Chapter 23 BlANk

~Present day~

I'm not expecting anyone anymore but Tidus and Zexion. I finally decided to give Zexion a chance, I needed to forget Sora. I'm tired of feeling this way always being ignored and resented it was clear to me now. Sora only acted the way he did that day because he was afraid to die...Not because he liked me...or loved me... I hated accepting this. Everytime I thought about this it made me not want to give anyone a chance...I was shrouded in confusion and pain. But I can't let Sora get the best of me. Here he was happy with Marluxia while, I was left alone and unhappy I was stupid to ever think Sora would fall for me yet alone have him...

Riku sighed breathing softly as he sat up feeling something slip from his cheek it felt warm yet wet. He gulped a little his mouth shaking a bit, feeling like eveything beginning to break in his body. He felt so lost. He wanted to go home so very badly now so that he may shut himself from any visitors that may come. Not wanting to see anyone whatsoever, wanting to be alone and not be seen it the kind of state that he was.

A door creaked open making him turn over to the door curiously perking his ears up to listen for someone's voice. So that he could make out whoever had entered his room He frowned a little at the intrusion.It was early so, he really did not want anyone disturbing him yet it was odd and rare to have someone visit him so early. But at the sound of the voice that sopke out so suddenly. Made his mouth opened in shock as the footsteps moved rapidly toward him his body froze.

"Riku! your bleeding? Are you allright? What happen to your eyes? Should I go get help?" he asked waiting for a reply as he stared at the blood trailing down his cheek from both eyes. Riku's eyes were hidden through the white bandages but even the bandages were stained with a little blood.

"....?" He stayed silent stunned by the sudden visit. He was confused his head began filling with questions, How? Why is he here? Shouldn't he be at school? Did he ditch? Wait why would he ditch. For me? I only heard one person enter. Did that pink freak bring him here? Is he coming here? Does that mean cares? Why does his voice sound so meek and frail? His footsteps seem off? Was he hurt? If he's hurt shouldn't he be resting or something? Did he really want to see me?Did he just ask me a question? What do I make of all this? Riku swallowed hard feeling cold sweat take the best of him.

The other male's eyes darted from left to right searching for something to wipe away the tears mixed with blood that trailed down Riku's cheek. He moved toward the counterr grabbing the tissue to clean Riku's face up but instead decided to get him some help. They may look like tears mixed with blood but, I could be wrong. It could be blood. I really shouldn't risk it. The boy began heading out the door.

"Stop! I'm ok I don't need the nurse coming in and giving me more medication. That I don't need. All these nurses think pills and shots can solve anything which they don't.they make me feel weak and drained. I really don't like feeling sleepy." he gruffed.

"But your bleeding!" he protested.

"I'm not, These are tears not blo-..I mean I wasn't crying It's not like..." Riku blushed it was rare of him to cry in front of people. The last time he cried in front of someone was when he was just a kid and his mother had just passed away and now Sora had seen him cry. Riku rubbed his cheek wiping them away bashfully as he tried to find an excuse to hide that he was crying.

The boy smiled smiled sadly and walked over to Riku "If your not crying Riku then are you bleeding?" he asked tilting his head to the side trying to read his expression.

Riku's face redden "No Sora..." He covered his face shyly not knowing what to say at the very moment. Why am I so nervous Say something you idiot...

Sora sighs and grabs Riku's hand moving it away from his face "Ok.." he moved to clean Riku's cheeks. Blood was smudged all over the silver haired males cheek.

Riku grabbed Sora's arm holding onto it as he ran is cold fingers around Sora's warm ones studying the warm feeling that emitted from Sora's hands moving his other hand as he traced around the palm while his other hand on his wrist.

Sora gasped his face beginning to redden. He was kinda glad that Riku would not see his reaction that crossed his face his lip quivered. He winced a little from the pain were Seifer had tied him with rope not too long ago."nnngh.." he struggled the noise through his trembeling lips as he begins to close his eyes he tried to block out everything that had happen to him.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in school?" Riku asked as he began to loosen his grip noticing that he had caused Sora some type of pain from his reaction. That came out wrong...I meant to ask him why his wrist is so bruise I could feel how swollen it is...

Sora gulped "Uh well I um wanted to see how your doing. If I had waited Marluxia would have tagged along and I didn't want to ma-" he stopped realizing what he was about to say.

"Make me what?" he moved his head to face Sora. His face turned into a frown, this all began to irrate him just hearing that pink haired males name angered him so mad. Jealous? Of course I am he has you and I don't whats not to be jealous of?

"
I don't well. I didn't want him to tag along. He seems to follow me everywhere and I just wanted to see you on my own." Sora says shyly biting on his lip: his heart beats rapidly picking up its pace. I hope that doesn't sound too weird...

"Why?" he asked again irritated. Of course I he doesn't leave you alone I wouldn't either.

"Riku stop asking why because your my friend."

"Last I heard I was disgusting and sick to you." he says discontented letting go of Sora's hand completely. Why? was I expecting anything to change. I'm a fool for trying. He already has someone. He turns his head lamently.

"I...I just was...I didn't mean it I'm sorry...I wasn't thinking Riku. I really was just..mmm" mournfully confounded to the floor nervously his face becoming rosy red in distressed at what to say next to Riku. If I were to say anymore. I may as well tell him that I...love him...but I can't he's with Tidus...I will just make an idiot out of myself.

"You were what?" Riku slanted toward Sora mending closer to him to hear his answer better nervously anticipating to listen.

"Uh I-I w-well I was just je-" his voice stuttering he stopped at the sudden apperance that entered the room. Sora stoped what he was saying turning his attention to the other figure who completely shut out Sora as he hurried over to Riku embracing and grappeling onto Riku's waist.

Riku frowned irribly trying to move away from Zexion. He wasn't in the mood to be hugged; he wanted to listen to what Sora was going to say. He felt he was close to finding out the truth so very close but his boyfriend had interrupted him. He forced a smile trying to move Zexion away from himself.

Zexion pouted he glanced over at Sora oddly "Sora?" he says amazed "I thought you were Tidus for a moment." he says still holding Riku's waist his eyes growing relieved for a second before asking his question "Why aren't you in school?" he asked.

Sora snapped out of his trance "Oh uh...I just wanted to see how Riku was doing.." he says beginning to bite his lip as he stared at Zexion's hand that wrapped around Riku who was trying to pry him off. Why is Zexion here?...Shouldn't he be with Demyx?

"Oh." was all Zexion was able to say he looked at Riku dissapointed by the sudden distant that grew between them. When Riku tried to move away from the clinging Zexion.

Sora couldn't take it no more quickly interrupting Zexion from placing a kiss on Riku's lips. Zexion glanced over at Sora stopping a couple of centimeters from Riku's mumbling complaints. "Why aren't you with my brother..?" he asked feeling his legs losing their balance. His eyes staring at Zexion in confusion. What happen to Tidus? Zexion? Why isn't he with my brother? Did they fight again? But why is...

"What about him?" he replied coldy his eyes growing a little sad but quickly changed to his usual strict expression firmly placing a kiss on Riku's cheek hesitly. He looked like he was holding back a hint of remorse crossed his face.

Riku moved his hand touching Zexion cheek sighing a bit.

"Well a-aren't you..Are you guys fighting again shouldn't you t-two be making up?" Sora asked desperately his voice growing meek and almost begging. This can't be right...It can't!

Zexion exhaled loudly "I'm not going to make up with him...Me and him are over now for sure...I'm tired of his immature actions their..He's not fit for me. I need someone more sophiscated. He turns his gaze Riku caressing his silver hair. "Your brother is just not what I thought he was is all" he smiles sadly.

Sora quickly changed the subject refusing to accept this "Riku... I heard from A-Axel that your bl-blind now.." Sora breathed heavily trying to avoid any tears he breathed hard trying to steady himself Calm down Sora Calm down...Don't think about it Don't think come on Sora...

Riku opened his mouth to say something but Sora carried on.

"How?...Why are you blind? Nothing happened to your eyes when..y-you...saved me from the fire.." Sora breathed again trying so hard not to cry it burned his throat he felt himself shake at the mere sight of Zexion's bedroom eyes as he stared at Riku. His hands began to ached from the way he gripping and digging his nails in his palm. "What c-caused i-it.."

Riku stayed silent for a moment noticing the odd tension. He began feeling in the room not only that but the odd pacing in Sora's tone was off key he didn't understand why would Sora sound so sad? "The fire...didn't cause it...They got it wrong the hospital made a mistake...and they did this to me... My operation...is tomorrow.." he says gripping the blanket angrily. They don't how to be organized.

Sora covered his eyes feeling the tears emerge. Here I'm crying over not being able to be with Riku. When he's most definetly going through much more crap than me...Im so selfish.. His body uncontrallably shook trembling. "A m-mistake?" he says in grief.

"Yea. I'll be fine though. I can still help you with your studies Sora..." Riku moved a little uncoftarbly "I extended your time for your make-up. My uncle was not really happy with the idea but...Since the fire and all he considered it actually...I may not be able to help you with math very well but the other subjects shouldn't be a problem.."

"I...y-ou..dont have to. I..mean thank y-y-you..." I have to go. I can't take this. I just this is too much. I'm pathetic. I'm too weak. I cant take this...I don't I can't even think straight. "I-I..got to g-g-go.." Sora quickly ran not waiting for anything to be said.

"So-Sora?" Riku make an effort to get out of bed but was stopped by Zexion.

Axel walked in with a grin. He grabbed Sora's waist stopping him, breaking his sudden fall "Whoa there, were you going in such a hurry?" He stopped noticing Sora's tears dripping down his cheek. "S-Sora? What's wrong?"

Sora hid his face in Axel's shirt breathing unevenly "I wanna go...p-please Axel..can...we..jus.." He trembled feeling the tears run down his face uncontrolably "please." Sora whispered helplessly.

Axel looked over at Riku then at Zexion who stared oddly at Sora his expression growing worried.

"What's wrong? Axel? What's going on?" he asked trying to move past Zexion's way.

"Nothing Riku your one blind bat! Literally." he placed a hand on Sora's shoulder "I'll come back later today Riku." and with that said he pulled Sora out the door closing it behind himself.

Sora couldn't move couldn't walk he felt dead. He began to feel like nothing it made his stomache churn.

Axel stoped turning around as he noticed that Sora was no longer next to him he scratched his head "Oh boy." He begins making his way toward Sora lowering his head "You okay Blon- I er mean Sora?" he smiled quickly. Oops I thought. I was talking to Roxas for a sceond there.

Sora looked up at Axel lost and confused he sighed sadly feeling the tears roll down his cheek. His checks flushed in frustration at why all this was happening to him. Why is all this happening to me...?

Axel blushed at the cute look that Sora gave him. Ahhhhhhhh NO FAIR I want a threesome for the LOVE of GOD Roxas! Axel melted and picked up Sora carring him on the way out "Cheer up will ya that look your giving me is killing me it's like seeing your brother in your state " he says smiling at Sora's bewildered expression. Maybe if I ask Roxas for THAT as a birthday gift heh.

Sora smiled sadly appreaciting Axel's help.

As soon as Axel was in his car he looked over at Sora "Want some ice cream?" he asked with a hungry grin as he imagined the sweet ice cream melting in his mouth.

Sora was out of it but quickly moved his head toward Axel "Ice cream?..." he asked not really understanding he was lost in his own thoughts to actually really listen to anything that was being said to him nontheless understand.

"Yeah. Ice cream you know with some strawberries toppings, some cheeries, and some sprinkles." Axel's mouth began to water as he began describing the ice cream. He smiled happily at the mere thought of it.

Sora couldn't help but laugh at his childish expression that Axel had on is face and smiled a little at the smile. Of course was Sora was still holding a sense of depression. But Axel still accepted it. "Ok let's go " Sora finally said. He needed to clear his head sure, Riku was with someone else again...but he just he didn't care that wasn't going to stop Sora from loving Riku.

Axel grinned and nodded exitedly as he drove full speed making Sora sink into his sit as he stared shockingly at the rear window. Feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his mouth Axel's driving was insane. He speed through every stop light and sign not stopping till they reached their destionation.

Axel swerved. He almost hit another parked car; he was inches away from it . Stepping out smiling at the Ice cream shop that stood in front of him. Axel jumped up and down smiling widely at the ice cream shop staring at the rainbow colored sign that read Snowe. A guy started yelling at Axel, but Axel didn't even notice the man instead he was gaping at the store his emerald eyes glistening in the sun. He hurriedly walked to Sora's side to see what was taking him so long.

Sora was wide eyed staring straight ahead still in shock.

Axel began laughing "What wrong Sora? Are you that impressed with my driving?" he chimmed happily at the brunnette.

Sora jerked his head toward the open door and puked his brains out the door feeling half his stomache gone by the time he was done. In a matter of minutes Sora was sitting on the outside bench with his head pratically on the table he had a water in his hand.

Axel rubbed Sora's back "I wow. I didn't mean to make you throw-up you ok Sora?" he says asking worriedly.

Sora nooded a little looking at Axel. He rubbed his eye licking his bruise on his tounge it still hurt a little his body felt even more drained than it already was he looked at the menu it was filled with different types of flavors, toppings, and even shakes. "Y-yea I feel a little better." he said quesingly looking at Axel.

"That's good well what do ya want me to get you?" he asked patiently looking Sora.. I wonder what kind of ice cream he likes?" I'm getting the large size that has alot of strawberries and a popsicle too yea." he says enthusiastically

"Mmm...Ice cream? Uh I don't feel well maybe a little later." he says weakly.

Axel smiled and messed up Sora's hair "Ok be right back brownie." he smirked at the new nickname; he had given Sora. Heading over to the counter to order what he wanted his grin never faltering as he looked at all the toppings that they had.

After a couple of minutes he dug in finishing his ice cream he lifted his spoon raising it to Sora's lips.

Sora gasped startled by the cold feeling that hit his lips he looked at the ice cream "I don't want any gaugh." he mumbled through his lips.

Axel slipped in the ice cream ignoring Sora's refusal "Come on try it it's really good." he smiled when he cleaned the side of Sora's lip and laughed a little. "Wow Sora your a messy eater." he teased.

Sora began to chew on the strawberry that so happened to slip in his mouth and pouted at Axel who now was laughing at him "I'm not really messy it's just you forced it in my mouth so suddenly." he says his mouth beginning to water wanting to consume more his ice cream. Sora's eyes lowered to Axel's bowl of ice cream that tempted him so.

"Ah really now? Prove me wrong then Sora. Let me buy you an ice cream sunday.Are you sure your stomache can take it? Do you think you feel better enough for a ice cream sunday?" he says challenging Sora. If your messy, I wouldn't mind heh.

"Ok bring it here then. I'm ready for it." Sora smiled accepting the challenge.

Axel grinned and nodded hurrying himself to order some ice cream.

Axel came back with the bowl of ice cream. He sat across from Sora placing the huge bowl of ice cream down he leaned forward about to kiss Sora but stopped inches away from his face realizing what he was about to do awkardly. He moved away from Sora turning his attention elsewhere "Uh there you...go. " He says scratching his head nervously.

Sora blushed blinking not understanding what just happened he looked over at Axel finally realizing that Axel almost had kissed him. Sora bit his lower lip as he picked up the spoon shyly playing with the ice cream. "U-Uh thanx.." he says as he dug the spoon in the ice cream looking at it .

Axel moved his eyes over to Sora "Y-Yeah no problem..Anyways um show me that your not a messy eater." he says trying to sound as casual as he could he smiled apprehensively at Sora.

Sora nodded and brought the spoon up to his mouth dunking the spoon in his mouth as his cheeks flushed from the sweetness that over took his mouth.

A figure stood across spying on Sora and Axel with a camera in his hand. The camera lowered as he tilted his head staring at the two with a satisfied smirk that formed in his lips it lasted a qiuck three seconds then faded to his emotionless state. Axel and Sora. Who would have thought first Riku now Axel? No I could be wrong, but I'm sure others won't think so they look like a couple from my point of view . Still isn't Axel with Roxas? Well what would I know I just heard...Wouldn't that suck if Roxas saw this. That did look like Axel try to kiss Sora hmm wonder why he stopped it could have been good for a picture. The shaded figure sighed raising his face and turning away as he began heading back to the parkinglot. This is going to get interested..
