Silver Never Looked This Good

Riku

I walked back to my bed and opened my suitcase, shuffling through the leather clothing to find my book. I zipped the luggage back up and pushed it off of my bed with a loud thump. My free hand slid through my hair out of habit and I sighed again, knowing that I'd have to unpack sometime.

The velvet covers shifted as I threw myself back onto the bed forgetting my book and instead drifting into a drained sleep. I saw myself standing in the rain, the word sis coming from my lips repeatedly. It's been so long since I've remembered this. I heard the shutting of a door that didn't match my dream and sat up from the bed immediately.

The other boy stood outside the bathroom door holding up a towel that hung loosely over his hips. I rolled to my side and stood so that I couldn't see him. Somehow I managed to force my mind to unpacking my bags. My hands stopped messing with the clothing as I watched the boy drop his towel, his back towards me, and pull on a pair of what looked like silk boxers.

I shifted my head so I couldn't see him and returned to sorting my stuff. A rustle of clothing drew my attention back to the other boy. He stood a little ways away from me, with his hand out as a sort of greeting. I stood taking his hand in mine "Leon." I told him.

"Riku"

For some reason I couldn't bring myself to smile, but I did look him up and down. He wore black jeans that settled low on his hips, reveling a smile and pulled tight against his thighs showing the muscle in his legs. I followed up noticing how he wore a violet shirt that showed almost every muscle in his chest. His silver hair fell to right above his shoulders, his green eyes, barely visible under the bangs, shone with a gleam I know I won't be able to place.

"You going to the party tonight?" His lips glittered in the lighting, wet with lip gloss, and the black eyeliner under his eyes told me he already had plans on going.

"I have no reason to." I tried to smile, but I just stared at him, put hands in my pockets, and sighed. I watched as the boy looked me over smiling when he looked back into my face. I saw her, and I heard her voice again 'Do you want to dance?' I averted my gaze from him and glared at my feet, cursing them for what I knew was my own problem.

"Come on, we'll go together." He grabbed my arm, and for the second time that day I felt myself being drug not completely against will. He took me to the door, pulling it open violently and pushing me through. Running my hand through my hair I followed him through the common and down the hallway.

"Hey Wakka, Tidus!" I listened to him shouting out, why did I like his voice so much? He waved to a red-head and a blonde, the two that I saw leaving the dorm earlier. "Guys, I can't give you a ride this time, I'm taking Leon to the club, but you're still coming right?" The red-head rolled his eyes again.

"Riku, you know that neither of us have cars, how are we supposed to go without a ride?" I stood next to Riku, arms crossed and watched as they tried to work out a plan, I didn't really catch everything they were saying, only knowing when Riku talked. I did find out that the red-head was Wakka, the blonde, Tidus, but I really didn't care.

Knowing better then to stare at Riku I tried to concentrate on the conversation instead of the boy's ass. "Kiari won't let us take her car, she and Sora have a date tonight." Tidus told the other two.

"Get them to come with us on their date!"

"Riku, you know they won't do that. They wanted a date by themselves, one that isn't in some hyped club."

"What's wrong with club dates?"

Wakka finally cut in on the conversation, "Everything, Riku. If you actually settled down instead of jumping from club to club, you'd know that." I watched as the red-head's hand hit the side of Riku's head and I know I gasped, because he looked at me using that same glare as before. "You got a problem?"

I felt myself roll my eyes and cross my arms before replying in monotone "Whatever." Another habit I should try to fix.

"Hey Wakka!" My eyes softened at hearing his voice again. "Fuck it, I'll go with Leon alone, you and Tidus can go on a double date with Kiari and Sora for all I care. But don't go off and insult my fucking room mate, got it?"

I felt my hand being grabbed again, and watched Wakka and Tidus drift further away as we walked. "I have a car." I told him. We stopped and Riku spun on his heels looking up at me. He was shorter then me, if only by about six inches, I hadn't noticed before now.

"Well why didn't you say so? We can take your car, they can take mine." Riku smiled, and I couldn't help but smile back, even if it was only with my eyes. "I've gotta call them." He turned his back to me, and pulled a cell phone from his pocket. I'm not so sure how it fit in the tight pants, but it was in there.

"Hey, I've got it figured out."

"Leon has a car."

"Yeah, we're gonna take his."

"Yes, come get my keys, we've gotta get going."

Riku pressed another button on his phone and shoved it back into the pocket he pulled it from. His green eyes glittered again, and I felt myself smile. It might have been my imagination, but I could have sworn I smiled.

A small tune broke the silence. What the hell's it to me, you still are what I think, keep those pictures around, just to stay awake, I shifted my weight and pulled my phone from my jacket. "Yeah."

"Hey Leon, it's Tifa, Yuffie and I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out."

"I think I've already got plans."

"Really? Where you going? Who do you know that isn't us?"

I pressed the end call button and slid the phone back into my pocket. Tifa would be pissed, but I don't want to put up with her. "Lydia, you know them?"
