Cerra - A.N: We do not own Kingdom hearts! That and I'm sorry for any grammar and spelling a punctuation mistakes that can be found... cause someone doesn't know how to write... glares at Kit-Kat Anyways, please enjoy the fic!
P.S. bold text is Sora (which is obvious) and normal text is Riku.
This whole fic is in the form of text messaging on msn... cause that's how it was created.
† Cerra † says:
Sora was walking around the 3rd district of Traverse town. He stood in the middle of the square and looked around.
"Sora..." something whispered his name. He turned around and saw a mirage of Riku fading away.
"Riku! Wait!" He said as he ran towards the fading Riku. He reached out towards him but he vanished before he could touch him. 'Way to go Sora... your going bonkers... you're answering back to your imagination.' Sora sighed and shook his head. "I gotta stop doing that... someone's going to think I'm insane..."
Sora ran his fingers through his unruly hair and took in a deep breath.
"Better head back to the inn before Donald and Goofy worry too much..." he told himself as he began to walk towards the 2nd district.
He walked over towards the Inn and checked in. He opened the door to the green room and flopped down on the bed. Sora flung his arm on his forehead and closed his eyes. He was exhausted. From school to work and now to this. Sora looked at the clock and it read 11:17 pm. No doubt that Donald and Goofy were already in their rooms and fast asleep.
Kit-Kat says:
A blindfolded figure stood before a large mirror, but rather then a reflection the mirror viewed a small figure on a bed with his arm draped over his eyes. "Sora..." he breathed touching the mirrors cold surface.
"What are you doing" another man with similar cloths walked into the room.
"I want to see him again..."
"See?" the other man scoffed at this remark but the other remained unfazed, concentrating on the small sound being admitted from the mirror.
"You can't... its not yet time-"
"Don't u think I know that!" he snapped, frustrated both from being caught using the mirror for what might be considered personal use and from not being able to confront his former friend.
† Cerra † says:
Sora got up and stretched as he walked towards the bathroom. "Better take a shower now before we go out tomorrow..." Sora told himself. He knew that if he took one tomorrow morning, Donald would be pissed. Sora opened the door and walked in the bathroom adorned with fish and other sea creatures painted on the walls and on the shower curtain.
He leaned to the bathroom mirror and gazed at the azure eyes starring back at him. Realizing once again he sighed. "God I look like my mother..."
He looked deeper into his eyes and saw a small spark of light. That single spark of hope soon vanished as a wave of fear and sadness struck over him. "Get a hold of yourself Sora." He could feel as if someone was watching him, but he tried to ignore the feeling. He knew there wasn't any possible way that anybody could be spying on him. There weren't any windows or anything.
Sora took off his accessories and took off his shirt. He stared at the scar in the middle of his chest where his heart was. It was slowly healing, you could barely notice it. But to Sora, it was as visible as every other feature on his body.
He noticed as well that he was loosing weight.
'I told you to eat more often Sora... it's not healthy to be wasting away...' Tidus' voice rang through his head. Ever since Sora came back to destiny islands, everyone had paired off. Tidus was with Wakka and Kairi and Selphie got closer as best friends. Sora thought it was good for Kairi to spend more time with Selphie. Having fun talking about girl things than hanging out with an empty Sora. Wakka and Tidus paid more attention to him though. Tidus was the one always taking care of him while Sora was "out of commission". Sora lightly chuckled to himself as the many memories of Tidus nagging at him. He acted more like a mother to him than his own mother, April did.
He knew that was only because his mom was too busy with trying to keep away from his dad after they heard that he was back in town. So she got another job to stay away from the House.
He turned the water on and checked the temperature. "Brr..." he said as he turned it to hot. Stripping himself of the rest of his clothing Sora got in the shower and let the water hit his face. It felt so good to have a nice warm shower. It was funny how water gave you a sense of security, yet can also be fearful. Sora's muscles relaxed and the steam began to fog the room. He was finally able to be at peace and let the water wash away all his thoughts.
† Cerra † says:
(holy crap I had a lot to write)
Kit-Kat says:
(nodz lol don't stop now ur on a roll)
† Cerra † says:
(cheers... but now its ur turns)
Kit-Kat says:
(rollz eyez)
Kit-Kat says:
"He looks hurt... maybe u should go to him..." the second figure stood in front of the mirror.
"I'm not deaf you pervert, I know very well that he's in the shower right now and besides... You know I can't do that."
"Didn't stop you from trying in hollow." he froze. He got him. He was the only one who knew he had went there hoping desperately to catch Sora though he told the others he was investigating, the blonde knew otherwise. Silence passed the room for a few moments before the blonde again spoke. "I won't tell... if you go to him."
"If I go to him now it will jeopardize the mission... I can't risk that."
"Yea but if he slits his wrists over you that will also, jeopardize the mission." he countered. The blindfolded unknown cringed at the thought.
"He's... stronger then that..."
"Or maybe you're just giving him too much credit." Silence again passed through the room. It was like the roles were reversed, it had always been others that had defended Sora in such a way as to say he was stronger. He was just starting to realize how much he brought Sora down all the time. Never giving him credit for anything. With the thick silence the blonde began to leave the room; with one look back he shook his head and left.
Kit-Kat ill believe in all your lies, just pretend and close your eyes, savoring the sweet surprise, to never wake again says:
(whoosh lol)
† Cerra † says:
(lol)
† Cerra † says:
Sora got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. Pulling back the curtains he stepped onto the mat and looked for another towel. Spotting one, he threw it over his head and began to dry his hair savagely. Rubbing and scratching at his head and entangling it even more. He turned on the bathroom fan as the steam began to fade away from the bathroom mirror.
"Damn that felt good..." he smiled, feeling refreshed and relaxed. He dried himself off and put on his other boxers. Taking his clothes he walked out of the bathroom and chucked his clothes on one of the chairs. He flopped down on the small bed and hugged the pillow.
He turned on his back and starred into the ceiling with a grin. It felt like old times. Staying at the in and waiting for tomorrow to come. Going on an adventure to find his dearest friend. His dearest Riku. "Mmm... Riku... I'll find you again. And maybe... this time... we won't be separated." he told himself, thinking is Riku actually was listening to him.
Sora sighed happily. This time... he wouldn't pass up the chance to tell Riku what he wanted to say before. Even if his feelings were unrequited... he still had to tell Riku. That is... when he found him.
Sora had a sudden rush on energy. His dreams of finding Riku were so close to reality. He could feel it. Sora giggled and slowly began to laugh. He was so excited. He anticipated tomorrow with great joy.
Kit-Kat says:
He heard every word. Sora's words hit him, and they hit him hard. What kept him in the room and not running to Sora he would never know? He was stuck, and frustrated. Everything everyone had worked so hard for, he couldn't risk it for one stupid night, could he? Running his hand through his hair he faced up. 'What can I do?' Riku thought.
† Cerra † says:
Sora rolled over and hugged the pillow again. His eyes began to droop and eventually closed. It didn't take long for him to fall into a deep sleep.
Kit-Kat says:
He couldn't take it anymore. Finally surrendering he headed for traverse town. A minute, just one simple moment to contact the little brunette. He didn't even have to know about it, no one did. He could be in and out of there before anyone knew he was gone. He tried to assure himself, nervousness taking a told.
Upon reaching the inn he quietly hid himself among the shadows and snuck inside silently nearing Sora's room. He stopped as a small figure wandered by him. The duck gurgled some water while entering his room. With a slight sigh of relief, Riku continued his way down the hall.
† Cerra † says:
There lay Sora peacefully sleeping with a smile on his face. He was stretched out and holding onto the pillow still. His bare chest was rising and falling in a rhythm tic pattern.
Kit-Kat says:
Making sure not to disturb anything he opened the door inch by inch. Breath held still upon entering the darkened room. The only light omitted was through the window framing the figure on the bed in a light glow. Stepping forward until he was at the bedside he simply stood. At first nothing; no words, no thoughts came upon his arrival... just nothing. He had planned everything so perfectly up to this part. Now what? Leaning forward the only sound was Sora's clam breathing. Placing a hand on either side of Sora's shoulders he leaned in even closer catching his sent. "How long has it been?" he whispered to himself not realizing he spoke out loud.
† Cerra † says:
"Riku..." Sora mumbled in his sleep as he seemed to move closer towards him.
It made it very apparent to Riku that Sora was having a dream... about him.
Kit-Kat says:
Blushing slightly his smile quickly turned into a smirk. If there was anything he had learned from past sleep-overs was that you could easily get him to spill his guts while he talked in his sleep "Sora..." he whispered into the youth's ear
† Cerra † says:
"Don't... leave me...riku..."
Kit-Kat says:
Frowning at this remark memories of what happened before quickly pooled into riku mind. "I'll never leave you."
† Cerra † says:
"Stay with me... forever... please..." he mumbled softly. The smile on Sora face relaxed as Sora continued to sleep.
Kit-Kat says:
Riku had forgotten about the others... the mission everything. He couldn't stay and for that his heart dropped again... "I... I can't." hurt evident in his voice, he began to pull away.
† Cerra † says:
As if he was really awake Sora reached out towards Riku. He took hold of Riku's clothing and held on. "Riku..." he pleaded, "... I... need you..." a tear began to form around his thick eyelashes. "Don't let go... don't fade away again... Riku." he pleaded more His voice becoming more panicked. Sora's dream was becoming a nightmare.
Kit-Kat says:
What had he gotten himself into? A moment had turned to several and he was only hurting Sora again. He had to get out now. He pulled away slightly but it was evident that Sora was not going to let go. "We'll meet again..." he spoke, figuring Sora was reliving that horrible departure.
† Cerra † says:
Sora took a hold onto Riku's clothing tighter. His eyes seemed to flutter as if he was waking up from his horrible nightmare. But instead of realizing that he was holding on Riku, he broke out crying and sobbing..
He let go Riku to burry his head into the pillow. The nightly routine that he ever so loathed. His sobs became muffled as he shoved his face into the pillow. Riku couldn't make out what he was trying to say through sobs and the pillow, but it was quiet obvious that he was trying to say something.
Kit-Kat says:
Stuck once again; he wanted to run. He had to, to get as far away from here as possible. But... the shaky figure on the bed told his heart to fight with his head. Without thinking he sat on the bed and pulled Sora into his arms. Everything seemed too surreal, like he wasn't even in control of his own actions again. Parting his lips he began to sing. Words flowing as if he had sung them a million times before. "Please don't go, no matter how much you scream, it will only serve to stir the dust in my heart. Long forgotten memories sent far away, an eternal Farwell that promises a return."
† Cerra † says:
Sora's sobbing settled down as he held onto the older boy cradled in his arms. He held onto Riku and leaned his head on his chest.
'Sora... look up you fool... at last... your not alone... we're not alone anymore...' he thought. He looked up at the platinum haired boy and eyes widened in shock.
"Ri-riku...? Is that... really you?" Sora touched the side of Riku's face with his warm hands.
Kit-Kat says:
Shock over swept his entire body. Why did he stay? Again the urge to run ran through him accompanied by adrenalin. Hoping Sora was still half asleep he pulled back part of his blindfold that had come to rest on Sora's shoulder. "Go back to sleep" he whispered silently pleading the boy to listen.
† Cerra † says:
"I don't want to be dreaming..." he told riku. Indeed Sora was still half asleep. It always took him about an hour to actually wake up. But Sora only held onto Riku tighter. He nuzzled against Riku's neck and closed his eyes.
Kit-Kat says:
Heart racing and adrenalin still in high gear his breathing had sped up a bit but he desperately tried to keep himself in check. He decided he would try on more time to reason before he would have to make a run for it. "Sora... I have to go..."
† Cerra † says:
"Stay... just a little bit longer... please?" he asked. He sat up to look at Riku. His eyes still half open, half closed, but they shone like the sky. His tears were like little diamonds among his eyelashes, falling to the ground every time he blinked. Sora's eyes showed so much emotion. It was hard for Riku to read his soul like an open book.
Kit-Kat says:
He was lost. He couldn't stay but he didn't want to leave. Sitting for a few moments and overwhelming feeling took over pushing him over the edge. The want to stay was quickly overcome by fear. They knew, he could feel eyes upon him and he was right. He had to get out before his intentions were discovered! Throwing Sora off of him and leaping off the bed he ran. Mind clouded he could have easily used his powers to vanish and return but that thought had never even crossed his mind. The only logical thing his body would let his do was run. Not even bothering to hide he burst out into the hall and continued onward.
Kit-Kat ill believe in all your lies, just pretend and close your eyes, savoring the sweet surprise, to never wake again says:
(bwhahaha ruined the moment)
† Cerra † says:
(lol good job dumbass)
† Cerra † says:
Sora was dumped on the ground before he even got an answer. Watching Riku run out of the room and into the hallway. Sora got up and chased after him, but halfway down the hallway he stopped to stare. He was hurt, and hurt badly. "Why...?" he said softly. He leaned on one of the walls and watched Riku run. It felt as if his heart was stabbed over and over again, each time Riku took a step. He turned away, his back facing riku as he slowly began to walk back towards his room. Standing at the doorway, he looked back over at Riku. Once again, out of reach.
Kit-Kat says:
Once out of the building he dodged into a dark ally leaning up against the wall he slowly and slid downward. Placing his palms onto his eyes he took a deep breath inward and tried to relax himself. Shivering slightly from the loss of contact and the cool night air he wrapped his arms around himself.
"How did things get so bad?" he thought to himself as memories of the island flowed clearly into his head. Back then he would have done anything to get off that god forsaken island, anything to get away but now... now all he wanted was to be back. Sitting on his tree waiting for Sora to be stubborn and challenge him to a fight.
† Cerra † says:
Sora just walked back to the bed and flopped down.
Kit-Kat says:
Back then, before he became victim to the darkness. No, that wasn't fair. It was his own fault. His own greed that had put his friend through so much...
† Cerra † says:
Sora hugged his pillow; the scent of Riku was still in the room. "He really was here... my riku..." he told himself and softly smiled. "I wasn't dreaming this time..."
Kit-Kat says:
Breathing slightly calmed he removed his tear soaked blindfold and tossed it to the ground. He had to go back, and if his intuition was correct there was a world full of pain heading his way. With that thought in mind he left.
† Cerra † says:
Sora fell asleep instantly. Finally... he was able to get a good night's rest...
- The next day –
Kit-Kat says:
Morning had seemed so far away. Just as he thought upon his arrival back 'home' the others were waiting. Curses and yelling was heard but he paid no mind. Even after a solid fist contacted hard against the side of his jaw even after the others lashed out at him even after he was whipped and locked inside his room. He just lay numb to it all lost in a world of self-pity.
† Cerra † says:
Sora woke up and stretched, remembering the happenings of last night. He smiled as he got up and got dressed.
'Just a couple more steps away riku... we'll be together again... soon... I promise...' he told himself in his mind. After getting dressed he walked over to Donald's room and then goofy's. As soon as they met up with Leon, Cid, Yuffie, and Aerith, they ate and left traverse town.
Donald: "So Sora... where to next?"
Sora: "I don't know... lets... lets just go. Find new worlds." he energetically.
Goofy: "Umm... Sora?"
Sora: "Yea?" he piped.
Goofy: "Are you... sure?"
Sora: "Of course!" He said cheerily.
Donald: "Sora... you're messed up." He said as he drove the gummy out towards a new path.
Sora: "Huh? What are you talking about? You should speak for yourself!" Sora barked. Goofy just sighed and put his hands on Sora's shoulders.
Goofy: "Good to have you back Sora!"
Sora and Donald argued the whole way to another world. Goofy was the one to point out where they were heading. The place was a town similar to traverse town. They all looked at the computer screen and then looked at each other.
Sora: "Twilight town?" they landed in the busy town and looked around. Fascinated by the bells and the shining stores. Everything seems so... cheery. They went about to find and in and sure enough found one.
Kit-Kat says:
Riku sighed finally allowed to leave his room but monitored closely he walked outside.
† Cerra † says:
Donald rang the bell and an old man came to the desk. "What can I do fer ya?"
Sora: "We'd like to rent 3 rooms please."
Man: "Sure thing kiddo. Just fill this out and pay." Sora took the sheet and signed it with the amount of days.
Sora: "I think we should at least stay 3 nights."
Donald: "...I don't know..."
Sora: "Aw come on Donald! We can spend more time exploring."
Goofy: "And finding the k-"
Donald: "Shut up... we'll stay for 3 nights... fine..." he squawked as he crossed his arms. Sora paid the elderly man and they left. "Well... I'm going to see where the item shop is." He said as he began to walk off.
Goofy: "I'll go and get some supplies for our ship."
Sora: 'And I'll go and find the keyhole." he said. Agreed, they all split up and explored the city.
Sora skipped down the alleyways and the streets and chatted with a few of the commoners, asking them different questions about the city. He tried to get as much clues as he can possible about the keyhole, without giving anything away.
Kit-Kat says:
Standing high upon the clock tower Riku looked downward to the people below. This place, it was calming to him and he didn't know why but he sat there anyways trying his best to ignore the red gash on his back and the purple/black spot forming on his jaw. A hand wrapped around his arm and pulled upward quickly lifting him to his feel. Hearing the laugh and he flinched slightly from the pain angrily he snapped out.
"Axel what the hell!" he questioned the red head.
"Diz wants you back." tearing his arm away riku spit words like poison.
"If he wants me then he can come get me his fucking self, not send his lapdogs..."
† Cerra † says:
Sora on the other hand broke out into a run with adrenaline pulsing through his veins. The adventure. The suspense. The feeling he had so many years ago... was back. As he ran he looked at the side and saw a group of kids.
"Holy crap..." he said in astonishment, but he continued running. The small group that he just passed my reminded him of everyone back on destiny island. There was something about this town that pulled some many familiar strings, but he had things to do. Out of nowhere he turned a Corner and crashed into Goofy and Donald. The all fell and looked at each other.
Donald: "what the hell are you doing!" he roared.
Sora: "Donald? Goofy?"
Goofy: "Sora!"
Goofy glomped Sora and he fell backwards.
Sora: "Take it easy guys!" he said laughing.
Donald: "So did you find any clues to where the keyhole is?"
Sora: "My bet is the bell tower. Now come on! We don't have all day. Let's seal this place up before we see any heartless."
† Cerra † says:
... And I gotta go now
