HEY FRIENDS! *creepy stare* Anyways, I'm sorry for the long ass wait, I've been procrastinating again, and it's so fun! And I also procrastinated while I was procrastinating, it's sort of like Inception if you think about it.
And I've been addicted to Tumblr. And to Naruto. Mainly Naruto since my fandom has just shifted. 0_0
ANYWAYS, enjoy this chapter!
Oh, and I have officially eaten sea-salt ice cream, it's more than amazing!
KATOKA, I DEDICATE THIS CHAPTER TO YOU! I HOPE SHE REGAINS HER SENSES.
I flipped onto my stomach and buried my face into the rough beach blanket. I closed my eyes.
"Roxas, get up and go into the water," Ven said from beside me. I tilted my head and looked at him.
"Why? I just want to lay down and relax," I replied coolly. Ven scoffed.
"That's what you do at the beach," he said to me. I closed my eyes and stretched out once more.
"Too bad, I'm not getting up," I said back to him. Ven sighed. I heard him rummage through something.
"If you don't get in that water, I'm going to throw away this ice cream," he threatened. I sat up and glared at him. I grabbed the box from his hands and set it back down on the blanket. I sighed and took of my sandals.
"Fine," I said. Ven smiled and ran to the water. I walked behind him. I glared at his back. If he actually thew away that ice cream, I don't know what I would do to him.
...Le Time Skip...
I was swimming in place not really doing anything when Sora splashed me. I glared at him and cupped my hands, splashing him back. He smiled and swam away before I could hit him again. Ven swam up to me.
"So, how do you like the ocean?" He asked me. I shrug.
"It's okay, I mean, it's not bad or anything, I'm still getting used to it. It's only my second time in the ocean, after all," I replied. Ven's jaw practically unhinged itself.
"This is only your second time in the ocean?" He asked dumbfounded. I nodded slowly.
"Yeah. Why is that so shocking?" I asked him. He shrugged.
"I-I don't know, I just sort of assumed you've been in the ocean more than twice," he said back to me. I rolled my eyes.
"I lived six hours by plane from the ocean, and that's the closest one. Did you really expect me to go to the beach every other day?" I asked sarcastically. Ven looked down for a second.
"Hm, well, no, not really," he replied. I nodded and smiled.
"Yeah, there you go," I replied. I could tell that Ven was going to say something again, but Sora cut him off. He had suddenly appeared from under the water, his hair somehow managed to stay up. I shrugged it off, some things are just a mystery, I guess. Sora gave us a large smile then pointed back at the shore.
"I'm just gonna go back and lay around. Do any of you want to come?" He asked us. I shook my head and so did Ven. I like the ocean too much to get out. Sora nodded and swam away. I watched him and I knew Ven was also.
"So, what did my Mom say to you?" Ven asked out of nowhere. I turned to look at him. Ven was looking at me, serious.
"A lot of things. It was about how she left my Dad and I," I told him. Ven wasn't satisfied.
"What about it?" He inquired.
"She said that she never intended to stop loving my Dad, and she started falling in love with Leon after she let him visit us when we were babies," I answered. Ven looked down for a second.
"Oh." I glared at Ven. Was that all he had to say about this? Wasn't he feeling angry at all?
"Ven, is that all you have to say about this? I mean, are you just feeling nothing at all?" I asked, trying not to yell at him. Ven's head snapped up.
"I'm angry believe me, I'm not happy with this one bit. But I'm nowhere near as angry as you are," he replied. I sighed and looked away from him.
"Why?" I asked him. Why was I the only one who was ready to make blood spill?
"Rox, I grew up with Tifa and Leon. They're nicer than you think. Don't get me wrong, I'm angry that she tore me away from my real father and brother, but I know she had good reason to end her marriage with Cloud. She's a good person and she did it to make sure you and I didn't know the truth. She didn't want to be in a family where he children know she's cheating on their Dad. I'd be happier if she hadn't cheated at all, but you need to trust me when I say Mom and Dad will never be broken up. I'd try and help get Mom and Cloud back together if I didn't have to be reminded how much they love each other every day. Just believe me," he told me. I sighed. I feel like an avenger, plain and simple. I will never stop being angry at Tifa. No matter how much they want me to try and step into her shoes, I just won't. I won't forgive the woman who never let me have an actual family.
I turned back to face Ven and saw that he had swum closer to me.
"I'm sorry Ven, I just can't stop hating her for what she did. I guess I'm angrier at her than you are because she took away from me the one thing I've always wanted. My Dad never remarried after Tifa left, I never had a Mom, only a Dad. At least you had a complete family, I only had one parent and all I knew was that my Mom had left my Dad and I when I was only a baby. I had despised 'Mom' ever since I hit grade school, I only started hating Tifa once I found out the reason she left," I said back to him. Ven swam closer and put an arm on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I didn't really think about it through your eyes," he said to me. I nodded.
"It's fine. I didn't really think about it like you," I replied. I smiled faintly at Ven, which he returned. I looked up at the sky. I sighed when I noticed the approaching grey clouds. Ven followed my gaze and splashed the water.
"Dang! I was just beginning to have fun!" Ven whined. He sighed and swam back to the shore. I dunked my head under the water one last time before following Ven back.
...Le Time Skip...
We were walking through the hallway of the dorm building. Sora had an ice cream stick hanging from his lips and Ven bent one between his fingers subconsciously. I had a half eaten one in my left hand and I couldn't be happier.
"Do you like it?" I asked them. Sora nodded, as did Ven.
"Yeah, it's pretty good. I just like paopu fruit more," he answered. I made a 'tch' noise and rolled my eyes.
"When will I have this mysterious paopu fruit?" I asked him. Ven turned to face me.
"I know this awesome place where there's always paopu fruit! We can take you this weekend," he told me. I smiled and nodded.
"I can't wait!" I exclaimed.
"SORA!" A voice from behind us shouted. All three of us turned around and saw Kairi with Riku standing next to her. Kairi waved and Sora waved back. I smiled at them and gave a small wave. So did Ven. Kairi gave a small wave and a minuscule smile, Riku gave a wave also, but didn't do much more than that. I'm pretty sure that's all Riku ever does anyway. Sora turned back to Ven and I for a second.
"I'll catch you guys later!" He said. I nodded. Sora sailed his fist towards my face and made a ridiculous "sh" noise. He stopped right in front of my nose, exactly when I flinched. I opened my eyes and saw his fist sitting in front of my face and Sora with a giant smile on his face. I backed away and bumped fists with him.
"BOOM!" Sora shouted at the contact. I chuckled and watched him give Ven a giant high five before jogging off to Riku and Kairi. He joined them with high fives. He walked off in the other direction with his arms around their shoulders, attempting to let his legs swing. Ven turned me around and we continued walking.
"Do you want to hang out in my dorm for a while?" He asked me. I looked at him for a second. I pursed my lips. A little part of me wanted to go and be with Axel and just talk like the old times, but another part of me wanted to be with Ven, my closest friend here.
"Uh, sure," I said back to him. Ven noticed my tiny hesitation. He stopped walking and grabbed my shoulders, twisting me around to face him.
"I think we need to talk, if you know what I mean," he said, hinting many things at once. I nodded. We continued walking and Ven swung an arm around my shoulders. I took another bite of my ice cream.
We reached his dorm in a few minutes. Ven retracted his arm from my shoulders and unlocked the door. He swung the door open and waltzed inside. I followed after him and shut the door behind me. I looked around and saw that there were dirty magazines on Zack's bed. They had various different women in-ahem revealing clothes.
I heard the shower going on in the bathroom and Zack singing a song at the top of his lungs. I laughed and fell on Ven's bed face first. He sat down next to me. He poked my back and I looked up at him. He raised an eyebrow inquisitively.
"So, you want to hang out with Axel?" He asked, hitting it home. I sat up the right way and shook my head.
"Not completely. I mean, a part of me wants to," I admitted. Ven nodded and looked at me.
"Why? You said yourself that he hurt you," he said back to, trying to make me feel like the friendship Axel and I shared wasn't actually coming back at all.
"He's been so nice lately. I'm still pretty pissed about what he did, but I think we're even for now," I replied. Ven nodded then fell back onto his bed. I followed suit.
"I guess that's true. But why do you even want to hang out with him?" He asked me. I shrugged and turned away out of habit.
"Well, because," I said. Ven bro-punched me in the shoulder.
"OOH! I know why!" He teased. I felt my cheeks heat up slightly.
"Why, then?" I inquired. Ven's face
suddenly appeared in front of mine. He had a knowing smile on his face.
"You like him," he said with a giggle. My eyes went wide and I covered my face. My face was burning up and my stomach was twisting itself over and over.
"No!" I exclaimed. Did I like him? I had liked him before? Did I like him again? Ven sat up and raised his eyebrows suggestively.
"Yeah, whatever, just go get 'em, tiger," he teased. I scoffed at the nickname and scrambled up. I walked out of the room and slammed the door. In breathed in deeply, trying to get my face to cool.
"Sora," I heard Ven say through the door. I knew that I shouldn't be listening, but I couldn't help it.
"Yeah, Sora. It's true," there was a slight pause. "Yeah, mhm. Plan 56, got it boss." Ven didn't say anything after that and I scrunched my eyebrows.
What?
I walked away from Ven's dorm and back to my own.
What is Plan 56?
Once again, I'm sorry for the long wait, very sorry. Um, and sorry it was short and not well written. I at least hope you like it and I'd appreciate your thoughts and any constructive criticism.
Have you ever read an erotic novel? ;)
Do you have a tumblr? (I do) :D
If you were to become ruler of the world, what would you do?
THANKS! I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!
