Alphabet Drabbles

Hello folks, Lori here.

I got a request from Mintwafflez to do a collab piece of Alphabet Oneshots. And I haz letter A.

Yippee.

S'not that I don't like it.. being first scares me a bit. This is the first thing I've written on here.

On with the madness!

Pairings In This One: SoRiku.

Letter A:

Atoms

"Atoms are the building blocks of all matter. All matter is made of atoms," the sophomore-level science teacher reiterated in a boring monotone.

Sora dozed with his face on his binder, being blessed with the luck of being behind a particularly tall student in the seating chart. Thus, said boring science teacher couldn't see him slacking.

Having nothing to do, he drummed his fingers quietly on his desk while staring at the silver-haired head of the student in front of him.

"In this unit, we will be referring to atoms as particles, which I know is a less scientific word, but will increase your vocabulary," Vexen droned in a tone reminiscent of bees.. "Thus, I won't get told off by Luxord [again] for not teaching you lumps "proper English"."

Sora could have sworn his brain fell asleep in this class. Which probably explained his current C-.

The bell rang with an annoying "BRRRRRING", which caused many students to jump. The loud eruption of chatter obscured Vexen's assignment, but he made sure the students heard his shriek of "TEST TOMORROW!" as they left the classroom.

Sora sucked in a breath.

'I'm going to failll~' he sang in his head.

Unless.. Idea!

He ran up behind Riku, the person whose back he'd been staring at idly in class. Riku was standing with his back to the hallway, chatting with Roxas and Axel at his locker.

Riku and himself weren't friends, and were only acquainted by occasional partner assignments, during which Sora would work with Riku and Riku's partner due to obvious absence of someone to Sora's right.

The two shared notes often, and Riku even tutored him sometimes.

"Hey, Ri--" he began, only to be cut off by a shove by someone from behind. That someone walked off, laughing, as Sora tumbled forward on his overly large school shoes. Sora reached out reflexively to keep himself from falling--

-- and was caught by Riku, who instead toppled from the combined pressure of Sora's weight and momentum.

Thus, the two were caught in a very compromising position: Riku on the floor, Sora above him, Sora's face inches from Riku's. Sora's hands were on either side of Riku's head, holding him up, and his knees were supporting him away from the outsides of Riku's hips.

Needless to say, it was very awkward.

Roxas was busy stifling chuckles in his sleeve, while Axel was full-blown hysterical. Other students were similarly encumbered. One girl even had a nosebleed.

They both blushed profusely.

As the staring girls and laughing guys dispersed into sixth period, Sora's knee gave out, causing him to actually fall onto Riku's stomach. Sora made a squeaky noise, and Riku giggled.

Yes. Riku giggled.

Sora snapped his head up to look at Riku; what kind of sound was a giggle, coming from someone so manly, jock, and smart?

Riku distracted him by asking pointedly, "Are you going to move, or just lay there?"

Sora was almost tempted to say, "You're comfy," but bit his tongue and rolled off of Riku's chest. Which was very well muscled, Sora might add.

'......' Sora grimaced. He did NOT just make an observation about Riku's muscles.

Said grimacing teen's blush was still present, as evidenced by Riku: "You're cute when you're embarrassed, you know that?"

The blush grew redder.

Riku poked him in the ribs. "So what was it you wanted to ask me?"

"Uh, um.." 'What was it, again? Oh, right!' "I was hoping you could save me from impending doom-- er, I mean, tomorrow's science test. Atoms kill me."

Riku grinned like a kid on Christmas. "Sure! Library after school work for you?"

Sora wasn't expecting such a quick return, and was thrown off-balance from a manly, cool-sounding reply. "Um.. okay."
