A/N: This chapter is kinda short, but the next one makes up for it. Let's see how many understand why Sora's hurtin'. I have a three-day weekend. .
Morning Routine
Sora moaned loudly as the alarm clock shrieked beside his head. He turned it off then sat up on his bed and stretched but quickly fell down as a sharp pain climbed up his back.
"Ack! What happened yesterday?" he looked around the messy room, "Oh yeah."
He rose and stumbled into the kitchen and searched for a pot. After finding one among the mess, he put water in it and placed it on the stove to boil. His stomach growled.
"I'm working on it, buddy," he said, patting his belly. He walked into the living room, searching the floor. There was a pyramid of ramen packages against the wall. He took one off the top and returned to the kitchen. The water on the stove was boiling. Sora ripped open the package and slipped the noodles in then set a timer for three minutes. He went back to his room and began to dress.
Three minutes later, the timer went off and Sora walked into the kitchen and stretched for a bowl on the top shelf of a cabinet.
"Ouch!" he put a hand on his back and rubbed the sore spot. He found another bowl close by and used it instead. He sat down on a small sofa and began to eat.
The phone rang and Sora answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Sora."
"Rikus, heysh!"
"What are you doing?"
"Eashing."
"Swallow."
Sora paused. "Okay. Better."
"Are you ready for work?"
"More or less."
"I'm walking out the door."
"Crap! Okay. Shee yasin a minute!" Sora slammed the phone down and nearly choked on the noodles in his mouth as he ran to his room to find a shirt. He found one shoe then searched for the other with shirt in hand. After finding the shoe's brother under the couch and tied it on he started slipping his shirt on over his head. Riku walked through the door and silently watched the other boy struggle with his shirt.
"That's not safe."
Sora successfully pulled the shirt over his head and adjusted it. "What? Being naked?"
Riku chuckled, "Depends on the situation, but I meant having the door unlocked."
"I knew you were coming and that you would just walk right in," Sora said trying to defend himself.
"So you were naked just for me? How sweet."
"Only half-naked and I was putting my shirt on. Reverse strip tease."
Riku laughed, "Let's go." He started to walk out the door and Sora bounced out after him.
A/N: I can't believe I described him making ramen. The pain in his back? Didn't get it? You will ...hmm ...chapter after next. Yep. The inside of my hat smells funny.
