Riku's New Pet - (Riku x Sora)
Just a normal day in school; supposedly

"Well Sora, I hope you enjoyed napping in my class. You can stop by after school to copy the notes you missed." The young teacher snapped before returning to his lesson.

Sora Hikari groaned as he was scolded once again for falling asleep in class. No matter how hard he tried to stay awake, he wasn't able to do it; he just couldn't focus on anything. Of course, it wasn't his fault it if his home life was getting more and more hectic. He sighed, staring out the window, catching tiny bits of his teacher's crappy lecture about random crap.

He snickered silently to himself before glancing around the classroom until he found what he was looking for; his best friend, Riku Kurayami. He and Riku had known each other since middle school; they were the closest of friends. They knew everything from the other's favorite food to their favorite public bathroom (quite an interesting story, might I add.)

Riku abruptly stopped copying the notes from the board, Sora's stare finally catching his attention. Shaking his head and taking a quick glance at the teacher, who was writing on the board still, Riku turned back to Sora and stuck his tongue out at him, playfully. Sora grinned, giving a small wink in return, and then turning to his notebook, pretending to study. Giggling inside his head, pretty soon Sora began thinking of his friendship with Riku. Don't get me wrong, he loved that silver haired freak very dearly and Riku felt the same about the spiky haired dork but Sora often wondered if he loved Riku like a brother or something much more. Sora blushed slightly as he began writing something in his notebook.

Riku was always so nice to Sora; when they were younger, Riku would stand up for him. Sora had always wanted to do something in return for him but there wasn't anything that he was good at. He tried standing up for Riku once but it had only gotten them both hurt. Once he asked Riku if there was anything at all that he could possibly do to repay him for his kind-ness and the only thing the boy said was: If you want to repay me... then just be my friend, Sora; that's all I need.

Sora sighed again, this time more of a dreamy fan girl sigh, as he thought about the aquamarine eyed beauty with the sweetest heart, before he took a glance at his notebook.

Sora and Riku
Forever, and ever, and ever, and eve

Sora's eyes widened and his blush thickened as he disposed of the page the best he could; he ate it. He ripped it to shreds then shoved the shreds into his mouth. Once he thought it was illegible enough he threw the soaked shreds into another piece of paper and balled that up, too. With a twitch and a sickening snicker, Sora stared at the board, no longer tired or able to pay attention to anything; not even the bell that ran two minutes later.

"Sora... I said, Sora!"

Sora's thoughts were interrupted when a heavy back pack collided with the back of his head.

"Ah! What!?"

Sora looked up to see an adorable, smiling Riku, a cute little giggle emitting from him. Sora blushed and turned away from before he peeked at him from the corner of his eye; biggest mistake of his life. Riku smile flattened into a scowl, the giggle turning into a growl as Riku began yelling at his best friend.

"Sora! Stop being so damn irresponsible! You're falling asleep in class, you stopped turning in homework, you class work is late- will you get it together already!?"

The forgotten teacher watched as Riku lectured the boy, a smirk slipping onto his face as he turned back to his work. Meanwhile, Sora could only stare in shock; Riku never yelled at him like that before! Sure it was meant to help him get it together but he could help getting a little discouraged by it. He stared at the ground, his once slightly hyper mood now completely gone, until he heard a chuckle.

"Aw... I'm sorry, Sora. I was only kidding; I didn't mean to make you cry."

"I'm not crying!" Sora sniffled, his eyes just a tad bit glassy.

Riku couldn't help but laugh again as he slid his thumb beneath Sora's eye, wiping the tears away. Sora turned his head, pouting and blushing just as heavily as before when Riku spoke up again.

"C'mon. I'm sorry, okay? We gotta head to our next class."

"Fine... You owe me lunch, Riku!"

Riku nodded as he grabbed Sora's bag and they headed out the room to their next period class.

-

"Sora, Riku!" Kairi Kawaige, the president of the Riku-Sora Boy's Love Club and number one fan girl.

Sora groaned as he forced a fake smile toward the bright eyed girl.

"Morning, Kairi."

The slightly... naïve girl bounced over to them then grabbing their hands and lead them over to their table.

"Hey, guys!" Olette Tsuizui; second in command of the club and also somewhat of a stalker.

The boys gave a nod of hello as they took their seats, Riku handing Sora's bag to him. As the brown haired boy blushed softly, accepting the bag from his best friend, the two yaoi obsessed fan girls, sat across from them, drooling over the cute-ness of it all.

"What are you two fantasizing about now?"

"Wait, Riku, I doubt you really want to know."

Riku thought for a moment before he shuddered, praying they weren't going to answer him.

"Well Riku—"

"Oh! Would you look at that, I left my jacket in the other room. Walk me Riku?"

Riku nodded as he shot out of his seat, grabbing Sora's arm in the process, and darted out of the room. About halfway to the other class room, Riku slowed down and sighed, his dash becoming a walk. He turned to Sora, grinning before playfully hitting the shorter boy's arm.

"Thanks. I'd rather not hear their disturbing fantasies."

Sora smiled and laughed a little as he stopped at a nearby water fountain. Holding a finger up to Riku, signaling for him to wait, Sora turned to take a drink from the fountain.

Riku yawned and glanced at Sora, the only thing catching his eye being the smaller boy's rear. The silver haired student zoned out, still staring at Sora's bottom, almost as if time slowed down. As his hand reached out slowly to grab the tempting underside of the younger student, Riku's head began tilting to the side a bit, his tongue slightly hanging loose. Once his hand was but a mere inch away, Sora turned around causing him to snap out of his stupor and snatch his hand away quickly. Sora, being the dense child he was, smiled, not noticing Riku's slight twitch.

"Shall we keep moving?" Then grin on his face never faltered as Riku let out an unnoticed breath.

"Yea." Riku knew Sora didn't leave anything in the other class.

They were going to walk around until lunch, knowing Kairi and Olette would grab their stuff (probably go through it too) so they headed to the roof of the building.

"Finally, some fresh air!" Sora inhaled deeply, his eyes shut peacefully, a small grin planted firmly on his face.

Riku watched as his best friend stood in the afternoon light before he chuckled to himself. Sneaking up behind the small brunette, Riku wrapped his arms around his waist, loosely, moving close to whisper in his ear.

"She's taking pictures." And sure enough, just as Riku murmured that, there was a random fan girl with a camera taking pictures of the two of them.

"R-Riku! You don't mind?"

He smiled playfully and gave Sora a small squeeze.

"I just want something to laugh at. Besides, I want to see how this looks."

You see, to Sora, Riku was constantly flirting with him. When it was agreed that Sora and Riku kept no secrets from one another, that wasn't entirely true. Sora had the hugest crush on Riku. Not only that but, the brown-haired student much preferred guys over girls, if you know what I mean.

Sora soon began to take advantage of Riku's consent, placing his hands on the arms around his waist, letting his head fall back and rest on the crook of Riku's neck.

"You're so cute, Sora."

"What?!" Sora pulled himself away and turned to face Riku only to have him grab his hands in the process.

"It's true. You're so adorable." As he spoke, Riku began backing Sora up against the gate blocking the edge of the roof.

As he placed a hand lightly against the smaller boy's cheek, he smiled. Sora blushed as Riku slowly leaned toward his neck but unknown to the younger student, Riku discreetly looked toward the fan girl who had passed out at some point, probably from the loss of blood. Riku snickered as he dragged Sora off the roof and down toward the cafeteria for lunch.

"I had to get you out of there somehow, So-chan. Sorry if I freaked you out." Riku apologized as they ran down the hallway once again.

"Damn right you freaked me out!" Sora replied in between heavy breaths.

Riku chuckled as he dragged his pal down the stairs, stopping on the stairway to let Sora catch his breath.

"That was... wrong!"

"You know you liked it." Riku smirked as he let out another chuckle.

Sora could only glare at him before sighing softly.

"Sora--! Ooh, what were you two doing, huh?"

"Can it, Roxxie."

Roxas Daidoji and Axel Tariiyata were sitting at their usual lunch table (which was with Riku and Sora,) Axel's arm wrapped loosely around Roxas' waist. As the red haired pyromaniac took a huge chunk out of his burger, Roxas kissed his cheek, a huge grin on his face afterwards.

"Faggot." Riku joked with a cute lisp (a gay one) as he walked past them both, still clinging to Sora's arm.

"What would you like for lunch, boys?"

"Kinda empty today, eh, Riku?"Sora said, talking about the slightly empty room.

Riku snickered before ordering his usual, burger and fries, while Sora decided to be brave.

"I'll take... the sausage pizza."

The entire lunchroom gasped. Sora had NEVER eaten anything other than the peach fruit cups and sometimes some chicken nuggets; eating too much made him sleepy. He looked around at all the strange stares (even from Riku and the lunch lady) before turning back to her.

"Could ya hurry on that order?"

Back at the table, Roxas and Axel were chatting happily as their two friends sat down.

"Soooora! Let me try some."

"No! I didn't get to eat breakfast today! Leave me alone." Sora poked and stared in slight disgust at the strange new...thing, as he spoke.

Roxas began to pout until Axel grabbed Sora's tray, picking up the slice and taking a bite before feeding a little to Roxas. Riku snickered at Sora's glare as he handed his cow patty to the brown-haired boy for a taste.

"Eat."

Sora stared at him before hesitantly taking a small bite, expecting a terrible taste.

"It's," he continued to chew timidly before become much bolder; actually swallowing it, "good."

Riku smiled as he gave Sora a pat on the back.

"Welcome to the world of the living!"

-

The last three periods had gone by in a breeze for Sora but that was where the hard part began. It was Friday and it was the time when Sora had to make millions of plans just to make sure he didn't have to spend anytime at home. The reason is, his step dad, Jason, didn't like him very much(he thought he was a transvestite.) So Sora didn't want to be around that guy or even his mother because, of course, Jason would never lie to her, or so she said.

Pulling out his cell phone, Sora began dialing random numbers, praying one or two of his friends would want to hang out for almost the entire weekend.

"Kairi? Hey, are you busy?"

There was a bunch of squeals in the background followed by snickering until the young girl answer.

"Sorry, Sora. I'd love to hang out with you but my gang and I have some work to catch up on."

"Kay. Talk to you later then." After hanging up, Sora sighed, praying silently that Kairi and her friends were the only ones.

Dialing a few new numbers, Sora was ready to try again.

"Roxxie? You wan—"

"Ah! S-Sora can w-we talk la-later?"

There was a beep (signaling that Roxas had just hung up the phone) and Sora cringed, knowing he just interrupted the two lovers during their intimate little... game. Sora sighed once again and dialed more and more numbers, each person having some strange excuse about not having any spare time. So, Sora, who was beginning to panic, pulled out his secret weapon and last resort. Riku.

"Heeeey, Riku. Are you busy today, tomorrow, and possibly Sunday as well?"

Riku chuckled before he responded to the troubled teen.

"Everyone else had plans, huh? Yea, I'll come over. Meet me at your house, alright?"

Sora agreed and as soon as they hung up, he cheered happily. As he dashed off for the subway, knowing(or atleast assuming) that Riku was doing the same, he realized something. The race was on.
