So... apparently, since I can't tell if people are male and female (I'M SORRRRRYYYY) I'm doing this story as a little "Please ignore that I called you a girl" present to one of you lovely readers. You know who you are.
Disclaimers: KH is not mine, the idea is not mine. I'm just doing it as a favor to the two who share that particular account.
Chapter One: The Bet
Olette grins over the top of her milkshake, smirking at the two girls in front of her currently blushing and turning red. "So… you guys have never noticed that Sora and Roxas look exactly alike?" The brunette asks curiously.
Naminé and Kairi shake their heads no before looking over their shoulders in unison at the Nobody and Somebody playing the pinball machine in the corner of the café with louds whoops and groans as one of them got the better on the other and started winning. From the loud slap to the head Sora got from Roxas, it was clear that the Nobody was losing. Roxas shoves him out of the way and starts cheating.
"Well… It makes sense," Kairi says after a moment, sighing. She picks up her own shake and takes a long sip of it. "I mean, they're Nobody and Somebody. In any other world, they'd be twins."
Naminé nods and points to her own Somebody, smiling with a strange amount of cheer for the normally solemn Nobody. "Of course they look alike," She confirms, pressing her hand to her chest, where her own Heart would have been if she had one. "They used to share a Heart… and that's why they look so similar."
The two smile in unison, their shared features reflecting each other just as perfectly as it would have if they'd looked inside of a mirror.
Olette nods and chuckles.
"So you've never wondered which one is the better boyfriend?" The girl asks curiously.
Kairi and Naminé laugh before grinning at her. The answer of course, was obvious. Despite their differences, the two girls had their answers. Of the two boys they loved, their answers were:
"Sora," Kairi says bluntly.
"Roxas," Naminé insists.
At that, they turn to look at each other in surprise and then in suspicion.
"Sora's the better boyfriend," Kairi informs her Nobody and takes a large bite of the previously untouched sandwich. Chewing the deli meat and bread and lettuce furiously, like it had personally offended her choice in guys, she quickly finishes it up and folds her hands in her lap. "I mean, he's sweet and kind and always does things to make me happy."
"So you only like him because he does things for you?" Naminé asks incredulously, staring at her in surprise. She shakes her head. "Roxas is better because he actually lets you do things. It's an adventure all the time whenever we go on dates. He's not as expressive in his emotions but when he does," She smiles softly, a light blush coloring her normally pale cheeks. "It's very sweet."
Soon the talk between the two girls devolves into a huge fight over who was the better guy: the better Keyblade Master, who had the cooler weapon, who had the better haircut, who had the cooler friends, who had the cuter eyes (it was a clear tie between the two and they had to admit it), and finally, who had had the better date ideas.
They had no idea that it had turned into full out screaming until Roxas ripped Namine out of Kairi's way and Sora pulled Kairi away from Namine before they could start catfighting.
"What are you guys arguing about!?" Sora asks curiously as they start calming down, all while Olette is laughing her butt off in the background.
"They… they want to know…" Olette chokes out in laughter, struggling to speak coherently as the two other girls blush in embarrassment. "Which … one of you… is…. the better boyfriend!" And with this, she collapses out into hysterical giggles again.
Roxas and Sora blink in unison before looking at their respective girlfriend in confusion.
"Why don't we just settle this with a bet?" Sora asks curiously, letting go of Kairi long enough to scratch at his hair in confusion.
Roxas nods in agreement. "Sure. If it's alright with you guys, then how about we switch?" He asks Namine gently, keeping his hand on the girl's arms as if he was afraid to let go of her in case she would suddenly fall out of his embrace.
The girls turn pink but nod slowly.
"I'm alright with it," Namine says softly.
"Sora, you okay with it?" Kairi asks her boyfriend as she leans into him, pressing her head onto his chest and looking up at him.
The Keyblade Master grins and nods. "Sure, I have no problem with it, Kai," He agrees cheerfully. He looks over at his friend and grins at her. "Who knows, it might be kinda fun to get to know you girls a little more!" He laughs, though Kairi soon elbows him in the ribs at the idea of him getting too close to another girl.
Roxas smiles in his normal, solemn way.
"Then it's settled," He informs Olette. He raises a single finger, the black ring catching their attention completely. "We'll swap the girls for one day and whoever can make the other one the happiest wins. Hmm…" He pauses for a moment before chuckling. "The loser has to do a favor for the girls and for the winner. That alright with you, Sora?"
Sora grins, his natural competitiveness coming out at the idea of getting a favor from his know-it-all Nobody. "Sure! That's good with me!" He says eagerly before quietly letting Kairi down and holding his hand out to shake with Roxas.
With that, the two boys seal the deal and the battle for the Princess of Heart's and the Memory Witch's hearts began.
