I.
Sora sighed as he laid on the edge of his twin size bed, looking around his room. The day had been uneventful and he was rather bored at the moment. Looking at the room, it made him feel like he was still a kid, strangely in a bad way. But, that was partly due to the fact that he hadn't redone it since. His blue eyes were dark, as was the atmosphere outside his closed window. That usually happened, his eyes would often change with the type of weather they had. When the sun was out, his blue eyes were glittery and sparkling looking very much the bright blue sky; When it was rainy and cloudy, his eyes would darken to the point of turning black.
His eyes began to wonder around his small room, staring at the posters that covered his red race car colored walls. They were of dinosaurs and dragons, things that he uses to like when he was seven or eight. Now he was sixteen and he still hadn't taken them down. Maybe he was lazy, or maybe it was because secretly- he still enjoyed the viewing of them. He wondered what he could do at this moment, it's not like there was anything there. He lived on a small island out in the middle of the ocean. There was a city about a half hour away but he didn't have any money, even for the boat ride over there.
"Sora!" His mother's voice startled him. "Someone is here to see you..." That scared him even more to the point he roll over and fell off the bed. He hadn't been expecting someone to see him. He looked horrible! His face landed on the hard wooden floor.
"Sora, you sure are clumsy," That voice sent shivers up Sora's spine. He slowly pulled himself up and dusted himself off, his brown bangs falling in his face. Looking over, his face was red both from the flush of his cheeks and from the fall. He was standing in front of him and laughing some. He was seventeen years old, a year older than Sora, and about five inches taller than the boy, being almost six foot. He was very muscular with strong cheek bones, a beautiful smile with straight white teeth that when smiling showed his dimples. His hair was long and spiky, silver and his eyes were dark blue.
His name was Riku.
"Are you ready?" The silver haired male asked Sora, he raised his eyebrow, sort of in question. By the look on his face- Riku already knew the answer. How could Sora be so clumsy and forget? "The trip?" Then all of a sudden Sora's eyes widened.
"Oh crap!" He cried and began to run around his room, looking for things. His shoes. His wallet. His backpack filled with extra clothes among other things. The trip. The three of them had been planning this for a month. The three of them were him, Riku, and their other best friend Kairi that moved to the island when she was six. They had been planning and preparing to go to the city, have dinner, and because the boat rides stopped at seven- Riku was old enough that he got two hotel rooms not far away from the docking station. Once getting all his stuff, he stood in front of the male and gave a nod. "Ready!" He said happily. He could not believe that he forgot that the trip was today… it wasn't that he forgot, more so that he had just forgot the day.
They headed downstairs, sounding more like a heard of stampede than two teen boys. "Bye mom!" Sora called and just he grabbed the doorknob, his mother appeared from the kitchen. Sora's physical features were inherited from her. The tall lean woman's long brown hair fell over her blue eyes as she stared at her only son.
"Where are you going?" She asked and suddenly Sora's eyes widened. Had he not told her? Well, if he forgot himself, than how could he tell her? He thought on his toes, and spoke regularly, hoping that she didn't hear thee small crackles in his voice.
"I'm going to spend the night with Riku," They had been doing this for years; even at the age they were now. It was strange that his mother let him with her religious beliefs. Ever since Sora could remember, every Sunday would go to church and learn about the sins and Jesus. Even back then, when they taught that loving and being with someone of the same gender was evil and a sin, Sora knew he loved Riku. Riku and Sora would often hold hands and hug- and sometimes kiss on the cheeks. The excuse that his mother would use was 'they'll grow out of it, they're only kids.' Well, she was partly true. When they were six, when Kairi came into the picture Riku would stop holding hands with Sora and rarely hugged him.
Sora's feelings didn't decrease.
Sora's mother gave a gentle nod and went back to the kitchen. "Just be home by dinner tomorrow." And out they were. They walked down the street some and Sora, as many times before, noticed just how Riku's hips swayed as he walked and how his tight pants made his ass- He shook his head of the 'evil' thoughts.
"So where are we meeting Kairi?" Sora finally asked, sort of breaking the silence that had erupted between the two. It was hard to talk for the both of them. Sora was too nervous most of the time that he would say something wrong. His brown bangs fell in front of his face as he stared at the male in front of him. Riku turned to him and before answering, ran his fingers across Sora's forehead- moving the hair away from his eyes and tucked them behind his ears. This, in the end, the touch made shivers roll down Sora's spine and his face flush brightly.
"Her house." Riku answered and headed up the block she lived on. It didn't take that long for the boys to get to Kairi's small apartment that her and her mother lived in. Kairi came out, and called to her mother that she wouldn't be back until late tomorrow night. As if her mother actually cared. Her mother had gotten pregnant with Kairi when she was only sixteen and dropped out of high school because of it. Not really carrying about Kairi, she basically let the girl do whatever she wanted: not really carrying where she was or what she was doing.
Kairi came up, holding a small purse in her arms and looked from Sora to Riku. Kairi was about the same height as Sora with long straight red hair that she was glad she inherited from her dead-beat-dad. Strange to think that she was happier with her father that would just send child support so her mother could buy her coke than her mother. Her eyes were, like the other two boys, blue. "Ready?" She asked cheerful.
--
The boat ride was twenty dollars and, for most that would not have cost that much but because Kairi and Sora didn't have any jobs: they had to scramble to get it. Kairi stole some of her mother's coke money and Sora saved his allowance to pay for their half of the tickets. Riku, on the other hand was different. Riku, only seventeen, had moved out of his abusive mother's house and into an apartment- being the manager of a top retail business.
Sora often teased him. Getting the big bucks and all.
The three of them had gotten there, almost all of the chairs filled up so pilling up in the back, sat in the only three chairs available that sat together. As the boat took off, Sora smiled looking out upon the ocean. "It's so beautiful…" He muttered to himself.
Riku blinked and leaned over, putting his hand out- feeling the warmth of the water beneath them. As he did this, Sora's breath decreased; barely breathing at all and his face flushed. He could feel the warmth emitting off the boy. "We should go swimming when we get back," Riku said and splashed some of the water onto Sora.
Sora laughed a bit and winced slightly, closing one eye so he didn't get wet. That is when Kairi stepped in. Sora had thought that she was feeling left out and just wanted attention, until she asked the question. Her voice was shaky and her lip was quivering.
"…Riku-"She stopped for a moment and took a breath.
"Will you go out with me?"
