Adopted

Chapter 7

                The next day Ventus didn't see Vanitas at school, but he did see a pacing Sora. Ventus nonchalantly walked over and tapped the brunette on the shoulder, "Hey Sor-"

                "What happened last night? Vani wouldn't tell me anything! Were you in trouble? Are you alright? Did he kiss you?"

                "Woah calm down Sora."

                Sora sighed, "You're right I'm sorry. I asked Vanitas why he hadn't come home that night but he said it was between you and him and I thought well the way you were blushing yesterday an-"

                "Sora I told before...I'm not gay!" Ventus yelled, feeling exasperated.

                "You're right...I'm sorry. Hey listen if you don't want to tell me fine it's your business I won't pry into it!"

                "Thank you."

                "I won't do it."

                "Yes."

                "Please tell me."

                "No."

                Sora pouted, "Aww come on...please!

                "Hey how about I introduce you to someone?" Ventus suddenly said.

                "Stop changing the subject."

                "No hey listen. There's somebody that's been dying to talk to you."

                Sora didn't believe him, "Yeah...sure... Ven I told you before no one wants to talk to me."

                "What if I told you this person was...Roxas?"

                Sora's eyes widended before turning away, "So what?"

                Ventus chuckled. He threw an arm around his friend, "and I knew for a fact that you like Roxas."

                "No I don't."

                "Yeah you do."

                "No."

                "Yes."

                "Fine maybe a little."

                "I knew it!"

                "Shut up."

                Ventus gestured for Sora to follow him, the two walked through the school searching for the similar blonde; finally finding him at the bench outside the library with Hayner, Pence and Olette and another blonde guy Ven didn't know. He was reading while his friends chatted beside him. Sora hid behind Ven, he must be shy.

                "Hey Roxas!"

Roxas looked up from his book and smiled at Ven before noticing the shaking boy behind him. His eyes widened before mouthing, "No...go...not now!"

But Ven didn't notice and when he did the other blonde had spotted him, "What do we have here? So you're the Roxas look-a-like we've been hearing about. My names Seifer, this is Hayner, Pence and Olette. And who's thi- eww it's the queer! Get him outta here!"

Sora began clutching onto Ven's shirt, he could hear him whimpering, "Hey! There's no need for that!"

"Yeah there is a need for it!" Seifer shot back, "We don't need him gaying up our spot! Get him out of here before he does! In fact both of you get out of here since you're such a queer lover."

Before Ven could reply Sora had dragged him away, and fast. Once they got back to their spot Sora collapsed on the floor in tears.

Ventus sighed as he hugged the boy to him, "I'm sorry Sora. I'm so sorry. I never meant for that to happen. Those guys are assholes, all of them."

Sora nodded but didn't respond, he just let Ventus comfort him. Ven feeling completely guilty about putting Sora in that situation. Maybe Roxas was trouble.

                "Guys..." Speak of the devil.

                "Roxas you've done enough," Ventus said, "Go to class."

                Roxas sighed and kneeled in front of Sora, he held the brunette's hand against Ven's protest.

                "Sora I'm sorry. They shouldn't have done that to you, from now on you and Ven are gonna be my friends."
