Entwined Destiny
Summary : I remember the first time I saw him, it was just from the back but as soon as I read his name on the back of that basketball jersey I knew he was the one.
Entering 5th grade I was, as most 11 year-olds are, quite awkward and I never seem to fit in with the boys. I mean sure I wasn't a complete loser I had boy friends but I just felt more at ease gossiping with the girls rather than getting sweaty fighting over a stupid ball.
I soon realized shortly after watching a football game during recess. That I wasn't interested in the girls on the sidelines trying to be cheerleaders. In fact I was drawn to one boy in particular and that's when it hit me. I was attracted to boys. No one knew of course but this realization just drove me farther away from all male companionship and into the girls evil clutches. This in turn made me slightly more feminine and hygienic than most of the other boys. So as you can imagine I quickly became the number one bully magnet… Seifer in particular, loved to pick on me. He told all the girls I had cooties, he tripped me in the hall, once he even shoved my head in a toilet. My brothers Cloud and Roxas did everything they could to stop it but Roxas being my twin was no bigger than I, and Cloud, though a 6th grader, was quite a bit smaller than Seifer. I was stuck.
So I took the abuse quietly but word gets around in a small, small town. When mother found out instead of taking the issue to the school board she set out to find a way to make me tougher, she never was a kind women. I was enrolled in sword-fighting, self-defense, and to my despair, basketball.
On the first day of practice I walked into the gym, not to my surprise I was faced with the same faces I had known since kindergarten (or in the case of the 6th graders 1st). Hayner, Pence, Seifer, Cloud, Roxas, Leon, Zexion, Demyx, Axel, Tidus, and Wakka. I knew this would be no different then playing at the park, no one would pass to me, except Roxas, Cloud, and occasionally Axel in an attempt to get on Roxas' good side.
After hell… I mean practice… yeah that's what I meant, practice, started I was soon graced with an excuse to get out of this hell hole, the bathroom. I walked out of the gym and toward the locker rooms, only to see something I would of never expected in my 8 years of going to Oxford Elementary, someone I did not know. Not only that but he was beautiful. Granted I only saw his back, but in my eleven year-old mind it was THE most Beautiful back ever. Nothing could of compared. The image of his silver hair and tall thin frame walking away from me will be forever engraved in the back of my mind. I was left with only one clue as to who the gorgeous being walking away from me was. The name 'RIKU' spelt out in white on the back of his basketball jersey, it was one name I would never forget.
A/N: I know its short be I hope you like it all the same there will be a lot more to come. The story is actually mostly true, its based on me and my current boyfriend's relationship. Of course some is taken out and some is added in, some of the issues will change to sense I was ,at least I though, a straight girl (bi now) and Sora is playing a gay boy. But all the trials and tribulations that he will go through are actually genuine.
