Warning: OOC, cry baby Sora. XD

Sora entered the school nervously; one thought on his mind. He looked up and down the halls as fellow students passed by him. Then he saw him. Riku was standing at his locker, getting his books for his first couple classes. Sora took a deep breath and headed over to him. He tapped him on the shoulder and Riku turned around to see who it was.

Riku's face suddenly went pale and he nearly dropped his books, but caught them just in time, "So-Sora."

"Hey Riku," Sora tried to act calm and normal. Riku spun back around to face his locker and continued to mess with his books, "So, um, if you don't mind, I was wanting to talk about what happened."

"Wha-" Riku's voice squeaked like he had just hit puberty. He cleared his throat and tried again, "What happened? I, um, I'm not sure I know what you mean."

Sora glared at Riku's back annoyed, "Come on, you know what."

Riku looked from his locker to the floor, then slowly turned to face Sora. He brought his eyes up to meet the other boy's, "Look, I'm really sorry about that. I…I so didn't meant it. It was just, ya know, we had spent the whole day looking for chicks and I had gotten all excited and then when I went home empty handed, I had to let those feelings out. That's all it was. Honest. I'm not gay or anything, if that's what you're worried about."

Sora listened, his slight grin fading to a half hearted smile, "Oh…oh, uh, great! Great! I mean, uh yeah, I was sorta wondering about you, but that makes perfect sense," he grinned and rubbed the back of his head.

Riku chuckled, "Yeah, believe me, I am so not into guys. I don't even know what I was thinking! I mean, man, I'm an idiot!"

Sora forced himself to laugh along, "Yeah…an idiot. Well, uh, now that that's all sorted out, I'm gonna head to class."

"Oh, alright. I'll see you at lunch then?"

"Uh, yeah. Sure," Sora flashed a quick smile then turned on his heel and practically ran to class. How could he have been so stupid? Of course it was a mistake.

Sora took his time getting to the cafeteria. He walked in and saw Riku already sitting at the table with his food, "Hey Sora! What took you so long?"

Sora smiled, "Oh, uh. I had to finish up a paper. Didn't want to take it home for homework."

"Oh, well hurry up or lunch'll be over."

"Right. Be right back," Sora got in line, his fake smile disappearing. He stared at the floor as he walked through the line. He paid for his food and slowly made his way over to Riku.

"So, how's your day going?" Riku asked cheerfully.

Sora had all but given up his 'just fine' act. He stared solemnly at his tray and poked at his food with a fork, "Oh, uh. Fine."

Riku looked concerned at his friend, "What's wrong?"

Sora didn't look up, "Nothing. I said I was fine."

"Yeah, remind me never to have you keep a secret, 'cause I can read you like a book."

Sora slowly looked up at Riku, "You hated that kiss, right?"

Riku went quiet with surprise, "What? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was awful! I told you, I'm not gay, so stop worrying. I swear, I'm not gonna like hit on you or anything. Ok?"

Sora looked at his tray again, "You…you didn't like it even a little?"

"No. Trust me! It was disgusting!" Sora seemed to be fighting back tears, "Hey…hey Sora, what's wrong?"

"Nuh-nothing," he quickly turned his head and covered his face with his arm.

"Sora, tell me what's wrong," Riku pleaded.

"It's just…it's…it's nothing," he continued to hide his face.

"Sora, you're crying. It's something."

He snapped back around quickly, "It was my first kiss, ok?! Happy?! It was my first kiss, and you said it was disgusting!" Sora could hear the other kids in the cafeteria whispering, but he didn't care.

Riku sat silent for a moment, "Oh…Sora, I'm sorry. I mean…look, I was just trying to let you know I'm not gay. I'm so sorry. It…it wasn't disgusting. Really. I mean, Hell, if you had been a girl, it would have been a great kiss! I only said it was disgusting 'cause you know, the whole both guys thing."

Sora took a few stuttering breathes and wiped at his face, "Oh…really?"

"Yeah! Totally! I mean, man, I feel so bad now. I mean, I felt bad about doing it, but now I feel really bad knowing it was your first kiss."

"It wasn't bad?" Sora asked.

"No, no. You'll definitely be a lady killer," Riku chuckled.

"But…but you didn't like it," Sora said with a slight tinge of pink to his cheeks.

"Well, like I said, if you had been a girl, it would have been awesome."

Sora grinned slightly, "So…so you did like it."

Riku looked at Sora with a confused smile, "What? You're confusing me. Heh. Ok, let me say this. Yes it was a good kiss. Yes I liked it, but no I am in no way gay. You're a good kisser but you don't have to worry about me hitting on you. That make sense?"

Sora was grinning from ear to ear, "Perfect."

The lunch bell rang and Sora stood up still staring at Riku. Finally he broke his gaze and returned his tray to the kitchen. If everything was supposedly sorted out, then why was Riku even more confused now than he had been to start with?
