"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FUCKED RIKU!"
My brother shouted at me at the highest point of volume his voice could go. The three of us, Xion included, were standing in the parking lot by my car. The news I had given must have been a lot since my brother was shouting, hopefully, no one was around.
"Can you not say "fuck" and "Riku" in the same sentence," I asked my brother. Only to be shot down by an angrily glance by the blue-eyed twin of mine. Xion, on the other hand, asked me:
"When did this happen?" Xion asked me. And this is where the shit hits the fan.
"Remember the party we went to last weekend? The one…what's his name was hosting?"
"Tidus Blitz ball celebration?" Xion asked. I snapped my fingers at her and nod my head.
"Yes, that is the one!" I started. "After the Struggle game, we decided to go to the party as a victory celebration. The KeyBlade holders were there as well because of their victory."
"Sora…" Roxas started, cutting me off in my explanation. "Try to cut this story to at least five minutes."
"Okay!" I tell him. "Long story short, I go into a drinking game and got drunk. As I am looking for teammates, I find out that they all went home. I try looking for Kairi, but she went home, so being drunk…I went for the next thing…I could use for a ride…"
"You went to Riku?" Roxas asked in shock.
"Actually, it didn't really go down like that," I tell him as I begin to remember the events that night.
(Flash Back)
Have you ever gotten so drunk that the world is spinning and your happy but you are not fully gone from the world? But, you're a step away from falling into the dark void of drunkness…that was me that night.
Stumbling past the busy and happy people, I make my way to the end of Yuna's House. Yuna was the daughter of this high and might man that can summon creatures, so she was rich basically. She is also a badass gunslinger! Anyway, I had made my way to the back yard of the house, Once there, I found myself standing in front of a pool watching multiple kids make out and do...whatever.
Walking over to the side, I passed a couple of chairs and tables that matched the exotic scenery of the backyard pool. Once by the poolside away from the kids, I take a seat by the edge, removing my shoes, I dip my feet into the cold water and enjoyed myself. At that point, I think I was trying to sober up. My mind was racing with ideas on how to get home.
"Maybe I could call a carriage?" I thought out loud. My voice reached the ears someone behind sitting at one of the chairs. Soon I heard the creaking sound of furniture moving, causing me to look over my shoulder. There, I saw Riku sitting down with his phone in hand.
"Riku!" I shouted with a smile, causing him to look up from his phone and give me his attention. "Where's Kairi?"
"I don't know," Riku responded. I don't know why I did this, but I stood up from the side of the pool and walked over to him. Taking a seat on the chair next to him before looking at his phone. Apparently, he was texting Kairi! What a lair.
"You are an asshole." I chuckled as I read his text.
"Kairi is pissed that I am here and not with her and her friends," Riku responded before turning off his phone. "Truth be told, I have been thinking about breaking up with her. Lately, didn't want to tell her over the phone though..."
"Eh, Kairi is loud and mean, but she does have a nice side once you get to know her," I tell him before chuckling. "A very small nice side."
"Yea, like her paranoia and her constant need of controlling people," Riku growled in annoyance before looking over at me. "Did you know she thinks I am fucking someone right now? As if I actually had the time to have sex."
"Don't you have a history of screwing a lot," I said in a dead-pan voice. And I wasn't Lying, Riku was a very popular guy, he had gotten around...
"I have a high libido, so does all kids my age, sue me!" Riku growled at me. I couldn't help but chuckle at his words. I don't know, being drunk can really make things easier for me on time. Riku, who stared at me for a bit, soon followed in chuckled.
"Your right…" Riku chuckled. "I shouldn't be getting this deep into it. Besides, it is not like we're going to last. Rumors have it that she's fooling with someone else. Someone who is part of the honored 13."
"No." I chuckled, Kairi would never hang with someone from the honored 13! She thinks their all jerks!
"Yea, the rumor is they have been seeing each other for a while. Kairi might be dating me as a disguise for this secret affair." Riku explained. "Being the son of an evil sorceress has its perks you know."
Riku said, at that moment, all the horrible memories of my childhood suddenly appears before me. Every scene of an awful moment in my mind flashing, showing me all the bad to worse things that had happened to me and my siblings…all because of my father.
If it wasn't for Ventus and Vanitas always by my side watching me, protecting me, teaching me right from wrong, I would probably be a horrible person. Riku on the other hand, he doesn't have siblings, and his mother's a bitch! So magic only knows what exactly kind of shitty life he had.
"Yea, I know the feeling," I tell him before looking down at his empty hand that hovers over his cell phone. His hand looked so lonely like it wanted someone to be right by it… I don't know why, but when I get drunk, I become less smart and more sympathetic towards people.
Reaching over, I grabbed his hand and held it tightly. His hand was soft but firm. You could really tell he's been fighting a lot in his life. The rough texture of his finger where he grips the handle of his blade was extra rough.
He turns his head to the side to see my hand holding his. Soon, he cracks another smile before saying:
"I see your drunk." Riku chuckled before standing up. Soon, I found myself on my feet with his long arm around my waist.
"Let's take you home." He chuckled. Soon, I found myself being pulled through the crowd of happy drunk, horny and just plan stupid kids. I even saw Demyx unconscious on the couch having penises drawn on his face. I couldn't help but laugh at all the colors and faces I saw as Riku dragged me through the crowds. Soon we were outside in the parking lot full of cars.
Riku soon drags me to the newest Gummie car, pitch black and with the latest engine magic could make! It was a Gummi dream drop distance model, 2.9-X! Ugh, it had rims, magical blue fire, and side wings in case you wanted to use this baby in battle. This must have cost a fortune!
"Come on!" Riku tells me as he opens the door. Soon I was pushed into the back seat of the car. Laying on my back, I stared up at the neon red roof with green heart prints that glew with the rest of the lining in the car.
"Don't puke in the back seat," Riku tells me as he climbs into the driver's seat. All I did was laugh as I turned my body. Watching him put the keys into the incision, the car starts up. Hearing that engine rattle made the hairs on my back rise up. The vibration from the back seat where his engine was just caused me to tingle all around.
"You okay back there?" Riku asked.
"Fine! I have such a ball being in your car!" I tell him. "I wonder, how many girls you screwed back here."
"In total…" Riku started. "I think I had about seven girls and maybe three guys. Give or take if you count three ways."
"Three guys?" I asked.
"I go both ways." He responded in a calm voice as if he didn't care what he had just told me. Which was a shock to me! And, at the time, I didn't know that! This was news to me because I thought…or morally heard he was a ladies man! Then again, our school was known as for…both gender dating, and-or experimenting.
"Huh, …you have a boyfriend?" I asked as I rise up from my seat. Once up, I saw that he was driving on the road. Huh, must have been laying there for a while. Because I didn't even know we backed out of the parking lot yet.
"I had only one. We didn't work out since he was older than me. Plus, he was too obsessed with his siblings, I found it a bit creepy." Riku explained to me. I wonder who would be crazy enough to date Riku? Oh, wait, Kairi!
Standing up from the seat, I crawled between him and the passenger seat gap before landing face first in the passenger seat. A few chuckles and face kicks to Riku, I was finally able to sit correctly on the seat. Looking over to Riku, I could see that he was watching the road carefully. It was…sort of cute to watch him drive. His eyes glued to the road, focusing on the grey concrete.
"Have you ever had a relationship with someone that lasts more than a month?" I asked. Shrugging his shoulder, I could see that he was thinking hard on the question.
"I…" He started. "I try to have a relationship, I do. I fall for the person and see things through. But, in the end, its always the same. The person only dates me because I am the bastard child of two high power figures. Or sometimes, I have money, position, power, rumors, and looks. That's all anyone ever see's, to be honest."
"Riku…"
"After getting my heart broken so many times, I just decided to say fuck it and have fun." He tells me. I could feel the atmosphere around me become serious, very hard to breathe in. I didn't know if it was his magic engulfing me, forcing me to feel his emotions, or if it was just a natural feeling. Either way, I decided to change the subject by saying:
"So…what types of boys are you into?" I chuckled, changing the subject. Riku shrugs again before saying:
"It's not boys per-say. I like people who in touch with both their light and darkness." He started. "We are all taught to stay in the light, never to go towards darkness. To eat, live, breath and worship the light for it created us and shit. And I hate that about people."
"Why?" I asked, and he was being truthful about the light.
Since birth, we as children look up to the light in the world and in ourselves. We trained to harvest it and use it to fight the heartless that plaguing our worlds. It's like a religion if you think about it, stay in the light you will be fine. But some people don't believe in that.
For where there is light, it will always cast a shadow of darkness.
Darkness is something we all have but we are trained to reject. Darkness is the dark force that some people can handle, others cant. Those who use darkness are considered to either be masters or very bad people. I don't know much about darkness, but when I can tell you is that darkness isn't that bad.
"Because the greys are the best. They accept both parts of themselves." Riku says.
"How is it like to be grey?" I asked him.
"Its…challenging," Riku informs me.
Remember the talk about light and darkness. Well, some people are raised to accept the darkness in them more than the light. Those people are good and bad…etc. When a person who's harvest the darkness in their heart mate with someone who's harvest the light, they create a grey. Someone who can be accepted by both and those types of offsprings are rare. Which is one of the reasons why Riku is popular! Imagine having the power to yoke both light and darkness? It would be awesome, but also, quite terrifying.
"People would sometimes want me to try to control heartless with my magic. Sometimes it works, some times it doesn't." Riku says. "Speaking of magic, what is in front of your house?"
Riku asked me. Looking straight forward, I saw my house had a blue-yellow force field around it. I guess it was past curfew because Donald had put on the force field around the house. It was a magical shield that protected the house in case heartless were to break in.
"My dad put up a shield, guess I will sleep in the back yard tonight," I tell him.
"Can't you turn the shield off?" He asked me.
"Not unless I wake up Donald, and he turns off his phone at night, so…" I explained. I reached for the passenger door, only for it to lock itself. Looking over to Riku, I saw him pulling out of my driveway as he looks over his shoulder.
"What are you doing?"
"You can sleep at my place," Riku tells me.
"I am fine Riku." I chuckled. I think this was the moment I should have hopped out the car and say good night. But I didn't, this was the first step of mistakes I had made for the night. Especially when he was pulling out of my driveway.
"Are you sure? Maleficent is mean." I tell him.
"Naw, I am spending the week with my dad and stepmom," Riku tells me before driving away from my house. As we drove, it suddenly hits me like a rock to the face, how did Riku know where I lived? Did I tell him?
"So...Mickey," I responded. He glances over to me before looking back onto the road.
"Being the…magical bastard son of a high-end figure has its ups and down in child court," Riku explained.
"How exactly did a mouse and a… fairy…create you?" I asked. At this point, the liquor begins to kick in harder! My vision was started to blur and come back to me, making it hard to concentrate on Riku's face.
"Magic, a lot of magic and potions and I just don't want to get into it," Riku tells me, I could sense he was uneased by my words. I don't know why…or what possessed me to do what I did at that moment…but I did it!
I moved my hand over to his hand that was resting on the stick shift. Placing it on top of his, I give it a light squzze. Riku doesn't turn his head, but he does look at me for a second with his eyes. He didn't seem angry at me…nor weirded out by it considering he didn't move his hand at all. In fact…he shifts it a bit to allow his thumb to rub against the edge of my hand. Enjoying the feeling.
Once my sense's started to come, I notice a bright blue castle in front of me. Covered in fairy dust, I could smell the wealth and magic from inside Riku's vehicle. Soon, we were inside the garage of the castle in a flash, much to my shock. Once the car was parked and Riku turned off the engine, I got out of the car. Falling straight to the ground on my shoulder. Riku runs over to my side and picks me up with ease, using the side of my waist as he lifts me up to my feet. I couldn't help but to giggle and lean against him as I tried to stand.
"You are not a drinker." Riku chuckled as he moves me to the stairs around the garage. Helping me up, I soon found myself in the lobby with Riku scanning the area. He looks around the area before dragging me across the well decorative area. Holding me by the hand, he escorts me to the throne room before stopping when we both heard a voice.
"RIKU DREAM DROP DISTANCE GUMDROPS ARE YOU DOING AT THIS HOUR!?"
A voice shouted one we both knew very well. Looking in the direction of the voice, we saw a small mouse wearing a light blue bed grown robe. It tightly wraps around her body while flowing on the bottom. Riku sighs a little as he hides me behind a thick pillar. I couldn't help but lean against his back as he hides me. I soon realized he was a few inches taller than me. It's funny, I knew Riku for nearly three years, yet I never notice his hight till now.
"Hey Mini, I see you are up." Riku awkwardly chuckled as he tried to keep his cool, he didn't want Minie to see a drunk me behind him.
"Why are you in so late? I thought we had an agreement that you would be here before midnight!? It's almost four in the morning." Minie growled. don't know what came over at that very moment. But I suddenly sobered up to walk out from behind Riku to look at Minnie to shout:
"It's four!?" I shouted. I could hear Riku muttered mean words under his breath. But that was the least of my problems since Goofy was probably in the castle! Oh no, I am in so much trouble!
"Sora, Goofy, and Donald have been worried about you! Where have you been?" Minnie asked me in a stern voice. Suddenly, the liquor kicked in...reneder me stupid yet again! Suddenly, to my rescue, Riku stepped in.
"Funny thing, he and his team won nationals today...well yesterday." Riku started. "And they went out partying since most of them got drunk and Tidus van could only fit a few. Tidus called me to go get Sora."
"Is that why you left so early?" Minnie asked Riku...wait, that would mean Riku did go there for Kairi.
"Yea, I didn't want to leave Sora there. Plus I owed Tidus. Anyway, Sora's house was a magic barrier so I just brought him here. I knew Goofy would be in so I was hoping to find him." Riku explained. Wow, he must have had some major training to lie that well, especially in front of Minnie, queen of light.
"Well, Goofy isn't here yet, but he's on his way. Sora, you are more than welcomed to stay until your father gets here." Minnie said, suddenly my heart stopped when I heard my father's voice behind me.
"I'm just glad he's alright," Goofy spoke. I nearly fell to the ground and screamed. But Riku held me together by placing his hands on my shoulders. Now standing behind me, he rests his chin on my head. I could feel him smiling as well.
"Yep, your boy is fine." Riku chuckled happily.
"I'll inform Donald that you are safe. But I can't take you home at the moment. Do you mind staying in the castle for a bit?" Goofy asked me. I was about to say no and tell him that I would walk home if he called Donald, but Riku had other ideas.
"That's fine, I always wanted a sleepover! Come on Sora, we can play video games till the sun comes up!" Riku says in a high pitched and happy voice. It is weird, every time I heard his voice, I felt as if I was becoming sober a bit, allowing me to stand up and concentrate on the things around me. Goofy smiled at Riku and I, his way of saying OK to Riku's idea. Suddenly, without even a blink of an eye moment, I found myself being dragged to Riku's bedroom.
The room was something you wouldn't expect of a prince. Bookshelves full of various books, multiple keyblades held up by nails on the wall, a desk covered in empty potion bottles, papers and ingredients, and a large bed. Without hesitation, I walked over to the bed and lied down, it was so soft and warm! I don't know why I felt so at home on his bed, but I liked it very much!
"Enjoying my bed?" He chuckled, such a weird man. I didn't even respond, I just laid on my back with a smile...and this is where everything went downhill.
Crawling onto the bed, he hovers over me with those...eyes of his. Glowing a tad bit, making them look like marbles shining in the sunlight. I couldn't look away, for some reason, I wanted to stay like that for a very long time. To stare at his eyes for eternity. To be beneath his warm on top of his bed. Riku wasted no second leaning down to kiss me. The kiss was sweet, like biting into an apple sweet. The juices of the fruit bursting into your mouth as the hairs on your back rise up in joy. It was an amazing feeling...one I regret to this day. As he kissed me, his hand begins to pull at the buttons of my shirt... After that, I think we can all guess what had happened.
(End of flashback)
"You didn't even fight him? Say no or at least think of Kairi?" Xion asked me. Both she and Roxas was just shocked at what I had just explained. Both wide-eyed and completely stunned at my words. I wished I could have explained this better, but that was the only one to give I guess.
"Why would you kiss Riku? Just Riku in general, you know what he is...what you are." Roxas asked me.
"I know...I know." I said in shame before lowing my head down like a sad puppy, or in this case a child filled with regret for his actions.
"So Riku knows," Xion says to us. "You think he will ask questions or leave it alone?"
"It doesn't matter, what matters is us going to school and becoming keyblade masters. Once we get that, we will finally be free of our father and can live our lives." I tell the two. Xion and Roxas glance at each other before looking at me. They said nothing, just nodded their head's in agreement, although I knew in my heart they didn't accept my words. I can't blame them, I was being a bit of a hypocrite of my own words right now. But I couldn't let down, I need them to focus and let me deal with Riku.
