So I kept the pace right? It didn't rush at the end did it? Jeez I mean if it did PLEASE tell me cuz I honestly can't tell. I read over it like...4 times and I still can't tell...
Anyways, this is the last chapter and I kind of like how I ended it. Especially because I adore this couple, I think more than AkuRoku actually. Which is scary...But whatever. Love it hate it I'll be putting a new story up soon since I'm not going to be going to my senior year. I'm going to take my GED and get my high school diploma that way (since i already passed mah state test (FCAT) I can get it) So updates may come a little...more frequently I guess I could say :)

Chapter 7: Let Love In

Opening my eyes, I look to my left to see a smile that I thought I would never see. Those musty blue eyes that have evaded me and the slate blue hair that falls over the right side of his face, yet is cropped short in the back. Worn gray jeans stick to his skinny legs and a ebony shirt adorns his slight torso. "Are you going to gawk at me like an idiot or are you going to let me show you back to your house?" I only manage to nod and stagger to my feet. I follow underneath the umbrella as he leads me to his car. From the moment his eyes leave me to take in the road, I lose all sense of time, because I must had fallen asleep.

Fingers grip my shoulder as I'm lightly shook awake. "Riku, come on and wake up. I can't carry you inside." I groan to show that I'll comply and slip out of the car. The petite two story house appears homely as I make my way up the front steps while he unlocks the door. He takes me to the bathroom on the second floor and leaves me to go brew some tea.

After lazily taking my shower and drying off, I glance and notice a small pile of clothes on the lip of the sink. I pull the strings, only a little, on the ash colored sweats before shrugging the visibly worn button up shirt onto my shoulders. Once the used towel is hung on the rack, I make my way down the stairs, slowly doing up the buttons as I do.

With that numb feeling in my body, I stride into the kitchen where he is leaning against the counter, tapping his fingers on the cheap surface, anxiously waiting for the tea to be done. His steady gaze falls onto me, the sadness and anger clear in his features.

Scared of how he's going to react, I struggle with the right words. "I'm sorry."

'I'm sorry'? That's all I can come up with? Someone kill me now...before I do it myself! There's no way I'm going to convince him of anything at this rate.

"You stood me up. Why?"

"I...I was helping Namine move out and I forgot. You don't know how much I wanted to meet you."

Ienzo turns from me and pours the tea into two glasses. "You don't want to. All I seem to cause is trouble. I'm leaving in the morning nonetheless."

Before I let my mind process my coming actions, I step forward and wrap my arms around his waist, letting my cheek rest against his hair. "And I'm coming with you...Ienzo. I don't give a crap whether you want me to call you Zexion or Ienzo. I don't care if my Dad is trying to pay you off so that he can keep his son at his feet. I want to be with you whether you want me to or not."

"You're still stubborn as always."

"Why wouldn't I be?"

A soft laugh escapes his lips, sounding so sweet to my ears. "Because I found you looking like you had crawled through a mud hole."

With my hands on his hips, I turn him around and push the locks away out of his eyes. Pecking his forehead, I smile. "I did it for you. Lately, everything I've done has been for you."

"I love you Riku."

"I know you do. Now give me my tea."

The next morning I wake up with that beautiful angel in my arms. Placing a ghostly kiss on his lips, I switch his alarm off and gently prod him awake. "You'd better get up or you'll miss your flight."

A disgruntled moan is what I receive as he pulls the sheets over his head. "The alarm hasn't gone off."

"Because I turned it off..." Grinning, I realize the way to get him up, "You're running an hour late. The flight leaves in ten minutes."

With that he shoots up out of bed and dashes to his carry on bag, digging out his attire for the day. I only chuckle and shake my head as he rushes around getting ready. By the time he's done, no more than three minutes have passed. Standing beside the bed, he finally glances at the clock...the dumbfounded look replacing the hurried one that had previously occupied his countenance.

"I hate you."

"No, you just hate that you believed me."

But I love that you did.

A gentle peck presses against my cheek as spins around. "I'll see you at our new house tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you there. I just have to make a couple stops."

Ienzo's feather like footfalls vanish as the shutting of the door is the last thing I hear. Last night he told me that he had taken me here out of last resort, his parents' house. They'll be gone for another few days on their vacation, but I'll be out within the half-hour.

Sighing, I sit up and dress into the clothes I had worn yesterday. However, now they're clean and stain free thanks to Ienzo. Passing the kitchen on my way out I notice the stack of notebook paper on the counter with a pen residing next to it. A letter is scribbled onto it in Ienzo's lovely script, which is surely left for his parents. I take a couple pages from the bottom and rush through a letter of my own. Once I'm done, I fold it and stick it in my back pocket. Leaving the house, I begin my nice walk back to my place.

I immediately cock an eyebrow at the two extra cars parked in the driveway. Axel and Demyx lean against one while Roxas and Sora lounge in the other. "What are you guys doing here?"

Demyx bounds over to me, "Zexy called us and said that you might need help packing. So, here we are at your service!"

"Um, thanks I guess. Might as well get started then."

I show Axel and Demyx up to the second floor, telling them to pack up the office and then the other one on the first floor as well. Which won't be too hard since everything is in boxes already. They're mostly papers. I then take Roxas and Sora to my bedroom, telling them to just pack up clothes and the sheets for the bed since the summer house already is fully loaded. Once they have their assignments I give them one last thanks and tell them that I have one last errand to run.

From there I drive back to the law firm and rush in to meet the secretary at the desk. "Give this to Sephiroth."

The lady bobs her head and calls her assistant over. As I walk out the door, that poor girl is walking into the elevator, heading into the lion's den to deliver the rest of the bad news to my supposed father.

The slight bounce in my step only seems to become more prominent at the site of the dark insides of my condo. The only two people standing in my driveway are Demyx and Axel. Climbing out of my car, Axel bursts into action, piling the few boxes into my trunk and back seat. I let the redhead do his thing and stride over to his blonde companion. "Where did Roxas and Sora run off to?"

"They went to go help Cloud pack up as well. Him and Squall don't know where they're going though."

Reaching into my pocket, I pull out the keys to my place, no my old place now, and hand them to Demyx. "Tell Cloud that he's owes me two favors now. One for sending Squall to him and the other for giving him the condo."

"You don't have to do that you know."

"I want to. Cloud's hard working and he needs a place to sleep that doesn't involve either of their parents' basements or the back of a vehicle."

Demyx grins so wide I almost fear for his safety, hoping his face doesn't stick, "That's nice of you."

Silence attempts to edge into the conversation. But I don't let it. "I'm moving to the beach house with Ienzo."

Demyx chuckles. "This would be the point where Xigbar would say, 'As if I didn't know that.'" Another few laughs until his tone edges onto serious. "We'll be down to visit. Make sure you're treating our friend right."

"Thanks Demyx."

"We should thank you. For saving our friend and giving him someone to believe in."

Axel slaps his hand onto my back, "Well you're already to go now get gone!"

Rolling my eyes, I hold my smirk in place as I slip back onto the warm leather seat. The sun's rays beats down on my car as well as the grins of two new friends. If I'm aloud to call them that, that is. I don't waist another breath. Starting up the car, I prepare for the long three hour drive.

Sure I could take a plane but that would mean I would have to wait to see Ienzo longer than it would take me to drive to him. I'd rather not worry with luggage anyway. It's not that far. I'll be there by dinner.

The waving appendages of the two fade behind me as I direct my automobile to the highway.

A smile sits on the corners of my mouth as I walk up to the door. Night had fallen a mere hour earlier and I don't intend to wait a minute longer. A single light breaks the shroud of darkness around the house and it comes from the living room. I unlock the door and step inside, carefully locking the door behind me. I ease my duffel bag onto the tile and tiptoe into the room, careful not to wake him if he's sleeping.

Rounding the side, I kneel down in front and push the slate blue hair from his face. Lashes flutter and reveal to me those stormy orbs. The shock flushes from his face as a winning smile replaces it. Ienzo sits up and allows me to sit down, which is where I pull him into my lap, holding him close.

"I love you Ienzo."

"I guess I love you too."

My eyebrows rise and I push him back, "You guess? You'd better be certain or I'm going to shove you off my lap."

"We both know that you don't have the heart to do that. Especially not to me."

I bite the inside of my lip before letting a smirk slip onto my lips. Shoving him off, he lands on his butt, glaring up at me. "Don't have the heart huh?" A slight pout shows through the veil of blue tresses and I can't help the smile. Bending down and lifting him into my arms, I head to the stairs.

"What are you doing Riku? I can walk just fine. Put me down this instance." Long, thing fingers press against my chest in a weak attempt.

I simply shake my head before stopping in front of the master bedroom. Tilting my head down, I touch our foreheads together. "Don't you want to refresh my memory on our night together?"

Crimson shades his pale cheeks and an almost inaudible, blissful sigh escapes his lips. "I love you Riku."

"I know you do," and I leave a kiss on the crown of his head before shutting the bedroom door behind me.
