Riku's Diary
Dear Diary,
We did it, returned home to a place where nobody remembers our faces or names. Sora and I are playing the roll of mysterious strangers that Kairi played so long ago. She caught me crying the other night for reasons that I will not explain, so she suggested that I keep a diary and record what I am feeling now that I no longer have to worry about my life as I did in the past year. Now I have 'normal' things to worry about, like what I'm going to wear for my first day of High School tomorrow. In some ways I'm glad to be home with Sora, but there something missing. A certain element I found when Sora and I were separate. King Mickey told me once that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but sometimes I think, and worry that my heart developed more fondness that it should have.

"So with all this in account, what does 'A' equal?"
Mr. Grimms said to his apparently bored and disinterested class. His question earned several yawns and a loud belch from somewhere in the back of the class. Nobody was going to volunteer so the teacher's attention turned to the back of the room where his two newest students where sitting. Silver haired, blue eyed and tall, Riku said tilted in his chair in a manner that Mr. Grimms despised. Somehow, he hoped in the back of his mind that some kid leaning in that posture would fall and injure themselves, but that was beside the point. He wasn't going to pick on the boy just because he was leaning awkwardly in his chair. But next to him was someone worth picking on. The humor in it was that the boy sitting there, the one with spiked brown hair and deep ocean eyes had a bit of drool coming from the corner of his mouth. Mr. Grimms loved to embarrass students when they least expected it, especially if that student was asleep.
"Sora!"
Mr. Grimms shouted to the back of the class. The rest of the students turned to face the new kid, expecting him to react, but all they earned was a fleeting glance from the person sitting next to him. Riku smiled and glared back at the students. It always worked; they quickly turned around and minded their own business.
"Sora!"
The teacher shouted more forcefully. Sora stirred only slightly. His eyes fluttered open and he looked around. People were looking at him in surprise and wonder. How could someone ignore the teacher like that, especially the notoriously tempered Mr. Grimms? Sora smiled to him self. In his memories he had always defied Mr. Grimms and was equally notorious. But no one on Destiny Island, save Kairi remembered the old days. He didn't know they answer to the question, yet alone the question itself, so he yawned and rolled his head across the desk, smearing saliva into the desk. The class roared in laughter and Mr. Grimms stalked down the aisle of desks towards Sora. Riku rolled his eyes and planted a shoe in his best friend's back. Sora jerked awake and up from the jolt, right in Mr. Grimms face.
Kairi left after an hour of yelling at Riku and Sora, slamming the screen door of the house that Riku and Sora shared on the edge of the beach. The first day back and the duo had been sent to the Principal's office twice earning a threat of suspension in the first hour of school. Kairi was so furious that she couldn't even see straight. She had spent an hour ranting at them about settling down after their "Misadventure" and taking normal life as seriously as possible.
"How can we take real life seriously?"
Sora asked with a dopey grin on his face.
"When we don't even take you seriously Kairi?"
She smacked him on the head with her school bag, tears in her eyes.
"Fine, don't take my advice. Get in as much trouble as you wish, Get suspended for all I care. I'm glad you two think so highly of me after all I've don't for you!"
And she ran out the house. Riku glared over at his friend and sighed, shaking his head.
"Smooth move there Sora."
Riku said. Sora was busy rubbing his head where Kairi's bag had struck. Riku couldn't help but laugh at Sora's quirky impulsiveness; it was one of his best and distinguishing qualities. A quality that Riku never failed to take into account. The one that made Sora's friendship attractive and worth keeping. Riku found that he was staring at Sora and had to shake off his smile before Sora caught him in the act. He looked away and lounged on the couch for a moment before standing up to leave the room.
"Well this has been fun, but I have things I need to do before supper tonight. It's you're turn to cook by the way."
Riku said. He rounded the couch and headed towards the stairs that lead to the single bedroom in the small house.
Dear Diary,
I did it again; I stared at Sora with what I call my dreamy look. He looked so funny today! I'm going to have to work hard because I find my self doing this more often as the days with him pass. I must admit though, I am enjoying every minute of living under the same roof as him. Being so close to him, I find that it nearly takes my breath away and I have to use all my strength just to stop my self from embracing him. I keep repeating in my head that I'm not queer, but somehow I don't see my feelings as queer or even gay. I guess, without wanting to believe it or wanting to admit it, I'm falling in love with Sora and I don't find it possible not to.
I find my self day dreaming about him in manners that would disgust me in other ways, but for some reason I just want to feel his body against my and know what it is like for him to return my affections however unapparent they are. If I had the guts to seek council on this from Kairi, she'd tell me to confess my feelings. But somehow I don't think Kairi would enjoy me telling her that I have feelings of lust towards my best Male friend, especially the one who she had proclaimed her own love to. I'm going to keep my feelings to me self for now, unless somehow I can get Sora to confess that he too has feelings towards me as well. If I could get him into a place where we would be alone, then maybe, just maybe…
