Exactly! But Zack and CLoud can act..they'd make it work!
heart Hold on, I just had a Project Runway moment.
Okay, I'm good.
SURPRISE! Short extension, since I wasn't particularly happy with the way I'd ended the last chapter without continuing the Leon-y-ness.

Sora sat down with his speghetti, suddenly not feeling hungry anymore. He glanced ever so inconspicuously over from his empty table at where Axel was sitting. Axel seemed to be pretty happy over there with Roxas.
Sora felt like putting his head down in his food. "This is so not fair!" Sora thought, "For all the not wanting him I did, and for all the interest in Riku I have, you'd think I'd be happy."
Sora looked at the clock. Halfway into lunch. Normally, Riku would be sitting beside him, at a table full of people like Kairi and Selphie. On a bad day, though... Sora didn't feel like sitting next to anybody but Riku... Or Axel, if Roxas hadn't been there to spoil everything.
What was it Roxas really wanted, anyway? Sora thought back to their first meeting, how Roxas had ever so nonchalantly sauntered into his life and stuck his similar-in-shape-and-size-to-Sora's nose into things that shouldn't concern him. Sora wished he could saunter that way. If he could, he would saunter right over to where Roxas was sitting and... Well, do something really mean to him.
Like take Axel back.
Sora closed his eyes and tried to block Axel and Roxas out.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Axel looked over at where Sora was sitting thoughtfully. 'Am I letting this go to far?' Axel's concience asked, 'Or do I need this?' He looked over at Roxas, who was smiling happily as he twirled speghetti onto his fork. Axel was stricken by how incredibly pretty Roxas could be when he slurped things.
Roxas noticed he was being watched, and he met Axel's eyes. "See something you like?"
"Yeah," said Axel, absently, "You."
"Do you like me because you like me?" Roxas tilted his head, "Or because of something else?"
Axel jerked back to reality a bit, and resignedly, he shrugged. "Kinda both. You're strange, Roxas, but I feel like I know you. Like I can trust you even though you don't want me to."
Roxas frowned. "You don't want to trust me. I'm not always very nice."
"You don't have to be nice to me," Axel put his hand on Roxas's shoulder. "I never said I wanted a nice boyfriend."
"Is that what I am?" Roxas seemed a little shocked to hear this.
"What else would I call you?"
"Anything but Shirley." Roxas tried to break the mood, tried to make things less serious, but Axel just looked at him. "I dunno. I've never been in this situation before."
Roxas wondered how long the happy feeling he had could last, and this gave him a deeprooted sense of dread. Roxas broke hearts. He couldn't afford any ironic experiences.

Zack and Cloud sat together in the cafeteria every day. Zack being Zack, he always made it a point to flick food at Tifa Lockheart whenever she was in range. Tifa... The very name made Zack feel ill. She'd been spreading some very vicous rummors about the two friends and the school principal, rummors that had made Cloud cry. She would pay.
Zack scooped up some mashed potatoes and gravey and poked the spoon in Cloud's mouth.
"Eat up, Spike, and you'll grow up to be big and strong like me."
He kissed Cloud's forehead and went back to glaring at Tifa.

Normally, Sephiroth couldn't be bothered with new teachers. In his opinion, they were normally overly optimistic and often smelled funny. That being said, he surprised himself by sitting beside a man called Leon at lunch. Well, it wasn't that surprising, because on his other side was Mr. Valentine, and who didn't want to sit next to Mr. Valentine? He was a veratable joyfactory especially for those who enjoy awkward silences, sarcasm, and especailly for those who happen to be bisexual school principals.
Still... Sephiroth didn't like Leon. There was of course, a reason for this. That reason being that Leon had eyes, and those eyes seemed to be boring holes in Sephy's favorite student's head. Why was Leon glaring at Zack? It seemed to have started with a kiss on the forehead.
"Ahem."
Leon ignored Sephiroth. That's usually a mistake.
