Title: Pretend

A/N: Okay so this is my first time writing yaoi like ever. Normally I stick to yuri or straight couples, but these two are so adorable I couldn't resist. As anyways I would appreciate reviews and please forgive me if the characters seem too OCC since this is my first time writing about Riku and Sora. If all goes well I hope to write about them in the future. P.S. If you don't know what Yaoi is it's boy x boy so if you don't like leave now. You been warned. Also no flames complaining about homosexuality allowed :( Disclaimer: I do not own these characters or any Kingdom Hearts character. If I did things would be so different in the game lol.

Pairing: Soriku

Prologue: Never owe anyone a favor

It all started with an owed favor. That's the thing about favors. Ask someone to do you a favor and you instantly owe that person a favor in return. It's not a really a law or anything, but more of a common understanding of 'I help you out so you must help me out as well'. If a person fails to return the favor there is a sense of debt that remains eating that person away with guilt. Of course people don't often think about this when asking for favors.

At least Riku didn't when he asked Sora if he could borrow his math book since he left his at home. Had it been any other teacher it wouldn't have been such a problem, but their math teacher, Mr. Potter, was a real jerk who counted you absent if you forgot your book. Normally Riku wouldn't have cared, but he had already been threaten with being retained a grade due to his excessive absents.

Sometimes although Sora could be quite dorky Riku wished he had more of Sora's sense of diligence. Sora as low as his grades were at times hardly ever skipped unlike Riku who skipped simply because he wasn't in a mood for class which happened to be quite often. Anyways to Riku borrowing that math book turned out to be a huge thing. He couldn't helped, but feel guilty since by lending him his book Sora's almost perfect attendance ended up being strained.

That's why when Sora asked him if he could do him a favor he automatically said yes. This was after school once everyone left. The two had only walked to steps out of the school building when Sora suddenly stopped and asked, "Hey would you do me a favor?" Riku couldn't fathom what Sora could possibly want from him, but he figured it couldn't be anything THAT bad. Surely Sora would only want him to help him study or something because Riku in spite of missing class often was quite smart.

"Yeah sure," Riku had answered immediately. Sora didn't speak for a moment and just stood there. He looked quite nervous which was rare for the small brunette boy. Riku raised an eyebrow at this. What in the world did the boy want to ask? Riku couldn't recall ever seeing him that nervous around him before. "Spilt it up for the love of god Sora!" Riku said growing quite impatient. Sora flushed and blurted out, "You have to promise you won't back out on me!" Riku was even more confused by his bizarre words and desperation.

"What in the-" Riku didn't get to finish his sentence before Sora cut him off. "You got to promise!" Sora insisted once more. Riku sighed. "Okay okay I promise. Geez," Riku replied not really taking time to think about what Sora could possibly be asking him. All that was in his mind was that he owed Sora a favor and that he was finally going to pay him back. No more guilt nagging in the back of his mind. Sora smiled mischievously at this. For some reason Riku began to fear for whatever 'favor' Sora was going to ask of him.

Maybe he should have considered it a bit more before instantly saying yes to Sora's unknown favor. Then again he was probably overreacting. He had a tendency to do that at times. "I need you to be my boyfriend," Sora informed him. His tone was not playful and his eyes were dead serious. Okay maybe Riku hadn't been overreacting. Riku's mouth dropped and then he proceeded to laugh quite loudly too.

Sora couldn't be serious. He had to be messing with him. He just had to. Sure everyone knew Riku was bi and dating a guy wouldn't bother him, but this was just too strange since everyone knew Sora liked Kairi. Except for maybe Kairi herself whom was a bit of an airhead at times. Anyways, Sora was straight. Why on earth would he want Riku to date him? It wasn't until Sora smacked his arm that Riku took a good look at him again that he realized he was dead serious.

"I am being serious Riku! Stop laughing!" Sora said with a pout a light blush adorning his cheeks. "W-What?!" Riku managed to blurt out completely bewildered. Sora laughed at his face and it was Riku's turn to grumble, "So you were joking." Sora instantly denied this, "No! I am serious. I am it's not that's I like you are anything! It's just I had an idea!" Riku looked at him with a weird expression on his face.

He did not like where this was going. He did not like where this was going one bit. Every time Sora came up with an 'idea' it turned out to be a complete and utter disaster. "So you want to date me, but not because you have feelings for me?" Riku questioned carefully. Sora nodded with that cheerful smile of his plastered in his face. Riku ran his fingers through his silver hair slight exasperated. "Do I even want to know?" Riku groaned not liking where things were going.

Forgive him for being so pessimistic, but last time Sora had a 'good idea' it almost got them killed. Literally. "Oh come on Riku! I swear I got a good reason! You see I was hoping that if I dated you I could make Kairi jealous!" Sora explained finally revealing his master plan. So that's what it's all about, Riku thought to himself. Suddenly Sora's suggestion seemed less random to him. Leave it to Sora to come up with the most difficult plan to get a girl to notice him.

"Listen Sora I want to help b-" once again Sora didn't let Riku finish. "You promise you wouldn't back down remember!" Sora reminded the silvered haired boy with a smug smile. Riku frowned realizing it was true, but… "Sora that's not fair! I didn't even know what you were going to ask me for! Besides there got to be better ways to wooing Kairi then pretending to be my boyfriend!" Riku pointed out in frustration for he knew how stubborn Sora was. Riku feared there would be no way out of his promise.

"I already tried everything Riku. Please! Maybe if I make her jealous she will finally notice me!" Sora insisted. Riku was about to say no again, but he made the mistake of looking at Sora. Sora looked like a kicked puppy with his round sad eyes and pout. Riku turned away resting his hand on his forehead. Sora's puppy face was Riku's weakness and he knew it perfectly well. How in the world was he supposed to say no with Sora looking at him like that? "You're really going to make me do this aren't you?" Riku finally said in a defeated voice. Sora's face instantly lit up at his response.

"Is that a yes?" Sora asked with a hopeful voice. Riku sighed. "Yeah I'll help you," Riku mumbled knowing he would regret his words. "Great! I knew I could count on you! Now I need to go tell Kairi!" Sora exclaimed cheerfully. He was about to walk away when Riku grabbed his collar and pulled him right back. "Wait there will be conditions," Riku told him letting go of Sora's collar. Sora turned around to face the taller boy with a puzzled look in his face. "Conditions?" he repeated as if not grasping the concept.

Anyone would have assumed Sora didn't understand, but Riku knew better than that. Sora was just trying to get Riku off his case easily, but it wasn't going to work. "Yes you idiot conditions. First if you try to treat me like a girl I'll kick your ass. Second I am not paying for anything if we have fake 'dates' because this wasn't my freakin idea!" Riku huffed annoyed Sora managed to convince him to go along with his idea. Sora looked thoughtful. "That all? That's not much," Sora replied relieved Riku didn't ask for something major from him.

"There's one more. I will only date you until the Fall Formal. If Kairi doesn't notice you by then I am 'dumping' you," Riku added making quotation marks with fingers when he said the word dump. Sora gaped. "BUT THAT'S IN TWO WEEKS!" Sora shrieked. "Exactly! If she doesn't notice you by two weeks it's a lost case. Besides I don't want to 'date' you longer than two weeks! This is already weird as it is!" Riku countered.

"Way harsh Riku and besides why would dating me be weird? You dated guys before," Sora pointed out. Riku rolled his eyes. "Because you're like my younger brother Sora that's why," Riku stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Sora snorted. "Whatever fine I agree to your conditions. So do we have a deal?" Sora asked. Riku sighed once more fearing for the worst again. At least this time he knew Sora's idea wouldn't get them killed. Nothing could be worse than death right?

"We have a deal."
