I'll Find You
Hellos again! If you're here, that must mean that you read the first chapter of this horrible mess, and decided to see what else I could come up with. So, here you go!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom hearts. I also did not invent coffee, which I really regret. I mean, who'd of thought that they could pack so much hyper into a cup of liquid?
Chapter two- huggin' the new kid!
"Well, now that class is over," Axel was eagerly waiting for the blond boy to finish packing his notes in his bag, dancing with impatience "We can go EAT!"
"Wow, Axel loves his food." Sora smirked.
"That's not all he loves." Roxas slyly added, Axel blushing slightly at the statement.
"Oh, can it ROXY!" Axel laughed as Roxas snarled with anger, glaring at the taller boy.
"Roxy?" Sora raised an amused eyebrow.
"Yeah." Axel rubbed the back of his head. "Roxas's nickname. He hates it."
"I see." Sora nodded his head slowly. "Are you ready?"
"Yup." Roxas nodded, swinging his backpack over his shoulder. "Ready!"
"C'mon, let's go!" Axel was jumping around with eagerness.
"Dude." Sora shook his head. "Chill."
"He's not going to listen." Roxas said, blushing when Sora turned to look at him, raising his eyebrow once again. "He's like a love struck puppy." Roxas shook his head again.
"Livestock puppy?" Sora was amused by this.
"Yeah." Roxas looked closely at Sora's face to see how he would react to the next sentence Roxas had to say. "Axel wants to see his boyfriend."
"I see." Roxas waited for any negative comments. "What's his name?"
"RIKU!" Axel sprinted down the hallway, scattering people, most knowing it was an everyday occurrence, moving out of the way with haste before they were trampled. He was running towards a boy with longer silver hair, who was laughing as the red haired boy picked him up, and twirled him around a bit.
They caught their breath, and rejoined the two other boys still standing where Axel had left them. Sora was smiling a little, Roxas happy on the inside to see it. He liked it when Sora smiled. Riku tilted his head curiously at the new person standing with Roxas.
"Who's that?"
"The name's Sora." Sora nodded his head at Riku.
"I'm Riku." Riku smiled, but when Sora gave a small smile back, Axel made a funny noise. When he realized everyone was giving him a strange look, he sighed.
"Aww, now I have to explain, don't I?"
"Yeah." Riku tapped Axel on the nose.
"Hey!" Axel jumped with surprise. "Well, it's just that's the first time I've seen Sora smile."
"Really?" Riku looked at the smaller boy again, who was engaged in a conversation with Roxas. Well, Roxas was talking, the other was listening to the blond ramble on.
"Yeah." Axel shrugged. "He's a bit of a loner."
"I see." Riku smiled. "We'll get him social in no time!"
"I don't doubt it." Axel shook his head, smiling fondly at the younger boy.
"Are you ready to go now?" Axel and Riku turned to see two identical pairs of blue eyes staring at them.
"Yeah." Axel nodded. "Let's go!"
"Whatever." Sora shrugged, strolling after Axel and Riku.
Before they got too far however, a yell came out of the crowd of students. "DARK!"
Roxas looked at Sora, remembering that this was his last name. He frowned with worry and confusion when he saw Sora tense up. Axel and Riku had come back to see what the holdup was, and were surprised to see a tensed up, wide eyed Sora, trembling a little.
"Sora?" Roxas whispered, grabbing his hand. "What's wrong?"
"Hey!" the call came again "DARK!" Axel and Riku looked around, spotting a boy with blond hair, mostly covered by his hat, and blue eyes strut down the hallway after him. "Long time no see."
"Seifer." Sora had regained his calm, and turned to face the older blond, crossing his arms.
"How've you been?" Seifer smirked. "You know, I didn't expect to see you again."
"I didn't expect to see you either." Sora's voice was cold and flat.
"Well, now."Seifer smirked again at the tone of Sora's voice. "Someone a little upset with his mother?"
"Bastard!" Sora hissed, fury blazing in his eyes, fists clenching and unclenching.
"Well." Seifer knew he'd gotten to the smaller boy. "See you around, Sora!" and with that, he walked away.
"I'm going to fucking KILL him!" Sora snarled, shaking with anger, and clenching his fists so hard that he started to bleed from his nails digging into his palms.
"Whoa, Sora!" Axel put a large hand on Sora's thin shoulder, frowning when Sora flinched away. "It's okay, calm down."
"I'm calm." Sora shrugged, returning to his normal emotionless face.
"Sora..." Roxas sighed, reaching out his own hand to touch Sora's own. He smiled when he felt the smaller boy slip his hand into Roxas's own, tightening his hold for comfort. "Let's get out of here."
Sora nodded, giving Roxas a small smile, and allowing himself to be pulled along by the taller, by three inches, boy.
Axel looked at Riku, nodding his head in the direction of the two boys hands, and Raised his eyebrow.
Riku smirked, shaking his head, knowing Axel had a plan, and it involved all four of them. But mostly Roxas and Sora.
"Hurry up you two!" Roxas called back, Axel and Riku hurrying to do exactly that. Once the boys had reached the doors, they pushed them open, stepping out into the yard, sitting over by a tree that they all liked. Sora looked at the tree with joy written all over his face.
"Your school has a Sakura blossom tree?"
Roxas and the others looked pleased, happy that the youngest there actually seemed to be enjoying something.
"My brother helped me plant a tree like this when I was little." Sora's eyes turned sad, and he sank to the ground, leaning against the tree.
"Sora." Axel paused debating whether or not to ask the question he really wanted to know. "Where is your brother? Every time you mention him, you get sad. Why?"
Sor stiffened, then after a few minutes relaxed. "Well, Axel." Sora turned to stare at the oldest boy. "My brother's name is Squall Leonheart. Although, he prefers Leon. He's older than me by three years, but he and I used to be close. But then..." Sora paused, closing his eyes.
"Then what?" Roxas gently said, reaching out his hand to hold the smaller one's once again.
"Then..." Sora continued, his eyes still closed. "Then mom and Dad got a divorce, and we were separated. I stayed with dad, and mom got Leon. Mom and Leon moved really far away at first, and we used to send each other letters. Now I have no idea where they are. Last time I sent a letter, it was returned, saying they had moved. I was so upset at first. Now I guess I'm a little more used to it. But dad...he's never gotten over it. He blames me for all the problems in his marriage with Mom. He still blames me for Leon and Mom moving away, and losing contact with them." Sora shook his head sadly. "And sometimes..." He stopped, Axel, Riku and Roxas staring at him with wide eyes.
"Sometimes...?" Axel asked, wanting to know more.
"I'm sorry, it was stupid of me to tell you all of that, I shouldn't have said anything." Sora shook his head back and forth a few times, to clear it. "I don't even know why I told you. I guess there's just...something about you three that...makes me want to tell you everything." Sora closed his eyes again, whispering painfully. "But I can't. He'll kill me, I can't."
"Oh, Sora." Roxas sighed, and pulled the smaller one into a warm hug. Sora's eyes widened, and he slowly raised his arms, and wrapped them around the taller boy, completing the embrace.
"Hey!" Axel laughed. "C'mon Riku, I feel left out!" he then hurried over to hug the small boy as well, Riku right after him.
"Man, Sora." Roxas pulled back so he could talk to the boy, Axel and Riku already sitting where they'd been a few minutes ago. "You need to loosen up! You feel like you've never had a hug before!"
Sora shook his head, the others staring at him in complete and utter shock.
"You-you've never had a hug before?" Roxas stuttered in disbelief.
"Well, when I was little, from my brother." Sora shrugged. "That's it though."
"You poor deprived child!" Axel cried dramatically. "Well, since you don't really have one, we'll be your family!"
"Yeah!" Riku was getting excited as well.
"Yeah." Roxas smiled softly at Sora, the smaller boy grabbing a hold of Roxas's shirt, hiding his face in the fabric. "Sora?" Roxas gently coaxed the smaller boy to lift his head up. "What's wrong?"
The others were startled to see tears in the small boy's eyes. Sora sniffed, and pulled out his art pad again, wanting to draw something for his new 'family', to show them his thanks.
"What are you drawing?" Roxas wanted to see, but again Sora wouldn't let him see. This time though, instead of glaring at the blonde, he simply reached up a hand and turned the boy's face away, so he couldn't see. Axel and Riku looked at each other, and smirked once again, as Roxas blushed, Sora's face also showing a tint of red. The three who were not drawing, quietly conversed, leaving the artist to his work. Half an hour later he quietly got up, and stretched, getting the other three's attention. He held out a piece of drawing paper, and Riku, Axel and Roxas crowded around it, eager to see it. They saw on one side, Axel and Riku sitting beside each other, holding hands and laughing at something. But the other side was what made them really pay attention. On the other side, Sora had drawn Roxas and himself leaning against each other, back to back. They were both looking up at the sky, Sora reaching for Roxas's hand that lay in the grass, a content smile on both of their faces. Sora was wearing long sleeves, but Roxas was wearing a t-shirt, a small vest over it. It was very well done, and the three found that it was like looking at a black and white photo it was so real! They were shocked, Riku most of all, since he hadn't even seen Sora's art before this.
"Oh My God!" Riku said, quietly, still shocked. "How the hell do you do that?!"
"Well." Sora shrugged, embarrassed at all the praise he was getting. "When one has spare time and a wandering mind, he needs to find something to do."
"And drawing is your something to do?" Roxas looked from the picture to the boy standing next to him, still embarrassed, and blushing now.
"Yeah." Sora said, shy.
"Well, way to go you!" Roxas cheered, hugging the smaller boy again.
"Thanks." Sora was blushing again, the sight tempting Riku and Axel to 'awwwwww' from all of the cuteness.
"I'm only telling you what I know you deserve." Roxas smiled, sighing as he pulled the smaller into another hug. Sora melted into Roxas's hug this time, the two of them seeming to fit together.
Then the bell had to ruin it. It rang loud and shrill, telling the grumbling students to get to class.
Axel said goodbye to the others, kissing his love quickly before dashing off, not wanting to be too late for his class. Riku laughed, and waved to the other two before pealing out of the yard as fast as he could to get to his class as well.
"What class do you have now Sora?" Roxas asked, curious, hoping that they had the same class. And, as luck would have it, when Sora pulled out his schedule, MUSIC was written,(A/N: and yes it was written just like that! All big and stuff.) Roxas mentally cheering for joy at the sight. "Well, looks like we have music together."
"Good." Sora smiled a little. "We should get going then, ne?"
"Yeah, seeing as how the class is on the other side of the school." Roxas agreed.
"Well, you know where you're going, so lead on!" Sora pointed to the doors, Roxas laughing with him.
"Alright!" Roxas was still laughing. "Let's go!" Roxas grabbed the brunet's hand, and started to pull him along agin. To his surprise though, Sora kept up with him, and even looked like he was enjoying himself. So he wasn't dragging the brunet now, so much as ...holding hands...
They reached the music room, neither out of breath, and chose a seat to sit in, right beside each other.
"So, Sora." the brunet turned his head at the sound of his name. "Do you play an instrument already?" Roxas was curious.
"Yeah." Sora nodded. "I can play the piano, and the guitar."
"Base or acoustic?" Roxas asked.
"Both, as well as classical." Sora said, Roxas's eyebrows raising at this.
"Well, guess who's educated?" he was impressed.
"Spare time." Sora shrugged again.
"Oh, I see." Roxas nodded. "Were you ever in a band?"
"Yeah." Sora smiled wistfully. "I was the lead in a band called Caught in the Crossfire. It was so awesome."
"I've heard of you guys!" Roxas exclaimed excitedly. "Axel has too, I'm sure of it, as he was the one who introduced me to your music. Well, that and Neuroticfish."
"Neat." Sora smiled. "So, do you play any instruments?"
"Yeah, I play the guitar, acoustic, and base that is, and the drums." Roxas nodded.
"Nice." Sora said, but the boys quieted down, seeing as how the teacher had entered the room.
