On The Brink

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts. Disney and Squaresoft do. (Damn disclaimer reminding me every time. 3 )
Pairing: Tidus/Sora, and some others later on.
Comments: Oh yeah! My best friend wanted me to write a Kingdom Hearts fanfic for her.
She couldn't think of a pairing so we picked our favorite characters and paired them together. Yay! Okay they are in high school, and the setting switches from Destiny Island and Twilight Town.

It was nearing evening on Destiny Island, as Sora was kicking his legs back and forth on the edge of the dock. He was staring at the Paopu tree, the sun setting leaving beautiful rays of light shining through and making the fruit have a golden glow around it. Sora sat alone, content at the soothing sounds of the waves washing on the shore and the sounds of gulls cawing, going home for the night.
Sora didn't want to go home. It felt so good, the ocean breeze, the warm sun, and that shiny thing on the beach. This caught his attention. He stood up brushing off his dark blue jeans, the right side ripped, exposing his knee. Just as he was about to turn around and walk down the dock someone grabbed a fistful of his plain grey tee shoving him towards the water below.
"GYAAAAAAA!" Sora yelped out as he felt himself falling forward. He squinted his eyes ready to hit the water, but he was jerked back up, into a standing position, which didn't last long. His legs were shaking, making him drop onto all fours.
Sora was angry and freaked out. But, mostly angry and shot up the dirtiest look he could make at…
"TIDUS!" Sora's jaw slacked; narrowed eyes now gave a look of shock and confusion.
The older boy wrapped his arms around his stomach as he let out several chuckles, then holding out a hand for Sora to grab as he helped him up once more. Tidus stood there smiling down at Sora even though he was glaring right back at him.
"That wasn't funny Tidus. I could've fallen."
"But you didn't because my heroicness of justice saved you from falling to your impending doom."
"Some how I highly doubt that…" Sora bluntly stated, snatching his head away from the blond. He made his way past Tidus walking down the dock, leaving him behind.
Tidus shouted after Sora. "Where are you going?"
"Down by the Shore. I saw something over there." He responded back. He heard the other teen running down behind him, thinking he'd just follow. But instead Tidus swiftly picked up Sora bridal style and carried him to the beach.
"Tidus! What on Earth do you think you are doing?" Sora whispered loudly as if there were people watching.
"I'm carrying you. I wouldn't want you to fall for real this time and almost crack your pretty head open." He smirked at the blushing boy in his arms.
"But it's embarrassing. And if I recall you are the one that shoved me…"
"Ah details, details. Can't I just be worried for my precious Sora?" He laughed as Sora huffed, and demanded to be set down. Tidus reluctantly put him down as he searched around the shore looking for the shiny object from earlier.
Tidus raised a brow. "What are you snooping around for?" Questioning the brown haired boy.
"Aha!" Sora exclaimed after digging around the dirt, rushing to the water to rinse whatever he found off. "This!"
Tidus leaned back as Sora shoved the thing in front of his face, snatching it out of his hand. "A necklace?" He dangled it between them both.
"Well yeah! But look it has a key on it."
There was indeed a key hanging on the bottom of the silver chain. Nothing that looked like the modern house key, but an old looking one, something that looked like it would fit into a small chest. It was silver much like the chain that held it and it had unique and unusual designs all around it.
"Hopefully it wasn't important to somebody. Because it looks like it's yours now." Tidus said putting the necklace around the smaller boy's neck. His hands brushed across Sora's cheek, causing a tremendous heat to rise in his face. Sora was beat red, but looked down quickly before running towards his house on the other side of the island.
"Uh…sorry Tidus! It's getting late. I'll see you at school tomorrow." Sora ran until he was a good long distance from the other boy. He leaned against the wall of rocks behind him. His breathing was heavy and he was still red in the face. Sora began rubbing his cheek that Tidus, only for a brief second, had touched. In the other hand he held the key around his neck close to his heart. "Maybe this is a lucky key…" He smiled releasing it and continued running back home.

Tidus was still alone on the shore where Sora had left him only minutes ago. Both of his hands were in fists, as he was shaking with anger. He took a few steps over to the water and kicked it as hard as he could. "GOD DAMMIT!" He shouted, water soaked his shoes and pant legs. Some splashed on his shirt and into his hair. He continued to curse himself mentally.
"Why did I do that? I must have bothered him. He must think I'm disgusting now." Tidus ran his fingers through his face and sighed. "We'll just have to wait and see…" He began walking to his home on Destiny Island. Both of his parents were out of town for work like always. He liked it that way, not being around them.

Night had fallen finally. Both boys were attempting sleep in their own beds. One flustered from the events that happened that evening, and the other worried.
Sora had known Tidus for a while now. In fact, 5 years since middle school. Sora had realized that he liked Tidus a few years back. But he always thought Tidus never liked him that way. He always believed that the blond was just teasing when he said all those things, and he never took him seriously. Little did he know Tidus had always felt the same. That he liked Sora almost instantly when they first met.
And know here they both are, in high school, not knowing how one another feels. Both just playing along as if nothing was going on, but every night when they go to bed, they always finish off their day thinking about the other.
