly.

"You were really great." Sora said, hopping in his seat. He smiled and looked back at Riku. Riku raised an eyebrow, "I was great?"

Sora titled his head to the side. When he realized what he said, "NO, I mean, uh wait. Uh, I mean you were great, but I mean as in the whole band, not just you." Sora stammered and fidgeted in his seat. He blushed again and pouted trying to find the right words to explain. The only thing he seemed to be doing was digging himself a grave.

Riku chuckled, "I was just picking on you, Sora. You need to calm down. There isn't a need to be uptight all the time." Riku looked over to Cloud and Leon and laughed.

Leon was whispering something in Cloud's ear. The blond started to shake his head furiously. Leon frowned and looked around. He smiled and grabbed Cloud's arm. Then he proceeded to pull Cloud in the direction of the bathroom. The blond gave up resisting and walked with him. The brunet felt him stop resisting and smiled as the door closed.

Riku laughed and Sora relaxed, "Riku?" The silver haired one turned to look at Sora, "Hm?"

"Did you write those songs?" Sora finished off his drink and grimaced at the taste.

"All but two of them, why?" Riku looked around the club and smiled when he spotted someone.

"They are really good. You guys should become really famous and you could make millions." Sora was oblivious to his friend's roaming eyes.

"Thanks, I'll the band know that we have another stalker." Riku's eyes landed back on Sora. He smirked and laughed. Sora's eyes widened, until he realized it was a joke, and he smiled. "I would only stalk you! Not the whole band!" Sora giggled. His friend smirked at Sora's joke.

"Hey you two, have you seen Leon and Cloud?" Vincent asked coming up from behind them. Vincent had two drinks in his hands and a camera around his neck.

"Leon pushed Cloud into the bathroom, in a hurry, if you catch my drift." Riku said taking one drink out of Vincent's hands.

Vincent smirked and handed the other drink to Sora, "Good. They are so going to hate me later. Oh and if I die I just wanted to tell you Sora that I have pictures of you naked in the shower." With that Vincent headed to the bathroom.

Riku and Sora looked at each other and shook their heads. Sora growled and glared in the direction of Vincent. They continued to talk for about ten minutes when they heard a loud 'CRASH' followed by a girlish scream. The sounds came from the bathroom. The people in the club got quiet. Another fifteen seconds followed when the people in the club saw Vincent fly out of there. Leon booked out after him with a murderous look on his face. The murderous burnet yelled to Vincent, "When I get my hands on you, I'll make sure your death will be slow and painful!" Vincent yelped and ran faster. Cloud ran out of the bathroom looking flushed and left in search of Leon and Vincent.

The people in the club all shook their heads and continued to dance.

Riku laughed hysterically. Sora stared in the direction that the trio went with his mouth hanging open.

Once Riku settled down, he picked the conversation up right where it was interrupted, "So Cloud really took pictures?"

Sora nodded, "Yes! He had this look in his eyes. It was creepy. It was like he wanted something" He stretched his arms. Riku smirked at his friend's naivety

"Well I can see why. Sora let me put it to you this way. You look way too sexy for your own good!" Sora blushed at this, "Ya know, you really pull this look off."

Sora laughed nervously, "Ya so I've been told. Whatta want to do?"

Riku didn't hear Sora, though, 'damn with Sora like this I just want to throw him down and- RIKU! I can't! I need to get my mind out of the gutter! It's so hard... but I must try to, though.' Riku shifted a little and groaned. A hand appeared in front of his face.

Riku blinked, "Oh sorry, Sora. You were saying?"

"What do you want to do?"

'Uh." Riku looked down and he confirmed his suspicions, "I need to..." His voice trailed off. He got up, abruptly and walked off into the men's room.

Sora sat there stunned. The brunet shook his head and looked around. Muttering to him self, "Great! Everyone left me! I guess that means that I have to dance." Sora got up and began the search for a dance partner.

When Riku reached the bathroom he looked to make sure no one was in there. He locked the door and decided that he needed to get rid of his problem.

Riku hastily unzipped his pants and freed his 'problem'. Riku brought a finger slowly along the hard length. Riku moaned and heard a click in the background. Riku's eyes closed as he gripped his member tightly and moaned, again.

A hand closed tightly around his, making Riku's eyes open. The silver haired man stiffened. "Just relax and let me handle this." The masculine voice softly said. He did relax when he recognized the voice. The person gripped tighter and Riku moaned wanting more.

The mysterious person moved up and down Riku's shaft. The man swiped his thumb over the head and Riku shuddered, putting most of his weight on the man.

The man chuckled and nipped at Riku's ear, causing another moan. He kissed his way down the silver haired man's neck and quickened his pace.

Before long, Riku started to thrust into the man's hand and his breathing became uneven and fast. He shuttered violently and came in the man's hand. The mysterious man sighed and 'helped' Riku clean up.

Ooooooooooooooooo0000000000000000000000000ooooooooooooooooooo

"Vincent if you want to live, you'll come to me NOW!" Leon roared, walking down the pitch black street.

Somewhere in the shadows of a dark ally, Vincent replied, "No, you'll just kill me!"

Leon laughed at his friends (soon to be ex-friend) stupidity, ''Thanks dumb ass. At least I now know where you are!' The brunet slowly walked into the ally, waiting for his eyes to adjust.

Vincent crouched lower and prayed that he wouldn't be caught. The raven haired man tried to stay as quiet as possible. He failed horribly when Leon started to kick the boxes and trash cans. Vincent yelped in surprise and immediately covered his mouth with his hands. He prayed that Leon didn't hear that, but he did.

Leon glared in the direction of the noise. He grinned wildly, "You're going to die tonight. It'll very painful."

The raven haired man grimaced and pushed himself farther into the shadows, wishing to just disappear. Vincent's eyes widen when he saw Leon's shadow tower over him.

The brunet leaned over and grabbed Vincent by his shirt. Violently, Leon pulled his soon to be ex-friend up into the air, "Listen here you little prick, when I tear out your throat-" Leon started to say by got cut off.

"Leon put him down." Cloud demanded, he had his arms behind his back and he looked like something had just run him over.

"Baby go home, you look tired. I'll be there soon. I need to take out the trash." Vincent's eyes widened at that comment and he shook his head furiously.

"Leon put him down now." Cloud commanded crossing his arms over his chest.

The brunet reluctantly put Vincent on the ground and let go of his shirt. Leon, however, stayed in his spot. As Cloud spoke you could hear the agitation in his voice, "Vincent I don't want to hear anything except two words."

Vincent slouched in fear, 'I heard that Cloud gets scarier than Leon when he's pissed. Hopefully I don't have it happen to me.' Vincent gulped. "I'm-I'm sorry man... I didn't... it was... it was only a joke." Vincent mumbled, he looked at the ground, figuring that was the safest place to look.

Cloud shook his head and looked at Leon, "Let's go back to my apartment." The brunet turned and glared at Vincent, "I guess."

The blond smiled and walked over to Leon. "Vincent? If you EVER do something like that, again, I'll castrate you. Got it?" Leon growled.

Vincent nodded quickly, "Yes-yes."

"Good." Leon said before turning to Cloud, "Let's go home love." Leon grabbed his boyfriend's waist and they left the allyway.

Vincent stuck his hand into his pocket after they left. Shaking, he drew out a picture. Looking at the picture he laughed, 'Damn I almost died for this!' The raven haired man shrugged his shoulders and walked home, whistling.

Ooooooooooooo0000000000000000000000000ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sora danced with a few girls. One of them had caught his eye. She had less than shoulder length dark colored haired, but from the club light it looked like it had a purple tint to it. He couldn't see what color her eyes were. She was dancing around with a couple people who looked like they knew her really well, like friends or something. This mystery girl had on a pair of tight dark blue jeans and a t-shirt that said, "Only you can take my breath away… you really stink that bad."

As she turned around, she spotted Sora. The woman talked to the people near her and they all turned and looked at him. Finally she walked over to him, "Hey my name is Cathy. What's yours?" the said woman smiled at him.

The brunet blushed, "My name is Sora. Wanna dance?" She smirked, grabbed his hand and dragged him out onto the dance floor. The song "Hysteria, by Muse" came on. Cathy stopped in the middle of the dance floor. Wrapping her arms around him, "So this your first time in a club or first time in this club?"

The brunet blushed, "Yea this is my first time in a club." He saw the look on her face fall a little and he struggled to find a reason, "Well I'm always busy-" Cathy laughed, "You're always busy saving people. You really don't remember me at all?" Sora's blushed grew more red and a confused look crossed his face, "No at all hm? Try to think back to around a few months back on the curb…. By this pizza place…. You called an ambulance?"

Realization dawned him, "Hey you're the girl who almost died right out side my work place! I remember, now! How have you been?" The song ended and they both walked out to the nearest table.

She sat down across from him, "Well after you saved me, I changed my life around. Doing drugs was what screwed up my life, so I decided that since I was getting a second chance I was going to take it. Yep going to college right now. I'm even studying Psychology!" Her face lit up. Sora smiled back, "Really now. Well I'm doing child services classes. Maybe next semester we'll have the same teacher or something!"

They talked for around an hour before the brunet realized what time it was, "Oh, wow, look at the time. I really need to get home and get some sleep. Do you want me to walk you home?" Both stood up. She smiled at him, "Nah I think I might stay here for a little while longer, but here take this." Cathy scribbled something down a napkin, "It's my number. Call me if you want to go out sometime. I really had fun."

As she handed Sora the napkin, Cathy let her hand linger. This caused Sora to blush. Both said goodnight. Cathy walked back over to her friends. Sora walked out of the bar.

Ooooooooo00000000000000000oooooooooooooooooooo000000000000000000ooooooo

He stepped into the street.

"Sora wait up!" He turned around to see Riku running towards him.

"Don't tell me you're going to go home?" Riku shook his head when Sora nodded, "Do you want to walk in on Leon and Cloud? They are probably going at. You can stay at mine and Leon's place for the night." Riku swayed a little and grinned like the Cheshire cat.

"Uh, sure." Sora said with a little uneasiness. It was a silent walk back to the apartment building.

Sora thought that he heard something behind him. He turned around and saw nothing. Riku saw Sora look behind him and quirked his eyebrow, "See something Sora?"

"I thought I heard a 'clink' type of noise. I guess I was imaging it." Sora answered as he stepped into the building.

Riku gaped at Sora as he stepped into the building, "Sora? I think the sound is your pants."

He blushed and looked at his pants, "Oh, sorry. I'm not used to hearing that sound yet." Riku chuckled as they reached his apartment. He opened the door and let Sora in.

Riku waited for the door to close. When the door closed the silver haired man smiled and pinned Sora to the door. He leaned down and kissed Sora.
