Hey, if anyone wants to suggest things that they may want to see show up into the story, tell me and I'll work it in. =3 I'd thoroughly enjoy the suggestions (I've wanted to write this for a while but I kept forgetting to XD)

Paper Moon

Chapter Seven

Everlasting

Roxas

"How long do you think until someone finds us?" I ask as I poke the floor with my finger, sitting on it after both of us having given up our door-pounding.

He shrugs, lying down onto the ground.

"This is a pretty big house, you know." He sighs and closes his eyes, making me wonder just what Sora is thinking about.

"Wanna play a game to pass the time?" I ask. He opens one eye and looks at me.

"Sure."

"Okay. We have to ask one question and the person has to answer truthfully. Easy enough?" He nods. "You start."

He laughs a little, looking to the ceiling.

"Have you ever had any strange thoughts that you couldn't understand?" He asks.

"More or less. But they're frequent now." I lie down onto the ground beside him, mostly because it looks comfortable. "Have you?"

"Often enough." He shrugs. "What do you enjoy doing the most?"

I hum a moment, thinking. "Just relaxing is enjoyable, as long as you do it with someone you enjoy spending time with." I grin at his expression. "Have you... ever loved someone other than your mother?"

He falls silent a moment, a deep-in-thought look in his eyes. I wonder if that was a bad question... but I'm honestly curious.

"I have." He says finally in a soft voice. "Back when I lived in one of our other houses, I knew this girl. Her name was Kairi.(A.N.: FK it this is her ONLY appearance, I don't especially like her or Namine or Xion -.-)She went around telling people we were together, and I ended up believing her. I did like her, but not how she did. I moved here shortly after one month, having decided to call it off. Other than that... there's only been one other."

"Who?" I ask, curious. He shakes his head.

"My turn. Have you ever loved someone?" He asks, looking at me out of the corner of his eyes.

"I don't know... as you know, I've never been given that emotion... so I don't know what it is."

"It's a nice feeling." He starts explaining it to me. "If you truly care for someone, you often feel right when you're beside them." He offers me a quick smile, looking to the ceiling. "And you sometimes get feelings in your stomach at what they do, but not out of nausea. More of a... fluttery feeling. You enjoy it when you have skin contact of any sort."

I fall silent, looking at my hands.

But is it normal to love one of your own gender?

Sora

He falls silent, eyes confused and more than a little curious all the same.

"Can I ask you something?" He says suddenly. I look at him, but he's looking up at the ceiling.

"Of course." I smile at him.

"I heard some people one day at my school saying that loving someone of your own gender is wrong and unnatural, punishable by law or something like that. Is that true?" He asks.

"Of course its not true. Some places might punish that kind of love, but most places don't. It just means you have a different type you can see yourself with."

"Your turn." He says after a moment.

"So... have you ever loved someone?"

"I... have." He says softly, so softly I think I didn't hear it. "Tell me who you have cared for like that. That's my question."

"A close friend of mine." I say hesitantly. "And you?"

"A friend of mine." He smiles to himself. "Always very kind to me, really. It's hard to immagine myself otherwise, with your help, of course."

I feel a small sinking feeling in my stomach. But I hide it with a smile.

"Hey Sora?" He asks. I look at him. "Don't move, you have something on your nose." His hand brushes on my nose as he removes whatever is there, and, out of reflex I close my eyes.

And open them again when I feel the most hesitant of pressures right on my lips, agonizingly restrained.

He starts to pull away, and in a desperate attempt I lean forward to keep the contact just a little longer, relishing in the touch as I let my eyes flutter closed again, hands snaking to behind his neck to keep him there a little longer.

Third Person

I think they've stayed there enough. The maid digs into her pocket for the Library key she 'borrowed' from the Head Butler. (A.N.: OMG Perp identity revealed!) Really, I just hope he won't hate me... young master might, really. What have I done?

She quickly unlocks the door with the key, pocketing it and swinging it open hesitantly, peering in.

Well well, maybe he won't hate me after all. She giggles to herself as she closes the door gently again, giving them a little more time.

Roxas

His hands slip from my neck shortly thereafter, and we both pull back just a fraction, eyes opening halfway and faces merely inches apart, mouths open a tad bit so our breaths mix.

"I'm sorry." I say after a moment like that. He shakes his head, ever so slowly coming closer to press his lips once more, hands coming back up into my hair. It's sweet in every way, mostly because he tastes like sweets, but that's alright. Once again we pull back, but his hands remain in my hair, his head resting on the floor once again.

"It's alright." He smiles a bit. "You can do that as much as you want."

So I do. I give him gentle kisses over and over, hands right above his hair.

And of course good moments always come to an end, because the door opens and we pull back hesitantly, ever so slowly and ever so comfortable. We both look up and see May, eyes flying wide and just as quickly getting rid of all contact with each other in record time.

She laughs.

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves."

I can feel my face combust into flames - not litterally, but it feels that way. I look to my lap, but Sora laughs with a smile.

"I think we did." He admits, eyes shining when I look up. He looks at me and smiles wider.

Awww I enjoyed writing this chapter =3 That's it for tonight and I hope you'll enjoy everything I have planned for you in the near future.
