Sora woke up listening to Bob Franke's song, Hard Love. He had read the book and loved it, he hated the song though. It sounded more like a poem then a song.

"Yes, it's hard love, but its love all the same. Not the stuff of Fantasy, but more than just a game." He sang. That was the only good part in his opinion. He smiled as he pulled his shirt over his head. He didn't know why, mostly because Riku was going to ask him out today.

Kairi was told by Roxas who was told by Naminé who over heard Zexion talking to Larxene about Riku and Sora. Rumor has it Riku was going to ask him out today. Sora was excited and disappointed that he knew before it was going to happen. He wished it were a surprise. And then there was the fact that Riku might have second thoughts and not ask him out. Sora shook his head of all negative thoughts.

He took a deep calming breath and walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. His room mate, Roxas was busy making waffles and trying desperately not to burn them like he always did.

"Morning." Sora coughed.

"Morning." Roxas stated, clearly engrossed in his burning waffles. "Damn it."

"Burnt it?"

"How did you know?"

Sora laughed, "Because you always focus on one part of the waffle and not the rest. Why don't you just use the toaster?"

"Because if I do then it tastes like a bagel and not a waffle."

Sora walked over to the counter and sat on it, pulling out a box of cereal. He shook it, "Then go for co-co puffs. You can never go wrong with the bird."

"I'm sticking with the dough boy."

"Suit yourself." Sora shrugged and ate out of the box. He sat on the counter and ate as Roxas began to sing.

"She's gotta lip ring and five colours in her hair. Not into fashion, but I love the clothes she wears, her tattoo's always hidden by her underwear, she don't care." Roxas had an okay voice, but he listened to the most emo weird music ever.

Sora choked on his cereal, "Who does that remind you of?"

"Let's see? Hmmm, I'd have to say Emylee." Roxas smirked, Emylee had a huge crush on Axel, but she was just another faceless kid in this story. "Today's the big day huh?" Roxas changed the subject.

"Ya, stupid science test."

"Sora, I was talking about Riku." Roxas smiled.

"Oh. Ya, I hope he doesn't chicken out."

"Something tells me he won't"

"What, the voices inside your head?"

"Shut up." Roxas said with a mouth full of waffle. Sora jumped off the counter and put the cereal away.

"I'm driving; I'll give you five minutes to get yourself down to the car." Sora grabbed the keys to an old rabbit and his coat.

School dragged on as it always did when Sora waited for something. It was almost lunch though and that's when Riku was supposed to ask him out. Sora took notes on To Kill a Mockingbird. He had already read the book, but not in school. Ms. Chivero asked such crazy questions about the book. She was a nutty teacher though. Sora looked at the clock. Ten minutes left. He raised his hand to go to the bathroom. Ms. Chivero reluctantly let him go and resumed teaching her lesson.

Sora put his hands in his pockets as he walked to the bathroom. He pushed the door open; to his luck the bathroom was empty. Sora sunk against the wall and waited for the time to pass. The door opened and who else but Riku walked in.

"Hey." Riku smiled as he stood in front of Sora. "I knew you'd be in here."

"How?"

"When ever you don't want to do something you go hide in the bathroom until lunch. You trying to get out of English class?"

"Ya. I wish we were in the same class. Then we could go through hell together." Sora made Riku laugh.

"Well, see you at lunch." Riku smiled seductively hiding something. Sora looked at his watch, class would be letting out soon, but to be safe he stood and counted out the seconds. He was on twenty when the lunch bell rang.

"Finally." Sora opened the door and was pushed into the lunch room traffic. He instantly spotted his crush, who was waving him over to an empty lunch table. Sora pushed through the students and sat down, trying to catch his breath.

"You're like a lost puppy dog." Kairi said. "As soon as you see him you start wagging your tail and tripping over your own feet."
"Oh shush." Riku smirked. "Hey Sora, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Um, sure." Sora tried to say coolly, but it sounded too desperate. He mentally cursed himself. Sora fallowed Riku out of the school and into the courtyard.

"You know, there's been a rumor going around that I would ask you out today." Riku said as he sat on a stone bench.

"And is it true."

"You know it is."

"So…" Sora stalled.

"Will you…ya' know, go out with me?"

"Hell yes!" Sora jumped on Riku and kissed him. Sora was able to slip his tongue in when Riku gasped. Their tongue's wrestled as an audience built up. People started to scream things like "Whoo- hoo!" and "Take it off!" Sora pulled away from Riku, embarrassed.

Riku took Sora's hand and led him away from the crowd; shameless as he was he was a god among men. Sora blushed his apology and Riku laughed.

"Sorry." Sora lowered his head.

"Don't apologize."

"Oh right Sorry."

Riku laughed. The lunch bell rang. The two boys kissed and departed to their next class.
