So. I've decided to be incredibly stupid about the whole thing xD.

WARNING: Filler chapter.

And to my reviewer, whose name crossed my mind at the moment, there is going to be a twist, which you will find out in the next Roxas chapter. Not this Roxas chapter, but the next. Roxas' chapters are the odd numbers, and Hayner's the even. :D


Chapter Three

Life without a friend is death without a witness.


I sat on my couch, idly flipping through the channels. Why was there never anything on? With over a thousand laugh-inducing channels, there had to be something on that was interesting. Well, I was wrong. No matter how many times you tried to find something interesting you never could.

I could call someone and ask them to come over, but I really didn't want to see Hayner, or anyone of the spiky red-haired appearance. I just sighed and walked to the door, turning to look in the kitchen. "Dad, I'm going out for a walk. I'll call you if something happens. Not that it will, of course."

I opened the front door and walked out, closing it behind me. As I breathed in the warm, summer air, I realized that it smelled like the ocean outside. The ocean, I'd like to go to the beach someday, I haven't been since before I got sick. Maybe I could ask Dad to take me, or Ventus.

I found myself a few steps away from the Sandlot, through the alley way, I could see Seifer and Rai talking. I stepped out and watched as Seifer's gaze shifted to me. He held up a finger to Rai, and leaped off the bench, walking up to me painfully slowly. "What are you doing in my territory, wuss?"

"Ha-ha, Seifer. Just yesterday, you were being all friendly with me, so please don't give me that tough-ass bullshit."

"Wuss, I'm warning you . . . ,"

"Oh stop with empty threats, Seifer, you're not scaring anyone. I need to talk to you."

"About what? There's nothing you can't say about me that my guys don't know."

"You act completely different towards me when Hayner is around. Am I over-thinking things, or do you like him?"

I was pushed back roughly, his hawk-like eyes on me. "Let's talk about this somewhere else. Not here, not now."

Seifer had pulled me all the way to his house, where we sat down on the couch. "So, you do like Hayner?"

"Yes, no, I don't know. Being around him makes me want to vomit, and not being around him makes me lonely. Hey, maybe I just want to beat his face into a pulp, or maybe it's just that my friends talk about you guys all the time."

"Why do your friends talk about us?" I asked incredulously.

"Well, I think Fuu has a lesbian crush on Olette or something, and Rai just wants to talk about struggling with you guys, and I bring up Hayner a lot, try to stick up for him when I can."

"You do like him," I stated. "Wow, that's just," great. I completely forgot I was sworn to secrecy. ". . . well."

"You can't tell him, or anyone. Now, let's play a game or something."

He grabbed the game board and I picked out the thimble thing, the same one I always used. Near the end of the game, I had won by a few hundred money pieces. In the end, I left. Seifer had pulled the door open for me.

"Why thank you, what a gentleman you are!" I said, with my fake-girly voice. I leaned up to kiss him on the cheek. "See you tomorrow, Seifer. I won't tell Hayner or anyone. I've been asked to keep several secrets in the last few days." I kissed his cheek again and turned around as he shut the door behind me.

My eyes met with a pair of honey-brown orbs. I gasped. "Hayner, that wasn't . . . no, that's not what—"

Might as well save my voice, because he was already gone.

Sorry that this one was so short, it was kind of a filler, and I had mental-block as Roxas! D:

Well, do you like it? (:

Me tooo!
