Umbrella Boy

Ch 2

The next morning, Riku went to class, handed his assignment in and sat through the lecture with his mind still on the nameless umbrella boy, he occasionally chattered with Roxas whom he sat beside with most of the time in that class.

"Wow," Roxas said, after Riku briefly told him about his meeting with the mysterious boy he was hoping to meet yet again (And skipping the part that he fell in love with him at first sight so as to not creep Roxas out). The blonde started to pack up since lecture was over, "Good luck on finding him again. Just don't turn into a psycho stalker like your red-haired friend." The blonde rolled his eyes in slight annoyance and a little something else. Riku stared oddly at the spikey haired blonde, his blue eyes rolling around like that reminded him of someone...

"Roxas!"

Riku felt time come to a sudden halt, that voice...it couldn't be...

He slowly twisted his head around...

And there umbrella boy was, in the flesh. He had the same spikey brown hair, sapphire blue eyes, crown printed sweatshirt, but wearing loose jeans and white sneakers this time.

"Sora!" Roxas ran over and hugged him. One of Riku's eyes twitched as the blonde wrapped his arms around HIS umbrella boy and hugged him tight.

The brunette giggled while mock struggling in the blonde's arms, "Roxas~ do you really want to suffocate your own little brother in a room full of witnesses?" he said as he jokingly pretended to start choking.

Then the brunette's eyes locked onto intense turqoise ones, his face briefly looked like he was studying Riku's face for a few seconds before it twisted to an expression of delight.

"Hey! It's you! So I guess you made it home alright!" Sora managed to struggle out of his brother's arms and walked up to Riku, hand stretched out before him, "I guess you're the silver haired Riku guy that Roxas told me about, who's also the best friend of psycho pyro guy. Anyways, I'm Sora, Roxas's little brother, nice to meet you!"

Riku shakily grasped the brunettes hand, hardly believing his luck, "Y-yeah, Roxas told you about me?"

"Yeah! It's mostly about the psycho pyro guy who keep stalking and annoying the heck out of him, but he also mentioned his best friend is a pretty good guy. I should have known when I first saw you, I mean, how many silver-haired guys can there be?" Sora said while grinning.

Riku couldn't help but stare at those soft looking at the curved pink lips that were smiling at him...

Roxas glanced back and forth between the two with a frown.

"Hold on, how do you two know each other? This is your first time here Sora," said Roxas suspiciously.

"Oh! I gave my umbrella to him yesterday because he had to..walk..." Sora trailed off as his brother suddenly glared at him, "Oops..."

"Didn't you say you lost your umbrella?" Roxas hissed angrily, "Don't tell me you were talking to a complete stranger at night, didn't I tell how dangerous that was?!"

"I, well, he told me where I was when I was lost!" Sora stuttered, quailing under his brother's glare, "And he had to walk home for an hour because he missed his last bus,
giving my umbrella to him was the least I could do!"

"He could have been some pedophilic psycho rapist serial murderer!" Roxas exclaimed, making Riku cock an eyebrow at him.

"He was nice! And he didn't look like a rapist or a serial murderer-" Sora argued.

"If serial murderers or rapists looked like serial murderer or rapists, there wouldn't be any in the streets!" Roxas replied in anger, "You were lucky that it happened to be my friend,
Riku. So promise me you'll never talk to stranger in the middle of the night again!"

"I promise, I'm sorry Roxas..." Sora said meekly, eyes downcast and sad-looking.

Riku felt his heart go out at the sight of the wilted figure of the brunette, "C'mon Roxas,
let up a little. He's alright, no harm done. And he's sorry too."

Roxas kept his grumpy face on for a while longer, but finally it crumbled and he went over to hug his precious little brother again.

"I forgive you Sora," Roxas sighed while gently squeezing the young boy, "Just don't worry me like that again. I know you usually call if you're going to be late, but you left your cell in your room, and I thought some pedophile got his hands on you..."

"Aww Roxas, don't worry so much," Sora smiled cutely at his brother, "Plus I'm turning eighteen a few days after I graduate anyways, that's in a couple of months. So no pedo's going to go after little ol' me~"

"Right, like you look like you're going to turn eighteen, " Roxas grumbled, scanning at Sora's boyish face, which made him look like he was around 15 at most, "Just don't forget your cellphone next time."

"Okay," Sora pecked his brother on his cheek, "Mwah! Love you lots Roxas!"

Roxas grinned, and ruffled Sora's hair, "Love you a lot too-"

The blonde suddenly realized Riku was still there, and flushed a little.

"Er, sorry about that, Sora and I are pretty close, so..."

"Don't worry about it, it was...cute," Riku said smiling while replaying Sora's cute antics in his head. Sora blushed a little while Roxas scowled, "I'm not cu-"

"ROXY! MY CUTIE LITTLE CHERRY PIE!" A red a black blur suddenly burst into the scene,
hurling itself over at Roxas.

The blonde just sighed, took a step to the side, snatched a black sleeved arm, and hurled the black and red figure into the seats of the lecture room.

"OWWW!"

Riku smacked his forehead with his hand and groaned, "Not again..."

Sora was stuck between deciding whether to compliment his brother on the cool judo throw or to help out the unfortunate pyro, who's head was stuck under a blue seat and legs were dangling helplessly in the air.

Roxas turned to Riku scowling, "Since he's your best friend, I have to ask. Does he EVER learn?"

Riku sagely shook his head, "Nope, you're just going to have to get use to it..."

"YOU DO LOVE ME ROXY!"

Axel untangled himself and managed to embrace the blonde's unprotected back after a spectacular 3 meter leap clear across 2 rows of seats.

"I didn't even get a broken bone this time! Aww, You're warming up to me!" Axel exclaimed in elation as he nuzzled his face into Roxas's hair.

Roxas's right eyelid twitched.

"Riku," the blonde said in calm yet dark tone.

The silver haired man was already slowly backing away, "W-what?" he said, nervously eyeing the dark aura that the blonde seemed to be emitting .

"Take Sora to the coffee shop downstairs and wait for me, I have something I need to...take care of," Roxas continued in his calmly veiled voice, "See you in a bit Sora..."

"Don't hurt him too badly big bro!" Sora said cheerfully at the doorway, he had already recognized the signs that his big brother was about to erupt and dashed to the nearest exit earlier on.

"I wouldn't bet on it..." were the last words Riku and Sora heard as they sprinted through the door. It wasn't long until a bloodcurdling scream followed behind them...
