Chapter III: Sweet and Awkward Moments
Sora was confused. King Mickey had summoned him in the middle of the night. He arrived at the throne room where the king sat and Goofy and Donald beside him.
"Sora..." said King Mickey, he had a concerned look on his face
"Yes, Your Majesty?" said Sora, he was back to his usual bouncy self again, thanks to Roxas' help.
"Sora... Are you in contact with Roxas?" asked King Mickey
"... Yes" dropping his smile
"Sora, we can't trust him... He's a nobody. The nobodies must be planning some kind of comeback through Roxas" said the king, looking sadder every moment.
"But... He betrayed the organization! He's-" he was cut by the kings
"But it doesn't mean he's one of us. I'm sorry Sora, we're going to have to take him out of you. Donald." he said in a barely audible voice, he turned away.
Donald reluctantly stepped forward and he closed his eyes and raised his staff. Barriers formed around Sora, preventing him from moving.
"But! Your Majesty! Please! Don't do this!" Sora fell to the ground and started crying
"I'm sorry, Sora" the king said.
"Please! King Mickey! He's my friend! Don't kill him! Don't!" Sora begged, crystalline tears falling down his cheeks. King Mickey took a peek and the sight broke his heart. He ushered Donald to stop and the barriers dropped.
"We're sorry, Sora" they all group hugged the fragile and shaking boy.
"We promise we won't hurt Roxas" said the king
"Thank you... I promise he can be trusted" said Sora, still shaking.
"We believe you, Sora" said Donald
"Yup! Well, you'd better be getting to bed! It's late y'know" said Goofy, ushering Sora off. He thanked them one last time and went off.
"I can't believe we almost did that..." said the king
"I can't believe we hurt Sora..." said Goofy, making them bow their heads in shame. King Mickey made a hard decision.
"Donald, get me some parchment, Goofy, get me a bottle"

Sora was so afraid. Tears started pouring out of his eyes once he reached his room.. He was afraid for Roxas. He shook and sobbed there until his darker part couldn't take it anymore. A finger tapped his shoulder. He shifted on his bed and looked at the figure before him. It was Roxas, in the flesh, alive and breathing. Sora jumped and wrapped his arms around Roxas' neck, sobbing on the crook of his neck. Roxas was rubbing his back and hugging him.
"I was- so – scared" he shook uncontrollably
"Shh... It's okay now... They won't hurt you" Roxas said reassuringly
"B-but- what about you?" he was hiccupping now.
"I'll be alright. Go to sleep now, I don't want eye bags on my face" he said jokingly. Too late, Sora was already asleep on his neck. Roxas lay down the sleeping boy on the white fluffy bed. He watched him sleep but his strength was almost used up. He faded back into Sora's mind, but before doing so, he left a friendly kiss on the boy's forehead.

It was already 12PM and Sora just woke up with one hell of a headache. He rubbed his sore head and washed up a bit. When he got finished changing, he saw that Goofy had let himself in.
"Sora, the king wants to see you" he said in a weird happy, happy tone.
Sora's insides shook. This must have been some kind of plan to pull Roxas out of him. But King Mickey had always been true to his promises, why should he stop now? He did promise not to harm Roxas...
"Okay... but why?" Sora cocked his head
"It's a secret" Goody winked and led the way. Sora still hadn't eaten breakfast, nor did he wash yet. When the grand doors of the throne room opened, he saw two familiar men, wearing pointy hats.
"Merlin! Yen Sid!" he ran to greet them. Merlin was the same as usual while Yen Sid was as stern as ever. But the small moment was interrupted when acid green flames erupted on one corner. The witch, Maleficent was standing before them.
"What's she doing here??" Sora, looking confused.
"Well, Sora. They all agreed to help take Roxas out of you." said King Mickey in his usual jolly voice.
"But-" Sora felt nervous, he didn't want Roxas out of him.
"After all, you'll need someone to talk to without looking crazy!" said Goofy. Sora got their point, they were talking out Roxas to be his companion.
"Okay... but.. How did you get her to help?" he pointed at Maleficent
"It's impolite to point, boy. You see, when I saw that organization's castle, I was so intrigued by it, that I created my own world as a place for my castle. Now, I own the grandest castle in all of creation!" she said looking at the king, as if to say: My castle is better that yours.
"Thanks then..." said Sora, a bit reluctant
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have seen the blueprint of my castle. Consider it a debt now paid." The three magicians formed a triangle around Sora. They began chanting inaudible words and soon, a white beam of light erupted from Merlin's wand, hitting Yen Sid's hat, bouncing it to Maleficent's staff. As soon as the triangle was completed, Sora felt weak and passed out...

Sora's POV:
My eyes opened and my sight was blurry. The ceiling of Disney Castle's guest room slowly materialized in above me. I tried to remember what happened and the events started coming back to me. If their operation was a success, if their intentions were really true... where was Roxas? I sighed, feeling hurt, not sure if Roxas was still... I erased the thought. I turned around in my bed and my eyes met with a pair or sapphire eyes.
"EEEEEK!" I squealed like a little girl and fell out of bed. An oh so familiar blue eyed blond leaned out of the bed, looking down on me with an annoying grin.
"Hi" he said, his grin clearly saying: HA! He fell down! He placed his feet on the ground, maybe to get up and help me, but his knees just wobbled and he fell on top of me. Our position was a bit awkward, and our noses were already touching. He rolled over to got off me and I tried to stand up, but my knees shook badly too. I supported myself with the desk beside the bed and helped Roxas up to the bed too. My body felt really heavy and fatigued, I didn't need Roxas to tell me his body was too. We both lay in bed, neither moving not talking. I decided to break the silence.
"Roxas?" there was no reply. I looked over him and saw he was already sleeping like a log... no, an angel. He mumbled in his sleep.
"Hayner... Pence... Olette... ice cream.." he chuckled in his sleep and a small amount of droop left his mouth, I couldn't help but giggle
I stood up and summoned a random keyblade and Sleeping Lion showed up. I used it as a staff. I had to talk to King Mickey.
Roxas' POV:
I felt Sora leave the room I immediately woke up. I raised both my heavy hands in the air and summoned Oblivion and Oathkeeper.. I missed these two a lot. I sent them away and remembered that Sora and I were the same person and both Masters of the Keyblade... so I summoned a Keyblade that made me cry.
The Bond of Flame...
I heard footsteps outside so I banished the Keyblade and wiped my tears away then turned away. Acting asleep, I heard Sora enter with a clunk, clunk sound. He must have used a Keyblade for support. He climbed on bed and covered me with the sheets and gave me a friendly peck on the cheeks that made me feel all fuzzy inside...
"Happy Birthday, Roxas" he whispered into my ear, not knowing I was well awake. He fell asleep that his back was facing me. I watched him shift many times, not knowing he was scooting closer to me until his head was lying on the crook of my neck, his cinnamon scent filling my nostrils. He seemed to be talking in his sleep.
"Mmm... Vanilla..." French Vanilla to correct him. Axel used to tell me that I smelled of French Vanilla. So Sora was cinnamon and I was French vanilla. Completely different scents, both fragrant at the same time. Sora cuddled me as if I were an overgrown doll as I slowly fell asleep.

Sora's POV:
My lips got closer and closer... I was finally going to kiss Kairi without Riku, who was lying on a corner with all the known Keyblades in the world sticking out of him, butting in. I was getting closer... and closer... and I stopped. My snapped open and I was lying on top of a very, very red Roxas, our feet tangled in a strange position, with my mouth about an inch away from his.
"Looks like you had a wet dream, buddy" Roxas said, I slowly backed away. I looked down on me and I soiled myself, including Roxas, which was more awkward. I untangled myself from Roxas and stood up. My knees weren't wobbly anymore. I squeaked an apology and ran to the bathroom. I heard him yell jokingly through the white door.
"Better hurry up there! I still have to wash you off of me!" he chuckled.
"Great, I almost kissed Roxas, have myself waking up with him in a position ready for... that and releasing myself on him! Just great!" he said as he washed himself.
"As I recall, I'm the only one who lives inside you. So you've gotta be going crazy" said Roxas, teasing Sora more
"Haha! Funny!" Sora said sarcastically. He finished washing himself and let Roxas in. He was wearing a tight white and gray shirt with blue shorts that was smeared with... Sora. This made Sora blush... a LOT. Roxas raised an eyebrow before closing and locking the door.

Normal POV:
Breakfast was silent for Sora. Roxas had been befriending King Mickey and the others while Sora was silently staring at his golden plate...
"Sora, Is everything alright?" asked King Mickey
"Yeah, Sora. Anything wrong?" said Roxas, putting emphasis on every word.
"Nothing is! Excuse me" he bolted right up and marched to the garden.
"Anything ya did, Roxas?" asked Goofy
"More like what he did" Roxas chuckled, recalling what happened.
--
Roxas awoke pretty early, but his body was too lazy to follow the commands of his brain to stand up. He wanted to get dressed for today already. He just lay there, Sora still on the crook of his neck. He looked down on the slightly smaller boy who had started kissing his neck. He was paralyzed
WHAT THE?!
Sora started licking on Roxas' neck, trailing kisses from the crook of his neck to his cheeks. First was kissing, to licking, to nipping then to biting. It wasn't painful, in fact, it was really pleasurable. Roxas whimpered as Sora licked the lines of his jaw. Sora was starting to tangle Roxas' limbs. They got into a very awkward position similar to that of a couple who were ready to do "something". Sora was leaning closer... and closer...
"I'M NOT READY FOR MY FIRST KISS YET!" Roxas squeaked, more like yelled in a high-pitched voice. Sora's eyes snapped open just in time to stop himself from coming any closer. They both looked down and it seemed that Sora had soiled them both...
--
"Roxas? Roxas?" Donald waved his hands in front of the young boy. Roxas snapped out of his daze.
"Huh? Excuse me" Roxas exited to the garden. But they heard him mutter: "I love blackmail" as he giggled.

Roxas' POV:
I found him by a bush of white roses, staring at them involuntarily. I lean near his ear and talk.
"Hey..." trying to sound as "husky" as possible. He stood up and faced me, yet, not making any eye contact. A blushed crept unto his cheeks.
"Sorry about this morning. But will you please let the subject die already?" he said to me, sounding desperate.
"Fine" I said, giving up. I wouldn't like this guy grow up mentally scarred. I noticed he was staring at my neck.
"...Did I do that?" I looked down and saw kiss and bite marks I never noticed earlier.
"You kinda did" I rubbed the back of my neck as he got redder and redder.
"Sorry" he turned away. Beside the white roses were the red ones. I compared them to Sora's blush and the red roses lost.
"Will you please let the subject drop already?" I said mimicking his words.
"What time is it?" he said, maybe he was trying to change the topic.
"Sora, I won't change this topic until you accept your mistake and forgive yourself for it" I said, putting a hand on my hip, imitating a teacher.
"No, really. What time is it?" he asked. I grabbed his chin and directed his face at the castle's biggest tower that had a clock on it. 2PM
"Gummi Ship must be ready by now." he said walking off as I followed him.
"You going somewhere?... Without me?" I puppy pouted, which was effective enough to make his stop.
"Of course you'll be coming! The trip's for you anyway!" he said, pinching my cheeks.
"Where are we going anyway?" I asked, cocking my head in confusion.
"To the home of Sea-Salt ice cream of course" he winked suggestively.
