A/N: Hey! I'm back with something new and hopefully short! I'm thinking between 5 to 10 chapters but that all depends on how much content I put into them and if the flow goes nicely and to my liking. I will not give any guarantees _ This was partially inspired by Ootsuki Mui's manga, Calling. It is great but for mature audiences so be prepared for some good loving yaoi my reader's ;3 You can definitely google and find it easily. I feel kind of bad that I wrote this despite already having a ton of stories already left unfinished but I had the urge to do it!

Today was finally the day, thought a very unusually happy brunette. Though he was always a bouncing ball of cheerfulness in front of his coworkers, today was special and there was no way he could contain the growing excitement beating in his chest as he performed his duties with an abundant amount of enthusiasm. In the industry the blue eyed male worked in, there was a seriousness to be held in his profession. Indeed he performed his tasks with ease and great consistency; never one to slack off at all and because of his reliably in the job he gained respect from everyone around him.

Working twice as diligently today, the brunette completed his work quickly and without too much complication thank goodness. Finally tucking away the last of the equipment into the studio's storage room, he locked up the door and returned to the main office. Placing the keys on the hook and gathering his belongings, Sora moved swiftly and ran out of the room in a flash.

"Hey Sora! Where are you going in such a hurry?" Demyx shouted from behind the brunette, effectively stopping the blue eyed and baby faced twenty-one year old in his tracks.

"I thought you'd want to join us at Tifa's place? It is Friday night after all." Riku added as he stopped to stand next to his blond haired friend. Flipping his silver hair back, the male crossed his arms.

Sora frowned, his brows tightening together as he tried not to glare at the group. "I'd love to join you, really I do but I have someone important to meet up with."

"What?" this caught Riku's attention and for a moment he let the shock settle on his normally stoic features. "Who could be so important that you'd miss a Friday night of drinking with your buddies?" The silverette barked with a commanding sound in his voice.

"Well, well, well—do I detect a hint of jealously over here?" another voice joined in with an obvious smirk on his face.

"Hey Axel! Sora over here isn't joining us tonight, says he's got someone more 'important' than us to hang out with." Demyx teased, causing the young brunette to blush.

"Quit it! You guys wouldn't understand!

Shoving his hand into the front of his pocket, Sora gripped his phone and pulled it out. He read the time, 5:27pm on the screen. There was roughly three minutes left before he was supposed to arrive, if anything he'd probably be early Sora thought to himself. Slipping the device back into his jeans, he returned his gaze to the group. "Look, I'm in a hurry." Sora muttered quickly before turning heel and running out towards the front doors of the building but not without having Riku chase after him into the parking lot.

"Hey! Can't you at least explain who it is that you're seeing tonight?"

Following closely behind, Demyx and Axel stopped in their tracks just a foot away from their silverette friend as they all stared down at their younger companion. It was made no secret that their dear friend Riku was completely and utterly infatuated with the young male brunette. Axel thought it was almost unhealthy of him, but Demyx on the other hand found it rather romantic. Really it was quite a show to see the usually apathetic star fall head over heels in love with their baby faced Sora every time he entered the room—but to see his demeanor grow restless with panic like this was something they were not prepared for. Still, they both had to wonder in that moment, how in the world Sora could be so damn oblivious to the silverette's past and present advancements.

The tension was unfortunately getting worse by the second between the four friends the more the silence dragged on. Before Sora could open his mouth and confess, the low growl of a motorcycle came thundering into the parking lot. This immediately stole the group's attention and Sora released a heavy sigh of relief he didn't know he had in him as he watched his savior ride across the lot towards him.

To everyone's surprise, a blond haired male was sitting coolly on the slick black motorcycle, his golden locks swaying back and forth with the gentle breeze. His goggles added even more to the mysteriousness of his sudden appearance and everyone except Sora couldn't help but stare in shock with their mouths open. Quickly swerving his vehicle—the cyclist came to an abrupt halt and in that time frame, Sora bolted from his place and jumped right onto the seat behind the blond.

"I'm sorry to break it to you guys but like I said before, I'm in a hurry!" Sora shot them an apologetic look before wrapping his arms tightly around the blonde's waist.

Taking that as a sign to go, the blond cyclist nodded, and just as quickly as he came, he was gone within seconds along with their blue eyed and baby faced brunette.

Riku stood there wide eyed with his feet planted in place. Demyx and Axel on the other hand just blinked in their confusion and took less than a moment or two to breathe in and replay the scene in their heads. As the two exchanged concerned looks with each other, Demyx finally braved the ominous waters and snapped his fingers in front of the silverette's face.

"Riku! Hey Riku! Come on say something?"

At first the two friends were met with silence for a long time until finally a breathless curse slipped from between the stoic male's thin lips. "What the fuck?" he said. "Just who the fuck was that!" this time yelling so loudly that Demyx squealed and Axel was shaken from the sudden shout that he jumped back.

"Maybe he was a friend?"

"Or a secret boyfriend?" Axel added which earned him a nice jab in the stomach from the blonde's elbow.

"Secret boyfriend?" Riku's brow twitched. "I'm his best friend! If there was anything about boyfriends or, or—" Dare he say it, "Girlfriends… I'd be the first one to know! And I did not know who the hell that was!"

"There's gotta be a good reason why Sora never mentioned him before. Just give the guy some space Riku, he'll come around, probably on Monday when he comes back in for work." Demyx tried to reason but the look on the silverette's face told him otherwise.

"Now see here!" Axel swung an arm around Riku's shoulder, pulling the shorter male against him. "Let's just forget this happened for a moment, head on over to Tifa's bar, order the strongest drink she has and party the night away. You can mope around about this at a later time but right now you just need to lose yourself with your friends and forget about your little obsession for a few hours."

Riku wanted nothing more than to abject and do exactly that, which is to mope around and drink alone but his red headed friend's logic got the better of him and all he could do was nod his head and be lead away to his friend's car.

"Onward to 7th Heaven!"

-x-x-x-

The two arrived shortly in front of a two story baby blue colored house. Turning the ignition off as they stopped right on the driveway, Sora swung his leg over the seat without any hesitation and hopped down right onto the concrete.

"Thanks for saving me back there. I really thought I was a goner." He laughed as he produced a lanyard from the side pocket of his backpack and began the quick trek towards the front door.

"No problem." The blond replied. Pulling his goggles down, he looked up at the other male to reveal a pair of brilliant deep blue eyes similar to the brunette's.

Sora stopped once he turned the key and heard the lock click open. With his back still turned towards the blond, he looked sadly down at his feet. "You know, when you came into the parking lot riding on Fenrir, I almost thought you were Cloud for a second. You always did look more like him than me Roxas."

"I guess." Running his fingers through the spiky locks of his golden hair, the blond finally descended from his seat on the motorcycle and made his way over to the front door. "We're fraternal twins Sor, even though I look like Cloud you're still my twin and that will never change." He said placing a hand on the other's shoulder.

"Yeah, I know." Looking up, Sora pushed the door open. "I'll get the garage open so you can put Fenrir inside. Just wait a sec okay?" he said happily as he kicked his shoes off and ran inside. Only a moment later, the garage door slid up and just pulling onto the pavement behind the blond came a U-Haul truck packed full of Roxas' belongings much to the blonde's delight.

"You finally made it! What took you so long? I thought that you'd be here before me at the very least."

Bouncing out from the passenger's side came a rather plum looking male with a bandana tied around his forehead to keep his black hair up and out of his eyes. Grinning, he hurried over to the blond. "Sorry Rox, Hayner here thought that he knew the way just fine without a GPS. He was totally wrong unfortunately. Luckily I was there to lead the way just in case he took a wrong turn."

The two of them laughed and no sooner did their giggles fill the air they were quickly silenced by the sudden attack of a flying shoe that hit the pavement next to their feet.

"Shut up Pence! I knew what I was doing and I didn't need some hand held screen telling me where this and that is!" a sharp voice snapped, causing the two friends to look up and hold their failed laughter in.

"Hey the truck's here!" Sora came up behind the three wearing a plain white T-shirt and a pair of his old gym shorts. "Now, how about we quit bickering and start unpacking huh? Because the faster we bring Mr. College Boy's stuff into the house the faster we'll be able to get down to some grub!"

Pulling his shoe back onto his foot, Hayner jumped and with a grin ran back to the truck to release the door. "Food is a man's number one incentive you guys!"

"I ordered some pizza from Phil's Pizzeria a moment ago so be ready for some of that and a couple bottles of some nice cold beer!"

"Pizza and beer? That sounds great to me!" Pence added before strolling back over to help Hayner start unloading the first of Roxas' many boxes of junk from the truck.

"Hey Sor, I never got to tell you that it's really great to be back home." Roxas turned and smiled at his twin which earned him a smile similar to his own.

"It's great to finally have you back Rox, you really don't know how much I've missed you, both you and Cloud." Sora replied almost sadly as he reminisced on a flash of childhood memories.

Opening his mouth to speak, Roxas stopped once he heard the sound of Hayner yelling again in the background accompanied by Pence's pathetic excuses. Seeing his two friends argue, the blond shook his head. "We'll talk more about it later Sor, right now we have a long task ahead of us."

"Ah, don't remind me bro."

-x-x-x-

Riku had downed just about three glasses of Tifa's special brew. By the time he reached for his forth the silverette was well beyond the first stages of drunkenness much to the bar owner's concern. In no time he found himself slurring his words and jumping back and forth in an awkward emotional state between bubbly and loud until finally he was slumped over on the table in tears. Axel was buzzed that's for sure but not as bad as Riku while Demyx on the other hand sat drinking a glass of soda instead of his usual girly drinks of alcohol and juice in order to stay sober enough to drive everyone home.

Yawning, the red head stretched his arms, "Man I need to unwind tonight. You know that Xemnas had me come in all week? He worked me to the bone! I don't remember the last time he had me fucking like six or seven people in one week! Jeez, I almost thought I couldn't cum today because I've been so drained from all the photo-shoot's and quick blow scenes alone."

"Seriously? You know you could have just said no? You are one of the top five actors at the studio after all." Demyx said with a smirk.

"Yeah, I know but I need some extra cash for the cross country road trip I'm doing in next summer, remember? It's not easy when gas prices are skyrocketing and don't forget about motel, food and shopping Dem. That stuff ain't cheap either y'know."

Chuckling, Demyx finished his soda. Shaking the empty glass with the ice cubes rattling against the walls of the cup, Tifa came around to refill his drink. "Right, right. Who'd you get this week anyways Ax? Besides having me on Tuesday."

The red head released a heavy sigh. "I got Larxene of all people, her along with Marluxia and Saix. Also there was some newbie named Vanitas and two others but I can't remember. But damn that Vanitas, I swear for a newcomer he is seriously masochistic." Axel shivered from the memory. "I don't think I'll want to screw him ever again! You can't pay me enough to do it!" he shouted. "Oh I almost forgot, apparently Xemnas wants me to film with Zexion next week."

"Zexion!" The blond exclaimed rather surprisingly.

"Yeah, Mr. Emo guy."

"He isn't emo! He's just—he's just a deep introverted person…"

"Well for being introverted, it's no wonder why he's one of the top five as well." Axel smirked. "You're just like Riku, except this time your Sora is Zexion."

"Shut up Axel! It's not our fault we have the optimism to actually love someone while doing this kind of work. You've been in the business longer than any of us have and I'm amazed that you have yet to fall in love with any of the people you've slept with." Demyx snapped.

"Well excuse me for having a heart of stone Dem. Really I can't afford to fall in love with anyone, especially another porn star like myself. It's just too…" the red head paused.

"Too what? Just too what?"

"I don't know!" Axel finally said as he threw his arms up into the air.

"I think—I reelly, reelly think he's just—too afraid because he can't handle it if he's not the only one screwing the guy or girl." Riku slurred with his head still pressed against the bar table.

This made Axel glare at his drunken friend. "Can it Riku! Look, I just can't explain it Dem. All I know is that the idea of falling in love with someone, especially in our line of work doesn't sit well with me. Now with that said, end of discussion on that topic starting now!"

The blond frowned, quickly turning his head away and grumbling an incoherent chain of sentences that sounded something along the lines of Axel being a heartless bastard and getting to sleep with his man.

"Dem! Demmy!" Riku sang as he hoisted himself off the table. "I wanna see Sor Sor! Take me to see him! Please! Please! Please!" He begged.

"No Riku, I don't think it'll be a good idea to go see Sor Sor. It's late and he's probably sleeping for all we know."

"Or getting screwed by that hot blondie on the motorcycle." Axel snickered mischievously which again earned him another jab to his stomach thanks to his blond haired friend.

"Axel you are not helping the situation." Demyx hissed.

Rubbing his probably bruised insides, Axel frowned. "Sorry, jeez Mr. Sensitive."

Eventually Demyx grew tired of having to watch his friend's ridiculous antics. With some help from Tifa, he managed to stuff both Axel and Riku in the back seat of his car and begin the drive home. It was rather loud, especially with his friend's singing along to Smash Mouth on the radio. With a great sigh, Demyx found that he couldn't possibly risk leaving both his friends home alone in their apartments in the state that they were in, especially Riku of all people. Feeling little to no regret at all with his decision, the blond star drove straight to his own home with a resolve to put his companion's right to bed and have them sobered up by the next day.

-x-x-x-

Roxas and Sora stood outside their home waving their goodbyes as the blonde's college buddies drove back home to Twilight Town in the now empty U-Haul truck. The night before was stressful with all the unloading but once the pizza came in the work was forgotten and the group settled in with a movie of Avatar and dinner. They had just finished bringing in the last of the boxes from the truck an hour ago, so all that was left was unpacking and rearranging the house a little since Roxas brought home a pull open couch and bed combination while he was living in Twilight Town among other small pieces of furniture. Seeing as the truck was now long gone and out of their sights, the twins went back inside the house and began their next mission.

First came putting away some of the older furniture into the garage. Sora was actually happy to see them gone since they were so old, and in their place they moved Roxas' stuff to fill in the space. It took just about an hour to get the small tables in. When the twins came over to look at the couch and bed combo, they groaned in unison at the memory of how damn heavy it was even with Pence and Hayner's help.

"You think we should even bother trying Sor?"

"I don't know, even with the guy's help it was difficult then. Just imagine what would happen since they're only two of us to move this thing now…" Sora whined.

-x-x-x-

Ten in the morning and Riku found himself with one of the worst hang overs in history and also in front of his little infatuation's house. Just as he was about to reach up and knock on the door, the sound of his cell phone broke the eerie silence and his head throbbed painfully from the chiming of his ringtone. Yanking the device from his pocket, he flipped it open and growled into the cell without even looking at the caller ID.

"What is it?" he barked.

"Where the hell are you Riku?" Demyx shouted on the other line. "Don't you dare say Sora's house! I told you last night to wait until Monday you moron! I wake up after having to put up with you and Axel last night and bringing you two twits back to my place only to find Axel still asleep on his futon but you missing from yours!"

"I'm sorry to tell you this but yeah I'm at Sora's, I'm in front of his door right now at this very moment actually and you're not stopping me from confronting him!" Riku yelled back and then pounded his fist into the door.

"Riku! Why you little—" Demyx turned towards the still groggy red head on the couch with a cup of coffee in hand, "Axel get your pants back on we're going over to Sora's!"

Riku could hear the two bicker in the background of his cell phone and continued to pound on the door. What came next was the sound of shuffling from the inside of the house, and a muffled voice that said "I'll get it." meaning that there was indeed someone else other than Sora in there. The silverette couldn't tell if it was that other guy he saw yesterday on the motorcycle or Sora himself. Taking a sharp intake of air, Riku unknowingly held it in with great anticipation as he prayed desperately that it would be his blue eyed and baby faced friend that would open the door for him.

Unfortunately fate was not on his side this time around. When the front door swung open, Riku found himself staring face to face with none other than the mysterious blond on the motorcycle—and this time it was minus the goggles. His usually sharp aqua hues widened with surprise as he was met by a pair of deep blue pools that were the same as Sora's. Opening his mouth to speak, the silverette realized that he was unable to form any words due to the shock of seeing the blond in his friend's home which left him just standing there in silence like an idiot.

Roxas could only stare at the stranger, blank faced and curious. The surprise on the newcomer's demeanor was quite creepy and he wanted to get whatever it is the guy was here for over and done with. If anything he hoped that the stranger was a friend of Sora's and not just some creeper lurking around the neighborhood. "Excuse me but can I help you?"

"Riku! Riku!" The silverette was still holding his phone much to his disbelief and the sound of Demyx yapping on the other end only caused him to dismiss the call which increased his blond haired friend's anger.

Shaking his head, Riku looked at the blond in front of him and quickly glared. "Who the hell are you and why are you in Sora's house? You know what, where is Sora?" he demanded.

"What?" The sudden hostility he received from Riku made Roxas tense. "Don't go getting all hot headed with me stranger! And just so you know, I live here for your information!"

"You live here?" Riku immediately stepped forward and grabbed the blond by the collar of his shirt. "Are you Sora's boyfriend?"

"Wha-What!" Roxas exclaimed as he gripped tightly onto the others fists. "Are you insane? Is this what it's about?" he shouted, glaring daggers at the silverette's false accusations.

"What is with all the shouting Roxas?" Sora came bouncing around the corner and stopped dead in his tracks upon seeing his twin and best friend in a rather questionable position. "Riku? What are you doing here?"

Riku shoved passed the blond, causing the other boy to stumble into the wall with a curse. "Is this guy your boyfriend?"

"B-boyfriend!" Sora yelled. Looking silently between Riku and Roxas, Sora finally toppled over in a fit of laughter as Roxas scoffed and began dusting himself off.

"What is so funny Sora?"

"You're an idiot." Roxas said flatly, earning a rather murderously looking stare from the older boy. "You'd have to be crazy to think that we're lovers."

"I'm really sorry, Riku. Really I am but, this guy here isn't my boyfriend." Sora said between hushed giggles.

"I'm his twin brother Roxas." The blond answered quite proudly.

In that instant, Riku swore that he died of the worst possible case of embarrassment ever in his life. "Tw-Twin?" he stuttered.

"Yeah? As in we were born on the same day and are brothers and it is impossible to be dating each other because it'd be incest and it's sort of illegal in a way?" Roxas replied dryly, causing his brother Sora to laugh even harder than before.

"I-I uhh…"

"It's okay Riku, it's my fault for not telling you about Roxas.

"Look man, I'm really sorry that I—" Riku began but Roxas quickly shook his head.

"Apology accepted. Now, how about you make it up to me by helping Sora and I move our couch." The blond smirked, with that said he made his way back inside the house to finish the unpacking, leaving his brother behind to continue laughing away while Riku just stood there speechless and feeling red faced and defeated.

A/N: I'm so glad I finished that! I've been writing down brief summaries for the next few chapters so I'm actually a lot better organized with this story in comparison to my other ones ^^; I hope you enjoyed this little bit and expect to see the next chapter in about a week or two. I have roughly two more weeks of classes left so until then I'll be very slow. Please tell me if I happened to make any mistakes because I'm pretty sure I was unable to catch them very well since its 2:37am. Anyway's, thank you for taking the time to read and leave a review to tell me how I did and if improvement is needed (:
