Frostbit Roses: Chapter 3

Frostbit Roses

Chapter 3: Honeysuckle

Softly, elegantly, and ever so gently nimble fingers toiled with the sliver locks of the male laying in bed. Unaware of the lustful intentions of the one with the eyes of the sky, it held. Breathing warm, yet faint breaths over pale un-scarred skin making the other being shiver and gasp. Sora smiled wickedly while hovering over the still sleeping figure of his obsession, Riku. The prince smiled while moving to a pale neck before biting it furiously making Riku wake up with a yell. "O-Ouch!' Sora smiled.

"Ah, good morning my irresistible rose..." All while never making his smile disappear; Sora licks and sucks the spot sure to make a bruise. "I want you to get up, I have some business to attend to today and I want to make sure you are in good hands while I'm absent."

"W-were are you going?" Riku squeaked out.

"Hmm, don't worry I will return to play with you more, my pet."

"... Yes Master..." Riku sighed while sitting up noticing other spots on his body that were red that shouldn't have been. He examined the small bite marks on his chest and parts of his lower back.

"Riku this will be your planned day. Listen well, I want you to go with Yuna to get cleaned up and changed." Sora stated while placing his royal blue and gold jacket on. Buttoning up the white shirt and fixing his cuffs, he turns to Yuna who had just stepped into the room. "I don't want you to give her a hard time, do you understand?" The now standing Riku nods to his Master while giving a faint smile at Yuna.

"I understand..." The female brunet smiles back before giving Sora his daily planner and some other bits of papers.

"The King wants to have breakfast with you my Lord. I told him you were on your way."

"Thank you Yunnie. My pet, after that I advise you listen to everything Yuna has for you... I'm off." Sora walked to the large door and out towards the long-awaited bright hall. The sliver haired one frowned seeing as Sora didn't say a goodbye, not that he wanted one or anything.

"Don't worry, he meant to say goodbye. Sora's really busy today that's all. He doesn't have time to be all happy-go-lucky today." Riku nods. "Okay then it's time to get you dressed and fed. After that, I'm leaving you in the hands of Lord Roxas. For some reason, he agreed to watch you until his cousin returned. Be nice."

Heading towards the washroom right behind Yuna, Riku yawned quietly. "You know," she said, "we are going to be making some new clothes for you today. Isn't that wonderful Riku?" The taller of the two nodded before walking into the room spotting Naminé drawing once more. Riku gasps and points slightly.

"Hey... it's you again...!" The petite blonde looks up shocked before smiling and standing giving a slight bow.

"Why yes, I suppose it is me. I think…do I know you?" A little hurt that she didn't remember, Riku lowered his head.

"You gave me that French bread, remember?" His voice was low. He looked up slightly up, hoping she would remember. Naminé gives an apologetic smile answering.

"Oh, yes I did. I'm sorry if I didn't remember you dear. You see, I do those kinds of acts all the time. It's in my nature to help. Please forgive me." She bowed at him once again.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Riku turns before giving his answer. "Hey look, it's okay I get it now you don't need to bow at me really!" Yuna laughs at how red Riku had begun and how his arms had moved to his sides in obvious discomfort to the strangeness that he had been brought into.

"Okay, fun time's over," Yuna stated, clapping her hands together. "I need to get you cleaned up and sent away. I'm sure Naminé would love to chat with you later on. I have a busy schedule." She pushed the sliver haired one into the bathroom. Naminé waved him goodbye. A tall male with slightly pinkish hair turns once in the room. Riku gulps before looking at Yuna for help.

"Don't worry; Marluxia's not cleaning you up. You are more than capable of cleaning yourself." With that in mind, the pet sighs before looking at the one named Marluxia.

"So uh, why is he here then?" he asked as Yuna picked up some of the bath jewels and salts.

"Well actually he is just here to help make sure the temperature is warm and the gems are acting right with your body." Almost freaking out once more, Riku pales.

"Why would he need to do that?" Turning towards the younger one, Yuna smiled.

"It's because he is an expert in fragrance, medicine and ancient arts. He will be your doctor from now on."

Marluxia bows briefly, his pink bangs falling in front of his eyes. "Hello Riku, it's a pleasure to be meeting you, again. Now come it's time to give you your exam."

"Oh great…."

Clash! went the breakfast plate as the King slammed his fist on the table. The queen, Aerith gasps at her husbands sudden movements. "Sora, you must go to Destiny Kingdom and meet with the princess there. She has been waiting for you for quite awhile." Sora silently glares at his father before placing the fork down still with the bit of egg on it.

"Father, I do not wish to leave. I want to stay here! If she wants to see me so badly, tell her she is more than welcome to come here to the kingdom!" The males fight over the discussion while Aerith sighs getting quite tired of this every morning.

"Please! I'll be the one to ask her may she come. Dearest may you please do one thing your father requests? After all, lately you have been having an attitude." Sora stares at his beloved mother and sighs folding his arms before giving a nod.

"Fine, I will do this only for you Mother. Also, I'm fine, I'm just a little stressed about the upcoming tests."

"I see. Great! Now let's stop talking about all this political things and have a nice breakfast. Oh, where is Roxas? I haven't seen him since he has been living at the castle." Sora smirks before answering.

"Roxas has been studying; he wants to go home completely ready to take his tests into King Hood." Sora lied to save his cousin. Ansem nods in agreement.

"Ah, yes I have to say Roxas has been stepping up his game since moving here. It was all for the best after all." Aerith beams with joy for finally having a normal conversation without all of the fighting.

"That's wonderful to hear sweetheart!" She finishes up her plate letting the servants clean them once again. "Well," standing up and greeting Tifa, her lady in training student, "I must be off my loves. I have much work to do with Tifa here and must get to it. I'll see you two at dinner." She kisses her husband then walks on over towards her only son giving his kiss on the crown (avoiding the spikes of course).

Sora smiles brightly as she leaves only to let it falter looking back at his father.

"I will be leaving as well father." He states as he gets up from his seat.

"Sora…I was informed that someone was invited to the castle last night. Do you happen to know what that was about?" Sora keeps his back towards him.

"Who has informed you exactly?" Ansem places his napkin down.

"It was my top advisers Vexen. Well? Do you?" Sora pauses before turning around with a smile.

"Oh, no, I don't Father. After all, I was way to busy studying. I mean, Roxas is training, I imagine as well learn something from him." The King smiles greatly before getting up placing the neck cloth on the table.

"That is wonderful my son. I am glad that you finally understand the importance of your future." Sora was too busy mentally thinking about how to make Riku moan his name or how fast he could get him naked, before his father burst his bubble.

"Um, yes of course." The prince starts walking before his father could ask an another question.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The King's knight makes swift movements while in training, making sure not to miss a single leaf falling from the oak tree. Masamune sliced through them with much grace but less effort. Cloud watches him. He always watches him from afar, when not called upon. Blue eyes glides from sliver hair all the way to the flowing black leather the figure wore. Surely, he had better things to do. Who wouldn't? But he was captured by the male's sense of pride and integrity.

"Cloud how long are you going to stand there?" Sephiroth asked while sheathing back his sword. The blonde scratched the back of his head before coming from behind a tree.
"Uh, I guess that's why you are the top knight for the king huh?" Sephiroth smiles softly before taking a seat on a boulder. "Well, it has its ups and downs."

"I never saw your downs, so that's why I say the things I do." Leaning on one of the tree trunks, Cloud explains. The taller knight pauses before closing his eyes letting his next words flow like water.

"I saw Leon the other day. I thought for sure he was way to busy to pay a visit. But then again if it's for you, Cloud, he would travel the world." Cloud blushes before coughing.

"Sephiroth what are you implying? I'm sure he has a good reason, he said so himself that he missed the both of us!" Sephiroth smirks looking up at Cloud, but with a different shade of color in his eyes, less green. Depression Jealousy

"I see well, if you say so…I don't want to upset you any farther."

The younger frowns keeping his mouth shut. "You didn't upset me. It's just well, you are an amazing Knight and yet you don't let many friends into your circle." Sephiroth nods. "I wish to keep it that way. After all, I don't need anyone." Cloud heart crashes into a hundred pieces. "Well, maybe except you Cloud…you do have good company skills." The blonde male brightens up before smiling.

"Well of course, growing up with no siblings you tend to want friendship slightly. Then, you start to branch off to go find some and keep them dear to your heart when you do find some."

"I'll keep that in mind Cloud…."Smiling at the younger one while the wind blows softly making their hair flow like river ripples in an autumn day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"AXEL! Get your red headed self back in this courtyard before I come after you with a tree trimmer!" The feisty prince yells while watching his friend, boyfriend, boy toy, knight, climb the royal gates, which were made out of white marble.

"In a minute Roxas, I'm still on duty you know!" The one named Axel stated while trying to make sure there were no enemies in site. Roxas huffs out his frustration before looking at Yuna coming closer with Riku in tow.

"Hello my Lord." She bows before staring at Riku to do the same. He finally gets the picture before bowing too, but not as low as she did. Roxas notices, but it doesn't bother him.

Axel jumps from the high wall towards them all. "Yo!"

"Hello there Axel, once again. I want to thank you Roxas for watching over Riku for me." Roxas waves his hand to make her stop.

"Really it's no big deal, and Axel doesn't mind so why not." Riku looks off into the distance staying quiet. He wasn't being mean or anything, but if it wasn't Sora then he had no reason to pay attention. It's not like Sora was more special or anything, but he just didn't care. Yuna bows once more before heading off, leaving a spaced off Riku. Roxas clears his throat before finally getting his attention.

"Good now that I have your attention, tell me how is my cousin treating you?"
Quickly, Riku opens his mouth only to shut it just as fast. How would he explain this whole experience? Well quite frankly, he had no idea. "It's...um...been (pause) Actually, I don't know how to sum up my stay at the castle." Axel laughs slightly earning a glare from Roxas.

"It's okay; I should have known I couldn't get any dirt out of you." Truly, Riku had no idea what he meant, hell he still didn't comprehend why he was ever brought to this castle in the first place. Oh yeah, Sora's pet right... Roxas sighs. "Hay look don't worry about it, it's just for a few hours anyway. Even princes have training, and Sora's been skipping that training for you."

"What type of training?"

Axel sighs. "He has battle and combat, magic and spells, studies, and his music of course. Roxas here, I mean Lord Roxas here, has the same thing just in his Kingdom studies."

"They're different kingdoms?"

"Well, uh yeah. This is the Kingdom of Heart; Roxas is from the Kingdom of Twilight."

"Ohh, I see…" Riku sits on the ground with his hands in his lap like a child waiting to be picked up from school.

"Glad you get it, but sit on the bench, I'm sure Naminé and Yuna have worked very hard to dress you…" Roxas spats out. Axel sighs knowing Roxas must be in a bad mood today. Maybe that message from back home wasn't good after all.

"Ohh, uh s-sorry…" He gets up quickly to sit on the bench, thinking he wished he was in Sora's room. It shocked him, but at the moment he couldn't really care less. Sora, please don't be too busy...please...?

"So…uh what should I be doing?" Riku looked towards Axel for an answer. The other shrugs before walking in front of Roxas, whispering, "Roxy are you okay? Usually, you are in, uh, kind of a happy nosy mood." The blonde looks at the other before turning and sitting on the bench.

"It's nothing Axel don't worry about it."

"Baby I know everything about you, and when you say don't worry, I worry anyway." Roxas blushes while biting his bottom lip slightly."I don't think my studies are going so great. Also, if I don't improve mother will send me back, and I don't want to leave you…" Axel stares at him before laughing.

"Roxas, you could have just said something. Look, I can help you with your studies, hell I'll even get Riri over there to help."

Riku pales before shaking his head 'no'. Axel glares and walks over picking him up by the collar. "Yeah you are helping too, got it?" Roxas stands before pulling on Axel's arm.
"Axel! He is suppose to be in GOOD hands, got it memorized?" The knight pauses while Riku wiggles out of his grasp glaring green daggers.

"Fine, if you say so my Prince..." Still smirking at the now pissed off Riku. "You won't be able to dare do it again... And besides, I don't have to help if I don't want too. After all, I don't even know you both!" The sliver haired one balls his fists. Roxas gets in between them both.

"Enough! Axel come over here, Riku go over there." The knight sighs hoping he could just see how tough this one was, before walking to the other side. The pet turns walking to another bench turning his back to them he rolls his eyes before continuing the conversation before the mini fight. Not to mention, scolding Axel for picking a fight—again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blades clash loudly against each other, either master of these blades wanting to give up. Swift moments make yet another clash but one makes a simple mistake, landing in a bush. Sora grunts with sudden impact, he knew he had his aim right. Suddenly, the young prince's nose was greeted with cold bluish metal. "No fair Saïx! I wasn't ready for that yet!" The blue haired male lowers his weapon before placing his hand out for the younger to take.

"You must always be ready for anything young prince..." After accepting the offered hand, Sora curses his wooden sword.

"It's this sword you have given me. Why must I have the wooden one, you have metal! It's no fair!" He pouts hoping to make the other feel bad for beating him.
Saïx rolls his eyes. "You must learn to fight with anything given to your expense." Charging out of nowhere, Sora swings his weapon towards the scarred one only to be blocked sharply by Saïx. "Nice try, but you need to wake up early in the morning to get me with that type of move." Growling at the fact he couldn't put a fast one on his teacher, Sora places his weapon on the stand and retrieves his shirt and jacket.

"When will I be able to handle better weapons?" Saïx pauses rubbing his eyes avoiding his 'x' shaped scar, before making his weapon disappear. A soft breeze flows between them making the teacher's blue hair move slightly to the right. "You will need more time, for now I suggest you go to your next lesson. Merlin is waiting for you.

"Yeah your right…Fine I'm off. Thank you for the lesson anyway." Sora turns towards the washrooms. Saix smiles slightly before looking at the sky.

He's getting better than I thought...my young king.
