as promised this is the next chapter to Sorry I'm Late so enjoy!


'That was out of order! Sora shouted at Riku when he exited from the library. He was outside now he could shout all he wanted. Riku just stood and smirked. 'Now everyone thinks I'm your bitch!' he grinned. 'It's not funny I was already teased, now think of the damage you c-caused.' crying, he fisted his hand and hit Riku's chest.

Riku didn't flinch, losing the smugness, he pulled Sora close. Sora would lie when he said he didn't find himself melting into the touch. Riku's hand stroked through the unruly spikes of Sora's hair and kept him from shouting but it didn't stop the uneven sobs coming from the small boy.

'Come on, I'll take you home,' he took Sora's wrist and lead him to the car. Sora sat staring out the window, silent and wiping the tears from his wet cheeks. The quiet music filled the awkward silence.

'Just down here.' Sora finally. He opened the door was about to mutter a thank you but he was cut off by Riku pulling him over. Riku softly placed his lips on Sora's. Automatically Sora drew back and slapped him sharply. His heart pounding and tears in his eyes.

Why didn't Riku understand he didn't want this?

'Can you at least hang around with me?' Riku asked quietly, just like before, his charisma had disappeared.

'I don't know...' Sora looked at his hands.

'I'll see you tomorrow then.' Sora took the opportunity and left watching Riku disappear down the street.


'Hiya Sora, honey!' his mum cooed 'how was school?'

'Great as always mum,' she noticed the bruise on his arm from the others. She looked disapproving.

Hoshi Akarui, thirty five years old, tall and thin, has been ever since her partner of ten years and Sora's father left. She is usually worried for her son's health and insists on taking care of him for everything she possibly can. She enjoys seeing people she cares about happy and hates her loved ones being unhappy.

'Did you fall again Sora? Honestly you're so clumsy. Whatever will I do?' she ruffled his hair, he smiled once again thankful she didn't know the truth. He didn't like to make her worry.

'I'm going to get a bath now!' he trudged up the stairs locking the bathroom door. He peeled off is shirt wincing at the movement. He saw himself in the mirror. Ashamed at the amount of black and blue skin, he skimmed his hands down the delicate skin. As the water ran he stepped into the steaming water. It soothed his aches and pains. Sighing he thought about the day.

Those guys will finish him off tomorrow for sure. Riku will pester him and he'll be late for work...as usual.

He could see himself walking down the hall; he smiled at the way he knew it so well. He saw himself trying not to let himself get about as he hurried down the corridor to his next lesson. He felt the wrist on his hand, him being turned to someone. He could see Riku getting closer, ready to kiss him. He felt his hand drawing back and his palm connecting with Riku's face.

He jerked awake to the sound of his mum's knocks.

'Yeah I'm getting out soon,' he called. He saw the time on his waterproof watch. 'Shit...' he breathed slipping beneath the water. He still had to do his English coursework and finish writing the neat list of the new books. Then there was much needed sleep... with all the pain shooting through his body whenever he tried to move it was kind of difficult to close your eyes and relax.

But maybe things can get better...right?


i hope this was as good as the first chapter but i always think my second chapters aren't as good as my first but...i'll still post it.
