Sirocco blinked as he looked at his son but only chuckled when he heard the question. So, Bryna was right when she said that there was something going on between Roxas and Olette. He knew this day would come and nodded as he got from his chair and started to take his jacket and tie off.
"Well, if the girl likes you, it's much easier. There's two ways you can do it. One is to ask her if she'd like to see a movie... and then go grab a milkshake. Talk and hang out more. The relationship will become known and more natural flowing. If you're more bold, simply ask her out and then start the dates. You know, your mother was hard one to snatch. She was always shy and never wanted to leave her house. I got her though. A made a trail of chocolates one day after school leading from her locker to our English class. On her desk was a bouquet of roses with a letter telling her that I really liked her and if I could only have one date with her, I'd die a lucky man. She finally agreed and so was history."
He yawned as he sat down again and stretched. "You're a good kid, Roxas and Olette seems like a very nice girl. I don't think you'll have any problems at all."
Axel pouted as he looked over. "So mean~~~" He snatched the bowl from the other and lit his light again before inhaling.
Honestly... they were smoking the last of Axel's mother's stash. Sera had told Axel to get rid of what their mother had left and that the police didn't take. Well.... he was getting rid of it.
It wasn't like he could... sell it to anyone!
Besides, with all the incense that she was burning, no one would ever know.
He kept the stuff in as he handed it back to Demyx. He released it and leaned back, a weird smile on his face. "Mmmm, that is some good shit. When that's done, it's done so we better saver it, man." He looked back over to the screen he shook his head and picked up the controller. "Alright, final stage!"
A hour later, the two boys were in their boxers and briefs, their other clothes hanging around and Axel was without a sock. Axel's bed was only a twin but seeing that the two boys were skinny enough, they fit just fine. "Mmmm...." The redhead moaned as his sleepy and high body was clouded with smoke and some heat of the night as he wrapped his arms around his friend's waist and buried his face into Demyx's neck.
Riku smiled as he took some of Sora's food and ate it. Man, he'd have to order that next time!
He didn't notice the stares as he ate... maybe because of his nature of not socializing as well as Sora. He blinked and looked around slightly, now seeing it. He swallowed what he was eating and sucked on his chopstick. "You know, in Japan, there is a day called White Day that is like Valentines Day but backwards. On White Day, women are the ones to give men flowers and chocolates." He laughed and shook his head. "Sounds pretty cute."
He blinked, not realizing that he said something like that was cute.
Damn Kairi.
He blushed and shook his head before picking up the tab.
When the silverette paid, they walked out and it was much more chilly. Riku shoved his hands in his pant pockets as they started heading down the road to their houses. "Ah, it was fun tonight. We should go do stuff like this more often." The night breeze pushed through the Riku's long hair, making it flutter as they walked.
When they got to a certain point, they stopped. "Well, I'll call you tomorrow. See ya around." Riku game Sora a soft smile before waving slightly and turned the block, heading towards his house.
Aerith nodded as Terra talked but her head cocked as he asked the question. Before she could answer, he told her... and her eyes widened. She suddenly stood and looked down at him. "Terra! That... that's a wonderful dream job." She smiled and nodded. "I hope...it comes true. You know... so many people with good hearts never find the money they need to do their good ideas.... I thank the stars that my father had helped me make my dreams come true."
She slowly walked off, heading towards the front door and locked it. "You know... I think I'll wish on the stars for you... in hopes that one day you'll get a healthy pack of wolves to love and protect." She smiled as she passed him once more before grabbing her coat.
When they finished closing the door, they walk out onto the front step. Aerith looked around, not seeing Zack's car anywhere. "Oh... he's late?" She sat down next to Terra and smiled. "Mind if I wait here with you until he comes?"
"Mmmm~~" The blonde smiled as he continued to lick the veins that his tongue passed and his fingers continued to massage the head. When things were becoming wet, the boy pulled away only to wrap his lips around the head and sucked in. The taste of Zack filled his mouth, making his eyes flutter. It was familiar... and delicious. "Hnnn..." He hummed, sending the vibration through Zack's member as he continued to slurp and wrap his tongue around the other's head.
This all started about a few months ago. Ven was hanging out with Zack and his friends when one of them popped in a porn movie. Most of the guys were interested while Zack made some food and Ven just couldn't stop watching it.
When Zack's friends headed off for the night... Ven wanted to do some experimenting.
Sure, Ven was underage... but there was nothing against the law by doing this! It was the closest Ven could get until his 17th birthday when he could finally feel this thing inside him... As the weeks went by, it seemed to be the one thing on his mind.
He push more of the member into his mouth, sucking on it hard as he bobbed his head. "Mmmmm!!"
A few more minutes of this made Zack release... and like a good boy, Ventus swallowed it all... not wasting one drop.
Aerith smiled as she looked up at the stars and snuggled into her coat when she blinked as a car came up in front of the shop. "Ah, so there they are." She stood and smiled, looking up at Terra. "Thank you again for all your help! See you tomorrow and sleep well." She waved before heading to the house right next to the shop.
Ventus grinned as he sat in the passenger's side and Terra came to his door. "In the back, fucker." He taunted before sticking out his tongue.

Roxas listened to his dad quietly as he explained the 'options' he had. His lips quirked some when he heard how his dad had wooed mom - he's never heard the story before, had never even considered asking.
He wondered why he never had...
He smiled a little, nodding. "Yeah you're right!" He didn't know what method he wanted to choose though - bold and brave, or shy and slow. He'd have to think on that....
But he didn't have much time as he heard the timer go off and he jumped off the table, flipping the dial so it stopped ringing and checking the noodles. He took one out, taste-testing to make sure it was cooked through. Satisfied with the result he through the noodles in the drainer, washed them shrotly with water, and set them to drain as he dumped the rest of the water in the adjacent sink.
He flipped the switch to the oven, set down the pot, and them lifted the top to another pot, checking on the sauce. It was bubbling slightly, so he stirred it, then quickly turned off that burner as well.
As he was doing this, he heard the door open, a coat being taken off and hung by the door before the click-click of his mothers heels came into the kitchen. Bryna made a pleasantly surprised noise at seeing dinner nearly ready.
He heard his parents conversing behind him as he poured the now drained noddle back into the big pot, and added the sauce - it was a speacial white sauce mixed with garlic, herbs and butter, rather tasty really and much more tasteful then tomato sauce in his opinion. He got down three bowls, knowing that neither of his brothers would be showing up anytime soon - jerks - and quickly got bowls of food for each of them.
The night was filled in with chatter of their days, curious musings - and embaressing admittances aout himself and Olette of which his mother cried happily how cute a couple they would be.
Demyx smiled some, a little of his guilt easing as Axel admited this would be there last - thank god he was done going home and waving off the explnations of why he smelt like burnt pepper (he blamed the incense, like Axel) or feeling like he was dancing on a tightrope of trouble and one wrong move was gonna get him killed.
Luckily pot wasn't an addictive drug otherwise he'd be in a LOT of trouble. 'Course when Aunt Sera said to get rid of it, she meant to throw it away - Demyx couldn't fathom why Axel thought it was so wasteful.
The blonde leant back, as they continued to play round after round of video games and before they knew it, the drug started to wear off, leaving them full (because of course the munchies had Axel stealing his crust and him finishing his pizza) and tired. It was agreed that it was bedtime and quickly the two got ready for bed, slipping into the ratty yet surprisingly comfortable bed.
Demyx shivered ticklishly as he felt Axel's nose brush his shoulder, holding back a chuckle or two. He opened his mouth wide and yawned. "Night Axel." He murmured comfortably, his eyes sliding shut. A lot of people in his position would be rather uncomfortable, but he knew Axel didn't mean much by his actions - if he wanetd soemthing more, the red-head would of made it clear a long time ago, he was just... forward like that.
Besides, it was nice and comfortably warm like this.
Sora smiled as he ehard about the holiday, but the grin only widened more as he heard the silverette mention it was 'cute'. He couldn't help the chuckles that slipped from his lips, and they only grew worse as the other shot him a threatened look to be quiet, clearly embaressed. It was just too funny though!!
Talk was easy between them as they enjoyed their dinner, talking about the inane things teenagers always did, Sora not even showing any slight unease even though he knew others were listening in and watching - let them make their assumptions. Gradually the looks went away.
After they finished and paid for their meal, okay Riku paid (making Sora feel just a tad guilty), they left, stepping out into the surprisingly cold night air.
Sora shivered a bit as he rubbed his bare arms, surprised. It was only September! "Man, I don't want winter to come soon!" He couldn't help but whine and his friend made an off-handed comment about Destiny and how it was always warm there. Summer all year round. The brunette sighed wistfully. "Must be nice..."
But it was probably also terribly expensive!
He smiled at Riku's next comment nodding. "Yeah... we really should..." Had they really grown apart that much? He looked over, smiling some. "We'll always be friends though right?" He got a positive response that made his pratically glow.
By the time they reached Main Street and Bastion Court, they knew it was time the split. He said his goodbyes to Riku, watching the other take off. Strangely, even though the night was cold and the breeze biting, he felt warm inside, and his smile was wide.
It was peculiar, but Sora thought nothing of it - everyone probably felt similar after a great day with their best bud right?! He turned and ran all the way home - half to get his blood pumping and body warmed, half because he was just simply elated!
Terra smiled some as he was given the elder woman's approval he bet if he had told his dad the same dream he would have been called a sissy and his brother would have asked where held get the money. His mom though... maybe that was why he liked Aerith so much - she reminded him of his mom. Always supportive and insightful no matter what.
"Thanks Aerith," He said as they turned off the lights to the shop and she locked up. He took a seat on the bench outside, shivering a little at the cold metal. After a moment he moved over, allowing the woman room to sit as she kept him company as he waited for his deadbeat brother. Damn him for being late.
Well, it wasn't Zack's fault Ven was so... convincing. Thigns started to get hot as the elder arched somewhat under the other's insistance. While Ven was still inexperienced, and lacked the foresight of teasing or foreplay, it was still good and sent pleasant shivers up the black-haired male's spine. He knew why Ven was so insistent however - how desperate he was to finally turn 17 though his birthday wasn't until May. Zack was incredibly hopeful for that day too - he was going to get to 'steal' Ven's virginity.
He arched his back at the feeling of the vibrations his mouth open and letting out quick bursts of air, moans slipping between his lips. His hands curled into blonde hair, his other hand reaching up to curl around the top of the door.
If anyone came in, they were quickly chased off by the noises within - many probably thinking it was a guy and some girl who had snuck in for a 'moment of fun'. Oh if only they knew.
"Uhhhhn.... shiiiit." Zack hissed body twitching against the others' ministrations as he pressed his warmed cheeks agaisnt the cold wood of the door. Because he was holding onto it, the door banged loudly against its frame, the cheap metal lock jingling as Zack's groans got louder.
The little noises Ven was making was driving him crazy too, and finally he felt the warmth pooling in his gut clench. "Nnn... Ven Now..." He murmured in warning. His fingers let go of the blonde's head, giving him plenty of room as his body arched and hips twitched once... twice... and then went still as hot, white liquid shot into the blonde's mouth. "Aaaaaaaaaah!!"
His legs felt a little weak, his hold on the door now helping him to stand. He felt the other languidly cleaning him up and readjusting him, before lips where on his and Zack tasted himself, and the sweet undertone of Ven that was always so prominent.
His blue eyes twinkled as he smiled, face flushed. "Mmm, I suppose I'll have to return the favor tonight."
But right now he had to pick up his pissy little brother before he got told off even more then he already knew he would be.
Terra leant back some, ahdns shoved in his pockets. Like Sora and Riku, he was too 'manly' to remember a damn jacket. And, had he been alone, he probably would be doing jumping jacks to get some heat into his cooling body. But because he was with Aerith - and too much of a guy to let her see he was cold - he suffered silently, goosebumps rising on his arms and on his shins, the feeling uncomfortably itchy thanks to his jeans.
He shivered once or twice unnoticably, staring up at the sky as he conversed with his boss, talking softly about the wolf reservation he hoped one day to own. It would be miles and miles wide, with plenty of trees and grass and game for the wolves to hunt after as if they were in a natural habitat. Maybe even a few mountains too...
He doubted he'd own anything large enough to accept more then one pack - but if he could, he would like to own three of four...
That was a lot of wolves.
As they talked, a car drove up - one that was very familar. The brunette scoffed. "Finally." He said his goodbyes to the florist, sending her a smile before getting up and going to the passenger door. He was, mildly, surprised to see Ven already there and he scoffed, scowling at him. He flipped him off before going into the back and had to hold back a sigh of relief at the warmth the heater provided.
"Well now I know why you're fucking late." The brunette said ruthlessly kicking the back of Ven's chair angrily. What did Zack have that he didn't - experience aside? Fuck if he died his hair black they'd be identical fucking twins - of course he'd so be the better looking one! "The fucking shrimp keep you busy?"
Zack grinned satisfied, glancing back at Terra in the rearview mirrior before pulling away from the curb and heading for home. "Ahh, Terra you're just like a little puppy, all sulky when he gets left out in the cold!"
"Fuck off."

Sirocco nodded to his wife as he reached over and held her hand ofter dinner. He rubbed her fingers where their wedding rings met. "I told Roxas how I was able to nab you finally." He looked over at his son and smiled. "I think you could go either way Roxas. I don't know what it's like to be a part of a triplet but you have a lot of your own strengths... and you're a sweet boy so the slow way could work too. It would make me happy to see you happy with someone. I hope Sora and Ventus find someone too. Maybe a girl would help Sora with his sense of opinion as a girl might help settle Ven down."
When he was about to continue, he blinked, looking up to see the door open wide and a joyful brunette ran in. "Sora! Speak of the devil. How was your get-together?"
As of Axel, well... he never had the time to really... have time for attraction. He was always running away from someone or studying or... dancing. Shit, did he love dance!
Demyx wasn't a bad guy... and like college, he was always willing to try something once. He was pretty oblivious though when it came to things but like Demyx knew, he was straight forward with pretty much everything.
Nothing wrong with cuddling with your best friend right? Especially when you were high.
He smiled and snuggled into him more. "Niiiiiiiiiight~~"
Ven jerked when his seat was kicked. "HEY YO! The fuck's your problem, pansy?"
Blue eyes looked back at the brunette before the middle finger was flashed at him. He turned back when Zack started driving off and smiled as he looked out the window. He couldn't help but chuckle. "I hope the little puppy will behave back there or he won't be getting special treats tonight."
Terra's 'special treats' was Ventus's homemade muffins. He had learned how to make them in middle school and when he had made them for the first time, he shared the wealth with Aqua and Terra... and Terra had fallen head over heals for them.
Muffins were kinda fun to make, and everyone loved them when he made them. Never had to throw one out. He started to make all sorts and even made some for a bake sale.
Sly and pissy remarks were thrown around during the drive to the apartment complex.
Once Zack parked, they all got out and headed towards the building. Ven shuffled quickly, passing Terra to walk next to Zack and held his hand as they got to the front door and up the stairs.
Ven wrapped his arms around Zack's waist as the college boy opened the door and they stumbled in, chucking to themselves. The blonde's bag was placed in the corner as he sighed and looked around. It looked the same like it had three weeks ago. It felt like... his second home really. He easily walked to Zack's room and turned on the light. He pulled his tie off and flung it on the dresser as he pulled his shirt off next. Needed to get into something more comfy!
He opened Zack's closet and smiled as he looked in the back, finding a large, button up night shirt. Perfect.

Ah the day he nabbed her. She still remembered it - it was so creative and lovely, following those chocolates to her desk. All the kids were talking about it, and the girls she knew (sand many she didn't) were so jealous and said how lucky she was, they started to demand similar shows of love from THEIR boyfriends.
Heh, she was lucky alright. And of course she said yes! A girl would have to be well... not so bright to say no!
Bryna smiled affectionately, their rings shining under the artifial light. They still wore them dutifully even after all these years, unlike a lot of couples she knew. It was sad, seeing how quickly marriages fell apart... and the poor children.
But they had stayed strong through adversary and they made it.
She couldn't help but feel excited for her youngest. Ven didn't seem at all interested in dating and ever since Riku caught Kairi, Sora's definitely been a bit sour over it. Not maliciously or anything, but certainly less uppity.
"Oh you two will make such a lovely couple!" Bryna said with a smile.
Roxas, meanwhile was blushing. He didn't know what to do! Well they WERE going to be practicing together this weekend so maybe...
He wondered idly what his father meant by Sora's 'sense of opinion'. And he doubted ANY girl anywhere could ever, ever make Ven 'settle' down.
He looked up however when he heard the door open and a happy chirp of "I'm home!!" Definitely his optimistic brother.
Sora came in, smiling at the question as he took a seat at the table. "It was great! Me and Ri watched The Dragon Rider, it was really cool! Then we went to this japanese place called Kin-ai."
"Uh... wasn't that a little fancy Sora?" Bryna asked curiously, knowing the resturant well.
Her son just blushed son and shrugged. "Well, we figured that out when we got there... but we were really hungry."
Roxas rolled his eyes. "Only you Sora would go into the most romantic resturant in town and think it's okay."
Terra grumbled and growled, slouching in his seat and like Ven said was 'good'. He really wanted those damn muffins! They were, admittedly, his number one weakness. Especially... when Ven made them. They were just so damn GOOD. No bakery could ever compare to Ven's skill.
Zack couldn't help but chuckle, seeing just how sulky Terra had gotten. Only Ven could ever make his little brother act like that.
"Bitches..." Terra grumbled softly.
The ride home was filled with similar insults and teasing remarks, but Zack was still happy when he got to the little apartment, cutting the engine.
He heard car doors being locked and slammed behind him as he found the key to the front door. He smiled down at Ven when the other joined his side, completely missing the furious glare of his younger brother behind him.
Terra scoffed in disgust as he watched the two stumble in like some lovesick (and possibly drunk) couple. Fuck, what the hell did they think they were? Engaged?!
He fumed at that notion and trekked into the little living space, throwing his folder uncaringly on the coffee table while Zack, predictably, went after Ven. Ugh, how gross.
Zack poked his head into the room, grinning like a shark as he saw the shirtless blonde. He whistled innocently, coming into the room. "Ah you're so cute all innocent."

Blue eyes looked back as the shirtless boy grinned. He waited for Zack to walk over before he wrapped his hands around his waist and looked up at him. "Hehehe, my mom says I'm only good when I'm sleeping. Maybe she's right~" He teased as he leaned up and brought Zack into a hot kiss.
He blinked when he heard a growl behind them and pulled away, looking around Zack to see Terra. "Alright, I'm going, shithead." He pulled away from his boyfriend and grabbed his long shirt. He pulled it over and buttoned it up. The night shirt was long enough so that it went down to the mid of his upper thighs.
He pulled down his pants and flung them on his shirt at the base of the bed before grinning at Zack again.
He hopped out of the room and into the kitchen, easily knowing where everything was to making muffins.
It didn't take long until 6 fresh blueberry muffins were on the coffee table and Terra was already drowning himself in it... and it seemed it was more out of comfort food from jealousy seeing that Ven and Zack took no time in swallowing each other's faces again on the couch.
By the morning, Terra had eaten all the muffins... and was demanding for more.
The nights were cold, and getting even more colder by the day.
Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months. The trees turned their different colors, giving the art class much to paint and sketch and display around the high school. Football was in and kids cuddled up with friends or their girlfriends and boyfriends as they cheered on their home team a top bleachers.
The trees finally dropped their leaves as the cold grew. Kids bundled up before going to school. They wore heavy hoodies, coats, jackets, mittens and hats. Some kids even broke out their earmuffs.
All in all, things seem to go like any other year... but so much had changed in the lives of the kids... and now two weeks before Christmas, everyone was happy... and worried at the same time.
Worried because this was the month when major sign ups started.
Sign ups such as the major science fair in February, the duets in band happening in Spring and the dance contest staring in April. There was the bake fair and the book fair, and last by not least; PROM.
A note was sent to the home of the Holani, saying that they were able to attend the Junior Prom due to the fact that they should of been in that grade anyway.
It was great news... to all three.
Two kids walked down from band together as two others fell behind them. A chubby kid looked back, seeing the two behind them and smiled softly before elbowing his more taller friend. "They look real good together huh?" he whispered with a smile.
The two trailing behind were holding hands. One a girl and the other a boy. The girl was wearing a yellow dress with a white long sleeve shirt and white tights. Around her neck was a fluffy white scarf and from head head were fluffy white earmuffs. In her hand was another that she held onto happily as they walked after their friends.
It was actually... Olette who had asked Roxas out that day that they practiced together. She said that his musical talent had always wooed her and she just thought he was a nice boy. Roxas had come home with the knew feeling of having a girlfriend... and like brothers, Sora and Ven made little remarks... Ven more than Sora of course.
They stopped in front of a large board that said 'Sign Ups' on it.
There was one for the three major events going on and then a table not too far away setting up Secret Santa for each class.
Pence sighed as he looked over at Roxas and Olette jotting their name down for the duet concert next month. "Man, I wish I could sign up too. Stupid photography class field trip."
Olette looked over at Pence and smiled. "Oh, it'll be fun, Pence! At least you get to get out of Radiant Garden for the weekend! Nothing more fun than a weekend field trip!"
The boy sighed but nodded. "Yea, I guess you're right."
They were about to keep walking when Roxas stopped and Olette was pulled back to the sign ups. She blinked when he wrote his name in the dance contest as well and blinked. "You think you can handle the two??"
Down another hallway, a group of three were walking down to the sign ups as well. "PFF! HAHA! I can't believe your science teacher is demanding you sign up for that stupid science fair. Only fucking nerds do that kind of shit!" He laughed more only to get punched into the lockers but quickly caught up. He was also stabbed with the fact that Ventus was planning on joining the duet concert... and that was something pretty pansy as well.
The blonde sighed as he put his hands behind his head, a trait that all the Holani boys shared. "So, you gonna beat your cousin in doing your whole experiment?"
That was another factor.
Ida had called Zack and Terra's place to ask Terra if he even realized that his cousin, Braig, was attending HBHS.
Terra had no clue... but the next day of school he made sure to hunt down the nerd of time and to make sure Braig KNEW he knew he was attending.
Braig quickly became Terra's freshbitch when it came to science and math homework but the freshmen swallowed his pride... because he usually got to see ♥Aqua♥ while he was receiving his beatings.
A redhead sighed when he looked around, seeing all the kids signing up for things. He hated waiting in line at the cafeteria so he stumbled out into the hallway where kids were gathering. Besides, he needed to sign up for the dance contest.
He kinda didn't but kinda did at the same time. He liked going home and just... vegging after school but his aunt had been on his ass that he needed to find a job or something.
Well, the redhead tried that but because of his criminal record, he was having a hard time.
A bullion came out and his aunt saw that they were holding their first, annual dance contest and URGED Axel to sign up.
Axel LOVED dancing... but he liked sitting around playing video games too.
He yawned then blinked, seeing Demyx standing around fiddling with something.
He walked over and peeked over his blonde friends shoulder to see him looking at a necklace charm. It was familiar to him, seeing that he saw it at Demyx's house. It was the symbol of Aum.
Axel had found this symbol pretty interesting when Demyx had explained it for the first time.
"Oh, this? It's most important Hindu symbol. Its prolonged intonation is associated with the primeval sound through which the universe was created. It is thought to contain all things. It consists of three syllables — a-u-m — which are sounded progressively from the throat to the lips. The three sounds are considered to symbolize many items, but perhaps most importantly the three states of consciousness – waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. The entire symbol represents the fourth state, which is the awareness of one's own spiritual identity."
Axel's eyebrow rose before he laughed, making his friend question. "I bet you would of gotten an A in any class if you explained everything like that!"
"H-HEY!"
This charm seemed to be new though... and it was very pretty.
"Where'd you get this?"
Axel's blonde friend seemed to jump as if he hadn't even known his friend was there. He was shaky at first but he finally said something. "Sai."
Axel knew who Sai was very well by now. He was a Senior's brother... uhh.... Aqua was it? Well her car died on day and her brother had to pick her up. Well Axel and Demyx had walked by his car and the blue haired man poked his head out, telling Demyx he had a nice Sitar.
Well... let's just say it took Axel and Aqua another hour to get home as the other two talked. So happens that the man, Sai, was also a Hindu... and that he was going to college to become a Scholar in hindu literature.
Axel... was really becoming jealous anymore... He use to be Demyx's only friend and now this Sai guy had to come around and be all amazing. Maybe this practicing would get his mind off of things...
Riku yawned as he sat in class. Things on his end didn't change much. He had a boy's night out every Friday, no matter how much Kairi didn't like it. He knew that this time of the season was going to be hard though... because Kairi was going to join the science fair and Sora the duet concert.
As for him, he had finally gotten a job even if his mom didn't really want him too. He wanted to earn his own money though... and get out of the house.
He was now a stock boy at one of the local grocery stores. Nothing too big but he liked it any way.

Autumn fell away so fast. Halloween passed without much of a hitch - Ven, Terra and Aqua apparently went out in the thick of the night, scaring the groups of kids parents had unwisely let trick-or-treat alone. Sora spent his time excitedly greeting the trick-or-treaters while Riku and Kairi played scary movies in the living room. Roxas went to a party Hayner was hosting.
Then there was Thanksgiving. Terra and Zack went home for the holiday, Terra no doubt terrorizing his younger cousin. The Holani family invited the Mizushimas happily, the two mothers sharing in dishes. Hayner went out of town to celebrate with some distant relatives in a town about an hour or so away.
Now Christmas was approaching. Last-minute shoppers were rushing across town and through the malls to finish.
Hayner glanced out the corner of his eye and made an over-exaggerated gagging motion, shrugging. They'd been going out for nearly four monthes now - it had gone from 'good and cute' to 'sickly and sappy'. It was like Olette had stolen all of Roxas' manliness! It was that bad!
Roxas and Olette remained oblivious. Roxas in fact had been on a high of happiness for the past few monthes just enjoying the thrill of a relationship. Unfortunetly it was nothing like the fictional version of romance the books always tried to pass off. It didn't solve all his problems (or even any really, in fact it made more!) and he wasn't on Cloud 9 24/7 (sometimes he admitted he even felt worse... more depressed than usual) and the last and most embaressing aspect he tried not to think to much about...
was his sexual interest. He didn't dream about Olette or anything and his appitite was about the same, and sometimes even less. He wodnered if that was... normal? Weren't guys famous for 'only wanting one thing'?
Maybe he was - as his red-haired annoyance in dance class once mentioned when he went tripping over his feet - broken.
Ah yes... Axel. Everyone knew Axel. He was the fucking firecracker or a dancer - the best in the leader in the lot... until he was paired up with him, which had only been on two occasions. Because Roxas hated being a follower, and refused to let him lead and because Axel was too tall to make into a follower, he settled for screwing up their dances.
The blonde signed up without much of a thought for the duet, then paused thoughtfully before signing up for dance as well. He smiled at Olette then and nodded. "I'll be fine." She didn;t know it, because the choir was keeping it completely on the downlow, but he was also in a third contest. He was trying to win placement as singer for the Prom Queen and King dance.
He had a feeling between all these contest, his homework and schooling and his job too, he was taking on more than he could chew. Oh yeah, he had a job at the Cinaplex - the movie theater. Luckily he wasn't a concession stand worker so he didn't have to pull the whole 'hi welcome what to want' with the fake smile shit. All he had to do was play the movies and clean the theaters once it was over. Not the grandest thing in the world, and he had to see the same movie a gazellion times, but he got homework done up there sometimes so it wasn't bad.
Aqua chuckled as Terra punched their younger and much more light-weight friend into the lockers shaking her head. Then she heard the sniping. Ah, never a dull moment.
"Of course I fucking will."
"Yeah by stealing it." Aqua cackled.
"I won't steal it!" Terra grumbled as they reached the sign up area and he took out a pen, florishing his name under the science fair. He paused, seeing a blue flyer next to it, addressing the book fair. Hs stomach plummeted unhappily, wishing he could go - but of course it was on a work day and also he wouldn't have any money to spend even if he could go. He hadn't read any good books in a long while...
He blinked when his pen was snatched and he growled at Ven, only to get ignored. Two names were written up, one his own another his brother Sora's. Apparently the two had discussed it before or some... crap like that. And APPARENTLY Roxas was going to help them write some of it on top of doing his own duet. Weird family seriously.
Demyx, lost in his own world, did jump when he heard Axel behind him. He looked up nervous and a little uneasy as he finally admitted that Sai had given it to him. They had met completely by accident and Demyx later learned Sai was the brother of a friend of a friend who was friends with the brother of the blonde Axel always annoyed in dance.
Roxas! Yeah that was that kid's name. Seriously, he didn't think freshman could take dance class.
But anyways back to Sai. He knew Axel was a little jealous that he had a new friend. Okay a lota jealous - but Demyx couldn;t help it!
He finally had someone besides his parents to talk to about the sixteen Sanskars and to do yoga with. Sai even knew some hindi words and though they couldn't have full conversations and only knew enough to get through prayers Demyx, being much more traditional and had learned both it and english in his youth, enjoyed teaching him the language.
"Hey!" He stepped in quickly to avert Axel's mind, "Don;t you need to sign up for that contest?"
Sora meanwhile was weaving his way down the hall to his class, knowing Ven was writing his name up on the duet list and would no longer have to worry about it. He had... lied to Riku about needing to go and sign up.
The main reason was because hisface was shoved in a very intimate book at current. The Battle for Normalcy: Questions on Sexual Identity
In all of his life, he had never felt more torn andconcerned about him. Just about a month and a half ago, he had had... a wet dream. Now being a growing, teenage boy this wasn't UNUSUAL. It was embaressing though, since he shared a room with Roxas and he had uh... been awake...
But that didn't compare to the cold panic he did feel when he did come to conciousness and not only was he able to recall that he had no idea who he was having sex with, but also that it wasn't a shapely body and nice round breasts staring him in the face but hard planes and muscled abs.
Two weeks after that, he had another. This one, he wsas lucky, because Roxas had been at Pence's sleeping over. And it had been in the dead of the night - so he was able to run to the bathroom...
But instead of a cold shower he dared to masturbate under a warm stream and recall the dream... and it really was scary how fast he came.
He knew what it meant and was scared over it. He had no one to ask and if he did he was sure... that it would not be answers he would be getting. So he turned to books. And while it was hard finding time between all his honors classes and homework and his own job at the local pet store to read, he did it. Everything from fictional re-tellings to self-help books.
Nothing was really assuaging his worries, at least in the 'coming-out' department and what would happen to his relationships afterwards, but he felt better when he was finally able to look in a mirror and say, 'I'm Gay'. It was like... discovering a part of himself that was always right in front of him, but he never found the time to look at before.
It was just... right.

Olette smiled softly and nodded... but there was a part of her that knew that this just might be too much for her boyfriend. She wasn't like Kairi too who voiced her opinions or DEMANDED Riku to drop what he was doing to be with her.
Olette was soft spoken and when Roxas turned her down, she just nodded and said she understood and maybe they could go out on a date some other time.
Oddly enough, school was really the only place she got to seem him much or during the weekend.
Now with him signing up so much, she was worried that they would have no time for each other.
She'd have to talk to her mom tonight.
She took Roxas's hand again as they started walking to the cafeteria. As usual, Seifer's gang was easily spotted and the four tried to avoid them the best they could.
"Whatever." The pen was snatched from Terra and he started to jot his name down next to his brother. They had talked to the band teacher and she said that it was fine that they played together. She was interested in hearing how a harp and violin sounded together and only together.
She was also shocked that Sora played too. Each triplet was musically talented in beautiful instruments.
Unfortunately, Ven told Sora that their 'practicing' might have to be cut down due to his job as a cashier at Wall Market and for him to spend some time with his boyfriend.
He finally confessed to his brothers that him and Zack were getting more.....'serious'. This worried the boys... at least Sora.
What exactly was Ventus doing with Zack to make it... 'serious'.
What made Ven raise his eyebrow was one night when Sora had come to his room, and asked if he could ask him something. He seemed pretty confused about something... but he just shook his head and said never mind.
Ventus was gay... obviously, but he didn't know his own brother had been struggling....with the same thing.
The blonde handed the pen back to the taller boy and yawned, leaning on the table. He looked down, seeing who else was doing the fair and saw his own brother! HA!
He also saw Braig Tellus... but luckily the kid already had a partner. He grabbed the flyer on the book fair and looked through it before glancing over and blinking, seeing Terra putting his name next to Sora's. Why didn't he just make another space?
"Sora? Why the fuck do you want to work with my brother on some shitty project??"
HE WAS NOT CLUMSY!
It wasn't like he was TRYING to fall over the freshmen!
Axel blinked when Demyx snapped him out of it and pouted. "Yea... I don't see why you can't sign up either."
The reason why he couldn't was because his parents had decided to take a vacation to India. HOW COME HE COULDN'T GO TO INDIA!?
He sighed as he walked off, heading towards the dancing sign in.
His mind couldn't get off the idea that he was slowly losing his best... and only friend. It was like Demyx was getting out in the world while he just... sat around and played video games.
He walked over and looked down, seeing some people he already knew written down.... one being Roxas.
He frowned as he picked up the pen... and wrote Axel Xipil next to Roxas Holani.
We'll see how that little jerk like THAT!
As for Riku, he too lately had noticed how odd Sora had been. Their 'boy's night out' was becoming more and more quiet that usual... and Sora actually called off their latest one. Why...he didn't know but Sora had told him that he had gotten into a good book and that he was sorry.
So Kairi picked up the news and they went out instead. It bothered Riku though, seeing how out of place his best friend was. Maybe... he was going through a phase?
Maybe... he'd have to finally ask what was really bothering him.

Roxas smiled comfortably. It wasn't like he was avoiding Olette on purpose or anything - but he wasn't exactly like Ven who would just drop everything to be with Zack. A because well that was just foolish and B because he and Olette were well...
Suppose you couldn't really call a three-month relationship 'new' could you?
But well it all just felt kind of odd. From hugs to kisses. He was STILL getting used to the holding hand thing...
Was it really supposed to be so awkward?
Hayner was the one to spot Seifer and his posse, and started to crack his knuckles, absolute challenge in his eyes. Pence and Olette both both up in favor of avoiding them, no need for a war.
"Pff come on I just wanna smash his face in!"
"Quit it Hay," Roxas spoke up surprisingly. "It's not worth it."
The blonde turned, his jaw dropping. Roxas... refusing to fight?! He could still remember the times when the blonde was right at his side, declaring that he'd hold Seifer and let the him punch. "You've gone soft on me man!"
Roxas blinked, his brows furrowing. "No I haven't. I just don't really think it sounds like a good idea."
"Oh so sorry Roxanne. Didn't know you were worried about breaking your precious nails." Hayner said roughly, turning away and stomping forward irritably.
This prompted Roxas to growl and let go of Olette, only to walk up to Hayner and punch him hard in the shoulder. "Well you know sometimes it pays to USE your brain."
"Hey, look at the ducks ya know?" Raijin said, watching the group of four from afar.
Terra scoffed. "I can do whatever the hell I want Venny." He poked his pen against the others forehead, leaving a dot of ink behind.
The reason, of course, was just because tha gave him an excuse to go snooping around Ven's house - or more specifically his room. He knew that in a few more monthes, Ven was going to be of legal age and he knew...
Well let's jsut say Zack and Ven weren't exactly the most quiet lovers or house guests in the world and he knew what they WANTED to do...
He just needed some brillant scheme to stop it.
Aqua rolled her eyes boredly as they two griped at each other, her eyes idely checking out the sign-ups. Nothing was ever very interesting in her opinion. Just boring school stuff...
Demyx chuckled, following after the other - but he tilted his head when he noticed who Axel was signing up with. "Um Ax... are you sure thats the best of ideas?" He, always the peaceful one, mentioned.
Sure Roxas didn't HATE Axel or anything, but well... they didn't exactly get along either. The blonde, especally after that fiasco when they danced, had made sure to keep enough distance away from the red-head to avoid him at all costs.
And he always had a nice criticism picked out and ready snao at Axel if he DID get too close.
Roxas... was just not that nice of a person. Neither was his brother Ven. And there was rumored to be a third in the family - he was terrified of just how evil that one probably was!
Most of us fail to understand what causes the desire to be 'homosexual'. Sora read silently. The very idea seems repugnant to most. This is why it can be hard to admit to friends and family of having homosexual desires because there is no certainties on how someone will react and, guarentees, not all responses or many at all will be positive.

Olette blinked as Hayner started to go off.... and blinked even more when she heard Roxas. He... really didn't want to fight...?
She frowned as he felt his hand leave her and looked down at the floor. Was she... really changing him? She didn't mean to! She didn't want to... but as she thought, she was missing out on what was important.
"Chickens." A silverette corrected.
Fuu frowned as she looked over where Rai nudged to. Her red eye beamed at the two fighting and grinned. She reached into her purse and took out her wallet, opening it up in front of her boyfriend and showing him that it had no money in it. "Empty."
"HEY!"
Pence got between them and frowned at them. "Don't fight, alright? It's no fun when you guys get detention on Fridays! You make us wait for another hour until we can do something---" His eyes widened though as he saw Seifer's gang walk towards them, a evil look in their eyes. "C-come on, let's get in line while we still have money!"
Ven's eyes crossed as Terra poked him and growled. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" He rubbed his forehead and frowned. "There had better not be a fucking mark, dick face!" He swatted at the pen, making it mess up on the paper so it looked like it said Terra Tellius.
Nope, Ven definitely wasn't quiet about his love for Zack... unless he was home... and he made it quite easy to tell that he was waiting for that night.
It was to the point that it was sickening... to at least Terra.
Ven even tried to convince Zack that they could still do it... and that no one would even know... but at least Zack wasn't so... daft. It would have to wait until Ventus was legal.
What was worse was that Ven now worked at Wall Market... and it wasn't strange for Ven to take LONG bathroom breaks when Zack was on his break.
Apparently Ven had a 'condition' in which he needed longer bathroom time.
He growled as he crossed his arms. "I bet Sora is going to LOVE having you for a pa---"
The late bell rang and blue eyes widened. "FUCK!" He grabbed his things and suddenly dashed down the hallway.
Axel grinned and he put his hands on his hips. "Pfft, no way! That little prick needs to learn that he can't always lead! Besides, this will really tick the teacher off anyway and she'll switch us. You know how she doesn't like guys dancing together, especially not in a dance contest that will be held in front of everyone one. I just wanna see the look on his face at the end of the day when the main list is printed and see my name next to his."
He frowned a bit though as the bell rang and him and Dem walked to the cafeteria. Just as they opened the doors, they were witness to a huge fist fight.
"Uh..." The redhead back up into his friend to push them out of the cafeteria. "Cigerette break?"
They walked off, heading to the door in the back. "You know though... Roxas is a pretty fair dancer..."
"ACK! WATCH OU--- OOF!"
A girl was smacked into from behind and went flying into the floor. Her knee hit the cement tiles hard and she winced. She looked back, her eyes dark and her face hurt when she blinked and saw who it was. "Sora?"
Kairi blinked even more when she read the title of the book that was in his noes before he could hide it.
The Battle for Normalcy: Questions on Sexual Identity

Seifer looked at her girlfriend as she complained about her lack of money and smiled maliciously. "Well then we'll just have to fix that won't we?" He glanced at Raijin and with a nod the three went across the cafeteria towards the four.
Hayner and Roxas continued to quarrel until Pence jumped in and then the two blondes looked up, seeing Seifer coming over looking like he was ready for a tussel.
"Hell no," Hayner snarled, walking around his camera-loving friend and balled his hands into fists, trying his ebst to look threatened at the approaching three. "I'll take em all on myself if I have to!"
Roxas hesitated, for only a second, then he rolled his eyes and sighed, walking up to his friend's side, cracking his knuckles. "Sorry man, but I don't REALLY want to go into no sissy flower shop for you anytime soon."
Hayner glanced at his friend and smirked. "Now thats the Roxas I know!"
"Tch, is there any other?" Roxas smiled back.
Before anything else could be said, Pence and Olette had stepped back, and Seifer had apporached. "Hey chickenwusses! My girl's hungry!"
It began.
Terra, despite getting his name screwed up by his own pen, laughed manically. Because, thanks to Ven rubbed his forehead, the little black dot was now a little black smear.
A before the poor kid could even finish his sentence, the bell rang. The blonde was gone. Terra and Aqua, less caring about school, just shrugged and went in the opposite direction, taking there time.
For Terra, it didn't really matter so much, no longer having his mom breathing down his neck over his schoolwork. And Aqua well...
Terra had a feeling - no a certainty- that Aqua didn't give a damn because of her mom. He'd known Aqua a long time, and had known her mother for just as long. And if there was one word to sum her up it was this: Bitch!
He was no strnager to hard won love, having the dad he did, but at least his father showed SOME indication he cared - not always in obvious or even semi-normal ways of course. Aqua's mom, however, acted like her children were the worst disease to ever happen to her.
He really hated Aqua's mom.
Demyx smiled a bit, rolled his eyes and nodded. That was Axel for you. "Huh I didn't know you could actually THINK before you act." He teased playfully. But he was right, that pairing wouldn't last - Miss Belle would have a fit!
He followed after the other into the cafeteria, also catching sight of the fistfight and the crowd forming. Even as Axel started to push him towards the door, he couldn't help but keep watching. He didn't understand what caused the attraction to fights - and he of course was just another victim of this attraction. They were just so... interesting.
And - hey wait a second didn't he know one of them?
"He's a pretty good fighter to." Demyx suddenly said. When he got a confused look from Axel he smiled and pointed back towards the fight.
Through the heads of the crowd they just barely say Roxas swinging a fist hard at a tanned burly kid's face, knocking him over. For such a little thing he sure could pack a wallop!
The next second they say some scarred kid reaching out and gripping Roxas by his hair and tugging him backwards - even from here they could ehar his yell - when for a third blond, this one with curly hair, to rush forward and tackle the scarred one.
The first indications of homosexuality is different for everyone. Most commonly- Sora continued intently, until he heard a yell and - too late - smakced into someone. He was lucky enough to stay on his feet, but the one he hit was not.
To his shock, however, he knew this person. Hastily, he snapped the book closed and hid it behind his back. He didn't know he was too late. "Kairi! I'm sorry I didn't see you." He held out his hand for her to take.

Pence sighed as he watched the two and looked back, only seeing Olette shake her head and sigh. He walked back to her as the fight started... and it happened pretty fast. Olette covered her mouth as she saw the fist fly and then closed her eyes. Well... at least she didn't change Roxas... but now she was more worried about him!
She looked at Pence and sighed before rushing through the crowd that was forming. She rushed through the halls, knowing exactly where to go. It wasn't very far, next to the detention room. The security room.
She pounded on the door and panted a bit. "MR. ALEUS!? MR. ALEUS!? COME QUICK! THERE'S A FIGHT IN THE CAFETERIA!"
She didn't want to do this... knowing that her friend and boyfriend were going to get yet ANOTHER detention on Friday... but what else could she do? She wasn't going to get in the mess of things... and this fight was already worse than their last.
Fuu grinned as Seifer started talking... and then it was on. She let Rai and Seifer have their fist to the boys as she watched from afar but when Hayner went after her fellow member, she growled and shot towards him. She too grabbed his hair and yanked him back, and when he looked back to see who the offender was, he was hit hard in the face with knuckles.
Axel blinked and stopped then blinked when Demyx wasn't by his side. He looked back and tilted his head at what the blonde was trying to say. He, being as freakishly tall as he was, looked over and had hardly no problem seeing the fight... and it was pretty glorious. His eyes narrowed a bit as he watched Roxas throw punches and try to duck some. It was kind of like something in his game.
He too was pretty drawn but his cigarette was calling. "Come on..." He blinked when he took Dem's arm but felt some resistance. Axel could only laugh as he dragged his friend away. "I thought you were all about peace!"
Kairi blinked when she saw the hand, a bit confused still about the book. She shook her head before taking his hand and got up. Dusting herself, she was about to ask when the late bell rang. "Oh no! Alright, I gotta go!" She smiled before gathering her things and rushed off. "Be careful next time, Sora!" She called lightheartedly as she waved back at him.
Maybe that book was for his creative writing class....
At the end of the day, all the students reported back to their homeroom to get their report cards. It was the second of their school year.
Everyone hated this time because it was SO close to Christmas and this card was the answer to if they'll get what they really wanted from Santa!
Ventus looked to his side, seeing his twin with his head buried in the desk. He noted his hand being bandaged up and frowned. Yep, so that fight he heard about in last class WAS Roxas and Hayner at it again. Rox had better get a good report card.
He looked at the other side to see Sora, his nose in a book that he didn't recognize.
Ven shook his head and sighed as the teacher walked around and handed each kid their DOOM envelopes as Ven liked to put it.
An envelope was placed on his desk and read:
Ventus Holani
10th Grade
Ven swallowed as he reached out for his envelope and opened it up, slowly taking the report card out.
Band: B+
English: Writing Style and Literature Theory: D-
Food and Nutrition: D
Algebra I: F
P.E: C-
Principles of Psychology: F
Computer Engineering Technology: C+
"Shit...."
Headdesk.
He looked to the side, seeing Sora's happy face and looked at the other side, seeing his beaten brother try to smile.
WHAT THE FUCK!?
"Ugh..." He knew what this meant...
The bell rung and everyone shot off to get their bus, including Sora and Roxas. Ven sighed as he shoved the report back into the DOOM envelope and walked out. His life was over.
Instead of Roxas heading towards the band room, he walked towards the main hallway, probably to see who he was signed up with and by his side was Sora. They chatted as they walked to see while Ven was wishing he was never born.
The blonde caught the bus and knew Sora was going out with Riku tonight while Roxas was staying for detention and Hayner's mom would drop him off.
That night, everyone sat at the dinner table like always and started eating.
"So, I heard today was report card day." Sirocco announced and Ven's face turned pale.
"Hand 'em over."
The triplets got out their envelopes and handed them over to their father.
Sirocco always opened them in the order of oldest to youngest so Sora was first.
"Very nice Sora." He smiled and handed it to Bryna to study.
He looked down at Ven's and then over at the blonde with a curious look. He slowly opened it and frowned, seeing the horrible marks.
Ven swallowed and gave his father a shaky smile. "W-well I did get a B+...."
Sirocco stood before handing Bryna Roxas's report for her to open. "I'm going to go make a phone call."
"DAD!"
Ven shot up after his father as he walked to the living room. He picked up the phone and dialed a familiar phone number.
He got a message and frowned.
"Hello, this message is for Zack Tellus. This is Sirocco, Ventus's father, and I know you were suppose to pick him up tomorrow but I'm sorry to say that your plans have been canceled. Ventus received a horrible report card so he won't be going over for another month."
"WHAT!? THAT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR!" The blonde cried out.
"A month and a week."
"DAD---"
"A month and---"
"FINE! UGH!" Ven threw up his hands before stomping off and up the stairs.
"A month and a week then. Sorry if we've inconvenienced you in any way and hope you understand. Have a good evening." He hung up the phone and frowned as he heard a huge bang upstairs and Ven started to tear his room apart

Aleus came to the door, his face set in a grim frown. He didn't ask any questions or say anything, merely went around her and hurried down the hall like a bear on a rampage.
Whoever was in that fight better beware.
Aqua paused when they passed the cafeteria, glancing in. She could hear cheers of kids and louds yells and threats. All signs of a fight. For a moment she considered forgetting about it, but the flash of silver in the crowd caught her eyes.
"What is it?" Terra asked boredly, stopping near her. It wasn't like they'd never seen a fight before.
The blue-haired woman frowned, easily picking out Seifer and his little group group, along with Ven's younger brother and his friend. Three on two was rather unfair...
She watched Fuujin and the curly haired blonde tussel for a few moments more - not long after security broke through and split them up. "It's nothing." She murmured, walking off.
Terra, a tad confused, shrugged and followed after.
"Agh!" Hayner cried as he was thrown down by the punch. "Fucking bitch!" He growled, rubbing his face and got to his feet. He snarled at Fuujin and manners be damn he didn;t hesitate for a second to throw his fists back!
Roxas meanwhile was being thrown into the tiles by Seifer. He grunted coughed some as he found himself a little lost for breath. A jab at his ribs made his eyes water and he snarled managed to punch him in the nose.
It wasn't much longer however that Mr. Aleus himself did step into the fight, breaking all five teenagers apart and ordered them to his office.
"Well you know what they say Axel." Demyx said cheeerfully as he was dragged off. "You can't ask for something to stop that you don't understand." He nodded wisely, as if he was some sort of a philsopher.
Sora blushed guiltly and nodded. "Yeah sorry." He apologized, before waving to her as she hurried off. He sighed, pulling the book away from his back and glanced down at it. Well... at least she didn't see it. It would be rather awkward to explain.
He hurried to class.
By homeroom, Sora was deep into the fifth chapter already, soaking in the information greedily. It had already explained the signs of being homosexual and given tips on how to 'come out' to family and friends and about... crushes. Now, he was on the chapter about hate crimes against gays and how to minimize confrontation. Some of it was... pretty terrible. He couldn't believe some of the things people had done to other just because they loved those of the same sex.
He knew however... that he had to tell someone soon abut these feelings. He couldn't deal with it on his own. He already knew two people he could tell. His brothers. Vene specially...
But as the report cards were being handed out, Sora sighed and put his book down, knowing tonight would not be the night.
Roxas had his head on the desk, his right hand laid out flat, fingers just barely curled to minimize the pressure on it. He'd really hit that blockhead Raijin hard, and hitting Seifer on the nose didn't help much either. So now he was bruised and battered and his hand was giving him hell.
But, on the upside, Hayner wasn't mad at him anymore. Olette was kinda ticked though. He looked up however as his report card was shoved under his nose. He sighed, lifting his head, letting the nice purple bruise on his face show as he sat up.
Sora opened his, pulling out the slip of paper. And he grinned happily.
Drama - A
English: Creative Writing - A+
History of RG Honors - A-
Art and Painting - A
P.E. - B+
Geology Honors - B
Pre-Calculus AP - B-
Roxas winced a little as he pulled out his own card, quickly switching the card to his left. However, at the sight of his grades, he felt much happier.
Band - A
World History - B-
Choir - A
P.E. -
Algebra 2 - C
English: Writing Style and Literature Theroy - B
Dance - A
Well... hopefully this would distract from his battered face. He smiled some, though it was hard.
However, the bang beside them made both of the brothers glance between them, seeing Ven's head on the table like it had been nailed there. Sora couldn't help but be sympathetic, patting his brother on the back.
The bell rang not much later, the three getting up and heading down the hall to give a glance at the lists. The two didn;t bother to try and get Ven to talk, knowing he was in a bad mood and there wasn't much they could do to save him from their parents' wrath. They did spare him any 'I told you so's as well, both having warned the blonde against his frequent disregardances against his homework.
The three paused down the hall, Sora barely glanced at the lists, already having been warned by his brother that Terra was his science partner. He didn't mind, really. He knew the other would do his fair share and, despite all the bad things Ven said about him, knew Terra wasn't a bad guy. Just... a little ropugh around the edges.
Roxas skipepd the band list, but his eyes zeroed in on the dance list. He nearly choked when he caught sight of his name... and the name next to his.
Axel Xipil
"The fuck?!" The burst out loudly, then winced as it pulled at his bruised face. He growled, knowing the other thought he was SO funny. "I'm going to KILL him."
Sora glanced at the list then chuckled, patting Roxas on the shoulder. He'd heard a lot about Axel at least through conversation - sometimes the blonde would complain about him so much, the brunette wondered if his baby brother was obsessed.
He shook his head, saying something about class and the three split, two going for band and the third for drama.
After dinner, a nice chicken stir fry courtesy of their mother, the boys all paused in their gobbling when their father mentioned the report cards. Sora couldn't help but glanced at Ven in the corner of his eye, seeing the look on his face.
The three got out of their chairs and went upstairs to dig through their backpacks. When they got back down, each of them was carrying a white envelope. Ondeiently they were handed over and, like always, they were looked at in chronological order.
The brunette smiled weakly as his father praised him, knowing in just another minute or two, there would be a not so happy response.
Bryna took the report card, smiling at the marks. Sora always had done the best in school. She glanced over, however, when Sirocco opened Ven's and she heard the unhappy blonde trying to explain.
She spotted some of the marks, frowning unhappily as well, before Sirocco was up and heading for the phone. She knew what was coming, but did her best to ignore it as she opened Roxas' alone. "Good job darling. Though I do want to see improvement in Algebra okay." Roxas smiled uneasily, getting a quiet okay.
She could ehar yelling in the other room and then finally the blonde stomping up to his room to through a tantrum. She sighed, setting the report card down and glanced at Sora. "Sora, hon, could you give me and Roxas some time alone? I think you need to get ready for your sleepover at Riku's anyways."
Sora glanced at his other brother, seeing his face fall, and felt bad for him too. He knew what this was about. He pat roxas on the shoulder comfortingly, before he got out of his chair and trekked upstairs sulkily, hands in his pockets. Maybe he should break his mother's priceless vase, that way all three of them would be in trouble and they might not be so hard on his siblings.
"So, your principal called today." Bryna began stiffly, looking unhappy.
"I hope he had nothing but good things to say." Roxas tried, smiling some.
"No he didn't." His mother said agitatedly, taking a deep breath. "Roxas, I thought we talked about this! I thought you said you'd quit fighting!" It wasn;t olette who was changing him - it was his mom.
"I tried mom!" Roxas cried back. "But how is it my fault that Seifer's a jackass and keeps trying to steal my money?! He starts it!"
"Roxas I don't CARE who starts it. You should be the bigger man here and not even be in the fights! And I heard there was even a girl involved Roxas. A GIRL!"
"But... but Hayner will think I'm a wuss! And Fuijin doesn't even count as a girl!"
"Well if thats the kind of person he is, then he shouldn't be your friend."
Roxas pounded his fist on the table. "Damn it mom it's not his fault either!"
"Roxas you're grounded."
"What?!"
"As long as your brother. And if I hear that you've gotten into anymore fights, then you won't be in either the band or the dance contest. Do you understand me?"
"But mom-"
"And if I have to, I'll take away prom too."
Roxas stared at his mother, silently fuming, then he pushed away from the table violently, causing the dishes to rattle and shake, and when he got up from his chair, it fell behind him with a loud clatter. He made no move to pick it up, but like Ven he stormed up to his room.
Sora spun around when the bedroom door cracked against the wall, only to get slammed loudly by his furious brother.
"Well FUCK HER!" Roxas screamed loudly before stomping over to his bed and falling onto it, burying his face in his pillow.
Sora hesitated uncertainly, before going over to the other, noticing his shaking shoulders. He sat down, rubbing the other's back. "Rox..." It was rather surreal, trying to comfort one brother while the other was making a racket in the next room over.
"It's not my fault!" Roxas said, his voice choked with tears. "I didn't do it on purpose!"
"I know..." Sora said softly, "But she just worried about you. Mom loves you... and she doesn't want you to get hurt."
"So she has to punish me?!" Roxas turned his head to the side, scowling as water fell from his dark blue eyes.
"Yeah, that's what parents do... but don't worry Rox, it'll be okay."

Ven threw his pillows at his wall, making the posters rip slightly and feather flying up all over the place. A chocobo clock was knocked off the wall and fell, smashing into pieces from the contact.
The blonde huffed and puffed as he stood in the middle of his destroyed room. Tears a fury and hurt ran down his face as he collapsed on his bed in defeat.
He wondered if Zack had to go through the same thing he did... no wonder they moved out!
IT WASN'T FUCKING FAIR!
WHY A FUCKING MONTH!?
AND A WEEK!?
FUCK!
He whimpered before wrapping his blanket around himself and reached over the side of the bed to pick up his cell phone that hit the ground. He flipped it opened and pressed '2' then 'Call'. It speed dialed Zack's number and he placed it to her ear.
When the other end picked up, Ven sniffled. "Zack? I'm grounded..." He was sure his boyfriend didn't get the message yet seeing that he was probably heading home now.
At the front door, there was a knock. A nice blue car was outside the home of the Holani's and a woman stood at the front door. Her name was Carina and was Riku's mother.
She was a bit excited to have Sora sleep over again. She missed it a lot seeing that they use to do it all the time when they were younger.
The short haired silverette smiled brightly as Bryna opened the door. "Hello Bryna!" She leaned in and gave her good friend a hug before blinking. "Oh... yes, wasn't it report card night?" She noticed that none of her three were at the table. "Some bad reports?" She smiled softly. "I hope Sora got good grades at least. I know my Riku did very well this semester." She got a nod and smiled more. "Good! Is the little genius ready?"

Zack heard his ringtone go off, and he took one hand off the wheel -
"Fuck you trying to get us killed?!" Terra cried.
"Stop whining." Zack grumbled as he pulled out his cellphone, a smile passing his lips as he caught the name. He flipped it open raisiing it to his war. "Babe?"
His smile fell a little though, when he ehard the sniffling on the other end, and moments later he found out why. "Grounded? Why?" He asked softly. His brows furrowed. "Your grades? Ven..." He glanced at Terra, whose eyes glimmered with knowledge.
"Well don't fucking look at me! I got all A's."
Zack rolled his eyes, mouthing accusingly, 'You knew about this!' Terra just shrugged, looking away.
"How long babe? A month... and a week?" Well that was rather random. Zack sighed, trying not to sound too unhappy for Ven's sake.
Meanwhile, Terra had a happy little grin on his face, mentally cheering. No Ven meant no Ven and Zack which MEANT-
"Don't worry babe, we'll still see each other at work."
Crap! Fuck! Shit!
"And you know if you're on your best behavoir I bet you can get a few weeks knocked off on your sentence!" Zack said cheerfully. "Worked with my mom all the time! And dad you know, always listens to mom. So don't worry, we can make it through this."
Bryna suigghed, but looked up when she heard the knock. She got to her feet and went to the door, smiling when she saw who was on the other side. "Carina!" They shared a hug - they'd know each other since their boys had been in gradeschool after all. Sora and Riku were one of those lucky pairings of friends that survived throughout the years.
"Like you wouldn't believe." Bryna murmured in response, sighing unhappily. She nodded however to the question about her son. She was pretty sure she'd have a heart attack if Sora ever did bad in school. "Well, let me get him."
She turned, walking to the foot of the stirs. All was, thankfully, quiet now. It seemed Ven was done. "Sora! Carina's here!"
Sora looked up at the yell, then frowned guiltly. Roxas rolled his eyes, grumbling, "We'll be fine. Get lost."
The brunette glanced down, then sighed, getting up. "Okay." He turned grabbing his things.
...Okay?! Roxas grumbled, unable to stop the spark of fury that settled in his heart. It was unfair and selfish he knew, but damn it what happerned to the brother who stayed back a year for Ven or would go to the back of the food line with him when he got caught cutting once?
Tch, then again Riku ALWAYS held priority over him or Ven. Stupid bastard pretty boy...
"Are... you sure you're alright?" Sora asked.
No! "Yes."
The brunette looked down at him quietly, knowing he was lying, but he only nodded and gathered his things, walking out of the room. He hesitated in the hallway, sparing a glance towards Ven's room where it was now eerily silent. He just barely could hear the other mumbling, most likely talking to Zack on his cell phone.
"Don't worry I'll send him your love."
Sora still hesitated.
"You know he'll only get pissed if you go in there now."
That was true. The brunette glanced back, smiling some. "Bye roxas." He turned, going down the stairs.
When he saw Riku's mom however, his face brightened more. "Carina!" He shot forward, hugging her enthusiastically as if he hadn't seen her in weeks. Just like Ven had a second home, Sora had a second family.

Ven couldn't feel like his chest was going to explode. Mixed emotions sent his heart pounding, hating the feeling of it. It felt like he couldn't... couldn't breath or something! His anger mixed with sorrow and guilt and... and he hated himself for sucking at school so bad!
He sighed and shook his head, running his free hand over his forehead as he shook his head.
"Zack, I.... I.... I don't want to be here any more." He whimpered and shook his head more as his boyfriend tried to calm him down.
"NO!" He suddenly cried out as more tears ran down his face. "I-I have a job too now right? Why... why can't I just move in with you and Terra? We'll make more than enough money for all three of us... and...we can do whatever we want! Terra won't rat on us, that fucker and we can finally... be together without anything in the way!"
More tears ran down his face as he started to shake a bit. "I love you, Zack...this isn't fair..."
Carina blinked and laughed as she wrapped her arms around Sora. "Ah, it's nice to see you again!" She pulled away and ruffled the brunette hair before nodding. "You ready for a sleep over 'ol Auntie Carina's house?" She smiled more before looking at Bryna. "And of course, don't worry about them. Sora'll be returned to you in the afternoon and he'll be well fed."
The adults waved goodbye before Carina and Sora walked to her car and got it. It was only down the block but Carina didn't like it when Sora, Riku or Kairi walked alone in the dark... so she insisted on driving.
They drove about 5 minutes until she pulled into a driveway and into the garage. She closed the door and into the house they went. The place smelt like apple cinnamon and had a warm touch to it. It wasn't hot or anything... just a warm home.
"RIKU! SORA'S HERE!" The woman call up before smiling at Sora.
"ALRIGHT! I'M IN MY ROOM!"
Carina nodded before walking off towards the kitchen. "I think I'll make you boy's some brownies."
Riku wrote his last sentence before closing his book and stretching. He still wasn't out of his school clothes yet!
He put the book back in his backpack when he heard the loud noise of Sora's HUGE feet coming up their stairs and then the brunette appeared. "Hey~"
