Traveling the worlds does nothing for you in school. How should I know what a hyperbole is? I'm gone for a year and they expect me to know this crap? Slamming my locker with an annoyed sigh I begin walking to my next class, kendo. At least Sora is there too.
Entering the room I'm immediately glomped by a ball of energy I call Sora. I barely avoid falling to the ground by bracing against the wall. I'm used to Sora being a bit energetic, but he's unusually hyper right now.
"What's wrong with you?" I ask cocking one brow.
"HiRikuhowareyou? Nothing'swrongwhatmakesyouthinkanyth ingswrong?" Sora spoke so fast I hardly understood a word.
I merely stared him down. I have a feeling he's on a sugar high, but who in all the worlds would dare give Sora sugar? Sora's eyes darting every direction possible, which meant he was close to cracking.
"Tidusmayhavepossiblygivenmec andy…" Sora admitted while still refusing to meet my eyes. Of all people Tidus should have known better, he did cause Sora's first sugar high…shiver. I don't even want to remember that day. I hope that this class will wear him down, especially since I'm his partner.
Fifty-five minutes later and Sora's finally worn out. I can't even put into words how crazy fast he is on a sugar high. Maybe this will give you an idea; he almost-key word almost- beat me. He lost when he tripped over his own foot. Unfortunately, we have lunch now, which means junk food. I don't eat lunch and normally I follow Sora through the line, but Kairi is already at our table and is signaling for me to go over.
"I'll be at the table, Kairi needs me." I tell Sora before walking off. Honestly, Kairi has been a bit annoying lately. I know she likes Sora, but she doesn't need to throw herself at him, especially since it's obvious he like her.
Sitting at the table, I notice an odd look in Kairi's eyes. "What's up?" I ask curiously.
"I know you like Sora." Kairi states bluntly. My face heats up slightly at this. She's right, but how did she find out? "Girls notice small things guys never think about." Kairi states as if reading my mind. I would have told her I liked him a while ago if she didn't like him. I probably would have told him too if he didn't like her. I almost did after we fought Xemnas, but Kairi's message-in-a-bottle…
"I know you know I like him and I wish I could be with him, but it's obvious he doesn't like me that way." Kairi admits sadly just before Sora reaches the table.
"Sora…" Kairi calls lowly, but with an underlining tone that only Sora understood.
Sora's eyes grow wide as he says, stunned; "You didn't." Kairi nods in response before standing and walking off.
"I told her I wasn't ready…" Sora mumbles, his head dropping.
"What are you talking about?" I ask in confusion.
"Meet me outback after school." Sora says lowly and nervously just as the bell rings. Before I have time to reply Sora is up and off to his next class. Kairi and he must have planned this out, why else would this happen at the last point in the day I see either of them?
Trudging down the hall towards my next class a million thought race through my mind. If Sora does not like Kairi like I though then who does he like? As much as I wish it were me, I know it can't be because Sora's straight…right. Maybe he's not, but still the odds of him falling for me are low.
After four excruciatingly long hours, I'm making my way through the crowd to the back of the school. Ten minutes later I'm find Sora, who's literally trembling.
"Sora?" I call gently. Sora looks up from the ground with a mix of fear and nervousness in his sapphire eyes.
"Riku…I…I…" Sora stutters, but never continues. Instead, he throws himself against me, pressing his lips to mine. In my utter state of shock, I do the stupidest thing in the worlds; I pull back and run. All coherent thoughts were lost, until I reached the dock. Sitting on the edge, head in hands, I let myself cry for once.
I like him so why did I run? He probably thinks I hate him. I should go back, but I doubt he would talk to me. Why didn't I just confess? My dream actually came true and I fuck it up. I could just throw myself off this dock, but that would only be running from my problems.
'Wouldn't that be better than dealing with the pain?' Asks the annoying voice I hate hearing.
"Shut up! What would you know?" I shout angrily.
"I can feel your pain caused by losing your light. You know he won't forgive you."Xehanort says tauntingly. Hoping to prove him wrong I jump up and run towards Sora's house. Half-way there I'm stopped by Kairi.
"Kairi, I have to talk to Sora." I say hurriedly.
"He's in the hospital." Kairi shouts, crashing my train of thought.
"What?" I ask practically brain-dead.
"I'll explain on the way." Kairi states while pulling me along. "When you ran off he took that as you hated him. I tried telling him that you did like him, but he wouldn't listen." Kairi panted as we ran towards the hospital. Great, so he does think I hate him.
"He said he was going home to think about it. I secretly followed him, just to make sure he didn't do anything stupid. He starting walking into the street right as a car came. I yelled at him, I know he heard me, but he must have been suicidal because he just stood there and let himself be hit." Kairi finished as we reached the hospital. Not only did I hurt him, but I made him suicidal and to think it could have all been avoided if I hadn't run. Instead of him lying, unconscious on a hospital bed with multiple wires hooked to him we could have been cuddled together on the couch.
"Any idea when he'll wake up?" I ask out of curiosity. Kairi looks to the ground, a pained expression on her face.
"He's… in a coma." Kairi replies so low I strain to hear her. Her words echo in my head. Although nothing changed about Sora I can't look at him the same now. The thought of him possibly never waking up makes me want to throw my self in front of a car. "I hate to leave you, but I have to get home." Kairi almost sobs. I nod as I sign I heard her and she leaves without another word.
What am I going to do if Sora doesn't wake up? I know I'll want to kill myself, but I'm sure he would hate me if I did. "I'm sorry, Sora." I sob, knowing he can't hear me, but hoping.
"Sir, unless you're family, you'll have to leave." A nurse kindly informs me.
"I'm his boyfriend." I reply unthinkingly. If wakes up and forgives me then I might be.
"Alright, but don't stay too long. I'm sure you want to be awake when he wakes up." The nurse says with a caring tone before walking out.
Sora, please wake up soon.
As you can tell, this was uploaded in '09, I was 15 then. My writing has gotten a lot better, as will/can be seen in chapter two. I'm actually thinking about rewriting this chapter. I'd like opinions on whether I should.
