"Well you got into this situation yourself, so don't give me that look." Cloud scolded Roxas as he drove him over to the T.A.F.T.E for Ansem's program. Roxas was lucky and he knew it. Cloud would've been much more angry if he hadn't taken that job with Reno. He had been working seven days a week, even though he didn't need to. Cloud was just a work-aholic at heart.
Cloud dropped him off at the front of the school and Roxas gladly got out. He began his long walk up to the school, which was much larger than his. Tons of students were scattered around the yard, which looked more like a park because of its white pavements, green grass that was perfectly cut and tall beautiful trees on each side of the paths. They were all in the Traverse Academies uniforms, which Roxas was not wearing, even though he was going to be there for a semester they didn't give him one.
"Roxas!" Roxas turned and grinned when he saw Ventus walking over to him. "Hey Usagi!" Ventus scowled, "Could you not call me that." Roxas laughed, "Sorry." even though he wasn't. The two blondes walked into the school, which looked more like a technologically advanced college, than a high school. They made there way to the main office, using the map on their schedules.
"Hey Roxas," Ventus looked at him nervously "their all staring." It was true. As they passed by, the students would turn and stare at them, or whisper to each other. "Just ignore them." When they got to the main office, they saw that they weren't the only ones who had to endure this 'program'.
There were a few other students of Traverse high that Roxas recognized. Of course Xemnas picked the most 'troubled kids in school. Seifer was there, glaring at him and so were his crew, Fuu and Rai. He was about to say something, when Ansem came in, "Hello students. As you all probably know, you will be going to school here for a semester. Maybe when you're here you'll learn a thing or two." and with that he was gone.
"What do we do no-" Ventus was cut off by the bell. "First period?" Roxas asked and Ventus shrugged. So they began walking. All of them had a few classes together, which was good because he would have some with Ventus, but unfortunately Seifer and his gang were part of the group.
As they walked into homeroom, they saw that they were the last to get there. Roxas looked around, no Axel. Good, he didn't know if he could face him after what happened last week. He shivered. "Well, class. These are our transfer students. They will be here for a semester, so try to be nice to them." he turned to the group, would you like to introduce yourselves?" the group just walked past him and took the empty seats.
"Well, I'll take that as a no." there were chuckles "Anyway, I'm Mr. Luxord, Come to me if you have any questions." He then sat down and the whole class turned to the five teenagers. Some did it more subtly than others, "Hey! Roxas!" Kairi. "Hey what's up?" Roxas asked, not really caring. "Oh you know." Roxas most certainly did not know "But anyway, you and your friends should sit with us at lunch." Roxas threw a look at Seifer and his gang, "They are not our friends. Ventus and I will sit with you, though."
"Wait," Roxas said quickly "will Axel be with you?" Kairi gave him a weird look, "Uh, yeah and all our friends. You should, we're pretty high up the ladder." She said with a wink. Roxas could have told her that. She seemed really popular amongst her peers. He watched as she talked to them, he sighed and turned to Ventus, who had his eyes wide open and was staring at something. Roxas followed his gaze to a brunette boy with blue eyes. He looked pretty tall, and was definitely built.
The boy was talking to some people around him, looked their way once and did a double take when he saw Ventus. He didn't seem to know how to react, so he settled for a nod. "Ventus? Who is that?" Roxas asked waving his hand in front of his friends face. "Uhh, that's um, I mean. I didn't think I would ever see him again." he managed to stutter out. "Who is he? Ex-best friend? Long lost brother? The killer of your parents?...Ex?" Roxas asked rapidly, desperately wanting to know.
"Uh, well, it's a long story." Roxas cursed when the bell rang. "Tell me at lunch." "Kay." was Ventus' weak response as they went there seperate ways. Roxas made his way to first period, biology. His teacher was Mr. Vexen, who was extremely strict, but Roxas could tell he was passionate about science. The class was pretty fun, they got to do experiments with equipment that wasn't old or generally missing. Roxas was paired with some guy who was surprised to find out Roxas wasn't a complete moron, and they ended up becoming friends.
"Hey I'll see you later, Roxas." Roxas smiled, "Yeah, bye Hayner!" Roxas began walking to his second period, which was Technical Theater. He was amazed to see the theatre. It was big and beautiful. With velvet curtains and a golden brown stage. There were many rows of seats that were at a slant, some were even on the balconies.
They were putting on a play and Roxas, along with another student named Demyx, controlled the lighting, music, volume, curtains and so on. Most of the period was spent with them goofing off and talking about different stuff. You didn't have to be a genius to figure out that Demyx loved music, and it turned out Demyx was one. A music genius, he had said.
"Wow, so that must be cool, you know being a genius and all." Roxas said as he dimmed the lights. "Well yeah, it would be, if I was good at math or something." Demyx said, eyes downcast. "What, so your parents aren't proud of you or something?" Demyx laughed, "No, they are. I didn't really come from a well-off family, like most of the students here. So they were pretty psyched when I was invited." Demyx's fond smile disappeared, however when he said, "It's just, I-I like this guy. He's pretty much the entire reason I came here, but he just thinks I'm a waste of space."
Roxas frowned, thinking, but he really didn't know what to say. The bell rang as they were packing up. Demyx called out a cheerful goodbye as he left Roxas in the theatre. He was confused as to where the cafeteria was, but decided to just walk around until he found it. He was a bit too intimidated to ask where it was.
"Hey!" a voice yelled. Roxas looked in front of him and blushed, it seemed that he spaced out and walked into another student. "Hello?" the boy raised his perfect blue eyebrow at him. "Oh! Um sorry." Roxas said quickly, he usually wouldn't have been so slow, but the boy just... distracted him.
He had blue hair that fell onto the right side of his face, covering his right eye. His other eye was a dull blue that was full of intelligence, which, at the moment was looking down at him with worry. Roxas scowled, of course everyone was taller than him. Even Ven and Sora were. "Whatever," the boy's eyes were wiped of any emotion "please stay out of my way." And with that he walked gracefully away.
Then Roxas remembered, he was one of the guys that visited his school. Why does everyone at this school have a wierd hairstyle? Well, he couldn't really talk, because most of the people at his school have weird hairstyles. But he would take any reason he could to hate this place.
Finally, he reached the cafeteria, at least he thought it was. It was as big as the cafeteria at his school, but it was just...better. He walked in, and this time no one stared at him. They were all just talking and eating, sitting on cusshioned seats with lace covered tables while people served them. Nope, nothing out of the ordinary here.
"Roxas!" said individual looked around. He set his sights on Kairi, who was waving from a table in the back. That was when people started staring. He coughed awkwardly as he began walking over. He heard their whispers, "Why are they letting him sit with them?" "Yeah, they have some of the other new kids sitting with them." "They don't deserve to sit with our top students!"
Roxas tried his best to ignore them, and succeeded. As he got to the table, he noticed who was sitting there. Most of the students who went over to his school were there, plus other people he didn't know and Ventus, "Hey buddy, did you get lost?" Roxas shrugged and sat down at the empty seat, which, much to his chagrin, was next to Axel.
"Well, let me introduce you to everyone!" squealed Kairi. "You remember Axel," Roxas blushed when Axel smirked at him "That's Namine~" Kairi wiggled her eyebrows as she pointed to a pretty blonde girl sitting at the end of the table, who blushed as she waved "That's Marluxia and Larxene," she gestured to a pink haired boy and a blonde haired girl, they nodded "That's Demy-" "Hey Roxas remember me? If I had known we were going to the same place I would have walked you!" The bubbly blonde said, and Roxas laughed.
Kairi rolled her eyes and continued, "That's Zexion-" "Yeah we met." Zexion said in amused voice, and Roxas blushed, "I said I was sorry, it's not my fault I'm a hazard to short students in hallways." Zexion rolled his eyes, "I'm taller than you." Roxas smirked, "That's not an accurate comparison, I'm probably the shortest guy in the entire school." Zexion smiled, "Touche." Everyone looked between them, Kairi was the first to speak, "Sooo, are you guys friends or something?" the boys shrugged "Well anyway, thet's Terra." Roxas recognized him as the guy Ven was staring at earlier.
"Hey." Terra said, nodding. "We make up eight of the ten top students at T.A.F.T.E, you'll see the others later." Roxas nodded. He began talking to them, and realized they weren't all that bad. He felt the tension between Ven and Terra, though, and he was determined to figure out what that was about. Wow, he had two mysteries to solve now. Speaking of which, he was wondered how Cloud was doing.
Cloud was doing good. He was just glad that he could work again. What was his job exactly? Well, Reno ran a very successful company. It had many branches. One created and sold a wide range of weapons, swiss weapons, to be exact, which were always the best. Another trained spies, and other people of the like. Anything you could name, they did. But the most important, and the largest, branch was the scientific branch. They had to do with medicine, water, anything and everything science.
The government keeps close tabs on the Sinclair company, which is where Clouds job comes in. He goes around making sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to do. He also goes through everyons records, making sure that no one is a double agent or working for the government. He was on his way to Leons office, the one thing Cloud hated about his job. He didn't care what Reno said, he couldn't put the past behind him.
He knocked on the door. "Come in." he heard the mans gruff voice through the door. Leon looked up as Cloud came in, his eyes sad. Cloud cleared his throat, "I'm done with the report and I've checked all the branches, so I was wondering if there was anything else I could do."
Leon chuckled, "You always were a work-aholic," then under his breath, "Aerith never deserved you." Cloud heard it, though, "Oh? Is that why you took her from me?" his voice was cold as ice, as well as his eyes. "You never had her, Cloud, and that's not what happene-" "I'm not having this discussion with you, Leon. I despise you with every fiber of my being, it's a good thing you didn't raised Sora." Cloud cut him off.
"Wait! you don't understand!" Leon tried to say, but Cloud was already gone.
The group cleared as the bell rang. Roxas got a lot closer to them than he would have liked. He learned that Zexion was the guy that Demyx liked, but he had no idea and treated him less than well. He also learned that Larxene was a lesbian, and not dating Marluxia, which he had thought earlier. Marluxia liked their science teacher, Mr. Vexen. He still didn't know what was up with Ven and Terra, but he would ask him later.
He also learned that they each exceeded in a different subject, some exceeded in two or three, while others had one. He knew Demyx's was music and Namine's was art, but when he tried asking the others they came back with some smart ass remark. He blushed when Axel smirked and said 'chemistry~'. He gathered his things and went on his way to calculus. "Hey! Wait." Roxas turned to see Axel looking down at him.
"Uh, hey Axel. What is it?" Roxas asked rubbing his neck and looking around. He snapped his eyes back up as Axel snatched his schedule away from him. "Hey-" he began, but Axel cut him off, "Yay! you have calculus with me, come on I'll walk you there." Roxas raised his eyebrow at Axel saying 'yay', but followed him anyway. "So, Ro-xas~. How's your first day?" Roxas blushed, then frowned when he notice Axel's slow pace, "Should we be walking this slowly?" Axel smiled, "Don't worry. You're a new student, besides, you're with me."
Roxas was skeptical, "If you say so." Axel nodded, "I wanted some time to talk to you too." Roxas raised an eyebrow, "About what?" "I want you to be with me." Axel said, making Roxas choke on his spit. He didn't think he would be this straight foward. "U-um, w-well... I, I mean... What?"
Axel laughed at Roxas' expression, "What? Did you think I was just playing with you when I kissed you?" "Yes!" Axel frowned, "Well, I wasn't." When Roxas got himself together, he said, "Like what? Friends? Boyfriend? Acquaintance? Husband?...Pet?" Axel raised an eyebrow, but rolled his eyes when he saw he was being sarcastic, "Anything, as long as your mine, and only mine." Roxas shivered, there was something in his voice that really scared him.
But did he really want that? Sure Axel was gorgeous, he was smart and he was rich, but he didn't even know him. Why did Axel even want to be in a relationship when they barely knew each other? "Do you even know why I'm here? It's because I'm a problematic kid, Axel. Meaning I'm not a good person. Trust me, someone like you wouldn't want to get mixed up with someone like me."
"Is that a no?" Axel said with an annoyed look. Roxas sighed, it was a no. He didn't really want a relationship, and besides, he didn't know Axel, he had other things to worry about. He nodded, "Fine." As they walked into the class room, all eyes were on them. "Axel, your late. Again." Axel said nothing as he walked to his seat. The teacher shook his head and looked to Roxas, "Since you're new I'll let it slide, but if you're late next time-" "Mr. Saix, could we get on with the attendance? I don't want to be here any longer than I have to."
Mr. Saix frowned, "Fine. Roxas, go sit in the empty seat over there." Roxas walked over to his seat, which wasn't next to Axel's, fortunately. As the teacher took attendance, Roxas stared out the window. When he looked back, Axel was gone. "Where did Axel go," he thought back to what he said earlier "he's not in this class?" "No way. Axels way too smart for this class." Roxas snapped out of his thoughts to see the guy from his other class, Hayner.
"Really?" Hayner nodded, "Yeah, he's part of the top ten students. They just check in with one of these classes, and then they go to their real class." "One more advanced than any of us could ever dream." butted in a girl with brown hair and green eyes. Hayner rolled his eyes, "Why would you even want to be in their super hard, superficial class anyway, Olette? I'd rather kick it in here."
Olette smiled, "I just want to be smart." Roxas laughed, "Being smart doesn't mean you're in the best class. I know a guy who is up there with Stephen Hawking, but he's failed every test he's ever taken. Besides, people are smart in different ways." The group turned when they heard someone clear they're throat. "If you are done talking, please answer this question." Mr. Saix said pointing at the board.
Hayner and Olette turned away, they hadn't been paying attention. "The answer is x=26. I thought this was an AP class why are we still doing this?" Mr. Saix narrowed his eyes at Roxas, mumbling, "Interesting." then in a louder voice, "Hayner, Olette, unless you have the amount of knowledge...Roxas obviously does, I suggest you pay attention." "Yes sir."
The rest of the period went slowly, the only remotely interesting thing Roxas had found to do was correct the teacher. He liked how annoyed Saix would get when he did it. "Actually the form 0/0 is an example of an indeterminate form. That just means that you have not yet determinedan answer." Roxas corrected Saix again, from his seat in the back. "Yes, thank you Roxas. I was just getting to that." Roxas smiled, "You're welcome."
There was a knock at the door, and Saix walked over to it saying, "Turn to page fifty-seven and do problems one to thirty." He opened the door to Mr. Vexen, and they talked for a little bit. "Well Roxas, since you obviously know all about this lesson," Roxas' head snapped up from his desk when he heard his name "you can go with Vexen and assist him." Roxas' face stretched in a lazy grin, "Thanks Mr. Saix."
"So where are we going?" Roxas asked as he caught up with Vexen. "Well since you've been causing Saix so much trouble, you get to help me for the period." Roxas frowned, "It's not my fault he doesn't know what he's teaching. Is he a sub or something? And that's great, but it doesn't answer my question."
Vexen laughed, "Well, you really are a smart-aleck. Not all the teachers here are as nice as me, so you got lucky today." "Whatever." Roxas said. It felt like they had walked a few miles by the time they reached a door and stopped. "All I want you to do is watch this class for the period, or until I give you further instructions." Roxas nodded "You don't have to teach them anything, they're each learning different things. It's just the principle's rule says that each class must be supervised." Vexen opened the door.
"No problemo, Senior Vexen." Roxas said, grinning lazily. He walked in and the door closed behind him. "Hey Roxas!" He had suspected it. "Hey Demyx, I thought you were just music?" "There's math in music, as well as art." Namine said. "Oh." It looked like all of them were there, excluding Larxene and Marluxia. "That doesn't mean he's good at it. He's the worst in this class." that was Zexion, sitting with Terra. "Uh, so anyway, what are you doing here, Roxas?" Kairi asked, she was sitting next to Axel, who was looking at him, obviously annoyed.
"Oh, well Mr. Saix doesn't know anything about calculus. So I was helping him." Roxas said, sitting down at the front of the class, at the desk. He picked up a book, flipping through it. He looked up when he heard a light cough. When he saw Namine standing in front of him he said, "What's up Nam?" she giggled at the nickname, "Can I talk to you for a second? It's really important and if I don't do it now, I don't think I ever will."
Roxas' eyes widened. He wasn't an idiot, he knew Namine liked him. He thought it was just him, but at lunch he realized that Namine's who he kept hearing Kairi talk about when he was at her house. Sure, Namine was beautiful, smart and talented, like Axel. But Roxas just didn't know her, and in case you hadn't realized by now, Roxas wasn't big on relationships.
He just thought they were an unnecessary restriction on people, and even if you really loved them and wanted to be with them forever it doesn't mean you have to be their husband, or wife, or whatever. The whole idea of marriage, like smoking, is totally archaic. The way he saw it at least. He could talk about his views on relationships forever. The bottom line was, Roxas wasn't ready for something serious.
"Well, um actually... this is a bad time. Uh, Vexen said I had to watch over you guys. If I leave now, I'll be in even more trouble than I am now." Roxas stuttered out. "But-" "Just give it up Namine. He doesn't want to talk to you." Axel snapped at Namine, causing Kairi to glare at him. Though Roxas' outward appearance was angry at Axel, his inward appearance was thankful.
"That's not it, I just don't want to get in more trouble, I mean I came here to get better. If my dad hears that I've been...like this, he'll flip out." Namine smiled, "It's okay, Roxas. I understand, but you're not a bad guy." Roxas laughed, shaking his head, "You don't know me, how could you say that?" Namine just smiled. "What did you do actually? I'm curious." Zexion asked as Namine went to her seat.
Everyone eyes were on him, including Axel's who looked relieved. "What do you mean?" Roxas asked, confused. He did lot's of things before Xemnas finally snapped and made him join this program. "When we were visiting your school, you were sent to the principle's office, correct?" Roxas nodded, "Oh, yeah, I beat this kid up." Kairi gasped, "Seriously?"
Roxas nodded, "Seriously. He was totally asking for it, though." Terra smirked, "Yeah I know what that's like. Once when I was little, I- well never mind, that's for another time." and he went back to his work. "Did you win?" Axel asked, the first words he had spoken to him since their conversation earlier. Roxas raised an eyebrow, "Well if you mean who had the most injuries, yes I did win. You should have seen him," Roxas closed his eyes, basking in the image of Seifer's bloody and injured body, "I could've sent him to the hospital with a few more strikes," then, he said in a less orgasmic voice, "but there's no winning with that guy. He'll be out to darken another poor souls day."
When he opened his eyes, he saw everyone gaping at him. He opened up the book again, going back to how he was before Namine interupted him. "What did he do?" Axel said in a quieter voice, Roxas strained to hear him. "You said he had it coming. I doubt you would take so much joy in beating someone up who didn't do anything terrible to you." Roxas sighed, "He broke my brother's arm." Axel nodded, going back to his work.
"So now will you guys tell me what you're geniuses in?" Roxas asked after he got bored of the book. Terra smirked, "Fine I guess I could tell you mine. I'm a star athlete, along with Lex, who you'll meet later. Not that exciting, but as you can see, since I'm here, I'm not all brawn and no brains." Roxas looked around expectantly, "No one else?" Kairi laughed, "Sorry Roxas, you'll have to figure that out yourself." Hmm, another mystery. That makes three, speaking of which...
"Terra? What's you're relationship with Ven?" Roxas asked. Terra looked up at him, "Oh, that's a long story. I'm sure Usagi will tell you." Roxas' eyes widened, "Wait, you call him Usagi too?" Terra raised an eyebrow, "Yeah, where do you think Van got it from? Our families know each other." Roxas was intrigued. When the bell rang, all the students started to leave except for Zexion and Terra, who usually stayed after to do other types of work.
"Hey Roxas! I think we have art together." He checked Roxas' schedule "Yup! We do." Demyx then began pulling him along the hallway. "Is Namine going to be there?" Roxas sighed in relief when Demyx shook his head. They sat down near the back. "So, I heard you rejected Axel." Roxas' eyes widened, "How-" "I'm his best friend. He tells me everything." Demyx looked at Roxas, "He's still pretty upset about it you know."
Roxas sighed, "Look-" "I'm not trying to get you to go out with him." Demyx cut him off. "You're not?" asked Roxas, suprised. "Nope. I'm just going to warn you. Axel's not going to give up." "And what does that mean for me?" Roxas asked, already exhausted. Demyx shrugged, smiling apologetically, "Axel always gets what he wants. If I were you, I'd give him what he wants. Poor Namine."
Roxas' head snapped up from his desk, "You know Namine likes me?" Demyx nodded, "Yeah, everyone knows. It's caused some tension between Ax and Nami. She doesn't even know why." "I don't want to be with her!" "Good, so you're going to be with Axel, when he's happy, I'm happy." "No!" Demyx looked confused, "So, then..." "Ugh! Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about... Zexion."
That did it, Demyx blushed and started stuttering. "Demyx. Dem come on. Wow you really like him, huh?" Demyx got a dreamy look in his eyes, which kind of creeped Roxas out. "Yeah, he's my soul mate. Too bad he hates me." Demyx looked up at Roxas from his drawing, "Wait a minute! Do you like Zexion? Is that why you won't go out with Ax or Nami? You two have been getting along well lately, and Zexion isn't really that nice to new people..."
Roxas rolled his eyes at Demyx's ramblings and went back to his drawing. "Why do you even like him?" Roxas interrupted. "Huh? Oh, well like I said before, the only reason I'm here is because of him. He's a really amazing person, he's smart and even though it doesn't seem like it, he's really sweet," Demyx sighed "I remember once, he helped me with my biology test. I'm really bad at science," he laughed "he did a lot of things for me. We were'nt bet friends, but we were close. Then he started being mean and stuff."
Roxas looked at Demyx, he looked broken. Like one of those toys from toy story whose owner stopped playing with them and just left them in the attic to rot. That was when he decided, he would get Demyx and Zexion together. The two boys said goodbye as the bell rang and went their seperate ways. He couldn't wait to ask Ven about Terra.
"Tell me! Come on, please?" Roxas was ready to get on his knees, whatever it took to get Ventus to tell him. They were walking to the subway where Sora, Paine, Xion, Rikku and Vanitas were waiting for them. Ventus sighed, "Maybe later, okay?" Roxas rolled his eyes, "Fine."
"Hey you guys! How was school?" Sora was the first to greet them. "It was," Roxas looked at Ventus "eventful." "Well you'll never believe what happened to me!" Sora said excitedly. Everyone groaned, "Come on Sora you told us like a million times." Sora pouted, "Yeah, but Roxas didn't hear it!" Roxas sighed, "I don't really need to-"
Sora's Day
Sora woke up just like any other day after having an interesting dream about Riku. It included things that Sora would rather not talk about to anyone else. He walked to the bathroom with a blush on his face, eager to take care of his little 'problem'. He knocked on the door, "Roxas! I need to get in there!"
The door burst open revealing a very angry Roxas. "I can't believe he's making me do this. Stupid little..." Sora shrugged of Roxas pushing passed him. He knew that Roxas loved him. Sometimes too much. That was why Roxas doesn't like Riku. He was too overprotective. After his cold shower, he got dressed. His clothes were more colorful than Roxas' black, white, and grey wardrobe.
He put on his favorite purple skinny jeans and a black muscle shirt. He made sure his hair was perfectly spiked and put on some lip gloss. The reason why he was taking extra time to make sure he looked his best was because he thought that today would be his lucky day. You didn't have to be a genius or super observant to know that Sora liked Riku.
He just hoped Riku would notice and ask him out. He didn't really know if Riku was gay, but the way Sora saw it, if Riku wasn't already gay, Sora would turn him gay with his hotness. He walked downstairs, ignoring his brother's complaining as he and Cloud got in the car. "Have a good day Sora!" Cloud yelled as they drove off.
"Don't worry, I will." Sora rubbed his hands together evilly. He didn't care what anyone said, Riku and him belonged together. He began walking to the subway, he knew Paine, Xion and Rikku were waiting for him. On the subway they exchanged pleasantries, and talked about random things until they arrived at there stop.
"I'll see you guys later!" Sora called out as he ran into the school. He stopped once he came to a door labeled, 'student government'. He looked around and smiled when he saw the person he was looking for. "Riku!" he called and the silverette looked over. Sora almost drooled as he looked at Riku.
He was wearing a black form fitting t-shirt and khaki pants. Riku always dressed semi formally, and Sora loved it. Roxas, however, always made smart remarks about him with that leering grin on his face. Sora rolled his eyes at the thought, Roxas could be so blind sometimes. He just couldn't see the Riku that Sora did. The one right in front of him, with the sunlight streaming through the window, giving him an angelic glow making his kind smile even more amazing.
"Hello Sora. How is your morning so far?" Riku's voice was like honey to Sora's ears-
"That doesn't even make any sense! Honey isn't pleasing to your ears, infact it would make them all sticky and attract all sorts of insects!"
"Stop interrupting Roxas!"
-and he felt himself walking towards Riku. "It was good, Riku. What about you?" Riku shrugged, "It was okay, but I have to admit it's kind of boring without your brother and that troublesome boy called Seifer." Sora frowned, "Do you... miss my brother?" He was worried about this. Roxas was everything Sora wasn't, pretty, adorable, strong, and incredibly smart. What Riku was about to say, however, was worse than anything he thought the silverette would say.
"Yeah I guess I kind of do, don't worry though, he could never replace you. You're my best friend." Sora's heart broke. Is that how he saw him? Sure they had grown incredibly close in the few months he had been there, but Sora wanted more. As selfish as it probably sounded, he wanted Riku to be his.
Riku probably mistook the crushed look on his face, because next he said, "Oh, sorry, I mean we don't have to be best friends if you don't want to..." He scratched his neck awkwardly. Sora sighed, it was better than nothing, right? "No! I would love to be your best friend." Sora said, giggling and rubbing his hand up and down Riku's arm.
If Riku didn't get it yet, he would have to make him. Even if it made him seem annoying. As the rest of the day went by, Sora thought more about it. He realized he probably overreacted to what Riku said. If he wanted Riku so badly, then he would have to work from the bottom to the top. He drooled over the end result, Riku would be all muscular and dreamy, the wind blowing in his face as he declared his undying love for Sora.
"Mr. Strife! Pay attention!" yelled Xigbar. "Sorry sir!" Sora said, his face red with shame. He should'nt be thinking about this at school. He heaved a relieved sigh as the bell rang. He had some time to kill before he met everyone at the subway, so he went to go see Riku. He would usually be in the hallway making sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to be, as part of the Disciplinary Team.
He creeped down the hallway, planning to sneak up on Riku. He stopped however, when he saw a girl walk up to Riku. Sora knew that people liked the silverette. He tried his best to keep them away from Riku, but some were more persistent than others. He leaned in, trying to here what they were saying. "But I like you Riku!" the girl was saying. "Sorry Alicia, but I like someone else." Riku said, looking at her with sad eyes. "Who?" the girl said so quietly, that he had to strain his ears.
"I'm not going to tell you, it's none of your concern." Riku said firmly. The girl glared at him, "It is my concern! I think I deserve to know the girl that stole you away from me!" Riku sighed, "It's not a girl." The girl's eyes widened, "You-You're gay!?" There was a crowd gathering around them now. Riku nodded, "Sorry to decieve you." The girl smiled, "No, it's okay, I shouldn't have assumed..." she then let out a squeal, "OMG, who is it!? Tell us!" Riku shook his head, "Sorry, but it's a secret." He then walked away.
Sora couldn't stop the grin that stretched across his face. He couldn't believe it! This increased his chance of getting Riku to like him. Even though that does mean it could be someone else... he shook his head and ran to the subway. Nothing could get him off his high.
The End
Sora smiled excitedly, "Well?" Roxas raised his eyebrow, he would probably never understand his brother, "Uh, great. Two things. One, why do youhave to describe things in such detail? I really didn't need to know about your, um, wet dream. Two, why do you even like Riku?" Sora smiled, "You'll know when you're older. It's an incredible feeling." Roxas rolled his eyes. He now wished he could ditch Sora like the others did. "It's like one minute you're talking and-suddenly- you look in front if you and realize you've met you're other half."
Roxas sighed, was he still talking? Sora looked at Roxas, in a way that actually startled him. "I know you don't care or believe in this now, but it will happen when you least expect it, who knows? It could be soon." Sora wrapped his arms around Roxas, "And then we can totally talk about it!" he squealed. Roxas laughed and rolled his eyes. He would probably never understand his brother, but he loved him.
