Repeated Sentence! So. Despite my sadness at the sluggish review count of What If at the moment, (don't worry I still love you XD) I decided I should start this. Mind you, even I don't even know all the details because if I completely plan out a story I lose important spontaneous thoughts. But I kiiinda did and I think there might turn out to be 13 chapters, which is kinda creepy. lol
But fer serious, let me know what you think of this one. Going out on a limb here. And darling Onemoreparadise, when I thought of this lyrics in the beginning biz, I'm like hey! Protecting Me! XD :love:
Ok. :deep breath: Here we go. Don't get confused cuz the first bit is flashback. the first italics sentence is not in the story, its just lyrics from the song. XD
Coin Operated Boy…
I turn him on, and he comes to life…
She stared at the sunset as it reflected its golden rays off the ocean, absentmindedly tucking a stray magenta hair behind her ear.
"Riku…" she said softly, "We need to talk…"
--((Bloo))--
Riku cried out in frustration as he entered his small apartment, throwing his keys in the general vicinity of the entranceway table. He stormed into the kitchen, pulling a cold coke out of the fridge. He collapsed on the couch, calmly setting his pop on the table. He covered his face with his hands.
"Again…" he muttered to himself. "I've been broken up with again!" Only it was Kairi this time, he thought ruefully, it's pretty sad when even your best friend won't love you.
He sighed. Riku had been alone since his 18th birthday. His parents were killed in a plane crash, and none of his relatives lived close enough to keep in contact. None of his old neighbors treated him the same afterwards. He felt as if they walked on eggshells around him, thinking he was a damaged little boy. He moved to his new apartment in the city on his island to get away a month after the accident. Maybe that's why I'm so lonely, he mused, sipping his pop. It's already been four years…
He attracted plenty of women, much to Riku's dismay. They were all attracted to his 'wounded-and-mysterious-soul' persona. After a while, when they didn't miraculously heal him, they would dump him and find someone else to play with.
Kairi was different. Kairi stood by him and helped him move on. All that remained was the bitter loneliness. She told him today that she was leaving the island and it would be better in the long run in they parted ways. I'm impossible, he thought dejectedly. I shouldn't have pushed this onto her anyway.
"I just wish I wasn't so lonely anymore…" he murmured as he turned on the television to watch a romantic comedy, commonly known as a chick flick. They always made him feel better.
--((many hours later))--
Riku lay collapsed on the couch, asleep and drooling on the arm. All was quiet and still with the exception of the television as it mindlessly continued its programs. The small lighted clock blinked 12:36 AM to the empty room.
In the quiet, a small pink light began to appear. "Perfect," it seemed to say. At first it was the size of a button, but it gradually grew larger and larger in size until out of it stepped a full grown being dressed in a flowing pink flowery skirt with a white blouse. The newcomer blew a hair out of its face and looked at the sleeping boy on the couch.
"Hey hun, get up," the figure said, poking him gently, "I have a present for ya." Riku muttered unintelligible phrases as he shifted to his other side on the couch. The figure sighed deeply. It turned around and reached into the pink opening behind him. The figure pulled out a naked distinctly male figure and set him on the ground, where it collapsed, lifeless. The pink orb shrunk back to a button size and clipped itself to the newcomer's earring.
"Oh come on, don't make me do it," the newcomer groaned at the sleeping boy, "You'll get the shock of your life!" When Riku didn't move, the figure sighed again. "Fine, don't say I didn't warn you…"
The figure then hefted the lifeless lump onto the free end of the couch and slipped a quarter into the small slot in the upper left portion of his chest.
A crown-shaped necklace with the engraving of 'Sora' jingled as the figure slowly opened its bright blue eyes.
--((To be continued….))--
Yes that is freakishly short, but I was planning on making this the prologue in the first place. I'll give you a cookie if you can guess who the pink one is. Hint: I didn't want to give away its gender. XD
Tell me what you think of its humble beginning!
