Chapter 2

Kairi

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.

"Two days into school and we've already got couples? Wow..."

Sora lets out a sigh, staring forward at the two boys sitting on the floor together. Axel had a not-so-subtle arm around Roxas, both of them were laying back on the floor, their legs were up against the base of the couch, and Roxas, evidentially, wasn't wearing a shirt. The couch was toppled over, Sora took note of, and the atmosphere of the air was so heavy with awkward you could probably cut it with a knife.

"Roxas, I told you we shouldn't be doing this now." Axel teased, jabbing his index finger into the side of Roxas's face. Sora blinks. "Poor horny sucker. Pushed me right over, Sora. You had to see it."

"WHAT?" The blond blushed a little swatted him away, blushing profusely. "Cut it out! I-It's not like that!"

"No need for denial, we all know you love me~!" The red head teases more, still poking him and ruffling his hair like a little kid. Sora just stood there, the blankest expression on his face as he watched Roxas struggle to push Axel off him.

"So... obviously you two are busy with something." he replies, slowly and subtly backing out of the room. "I uh... think I'll just go, then."'

"Where to?"

"Korea, Switzerland, Idaho – anywhere but here!" he retreats running full speed out of the room and down the hall.

"Well, you certainly left a memorable impression on my roommate..." the blonde laughs, giving his best friend a playful swat. The red-head returns it with a toothy smile and shuffles toward the turned-over couch. "Could you, oh I dunno... NOT make him think I'm gay?"

"Nah," Axel grins, pushing the couch back up and leaning on the arm. "That's no fun."

Roxas just scoffs, punches his arm as hard as he can, and sits back down. He sips at his Coke that he'd left on the coffee table and lets out a sigh.

"Axel, if he moves out I swear I will kill you..."

She probably thinks I'm a total creep...

He didn't know where he was going, but quite frankly he really didn't care. He just let his legs bring him to an unknown destination, watched with fascination at the changing scenery as he walked down the hall. As he walked, he could hear some kids in their dorms talking, some banging and yelling, some laughing and giggling, and sometimes he heard a whole ton of uh... "other noises" he really didn't want to mention. For example, when he passed room 107 he heard creaking and moaning (which really freaked him out, considering, well, this IS the boy's dorm... no girls allowed), when he passed room 103 he heard shouting, and when he finally passed room 101 he heard a refreshing echo of laughter. Even on the first week of school people had already decided friends and enemies, though Sora really couldn't keep up with it.

Through the dorm halls he loped around, staggering forward ever-so slowly; Sora wasn't particularly in a hurry to get to wherever his legs were guiding him. He sat in his own pathetic thoughts, Kairi on his mind, and felt his cheeks warm.

Knock it off, Sora. You hardly even know her anyways.

"It's true..." he murmurs to no one in particular. "She's gorgeous but she's probably a bitch on the inside, just like the other girls... Half the time they always are..."

Exactly. Besides, she's got a brother. Not just that but he also knows what dorm you live in. You better watch it, Sora.

Mind: one.

Sora: none.

He swings a left out to the corridor, keeps walking until he feels a gust of fresh outside-air brush against him, still clueless as to where he was going. He was walking through the quad for some reason [God only knows what reason that is] with a goofy smile on his face. Not that he wasn't enjoying the walk though; clueless or not, he enjoyed getting out.

While I'm thinking about it, what were Axel and Roxas even doing? He thought of the many different possibilities. Sex, maybe wresting, more sex... The brunette boy shudders at the thought; if Roxas were gay it'd be dangerous living with him. He'd constantly have to watch his ass, in a LITERAL sense as well as metaphorical, and he was sure he'd be seeing a lot more of Axel in his room...

It wasn't that Sora was prejudice to gays, because he was bisexual himself (he's not looking for a guy at the time, though) but... he didn't know, really. Something about being around gay boys made him uncomfortable, like he couldn't turn around for a minute without getting stared at. He's always been told he's handsome, and, whether he believes he is or not, people stare at him funny. Like WEIRD funny. Both boys AND girls look at him like that. It's sickening.

But whatever. Even if Roxas were gay, he'd have Axel, right?

Wait... when'd I start thinking about this?

"So you remember that boy we met the other day?"

The blonde looks up from her sketchbook. Kairi was pacing around the room again, stopping every so often at the window to look out. "Which one?"

"The cute brunette. Sora, I think it was." she giggles, twirls a lock of crimson hair and looks out at the boy wandering around the quad. He'd been pacing around the fountain for hours with that far-off look in his eyes. Clearly something was bothering him. Kairi was almost tempted to walk down there herself and talk to him about it. But she wouldn't exactly know what to ask him, so she didn't bother. "I think he likes me."

"Oh, really?" Naminè's eyes avert back to her rough doodle. In the corner of her eye she could still see the red-headed girl looking out and giggling. "What makes you think that?"

She noticed the brunette boy looking back up at her from below. He had an I-saw-you-by-accident kind of expression, so Kairi flashed him a quick and gentle smile, giggling to herself when she saw his face illuminate a deep shade of red. "He's always so nervous around me. It's kind of cute."

"Well do you like him back?"

Her cheeks warmed a little too. "I hardly even know the kid, Nami!"

"So talk to him. Get to know him or something."

"Hm..." she taps her lips with her index finger a couple times, and then looks back out the window at the clueless brunette. He was talking to some tall, silver-haired guy, laughing and blushing like crazy. The other kid was kind of cute himself, Kairi took notice of, and decided to herself that Naminè was right; she should go and talk to him. "Fine. I'll play it your way. Be back later." And with that, she was off.

Naminè didn't even look up from her sketchbook as she left.

Two weeks.

That's how long it takes to make a new best friend. Sora and Kairi had been hanging out a lot lately, got to know each other fairly quick. It was like kindergarten; you talk to someone for 5 minute and it's like you've known them for decades on end. Really, the two of them were THAT close. Amazing, right?

Kairi was sweet and beautiful in Sora's eyes, kind and gentle yet strong and independent. The girl practically had him wrapped around her pretty little finger. To Kairi, Sora was the sweetest guy she'd ever met. He was a very sensitive kind of guy, very shy in nature. Sora tended to get flustered around Kairi, especially when she talked about petty girl problems; even the very mention of a bra lit his cheeks on fire like a match. It was hopelessly adorable.

Kairi purposely flirted with him; she hated to admit it, but she got this sick kick out of making Sora flustered. Really though, if you've seen the kid blush you'd get why.

"So Sora..." she started, tossing the brunette boy a sea salt ice cream. "Do you like anyone~?"

He was surprised at the random question. "U-Uh yeah, why?"

She giggles, sits down on the floor next to him and leans her face close to his. Almost instantly he blushes. "Tell me who~?"

"What? N-No!"

"Aw come on..." she pushes her lower lip out a little cutely. "Pweeeaassseeee?"

"I told you, No!" he tries his hardest to move his head farther away from Kairi's, but she comes even closer, practically brushing their lips together making him squeak with shock. Her eyes fluttered open and closed, moving from looking into his eyes to looking at his shaking lips. It was so cute how he was blushing, and she held back the urge to kiss him quick.

He could feel her breath on his lips; does he kiss her or...?

"Hmmm~?" Kairi's voice was teasing as she leaned in even more. They were practically kissing, lips against each other's but never moving. "Do you want me to tell you who I like?"

He didn't want to speak; their lips kept accidentally hitting each other as she spoke. He wanted to kiss her.

Sora nods his head.

"Okay." Kairi backs off, shoots him a smile and blushes a little as she confesses. "I like Roxas."
