You Dirty Thief
Background: This story takes pace before the event of Kingdom Hearts. Slightly AU but only if you don't have an imagination.
Sora was pissed... no pissed wasn't the word to describe what he was feeling right now. As a matter of fact Sora couldn't remember ever being this pissed off over something that wasn't about food. Speaking of which...
Sora pulled him self out of his bed that was already starting to become uncomfortable to him. It felt like his anger was seeping out of him like a mist and swirling around his bed. Threatening to suffocate him, if that was possible.
Sora had decided to make his way downstairs and get something to eat. Maybe he could take out his anger by eating some left over pizza in a very violent manner, he though. Sora couldn't help but smirk at himself for such a thought. 'Riku would laugh at me if he heard that'.
"Riku...." Sora spat the name out like a bitter medicine, snapping him back to his current situation with said best friend. Although Sora was pretty sure that it wasn't gonna stay like that for much longer. Yes Sora was pissed, and when Sora got pissed he got hungry. Which actually wasn't saying much because most emotions that crossed Sora's persona made him hungry.
Riku was flooding his mind at the moment though. He admitted to himself that it was slightly unusual for any angry thoughts to accompany Riku in his mind. However, this phenomenon was happening more and more during the recent months. Sora knew the reason for this but not the motive behind it. This frustrated Sora fueling his anger even more.
He pulled the refrigerator open with malice, thinking maybe that was a little too hard as it hit the wall beside it with a bang. 'I better cool it before I cause some damage and then get my parents added on the list of people that are really starting to piss me off.' Which wasn't an actually list, considering that it only consisted of one name at the moment, Riku's.
He grabbed himself a slice of cold, leftover pizza and sat down in a kitchen chair directly behind him and began to eat and brood. 'Why is Riku doing this to me? What have I done to him? I already have enough trouble with it as it is then he has to come and snatch everything away at my moment of glory.'
Flashback
"S-so anyway I uh... I um...." Sora was trying really hard to push his words out but for some reason his mouth... and windpipe... and lungs were completely against the idea of talking coherently at the moment.
"Just spit it out Sora, unless you went nuts and killed my parents I really don't think that anything that your gonna say is really worth all this fuss." A cute blind girl whose name just happened to be Mayla retorted.
"Well the thing is that... well if you not going with anyone else I mean.... maybe you um.... wouldyouliketogotothedancewithme." Sora heaved looking around expecting the entire school populous to come rushing from whatever they were doing to gawk at him. 'Real smooth Sora there goes that diarrhea of the mouth again, you open your mouth and crap just comes pouring out.'
Mayla smiled, she knew what he wanted but it was always a little cute in her mind to see a boy squirm... just a little. "I would love to Sora, we'll hammer this out tomorrow ok i'm already running late though, C ya." She piped and then turned on heal and headed in the opposite direction.
"Yeah sure, cya", Sora managed to ooze out before she got out of earshot. Then he mentally melted into a puddle of relief and seeped into the cracks in the floor.
Sora snapped out of it when he realized that the inhuman amounts of anxiety juice that had been pumping into his system during that little ordeal had brought on the call of nature. He gathered him self off the floor were he had slid down the wall and stepped it out to the "lavatory" as his history teacher referred to it as. Although Sora never thought that the conclusion of the eating cycle was hardly a science experiment but what did he know of science, except that aluminum foil and drain cleaner explodes when you put it in a bottle and shake it up. Riku was kind enough to show him this and what incited was hours of fun at the expense of others. Sora pushed open the "lavatory" noticing immediately the back of said fellow trouble maker's head as he stood at the urinal apparently greatly enjoying the relief that was washing over him at the moment. Sora blushed slightly; whenever he saw Riku in that kind of position it always brought on the thought of what exactly he was "holding onto" so to speak. Sora noticed that this never happened with anyone else but never stopped to analyze this. Shaking it off and following the unspoken urinal etiquette that all males seem to now from the moment of birth, Sora skipped the stall immediately beside Riku and took the next one.
Riku opened his eyes and took notice of Sora. "Hey Sora how's it hanging", Riku chuckled obviously enjoying his own joke.
Sora blushed a little more as one of those "I need to stop staying up so late playing video games Riku thoughts" that he had some to know them as crossed his mind. Recovering quickly and not missing a beat he picked up on Riku's joke. "Pretty good, a little to the left but not bad". He replied with one of his wide toothy grins.
This caused Riku to chuckle even more. Partly because it was funny and partly because he still never figured out how Sora managed to show that many teeth with out them falling out of his face and still be cute about it. Riku sighed mildly after the cute part, which drew an eyebrow from Sora, to which Riku changed the subject smoothly.
"So Sora who was that girl that you were talking to in the hall, I saw you on the way over here," asked Riku and at the same time answering the question that he was sure Sora was gonna ask. Sora was so clueless sometimes, and that one of the characteristics that drove Riku mad.
So giggled "Her name is Mayla, I've been trying to work up the guts to ask her to the dance for days and I just got around to doing it." Sora replied.
"Really, what did she say," Riku queried, successfully hiding the anxiousness in his voice and at the same time zipping up and turning away just incase.
"She said yes," Sora chirped happily.
'Good thing I turned around' thought Riku, as he could not hide the disappointment on his face.
"She said that we would hammer it out tomorrow," continued Sora, oblivious to the plan that was forming in Riku's mind.
Riku eyes narrowed monetarily, "how come you didn't tell me before that you were talking to this girl before Sora."
"Oh well I... uh didn't think that it was that important," Sora managed to blurt out before finishing up with two good shakes.
Riku stared at him for a moment and Sora fought the urge to bite his bottom lip. He knew good and well why he neglected to tell Riku until the "deal was sealed" but he wasn't sure if his suspicions were correct and he didn't want to accuse Riku of a crime that he could very well be innocent of.
Riku simply raised his brows and and made small sound signifying that he bought it. Sora breathed an inaudible sigh of relief. He really hated keeping secrets from Riku they were best friends after all and told each other everything. However he justified it with the logic that Riku was keeping something from him. That was the only reason to explain his recent actions over the past months.
"Well anyways I guess that ill talk to you later," Riku chimed; Sora gave him one of his grins and nodded.
"Ill see you when we get home Riku," and with that he left to carry out the rest of the day. Which wasn't very much since it was near the end of the day, with only one period to go and Sora never paid much attention to algebra anyway. It wasn't like he was ever gonna need to include letters in his math for the rest of his life.
Riku didn't end up coming home until about 2 hours after Sora did. Sora though this was a little strange but then again Riku was a pretty popular guy and Sora envied him a little because of it, so perhaps he got caught up with something or someone. However once Riku came home and Sora questioned him about it Riku dismissed it with the excuse that the coach had wanted his opinion on a few plays that he had cooked up for next season. Sora normally would have went for this however the odd thing was, Sora thought, that during this whole excuse Riku wouldn't look up at his face. Afterwards Riku dismissed himself stating that he had a big report for English class and that he needed to stop procrastinating and get to work. This left Sora on his own for the day, which wasn't all bad because it gave him an excuse to get to work on some of the school work that he had been putting off or had not done at all and had come up with some lame but believable excuse as to why.
The next morning though Sora woke up in the usual manner. Alarm goes off, hit snooze, mumble incoherently and go back to sleep for ten more minutes. Then rinse and repeat until parents scream for him to get his lazy ass out of bad. At which time said lazy ass would slid off the bed not bothering to turn on a light and feel around for clothes, books, etc until his eyes would rest on the clock causing him to squeak in panic and go rushing out the door, down the street to school, which was only about a quarter mile away. At which time about 2-3 minutes later he would come bursting to the front door of said school looking like the demons of Satan himself were chasing him. However fellow student were so used to seeing his hair, clothes and well... him in this condition that it became the normal look for Sora and student just dismissed it as his own unique style. So it wasn't a completely bad thing.
However once Sora settled down into his first class and let him mind settle into the monotonous routine that was school he got the impending feeling that something bad was going to happen. However this was forgotten when he remembered that today he and Mayla were going to discuss the particulars of the dance, mostly for her sake. What he was wearing and what she was wearing etc. The day drew on with the same drabble, teachers talk and Sora perfects the art of looking like he's paying attention while in fact drawing or day dreaming or sleeping. Until he could see Mayla after seventh period (8 periods in the day) when she came out of the class next to his. Finally when Sora had almost convinced himself that what ever deity was in control of the universe was screwing with time just to mess with him the bell for seventh period dismissal rang.
Sora immediately bolted outside to wait for Mayla to emerge from class. When she finally did however, the look that was written on her face was far from the happy smile that Sora was hoping for.
"Sora we have to talk," stated Mayla.
Sora was not an expert on love or life; as a matter of fact he was far from. However he knew enough to know that in the history that follows the interaction between males and a females that no were in there has those four words ever brought about something good. Sora, however, was nonetheless hopeful that he would not become a statistic in that already very long list.
"What about Mayla?" Sora asked giving her and extra viewing of his pearly whites in an attempt to soften the situation.
"Sora I can't go with you to the dance," Mayla stated simply, she was not trying to be so cruel but she knew that when it came to Sora subtlety was not an option.
"W-w-what, why I mean.... I thought," Sora started feeling the urge to break down right there and run away.
"Well it's just yesterday after school Riku he... he asked me to go to the dance with him. I know that its cruel and that your gonna hate me from now on but I've always dreamed of being with Riku and I can't pass up this chance," Mayla finished with a sigh. "I'm so sorry Sora."
That was it, it happened again. Oh no this wasn't the first time that this has happened, oh not by a long shot. Time and time again Riku has done this, every time Sora finally worked up the nerve to make his move on a girl. Every time Sora had won the battle with self doubt. Riku was there, usually before he made his move Riku took her way with his good looks, charm and popularity. What made it worse is that the relationships never lasted more then a few days before the girl was dropped to the wayside and Sora was left too hurt to try again. Good old Riku always an excuse though. "I didn't know that you liked her Sora," or "Oh you mean that Dana I though you meant the other one, you know, the one with the red hair, what's her last name I forgot," or his personal favorite "I forgot that you had a thing for her she never mentioned it to me though, that's weird, i'm really really sorry Sora. Do you forgive me?" Of course there not gonna say anything, and miss their chance with Riku. Of course he forgave him, they were best friends right?
This time was different though, this time he saw the girl, he knew her name. Yet he still did it again. Why?
"Sora?"
"Sora?"
"Sora are you OK?"
By this time Sora fists were balled up so tightly that his knuckles were white and he was dangerously close to cutting into hot own palms with his nails. This was too much he couldn't take it any more. Sora snapped his head up and accompanied it with a hate filled shriek. He was tired of living in Riku shadow, he was tired of Riku treating him this way.
Sora stormed down the hallway and burst out of the front door of the school running full speed back to his house, his sanctuary. Not caring about missing the period all he wanted was to be far away from wherever Riku was at the moment.
End Flashback
And this is were we find Sora at the moment. Sitting at the kitchen table tearing angrily at an unfortunate piece of pizza. Brooding, hating Riku to the core of his being. Riku haunted every aspect of his life, he was better looking, stronger, smarter, more popular. Even in Sora dreams Riku haunted him, causing him to wake up in the mornings after a fuzzy dream of Riku sticky for some odd reason. He questioned his father about this phenomenon and his father merely chuckled and said not to worry about it that it was normal, and that he would understand eventually.
Sora couldn't understand what he had ever done to Riku to cause him to hurt him in this way. Had he wronged Riku somehow? He wracked his brain for answers and failed to come up with one.
That's when his pride decided to chime in "it's because he thinks that you weak." "What, i'm not weak," Sora defended. "Really then why is it that when you suspected this in the first place, that he was intentionally doing this to you, why didn't you do anything. He's doing this because he know that he can, because he know you won't do anything about it, because you're weak."
The more Sora turned this over in his mind the more it made sense, and the more it made sense the angrier her got. "I'll show him i'm not weak, ill show him that 'innocent little Sora' isn't gonna allow this anymore."
It had been a few hours since Sora had stormed into his house in a fit of rage so Riku should be home by now. A quick check out the window confirmed that his parents were indeed gone for work already like the were most days at this time.
Sora finished the last bites of his pizza and dusted of his hands. Then he gathered himself and marched to the door. Determined to find out why his best friend of ten years was doing this to him. To find out why he would cast their friendship aside like that. He was gonna get answers even if he had to beat them out of Riku.
This is my first attempt at writing something so if this sucks ass let me know. If not and you want me to continue the a little RR encouragement would be nice. However be forewarned that if you do encourage me to continue then put on your sour faces cause the next chapter will be lemon time.
