Tke: … I guess, I had inspiration for this fic, or chapter really.
Riku: Inspiration?
Tke: yeah for depression
Riku: … what happened?
Tke: my dad (not step dad) is saying my friend was saying thing about him at this one party. When both my best friends there were by my side because they'd never met that side of my family before.
Riku: and they were with you the whole time?
Tke: hai
Riku: and he was lying to you, what a bastard.
Tke: yet he says my friend is lying. I don't believe that considering, she wasn't even the one to told me that.

REVIEW REPLIES (HAVEN'T DONE THESE IN A WHILE, SORRY! D:)
Xwolfdevilx: I agree with you, screw Riku, and let's care about Sora!
Riku: HEY!!
Tke: too bad, so sad.
Shadowtailmon: I will update! See, I update!
Black Juju: hehe, I can be fickle too; that's happened to me. Naminé doesn't have to really do much when the two 'get-along', but when her cousin's in need, she's at his side in an instant. Yeah, I just had this creepy imagine of Riku waking and wanting more sex, that was a nightmare after I put up the chapter. Hehehe. Dude, that's an awesome song, MCR ROCKS!! YAY!! Drunken sex is good, very good… I think…
Shrouded-obsession: isn't it horrible that Riku doesn't want more?! I wanted to write more, really on the couple, really! But nooooooo, Riku has to be a DICK!
Unimaginable: Here ya go! More!!
Kawaii-yaoi-overdose: I agree, I do prefer Sora as uke, but considering he's older, been through more in life, and is more drunk, he's seme. Maybe I'll have one lemon where Riku gets it, but it's sometime uncomfortable for me to make a younger person uke.
ChaosHarbor: Really?! Thank you!! I'm amazed you read all six chapters in the night! Hehe, thanks for liking it.
Sora's Savior: T.T Dude, un-sugar high, feel SO bad for you. But I agree; EVERY story should have a little angst, even if it's joking angst. Well, not every, not like humorous one-shots or whatever. I'm sure you know what I mean. Hehe.
Flyingkat: hands over tissue trust me, I nearly broke down writing it, so you're good. I'm updating! But it might not be a happy moment thing… sweatdrop
Kiraracutie: Does Riku ever listen? Now that Riku is separate from Roxas, Roxy and Axel will have a bigger role. So will Naminé, don't worry. And you say I need to update, what about YOU?! Cholesterol-woman. (Your new superhero name :P)
.Battery.: runs away YOU KNOW THEY'LL GET BACK TOGETHER!! I PROMISE THEY WILL!!
Saber Kon: I want to try that Steven Colbert ice cream I love him. Hehehe. But yay, ice cream! My dentist would HATE you. Not that I care. Riku needs some kind of tension or crying thing in his life, ya know?
Bliss: I'm taking that as an update soon, thanks for the review!
B-nothing: thank you for loving all my stories! I feel great to have such awesome fans!
Draco's Worst Nightmare: I believe you're working on it. Trust me, I do. And Riku will realize his mistakes, sooner or later. How long can one resist SORA? Wink

Chapter 7:
The Road Of PainX.X.X.X.X.X
"Riku, you want breakfast?"
Riku shook his head softly, "No mom."
"But you ALWAYS eat breakfast!" She answered softly, brushing some of her hair from her face and placing a hand on his forehead, "Riku, you haven't eaten or gotten up from this house in a week, what's wrong?" She brushed some hair from his face to see him better, "You never stay home from school unless you're completely sick, and you've stayed for home for a week!"
"I'm fine mom." He offered with a weak smile, "I just… am really tired from tests."
She nodded, kissed his forehead softly, "The maids are downstairs if you need anything."
He nodded, watching her shuffle out before burying his face in his pillow. He couldn't BELIEVE this was happening to him.
There was still that small pain in his backside, but that didn't hurt as bad as the war raging within himself.
Part of him was horrified he slept with a man, with Sora no less! That side told him he did a good job.
The other part felt horrible for running away from him, punching him and hurting him. That side felt horrible, exclaiming they needed to talk.
Riku huffed, rubbing his nose with his hand.
Could he ever make the right decision?
Not lying on this bed would he.
He sat up, grabbing on a pair of pants and shirt from his messy room floor and ran downstairs.
"Riku?" His mom echoed from the kitchen.
"I'm going out for a bit!" He called out, pulling his shoes from the small hallway and taking off his slippers. Within a second he was out the door towards his destination.
X.X.X.X.X.X
A destination he didn't have.
Riku paused, standing in a super market isle, looking down the shelves at the many different types of baked breads. It was quite a popular little Japanese superstore, so when they had simple orders, they'd display them across the way so they could take the more complicated orders. But the bread wasn't the only thing in the isle, so Riku would some times have to edge around others, thankfully today it was clear.
He looked down at a packet of different things to put in onigiri.
He bit his lip, 'Sora loved onigiri.'
He reached for the item.
Only to have pale hand reach it first.
Riku looked up, eyes wide, and coming face to face with ice blue eyes.
"Na… miné…?" He whispered, moving his hand off the item.
Instead of answering she simply grasped the packet firmly, put it in her carrier and continued shopping.
Riku froze, watching Naminé walk down the isle, turn and walk to a different isle.
Had he really just been ignored?
"NAMIN—!!" Roxas had come rushing by the front of the isle, seeing Riku half way through it and stomping over to him, "YOU!!"
"Riku." Riku muttered softly, mind buzzing with questions.
"Tell me what's happening with Sora!" Roxas loomed over him, standing there and raising his hand towards Naminé's directing and breathing harshly in Sora's face.
"What?" Riku whispered, eyes widening.
"You explain to me what Naminé just told me!"
"I have no idea—!!"
"You tell me why she said Sora hasn't eaten or drinking anything in a week!"
'WHAT?!' His mind scream, telling him to scream it also, but the only thing said was, "I haven't been there this week."
He watched Roxas stomp off, muttering something about 'how he was going to kill the person that did this to Sora'.
He looked back towards the onigiri package.
Sora wasn't eating?
He grabbed the package, turning down an isle and grabbing a bag of rice.
X.X.X.X.X.X
"Sora, please eat?" Naminé asked, pushing the plate of onigiri she just made towards the brunette.
Sora frowned, staring at the plate.
"Please?" She whispered again.
Sora looked away for a minute before his eyes trailed back to the onigiri.
DING-DONG!
Sora watched as the blonde girl sighed and got up, walking out to answer the door.
Naminé glanced at him before exiting the room and reaching the door. She opened it and glared, "What?"
Immediately her eyes softened, coming face to face with aquamarine eyes.
"Riku…" She whispered.
Riku gave a weak smile, pulling his hand out from behind his back to show a plate of badly molded animal onigiri. The plastic wrap secured the plate; glossily showing it's contents. "T-this is for…"
Naminé's lips pursed, she frowned and hardened her eyes, "I don't take things from random people."
Riku frowned, "O-oh…" He watched Naminé shut the door. He quietly placed the plate on the doorstep, bowing at the house and whispering his wish before running towards his best friend's house.
Naminé reopened the door, picking up the plate and pulling it inside. She set them on the table in front of Sora before taking her plate and moving to the kitchen. She took a bite of one before peeking through the doorway.
She knew Sora could tell Riku made them; only he made a cat look like a rat when shaping onigiri.
Sora sat there, eyes turning glossy before he looked around. Naminé hid herself for a second before popping back into her hidden place to watch Sora.
Sora smiled, a true, happy, perfect smile.
Naminé broke into a grin.
The brunette picked one up, took a bit and smiled a little more.
Naminé smiled, picking up the phone and dialing a familiar number.
X.X.X.X.X.X
Riku sighed, snuggling into his bed.
What happened to the onigiri he made? Were they still on the doorstep? Did Naminé bring them in and toss them? Did they bring them in and Sora began to smirk at them like the last time they made onigiri? Did Sora even eat them?
His cell phone sat on his nightstand face blank.
Riku got himself comfortable to watch it. He wanted to be perfectly ready when Naminé would call and say 'hey, you coming over today??'
If she even did.
And so he sat there.
And waited.
And waited some more.
He eventually fell asleep.
No phone call to wake him.
X.X.X.X.X.X.X
"Sora?"
Sora paused, finally getting out of the house to turn his first time and see one his more popular enemies, "What?"
"Sora…" Axel tried again, hands on Sora's shoulder, "Have you eaten?"
Sora frowned, eyebrow rose, "What's it to you?"
Axel's lips turned into a smirk, "There's the Sora I know."
Sora's lips turned into a smirk also, "There's the Sora you don't know."
Axel nodded, "That's true."
"What do you want?"
Axel's smirk disappeared, "Why is it you won't talk to me?"
Sora glared, "I don't like you!"
Axel's arms folded, he led Sora into an alleyway, hidden from others except for those who looked, "You can't cut everyone from your past life to forget, you're eventually going to have to talk to teachers, maids, butlers, and your parents."
Sora froze, eyes widening, "I-I won't!"
Axel frowned, "Sora…"
Sora shook his head, eyes glossy, "No… I cut links off for a reason, Axel…"
"And what happens to the fiancée that wants to see you?" Axel whispered, "And I bet your parents really miss their little boy."
"N-no they don't!" Sora whispered, "Naminé gave them my number and they haven't called once! None of them, they don't fucking care!!"
Axel's arms slid around Sora's back and torso, burying his face in the brunette locks of hair, "… I bet they do…"
Tears sprang from the brunette's throat, burying his face in Axel's chest.
X.X.X.X.X.X
Riku grunted, pushing his way through the crowd, why was there a big mob today?
Oh, the release of that new killer movie.
Riku huffed and made it over crowds of people, almost stepping on someone's dog. The girl had snapped at him before fighting for a place in line.
Riku rolled his eyes making his way towards the small little toyshop at the corner. There had been this new Gundam Wing model out that he wanted to get and—.
Wait…
Was that Axel…?
And that mass of brown hair, slightly shorter than Axel!
Riku frowned, running to the opening of the alleyway.
Axel was standing there, rubbing soothing circles on Sora's back, the brunette soaking them in with more cries.
Riku frowned, he'd never seen Sora cry, but after this moment, he never wanted to see it again.
"Come on Sora." He could hear Axel's whisper, brushing away the tears from Sora's face.
Sora said nothing, rubbing his face with his hand and allowing Axel to lead him out the other end of the alley by the hand.
Riku clutched the bag close to his side, what was Sora crying about? Why was Axel there? Did it have some connection to Axel?
He sprinted after them, hiding behind various things.
X.X.X.X.X.X
"Feel better?" Axel asked, smiling slightly.
Sora shrugged and nodded, "I guess."
Axel grinned, taking a sip of the hot chocolate in front of him.
Sora stared down into his pitch-black coffee, saying nothing.
"Sora, you hate black coffee."
"Says you."
Axel's nose wrinkled, "Roxas said you don't drink it."
Sora glared, "In the mornings or staying up late I do."
Axel rubbed his temples together, sighing, "Fine you win."
Sora glared, raising up his phone and pointing to it, "You wanna ask Naminé?"
Axel chuckled, hands rose in defense, "No, no, no, it's fine."
Sora chucked the phone on the table, "Good, I don't want to call her, she'd yell at me."
Axel shook his head, "We need to get Naminé a boyfriend." He began drumming on Sora's phone.
Sora instantly snatched the phone away, "Yeah, but you and Roxas having her help with the wedding isn't going to do it."
Axel shrugged, "She might find someone at the wedding."
Sora snorted, "Is Roxas wearing the bride's dress?"
Axel snorted, trying to cover his mouth from laughing, "I beg your pardon?"
Sora arched an eyebrow, "Don't play dumb with me, you and Roxas get married in a few months, who's wearing the dress?"
Axel smothered his laughs, "Roxas is."
Sora smirked, "I knew it."
Axel finished his hot chocolate, watching Sora drown his coffee, "Ready to go home?"
"I guess."

"You're having a TV show meeting in two weeks." Leon answered, sitting on Sora's couch.
"A meeting?" Sora asked, lighting up a smoke from nearby and throwing the lighter on the table.
"To make up for lost time."
"Right, whatever." Sora shrugged, looking over at a few paintings, he noticed one very important part.
Leon looked over and noticed it as well.
He glared at Leon, forcing him not to say a thing.
He knew the question.
"Yes."
Leon just smirked.
"Do you notice in your recent ones, you seem to use the colors silver and aquamarine?"

"YOU DID WHAT?!"
Riku sweatdropped, letting Kairi bat him on the head, "Riku!!"
Riku sighed, "I know, I know!"
Kairi frowned, arms crossed, "Well?"
Riku threw his hands outward before dropping them, "Kai, you're my best friend, I came to you for a reason you know!"
Kairi frowned, tapping her chin.
Riku pouted.
Kairi just moved some hair behind her ear, "Let's go see Naminé."
Riku scoffed, "I've tried already."
Kairi just smirked, "Not with me you haven't."
Riku rolled his eyes.
X.X.X.X.X.X
Tke: soooooo, how's it going everyone?
Riku: dude…
Tke: yeah, we know, Axel got a part!
Riku: who cares about that fucker, why was Sora crying?
Axel: And why hasn't he contacted his family?!
Tke: everything will be explained in due time, stop, take a break, enjoy the view, and review.
Axel: I'm not commenting how fishy and rhyme-y it sounded.
Tke: yes, please don't.
Riku: PEOPLE GET PLUSHIES OF AXEL DRINKING HOT COCOA!!
