Holy Hell High

[Rikugurl]

Not so much nervous... but cold. The night had become much more chilly and seeing that the blanket was now on the floor, he had nothing to really warm him up...

His hand was warm though when Sora took it... and to Riku's surprise too. He really wasn't expecting Sora to actually... go along with it.
With a mighty tug, the silverette pulled his best friend back up onto the bed and practically onto his lap.

Sora was obviously a nice, very easy going boy... and always was for as long as Riku could remember. In his eyes... he thought Sora was secretly with a girl... somehow and was worried about his kissing. Honestly Riku practiced with his pillow...

Before he knew it though, their bodies were pressed close together. With his mindset at what he believed, Riku wouldn't mind helping his friend learn how to kiss...
He smiled softly at Sora's shocked expression as he ran is fingers across that baby fat cheek of his. "Here..." He whispered as he leaned up and latched his lips around the other, closing his eyes to draw Sora into a soft, wet kiss.

[Reno]

Sora had no idea what Riku was thinking. If he had been thinking himself however, he probably would of found it quite logical. But currently, he wasn't thinking with his head... or at least not the right one.

He himself was shivering, but he wasn't cold at all. In fact he was rather warm and dizzy and oh god Riku was kissing him!

He shut his eyes, unsure of what to do or how to start. What was he supposed to do with his hands?! So sloppily he pressed his lips back against his friend's.

[Rikugurl]

Riku pulled back after a moment and looked up at his friend on his lap. "More gentle... don't try, just let your lips move..." He whipsered again as if he was handing off the most important piece of information IN THE WORLD.

He leaned up again and pressed his lips softly onto the other's closing his eyes as his mouth opened and closed, guiding the other into a much more natural kiss. His hands slowly pulled up, fingers finding Sora's waist and running under his shirt softly to feel the soft skin underneath.

[Reno]

Sora blushed at the others instructions. Gentle?

He shut his eyes, trying to stop thinking abut how it felt and concentrate more on how to do it. Always having been a fast learned, he slowly started to copy the silverette's movements.

He couldn't help but squeak though when he felt the others hands brushing his skin, the shiver running down his body easily felt by the other.

He blushed embarrassed when they broke away again, breathing softly. Riku leaned in again and this time, Sora raised his hands, placing them on Riku's shoulders, fingers splaying across the others shoulder blades. Their lips met again - and oh god was that a tongue?! - and Sora's hands inched along the others shoulders until his fingers unknowingly brushed along one of his friend;s more sensitive spots, the back of Riku's neck.

[Rikugurl]

Riku smiled softly as he felt the other ease. He knew Sora was a fast learner... and he'll be a kiss master in no time.
His cold fingers continued to climb up slowly, the soft and slightly pudgy skin giving off such a nice warmth.

As Sora wrapped his fingers around his neck, he started to deepen the kiss, becoming more intoxicating than the last. When he felt the back of his neck touched and rubbed, he let out a soft moan before furthering the kiss.

The strongest muscle in his body slowly broke through their lips and found a scared tongue in Sora's mouth. He opened his mouth wider, letting Sora know it was ok.


The only thing bad in this picture was... he hadn't even gone this far with Kairi...

[Reno]

Sora made a soft noise, one of surprise, when he heard Riku moan. He;s known his friend for years and yet this... it was like finding a whole new side to him. One... his body and mind was dying to imprint into his memory.

Feeling a little more confident, he tilted his head some, his tongue tentatively rubbing against Riku's. He let the other take control of it however, feeling the other guiding him through the motions of a french kiss - to him it didn't matter if Riku had experience or not. It felt damn great no matter what!

He groaned softly, his body arching as Riku's fingers danced along his spine, a shudder working it way down his frame. His body was reacting, his face flushing and an arousal pooling his gut. Shit... he did NOT want to get a hard on right now!

[Rikugurl]

Riku continued, not really being able to stop. This... this felt better than kissing Kairi. It wasn't... so forced or... not even... a feeling like he had to be good.
Why... why was this feeling so natural?
So right?
So... drowning?

His fingers felt the flinch, something he found.... delicious.
He moaned again softly, not able to control it as he ran his thumb down an elastic waist until he found a dip in Sora's skin.
His pelvis bone.

Their tongues continued to dance when Riku suddenly felt something pushing against his lower abs.
He pulled away, saliva stringing from his mouths before it broke. The aquatic eyes looked down, trying to see what this was in the dark... and all he could see was Sora's pants pressed on him there...

[Reno]

Sora whimpered as he felt the fingers rubbing dangerously close. His abdomen muscles shivered in delight, instictively wishing Riku's hands would move lower.

But instead, he got just the opposite as his friend broke the kiss. Sora panted softly, licking his spit-soaked lips, but noticed Riku was... looking down and looking a tad confused.

Sora looked down as well, and he blushed heavily, knowing exactly what Riku was feeling. He looked away uncomfortably. God... he felt mortified! "M-Maybe we should stop." He whispered, trying to shift away.

[Rikugurl]

Riku blinked as he heard his friend. Oh....OH!
He slowly let go of Sora's waist and nodded.
They sat there in silence for a moment before sighing softly. The silverette pulled the tie in his hair and let his silver hair fall over his strong shoulders. "You should take a cold shower."

Ouch... cold showers were the worse in winter!
And women bitched about their periods!

He sighed as Sora got up and hurried to the bathroom connected to his room and when the door closed, he rubbed his face.
What... was that all about...?
And... what made him feel like that was ok? Had he...made a dent in their friendship?

He shook his head before pulling all his hair back up and wrapped it up tightly. Getting off the bed, he sloppily remade it and walked to the dresser to get something more warm on. He reached down and pulled out his brown, plaid fleece pj pants when something a top the dresser caught his eye.

The Battle for Normalcy: Questions on Sexual Identity

His eyes widened as he read the title and saw a bookmark in the middle of the pages.
Alright... he really couldn't play stupid anymore.... things were adding up... and way to fast for Riku to handle. He looked at the door to the bathroom, noting that the water had yet to be turned on. "S-sora...? What's this book for...?" Ok, that was the second stupid question of the night. He shook his head before swallowing. "I mean... what's.... going on?"

[Reno]

Sora blushed more as he got the nod, hurriedly climbing off the other. He sat there, panting slowly trying to regain some sense of control. It was kind of hard though when his member was pulsing painfully and practically begging for attention.

It was... kinda funny actually. He'd never had such a problem with his hormones... until now. Guess this proved it. He was gay, end of story.

Before he could panic at this set-in stone realization, Riku mentioned a shower, and he could have kissed his friend (again) just for the excuse to run away. "G-Good idea." He jumped up, running towards the bathroom and shutting the door.

He leaned against the door, locking it and flipping on the light. He shivered some pulled away from the door after his legs stopped feeling like they were going to collapse under him and stumbled in front of the mirror. "God look at yourself." He mumbled, pulling off his shirt. His cheeks were flushed red, his lips swollen and shining there was a tent in his pants and his body was tingling all over.

He rubbed his hands across his lips and turned, heading towards the shower, just reaching for the knobs - but he never got there as he heard Riku's voice come in.

And he froze in shock.

W-What?

He turned slowly, just staring at the wooden door dumbly as if it would hold all the answers. Riku... hadn't understood?!

"Oh fuck..." Sora whispered, unable to think of a more appropriate term. He walked over to the door, unlocked it and opening it. Light spilled in the dark room, Sora unconsciously holding his shirt to his chest... like he was embarrassed about showing his body to the other, which well he was.

He looked at the book, then at Riku, seeing the look in his eyes. He wasn't sure if it was reassuring him or not...

"Why did you think I kissed you?" Sora whispered. "Why do you think I even NEED to take a cold shower just because we were kissing?"

[Rikugurl]

Riku's eyes closed, not use to the light that was now pouring on him with no warning. He covered his eyes a bit before looking in. He found it a bit weird that Sora was hiding behind his shirt... like he had boobs or something.

His cold fingers were numb as he stood there, a bit awkwardly too.
His eyes widened though as Sora started to whisper... and more and more started to come together.

Sora didn't have a secret girlfriend... and he wasn't insecure about kissing this nonexistent girlfriend either. He was...

"You're gay..."
Riku said softly, as if he totally saw the picture now. No wonder he hadn't found a girlfriend yet... and didn't even seem like he was interested in girls... but he didn't seem interested in boys either until now.
Was he... crushing over....him....?
He looked down, feeling a bit awkward but slowly looked up at his shivering friend.

How long had he been...?

"Sora..."
The silence broke again before the silverette shook his head. "It's ok..." He looked back at his friend before he smiled. "You know... I was a pretty weird when I was a kid... but I was glad that I could have someone be weird with me. I'm not saying... being gay is weird... but I just want you to know... nothing will break our friendship. You've always been there for me... and I'll always be here for you..."

He swallowed and rubbed the back of his neck. "To tell you the truth... I think that kiss was better than any of the kisses I shared with Kairi. That either tells me you're a better kisser or...." He trailed off before looking up at Sora. They stared at each other for awhile. Riku... really didn't want Sora to have to suffer through a cold shower in winter... but what else could he do?
He reached into the room, knowing exactly what he was doing as he flipped a switch.

An over head heater turned on and the silverette smiled. "Hurry up... we have some zzzz's to catch..." He nodded before opening his top drawer and pulling out a warm sweater.

[Reno]

Sora shut his eyes as Riku figured it out shaking all over. He'd never felt... so scared of his friend before. He'd read quite a few books....

and some stories that he had read were heartbreaking. Friendships that were torn apart, families that kicked there children from houses... teachers who turned blind eyes to harassment. Things that.... broke Sora's heart.

His blue eyes opened tentatively as he heard the other speak up though. He was... he was okay with...

His lips quirked some. "Don't get my hopes up Riku." He joked softly. He smiled more as the heater came on and nodded, turning and retreating back to the shower. "I'll be just a sec." He said, and shut the door.

And it really was. The shower came on, Sora let out a girlish cry of 'Holy crap!!!', and then after his 'problem' was gone, he let the hot water come on before turning it off completely. He toweled himself off quickly, got back into his clothes, and got back inside Riku;s room sighing pleasantly at the warmth.

Riku was waiting for him. "Are you sure it's okay?" He asked tentatively, nodding towards the bed., Now that Riku knew... had his opinion about him changed?

[Rikugurl]

Riku sighed as he retired back to the bed and got comfy under the covers. He wasn't so tired anymore... but he wouldn't refuse sleep.... especially when he knew that this was going to be a busy quarter at school and that any sleep he could get, he would have to take it due to endless nights of studying.

He yawned but blinked as the door opened and his friend walked out. He tilted his head and chuckled a bit. "Yea, yea~~" He patted the bed besides him and smiled. "Just watch those big feet of yours. I don't want to wake up looking like I got into a one sided kicking contest." He joked lightly before laying down, waiting for his best friend to join him once more.

[Reno]

Sora grinned, and then laughed at the others comment. "Well, it'll be the one contest I win." He toweled down his hair furiously, but no matter how honorable his efforts, the hair was still damp by the time he came to bed.

He laid down, stretching out languidly. It... wasn't as awkward as he thought it would be. They fell asleep pretty comfortably, like always. By the next morning, Sora was bouncing around the room, claiming that Riku just HAD to get up because Carina had made french toast.

And everything was the same as always.

Though... there were questions.
Like how long?
"I just started having weird dreams about two months ago and started putting two and two together. So, not long."
Did his family know?
"No not yet. I'm gonna tell Roxas and Ven soon though it won;t be any surprise to them."
What the hell did that mean?!
"Uh Ven's gay too... He's dating Zack, Terra's brother."
And... Roxas?
"Come on Riku, he's dating Olette! But... He might be bi. I swear he's obsessed with this one guy."
What about his parents?
"Err... I'll deal with them somehow." He said nothing else on the matter, looking highly uncomfortable. He had... dropped a clue here and there (nothing obvious he did have some tact!) - and the responses weren't pretty.

He was going to keep that information away from his parents as long as possible, maybe even until he was in college and out of the house. Because... they were both pretty highly homophobic. And he'd rather not get himself, and his brother Ven, kicked out and shunned. But... he didn't want to tell Riku this. Didn't want him to worry.

By noon, Riku was walking Sora up to his door, his mom waiting in the car. The brunette paused before going inside, and turned wrapping his arms around the silverette in a tight hug. Nothing out of the norm for him of course.
"Thank you Riku... for accepting me. You're the best friend a guy like me could ever have!"
He got a hug in return and a laugh. Some sort of wisecrack about him being rather cheesy and sappy. Sora only smiled. "Always!"

The friends said their goodbyes and went their separate ways for the weekend. But Monday would come soon.

Sora returned, however, not to a pretty sight. Ven was... well he was limping a bit. The excuse he gave was he had kicked something in his room too hard (somehow that didn't surprise Sora). Roxas was giving everyone the silent treatment, except Sora, who found out Ven had pissed him off last night with his music. Ven didn't seem to care whether Roxas liked him right now or not.

And APPARENTLY Zack had called earlier, but Sirocco wasn't going to let Ven speak to him, pissing the blond off further.

Lunch was... an awkward affair. Half way through though, the phone rang. Bryna got up to get it.
"Hello Mrs. Holani." Came the suave voice on the other end. "It's Terra."
Bryna sighed. "If you've called for Ven, he's grounded."
"Actually I called for Sora. Me and him are working on the science fair project together. May I speak with him?"
"Ah yes." Bryna said before lowering the phone. "Sora! It's Terra!"

Sora looked up, spared a glance to Ven, then got up and went to the phone. As his mother went back to the kitchen, he raised the phone to his ear. "Hello."
"Hey Sora."
"You didn't call for me, did you?"
"Smart boy." The teen chuckled on the other end. "I'm just doing this to make Zack stop bitching."
"I had a feeling." Sora chuckled, smiling.
"Is Ven anywhere nearby?"
"Yeah, hold on let me go to me room." He said, trying to act as naturally as possible as he went upstairs, whistling the first few chords of Mendelssohn's violin concerto as subtly as possible. When he, Ven and Roxas were young, they had developed 'code' music when they used to play spies or missions and other silly games like that.

They had gone with their favorite concertos at the time - naturally his was a harp concerto by Handel, Roxas a flute concerto by Mozart, and Ven the violin concerto by Mendelssohn. They were all widely different and easily distinguishable, even though they could only whistle it.

And even now, they still did it to let that specific brother know that they needed to get away from the area and to where the other brother was right away. Usually, when the other brother was in trouble and couldn't let their parents know they were directly about to disobey them.

"The things we do for our brothers." Sora chuckled as he went into his room.
"Tch, sometimes I wonder if they're worth it."
Sora laughed, shaking his head. "Mmm, possibly. So when do you want to do the project?"
"I'm free most weekends."
"Cool me too."

The two talked for about five minutes more, throwing ideas back and forth - despite Zack's obvious whines in the background.
"Yeah that sounds really cool." Sora said excitedly, when he heard the door open and Ven slipped in, looking eager and like he had stuffed his whole lunch in his mouth in three seconds. "Oh, Ven's here."
"Okay. You hear that jackass? Ven's there!" There was a loud cheer.
Sora laughed, handing the phone over to his brother. "Be quick okay? I'll keep watch and knock on the door if someone;s coming."

The phones switched hands... and the boyfriends practically squealed as they talked. Terra, on one end, was gagging in disgust. Sora just smiled as he went into the hall, glad he and his brother friend could help make him that happy.

Zack of course wasn't very happy to hear about what happened to the cellphone - the blame went to Terra though for pissing the blond off. "My fault?! Well fuck you and his temper tantrums!!!" But now that Ven was working, it wouldn't be too hard to replace - in fact, he could probably get a really nice one.

The elder male avoided the topic of Ven moving in though. Said they would talk about it later. It wasn't long before Sora was knocking on the door and conversation was cut though.

The only other eventful thing that happened that weekend was Sunday evening. When Sora finally told his brothers, in the confines of their music room, about his recent revelation. Well, not that recent.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Roxas asked, a little stung.
"Yeah, you didn't have to run to books." Ven grumbled in disgust, probably thinking about Terra and how pissed he still was at the other.
"Cause you guys aren't around anymore." Sora said simply, making the identical twins look away guiltily. "I mean Ven you're either at school or with Zack and that is well about all you have time for. And Roxas you're always too busy with well... everything."
Roxas lips twitched, unhappy about how much attention he wasn't giving his brother - especially since he was always there for him of Ven whenever they needed help without a cry of complaint. How... could he of not been there for Sora when he was probably going through one of the biggest changes of his life?! He still remembered how weirded out Ven had acted when he had first started to figure it out. And while Ven had had Zack to help him through it too at the time, it was still comforting for the blond to know he still had family he could go to when he wanted less... intimate comfort. "I'm sorry Sora..."
"It's not a big deal." The brunette reassured easily, smiling in his forever forgiving way. "The good news is, Riku doesn't mind and that was the most important thing."
Ven and Roxas both shared a look (it seemed the silent treatment was over), before looking at Sora. "Do you... like him?"
"Wha... NO!" Sora's cheeks heated up quickly.
"YOU DO!"
"Shut up!!!"


Then it was Monday again. Roxas sat down in the area of the quad he and his friends had marked as there, just having gotten through his explanation.
"She won't let you do... anything if you get into another fight?" Hayner tested.
"Nope. No band, no dance, no prom." He sighed.
"That's... harsh man." The blond said sympathetically.
"Yeah, I think I'll be able to convince my mom to let you come over," Here he glanced at Olette, "To practice with me and stuff for the contest. But that's about it. I'm not allowed out of the house or anything for the next month and... a week except for school and work. So you know if its all the same with you guys, uh lets avoid Seifer for the next good while, please?"
Hayner frowned, not happy with the prospect of running like a... chickenwuss, but he nodded, knowing that it was important to his best friend. Sacrifice and whatnot.


"Hey guys!" Sora chirped cheerfully as he found his two friends in their normal spot. He smiled, seeming to glow with joy. Ever since he had figured everything thing out over the weekend... and found out Riku and his brothers would be there for him if he needed them to be, he had fallen back into his normal, silly behavior.


"Well look whose here! Woke up early for once didja Ven?" Aqua said as she looked up from tugging out the frostbitten grass. She was bundled up nicely in her coat - damn it was cold!
Terra, leaning against the trunk, smirked seeing Ven's furious glare directed at him. His body was tensing however, ready for any sort of attack. Ven was a vicious bitch sometimes... "Well, guess getting up early is part of the punishment too."

[Rikugurl]

In the morning, Riku almost got flatted by big feet jumping on his bed. He groaned as he turned over and a pillow was flung, hitting Sora on and pushed him off the bed. The silverette smiled triumphantly and settled back into his pillow... but for only a moment.

"FRENCH TOAST!"
"AAAAAAAAAAH!!" Riku jumped up as Sora shoved his face in his and fell off the bed. "ALRIGHT!" He grumbled as he got up and started to put on some clean clothes before walking behind Sora to go downstairs. The smell of french toast was already coming from the kitchen and the silver haired woman over the stove looked up as the boys walked in.

"Morning you two." She smiled even more before she turned and brought some of the french toast to the table where the boys were sitting. "Did you have fun last night?"
Her son stopped, remember what had happened and blushed a little under his long hair. "Y-yea!"
"Good!"

After they ate and played some more video games, Carina called the boys and they were off to drop off Sora.
Riku walked Sora to the door... which seemed a bit odd but smiled as he got the hug. He shook his head and laughed, hugging his friend back before looking down at him. "Alright there, sissy pants... I'll see you Monday!" He waved as he walked back to the car and drove off after his mom beeped the horn.


Ventus had a sour look on his face as he sat on at the table with his family. He didn't notice that he had cut his thigh so deep last night... and for once after his first time cutting, he was limping again. Good thing he had a good excuse too because that would be hard to explain. No one knew... not even Zack...

He grumbled as he picked up a piece of his sandwich and started eating it when the phone rang. He watched his mom get up and answer the phone in the kitchen before chewing. He stopped though when he heard it was Terra and glanced at Sora. That's right... the fucking prick was working with Sora on that fucking science project.

He growled as he pushed his sandwich back in his mouth as his brother stood and went to the kitchen. The brunette walked out minutes later on the cordless phone... and started to whistle. His eyes widened a bit and looked at Roxas who knew the tune too. He suddenly started to push his sandwich down his throat, making Sirocco look up and blink.

Before Ventus swallowed his last bite, he was out of the chair and after the stairs. "Awall doone!" He called as he rushed up the stairs and down the hall. Sirocco blinked before shaking his head and continued to read the newspaper.

He sneaked into the room and smiled as he swallowed. "Thanks Sora!" He took the phone and smiled happily hearing his boyfriend's voice.... but his cheeks grew a bit red when Zack started to ask if something was wrong with the phone...

After that, Ven caught up with his video games and worked a bit with Sora on their duet.
Sunday though was different... and he and Roxas were summoned to their eldest brother's room.

They sat on his bed as Sora came out. It was no big deal to Ven... but he felt a bit better knowing he wasn't the only one... Then again, he could of cared less if he WAS the only one.... but he did feel bad... about not being there for Sora... but at least the person he came out to... was a real good friend.
The thing that made him grow a wicked smile though was when Sora got all blushy... and he and his identical brother gave each other the same look before teasing the brunette.

It was obvious... that Sora was crushing hard on Riku.
Lucky for Sora too... because he got to see Riku all the time...


Monday came as quickly as the weekend went and Bryna made sure to wake Ventus up early enough to catch the bus. No more sleeping in.
He growled and stomped around, getting on his uniform like every other kid attending HB High. He sighed as he trudged downstairs and ate breakfast with his brothers... and fricking father... before catching the bus and sat with all three of his brothers in a seat.

When the bus stopped, they all got out and went their separate direction.


Olette smiled as she saw her boyfriend and waved as she sat on the bench next to Pence. "Roxas!" The group smiled as he walked over and Olette made a spot for Roxas to sit. "Grounded?" She frowned be smiled softly. "Well, at least we can still practice. I hope you boys learned a lesson though!"

Before anyone could comment, a pair of legs blocked their view from the world. Olette and Pence blinked as they looked up... and up to see a redhead looking down at them. Was this that guy Roxas was always bitching about?

Axel grinned as he looked at the blonde. "So, footstomper, when are WE going to practice?"


Riku looked up and smiled as he turned, seeing his friend running up to him and Kairi. "Hey Sora." It was good to see Sora happy again... and that his nose wasn't stuck in that book anymore. Kairi smiled too, happy as well. At least she won't get bumped in the hallway anymore! "So, how was your slee---"
"Is that Axel with your brother?" Riku butted in as he pointed to the Junior LEANING over the Sophomores.


Ventus walked up to his LOVELY friends and sighed, kicking the snow as his black hoodie kept him only a BIT warm. You know... the manly thing about not wearing jackets... but he did have a matching checkered scarf like his brother and a pair of black earmuffs. He looked over at Terra and growled. "Yea it is, fuckface." He sighed as he looked over at Aqua. She was having car problems, which is why she was all bundled up. Seemed like her brother dropped her off and he remembered her bitching about him not having heat in his car.

"Hahaha, you look like a fucking penguin!" He ducked when a snowball came at in at 90 miles per hour before looking back at Terra. "So what lame ass idea did you and Sora come up with for the fair anyway?"
