KH Three
Riku lived with Sora. He had had it decided by Mickey who looked at his original home and said absolutely not! So he and Mrs. Hamora talked it over and came to an agreement. Mickey would get monthly reports of Riku and he would come every once in a while.
When Riku woke a gentle hand was shaking his shoulder. The boy jerked upright only to have an arm go around his shoulders. "Easy Riku." Mrs. Hamora said looking at the boy's face. Riku let his bangs drop into his eyes hiding them from view. He had another nightmare that he didn't want to talk about. "What has you so tense?" she asked and he said
"Just a bad dream." He didn't look up. Mrs. Hamora knew it wasn't true. However she let it alone making a mental note to tell Mickey.
"Well come on breakfast is waiting." She left and you heard her saying "Sora wake up. Sora!" Riku sighed he got up slowly and walked next door where Sora was still asleep. He opened the curtains wide smiling.
"Riikuuu!" the brunette whined as the sun s shone into his eyes. He pulled the covers over his head. Riku smirked then pulled the covers off the bed completely. Sora threw a pillow at him which he dodged grinning. "Come on breakfast is ready."
"You could have like shaken me."
"I've tried remember? You said that if I ever did that again you were going to throw pillow at me which you just did!" the brunette stuck out his tongue and Riku returned it laughing. He turned and disappeared.
When Riku came down Sora was already eating. He rolled his eyes and sat down beside him. The teen looked up at Riku his gaze studying him. When he swallowed he said "Still see them." He pointed to the circles before Riku looked away. He didn't like to talk about it. He ate quickly keeping his head down and away from eyes. Sora was frowning his eyes watching the boy. "Riku—"
"Sora I'm fine." Riku said looking up.
"No you're not. There's no way you can be!" the younger said stubbornly. The boy sighed and stood.
"It doesn't matter anyway." He said placing his dishes in the sink "We have to leave for school." He left and tried to wash the circles away. He felt like he would never sleep as well as he use to do.
At school the boy tried to hide them most of the students didn't really notice only Kairi and Sora did. "You shouldn't have come." Kairi said at lunch. Riku wasn't eating he was half awake. "It's not good for you to be half awake all night!"
"I know, but-" he trailed off sighing. "What could I have done? Sora and I are already behind."
"I know, but Riku!" Kairi said. She sighed angrily. Sora looked between them.
"She's right Ku just try to get some sleep tonight." Riku nodded, but he wasn't promising. It wasn't easy anymore. Now his dreams were filled with Ansem and the heartless and his actions. He hated Ansem and wished he was dead. Sure his physical presence was gone, but that didn't mean he wasn't gone from haunting Riku. No matter what anyone tried to tell him Riku was convinced that the darkness in him wasn't his.
After school Riku walked back with Sora. He went to his room and tried to sleep, but every time he drifted off the nightmares would come and the teen would sat bolt upright eyes wide. After a couple of times this happened he went to find Sora. He was in his room and Riku sat down beside him. Why was it that whenever he was around the brunette he felt most comfortable? Sora put an arm around him. "Can't sleep." Riku muttered. The teen beside him frowned. "Ansem pleaguing my dreams plus…" he didn't know what to say so he fell into silence. He lay back on the bed and smiled again. He looked at the brunette and sighed. His eyes closed silver locks dropping to cover the eyes. There was silence then, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It was peaceful and soon the teen drifted off.
