OKEY!! So time for some new stuff, yeah?
I've wanted to write a story for this couple before but I couldn't choose what it should be about….
So here's my first RiSo! Inspired, more or less, by how I met my girlfriend (LOL cheesy no?). ONE YEAR AND FIVE MONTHS STRONG!!!!
Of course I've changed things to make the story better, but most of what's here is actual fact (I think).
Dedicated to Joh
Please review! Thanx!
FOR YOUR HEART ONLY
'Just kill me.' Riku thought to himself as he slowly hated the idea of travelling more and more. Trees whipped past the car as they drove along the highway. The spring sun shone brightly making everything seem lighter and happier. Unfortunately, Riku had to spend it at a trip meeting for his family's travelling that summer.
"Don't worry, Riku! I know you'll enjoy it!" his mother said. "Yeah, I highly doubt that." the boy said softly under his breath. This trip wasn't Riku's ideal way to spend the summer.
The family's car pulled up in front of a small church. To Riku's surprise, the parking lot wasn't very full. 'Maybe this will be a small trip….' The boy thought eagerly. Large crowds weren't his forte either.
Slowly, the boy got out of the car, regretting even being there. He wore a sweatshirt and tee-shirt. It was nothing special for the event at hand. It wasn't like he actually cared about this so why get all dressed up?
His parents had already started going off towards the church. As they neared the small building, Riku noticed a few boys playing basketball on a small hoop. "You should go join them, honey." The indifferent boy's mother encouraged. But he still had no interest in meeting people, so he continued past the boys without a word of reply to his mother.
The church was surprisingly large compared to what it looked like on the outside. A woman standing at the entrance greeted them kindly and handed Riku's parents a booklet about the trip.
The family was showed to a large room filled with other people going on the trip. Surprisingly, there were more people in the room than Riku had expected. There were mostly younger children, hiding behind their parents shyly.
Riku examined the older kids. They were either older or the same age as he was. The family took a set near a large window at the far side of the room near another small family with two kids, one young girl and one older boy.
The family was nice and Riku put on a happy face for them, but he really didn't even want to be there. As the meeting started, Riku turned around and noticed a small boy sitting behind him.
The boy had brown hair cut short to show his vibrant blue eyes and was dressed nicely with dress pants and a button up shirt. 'He's cute…' Riku thought to himself. He hadn't really cared about anyone else in the room until he saw the boy.
Riku quickly turned away when the boy looked towards him, blushing slightly. The meeting was long and boring, but Riku was occupied with the cute boy behind him.
He looked about Riku's age, maybe even younger. The silver haired boy couldn't understand what attraction had a hold of him, but it was something that refused to leave no matter how hard Riku tried.
As the meeting dragged on, the kids were moved into a small room to make journals to write in during the trip. Riku trailed along behind the group of children, hoping to separate himself from the others. Nothing ever changed. He was always the one being left out, so why should he even try to make new friends with these immature children?
Unfortunately it wasn't so easy with the cute boy being there. In the small room, there was a table covered in decorations for the journals. The younger children rushed towards the table excitedly, all shyness leaving them as they spoke to one another as if they had always been friends.
'Too bad it's not that easy when you get older…' Riku thought. He kept to himself as he found a seat as far as possible from the chaotic table.
As he examined the chaos that unraveled before him, he noticed the boy took a seat adjacent to him. Again, Riku couldn't take his eyes off the boy. His eyes trailed along his slender arms to his cute face again. The boy had no flaws, at least in Riku's perspective.
As much as Riku wanted to talk to the cute boy, words just wouldn't form. For whatever reason, Riku's mind refused to create words, phrases, sentences, anything to make conversation. The small boy glanced at Riku before quickly turning back to looking at his feet shyly.
Riku turned to notice that the older kids had gone outside to play basketball. 'Well it's better than staying here…' he thought disappointedly. He had hoped he could talk to the boy because, if anyone, he could be friend maybe.
The silver haired boy stood and left the room, taking notice to the small glance the other boy took. 'Well at least he seems a little interested.' Riku thought. But regardless, nothing was different between them and, disappointedly, Riku took his leave of the hectic room containing the excited children.
Outside, the sun had been blocked out by grey clouds. 'Ugh it's gonna rain.' Riku thought sadly as he looked up at the sky. But the older kids continued to play basketball on the small hoop. Even they had made friends in this short amount of time.
And so Riku was left with no one to be his friend. A small raindrop fell onto his pale skin alerting him to the oncoming storm. He felt indifferent to his isolation though. It was always this way. He would always be the one left out of the group and never the one to start one.
'So what's the point of making friends on this stupid trip?' he asked himself. He could care less about the others and what they thought of him.
Riku reentered the small church to find that the meeting had finally ended. The parents were talking amongst themselves as new friends.
Riku's parents were talking to the cute boy's mother, yet her son was not to be found. They were all smiling and laughing as Riku approached his parents.
"Hi! Nice to meet you. My name is Riku." He said in order to get on the mother's good side. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Your parents were just telling me about you." The woman said in reply.
"Hey can we leave now?" Riku whispered impatiently, hoping to end the conversation there and leave. "Oh yes! Of course!" his mother replied with sympathy for her son's boredom.
As his parents said their long, final goodbyes to the other travelers, Riku saw the cute boy again.
He didn't seem to notice yet, for he was staring outside through a window in the long hallway of the church. The cute boy casually leaned against the adjacent wall, keeping his hands shyly behind him, one foot up against the wall and one he leaned on.
Riku did nothing but stare at him. He couldn't take his eyes off the boy until the other boy finally noticed he wasn't the only one in the hallway.
Quickly averting his gaze elsewhere, Riku blushed clearly, turning a bright shade of red. The other boy swiftly darted away into a nearby room. 'Am I scary or something?' Riku asked himself. He never thought of himself as anything but indifferent.
Riku left the hallway quickly, not noticing the small eyes peeking out of a room to watch him go.
Stepping outside, Riku, still lightly blushing, found that it was drizzling and the clouds had gotten darker. He hurried to the car with his family, taking notice of the other kids still playing basketball despite the rain.
Riku reentered his car, wiping off the water that had collected on his pale white skin. His father started the car and the cold car began to heat itself.
"So, Riku. Did you meet anyone new?" his mother asked hopefully. She was always trying to socialize her son despite her futile attempts. Riku averted his gaze to outside as the family's car pulled out of the church parking lot.
"Yeah I did. Just one though." Riku replied simply as he slowly began to like the idea of going on the trip.
