Author Note: Omg, I'm doing a slash fanfiction for Kingdom Hearts! I've only done one or two slash fics, so I don't know how well this one will be. Yeah, I'm taking a break from writing 'New World Order'.

Well, I guess I should say something about this: it came to me in a dream! Too unreal? Yeah, well it didn't. I was reading other Riku/Sora slash and I read a few where Sora got bullied for being gay. It kinda inspired me to write this because I know what it's like. I mean my last year at school was horrendous when I came out as bisexual. But enough of that I should just get on with this! :D

The first day of school is always a nerve wrecking experience. Sora had recently been kicked out of his previous school due to violent outbursts. It's not that he was actually violent in his normal nature. He'd been bullied for years at that school. Bullied for being short, bullied for having really spiky hair (who bullies someone for that?) and when they finally found out he was gay, they'd taken bulling him to a whole new level. They'd corner him and beat him senseless. They'd scream homophobic abuse at him down the street as he made his way home from school. The last straw was when he was sleeping one night. They'd spray painted 'fag', 'faggot', 'homo', and many more offensive words directed to him. They'd even went as far as setting their garage on fire. Luckily Sora's mom was a light sleeper and smelled the smoke quick enough to get Sora out the house and phone emergency services.

Soras' mom decided it was time for a new start and moved to Destiny Island. She knew Sora would be fine because, here, he was surrounded by his entire family. They all knew he was gay and they didn't care. They supported him through everything.

It was time for Sora to go to school. His mom had set him up at Kingdom Hearts Academy, a private school. His mom knew the headmaster and he'd agreed to give Sora a place in the school as long as he managed to keep working to his best.

Finally, he'd arrived at the front of the school. He looked up to the school, gasping at the sheer size of the building. It looked like a mansion with another mansion built on top of it! In front of the school stood an older man, slightly hunched over with a grey goatee. His uniform was weird looking to Sora; a black overcoat with a white shirt underneath. He waved for Sora to come over to him and Sora complied with no hesitation. As he walked up to the Headmaster of the school he felt under dressed. Here he was, standing beside one of the scariest men he had ever met and he was wearing tattered jeans and a vest that hung low on him, showing off his arms and a large bit of his chest. The Headmaster looked down at the boy and sighed. He opened the doors and motioned for Sora to follow him. Sora let his bag drop from his shoulders and into one hand then followed the superior man.

He'd already heard the rumours about the schools Headmaster. He was a master warrior in his youth, winning a record number of trophies and achievements. His mom had told him a lot about the Headmaster and he sometimes wondered exactly how she knew this man. He is way older than his mom, so it's not like they met when she was younger, did they?

Lost in though, Sora didn't realise he was standing in front of a class full of students in prim and proper uniforms and the Headmaster was talking to him. 'Great way to start the new school, eh?' thought Sora as he finally heard Headmaster Xehanorts voice.

"Tell them your name," ordered the older man, his voice dark, mysterious and captivating. Sora couldn't help wanting to hear the Headmaster speak again. It was like his voice was drawing him in now, grasping all of Soras' attention. He nodded to his elder and turned to the class.

"I'm Sora," he whispered.

"Louder," demanded the man, captivating Sora with his voice again. Sora didn't like the feeling he was getting from the Headmasters' voice, ordering him to do what he's told or there would be consequences. Sora nodded again.

"Yes, sir, my name is Sora," he repeated louder, just as he was instructed. He looked up to the Headmaster, expecting a reward or a sign of his approval. He got what he wanted as Master Xehanort gave him a small smile. The Headmaster looked to Soras' teacher; a long haired brunette with a large scar down his face.

"Leon, take care of this young student," said Master Xehanort, his deep voice sounding like a demand. Leon simply nodded and the Headmaster walked out of the class, the door closing by itself behind him. Sora turned to see Leon pointing at a desk in the middle of a dirty blond haired boy and another blonde haired girl. As he took his seat he sunk into the chair. The boy turned to him and smiled. Sora gave a shy smile and held his hand out.

"Hi, I'm Sora," he said, grinning now, flashing his perfect white teeth.

"Hi, I'm Tidus," grinned the boy, taking Soras' hand in his own and shaked his hand, "that's Selphie, my girlfriend.". Sora turned to the girl to see she was smiling and waving at him. Sora opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by a deep voice, giving no trace of annoyance, anger or any emotion at that.

"Enough introductions, Sora, turn to page 31 in your books," demanded Leon, the belts around his legs clanging together with every movement the teacher made. Sora pulled the large book out his black and white bag. He turned to the desired page to see a note at the bottom corner of the page:

"Turn to page 48" read the note. Soras' curiosity got the better of him and he turned to the page. He seen another note at the corner telling him to turn to page 99. Once again, Sora turned to the desired page and found yet another note. Sora was curious again but was getting bored, thinking this was just a wild goose chase to have nothing at the end of the line. Turning to the back page, as directed by the previous note, Sora saw a not he wish he didn't. On the back cover in big letters spelled the word 'faggot' sprawled out over the page. First day of school and already he knew he was in for an interesting, if not annoying, experience. He turned the book back to the page Leon told them to turn to. Suddenly Sora realised he didn't even know what class it was. He read the top line of the book closely:

'Biology of the Papou Fruit'

Sora sighed lightly, he was never good with Biology. The thought of having to cut something up and examine it just twisted Soras' stomach in a knot and made him want to throw up. He couldn't bring himself to harm anything, dead or alive that posed no threat to him. Just like the bullies at his old school. He closed his eyes, looking back through his memories for his last day at his old school.

The bullies got what they deserved at his last school. He walked into school the next day after they'd torched his house. He was in his normal clothes, a white t-shirt and a pair of black denim jeans, though he could smell the smoke off his t-shirt. He was glad the smoke could be smelled from him because it meant when he was going for them, they'd be able to smell the damage they'd done to him and his mother. He walked into the class as normal, though some people held their noses closed because of the smell of smoke. Sora simply walked up to the bullies leader, a blue haired boy, who was a year older than him and bigger built. Sïax simply sat there, wondering why this scrawny, poor person was at his table.

"Can I help you?" Sneered Sïax, oblivious to the anger Sora had built up over the past few years of this bullying.

"No,' said Sora simply, remaining rooted on the spot.

"Get away from me, fag," growled Sïax. That was it, that what Sora was looking for to be able to vent his entire anger on this blue haired prick. The so called 'blue-haired prick' frowned at Sora, his 'X' shaped scar between his eyes crinkled. Soras' fist clenched at his side; something Sïax was also oblivious to, his eyes staring at Sora.

"You're an idiot," smirked Sora, his eyes staring straight back at Sïax.

"Coming from the fag," bellowed Sïax, his own anger raising at this defiant, poor boy in front of him. Sora clenched his eyes shut, trying to force the anger to calm. He began laughing as he knew it was no use. Years of bottled up anger released. Sora only saw red with rage as his fist connected with Sïaxs' jaw. The blue haired boy fell to the ground, his back hitting the ground with a thud. Sora pushed the chair and table out the way, pouncing on Sïax and raining punches upon punches to the older boy underneath him. He even threw in a few elbows to spice things up for the rest of the class watching.

A clearing of the throat was all it took to bring Sora from his memories. He opened his eyes slowly, worried about who he was going to see. His eyes widened as he saw Leon standing in front of him. He quickly sat up straight and put his hands on his book.

"Sleeping in class?" Asked Leon, his voice and face showing no emotions behind it, "on the first day as well.". He sighed and looked down at Sora.

"Sorry, I was just thinking," replied Sora sheepishly. Oh, what cruel fate could do this to him? First being the new kid, second finding that note in his book (which was given to him by a fellow pupil) and now accused of sleeping in class. 'Way to go, Sora! Become a target for them already!' Cried his thoughts. Sora held his head in his hands, trying to silence his thoughts.

"I suggest you stay back after class," sighed Leon, walking back to the front of the class. Sora turned his head to Tidus, who was smiling like a goof at him.

"Oh, someone's in trouble," sang Selphie, giving Sora a playful punch on the shoulder. He forced a smile at Selphie and Tidus and returned to looking at the book. His face fell once he noticed the book had flipped to the back page with the homophobic note on it. Sora quietly growled before slamming the book shut, surprising the rest of the class. Before anyone could say anything the bell had rung, signalling the end of the lesson.

"We'll wait for you outside the class, it's lunch now," smiled Selphie before giving him a quick hug. Tidus simply smiled as he walked by Sora. Sora smiled, realising he'd actually made a friend, in fact, two friends! He nodded and gave them a quick smile before packing his stuff away. He slowly walked over to Leons' desk, not knowing what to expect.

"Sora, I know it's your first day and you're settling in, but it isn't an excuse for falling asleep in class," said Leon, sternly.

"Sorry, sir, it's just Biology and me don't mix. It makes me feel sick," sighed Sora, trying to explain.

"I'll let it slide, being it your first day and all. I'll try and get you into another class if you want?"

"No, thanks. I don't want to leave this class," replied Sora, blushing slightly.

"Well, go to lunch, you have Physical Education next," said Leon, giving Sora the cue to leave and meet with his friends.

Sora walked out the class and, just as they had said they would, Tidus and Selphie were waiting for him. He smiled at the couple and they walked down the hallways, decorated with pupils work. They passed a large bunch of students and each of them sneered at Sora. 'Great, just great,' thought Sora as they walked by the group and into a large cafeteria.

"Hey, you know lunch costs 300 munny, right?" Asked Tidus, surprising Sora with the sudden question.

"Oh, I wasn't gonna get lunch because I've no money," replied Sora sadly.

"You can't go through school having nothing!" Shrieked Selphie, "here, Tidus and I will half in for a lunch for you.". Sora simply smiled. No-one had shown such kindness to him before, especially not two strangers he'd just met in his previous class.

"Thank you," said Sora, showing he was uncomfortable with someone buying him something. He'd never been a big fan of gifts in his whole life. His mom didn't get a good wage, but it was enough to pay the rent and the bills and get some food in. His grandmother would occasionally send clothes to him, but they were either too big or too small. Sometimes she gave him stuff that fit but he was reluctant to wear it due to it being a gift.

The trio walked up to the serving area, the cafeteria ladies looked at Sora and smiled. They knew ever student and could tell Sora was a new kid at the school, not just because he was wearing worn clothing but also because they'd never seen him in their lives and if they did meet him, they would certainly recognised the unique spikiness of Soras' hair.

"New kid?" Asked the cafeteria lady in front of him. She was very young, very beautiful. 'Wow, if only I wasn't gay," Sora thought, laughing inwardly at his own thought.

"Yeah, I'm Sora," he replied, flashing her a big grin.

"I'm Serah," she quickly said, putting a large spoonful of steak pie onto his plate followed by a large helping of chips.

"Nice to meet you," he said, still smiling, "thanks for my lunch.". Serah nodded in reply, smiling at him before she went back to her job.

Now, Sora didn't know that a relative of Sïax went to this school. The most popular boy in the entire school. Riku. Just as Sora was getting his lunch he'd flipped his mobile phone closed, cutting off his finished conversation with his cousin, Sïax. He looked down to the girl beside him, Kairi. Her auburn hair always glimmered in the light, like she'd just dumped glitter in her hair this morning before coming to school.

"That's him," said Riku, pointing to Sora.

"That's the one that beat up Sïax!?" Screamed Kairi in disbelief.

"Yeah, it seems so," Riku said, his mind full of wonder about this new kid, who just happened to be against his class in the next lesson. Kairi began tracing circles on Rikus' leg, her body up close to his. Riku groaned and pushed her away. Kairi knew Riku was gay but no-one else did. He asked Kairi to be his pretend girlfriend for a while so people wouldn't notice that the most popular boy in school was eyeing up the other boys if he had a girl attached to his hip, basically.

Now Kairi, she was a schemer. She'd always come up with plans to embarrass and humiliate the younger students. Sometimes Riku wondered why he even hanged out with her. Sure, they've been friends for years, Kairi was the closest person to Riku since his mom had died. She knew all about the abuse his father gave him.

Rikus' dad blamed him for everything. He'd even gone as far as to blame Riku for his moms' death. This sent Riku over the edge, he's viciously beaten his dad, got sent to Juvie for a while and when he came back he was told any more violent outbursts and he'd be gone. So he'd quietened down, accepted the daily beatings from his dad. Accepted the harsh words that man spat at him.

Every morning he'd cover the bruises, write down what had happened, put on a brave face and made his way to meet Kairi.

Anyway, back to the present:

Riku stared at Sora. Kairi stared at Sora. Both of them staring at the boy for different reasons. Riku stared in fascination whereas Kairi stared because she was plotting something that was immediate. Finally her plan had been completed in her mind and ready to start. She grabbed one of the trays from the table and put some of her banana pudding on the bottom of it. Kairi knelt down to the floor and slid the tray straight towards Sora.

He didn't even see the tray coming. One moment he was walking beside Tidus and Selphie and the next minute he was staring at the ceiling, his top and trousers covered in steak pie and gravy. The whole cafeteria roared with laughter, except Sora, Tidus, Selphie, Serah and Riku.

Tidus and Selphie quickly got to helping Sora up, ignoring the tray and wiping bits of food off him. Serah quickly came out of the kitchen with a towel for him. The three of them quickly hurried to the nurses' office, to make sure he hadn't hurt anything.

As soon as they walked in to the nurses' office a strong smell of wild flowers floated through the air. Serah and Selphie loved being in this room, it felt the being in a garden which had just burst into bloom. Sitting beside a hospital style bed was a woman wearing a dark pink bolero jacket with a long pink dress and brown boots.

"Aerith, you think you can give him a once over?" Asked Serah, wiping her pink hair out of her vision and prodding it into her hair net. Large, beautiful, emerald green eyes stared into Soras' bright, sapphire blue eyes.

"He's fine," she commented, her voice just as sweet as the smell of the flowers. Sora turned to Tidus to see he was a mess, his face was red, he couldn't take his eyes off her. Selphie sighed and elbowed his ribs.

"You can tell by looking at my eyes?" Asked Sora, confused about what had just happened. Aerith nodded then smiled.

"You'll have to take them off and change into your P.E. uniform, instructed Aerith. Sora nodded and walked into the changing room which Selphie was standing beside.

After a few minutes he walked back out in a plain white t-shirt and a pair of black three quarter length shorts. Aerith smiled at him and he smiled back, thankful that he put a change of clothes in his bag this morning. Tidus smiled at him and Selphie gave him a thumbs up. Sora looked around the room and noticed that Serah was gone.

"Where's Serah? I have to thank her," quizzed Sora. Selphie, still looking at him, smiled.

"She's away back to the cafeteria to find out who done it," replied Selphie, "she hates people picking on the new kids."

"She's the nicest person in this school," commented Tidus. Aerith gave him a quick glare and Tidus quickly changed his last comment, "besides Aerith, that is.". Aerith smiled at the young boy and gathered Soras' dirty clothes from his hand.

"We'll have these ready for you when you get back," she smiled and walked out the office.

"Come on, we have to get to class," gasped Selphie, grabbing both boys wrists and sprinting towards the gym hall. They quickly got changed, leaving Sora outside with Leon. He smiled at his teacher and Leon nodded back to him, obviously thinking about something.

"Sir, you okay?" Asked Sora, his curiosty popping its nasty head up.

"Sora, have you ever participated in a 'Struggle Match'?" Asked Leon. 'Wasn't that what they done in Twilight Town?' Asked Sora to himself. He'd had a few rounds in a tournament they held when he was visiting his cousin Roxas.

"Yeah, I got through a couple of rounds," replied Sora, nodding to his teacher.

"Good, that's todays' lesson: Struggle Tournament," stated Leon. As soon as he finished his sentance a man with bright blond hair and a white, fur coat walked over to them.

"Yeah, and the losers class has to clean the gym up," laughed the man, his voice visibly irritating Leon.

"Seifer, meet Sora," said Leon, putting his hand on the back of the younger boys' back.

"Boyfriend? Isn't that illegal?" Asked Seifer, laughing at his own joke.

"He's a new student," growled Leon, hating Seifers' presence in the hallway.

"Another new kid for my class to beat? Ha! You'll lose within minutes Squall," laughed Seifer. Sora quickly got irritated by the constant laughing this man done, but he noticed Leons' anger at being called Squall. 'He really doesn't like that name,' Sora noted to himself.

"I'm good at this Struggle thing," smirked Sora trying his best to raise Leons' spirits a bit.

"Let's see how you do against Riku then," said Seifer, by this time he was in hysterics.

"Who's Riku?" Asked Sora baffled by the mention of this mysterious person he'd be going up against.

"Riku..." Began Leon, trying to hide the annoyance in his voice, "Riku is the best Struggler in the entire Destiny Island. He hasn't faced defeat since he started doing Struggle Matches.". Sora sighed and Leon pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to stop an on-coming headache. Sora looked to Seifer and finally saw that he had a scar which matched Leons', he'd have to ask someone about that. Sora made a mental note before his class started pouring out. Some of the students in his class snickered at him, obviously laughing about the incident in the cafeteria. He looked away from the students and suddenly he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. He looked up to see Selphie and Tidus beside him.

"Y'ready?" Asked Tidus bouncing on the spot. Sora was about to ask if he was alright but Selphie spoke before he even had a chance:

"Tidus really likes Struggle. He always goes up against Wakka from Seifers' class," laughed Selphie, patting Soras' shoulder.

"I can tell," laughed Sora, enjoying the fact that in the short time being at the school he had already made a few friends. His mom would be happy about that, considering at his last school he was a loner.

The bell rang signalling the class to go into the gym hall and sit around the ring. Seifers' class poured in afterwards, an equal number of students to Leons'. Sora noticed that all of the class apart from one were laughing at him. He didn't care, he was too engrossed in his thoughts. He was wondering why the silver haired boy, with the emerald green eyes that looked like they shimmered in the low light of the gymnasium, wasn't laughing at him.

The teachers sent out student after student to the ring to fight their opponent from the rival class. Sora sat there, waiting patiently for his turn. Leon cleared his throat and sent Tidus out. Most of Seifers class won their fight leaving them in the lead with one point. Tidus needed to win this fight.

The young blond, wearing a yellow, open vest and a pair of yellow shorts. He wore no t-shirt so his body was on display, showing off toned abs. Selphie giggled beside Sora and he didn't even realise because he was still watching the silver haired boy, who was now watching him.

Tidus grabbed the bat from Leons' grip and set himself in a battle stance; bat by his side, legs bent and arms ready to intercept any attack his rival - Wakka - could throw at him.

Wakka, a ginger haired boy with a Brazillian? accent, stood a few feet away from Tidus waiting for his opening move. Wakka is well known for his impatience; so being true to his nature he sprinted towards the blond, bat ready to hit. Tidus leaned onto his heel slightly and spun around as Wakka passed him. The blond brought the bat down on his rival, knocking him to the ground and winning the match. He turned to Sora and Selphie and gave then a giant grin and bounced on the spot.

"So the blond finally beats Wakka, it's only taken a few years," laughed Seifer heartily. Leon growled at this comment and laid his eyes on Sora.

"Sora, your turn," ordered Leon; motioning him to take the bat from Tidus, who was now coming back from the ring. Sora sighed and gently took the bat. As he stood up, giggles and laughter erupted through the gym. His grip tightened on the bat causing his knuckles to turn white.

"Riku!" Shouted Seifer angrily, ordering the mysterious owner of the name to go into the ring. Sora looked around and to his surprise the silver haired boy, he'd had a staring match with, standing up.

"Sir," said Riku. That simple word, not letting his voice be heard well enough for Sora to describe it to himself. Riku was evidently taller than Sora but it wasn't height he was worried about. It was his fighting that worried Sora. Never defeated since he started Struggle.

Sora gulped as he stood in the middle of the ring, facing Riku with everybody laughing at him. He got into his fighting stance - both hands on the bat, his knees bent and ready to launch at Riku. The silver haired boy raised his hand and everyone stopped laughing. Riku bent down slightly, his bat at the side of his face, his free hand in front of him to deflect attacks or push his opponent away.

The bell sounded for the pair to fight. Sora took a deep breath and readied himself for Rikus' attacks, or so he thought. The silver haired boy dashed up to Sora, swinging his bat quickly and relentlessly. Sora gasped as he struggled to block his opponents attacks. He managed to block a few before Riku switches tactics and began slamming his bat against Soras' body. Even though the bat was soft, the blows still hurt from the ferocity of Rikus' assault. Riku unleashed another attack, sending Sora back. He managed to land on his feet, still keeping the match going. Suddenly the room erupted in laughter once again. All pointing to him apart from Riku, the teachers and his friends.

"Ha! I knew he wouldn't stand up against Riku," laughed Seifer. Leon simply pinched the bridge of his nose but looked at Sora.

"Come on, Sora, is that all you've got?" Asked Leon, urging Sora to go all out and wipe the floor with Riku and his smug face. Sora took another deep breath and stood up.

"Come on, Riku! Wipe the floor with that fag!" Shouted an auburn haired girl in Rikus' class. Sora noticed a slight change in Rikus' face. Was that anger? Sora looked to the girl and she flipped the finger at him. He simply sighed. 'I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS HUMILIATION!' Screamed Soras' thoughts. He nodded and then began laughing.

The laughter died down with the sudden laughter erupting from Sora. Riku looked at Sora, confused as much as everyone else.

"Why are you laughing?" Asked Riku, which caused Sora to slowly stop laughing, wiping a tear away from his eye due to the laughter. Sora noticed how soft Rikus' voice was, it was nearly as captivating as Leons'; speaking of which, was looking at Sora with an equally confused look.

"Because I have had enough," replied Sora calmly, swinging his bat with one hand, "I've had enough of being brought down for being poorer than you people, enough of being brought down for being gay and I've had enough of being humiliated for said reasons."

"Oh," was all Riku could say before Sora pounced, swinging the bat with full force, each attack hitting their mark. He gave his opponent no chance to get a hit or a block in. Soras' body and mind flared with anger and he used all of it in one last swing, knocking Riku back and onto the ground.

Everyone in the gymnasium gasped at once. Leon smirked, Sora had done him proud and that little speech before the end really got to him. He knew gays got harrassed in the school, which is why he hadn't come out yet. Seifer stared in disbelief at the sight before him.

"You... Got beat!?" Yelled Seifer angrily, "from a poor, gay kid at that!"

"Class dimissed!" Shouted Leon, watching as the students groaned and walked out, except Sora and Riku who'd been kept behind.

"Good match out there," smiled Sora.

"Yeah, it was," said Riku, showing no hint of emotions, just like Leon. Seifer quickly dismissed the pair which confused Sora to the reason he was kept back. As he reached his class changing room there was no-one there but his clothes had been washed, dried and ironed for him. He picked up his t-shirt and it was cleaner looking now than it was when it was put on this morning. It even smelled like the flowers Aeriths' office smelled of. He'd have to thank her for this.

Riku looked into his rival classes changing room to see Sora, alone and his back facing Riku, putting his trousers on. Silently he locked the door and as Sora was buttoning up his jeans he leapt. Sora turned around quickly as he felt two strong hands on his shoulders. Out of no-where a pair of lips crushed against his.

A pair of eyes watched from a peephole made in the linked changing room. Selphie gasped as she witnessed Riku press his lips against Soras'. Tidus, who was beside her, also gasped. He began laughing quietly and slowly his hand made its way to his pants. Selphie caught this act and swiped his hand away. She knew he was bi and the sight of two guys kissing got him turned on really quickly. He sighed then nodded, taking his hand from his pant line.

"This is an eventful first day for him," giggled Selphie.

Sora noticed the silver hair and pushed with all his might. Riku stumbled back quickly gaining his balance.

"What the hell was that!?" Yelled Sora, angry at Riku for taking his first kiss.

"No-one has beat me at Struggle before, and Sïax told me you were gay," replied Riku. Sora was getting annoyed with Riku now, whenever he spoke there was no emotion behind it.

"Sïax? You're the one who made me fall in the cafeteria?" Demanded Sora, "if you know Sïax, then you'll know what he done to my house."

"Yes, which is why I was trying to stop Kairi from pushing the tray at you. Sora, can I walk you home?" Asked Riku. Sora stared at Riku, disbelief, confusion and other emotions running through him.

"Erm... Yeah, sure," nodded Sora, packing his stuff into his bag. He slung it over his shoulder and Riku unlocked the door. Sora looked at Riku with annoyance in his eyes. Riku shrugged, opening the door.

Selphie and Tidus stared at one another. The richest and most popular guy in the school is walking the poorest and least popular guy at school back home.

Riku walked in silence beside Sora, who was looking at the trees and gardens in the other houses as he walked back from school. He could've taken the bus but walking with Riku means they could talk, or so he thought.

"Riku, you wanted to walk me home and you haven't said a thing," said Sora abruptly ending the awkward silence.

"Yeah, I guess I haven't," said Riku, looking down at pools of sapphire blue. "If you haven't already guessed, I'm gay too, but unlike you I can't come out or I'd be disowned and left out in the street.". Sora stared at Riku. Riku is gay? His family must be really homophobic.

"And I thought I had things bad," smirked Sora.

"Oh, you do. Harrassment, bullying, it's not fair on you. I tried to stop Kairi from doing it but she can be a bitch."

"Kairi? The auburn haired one?"

"Yeah, she's in love with me, even though I'm gay," laughed Riku. Sora smiled, it was nice seeing the older boy showing emotion. Riku smiled at Sora and pressed his hand against the brunet boys' cheek. Sora blushed slightly and looked around to see they'd reached his house. It was a nice house, not too big, not too small. Standing at the front door, watching Sora with the silver haired boy.

"Is your friend coming in for dinner?" Shouted Soras' mom. Sora looked to Riku, who looked more than happy enough to spend more time with Sora, even if it was just the first day meeting him. Sora looked up to him mom and nodded.

Soras' mom was fine with Riku. He helped clean away the dishes without even saying anything. Sora felt something tug at him and he turned to see Riku standing in front of him, in their kitchen. Riku smiled at Sora and looked at the kitchen door. It was him and Sora, no-one else. The only factor against them was time, Riku was leaving in fifteen minutes, his driver coming for him.

"We're all alone," whispered Riku against Soras' ear. Sora nodded and gulped.

"Yeah," he said, his voice failing to be stable.

"Instead of stealing a kiss off you, may I have one?" Winked Riku, smirking a bit. Sora nodded and stood on his toes slightly to kiss Riku, the taste of the papou fruit his mom had mixed with the dessert. Sora felt time stand still as he kissed Riku, tounges battling in a fight for dominance.

A sudden car honking angrily pulled them out of their kiss. Riku looked out the livingroom window to see his driver had come for him.

"See you tomorrow at school," winked Riku as he left the house. Sora knew he would have sweet dreams and you never know, maybe this school will be better.
