We're going to look into other people's thoughts now. Yes it is strange to see Sephi and Geni act the way they will.
I own nothing in here!
After school Sora decided to go with Riku to the beach so they could visit their secret cave. The cave was on one the many islands of the coast of Twilight Town, the island chain was called Destiny islands and that was where Sora and Leon use to live until they moved to Twilight Town four years ago.
Riku rented a simple motor boat for him and Sora to use to get to the island the cave was on and they were there in ten minutes.
"I say we get a jet ski and come here in case the bon fire's a complete bore." Riku said as he tied the boat to the dock.
"I thought a party wasn't a party without you?" Sora asked with a teasing smile.
"Yes, party. Not school event." Riku said standing up straight and tapping his knuckles one Sora's forehead lightly.
"Still a party." The brunette said then he started running ahead of his silver haired lover.
Riku chased after him, catching him in five seconds. He was on the school track team so of course he was faster than Sora by who know how much. But because he hated to see brunette love with a pouty face he offered to let him ride piggyback to the cave which was answered with a happy "Thank you!" and a quick peck on the lips.
The inside of the cave was exceptionally dark, but allowed enough light to see by to seep in, comfortably cool, and dry; the tide only reached to about the outer edge of the entrance. The wall parallel to the cave mouth was covered with many drawings done by Sora and Riku back when they were in middle school after Sora moved to the city on the main land.
Sora ran a hand over the drawing he did back when Riku first showed him the cave, of them sharing a paopu fruit "We came a long way since we met huh Riku?" he asked.
"Yeah. You said that paopu would guarantee our eternal friendship, you were wrong. It made it grow into something better." The silverette said.
"Then that mistake was a good one right?" Sora asked with a bright grin.
Riku nodded then looked at something he wrote on the wall:
Dates That Matter to Me
December 8- Cloud, Ventus, & Roxas move in (ten years ago)
July 24- Sora & Leon move to Twilight Town (four years ago)
November 30- Cloud get's me my first cell phone, happy birthday to me! (four years ago)
March 9- Sora's birthday
June 10- Haunted House plan: perfectly executed, take that Loz, Kadoj, and Yazoo! (three- and- a half years ago)
May 20- First date w/ Sora (two years ago)
May 27- Sora & I are an official couple (two years ago)
July 1- Good- bye Cloud and Roxas (next month)
The last listed date made Riku's eye well up with tears and he quickly blinked them away, but Sora was still able to notice them "Riku? You alright?" he asked, wrapping his arms around the other's waist.
"I'm fine. Why do you ask?" the silverette replied.
"Are you that sad about your cousins leaving?" Sora asked.
At that Riku fell to his knees and Sora knelt beside him, bringing his head into his chest "I just don't think it's fair that Dad's sending Roxas and Ventus to live with my grandmother. She's nice and all, but it's gonna feel empty at home. Cloud I can understand, he and Leon are going to stay with Cloud's friend Tifa in Midgar. But Rox and Ven are gonna be so much farther away in Nibelheim." The silverette said, allowing his tears to fall.
"I know, I'm gonna miss them too." Sora knew well how much Riku loved his cousins, they were the brother's Loz, Kadoj, and Yazoo weren't to him.
Roxas was in his room starting to pack his things into boxes, not that he had much to pack away anyway. He and his bothers lost everything they'd owned in the fire that killed their parents so when it came to his uncle buying him things he never asked for more than he needed, as did Cloud and Ventus but they asked for the more expensive things.
A knock sounded at his door "Come in." he said and Sephiroth walked in.
"I see you've got a head start on the packing, but you're not leaving for two- and- a half weeks." He commented.
"I don't want you to feel like you have to rush us when it comes down to the line." Roxas said.
His uncle laughed "You're like you're mother, always considerate about everyone but yourself." His face took on a serious expression "But not Axel."
Roxas looked at him "Genesis told me he was acting weird when he got home, something about you keeping secrets. You didn't tell him you were leaving soon did you?" Sephiroth asked.
Looking to the floor with a depressed expression on his face the blond nodded "I don't want him to feel... I dunno. But I vowed to myself that the time we have left together will be the best and I'll tell him two days before we leave."
"It's best to tell him now, he's sure to catch on to it at some point so you should give him the reason ahead of time. That's just my advice though, you handle this how you see fit." Sephiroth said, ruffling the blonde's hair and leaving the room.
Roxas sat on his bed as tears started falling from his eyes "But I… I don't want him to think I don't care when I do. More than he may believe, I love him."
Axel was in his room with his iPod blasting his ears like he wanted them to bleed and playing videogames like his life depended on it when his father came in, he didn't notice though.
"Axel I need to talk to you!" he shouted but still went unnoticed by his youngest son. He was about to call out to him again when he heard a song- ringtone.
I can't wait to fall in love with you.
You can't wait to fall in love with me.
"Your phone's ringing!" Genesis shouted over the lyrics, still getting no response.
This just can't be summer love, you see.
This just can't be summer love. (No, no, baby.)
Out of annoyance Genesis pulled the plug on the PS3, causing Axel to pull his iPod from his ears and jump up from his bed shouting, "What the hell Dad?"
"Excuse me?" Genesis responded calmly, examining his finger nails.
You can't wait to fall in love with me.
Axel finally noticed that his phone was ringing and he answered it "Hey Roxie… At the bon fire? Yeah we can talk, I still want an answer for earlier… Okay, I'll see ya tonight dude." And he hung up.
"So Roxas' finally gonna tell you he's leaving?" Genesis asked.
"What?" Axel responded, dumbfounded.
"Oh yes, next month he and Ventus are going to live with their grandmother Jenova in Nibelheim. Their transferring schools and everything." His father said, then he looked up to see the expression on his son's face.
Axel looked as if his heart was ripped out, thrown on the ground, stomped on, and burned to nothing "Oh Axel, I'm sorry." He said, suddenly feeling like he was the one causing him the pain.
"That's what he didn't want to tell me? Roxie, why?" he wondered as he let tears begin to fall.
Genesis felt he should give the other redhead some form of comfort and he did, he brought his son to him and allowed him to cry on his shoulder.
Genesis ya big mouth!
