Chapter One: A Destined Meeting

"Love is an attempt to change a piece of a dream-world into reality." Henry David Thoreau

Infinite. That was the word he was looking for. No matter where he looked there was no end. It made him truly wonder how big this place really was. He let out a deep sigh while running his fingers through his shoulder-length silver hair. How long has this been going on for now? A week, maybe longer. He couldn't remember but just wanted to awaken so that it would be over.

Every night it was the same. He would end up in this dream-world while he slumbered. The place was beautiful but he would rather have dreams where he could actually do something. Like fly. He heard that flying in dreams was common so why couldn't he just have that. Fate is truly cruel sometimes.

He couldn't really describe where he was well. Grass covers most of the area except for the river. Ah, the river. It had the clearest water he has ever seen. Good to know pollution hasn't gone everywhere yet.

'It would really suck to have pollution-infested water even in my dreams.' The boy thought as he gazed into the river. He crouched down beside the river and put one hand into the river. The water ran smoothly across his skin in a gentle rhythm. He wanted to drink some just to see if it would taste as good as it looks but didn't want to bother. He should be awakening soon anyways. He stood up from his crouched position and gazed into the distance, trying to look surpass the horizon. His vision was only greeted by more grass and the occasional flower.

When he first began having these dreams he tried walking around to see if there was anything else besides the river. Everywhere he went, though, the river was there. It really is endless.

'Or it could just be in a giant circle. Can rivers do that?' The boy continued to have thoughts about the secrets of the place. Suddenly his vision began to blur and what was close seemed to be moving further and further away. The boy let out a sigh of contentment. 'Finally.'

Riku woke up to the sound of his alarm, "Good morning Destiny Islands! It's going to be another hot one today so-". Riku shut the alarm off before the man could finish. It was hot everyday. What was the point of hearing it every morning? Riku lazily dragged himself into the washroom to do his daily routine of washing up. He could hear his mother making breakfast in the kitchen and his stomach growled in response. He really was famished.

A yawn escaped Riku's lips as he descended the staircase to the lower level of his house. He entered the kitchen and was greeted by the aroma of freshly made pancakes. How he adored them. He took his seat and waited while his mother finished making the food.

"Morning honey!" His mother said when she noticed he was already in the kitchen.

"Morning." Riku wearily replied.

His mother put a stack of pancakes on the plate in front of him. Riku grabbed the nearby bottle of maple syrup. The pancakes were even better when they were sugar-coated. Riku poured the syrup on his pancakes like he would never have it again. His mother gave him a worried glance.

"Would you like some pancakes with that syrup." She asked obviously amused.

Riku just blinked and gave her a look of confusion.

"Do you know how much sugar you just put on them?"

"Of course I do. That's why I'm putting this much on." With that said Riku began eating his syrup with pancakes.

"Hurry up. You're going to be late for school."

"Wouldn't that be a shame." Riku stated; sarcasm clearly evident in his tone.

Riku quickly said goodbye and left for school before his mother got upset by his sarcastic reply.

Riku finished up the last of his homework and looked at his clock to check the time.

'How is it already midnight?!... I really don't feel like going to dream-world anytime soon.'

Riku tried to stay awake for as long as he could by playing video games, reading any form of writing he could find and just trying to keep his brain working. Unfortunately the brain must rest and for that Riku cursed his brain as his eyes began to droop slowly. Soon everything went dark and Riku once again entered his dream world.

Riku found himself again in the unknown place. He had a bit of hope that tonight would be different but no fate despised him and wanted him to have a very boring slumber along with his very boring normal life. Didn't he feel special.

'Why can't I have my old dreams back? I really enjoyed the ones with the cheerleaders and dancing pancakes.'

Riku headed toward the river. Maybe today something would actually happen and since he can't go anywhere else that something would probably happen near the river. Riku crouched down beside the river and looked into it. If it was supposed to be a river, why didn't it seem to be shallow? He couldn't even see the bottom. Now Riku was beginning to get upset. He could handle this stupid dream for a few days but this is now bordering his patience.

'I'm really starting to hate this place."

He couldn't take it anymore. The silence and simplicity was killing him! He just wanted to get all his anger out on something but there was nothing. Whenever he stopped on a flower they would just prompt themselves back up.

"Stupid immortal flowers." Riku whispered while trying to kick some of the ground around him. "I want my dancing pancakes!!!" Riku shouted. He was answered by silence. 'Super.'

"What was that about dancing pancakes?"

Startled by a voice that wasn't his own, Riku quickly turned his head towards the sound of the voice. His vision was greeted by a boy, no older than fifteen. Riku just kept staring with his mouth slightly agape from disbelief. Someone was actually standing only a mere few meters away. Perhaps this dream just got a tinge bit more interesting.

Riku continue to look at the boy. He really couldn't help it. The boy's eyes were mesmerizing. These weren't any ordinary shade of blue. No, they were more…unique. They were as stunning as the sky on a clear, cloudless day but also seemed to be deeper and more meaningful like the ocean. What truly shocked Riku the most, though, would be the boy's hair. It was wild but it suited the boy. The spikes going in every direction amused Riku and he had a weird desire to see what they feel like with his fingers.

The boy looked around as if he were expecting to see something at any moment. "I don't see any dancing pancakes." The boy said and ending with an adorable pout.

It finally registered in Riku's mind that indeed he was no longer alone and that he really should try to communicate to the boy. "Um…hi?" Riku stated with confusion.

"Hi! This is a neat place you got here. By the way, what exactly is 'here'? Did I win some contest or something?" The boy resumed looking around but soon had a bored expression on his face. "Um, no offence but your place seems really boring. Is there like an exit?"

"I wish." Riku stated. The boy was surprised by Riku's voice. He was beginning to think the guy only new one word or something.

"This is not my place. To tell you the truth I don't know what this place is. All I know is that I dream and I come here while I sleep. It really is boring and you learn to dislike constant silence very much, especially when you have been coming here for days." Riku added. He let out a sigh. "Anyways, who are you?"

The boy was cut out of his thoughts by Riku's question. "Oh! I'm…I'm…who am I?" The boy's face saddened and he began to stare at his hands intently.

"Um, are you okay?" Riku asked concerned with the boy's sudden change of behaviour. The boy stayed silent while in his own personal thoughts.

'Okay then…' "Well, my name is Riku and I'm from Destiny Islands."

They boy finally looked up at Riku but he still had the sad expression plastered on his face. "My name is…um…it's...damn I should know this!" The boy seemed to be getting frustrated now. He began pacing back and forth as if he were trying to solve an advanced mathematical equation. Riku was now slightly frightened by the boy but also amused which he thought was terrible. 'The guy has some sort of amnesia type thing and I find it amusing. I wonder about myself sometimes.'

Riku continued to watch the boy pace. He really wanted to know his name. Riku let out a long sigh.

"Hey, listen it's-"

"Sora!!"

"What?" Riku asked very confused at the boy's sudden outburst.

"Sora!! That's my name! My name is Sora!" The boy shouted while doing little jumps up and down to give himself silent praises.

"Oh. Okay. Well, Sora…why exactly are you here? This is supposedly my dream you know."

"I don't know."

"Oh. Do you remember anything at all? Anything will do."

"Well…I…um…that is…no."

"Great. Well you're just some guy in my dream who is probably just a part of my imagination. That would have to mean that this entire thing or place was technically made by me. What I don't understand is why I would create someone with no recollection of anything. Can't I actually make an interesting person with at least some sort of past? Television really has affected me." Riku said pondering the events happening and trying to put some pieces together.

Sora was fuming. 'I am so real!' "Hey!" Sora yelled catching Riku's attention from his thoughts. "I am too real. I'm not some figment of your imagination! I may not remember things but there has to be a reason. I know I have a past. It just feels like the links to my memories have vanished and I have to piece a lot of things together."

Riku was stunned. "So…are you trying to tell me that some random guy, meaning you, just walked into my dreams with no recollection of the past and that you do exist? This sounds like something in a weird fantasy novel."

"What if it is true? What if somehow our dreams have become interconnected or something?"

Riku just stared at Sora speechless. 'Now I know I really am dreaming.'

Suddenly Riku was filled with a familiar feeling. His vision became blurry and he noticed that Sora was moving further and further away. 'Why did this dream seem shorter than the others?'

Riku was once again awakened by the sound of his alarm. Before the man could speak about the current weather, Riku quickly turned off the alarm. He really didn't want to hear about how hot it was today again. 'Repetitiveness can really get annoying.'

While Riku did his usual morning routine thoughts ran through his mind about his latest dream. 'I'll admit it certainly was different than the others.'

"I am too real. I'm not some figment of your imagination!"

'Why do I care who that boy is? I'm sure he's doing fine. Wait does that mean I actually believe he is real?! If he is he probably just woke up like me and is living a normal life. Maybe it was just a one time thing where he somehow invaded my dreams.' Riku let out a deep sigh. It really did sound like some romantic fantasy novel. Riku slightly blushed at the thought. He didn't have time for romance nonsense like this anyways. If he wanted to start impressing some universities he had to devote most of his time to studying. He knew it would all pay off in the future but many knew it and he knew it, his life is 'repetitive'.

This originally was going to be a super long oneshot but I decided to just divide it into multiple chapters and possibly make it longer so that it won't feel as rushed.

Please excuse any grammatical or spelling errors I may have missed while revising. Reviews are appreciated:)
