Okay, this is my first KH fic ever (no duh if you look at the story list. XD). Anyways, yes this will be Riku X Sora for those of you who came here for that. There are mentions of Riku X Roxas, but obviously that's not the reason why you are here. Anyways, enjoy. :3


Water cascaded down the sides of the moving train as one of its passengers rested their head on his hand as he watched the water flow down. He sighed and turned to look at the other passengers of the train. His mother was sleeping and his father reading a book. After surveying his family, Riku looked back out at the window as his mind filtered back to earlier that day.

"Don't forget to call me when you get there."

"Don't worry Roxas, I will. Cheer up please, I'll come visit in a few weeks it's just a train ride away." Riku hugged the blond haired boy.

"I know, but I don't want you to go…" Roxas clung to his shirt and pressed his face into his chest.

"Neither do I but I don't have a choice in the matter." Riku stroked his spiky hair.

"Riku! We need to go!" A woman yelled from the train's door.

"Alright mother!" Rikuyelled back as he let go of the smaller boy. "I'll talk to you later." He leaned down and gave the other boy a kiss and firm hug before walking to the train.

"Riku, Riku wake up. We are here."

Riku opened his eyes; he hadn't even realized he had fallen asleep. He looked out the window and saw a beautiful view of the ocean and a small island not too far off of the coast. The rain had stopped and the sun was beginning to peak out of the clouds. Riku stood up and picked up his bag before slinging it over his shoulder and followed his parents off the train. He and his father picked up the few bags of luggage that they brought with them and headed to the taxi that was waiting for them.

After they had all settled in the car and his father had given the address to the driver, they head on their way. Rikuwatched the town pass by taking in the new area he would live until he could move back to Twilight Town. After a while Riku noticed that they were getting closer to the beach. A little ways down the road, Riku noticed a group of teens performing some skateboarding tricks while other's watched on. When they saw the car coming the skateboarders went to the side of the road.

Rikudid a double take at one of the teens as they drove by the group; he could have sworn the teen was Roxas. Then he noticed that his hair was brown and he himself was taller. Rikuwatched the boy as they drove by, during which time their eyes locked for a split second before Riku broke the contact by sitting back in the car and crossing his arms.

"Hey Sora, earth to Sora." One of the other teens waved their hand in front of his face.

"Huh," Sora blinked and shook his head. "Oh yeah I'm here." He scratched the back of his head.

"You know that guy?"

"Nope, guess he's moving in the house next door." Sora shrugged and pulled out his cell as it rang.

After a few moments he snapped it shut. "I got to go guys. Mom wants me home. See ya later." He smiled as he kicked off on his skateboard towards home.

"Not as big as I thought it would be, but I guess it will suffice."

"It's the largest the company had in this town; we can't always live in a mansion Maleficent."

"Maybe not you Sephiroth, but I can." She flicked her black hair behind her as she headed up to the house.

"I expect you have something to say about this as well Riku?"

"You already know what I have to say father." He stated as he shut the cab door. "I'm here because I have no choice in the matter, but it looks nice for the most part."

"Your mother is far too picky." Sephiroth stated as he took some of the bags from the trunk and headed up to the house.

Rikugrabbed the rest of the bags and headed to the house as well. As he headed up the stairs, he noticed someone on a skateboard heading down the street and turn into the driveway of the house next door. He recognized him as the boy he had eye contact with not even 5 minutes ago. The boy looked over and gave him a smile before kicking his skateboard up and heading inside of his respective house. Riku just looked and walked inside as well.


"We have new neighbors now, Sora." His mother greeted as he walked past the kitchen to his room.

"I know I've seen them, well their son at least." He yelled as he put his board in his room.

"Well I want you to get cleaned up, we are going to go over and welcome them to the town once I'm done with these cookies. "

"Alright." He yelled as he shut his bedroom door and when to shower.


"Riku put that box down and let the men do their job." Maleficent scolded as Riku walked in the house carrying a box full of his belongings.

"I'm fine mother; I'll go crazy if I don't do anything." Riku stated as he carried the box to his room.

He set the box down the window seat and saw the pieces of his bed leaning against the wall. He took the frame and put it together before putting his mattress and box spring down on top of it. By then they had brought in his dresser, desk, and night stand so he set to work to arranging those in his room. After that was done, he went to the box he left on the seat and opened it. He pulled out his bed sheets and unwrapped the breakables from inside of them before putting them on his bed. From the items he unwrapped where his bedside lamp and pictures of his friends from Twilight Town. He set them up on his night stand and his hand lingered on the one of him and Roxas.

Riku sat on his bed and pulled out his cell phone and hit the speed dial button. The phone rang for a few moments before it went to voice mail.

"Hey you've reached Roxas. I can't answer my phone right now so leave a message after the beep."

"Hey, it's me. I'm here. I guess call me back when you have the chance. Bye." Riku snapped his phone shut and set it on his night stand.

He leaned down and rested his elbows on his knees as he put his hands over his face. This was going to be too much for him. He and Roxas had never been apart like this. Heck, he had known him since they were in pre-k. It wasn't until they hit middle school till Roxas told him that he liked him more than a friend. He could never forget the look on Roxas face when he told him that he was moving. It looked like his world had just come crashing down on him.

Riku was brought out of his thought as his phone rang and vibrated on the end table. He reached over and picked it up to see who was calling and rolled his eyes at the caller.

"Yes mother?"

"Come downstairs, we have some visitors."

"And you couldn't have just walked upstairs to tell me that or yelled for me?"

"Don't sass me young man, get down here right now." And with that she hung up.

Riku groaned at his mother's laziness and put his phone in his pocket as he stood up and walked downstairs. As he entered the living room, he noticed the couches and chairs already arranged and 3 people sitting on them. He instantly recognized the spiky brown hair from behind as he walked up to where his mother was sitting facing them.

"Glad you could join us Riku." Maleficent stated as he stood next to her chair. "I want you to meet your father's boss, Cloud Strife, his wife Aerith, and son Sora."

"Nice to meet you." Riku nodded.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Riku." Aerith smiled as Cloud nodded.

"Hiya." Sora grinned at him.

Riku just nodded and looked away from. It was scary to him of how much he looked like Roxas. He could tell right now that it was going to be even harder to live in this town now; not only because he was away from the person he cared about more than anything, but because he would be constantly be reminded by the look alike in front of him.

"I'm sorry to be rude, but may I please go back to my room? I have to finish unpacking." Riku turned to his father.

"Go ahead. Oh, the mover's left some of your boxes down here, take them upstairs please." Sephiroth nodded.

Riku nodded and noticed them by the stairs; he'd have to make two trips.

"Would you like any help?" Sora asked as he noticed the look on Riku's face.

"Sure." He replied as he picked up one of the boxes.

Sora stood up and walked over to the other box, picking it up before following Riku upstairs. He kept the other boy in eye range following Riku to his room. Once there he sat his box next to another box near the door.

"Thanks."

"No problem." Sora nodded and looked around.

It was a pretty decent sized room, bigger than his. He may be the son of the CEO of a major corporation, but that doesn't mean he is spoiled rotten.

"So where did you guys move from?" Sora tried to start a conversation.

"Twilight Town." Riku answered as he took clothes out of some of the boxes and put them in his dresser

"We get a lot of visitors from there during the summer."

"I know, I've come down a few times with my friends."

"Cool. During the summer time my friends and I hang out on the island that's off the coast. It's our own little hang out spot. Maybe one day you could come out with us." Sora leaned against the door frame with his arms folded.

"I'll see." He started hanging up the clothes that needed to be hung up.

There was a moment of silence before Aerith yelled to Sora that it was time to go.

"Well I'll see ya later. Feel free to come by if you want to hang out or something." Sora smiled and gave a wave before walking downstairs.

"Bye." Riku looked up at and nodded towards him.
