A/N: Hello readers! YEAH I'M THE BEST! This is a knew record you know. For me. 2 weeks and no post. Almost 3. So I made this chapter a little longer. I've been suffering from writer's block, and also I have some girl problems of my own at school, so sorry. Anyway, I'm sure none of you care about my lame excuse fro absence, so just enjoy, and review. Please. It makes my day! :D Also, I DON'T OWN KINGDOM HEARTS OR FINAL FANTASY! Ok, let's go!
"Kairi, I have something to tell you… You see, I've had a crush on you for a long time and I was wondering if you would go to homecoming with me?" Sora made a face. "No that's too stupid…."w
"Wow Sora…. Practicing in the mirror?"
"JESUS CHRIST!" Sora flung himself into his closet, knocking down a few clothes hangers.
He poked his head out to see Riku standing in front of him. "How long were you there…" Sora asked the silverette.
"Just enough to know you're planning on asking someone to homecoming." The boy chuckled. Honestly Sora, you hang out with Roxas so much, I didn't think you were into girls." He finished with his arms crossed in satisfaction.
"One," Sora started. "me and Roxas are cousins, and two, I'm not gay."
"Contrary to popular opinion, of course"
"Do, people really think I'm gay?"
"Relax, man, I was just playing. But who were you practicing for?"
"None of your business, Riku."
Riku wasn't satisfied with that answer. "Ok, you secretive bastard. Let's spar. I win, you spill."
Sora put his head down. He knew he could win, but Riku was strong. Was it worth the risk? He might already know…. He was gonna tell him anyway… Screw it.
"Deal." Sora got up and shook his friend's hand.
When the boys got to the Island it was still sunset. Still Tuesday. Only two days in to the school year. Jesus Christ, the days are slow.
Riku jogged into the shack and came out with the two sparing sticks. He threw one at Sora's feet. The brunette picked it up quickly, slightly paranoid that Riku might try to get the jump on him. Instead, his friend was standing ten feet away, his left hand on his hip.
"Come on, Sora. I'm getting so anxious." His friend mocked.
Sora gripped his sword and brought up to his waist. "The rules, Riku." Sora asked calmly.
"Easy." Riku responded. "First to say 'Mercy' wins."
Sora frowned. "That sounds dangerous."
"Well, you could tell me who you like, and save yourself the pain."
"Fat chance, loser!"
"Well then, what are you waiting for?"
Sora charged. He leaped into the air, raising his sword, and slashed downward upon his friend. Riku stepped aside, and deflected the attack to put the boy off balance.
"Gah!" Sora exclaimed as he was struggling to regain his balance from the one foot he was standing on. Riku stepped forward and pulled his leg pout from under him using the blade of his sword.
"Hah!" Riku laughed. "If we had real swords, you would've face planted, and lost a leg!"
Sora got back up. He lunged at Riku, but his target leaped backwards and got into a ready stance. Sora decided to use his momentum to his advantage as he unleashed a series of hockey like slap shots towards Riku's torso. Riku jumped back again.
Stop running, Riku, Sora thought in frustration. Sora then lunged and brought the sword up between Riku's legs, headed straight for his family jewels. Just when Sora thought he had him, he heard the clack of wood on wood, and his sword tugged downward. When he looked up, he saw Riku holding a foot on Sora's blade, so the tip was buried in the sand.
Sora's eyes went wide as he saw Riku raise his sword into the air. He hesitated for a moment, waiting for the magic word, but when it was nowhere to be found, he prepared for the downward strike.
In a last ditch effort for safety, Sora kicked at Riku's knee, and he pulled his leg back in frustration. With his sword available for use, he was able to side-step and swing upwards at Riku's blade.
The swords met and time seemed to stop for a second. The boys witness the ripples in the air as the swords collided. After what seemed like an eternity, the outcome was revealed as Riku's sword went flying into the air.
Riku gasped and tried to run to the estimated landing place of his weapon, but received a jab in the ribs from Sora who blocked his path. The sword landed behind Sora, and making sure not to give Riku a chance to strike, he rolled backwards and picked up the weapon. He had both of the swords now, and riku had no chance. Sora and Riku stared at each other for a while, and through gritted teeth, Riku spoke.
"Mercy,"
Sora and Riku walked home together in silence, a tension in the air. Sora couldn't tell if it was the fact that Riku lost, or the fact that he lost the right to know what he wanted to know. Finally, Sora broke the silence.
"It's Kairi."
"Huh?" RIku asked, to make sure he had heard correctly.
"I was gonna ask Kairi to the dance…"
"Well, how come?"
Sora looked at him, dumbfounded. "What do you think, piss-pot! I lo- I like her! A lot…." He finished, flushing slightly.
Riku grinned on the inside, but he needed more information. "No, I mean, why do you like her?"
Sora was confused as to why Riku wanted know, but he answered honestly. "Well, she's nice, and funny… She never gets mad at me…. I don't know how true that is now, but she used to."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, she's seemed to be upset at me recently…"
"Sora, she's been upset at everyone, lately." Riku lied. "You just need to give her time."
"It doesn't even matter!" Sora complained as he kicked a stone off the road. "She just wants to be friends." He remembered walking to school on the first day.
"Oh, so you were gonna ask her out, but now you're putting yourself in the friend zone?" Riku raised his voice a little. "Come on, Sora, grow a pair and ask her out you wimp!"
Sora looked away. "It's not that easy."
Riku groaned. "Whatever. Just so you know, homecoming is second friday of the school year."
"Yeah, I know."
"Sora?"
"What?"
"This is your house." Riku explained slowly.
"Oh yeah…" Sora hardly noticed. "Thanks." He said emptily as he entered his home.
Riku pulled out his phone. He found Kairi's number and called her. He waited patiently for her to answer. as tapped his feet to a song he couldn't recall the name to. He hummed it to himself, and sang in his head.
Racy days help me through the hopeless haze
But my oh my
Tragic eyes, that I can't even recognize
Myself behind
So if the answer is no
Can I change your mind?
Just then he heard the tone that signified Kairi answering her phone.
"Hello?" Kairi asked.
Riku opened his mouth to spread the good news, but just then he received a text from Sora.
DON'T TELL ANYONE, HEFT, UNLESS YOU WANT ONE LESS OF EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TWO OF!
~Sora Bolton
Riku read the text 3 times to make sure he knew what was there. He put the phone up to his mouth. "Sorry, Kairi. Must have butt-dialed you", and he hung up.
Post A/N: I said everything in the intro. I'm sorry. But, I'm trying. SO yeah. All I have to say is review, and tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I'm doing right. So yeah. See you all next time I guess. I'm just super tired. Next post is a Oneshot for Kingdom Hearts. So enjoy that. That should be here soon. So yeah. Bye.
