Chapter 2: Part 1:Silver Haired Beauty

SORA'S POV

-

You'd think that when someone goes for a job interview they'd be calm…right? Well I was far from cool and collected. I'd had sugar and my brain was going through some serious trauma.

"Are you okay?" Cloud asks leaning over the steering wheel. I turn my head from starring at the mall towards him. He looks at me with concerned eyes.

"What?" I ask.

"Alright…Are you alright? You kinda spaced out on me." He furrows his brows and attempts to smirk at the same time, all in all it turns out to be a pretty messed up face.

"I'm good." I turn back to the window. "Just to much sugar."

He sighs. He seems to be doing that a lot lately…I really would like to know who annoyed him. And with all this sighing I'm kind of getting concerned for his well-being. Is he forgetting how to speak? Will he only be able to sigh for the rest of his life?

" I told you that you didn't need it."

Look! Look he spoke! Cloud spoke! Stinky head actually did something other than sigh…It's a miracle! Wait a second…did he just say…Like hell I need sugar!

It was my turn to furrow my brows and sigh. Turning back to see him I blab. "You gave it to me!"

Cloud's eyes widen as he looks at me disbleleiving what I'd just said. A small snort accompanies it. "You're the one who threatened to burn off all my hair with the cars cigarette lighter if I didn't do it!"

I did?…Oh yea I guess I did. Silly me.

Funny…that small detail seemed to slip my mind…Hah, now that I do remember it, the look on his face when I put the lighter up to his hair was priceless…Stinky head never saw it coming.

It reminds me of one of those action movies where someone (or something…you never know a serial killer might train a monkey to rob a bank) robs a bank or takes a hostage. I think I'm like the bad guy, no argument there, and Cloud is my hostage. The only difference is that instead of holding a deadly gun to his head, I get to hold a flame to his perfect hair…which either way will prompt the same reaction.

"Well." I tilt my head back so I can look at him over my nose. "That'll teach you not to care so much about your pretty boy hair so much."

Cloud smirked, crossing his arms over his chest. "Oh really now?"

Is it just me, or does he look like the cat that swallowed the canary? He's planning something isn't he? But what? That look can only mean something awfully bad, by that I mean planets exploding bad. Wait…does that mean that Cloud is going to blow up the planet. If only I could…

At that particular moment Cloud decided to strike.

Lunging forward all hundred somethin pounds of blonde girly gay man-ness comes flying at me to pin me to the car seat with a right arm. His Left arm finds it's way to my sides and begins to mercilessly tickle my poor innocent self.

"No! No! S-stop! Ah-ha! Please Cloud!"

Damn, he's found my weakness. I didn't even see it coming, of coarse that could have been because I was about to shit my pants because the world was going to explode but…He's sneaky, too sneaky. The sneaky bastard MUST die…or at least STOP!

"C-come on…CLOUD! I give! I give!"

And just like that he stops. Meanie. He retreats back to his side of the car and pulls the keys out, putting them in his pocket. Reaching out he pulls on the handle and pushes the door open.

"Coming?" He asks looking back at me.

I nod and scamper out of the car. Cloud gets out as well, closing the car door behind him.

Did I ever mention what kind of car Cloud owns? No? Well it's a black Z06 Corvette with pretty spinning red hubs and shinny black leather seats…and of course a brand new cigarette lighter…not that either of use it, I guess it just came with the car. Lucky for me hu?

I notice that Cloud has already started to walk to the mall entrance. I pull up the big sleeves on the Korn hoddie, grimace at the tight pants, and jog up to his side. Falling into step beside him I look up to him, seeing as he's a good 8 inches taller than me.

"Are we going where I think we're going?"

Without even looking down at me he answers, "I don't know. Where do you think we're going?"

I think for a moment. "Leon?"

Cloud smiles. "Bingo."

It is then that I get a wonderful idea. "He's not gonna eat me right?"

Cloud stops walking "What?"

"Leon…he wont e-"

"I heard that part…but why would he eat you?"

"Because…"I smile, happy that he took my bait. "Leon eats you."

Cloud blinks trying to comprehend what I've just said. Then his face reddens. "Sora! You pervert!"

I laugh and run ahead, sure of where I'm going. Cloud once brought me to meet Leon but I didn't exactly stay too long. I run down the walkway laughing my ass off. Why not call it the runway instead of a walkway? Oh well.

As I run I can hear Cloud yell for me to 'wait up'. Like Hell I'm gonna wait, I'm on a roll! I look back to see that Cloud has started to jog and is closing in fast. Damn!

"Sora, look out!" I hear him yell. I turn my head just in time to see a boy with silver hair bolt around the corner and slam into me.

My head is jerks backwards as his head collides with mine. A sickening crack rings through my ears and I fall backwards. The floor comes in contact with the back of my head and another crack sounds.

"Sora!" I can faintly hear my brother yell my name. He's closer now, real close. I open my eyes and look for him.

Slowly Cloud comes into focus. My head feels like shit. Cloud's face is full of concern as he kneels next to me. "Sora. Are you okay?" He reaches out to touch my head, I flinch away moaning when it hurts.

"I'm fine."

"You're bleeding!" Cloud freaks. He hates the sight of blood. I am? I bring my hand up and feel my forehead. Warm sticky liquid coats my fingers. Yep…I'm bleeding. I close my eyes and lay my hand back down.

"You!" I hear Cloud talking to the boy now. "This is your fault Riku! What the hell's your problem?"

Riku? Is that his name? I lift my throbbing body into a sitting position to get a better look at him. I catch myself from gasping. He's beautiful! Riku sits Indian style holding his nose with his leather-gloved hands and glaring at my brother.

"Go fuck yourself Cloud!" He growls from behind his hand. "I'm not in the mood."

"Not in the mood! You ran my little brother over!"

Riku blinks in surprise. "Little brother?" He looks toward me.

My breath stops in my throat as the greenest eyes meet my blue ones. He's absolutely gorgeous! Shoulder length silver hair, lightly tanned skin, captivating eyes, Lord help me now I think I'm going to faint! And his clothes! Look at all the tight leather and chains!

My lips part and I try to speak, but I can't as the words are stuck in my throat. Oh gods this is embarrassing! I feel my cheeks heat up.

Riku is still staring at me. I hope he doesn't notice the blush. I swallow a big lump as he smirks. Oh crap he knows…I'm screwed.

"What the hell happened here?" Leon's voice booms as he walks from behind me. I turn my head to the side to see black leather pants and thick black boots come to stand. Looking up I meet Leon's gray eyes. They are hard and angry but quickly turn to concern when he sees the blood.

He bends down, brown hair falling over his shoulder, and reaches out to touch my forehead. "What happened?"

Cloud comes over to stand next to me and wraps an arm around Leon. "Riku ran him over babe."

Leon's eyes once again harden. Looking over at Riku I can see him visibly flinch. I smirk……Busted.

Why can't we just stop and smell the roses? Life's to short…Live a little" –Riku Kitara

Chapter 2: Part 2:Little Brother Blues

RIKU'S POV

-

Huh…that's funny. I swear I remember putting my boots next to the couch when I got home last night.

Yea…I did, I was so busy watching TV I remember not wanting to move (even during the commercials, they can be quite entertaining.) so I put them…I stop, my face going pale…the only other reasonable explanation is…

…Sephiroth.

I sigh heavily, close my eyes, and grit my teeth. Bringing my hand to my face I pinch the bridge of my nose. I feel a big assed headache coming on. Damn, I really liked those boots too.

"Sephy!" I yell. Not at all happy. A faint shuffle is heard in the distance. "Come here boy!"

The shuffling soon turns to thumping as he comes from my room.

In an instant a mass of shaggy white hair and drooling tongue bounds around the doorframe. Sephiroth's big build comes to a stop in front of me only for a second before he hefts his body forward and stands on his hind legs. I brace myself as he rests his big front paws on my chest (his way of saying hello Im sure.) (1)

"Down boy. Down." I mutter. He complies falling back down to his normal 3-foot height.

"Alright Sephy…where'd you put them?" He tilts his head to the side, innocently barking his playful confusion.

"Don't you give me that crap...You know exactly what I'm talking about. Where did you hide my boots?"

Most people would think me crazy for talking to a dog. But know this, Sephy is the smartest dog ever. Now his name leaves much to want for, especially when it's an entirely different story. You see, my brother, Sephiroth…I hate him. Plain and honest truth! So when he gave me a cute puppy with silver hair (just like him mind you. I swear it looked just like him…only more…dog?) for Christmas one year, I couldn't resist naming the dog Sephiroth out of spite…only now, I love the dog…and oddly enough still hate my brother.

Back to the dilemma at hand…my boots. Sephy always, and do I mean always takes and hides my things in some of the most unusual places. I once found my hairbrush in the fridge…how Sephy opened the door I'll never know. That's pretty much why I have the sneaking suspicion that he took the boots. Duh right?

"Come on Sephy," I lean down to pet him "I really need them for work. It's really important." I scratch his ear and earn a pleased whimper. "Please boy?"

Sephy barks and pads away to my (very small) second bedroom. It doesn't really look like a bedroom anymore. Since I'm the only human living here I don't really need 2 bedrooms right?

Well that's the brilliant principle I was living by when I bought one of those day beds (you know the kind that look like a sofa that you can pull out into a bed, just incase you have any unexpected guests.) and totally borrowed a big TV from my good friends at Radio Shack…fuckers never knew what hit em'.

To make a long story short…the second bedroom is now my own personal TV/Game room. Get it? Got it. Good.

I follow Sephy to the room and watch him climb under said day bed. His hind end wiggles around a bit until he slowly starts to back out. Low and behold, in his mouth rests my pair of boots, a little slobbery, but in tact.

I take them and wipe them off. Pulling them on I smile at Sephy. "Thanks boy…I'll feed you extra later okay?" I hear an approving bark in return. Sometimes I wonder if he does this just to get treats. God only knows how many times I've rewarded him for giving me back my crap.

Shaking off that thought I get back on track…now all I have left to put on are my fingerless gloves. I make my way to the kitchen/dinning room/living room (very small apartment…you'd think with two bedrooms there'd be enough space.) and remove them from the counter pulling them on in the process.

One last look at the clock and I'm gone.

Shutting and locking my apartment door I jog down the creaky old stairs. This place could seriously use some repair work. The paint on the wall is chipping, the metal staircase is rusty, even the carpets look like someone pissed on em' every two feet (which is probably what happened). The least the landlord could do is fix it up a bit; then again, I wouldn't be able to afford it then.

Reaching the apartment buildings front door I open it as well. As I run I start to pick up a faster pace. I would be fool to wait for the city bus like I normally do being this late and all, so I stick to running the 8 some destiny islands blocks to the mall. When you stop to think about it, it's really not that far.

I get to the mall in less than 5 minutes, record time on my watch.

I glance at the clock tower…it's now a quarter after.

"Shit!" I fling open the door and continue my running.

I pass all the other shops on my way. Abercrombie & Fitch (which can die thank you very much), some craptastic health food store, and finally the Kay Jewelers. 'Meaning it's right around this…' I never get to finish my ramblings as my nose (once again mind you) collides with a brown and hairy foreign object. I hear a cracking noise and fall backwards. I land on my butt cursing.

My face throbs, this time I'm sure I've broken it! I bring my gloved hand up to gently touch the burning flesh…damn…blood is definitely not a good sign. Looking to my right I longingly look at the Hot Topic entrance that's less than 5 feet…so close!

"Sora!"

I turn my head to see Cloud running up to the person I slammed into…wait…correction, the person that slammed into me. Why's Cloud here anyway? Come to visit Leon again? It's not that unusual for him to drop by unexpected…but to bring a guest with him?

"Sora. Are you Okay?"

Sora? So the kids name is Sora? Cute…I can't see his face because Cloud's in the way, but judging from his clothes he can't look that bad. His clothes are…interesting. What's bad about tight pants? At least he's not a Lard Ass. (2)

"I'm fine." Sora says. His voice sounds cute in a very sexy kind of way.

"You're bleeding!" Cloud shrieks.

He's bleeding? HELLO? What about me? For all you know my nose could be broken! Take pity on me Cloud, take pity.

Without warning Cloud turns to me with murder in his eyes…creepy. "You! This is your fault Riku! What the hell's your problem?"

I glare at him. I don't need to hear his shit right now!

"Go fuck yourself Cloud!" Or me I add in my mind. "I'm not in the mood." There…Hah! In your face Leon lover!

"Not in the mood!" Cloud looks really pissed now. "You ran my little brother over!" Cloud moves his arm to indicate Sora…I look on in amazement.

"Little brother?" The gay fag's got a bro? Cool.

This Sora, he's cute. Chocolaty spikes frame his pale face, that's hot. He has the bluest eyes I've ever seen, they're almost hypnotizing…scratch that they are hypnotizing.

My eyes move to see his luscious pink lips open. Mmm…I think I'm going hard. Look at him! Look! He's blushing! That is soooooo sexy. And the fact that he's blushing for me makes it even better. I can't help but smirk.

"What the hell happened here?" I see Leon walk out of the store and come to a stop beside Sora. The two stare at each other a bit before Leon squats down to touch his forehead.

"What happened?" He says in a softer tone.

Cloud stands and walks over to Leon's side, murmuring something in his ear. I can't hear what he's saying because he speaks so low. But what ever it is it can't be good. Why? Because the next thing I know, Leon is glaring at me…if you've never seen a Leon glare before let me explain it to you…It'll make you crap your pants.

I flinch, almost crapping my pants.

This can not be good.

(1) I bet you didn't see that one coming….

(2) I got this saying from my friend…no steal

Buwhaa! Now that Sora and Riku have cough met per say…what do you think, scratch that…know will happen? Hmm…Fluff! Yay! Review and you'll soon get your awsemo fluff.
