The school ball is on, and when Sora's partner and Riku's partner leave the pair both as wall flowers, they go into the garden, where they finally get to reveal their true feelings.

Disclaimer: I own none of this. Only the storyline.

Authors note: This chapter is for ChibiFrubaGirl, who suggested I write the second chapter. I wasn't planning on it, but Kairi confronting Sora does seem like a good idea! Also, in this chapter is very mild Kairi bashing...


You can dance,go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he walk you home,you must tell him no

"What's wrong, doll face?" Axel asked the fretting red-head. "You seem so distressed! How can I try to charm you when-"

Kairi tilted her head back a little. Axel was quite a bit taller than her. "I'm sorry Axel, I've- I'm just a little preoccupied."

He nodded, and twirled the young girl under his arm. "You like dancing with me, huh?" He chuckled. "I knew you couldn't resist me."

She felt the urge to slap him. "I could resist you," She said. "I just felt like a dance, and you were the first person I saw."

Axel ran his free hand through his hair. "Scoping me out alread-"

Kairi smacked his face. "I could resist you!" She snapped. "What would you do-"

Axel held Kairi close, and for a moment, looked at her. His face was red where she had slapped him, but that didn't bother him. It was only a quick kiss; a mere brush of the lips.


Sora and Riku sat in the garden. Riku, being the older boy, had one arm draped lazily over Sora, and Sora was leanind against his chest.

"What's gonna happen now?" Sora murmured tiredly. "Do we go back inside, and be wall flowers, or stay out here?"

Riku closed his eyes. "Well... it's getting cold here. We could go inside, but..."

"... we would be wall flowers, and it would get too stuffy in there." Sora finished.

Riku nodded. "Well..."

"Let's go and wait in your limo!" Sora suggested. "The driver left the car there, right?"

Riku nodded, and narrowed his eyes. "Yeah, but what are you getting at?"

"C'mon!" Sora took Riku's hand, and gave him a reassuring smile. "Trust me!"

Riku gave in, and the two got up. They climbed over the garden fence with ease, and looked around the courtyard. "The girls won't know we're gone." Sora said with a goofy grin. "Namine thinks you're gay, anyway."

Riku shrugged his shoulders. "How many times have you told me?"

The two walked casually away from the school, when the gym door burst open and Kairi ran out. "Sora!" She cried to the retreating figures.

Riku and Sora stopped. Sora turned around "Kairi?"

He walked casually over to her. "What's wrong?" He asked, shoving his hands in his pockets.

She looked over at Riku, who was standing there, waiting patiently. When their eyes met he turned away quickly, looking for something to be distracted by. Kairi walked up to Sora, and took his hand in hers.

"Kairi... is something-"

His question was cut short when Kairi pressed her lips to Sora's. Riku looked mortified, although no-one could see him because he had hidden himself behind a tree. Sora stepped back in shock, and missed a step. With a startled cry, he put his hands out behind him to catch him before he broke his neck, or something. His arm twisted as he landed on his bum, and he winced.

"Sora?"

Tears of pain and shock stung his vision. Nevertheless, he looked up at Kairi from the ground. "Kairi!" He exclaimed. "What are you doing?"


Riku saw the kiss. He saw Sora stumble back in surprise, and sprain his wrist. He saw them arguing.

"Why did you kiss me?" Sora demanded again. His voice was loud and clear.

"Because!" Kairi yelled. "I wanted to see if it was true!"

"See if what was true?" Sora grumbled, rubbing his wrist.

"If my feelings about you were real... or just a schoolgirl crush." She said simply.

Sora stared. "Kairi... y-you like me?"

She said nothing, though her facial expression gave it away. Sora got up to his feet, shakily, and turned away from her. "You're wasting your time." He said. "I'm-"

"Into boys?" She spat, her sadness turning into anger rapidly. Sora faced her again. "And don't deny it!" She said quickly. "I saw you and Riku in the garden!"

Sora stood there for a moment, and Riku thought bitterly for a moment that he was going to deny it... but Sora just shrugged his shoulders. "I'm denying nothing."

He turned around and walked down the path. He stopped by the tree where Riku stood, and pulled him out from behind it. Turning to look at Kairi one more time, he planted a huge kiss on Riku's cheek and grabbed his hand. "C'mon, Riku, let's go make out in your limo." He emphasised the 'making out' part, to see if he could gross Kairi out, or annoy her further.

Sora dragged a very flushed Riku away, and Kairi stood on the steps, her mouth open in shock.


"T-that's what you were talking about before?" Riku stammered as Sora led the two out of the school grounds.

Sora nodded. "Of course. And you should know by now that I always get what I want."

They stopped by the limo. Sora reached for the door, but then stopped. He turned to Riku, and flashed him a smile.

"Would you like to dance?"


'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling,save the last dance for me

Okay, I'm done! Please let me know what you think!
