AN: I hate myself for not updating my stories, but I really love this one. This story is kind of an AU, but it WILL have the keyblade in it. This story was based off the song "Valentine's Day" by Linkin Park. Most of the story will be going with the song, but if there are any other songs to it, they will all be Linkin Park. I adore writing in Riku's POV! But Sora will have his POV in here sometimes.

Disclamer: Me no own the pwittyful Sora-bear and Riku-bear. Square Enix does. If I owned Square Enix, Aerith and Tifa would look exactly like me! Then Cloud could love ME!

I think Sora and I met by accident. Coincidence.

Or was it inevitable? Mom always told me, before she died, that everything in the world was inevitable. So, maybe meeting Sora was my destiny. I never believed what Mom said... until I met Sora.

We met at a grocery store, of all places. Really, it wasn't that big a deal. I was 7 and Sora was 5. My Mom and his mom were standing in line at the checkout, and they made small talk. Soon numbers were exchanged between them. Then Sora and I were introduced. Sora and I were both standing behind our respective mothers as the conversation took place. I was surprised when Mom pulled me around to face them. It seemed Sora was as well.

The first thing I saw were Sora's eyes. They were the clearest blue I had ever seen. They looked like the sky at noon, with no clouds to block its view. His hair was a deep chocolate brown, very spiky (which would later be highlighted). He had a feminine quality to him, but very cheeky. He blushed a very rosy pink as he saw me. I could only wonder why. Maybe I was blushing, too.

"This is my son, Sora." his mom said. She ruffled his hair.

"My son, Riku." My Mom said. She pushed me forward. "Say hi, Riku."

I started fiddling with my hands. We were out in the parking lot by that time. The sun beat down against my skin, making my black nail polish shine. I managed to mutter a "Hi," but it came out kind of raspy. Sora giggled, at my choice of words, I suppose. I smiled.

Sora held out his hand in a friendly gesture. He had on the brightest grin that would nickname him "Smiles" one day, and said, "It's really great to meet you Riku!" I shook his hand out of proper manners, but I think another part of me just wanted to feel his touch, which felt amazing. Like nothing I've ever felt before.

"It's great to meet you too, Sora."

I would remember that day for the rest of my life...

I guess you could say that was the beginning of our relationship. A few days passed and I really got to know him more. He told me about his family, what he liked to do, where he went to school. The thing that really caught my interest was his birthday. His last name just so happened to be Valentine. His birthday also just so happened to be on Valentine's Day. His parent's anniversary was on that day, too. I really found it strange but he explained to me that all of it was planned out by his mother when his parent's got married.

Slowly, years past by. When it was the summer we went down to a lake that Sora's cousin, Vincent, owned. Some of those trips were the funnest of my life. We went through middle school together, and a year of high school. During that time period, Sora and I fell in love. I'll explain more about that later though.

I guess all our laughter and happiness led up to this day. Then all of the warmth and comfort I feel when I'm with Sora with stay with me for ever after this day...

At least... I hope so...

Whadya think?!

Did anyone catch the Tsubasa Chronicle saying at the top? It's the most famous quote in Tsubasa. If anyone can get it right I'll make you some Mac and Cheez.

Read and Review! Please and thank you!

Side note: Riku is goth/emo-ish in this fic. Hence the black nail polish. Started way before he was seven though.
