AN: alrighty! Chapter three is here. I kinda had a bit of writers block during this one so I just kinda winged it. Thanks Manami Nightray for helping me out with the end! I owe ya big time! But, without further ado, chapter three begins.

YAOI! Flammers beware.

Chapter three
Chocolate

Roxas awoke to the warmth of his friend's arms around him, brown hair in his face. 'am I dreaming,' he wondered. Alas he was not. By the looks of it, both had fallen asleep in their clothes. 'Why would we do that..?'

The events of the previous night came flooding back. The way Sora had comforted him. It wasn't like his family did. The way he did so was genuine, sweet, and actually caring. Not just some mask put on to look good around others.

Roxas merely shrugged it off and cuddled closer to Sora. He didn't care about what happened then. He only cared about what was happening now. He was being held in the strong arms of his best friend... The one he cared for like a brother.

He began to drift back to sleep, dreams starting to invade his mind. But before he lost all consciousness, he heard a voice. "Goodnight, Roxy..." Silly Sora. He'd have to explain the story behind that name one day. One day. "I love you," Roxas heard the voice say again.

No... He couldn't have heard that. And if he did, it was his own dreams.

*•*•*

"Wake up."

Roxas only groaned, feeling around for the body that was once next to him. Gone. "Ugh... Go back to sleep sora..."

"No. Now come on! Mom made waffles!"

Roxas only groaned again.

Sora sighed. A devilish smile came creeping onto his face. "Dad," he called out.

Roxas jolted up. "NO! NO NEED TO GET THE BEAST IN HERE! I'M UP!" He jumped out of the bed with wide eyes, afraid of what might come.

Sora burst into laughter earning a slap on the back of the head from Roxas.

"Seriously?!"

Sora was to caught up in his fit of laughter to reply. About a minute passed before he managed to stop. "Hahaha! A- alright... Heheh... I'm sorry... We should, heh, go downstairs and eat."

Roxas only rolled his eyes.

The two headed downstairs and into the kitchen, the smell of syrup filling the air.

"Mmmm. Smells great, Mrs. Fair," Roxas said, turning to face Aries.

"Thank you Roxas. But you know I'd rather you called me by my first name," she said, giving Roxas a beaming smile.

Roxas couldn't help but find himself smiling as well. Just looking at Aries could plaster a smile onto anyone's face.

Zack walked past the two, carrying his mourning cup of coffee. On his way past, he landed a bonk on Roxas' head with the mourning paper. Roxas only laughed it off, seeing as it was a usual thing for him to do.

"Any more coffee left," Roxas asked.

With that statement, all eyes were on him. Not a sound was made. No one moved.

"What?"

Sora stared at him, wide eyed. "Since when do YOU drink coffee?!"

"For about a year now, why?"

"B- I- wha? I thought you hated the stuff!"

"That was before I started needing the extra kick." Roxas went to pour himself a cup, adding in the sugar and milk. "It's not the end if the world you guys."

Aries hurried over to Roxas. "It's no big deal that you drink coffee, Roxas, but my husband's?"

Roxas raised a brow. "Whats wrong with his coffee?"

Zack laughed. "I got that brew on my last trip to Asgard. That there is some of the strongest shit you'll ever taste."

Roxas only smiled. "In that case, lets try it." Immediately he brought the cup to his lips, taking a small sip of the black liquid. His face retorted. "Ugh... This is velach beans isn't it Zack?"

He nodded, almost surprised he was able to recognize it by taste.

"Give me your cup. You forgot an ingredient."

He handed Roxas the coffee with some hesitation.

Roxas turned to Aries. "You don't have any vanilla, do you?"

Aries went into a nearby cabinet and returned with a bottle of it.

Roxas took it from her hands and added a few squirts into both cups, then mixing. "There. Should taste a hell of a lot better now." He handed the coffee back to Zack, who stared at the now slightly darkened liquid.

He took a small sip, simply to test it. His eyes lit up like stars in the sky. "Roxas... This taste great! Where did you learn to do that?"

A soft smile found its way on to Roxas' face. "My mom taught me... She loved baking and cooking and trying out different things. So... I piked a few things up. Velach Vanilla Cappuccinos being one of those things."

The room fell silent for a second. "Sorry... Didn't mean to bring up old things."

"No! It's fine. It was a good thing. Lets just forget it and eat, ok?"

With that, they all sat down to their breakfast, idle conversation filling the room. Roxas could never understand how Sora could stay so fit with his mom's cooking. It was great! Everything she made seemed to have a magic to it. As if she was a natural cook. It just seemed to come to her. Hand Aries any random things and she'd prepare a gourmet meal. How anyone in that house could stay that skinny with a cook like that was unbeknownst to him.

As Roxas munched on his waffle, a thought came to his mind. One he always couldn't keep contained. "So, Sora, what do you want to do today?"

"I don't know. I was thinking we go sledding at the hill."

"Sounds good! Haven't been to Sunlit Hill in awhile. Be nice to go back."

"Think they still have that little playground," Sora asked.

"Maybe. Hey, wait, how are we going to get there? It's a good 5 miles away."

Sora smirked. "Well we got a phone call this mourning while you were asleep. Guess who came home early?"

Roxas' skin seemed to lose all color. "Oh god... Leon's back?"

Sora seemed to groan. "No... But his boyfriend is."

Roxas gave out a sigh of relief. "Better my brother then yours... He scares me to much."

"I could say the same about yours!"

A new voice dropped in. "Oh? Could you now?" The two turned to see Roxas' half brother, Cloud Strife.

Sora seemed shrink ten sizes just by locking eyes with him. "H- how'd you even get in?"

Cloud held up an old key. "You know I used to work for your dad. He gave me a key years ago."

"B- but that was before we even moved here! I was three for god's sake!"

Zack chimed in, that devilish grin pasted upon his face. "Never was a fan of new things. So I rekey the locks. He holds a copy of the master key."

"W- wait... So you mean to tell me that Cloud has access to any and all property you have or ever will own?"

"Thats right."

"BUT HE'S INSANE!"

Zack and Cloud seemed to home in on him. They spoke in unison, as if acting on a single mind. "Oh? At what makes us crazy? Because we do some of the most dangerous mercenary jobs we can find and carry around the largest blades you've ever seen?"

Sora shrunk into a corner. "N- no... Sorry sir's..."

Roxas, watching this unfold let out a small giggle. "Come on, leave him alone, Cloud. Zack, well... I have no control of what you do..."

"Damn right."

The three shared a laugh before Roxas turned to Sora. "Come on. Lets go get ready. And don't worry! I'll make sure Cloud doesn't kill you..."

Sora immediately hid behind Roxas. "G- good..."

The two went off into the bathroom to brush their teeth, all the while Sora would glance behind him, afraid he may bump into the beast known as Cloud.

As they reached the door, Cloud called to them. "Now don't you two even think of showering together."

This comment alone was enough to leave them both flustered. They exchanged glances, each as embarrassed as the other.

"Y- you wanna take one first," Sora asked, the blush never leaving his cheeks.

"Yeah... Sure," Roxas said, the same fluster still upon him.

With that, Roxas entered the bathroom, closing and locking the door. He stripped himself of his clothing, shivering as he felt the cold air hit his skin. He stepped in and started the water, feeling the warmth envelope his body.

What Cloud said... Oh, how he wished that would happen... How he'd love to feel Sora's arms around him...

As these thoughts flooded him, he felt the blood rush to his lower regions. He leaned against the wall and slid to the ground. 'Dammit, Sora,' he thought. 'Why'd you have to go and do this to me...'

Roxas wrapped his hand around his now erect member and began to slowly pump. He gradually began to pick up speed, allowing his imagination to wonder into further corners. He imagined Sora over him, slowly massaging his hole, then sliding into him.

Just the thought of Sora inside him was enough to push him over the edge. His eyes squinted as he felt his seed release.

He panted slightly before standing and washing himself off. "Better hurry out."

Meanwhile~

Sora seemed to have the same thoughts.

He whipped himself off before sitting up straight in his bed.

"You know, you can always just admit how you feel about him."

Sora jumped at the sudden voice. He turned to the doorway, meeting eyes with none other then Cloud. "H- how long have you been standing there," he asked.

He shrugged. "About a minute."

"Y- you saw me?"

"Nope. Just got here. At least now I know my hunch was right about what you were doing."

Sora flushed a bright red.

Cloud gave a chuckle. "Don't be ashamed. Come out as to how you feel about him while at the hill."

"You mean your ok with this?"

"Why wouldn't I be? Hell, Roxas likes you too. Who am I to get in the way of mutual feelings?"

"H- he told you he likes me?"

"No. But I stole a peak at his journal. That says so clearly. Or, well it did before he burnt it."

Sora blushed before it hit him. "Wait, Roxas burnt his journal? Why?"

Cloud chuckled. "Because he didn't like it when I'd snoop through it."

Sora shared in his laugh.

"I'm going to leave you alone to think about this," Cloud said as he turned to leave. "But uh, Sora," he turned to face him, locking eyes with the brunnette, a glare of icy death replacing the warm and kind one. "If you hurt my brother in any way shape or form, so help me god, I WILL kill you. Got it?"

With a heavy gulp, Sora nodded. Almost immediatly, the smile returned. "Good. See you two in the car." With that, Cloud exited the room.

Just as he was about to pass the bathroom, the door opened. Out came Roxas, a towel drapped around his waist.

Roxas raised a brow. "Cloud? What were you doing in there?"

"Brother things," he said.

Roxas shivered at these words. Last he'd said that, he went into his room to find it in ruins. 'God, what has he done to Sora,' he thought to himself.

Hesitantly, he approached Sora's room. He was surprised, upon entry, to see no sign of a struggle.

Roxas wasn't sure if he should be relived or worried.

He chose the latter.

"Dare I ask what he did to you?"

Sora seemed to jump at the sound of Roxas' voice. He had not moved an inch since Cloud had left the room.

"You ok, Sora?"

"Hmm? Y- yeah... Fine."

Roxas raised a brow. He had known Sora for nearly 15 years. He could tell when he was lying. He knew it would be no use to try and pry. Sora was nothing if not stubborn.

"Alright... Well... Get out while I get dressed."

Sora let out a sigh. Better get this out now rather then later. "No... Roxas, sit down... We need to talk."

"Sora... All I have on is a towel... Can't it wait?"

Sora gave him a stern look. One that Roxas had seen before. It wasn't an angry look, nor a heartless one. It was a glare that told others he was serious.

Roxas complied and sat. "Whats wrong?"

Sora felt his stomach drop. 'Dammit,' he thought. 'Should have thought this out more...' He looked Roxas in the eyes, sapphire meeting crystal. "We've known each other since we were for and have been best friends since... But... God, this is hard to say."

Roxas shifted a bit, now interested in where Sora was taking this. "Go on."

Sora took a deep breath before continuing. "I... I don't want to be friends anymore, I-" Sora stopped mid sentence, noticing the look on Roxas' face. It had gone from intrigued to frightened. "No! N- not like that... Thats not what I meant."

Roxas let out a sigh of relief. "Then what did you mean?"

"Well... I wanna be more... Maybe, well, allot more. I guess the only thing to say is..." A lump formed in his throat, the words caught in his mouth. "I love you, Roxas."

Roxas' eyes widened. Had he heard right? Was this really happening? 'No. This has to be some dream gone right,' he thought. But no. This was real. How could he tell? Simple. Sora did the one this Roxas never included in his dreams. He hung his head in shame.

"I cant believe I just did that..."

Roxas grabbed Sora by the shoulders, no way in hell did he mean it. And if he did, what he was about to do what be all the better in the long run. Without giving a second thought, Roxas pulled Sora into a kiss.

Sora was shocked at first. There was no tongue, nothing like that. Jest a peck on the lips.

"I love you too, Sora."

With that, Sora dove in, melting into another kiss, his tongue begging for entry.

Roxas gladly complied, allowing Sora to explore every crevasse of his mouth.

Roxas tasted just as Sora dreamt. Sweet. Like chocolate.

The kiss broke, both flustered. Sora looked down, a tent had formed in his towel and it threatened to just pop out. "I'll uh... Wait for you downstairs."

Roxas nodded. "So does this mean..."

"I think it's safe to say, yeah."

Roxas smiled. "Good. Now get out while I get dressed!"

Sora beamed a smile before leaving the room and closing the door.

His heart was racing, his head pounding. "I cant believe I just did that... Im dating Roxas Strife!"

Roxas had just finished pulling on his boxers. "I don't believe it... I'm dating Sora Leonheart! A chocolate haired angel!"

An: There ya go. I hope you guys approve of me using Leon's last name rather then Zack's or Aries' last name. I took kinda long to upload this. Sorry. All dat court custody shit. Thanks again Manami Nightray for helping me with the writers block. Welp, till next time.

Yaoi comes soon ^_^
