~Motorcycles~
The most important object in Riku's life has to be his motorcycle. Flaming red, sleek, fast, and thrilling, this deity of a vehicle can't be defeated. The silverette protects it like its worth someone's soul and cherishes it like such as well. He may ride it everywhere- even to school- but not a scratch can be found on the sleek exterior of the revered transportation bike. He repairs it himself whenever the slightest thing sounds wrong; he's even developed a reputation of being the best mechanic on Destiny Islands from his handiwork, learned from having to fix his cherished possession. He won't let anyone, may I repeat, anyone, touch it.
And that is why people were quite shocked when Riku came to school with someone gripping his waist for dear life on his motorcycle behind him.
With a loud roar, Riku thrashes through the school parking lot entrance in all his bad-ass glory. If the engine weren't so loud, you'd hear a certain spiky-haired brunette squeak behind the venerated sex-god. When the engine cuts off, there's an irregular quiet among the student within the lot. They are all staring at the bike, owner, and …whoever is on the bike with him. Then, they hear something possibly even more disturbing; an outraged voice exclaims from behind the senior, "Riku! Were you trying to kill me? That was terrifying!"
How dare this kid talk back to Riku this way? Who would have the balls to even go against Riku, who despite his non-bulky appearance can take down all the guys in high school? But things just get stranger for the poor stressed students of Destiny High. Riku doesn't even glare at the kid; he chuckles good-naturedly and replies, "But it gave you a thrill."
Sora takes off his helmet to reveal a blushing face; it's hard to tell whether he's embarrassed or just thrilled from the ride, like Riku said. It must be a combination of both because the lanky boy grumbles in reply as he clumsily gets off the bike. Riku smirks at him, his jade eyes alight with amusement. Nonetheless, the sexy silverette helps Sora stand up straight and steady.
"I don't need help, Riku. I'm not some chick." Sora grumbles moodily.
Riku tsks the brunette, "Not only was that sexist, but ungrateful. Is that how you treat your superiors?" Usually, when Riku said this kind of statement he would have a venomous tone to it and murder in his eyes, but for Sora there was nothing but a smile and a playful tongue. It's quite baffling to the students that don't understand the truth. His fan girls see it, but refuse to acknowledge it. It has to be a coincidence that Riku doesn't date, right? He's just dedicated to school; surely that's logical? The more reasonable high school students must know by now, though, that their prince charming probably isn't willing to charm their certain… gender, if you catch my drift.
But what else can you expect from a man who obsesses over his motorcycle like he does, and then let the cute Sora ride it?
We didn't learn to add two and two together in kindergarten for nothing.
