SHE'S SUPER GEEKY! SHE, SHE'S SUPER GEEKY! xD
Lol I got new glasses and I look so different when I wear them... Dx
I'm more used to wearing contacts, but sadly, I'm running low on stock right now, so I'm now stuck with wearing this offensive piece of eyewear on my face! :/
But, if I look at the mirror slightly and tilt my head a little to the side, I could be the kind of nerdy, goody two shoes girl you see on an dirty film- NOT THAT I WATCH ANY! I-I'm too innocent to watch that filthy stuff. Honestly being serious. Never watched that stuff before... o/./o
I'm sorry I took so long ;-; It's just at one point, my writer's block was so severe that I had to stop... But then, something new was born into FFN! :D
It's another SoKai called Secret Tree House! My summary for it is sorta crappy, but trust me, it's not that bad for a story. I actually planned this story, unlike this one, so I'm actually interested in finishing it, so... check it out please? And see what you think? Five chapters dying to be read here! xD
But whatever! I couldn't leave My OW fans in the dust, so... Here ya go! :D
Also warning you about the language and Sora's impurities... xD
Ocean Waves: Chapter 7
It's Always Been About Axel's Irony...
Sora:
Sitting on the couch, I felt completely sober now. My face was buried within my hands. I was slouched into my signature, "Oh-shit-what-the-fuck-do-I-do-now?" position.
I wasn't on my high anymore, which made my senses and logic beat the shit out of me to no end. I fucking hated it. I realized what kind of situation I put myself in with Kairi. I mean, I almost fucked her for crying out loud! And now, Axel thinks I'm into S&M. Perfect.
But on to more important matters...
What now? What do I do? What exactly am I going to say to my mother when she finds out I pulled a grand theft gumdrop and ran away to a paradise island to hook up with the hot chick she disapproved of so much while under the influence?
Holy shit, I'm definitely screwed...
Most importantly, what about Kairi? What do I do about her? I reunited with my first, long-lost, childhood friend, in the most, not-so-appropriate circumstance, after ten years.
What do I say?
What do I tell her?
...
What should I do to her? Heheh— N-NO! BAD SORA! BAD!
"Uh... Sora?" I looked up, my eyes focused on the entrance to the hall. Kairi was poking her head out from the wall, hiding the rest of her body shyly. How adorable.
"Yeah, Kai?" I leaned back onto the couch with my hands behind my head. "You need something?"
"Huh—? Oh, no. I just wanted to, uh, talk..."
It stayed silent for a while before I had the nerve to speak up again.
"If you wanna talk, then why don't you sit?" I challenged her, patting the spot next to me. More dreadful silence engulfed the room as her face turned red. Her eyes shifted back and forth from me to whatever it was down the hall.
"Um... No, I think I'm fine where I am," she decided nervously.
"Why?" I asked curiously. "You're monthly bill came in, or something?" I laughed when I saw the look on her face. If she were any closer, I would've probably said bye-bye to my friend...
"You know I'm only kidding, Kairi," I told her in haste, reassuring her with my biggest, cheesiest grin.
"Right..." She finally stepped out from her hiding spot, cautiously walking toward me. I could see why she was so nervous...
She wore her tank top like it was a second layer of skin and her shorts were doing her total justice, too dangerously short for her own good. Her body was perfect.
Okay, Sora my man, you are facing the moment of truth. If you can resist temptation and not get a hard-on, you have outstanding self control and Kairi's respect... Either that, or I must be rooting for the same team...
She sat down next to me, getting comfortable, leaning on me as she sighed.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
FUCK!
"Wh-What are you doing here in the first place? I mean, don't you have school?" I attempted to start the conversation that I intended to initiate in the first place ever since I found out about her, y'know, to keep my mind from going down further south than need be.
"Xion insisted that I fulfill my resolution and to stop at nothing to achieve it, so my education had to be put off for a while..."
I was confused, quirking a brow involuntarily.
"Resolution? Honestly, Kai, your education should be more important than whatever this resolution may be. Wouldn't your mother worry over where you are? What about Riku? Wouldn't they be upset?"
She looked appalled that I even mentioned them, let alone remembered them, the violet color in her eyes becoming more apparent as they widened. Then, she let her gaze settle onto her lap as her fingers entangled themselves, possibly out of habit. I saw a smile tug at the corner of her lips as she continued to avoid my concerned stare, trembling slightly. Her internal conflict was unsettling for me; I sensed a stabbing hurt in my own innocent words the moment she began to process and react to them.
"O-Of course she—they—would worry," Kairi finally answered. "Why wouldn't they? Th-They're m-my family, after all..."
"Have you talked to either of them in the past few days since you left with Xion?"
"Yes, I have actually," she trailed of wistfully, voice filled with nostalgia. She had this distant look in her eye, it was oh so mesmerizing, like a patient wife waiting for the love of her life to return from a long journey. I'm not sure how, but this look fitted her nicely. She was also too quiet and reserved for my liking. What exactly was she hiding from the prying curiosity that manifested inside of me? Was the topic too touchy? I don't think I'll find out anytime soon.
Ready to bombard her with a set of new questions, the door slammed shut as quickly as it had opened. Kairi and I turned around, peeking from the couch to meet a dazed, sighing Roxas, who had his back against the door, sliding to the floor slowly. His eyes were closed in his own euphoria of sorts, enticing my curiosity to know the cause of Mr. "Stick Up His Ass" McGee's sudden elated mood.
"Roxas, my boy, why so peachy this evening?"
Said blonde's eyes fluttered open with a jolt, glaring from the sound of my voice. "Go away. I may seem abnormally elated, but that doesn't mean you can be able to annoy me, you second-rate, incompetent fool."
I rolled my eyes. "That is no way to treat your boss... Or the childhood friend of this fine, young lady here, sir Roxas. Right, Kairi?" The permanently brooding boy perked up at the familiar name, making it impossible for me to hide the shit-eating grin that consumed my face.
"Wait, you didn't—"
"Oh, yes he did~!" Kairi sang, receiving all of Roxas's attention, causing him to take in the sight of her. His stunned cobalt eyes were glued to her anxious violets, trying to process my words.
I cracked another lip-splitting grin when his blood ran cold from realization.
"Oh, my God..." He stuttered. "Y-You can't be—" Within seconds, he was scrambling to the other side of the couch, standing in front the girl in question. She had also stood so it wouldn't seem as awkward, avoiding his gaze as he continued to check her out. He played with her hair and continued to gawk at her, like he had never seen a nicely developed, young woman in all of his life.
Damn, Roxas, I know she's freaking hot. You don't have to remind her!
Kairi's face was considerably flushed from the strange attention she was receiving from my partner in crime and mischief.
"I, um... You're making me uncomfortable..."
"I'm sorry, it's just my friend... She looks a lot like you," he said sitting on the couch, separating Kairi from me, which I did not akin to as much as you would think. "So what's a girl like you doing here, fooling around with a fool like him, no less?"
I cried out indignantly before striking him upside the head. I noticed the small smirk he presented before resuming with his conversation with my girl.
A bro couldn't be anymore of a cockblocker if he wanted to...
"He's no fool, I assure you," she defended. "He is my friend. It's just our reunion was a bit... Well, it's different than how I expected it would turn out to be."
"Yeah, I've seen part of it." That godforsaken smirk was still slapped on his face. I thanked the gods when I saw bright red hair appear.
"Ey, Roxy! Back so soon?" Axel leaned against the wall where Kairi once hid behind, grinning.
Xion also entered the scene and pounced on Kairi. The two identical girls were a pile of entangled limbs as they grappled each other on the already crowded couch. I looked on amused by how boyish and immature they acted, spitting out curses and giggles.
"X-Xion~!" Kairi whined. "Your bony ass is digging into my legs~!"
"Please, you wish you were as thin as I am!"
I chuckled when Kairi blushed angrily, finally shoving the girl to the floor beneath us. She kept silent as the other complained from being discarded from the couch frenzy going on at the moment as the raven haired girl moaned out from the stinging hurt of abandonment.
"I feel so unloved!"
Axel gave the upset girl a questioning stare before shaking his head and rushing to the raven in a matter of seconds, picking her up from the floor, holding her close.
"Aw! You know I love you!" She pouted from his attempt to woo her, crossing her arms and facing the other way to avoid the redhead's advances.
"You're not enough!" she cried out.
Ouch.
Shaking off the damage that was presented to his ego, Axel flitted onto much more specific matters with my blonde counterpart.
"So uh Roxas, I was sure you were going to give into temptation and have a sip with us, but I guess you were too busy with your lady friend?"
"Wh-What—?"
"Let's just say I saw you getting all comfortable with the stunning dame in the lobby as I headed to the suite with a dame of my own, mind you," he interjected, flicking his tongue out with a wink as he held Xion more tightly, making said girl giggle.
"Th-That's unlikely! For all you know, it could have been—!"
"You're logic is invalid, sir, because one, he's not in this hotel. I checked the guest roster just in case, so I wouldn't end up kidnapping him, which usually never happens here. And two, I only know one certain boy who's into the baby blonde dolls. Plus, your stuttering and red face only further justifies my reasons!"
I felt satisfied from Axel's deduction as the only blonde in the room groaned in embarrassment, cheeks blazing a darker shade than Kairi's hair (and that says a lot considering how much of a player he is). The poor, unfortunate soul this love interest of Roxas's must be...
"AXEL!"
"Yes, my love?" Axel snickered as the aggravated boy threw a couch pillow at him.
"I fucking hate you!"
"If the word 'fucking' is involved, I'm down for anything, baby... And down for you~!"
"AXEL!" This time it was Xion who yelled.
"What? I'm just being myself here! If you don't like it, hun, then there's the door." Ugh... Why did I even bother bringing Axel? Oh, yeah, the Gummi ship. Right...
Kairi seemed the most silent of us all, being her pensive self again. Well, from what I remember of her, she was outgoing, bold. She was a very playful and talkative person. She had this shining aura about her that just attracted anyone's attention. What happened to that Kairi? What could have possibly gone so wrong that it changed her, molded her to the way she is now?
I brought myself back to the banter to find out that Roxas had the last straw that broke the camel's back, finally bouncing off of the couch and bee-lining for the door.
"Going out to have secret affairs with the lovely Barbie doll?" Axel shouted, a hand cupping his mouth so that his jeer reached Roxas's ears.
"You bet your ass I am!" The door slammed shut as soon as the blonde disappeared from sight, the sound being the only remnants of his anger and agitation. And I thought blondes were supposed to be the jolly airheads that they are... No, I just had to end up with a blonde companion with the "Intelligent Arrogance" stick up his ass. Maybe that's why he was always so disgruntled. He could never spread his wings and soar like the dumbass blonde he was born to be. It must be some sort of prophecy.
I took this miracle to plop myself right beside Kairi, asking her all the questions that I wanted answers for while Xion and Axel added their fair share. What I found really peculiar was that she danced around the topic of her mother and brother, avoiding it desperately...
Roxas:
I sped down the hall with newly found anxiety and relief as I had an excuse to leave the suite once more, even though they all knew where I would be heading. I had this tightening knot in my gut. I knew Axel got to me sometimes, and when he rambled about such nonsense it gave me this weird, foreboding feeling. This feeling made me think he only rambled such nonsense because he knew of the irony in it. It's as if he knew what would happen, and contradict it at a random point with a sly smirk and that glint in his emerald eyes. As if he was hiding from the world that he was playing God for the day, just waiting to see if the words he said would actually contradict themselves.
This is why I sometimes took Axel more seriously than anyone ever will. It wasn't because he was my best, oh hell no. I can get myself a best friend if I wanted to. It's because I knew about the little mind games he keeps underneath those slender sleeves. The flitting words that he knew how to manipulate on his own accord. It's what made him the master of the art of conmanship.
I steadied my hand on the metal banister as I descended the flight of stairs, not bothering with the impatient effects that the elevator would bring me. I reached the right floor, racing down the hall as I felt my heart protesting against my rib cage, begging for the sweet mercies of freedom as its rate inclined to a painful state. My throat became coarse from the quick breaths that scratched at it, sending my laboring breaths ragged as I stood in front of the slightly ajar door for only a second when a new fear was injected into my system.
The door was hanging off of its hinges slightly.
A forced entry...
I pushed through the door, the sight horrifying me to no end. The suite was disastrous mess. Furniture was turned over and fragile items were shattered from the assumed struggle, making the imaginary bile rise up. I attempted to swallow, but I only choked on a gasp as the end of the carpet was stained in specs of blood and the wooden floors were also littered with red droplets, as well. However, the victim's most evident struggle was the claw marks carved into the wood, making me assume that they had been dragged from the room before giving up entirely and accepting the dreadful fact of their abduction.
But what I found mostly odd was the bloody and severely injured witness in the kitchen, sitting on the tile as he leaned restlessly and painfully against the wall. His breathing was noisy and constant and blood was seeping in between the fingers of the hand he held to his side while his eyes were shut tight. Possibly in denial.
He won't be alone then because I, too, was in denial... And shock and anguish and fear and anger and pain and regret and definitely in denial.
His presence only proved the great fear that had consumed me before entering her suite.
"Naminé... My Naminé... She's gone," the man moaned aloud. I had no more doubts, the cloud of ambiguity had already left my senses now...
Namine... Had been abducted.
I heard the rush of footsteps behind me, but I was too late. I fell to the ground, writhing in the pain that pulsed in my head. I ran my hands through my hair noticing the usually soft feel turn sticky and heavy with thick liquid. My blood was everywhere in seconds. There were gruff voices from behind, debating on what they should do with me. If I was aware before hand, I could've took them on without a problem and kick their asses for what they'd done to Naminé.
I tried keeping my consciousness, but it became difficult as my eyelids were getting heavier. The man who I had found in the kitchen was staring into my half-lidded eyes in shock.
"V-Ventus?" he croaked loudly, which sparked a reaction from the men that were behind me.
"Oh? Now, this be Ventus? The VentusKarisawa? We can have a nice fine for him, too! What do you think, Pride? Five hundred grand for the boy, or do we set the ransom a little higher?"
My name isn't Ventus...
"Silence, Greed, we'll decide that later, once we return." Deadly sins as aliases? Yeah, so original...
"And the man?" Pride spat haughtily at Greed's questioning. The man obviously had no patience.
"He'll be dead soon enough. Come, let's be off." I felt my dead weight being lifted as I closed my eyes, letting myself slip away, hearing their voices in my head.
At least I'll be taken with Naminé. Maybe then, I'll be able to save her.
OOOOOH~! Now, wasn't that exciting? :D
...
o.0
Yeah yeah, I know I said I would update Secret Tree House first, but I had lost a huge chunk of my writing because my computer wanted to be a troll and close Google Chrome (where thine fanfiction tab had resided) before I even had a chance to save the document, SO I kinda got upset and abandoned it out of spite for a bit to finish this! :D
But I think this story needed more of an update than any of them, considering how LONG OVERDUE this was. So as of now, I apologize to my devote readers and generous reviewers for the short hiatus and I would like to thank you all for sticking by, even after all this time. You wouldn't believe how happy I was when I was still receiving reviews after MONTHS without an update.
It made me all warm and fuzzy :3
Oh, and I'll be revising the previous chapters, but they'll still follow through with how the story was originally going along. But there will be a few differences in the dialogue (which isn't really important considering the last statement) and a few insignificant additions sprinkled here and there throughout the chapters as well as the time skips the story will go through. :)
So au revoir my loves! I will be back... Hopefully soon! :o
