A Light to the Never Ending Darkness
CHAPTER 1
**DISCLAIMER: If I owned Kingdom Hearts, I wouldn't be here. I'd be with Riku on Destiny Islands.**
A/N: This story will be written in both the point of views of Riku and Sora. We will be switching off between the two with every passing chapter. If there is any confusion, go ahead and ask. J
The waves relaxed me as I sat next to Sora. I couldn't believe it was over, we actually beat Xemnas. Soon, things were finally gonna go back to normal.
Feeling like this was the perfect time to be honest to Sora, after everything that i've done, i decided to be open with him.
"Hey...what I said back there... about thinking I was better at stuff than you... to tell you the truth, Sora... I was jealous of you."
"What for?" Silly sora. Always so naiive. But that was exactly why i loved him.
"I wished I could live life the way you do. Just following my heart."
"Yeah, well, I've got my share of problems, too."
"Like what?"
"Like... wanting to be like you." *Oh really.*
"Well, there is one advantage to being me... Something you could never imitate."
"Really? What's that?" Sora said with slight shock
"Having you for a friend."
"Then I guess... I'm okay the way I am. I've got something you could never imitate too."
My heart felt warm at his sweet reply. always so sweet, Sora. it was then that I knew that everything was going to be just fine.
*flashforward*
I felt a sharp pain coming from my forehead as I realized that my head had slipped from my hand and hit my desk.
I yelped out and raised my hand to attempt to ease the pain. *Great…. fell asleep again.* I glanced up at Mr. Yagami and sighed in relief.
*Well...at least he didn't notice.* I looked across me and saw a smirking Sora. How adorable. I half heartedly glared at him. As if I could actually stay mad at him...
"Had a nice nap, Riku?", Sora whispered.
I was about to give a comeback when the bell rang.
"FINALLY. Lunch.",I groaned.
I walked towards the door with Sora closely behind I glanced at him as we walked he always looked so cheerful… I loved that about him.
"Hey mind if I borrow your notes?" I asked him as we stood in the cafeteria line.
"Huh? Yeah no problem you're gonna need it you missed some important stuff." Sora said putting his hands at the back of his head
"Great." I sighed. "So what are you going to get?" I said noticing we were almost to the front of the line. *hope they're serving pizza today...or nachos...or- *
"HEY, SORA!!"
"Hm?" I turned towards the source of the voice and saw Tidus walking up to us.
"SORA! What's up, man?!"
"Hey, Tidus", Sora grinned.
"Hey, we gathered a few guys for a friendly match of struggle! Wanna come?" Tidus said and Sora got a huge grin on his face and I knew I would have lunch alone today.
"Sure!", sora beamed.
"Hey, Riku, you don't mind, right?"
"Wha- Oh. No. No, you go ahead, I'll catch you later. "
"Good luck." I said smirking which seemed to reassure him.
"Okay! See ya!"
*sigh...Great...guess I'm sitting alone again.* Riku thought sadly. Walking across the cafeteria, Riku scanned the benches to find a spot to sit at.
He debated whether to sit by Hayner, or alone. He glanced over at Hayner, who seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with Olette. Riku rolled his eyes.
"Shut up, Hayner!", Olette giggled.
Hayner blushed, wearing a big stupid grin on his face.
*Ugh. I'd rather sit alone*
Walking to an empty bench, Riku was completely oblivious to the sudden darkness portal that formed near a group of trashcans.
*it's harder than I thought...I wish I could just tell him...but...I just can't.*
"Argh! Trashcans?! Damn- DAMN IT!"
"What the-?"
Riku turned to see a struggling Axel, who, apparently, had a banana peel stuck in his hair.
"Pfft. i knew he wasn't gone." I said and Axel sat next to me on the bench.
"Riku, you're such a loner."
"You're just as much of a loner as I am." I said turning to look at Axel with a glare.
"So where's your little lover?" Axel said and I could feel his eyes on me.
"I don't know who you're talking about." I said my palms getting a little sweaty.
"Look Riku, I may be an idiot sometimes, but I'm not blind." Axel said starring me straight in the eyes.
"It's pretty obvious you like him so why haven't you told him?"
"I.." I sighed. I didn't know why, but I just never felt it was the right time to tell him. "I don't know Axel. I just don't know." I stared at the floor.
"Well.... - " Axel started.
