~Final~

The bell rang signalling the ending of third class at Destiny High and the beginning of the lunch period. Kairi practically skipped down the hall towards her friend Sora's locker, "Hey Sora~! Are you coming to my movie night tonight?" she asked, "Sephie and Namine are coming."

"What about Riku or Roxas?"

Kairi shrugged, "Don't know. They've been hanging out a lot recently just the two of 'em."

Sora's heart clenched as an overwhelming sadness sink in, "I see."

Kairi immediately noticed the change of demeanour in her friend and flashed a smile, "Well we'll have fun without those jerks, ok?"

Sora gave his own smile, "You're right, Kai."

Kairi stalked through the halls of Destiny High determined to find the source of her best friend's misery. She has been told countless times that when the time came she would make an excellent mother. Turning the corner se spotted her prey sitting contently in the school's courtyard, her eyes narrowed.

Riku looked over in her direction smiled and waved. A smirk formed across her face but she smoothed it into a smile and ventured towards where Riku and Roxas were sitting.

"Hey Kai, what's up?" asked Riku.

Kairi rocked on the back of her feet, "Oh just planning a movie night for tonight."

"That sounds fun," said Roxas.

Kairi, "I'm renting a bunch of movies, getting snacks and all that jazz. It's just me, Namine, Sephie and Sora."

"And were not invited?" asked Riku eyebrow raised.

"Nope."

"Why not? It's not like it's a girl's night, Sora's going to be there," pointed out Roxas.

Kairi flashed her smile, "Sora's special and you guys aren't."

"What are you planning, Kai?"

"I'm not planning anything Riku, why would you think that. You and Roxas have each other, so bye!"

Riku didn't look convinced.

Leon watched as Sora ran around his room throwing clothes and other items into his backpack, "Where are you headed?"

"Kairi's invited me to her house for a movie night with Nami and Sephie."

"Only guy?"

"Yeah I'm special."

Leon chuckled, "And you plan to stay the night?"

"If you don't mind, Nii-chan."

Leon shook his head, "No I trust you."

Sora smiled pulling on his backpack, "Thanks!"

"Have a good time."

"I will, Bye Nii-chan."

"Bye."

Rinoa walked into the living room where Leon watched Sora walk down the street, "Where's Sora off to?"

"Kairi's."

"I hope this cheers him up. He seems down lately."

"Wish he would talk to one of us. But it's something he'll figure out eventually I hope."

"He's a strong little guy."

Roxas had just left Riku's house. They had played video games from the moment school finished to after dinner when Roxas finally had enough of Riku's rambling of how lucky Sora was to be in a room full of girls.

Roxas only rolled his eyes, he had told Riku countless to gather the courage and ask Kairi out. Sadly Riku was positive she had eyes for Sora.

Then there was Sora. Roxas let out a sigh. Sora had been ignoring and also going to great lengths to avoid him. Roxas couldn't think of anything that went wrong.

At first it seemed like their bond together kept getting stronger but when school started up, a wedge came between then causing them to grow apart.

"Hiya Roxas!"

"Oh hi Sephie."

"Where are you going? She asked, "I'm going to Kairi's or her movie night, do you want to come with me?"

Roxas shook his head, "I wasn't invited."

Sephie frowned, "I know why so you should come with me anyway!"

"Why?"

The girl shook her head, "I can't tell you. But you'll find if you come with me."

"Just tell me."

"Nope."

"Sephie come on."

"Ask Kairi when we get there." Sephie grabbed Roxas' hand and started pulling him down the street, "You'll thank me, you will!"

"Let go of me!"

"Sora no one's here yet. Please tell me what's wrong, and don't even start with the nothing's wrong or I'm fine because I can see right through it."

"I… don't know, Kai," admitted Sora, "I can't explain it."

Sora had left early for Kairi's house. The two friends were up in Kairi's room, talking on her bed.

"Just try," said Kairi.

"I get a hot burning feeling in my chest when Roxas is with Riku."

"You're jealous."

"Jealous?"

Kairi nodded, "You feel Riku is taking Roxas from you."

"I don't want t feel it," protested Sora, "I don't like it."

Kairi giggled, "No one likes feeling jealous."

"How do I make it stop?"

"You have to tell Roxas how you feel."

"He'll laugh or hate me."

"I think you've fallen for him."

"Fallen?"

"You love him silly. You've fallen in love."

Alarms rang through Sora's head, bits of memories floated around in his mind, "N-no… I can't… H-he couldn't…."

"Sora calm down…" Kairi wrapped her arms around his trembling frame bringing Sora closer to her.

"No one could love me like that Kai, not after what happened…"

Sephie has successfully dragged Roxas down the street to Kairi's house, her father happily let them in, "Up in Kai's room."

As the two teens reached the top floor they heard, "No one could love me like that Kai, not after what happened."

Roxas felt confused and angry at how Sora was talking about himself. He made his way to go into Kairi's room but Sephie stopped him and put her finger to her lip.

Not even two seconds later, "How could you ever say that about yourself, Sora?" asked Kairi.

"It's true! I-I've been used!"

"It was against your will! No one could ever hold that against you!"

"…"

"People usually have multiple partners before settling down."

"It doesn't matter anyway, because he doesn't like me."

Kairi sighed, "Stop changing the subject."

"Roxas is with Riku anyway…"

"Riku is straight Sora and Roxas doesn't like Riku like that."

"You don't know that."

"Neither do you! Ask him!"

"I can't."

The door to Kairi's room opened angrily revealing Sora and Kairi close behind him. Roxas didn't know how to act, "How could you…" he started.

"How long have you been there?" interrupted Sora, fresh tear sliding down his cheeks.

"Sora wait I…"

Sora shook his head and flew down the stairs and out the front door, "Better go after him," said Kairi, "If you hurt him I'll break your legs."

Roxas quickly followed after Sora.

He could hardly breathe as he ran through the street. Sora needed to get home and hide away from everyone. He didn't want to talk anymore just disappear.

"Sora!" He heard Roxas continue to call his name but he didn't want to talk to anyone let alone Roxas the cause of his current hurt. He closed his eyes begging the tears and Roxas to go away.

"Wait, Sora please!"

Sora stopped running but refused to turn around to face Roxas. He listened to the pounding of feet stop right behind him. Sora soon found himself embraced by Roxas's arms, "H-how could you say such horrible things about yourself?"

"It's true," Sora whispered.

Roxas shook his head, "No it's not you have so many people who care about you, who love you."

"It's a different love."

"Sora… I…"

Sora covered his ears, "I don't want to hear it!"

"You need to."

"No I don't!" screamed Sora breaking into a new set of tears falling to his tears, "I can't."

Roxas walked around Sora, kneeled down, "I love you."

Sora shook his head, "Liar."

Roxas brought Sora back onto his feet, "I love you, Sora."

"You're lying."

Roxas embraced Sora tightly kissing his head, "I really love you."

Sora cried as he hugged Roxas back, "I love you," he whispered.

AN: Did you like it? I hope so. I thought the ending was cute because Sora isn't exactly over what happened to him but he's moving past the horrific events he had to endure. And Roxas is there to help him. PLEASE REVIEW and tell me what you liked and what you didn't like, if there's more you would like to be explained.

Lots of love,
