I've decided to write some more drabbles recently. I hope to update a little more frequently. I'm taking requests, so if there is a story you would like to see, please tell me. All of the previous drabbles have undergone revision, some of them more obvious than others (one drabble was completely rewritten). I hope you enjoy.

Prompt #95: Advertisement

Characters/Pairings: mild Roxas/Sora

Summary: Sora answers a babysitting ad, and finds that the father of the children he will be caring for is absolutely gorgeous.


Sora looked up at the large house—no, this thing was a mansion—and gulped. Why, oh why did he decide to take this job? Well, he really needed the money…rent was getting harder to pay with his job giving him fewer hours than usual…swallowing nervously, he reached out and rang the doorbell. It made a gorgeous chiming sound that echoed even outside the house, causing the brunette to jump. He didn't have to wait long before the door was opened. But he didn't get a single moment to recover, because the man that opened the door was absolutely beautiful.

"Ah, you must be Sora, right? We spoke on the phone. It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Roxas." The gorgeous blond held out his hand and Sora shook it wordlessly, noticing how the older man's hand practically swallowed his own. "The kids are just finished breakfast, come in and I'll introduce you." Sora followed Roxas inside, removing his shoes at the door and hurrying after him into the kitchen. Two children, just as beautiful as their father, were sitting at the kitchen table with bowls of cereal in front of them. "This is Naminé, my gorgeous daughter, and her handsome twin brother Demyx." The twins beamed at Sora, Demyx wearing a wide grin and Naminé waving shyly.

"Hello, my name is Sora. I think we will get along just fine!" The brunet chirped, feeling more at ease around the kids. Roxas smiled at the three of them in relief.

"Alright, there's a list of things on the fridge. It includes emergency contact numbers and places that you can take the kids to. I think it goes without saying that if you have any questions about where things are, just ask them. They know the layout of this house better than I do." The children giggled at that, scrambling out of their chairs to latch onto Roxas' legs. He made a show of struggling to walk around the kitchen before prying them off and turning them loose on Sora. They skipped hand-in-hand towards the brunet, eyed him for a moment, then attached themselves to his arms.

"We like you!" They chimed together, though Demyx was more enthusiastic than his shy twin. Sora grinned at them.

"Well that's good, because I like you too! We're going to have a lot of fun today."

"I'm sure you all will. I need to get going now, my meeting starts in half an hour. Thanks again for the help, Sora. I really appreciate you taking the time to come out here and care for my kids." Roxas interjected. Sora blushed faintly and smiled. Roxas' smile widened at the light blush on the younger man's face. He really was cute.

"It's no problem. Besides, I told you over the phone that I really need the experience with kids. Can't be an elementary teacher if I don't know how to handle them!" He said enthusiastically, swinging the twins on his arms as they laugh and held on more tightly.

"I think you're going to be just fine. I'm going now. Please call me if you have any problems." Roxas kissed his kids on the forehead and shook Sora's hand before leaving. Sora stared after him, somewhat dazed. It was hard to find an attractive man like that who was good with kids and was kind. He realized with a start that he was getting a crush on the man he was working as a nanny for. Oh boy, things were going to get interesting.

"Come on you two, I heard you like to color. I brought some sidewalk chalk for that big driveway of yours...I'm thinking a circus." He said after a moment, trying to cover up his momentary slip.

Demyx and Naminé exchanged knowing looks. They liked Sora. Sora liked their dad. And while Roxas didn't show it, they knew that their dad liked their new babysitter too. Things were going to be a lot more fun around here.
