Summary: Sora is the kind of boy who loves sex and is not afraid to show it. Riku is the kind of boy that believes that kind of contact is unnecessary. Unfortunately for him, he walks by as Sora's giving a sexual favor to a pal and that's when his normal life goes down the drain.

Chapter One: who you are and who you're not

The middle of the autumn semester was always the most humdrum of times. Students had long since given up on those dreams of being the best students they could be after that first grueling week class began. Riku wasn't one of those students. He tended to excel at his classes, and sometimes he would wonder why he was gifted with a dull and average life while he attended a dull and average school. He wasn't challenged but then again, did he even want to be? He would contemplate the hand that he was dealt with upon the rooftop of the school; he would enjoy the solitude while he could watch everyone else meandering about downstairs in their groups.

Riku realized that he was quite pathetic by October as he ate his lunch on the rooftop, leaning over a barricade so that he could observe those beneath him. He wasn't lonely at all—or at least that what was he told himself—but he never made any attempts to converse with his fellow classmen. He wasn't overly fond of attachments and he planned to be alone and die alone for the rest of his life; that was just how it was going to be for him.

Unfortunately, later on that day just as the school campus was almost clear of the student body; Riku was on his way home and decided to take all the time in the world. He had stayed behind to talk with his teacher about finding extracurricular activities and becoming more active in his school community, and he answered that he would think about it and see what he could do. He didn't actually plan on it, but it was nice to give the teacher some sort of hope even though the boy knew he was a lost cause. But how does one tell their teacher such a thing? You don't, and that's how the boy left it.

Either way, as Riku collected his belongings slowly he could hear the creaking of chairs and desks from the other side of the hall. Pausing at the sudden noise that was too rhythmic and too muffled to be a coincidence, he stalled at his locker and looked around. Most of the classrooms at this time were clear of students and the only person who was travelling into them was the janitor. Not even the student clubs were active at this time unless they had a serious project and as Riku understood the only ones who did were on the floor above so that way they wouldn't have to deal with the staff's offices.

Accompanied by the creaks was a new sound; the sound of people and Riku's ears perked up as he tried to understand if they were speaking or something. It was odd for his interest to be peaked about a sudden noise, but he couldn't seem to find the reason not to be. He turned around and walked over to the classroom opposite his locker. At first glance there didn't seem to be any activity whatsoever and that was enough to satisfy his curiosity but as he continued to look inside he realized that there was more than meets the eye.

Staring through the glass window of the door, Riku's eyes widened as he saw two people entwined on one of the classroom desks. One was laid out on their stomach and gripping the edge of the desk with all their might, while the other was behind them moving into them at a quick pace. Riku's gaze was fixated on the one sprawled over the desk; realization hitting him as the two lovers were having sex and were most definitely of the same gender, decidedly male too. But the one who was getting pounded into had the expression of someone caught in perfect bliss as his mouth hung open and head thrown back.

He hadn't meant to become a voyeur and somehow be a part of watching two homos fucking on someone's desk with abandon, it just sort of…happened. Riku didn't want to be enthralled or feel any burgeoning interest as he watched the two of them go at it. However, he did end up watching them until they were both spent and sprawled together in a heap. Riku still didn't move as the two of them whispered to one another and the boy whose legs were spread wide open rolled his eyes and pushed the other one way. Riku still stayed there as he watched the boy reach back and take off the condom from the one who was been screwing him and throw it into the wastebasket with little effort.

Riku watched it go in and smack the side before falling uselessly into the heap of other trash. His gaze travelled from the wastebasket to the boy who threw the condom and now had the decency to pick up his trousers after Riku saw what he was packing between his legs. It wasn't until the boy felt that someone was watching him did Riku blush, turn away, and rapidly throw his books and belongings into his bag. The boy's blue eyes caught Riku's aquamarine ones and a sheepish smile crossed his features, but Riku wasn't going to think about what that could mean as he raced out of the school with his belongings, seemingly forgetting to close his locker.

Walking as fast as his legs would take him, Riku tried to think about anything else other than what he had just witnessed. He knew that he had been caught in the act of watching them in the throes of passion, and he felt stupid for even watching that kind of scene. It wasn't as if Riku had any particular interest in sex with any gender at all. So then why did it matter that he had found a classmate fucking someone in a classroom? Shaking his head and sighing, Riku somehow found himself at the train station. He didn't know how he had gotten there; he barely even remembered how he walked out of the school without bumping into someone. All he knew was that he had to get home and cleanse himself thoroughly.

He was able to make it home quick and efficiently for once, the train magically appeared just as Riku made it to the platform and he was able to take a seat until his stop. Taking out his music player, he shut out the world by listening to his favorite songs and willing himself to lose himself and stop thinking about that damned kid and his expressions. It was difficult because as he closed his eyes, the same scene would replay in his mind, and every song that related to sex had to be skipped without hesitation. Why was this affecting him so much? Riku hadn't the slightest idea, and if only his damned heart would stop beating fast he could relax.

Upon arrival into his home, his older sister was talking on the phone to her newest boyfriend of the month and merely waved to her brother. His parents wouldn't be home for several more hours and as he passed by the living room he waved back at his sister. They wouldn't have a conversation until later when she burst into his room to complain about how much this boy was in love with her and how it was all too soon and what should she do about it all. As if Riku gave two shits about her love life when he didn't have his own, and in fact he planned on keeping it that way.

Muttering to himself about how his life should consistently stay dull and average and uninteresting while the scene from school played out in his mind, Riku ran the small staircase to the second floor and up to his room. Living in a modest house had its perks, and one of them was his room being on the second floor and could lock from the inside. Drowning out his sister Sae's phone conversation, Riku locked the door and threw his stuff onto his carpeted floor. He took out his homework, hoping that solving equations or reading through chapters would be enough to move his thoughts elsewhere and out of the place wherever the boys had put it in.

It wasn't until hours later when his parents came home, dinner was prepared, and his sister managed to unlock the door with her bobby pin did he finally stop the disturbing thoughts in his head and was able to smile and act like everything was alright. The rest of the night went off without a hitch and everything seemed to be normal and average, except that Riku knew for a fact that tomorrow was going to be another odd day. When it came time for him to sleep, he laid in bed, he muttered to himself that he only lived a simple, boring, uninteresting lifestyle and he was absolutely normal. Nothing else was going to change that.

That was until the following day of course.

Riku assumed he was fine and everything until he was greeted in the afternoon on the rooftop—his safe haven. He had just taken a bite out of his sandwich and was observing the general populace like always when the door to his sacred spot opened and the first thing he saw was a familiar patch of spiky brown hair. It was the same set of gravity defying hair that belonged to the boy sprawled out on the desk the previous day, and Riku knew his name: Sora, because they were in the same damn class.

Swallowing the lump of food in his mouth, Riku narrowed his eyes as the boy fully came through the door and bounced over to him. Yes, he didn't walk nor did he strut, he practically bounced with enough energy to rival the sun. It made Riku uncomfortable and so he could only stare in disbelief as this kid just moseyed on to him and stood by him at the barricade.

"You're not gonna jump are you?" Sora said, pouting at him.

Riku stared at him, eyes still narrowed while his feet were planted firmly in between some of the metal bars of the barricade. "No," was his curt reply.

For some reason, that made the brunette smile wide as if Riku had told him the best thing in the world. It continued to make him highly uncomfortable but he wasn't just about to leave his safe haven because Sora wanted to drop by for a visit. Was he going to ask him about what transpired yesterday? Was he going to ask him what he thought or perhaps threaten him not to tell anyone? Not that Riku had anyone to tell or even cared to tell the sordid affairs of the student body, but just what was going on here?

Sora didn't behave as if he felt any guilt or embarrassment about what happened yesterday. In fact, he acted as if everything was just fine and he wasn't caught with his pants down and his legs spread wide—literally speaking. The brunette reached into his pocket and pulled out two cherry candies and offered one to Riku who only shook his head and continued to wait for him to go batshit on him. It didn't happen as they stood there by the barricades and that frustrated the silver haired boy to no end.

"Did you know that the bat is the only mammal that can fly? Flying squirrels don't actually fly they just glide. Weird, huh?" Sora smiled and popped the candy in his mouth to suck on it for a prolonged period of time while Riku's patience wore thin. He parted his lips to give out another random fact just to keep the flow going when Riku interrupted him.

"What are you here for?" Sora blinked as Riku stared intently at him, clearly perturbed by his sudden presence and that made the brunette shuffle a bit and looked away.

"Um…"

"You know that I saw you yesterday. If that's what you're here for, I really don't care." Sora didn't answer him, just looked down at the people passing by downstairs who were fraternizing with their friends. Sora could be down there talking to his own group of pals but once he realized that the silver haired kid was indeed in his class, he wasted no time in running after him to his designated lunch spot.

"I know you did." He folded his arms on the barricade's top and laid his head on them. "I saw you and you saw me, isn't that right Riku?" He sighed as if he carried the world's burden on his shoulders and closed his eyes. "Sex…it's a nice thing, a convenient thing, but people always start to want more after that and its normal. To want to have something more than that is okay but not everyone can have that, right?" Sora opened one of his eyes to look at Riku. He laughed at the other boy's expression of bewilderment and confusion at his words and it made him think of something…cute.

It was Riku's turn to sigh, running a hand over his long silver locks completely confused by Sora's nonsensical babble. He tried to understand him—wait no, he didn't want to understand him but this kid was interesting—and he was also quite frustrating. To go on about sex, desire, hinting at relationships and normality left Riku for a loop. He wasn't one to have ties to people unless they were directly related by blood and that was how he kept it. That was his average, his life, and his normal. And suddenly the nympho named Sora took one look at him after post-orgasmic bliss and Riku was…lost.

"So having sex with guys, is your normal?" He hadn't meant to blurt it out but somehow the word vomit magically spilled and he couldn't take it back.

Sora laughed, he really laughed and stood up again. Clinging onto the barricade, he put his feet in between the metal bars just like Riku did and laughed to his heart's content. Most people, like Riku for instance, would have thought him crazy but he was only doing something that made him feel wild and free. After he had his fill of laughter, he looked directly at the other boy before stepping down from the barricade and walking over to the door.

"Having sex is normal for me. I like the feeling of someone's body pressing into mine and reaching a state of happiness before I have to go on with the rest of my day. Doesn't matter when, and I would think I would like that it matters who, but it just feels…really good. I'm guessing that is something abnormal to you, Riku?" He practically purred his name before continuing on, grasping the handle of the door and opening it again. "Normal is relative, and I swear if you combine that word with straight then you obviously don't know what it means. Everyone's normal and abnormal, but the more normal you are…the more abnormal you will become. Don't try so hard."

With that monologue, Sora began to descend down the stairs after escaping through the door. Riku had unintentionally turned around during Sora's speech in order to watch him go. His words left an imprint in his mind and after thinking of them for just a few moments, he realized that he was quite possibly insulted by someone who looked like they were still thirteen years of age! Struck by that idea, Riku picked up his lunch and placed in the trash before descending the stairs himself to find Sora. He didn't have to search for long when he hit the second landing; the boy was leaning against the banister and smiling mischievously at him.

Riku's lips pressed into a thin line as he came to a halt right in front of Sora. "Are you gay?"

Sora chuckled, shrugging and putting his hands into his pockets. "Maybe. Who knows?" Riku just narrowed his eyes. "People often don't know everything about themselves." He leaned in close, sniffing the air around Riku who should have moved back but didn't due to unexplainable reasons. "Do you know everything about yourself? I think not. People have this uncanny ability to know others better than they know themselves. Maybe I am gay, maybe I'm not. There are a few things I know for certain about myself and one of them is that I had sex with a boy in a classroom and you, Riku, were there to watch. Does your question still matter?"

Pushing him away, Riku began his descent again just as the bell signaled that their lunch time was up. As he made his way into the classroom, he could hear Sora laughing and speaking with others in the hallway and still trailing after him. Riku's head hung low as he tried to immerse himself in his class work and tried not to look toward the front of the room where Sora was located. That brunette was confusing, frustrating, annoying, and…interesting. He somehow wormed his way into Riku's thoughts without even the slightest clue…or perhaps he did it on purpose.

He made the mistake of looking up once, just as Sora turned his head to look back at him. The brunette smiled widely and gave him a thumb up before the teacher smacked him on the head with his book and urged him to pay attention. Riku rolled his eyes and shook his head, unaware that Sora was the reason that his life was going to take such a sudden and drastic turn.
