Sorry for the lack of updating. I took a road trip, 80 mile road trip, to visit the boyfriend at band camp. It took up most of yesterday and part of today...

Woot filler chapter!!! Hah. Anyways, nothing too major happens in this one. Sorry.. But next chapter will contain much drama. It's already half written. I delayed sending my laptop to Texas until tomorrow. I have to get the next chapter out, it's going to be a good one. Might even contain a lemon.. or two.

Enjoy this one, for now.

Disclaimer: Sora, Riku, Roxas, Axel, Kairi not mine. I do have an amazing boyfriend that better let me use his comp whilst my laptop is in hell.

Loveless Lies

Chapter 7: It Ends Tonight

"Well, it's 9:00. They have successfully made a 20 minute drive last for an hour," Roxas said as he buzzed for the teens to enter the building.

"That's good, right? I mean, maybe they were... you know," Axel raised an eyebrow smirked at his lover.

"Oh, God. Let's hope not," Roxas shuddered. "He's still with Kairi."

Axel move his hands along Roxas' waist as he spoke in the blonde's ear, ""Well, if I'm not gettin' any, someone should be. " The warm breath sent chills down the blonde's thin body.

"Jesus, Axel. Keep it in your pants, " Roxas turned around and stuck out his tongue.

"Humph," Axel flopped himself down on the couch. "Do you really think he'll break up with Kairi for a guy?"

"Who knows. I hope, for Riku's sake, he does, but then again, I don't want Kairi to be hurt. He should have broke up with her in October, when she cheated on him the first time. Still, part of me wonders if she really does love Sora."

Axel stroked his red hair, "She deserves what she has coming."

"I suppose," Roxas ended the conversation when he heard a soft knocking on the door. He made his way over and opened the door to a picture he wasn't expecting, well at least not yet.

Sora held his fist up, as if he was still knocking on his friend's door while Riku had his arm placed around the smaller teen's waist. Sora's face seemed worried, but Riku looked, well, he looked happy.

Roxas couldn't contain himself any longer. He dashed from his spot in the doorway to fling his arms around the happy (almost) couple, "About damn time."

He was truly happy to see both of his best friends together at last. He had for too long listened to stories of Riku longing for Sora's affection, while also hearing stories of Sora losing interest in Kairi. And with what had happened after prom... Now, finally, they seemed to have found each other.

"Told ya," Riku smiled at the brunette as he pried himself from Roxas' grasp. All three of them made there way into the apartment. Sora and Riku hand-in-hand.

Axel, being Axel, assessed the current situation of Sora's hand being in Riku's then made his way over to the silver haired teen, "Nice." Axel held up his had for a high five.

"Axel!" Roxas screeched as he playfully shoved his boyfriend into the wall.

"What? Can't I congratulate a friend?" Axel's mouth turned upwards into a smirk.

"So, you're not upset that.. I'm.." Sora began. Worry danced all of the brunette's face. Just please don't hate me...

"A flaming homo?" Sora blushed. "Hell no, look at me. I'm as flaming as they come." Axel moved towards his own love interest. He then took the smaller boy in his arms and his lips into his own.

"Axel!" Roxas pushed away. "We have company!"

"It's not like they haven't seen it before, " Axel attempted to reclaim his boyfriend.

The blonde resisted as the red head made his way back to the couch and changed the subject. "So are you guys an item?" Roxas inquired.

"A what?" a naive Sora began only to be interrupted by Riku.

"Kinda. I mean, not official yet. Just waiting on a few logistics," Riku nudged Sora with his elbow as he mouthed 'Kairi' towards Roxas.

"Ohh, right," Roxas said while rolling his eyes.

Something finally clicked in Sora's head. "Don't tell her! I want to. I have so much to tell her. I don't want her to hate you guys, too!" Sora blurted out while waving his hands in a frantic rage.

Axel got off the couch and ruffled the brunette's spiked hair. "Silly boy, of course we won't. Why would we bestow hell fire and damnation upon ourselves when we have you here to take the heat."

Sora sighed, and Riku saw the open couch and took it as an opportunity. He grabbed Sora's hand and tackled the boy onto the couch.

Axel realized just why Riku wanted the couch. He turned to Roxas and smiled deviously, "Looks like Roxas and I get to cuddle on the love seat." Roxas blushed. Oh how Axel loved to make his boyfriend nervous.

"I'm...gonna go cook some brunch..." Roxas mumbled and took off towards the kitchen.

"Fine, leave me alone with these two love birds. Since you two are obviously not going to watch the movie, I'm picking it out. 'Shaun of the Dead' for the win," Axel glared at the two who were currently wrapped in each other's arms. Sora blushing, of course.

"Sooorrraa!!!" Kairi screeched as she ran over to her whining boyfriend. She threw her arms around the teen's neck, "I miiissed you!!"

"I missed you, too, Kairi," he kissed the girl lightly on the lips. It's only been seven hours since we saw each other... He glanced over to Riku who had never taken his eyes off of the brunette. Well, ain't this all sorts of awkward. "Let's get inside. We're going to be late for practice," Sora said as he beckoned the girl towards the double doors.

Axel took his eyes off of the awkward moment that had just passed and glanced over to Roxas, "How long until Sora breaks and tells the girl?"

Roxas shrugged, "Riku said Sora would tell her by graduation tomorrow."

"Riiight, and I'm straight," Axel laughed. He kissed his boyfriend long and hard. "I should be going. If I see one more person that I never thought I would see again, I'll kill myself."

"Such a romantic," Roxas said as he waved goodbye to the redhead. Sora will tell her, right?

"Well there goes three hours of my life that I can never get back, " Kairi said as she wrapped her arms around Sora's waist. "Let's go to my house! My parents are out until 10 with my relatives who came down for graduation."

"Uhh, sure, Kairi," he reclaimed his waist from the girl as his eyes found Riku standing a few yards behind him. "Here, take my keys and start the air. I'll be back in a sec."

"Okay!" She grabbed the keys and kissed his cheek. "Don't keep me waiting," Kairi squealed as she ran off towards the car.

Sora shook his head and made his way towards Riku. "Hey."

"Have you told her yet?" Riku asked, avoiding eye contact with the brunette. He knew all it would take was one look into those eyes, and he would have to kiss the boy.

"No, I mean, not yet. We're going back to her house. No one will be around to ask questions, so it will make things easier," Sora said quietly. I have to tell her. I can't go on lying to her. Not when I have him now. I can tell her this time, Sora assured himself.

"Good," was Riku's short, to the point, response.

"Riku?"

"Yes, Sora?"

"You know I love you, right?" Sora whispered, eyes darting around to make sure no one else heard their private conversation.

"You know I would do anything to take you in my arms right now and show you how much I love you," Riku said softly. He meant every word of it.

Sora's whole being lit up. A ditsy grin made its way to the teen's face. This is going to be easier than I thought. "I'll call you when I leave Kairi's. Maybe we can get dinner or something?"

Riku shook his head. "Not tonight. Take your time. This isn't going to be an easy night for her, or you for that matter."

"But.. I can still call you, right?" Sora pouted.

"But of course," Riku gave the smaller teen a quick hug. "I'll be looking forward to it."

Sora nodded and trotted off to meet Kairi in his car.

He better tell her. Riku watched the love of his life drive away in a car to a girl's house. A girl's house that had no parental supervision. I wonder if he would...No...He loves me.

Update tomorrow, or late tonight... which will technically be tomorrow.

Any ideas as to what's next :P
