1984

-Riku-

He was agitated, at the least. How did this guy find him at work of all places? There he was sitting there, drinking a milkshake in his uniform. Damn rich kid. Why was that academy kid in this part of town anyway? This was poor town.

"Riku." His boss growled under his breathe.

"Yeah boss?" Riku asked.

He put his hand on his shoulder and brought him close to whisper in his ear. "You make sure that boy gets the best service, you hear? That boy is related to a lot of powerful people. His damn grandfather is the god damn governor of this state. If you want to keep this job and that damn alcoholic you call a father out of jail, I would strongly advise you to go over there and treat him like he's the Goddamn Queen of England!" he muttered harshly as he pushed Riku to the direction the academy kid was at. Riku seethed as he slowly walked over to the boy.

"Hi, my name is Riku. Is there anyway I can help you today sir." Riku bit back a growl.

The boy looked up from his milkshake and smiled kindly shocking Riku.

"You've done enough for me already, I should thank you more than anything. So, thank you Riku for saving me." his smile radiated and his eyes shined.

Riku scratched the back of his head and he felt his face get warm as he looked away. " It was nothing. I just crashed the party that's all."

"Still, thank you." Sora was eyeballing his hair. "Is that your natural hair color?"

"Yeah."

"Wow! that's really rad! I wish my hair could be a cool color like that!"

"You don't have to flatter me." Riku blushed. "It's not like I'm good looking or anything" Riku laughed.

He stood looking baffled. "Dude, are you kidding me? You look like you should be on MTV or something!"

He looked like he realized something before throwing his hand out in front of Riku. "I'm Sora, by the way!" Riku took it, still slightly shocked of how genuinely sweet Sora was.

A car horn beeped and Sora had to leave. But everyday Sora came back to Tiana's Diner and would talk to Riku. At first it was awkward for them but slowly Riku would be at the door smoothie ready just in time for Sora to come in and talk to him. The boss was happy because Sora popping in brought in more customers from the rich part of town, trying to get a chance to talk to Sora. Riku noticed Sora would get agitated at the people and in one day particular, Sora looked like he was about burst. Riku remembered the fire alarm and decided to pull it. The place became drenched. The uptight turds were gone and it was just Sora and Riku in the building. Sora began laughing.

"What a bunch of turds. Guess they didn't need to talk to me that badly." Sora continued to drink from the now watered down milkshake.

"How much do those people bug you?" Riku asked as he pushed his wet bangs out of his face.

"Pretty frequently. Especially if their family is in trouble with the law or if my grandpa is running for re-election again. A bunch of fucking vultures." Sora belched and laughed. "If my mamma heard me belch like that in public she would be so pissed."

"I would probably get slapped in the back of the head." Riku snickered.

"Riku!" The boss was back. "What the hell happened.!?"

"Uh…"

"Riku, ou better answer me now or you're going to get fired!"

Riku really needed this job otherwise his family would be evicted from the trailer park. Riku's heart was racing, he wasn't thinking! She should have never pulled that alarm!

"I pulled it." Sora stated point blank. " I pulled the fire alarm. I'll pay for the expenses."

Riku looked at Sora with utter surprise. No one has done anything like this for him except for his close friends. Sora wrote out a check and apologized and offered to help clean. The diner was closed early and Sora and Riku cleaned until 9 that night. Sora went to the payphone afterwards and called for a ride. On his arrival back to the diner he asked Riku if he wanted a ride home. Riku didn't want Sora to see where he lived, Riku didn't even have a bedroom he slept in the livingroom. He was utterly ashamed of his lifestyle.

"No, Sora, It's okay, I have a ride home already, go ahead home I'll see you tomorrow." Riku smiled, reassuring Sora.

Sora slowly nodded his head and told him he would see him later. But before he left he gave Riku an umbrella.

"You never know." Sora smiled and left as the thunder started to roll.

Riku walked home that night, but he didn't get wet.
