Chapter 2: Riku's Smirk.
"Shouldn't you be worry about…" - Riku, Kingdom Heart I
"I cannot believe this! My team is losing! LOSING!" Tidus cried as he pulled his hair in frustration. He turned into a stone when the opposite team made another goal into their net. "ARGH!"
"All right Riku! Great work, ya!" Wakka exclaimed. Riku nodded, like always, then looked at his opposite team where he saw Tidus was stomping the ground in frustration and Sora was calming him down.
"C-Calm down, Tidus," Sora said.
"How am I going to calm down when my team IS GOING TO LOSE!" Tidus shouted at Sora when then he felt cold from behind and whimpered silently. "Damn it…now what do I do? I don't want to be humiliated on the first game as a captain…" Tidus sighed.
"I know how," Roxas said.
"Really? How?" Tidus asked, eyes shimmering in hope.
"Like this," Roxas said as he took the ball from Tidus's hand and kicked it hard towards the sky. Tidus squealed happily.
"Oh! You're saying you want to join my team now?" Tidus asked, grinning.
"No," Roxas said sarcastically. Tidus blinked. "Watch," Roxas said. Tidus blinked then he looked up at the sky and watched as the ball descending at a fast speed towards them and to Tidus's outmost horror, the ball hit on Sora's head, strongly, causing the brunet to collapse instantly.
There was a very long silent in the field until Tidus shrieked.
"Roxas! What the hell do you think you're doing, you idiot!"
"I hit Sora with the ball," Roxas said.
"I KNOW THAT! But do you know what will happened after THIS!"
"Yes," replied Roxas. Tidus wailed louder.
"THEN WHY ARE YOU DOING IT!"
"Watch," Roxas said. Tidus blinked when then he felt cold behind him, a very cold air that sent very cold shiver down his spine and caused his feet to stuck on the ground, frozen. He started to sweat despite the cold and his fingers fidgeting in nervous and fear and he almost shriek when he caught a glimpse of silver from the corner of his eyes.
He was expecting a strong impact against his face only then he didn't receive any and he only heard gasps. He blinked as he stared at a rare scene before him. The scene was where Riku clutched Roxas's front shirt and had his face close to his, his aqua eyes were glaring intently into Roxas's blue one.
"What do you think you're doing?" Riku hissed. Roxas silence. Riku gritted his teeth before he let Roxas go then went to unconscious Sora on the ground. Everyone watched as Riku lifted Sora into his arms and faced them. "Cancel the game," Riku said before he walked towards the school building.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Is that your plan, Roxas? Make Sora unconscious so that Riku worried over him where he will cancel the game and thus, not humiliating me in the process?" Tidus asked. Roxas smiled. "Roxas…you know Riku will kill me when he found out about this…" Tidus groaned.
"No. I doubt that," Roxas said.
"And why is that?"
"He'll be busy with Sora's condition."
As soon as pain struck the top of his head, Sora woke up in start only to wince and clutched his head. "You shouldn't move," said one familiar voice. Sora looked at the owner of the voice and for a split of second he thought he saw something over Riku's face.
"Riku…"
"How's your head?" Riku asked as he reached his head to touch Sora's head. He quickly pulled it away when the brunet hissed in pain.
"Hurt, I guess," Sora replied, rubbing the back of his head. "What happened?"
"Your stupid brother hit your head with the ball," replied Riku. Sora sweatdropped.
"I wonder why…"
"I bet to help Tidus to get out of his humiliation," Riku said. Sora sweatdropped again and silent followed behind that Sora never get tired of. It has always been like this since last year where Riku never speak anything except if it was necessary and sometimes Sora felt uncomfortable with it and sometimes not.
"Um…How's your first day in college?" Sora asked to kill the silent.
"Good," Riku replied, simple.
"…"
"…"
"…It's boring being senior…without you," Sora said as he looked down at the blanket on his lap, somehow feeling embarrass of his statement. But it was the truth. He missed Riku a lot even though it was just a day they weren't together.
"…Hmm…" replied Riku. Sora bit his bottom lips.
'What am I hoping for anyway? It's not as if Riku will say anything,' Sora thought then sighed.
"…I have to go now," Riku said as he checked his wristwatch.
"Oh, okay," Sora said. Riku stood up from the chair, glanced at Sora for a while before he placed his hand on Sora's head and leaned down to kiss Sora's forehead. The brunet's face turned bloody red that earned a smirk from the silver-haired boy.
"I'll see you tonight," Riku said, ruffling Sora's hair before he left. Sora still had his face red as he thought about Riku's lips on his forehead, Riku's silky hairs he had once never touched on his skin, his smirk - Sora's head widened.
"D-Did Riku just smirk?" Sora asked himself. When he remembered it clearly, the silver-haired who rarely smiled since the defeat of Xemnas, had just smirk right now! Smirk! Smirk also known as smiling category too. 'Oh my god! Riku smirked to me just NOW!'
"Someone looks happy." Sora turned to the doorframe of the room he currently had no idea where was to find his younger twin brother or his Nobody, to be exact. The blonde was smirking at him before he approached him and flopped down on the bed by his foot. "So, how's your head?" Roxas asked.
"Buzzing," replied Sora.
"I guess my plan is working," Roxas said. Sora blinked. "Not only does Tidus was able to be free from humiliation, but someone had just smirked like someone had been wishing to see."
"Roxas…" Sora's blushing red. "Thanks."
"Your welcome," Roxas said, patting Sora's lap. Silence followed behind. "Sora."
"Hmm?" Sora looked at Roxas. The blonde was biting his bottom lips. "Roxas? Is something wrong?"
"I…" Roxas looked away. "I can sense Axel…"
"Axel?" Sora blinked. "You mean Axel of Organization XIII?" Sora asked. Roxas nodded. "You know Axel?"
"Of course I know him. I'm one of the members, remember?" Roxas said. Sora nodded in understanding.
"So you feel Axel is around? But wasn't he supposed to be in his owner's body after he vanished?" Sora asked. Roxas smiled and that was then Sora understood and realized something. "Oh…he has a strong will like you too…"
"Maybe," replied Roxas.
"So you want to meet him?" Sora asked. He watched as Roxas bit his lip more firmly until it turned white. Sora patted his shoulder. "Roxas…?"
"I-I miss him…" Roxas said. "I really miss Axel, Sora that I want to see him again. But…"
"What is it?"
"But…I don't think I can face him…after I left him alone…" Roxas sobbed. "He might hate me…"
"Roxas…" Sora pitied.
"I-I don't want him to hate me…" And Roxas cried in Sora's arms, for the first time.
