There was an awkward silence only broken by the chatter of the other dancers. Sora hastily pulled up his g-string, forgetting about the fishnets, his expression was just as sheepish as his cousin's.

“Hi?” He uttered in embarrassment.

“Hi.” The brunette could tell that Riku was uncomfortable. It dawned on his after a while. When the hell was he doing here? Never being one to think before he spoke, Sora voiced his inquiry.

“What the hell are you doing here?” It wasn't said in a rude tone of voice, more like a three year old asking why the sky was blue.

Riku paused. Wondering if he should give Roxas away, but then again, the blonde was between Sora legs a short while ago.

“Roxas suggest I should.” He said nonchalantly.

Sora looked questioningly over at his cousin. “Why?”

Roxas shrugged, glaring at Riku slightly. “I thought he might want to meet you.” He said. It was technically the truth.

“Oh…” He looked back at Riku and grinned. “Thanks for the tips!” He felt it was the right thing to say.

Riku could only blush. “Erm yeah…”

Roxas sighed. This would take a while…

 

The next morning Sora awoke exhausted, slightly nauseated and confused. Exhausted because the three had stayed up until past three that night, ordering drink after drink at the bar of the club, nauseated because of said drinking, and confused because after the fifth wine cooler he had no idea what the hell happened. He looked about, all seemed in order, he was in his room. Glancing around once more he noticed he had been changed out of his `night' clothes, and there was no one lying next to him. He supposed he should thank his cousin for being decent. And Riku for not…acting as he did while he danced. It made Sora blush slightly.

Though what did confuse him was why Roxas would think of inviting Riku backstage… Shoving that thought aside he stood. His cousin would be waiting for him.

 

Roxas sat at the campus café, waiting. Sora should have been up ages ago. He glanced at his watch. It read ten thirty AM. And where was Axel? Not that the blonde cared but it was out of character for him not to be `glomped' by the tall thin man. Perhaps he had a thesis to finish or something. He sighed and slumped back in his chair. Looking about he hoped to find a familiar head. There was no way he'd just sit there looking miserable. The first head he spotted was silver; it glinted in the early morning sun. Ambling over with his folders hugged close to his chest he smiled at Riku and his companion.

“Hi.”

Riku raised an eyebrow. “Roxas…”

 

He was astonished that Roxas would dare come over to him. He thought that at least he radiated dislike for the blonde. However clueless Roxas just sat in the empty chair, still hugging his folders close.

“Sora hasn't woken up yet…and I got lonely.” He said simply.

Riku wondered if the blonde thought they were friends. He looked up a Cloud who was stifling a laugh behind his hand. Like a dutiful best friend, Riku had told him everything, minus the jealousy of course, that was evident without say.

Cloud coughed. “So…you're Roxas, eh?”

The boy nodded. “Mmhm. You are?”

“Cloud.”

“You look like a chocobo.”

Riku snorted into his coffee.

Cloud gave him a strange stare. “A what?”

Roxas grinned. “It's a rare species of bird.”

Riku's coffee came spilling out of his mouth all over Cloud's ivory shirt. He cast a stare of serious distaste and contempt. “Bitch.” He muttered.

A second later they heard the bell of the front door jingle. Automatically the shorter blonde looked up, spotting his cousin before standing and waving him over, of course behind him trailed a different brunette, taller, more masculine and slightly more intimidating.

 

Sora made a mad dash for his cousin.

“What did I do last night!?” He shook Roxas for all he was worth.

“You fucked Riku against the counter?” He offered.

Riku's face paled as Cloud returned the favor of soaking Riku's shirt.

“I did what!?”

Roxas snickered. “You did nothing, retard.”

Sora looked affronted. “You're the worst cousin ever.” He took his rightful place on Roxas's lap, looking up at Leon as he sat, somewhat awkwardly in the chair next to Cloud.

“So…where's Axel?”

Roxas shrugged. “Dunno, dun care, thank god.” He would never admit that it was starting to bother him. But who cared? He'd see him in Music Theory.

Eventually their lovely dysfunctional group dispersed, each heading in a different direction.

 

Somewhere along the way Roxas could have sworn he saw a flash of bright red. Who else but Axel had such hair color? He was tempted to chase after it, but instead he chastised himself mentally and pushed forward to his first period with renewed vigor. What the hell did he care about Axel? He was clingy, annoying…good company, but that was beside the point! As he took his seat he couldn't help but ponder though: Was Axel mad at him? Suddenly third period seemed so far away.

 

It took Sora a while to realize that Riku had his second period class. As he ambled through the door his first instinct was to search of Leon, who was apparently not present yet. Instead he laid his eyes on Riku who had his head down cast. He bounced over.

“'Sup!”

Riku looked up, his cheeks tinted pink. Hmm, wonder why? He had a small smile. “Hello Sora.” The brunette grinned as he began to prepare for his god-awful class, his eyes were still fixed on the door when realized that Leon had decided to skip out on the class. He sighed dejectedly and turned his attention to Riku.

“Soo…you're gay?” The question was spoken so softly Riku was scarce he heard him.

“What?”

“Are you gay? You're at the bar a lot…”

Riku snorted. “No…I have-had,” He corrected, “a girlfriend.”

Sora quietly giggled. “Doesn't mean you can't be attracted to boys.”

Riku shook his head. “I'm not. Not in the slightest.”

With a mischievous look he set his hand on Riku's thigh. “Your body tells me otherwise.” He whispered in the older boy's ear.

 

Riku froze. Was Sora always this friendly? His face flushed bright pink.

“Y-you're crazy…” He stuttered.

Sora's chuckle sent shivers down his spine. They were in class goddamn it!

“No, I'm not…” his hand trailed closer to the front of his pants. “You moan…I can hear you…” nimble finger caressed his clothed manhood softly. His breath hitched.

Sora pulled away. “Why don't you admit it?”

Riku looked to the side. “I'm not. There's nothing to admit.”

Sora chuckled. “I'll make you admit it then.”

The silver haired boy had the sense of impending doom.

 

There was only one reason as to why Roxas moved so quickly towards Music Theory, telling himself over and over he was only curious as to why Axel was avoiding him like the plague. He paused at the door after double checking if the red head was already inside.

“Hey! Axel!”

The red head paused. “Eh, Roxas,” He put on a half-hearted grin. “Hey…”

Roxas tilted his head cutely. “What's wrong?”

Axel shook his head as he made his way inside, the shorter blonde tailing behind him. “It's nothing, kid.”

Roxas paused. Kid!? Axel hadn't called him that since the first day they had met! He glared.

“Axel I told you not to call me that.”

The red head shrugged as he moved towards the back of the class. “Sorry.” It was said so carelessly. Roxas hadn't a doubt that Axel was indeed infuriated with him

“Axel…”

“Roxas I'm gonna sit over there with Saix…why don't you go to the front you know you can't see without glasses…”

He blonde paused in mid step. “Erm, yeah…” He was confused, angry. Mainly at himself for following Axel around like a fucking lost puppy. Defiantly he sat down at the very center of the first row, fuming. Every now and then he would look up at Axel, hoping the red head wouldn't catch his gaze. What had he done wrong!?

And yet, despite all his mental chiding, he refused to back down after the class was over, chasing once again after this irritating red head.

“Axel what the fuck!?”

“What the fuck, what?”

“Why the hell are you pissed off at me?”

Axel raised an eyebrow. “What makes you think that?”

“The fact that you're avoiding me like I'm fucking death!” Roxas fumed, his breath was picking up. Sora had always said he needed anger management classes.

Axel chuckled. “You're crazy kid.” He continued walking.

Roxas growled briskly followed the other. “You never call me kid anymore; you're pissed off at me.”

Axel just looked straight ahead of him. Roxas scowled. “You usual cling to me, annoy me, and try to follow me to the dorm.” He paused. “Someone suddenly doesn't stop doing that without good reason.”

The red head had an amused expression now. “You miss that?”

Roxas flushed. “NO!” He exclaimed indignantly. “But I'm just curious.”

Axel snorted. “Why? You said it yourself; you always think I annoy you.”

Roxas's eyes were downcast. “I have no fucking clue…”

Axel rolled his cat like green orbs. “Figure it out, then find me. Otherwise don't bother.” His long legs carried him around the corner or the corridor quickly, leaving Roxas behind looking confused down at the gum littered floor.

 

The odd bunch as Sora now liked to mentally call them had gathered back at the café during their little break. The tall blonde now known as Cloud amicably chatted it up with Squall. It was interesting, in all his years of knowing the mysterious brunette he had never seen him open up to quickly. Perhaps it was Cloud's somewhat crude nature, at least that was his first impression.

Riku sat beside him, only a little ways away. He found it amusing, and somewhat adorable that Riku denied his sexuality so viciously. And then there was Roxas, sitting with an unreadable expression, mindlessly poking at his carrot cake. He leaned forward.

“You okay, Rox?”

The blonde nodded without looking up.

“You look sick.”

He shook his head.

“You want to take a night off work?”

He shook his head again.

Sora made a face before sitting down and he turned to Riku and grinned. “Are you gonna be there tonight too?”

Riku blushed. “I have a …paper to finish tonight.”

Sora pouted. “Poop. You know that's not true.”

 

The conversation between Leon and Cloud was somewhat hushed. It was barely heard over the chatter buzz of the crowded café. They talked about anything, everything.

“So what's your major?”

“Computer mechanics.”

Cloud snorted. “You and every other Asian around here.”

Squall laughed slightly. “You're damn racist.”

Cloud shrugged. “No, it's just easy to make fun of people because of it.”

Squall just shook his head, leaning back. He looked over at Sora for a moment, a small smile gracing his lips. Sora was like a little brother to him. He observed silently as he teased, and teased the silver haired boy next to him. He could have to agree with Roxas on this one. Riku was good for the young brunette…

Kinda short, but I got my points across :3
