Love me, Hate me

Chapter nine: First date! Ooh la la!

By: LostMySightToLight

Sora stood there in front of his house waiting for Riku to arrive. Man, this is nervewrecking! He thought. The wind hit Sora's cheeks, making them red from the cold air. Still no sign of Riku... The brunette grew impatient with every minute that passed. It all started the other day, when Riku finally asked him out...

(FLASHBACK...PLEASE KEEP ALL HANDS AND FEET INSIDE THE VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES...)

"Sora, I was wondering if...maybe we could..."

The brunette stopped eating and raised a suspicious eyebrow. "'We could' what? What are you trying to say?"

"Maybe we could, you know, go on a date?" Riku asked nervously. It came as a surprise to Sora. He just recently admitted his feelings for the older teen and to be asked out so soon...

A date? With Riku? This is...wow. Oh! I have to answer! Say yes you idiot, say yes! He thought.

"Sure Riku. Let's go on a date." Sora gave him a big smile before giving Riku a quick peck on the cheek, making silverhaired teen blush like a sun-dried tomato.

"You should do that more often..." He leaned closer to Sora, wrapping his long arms around the smaller boy's waist.

"But it's more fun this way...leaves you wanting more..." Surely enough, he was right. Riku slowly descended on the smaller boy's lips, closing the distance between them. And one passionate kiss later, they slowly pulled away from the kiss. Riku leaned closer to Sora's ear and whispered, "tomorrow night. I'll take you out for dinner. Sound good?"

Sora, still slightly out of breath, whispered back. "Yea..."

(END OF FLASHBACK...THANK YOU CHOOSING 'TIME REWIND' FOR YOUR TIME TRAVELING NEEDS...)

And here we are again. Sora was still outside on the porch waiting for his lover to make an appearance. He was just about to head back in when he noticed a silver car appear down the street. "Is that Riku?" Sora questioned himself, noticing a familiar head of silver hair poke out of the window.

"Sora! Sorry I'm late!" He got out of the car, walking towards the brunette and taking him in his arms. "I had to tell my parents someething or they wouldn't let me leave."

"What did you tell them?" The brunette stopped, realizing a crucial piece of information. "Riku...Do they know that your gay?"

Riku remained silent. He couldn't tell his parents about his relationship with Sora. If they find out, they might try to separate him from his lover. He couldn't let that happen. But he couldn't lie to his beloved Sora. "No they don't. They think I'm on a date with some girl."

Sora gave Riku his famous pout, but he looked so cute that it made Riku blush. Damnit! Why did he have to be so cute? Riku inwardly cursed himself. The younger boy was indeed cute. With his big blue eyes, his spiky chocolate brown hair, and slender figure; it wasn't at all surprising that he had a hot boy like Riku head over heels in love with him.

"Rikuuu! You have to confront them sooner or later! I've already told my mom!"

"What did she say?"

"She said it was awesome. She didn't want me to get some girl pregnant at the age of fifteen but since i'm gay, there's no way I'll get anyone pregnant."

Riku looked down at his lover's face with a shocked expresion, I can't believe a mom like that exists. He was right though. Just how many mothers do you know that have accepted their child's sudden change in sexuality? That's right, noth that many. "Well maybe she can convince my mother the benefits of having a gay son. Anyways, we better get going. I have Reservations at that new restuarant. The one called, 'Sanctuary'."

Sora's eyes widened at the news. "SANCTUARY? THE SANCTUARY? THAT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE RESTUARANT IN TOWN!" He paused, realizing he was screaming, he lowered his voice. "How on earth did you get a reservation? How can you afford it?"

Riku sighed, and looked around to check if the coast was clear and proceeded with his confession. "Well truth is, my parents are the owners of the all 'Sanctuary' chain restuarants. They work from home so they won't see us on our date. And everyone there already knows about us beacause I used to go to them for advice." Sora couldn't believe what he was hearing. Riku was a rich kid! A filthy stinkin' rich kid! Why on earth is such a rich guy going to a public school? It makes no sense!

"Then why do you go to a public school? Why not a private school?" Sora asked, finally voicing his thoughts. Riku smiled, taking the smaller boy's hand and guiding him to the car.

"It's because of you...I've known you long before you met me...Back when I was in elementary school, I ran away from home. I couldn't take it anymore so I ran. That was when I met you at the park and I fell in love with you at first sight." He took Sora's hand and kissed it lightly, bringing a light, pink blush to the brunette's face.

I met Riku before? A park...A park... Suddenly, memories of a silver headed boy filled his head. It was only for a day, but it was the most fun Sora ever had in his life. Riku...His eyes filled with tears at the sudden realization. My first love... He remembered.

"Sora? Why are you crying? Was it something I said?" Riku fussed over him. He was caught by surprise when the small boy pulled his face down and kissed him. He, however, didn't take long to return the kiss, licking Sora's lips in attempt to pry the soft pink lips open.

The second Sora opened his mouth, Riku slipped his tongue into the damp oral chamber. "Mmmm!" Sora moaned with pleasure. He'd never felt such a wonderful feeling in his life. The pleasure was clouding his mind. Oh god...this feels...so good!...

Their tongues danced with each other in the intense kiss until Riku pulled away, making the brunette pout in his usual cute way. "Please do that more often Sora..." He gasped for breath, "it makes me very happy. VERY HAPPY."

Sora stopped pouting and smiled at the tall boy. Suddenly he remembered what it was they were meeting for. "Weren't we supposed to go to dinner?" His lover's aqua green eyes widened when it dawned upon him that he forgot about the reservations.

"HO SHIT THE RESTAURANT! I FORGOT!" Riku picked up Sora and placed him gently in the shiny silver car. He walked around it and sat in the driver's seat and started to drive away. "I wonder if the guys kept my table open..." He muttered under his breath. They drove up to 'Sanctuary', parked, ran out of the car and into the restaurant, where they were greeted by a group of well dressed people.

"Welcome Riku and Sora. We've been expecting you. We hope you enjoy your night in 'Sanctuary'."

"Okay guys knock it off. This isn't a five-star hotel."

The group lifted their heads and grinned childishly at the young master. "That hurts, sir!" Said a tall spiky blondheaded guy. "Yea! We were only trying to look good in front of your date!" Cried a redhead in the distance. Riku sighed dramatically. Taking the brunette's hand, he gestured towards the group of men and two women.

"Sora, let me introduce you to everyone. Blondie over here is Cloud." The spiky blond man that spoke not too long ago bowed his head. " It's very nice to finally meet the famous Sora. Riku talks about you all the time." Riku blushed and glared at the blond before moving along with the introductions.

"The redhead over there is Reno, and no he isn't related to Axel...At least I think he isn't. The one with the spiky black hair is Zack, brown hair and a scar on his face is Leon, short blond hair and a toothpick in his mouth is Cid, Long black hair and antisocial one there is Vincent, and last but (probably) not least is the two girls. The quiet, calm one is Aerith and the one giggling like a fangirl is Yuffie." Riku took a deep breath; after saying all that he needed a break.

Sora glanced at the group. Riku talks about me? He stole a sideways glance at his lover, smiling with a light blush on his cheeks. He really does like me... He leaned in closer, taking Riku by surprise, and planted a kiss on the soft, pale lips. Riku flushed red. Cloud and the rest were whistling and cat calling while the two girls were sighing at the lovely couple.

Sora pulled away after awhile. His face so red that it made Axel's hair look pink and his eyes met his lover's beautiful ocean ones. Riku immediatly pulled Sora closer to his chest and held him with gentle loving arms. "How many times do i have to tell to you that you need to do that more often?" He joked. Sora smiled his own goofy smile, "And how many times do I have to tell you that it's more fun this way!" He winked, "aren't I a tease?"

Riku attempted to pout (and greatly failing at it), taking the brunette's hand, he lead him to the very back of the restaurant into a rather secluded area. it was separated by luxurious, vivid red ropes and lit by several white candles; like any romantic date scene. "Oh my god! This is beautiful! I can't belive this! Riku I love you!" He tackled Riku to the ground, hugging the air out of him.

"Haha. I get it Sora but I...need to...breathe..." Sora released him from the hug of death, waited for him to catch his breath, and helped the tall boy up. "Hehhehheh, sorry Riku. But this is so amazing!" He squealed excitedly.

Riku smiled affectionately. They sat down and enjoyed the dinner. The music was soft and romantic, the food was divine, and best of all. Riku was with him. He couldn't be anymore happy. By the end of the date, Sora had befriended the entire staff and had become a favorite among them.

"You sure know how to pick 'em don't cha Vanilla?" Said a very amused Cid.

"I thought I told you not to call me that?" A slightly irritated Riku responded.

"Why not? Your hair is white like Vanilla. So that's your nickname, Vanilla."

"Well even so, my name is Riku and that's what you will call me. And what makes you say that?"

"Fine, fine. I was just trying to say that you've got yourself a good guy right there. Cute, nice, smiles alot, respects his elders..." He said the last part with emphasis. Riku smirked and looked at his lovely date.

"Yea, I know. He's wonderful. He always was..." He trailed off, leaving a slightly confused Cid wondering what he really meant. Cid just shrugged his shoulders and did his job of clearing the table.

"Sora, there's one more place I want to show you." Riku said, catching the smaller boy's attention.

"What's that Riku?"

"You'll see."

And with that he took the brunette's hand and headed towards the exit, waving at everyone passing bye. They climbed into the car and drove for awhile. Riku slowed down and stopped at a park near a shopping center. The park was called "Kingdom park", named after the founder of Destiny islands, Ansem D. Kingdom. They stepped out of the car, nostalgia instantly claiming them.

"This is where we first met." Whispered Riku. "I ran away from home and came here. It was here that I first met you." He paused, taking Sora's hand. "This is where I first fell in love with you."

Sora fought back a sob, obviously unsuccessful. Tears trailing down his cheeks, his grip on Riku tightening, He smiled. "And this is where I met my first love..."

Riku's eyes widened. His head turned to Sora so fast that one could hear it snap. "W-what?" His eyes watered, and his body going Stiff. He remembers?... Thought Riku, a small flush reaching his face. He remembers me?...

"I was six-years-old. My mother brought me here to play and I saw a boy. He was running into the playhouse over there and didn't come out. I confronted him and he told me that he was all alone." He took a deep breath before continuing. "So I asked him if he wanted to play knights with me. We played all day long. But then it got dark and my mom was saying that it was time to go. I was waving at him good bye when I noticed something." He held Riku's hand even tighter. "He looked so beautiful next to the sunset. My heart felt like it was soaring. I didn't realize it back then, but I fell in love with that boy...He was my first love..."

Sora glanced at his lover. Riku was crying. He was CRYING! Riku never cries. Never. Suddenly, a pair of warm arms wrapped around Sora.

"I'm so happy." He whispered nearly inaudibly. "I love you so much Sora. I love you. I love you. I love you." He placed kisses all over Sora's face, moving ever so slowly to his neck. Sora pulled away slightly, and leaned in to kiss his silver headed lover.

"Me too," he whispered, his lips brushing against Riku's lips with every word. "I love you too Riku. I've always loved you and always will." They went on kissing for what felt like forever. Neither boy noticed the limo that pulled over nearby.

Two figures emerged from the Limo and stepped closer towards the couple.

"Riku Tenebras Cordis! What are you doing? Why are you locking lips with that...that pauper!"

Both boys jumped apart and looked at the two figures. All the color on Riku's face drained away.

Riku was looking at his parents...


A/N: CLIFFHANGER! Sorry it took forever! But on the plus side, this chapter is obviously longer than my usual! :D And I know that everyone is probably wondering what happened back when they met in the park right? Well no worries. I plan to make a one-shot of that tale at a later date. And just so you know, Riku's name (minus the riku part obviously) means "Darkness of the heart" in Latin. pretty cool huh? :D I need to find one for the rest of the characters. Any way I hope you liked it! I promise to update as soon as possible! Do you know how hard it is to keep my grades up and write a story? I'm not a very capable person. I have a lot of shit going on too. Please understand. Thank you! :D
