weeks, but I never finished it. Let me know what you guys think, and if it gets
a good response, I’ll try and get out more of it in the near future. Oh, and
why is Sora with Zexion you ask? Well, I’ll tell you why…I hate Riku and love
Zexion. So, in this universe, Riku is pulling a large boulder up some
infinitely tall hill somewhere, while Zexion is smothering Sora with kisses.

flashback
--------------------------------------------------
Roxas was just finishing bringing
the last of his boxes from the moving truck into his family’s new house. Being
the independent teenager that he was, Roxas had told his parents that he did
not need their help bringing his belongings into their new residence, but he
regretted that as soon as he realized just how much he actually owned. His
parents were already working on unpacking boxes in other parts of the house
while he lugged the last large box full of books up the stairs to his new room.
He placed the box down in the middle
of the stark white room, empty except for boxes, and marveled at how depressing
the room seemed. His first goal was to add a little bit of color to walls so that
one did not feel like he was in an asylum. However, he dreaded asking his
parents about painting the walls. After telling them how he was grown up enough
to not need their help moving, he had realized that the job was just too big
for him. Asking his parents for a ride to get paint may result in him having to
walk all the way to the hardware store, wherever it is, and that was something
that was just unacceptable to the exhausted blond.
All of these thoughts would have to
wait as he had just heard the doorbell ring and his mother’s voice call for him
to go downstairs. He couldn’t be sure who it was since he didn’t know anyone in
this new place, but he figured it would be one of the neighbor’s children
wanting to make friends or something. He would just talk long enough to be
polite and then get rid of the kid somehow; with all of the work ahead of him,
he didn’t have time for trivial things like making nice with people who were
now his neighbors in a town where he didn’t really want to live.
Arriving at the bottom of the
stairs, he saw his mother talking to a boy who looked to be around his own age.
He had brown, spiky hair, bright blue eyes, and was about the same height as
Roxas. His mother moved aside as he walked closer to the door and said to him, “Roxas,
this is one of our new neighbors; his name’s Sora. You and he will be going to
school together.” At the rather non-enthused expression Roxas had adopted, his
mother turned back to Sora and said, “Sora, this is my son Roxas.” As she said
his name, she placed a hand on Roxas’s shoulder. “Now, you boys go–” and then
Roxas realized why she had grabbed his shoulder as she shoved him through the
open front door, “–play nice!” And, with that, the door was closed and locked.
Roxas was suddenly very aware of the fact that his parents hadn’t given him his
copy of the house key yet. In other words, this meant that his mother expected
him to make friends with the neighbor boy and spend a sufficient amount of time
with him before she would let him back in the house.
“Uh, hi…” A voice behind him said.
Reminded of Sora’s existence, he
also became aware of the fact that his mother had just instructed him to go
“play nice” with his new neighbor. His new neighbor that went to the same
school he did. His new neighbor that was sure to tell everyone at school how he
likes to “play”…and then have tea parties with a bunch of stuffed animals.
Which, mind you, was not true, but in high school, who cared about the truth?
Realizing that Sora was just staring at him, clearly waiting for a response,
Roxas quickly tried to think up something cool and witty to say. He might not
have wanted to really hang out with the neighbor kid, but that didn’t mean he
shouldn’t try to impress him; it was never too soon to start building up a reputation
at school. But, while he continued to try and think of something profound to
say, Sora continued to stare at him waiting for him to say or do anything. So,
finally, he just said the only thing he could think of, “Hi.”
He felt rather indignant at the
response he got from Sora. Laughter. Sora had burst into laughter and all he
had said was “hi.” Roxas felt like he had already been labeled a loser and was
doomed for the rest of his high school career. Deciding that he had nothing
left to lose, since his image of being the cool, mysterious new student had
been chucked out the window, he asked, “What’re you laughing at?”
“You!” Sora exclaimed. He laughed a
little bit longer and then tried to suppress it, continuing, “You looked like
you were so deep in thought…like you were about to say something that would
change reality as we know it…and then you come out with ‘hi.’” He had given a
few more laughs while explaining himself, but now he seemed to have a handle on
it.
Reassured that his reputation was
not completely lost, Roxas started to laugh at how paranoid he had been. “You
weren’t much better yourself!” He told Sora.
At this, Sora placed one of his
hands on the back of his head and gave out a nervous little laugh. “To be
honest, my mother practically did the same thing to me as yours did to you. I
didn’t know anyone was moving into this house…but, it was either come talk with
you or she would have destroyed my PlayStation!”
Roxas brightened up at the mention
of videogames, but he decided to try and play it cool. “Sounds evil…just like
my mother. Why, I believe, my good man, that we have been set up!”
Sora just smiled at this comment.
Roxas figured that the boy didn’t really mind being tricked by his mother if it
meant he had a new friend. To be honest, Roxas didn’t really mind so much
either. Sora seemed like and okay guy, and he liked videogames, which was a
plus in Roxas’s book. Remembering that he was on a mission to be independent
from his parents and get his room painted, Roxas asked, “Hey, Sora? Do you know
of anyplace we can get some paint from around here? Like a hardware store or
something…”
Roxas could have sworn that Sora
smiled a little bit at this, but it was gone before he could be sure. “Yeah,
there’s one about four blocks from here!”
“Oh, well, care to walk with me? I
wanted to paint my room…” Roxas told the brown haired boy.
Sora seemed to consider his request
for a little bit saying, “Well, I don’t know…I am rather busy, you know…” and
then suddenly, “OKAY!” And Sora grabbed him by the arm and was practically
dragging Roxas along in his wake. While being tossed around as Sora ran with
him in tow, the brunette called over his shoulder, “Hey, you don’t mind if we
stop at someone’s house along the way, do you? It’s a friend of mine…”
Roxas didn’t really mind. The more
people he knew before getting to school on Monday, the more secure he felt. And
that only gave him today and tomorrow. “Nope! I don’t mind!” But, he regretted
saying that almost immediately because it seemed to only spur Sora onwards even
faster towards his friend’s house.
After about two blocks, they came
upon a house that, to be honest, looked just like every other house in the
neighborhood. However, there was a fairly nice, well-kept garden in front. It
so happened that a woman, Roxas presumed it was Sora’s friend’s mother, was
outside gardening in the front yard today. The woman looked up from underneath
her floppy hat as she heard the boys approach. Kind eyes and a warm smile
greeted the boys when she said, “Hi there, Sora! Who’s your friend?”
Sora was completely out of breath
and rather unable to respond, which was understandable since he had just
sprinted for two blocks. Roxas took it upon himself to answer for the winded
boy, “Hi, ma’am, my name’s Roxas. I just moved in next door to Sora.”
“Oh! I saw the moving trucks around
here earlier. It’s so nice to meet you. I’ll have to stop by and welcome your
parents to the neighborhood.” She wiped her brow with the back of her hand, the
hot sun having made her sweat. “I take it Sora came by looking for Zexion?”
At the mention of the name, Sora
nodded his head enthusiastically. His breath had become regular again, and he
could once more speak for himself. “Yeah, we stopped by on the way to the
store…”
The woman just chuckled to herself
and nodded her head. “Zexion’s upstairs, Sora,” she said, “feel free to go up
there.”
Sora started running again the
instant she said this. Roxas was amazed at all the energy that the brown haired
boy had. He just kind of shrugged at this Zexion person’s mother and followed
Sora into the house, although he walked instead of taking off at full speed.
Inside, it was a fairly nice house. Not too much different from what you would
expect of any other family’s house: couches, a television, pictures on the
walls, random little trinkets, a dining table. He followed Sora upstairs to
just see him bursting into someone’s room, even though the door was closed.
Roxas was startled by this invasion of privacy, but he figured that Sora knew
it was okay; otherwise he would not have done it. Roxas simply followed his
companion and was startled when he saw the inside of Zexion’s bedroom.
This Zexion was lying on top of a
bed, with black sheets and a black comforter strewn with stars, and on top of
Zexion was a very energetic brunette, their lips pressed together and little
noises escaping from the pair. Roxas was surprised to say the least, but he
thought that Zexion seemed even more surprised when she caught sight of him
standing there watching her and Sora. She sat up and pushed Sora off a little
bit. And that’s when a decidedly male voice said, “Who’re you?!?”
Zexion had sat up and Roxas could
see him a bit more clearly now. Although, he still may have mistaken him for
being a girl had he not heard the voice. The boy had silver hair, a bit long,
that swept over one eye, which, from what Roxas could see, was a light lilac.
He wore tight fitting, light-colored jeans, which clung to his legs and showed
how thin he was, and a sleeveless, black turtleneck shirt.
“Sorry,” Sora’s voice broke into his
mental inspection of Zexion, “I should have introduced you. Zexion, this is my
new neighbor Roxas,” he told the boy that was now next to him on the bed.
Looking back to Roxas he said, “This is my boyfriend, Zexion. He goes to school
with us too. He’s a junior though.”
Zexion seemed to calm down a bit.
But, the look of shock was apparently still evident on Roxas’s face as Sora,
with a look of concern, asked, “What’s wrong, Roxas? Are you okay?”
It wasn’t every day that Roxas
walked into a room and saw two people making out on top of a bed, and it was
even more infrequent that those two people were both boys. In fact, the more he
thought about it, he realized that this had never happened to him. He didn’t
really have a problem with Sora having a boyfriend; it was just a bit
surprising to him. He had never given any thought to other boys in that
respect. To be honest, he hadn’t given
girls much thought either. Dating just wasn’t a priority with him.
He realized that the two boys were
waiting for him to respond. “No, no, I’m just fine. I was just a bit surprised
is all,” he told them. He held out a hand to Zexion, “It’s nice to meet you…”
“Surprised?” Zexion asked, his one
visible, graceful eyebrow lifting slightly.
Roxas gave a nervous laugh and
replied, “Well, it’s not everyday that you meet someone with another person
lying on top of them in bed kissing them.”
Zexion smiled a little bit at
Roxas’s explanation. “True enough.” Now, he took his hand and shook it firmly.
“Hey, Zex,” Sora said, “Roxas needs
to go to the store and buy some paint for his new room. Wanna come with us?
Maybe we can get some food afterwards…?” At his last statement, he looked to
Roxas questioningly. After all, Roxas did just finish moving his boxes and
hadn’t even started unpacking. Sora didn’t know that exactly, but he assumed
that Roxas must be busy with things having just moved.
Roxas smiled, though, and said,
“Food sounds great to me!”
Zexion seemed okay at that point as
well since his stomach decided to growl loudly at exactly that moment. “I guess
my body’s answered for me,” he said.
They decided to get food first,
since Zexion seemed to be rather hungry, and then head to the hardware store.
It didn’t really make much of a difference since the store was in a plaza with
plenty of places to eat as well. On the way, Zexion seemed rather eager to know
everything about him. Well, eager wasn’t exactly the right word, as Zexion
seemed to be a rather sedate individual, but he was quite inquisitive and asked
Roxas a series of questions.
His first question, “What grade are
you in?”
Roxas recalled that Zexion was a
junior, but he had no idea what grade Sora was in, though he did know that Sora
went to school with them. “I’m a sophomore,” he said simply.
At this, Sora seemed to brighten up
even more, if that were possible. “I am too!” he exclaimed. “Maybe we’ll have a
class together!”
Somewhat hopeful at the prospect of
sharing one of his classes with someone he already knew, Roxas said, “That
would be great.” Simultaneously, he wondered if Sora always acted this hyper.
And, is so, what would he be like with sugar or caffeine? The idea was not a
comforting one, though it did make him grin.
“Okay, second question,” Zexion
began. “Ever had a girlfriend?”
Roxas thought that seemed like a
rather personal question, but it didn’t hurt to answer. “No, I’ve never had
one.”
Zexion smirked a little bit at this
revelation and then, in an almost knowing voice, asked, “What about a
boyfriend?”
“Never had one of those either,”
Roxas replied. He didn’t mind admitting the fact that he was quite
inexperienced when it came to dating. The fact that he had not dated anyone
before meant that he had more time to devote to his studies. It also gave him
time to do the things that he liked to do like play video games and such. At
his last school, everyone seemed to be rather disinterested in him, if they
noticed him at all, but he was actually rather thankful for that.
Zexion decided to stop dancing
around the subject and finally asked, “Well, then, are you straight? Or gay? Or
maybe bi?”
“I haven’t actually given it much
thought,” Roxas said honestly. “If I meet a girl I like, then I may try and do
something about it. But, if I meet a guy I like, then that’s fine too.”
“Why are you so interested all of a
sudden?” Sora suddenly interjected. “Not planning on leaving me for a sexy
blond, are you?”
Roxas blushed at the way Sora had
referred to him: a “sexy blond.” To his knowledge, no one had ever called him
sexy before. But, Zexion interrupted his reverie, “No way! Why would I ever
want to leave you?” And then he put an arm around Sora’s shoulders and pulled
him close, burying his face into Sora’s hair inhaling his scent, before he
leaned down a bit and placed a kiss on the brunette’s cheek. “But, you are
right about one thing,” he continued, “He is sexy. That’s why I asked those
questions. People at school are going to be interested. I was just curious as
to what his type might be is all.”
“Oh…” was all Sora could say.
Then Zexion leaned closer to Sora’s
ear and whispered, “And I thought he might be perfect for Demyx. But we’ll keep
that between ourselves, okay?”
Sora grinned at this statement, but
nodded his head. He would keep his boyfriend’s plans between them. Demyx had
been Zexion’s best friend since before he met Sora. They were in the same grade
and shared a couple of classes together. Sora thought that Demyx was a pretty
cool guy once you got to know him. However, both he and Zexion had noticed
lately that whenever they were together in front of Demyx, he seemed to act a
little strange. After discussing the matter, they had figured out that he must
be feeling pretty lonely and seeing the two of them together like that could
only be making it worse. After all, Demyx didn’t have many friends at school
aside from Zexion and Sora. And, Zexion happened to know that his friend
fancied boys. Maybe Roxas and Demyx were perfect for each other. It couldn’t
hurt to introduce them and see what happened.
Roxas simply dismissed their
whispering as something best left between lovers. They continued walking to the
plaza where the store was located, still talking along the way. Zexion and Sora
told Roxas how they met each other when, at the beginning of the previous year,
a freshman Sora accidentally tripped and practically threw all of his food on
his lunch tray in Zexion’s face. Sora commented that he was lucky that Zexion
had a sense of humor and hadn’t simply beaten him to a pulp. They had quickly
become friends after that. After hanging out for almost two months, they
finally became a couple. They had been in Sora’s room, Zexion reading a book
for school while Sora played videogames. Sora had been meaning to ask him about
something, but he hadn’t quite worked up the courage to do it until that point.
He decided he should just come right out and ask.
“Zexion?” Sora asked.
One light purple eye looked up from
the textbook. “Yeah, Sora?”
Sora fidgeted around nervously on
the floor before finally blurting it out as fast as possible.
“Whatdoesitfeelliketokisssomeone?”
“Huh?” Was all Zexion could say.
“Wait a minute, Sora, slow it down and say it again…”
Sora took a deep breath before he
said, “I said, what does it feel like to kiss someone?”
Then he looked up right into Zexion’s
one visible eye. Zexion wasn’t quite sure what to say. He had been kissed
before, so it wasn’t as if he couldn’t tell Sora, he just hadn’t been expecting
his friend to ask him such a question. “Why do you want to know?” He asked,
trying to stall for time before he had to answer.
Sora looked slightly embarrassed and
ashamed. “I was just wondering is all…” he said.
“Oh,” was all Zexion could come up
with. Well, that sufficiently put an end to his stalling. He considered how he
would answer the question. “It’s kind’ve hard to explain…and it’s different
with each person.”
Sora looked a bit disappointed with
Zexion’s answer. “Oh, well, that’s okay then,” he said. He just turned around
and started playing his game again.
Zexion felt bad for not being able
to answer him with more details other than “it’s different with each person.”
But, he couldn’t think of what else to say other than that. Then he had an
idea. He could kiss Sora. That would tell the boy everything he wanted to know.
But, he didn’t know how Sora would feel about kissing another boy. Zexion
hadn’t told him everything about his kissing experiences. He managed to leave
out the somewhat important detail that the only people he had ever kissed had
been boys, unless you counted his mother, but he was sure Sora hadn’t meant
that sort of kissing.
“Hey, Sora?” he asked. The brown
haired boy looked up from the now paused videogame. Suddenly, Zexion’s mouth
felt rather dry. “I…um…I could…that is–” and suddenly Sora was laughing at him.
“Just spit it out already!” he said
in between laughs.
Zexion gathered up his courage and
said, “I could show you.”
And then Sora looked confused. “Show
me what?”
At this, Zexion let out an
exasperated sigh. “I could show you what it’s like to be kissed, you simpleton!”
he said.
Sora looked a bit surprised at his
offer, but then he said, “You would do that? For me?”
Zexion gave little laugh and
replied, “Yes for you. I’d do anything for you…” Wait, had he just said that?
His friend smiled a little bit at
this, and Zexion could swear he could see a slight blush grace Sora’s cheeks.
He put his textbook down, marking the page so that he could find it once more,
and then patted a spot on the bed next to him, signaling to Sora to come sit up
on the bed with him. When Sora sat down next to him, he reached out a hand and
touched the brunette’s hair, letting his hand fall down to lightly brush his
cheek. He let his hand travel down to Sora’s chin, and grasping it lightly, he
titled Sora’s head back a bit, and leaned closer to the younger boy. He lightly
brushed his lips against Sora’s, reveling in their softness. He felt his friend
shudder under his touch, and he took that as a positive sign. He reached his
other hand around behind Sora to pull him closer and leaned down once more,
this time his lips pressing fully against Sora’s.
Sora felt warm and giddy all over as
Zexion’s lips pressed against his own. In fact, he felt like it was getting a
bit hot in his room. He could actually feel Zexion’s lips smiling against his
own, the hand on his back pulling him closer still until he didn’t think they
could be any closer unless they were fused into one person. Suddenly, he felt
something warm and wet slide against his lower lip, and when he gasped at the
contact, he felt it slip into his mouth. Realizing it was Zexion’s tongue, he
felt it begin to explore his mouth. But, Sora felt that almost as soon as it
began, it was over. Zexion was pulling away and he wasn’t sure what to say
except for, “Wow.”
“Yeah,” he heard Zexion whisper.
For a few days after the kiss, the
boys were awkward around each other. But, eventually, Zexion decided that it
was time for them to discuss what had happened. When had tried to talk to Sora
about it, he found that the boy had wanted to do something about it as well.
But, Sora’s solution was a bit more radical than Zexion’s idea of talking.
Zexion had been pinned underneath the brown haired bundle of energy and he
found himself on the receiving end of another one of those mind-blowing kisses.
While reminiscing and telling Roxas
their story, they had all been so caught up in it that they hadn’t realized
that they had arrived at their destination. Now came the problem of where to
eat. Roxas was surprised by the variety of choices. Cho’s Chinese Deli sounded quite
good, but so did Sophia’s Italian Pizzeria. There was also a place that
appeared to sell gyros, some kind of restaurant specializing in various soups,
and, of course, the obligatory burger joint.
“Where would you like to go, Roxas?”
Sora asked, leaning forward slightly to be seen as he was standing on the other
side of Zexion from the blond.
“Er…” Roxas began. He really didn’t
know. After all, these places were all quite new to him. He did have food
preferences and all, but he wasn’t going to close himself off from trying
something new. And besides, he didn’t know the quality of each restaurant. He
decided to absolve himself of the responsibility of making a decision. “Well,
Zexion’s the one who’s really hungry. Why don’t we let him decide?”
Roxas didn’t see the scheming smirk
that crossed Zexion’s face. “Okay, well, then my vote is for pizza! How does
that sound?”
At Zexion’s suggestion, both boys
agreed and they all entered the restaurant. After being seated, they took some
time to look through the menus they had been given. Sora and Zexion mostly
looked through the menu as a formality since they were leaving the final
decision up to Roxas. Some time passed, and a waiter eventually wandered over
to take their order. However, he was like no one Roxas had ever seen before.
“Hey guys, what can I get for ya?”
He asked. The man had dirty blond hair that was styled into a tall mohawk,
blue-green eyes that seemed to sparkle, and a warm smile. When Roxas looked a
bit closer, he could see that he also had two thin, silver hoops in each ear.
He was staring at the waiter so
intensely that he nearly did not catch it when Sora said, “Hey, there, Demyx!
We’re leaving the ordering to our new friend here.”
Roxas blinked, coming out of his
reverie, and looked down at the menu in his hands. “Uh…” was all that seemed to
come out.
