Chapter IX: Date rhymes with denial
Sora's POV:
God, the pain in my chest was unbearable.. I just lost Belle and Beast to those god damn fucking undead! I was leaning on the walls outside Merlin's house. I was too angry and depressed to talk to anyone, even Roxas and Von. Since Beast's castle vanished, the terrain became barren and all attacks on the other worlds had stopped. I'm happy about that but why did we have to loose Belle and Beast? Von was busy planning on strategies and researching in case the undead attacked again. Roxas was helping Leon with repairs on the walls and around town. Me? I'm busy mourning the loss of great friends. I sigh. I couldn't help but let a tear escape from my eye that was held in for so long, it was starting to make my eye itch. All of them tried to cheer me up but none of their efforts worked, but I appreciated them though. Someone cleared his/her throat and snapped me from my daze. Sage uniform, brown eyes, messy hair, glasses and really tall staff. Who else?
"You all right?" No, I wasn't
"Yes"
"You are obviously lying" Damn, the eyebrow thing again.
"Shit!" I burst, he was startled
"Why does everyone keep bugging me?! I'M FINE! I'VE GOT ALL MY LIMBS ATTACHED TO ME! I'M 100 FINE SO BUZZ OFF!" I was exploding with emotions. He seemed sad that I exploded, as he was wearing a face similar to that of a 10 year old boy that was about to cry. I was proud of course! This kid was one of the most calm and collected people I knew! And I did that to him? I bet that this is his first time in many years. But his face shifted to a semi-blank and semi-angry expression. Yipe, I'm in for it now.
"So, you think you're fine? How's about petting your cheeks huh?" I did and I never knew… that I was already crying?
"Fine, eh? Look at yourself. Crying without even noticing, exploding on everyone's faces and pushing everyone away? Wow, really fine! All your limbs may be attached to you but…" he inched closer to me and placed a finger on my chest where my heart was. "Are you sure all of them are complete?" he walked away and left me there. I wasn't in any pain… at least physically.
Leon's POV:
I was talking to Tron asking for some advice for the repairs and how to ask Aerith out but someone placed a gloved hand on my shoulder. A brown one to be exact.
"We have a problem. It's Sora" he said
Roxas' POV:
I walked along the streets of Radiant Garden. Leon let me off work early for no reason. I walked in silence for a few minutes until I heard a little girl's sobs. I looked around for the source and I found Sora… so it wasn't a little girl… my mistake.
"Sora…" he was curled into a ball. I place a hand on his shoulder but he shrugged it away.
"Go away" he was crying
"Sora… let me help you" I placed a hand on his shoulder that he tried to shake off but I tightened my grip a bit.
"Roxas, please leave me. I don't want to explode on you like I did to Von" So they had a fight. I looked around for burn or cut marks that may have been made by Von's specialties, lightning, fire, ice and earth. None at all.
"He didn't hurt you did he?" I was gonna get that kid
"No… Other way around" Sora? You okay? You couldn't hurt a fly!
"But why?" he lifted his head from his cocoon to reveal red and puffy eyes, shook his head and went in again. He still crying and it seemed that he wasn't planning on stopping soon, so I gave him a sign that I was here and I cared. I hugged him. Until something fell on my head.
Von's POV:
"Merlin, could I borrow this book?" I held a book labeled Winnie the Pooh.
"Sure my boy" said the old wizard, brewing up a lip moisturizing paste or lip balm for Tifa's chapped lips. I cast the warp spell on it. If I was right, It would land a certain blond boy's head… Hehehe…
Roxas POV:
Winnie the Pooh
"Look Sora. It's Pooh's book. Lets go in" I said, he emerged from his little cocoon.
"You have repair to do"
"Leon let me off early" he wasn't replying… So I hit him on the head with the book and poof, he was in it. Soon, I hit myself with the book and I was swallowed by it, too.
Normal POV:
Once the two were in the book, a black mop haired sage picked up the book. Everything was going out as planned.
-+-
Sora POV:
"Sora? Sora?" Roxas was waving his in front of my face. We were lying under a tree on the 100 Acre Wood. This seemed like the only safe place in the world. None of the undead could attack this place. I would make sure of it.
"SORA!" I snapped out of my daze
"Sora, you're starting to worry me…" Roxas looked at me in the eye. Damn, I feel giddy.
"I… It's just.." he placed a finger on my lips and shushed me
"It wasn't your fault. You tried your best to heal Belle. It was the monster's spear that hit Belle, not yours. It was Beast's decision there and the others wanted to stay with him. See? You had nothing to do with it so you don't have to blame yourself" Thank you, Roxas. I would really like to repay your words with a really, really wet kis- WHAT THE?!
You like him'No I do not'
Yes you do'No I don't
Then what did you just say?'Nothing'
I would really like to repay you words with a really, really WET KISS'No, I did not say that!'
You can't deny it from me. I'm a part of you! Haha…'And what your name be?'
My name is denial and I'll be stuck with you until the day you accept that you're IN LOOOOVE with Roxas!'Go away'
I'll stop talking but IM STILL HEEERE"Fuck you" I said.
"WHAT?!" said Roxas, God! I just swore in front of ROXAS!
"Oh! Nothing! I was just talking to my brain" I said, trying to evade Roxas
"Sora, I was the only being living in your brain. Are you sure you're alright?" God, He was into me!
"Shit, Fuck me" I was frustrated. Huh? I saw his pale cheeks turn pink when I said Fuck me…
"Uhm… Sorry" I apologized
"S'okay" he stood up and offered me a hand. The moment our skin made contact, a jolt of electricity in my body made me back away. He looked offended. God, he must be thinking he's dirty or something because I pulled away. Thinking quickly, a scratched my back with the hand I used to hold him.
"Ant bit me… Hehehehe.." His expression said: Oh…
I took his hand again and the electricity shot through me, only this time, I didn't pull away. I let my body absorb the shock and the after effect was… pleasurable. We held hands as we walked to Pooh's house. The walk made me forget about Belle and Beast, that there was a war between Yin and Yang. God…
Was I in love with Roxas?-+-
Roxas POV:
"Hi Pooh!" Sora said with glee. Seeing him happy makes me happy too. I wonder why the other nobodies didn't become somebodies when they saw Sora smile or hear him laugh.
Looking at Sora makes me fell happy, makes me feel like I'm not a nobody. I don't know why… but he makes me feel all fuzzy inside. Anc I could keep his words off my mind…
"Shit, Fuck me" HOLY CRAP! GREEN THOUGHTS! GREEN THOUGHTS! BAD! Think of something else! Uh… Uh… Exploding Santa Clause! Good, that did it.
"Hullo, Sora. It's good that you came to visit." Said a little yellow and really chubby bear wearing a red shirt who I guessed was Pooh. Sora went to hug the little thing and unintentionally, an image popped into my head. A little yellow bear wearing a red shirt was standing with me at the mouth of a volcano and I 'accidentally' pushed it and it melted into plorp in the magma. Oh damn, Am I jealous? Of a little bear?
"Oohoohoohoohoo" said the cute bear as Sora tossed him up and down.
"Pooh, I'd like you to meet Roxas" the bear was looking at me up and down.
"Oh, Sora. Your boyfriend looks just like you" said the little bear that I know loved.
"Uh, Pooh, Roxas isn't my boyfriend" party pooper
"Oh, you don't have to lie Sora" said the little bear as he walked to his house. But it stopped in it's tracks when we heard a little squeaking in the air.
"Oh, bother. Piglet must have been blown away again" said the bear
"Well, lets go get him!" suggested Sora back to his bouncy self again
"Oh no Sora, not me. Go with your boyfriend instead." The bear went in his house.
"You go if you don't want me with you" I said and pouted. Does Sora see me as dirt?
"No.. it's just…" he couldn't think of a reason.
"I know I'm dirty…" I sigh. Why does Sora hate me?
"Shut up and come on" he just chuckled. We boarded an air balloon and flew off to find a little flying piglet.
-+-
"Oooooh, my tummy is rumbling" said the little bear as it rubbed it's tummy. It looked so pitiful and so cute at the same time, you'd be confused.
"Let's go to Rabbit's and get some honey." We went to Rabbit's 'house' (more like tree).
"I'm sorry, Pooh but I'm fresh out" said the cream colored bunny.
"Let's get some." I suggested and Sora nodded.
-+-
We were all eating some honey . Sora and Pooh, who I just befriended were eating their honey sloppily. A bit of honey escaped Sora's mouth and flowed down.
"Sora. You've got something on your-" I approached him and wiped the honey away from his mouth with my thumb and put my thumb in my mouth. Pooh giggled and I realized what I did. The bit of honey I just ate came from Sora's mouth mixed with saliva. Not gross at all..
"No need to get naughty now" said Pooh, chuckling. It was almost sundown.
"Say, Pooh. What gave you the idea that I'm Sora's boyfriend?" This bear was just too young to know about advanced relationships.
"Oh, a man in the mountains told me." Said the bear.
"And what did this man look like?" asked Sora
"Well, he was holding a very tall stick and a large hoolahoop was around his shoulders." Said the bear innocently
"Staff and Ring around the shoulders? Roxas… I think Pooh's talking about Juno's Sage uniform" Von, like the other sages did have rings with their uniforms.
"Oh and his hair resembled a messy mop. Ooh, I think I said too much" the bear covered his mouth and laughed softly.
-+-
We were walking in the cave with Pooh hanging on my shoulders. We wanted to know who this Sage was, even though we had a pretty good idea who it was.
"It was where I hid before, Sora" he said to Sora who was leading the way. We heard a gasp and icicles covered the way to the clearing. Sora and I summoned our keyblades and cut through the wall of ice. There was no man there. But there were a familiar black round lying on the ground. Now we knew who it really was.
-+-
We were sitting on the moonlight hill on the tree stump. Sora was a bit tipsy, maybe he was sleepy. After all, he worn himself down by playing all day. This was sure to lift his spirits up. He was sleeping at the crook of my neck. Pooh had already gone home. Emotions filled me as I watched him sleep. I couldn't contain myself anymore…
"Sora, I think I'm in love with you" I said very fastly
"Mhmmhmhmhm… I wuv woo too…" he said in his sleep. WHAT?
"Sora? You awake?" I shrugged so his head moved
"Mhhhhhh… I want some cheese… gimme cheese… and honey too" he chuckled in his sleep. He looked so cute. God, temptation! I couldn't help it. I held up his head and kissed him between his lips and his cheek. Not considered his first kiss.
"I love you…" he said softly, but he was still sleeping. I chuckled at this.
"Roxas…" okay! That startled me. Maybe his dream changed… yeah, that was it.
-+-
Von's POV:
The book opened and a soft spring fresh light lit the room I occupied. Roxas was carrying a sleeping Sora bridal style.
"Where did you go?" I asked acting innocently, pretending to read a book without my glasses.
"100 Acre Wood. I'll be back" he took Sora to his room and returned to me.
"How was your day?" I asked. I was a really great actor.
"One of the best I had so far" his smile was soft.
"Oh. That's good then" I walked closed the book and Roxas took it from me.
"Girl Magazines?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Uh… Yuffie made me take it and I had free time and-" he cut me
"No need to explain." He raised his hand to silence me.
"Can you read without your glasses?" he asked
"No" oh SHIT! Wrong answer!
"How come you were reading when I came in?" he asked, eyebrow still up.
"Uhh…" he inched closer to me and placed his lips near my ear.
"Thanks for this day" Huh?
"We found this at the mountains at 100 Acre Wood. Make sure the owner gets them" He handed me familiar glasses… MY GLASSES! He was already gone….
