000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Come again," said Riku trying to piece together his thought process.
"You heard me," said the blonde "look I know you can fight, after the way you handled you self this afternoon."
"Look man," said Riku "I don't fight ok I just got lucky today."
"Yeah right," said the blonde.
"Look I'm not fighting," said Riku his temper raising. "So just back the fuck off." The blonde gave Riku a disbelieving and angry look before leaving with his group. Riku turned back around to face his new friends. "Who is that guy?" he asked.
"Roxas McCarthy," said Tidus "Self proclaimed best fighter in the school,"
"Well he is," said Pence "everyone who fights him ends up hurt. Or worse." Just hearing this made Riku's blood boil, someone who got pleasure out of hurting people made Riku sick. Namine must have noticed because she quickly changed the subject.
"What are we doing after school today?" she asked.
"Um I don't know," said Hayner "we don't have blitz practice today so…"
"Why don't we catch a movie," said Ollete "Riku do you want to come,"
"Uh sure," he said "I can do that."
"That sounds like a good idea," said Pence.
"But what?" asked Namine.
"Uh," was pretty much the response she got from everyone. They sat there and debated for awhile but the bell rang.
"Ugh class," said Tidus standing up.
"Hey Riku, what do you have next?" asked Sora.
"Weight Training," he responded getting to his feet.
"But we just had that," said Hayner.
"Yeah I know," said Riku "I have three." Everyone turned to look at him. "What?"
"Three?" asked Sora.
"Yeah," said Riku "I only need one core class and that's English. I take three weight training classes to stay in shape,"
"Or cuz your loony, ya?" said Wakka spinning his index finger in small circle's next to his head, crossing his eyes, and sticking out his tongue. This earned a laugh from the whole group including Riku.
"Yeah, maybe," he said rubbing his hand over his mouth and down his chin to get rid of his smile. "Anyway I'm off to the locker room," and with that he took off.
"Wait," he heard Namine call. He turned around. "I'll come with you," she said grabbing her things. "I have art next and the art room is close to the weight room."
"Uh, ok," said Riku "if you want to." He waited for her to catch up then turned and left with her. As they walked Namine asked him about himself.
"Where are you from?" she asked.
"Twilight Town," he said.
"Oh, do you like it here?"
"Hmmm, I'm not sure. But I'm starting to like it more and more," he said giving her a smile. She went red and looked down. "Did I say something wrong?" he asked.
"What? Oh no, nothing at all," she said smiling him. "Anyway this is where I'm headed" she stopped at the door of the art room.
"Ok." Said Riku "I'll see you after school." With that he started to head for the weight room.
"Wait Riku," Namine stopped him. He turned to see what she needed. "Let me see your cell." Riku handed it over and watched as she punched in the numbers to her own cell. "There," she said handing it back "now I can actually find you after school."
"Yeah," said Riku chuckling "that might help, anyway I'll see you after." And with that he took off waving as he walked.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Namine watched Riku as he walked away; she waited until he was out of sight before she went inside the art room.
"Hello, Namine," said the teacher. She smiled at him and headed for her seat. Once the class was filled the teacher stood at the front of the class and said…
"Ok, so I feel very lazy today so just do whatever you want," and sat down at his desk.
Namine sat at one of the desks and pulled her sketch book out of her bag and started to draw. At first she didn't really know what she was drawing; she just let her hands lead the why and watched as the picture took shape. It wasn't until she was three fourths of the way through the drawing before she realized it was taking the shape of a certain silver haired boy. As she finished she thought back to his first day.
Flashback
Namine was sitting in class only half listening to Mr. Clark's lecture on William Shakespeare. The teacher's monotone voice and pathetic attempts at humor were quickly putting her to sleep. It wasn't until she heard him say her last name that she snapped back to full attention. Thinking she'd been caught snoozing in class she looked up and saw that he was actually addressing a silver haired person she'd never seen before. The young man turned towards her and walked to the seat next to her. She, like everyone else, couldn't take her eyes off of him. When Clark started talking again she still stared at him. His long hair fell over his eye's so she couldn't see them. Until he turned to look at her, the movement had been quick but that was only half of what startled her, the other was the color of his eyes. She had never seen anything so beautiful; they were a bright aquamarine color that shined even brighter against his blue tee.
He gave her a funny look and she knew she had to do something. She shook her head to break her own trance. She looked back at the board praying to every god she'd ever heard of that he didn't see her blushing because she knew she was. Throughout the period she would sneak glances at him, but every time he was unmoving just staring at the board. She could barely tell he was even breathing; she had to watch very closely just to catch the gentle raise and fall of his chest. Namine actually caught her self staring at his well toned arms, and even at his Pecs, a couple of times. The shirt he was wearing was a little too small across the chest causing them to stick out.
After class Namine just knew she had to talk to him. She had to know his name. She took off after him but had to yell to get him to stop. He did turning with that questioning look on his face. She walked up to him nervous as hell; her stomach was doing back flips.
"Hey," she said trying to get her voice to stay even.
"Hi" he said. Her knees almost buckled, his voice was just as amazing as his eyes. "Can I help you?" he asked.
"Um, I wanted to introduce myself," she said 'and find out your name'. She extended her hand "I'm Namine Richmond,"
He stared at her hand for a second, inside Namine pleaded for him to take it. He finally did. "Riku Carlyle," he said.
Namine panicked "well it was nice meeting you Riku, I'll see you around," and she left. Inside she was yelling at herself for not saying something else.
End Flashback
The bell yanked Namine from her thoughts. She stuffed her things in her bag haphazardly and left the room.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
With Riku's second weight training class out of the way he only had one more. He took the last two periods off. He sat on the bench press waiting for the rest of the class to get there when Sora came in.
"Hey Riku," he said "I didn't know you had this class."
"Three weight trainings remember?" he replied.
"Oh yeah, duh," said Sora slapping himself in the forehead. Riku smiled.
"Hey you wanna give me a spot?" he asked sticking his thump at the bar laden with two hundred and sixty pounds of weight.
"Holy crap!!!" exclaimed Sora "what s your max?"
"Two ninety five," said Riku lying down on the bench.
"Damn," said Sora moving to spot him. Riku smirked and lifted the bar. He brought down to his chest and back up with out any trouble, in fact it wasn't until his fifth and final rep that he needed a little help.
"Thanks," said Riku and sat up. "What do you rep?"
"Two hundred," said Sora.
"Ok," said Riku and moved to help him put weight on one of the other bench presses. Once the got the weight on Riku moved to spot him. "Hey, what do you know about Namine," he asked.
"What do you mean?" asked Sora lifting the bar off the rack.
"Well what's she like," asked Riku.
"Well," said Sora pumping the bar up and down once "she's really shy, hardly ever speaks to anyone but us. Oh and she loves to draw."
"Really?" asked Riku intrigued.
"Yeah, and she's really good," said Sora finishing his third rep. "Once she drew me and Kairi. Although she almost never lets anyone see her art work.
"Really? Hmmm I wonder why," said Riku helping Sora rack the weight.
"She's gets embarrassed, she doesn't think she's as good as she actually is," said Sora. "Why so interested?"
"Just wondering," said Riku.
"Uh huh, sure," teased Sora. This earned him a smack in the back of the head. "Hey," yelled Sora in mock anger. Riku smiled and headed for the lat pull.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
After weight training was over he had about an hour and a half to kill so he headed for one of the student lounges to do his English. He sat on one of the comfy couches and set his English notebook on the table to work his essay. It was slow going and very boring and took about forty minutes to do. After he finished Riku reclined back and laid his head on back of the couch with his hands folded behind his head.
The bell rang signaling that sixth was over. Riku stood up, leaving his notebook on the table, and left the room. He walked to the drinking fountain and took a swig. Then he looked down the hall and saw Roxas walking his way. At first Riku thought 'Crap here we go again; but he realized that Roxas hasn't noticed him yet. Riku ducked behind an open locker receiving a very strange look from its owner. Riku shook his head and peaked down the hall. The locker owner shrugged and went back to doing whatever they had been doing.
After Roxas passed Riku dashed back down the hall and into the lounge he'd been occupying earlier. He laid down and started to doze. He slipped in and out of consciences for awhile and just as he slipped into the void he heard the door open. He awoke and sat up yawning. He looked towards the door and saw non other than Namine standing in the doorway.
"Hey," he said rubbing his eyes sleepily "what you doing?"
"Uh," Namine seemed to search for the right words "I come in here every day to wait for the others to get done,"
"Oh," said Riku "that's what I'm doing, waiting for everyone to get out everyone to get out of school." They dropped into silence just sort of watching each other. "So are you gonna sit down?" Riku finally asked.
"Oh, uh, sure," said Namine and moved to sit across from him. He watched her pull her sit down and stare at the floor for a bit. However just as he was about to say something she reached in to her bag and pulled out a sketchbook and box of colored pencils. She pulled her legs up on the chair she was sitting in, set the book against them, and started to draw. Riku on the other hand mentally slapped himself across the face four times before lying back down on the couch where he soon slipped into the abyss.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Namine sat in the chair drawing a sunset when she looked up to see the young man she was currently sharing the room with fast asleep. She looked at his face, mixed emotions swept through her. She was happy because she could finally draw a full breath, for some reason whenever he was in the room she couldn't breathe. However she was sad because she could no longer see those beautiful Cyan eyes. The shine they radiated was so full of life, but now her sight of them was cut off.
She watched him sleep from afar too scared she'd wake him to get any closer. Like the first time she'd seen him, it was very difficult to tell he was breathing. The steady rise and fall of his chest was slowed. At times Namine would worry because there would be a good twenty to thirty seconds between breaths. He looked so peaceful laying there, so serene, at ease. Not like when he was awake, one of the things that interested Namine so much was the look in Riku's eyes. Even they were so beautiful, and the shined so bright. Deep within their depths there was an overwhelming sadness.
Finally, unable to resist temptation, Namine stood from her seat and walked over to the couch he was sleeping on. The gently sat down next to him and took an even closer look at his face. It revealed nothing; except that was before a single tear escaped out from under his eyelid. It slid down his cheek to fall and soak a tiny spot in the couch. Namine was stunned, for the first time he actually should human qualities, before he seemed kind of unfeeling but seeing that tear rocked her world and shattered her mental image of him. She got up and went back to her chair to finish her sunset.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Riku awoke with a start as someone burst in to the room. He looked around in alarm and saw Sora standing in the doorway.
"Oh Riku, you're here too," he said smiling "well physically anyway." He smiled and sat in the second chair in the room. "so did either of you figure out what to watch?" it took Riku a second to realize what he was talking about but finally he shook his head.
"Damn," said Sora "I looked on the internet to see what was playing and honestly nothing sounded all that good to me.
"Dude," said Riku sleepily "I own like a million DVDs. Do you all want to just come over and watch one?" Namine looked up when he said this, before she had seemed completely uninterested in the conversation.
"Uh, I'll have everyone meet us here," said Sora whipping out his phone.
"Whatever," Riku and laid back down and closed his eyes. He didn't get to sleep though because everyone soon joined them. Sora stated Riku's proposal which after some thought and conversation, most agreed to it. Riku only half listened to the conversation until his name was said. He looked at Sora who said...
"Uh, Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie can't make it, so it's you, me, Kairi, Namine, Pence, Ollete, and Hayner. That cool?"
"Uh yeah" said Riku forcing himself to focus.
"Only thing is that we don't know where you live," said Kairi.
"Well I guess it's a good thing I do then huh?" said Riku. It earned him a laugh for from everyone, everyone except Namine a small smile did cross her lips however. Riku stood up "meet me out front in five minutes," he said and headed for the door. He went to his locker and opened it. He put his notebook inside and pulled out his helmet, and then he headed for the front he found all his friends there. They all headed outside and to their respective vehicles all but Namine.
"Hey," said Riku "you want a ride?"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Namine's heart skipped a beat. He wanted her to ride on his motorcycle.
"Uh, sure," she said forcing a smile even though she was very nervous and slightly scared.
"Cool," said Riku. She followed him to his bike and watched as he climbed on. After he was on she followed, swing her leg over the bike and sitting behind him. She wrapped his arms around his torso and hung on as tight as she could. He started the bike and put it into first gear. "Hold on," he said to her and took off. She had to lay her head against him to keep the wind off her face. His back was firm but not uncomfortable. It flexed as handled the bike, turning and the sort. The ride lasted about fifteen minutes. Once they got to Riku's house she climbed off and waited for him.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
After Namine got off the bike Riku quickly dismounted and led the way to the door. Once inside Riku showed everyone the entertainment room where the TV and DVDs were. Then while everyone looked at his DVDS he excused himself to use the bathroom. He bounded up the stairs and into his bathroom. Once there he leaned against the vanity and gasped for breath. He'd been practically holding his breath the whole ride home. Namine's touch was like a cold flame, he felt like he could do anything with her arms wrapped around him. After he regained his composure he went back down stairs and joined everyone.
They had decided to watch P.S. I Love You apparently the women and Pence had out voted the rest in Riku's absence. Not like it would have mattered Riku would had voted for it anyway. Riku offered popcorn which everyone gladly accepted, asking Namine to help him, Riku headed down stairs.
The movie lasted awhile and by the end all the girls plus Pence and Sora were crying. Hayner looked at the crying boys in disgust telling them they needed man up. This earned him a sharp cuff up side the head from Ollete. Riku just smiled and watched tears roll down Namine's face, even when she cried Riku thought she was beautiful.
Riku heard the downstairs door open and without a word he raced from the room and down the stairs leaving everyone present dumbfounded. Riku gave his mother a tight hug and pulled Kim out of her arms. Holding her close to him hey spun in a circle.
"What's with all the cars outside?" asked his mom.
"Oh, I have some friends over and we're watching movies," said Riku
"Oh, ok," she said "Do I get to meat any of them?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah sure come on," said Riku and headed up stairs. They went into the entertainment room where Riku introduced his mother to his friends. It was getting late though so many of them had to head home.
"You need a ride home?" Riku asked Namine.
"No that's ok Sora's giving me one," she replied swinging her bag onto her shoulder.
"Oh, ok," said Riku. He walked them to the door and outside where he shook hands with all the guys and got hugs from all the girls. Namine was the last to hug him, this hug seemed longer than the others but he thought it could have just been his imagination, or just wishful thinking. After all his friends left Riku went upstairs to clean up. He threw the loose pieces of popcorn into the bowl and rearranged the sofa cushions. That was when he noticed a folded piece of paper where Namine had been sitting. He picked it up and unfolded it, what he found caused his heart to miss a couple beats.
It was like looking in a mirror. It was a picture of him, though in this his eyes seemed a lot brighter. He sat on the couch and looked at for a while trying to figure put where it came from. The answer hit him like an over hand right, right to the jaw.
'She loves to draw," said Sora "and she's really good at it." Riku smiled and looked at the picture that he now knew Namine had drawn. Maybe living here wouldn't be so bad after all
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
