KairixRiku. I hate this pairing and yet they seemed to be the only two who fit here... so I decided to do it. I hope you like it!
When I was younger I used to be perfect.
Everyone would look at me and only me, and that's perfectly fine with a girl such as me. Selphie would copy everything I did and tried to be my best friend, which I allowed since there weren't any other girls. I had guys drooling at my feel and everyone loved me completely and totally. The teachers would give me good grades and I never had to try too hard. Being brilliant always helped and I was social enough to become president, prom queen, and Miss Destiny all in my high school term. The four years I was in high school were the best and greatest times of my life.
And now it's over.
In college everyone is here but there's no social ladder. I don't need to do anything to become popular because I just can't be. It doesn't matter much here. Everyone is too busy striving toward their goals and no one cares about someone like me. I'm just another pretty girl in the room.
I don't want that to be everything that I am! I want to be something more and yet I'm not sure if I can. Storming through the campus I was surprised when I bumped into Riku. He looked down at me curiously, seeing my furrowed eyebrows and then laughed at me.
"You're not trying to entrance everyone around you again are you?" He asked in a teasing sort of way making me glare at him.
"College is defective." I informed him darkly causing the man to laugh once again before pulling me into a hug. I smiled softly at this and wound up releasing all the tension within me for a split second. That split second made all the difference though.
"How are you doing?" He asked softly making me sigh and lead him over to a bench before crashing down onto it. I noticed a happy looking Sora talking with some dirty blond guy. It made me smile feeling a bit warmer knowing the little guy has a friend he can finally talk to here. I was kind of scared for him since he's been alone so much, granted it's not like I talked to him at all.
"I'm doing good… best grades in the class and I have girls who look up to me but wont' admit it aloud." I informed him while looking up at the sky. It seems like this day just won't end; but when I glanced over at the silver haired man I smiled, not really wanting it to.
"That's good." He whispered softly and closed his eyes, leaning back with his arm around my shoulder. I watched his tired face for a moment then frowned in minor concern.
"How are you doing?" I asked softly and stared at him, not caring for once about the cute guys who walked past. Typically I would remove myself and show that I obviously don't like him like that but this time I'm just too comfortable and I like him too much.
"I'm just tired. It's a lot of work… trying to be doctor and all." He informed me softly and then ran a hand through his hair. Opening his eyes slightly he then glanced over at me. "You'd make a good nurse. Do you want to be mine when I finally graduate from this hell?" Riku asked with a bitter laugh. I looked him over then nodded and stood up. Holding my hand out towards him I grinned.
"I'll even help you out here in school, that way I know what to expect from someone like you when we're working together." I said and stole his schedule. Glancing down the list of classes, I paled slightly then nodded. "I guess I'll be going to class with you and taking notes." I murmured looking through it all while trying to calm down.
"Don't fall behind in your own classes." He said simply and yawned. I nodded and smirked up at him.
"You're acting a bit like Sora." I informed the man and watched a look of confusion cover his face. Frowning slightly I looked him over then sighed. No matter what I won't let this asshole forget me, not in the least. Sora was just some pipsqueak looking to protect everyone and be the hero which meant he needed to become stronger than Riku.
I'm better than that.
I will do whatever needs to be done in order to get what I want and no matter who's in my way I'll stop them and take my prize. I don't love Riku but I could one day, and I don't care about Sora but he could become useful later on. Right now though I need to work on my goals; which is to bring Riku to his highest and to bring my status up, even if there are no popular and unpopular kids here.
"I've got to go to class alright?" He asked softly then leaned forward and kissed the top of my head. "I'll see you later, and then maybe we can talk about Sora for a while. He was the brown haired, lazy, punk right?" The silver haired man called making my eyes widen in shock before I nodded slowly with a smirk.
"Sounds like a plan!" I called back knowing this is the one class I can't go to with him, if only because of my own class that's starting in five minutes. I turned around and ran back to class with a smile on my face.
Back on Destiny Islands when we were all together… I had so much fun listening to Riku's dreams and watching him fight whatever poor sucker decided to challenge him. Sora's attempts to get my attention never really worked but they did get Riku's which did make me jealous for a little bit, but that's when I joined their group. It was just the three of us… and for the first time I was happy. I didn't need to trick them.
I was just myself.
