Stormy night.
It was another stormy night, Sora bit his lip as a storm crashed outside. He hated them, but right now it reflected how his heart felt. Lately it had been one thing after another, that had gone wrong. No matter what he did, he just could not make it right. Things were wearing him down, like water eating away a rock.
"Riku... why cant I be like you.?" He cried. " No matter what I do."
Life was not fair, he had to be born the sick kid, the klutz, the one who was a scatterbrain. Most made fun of him, and even bullied him relentlessly. No matter how much his parents assured him, deep down he did not believe them. How could he ever be something other than what he was. Right now he was heavily bandaged, from the latest beating. Well he had done his, best to hide it form his parents.
A lightning bolt struck nearby, sending electricity crackling, making his hair stand on end. Then thunder sounded sending him, under his bed to hide. He was safe there in the dark, the dark where he seemingly belonged. Sora's eyes were brimming with tears, two sky blue pools filled with rain.
"C...come...on you...b ...big baby." He chided himself. "I...it is only...a...s...s...storm."
Riku would just have laughed at him, for acting in such a childish manner. Shaking his head, Sora pulled his blankets around him, and clung to a well worn moogle plush. Perhaps he should call his friend, though it would be better not to disturb him at this hour. Unexpectedly there was a tapping on his window, causing him to jump. Hitting his head he cried harder, and made his way to the window. Outside Riku was standing soaking wet, but not glaring at him.
"H...hi...R..Riku." He stammered, opening the window.
"I could tell you were scared." He jabbed, smiling at the cowering boy.
"I...I ...don't like storms." Sora muttered.
Riku made his way to the bathroom, to dry off for a bit. Upon returning he found Sora was under the bed again. Crouching down he grabbed him by the ankle, dragging him out. Doing so was easy, as Sora was a bit of a light weight. His friend was shaking like a leaf in the wind.
"It is only a storm." He chided. "Nothing to fear."
"I ...I...don't L...like them. " Sora said trying to break free.
"Hey easy there." Riku ordered him, guiding his frightened friend back to bed.
Once there Riku forced him to lay down, then fetched the moogle plush. Handing it over to him, Riku then draped a few blankets over him.
"There all better now?" Riku smirked. "Want a bedtime story?"
"I am...n...not a baby." Sora shot back, puffing his cheeks.
Riku just leaned in and kissed him one on the forehead, causing Sora to blush. Before Sora could react Riku lay down next to him, draping an arm over him.
"I am not gonna leave you, because of a storm." Riku purred "You may be a drok but you are my best friend."
"T...thanks..." Sora said with a yawn.
Another roll of thunder boomed, making him sake one. Riku just held him tightly, nestling his head in Sora's hair. They lay that way, till both of them fell asleep.
The end.
