Disclaimer: If only Take owned it. If only. She would have made so many changes...

Author's Notes: So yes. I say that a lot. Anyway, I stole all the little theme-y things from a LJ community. Someone already had the Riku/Sora pairing, so I was like, eh. And I stole it.

15. Photograph

It was musty in the old attic. The smell of old books and moth balls was prominent. But Sora had endured worse. And he was on a mission. Not to so save the world. No. He was just looking for old stuff that his parents never used anymore for Selphie to sell at her yard sale. The poor girl was being forced to earn her portion money for their trip to Japan. Sora felt for her. His parents were just handing him the money as a graduation present.

The boy moved a big cardboard box labeled 'Purified Air'. His mother had a running streak of trying too hard to be funny. Sora pushed another box to the side and saw a smaller wooden trunk with orchids carved into the oak wood. The brass hinges were tarnished as was the latch in the front.

Needless to say, Sora was intrigued. He couldn't recall seeing the box before. Or remember his parents ever mentioning it. So, being true to his curious nature, he meandered over to the box and casually flipped it open. He was surprised to see what it was.

Pictures. Hundreds of them. And from the looks at it, the top ones weren't that old. Some were printed off the computer and others were just regular prints from the photo place. With his deductive reasoning, Sora guessed the ones at the bottom were older. He fell to his knees began to sift.

He found all kinds of pictures. Embarrassing ones of him as a baby, sweet ones of his parents from when they were young and ones of his family on outings. There was even one of his mother as a little girl with pigtails and a sun dress. But he stopped as soon as he saw a particular one.

It was a few years old, slightly curled around the edges. It was from his freshman year. The brunet hadn't seen this picture in years. It was of him and Riku sitting on the steps of Destiny High, surrounded by friends. Everyone was ecstatic with wide beaming smiles across their faces. Everyone but Riku.

The silver haired boy was smiling a coy smile, but not at the camera. He was smiling at Sora himself.

Sora had to think back. What happened after that? What evil plot had Riku unleashed upon them, being a sophomore and all. He couldn't remember. Freshman year was so long ago. He'd just have to go ask Riku. He had a memory like...A thing that had a good memory.

The brunet got up, almost tripping from the lack of blood in his calves. He rushed down the stairs to the attic leaving a few photos scattered on the dusty wooden floor. He found Riku loitering in his kitchen, a cup of iced tea in his hand. There was a piece of Paopu in the form of a star on the edge of the glass true to island fashion.

"Riku! Do you remember this picture?"

The old boy crossed his arms over his chest, never letting his glass go. "Which picture?" Sora held out the picture. "Oh yeah. That was you guys first day at DH, right?"

The brunet nodded, bringing the picture back and looking at it again. "What were you smiling at again?"

"You", he replied easily.

Sora laughed as he blushed. "Why?"

"Because you were so cute."

Sora blushed a brighter shade of red. "What did we do after this picture? I can't remember back that far."

"That far? It was three years ago."

"Four", Sora corrected, still staring at the picture.

"More like three and a half", he snorted, putting his glass on the tiled counter. He crossed the few feet that separated him from the brunet. "I'm a touch hurt Sora. That's the first time I did this." Riku leaned forward and placed a kiss on his lips.

Sora smiled into the kiss, closing his eyes. Oh yeah. Now he remembered. He was late to his first day of high school. All because of Riku.

Don't patronize me! Haha. Read and review if you so desire. I'm trying to do 101...So yeah. I'll work on them slowly but surely.
