The brunette straddled him and purring in his ear asked.
"Whats wrong Riku?"
This set him off.
"Sora stop teasing me, I cant take it..."
Sora continued to tease him even more until Riku tackled him to his bed and kissed him mercilessly... Everywhere!
The brunette moaned as Rikus tongue and teeth moved over his neck...
"Riku..."
He panted...
Hearing the brunette panting his name set something off within him...
He ran his hands down the younger boys body making him gasp.
"R-Riku!"
But the silver haired boy would not stop...
Meanwhile outside the window stood one of Kairi's friends...
She moved away and dialled Kairi's number.
"Kairi?"
"Whats up Selphie?"
"Uh... Riku's cheating on you..."
Kairi nearly threw her phone on the floor and jumping up off her bed screeched.
"Who is she? I'll kill her!"
Selphie took another peek in through the window rather enjoying what she was seeing.
/Sora and Riku, how cute... And hot!/
"Selphie! Who is he cheating on me with?"
Selphie started walking in the direction of Kairi's house.
"Well this might surprise you, but eh... Sora..."
Kairi gritted her teeth in anger and sitting back on her bed and spat into the phone.
"Sora? SORA! What the fuck is he doing with Sora?"
Selphie shrugged.
"I dunno what to tell you but thats what I saw..."
Kairi pulled open her closet and took a shoebox from the top shelf and sighed.
"Whats wrong Kai?"
"Selphie you need to come over straight away... There's something I need to show you..."
Riku and Sora woke up together the next morning, Riku often stayed in Sora's before Kairi and him had been together and Sora's mom was happy to see that him and Riku were friends again so she was more than happy to let him stay.
They got ready for school together and even held hands on the way, but had to seperate before they reached the school in case they were spotted by Kairi or her friends.
Riku let his hand go, grabbed him and kissed him as hard as he could on the lips.
"Sorry, needed something to picture when I have to kiss that bitch Kairi..."
Sora blushed.
He kissed him on the forehead.
"I'll see you later then?"
"Uh huh!"
The brunette nodded enthuastically.
Sora was in top form and headed for his locker.
/Today's gonna be a good day!/
He took what books he needed for his first class and headed towards the room he was in...
He was greeted however by a large colour picture of him and Riku kissing plastered up on the notice board...
/FUCK!/
With that he took out his phone and dialled Riku's number...
"Sora?"
"R-Riku hi, uh have you seen the noticeboard?"
"Um Sora the noticeboard is the least of our worries..."
"What?"
"You should check out the playground and uh the cafeteria..."
Sora became afraid... Very afraid...
"Why?"
"Well the cafeteria is covered in that picture, and uh several others..."
"Others?"
"She took a lot of pictures of us that day..."
"Oh..."
Riku laughed slightly.
"And where it happened is covered with girls hoping we'll go back and do it again, and uh a few guys ready to beat the hell outta us if we do it again too..."
"Fuck..."
"Don't worry Sora, shes done her worst at least I can dump her now..."
Sora brightened up at this thought and leaning against a wall smiled to himself calming down a little.
"Sora? You there?"
Sora snapped out of his fantasy world.
"Yeah I'm here!"
"Come meet me outside, dont worry we'll figure this out..."
"Okay..."
"See you in five by the... basketball courts?"
"Okay see you in five..."
Both boys hung up, not sure what to do about the situation at hand...
Sora put his phone back in his pocket and headed towards the basketball courts.
Meanwhile Riku had some quick business to attend to...
He went to the cafeteria with a big smile on his face and walked to Kairi's table where she was sitting with her friends.
Everyone turned and stared when he walked in, (there were pictures of him kissing Sora everywhere after all) he approached Kairi's table his grin growing more evil with every step.
He didnt even bother to sit instead he jumped on top of the table which caught the attention of the whole cafeteria.
Riku took a deep breath, he was gonna scream this at the top of his lungs...
"Bitch? You're DUMPED!"
Kairi's face fell, with this he jumped off the table and left to meet up with Sora complete with a big happy smile on his face.
Sora was waiting alone in the basketball courts when he was approached by Selphie.
"Hi Sora!"
He was somewhat confused, Selphie never ever talked to him, not since they were young anyway...
"Um, hi?"
She looked down as if ashamed of herself.
"I'm sorry about what happened with you and Riku and the pictures..."
"Why are you sorry?"
She lowered her head guiltily...
"Kairi told me to follow Riku yesterday... I told her Riku was cheating... I wish I hadnt, you guys are totally cute together..."
Sora blushed slightly, a voice came from behind him.
"We're not cute! We're super hot bitches!"
Sora turned to meet Riku's lips on his own, he dropped his backpack in shock.
Selphie was squealing with excitment which drew the attention of other students.
Soon the oblivious lip locked boys realised they were being photographed on camera phones laft right and center by cheering classmates.
Sora turned a deep shade of red wondering how long the crowd had been there...
Riku just grinned and told Sora how he'd dumped Kairi in front of the whole cafeteria.
"Wont she be mad?"
Riku laughed.
"Furious im sure! But what do I care Im free!"
Riku looped his arm around Sora's shoulder and left the basketball court leaving about 20 swooning girls in their wake.
They walked into the school hand in hand only to be approached by the principal.
"My office, NOW!"
Both boys sat in the principals office wondering what this was about...
The principal sat in his chair sighing...
"I dont know what possessed you to put those pictures of yourselves up everywhere..."
Riku stood up and cut straight across the principal.
"Hold the phone! Why the hell would I want my personal life up all over the school? I wouldnt! My parents dont even know I'm gay, so why the hell would I want anyone in the school to know?"
The principal scoffed at this.
"Gay? I've seen you and Kairi together and if it wasnt you then who may I ask did?"
Riku laughed.
"I can tell you the whole story of me and Kairi and who put the pictures up, but you are not going to believe it..."
Kairi was called over the intercom.
"Kairi please report to the principals office this instant..."
Kairi picked up her things and made her way down to the principals office.
She had her sweetest smile on to try and worm her way out of whatever she had done, but her face dropped when she saw Sora, Riku and Selphie already sitting in there...
Giving Sora a threatening look she took a seat.
"Kairi I have interviewed these three students separately and all of them have told me the same story..."
Kairi stared at Selphie mouthing the word "traitor" at her.
"It would seem Kairi, that you have some explaining to do..."
Everyone involved was called in at some stage and although they were Kairi's friends no one wanted to get suspended or worse still expelled for lying for her...
So the truth eventually came out, the whole school learnt what Kairi did...
This truth left Kairi friendless...
Even the friends who had been somewhat involved knew nothing of the blackmail she had pulled on Riku and turned on her...
Lonliness was tough on Kairi and there was no other school she could attend so lonliness was something she learned to accept...
Seeing Sora and Riku happy together just made her bitter...
Slowly, she began to plot her revenge...
Knowing that Sora was the weaker of the two she made him her target.
She carefully watched him over a month to see where he would normally be and when he would be alone...
Making a schedule of his whereabouts...
She picked her time carefully and slipped a note into his locker, although suspicious he went along to wher he was told to be and waited on a bench.
He browsed through his science notes for the test he had later on while waiting...
Kairi spotted him and trying to look as sad as possible approached him.
As soon as Sora seen who it was he went to leave.
"Please Sora, dont leave..."
Against his better judgement the brunette turned around.
"Listen Kairi I dont want trouble, theres been enough about this, I'm sorry you and Riku didnt work but its not my fault... Plus I dont think I can ever forgive you for using me all those years so goodbye..."
Kairi launched into plan b.
"At least let me make up for this..."
Grabbing him she kissed him on his lips, hard...
He was wide eyed and glued to the spot in total shock...
Kairi pulled away and ran off pretending to cry...
Sora scratched the back of his head in confusion...
/What the hell just happened?/
Riku came around the corner seconds later.
"Hey Sora!"
Sora fell back onto the bench.
"Whats wrong?"
Riku sat beside him and pulled him closer hugging him, Sora looked up in total confusion.
"Kairi just kissed me..."
Rikus eyebrows shot up in shock.
"What! You pulled away... Right?"
"I was too shocked to do anything I was too shocked to even kiss back, not that I wouldve... Then she just ran off in tears..."
Riku smiled at his young lover.
"Had me worried there for a second! I thought you were gonna say you liked her again..."
The brunette cuddled into Riku's shoulder.
"Course not!"
/Right Sora?/
Kairi left Sora another note about a week later.
He knew who the note was from straight away by the handwriting.
/Not again.../
He read the note none the less.
*Sora, Im sorry about what happened last week... I was totally out of line... I just felt, like I should apologise and I kinda lost the run of myself... Sorry again... Kairi.*
He massaged his temples...
/Ugh.../
He grabbed his books in his arms only to run into Kairi as he turned the corner.
She fell right on her ass and Sora being the kind hearted person he is helped her pick up her books, but something weird was scrawled on her history book.
He took a closer look and almost took a heart attack, a big heart with Kairi + Sora forever inside it...
Noticing that he'd seen it she grabbed the book and ran off.
/My plans working!/
She was already planning her next move...
Sora texted Riku.
*KAIRIS ACTING TOTALLY PSYCHO!*
Riku laughed to himself.
*And this would be news to you how? LOL*
Sora smiled.
*No seriously... I ran into her today, actually just a couple of minutes ago... Her books fell all over the place and on the back of her history book she has a GIANT heart with Kairi + Sora forever wrote inside it! PSYCHO! Like more than usual...*
Riku read this text and started getting a bit annoyed.
*Seems you've been bumping into her a lot lately...*
*Riku you know its not like that at all, its gotta be some kind of trick shes pulling...*
Riku refused to reply to this...
*Riku please dont be mad at me... This isnt my fault...*
Riku avoided the brunette for the rest of the day.
Kairi watched in delight as Sora walked home alone...
Later that night Sora was lying in bed thinking about the fight him and Riku had earlier, when he heard a knock against the glass.
"Riku?"
He whispered.
Sora leaned out the window.
"Riku?"
He said louder, only to be grabbed and hit across the head with something hard, everything went black, the last noise to hit his ears before he fell unconscious was mocking laughter...
He awoke in darkness, he had no idea where he was and currently everything he could see was black...
His hands were tied, as were his ankles he could also feel something gagging his mouth so he couldnt call for help.
Terrified he struggled trying to free his hands, but the effort was useless...
Meanwhile Riku was feeling bad for overreacting and and had been texting Sora since late last night like crazy, he approached Selphie.
"Have you seen Sora anywhere?"
Selphie shook her head.
"I assumed you knew where he was, he didnt turn up this morning..."
This made Riku twice as worried last time he hadnt been in, he'd texted him, it was highly unlike Sora to intentionally make anyone worry about him...
/Damn it, I hope he's just mad at me and hasnt done something stupid.../
"Selphie? Do me a favour?"
"Sure what is it?"
"I'm gonna go find Sora, if anyone asks where I am, cover for me?"
"No problem... I hope you find him..."
At the end of the day Kairi made her way home and smiling to herself went to where she was hiding Sora.
She flipped on a lightswitch and saw him there weeping on the floor.
Kairi walked across the wooden floor to where he lay.
"You're pathetic!"
With that she kicked him hard in the stomach.
The tears ran down his face and loud sobs escaped his gagged mouth.
He tried his best to beg for mercy through the cloth his mouth was gagged with.
"Please I'll do whatever you want just let me go..."
She looked at his tear filled eyes and laughed.
"You've done quite enough already!"
And grabbing him by the hair threw him against the wall.
Riku at this stage had searched everywhere...
/Sora where are you? Even your parents are worried... Please be safe.../
Although he hoped he was wrong, he knew in his heart that something bad had happened...
They however were not dealing with any idiot, Kairi had been smart enough to cover her tracks when she had taken Sora...
And of course didnt give away her voice or identity...
Even if Sora knew it was her, good luck to him proving it...
She had even bulked up her clothes so she looked less feminine...
Sora was currently unconscious and in his boxers from the night before...
Kairi was getting annoyed with waiting on him to wake up and instead threw ice cold water over him.
He awoke with a start.
"Ah good you're awake!"
"What are you gonna do to me..."
Sora was terrified.
Kairi smiled viciously.
"You'll find out soon enough..."
Riku made his way back to Sora's house.
"Any luck?"
Soras mother was extremely worried.
Riku shook his head.
"But i am not giving up!"
Kairi sat Sora against a wall smiling she pulled out a small blade.
Sora looked at it wide eyed.
"Please..."
He begged.
"Please dont!"
Her eyes narrowed as she made her way towards him...
She slid the blade over his shin enjoying the panic she was stirring in him.
"Im not gonna cut you Sora... Not yet anyway..."
He cried out for help which resulted in him getting punched in the face...
He begged to be let go but this only resulted in more punishment...
Night fell, Riku had been searching since 10 am and it was now 10 pm and too dark to continue.
The police were called but they too had to give up the search once night fell...
Riku went home and threw himself onto his bed...
/Please be okay Sora... Please be okay.../
She had tortured him for hours with the threat of being cut with the blade.
It slowly lacerated the skin on his chest, the brunette had his eyes tightly shut tears streaming down his face...
"How does that feel? Eh Sora?"
She laughed and licked the blood from his chest making the wound sting more...
He sobbed harder.
"Are you gonna kill me?"
She stopped licking the wound.
"You know, I havent decided yet..."
She threw him to the ground and drew the blade down his cheek making it bleed lightly...
"Please dont kill me..."
Ignoring his pleas she licked the fresh blood off his cheek.
"You taste nice you know that?"
He shut his eyes and pretented to be somewhere else... anywhere else...
Riku couldnt sleep, he kept having nightmares about Sora killing himself or being hurt or stuck somewhere...
Crying out for help...
He tossed and turned all night waiting for the sun to rise so he could continue to search for his friend...
Kairi continued to slice him until it seemed it effected him no longer...
"Not working anymore huh?"
Sora just lay there eyes glazed over on he floor...
"Playing dead huh?"
She grabbed some vinegar and taking the lid off threw it onto his body he winced as the vinegar seeped into his open wounds.
"Please no more..."
He whispered weakly...
"If you intend to kill me, please... do it now..."
Her gaze held no pity and before he could beg for mercy again, he passed out from the pain...
Finally the sun was up and Riku ran to the one place he hadnt yet checked, the beach.
With Soras mother and the police in tow they searched the beach, every cave, every little place they could find they searched...
Riku climbed down the rocks towards the water and seeing another cave climbed in with his torch...
The cave was full of rock pools and large jagged rocks and towards the back of the cave tied to a large rock and unconscious was Sora...
Riku called Soras mother on her mobile and untied him...
Carrying him out into the early morning sunlight Riku could see the full extent of the damage that had been done to Sora...
He lay him out on the sand and checked his pulse...
/He's alive.../
Sora slowly opened his eyes.
"Riku?"
Riku hugged him tightly.
"I'm glad you're alive... I was so worried, what happened?"
Riku pulled his hoody off and put it on Sora.
"Someone knocked on my window... I thought it was you...I leaned out... Something hit me in the back of the head... Next thing I remember is being tied up... Somewhere really dark, it had no windows... Someone came in and and beat me up and hit me and cut me..."
Riku was horrified, anger was slowly building up within him...
The police took down all the details.
"I bled and begged for mercy, but they didnt listen, they licked the blood from me and cut me even more... I begged and begged and pleaded with them to let me live... Next thing I knew I was tied up in that cave, the person told me the tide would come in and drown me by midday... I screamed for help til my voice went... But I was in so much pain and so exhausted I must have blacked out..."
Riku hugged him tightly...
Tears ran down Sora's face.
"For a time there was a second person there too... I couldnt see his face but..."
Riku felt himself beginning to feel sick...
He knew what he was going to say...
"He raped me..."
The police took note of this and the paramedics took Sora away in the ambulance.
Riku was feeling pure rage and telling Sora he'd be along later...
He told the police about Kairi's unusual behaviour...
He knew he would be put under investigation too but he didnt care, he hadnt done anything wrong...
But until he got to cause serious pain to whoever did this to Sora he wouldnt be happy...
The police arrived at Kairi's house only to find no evidence...
Plus she'd sorted out an alibi...
Riku however wasnt convinced and once the police had gone cornered her.
"I will not hesitate to kill you if you dont tell me the truth Kairi..."
Not believing he'd have the balls to kill her she laughed in his face, but quickly stopped when she found herself cornered with a knife to her throat...
"You scream Kairi and I'll cut your fucking vocal chords... Got that?"
Kairi kept her mouth shut and co-operated.
Riku was never one to lose his temper, but for this he decided to make an exception...
"Now I'm gonna ask this once so you better tell me or I'll make death seem like paradise to you..."
Kairi nodded terrified.
"Who raped Sora?"
She whispered frightened.
"I dont know..."
Riku's eyes narrowed and pushing the blade to her skin said.
"If I pull this, you are dead... Do you understand?"
Her head nodded.
"Now who did it?"
Kairi broke down into tears.
"I paid a senior called Saix to do it..."
Finally his temper could be held in no more...
Before the rape of Sora wasnt something that seemed real, now that the words had been spoken, an identity to the crime he could hold it in no more...
He slapped her so hard across the face she fell to the ground...
"Riku I'm sorry... I was... Jealous..."
He turned enraged.
"You know what Kairi? I dont care... You are a fucking psycho who tried to KILL my best friend and lover... You can die for all I care... You are nothing..."
With that he walked out and went to the school to look for Saix...
He called the police on the way there...
"You might wanna talk to Kairi again... She seems to have changed her story..."
Before they could question him about what he had done, he had already hung up...
He passed through the school gates, the shock had left him comfortably numb, he didnt care what happened to him, so long as he made this Saix guy pay for what he had done...
/If I find this guy... I am going to kill him.../
Riku made his way into the school, a pistol he'd lifted from one of the cops concealed in his trousers...
He barged past the secretary and made his way to the computer with all the students names, profiles... addresses... He typed in the name.
S-A-I-X his details came up... What class he was currently in and everything...
/Saix, you are dead.../
He stormed the classroom Saix was in pulling out the concealed pistol...
Students ran and screamed around him, but in his head was pure calm, pure focus, he knew exactly what he was going to do...
Saix ran for it...
Riku walked calmly after him.
"The more you run Saix the more its gonna hurt when I blow your balls off..."
Saix ran faster down a random hallway, an empty hallway...
Although far away Riku's world seemed to be going in slow motion...
He aimed, braced himself and fired...
Saix fell down, Riku had got him right in the back of the knee...
Still feeling like he was living in slow motion he approached Saix, kicked his legs open, pulling the trigger...
Click, click, click...
/Empty? No matter.../
He threw the gun away behind him and decided to do the job with his foot instead...
"Rape my fucking friend will you?"
The police came in a few minutes later to find Saix unconscious and Riku still kicking the bloodied area where the students groin area once was...
"Riku, calm down..."
The police approached him slowly, the boy fell to his knees...
"What did you do? Did you bring the gun here?"
He was dazed from anger and the shock of having shot Saix...
"He ran, so I stopped him... I shot him, in the leg... Its not fatal..."
They led Riku out mumbling to himself...
"Hes in an extreme state of shock."
Announced on eof the ambulance staff...
"Delayed shock, its only just fully hit him... Which means he hasnt been in his right mind since he heard the news... He really cant be held responsible for what he did... He shouldve been brought to hospital at the start..."
Riku was shaking in the back of the ambulance.
"How dare that bastard do that to Sora... I'm glad I kicked his nuts in! Its only a pity the gun ran out of bullets... Otherwise he'd be immasculated right now..."
He began sobbing uncontrollably...
One of the ambulance crew wrapped a blanket around his shoulders, he jumped on contact.
"It's ok, we'll bring you to your friend soon..."
Riku nodded blinking tears away from his eyes.
Saix was lifted unconscious into the ambulane on a stretcher.
Riku's eyes filled with hate...
/I hope he cant have kids now... Bastard.../
They arrived at the hospital minutes later...
Riku was still messed up and was blinking at the lights...
He was being led to Sora's room by one of the ambulance workers...
Riku stopped and calmly whispered.
"The lights are burning my eyes... There is too much white... Is there anything you can give me to calm me down? I feel... I feel..."
He sat down on the floor and covered his eyes.
"Anxious and like i'm going insane..."
He was taken to a room where a nurse gave him a tranquiliser shot...
"Thank you..."
He sighed loudly...
"Stay there for about ten minutes, lay down it'll give the medicine time to kick in... I'll be back in a moment."
The nurse crossed the hall and grabbing something from the room across the way came back.
He lay in silence for a minute just breathing, when he began to feel himself lighten up he began talking randomly to the nurse, she figured she should try to get him to talk about what happened to him.
"So whats got you this anxious?"
He didnt move his gaze from the ceiling.
"The person I love was kidnapped, by a bitch whose obsessed with me and he was raped by some guy in our school she paid off... She dumped him in a cave by the beach and attempted to kill..."
Riku hesitated...
"Him..."
The nurse thought for a moment.
"The young brunette boy?"
Riku closed his eyes and nodded.
"I got the girl to confess and kicked the guy so hard he'll be lucky if hes able to produce kids..."
The nurse nodded.
"Do his parents know how you feel?"
He looked at the nurse now.
"No, please dont tell them... I'm scared I'll lose him... I almost lost him once today... I cant deal with losing him again..."
The nurse nodded.
"I wont tell, how does he feel about you?"
Riku clasped his hands together...
"Im not sure... We've kissed before, made out like... But nothing beyond that, I didnt think he was ready... Which is why I shot the guy who forced it on him..."
The nurse nodded.
"Shall we take you to see him now?"
Riku nodded but when he tried to stand he stumbled.
The nurse got him a wheelchair and wheeled him up to where Sora was, she knocked on the door and wheeled Riku in.
Soras mother hugged Riku.
"Thank you so much for finding my baby!"
He smiled weakly and being drugged and unaware of what he was saying uttered.
"You'll be really happy to know I got Kairi to confess doing it, oh and the dude who raped Sora?"
He laughed slightly.
"I robbed a cops gun and took out the back of his knee... Doubt he'll be having kids anytime soon either!"
Soras mother looked a little shocked, Soras father however shook Riku's hand.
"Good job! He deserved it!"
The nurse apologised for Riku's loose lips.
"He was under a lot of stress when he came in here, shock and whatnot... He was inconsolable and asked for something to calm him down... So hes currently under the influence of a tranquiliser shot, take everything he says lightly... Hes not really thinking straight, but he seems calmest when hes near Sora... We've decided to keep him in for a night or two just to keep an eye on him... Is it ok if he stays in this room with Sora?"
Soras mother nodded.
"Of course! he caught both of the people who did this baby, its the least we could do..."
The nurse nodded and helped Riku into the bed next to Sora...
"Soras safe now... I can finally sleep..."
The nurse watched him drift off to sleep.
"Ill be in to check on them every hour, you'd best head home, you've had a hard day, head home and get some sleep."
Soras mother nodded and kissing Sora left the room.
Sora awoke at 5am in a cold sweat.
"Riku!"
He looked around him and realising it was a nightmare, left his bed to go to the toilet, when he returned to the ward he noticed an occupied bed next to his.
/That was empty earlier.../
He approached it slowly careful not to wake whoever was sleeping there...
/Silver hair? It cant be! What happened to him?/
He pulled down the covers to see Riku fast asleep, just then the nurse walked in.
"Sora how are you feeling?"
The brunette forced a smile.
"Im fine, but whats wrong with Riku?"
The nurse laid a hand on Soras shoulder.
"Delayed shock responce... People get it all the time when something traumatic happens... Oh he single handedly caught both of the people who did this to you!"
Sora raised an eyebrow.
"How?"
The nurse laughed.
"Seemingly a knife to get the girl to talk and a gun stolen from a police officer to prevent the guy from running away!"
Sora froze.
"Did he kill them?"
The nurse shook her head.
"No, he threatened the girl and shot the boy in the leg so he couldnt run from him... Then he kicked his private parts til they bled... Thats where the police found him, kicking the passed out boy in the nuts... We got him to the amublance and he went into shock... We gave him a shot to calm him down, thats why hes fast asleep... He also said some funny stuff about he could sleep now because you were safe... That boy really cares about you!"
She gave Sora a wink and walked out leaving him looking over the unconscious Riku...
He laid a kiss gently on Riku's lips.
"Goodnight Riku..."
And crawled back into bed.
Soras parents arrived the next morning to find Riku's arms wrapped protectively around Sora.
Realising it was early yet and both boys needed their sleep they left them...
Sora awoke soon after and was happy to know Riku was there to keep him safe, he snuggled into Rikus arms only to feel his lips gently kiss his neck...
"Riku you're ok?"
Riku kissed the brunettes lips.
"Course, I found you didnt I?"
Sora kissed Riku passionately his tongue exploring the older boys mouth.
"Riku I lo..."
Before he could finish the sentance both boys parents were in the room staring at them.
Everything was silent, Sora pulled himself off Riku.
"So..."
Soras father began.
"This is why you attacked the guy who raped my son? Because it wasnt your fucking dick in him!"
Soras father dragged Sora from the bed.
"And you? Did you not adore Kairi?"
Sora shook his head.
"No, shes been treating me like shit for a long time now... Plus its hard to adore someone who kidnapped me and cut me up!"
He shook Sora.
"Cant you see its just this queer trying to brainwash you?"
Sora pushed his father.
"NO! Riku saved me!"
His father sneered.
"Of course, its funny he knew exactly where to find you wasnt it? It was probably his idea to start with..."
Riku jumped off the bed with a new found rage burning within him.
"My idea! My fucking idea! How dare you accuse me of that you bastard! I stayed up searching everywhere for him! And you accuse ME of being behind this! Do you think after all ive been through Im gonna take this off YOU? Wrong punk!"
With all he had to say out in the open he took all the rage he had within him and punched Soras father as hard as he could in the face.
"Im glad we're in a hospital, cause you might wanna get that looked at you asshole! Oh and if I see you shake Sora like that again Ill do to you what I did to Saix..."
Rikus father grabbed Rikus arm.
"Son maybe its best if you dont see Sora anymore..."
Rikus eyes opened wide...
"You, you cant do this to me... You cant really mean that..."
Soras father nodded.
"Im in agreement with Rikus father..."
Soras eyes filled with tears...
"But, hes my best friend dad... My only friend..."
"You'll make new friends son..."
Sora looked to his mother.
"Mom? Please dont make me stop seeing Riku!"
His mother looked to the floor awkwardly avoiding his gaze...
Sora helplessly looked at Riku...
Riku was being led out of the room by his parents...
But mouthed through the window...
"I'll see you, I promise."
Riku returned to school the next day, Kairi had the nerve to approach him.
(She was allowed back in the school as she had agreed to go to therapy.)
"Riku!"
Riku glared at her in a manic come-near-me-bitch-and-ill-rip-out-your-spleen-and-feed-it-to-you kinda way...
She ignored this and said what she wanted to say regardless.
"Im really sorry about what I did..."
Riku was ready to explode.
"You're sorry? You had my best friend raped... You cut him up and were gonna let him drown... You are the reason his and my parents wont let us see eachother anymore... You're lucky to be alive... Now move the hell away from me, before your luck runs out..."
Kairi moved away from Riku fast, everyone knew what he'd done to Saix and no one was even talking to him never mind messing with him...
The only reason he'd been allowed back to school was because the hospital put his behaviour down to temporary insanity, due to the shock he'd suffered...
Needless to say once this became public knowledge students only avoided him more...
And now that he wasnt allowed near Sora, he had no one...
Sora returned home the day after, it was a thursday and he was feeling the worst he had felt in a long time, he was silent for most of the day alone in his room, thinking...
When his mother knocked in to check he was okay he pretended to be asleep...
Truth is he was sobbing his heart out into his soft white blanket...
/I wish they hadnt found me...Its my fault we're in this mess.../
He made a plan in his head to see Riku, he didnt care about his parents, his classmates their opinions seemed irrelevent...
Riku was all he cared about...
His parents deleted Rikus number from Soras phone...
They were idiots to think he hadnt memorised it by now, he'd had it memorised since the day Riku had first kissed him, he wasnt sure why...
Maybe he'd liked Riku all along...
*Riku its Sora... If you have your phone... Uh... Tell me something personal about myself..."
Riku's face lit up seeing he had a message from Sora.
*Uh... Hmmm... I dunno if this counts but the day you were "sick" we made out like crazy in your room and that night I stayed over... Oh and I pretended to be someone else that night we met in the secret place...*
Sora smiled at the message.
*Im glad you have your phone cause I wanna sneak out and meet up later...*
The silver haired teen looked at the message a little surprised.
*Its very unlike you to break the rules...*
*Im sick of rules... See me at 11?*
*Sure where?*
He thought carefully about this...
/Somewhere we will not be caught.../
*The path up to the cliffs?*
*Okay at 11... Got it*
Sora nodded at his phone.
*See you then...*
The time passed surprisingly quick...
His decision was made, he knew what he wanted to do...
Before he knew it he was heading towards the cliffs...
/How do I tell him... Relax, just let it happen.../
Riku was waiting at the bottom of the path for him and they made their way up together...
They reached a secluded spot and Sora couldnt hide his feelings.
"Riku..."
He said sobbing.
"I only want to be with you..."
Before he could finish Riku was holding him, kissing him...
They were in the long grass atop the cliffs the stars were ablaze and for this moment everything seemed, perfect...
Soras lips parted from Rikus...
"Love me..."
He whispered.
Rikus lips started on his neck but had soon worked their way down to Soras chest...
"Are you sure?"
Riku whispered.
the brunette nodded.
"I love you..."
The older teen nibbled on Soras ear.
"I love you too..."
He took his time memorising Soras body, every little detail, in the knowledge that he may never again see it after tonight.
Riku entered Sora slowly making sure not to hurt him...
He felt Sora arch against him a small moan escaping his lips...
"Are you ok?"
Sora nodded eyes closed concentrating on feeling everything...
Silver hair fell around Riku's face it shone like moonbeams when bathed in the moons dim light...
Rikus hips and hands made sure would never forget their first time together...
Soras body began to pulse against Rikus he pulled himself upright and wrapped his arms behind his head and around Rikus neck...
A breath escaped his lips and release...
His hands gripped Rikus hair and the force of his teeth biting his bottom lip made it bleed but what he was feeling was esctasy...
Riku gripped Soras hips and pulling the younger boy down onto him let go...
"Sora..."
He gasped...
Both lay there in that embrace for what seemed like blissful hours...
Both drifting near sleep...
Sora pulled something from his pocket...
Riku took it examining it...
"Theres enough in there for both of us..."
Riku stared at the younger boy...
"Riku... I couldnt bear..."
"I know... Neither could I..."
Sora sat up looking directly into Rikus eyes...
"You're the best thing I have in my life... If I cant have you, I no longer desire to live..."
Sora opened the cap on the bottle and split the pills evenly...
"Once we take them... Thats it, theres no turning back..."
Riku answered by taking his half of the pills and swallowing them all in one go...
Sora smiled and did the same...
"Hey Sora?"
The brunette sat back into Rikus arms.
"Yeah?"
"Think we'll last til sunrise? We've never seen the sun rise together..."
"If we can fight off falling asleep til then we should get our sunrise... Its three now and it should rise at about five... Think you can handle two hours?"
Riku smiled.
"I hope so..."
They sat there in that embrace for two hours without a word, all that needed to be said had been said all they had wanted to share had been shared...
The long grass swayed about them and suddenly the horizon was on fire...
Riku was ready to pass out.
"We made it Sora look..."
Sora raised his hand to block the light from his eyes...
"Its beautiful..."
Riku smiled at Sora who was intently watching the sun...
"Riku, I love you..."
Slowly the brunettes eyes closed, the older boy didnt take long to follow...
Their breathing became shallow and slowly but surely their heart rates dropped...
/We can be together forever now.../
The younger boys body grew cold and limp against that of the older boy...
Slowly Riku drifted away too...
They resembled sleeping angels, skin so pale yet a peaceful look on their faces as if in the midst of a beautiful dream...
This is how they looked when they were found by an elderly man walking his dog a few hours later...
The funeral was held a few days later, their parents heartbroken by the death of their boys, concluded that they should be buried together...
"If only we had not been so strict my baby would still be here..."
Soras mother was in tears at the burial.
"Two young men stricken down by the trials of life... Lives barely begun... May their hearts find peace..."
The priest blessed the white coffin and moved back to allow people to throw flowers down onto the coffin...
The school gave hundreds of white roses, one per student including an outcasted and extremely guilt racked Kairi...
"They are together now... In death... May they rest in peace..."
Everywhere students, teachers and family members sobbed...
Kairi stood for a long time staring at their coffin, their gravestone...
"Im sorry for all I did to you Sora and you too Riku..."
She had finally realised the worth of the friendship she had used abused wasted and eventually lost.
Crying she said her goodbyes and dropped the rose onto the coffin...
/Ill miss you guys.../
Elsewhere two blue eyes open to meet with those of an aqua colour surrounded by silver hair...
Sora wiped his eyes groggily...
"Where are we?"
He looked around to find himself surrounded by flowers, Riku took his hand.
"We're free Sora... We did it..."
Sora smiled and with Riku by his side they walked into the bright light that lay ahead...
Together forever til the end of time...
"You scared Sora?"
"Not while I have you..."
They walked bravely forward no longer fearing rejection hurt or separation...
"But what if they dont want us in heaven?"
Asked a worried Sora...
Riku laughed.
"I have had my heaven for quite a while now..."
The brunette looked puzzled.
"Huh?"
Riku ruffled Sora's hair...
"Dont you get it? All this time my heaven was you..."
Together they walked into the white light of eternity...
