Sing To The Wind - Chapter 16

Chapter Sixteen

"No," was the instant reaction from both Sora and Zexion when Roxas picked out a bright blue tuxedo from the railings, Roxas sighed wearily and put it back before folding his arms and bit his lip.
"This is useless," Roxas whined and let out a frustrated groan as he rested his forehead on Sora's shoulder, Sora rolled his eyes at Zexion who sniggered quietly.
"Roxas, it's just a tuxedo, it doesn't have to be perfect," Zexion explained as he began riffling through the other tuxedo's beside him, soon flinching as Roxas flicked the back of his head.
"Of course it has to be perfect, Zex, this is my wedding tuxedo we're talking about, not some stupid crappy prom tuxedo!" Roxas nearly squealed causing a few other shoppers to look over at him and Sora patted the blondes shoulder to calm him down.
"I think he just meant that you're taking this far too seriously, you need to relax a bit more," Sora suggested and Zexion nodded at his words as he looked to his friend who was clearly panicking.
Roxas nodded quietly and began to help Zexion get to the end of the small shop railings, cringing at some of the tuxedos that were unfortunately shown to his eyes.
"Blue," Roxas picked up the tuxedo and frowned, "no," he put it back of the railing and then picked up another tuxedo straight away, "green," he put it against his body and looked in the mirror, "no, I look like a giant pickle," he said unimpressed whilst Sora and Zexion chuckled at his comment.
Sora shook his head a little as he turned to the railings in front of him and began to calming go through them, his eyes taking in what Roxas would and would not look okay in, he knew his Nobody was serious when it came to Axel, but this was ridiculous, he had already dragged them all around both Hollow Bastion and Twilight Town, Sora's feet were killing him and he was pretty sure that Zexion was also feeling the pain, but he had put himself in this situation by agreeing to be his best man, he wished he hadn't bothered.
It was then that a soft white blazer came up under his finger tips and he raised an eyebrow in curiosity as he pulled it away from the other tuxedos, he then pulled Roxas over to him and held the blazer to his body, a smile erupted on the brunettes face as he summoned Zexion to his side.
"This one!" Zexion grinned and admired how much the colour white suited Roxas perfectly, it showed how beautiful his slightly tanned skin was and it enhanced the already shocking blue colour that his eyes were.
Roxas took the blazer from Sora's hands and walked over to the mirror in the shop and put it to his body again, his eyes widened and a small smile appeared on his pink lips.
"Sora, this is it!" Roxas beamed and turned to hug his Somebody who giggled and hugged him back.
"Roxas!" Zexion called and they looked over to find that Zexion had somehow managed to slip away to the back of the shop without either of them noticing and they walked over, "I found this black rose pin and this tie, I thought it would look good with the white," Zexion said unconfidently but Roxas grinned at him, throwing his arms around the nervous teen how hesitated before hugging him back.
"You guys are now my two new favourite people," Roxas then, almost literally, skipped over to the counter where a girl with short brown hair stood with a polite smile on her pretty face.
"A very good choice young sir," she said with a wink and Roxas blushed slightly as he looked away from her, catching her name on her tag, 'Yuna'.
"Thank you," Roxas muttered and Yuna giggled as she scanned the tags.
"Is this for a special occasion?" Yuna asked and looked at the three boys in front of her with a curious grin and Sora immediately took a liking to her.
"Yeah, my cousin here," he put his arm around Roxas's shoulders, "is getting married at the end of the week," he then planted a soft kiss on Roxas's cheek causing the blonde's face to turn a very dark shade of red.
Yuna gasped and clapped her hands quickly as she leaned across the counter towards Roxas who smiled a little at her, "aww, who's the lucky girl?" she asked and blushed slightly as she saw Roxas bite his lip nervously and she cleared her throat, "I mean, who's the lucky guy?" she corrected herself and noticed Zexion laughing behind his hand.
"You wouldn't happen to know a boy named Axel Sinclair, would you?" Sora asked and Yuna felt her eyes widen.
"I know him!" she squealed and Roxas frowned a bit as Yuna carefully placed his tuxedo into a plastic cover and zipped it up, "he came in a few days ago looking for a tuxedo as well, he was having a lot of trouble though, a crazy blonde boy kept on trying to try on every blazer he saw," Yuna giggled as the memory flashed up in her mind and tucked her brown hair behind her ears, "it was awfully funny to watch until Axel decided to smack him around the head," she laughed a bit more as Roxas did too, "he loves you a lot, he wouldn't shut up about you when he was paying," she explained and Roxas blushed, looking to both Sora and Zexion who grinned back at him.
"Roxas is the same when talking about Axel, believe me," Zexion said and Yuna smiled at him, "they are what some people would call, a 'perfect couple'," Zexion used his fingers to do air quotes and Yuna nodded.
"I completely agree," she said sweetly and then put both the black rose pin and tie into a small plastic bag and handed both the tuxedo and the bag to Roxas who took them gently, "I hope you have a lovely day!" she beamed and Roxas smiled at her friendliness.
Now some would have said it would have been nice to invite her along to the wedding, but this was real life, Roxas barely knew her so he politely said goodbye to her and left the shop with Sora and Zexion, who were teasing him about Axel.

Axel pushed the dark blue tie up to his collar with shaking hands as he finally finished dressing himself up, it was the first time he had worn all of his clothes for the wedding, he just wanted to make sure that it looked right.
He loved Roxas, he wanted to look right for him.
"Are you done yet?" an impatient Riku moaned from the other side of the door and Axel smirked a little.
"Yes, oh grumpy one," he replied and took a deep breath in as he grabbed the door handle of Roxas's bedroom door and pulled it open, revealing himself.
He saw both Demyx and Riku's mouths open widely at the sight of him and he looked down at himself.
"You look amazing," Demyx gasped and threw his arms around his friend.
Axel sighed at his soppiness and patted his back as he looked to Riku who smiled slightly.
"Amazing," he confirmed, not being one with too many words.
But both boys were right, he looked absolutely amazing in his tuxedo, it was a simple black tuxedo but it suited him perfectly, outlining how stunning his thin body shape was and how beautifully green his eyes were, he had a white rose pin on the left hand side of his blazer and a red ring around each cuff on the blazer. His trousers weren't too tight or too baggy and his shoes were polished to give them a beautiful shine.
"It's really okay?" he asked nervously and Demyx moved away from his best friend.
"I don't lie, and if Roxas doesn't want you, I would be willing to take his place with you looking like that," Demyx said half serious half joking as he felt his eyes trail up and down his best friends form.
"Stop that, you're freaking me out," Riku said and Demyx grinned bashfully at him.
"Freaking me out too and plus, you have little Sexy Zexy," Axel winked and Demyx nearly squealed at the mention of his boyfriend.
"Don't call him that!" Demyx murmured and blushed as he felt his heart flutter madly inside his chest, smiling weakly as he couldn't believe that his shy lover had this effect on him.
"Axel?" a soft voice called and they heard the front door open, "are you in?" they added and Axel gasped before running back into the bedroom and slamming the door trying to get changed as quickly as he could without injuring himself whilst Demyx and Riku ran down the stairs to greet Roxas, Sora and Zexion.
"He's just doing something, he'll be right with you," Riku spat out quickly and Roxas stared at him for a while before shaking his head and beaming at his clothes as he walked to the small door that rested under the stairs, he opened it and hung his clothes on the small pole that rested on the wall before he shut the door again.
"I know he's trying on his wedding clothes, I'm not stupid," Roxas snickered as he wandered into the kitchen and stood on his toes to reach the cupboard with the cups in, pulling a random purple one out and started putting coffee granules in.
Demyx sighed knowing that Roxas could almost read everyone like a storybook and rubbed the back of his neck, "could you be dumb for just one day?" he whined and quickly wrapped his arms around Zexion, who sunk into the embrace, he was so tired from all of the crazy shopping that Roxas had put both himself and Sora through.
"Not unless you want another Axel around the house," Roxas said cheekily as he spotted Axel walking down the stairs in his normal clothes with a shocked look on his face.
"I heard that you little runt," Axel joked and skidded on the kitchen tiles as his arms snaked around him, his lips placing themselves upon Roxas's.
Sora looked away from their embrace, only to be faced with Demyx and Zexion's, they were smiling at each other, their hands linked together and their foreheads pressed to one another. Sora grunted and looked to the floor, he didn't want to see this, especially when he was still so confused about his feelings.
"Hey," Sora jumped and blushed heavily as he saw that Riku's face was close to his, "we're going to end up as happy as them one day," he smiled and Sora felt his heart beat madly in his chest,
"We are?" he asked, was Riku asking him out?
"Yeah," Riku looked at both couples, "I'm going to find someone, you're going to find someone and we'll be happy, just like these guys," he said quietly and Sora felt his heart beat again, slight disappointment stabbing his chest every now and again and he froze a little, did that mean that he wanted Riku to ask him out? Had he just found the answer to his confusion?
"Y-yeah, I guess," Sora stuttered as Riku ruffled his hair, just as he used to do when they were younger.
"You're such a daydreamer, stay focused a little," Riku's laugh sounded like someone singing and Sora found himself staring at the silver hair that hung passed Riku's shoulders, most of his hair actually fell into his eyes, covering those beautiful green jewels that Sora had been dying to see for the passed few days, "Sora?" he blinked harshly as Riku waved a hand in front of his face and he swallowed hard, gazing at the boy before him.
"Riku," he whispered and grunted as he felt shivers runs up his back as he said his name, he couldn't believe this, he was in love with his best friend, another boy.
"That's my name, don't wear it out," Riku joked and nudged his friend playfully in the side before he sauntered into the front room with Demyx and Zexion who instantly claimed the Playstation Two that was sprawled on the front room floor.
Sora put his hand on his chest and stumbled his way into the kitchen, where Roxas and Axel were still kissing, and clumsily sat down hard on one of the wooden chairs, his head immediately falling down onto it with a loud thud, his eyes slammed shut as he tried to think of something else rather than just Riku.
Riku.
Riku.
Riku.
"Damn it!" Sora yelled and slammed his fist onto the table in annoyance and the couple near the fridge finally broke their embrace as they spun around in shock at Sora's outburst and Sora waved his hand in the air, "sorry, I stubbed my toe," he lied and Roxas stared at him with a concerned gaze but Sora avoided eye contact.
"You yell like that for stubbing your TOE?" Axel scoffed and Sora nodded sheepishly, his right hand rubbing his left arm shakily as he knew Roxas was reading his body language at the moment, he could almost practically feel the burning gaze on his skin.
"Yeah, I'm a bit of a drama king," Sora then cursed himself at the words 'drama king', as if he needed reminding about the sudden change in his sexuality.
"Sora…something wrong," Roxas frowned and Axel peered at his lover who was staring at Sora with a worried look on his face.
"Nothing's wrong, honestly Roxas, you worry too much," Sora beamed and Roxas opened his mouth to say something else but Axel cut him off.
"Did you get the suit?" Roxas blushed heavily and nodded, "can I see it?"
"No, it brings bad luck," Roxas stated and Axel rolled his eyes.
"That's traditionally for straight couples my cute little pineapple," Axel sighed and both Sora and Roxas looked at him for the use of the words 'cute little pineapple' but Axel ignored the weird glances.
"No, you can't see it," Roxas protested shyly and Axel chuckled, sounding unintentionally seductive and both boys in the room with him shivered at the sound.
"Okay, just tell me the colour," Axel purred and Roxas mumbled some curse word.
"White, now stop asking me about it," Roxas answered and Axel began to laugh loudly, "Why are you laughing at me?" the blonde snapped and Axel kissed his forehead.
"Because white is traditionally for the women," Axel explained and Roxas groaned.
"Since when did I become the woman of this relationship?" Roxas asked and Sora merely laughed.
"Since I started topping you in the bedroom," Axel said inappropriately and Roxas gasped loudly, punching Axel hard in the chest.
"AXEL!" he yelled and Axel winced whilst still laughing, his hand rubbing the place were Roxas had punched.
"Jeeze, how the hell are you two ever going to make it up the aisle without fighting?" Zexion appeared in the door way and Axel poked his tongue out at him causing the bluenette to sigh at his immaturity, his aqua eyes turning to Sora who quickly looked away but Zexion had already seen his eyes, he knew Sora had finally figured himself out.
