I noticed I made a lot of mistakes on my last chap. Sorry guys! I'll try harder this time xD- Sora
Forbidden Temptation-
I completely forgot to ask Roxas if he told my dad I was spending the night at his house!
I felt my hand freeze on the door handle. I bit my lip and forced the door to open.
"I'm home!" I called out.
"Sora! How was your friends house?" Laguna said coming out the kitchen with, what I guess, was his dinner.
My stomach growled. When was the last time I ate?
"It was great! Um… can I have some of that?" I asked sheepishly.
"Don't tell me they didn't feed you," Laguna laughed as he handed me his plate. I shook my head and headed for the kitchen table.
"Hey, dad?" I asked after a couple moments of silence eating. He nodded his head lightly, "What is it?"
"Do you know Roxas Fair?" I asked skipping around the subject. Gah, I really am a coward.
"Uh… yeah what about him?" Laguna said his emerald eyes still glued to the T.V.
I took a deep breath and mustered all my courage, "Well, I'm dating him."
My dad didn't even flinch. At first I thought it meant he was alright with it until he turned his head, "What?"
If I was alone I would have smashed my head on the table, "I said 'I'm dating Roxas'."
"What?" He snapped, "Isn't he like a senior?"
I shook my head, "He's a junior like me."
He pressed his lips together, "Which one is Roxanne again?"
I felt my eye twitch, "His name is Roxas, Dad. And he's the one with the swirly blonde hair."
"Oh, ok. When do I get to meet him?" My dad said turning his attention back to the television. Well that was easy, I thought.
"Whenever you want I guess," I said standing up to put my dishes away.
"I want to meet him today. Go call him," He said waving me with his hand. I sighed but nodded and stumbled upstairs. Frankly all I really wanted to do was sleep but oh well. I threw myself on my bed and called Roxas.
"Yes?"
"Get over here now," I said simply and hung up. I knew he must have been listening the whole time and I wouldn't be surprised if he was right outside this very second. I sighed and sunk into my best trying to compose myself before I decided to go down and face the music.
This couldn't go so bad right? I mean what's the worst that can happen?---
"Sora the door. Unless you want me to open it," Laguna said trailing off.
"I got it," I said lightly closing the door behind me.
Here goes nothing, I thought as I opened the door.
"Hey," I greeted. He was stunning looking more like a male model than he should for meeting my father.
"Hello," he said giving me a small kiss before walking inside.
"I thought vampires hade to be allowed in before entering a room," I whispered teasingly.
He rolled his eyes and half glared at me, "Myth."
"So you're Roxanne right?" Laguna said walking over to shake Roxas's hand. I mentally slap my forehead.
"It's Roxas sir. Nice to meet you," Roxas said shaking his hand.
"Come over here, son. We need to talk about a few things before I let you take my son anywhere," Laguna said leading Roxas to the kitchen table. I sighed and followed halfheartedly. ---
After the torture ended Roxas left and my Father seemed pretty satisfied.
"He seems like a good guy," Laguna said lightly. "But, I want you to be careful and always carry this with you," He said handing me a can of pepper spray and a necklace with a key in the shape of a sword.
"Dad…" I sighed. "I can take care of myself."
"It'll put my mind at ease," he said still holding them out. I played with the key, "How is this supposed to help me?"
"It's a keyblade. Pull the charm and a knife will come out. It was your grandmothers and she gave it to me and now it's your turn to be the keyblade wielder," he said waving his hand.
"Wow Dad, thanks!" I said pulling the charm and seeing a thick small blade come out of the key.
"You have to take it everywhere, understand me boy? Everywhere," I nodded and saluted before heading back upstairs. ---
The next day was all planed by Demyx. I was going to go with them to watch them play baseball. Laguna gave me a glare before I left the house and I winked and showed him I had both my key and the pepper spray. He smiled let me go without any questions.
"So am I the only one who's going to be watching?" I asked once he helped me inside Leon's giant truck.
"No, my mother will be accompanying you," He said smiling.
"Sounds like fun," I said.
"Have your cheerleader side all pumped up?" he teased.
"Go team?" I said laughing.
"Fail," He chuckled as I shoved him lightly.
He showed me led me to the clearing surprised by how I could keep up.
"I already told you I grew up in Destiny Islands."
"So? There aren't any slow humans in Destiny Islands?" He retorted.
"I don't know, but that's not the point. The point is I'm not some couch potato," I said placing my hands behind my head.
"Really now? Would you like to play?" He asked as we actually started to arrive at the clearing.
"I would love to. But I don't want your family to feel the need to slow down because of me," I said simply.
"True, they probably wouldn't like that," He mused.
I nodded, Arieth ran over to greet us.
"Hello Sora sweety," She said petting me.
"Hiya, Mrs. Fair," I said smiling hugely.
"Well let's get these games on the road, shall we?" Roxas said kissing my forehead before he ran over to his family.
It was actually really interesting; you had to make sure your eyes were open the whole time because if you merely blinked you missed a home run or an out. They were that fast. Though it seemed like Roxas was the fastest from them all. I learned a lot about Arieth also during the game, she was transformed from Zack when she jumped off a cliff.
"My baby was only a tiny little thing when it died, poor soul. It completely broke my heart," Arieth said lightly. "That's the whole reason why I jumped. Zack found me in the hospital barely alive and now here I am."
"Are you happy now?" I asked feeling sympathy towards her.
"Of course I am! I have everything I wanted. And thanks to you my dear, all my children have everything they want also," she said holding my hand.
"What do you mean?" I asked turning my attention away from the game.
"Roxas has always been alone. And it was starting to bother me. Frankly my dear I wouldn't care if you had webbed feet are four eyes as long as you made him happy," She said giggling.
I chuckled and shook my head, "So you don't care that I'm not good for him?"
She shook her finger at me, "Now little one who told you that?"
"No one. But isn't it obvious?" I asked squeezing her hand.
She laughed, "Sora love acts in weird ways. As long as you two are happy and remain that way, there isn't anything wrong with your love."
I smiled feeling warmth spread through my chest, "Thank you,"
She shook her head hugging me, "No problem."
Demyx stopped, "Wait!"
The happiness left and brought tension.
Roxas was immediately at my side, "We need to leave."
"No that would only provoke them. Can you run to the car in 45 seconds?" Leon said placing his hand on Roxas's shoulder.
"Not carrying him," Roxas mutter looking at me.
"What? What's going on?" I asked.
"I'm sorry it was a stupid mistake to bring you here," Roxas hissed. "Stand behind me and don't move."
I obeyed looking for Arieth or Demyx hoping they could let me know what was going on but they were way ahead of the field. Instead I looked at Cloud who was standing a couple feet away from me. It didn't take him long to realize I was staring at him he returned my gaze questingly. I gave him a pleading look hoping he could mouth something.
He looked back and forth a couple times then mouthed vampires. I crooked my head to the side in confusion. But then I heard Zack talking to whoever came in the clearing.
"Hello and welcome. I'm Zack Fair and this is my family; Arieth, Cloud, Demyx, Zexion, Leon, Roxas, and Sora," I was glad he didn't pinpoint us exactly. But it made me happy to hear me be included in the family.
"Hello," the voice wickedly hissed. "I heard you playing a game. Mind if I happen to join?"
"Of course not, a couple of us were leaving anyways." Zack said queuing our leave. I turned when Roxas did but sneezed when a cold wind gusted across the clearing. Next Roxas was snarling like mountain lion his standing protectively in front of me. The other vampire snarled in return, "You brought a snack?"
"The boy is with us," Cloud said at my side.
"Of course," the vampire said standing up out of his fighting crouch. His long sliver hair ghosting around his face as his dark red eyes regarded me.
"Roxas get Sora out of here," Leon said.
"Maybe its best you leave," Zack said standing in between Roxas and the vampire. Roxas quickly picked me up and dashed away before I could here anymore.
"R-Rox?" I asked shaking once we reached the truck.
He snapped all the seat belts into place and started the car without answering. Before we left Cloud and Demyx appeared in the car.
"Were are you going to take him?" Cloud asked as Roxas speed towards the freeway.
"Away from here," Roxas snapped.
"Roxas what about my Dad? He's going to freak out if I don't get home! At least let me go tell him I'm spending the night or something!" I said panicking.
"You can't go to your house or you're going to lead him over to your Father," Roxas growled.
"Fine! Let me just call hi-" before I could finish he grabbed my cell phone and threw it at Cloud.
"Pretend your father. Tell him Sora wants to go with us camping. Convince him." Roxas ordered.
Cloud rolled his eyes but did it. I don't know how but he did.
Oh Shiva, what did I get myself into?
