I wasn't surprised when I was awakened by a sudden flash of bright light from the window. Riku, my childhood and closest friend, positioned himself on the end of my bed with a smirk." Come on, you can't wallow in your misery forever." Actually I could if I wanted too... I groaned, hoping he'd get the message. Please, just let me skip school another few days. What was the harm?" Roxas, you'll never have a chance if you don't show up." Riku informed impatiently with a hint of worry.
I never had a chance in the first place. Bright emerald eyes filled my thoughts and suddenly it was that much harder to breathe. I concealed my face in the pillow and felt a gentle hand place itself on my shoulder." You're not the only one who's lost..." Riku murmured softly. That's right. Emerald and bright ocean blue... Axel and Sora we're the happiest they could ever be together. They were perfect; so much that it hurt.
"I'm sorry." I said, lifting my face from the covers and pillow. I watched Riku manage a small smile that didn't reach his eyes." It doesn't matter. We both understand how it feels, so we should stick together." Riku always seemed to know what to say. He was so strong and determined; he didn't let things get to his head. I sometimes found myself wishing I could be the same.
"Your right, you should stay home too." I stated tiredly. We had this conversation every time I tried ditching. Riku rolled his eyes and breathed a frustrated sigh." Come on pretty boy!" He grasped the side of my blanket and yanked me off the bed in a quick, graceful movement. I landed with a thunk and mentally cursed myself for not being prepared."Oww! Riku..." I looked up at the boy, who crossed his arms with a smile. This time the smile was beckoning me to follow, to forget everything and just let faith lead the way. Riku held out a hand, and without hesitation I took it and was pulled back to my feet." So I'll be down stairs while you get ready." He gave a small wave before shutting the door and leaving me in doubt . Was I really going to school? How could I face him? I closed my eyes and braced myself for the nightmare to come. Why the hell did things have to be this way?

I scanned the cafeteria that was soaring with people munching on a substance known as 'breakfast', though I was pretty sure it was just dug out of the schools dumpster." I'm proud of you." Riku informed beside me as we searched for a place to sit. Well, I'd still rather be at home.
We took a place in the back by the windows, and there was still no sign of the two love birds. "Stop looking so nervous. Damn, you'd think you've been abused or something." Riku said. I glared at him, but he only ruffled my hair in response. "I just want to get this day over with." I noted sourly.
" Just follow the plan." Riku put an arm around my shoulders and let his gaze meet mine. The beautiful aqua was filled with a hidden secret even I couldn't fully understand. I knew exactly how he felt though.
" Our plan isn't very specific." I murmured. Riku lifted my chin and whispered low enough so no one would overhear." Show them what they're missing." And he leaned in and took my lips captive, catching me off guard. If he was doing this, then it could only mean one thing; Axel and Sora had been watching.
And they must have been full on staring, considering the passion Riku was putting into it. He slid his hand that was once over my shoulders down to my lower back and I had trouble keeping up as his tongue slid along my bottom lip, causing me to open my mouth enough to let him in. He had never kissed me like this before. And honestly, his warmth and the clash of our tongues sent me into a complete daze. I wondered if Axel kissed like this... I began to imagine him with my eyes closed. Pretending it was him who I was holding and brushing through his hair." Man, you guys are worst than us." Axel joked and I pulled back immediately; the sensation leaving me all at once.
Riku wiped his mouth with a smirk," I don't know about that..." I remained silent, and kept my eyes on the floor. I could hear Sora giggle, and felt Riku tense with emotions beside me. " You're right, I don't know how many times this jerk has tried to get me to do it in the janitors closet." I looked up in shock and could almost hear my heart shatter. Sora elbowed Axel in the side playfully. Riku must have felt as sick as I did. I rested my hand on Riku's thigh, somehow hoping it was enough for him to know I was there."This guy is such a pansy! I have to bribe him with food." Axel laughed, completely unaware of the current situation. Bribe? I gulped; Riku didn't look as calm as he was a few seconds ago."hey, no you don't!" Sora exclaimed, blushing scarlet red.
"As much as we'd like to hear how you guys have almost fucked; we have things we need to do in the library." I said with the biggest smile I could manage. I really needed to get as far as I could from them. I grabbed Riku's hand before he could protest and rushed to the library, leaving confused looks on both of their faces.
We were both out of breath when we made it to the doors. It was better than being in the same room as the two dumb asses we had unfortunately fallen in love with." It's been two weeks and he's already trying to fuck him! Damn, do you think they already have?!" Riku couldn't hold in his anger anymore. I watched as he slammed his fists into the nearby lockers. We knew it was only normal for a relationship, but just thinking about Sora being the first one to see Axel that way, and to be the one calling his name out in pleasure... It made my entire body feel like shutting down.
" He can't! Sora's innocent; he can't just take that away." Their words really had affected Riku, more than I would have thought.
"Riku..." I lied my fingers on his shoulder softly. He relaxed into the touch, but his fists remained on the lockers. How were we suppose to do this?
He finally turned to me, determination everywhere in his eyes. "We're going to switch this around... This whole time we've been hoping they'd see us, but we haven't been doing anything. It's time to take action." Riku stated and I felt my body began to shiver. This didn't sound like it was going to be any fun, nor did it sound like a plan Riku would normally come up with. But we were both desperate, barely hanging on; we had no choice.
