Chapter 27: “A Day with New Friends”


After the Storms first day of school, we all pretty much became friends. It was really easy to do that too… Turns out they’re nothing like Hojo. The rest of the school week went by like a blur… Before I knew it, it was Saturday morning… All of us got together on IM last night and decided to show the new guys around the town, so we would be walking to Axel’s at noon, it was now 9:30. I went downstairs to find some food…


When I reached the kitchen Cloud was looking in the fridge. “Roxas, where’s the eggs?” Cloud asked without moving from the fridge. I have known Cloud all of my life and I still don’t know how he can do that… “Um… I think we finished those off yesterday.” I answered sitting at the table. As Cloud closed the fridge Leon came in with his hair still wet. “Morning Roxas, morning again Cloudy.” Leon said before shaking his head splashing both me and Cloud with his damp hair. “I swear Leon sometimes I think you’re the 16 year old here not the twins!” Cloud said grabbing a dish towel. Leon just laughed and sat down next to me. As he sat down I kicked him playfully letting him know I was cool with the whole water thing. Leon just smiled at me before messing up my hair. Since I talked to Sora and Axel I seemed to act normal around Cloud and Leon, thank goodness!

“Why didn’t you wake Sora?” Cloud asked changing his plains on breakfast by grabbing the waffles from the fridge. “He told me to wake him up at 10:30, we have a big day today showing the new guys the town.” I answered. “Oh okay, don’t forget to show them the beach.” Cloud responded. “It’s September Cloud.” Leon stated. “I know that, Squall! I’m not telling them to swim, its just a nice place to just go to.” Cloud said throwing a frozen waffle at Leon when he said Squall. I snickered, receiving a death glare from Leon before he winked, letting me know he wasn’t really mad…


Breakfast went on like that until my cell-phone alarm went off with ‘This Afternoon by Nickleback’ playing to let me know it was now 10:30. “Time to get Sora up.” I said turning off my cell alarm. I got to Sora’s room in no time. When I walked into Sora’s room he was tightly wrapped in his sheet with his mouth wide open snoring like a banshee. I stopped myself from laughing as I walked over to his bed. Just as I was going to shake him awake he started talking in his sleep. ‘hmm… Riku… I love your eyes.’ I smiled before gently shaking him awake. “Uh…wha?..” Sora said rubbing his eyes. “It’s 10:30 Sora, wake up or you’ll miss Riku’s eyes…” I said in a teasing tone. “Oh shut up Rox!” Sora said getting out of bed. “you got out of bed pretty fast.” I said with a smile. Sora blushed and threw his night shirt in my face as he walked in and closed the bathroom door. I smiled and walked to my room to call Axel and tell him what just happened… Axel will love this!

“Oh yeah, hes dreaming of him…” I said as I finished the story to Axel. ‘Ha-ha! Man I’m going to have fun with this one!’ Axel said over the phone-line. “Okay but not around anyone okay. Use it like you use the whole Zexion use to watch Rugrats thing…” I said quietly as I heard Sora walking downstairs… ‘Okay, okay angel…’ Axel said. “Well I should get off the phone now, Sora just went downstairs, love ya pyrro!” I said. “ Love you two babe, see you soon, bye.” Axel said back before hanging up. I closed my cell-phone and got out of my desk chair before going downstairs and back into the kitchen. When I came back into the kitchen there was Sora spraying whip-cream on top of his waffles. We might be twins but we don’t always eat the same, yuck!(authors note: Courtney eats her waffles that way. I think it’s nauseating.)

Once Sora was done stuffing his face it was 11:30. “About time, want to go to Axel’s a little early?” I asked. “Nah! You can go ahead though. I’m completely capable of walking to Axel’s by myself Rox.” Sora stated. “Okay, if you say so.” I said standing up. Sora nodded that he was sure and so I turned to leave. “Hey!” Cloud said. I turned around to see Cloud with his hands out. I smiled and walked up to Cloud. Cloud hugged me. “You know I love you guys so much, right?” Cloud asked. “We know Cloud, you tell us every Saturday…” I answered. Cloud has always hugged and told us how much he loves us on Saturday’s every since that Saturday so long ago when mom and dad died… It’s his way of making sure we always know his love, even though he doesn’t like to show his emotions in public so much. It’s just Cloud’s way…

After finally getting out of Cloud’s bear-hug and walking to Axel’s it was now11:42. Yuffie answered the door. “Hey Rox! No So?” Yuffie greeted then asked letting me in. “Hi Yuffie, he’ll be here by noon.” I answered. “Oh cool. I spent the night, actually I need to talk to you.” Yuffie said before grabbing me and running to Kairi’s room. God so much pink! “Okay, Kairi is down in the basement with her brothers, I need to ask you something.” Yuffie said closing the door. “Sure, what is it?” I asked. “Well last night Kairi seemed to want to say something to me but kept changing her mind. Do you have any idea of what it is? You know since she tells Sora everything and you’re his twin.” Yuffie asked pacing around.


“Well I do know one thing but I shouldn’t say what it is.” I answered. “Oh come on Roxas, I won’t let her know.” Yuffie said on her knees in front of me. “This goes against everything I stand for but I’ll spill… Yuffie Kairi cam out of the closet, she’s bisexual.” I answered. Yuffie’s eyes got big and she seemed to be thinking. “It makes since now… Last night, she kept saying she had something important to ask me… Roxas does Kairi, love me?…” Yuffie asked. I closed my eyes and nodded. When I opened my eyes it was to Yuffie smiling. “Looks like I need to make the first move, huh. Yes Roxy I’m in love with Kairi, I have been for years.” Yuffie explained. I smiled and gave Yuffie a hug.


By the time me and Yuffie went downstairs the bell rang again and so we answered it. It was Sora. In an instant Sora knew what I knew. Sometimes I really hate our mind-reading capacity. “Oh Kairi will be so pissed at you Roxas, but extremely happy when you ask her out Yuf.” Sora said, at the end hugging Yuffie. After Sora let go of Yuffie Axel came upstairs… “There you two are! Everyone else, except the new guys are in the basement, come on we need to decide what we’re going to show them” Axel said before going back downstairs. “Man when did Axel want to prepare for something?” Sora asked. “Guess hes been hanging around Saix to much lately…” Yuffie commented. “I don’t think it’s a bad thing. it’s a good trait to have…” I responded before heading downstairs… Yuffie and Sora wasn’t too far behind me as I was going down the stairs

“Okay now that everyone is here, where should we go first?” Axel asked. “The docks?” Demyx asked. “That’s good, then we could go to the park next to it.” Marluxia commented. “We could show them the beach?” Kairi asked. “Man Kairi you and Cloud think alike…” I responded with a light chuckle. “How about the hidden caves at the beach too?” Sora asked. “Yeah that’s a good idea! And we could show them the old hideouts too!” Yuffie responded, excitedly. “Jet’s not forget the town itself guys.” Vexen said. “Yeah we can show them the Kurosaki’s restaurant ‘Soul Reaper Town’”. Larxene suggested. “that’s a good plan, we can even finish off the day with eating at the restaurant. Okay with that said lets go surprise the Storms!” Axel said being the first going upstairs…
