Setting: An Island close to Destiny Islands where they live. (Moon Shine Island)
CHAPTER ONE: First Glance, Last Chance
Late again, late again! On no, I'm going to be so late!
Sora ran through the busy streets of his home island, Moon Shine Island. Sora was past his suburban neighbourhood and school. He was in the centre city of Moon Shine Island, the busiest city there. If you are looking for a job, Centre City was the best place for it.
Sora dodged the traffic and wove in and out of the crowds, making his way to Café La Lune. La Lune is a small, yet extremely popular coffee shop where Sora's mom worked everyday of the week.
It was a summer Thursday and almost time for Sora to go back to school. This coming school year, Sora would be starting his second year of high school.
Arriving at the coffee shop almost a half hour late, Sora burst through the swinging doors, stopping just as he entered to catch his breath.
"Hey Kiddo, Thought ya' got lost or somethin'." A short, thin woman turned to face Sora with a wide smile, hands on her hips.
"Sorry ma! But we ran out of bread so I had to go buy it first!" Sora smiled, trying to be innocent looking, but his sheepish grin failed him. Sora had come to La Lune, like every weekday of the summer, to deliver his mother's lunch. Though she worked in a café, she preferred a certain banana and honey sandwich that Sora always made for her.
"Notta problem sweetie." She took the sandwich Sora offered and kissed her son lightly on the forehead. "Would you like to stay for a bit hun? I wouldn't mind some company for my lunch break. How 'bout a coffee?"
"Ya! Sure mom!" Sora's mom quickly whipped him up a coffee and they took a seat at one of the café's tables.
"So… You excited about school, kiddo?"
"Mhmm! Wakka, Kairi, and me are thinkin' of going next week to see the postings and get are schedules early. What do you think?"
"I think that's a great idea, it'll give you more time to prepare and a basic outline of your expectations." Sora watched his mom eat, drinking his coffee, maintaining small talk with her.
"Lunch break is over!" A loud shout announced and Sora's mother stood up almost immediately.
"I'll see you later sweetie." Sora received a kiss on the forehead from his mom as she hurried back to full fill her duties.
Sora hadn't quite finished his coffee yet so he decided he'd stay a while and continue drinking staring into space or at random costumers as they ordered their coffee and food.
It was at the time when the bitter splash and after taste resided in Sora's mouth from the last few sips of coffee that his eyes caught a glance of something much sweeter. It must have been the most gorgeous hair Sora had ever seen. It shone its radiant silvers in the sunlight as its owner was still outside. Just outside La Lune to be exact, its owner was facing out towards the street, but their back was clearly in view through the café's window.
What is that person doing I wonder?
Sora's attention was drawn and quickly captured by many thoughts and questions such as, 'Who is that?' 'How old are they, I wonder…' and still that curiosity, 'What are they doing?'
It then became as possible as probable that this silver-haired stranger was either respecting the other costumers and having a smoke outside the café or waiting to be accompanied by someone…
Sora was soon to find out as he saw the stranger drop a cigarette and shift their body in a way that told Sora they were smearing the cigarette into the street. This was something Sora was used to seeing… many costumers did this just outside La Lune and Sora had made it habit to watch other people when he drank his coffee.
Only now, Sora has finished his coffee, but still he sat in his raised stool, watching the wonderful silver hair dance in the sunlight and its owner do daily, common things.
The stranger then walked into La Lune and Sora caught his first full glance of the older looking male. Such beauty Sora had almost mistaken him to be female.
…Wait! I was thinking of how beautiful 'he' is! What an awkward feeling… to think another male is 'beautiful' and not even realize that he isn't a female!
This shocking feeling consumed Sora making him feel uneasy and a harsh pain lasted a minute or so in his stomach as he quickly got over his resent flaw. But it was undeniable this boy was pure beauty. Soft, light skin, aquamarine eyes, a fair height and build, and that stunning silver hair.
And just as Sora began to feel lost in his thoughts again, those aquamarine eyes he kept lusting over met his own blue, vibrant eyes. It was a perfect moment to possibly say 'hi', but Sora wasn't that open. He just watched as the boy went to go order his coffee… or food, or both…
Oh… Just a coffee. Why was Sora so meddlesome? Well he wasn't really. His thoughts were only just quick passing ones that he usually got when he drank his coffee.
But as pointed out, he was clearly done his coffee.
Another coffee! Good Idea!
Sora got up quickly and made his way over to order his second coffee. He ordered and paid for it quickly so he could go over to the counter where he could add sugar and cream or milk at the same time this silver-haired boy did.
He walked over to the dressing counter quickly forgetting his change, and almost spilling his coffee everywhere… In fact, As Sora arrived next to the boy who was adding sugar to his cup, Sora accidentally spilt some coffee and it partially got the back of the other boy's hand.
"Oh! Hot!" The stranger cried out quietly not making a scene.
Sora's eyes grew huge. He gasped, "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" Sora blushed and panicked at the same time. "I didn't mean to! I'm so so sorry! I was in a rush and I almost tripped, and-"
"Hey – It's alright. No big deal, I can't even feel the stinging anymore… But you owe me." The boy gracefully pushed a few strands of his luscious hair out of his face and smiled at Sora.
"Uh… What!" Sora's heart skipped a few beats
"Heh – I was only kidding, but anyway, want to join me? That is, if you're not already here with someone."
"Yeah- I mean no! No, I'm not here with anyone! I mean.. sure I'll join you…" Sora confused himself and blushed hard as the other boy led him to a table to sit.
"I'm Riku by the way… What's your name?" The two boys sat at a table near the window.
Riku… That is the name of this angelic stranger…
"My name's Sora… I know… a girl's name." Sora blushed again. This was becoming a facial habit.
"Oh is it?"
"Yeah well-"
A cell phone sounded cutting Sora off.
"Oh sorry Sora, I have to get this." Riku held up his cell phone out of his pocket up to his ear. "Hello?" After a few minutes of muffled babbling to Sora's ears Riku answered to the other line. "Oh… Alright… See ya'." He hung up and stuffed the phone back into his pocket.
"Sorry Sora, I have to go. It was nice meeting you. Maybe I'll see you around."
"Maybe." Was the last word Sora said before Riku hurried out of the café doors and vanished into the crowds of people outside.
'Maybe'! Out of all the wonderful things I could have said, I picked 'Maybe'. Awe, I'm such an idiot… What if that was my one and only last chance?
Chapter End.
Thanks for reading. Please Review.
I liked the way I started this one out, but I wish I could have made it a bit longer…
Expect an Update soon.
