DISCLAIMER: Throughout the games, did Riku jump Sora at all? No? Well then OBVIOUSLY I do not own it.
A/N: Dude, what the hell is Sora's last name again? T.T Oh well. I put whatever fit into their title in the game. Sorry. Hah.
And since I'm a FREAKIN IDIOT, I need help on something. How the crap do you accent Namine's name? ARGH! Please help me! T.T
Chapter One
Light filtered in brightly through the window as the boy laying in his bed let out a groan. He shifted to the right, rolled once, and then basically fell flat on his ass. A burst of laughter came in from the doorway as Sora Hikari groaned.
"Sora, you lazy bum, get up!" a high-pitched voice squealed. Delicate fingers wrapped around Sora's arm as the girl tugged, huffing. After all, Kairi Hoshi wasn't exactly the strongest person in the world. "Gah, Sora! You weigh a ton!" she whined, tugging at him again. Sora gave an incoherent mumble as he yawned loudly.
"Kairi?" he mumbled sleepily, seeing the girl with the long auburn hair in front of him.
"So-ra, get up!" she yelled, punching him on the arm. Okay, he took it back--Kairi was pretty strong when it came to punching.
"Whyyyyy?" he groaned, sitting up sleepily as he rubbed at his eyes.
"Because," Kairi said in a matter-of-fact voice, "today is our first day at Kingdom Hearts. We have to go to school!"
Sora took a minute as the words registered in his mind. School...first day...Heart?
"OH! TODAY'S OUR FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL!"
"That's what I just said, you lazy bum," Kairi sighed, giving a yawn herself. "And you might as well take your time," she mumbled to Sora, who was now hurriedly tugging on his jeans and brushing his teeth at the same time. "We're already a half-hour late."
He didn't seem to hear her. Sora quickly pulled on his glasses and tugged on his shirt.
"Ready," he said, and Kairi led the way out of his room.
"You know, Sora," Kairi began as she watched him scarf down a piece of toast. Kairi unlocked the doors to her car as she sat in the driver's seat.
"Kairi!" Sora whined, "I wanna drive!" The girl let out a snort.
"No way." The last time Sora had sat in the driver's seat was a frightful memory that took weeks of therapy to get rid of. "Honestly, late on our first day of the new school." Sora pouted.
"It sucks to have transferred from Destiny High." Kairi shot a glance at Sora, who was looking out the window. His brilliant sapphire eyes were dim. "I miss hanging out with Demyx," he murmured, frowning.
Kairi shrugged. "Demyx said that he would come visit us sometime-! WATCH IT, ASSHOLE!" Kairi declared as Sora felt himself being jerked forward. Damn inertia. Damn intertia to hell.
"-and he said that he'll miss you, too," Kairi continued, as if she hadn't just flipped a random person off. Sora nodded with a sigh, and pulled off his glasses, rubbing the bridge of his nose before slipping them back on. Kairi flashed Sora a look.
"You know, Sora, you should really get your hair cut," Kairi said. Since they were currently at a red-light, she reached out and pulled at Sora's long chocolate locks. They stuck out everywhere, but drooped a bit. "And you would be a lot cuter without glasses."
Sora remained silent.
"Ah, it looks like some of our students have decided to join us," the teacher said. His blue eyes were amused. Sora blinked at him; who knew that the teacher was so...
Sora's sapphire eyes--which were hidden beneath wire-framed glasses--scanned the room, amazed to see almost all girls.
Oookay, so it wasn't just he who noticed that the teacher, Cloud, was extremely...nice-looking.
"Er...yeah...sorry we're late," Kairi breathed, a flush painted delicately on her cheeks. Sora mentally sobbed. He would be dealing with 'ohmehgee, that blond teacher is soooo hot!' for the rest of the day. The horror.
"Alright, Kairi Hoshi, was it? You can take a seat next to..." Cloud's eyes scanned the room. "Namine, raise your hand, please." A girl in a delicate white dress looked up from what seemed like a sketchbook and raised her hand with a smile. Kairi obediently headed towards the empty seat beside her, but not before flashing Cloud an 'ohmehgee you're so hot and I'm going to be whining about it to my poor friend for forever!' kind of look.
"And..." Cloud's blue eyes flitted back to the attendance list as he smirked with amusement. "Sora Hikari, was it? You can sit nex to..." Sora followed the teacher's gaze to a boy. Okay, correction, not just a normal boy, but possibly the most gorgeous boy that Sora had ever seen. Narrow, aquamarine eyes--which leaned towards the green side--were staring out the window intently. Long, silvery hair fell to his shoulders, and a thoughtful frown was placed upon those beautiful lips. "Riku. Raise your hand." The boy's attention snapped towards Cloud, and obediently he raised his hand as Sora walked slowly towards him.
Cloud smiled. All the girls sighed. "Now, back to the lesson."
While Mr. Strife spoke, Sora turned towards Riku with a friendly grin. The older teen paused for a moment, seeing genuine sincerity in the smile. Still...he has got to be the dorkiest kid I've ever seen, Riku thought with a raised eyebrow. Maybe underneath those wire-framed glasses and that jungle of brown locks there probably was a person, but...
Riku merely turned back to looking out the window.
The bell for lunch rang as Sora snapped up from his chair. "I'mawakeIswear!" The class was empty, save for the teacher, Mr. Leonhart, who was actually standing front of Sora at the moment, stormy grey eyes amused. Leon Leonhart was another really...nice-looking...person in this school. Hell, it just seemed to be filled with a bunch of hot guys, ripe for the oggling.
...Not that Sora was gay or anything!
...He was just bi.
"I'm glad you find my class so interesting," Leon chuckled, "but it's your lunch period and I'm sure you don't want to miss it, Sora."
Sora gulped. The man made leather look good; real good. He was wearing black leather pants and a regular white shirt covered by a black leather jacket. "Sorry, Mr. Leonhart." Leon gave a slight smile, and nodded as Sora hurriedly packed all of his things and dashed off.
A moment later after Sora had rushed off, a knock resounded on the classroom door. Leon turned around slowly, seeing a girl with ebony hair and dark onyx eyes grinning cheerfully back at him. "Hey, Mr. Leonhart," the girl said in a teasing manner, as Leon shook his head, taking a step towards her as the girl pranced over.
"Better than you calling me Squall," Leon said as she pouted. Her olive-colored boots tapped on the ground impatiently. She moved her arm, showing the small red ribbon tied around it, and the black glove that was on her left hand.
"Find then, Squallie-poo," she said with a grin. "Ready to go?"
"Yuffie," he said with an exasperated sigh, "I have to teach a class after this. And I know how long lunch usually lasts for us." (NOT in that way, pervs!)
"You're so boring!" she pouted again, reaching up with her hands as her arms wrapped around Leon's shoulders. "Mneehhhh!"
He chuckled, pulled back, and bent down to give the girl a kiss.
"...so many freakin hot guys in this school, so, I mean, I'm kinda thinking right now that this school is awesome. What do you think, Sora?"
"Huh?" Sora's attention snapped back to Kairi, who was impatiently tapping her foot.
"So-ra!" Kairi pouted. "Weren't you listening to anything I said?"
"...Er...define 'listening', Kairi," Sora murmured sheepishly.
"Seriously, what's up with you?" Kairi asked as the lunch lady scooped lasagna onto Kairi's plate. The lasagna hit it hard, sending splatters of sauce onto Kairi's jacket as she let out a groan. "What's your problem?"
The lunch lady, whose nametag read 'Larxene', glared at Kairi. "You, ya little--..." The rest of the lunch lady's sentence became incoherent as Kairi turned with a frown to Sora. A brief, "...stab all these kids one day..." made contact with Sora's ears.
"Could you carry my stuff? I'll be right back," Kairi said, and took off without another word. Gee, Kai, thaaaanks.
Sora gulped. Balace was definitely not his forte. Picking up his tray (which was heavier) with his left hand and using his weaker hand to hold Kairi's, Sora began his troubled journey to the land of the lunch tables. The plates swished back and forth precariously on the plastic blue tray, and several times Sora had to lean forward in order for the lasagna to slide backwards. For some reason, it didn't look as easy as it was done.
"CRAP!" Sora exclaimed as he slipped on a puddle--only just seeing the yellow sign that said 'caution: slippery'--he began his gravity-defying fall backwards and nearly spilled both of the lunches if it wasn't for two pairs of hands that caught him. Sora winced, waiting for the impact.
"Kid, open your eyes. You're not gonna fall," a voice said. It was smooth, confident, and had some kind of hidden fire to it. Sora cracked a sapphire, mirror-the-sky eye open to see a pair of flamboyant green eyes and a pair of cerulean, mirror-the-ocean eyes staring back at him.
"Are you okay?" Sora turned towards the owner of the cerulean, mirror-the-ocean eyes. Wow. The boy, whoever he was, had messy blond hair that stuck out in multiple directions that rivaled Sora's. A concerned look was in his pretty eyes.
"I-I'm fine," Sora stuttered.
"Haha, we just saved your life," said the smooth, confident voice. Sora turned towards that voice, seeing the flamboyant green eyes glimmering with amusement. His blue eyes widened. Red hair, which looked like liquid fire, spiked out from the person's head, and under those bright green eyes were tattooed, black-diamond-like tears. "The name is Axel Kogasu. Got it memorized?"
Sora nodded numbly. He turned towards the blonde boy, who was now righting the plates and setting them down on the table in front of them. "Roxas. Roxas Hakumei," he introduced, smiling. Sora flashed a grin back.
"Sora Hikari. Thanks for helping me with the lunch trays!" he said brightly, grinning at them. Axel took the moment to give a grin at Roxas. It was as if the sun itself was giving the two a lopsided grin.
"Sora!" Said teen turned around, seeing Kairi rushing back from the bathroom.
"I am SO sorry, but man, that spaghetti sauce took forever to get out, and--Oh. Hi." A blush slowly rose to Kairi's cheeks.
Again, damn this school was filled with a lot of hot guys!
"I-I'm Kairi Hoshi," she introduced, as the other two smirked.
"I'm Roxas Hakumei."
"Axel Kogasu, the man that just saved your friend's ass, here," Axel said in that smooth, confident tone. Sora decided he liked it. "Got it memorized?"
Kairi blinked. "Er...thanks. Sora's really clumsy," she laughed, and this time it was Sora who had a healthy blush on his cheeks.
"Come sit with us," Roxas offered, tugging on Sora's arm as Axel picked up the two trays. As Sora protested and began to take them from him, Axel grinned.
"Ah-ah-aaahhh," teased the older boy, "don't want you falling again, now do we, Sora-chan."
Again with the blush. Roxas rolled his eyes. "Stop teasing him, Axel."
"Awww, what, Rox, jealous?" Sora smiled. The redhead made it his job to tease. The blond rolled his eyes, but a faint blush made its way to his cheeks.
As they neared a table, Sora could see three more people: a girl with short, brown hair and large emerald eyes, a boy with sandy blond hair and cheerful blue eyes, and another, slightly-older boy with reddish hair and brown (is it brown?) eyes.
"Hey guys," Axel said, setting the trays down as he scooted in next to the girl.
"Axel!" the girl laughed, poking him. "You'll never believe what Tidus just--ehh? Who are you?" Sora and Kairi blinked.
"Er, I'm Sora Hikari," he offered.
"Kairi Hoshi," Kairi introduced. The girl giggled, while both boys just rolled their eyes. Roxas plopped onto the seat next to Axel as he began to speak.
"Selphie," the girl offered with a grin, taking Sora's hand in a strong grip as she shook it enthusiastically. Sora smiled back, ignoring the feeling of his arm basically getting ripped out of its socket.
"Tidus," the boy with sandy hair introduced, smiling as his gaze flickered towards Selphie. Sora inwardly grinned. He could see signs of 'like' when he saw it.
"Wakka, yeah?" the reddish-haired teen said, smiling.
"Nice to meet all of you!" Kairi exclaimed, being the more sociable type. Sora just sat next to Roxas, smiling and nodding and laughing.
However, a brief flash of silver appeared in the corner of his eyes as Sora turned slightly, seeing the silver-haired god from earlier. Apparently, Selphie caught him staring. The girl pushed Axel and Roxas next to Tidus (to Tidus's disappointment), and sat at the new space next to Sora. She playfully nudged him in the ribs.
"Ow!" he winced, rubbing his ribs. "Your elbows are sharp..."
Selphie giggled. "Sorry!" she apologized. Then, she changed the subject. "So you're looking at him, huh?" Selphie knew she was right, because at that moment, a slight flush rose to Sora's cheeks. Everyone paused momentarily. He was adorable when he blushed.
"Er...what are you talking about?" Sora asked, trying in vain to keep his voice steady and eyes off the silver-haired god.
"What am I talking about?" Selphie repeated. Her grin widened into a mischevious one. "I'm talking about--HEY! RIKU! WAVE REAL QUICK, WILL YA?" Sora's eyes widened as he blushed a deeper crimson. The silver-haired teen blinked in confusion, and complied by waving two fingers. Sora blinked, hearing sighs of wonder and admiration echoing through the cafeteria. Damn. So Riku had his own fangroup as well...
Sora sighed. "He's Riku Akegata, as you know," Selphie said with amusement. "Pretty, ain't he?"
Sora blinked. "Although," Selphie continued, "I think you would be a lot cuter if you cut your hair..." She studied him absentmindedly with emerald green eyes. "...and got contacts. But don't get different color contacts," she warned. "My cousin once got color contacts, and they must've not agreed with her eye color or something, because her eyes turned red, man, and not the pretty kind of red, either, it was like the freakish bloodshot red, and..."
Sora tried in vain to listen, but found that his attention kept wandering back to Riku Akegata. He didn't think he ever saw anyone that...
...nice-looking...
He sent another glance in Riku's direction, only to find that his eyes had locked with the silver-haired teen's aquamarine ones. Quickly, Sora turned away, embarassed.
"...take her to the happy house, so, I mean, now you know why you shouldn't get colored contacts."
Sapphire. The deep, sapphire, mirror-the-sky kind of blue. Riku Akegata blinked. He didn't think anyone, not even a model or superstar, or someone with a lot of money and a lot of freetime, had those kind of eyes. Those kind of eyes that made you just freeze on eye contact, and make you tremble slightly because they showed you an endless world, an endless expanse of sky, an endless field of sapphire-tainted flowers. The boy had interesting eyes indeed.
Unknown to Sora, those eyes had captured Riku's attention, and now he was studying the boy carefully. Sure, he had seen the boy earlier during Cloud's teaching period, but Riku had merely spared him a brief glance and ignored the rest. Cinnamon-chocolate hair stuck out in multiple directions, and drooped slightly with the fact that his hair was becoming longer. Black, wire-framed glasses covered the boy's amazing eyes. Riku followed the boy's arms, seeing lean muscle showing through. The kind of muscle that was noticeable, but not noticeable to the point of being disgusting, Riku mused. The boy was petite. Small. Fragile-like. Almost like a girl, in fact.
A smirk made it's way to Riku's lips.
A new toy.

T..T My first time writing a Rikora story! Hehe. Riku may seem a little...sadistic...I guess, but...meh. This is a spurr-of-the-moment kind of thing, so...please don't expect too much updating until I finish writing The Adventures of Insanity...Sorry to those of you who might actually want me to update this! T..T
