"Let's play Blitzball!"

"You always want to play Blitzball Wakka"

"Well what do you suppose we do Tidus? I know you really want to play it too!"

"Actually, I don't. I want to do something else! Please?"

"Fine, fine, hey, what kind of game is that over there?"

Today was the yearly festival in the islands. Everyone was here to enjoy the games, food, and shows that came free at the time of celebration. Tidus and Wakka had arrived with the rest of the Blitzball payers because it was a Saturday, and they had jus came from a game. Apparently, they had won, because they all were in such high spirits.

Sora, on the other hand, wasn't really having that much fun at the place, and soon he would want to go home. Why? Because he wasn't there with someone. He thought that it could be fun just to go by himself, to simply play the free games and gorge himself on the free food and have fun while doing it, but the gods had played the cards against him. And so, once again Sora was given the short stick to play with.

Typical, veeery typical.

Even now it felt a bit strange, walking around the crowded area, with no one to talk to. If anyone had been watching him, they would probably think that he was security, because he thought he stood out compared to the other people there, who were obviously having fun.

But alas, he had enjoyed it more when Riku was here to explore the festival with him. Since he left, he kinda fell of the friend charts, Tidus and Wakka didn't really talk because they had so little time to do so, Selphie was a good friend who always would try her best to cheer Sora up, and Kairi had took a whole different direction than what he thought she would be taking in life.

As he walked closer and closer to the entrance, He felt that he was being watched. He didn't know who, or where this person was, but he was defiantly being watched. He tried to walk a bit faster out of the carnival, but then he began to hear some footsteps following him. He broke out into a run, trying to get away from whoever this was that had their sights on him.

It was too late.

Selphie had already talked and glomped him from behind, taking him down to the ground like a freaking football player. Sora pushed away from her, trying to be free once more as he saw Tidus and Wakka approaching from the side.

"Hey get off of me!"

"But Sooooorraa, you looked so funny, trying to run away! I mean, you looked soo adorable, like you were having a stalker following you and you were about to run like you never ran before!"

"Then that would mean you are my stalker"

He pushed her away, but then he tried to sit there without resisting or doing anything at all, seeing if that would make her tired or possibly bored with him, because he wasn't struggling or fighting back. He could only guess what was going through Tidus and Wake's mind when hey walked up to them- on the ground, Selphie hugging Sora, and Sora looking like a machine trying not to speak any words.

Haha, I wonder what would have happened if it had been Riku that had found them like this, oh, that would be funny.

"Um, are you two going out? I swear I thought Sora was-"

Sora, while he was in a supposed rush to leave, just looked up at Tidus with a questioning look. He turned to Selphie, and she had already let go and stood up, smiling just like always. She cut into his words, as if she had sensed the tension that was forming in Sora's heart.

"Sora was leaving, yeees, and I wanted to stop him! Can you help me convince him to stay, and Paaaaarty?"

Tidus let out a simple smile as Sora stood up and turned back to face the gate outside the festival. He grabbed the back of his hand, making him turn around to face him head on.

"I thought you were going to play with us? The basketball game is gunna start soon!"

"Yeahr, we need someone to play with us, ya. We got enough for a 5 on 4, but we need one more person to play."

Selphie tugged at his arm, trying to force him to stay. That didn't work, as Tidus and Wakka saw plainly in front of their faces, as Sora walked down trough the Gate outside.

"Sorry guys, I have something I need to do."

And with that, the trio turned around, going back into the depths of the fire which was the carnival. Wakka and Selphie didn't realize it, but Tidus was feeling a bit down, under his mask of happiness. He looked back at Sora's now silhouetted figure, trying to think up a plan in his mind to ask him what needed to be asked.

-"-"-

"Hey mom, I'm home!"

Back at the hose, Sora was a bit happy to know that it was just him and his mother here to be with, no other person dragging down a bit of their happiness, because as long as he remembered, he didn't see his father, and no police had come to take his mother away, so it was obvious that she had ham, or either loved him soo much and adopted him. But, either way, they looked too alike for Sora to be some other baby, so he was glad he had his real mother to talk to.

Upon entering the house, Sora walked to the living room, where his mother always decided to rest during the times that he wasn't there to occupy her time. She waved hello as she said the obviously impendent 'how was the fair'. He then decided to take that time to walk out of the living room, and up the steps, yelling a 'good!' back down to her.

He shut the door, and began to prepare himself to take a shower. He did just come back from a place that had free food, which meant that he didn't need to eat another round of food just to eat it. His mother would understood the reason why he would go strait to bed, because he old her everything bout the party, and this was his 9th time going there.

He walked into the bathroom, stepping into the shower, while at the same time throwing a towel to dry him off with at the end of the shower over the shower curtain's pole thingy. He jumped out of the started shower, realizing that the door was open to his see-thru glass shower, and if his mom walked into the room when e was taking a shower, she would see a pixilated naked Sora.

That being done, he jumped right back in, turning on the hot water till it was the maximum his body could stand. He loved to take hot showers, because they were very relaxing, almost being at a spa or something like that.

He often daydreamed when he was in the shower, and though he tried to simply relax without thoughts, his own mind was starting to play games with him again.

-X-X-

"You know what's happening today... right Sora?"

Riku and Sora were defiantly alone, with no cares but each other as the surrounding scene engulfed them in a red hue of the sunlight. Riku was facing Sora whose back was turned to the ocean, trying to not cause his supposed last minutes with his best friend in turmoil. Sora was trying too, to try to put on a mask of how he really wanted to react to his friend's unexpected leave.

"Of course I do! But tell me why you have to go! I don't want you to leave the island, the group, and even... me! Stay darn it!"

With this, Riku laughed, walking over closer to Sora to run his hand through Sora's hair. He placed a single finger on his forehead, drilling it so that Sora smacked his hand away in reflex.

"I don't want to leave. But remember, we ate the fruit together that night. Even if we wanted to separate, we are forever going to be intertwined. But…"

He walked off into the opposite direction, blocking his face from Sora's view. He didn't too hard to get away, so Sora could tell he had more to say before he left, but it looked as though he was fighting himself to say it.

"But..."

"How about just you and me? We could make a promise with words, not a piece of fruit."

He turned around in a sudden shock of energy, a smile spreading across his face. He reached out with his hand, not moving it closer or farther away from Sora once it was put out. Sora looked at Riku, smiling, looking as though it was dreams come true.

"Is this a promise? I swear if you are toying with me I am going to kill you, and I'm sure you know that!"

Riku couldn't help but laugh, but he still had his hand outstretched.

"I promise that no matter what, will always be there for you, no matter if you take my hand or not. When I come back, we will do whatever you want."

And that's when Sora smiled back into Riku, but instead of giving his hand, he gave up something else.

His lips.

-..-..-

Knock, knock, knock!

"Sora!"

He turned right as he heard the banging on the door, picking out that his mother was trying to get his attention. He stopped the shower in a rush, following up to wrap a towel around his body to shield his body from the incoming onlooker. He opened the door, sidestepping to avoid his mother, who had been lying up against the door.'

"It's for you. And I swear, if you lock this door, how will I be able to save you if a catastrophe happened?"

Sora smiled, taking the phone that was handed to him by his mother, helping her up. E put his ear to the phone, talking a bit slow and confirming to see who it is.

"Hey Sora, did you miss me? You know I missed you."

RIKU! Rikurikurikurikuriku!

"Yes I know who you are! Why haven't you called me?"

His mother, suspecting that her son didn't really remember that she was listening- no- here or really cared, took her own time and slipped out the room. Sora instinctively held the phone with both hands, a precaution that he thought would help him remember that he wasn't supposed to let his entire information stack leek out to his mother.

"You know my godmother doesn't let me have phones…Don't you think I would have called you by now?"

Sora thought that Riku wanted to call him, but he was even happier that it was true.

After all, he was waiting for an excuse to believe Riku didn't forget him.

"Uh huh, how's it been? What do you do over there? I wasn't young enough to ask when you left what your g-m was going to put you through, but I want to know now! I really missed you!"

"I was a model, but I stopped. But that's not really important now, I have some great news!"

Great news?

"Huh?"

"I'm coming home in a few hours!"

That's when Sora's heart skipped a beat, trying to register what really was happening right now

"What?"

"Uh huh, that's why I am able to call you now! Because I'm using a payphone at the bustation- Oh crap! See you in a few! I'll be at the dock sooner than you think!"

"This was so unexpected Riku! I don't even have time to prepare!"

"He he, I knew that I would enjoy this, I can't wait to see you again!"

Click.

Sora was standing still; the shower's effects were still on him for just getting out of the shower midway. His mind was only able to register thoughts of 'WHAT TIME IS IT!', and he mechanically turned to his digital alarm clock on the stand next to his king-sized bed.

7:17

Crap! He could make it in time to wait to greet Riku right there, but his mom would be worried sick if he simply left the house. He hurriedly threw back on his clothes, heading back down the steps in a leap to meet up with his mother.

"MOM! Riku's coming home in a few hours! I want to wait for him by the dock! Can I please go?"

His mother, who was now fixing something for her self to eat in the kitchen, simply turned around with a glare. Sora knew what that glare meant, but he hoped that it didn't have the same meaning as it always did.

"No Sora. It is way too late for you to go out there by yourself. Sorry, but you just have to wait for tomorrow."

Sora was cracked open like an egg now. HE knew fighting would be pointless, and even if he rebelled he would just be punished with a condition that wouldn't be pleasing. He slumped back up the stairs, pouting all the time. His mother, who had the look on her face the whole time, laughed like a manic, causing Sora to look back at her with fear.

"I'm kidding silly! If you have your Phone you can go. I will be calling every 30 minutes to check up on you."

Sora for the firs time in his life ran like the flash to hug his mother. She smiled, swinging her spatula for him to 'shoo' to the dock.

"THANK YOOOUUUU!"

-"-"-

Tick…Tick…Tick

STOP ticking damn it!

Sora took all of the will that was left within his Soul to not take off the watch and SLAM it into the ground for proving to be untrustworthy.

" 9:08… It should BE here!"

He began to walk up and down the bus-stop, trying to figure out just how long a trip to the main island could take. He really thought about it, but he couldn't have thought it possible to take almost 2 hours for the destined bus to arrive. He couldn't wait, but at the same time, this is when he said that he would be arriving back in the deserted land of which Sora called his home.

Oh that's right… Riku was coming back wasn't he? He promised Sora that he would forever be coming back, because no matter what, he would have- NO. Shouldn't have been going away.

It was all due to his darn godmother taking him away, Mal-something or like that. It didn't matter to remember the name, Sora only saw a couple of times and it was too long to really remember. However, after 7 years, they would finally be together again, just like the old days.

He kept trying to walk off the feeling by walking; playing with his hoodie, clicking his teeth, and everything else that would allow him to calm down. He was sure that he wouldn't be acting like this if he had brought someone to wait with him, but he was sure that they would probably get as bored as he was, and simply walked away. Sora needed to stop thinking once again, or he would have to deal with killing Riku for real for making him wait like this.

Oh! His cell phone!

Damn! His mother!

"Hello mom."

"Still not there yet? Hmm... Maybe you should just wait for tomorrow, maybe he got delayed or something."

Silence

"Just kidding! I just wanted to make sure you was okay, and I don't want to use up all your minutes, so bye hun!"

Sora walked over to the seat that he had passed countless times while pacing back down forth, waiting. With his head held down, he thought about leaving and waiting for Riku to come for him at his house tomorrow, because it seemed he really was delayed or something. Sora got up and began to walk back home, when he heard a crashing sound behind him. Startled, he turned around to see a ferry had made its way through the water and into the docks perfectly.

Standing still with his mouth pen, Sora caught a glimpse of Silver hair retreating from the boat. Though he couldn't see the face, nor the body, because he had already walked off a bit, and the many poles had taken hold of his view, he could sense just who it was.

The Silver- hared kid was talking to the owner of the boat it seemed, before he headed of to the shore of the beach, completely avoiding Sora's presence.

Sora looked at the figure with squinted eyes, trying to see if this person was really his longtime friend. He was more than shocked when he had broken into a run down the shore, causing the gap between him and Sora to get larger and larger. Sora snapped out of it just in time, and for the second time in his life, not to mention one day, he took off like the wind.

At first the guy was completely unaware of his presence, but Sora could tell he had looked back a couple of times to greet his face. He didn't see too much detail, but he could see that the figure was smiling as he ran.

This wasn't a joke!

As Sora got closer and closer, (the figure was slowing down) he realized that the man was a bit more than muscular, if not downright sexy. He abruptly stopped when Sora was about a foot away from him, causing them to both fly and roll into the sand as if they were a roly-poly.

Sora had closed his eyes upon impact, but now that the world was no longer moving he had the ability to open them fully. Below him lied a man. Not just any man, but a gorgeous, hypnotizing-eyed, silver-haired man that deserved the title "Sexyman".

The thing that broke Sora out of his trance was when the man spoke in a deep and alluring voice, causing him to shiver with thoughts of their positioning.

"Hey Sora, cute as ever. I can't believe how much you've changed!"

"WHAT? Me change! Look you!"

"No, I swear, I would want you over me if I wasn't me."

"What..? That made NO sense. You're confusing me Riku."

"Then shut up and listen."

He sat up, causing Sora to be thrown to his back like he had Riku just a few seconds ago. With his hands just off of Riku's shoulders, he looked like a puppy wanting to get his stomach scratched.

"HEY!"

"Look at my little puppy now, I bet he want his tummy scratched!"

"No I don't- hey!"

And with that, Riku bent down and pushed his finger to his lips, silencing him, also causing his mouth and mind to stop the processes that they were focused on doing beforehand. Riku pulled Sora up, now it was evident that he decided to stay over at Sora's house.

On the hill above them, a shocked Tidus was standing there with a slip of paper in his hands, obviously looking for Sora. His mind blank, he tried to throw the sight out of his memory and his mind.

-O-O-

WOOO! First chapter. I do plan on continuing this, and trust me, they won't be acting like a couple for long. I just wanted to establish that they were taking a liking to each other. And YES, I have plans for Tidus! –looks left then right-
