Chapter Nine

Warning: All the same as before, no ownage, no cash, but wanting to.

Neither Riku nor I ended up winning that bet, but lucky for all of us, Roxy and Axel stopped arguing after only another couple of minutes, my brother’s hunger winning over the want to argue. But it didn’t stop the seven of us from hanging out and enjoying our time together.

“So, do you guys have that twin psychosis thing or whatever it is? Like intensely?” Axel asks, leaning back in his chair, his eyes not leaving my twin’s face. Interesting…I don’t think that Roxy or I are going to be getting much sleep tonight. There is just too much to talk about. I guess it’s a good thing that we had that nap earlier then.

“You mean telepathy, Axel. The only one here with psychosis is you.” Riku groans, leaning forward as he takes another bite of the salad that he is still working on.

“The hell? Is it national pick on Axel day?” the redhead questions rhetorically.

“Sure is. You must have missed the fluorescent memo that went around last week advertizing the grand street parade.” Demyx smiles before dodging the napkin that comes flying towards him.

“Just answer the question.” Insists Axel, completely ignoring his other two friends and the giggling girls across the table.

I look over at Roxy and we shrug at the same time. “Yeah, we share sensations, feelings emotions, pain, dreams, and all that fun stuff.” I answer before Roxas picks up and continues where I left off.

“I wake up sometimes from a dead sleep because Sora is having a nightmare and things like that. And when Sora had those panic attacks yesterday, they sent me into asthma attacks.”

“I wish I had a twin. It sounds awesome.” Demyx says is a wistful voice, a grin covering his face.

“Emotions and stuff, huh? So, Sora, could you tell when Roxas is jerking off, or being fucked, or visa versa?” Axel’s comment isn’t completely unexpected, but when he says it out loud, it causes both of us to blush.

“No comment.” We answer in unison and I try to bury my face in my arms, ignoring the chicken still on my plate for a moment. Riku bursts out into loud laughter at our answer, Demyx and Axel joining in.

“I don’t know which is worse. Axel actually asking the question…” Kairi begins, but I notice that she isn’t smiling or laughing.

“Or Sora and Roxas’ response.” Naminé has a shit eating grin on her face, while Kairi kind of sounds disgusted. Great. I’ve only been here a couple of days and I already seem to have turned people against me.

“Go and fuck a duck, Kairi. Just because you have a nasty habit of falling for guys who like to suck cock doesn’t give you the right to berate us and turn your nose up at us.” Axel glares at his fellow redhead, a scandalized look coming to the surface of Kairi’s face.

“I don’t need to take this from you, Axel. Come on, Nami, we’re leaving now.” Kairi shoots Axel with a million sharp daggers with the glare that she is sending his way, yet he doesn’t even seem to notice.

But the look on Naminé’s face is the one that surprises me the most.

“Um, I think that I am going to hang out here for a little while longer. I’ll be there in a bit.” The blonde’s face is meek, and to me it seems that standing up to her sister isn’t something that Naminé does very often. And judging by the shocked look plaster over Kairi’s features, I assume that I am right. Suddenly I feel Roxas’ hand on my arm, and instantly I grab his hand and our fingers wrap around one another with a tight squeeze. What would it be like if Roxy and I were like that? It’s a thought that I don’t even want to entertain.

“Fine.” Is all that leaves Kairi’s mouth, before she violently pushes away from the table, effectively spilling two glasses of water in the process and wheeling herself out the door without a single glance back.

Naminé just lets out a sigh, shaking her head at her sister’s actions. “I’m sorry about her, guys.”

“Don’t be sorry, Naminé. You might be twins, but you can’t control how she acts.” Roxas finally speaks up and we place our clasped hands on the table.

“Because no matter how close your souls are entwined, you are two completely different people.” I continue where my twin leaves off. But as soon as I finish, I am greeted with surprised stares from everyone except my brother. “What? Did I say something wrong?” I question.

“It’s just that no one has ever said something like that.” Naminé whispers, looking down at her lap.

“It was so beautiful! You can totally feel the love that you two share.” Demyx grins, a sound that is way too much like a squeal lacing his voice.

“I think that you just completely out gayed yourself there, Dem.” Axel groans, earning a laugh from everyone except Demyx, who just sticks out his tongue.

“You two sound like you’ve gone through something like this too.” Naminé finally looks up from her lap, resting her elbows on the table before placing her chin in her hands.

“All the time.” We answer in unison.

“But the two of you seem to be so much alike.” Insists Demyx, looking back and forth between the two of us.

“Just because we’re alike doesn’t mean we aren’t different too. Some people don’t understand that we are Sora and Roxas, not just the Strife twins.” I shrug, Roxas nodding in agreement.

“We get that all the time.” Naminé agrees with us.

“Dude, I didn’t realize that being a twin was that different. I always thought that it would be just like having a brother or sister just like you.” Axel comments, leaning back in his chair. “I mean, everyone at school knew me as Reno’s brother, but I suppose it isn’t quite the same as always being treated like you are one person.”

“I get the same with Seph.” Riku puts in his two cents, but for some reason I notice that he is being oddly quiet tonight.

“But the thing is, is that Kairi and I haven’t been this close for years. We’re part of two completely different social circles. She’s a cheerleader, and I am a nerdy art geek. These past two months here have been great getting to know her again, and it’s like were back in middle school, being best friends and not worrying about social standings. I feel guilty for enjoying it this much.” The blonde lets out a sigh, and all of a sudden, my heart goes out to her. “I’m afraid in a couple of months it will go right back to like it was before.” We all sit in silence at Naminé’s thoughts, and once again all I can think is that I am so glad that Roxas and I are not in the same boat as Kairi and Naminé.

“Dude, the mood in here is way too serious. We’ve got to lighten up before they start slipping Prozac in all of our food.” Demyx comments, breaking the silence after a few awkward minutes.

“So, Naminé, what kind of art do you do?” Roxy speaks up, and we break our hold on each others hand as I take a large bite of my food, content in just listening to the conversation for now. But no matter what is going on around me, I find eyes constantly drifting towards to the guy to my right. Once more I am glad that he can’t see me staring at him. However, my blond clone to my left doesn’t need eyes to know what I am up to. And the odd poke at my side lets me know when I’ve been staring too long. But the events of the last day are still fresh in my mind, and are running through it at break neck speed. Especially what just happened out in the hall. His mouth and breath so close to my ear had felt so good, and seeing as he had been the one to initiate all of it, it made me feel better. But that also brings to mind where exactly this might go.

“Sora? Where are you?” Demyx breaks me out of my thoughts as he begins to poke my arm, reaching around the object of my obsession.

“Huh?” I question intelligently, earning laughter from everyone at the table besides me. And of course, the redhead next to my brother is laughing the hardest.

“So, Roxas. Why don’t you put that twin mind reading thing to good use and tell us what Sora there was so lost in thought about.” The grin on his face is as malicious as ever, and his next comment isn’t exactly unexpected. “He was thinking about me naked, wasn’t he?”

But then Roxy’s reply startles me more than it should. “Sure was. And dude, you have one tiny penis. How do you find it? With a pair of tweezers? Or are those too big to hold it with?” he holds up his good hand, imitating a small space with his thumb and forefinger. His response earns a huge bout of giggles from Demyx and Naminé, loud laughter from Riku, and snickers from me. Axel’s is the best though. He just starts to blush furiously.

“Riku! Riku! Axel’s cheeks match his hair! I’ve never seen him turn so red!” Demyx squeaks, pointing across the table at his friend.

“Thank you, Sora, for shedding light on the situation. The truth comes out.” Riku smirks, leaning back in his chair. I think that he enjoys seeing Axel be picked on, because it means that Axel isn’t picking on someone else. And even with as much as they argue, I think that Riku and Axel are really close.

“Mmm…cum. Yummy.” Axel forgets his embarrassment and looks up at the ceiling with a smile on his face. I turn bright red at the comment, as does Demyx, and Roxy and Riku start to laugh even harder, tears forming at the corners of their eyes. But Naminé’s reaction is the best of all. She just finished taking a sip of her water, and at Axel’s comment, the liquid goes shooting out of her mouth and across the table, hitting Axel square in the face with the spray.

“Gay boys are so awesome to be around.” She laughs, wiping her mouth with a napkin. We all burst into louder laughter at Axel’s expense, including Axel himself, and to me, everything seems to be perfect. I have Roxy, friends and hope.

“Nam, you are so much different when Kairi isn’t around.” Demyx smiles, handing Axel a pile of napkins.

“It’s like Sora and Roxas said, we are two different people. But when we are together, it’s like we are one person.” She just shrugs and gives us a smile before placing her hands down onto the wheels of her wheelchair. “Anyway, I think that I should go make sure that she is okay. Now that she has discovered that every guy here that she has dubbed eye candy prefers other boys to her, she will be all mopey and stuff. Before she trashes our room, I better go and save my stuff.” Naminé just waves before backing away from the table and across the room.

“Good night, Naminé.” We all call in various forms as we return her wave and watch her head out of the room.

“Why does everyone assume that I am gay?” Riku questions, pouting as he crosses his arms in front of himself.

“You mean you’re not?” Roxas asks, and I actually think that my twin is being serious with his question.

“Roxas is right, Riku. You do kind of come off as a little…flamboyant. The sliver hair, the mystique, you know. Not to mention the fact that you sort of look like a chick.” Axel smirks, and Riku just flips him the bird.

“Still, gay? Why don’t I at least get bi? Because you know, if I ever find someone I like, it might be a girl. It could happen.” Riku argues.

I just scoff and speak without thinking. “Sure thing, Riku. Whatever you say. Can I claim the same thing? I mean, it’s not like I’m going to freak out around girls all my life, right?”

This causes Roxy to laugh louder, and Demyx and Axel just look over at me with strange looks.

“Oh, Sora has a small issue with girls. He’s gynophobic. He won’t freak out if there is another guy around, but can you help with making sure that Kairi and Naminé aren’t left alone with him?” Roxas tells them, and I nod in agreement. We get quick agreement from both Demyx and Axel, before Demyx makes a comment.

“That’s awesome! I wish that would happen to me! Where I went to high school, all the girls decided that I needed to be their token gay friend. And do you know how hard it is to meet guys when you have this huge gaggle of girls following you everywhere?” Demyx laughs rhetorically.

“But you have Zexion now, right? So does it really matter?” I look at him as he gets a dreamy smile on his face.

“Going, going…gone.” Axel chuckles as he waves a hand in front of Demyx’s face, getting no reaction in response.

All of a sudden, I feel a yawn building up inside, and as let it out, it causes all of the other to look at me and laugh.

“All you have done is sleep for the past two days and you are still sleepy?” Roxy laughs at me as I lean over and rest my head on his shoulder.

“But Roxy, I haven’t slept well for two nights. You are here now, so please?” I whine, tugging at his arm. I really am not that tired, but after eating and everything with Riku and Kairi going on here tonight, I just want to go back to our room and talk about boys with Roxas. That, and I know that I probably stink, and honestly, I really want a bath, a proper one, and Roxas can help me with that.

“He is a whiner, isn’t he?” Axel groans as I start to nuzzle my face into Roxas’ shoulder. I’m allowed to be clingy sometimes, and I am totally redeeming one of those times right now.

“Like you wouldn’t believe.” Roxas smirks and I reach a hand up and begin to rub small circles between his shoulder blades, a place I know is a weak spot of his, in hopes that I can tempt him to come with me sooner.

“Hey!” I whine. “Please, Roxy?” I decide to give everyone my best whine so that they will want Roxas to take me back to our room.

“I think the dogs down the road were the only ones who could hear that one.” Axel groans, massaging his forehead with a gloved hand.

“You’re not the one with the oversensitive hearing.” Riku does a mock glare towards me, but I can see a small smile playing on his lips and in his sightless eyes, and the sight makes me feel good in places I didn’t know I still had sensation in.

“And neither one of you have had to deal with him every day for the past 16 years with no end in sight.” Roxy rolls his eyes and I just squeeze his arm tighter, a grin plastered on my face. A small noise across the table causes all of us to turn our heads.

Demyx is turning a bright red, his hands clamped over his mouth as his shoulders shake with silent laughter. And I can see tear tracks running down from each of his wide eyes.

“Is he going to be okay?” I ask, refusing to let go of my twin, knowing that he can’t push me off of him because I have his good arm. And I don’t plan to let go anytime soon unless he takes me back to the room.

“He’s going to pop!” Axel exclaims, before ducking under the table.

“Stop being such a fucking drama queen, Axel.” Riku grumbles, leaning his head on his hand, propped up on his elbow. And that gives me a much better angle to look at him and ogle him. Yummy. “What’s up, Dem?”

“You four are so funny to watch and listen to!” he wheezes, pointing at the rest of us. “It’s like watching two married couple at a family reunion.” He chokes out between laughs.

“I better not be with Riku.” Axel sneers as Riku growls out “I better not be with Axel.” The comments cause Roxy and I to burst into giggles, Demyx’s wheezes across the table fuelling our own.

We finally calm down, and after checking to make sure that Roxas hasn’t sent himself into an asthma attack, we look at each other with identical smirks.

“Why not? It’d be so hot.” We tell them at the same time, sending Demyx into a fresh set of giggles and earning a scandalized look from each of the boys in question.

“No fucking chance.” Axel’s response is instantaneous.

“Not on your life.” The words leave Riku’s lips with just as much maliciousness.

“They’re right. They are both so obviously tops that I think there would be blood shed before either of them would spread their legs. But then again, watching that could be hot.” Demyx giggles, clasping his hands over his mouth as soon as he’s finished speaking, seeing the glares turning from us to rest on only him. We all laugh it out for another few minutes, even Riku and Axel joining in after only a few seconds, finally seeing the hilarity of the situation.

Eventually the laughter dies down once more, and with my head still on Roxy’s shoulder, it is easy to tell that his breathing is a little more laboured, and shallower than normal. And I can almost guarantee that because it’s not in my pocket, he left his inhaler back at the room.

“Roxy…” I trail off before yawning deeply, the tiredness that had disappeared during the goofing off coming back to hit me with double the force of before.

“I’m going to take Sora back before he starts whining again, alright? It was great meeting everyone and we will see you all in the morning.” Roxas pulls his shoulder from beneath my head, standing up with a grace that I am only a little jealous of.

“Okay. We’ll see you tomorrow then, guys. And it’s finally the weekend, so no torture sessions!” Axel grins, stretching his arms high above his head, and almost creepy smile plastered on his face.

“What time does breakfast start?” I ask as I back myself out of my spot, Roxas standing next to me. “I haven’t made it to a single breakfast yet.”

“On weekends, we usually meet here around 10. They’ll feed us until 11, and I refuse to even think about moving before 9:30.” Riku lets us know with a smile as Roxas begins to awkwardly push my chair across the room.

“Okay. We’ll see everyone then. Goodnight!” I smile, waving at the three of them, Roxas adding his own goodnight.

“Don’t forget to dream of me naked!” Axel calls out as I push the door open for me and Roxy.

“Are you trying to give us nightmares?” Roxas retorts as we hear Riku and Demyx burst out laughing and Axel lets out an indistinguishable grumble as the door swings close behind us. We make our way slowly sown the hall in silence before Roxas speaks up.

“So, I guess that Riku really likes you.” I don’t have to look back to know that there is a smirk plastered on his face.

“W..wh...What do you mean?” I stutter, feeling the blush rising on my cheeks.

“Come on, Sor. The hall? He was in a pissed off mood when he went out, and when he came back after you went out after him he was like glowing. But I have to say, he is hot.” Roxas leans down and rests his head on my shoulder, effectively stopping our trip to our room.

“Hey! He’s been flirting with me, so you can back off.” I laugh, reaching up and ruffling his hair. “Besides, you and Axel seem to be hitting it off.”

I feel the smirk next to my cheek morph into a real smile. “He’s hot too.” His good arm reaches up and wraps around my chest in a tight hug. “I missed you, Sora.”

“I missed you too, Roxy.” I smile. “But you do realize that it’s only been a couple of days.”

He just laughs and I can’t help but realize how little we have done this over the past couple of months. “Yeah, but we’ve been through so much lately, every once in a while, I think we just need to remind ourselves.” My thoughts are verbally confirmed by my twin and know that it is still like this between us earns a wider smile from me. And just like that, a comfortable silence falls over us.

“So, do you think that we have a chance with Axel and Riku?” I question, breaking the silence after only a few moments.

Standing upright once more, Roxas lets out a chuckle. “A chance? Sora, you have Riku all but begging right now. He’s completely smitten with you.” With the statement, we start moving forward once more.

“Really?” I ask, knowing that he would never lie to me, or lead me on, but for some reason, I want to hear his thoughts on this.

“Of course. Trust me; he’s only got eyes for you right now. And I doubt he will change overnight. Riku doesn’t seem to be one to love them and leave them. Besides, if his had was resting any higher up on your thigh, I was going to start charging him.” At my brother’s statement, I blush quickly, but it only causes Roxy to laugh harder as he tries to push me down the hall and I can hear the wheezing in his breathes become more prominent, but they are not that serious yet.

But all of a sudden, exactly what Roxas had said to me crashes into me with the force of a hurricane. “Hand? Thigh? What do you mean?” I ask, trying to keep my own breathing under control. This is all news to me. When did he have his hand on my leg? Damn it!

“All during dinner. As I said, it was inching its way higher and higher on your leg. But don’t worry, I made sure that it didn’t go too far. I figured that you would at least want to be able to feel it the first time that you got felt up by another guy.” Damn it. As much as I am glad that Roxas is becoming more and more like his old self, it’s times like this that I remember that Roxy could probably give Axel a run for him money on the pervert scale. Except that Roxas only ever says these types of things to me. I guess that’s why I figure they would make such a good couple.

I blush a deep shade of scarlet as my hand unconsciously begins to rub the spot on my black shorts where Riku’s hand had supposedly been only a few minutes ago. I don’t notice us come to a full stop once more until Roxas is standing right in front of me, with that smirk still plastered on his mouth.

“You like him back just as much.” He grins. “And you are disappointed that he didn’t kiss you out in the hall, aren’t you?” the stain on my cheeks only deepens at his words, and I try to advert my eyes, but Roxas’ hand on my cheeks prevents that. And all I can think id that I am totally the good twin. I would never put my brother through this form of agonizing torture no matter what.

“So?” I pout, earning another round of laughter from Roxy as he stands up and pushes open the door we are stopped in front of, our room evidently.

“So? So, I’m happy for you. You’ve dealt with my messy boyfriends and shit, it’s about damn time that you found a guy that you like.” He smiles gently and I can’t help but return the smile, extremely happy that I have my twin back.

Almost at 10 chapters! That is strange…I’ve never written something this long before, and I really am excited for the next chapter to be chapter 10! But I hope that everyone enjoyed this one. I love writing the interaction between the five guys, it’s so fun! And I have bigger plans for Naminé, so hopefully I can flesh those out over the next couple of chapters. I do have a question for everyone though. Do you want me to keep Kairi as a bitch, or do we want her to come around and be a friendly person? I’m going to leave that up to everyone reading this! Just cast your votes in your review, pm me or email me, and I am going to try and get a poll on my profile with the options.

The normal shout out to my twin for this one, with the extra sprinkles for being the inspiration I need most days!

As for the next chapter, I can’t promise when it will be out, as I have family coming to visit that I haven’t seen in 17 years, and I am kinda excited (wait, make that REALLY excited) so I won’t have a lot of spare time to write over the next two week, but I will try my hardest. And if you want to, be sure to check out my AkuDemy oneshot I wrote for Schizzar, Drowning In Flames! I hope everyone is still enjoying this, and thanks for all the reviews, pm’s, and fav’s, makes me feel happy to see all those! Until next time!
