Chapter 1- Ventus POV

Welcome to ATL's sequel. To any new readers I'm not telling you to go read Always Time to Love but I suggest it.

One other thing, the summary is not all encompassing. There is so much in this story I couldn't get it to fit. So bear with me as we go.

Disclaimer: I'm only saying this once, I don't nor will I ever own Kingdom Hearts. I have a copy of 1,2, chain, and 358/2 but that is, as close to owning KH as I'm ever going to get.

Warning: In ATL I had to put theses in every chapter. This time there are only a select few that will contain stuff you need to be warned of. There will be at least mentions of abuse and rape. Lot's of yaoi (meaning boy x boy loving). If you have any problems with the aforementioned I kindly ask you to leave.

Pairings: Unlike ATL I am putting in 5 (yes I mean 5) main parings. This means 5 problems within this fic. It also means if I follow the plan as it is right now I have 34 chapters to write *sigh*. This also means that I have to give everyone 'screen time' so there will be points in time where I'll end a chapter and you would like to see what happens next with a specific couple and it'll be a while before they get another chapter to themselves. If you notice these do not worry trust the author. I do chapters a certain way for a reason. Just trust me and read. Now then, here is a list of pairings ( a * next to the name means they are a major paring not just passing mentions)

Terra x Ventus *

Riku x Sora *

Axel x Roxas *

Sephiroth x Zack *

Zexion x Demyx *

Leon x Cloud

Marluxia x Larxene

Now with that long rambling moment out of the way, enjoy the first chapter! =)

"We're here!" Sora cheered jumping out of the car after the four-hour trip to Destiny Islands mainland.

I stretched and climbed over my sleeping boyfriend to start unpacking the moving trucks. Yes, I said trucks. There are nine of us moving into the dorms in this three-van caravan. Nine? Who added on to our little group? Well, Demyx, Aqua, and Xion decided to join us. Not like we mind. They've all been great friends.

"Ven, yours' and Terra's stuff is in the second truck," Cloud said getting out of the van I had been in.

"Can someone wake up the dead weight?" Marluxia yawned getting out of the third van Larxene in tow.

"I'm on it!" Zack called.

I shrugged and started unpacking the van. Terra can deal with a horrible wake up call. I opened the back of the truck and paled: of course all of Sora's shit would be in the front.

"So! Give me a hand with your crap!" I yelled.

No response, I turned around to try and locate him only to come face to face with none other than Riku. He sighed and moved passed me to get some of his and Sora's boxes.

"Need help?" Terra asked with a yawn.

"Of course," I grumbled, passing a box of Aqua's things to him, "She's on the fourth floor with us".

"I know. We all are at this point. Xion pulled some strings and is now rooming with Aqua, remember?"

"Yeah, I thought you slept the entire time?"

"Most of it."

With that Terra walked off. I shook my head in annoyance and grabbed another box, which was another box of Sora and Riku's crap. I walked away from the truck and looked back at it. This was going to be a long day.

I collapsed on top of the last box, panting from having to walk up and down four flights of steps so many times, bringing in not only my stuff, but everyone else's. To add to that, somehow Terra's and my crap was still the last stuff out.

"Tired? We still have to unpack and move furniture," Terra chuckled moving a few boxes off of his bed, "You need to start into lacrosse again. We have a team, you know".

I stuck my tongue out at him and moved away from my box. Terra chuckled, starting to move the beds into an L-shape. I helped him move the beds together and started moving the desks to the far wall while he started unpacking. Once those suckers were moved, I made my way over to the suitcases and started unpacking both of our clothing. It was starting to get dark out at this point and I was very close to just saying "Screw it!" and unpacking tomorrow.

"Don't worry we're almost done," Terra chuckled.

I growled softly and shoved the suitcase away, "I'll finish tomorrow!" I grumbled and flopped onto my bed.

I heard Terra sigh and then the sound of a few boxes being shoved under his bed. I buried my face in my pillow and closed my eyes, ready to sleep after such an exhausting day. As fate would have it, this day was not over yet. I felt the bed dip down as Terra pulled me into his arms. I smiled and nuzzled into my boyfriends chest. I smiled and let my self start to drift off to sleep.

"VEN! TERRA!" Sora yelled our door banging open suddenly.

Terra and I both jumped and landed with a thud on the ground.

"Oh, sorry. You haven't finished unpacking? Oh well. Anyways, there's a floor meeting right now. Hurry up!" With that, the brunette blur disappeared.

I looked up at Terra who was starting to stand, dusting himself off in the process. Our peace was shattered. What just happened? I must have looked as confused as I felt because Terra offered me a hand and smiled gently.

"We have to meet our RA and the rest of our floor. It won't take long," Terra assured.

I took his hand and he lifted me up, wrapping me in a soft embrace. I sighed and reached up for a kiss. He met me half way. Our moment was cut short when Axel rushed in and grabbed Terra by the arm and dragged him out.

"We're waiting on you two," Axel growled," Sora's hyped up on sugar and I for one just want to go to sleep".

I pouted and followed after them. Why can't I have a peaceful moment with my boyfriend? Well hopefully this won't take very long at all. We stepped into the boys' lounge and were met with a couple of stares. Axel practically threw Terra down next to a bouncing Sora. Something tells me Sora woke him up. I plopped down next to Terra and he sent me an apologetic smile. I just shrugged back in understanding.

"Now then," a chipper female voice started, "I'm Yuffie and I happen to be the RA for the girls side of the dorms. At the moment your RA is in the hospital and will not be able to be here until the end of the week. So for now, I get to watch the entire floor!"

It is too late to be that excited. Something tells me that Sora and Yuffie will get along great.

"Okay, I'm going to do a roll call and then go through the dorm rules. Tomorrow I expect everyone to meet in the girls' lounge at noon so we can get to know each other," Yuffie started, at what I swear was a hundred miles per hour.

I heard a chorus of groans from around the room. Tomorrow was Sunday. We don't need help from an RA to get to know each other. It's going to be one of those get in a circle and say this or say that. I hate those! Apparently I'm not the only one.

"Come on! It'll be fun! If any of you try to skip out I'll drag you there myself," Yuffie scolded.

Everyone nodded reluctantly: "Good," she continued, "now for roll call."

She started calling names. I drowned most of it out and set my head on my boyfriend's shoulder. I yawned and closed my eyes.

"He's here," Sora called jabbing me in the ribs, "Wake up."

I started, having not noticed I drifted to sleep during roll. Really I just want to go to bed.

"Alright that's everyone," Yuffie nodded putting the name list away," Now for the most important rules. First, this hall is only freshman and sophomores so there should be absolutely no alcohol. I mean none. If anyone is caught with any alcohol, they will be put on probation and have to deal with the law too. Next, this is a non-smoking building. So no cigarettes in or near the building. I also shouldn't have to say this, but no illegal substances. Quiet hours. It is to be quiet in this dorm from ten at night to seven in the morning. On weekends it's midnight to seven. Alrighty! That's all for tonight. See you tomorrow at noon. Or else".

I stood quickly and quietly. I was going to go back to my room and sleep. I pulled out my cell phone and noticed it was eleven. When did it get so late?

"VEN!" Then I was tackled by Sora.

"What!" I groaned trying to get him off of my back.

Sora wrapped one arm around my neck to hold on and held the other up in the air as if I were a bronco. I growled and sat down on the ground. Sora was not expecting that and ended up sliding right off me. I immediately jumped up and hid behind my chuckling boyfriend.

"Who gave him sugar?" I growled glaring at Riku.

Riku sighed and slumped over in defeat," He was being lazy. I didn't think one measly chocolate bar would last this long…"

"He comes off of a sugar high when said sugar wears off. He needs to burn energy," Roxas noted from the sidelines.

"You mean RIKU needs to burn his energy," I growled sending Riku another death glare.

"Come on! I'm fine! LET'S GO! I WANT TO GO OUT!" Sora called bouncing around the room.

"I'm going to bed," Axel sighed and tried to duck out of the room.

"Oh no your not," Roxas grumbled and grabbed his lovers wrist dragging him back into the room.

Axel sighed in defeat and allowed himself to be dragged around. Riku decided to try and take responsibility for his actions.

"Sora, you're going crazy. Come on. Back to the room," Riku sighed trying to drag Sora away.

Said brunette struggled as much as he could. Riku eventually got fed up with it and picked his lover up, throwing the kicking boy over his shoulder and walking away.

"Well, that's enough excitement for one night," Axel said, trying once again to move out of the room.

This time Roxas let him with a soft sigh, "I wish you luck sleeping with those two next door".

With that, Roxas also left us. It took a second for his finally statement to hit me.

"Terra… We're next door to Sora and Riku, are we not?" I muttered twitching.

"I say we bunk with Axel and Roxas. The noise will be greatly lessoned," Terra sighed.

I nodded quickly and we ran off to my younger siblings dorm room. I could already hear Sora's moans coming from the their bedroom halfway down the hall. Sometimes I wonder how the two of them can even be in a sexual relationship. But Sora and Riku love each other. I just have to remember that Sora, unlike Roxas and I, was able to completely put the past behind him. Almost like Seifer had never happened. I sighed and knocked on Roxas's door. I heard a grumble and a very pissy looking Axel opened the door for us.

"I know you're tired but could you spare the floor?" Terra asked politely.

"Roxas?" Axel called back.

"Don't care!" Roxas groaned.

Axel nodded and let us in, "Take my bed for all I care".

"Sure?" I whispered.

"Let me sleep!" Roxas growled stuffing his head under his pillow.

Axel nodded and Terra and I jumped into the extra bed. I swear even though we could hear Sora and Riku a few doors down I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Hope you all liked it. Sorry this chapter took forever and a day to get out. I 1) got stuck in the middle and 2) I'm taking an art class (ends on the 25) and it's been zapping my creative energy. I promise weekly updates though, now that it's out. So much more to come.
