Bright blue eyes stared concentratedly on a small ladybug before him, taking note of the few dots on it and how orange the color of the shell seemed to be. The head was black enough he could hardly tell where the eyes started and ended and the antennae were so thin that he could barely see it against the green of the grass. It flickered it's wings, climbing along the blade it had landed on only a few minutes ago. As it reached the end, the ladybug let it's wings spread and took off, the blue eyes still watching it until it was no longer in sight.
"Sora. You do realize the bell's about to ring in a few minutes right?" the blue eyed boy heard, turning his tan neck slightly to look up at the redhead he had been friends with since before he could really remember. "That means you should get up and head towards class." she added, nudging him with her foot.
"I know…but classes are so boring, especially towards the end of the school year." he said, sitting up and running his hands through his brown hair, yawning slightly.
"But it's our senior year Sora. We have this one week left and we'll officially be graduated. Out of high school. Free. Get it? You can bum then but for now, don't mess up in your last week of high school. They can fail you because of attendance you know." she nagged, making the brunette scowl slightly.
"I know, I know. I get it, I'm coming. Just go ahead without me." he told her, the skeptical look he received not phasing him at all. But he soon watched her back recede into the distance, soon seeing the other disappear inside the school building that he was laying just outside of. He hadn't a clue what he was going to do after he graduated. He had been accepted to several colleges so he figured he might as well go to one of them since his good for nothing dad had offered to pay. The man had riches more than any person should need and he had no problem showing it off. He was almost tempted to choose the most expensive school to see if it would even affect the man's partying and how much he spent on women.
But he didn't care enough about the man to give it a try. After a moment, he hoisted himself up from the ground, brushing himself off and looking up at the dull, rain battered brick building he had been going to for four years. To think that he was almost done with ever have to see this place again was enough to make him smile. Of course, normally the brunette was very bubbly but the school year tired him out tremendously. On weekends he was one of the most bubbly people you'd be able to find in town.
He stretched his tanned limbs before heading inside, his backpack relatively empty because it was his last week of high school for good. All of his senior friends were acting emotional, unable to believe they were almost done with high school. Sora could have cared less other than finally getting out of this hell hole they called a school.
"Sora! Sign my yearbook! You never did you jerk!" he heard a rather chipper voice call out, turning his head to see Selphie grinning at him, holding out the heavy, thick, hard backed yearbook they had received last week.
"Sorry." he said, giving her an apologetic grin. "This past week has been crazy if you know what I mean. I've had to return my gown twice because they keep giving me one that's too big. I finally got their smallest size but even then it looks huge on me." he told her, opening the book and flipping through to the back where they left space for everyone to sign. He found a spot no one had used up, signing some crap about the last four years in high school and years previous to that since they had grown up on the same island before handing it back to her.
"Thanks. Tidus and Wakka were looking for you too. They said you had to sign their yearbooks. And something about some 'super sick' party they're having after graduation Saturday." she said, giving him a light wave before she walked over to her group of friends she spotted not too far away from them.
He didn't have to look for Tidus and Wakka for long, the two were always together and usually hanging out near the gym. They were two of their school's biggest jocks so it was hardly surprising. "Hey, Sora!" Tidus called, smiling brightly at his shorter friend.
"Hey." he said, giving them a light wave.
"You look tired. But anyway, Wakka and I are going to have this sick party after graduation. We even invited some college kids from the college we're going to. Maybe you'll meet someone from your college too. So just show up. It'll help cheer you." he said, Wakka grinning stupidly from where he stood beside the blonde.
"Yeah man, you haven't decided what college you're going to yet right?" the orange haired male asked, still grinning at him widely.
"No, not yet. But I'll be sure to come by Saturday. But no promises." he said, giving them a light smile before the two's jock friends began to hustle them into a group conversation about blitzball, Sora taking this as his chance to leave.
The rest of the week was pretty much the same, talking to his friends who were very emotional about leaving and signing yearbooks with silly or heartfelt messages. By the time graduation day rolled around, he was ready for the damned thing to be over.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Sora! Graduation day!" a sweet, incredibly happy voice woke him, his door flying open as a woman with long brown hair tied into a braid barged in, grinning at her sleepy son who lay tangled in his light, olive green bed sheets.
"Huh? Mommmmm." he groaned, burying his face into his pillow as he hugged it closer to his body.
"Now now dear, get up. You have to be there by nine this morning remember?" She reprimanded, walking further into the room and taking hold of his sheets to try to tug them off the brunette. Sora was always hard to wake up but once he was up, there was no getting him to sleep until he was exhausted.
"Let me sleep more." he groaned, letting go of his blanket and hearing her stumble back slightly.
"Sora Hikari, if you don't get up right this minute, you won't get your graduation gift!" she said sternly, almost laughing when his head suddenly shot up, blue eyes wide as he looked up at her.
"That's so mean!" he cried out, his shock subsiding temporarily so he could yawn again and wipe the sleep from his eyes as he sat up in his bed. He looked back up at her, lower lip jutting out in a pout. "Can I have it? Can I can I can I?" he asked, pleading with her lightly as his fingers laced together.
She grinned at him, pretending to think. "No. You were rude to your poor, dear mother. My heart just can't take it." She faked a chest pain before grinning at him again. "Of course you can silly. But just remember, you absolutely have to take care of it." she said, grin widening as she saw the confused look in his eyes.
"Fine, fine, what is it? A hamster or something?" he asked, the woman laughing lightly and shaking her head in answer.
"No silly. Close your eyes." she told him, watching him close do as he was told. He heard her running off into her room, coming back after a few minutes later, hearing a few 'thumps' along the way. He assumed with Aerith being her herself, she probably tripped in her excitement to give her son his graduation gift.
Finally, he felt something rather heavy and square being placed on his lap. "Okay, open." she chirped.
He let his blue eyes flutter open and looked down, his mouth gaping open when he saw the box of a Macbook Pro sitting in his lap, looking back up at her. "M-Mom! This is awesome!" he cried out, setting it on the bed before he began to reach for a hug, the woman enthusiastically hugging him back.
"I'm glad you like it. I was hoping it would help you to choose an art school to go to instead of one of those fuddy duddy no fun colleges with all the generic careers. You should go for art instead." she said with a grin.
He smiled at her sweetly, looking back at his laptop. "Thanks mom…it will. I was thinking about that art school out on the main island a few hours away. I've read the reviews for it. I just have to let them know I've chosen to attend. I've done all the financial things with them in case I decided to go. I did it with every college I was accepted to." he said as he scratched the back of his head lightly.
"That's my boy." she said with a bright grin, moving to his closet and pulling out his graduation gown. "Now, get dressed! I have breakfast cooking downstairs and it should be ready in a few minutes. And then…Off to graduation!" she called. "Now hurry." she said before she suddenly disappeared out of his room.
He laughed softly, looking back at his laptop, running his fingers over the cardboard of the box, opening it and smiling as he looked at the beauty of a brand new Macbook Pro sitting right there on his bed. He never thought he would ever get to have one before now.
With a small sigh, he closed the box and pulled his blanket over it before getting up and moving into his bathroom to finally start getting ready for the day. He would finally escape the insanity of high school and move on to a much better education that actually had something to do with what he wanted to do with his life.
But the only problem was that he didn't even know what he really wanted to do. His mother was an amateur artist and sold her paintings in small galleries sometimes. He supposed he had gotten his artistic ability from her but he didn't want to just paint and sculpt like she did. He wanted so do something in art…maybe graphic design. That sounded interesting enough to him.
Once he was done getting dressed, the brunette went downstairs to see his mother just setting the plates down on the table. "Perfect timing my chocolate spiked darling." she said with a bright grin, hands on her hips. She was wearing a rather elegant pink dress with a red shrug and a red bow to match in her hair. Sora had seen her wear this outfit during any important occasion. It was probably he favorite dress up outfit and if she could, he knew she would wear it everywhere.
He sat down at the table, starting to eat his breakfast slowly. He still had a whole hour before he had to be there. "So, any parties tonight deary?" she asked as she sat across from him, eating her own breakfast.
"Tidus and Wakka are having a party but I'm not sure if I want to go or not." he said, no hint of any kind of excitement in his voice. "They said there would be some college kids there and that I might meet some going to my college." he added, his mother grinning widely at him.
"You should go! Starting out with friends is always a benefit! Especially if they're a year ahead of you and know their way around school!" she said, tilting her head the way she always seemed to do when she was trying to convince him to do something she knew Sora didn't have very much interest in. She nearly always won simply because of the fact that her son didn't like denying her something nor did he like getting into long conversations about why he should do it.
But he loved that she was so insistent about things. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have ever figured out certain things about himself. Like the fact that he really loved the scent of vanilla of which he had found out after his mother convinced him to go with her to the biggest candle store in the world. Or the fact that he was terrible at sports of which he had discovered during sports camp several years ago. Or the fact that he was gay…something he found out about when a girl asked him out and tried to molest him on their date.
Aerith didn't care, as long as he just found the right guy. He had dated maybe two guys during school, both of which had been mutual break ups. He had to admit that they had been enjoyable to date while it lasted but it was easy to tell that they just weren't going to last forever. He had even introduced one of them to his twin brother and they had hit it off really well. If he could remember correctly, they were still dating and had been for three years.
He missed his brother a lot. But when his parents had split, so did their custody of their children. Roxas chose to go with their father to make things simpler so there wouldn't be any stress. It was hard to be separated but they talked constantly to keep up with each other.
"Alright, let's get going Sora! Better to be early than late. Besides, I want a good seats o I can take pictures." she said with a grin.
"Mommm, no pictures pleaseeee." he whined, pouting at her as they put their plates in the sink.
"Of course I'm taking pictures! My baby's growing up today! And my other baby will be there too! I have to record all of this! Maybe one day you'll know what it feels like to watch someone grow up and want to take pictures all the time!" she huffed as she took the camera in hand and snapped the first one of the day. "Now, let's get going." she grinned.
He sighed, following her out the door and locking it while she rushed to the car. Sometimes she could be more childish than he could but it was only whenever she was very excited. Normally, she was calm and mostly considered charming.
After the door was locked, he went to the car and sat in the passengers seat, smiling lightly. He was excited to finally be over with everything that had to do with high school.
xXxXxXxXxXx
Young adults in matching green gowns flowed everywhere, some holding up their white paper that officially stated they had graduated high school while others jumped with their friends out of excitement. Girls were crying with their parents while mothers cried over their sons.
Sora found himself being tackled into a hug by his brother, grinning at the blonde happily. "Roxas!" he cried out happily, hugging the other back as he heard clicks of a camera. "Mom! Stop it!" he cried out with a pout.
"Now now, you can't expect me to just sit back and grin can you? It's been a whole two months since you've been able to see each other!" she pouted, smiling as Roxas came over to give her a hug as well. "Hey honey, you know, you should call more often. I won't be able to depend on our little Sora here to catch me up with what you're doing."
"Heh heh…I hate phones…but I guess I should try calling more often." he blonde said, his clear dislike of phones showing on his face. "But anyway…Sora, have you decided what college you're going to?" he asked, looking at his twin expectantly. Roxas was one of those get down to business right away before actually relaxing and having fun.
"Well..I think I might just go to this art school on one of the main islands. But…I don't know what for yet…I think maybe Graphic Design or something." he said, watching Roxas grin at him.
"Good, I would have hit you if you didn't choose an art school you dork." he grinned, making Sora smile at him. "So, going to any parties tonight? Axel mentioned some party and said he'd take me." he told him, arms crossed as he talked with him.
"I guess. Tidus and Wakka are having a party and want me to come. There will be college kids there too so I might meet someone who's going to the same school I am. But I doubt it since the school is two, almost three hours away." he said.
"Aw, don't be negative about it dear, I'm sure you'll meet someone there. And then I won't have to worry about you getting lost on campus."
"Mom, it's not even that big of a campus! Just three buildings not even a ten minutes walk apart from each other. And I doubt I'll be using all three since one is mainly for the culinary students." he said, his attention being drawn away when he heard Kairi calling his name.
"Sora! Hey!" she cried, immediately hugging him before moving to wave at Roxas. "Make sure you come to that party tonight. Otherwise I'll have to kick your butt." she said, waving to them as she caught up with her parents as they left.
Sora could only sigh and shaking his head lightly. "Everyone seems so insistent I go to this party. I just don't get it." he said with a laugh as he and his family began to leave the grounds.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Soraaaa, hurry up. You take forever to pick out clothes." Kairi whined, sitting on the brunette's bed beside Roxas as they watched him move about trying to find a shirt he felt happy with.
"I don't go to parties often, you guys should know that. I don't know what the standard party clothes are." he pouted, sticking his tongue out at them.
"Yeah, yeah. Just pick out a shirt already and let's go. Axel's waiting on me and he won't hesitate to yell at you for taking so long." he said, grinning at him.
"Oh please, you two will have plenty of time to spend together while you're here so don't chide me about anything." he said, finally pulling on a shirt with different colors of bright masking tap across it. It would have to work.
"Alright, let's go then!" Roxas hopped off the bed, Kairi following right after him as the two of them took hold of Sora's hands to drag him out of the room before he could decide that he didn't like this shirt and tried to change again.
It took the three only ten minutes to walk to Tidus's house, hearing the music blaring when they were several houses away. Going inside was no better, the lights were off and strobe lights were flashing everywhere. It was almost like a club except for the looming threat of the police being called for noise violation.
He looked around the scene, Roxas being pulled away by Axel almost immediately after they had entered the house, having a vague feeling he knew what they were going to be up to in a guest bedroom. It's not like Tidus didn't have enough for almost every couple here. His house was huge considering his dad owned several blitzball teams.
He glanced at Kairi who had already found several of her friends, the group seeming to be flirting with someone he had never seen before. He assumed it to be a college guy. He sighed, starting to move through the crowd to find a corner where the music wasn't too loud, sitting down in a chair as he watched everyone on the dance floor move.
His eyes searched through the crowd, looking over at anyone who came to the table to get punch not too far away from where he sat. Everyone looked like they were having a ton of fun, he was content with just watching them all. He blinked when he saw a flash that didn't quite go in the same rhythm as the strobe lights, searching around for it everywhere until he spotted someone with a camera, the figure lean yet their shirt fit well enough to show they had muscles. Sora glanced down, noticing his pants were only slightly baggy. But the most impressive part of this person was their eyes.
He found aqua green eyes staring at him from behind the camera he had lowered slightly, hair flowing over his shoulders as silver as any jewelry he had ever seen. Sora found himself captivated by his eyes, not even noticing as they got closer to him. It wasn't until he saw another flash that he flinched, hands coming up to rub his eyes slightly.
"Sorry." a smooth voice said, the sound seeming to just roll into his ears and get stuck in his brain.
"I-It's alright." he said, finally opening his eyes to find the most gorgeous man he had ever seen before standing in front of him with a camera hanging from his neck.
"What are you doing here all alone anyway? Isn't this a graduation party? You should be having fun with the rest of them." the man said, Sora watching as he glanced around them, taking a few snapshots now and again before letting it fall around his neck again.
"I-I'm not much of a party person but everyone insisted that I come. They kept saying I might meet someone that goes to the college I'm starting at soon." he told him, watching the man take a seat beside him.
"What college?"
"The Art Institute on the main islands." he told him, watching the pale man's lips curl into a slight smile.
"I'm attending that school. I'm on summer vacation now and start back again two weeks before freshmen move in. I could show you around the school when you get there." he offered, his smile never leaving his face.
"Sure, that'd be nice." he said, unable to help but find that half smile charming. He felt his heart pounding slightly in his chest, surprised by this. He hadn't felt that since the last time he had dated someone. Did that mean…he was developing a crush on someone he hadn't known for even five minutes?
"Great. Now, how about a dance? You can't go to a party and not have a least one dance." he said, standing up and offering his hand to him, his aqua eyes only capturing Sora's attention again. Before he knew what he was doing, his hand was in the older's pale one and he was up on his feet, moving onto the dance floor.
He was vaguely aware of the man passing off his camera to one of his friends before they were on the dance floor, the other immediately getting into the rhythm. It took Sora a little more time to start dancing, pale hands resting on his hips to help move them with the beat. He could feel everyone else dancing around them but his eyes were staring straight into the aqua ones right in front of him, feeling as though he was losing his breath.
He wasn't sure how long he danced with the mysterious male, all he knew what that after a long time, he felt exhausted and finally pulled away from the other to head out of the crowd, moving outside to fresh air where he could cool down and catch his breath. He hadn't realized that he was sweaty.
He gasped when he felt arms wrapping around his waist from behind, recognizing those pale arms that belonged to the man he had been dancing with for who knows how long. "You don't dance all that badly." lips whispered near his ear, making him turn his head slightly to look at him.
"T-Thanks." he said, his heart beating quickly in his chest.
"You have a place we can go?" he heard the voice ask before teeth began to bite at his earlobe, making him shiver. He hadn't expected something like this to happen.
"M-My mom's home. I don't think we could do that." he said softly, bewildered that this man would even ask something like this. Of course, he seemed to have forgotten that he was talking to a very gorgeous, wonderfully dancing, sexy college guy.
"Are you sure?" His breath rolled over his ear, teeth nibbling at his earlobe again. His body was pressed against his back insistently, as if to tell Sora that they could do this. "The way you danced, how you moved your hips so sexily…" the male continued, one of his hands moving to rest on the brunette's hips lightly as he started a small sway. "The way your skin glistens when you're sweaty." he kissed his neck, able to feel the silver hair brushing against his skin. "Come on…we can be quiet."
Before Sora had any chance to cave in, someone caught the silverette's attention, the male lifting his head to look at one of his friends. "Riku! Hey, let's ditch now. My uncle just called and said he got us like, ten kegs of beer." a boy wearing a grey beanie called out.
A smirk appeared on the man's face, finally pulling away from the smaller brunette. "Well then, until next time cutie. See you at school." he whispered into his ear, making Sora give one last shiver as his hand slid across his ass before he completely left him standing there, dazed and confused about what had just almost happened, what he had just almost given in to.
He stood there for several more minutes, watching several teenagers climbing into the same car Riku was taking before they drove off, officially ditching the party. He shook his head, hand moving up to his head to run through his hair for a moment as he composed himself and began to walk home, even with it so dark out. He was almost afraid to go to school now that he had met much such a…breathtaking man.
xXxXxXxXxXx
A sigh escaped his lips as he stared up at the ceiling of his room, only in his boxers. Summer seemed to have gone by a lot faster than he could have hoped it would. He had been bored all summer since most of the friends he had graduated took off on one last amazing vacation before they had to ship off to college. He sighed softly, again, looking at his doorway when his mother knocked lightly.
"Sora deary, you might want to go ahead and start packing up. We move you over in three days." she said, raising her eyebrow as she looked at her son. "Are you thinking about that guy from the party Roxas told me he saw you dancing with?" she asked with a light grin on her face.
"Mom! No!" he blushed, sitting up. "That was months ago! Why would I still be thinking about it?" he asked, frowning to himself. Ever since Roxas told Aerith about him dancing with Riku, she hadn't been able to help but mention him every time she saw him thinking to himself.
"Oh, come on, I heard he was sexy. And you haven't told me anything about him. Come on, tell me." she begged. She had asked him to tell her almost all summer but Sora refused say anything about him. He was too embarrassed to tell her about what almost happened.
"No mom, I keep telling you I don't know anything about him. We met, we danced, and then I came home." he said, moving out of his bed to start going through his clothes so he could pack.
"Soraaaa. Come onnn. You can't tell me that you two didn't even talk. Tell me. Pleaseeee?" she whined, lower lip jutting out as she pleaded with him. It was easy to see where he got his pout from.
"Mom, all we talked about was school that night." he said, knowing that she didn't believe him by the look she gave him. He frowned, staring at her. "What? That's all that happened mom!" he insisted, watching Aerith raise an eyebrow and inch forward, laughing as fingers began to tickle his sides.
"You can't lie to me!" she grinned, making him laugh until his sides hurt and even then she wouldn't give him a break.
"F-Fine!" he laughed out, grabbing her hands while she grinned at him. He took a moment to catch his breath before he looked at her, Aerith just giving him that awaiting grin as she leaned forward in anticipation. "W-Well…we went outside and started talking. He thought I was sexy and kept hitting on me to the point where I almost let him…you know." he blushed darkly.
"Sora! That's so cute!" she cried out, hugging him happily. "Oh! I hope you see him on campus! From the sounds of it he sounds like a stud!" she cried out. shaking him lightly. "Oh, maybe I'll get to meet him when I help move you in Thursday!" she said cheerfully as she finally stopped hugging him and finally leaped up to leave the room. "Now get packing!" she said happily.
He didn't see what was so cute about almost letting some guy that he hadn't even learned the name of do him. He couldn't understand how she didn't get made at him, especially with the worst explanation he had ever given anyone of anything. But all he could do was simply shrug and get to packing.
xXxXxXxXxXx
Those three days passed by without much interest outside of packing and rediscovering articles of clothes he had long forgotten he had. Most of them were clothes from when he had first started high school and had liked too much to throw out. But with each new school year came new clothing and now he just had a heap of clothes he was taking with him. At least he wouldn't have to do the laundry too often.
Currently, he was sitting in his mother's car, knees drawn up to his chest as he looked out the window, listening to whatever CD his mother had put into their car's CD player. All of his clothes and college gear took up the back seats and back of the car the car really not all too packed since he didn't have much to take with him to begin with.
They had been riding in the car for two and a half hours and finally had hit the town only five minutes ago. Sitting in traffic wasn't fun as Sora was reminded while they were stuck several cars away from a light while traffic was trying to come in from the highway exit to their right.
"Sora, I love you baby but why in the world did you have to choose such a busy town to live in from now on?" she pouted, banging her head against the steering wheel of the car while traffic once again stopped before it could even get started.
"Hey, you're the one that encouraged me to go to an art school. This is the closest one you know." he said, blue eyes looking back at her. "Besides, it's a really good school. Traffic's probably this bad because it's near one of the last weekends of summer." he said, glancing at the car beside them with a bored looking man reading the newspaper and taking a sip from a paper coffee cup while his eyes kept glancing up at the light to see when it would change.
"Yeah…I guess. But my lord! Remind me to only visit you during the week! Otherwise I'll lose all my hair by the time I'm fifty!" she cried out, making her son laugh at her lightly.
"Mom…just stop worrying about it. Don't forget there are several colleges on this island so I'm not the only one moving into my dorm." he said, able to feel his mother's gaze on him while she groaned.
"You don't tell me anything but the basics do you? From now on I'm going to need a full traffic report from you." she huffed, driving forward when traffic allowed. After several more minutes of meaningless conversation, they finally broke free of traffic and were pulling into the parking lot so Sora could get his dorm key and move in.
He climbed out of the car, Aerith deciding to stay in the car to relax for a bit while he ran inside to the new student's table to get his key. He walked through the entrance of the building, finding several tables set up for different things that they needed. He sighed, looking around at all the tables and freezing when he saw a familiar head of silver hair. He quickly looked away before he male could notice him looking at him, although he doubted he would since he was busy flirting with a quirky little red head with short shorts on and an almost see through shirt.
He went through all the tables quickly, taking care of any business they needed him to before he came to the last table where the other male was. He went to the woman that sat beside the silver haired male, the woman looking up at him with a light smile. "How can I help you dear?" she asked, adjusting her small glasses.
"I just needed to get my house key. My name's Sora Hikari." he told her, watching her nod her head and start to go through all the manilla envelopes with names labeled on them. While he waited, he felt eyes on him, daring a glance at the silver eyes beauty and finding himself captivated as the male stared at him.
"Well well…I didn't think we'd see each other again the day you moved in." he said with a grin, a light blush rising on the brunette's face. But he said nothing in reply, the woman handing him the envelope before he could even think of anything to say to the other. He took it and left the table, heading towards the doors as he heard the scraping of a chair on the floor and feet running to catch up to him. "Aw, don't ignore me. You're mad because I left you before we could do anything aren't you?" he asked heard the male ask, looking up at him.
"N-No! I'm not mad. My mom's just waiting out in the car for me." he said, continuing to walk out the doors of the main building and down the few steps there were before he felt a hand grabbing his wrist and spinning him around to face the silver haired male he felt so nervous around.
"Mhm. Sorry to say, I don't believe you." he grinned, Sora blinking in surprise. He was startled as the other began to lean forward, lips stopping right beside his ear. "Don't think I forgot how sexily you dance or how your hips move. I don't forget easily." he whispered, teeth biting at his earlobe and making the brunette shiver slightly, his heart starting to race again like it had that night they had met.
But his heart really started acting up when he heard his mother's voice. "Sora! There you are! I got worried because you were taking so long!" she huffed, stopping when she noticed the silver hair man attached to her son's ear. "Aw, you must be that boy from the party!" she nearly squealed, immediately walking forward as the male pulled away from Sora's ear and gave her a charming grin and holding out a hand.
"You must be Sora's mother. It's nice to meet you. My name is Riku." he said as Aerith took his hand and shook it enthusiastically. "So…he talked about me did he?" he asked her, giving a sly grin to Sora, the boy blushing and looking away.
"Oh yes. But he was so reluctant to! I had to get his brother to tell me. Otherwise the poor boy would never have told me anything! He likes to keep me out of any romantic matters. Maybe he's still trying to cope with the fact that he's gay." she sighed in slight disappointment, looking at him as though to say he should just accept the fact that he liked guys.
"Mom! I am not! I've dated a few guys!" he cried out, his face reddening even more.
"Two guys Sora. Two. Leon was such a sweet boy. And look at Axel! He's with Roxas now!" she argued.
"Mommm. I introduced Axel and Roxas because I thought they would do well together and you see how long they've been dating!" he pouted, making her smile.
"Oh, I just love that pout!" she cried out, hugging him. Riku grinned as he watched the spectacle before him, crossing his arms over his chest. "Oh Riku deary, you just have to get Sora out of that shell of his! You seem so charming so I don't mind you. But if you two don't work out, you have to keep an eye out for anyone he does date." she said, making Sora hide his face behind his hands in embarrassment.
"Mom. Stop trying to find me a boyfriend. I can find them on my own thanks." he said, watching her pout. "Can we just get me moved in please?" he pleaded with her, watching her glance to Riku and back to him.
"Alright, alright. Riku dear, would you like to help?" she asked with a grin, the male grinning right back at her.
"Sure. I would love to help." he said, Aerith grinning almost devilishly.
"We only have two free seats in the car. The drivers seat and the passenger's seat. Guess you two will have to share." she said before turning to head back to the car.
"Mm…I don't think I'd mind." Riku said, lips nearing Sora's ear again. "If it means that I get to feel your body again, I don't mind at all." he whispered and nipped at his ear before he was suddenly right behind his mother.
Sora was left blushing, shaking his head to try to clear his mind before following after the two. He didn't understand why the man was so insistent with his hints for sex. And why the heck would his mother even tell Riku of all people that they should date and she approved of him when she'd only met him this once? Granted Sora had only met him twice but still…he knew a different side than his mother.
With a sigh, he found Riku already in the car, Aerith grinning at him. "Come on Sora, I want to get you moved in and settled so you and Riku can have more time to…get to know each other." she grinned. He gave her a light glare, climbing into the car and finding hands taking hold of his hips before he could sit down. They moved him so that he was sitting on the silverette's lap, blushing once again.
He felt awkward on the short ride over to the dorms, climbing out as soon as they parked, finally opening his manilla envelop and letting the key drop into his hand. "Uh…it says room 317." he said, looking up at the tall building before them. "At least it's not the top floor." he muttered, opening the back door to pull out a few things to take with him.
Aerith and Riku grabbed a few things as well before they all began to head into the building, relieved to find there were both stairs and elevators they could choose form. He quickly took an elevator, climbing off on the third floor and finding his room easily. Almost as soon as he opened the door he was startled to hear strange moans, finding two bodies occupying one of the beds.
They immediately stopped, looking at the door, one with an embarrassed face, the other looking as though he could care less, rather, he just wanted to finish. "S-Sorry!" Sora squeaked, immediately turning his back to them.
Riku peaked over his shoulder, grinning at the two. "You do realize today's move in day right guys?" he asked, deciding he'd rest his chin on Sora's shoulder while he talked to them.
"Heh, must have forgotten." the one on top said, his dark blue, almost purplish hair covering half his face while the blonde underneath him continued to blush.
"Mm, I'm guessing you'd rather just room with Demyx?" he asked, watching his friend smirk.
"Of course I would, did you really have to ask?"
"Alright then, hey Sora, give him your key. You'll be my roommate then." Riku grinned, making the brunette gawk at him.
"N-No way! Don't I get any say in this?"
"Oh stop being such a big baby honey! This is a good opportunity!" Aerith chirped from behind the two of them,
"Yeah Sora, it's a good opportunity." Riku agreed, all the while giving him a grin. He glanced between them, finally sighing in defeat and pouting almost angrily. Riku grinned, ushering Sora out of the room and closing the door before he walked down the hall to the opposite end and pulled out his own key to unlock the door.
The room was relatively clean, one side had several bookshelves full of books he was sure weren't text books and a few pictures were hung on the wall of the two they had just found in bed together. The other side had several band posters up but the wall mostly pictures of various things such as people, flowers, trees, street lights.
He paused when he recognized one of the pictures, setting his things down against the wall before he went to look at them. "Hey, these are the pictures from the party." he said, pointing to the ones in the top left corner.
"Yeah, I only put my favorite ones on the wall." he said before he slinked behind him and rested his hands on the other's hips. "There are two of you up here." he said into his ear before backing off and going over to Aerith. "Shall we go get the rest of his things?" he asked her with a charming smile on his face.
She grinned and nodded her head. "Of course. Sora dear, why don't you watch the room while Riku and I go get the rest of your things? I think we can handle two more small bags." she said, taking Riku and leaving the room.
He blinked, shrugging his shoulders lightly when they were gone. He suddenly felt so….grown up. Knowing he wasn't going to be living with his mother anymore and having a roommate whose new hobby seemed to be trying cox him into some sort of sexual deed, or at least torture him with his teases while he was here.
He didn't know how he was going to handle everything while he was here. He was a good student, he turned in his work when he was supposed to, he was hardly ever late, he was always the quite one in the back who didn't want to say anything. It was just who he was. He had never been confronted with people who liked him other than Leon and Axel and even then those relationships hadn't even been that long.
Leon was a few years older than him but he had been sweet to him. He had respected his wishes and taken him out on at least one date every two weeks to give him time to do school work and spend time with his mom. Aerith had really liked him but in the end, they had decided not to date anymore. They were still really good friends and he was happy that he got to talk to him still. And now that he was on the mainland, he would get to visit with him again.
Axel had been nice too, but he was just so different from Leon. He was a lot more energetic and sometimes could be a bit too irrational when making decisions. He had a hot temper. That relationship had been rather short but they weren't all that mad about it. He had figured that Axel would be a better match for Roxas than for him. And it turned out that he had been right.
He blinked when Aerith's laugh was heard from the hallway, peeking out to see Riku charming his mother into liking him. Sora wasn't sure as to why the silverette was so persistent with him. He had been hoping that they wouldn't actually see each other after that night. He had been so embarrassed because he knew that if the man had stayed just a few minutes more he would have given into his advances. And he was afraid he would give into them now that he would be living with him.
Aerith came through the door with his new roommate behind her, Riku carrying the rest of Sora's things. "So dear, what do you think about it? Will you be okay here?" she asked him, grinning at him lightly.
"O-Oh, it's fine." he replied, smiling at her lightly. "I think it'll be better after I've unpacked everything and get settled." he said, glancing around at the side that would be his as soon as the other male got his things out. He hoped it would be soon, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do with all his clothes.
"Good. I'll call you when I get home. Or later tonight. Or sometime. I just hope to hear some good news from you about a certain something." she grinned at him, pulling her son's head down to her to kiss his forehead. "Alright sweetie, I'm going now. Be a good boy." she said with a smile, giving Riku one last nod before leaving and closing the door behind her.
Sora blinked, surprised that she had left so quickly. He had been expecting her to cry or act like one of those touchy mothers who wanted to just stay as long as possible. But she was gone, just like that. He scratched the back of his head, looking at the few bags he had. He didn't know what to do now.
"So, now that we're alone…and you can't unpack anything until Zexion gets his things out of here." Riku's voice broke his thought process, making him look back at him to find the male not too far away from him. "So I was thinking…" he began, already beginning to wrap his arms around the brunette's waist and pulling him close to him, making Sora blush lightly.
"T-Thinking what?" he asked, feeling lips move beside his ear, hot breath rolling across the shell of it.
"I was thinking we could get to know each other a little better. What do you say?" he said, nipping at his ear lobe again. Sora shivered, feeling hands moving down to his ass to grab at it while teeth continued to nip at his ear. He shivered again, finding that his arms wouldn't push the male away from him.
He felt lips move down to his neck, gasping as they stopped and starting to suck at a spot while the hands on his ass pushed his hips completely against the other's hips. He found that his body was getting weaker just being near this male. Why did he have to meet him? If he hadn't met him, he wouldn't be having such a battle with himself.
"P-Please stop." he finally heard his voice let out, relieved that he was at least able to make himself do something to try to stop this from happening. The lips stopped sucking on his neck, moving back up to his ear to speak again.
"Are you sure you want me to stop? After all, we've both been waiting for a while for this." Riku whispered, hands still pressing their hips together. "I still haven't forgotten how you danced and the way your skin got when you sweated." he whispered into his ear, swaying their hips lightly, giving a small grind.
Sora gasped, shivering again. "Y-Yes." he said, his heart racing in his chest slightly as he waited for the other to let go of him. But when he began to grind their hips against each again, he couldn't help but let out a moan.
"From the sound of that moan, I'd say that you don't want me to stop at all." he whispered into his ear, biting the lobe again. His resolve was quickly disappearing and at this rate, it wouldn't be long before this man had him underneath him and moaning. He had to keep strong, he just knew he did but he also knew that he just wouldn't be able to.
"I-I'm sure I want you to stop. Now please. Just stop it." he pleaded with him, shivering slightly. Riku licked the shell of his ear before finally letting him go, grinning at him.
"Just you wait, it won't be long before you give in." he said with a grin before Sora watched him go into their bathroom. He immediately left, feeling as though he needed some fresh air to calm himself down. He really needed some time to think.
xXxXxXxXxXx
After several minutes of walking, he found himself out on the grounds, heading towards town. The brunette honestly didn't know where he thought he was going, he didn't know anything about this town, he didn't know where anything was and he especially didn't know anyone willing to show him around…other than the very person he was trying to get away from at the moment.
A soft sigh escaped his lips as he ran a hand through spiked hair, feeling his pocket buzz at that very moment. He quickly slipped his cell phone out of his pant pocket and smiled when he saw that Leon was calling him. He quickly answered with a 'hello big bad man', making Leon chuckle lightly on the other side.
"Hey, I was just wondering what you were doing? I remember you telling me you were moving in today. Did you finish getting settled in?" Sora could hear the noises in the background, probably from Leon's current boyfriend, Cloud, cleaning up the place. Apparently the older brunette had gotten a bit sloppy since he had gone to college.
"Not really…but I'll tell you about that later. Can we meet up for a little while? I really don't want to go back to my dorm room right now…there's molester just waiting for me to come back." he said, groan evident in his voice.
"Molester? Well…I'm sure it'd be hard for any college guy to keep their hands off you with as adorable as you are." the other said, his tone teasing.
"Oh shut up. I'm serious, he's already molested me more than five times! And I've only been here for maybe an hour! And then there was that party! Oh, I knew I shouldn't have gone to that party!" he cried out exasperatedly as he listened to Leon's chuckling die down near the end of his ranting.
"What party?"
"It was a graduation party I went to…everyone kept bugging me to go. I was just sitting in the corner minding myself when this guy just comes up with a camera and is taking pictures and then I get roped into dancing with him and then he almost convinces me to go have sex with him and then he just left!" Sora huffed, getting several looks from a few other students out on the campus grounds. The brunette had obviously forgotten he wasn't in a private place and shouldn't be speaking of such things so loudly or not at all.
He quieted his voice as he continued to talk, eyebrows knitted together in his annoyance. "Turns out he goes to my college and we're not roommates when I was originally in another room but walked in to my roommate having sex with Riku's roommate and suddenly I'm forced to change rooms." he said, his free hand at his temple, rubbing lightly. He was getting a headache at just thinking about today's events…and just how much of a nuisance Riku had been since he had met him.
"I see…" Leon spoke, having long ago gotten used to Sora's rants and way of moving on from one thing to another without really connecting them well. "And he's been molesting you since?" he asked. Sora nodded, even when Leon couldn't see it but the older knew the boy well enough to know he was nodding without thinking. "Well..I can't say much without meeting him. How about I come by tomorrow afternoon? I know where your school is at, you just have to meet me at the gates so you can show me where your dorm is." he said.
Sora sighed in relief, smiling brightly. "Great! Then tomorrow afternoon it is!" he said. If anyone could scare Riku off, it had to be Leon. A lot of people tended to avoid Leon because of how grouchy he always seemed. Sora wasn't even sure how they had ever started talking with as quiet as the man used to be. Of course, Sora could be quite bubbly at times and was probably the reason itself.
"Alright, I'll call you when I'm at the gates. Until then, be careful Sora." the older said before hanging up, Sora stashing his phone back into his pant pocket. He felt more relaxed now that he had talked to the one living soul he knew in this town. At least this whole infatuation would come to an end soon, he honestly couldn't wait. He wanted to be a normally college freshman, focusing on school work, hanging out with a few friends, and sleeping in until late in the afternoon.
He then because to head back to his dorm, a few more students up and about, probably excited for their first night away from their parents for the next three months. Sora rolled his eyes at the wild behavior a few exhibited, quietly slipping past all the fuss and celebration to head back to his dorm.
As he exited the elevator, he saw the two guys from earlier, the blonde blushing as he saw him but immediately gave him a smile as he lugged one of the bookcases into the room. It looked like 'Zexion' was finally moving out. Which meant Sora could finally start unpacking everything. He watched as the blue hair individual entered after the blonde and closed the door, quickly passing and heading back to his own room.
He found the door unlocked, probably from the other's recent move, and went in, bringing a hand up to his face and covering his eyes immediately. "We have a bathroom you can change in you know!" he cried out, the naked silverette simply looking at him with amusement.
"Aw come on, I didn't think you'd be back for a while. And besides, Zexion never minded. Although…he was always reading or with Demyx." Riku said as he pulled on some boxers, unable to stop grinning to himself. "You can look now." he said, Sora peeking between his fingers before slowly letting his hand fall.
"Where's my key for the dorm?" he asked, Riku using his head to point over to where Zexion had left it. The brunette quickly walked over and pulling out his tiny keyring that only held his house key and a homemade keychain his friend Kairi had made for him back in freshmen year, when she had still liked him even though he was gay. He slid the key on, slipping it back into his pocket before going over to his bed and beginning to unpack everything, all the while feeling those beautiful aqua eyes on him.
Irritated, he looked over at the older who was laying on his bed on his side, his elbow propping his head up with an amused smile on his face. Rolling his eyes, he went back to unpacking but he couldn't seem to concentrate, knowing the other was still looking at him. Finally, he looked back, glaring at him. "Just what is so amusing?" he asked him, standing up straight and putting his hands on his hips, a habit he had picked up from his endearing mother.
"Nothing…I'm just thinking about how wonderful this year is going to be." he said before moving to lay on his back, hands behind his head as he stared up at the ceiling where even more of his pictures were. Sora continued to glare, moving to stand beside the other's bed, leaning over so he could have his full attention.
"Look you, I'm not going to put up with your molesting the whole year. Either stop it or I'll make a complaint to the school. I'm sure they'd love to know that one of their students is a molester." he said, appalled as the other simply smirked at him.
"Oh-ho, dear Sora, all the staff at this school adores me. They wouldn't dare think I was a molester. They'd believe me if I told them you had been leading me on and I thought we were in a nice relationship." he said, smirk widening at the look on the brunette's face. "Besides, how can it be molesting when you want it?" he asked, a hand reaching out and grabbing hold of Sora's shoulder, tugging him so he fell on top of the other's chest with an 'oof'.
"I do not want it!" he cried out, trying to wiggling out of the other's grip but it was near impossible when the older's free arm snuck around his waist and held him in place. "Stop it! Let me go!" he cried out, immediately stiffening when he felt lips attacking his neck, nibbling and gently biting it. He gasped as the other began to suck, shivering at the strange feeling he got from this. It had been such a long time since he had done anything sexual. No, he had never had sex, he had always been too shy for it, but he had done a few of the minor things like making out, hickeys, and a bit of grinding but no more than what would be done on a dance floor.
He felt his eyes fluttering closed as the other continued to suck on one spot, feeling him pull away after a moment and simply licking it. His eyes shot open after this, glaring at the smug look on Riku's face. "There, now everyone will know you belong to me and won't bother you." he said with a grin.
Sora glared, trying to tug out of his grasp. "I don't belong to you, you asshole!" he cried out, slipping out of the other's grip and immediately going into the bathroom to look at the damage done. He groaned, wanting to throw a hissy fit. This man was going to get on his last nerves by the end of the year, he just knew it. He couldn't wait until Leon got here tomorrow. Hopefully it would knock some sense into the stupid silverette.
With another angry sigh, he left the bathroom to grab some pajamas to change into, making sure he was out of the other's sight when he did so. He didn't need to be attacked right now, he was already too angry at him for trying to 'claim' him. This was ridiculous that he couldn't seem to get away from this guy. He didn't even know his last name or how old he was or how long he had been in school, although he was sure he had told him at the party, or what kind of habits the other had that were certain to get on his nerves.
Once he was changed he threw his dirty clothes into a foldable hamper he had brought with him and set to work putting the sheets on his bed. He looked up as he heard the faint sound of music, noticing the other had put on headphones. At least he was finally going to leave him alone. And he wouldn't be watching him while he tried to put his sheets on the bed. It was always awkward when no one was helping you. His relief at not being watched was soon discarded as he heard snickering, glaring back at Riku angrily. "Shut up!" he cried, sitting on the middle of his bed with one leg trying to keep the corner from popping up while he tried to put the corner diagonal from it on.
"Do you need some help?" Sora looked over at him suspiciously, slowly starting to nod his head. "For a kiss." He immediately shook his head no, glaring at him. "Too late, you already said yes." Riku grinned, getting up and easily sliding the sheets onto the bed without a problem. Apparently he had done this a lot and this only led Sora to believe he had many reasons to wash his sheets…and he wouldn't want to count the reasons.
"Now, you owe me a kiss." Riku grinned, leaning forward so he was only inches from Sora's face. "I didn't want your help if you were going to name a price! Go away!" he cried, backing off his bed and making sure it was between them. It didn't seem to stop the older, surprised as he climbed on the bed and reached out, arms wrapping around his waist and pulling him against him. He remembered this body, he remembered the way it had danced, how toned and muscular it was, how sexily it's hips could move.
"Let go!" he cried out after he was able to snap himself from his thoughts, pushing against the other. It was obvious the man worked out with as strong as he was, not even able to budge an inch from his gasp. Riku only smirked at the distressed look that passed over the brunette's face before he leaned down, capturing his lips in a firm kiss, one of his hands moving to hold the back of Sora's head so that he couldn't try to pull away.
Sora continued to try to free himself to no avail, eventually starting to bang against the other's chest. But as a tongue slipped into his mouth and began to teasing move through it, his hands unconsciously resorted to holding onto the bare shoulders in front of him, a soft moan escaping him as the other tilted his head for better access.
He gulped, his mind swimming at the moment. No no no no no! This couldn't happen! He wasn't allowed to give in, even when Riku was just proving himself to be a good kiss. He couldn't let himself be swindled by this man, be claimed by him when they hardly even knew each other. But the way he had just ground their hips together made his dissolve waver slightly. Before he knew knew it, he was panting heavily while lips sucked and licked at various parts of his neck, unable to stop the moans escaping from his throat. Especially with the way the silverette started a nice rhythm of grinding their hips together that sent electrifying tingles through his body. When had this started? When did he begin to give in?
At that moment, their door opened, the blue haired male from earlier standing in the doorway. "Riku, I suggest you leave the fresh meat alone." he said, not even seeming to be bothered by the position they were in. "I need the key to the room, the one you still have." he said, indicating that he was talking to Sora. In a flash the brunette was out of Riku's arms, the other's grip having loosened in his surprise.
He grabbed the envelope his key had been given to him in and let it drop out, holding it out to him. "H-Here you go." he stuttered, embarrassed beyond belief that he had almost gone through with something he was trying his best to avoid. 'Thank you' he mouthed to the other male, watching him smirk and give a small nod of acknowledgment before he turned and left. Sora closed the door behind him, sighing to himself before turning a glare on the other. "Don't you dare try something like that again! I do not want to do anything with you! So stop trying to get into my pants!" he cried out, exasperated when the other seemed to be bored with the conversation.
"Yeah, yeah. You'll give in one of these day. It makes me wonder how long you can last before you finally let me show you have good in bed I am." he said with a grin before he went back to his own bed.
"Never. I'm not going to give in. Tomorrow morning I'm going to be looking for a new place to stay, a different dorm room away from you." he hissed.
"I'm sure you won't have any luck finding anything free. Usually when freshmen move in everything is full. It'll be weeks before you can go somewhere else." a confident smirk on the older's features.
He glared, having to keep himself from storming over to his bed. "I'm going to sleep. Good night. And don't try anything or I'll castrate you." he growled before he buried himself in his covers and turned off his lamp. Oddly enough, even with the danger of molestation hanging over his head, he was able to fall asleep in no time, more than happy to forget about today's events.
xXxXxXxXxXx
Laughter filled the dorm room as Sora leaned against Leon, the both of them sitting on his bed. They had been talking for a past hour with no sign of Riku anywhere. Sora had woken up around noon and the silverette had already left the room. He assumed it was to hang out with friends, probably to brag about how much he was able to get on the brunette's nerves in such a small amount of time.
"I can't believe with as much fun as we used to have we ended it. Although…it was probably for the best. I'm pretty sure Cloud would say so ne?" Sora questioned, grinning at his ex boyfriend.
Leon smiled at him and gently ruffled his hair. "Yeah, although I wouldn't mention your questioning thoughts to him. He would probably get suspicious of me even though he has all the reason in the world to trust me." he said, taking an offered cookie from Sora's hand. The smaller brunette had a whole tray of Orea cookies in hand and had been eating them with Leon since he had arrived an hour ago with them. They were his 'welcome to college' gift as Leon liked to call them. He knew Sora would be stuck on the school's meal plan so he wouldn't get to have things like this often unless he got a job.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. You're one of the only trustworthy guys out there AND you guys make the perfect couple. You're just so cute together! I wouldn't be surprised if I heard w-e-d-d-i-n-g bells in the future." he teased with a grin.
"Oh hush up. I honestly don't think I'd be surprised either…we've been dating for two years non stop and haven't had any bad arguments…we can trust each other with anything…and he makes me the happiest guy in the world." Leon's tone had gone soft as he spoke, Sora smiling at him.
"I'm glad you found the person you want to be with, he's lucky to have you. You'll be a senior this year right? So that means once this year is over you'll both be out in the real world and you can seriously start thinking about that." Sora said, munching quietly on another Oreo.
"I know…I've already started saving up for a ring…just in case I really do end up deciding to get married. But first we need to get through college…one more year and I'll finally be out of school for the rest of my life."
Sora stuck his tongue out at him, huffing slightly. "I wish I could say that…but I have four years right now…technically three if I keep up with four classes each quarter." he said, groaning at the thought. He was going to be so busy with school the next few years it wouldn't even be funny. They had a week in between quarters, two weeks of for winter break, and three weeks off for summer break. Their spring break was in between quarters so he couldn't really count it as one.
"You'll get there. And you'll be ecstatic when you do. At least, you will be if I know you."
"You're probably right…I do get kind of hyper when I'm happy." he said with a grin. His grin faded as he heard the lock jiggling no the door, watching it open a minute later. Riku walked in with sunglasses on top of his head, a tight fitting gray shirt and cargo pants, the outfit finished off by black sneakers.
His eyes wandered between the two leaning against each other, raising an eyebrow. Leon glared at him, the glare not seeming to phase Riku at all as he walked in and closed the door behind him, throwing his sunglasses on his bedside table and flopped onto his bed. He shifted so that he was laying on his side, grinning at them. "Well, if it my little sleepyhead." he said with a grin, Sora rolling his eyes and eating another Oreo.
"And you're Leon right?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. A look of surprised flitted across the older's face before he grunted, his way of saying yes.
"How do you know Leon?" Sora asked, confusion lacing his eyebrows together.
"My older brother is one of Cloud's friends. Cloud talks about you a lot and I've seen a few pictures." he said with a grin. "Although I must say I never expected to run into you here." he said, looking between the two. "So I suppose I should be asking as you two know each other."
"Leon was my first boyfriend." Sora said without hesitation. "And I don't see why it's any of your business to know." he huffed, angrily biting into his next cookie. At this rate they would all be gone in one day.
"Oh, I think I have a right to know who's hanging out with my love target." he said, hearing a growl escape Sora's lips.
"Love target?" He snorted. "More like your sex target." he huffed, calming down when Leon ruffled his hair.
"Mm, you haven't given me the chance to ask you out my dear Sora." the silverette replied, grinning at him.
"Oh please, you've had plenty of chances to ask me out but you're always too busy trying to get into my pants to ask!" he grumbled, Leon raising an eyebrow. Sora glanced up at the man and sighed softly. His mood seemed to have gone down immensely when Riku mentioned his older brother.
"Then, I'll ask right now. Wanna go on a date with me?" he replied, flashing that charming smile of his at him. "Just one date and if you don't like me after that, I'll leave you alone. No more molestation or anything." he said, almost laughing at his own words.
Sora looked at him, staring at him for a long time. "No more giving me hickeys to claim me?"
"Nope."
"No more sticking your tongue down my throat?"
"Not unless you want me to."
"No more trying to grind against and make me give in?"
"Oh, so that was really working?"
"Riku."
"Yeah, yeah, no more trying to grind with you. I'll leave you alone. But…if you like me at the end of the date, you have to keep giving me chances to prove I'm worth being your boyfriend."
Sora became alarmed at the word boyfriend, surprised Riku mentioned this. He had assumed since the other was trying to get into his pants so much that he had only wanted a purely sexual relationship. "You do realize that if you were my boyfriend you'd actually have to be sweet right? We'd have to go on a date every two weeks AND you're not allowed to beg for sex. That comes with trust."
Riku looked like he was thinking for a moment before he grinned once more. "Fine fine. I'm cool with that. Then I'll take you out at six." he said, rolling onto his back with a satisfied smirk. "And dress nicely, I'll be taking you to a restaurant."
"Oh, so much surprise in this date." he said sarcastically, Leon smiling slightly at this.
"I see you've resolved your problem on your own. I guess I should leave now. Speaking of dates makes me want to take Cloud out tonight…it's his first free friday in a while." he said as he slowly climbed off the bed.
"Alright, call me tomorrow. You know I just love hearing about how your dates go." he said with a grin as he climbed off the bed as well and walked him to the door. Leon nodded his head lightly be before he hugged Sora and left. Sora smiled when he thought about the fact that he was one of the only people Leon was affectionate with. Only he and Cloud were exceptions to Leon's 'stay arms length away from everyone' rule. He was surprised Cloud hadn't made Sora leave that bubble yet.
He soon sighed and started to go through his clothes, his more formal clothes in the bottom drawer. He pulled them out and began to search for something that would be good for a date. Even though he was very hesitant and not all that excited about this date, he still wanted to look nice. Although he wasn't sure how this whole dating his roommate thing would work out. After all, if Sora did let Riku be his boyfriend, what would happen if they broke up? It would be too awkward for words.
