Yes, I'm making a new story… But it was killing me, and I had to. D: Besides, maybe this one will give me more inspiration to keep me writing my other ones! :D I'm going to try and balance them all, so that might take a little time… But I'll try to more often!

Well, I do not own Kingdom Hearts, AND I NEVER WILL, nor do I own the songs that I use. Please enjoy! :D

.

.Roxas.

I stretched my arms as I sat up and yawned loudly. I looked over at the calendar and smiled, ripping the sheets of my body and dashing out of my bed and into the bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth and did my business, then ran into the kitchen. I got a few pans and bowls from the sleek black cabinets and set them on the white, marble countertop and got the stainless steel stove to start heating up. I headed over to the large refrigerator and grabbed a handful of ingredients, put them next to the cooking items, and got a few things from the pantry.

I couldn't seem to release the smile from my face, and my God I swear that if anyone could see me they'd think I was crazy. I hummed softly as I mixed the ingredients around in the bowl, and poured the now mixed contents onto the hot pan. I turned around and whistled.

"Naminé! Get up, I'm making breakfast already!" I heard a loud moan, only knowing what that meant. I turned back around and started flipping the pancake, satisfied with it showing off a perfectly golden side. "Nami, you know I'm not taking that today! Now get your lazy ass out of bed before I make you!" I waited a bit, staring at the pancake frying on the other side. I sighed when I heard no response, and put the pancake on a plate. I stomped down the hall and opened Naminé's door loudly, hearing her groan once again as she pulled the blanket over her head. I glared at her and walked over, pulling the blankets off of her head and pointed a stern finger at her.

"No." She sighed as she opened a drowsy eye and looked over at the clock, her eyebrows scrunched up.

"Roxas," Her tired, croaky voice spoke. "It's four ten in the morning…" Now both of her eyes were open, but she still had her head resting on the pillow. I put my hands on my hips and leaned down close to her face.

"Naminé," I started, mimicking her voice which only made her smile and roll her eyes. "It's four… eleven in the morning, and we're already going to get stuck in a huge ass line. Actually, the line started at this time yesterday, now move your fat ass and go eat some breakfast that I made with fat ass-y love." She laughed and sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"Man, you sure do have a thing for adding 'ass' to every sentence in the morning… I'll be right there, I'm going to brush my teeth." Naminé spoke, getting out of her bed and walked over to the bathroom. I smiled and walked back out, heading back to the kitchen. I shoved the one pancake in my mouth since it was already getting cold, and continued to make the rest. Naminé soon came in, grabbed a plate and put around six pancakes on her plate, which I gave her wide eyes for.

"Whoa, you're really hungry, good thing I made a lot of batter…" I spoke, while she laughed. She went to the pantry and grabbed some syrup, then went to the little breakfast bar and sat down on a tall stool, pouring syrup on her pancakes.

"I think it's the extreme earliness…" She said, laughing lightly. I smiled as I ran over to the pantry, grabbing a packet of little chocolate chips. I poured the batter onto the pan, and put a few chocolate chips in them. I turned around to see Namine with her mouth wide open. She then closed it, turned herself to face me, pouted and then pointed at me.

"You're mean! You know how much I love chocolate chip pancakes!" I laughed as I turned back to flip the pancake, then rolled my eyes.

"Relax, Nami, I'll give you one." She then smiled and before I knew it, she was behind me, holding her plate in her hands.

"Good! 'Cause I already finished mine." I gave her wide eyes as she giggled, then proceeded to flip the pancake onto her plate and watched as her grin became wide and toothy. She was just so immature sometimes!

.

I had already eaten and so had Naminé, and the amount that she ate was truly scaring because she barley ate in the morning. It also made me get ready later than I expected, because I had to cook a lot more than I would have ever imagined. But after she finally decided on not eating anymore, we both went to each of our bathrooms and took showers.

Naminé wore a dark grey, strapless dress with hot pink flowers printed on it, some stockings that matched the color of the flowers and grey ankle boots with small heels. Her blonde hair was in low, messy braid, which looked nice since it was loose and small.

I wore a loose black tank with thin turquoise and light grey horizontal stripes. I had grey skinny jeans on and grey and black checkered Vans. I gelled up my hair in my usual style and Nami and I headed out. We made it just on time and got to the bus, and got inside. A lot of guys made cat calls towards Nami, and she just clung onto me. Well, they could've been for me, too, but I highly doubt it.

After that, we finally got to where we wanted to be and as soon as I touched the ground, I picked Nami up and ran towards the line, where there was a giant sign that read 'Kingdom Idol auditions'. The line didn't seem nearly as big as I thought it would be, but that made it even better. I put her down, and as manly as I am, I squealed, flailed my arms around, hugged Nami and pecked her on the cheek as I smiled madly. She just laughed and put her hands on my shoulders, giving them a tight grip.

"Roxas, calm down! You should use that energy later!" She said, giggling. I laughed nervously while I rubbed the back of my head, shrugging.

"Sorry! I'm just really excited!" I said, my smile still not disappearing. Nami just smiled, but then made a serious face.

"Hey, but remember, Marly doesn't like it when you kiss me." I stopped smiling and immediately frowned. I'm happy and excited, and she ruins it by mentioning her creepy boyfriend, Marluxia. Gross. I hate him, can't stand him. He's a twenty-nine year old creeper that wants to get into an innocent, nineteen year old girl's pants. I crossed my arms.

"Fuck Marly. He's a creep, and I'm your best friend. He has bad intentions, and I don't. Get it right, sweetheart." Naminé made a sad smile, and walked forward more as everyone else did. She then turned back around and raised one of her thin, blonde eyebrows.

"Roxas, he's not a creep and he's not getting into my pants, he knows that I still don't want to do that kind of stuff. And I know that you don't have any wrong intentions, and after all you are my best friend, but he just doesn't like that you do that!" I placed my hands on my hips and held my head high, looking down on her.

"He is a creep, and I know he's not getting into your pants, or he'd be dead. And he'd better know that, I will not tolerate any kind of inappropriate touching. And I just hug you and kiss you on the cheek, I don't grab your ass, grab your boobs or lick your ears or anything like that." Nami laughed a bit, rolling her eyes. I hugged from behind once again, cuddling near her ear. You know, just to piss her off. I made this, kind of like Perry the Platypus noise, but you know, more seductive like. …If that's possible. She sighed and squirmed around in my arms.

"Roxas, you're doing that on purpose." I continued to make the noises, trying not to laugh as I did. I succeeded at that, but Nami didn't. Her slightly angry and annoyed face turned into a relaxed, happy one. I smiled.

"I win!" I exclaimed, pecking her on each cheek, just to annoy her some more. She continued to smile but muttered something to herself and I let go. She turned to face me, hands on her hips and she tried to hide her smile with her serious face, but I could still see through it.

"Roxas. Seriously, please stop that. It's alright if you hug me, but please stop kissing me." I crossed my arms once again and rolled my eyes, looking at her seriously. She had now stopped to try smiling, because she finally got serious. I sighed and put my hands and her shoulders as I pushed her forward in the line. As I stopped her I looked down at her and put my hands in my jeans pockets.

"Naminé," I rarely ever said her name unless I was being serious. I would always call her Nami, or sometimes Ney-Ney, or some stupid other name. Her eyes left mine as she started fiddling with her fingers, seeing that I was now serious. "Seriously, you have no need to worry about that. You know me and you should trust me, and you should trust yourself. We already had our chance and if I wanted it again I would tell you, but I don't because I honestly prefer us being best friends. I'm not going to rape you in your sleep or anything." I noticed a shy smile appear on her lips and I hugged her once again, but this time from the front, and she hugged me back. I smiled and kissed the top of her head, then picked her up and ran as the line got smaller.

.

"Can I scream yet?"

"No, not until we actually get inside and hear what the judges have to say."

"Hmph!"

We had finally made it inside, and we weren't even outside for that long, maybe about an hour and a little more, but that's it. Nami and I already had out numbers pinned to our chests, and I was now more excited than I had ever been my whole life. Except Nami wouldn't let me express it. Boo.

We were now sitting in chairs, but I was so anxious I felt like running, flailing my arms around and screaming, but I think they'd call security if I did that, and there'd go my dream. I constantly whipped my head around, looking at the people that came inside and got their number, looking at the ones that were about to go in and were talking to the cameras and the ones that came out, either shouting with excitement or spoke with disappointment. I really hoped that Nami and I weren't any of those people, because I wanted her and I to fulfill our dreams. It would also suck if she made it and I didn't, or if I made it and she didn't. And if it was the latter, I wouldn't do it. Even if I would have to give it up, I'd do it for her. No way I was going to leave her for my dream! I would find something else to do!

But I tried to stay optimistic, thinking that we would both make it. I felt my stomach churn and butterflies explode and puke all inside my stomach, because instead of having butterflies roam around in there, it feels more like puke and explosion, so that's how I considered it. I bit my lip and flicked my head over in Nami's direction, and grabbed her hand and squeezed it. It caught her attention, and at first she looked surprised but then smiled and squeezed my hand back. It calmed me for a bit, but then the butterflies not only puked and exploded inside my stomach, it also seemed like the had some serious diarrhea. Damn butterflies, they gross me out.

Then, it happened. They called our numbers. I turned towards Naminé and she smiled and stood up, grabbing my hand. I shot up and ran as I pulled her behind me, only hearing her giggle. I barely seemed to notice that I had a wide, toothy smile spread across my face. I made my way over to the host, who had spiky, jet black hair and bright blue eyes. He smiled and it seemed completely genuine.

"Hey there! I'm Zack, the host of Kingdom Idol! Who are you two?" I smiled and turned my hand towards Nami, looking over at her.

"Ladies first!" She smiled and giggled, looking at Zack.

"I'm Naminé Snow! Nice to meet you." Nami said, while Zack smiled and returned the greeting. He then turned over to me and I smiled and took my hand out, and he shook it.

"Roxas Strife, nice meeting you!" He smiled and returned it once again. He then stood back as the cameras got a little closer to us, and I tried not to spazz out.

"So are you guys prepared? Do you think you can make it to Hollow Bastion?" I looked over at Nami, who shyly smiled and I looked back, figuring that I would have to respond myself.

"Uh, a little! And I sure do hope that we can both make it! 'Cause I'm not going anywhere without her!" I said, smiling. Nami looked over and me and 'aw'ed, and squeezed my hand. Zack continued to ask a few questions, then finally sent us inside.

I swear I was going to have a heart attack or something. My heart was beating extremely fast, and the butterflies started exploding, puking, diarrhea-ing and rotting in my stomach. Damn them. Nami never had the intention of letting go of my hand, and I'm glad, because then it would've been worse. Knowing that she was there made me feel a lot better, but I still felt weird inside. Before I knew it we were already standing in the middle of the audition room, and the three judges were looking at us.

To the far right was a guy with dirty blonde hair, styled up like half a Mohawk and half a mullet, with two strands of hair falling to his face. He had green eyes and pale skin, and looked slightly immature.

In the middle was a pretty woman that had long, straight brown hair with bangs that almost covered her hazel eyes. Her hair was in a high ponytail and she rested her chin in her right palm.

And to the left was a man with steel blue hair, and extremely long bangs that covered his right eye, only revealing his left, aqua eye. Out of all of the judges, he looked like the most serious, and possibly even a little frightening. The woman in the middle smiled and put her hands down, closing them.

"Hello! You two are…?" I smiled and pointed to Nami, then to myself, but I still held her hand.

"She's Naminé and I'm Roxas." The woman smiled and the mullet man leaned forward, smiled and pointed at the both of us.

"You two a couple? You guys look so cute!" He spoke up, a bubbly expression on his face. Nami and I laughed and shook our heads.

"No, no! We're just best friends! For quite a while now, actually!" Nami said, smiling at them. The blonde and the brunette smiled, while the blue haired man looked at us seriously.

"And you two will be singing…?" Nami and I looked over at each other, smiled then looked back.

"Utopia, by Within Temptation. We'll be starting from after the first chorus." I said. They all nodded, and I gave Nami's hand another tight squeeze and then Nami began to sing; the adrenaline rushed through my veins as I sang along with her.

I couldn't help but smile like an idiot. I felt like a kid on Christmas when he had finally gotten the toy he longed for so long. All the judges were smiling, and I grabbed Nami and embraced her from behind, resting my chin on her head as she smiled as well. The judges whispered a few things, which sort of killed me. Nami and I swayed there in our embrace, and I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, now feeling a little uneasy as the brunette smiled.

"Naminé, you have an extremely beautiful voice, it's graceful and strong, it's pure and simply amazing," Nami smiled and thanked her, and that's when I got a knot in my stomach. Where they going to just say yes to Nami and not to me? It certainly felt that way, but I remained quiet and frowned before the woman continued. "Now Roxas, we feel that your voice was a bit more quiet. But we're going to be fair and let you sing another song, but by yourself. Is that alright?" I hesitated, but I managed to nod quickly. I let myself go from Nami, and released her hand as I stood closer and thought of a song that I could sing. The blonde smiled.

"Dude, any song. Take your time!" I smiled at how kind they were and thanked them. I sighed and closed my eyes, breathing before I heard myself start singing. As my voice rang in the empty room, I felt more confident. Of course, I still kept my eyes closed, but I would open them every now and then. As the song came to an end, I slowly opened my eyes once more to look over at the judges.

They all smiled, looked at each other and nodded. I swear I could've screamed. The blue haired man smirked and flicked his bangs a little, leaning over.

"Now that was much better. I think you could still work a little on getting some more self confidence when you sing, but that went extremely well." They talked among themselves once again, but I didn't really hear them because two of them looked oddly familiar to me. Then, a bulb lighted up above my head.

"Oh! I just remembered who you guys are!" I said, surprising everyone from my sudden outburst, and I smiled and pointed towards the aqua eyed man. "You're Zexion, a famous manager from the label company called The Castle That Never Was," I started, getting him to smile a little, then pointed to the brunette. "You're Katoka, a famous singer from a weird country," She burst out in a wide smile and a fit of giggles, while I smiled back and pointed to the blonde, then my smile erasing. He seemed to be excited, but I slowly lowered my hand then brought it up to my chin. "And, uh… I don't really know who you are…" He automatically frowned, looking like a capitol d with a colon next to it. I laughed nervously and rubbed the back of my head, while Katoka laughed and pointed at him. He swatted her hand away and turned back towards me, trying to look serious, which he kind of failed at. Like, hard.

"I am Demyx, you might know me as one of the most famous sitar players ever." Nami and I blinked, not responding. He sighed and hid his face in his hands. "You know what? You're both going to Hollow Bastion! Now please, go before I-" I yelled and squeezed Nami tight, while she also had screamed in joy. I think Katoka had hit Demyx, because I hard a slap then a yelp but I didn't really pay much mind to it, because I was too busy jumping around with Nami. As soon as she and I let go, we both looked over and smiled like two year olds.

"Thank you so much!" We spoke in unison, hugging each individual judge. They smiled and shooed us off, and I picked Nami out and ran out the door. Zack interrogated us, but then we quickly walked off. Nami stopped me and looked to some other place, as soon as I turned my head, she whispered in my ear.

"Look to the left…Do you think we should help him?" I looked over to the left, but subtly. There was an extremely tall, thin redhead with gravity defying spikes and green eyes, he was wearing dark red skinny jeans and a tight, black long sleeved shirt and black sneakers. In front of him was a guy about the same height as him, but way bulkier. He was blonde with grey eyes, had on a dirty red shirt, normal jeans and white sneakers. The bulkier one was almost yelling and the redhead looked pissed, trying to get him to shut up. I looked back at Nami and nodded.

"But how?" I whispered back. Nami held up a finger and walked towards them, I followed closely behind her. She walked up to the both of them and cleared her throat. The redhead seemed a little relieved, but the blonde seemed to have gotten more pissed.

"Excuse me… You are…?" She asked, waiting for him to reply. He rolled his eyes.

"Henry McHale. What the hell do you want?" I growled, but remained where I was or else he would know something weird was up. Nami nodded and continued. She seemed pretty calm.

"Yeah, I was just making sure. I'm positive that someone said that your car was getting messed up, you know, people throwing rocks at it and painting it with graffiti and stuff like that…" The redhead seemed amused, and the blonde's eyebrows raised up, then scrunched together and pulled his fingers in to make a fist, then ran, muttering a rather load 'shit'. I quickly ran over to the redhead, grabbing his wrist.

"You sing yet?" He nodded, but seemed confused. Nami lightly pushed him forward as I pulled him along.

"Good, because we're saving you from that meat-head." She said, then grabbed his other wrist and the both of us pulled him, not letting him even speak. I was afraid that he'd be pissed and would yell, but he smiled and actually ran with us.

"Hell yeah! Thanks! Now let's move it before he gets back!" We continued to run out of there, but were all silent and looking around for that Henry guy, and luckily, he wasn't around. We made it to the bus stop and sat down as we waited for it to arrive. Nami smiled.

"Where do you live?" He didn't look back at her, he just folded his arms behind his head and proceeded to stretch, letting out a load yawn. Nami smiled as he then proceeded to face her and smile.

"I live downtown, with that guy you called a 'meat-head'. Why?" Nami frowned and looked at me and I also frowned.

"I don't think you'll be okay there, the guy seems pretty rough." I said. The redhead shrugged, then Nami smiled and leaned in front of him.

"What about you live with us? And I already saw that you got the paper thingy to go to Hollow Bastion, so you could go with us then! I don't think there'd be any problem! Roxas?" I shook my head and smiled.

"Not at all! And if you end up hating us you could just leave us as soon as we get to Hollow Bastion!" I said. He laughed and looked at Nami then at me.

"I don't think that'd be a problem. That's really nice of you guys, thanks! By the way, since we didn't really introduce ourselves yet, I'll go first. The name's Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?" Nami laughed and nodded.

"I'm Naminé! But you can call me Nami!" She said with that bright smile of hers. He nods then turns to me and I smile.

"I'm Roxas. …I don't really like nicknames." I said. Axel raised an eyebrow then laid back.

"Nah, don't like that answer. I'll call you Roxy. You know, like that brand for girls." I frowned and was about to protest, but then the bus came. We all got on and sat down, and since there was not a lot of room, I had Nami sit on my lap. She had refused at first, but then decided to sit down since I got quite annoying. Axel looked at us then cracked an evil looking smile.

"You two got something here?" He asked, moving his hand around in a motion towards us. Nami laughed and I smiled and rolled my eyes, shaking my head.

"That's, like, the millionth time we've got asked that today. When we were in line, a lot of people asked, as soon as we got inside people asked, Zack asked and even one of the judges asked. But no, we're not. We're best friends. That's it." I said, while Nami nodded. Axel made an 'o' with his mouth, but it seemed fake, like he didn't believe us.

"But I believe there has to be a reason why everyone thinks that…" He started, smirking. I sighed. That's kind of my fault, you know, being so cuddly and close with Nami. It's the way I act that people always ask, but then after a while Nami kind of got over it. …I think.

"There is, and that's because Roxas here doesn't have anyone to cuddle, so he'll cuddle me," Nami started while I frowned at her and she giggled. "Besides, we dated for three years and broke up early last year. It just never got awkward for us." Nami explained. I hummed. Axel looked confused.

"Dude, how old are you guys?" I laughed. I guess since Nami told him that we dated for four years he was a little surprised. Nami smiled.

"We're both nineteen." Axel opened his mouth once again, then nodded.

"You guys were pretty young then, huh? Kind of surprising that you guys lasted that long, knowing young kids and all." I nodded.

"And that's been the longest relationship I've ever been in, all my other ones last a month or less. I'm kind of slutty." I said, laughing. Axel smiled but had his eyebrows scrunched together, pretty much in disbelief. He looked up at Nami, who nodded seriously.

"He's not joking. He's a huge man-whore, except these last few months he's been having a dry streak." Nami said, laughing as I glared at her. Axel laughed as well.

"I never would've guessed a little dude like you would be a slut!" He said. I smiled and rolled my eyes.

"That's what blue eyes, blonde hair and a pretty face can do to you!" I said, winking. He laughed and I saw Nami making a face, then rolled my eyes. "Except for Nami. 'Cause she's blonde with blue eyes and absolutely gorgeous and she's no slut." I said, which made her smile. Axel sat back and lifted his left leg and put his ankle above his right knee.

"I'm more relaxed, you know? I'm twenty four and I'm pleased by the smallest things, I don't exactly go around partying or getting drunk or whatever. That's Henry's thing, not mine." Nami nodded. The bus then stopped and we looked over at Axel, seeing if it was his stop or not. He nodded and we got up and walked onto the street, heading over to some apartment buildings.

.

"Holy shit. You guys are nineteen and live here alone?" Axel's mouth dropped and the duffle bags he held in each hand fell. I just laughed and picked them up, walking into the living then down the hall, opened a door and put them on the bed. Axel had made it quick to grab his stuff, just so he wouldn't run into Henry. And we were lucky, too, because as soon as we got back on the bus we saw Henry walking into the apartment building. Axel had managed to shove pretty much all of his clothes and necessities into the two, large duffle bags, which was good.

Axel had followed me into the room and seemed to be in awe. I never really thought that the condo was all that, but compared to Axel's apartment… it was all that. He then proceeded to throw himself face- first onto the bed, which had a tempur-pedic mattress, and moaned with pleasure, I believe. …That didn't sound wrong at all.

"So you can get settled here, and just so you know every time that we have to go to Hollow Bastion we'll just go there by train, and always come back here. It's not that long of a distance and that way we won't have to pay for a hotel or anything. That good?" He hummed slowly, seeming to be enjoying the bed. I smiled and walked out, closing the door behind me. I walked into the living room and plopped myself down onto the sofa, kicking my shoes off and lying my whole body down. I sighed with relief. My legs where killing me, and it was already six thirty. Nami then appeared from the kitchen, already haven taken off her heels. She had her phone in her hand and sat down next to me, sighing with a small smile upon her lips.

"Axel in his room?" I nodded. I continued to look at the TV, and awkwardly looked back at Nami while she stared at me with this creepy smile.

"You alright there, Nami…?" I asked, unsure. She nodded slowly. I hummed, but scrunched my eyebrows together, I got this weird vibe in my body. Something was up.

"Oh, yeah, I'm good!" She said. I nodded extremely slowly. I opened my mouth but she beat me to it. "Axel's… He's pretty handsome, don't you think?" She said, whispering. I automatically shot up, my hands behind me and propped against the sofa's cushion, holding me up. I frowned and still had my eyebrows scrunched together.

"Nami…" I started, but then I remained quiet. From Axel's room came a loud, but harmonious, pure and simply amazing voice. It sent chills down my spine and my mouth opened, but no sound came out. I was stunned, I sat there, frozen.

This just got interesting.

And scene! :D Sorry, This chapter was kind of boring, but it's always to start and inform, I don't really know how to make first chapters extremely exciting… P: I liked the very last part, though! :D

Now… Please review. …Please? D: But I disapprove of flames, I would like nice, pretty reviews that make me happy. Not ones that stress me out and get me uninspired. So please, if you liked it, review and help me get more inspired and the second chapter will come soon enough. :D

EDIT NOTE: So, those who are new to the story, welcome! Thanks for reading and hopefully you'll like it. Just wanted to say that sometimes things will be a little more childish than they should be (to be rated M, at least) but I had to change the rating due to future scenes and words, I also had to get rid of the lyrics. But, hopefully you'll enjoy it, nonetheless!
