MA- Third Chapter!!! Weeee!!! I can't guarantee that the next chapters will be this quick, but I haven't had to work for the past couple days so I've had time to sit on my ass and type. :P
Raven- Yeah. Like work would stop you. You just don't want to admit that you're a lazy ass bum!
MA- Raaaveeen! That's not fair!
Raven- Whatever. Enjoy the story!
-------------------------------------------------------------liiiiiiiiinnnnneeeeee-------------------------------------------
I'd like to say at that point I was saved by the front door bursting open, my savior sweeping in and carrying me away to live happily ever after. I'd like to say that, but I don't; first of all that makes me sound much gayer then I actually am, second my "savior" (or "saviors" in this case) were only my little sisters, Kairi and Namine, and third they had brought their friends Rikku and Yuffie. My sisters might help me, but more then likely they'd be so enamored by the thoughts of planning my wedding, they'd let me suffer. Rikku and Yuffie… well… they are Destiny Island's rumor mill, except their rumors are usually deadly accurate. Yuffie was the one who managed to find out when I'd started dating my last boyfriend and posted flyers when I'd finally gotten laid by said boyfriend. Forget the fact that the ass was so afraid of jeopardizing his chances at a blitz ball scholarship with the taint of "fag" we only got together when no one was around and I wasn't allowed to tell anyone. He thought the flyers idea was mine and beat the shit out of me, thus effectively ending our relationship. He had to move off the islands after that, since my family is now and forever after his blood.
Anyways back to the terrible twosome. Yuffie, the one with the short dark hair and eyes, swears she was a ninja in another life and after seeing some of the stunts she's pulled, I believe her. Rikku, the blonde haired turquoise eyed one, has a way with electronics. I swear with one pixie stix she could build a super computer in point two seconds easy, not that she'd have any idea what she did. They both have boundless energy, which increases exponentially with sugar and caffeine and both have rather irritating kleptomaniac tendencies. Despite the fact they are not biologically related they are so similar it's scary. They also take an obscene amount of pleasure in embarrassing the hell out of anyone and everyone.
It is this knowledge upon seeing those two that had me tripling my efforts to escape my mother and run to the safety of my room.
"Whelp, mom, that barbeque is pretty soon; I'd better go find Sora and get ready. Love ya, bye!" With that I wrench myself from her choke hold and bolt for the stairs. Or at least hobble very quickly, since my ankle seems to want to sabotage all my effective escape plans.
"Roxas!" I hear a squeal behind me. Shit. For the third time that day I am brought crashing to the ground.
"Hey Yuffie." I groan, arms and knees on fire again, ankle deciding it might be easier just to cut itself off already. Yuffie was sitting on my back, hands on my shoulders, "Umm… could you get off me?... please…?"
"But Roxie! I just wanted to know sumthin!" She rocked back and forth on my back, causing several vertebras to pop. "Ooo… Roxie, you need to stretch better." I groan.
"What do you want Yuffie?" I bury my head in my arms submitting to the fact that fate hates me and likes to screw my life every which way.
"Weeeeeellll, rumor has it…." I wince. You never, and I mean NEVER, want to hear those words coming from this persons mouth. She giggles, noticing my reaction. "You got ran over by a sexy red head."
Honest, me pounding my head on the floor had nothing to with the mortifying thought that she's giving more fodder to my mother.
"Well, Yuffie, considering he looks like he got ran over, I don't think it's just a rumor." Not even my sweet innocent little sister Namine wanted to save me… and here she was on my list as favorite sister!
"How the hell did you even find out?!" I mumble into the floor. I thought it was too soft to hear, but apparently previous life ninja's have super hearing.
"I have my ways!" She stated proudly. I could even picture it; hands on hips, head held high, smug grin. GAH! I hate my life.
"Is that so! A red head? Yuffie dear, you must tell me everything!" Thanks mom. I knew I could count on you.
Thankfully this distraction got Yuffie off my back and rushing over to my mom squealing. I used this to my benefit of getting up and sneaking to the stairs. On the way, I noticed Leon had finally woken Cloud up and was trying to sneak away while his boyfriend was dazed. Apparently, he wasn't that dazed, as he reached out and grabbed Leon by the neck. Pulling him close, I could make out the harsh whisper.
"You leave me here to deal with this by myself and no sex for a week." Leon gulped. I chuckled as I finally managed to make the stairs and slip away without further mishap.
I really love my room. Me and Sora share the attic, it's one big room, the ceiling slopes at all sorts of crazy angles, due to the shape of the roof and the four windows- one on each wall, and it has a half bath ensuring that we'd never have to wait in line behind our siblings to go pee (four bathrooms in our house is no where near enough). The spiral staircase to reach our room is enclosed at one end of the hall on the second floor and is often mistaken for a closet, there's also a door into the room itself from the stairs. It has the best view over the houses around us and is virtually sound proof from the rest of the house. The only thing that would have made it better was if I got it to myself. Not that I don't love Sora, but there are times when it's better not ask.
Times like now. I opened the top door to see a figure bent over, ass up in the air, facing away from the door. After that shock, I noticed an extra pair of legs off to either side of the ass. Now I REALLY don't want to know.
"Sora! It doesn't stretch that far!" Wait a minute… I know that voice.
"C'mon Ku! If I can do it I know you can!... Or am I just better then you at this?" And that would be Sora's voice.
"No!" Came the indignant reply of his best friend, Riku, "You've just had more practice is all."
What the hell have I just walked into!? Is today just my day to walk into awkward moments or what?!
As if in response to my unasked question I hear an electronic voice.
"Player 2, right hand green." With a soft grunt Sora reached around, under Riku for a green spot on the mat that I hadn't noticed before. Riku was leaned over my twin, his legs between Sora's, one hand next to Sora's shoulder and the other curled around his waist, hand on a spot right under him. Riku's face was turned away from mine, so I couldn't see it, but I could imagine the blush on his fair features, probably half hidden by his choppy silver hair.
Sora's move had brought his face into my view and from his smirk, I could see he was enjoying this game and more specifically his position beneath Riku. It was no secret to me that Sora had a crush on Riku big enough to squash an elephant. The first time he'd laid eyes on Riku, we were about three at the time, mom said he'd asked why an Angel had moved in next door. It didn't take him very long to figure out that Riku was no angel, but that still didn't stop him from inviting Riku to come play with us and he became Sora's best friend. Years passed and Sora decided he was in love with his best friend, he woke me up at four in freaking morning to inform me of that fact and also to confide the fact that he didn't want to make a move out of fear of losing his best friend. So I was sworn to secrecy and things continued the way they were, though Sora seemed to delight in getting his best friend into the most awkward situations that had it been anyone else but Riku, Sora would have been jumped or dumped already.
Really, the only one who was completely clueless to this crush would be Riku himself, who also happened to have a crush on Sora, who also doesn't realize his friend's feelings… oh the irony! The only reason the terrible two hadn't interfered in their relationship was because they had bets on who would jump the other first. Currently the odds were in favor of Riku jumping Sora and the pot was a couple hundred munny.
Sora finally seemed to notice me standing in the doorway, he glanced back at Riku who hadn't noticed anything and was still probably fighting that blush I just knew he had. He looked back at me, his grin turning Cheshire. I grinned an identical grin back knowing what he was thinking. I took a step into the room and cleared my throat.
"Having fun Riku?" Sure I may have said it a bit louder then normal, but that was no reason to yelp and collapse in a heap right on top of Sora. Which was exactly what the two of us figured would happen.
Sprawled on my brother, Riku's head whipped around to face me, my grin still plastered on my features. His face was completely pink from blushing, turquoise eyes wide, mouth trying to form words.
"R-roxas! W-what are you…?" He managed to stutter. I chuckled, crossing my arms I reply.
"What am I doing here Riku? Well, considering this is my room, I thought that would be obvious… I didn't scare you did I?" Riku's eyes narrowed, not really happy that I was basically laughing at him.
"No!... well yeah! Geesh you shouldn't sneak up on people like that! People will think you're turning into Yuffie."
Urgh, two Yuffies, I'd kill myself first. After a quick shudder at that thought, I'd noticed Riku had yet to move from his position off my brother… not that Sora looked like he was going to complain any time soon. Point of fact, his blush was turning him into a lobster and his hands were twitching a little, as if really trying to resist the urge to grab Riku and perform naughty acts with him in front of his twin. Where the hell do these two get their self-control from?!?
"So… Riku… if you really wanted to screw Sora senseless why didn't you just say so, I would have left you two alone." His eyes got big again as he realized where he still was and he jumped to his feet, brushing himself off. He was intent on looking anywhere but Sora, so he missed the pout on my brother's face as Sora sat up, wrapping his arms around his knees.
Sora huffed a little in disappointment before turning to me and taking in my wonderful appearance.
"Um.. Roxas, what happened to you?" Riku turned to look at me curiously.
"Shit. Did you get ran over by a lawnmower?" I glared at Riku, willing his perfect hair to burst into flame. When it didn't I sighed, looking down at my thoroughly trashed uniform. Gawd was Larxene gonna kill me.
"No. I was ran over by a motorcycle." Eyebrows rose.
"Oh? What type?" Riku asked. I gave him a strange look. "What? I like bikes. I just wanted to know. Besides, it's not like you're laying on the ground bleeding. So obviously I don't need to worry about your health at the moment."
Wow. Even my friends hate me… granted he's more Sora's friend then mine, but still… hasn't he heard the fastest way into a persons pants is through their family!?
"I don't know Riku," I grit out, "I'll be sure to look next time I decide to get ran over. Shall I get their phone number so you can call and talk shop with them also?"
"Sure, if you have time." Riku grinned, having gotten over the embarrassment of before and now thoroughly entertained by my pain.
"Riku.. you might want to stop now, unless you want Yuffie and Rikku sicced on you…" Sora mumbled pulling on Riku's pant leg, smiling a little despite the danger of the threat.
Riku blanched.
Yeah, I didn't think so! I smirk evilly.
"Oh, Sora!" I turn on my brother suddenly remembering mom's words, "Mom says we need to get ready for that barbeque."
"Crap that's right!" Riku smacked himself in the head. "I need to get home before my uncles get there, or else dad'll kill me!"
"You have uncles?" Both Sora and I say, very much surprised. Riku looks at us both like we're stupid.
"Is that really so shocking?" Sora and I look at each other before I reply.
"Well… yeah. I mean your dad's Sephiroth. We just can't imagine your grandparents wanting to chance having another one just like him." Riku rolled his eyes, but didn't object.
"I guess you have a point, but, well… they did. Triplets in fact. I've never met them though, so I have no idea what they're like. They might actually be normal." Sora and I exchange glances.
"Sure Riku."
"Whatever you say." He threw his hands up.
"I give up. I'm going home. I'll see you guys in a little bit." He started for the door behind me, before I blocked his way.
"You might not want to go down there." An eyebrow rose in question, "mom's on a wedding kick." His mouth formed an "O" before he turned and headed toward one of the windows with a dresser underneath it. He climbed on top and opened the window.
"And you say my family's fucked up." He shot as he climbed down a rose trellis that came up the entire side of the house.
After he left, I turned to Sora, who was still sitting on the floor, arms around his knees, staring at the window Riku had left through.
"Earth to lover boy." I said playfully, waving a hand in front of his eyes. "anyone in there?"
He smacked my hand away before glaring at me.
"Don't call me that!" I shrug.
"What? Lover boy?"
"Yeah!"
"Make me!" I stick my tongue out at him. He tackled me onto the floor… for the fourth time that day… ow. Before attacking me with his fingers. Tickling my sides, while he sat on my legs.
"Wahhahaha! Sora s-stop!" The urge to laugh overpowering the pain in my knees from the much abused road rash. He grinned as I convulsed barely able to breathe.
"Make me!" He mimics, sticking the tongue out and everything.
Oh, it's on! I surge up and attack his sides, managing to roll us over before he gets his senses back. We roll on the floor for a while, before mom yells up the stairs.
"You two had better be getting ready, or I'll sic the girls on you!" We stopped or play fight, me on top of Sora, to stare at each other. We burst out laughing before Sora pushes me off, getting up and heading for his dresser.
