((Yeah. He should be.))

Riku nodded, but paused at the bottom of the stairs. Did he really want to go up and see Sora? After all, he's been spending all this time with 'the fake Sora', so maybe he developed feelings for the blond? He didn't know and he figured the only way to find out was to go see the person who had originally stolen his heart. So he took a deep breath and headed up the stairs, looking in all the rooms at the top, looking for any sign of the brunette.

Roxas smiled lightly and took a seat at the table with Axel. He hoped Riku found Sora and wasn't too mad about the switch. He didn't want the silverette mad at him. After all, they had become good friends in the time that they spent together.

Riku paused on the last door. What if Sora wasn't in here? What if Axel was just playing a mean trick on him? He didn't think that was the case, but it was still a possibility. He opened the door slowly and looked in. He froze when he spotted the brunette sitting on the bed and he opened the door all the way and stepped into the room. "Sora." He breathed a sigh of relief when he seen him. This proved that it wasn't just a prank and he took a hesitant step forward. What if the brunette had left because he didn't want to spend time with him?

Riku smiled lightly when Sora had taken hold of his hand and he didn't stop smiling lightly as they made their way down the hall and down the stairs. He flinched slightly when the brunette suddenly yelled though, not expecting the sudden noise. But he remained quiet, glad that Sora was going to be coming back with them.

Roxas flinched as well at the suddenness of the yelling. But a small smile formed on his face when he heard that his look-alike wanted to go back to the palace. But a worried feeling grew in his stomach. If the brunette went back, what was going to happen to the blond? Would he have to come back and live in town? Or would Axel let him stay with him? He hoped it was the second option, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.

Riku nodded, a small smile forming on his face at the thought of actually spending some real time alone with Sora. The smile grew on his face though when he saw the blush on the brunette's face. He reached out to grab the male's hand and pulled gently to get him to start moving. "Let's get going."

Roxas watched the two leave before he stood up. "I'll just be a few minutes while I pack." he said, turning and heading up the stairs and down the hall to his room. He grabbed a bag out of the hall closet before heading into his room. He went over to his dresser to start putting clothes in.

Riku smiled lightly, mentally thanking Axel for only bringing two horses. He stood by the horse for a moment before pulling himself up. He sat back far enough so that Sora would have enough room to sit in front of him. He held his hand out to the brunette, intend on helping him up.

Roxas shook his head at Axel's offer. "No. I don't need any help." he said, grabbing some of his clothes and folding them neatly before setting them in the bag. He frowned though when he heard what was said next. "What do you mean "nice" clothing. Is there something wrong with my clothes?"

Sora watched as Riku swung his leg over the horse, and then he held out his hand for the brunette. Taking his hand he too swung his leg over the horse and scooted all the way forward so that Riku had enough room. He leaned back a little bit and snuggled lightly with Riku. "I am so glad that you are not mad at me for this." He then kissed the other male on the neck.

Axel looked at the blonde and furrowed his blonde a little bit. He didn't mean to say that the blonde didn't wear nice clothing he didn't really know what he meant actually. He meant to say the word sexy but he didn't know if Roxas would appreciate that.* "I didn't mean that," said Axel as he looked at the blonde. "I meant, well I was wondering if we could get some more sexy clothing so I can," he said with a laugh. "Undress you. There I said it!" Axel turned around to look at the blonde as a blush painted his face.

((*or if it would get flagged by a moderator or someone with that power))

Riku slid an arm around Sora's waist when the brunette got up on the horse. "I could never be mad at you." he said, a faint blush spreading across his face when the brunette kissed his neck. He used his free hand to lightly trace along Sora's chin before turning the other's head for a light kiss.

A dark blush spread quickly across Roxas' face when he heard what Axel said. "Oh..." he muttered, his gaze dropping quickly to the ground. So that was what the redhead had meant? His heart was racing and it took a few moments before he was able to speak. He nodded his head slowly, taking slow, deep breaths to calm his racing heart. "Alright... That's fine by me." he said, unable to look at the redhead.

Riku immediately regretted kissing Sora. He hadn't known what made him do it, but now he could see that it was a bad idea. He had thought that the brunette was returning his feelings, but apparently he was wrong. Shame and embarrassment built up in his stomach and he grabbed hold of the reins. "I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have done that." he said, forcing his voice to stay even. There was no need to let Sora know how upset he was.

The blush on Roxas' face darkened some when Axel took hold of his chin. But once the redhead started to walk away, it was finally starting to fade, for which he was very relieved. He followed after his lover quietly and once they were up the stairs, he headed into his room. He immediately went over to his dresser and started pulling out the clothes that didn't have rips or holes in them. He didn't think Axel needed to see them. He shoved them in his bag, not caring whether they were folded or not. He just really wanted to get out of this place.

Riku kept one hand on the reins, but his other securely around Sora. Even if he had been stepped out of line, that didn't mean he wanted to risk the brunette falling off. He felt bad about what he had done ad he wished he could go back to change it because the last thing he wanted was to make Sora feel uncomfortable around him. "... Are you wanting to go straight to the palace? Or is there somewhere else you want to go?" he asked, keeping his tone formal now.

Roxas finished packing and stood up after closing his bag. He turned to look at Axel and smiled lightly. "I'm ready to go." he said, pulling the strap over his shoulder. He hoped that he'd have enough clothes to last for his stay at the palace, seeing as how there was no way he'd be able to stay there for too long. After all, he couldn't abandon his parents. The only reason he was okay with leaving now was because they were out of town on a business trip.
