Sora x Riku!

.

Riku kneeled down in one knee, smiling happily as he said, "Will you marry me?" to the young beautiful women in front of him, Namine. Gasping was heard in the background as many bystanders passed by, some applauded with genuine happiness for the newly soon to be married couple.

"Oh, Riku! Yes! Yes! I will!" She exclaimed joyfully as she hugged Riku. Riku had taken Namine to there favorite restaurant where they first dated, and the place where Riku wanted to propose. Riku and Namine have been together for two years now, both being near there mid twenties, so Riku thought it was time to settle down and start there life together.

As Riku was about to speak he heard someone calling them. "Riku, Namine, congratulations! Now I can dress nicely for the wedding!" A spikey haired brunette chuckled. Riku beamed, "Sora! Glad you can make it, I was hoping you wouldn't miss my proposal. Now, Sora would you be my best man?!"

Sora was speechless for a moment then he made a wide smile. "I would be honored Riku."

Namine hearing that, she slightly frowned. "Riku, let's go tell my parents about this so we can start planning the wedding." She said cheerfully, ignoring her inner issue.

Riku nodded, "Sora I'll tell you the rest later." Sora waved at them as the newly married couple left in hand to hand.

Sora was Riku's best friend for a long time, since childhood even. Both have been close and hardly ever separated, growing up together was something that they both cherished. While Riku was straight Sora wasn't, Sora was gay. He had admitted before that he liked Riku more than a best friend should, but sadly, Riku couldn't return his feelings. Although, that didn't ruin there friendship and still remained close to each other, which was slightly painful for Sora.

Sora sighed, "I can't believe I'm the best men. Wow.." But regardless he was happy for Riku.

Riku was chatting nonstop about how the wedding was going to be amazing, and everything Namine could ever hoped for. Namine on the other hand wasn't listening, in the inside she was angry that Riku offered Sora to be the best men.

"Riku, we need to talk." She demanded, suddenly breaking her usual soft tone as she was being dead serious. Riku was taken aback by Namine's tone, he stopped walking and looked at her.

"What is it?" He questioned.

"Riku... I love you," Namine stated as she gaze at her future husband. "And I want nothing to get in between us."

Riku scowled. It was like Namine didn't trust him, "Where are you going with this Namine?" He replied as he fold his arms, glaring at her.

Namine took a deep breath. "I don't want you to see Sora anymore." Was all she said simply.

"What why?!" Riku fumed, backing a step away. Why would she even say such a thing?

"Riku I'm not stupid, I see the way Sora looks at you. How he's happy when you're near him, or when you guys are always together. He's in love with you Riku! And I don't want my future husband to be with someone who's in love with you." Namine explained to make a point.

"But there's nothing between us! I don't have feelings for Sora, and he doesn't have any for me! Where do you get these accusations?!" Riku growled, everything was going perfect but Namine was insisting on ruining the moment.

Namine had noticed the way Sora would secretly look at Riku, or get every chance he can get to hang out with him. But most of all, it was when she saw Sora kissed Riku when he fell asleep on the couch, that happen almost a year ago. Namine happened to see that and that's something that she couldn't forget about.

"I'm scared of losing you Riku... to Sora. You may be straight but I'm scared that Sora will take you away from me! I don't want to risk it if something happens." She shouted, her eyes getting watery.

Riku couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Do you hear yourself?! I don't love Sora, I love you! Why don't you trust me?" Riku inquired as he clenched his fists.

Namine sighed, "Please... Don't let Sora be in our wedding. I don't want to lose you..." She sobbed as tears finally escaped, she couldn't hold it any longer.

Riku's eyes downcast, feeling guilty and ashamed for making Namine cry. Even though he didn't do anything wrong, he was just defending himself and Sora.

"Okay... I'll tell Sora not to come to the wedding." He replied, hurt.

Sora was at his apartment cleaning, he didn't have to work that day. Being a game designer was a job that Sora love for two reasons: one, he can play games nonstop; and two, he didn't have to work as much. Life was good for Sora.

A knock on the door stopped Sora from cleaning and happily opened the door. He smiled when he saw that it was Riku! "Hey Riku! What brings you hear? I would have thought you and Namine would be in stores shopping." Sora laughed.

"Yeah... Listen I need to talk to you, Sora." Riku asked straight forward, not wanting to make the conversation longer than it should be.

Sora frowned, yet nodded. "Sure, come in. What do you want to talk about?" He led Riku inside as they both sat down on the couch.

"Umm... about the wedding-" Riku was cut off.

"Oh! That reminds me," Sora went into his room quickly and came back with a tuxedo in a hanger. "I bought this today! Isn't nice?! You're only a best men once, after all." Sora chuckled.

Riku gulped, he had to say it now. "Sora, I don't want you in the wedding." He stated, his voice full of betrayal and sadness.

"What?" Sora's eyes widened as he lowered the tuxedo to stare at Riku, shocked.

"I don't want you to come in the wedding..." Riku repeated, his throat suddenly dry.

"Why?! What did I do wrong? You told me earlier that I was the best men... So why are you telling me this?" Sora cried, he was hurt that he was getting disinvited to the wedding. Sora trembled, his limbs suddenly getting numbed, he had the urge to cry. Why was Riku doing this to him?

"It's not me. Namine was the one that doesn't want you there." Riku explained.

Sora scowled, "And you agreed with this? Instead of defending me you just agreed that I'm not allowed into your wedding!" Sora shouted in anger.

"She's my future wife! You're my best friend! What was I suppose to do? I love Namine and want her in my life. Not you!" Riku accidently let the last part spilled out without realizing. All the shouting that he was doing wasn't helping either.

Sora gasped, "Well, now I know that our friendship doesn't mean jack!"

Riku gritted his teeth, why can't Sora understand what he wanted. "Why are you getting so worked up!? It's just a stupid wedding, you have no reason to go anway!"

Hearing that made Sora tear up, "You asshole! I just wanted to be happy for you, Riku. Which is so damn hard since I'm in love with you! The only thing that matters to me is your happiness..." Sora's shouting decrease as he whispered the last part, audibly.

Riku gaped at hearing the truth, he was surprise that Sora still loved him after many years. Namine was right, Riku was wrong... He wasn't angry at Sora, he just felt sympathy.

"Sora I-"

"Save it, please. I don't want to hear the rejection. Just leave, have fun on your wedding." Sora didn't want to hear another rejection, he had heard the first one when they were teenagers. Right now Sora just wanted to be alone.

Riku felt horrible, he remembered the first time Sora confessed to him. Riku was surprised, but he still thought Sora as someone special that no one would ever take his place. Now hearing it again, it felt different. His heart suddenly ache with pain, he wanted to take everything back but it was too late.

"Okay, I'll leave. I'm sorry, Sora." Riku apologize as he walked toward the door, talking one last look at Sora before leaving.

Sora didn't look as Riku left, he couldn't without trying to stop him and begging him to stay. Sora collapsed on his knees in defeat, finally breaking down in tears.
