Chasing Destiny

Confessions

What had started out as anger towards Zack, Axel, Riku, Roxas, and now Reno, had quickly turned into frustration with you. The Gummi ride home became more and more awkward as the four boys slowly came to the realization that five guys had kissed you, and you had never admitted it to anyone. Granted, you didn't think it was anyone's business, but facts like that mattered not apparently. You had somehow turned from the victim, to the enemy.

"You guys," you call out for the umpteenth time during the short walk to Headquarters from the Ship.

Reno, Noctis, Cloud, and Zack don't respond, and you drop your head, kicking a stick out of the way. You should have seen this coming, to be honest, but you didn't really believe (until now) that they all liked you. You had inklings before, but now you have proof.

"So, we're just going to forget about this, right?" you ask hopefully as you follow them into Headquarters.

They laugh bitterly, and your heart sinks. As you walk into the living room, as if fate was out to kill you quickly, Roxas, Riku, and Axel are sitting in the room, along with Sora, Yuffie, Genesis, and Leon.

"Well, look who it is," Noctis muses, stepping towards a reading Riku.

"You're looking extra cranky today," Riku notes, peering up from his book.

"Shut it," Noctis snaps, grabbing Riku by his scarf and pulling him to his feet.

"Have anything you want to tell us?" Cloud asks, joining Noctis' side.

Riku's aqua-colored eyes dart to you, and the second he spots your guilty expression he starts to smirk.

"Oh. You guys found out," he realizes, looking back at the two men. Noctis is still clutching his black scarf, holding him still. "What took you so long?"

"Don't be looking so smug," Zack states, and Noctis and Cloud shoot him glares over their shoulders.

"You don't have any room to talk," Noctis mutters before turning back to Riku. "Actually, I dunno why you're so smug. You're just one out of five."

"Huh?" Riku hums, looking to you again.

"Yeah, what's going on?" Sora adds, walking towards his best friend.

"Flamer, blondie, Grandpa," Axel, Roxas, and Riku sneer slightly, "and these two idiots," Cloud nods back at Zack and Reno, "all forced themselves on [Name]."

"WHAT?!" Sora cries out, and Leon and Genesis stroll over from their places against the wall.

"Oh, really?" Leon asks, raising his eyebrows as he glances between the five leering guys.

"Underhanded," Genesis adds, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Sheesh, [Name]! I just thought it was Axel and Zack," Yuffie laughs, bouncing over to you. She puts you in a headlock, rubbing your head playfully. You gently push her away, feeling your cheeks heating up as everyone stares over at you.
