A Crush or Love
The day passed relatively quickly for Riku all he remembers doing for the most part was talking to Sora. He still couldn't believe his luck, maybe his school year wouldn't suck after all. He was putting his stuff away when a shadow fell over his desk, looking up he saw the familiar glint of blonde of Sora's friend, Roxas was it he honestly couldn't remember. Looking at the blonde now he could see similarities between him and Sora it was almost like they were twins one had just bleached his hair blonde.
"So because you and Sora are a thing we are all heading over to mine to play video games want to come." Roxas asks him but there was a look in his eyes as if he didn't want to ask him.
"Have you got a problem with me or something?" Riku asked keeping his tone even. What was wrong with this guy one minute he was friendly but the next minute he was totally different it was like he had two different personalities.
"No I just don't know you. And you and Sora just seem to be a thing." Roxas said looking down at the floor as he shuffled his feet. There he goes again it was like he was two different people.
"Well it doesn't look like you want me there and I also have to go home and unpack stuff." Riku say as he gets up out of his chair throwing his bag over his shoulders.
"Okay." Roxas says as Riku makes his way over to the door not stopping to reply.
It didn't take the teen long to get back to his new house. All the way back his mind had been occupied by thoughts of Sora, he smiles he didn't think that he would see him again. Riku walked up the path to the big white house it really dud look cold and unwelcoming. He made it into the hallway of the house and there was still a million boxes in the entry way.
"Mum" Riku shouted to see if his mother was about.
"Hey honey you home. How was school?" A small women asked while walking around some of the boxes.
"It was fine I made some friends. Do you need any help?" He looked at his mother who was struggling with a box with kitchen written on it in black maker.
"Oh I'm fine. Your dad has already put your boxes in your new room." His mother said still struggling with the box.
"Okay I'm going to go change and I'll be back to help my unpacking can wait." He was right his mum needed help and their stuff had just arrived the other day a week late, it was all down to when the van could get their things over on a boat. Once he made his way to his room he slung his bag on his bed and started to get change. He dug through some of the boxes that were marked with Riku's clothes to retrieve a pair of blue jeans. He pulls his hair into a pony tail to get it out of the way, he made his way back down the stairs only to be startled by a loud crash from the lower level of the house. Riku picked up his pace to find out what had made that sound and sure enough he found his mother stood in the kitchen with a pile of pits and pans near her feet.
"Mum are you okay." Riku said going over to his mother and started to pick the pans up putting them on the side.
"I'm fine dear, just a little clumsy moment." She smiled down at her son as he picked up the things around them.
"Honey!" Came a large booming voice from another part of the house, Riku's father rounded the corner to see what had happened.
"Late as normal." Riku's mother said in a joking tone that made Riku smile. His father came over and hugged his wife lovingly. It had been a while since he saw his parents so happy the move must have been for the right reasons.
"Ahh your home. How was your new school?" His father asked when he noticed his as he was sitting on a stool at the island in the middle of the kitchen.
"It was good, I also made friends too." He said to his father who looked down at him and gave him a smile, the look was rather refreshing rather than the stressed out look his used to wear when they lived in the city.
"Wow already that was fast." His father said with shocked eyes. Riku knew that he didn't make friends easily but there was something about this group that did interest him or it could have just been because Sora was with them.
"Yeah, it was because of this lad Sora." Riku said with an absent smile as he thought about the brunette yet again.
"Wasn't Sora the name of that boy you meet in summer." His mother asked as she moved thing from the side to the cupboards.
"Turns out same guy." Riku said looking at her.
"Hmm, well it's good that you have made friends just remember not to neglect your studies" His father said with a stern look that melted away into a smile.
"Well what do you need doing?" Riku turned asking his mother as she unloaded another box.
"Can you move all the boxes for the kitchen in her please." His mother asked with a gentle tone of voice. Riku stood and made his way to the hallway to grab some boxes.
It didn't take long to move all the boxes to their right areas as his mother made her way through the house putting things on shelves and making it look like a home not a cold heartless shell. His father was busy setting up the TV in the living room and then moving on to the other electronics. By the time everyone was finished on this floor it was around 7pm so his mother made the choice to order in because she didn't want to cook.
"Right I'm gonna go to my room if you need me just shout." Riku said taking a plate with a few slices of pizza on it. When he entered his room he put it down on his desk that he was glad his father had already put up. He started to set up his TV and PS4, he moved around his room putting this away hanging posters and photos. Once he was done he moved over to his desk grabbing a slice of pizza and started up his laptop to just check emails and see if anyone from his old school was online. He pulled up his Facebook and saw he had a new friend request when he opened it, he felt his heart skip a beat when he saw who it was. There in the tight hand side of his screen was Sora pulling a face at the camera. He quickly accepted the request and went on to his profile he just kept staring at the pictures of the brunette as he flicked through them.
"He's cute." Came his mother's voice from over his shoulder all Riku could do was agree with her. Sora was cute and funny and the thing Riku liked the most about the boy was his kind nature. It also helped that he has eyes that Riku could look into forever. He shook his head getting rid of the thoughts before his mother saw him blush.
"What did you want?" He asked his mother while minimising the page.
"I came to get your plate." She made a move for the plate that still held a slice of pizza on. He quickly grabbed the piece before she could take it away. She ruffled his hair before she left him to his gawking. It wasn't a bigh secret to his family that he wasn't that into girls as much as he should be, as his father had put it when he told him that he was not sure he liked girl's he simply replied with don't worry we have your brother for that. His parents were really supportive and didn't really mind that he was into boy a lot more.
He reopened the page to find a message in his inbox, Riku was confused at the same time as being lightly giddy like a school girl. He opened the box to find it was from the one person he didn't want to hear from his ex and not from the person he wanted it to be. He began to read the message:
Hey Riku, I know that this is not my place any more but I still love you. Please come and see me I know that you have moved but I don't get why you didn't tell me you were moving. Please talk to me, I miss you and I don't think I can live without you
Riku read through the message feeling a little bit heart broken. All he could really think was why did you cheat one me then you bastard. Yet a pang of guilt entered his gut when he remembered what he did over summer just to get over the heart brake. He closed the message down with tears in his eyes, just thinking about what that dick had done to him, he was happy that they had decided to move. He didn't think he could look at his ex for any much linger without crying or getting mad. A Ding nose came from his computer seeing a chat box open.
Hey! I'm so glad you accepted my friend request."
The message was from the one person he did want to talk to. But yet again he felt that same ping of guilt as he remembered he used the poor boy to get over his dick of an ex.
Hey Sora and it's no problem. But how did you find me so fast?
His Fingers typed as fast as he could, he couldn't let his feeling get in the way of something happening with Sora now that they were in the same place again.
Erm.. it took me while actually :D
Oh I'm glad you took the time to
Well you're a friend, can I tell you something?
Riku looked at the question feeling slightly confused at the boy's question. He quickly typed out his reply back.
Sure
I really wanted to talk to you again after the summer, when you left I wished that I could see you again. And guess what?
What?
My wish came true :D
A blush started to spread across his face at the thought that there was someone who had missed him and still wanted to talk to him. They both charted till an ungodly hour before Riku said goodnight. He really did feel like a giddy school girl who's crush just talked to her. Was Sora a crush though or could he be someone more important to him. He closed his laptop and moved over to his bed getting undressed as he did. Riku flopped down on to his bed letting his thoughts just take him away to sleep.
