Chapter 4! :D -crickets chirp- …Weak. -.-;

Kingdom Hearts doesn't belong to me. No matter how much I try to make Sora mine…-is shot-

--

Sora opened his eyes slowly. He looked to his right and angrily stared at the hazy twilight sky.

What?

"What!? It's already the end of the day!?" he shot out of his new bed, which he hadn't put sheets on yet, and stumbled to a stop at his messenger bag that was near the door. He fumbled through it and found his wristwatch. The time read eight a.m. in digital black numbers.

Oh hell no.

The brunette sat on his knees in front of his bag, staring at the door, letting his embarrassment work its way through him. Not thirty seconds later, he slowly pushed himself up onto his feet.

"I'm such a freaking idiot!" Sora harshly chucked his watch across the room. He winced when he heard it crack against a wall. I hope I don't have to get a new one.

Sora blinked as the door to his room began to open. A sleepy Riku greeted his face. The silver haired teen had his eyes half closed as he took a step forward. Right into Sora's personal space.

"Uh…Riku?" the blue eyed boy asked rather confused. Riku sleepwalked? Well you learn new things every day.

The taller of the two opened his eyes and surveyed his and Sora's three inch distance from each other. His eyes grew a fraction of an inch wider, and he immediately took a large step back. He cleared his throat with a fist covering his mouth, "Good morning, Sora," he said, wide awake now.

"Yeah. Morning," he balanced on his toes, looking over Riku's shoulder into the hallway, "And now I have to use the bathroom," he said in a smartass tone, his eyebrows rose at the taller teen.

Riku blinked for a second before responding, "Oh, yeah. Go ahead," he stepped out of the doorway and motioned his right arm into the hallway, "Right this way, Your Majesty," he bowed his head and looked up through his eyelashes as he smirked.

"Har har. You are so funny," he said, being extremely sarcastic. He walked through the door pushing Riku's still bowed head backwards and heard him fall to the floor as he pushed the bathroom door open. Riku had a very colorful word bank.

--

After Sora and Riku finished their breakfast, in silence mind you, said brunette announced that he was going to look around the town. It was the beginning of summer vacation after all.

Riku's mother proposed that Riku could take him to all the places he would want to see, but Sora declined. He had said he wanted to map the area out himself, but thanked her anyway. Like he really wanted to spend the day with that bastard.

--

Sora was walking through an area called the Back Alley when he spotted a fence door and heard a voice coming from it. He decided, what the hell, and walked in. It seemed to be a clubhouse of sorts.

He was met with the backside of another boy. He looked like he was trying to find something. So, Sora being the curious person he was, spoke up.

"Hey, whatcha' doing?" he smiled and linked his hands behind his back.

The other boy stopped what he was doing and turned around. He had a somewhat angry expression on his face mixed with surprise, "Who are you?" he asked.

Sora took his features in. This boy was about the same height as him, but maybe an inch, half inch taller than him. He had sandy blonde hair and the bluest eyes he had ever seen. He also wore a white checkered jacket with a very interesting pair of pants. He had a checkered wristband and two rings; one black and one white on his left hand. He kinda looks a bit like me. Ha ha, that's funny.

"Um, hello?" the blonde asked again.

"Huh? Oh! Hi, I'm Sora! I just moved here," he said, his smile widened a little more out of embarrassment.

The other boy smiled, "And I'm Roxas. Nice to meet you," he stuck out his hand and waited for Sora to shake it.

Said boy did, and began to speak again, "So, you live around here?"

Their hands parted, "Yeah. Just a few minutes away from here. Where do you live?" Roxas asked as he surveyed the brunette.

"Not that far from here, too. I live with Riku. You know him?"

"Yeah, he's one of my friends. We hang out all the time, along with Axel and Naminé," he went to sit down on the couch in the corner.

Sora joined him, "Who are they?" he asked sitting criss-cross-applesauce, facing Roxas.

Roxas looked up from his hands, "Axel and Namine? Oh live in the neighborhood. Axel's seventeen, Naminé is sixteen, and I'm fifteen," as he said his age, he pointed to his chest.

"Oh cool! We're the same age!" he let out a rather girlish squee, something he tried desperately to stop, and smiled.

"Really? Awesome," Roxas sat for a second and pondered, "Hey, why do you live with Riku? Where are your parents?"

Sora slowed his movements and uncrossed his legs, putting them on the floor, "Well I'm kind of an orphan…" his eyes dropped down to his lap as he played with his fingers.

Roxas' throat tightened, "Sora, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up," he put a hand on the brunette shoulder.

"No, it's fine. Like you would've guessed that. I need to move on in life anyway. My mom would've wanted it," he turned his head to Roxas and splayed a wide grin on his face. A single tear clung to his top eyelashes.

"I know it's weird, since we just met and all, but you look like you need a hug. You mind?" Roxas asked with a hint of mirth.

Sora lightly blushed, "Sure. I love free hugs," he laughed.

Roxas chuckled with him and moved in to encircle the brunette with his arms.

"Feel better?" he asked when they separated.

"Yup. Much," Sora took a glance at the watch on Roxas' other wrist and surveyed the time. It was three in the afternoon.

The blonde caught him looking at his watch, "What's wrong? You have to be home or something?" he asked, concerned.

"Uh, yeah. I promised my friend Kairi from my old town I'd write her within my first few days here."

"Oh, I see. Your girlfriend?"

Sora's blush came back with a vengeance, "No! Why does everyone I talk about her to think she's my girlfriend?" he pouted and crossed his arms over his chest.

"You're too cute, Sora," said boy let out an annoyed grunt, "I just guess when you talk about a girl like that, a person automatically thinks she's your girlfriend."

Sora lowered his arms, "Yeah, I guess you're right," he let out a sigh, "Do people do that to you when you talk about your friends that are girls?" he inquired.

This time Roxas blushed, "Well, no. People who know me usually don't make that assumption…"

Sora was a little confused, "So you have a girlfriend?"

"…Not per se…" he tried to not look at Sora.

"Wha-" then it hit him, "…You're gay?"

"And I have a boyfriend. It's the guy Axel I told you about," he added, not sure of what Sora was going to think of him afterwards.

"Oh well that's cool. Good for you," the brunette blasted a large smile to Roxas, "Now I really have to meet this Axel guy."

Roxas shook his head, "You're a real piece of work, my friend."

"Inorite?"

--

Sora was jogging back to Riku's house after he left Roxas. I should really start calling it my house since I'll be living here till I can live on my own.

When he got into his room, he was all ready to get paper and pencil out for his letter to Kairi, but that was before he saw a laptop sitting on his bed.

"Oh my…shit," he dropped his pencil on his dresser and went over to pick up the piece of technology.

"Like it?" a voice said from the doorway.

"Like it? I love it!" he spun around and went directly over to his new desk and commenced with the hunt for an outlet for the power cord. He had placed the laptop on the desk and plugged it in when Riku walked over and sat on his bed, which was next to said desk.

"In a hurry to use it, eh?" Riku lay down on the bed and propped his head up with his arm.

"Heck yeah! Who bought it? Your dad? I'll have to thank him," the smaller boy said as he went away at typing and setting up his desktop, making various folders.

"He didn't. I did."

Sora stopped, "What? You bought me a brand new laptop? Why?" he swiveled in his chair to face Riku, disbelief on his face.

Riku shrugged, "I dunno. I thought it was a good welcoming present," he closed his eyes and gave a barely visible smile.

"Riku…"

The silver haired teen stiffened at his name, but kept his eyes closed. That was until he heard the sound of a chair squeaking signifying Sora had gotten up. He opened his eyes too late. Sora was on top of him giving him the tightest hug he had ever experienced.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Riku!" he tightened his grip, if it was even possible, around the other boy's neck.

Riku coughed, breathing becoming a bit hard, "You're welcome."

Sora still wasn't done, "I'll never be able to repay you. You're just too awesome!" Sora was so caught up in his happiness, he kissed Riku. Not on the lips, but very close.

Riku opened his eyes that he had closed from his struggle to breath.

Sora had pulled his arms from around Riku's neck, but he still was seated above him.

The taller teen moved up to a sitting position, staring at Sora the whole time, "Sora…?"

Said boy gulped, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I was just so happy, I didn't think about what I was doing," he apologized as he climbed off of Riku and his bed.

"It's…okay, Sora. I get it," Riku assured him, "I'll…see you in the morning," Riku also got up off of the bed and walked over to the door.

Sora watched the door close, and then collapsed to the floor. What the hell is wrong with me!? Why did I do that? I'm not gay, dammit! It was just a lapse in judgment…

He shook his head to rid himself of those thoughts and slowly made his way to the computer again.

--

After about four hours of setting up his laptop, he finally got to write his letter to Kairi. He got up and yet again went to his messenger bag for Kairi's email address. She had written it down for him the night prior to his leaving.

He typed it up and sent it. Man, was he tired now. He just wanted to sleep. He pulled the laptop closed and went straight to his bed. He didn't even bother to change into pajamas.

--

Kairi,

Sora here. I told you I'd write you. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't? D':
Things have been going good here for the most part. The boy I live with here, Riku, he's a meanie pants. I'm for cereal. XD But really. He was being an ass yesterday.
Oh! Today I made a friend! His name is Roxas! :D OMFG I found out he was gay. But he's still cool lol. And this Axel person is his boyfriend. I have to meet him now. X3
And one other thing. You know how I said Riku's an ass? Well he kinda bought me a laptop! So I guess he isn't so bad. And it's what I'm using while I'm writing this! So cool! C:

…And I gave Riku a hug for it…and uh, I kinda kissed him…But not on the mouth! …But it was really close to it…Ugh. Kairi I'm so confused. Write back soon. I need your womanly insight. It's always right. QAQ

XD Sorry for the delay. I always hate it when people don't update things I like. So HERE IT IS! :D It's kinda….really long. XD;

And as for Sora's letter, I always thought he'd be the type to joke and use internetz faces when he writes to one of his friends. XD lol Sorry if you can't follow it well or something, I just wanted to use it as a better symbol to Sora's personality in this story. :3
