Anyways here is the new chapter and it's really short, sorry 'bout that, hope you like it anyways ^^

Riku's pov

Roxas has been acting all weird the whole morning, the same goes for Axel. I wonder what happened between those two. Though, I can guess that Kairi is a part of it since Roxas doesn't like her and suddenly she's with Axel all the time. I asked Axel if they were dating but he said no. I don't like her either. She's trying too much and always trying to get Sora, who of course sees nothing, but that's a part of why I love him.

"Riku, what are you smiling about?" Sora asked and I shook my head trying to gather my thoughts.

"Nothing really, I just can't stop loving you Sora." His face flushed and he ducked his head.

"Love you too." He murmured and rested his head on my shoulder.

Roxas looked over at us but stayed quiet… see! He's quiet. He always makes a comment about us when we're like this.

"Is something wrong Roxas?"

"Just tired." I frowned but let it go. He talks when he feels like it.

We finished lunch and went our separate ways. I saw Axel looking at Roxas with confusion and hurt in his eyes but Roxas didn't seem to notice and of course Kairi was here so he probably wanted to get away as soon as possible. I gave Sora a kiss and ran up to Axel. Kairi had gone off with her friend Selphie so it was just me and Axel.

"What's up with you and Roxas?" Axel's shoulders slumped and even his spikes seemed to droop.

"I don't know. Before yesterday he seemed to open up to me and now he's even more distant than he was when I first met him."

"Did you do something to piss him off?"

I had seen how irritated he was when he saw Axel and Kairi together and I think the problem lies there.

"I don't know, I said Kairi was cool and the he sorta blew up in my face and told me to never come near him again." He sounded kind of heartbroken and I snorted, which made him look accusingly at me.

"If you want to even be an acquaintance of Roxas' you can't say that Kairi is cool or stuff like that 'cause he hates her and has for a few years."

"Why, she's alright, a bit clingy but that's all."

"We don't know her like Roxas does. Another thing you should know."

"What?"

"Roxas doesn't have friends." Axel seemed really confused by this.

"What do you mean?"

"He doesn't feel the need to have friends. Though, I think Hayner and Seifer are his friends, but if they would start arguing with him over something or what not he would sort of cut the ties and not care anymore. Someone may call him a friend but if they hurt him or offend him in some way he won't care about them anymore and he won't try to keep the relationship up."

"So… you're saying that I've blown all my chances 'cause I don't dislike Kairi." He asked incredulous.

"Well, you probably bothered him at the wrong time. Usually he wouldn't care but he's been more emotional lately, and you don't have to hate her, just not drag her around all the time so she's with when you're with him and don't talk about her with him."

"So, what should I do?"

"Talk to him and say you want to be friends or whatever. Talk to him at the gathering tonight at their house. You can ask Demyx and Zexion too, it'll be just friends."

"Okay, I'll do that." His grin was in place again and he looked happier.

The bell rang and I parted with Axel who had chemistry. Sora was waiting by the lockers and then we left school.

"How's Roxas?" I asked as we walked towards his house.

"I don't know, he won't talk to me." Sora sighed.

I brought him into a hug and kissed his temple. I promise that it was not my intention to get him depressed so I could cuddle with him in public.

"He'll probably talk when he's ready."

"That's what Cloud said…" he exclaimed looking frustrated then he turned sad. "…but I'm his twin." He turned to me. "Shouldn't that count for something?"

"Maybe it should… but then you wouldn't have any private-life and you might have to tell him what we do at night." I smirked.

Sora flushed beat red and hit my arm.

"Shut up you meanie." He pouted cutely.

"Love you too." I smiled and drew him in for a kiss.

When I released him he seemed to be in a better mood.

"Let him talk when he feels ready and be there for him when he does."

"Okay."

"Good. Now, I would really like to follow you home but I have some things to fetch from my home. See you in a bit?"

"Sure, it's just to walk in."

"Perfect." I murmured and kissed him again.

"Okay, off you go and hurry up." Sora said and gave me one last peck on the lips before he ran off towards his home.

I turned right to the street that let me to my uncle's house. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and strolled down the street mostly thinking about Sora and our upcoming anniversary, and I know just what to get him.

The door was unlocked and I went upstairs towards my room, without saying 'hi' to Seph since he's probably working anyways. It's not that we don't get along. We just have a more silent communicative relationship. My room was spacious and tidy, not messy like Sora's room usually is. I grabbed a half large bag and packed some clothes and a few …other… stuff no one needs to know about. When I was done I headed for the stairs when I heard the bell ring and Sephiroth came rushing to answer it. The door opened and Roxas stepped inside. They seemed familiar with each other, even though they've barely met before. I stepped closer to hear what they were saying.

"You sure you don't want to tell your brother?" Sephiroth asked.

"No, it's unnecessary to alarm him if it's nothing, none of them." Roxas replied

"Alright, I'll go and gather my things and then we'll leave." Sephiroth left and then came back a few moments later with his gun and gloves.

"Left the sword on the shelf?" Roxas asked seemingly amused.

"A gun is safer if something comes up."

Sephiroth put on his black coat and tied his hair back in a tail. I moved slightly backwards but as soon as I moved Roxas looked up our eyes locking with each other. Sephiroth turned and saw me.

"Come down Riku." He asked gently and I walked down to them.

"What's going on?"

"Please don't tell my brothers that you saw me here, I'll do anything, just, please?" Roxas pleaded.

Roxas never begged anyone, it was against his nature.

"…Fine, but you'll have to tell me later."

"Thank you, I will."

"Alright, but why do you two seem so friendly together?"

"We go way back." Roxas smirked. "But we have no time to talk, we need to go."

They opened the door and Roxas stepped outside. I grabbed Sephiroth's arm and he turned to me.

"Keep him safe."

"I will. Lock the doors when you leave."

I watched them leave before I locked the windows and grabbed my bag, then left myself and headed towards Sora's house.

"What took you so long?" Sora asked as he pulled me inside.

"Spoke with Sephiroth some."

"Well, hurry up next time." He pouted cutely.

"Promise, Sor."

"Good." He smiled and drew me in for a kiss.

"Think we have some time before the others get here?"

"Probably not, did you invite Axel?"

"Yup, now we'll just have to hope he and Rox… shit!" I swore. I had totally forgotten about the plan.

"What?"

"Nothing, just hoping Roxas will be here so we can get them to talk." I really hated keeping things from him.

"Yeah, he might be late, said he was going for a walk." Sora scrunched his nose.

"Well, let's not worry about that now. I have something else in mind." I smirked and moved him backwards.

"Oh, really, but then you'll have to catch me first." He laughed and ran upstairs.

I laughed and began chasing him. Whatever Roxas was up to he would tell us in the end, if it was important. Though, I get the feeling that something bas is about to happen.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
