I don't like to jump from story to story. Anyway, enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 10
Riku awoke to a beautiful sound; Hairs scrapping across strings. Sora was practicing for his audition. He chose to play the violin. Riku got a job as a stage hand at one of the theaters until he got call backs from his auditions. Sora wasn't playing the piece that he was suppose to be playing for his audition but he always warmed up with Mozart's Serenade. It worked his fingers and shifting, not to mention a tremendous control over the bow. Riku stretched and climbed out of bed leaning in the door frame watching the brunette play. As Sora approached the end of the song he looked up and eyed his silver-haired lover and smiled. He concluded the song with the final chord and Riku clapped quiet impressed.
"What a pretty song to wake up to." Riku smiled back. "The tune was flawless, your shifting was superb now…" Riku walked over to the brunette and started to adjust the form of the young man. "…let's try to actually LOOK like a violinist." Riku chuckled and walked over to the fridge pulling out a carton of orange juice and poured himself a glass.
"Hey!" Sora jumped up and walked over to Riku. "I'd like to see you do better!" Sora pouted.
"Hmph. Gladly." Riku grabbed the instrument and tightened the bow and glided the horse hair across the strings playing the exact same song Sora was playing.
Sora stood there with a pout on his face 'When did he have time to memorize the damn song AND play it that good.' Riku stopped playing and handed the instrument back to Sora. "Show off." Sora said under his breath taking the instrument and putting it back in its case.
"I'm sorry I'm good at what I do." Riku laughed over at Sora who was still pouting. "Awwww you jealous?" Riku rushed over to Sora scooping him up in his arms. Sora gasped not expecting two strong arms to wrap around him.
"No!" Sora said quite childishly and snuggled against Riku's chest.
Riku lifted Sora's chin with finger "You are too cute when you're jealous." Riku said leaning in placing a peck on Sora's full lips.
"Fuck you, Riku." Sora said and walked into the kitchen.
"Jeez Sora! I'm tired! Can't you give me a bre-AHH!" Riku screamed when he felt a blast of cold water hit his back.
"HAHA! You scream like a girl!" Sora laughed clutching the removable faucet from the sink.
"Oh! You are so going to pay!" Riku ran over and hugged Sora soaking wet.
"AHH! It's cold!"
"Yeah no shit!" Riku picked him up and brought him into the bathroom. He turned on the cold water full blast in the shower and places Sora inside.
"AHHHH! COLD!" Sora tried to escape the freezing shower but to no avail since Riku got in with him and pinned him against the wall. "Oh come on! I only got you a little bit!"
"I told you, you would pay." Riku smiled and leaned in against Sora's cheek planting butterfly kisses. "Want me to heat things up for you?" He licked Sora's cheek. Sora shivered beneath him.
"No….Riku…come on….we got to get…ready for the day….this…ohhh riku…..stop it." Sora gasped out in between heavy breaths as Riku worked his magic on Sora. While Riku was teasing him Sora heard his computer make funny noises. "OH! Must be Roxas!" Sora quickly escaped the person that Riku held him in.
"Grrr…" Riku walked into the room when Sora was drying off his hands and opening the laptop.
"Hey Rox! How ya feeling buddy?" Sora asked.
"I'm alright. Treatment is a bitch (like I said) but it should be over soon."
"How's Axel doing with the whole situation?"
"He's jealous." Roxas plainly stated.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean he's jealous at the fact that strangers are touching my dick."
"They have a thing for that. It's called prostitution if he wants it that badly."
"No, no, no Sora. He's mad that other people are touching me. Can't say I blame him. If I found out that other people were touching Axel I would be pissed too. By the way, why are you soaking wet?"
"Ask this one!" Sora pulled Riku down by the ear to get into the cameras view.
"Ohhhh! One of those Riku? Come on I thought you were better than that!" Roxas laughed.
"HE STARTED IT!" Riku said pointing at Sora.
"It's true I did start it. I sprayed him with the removable faucet."
"That's my bro." On the other ended the boys could here a woman's voice asking who Roxas was talking to. Then they saw Sora's mom appear in view of the camera.
"Hi sweetie!"
"Hi mom."
"Oh my…is that Riku next to you?"
"Hello Pamela. It's been such a long time."
"Gosh Riku, look at how you have grown." Pamela had a tear in her eye. "If only your father could see you now. How's your mother?"
"I'm sorry to say that I haven't spoken to her in a very, very long time." Sora has never seen the mature side of Riku before. It was a nice change. Sora leaned against Riku's chest. He just had the urge to. Riku wrapped an arm around his waist pulling him closer.
"You're parents, Sora's father, and I always new you two would end up with each other. Now look if you two decided to get married you have to have the wedding here ok?" Pamela smiled.
"Honestly mom? We don't have a choice. In America gay marriage is banned in certain states. That's why Riku and I are going to go to the rally today."
"Oh! I heard about that on the news. Be careful ok? Very, VERY careful." Pamela cautioned.
"and don't put anything in your mouth that isn't wrapped!" Roxas yelled across the screen.
"ROXAS!" Pamela yelled. "Good bye Sora, Riku, darling it was so good to see you."
"Good to see you too Pamela."
"Bye mom." Sora closed the laptop. "You were so cute!" Sora pinched Riku's cheek.
"What are you talking about?" Riku asked.
"You acted so mature. I've never seen you that way before!" Sora laughed.
"Screw you!"
"Riku no! My ass hurts!" Sora complained as Riku pinned him against the couch. They were both laughing. "Don't you think we should get ready for the rally?"
Riku sighed. "Yeah we should. What are you going to wear?"
"I'm thinking as going as a total slut." Sora said sarcastically.
"Hey, can't hide what you are. I understand." That earned Riku a pillow to the head. "Owww…." Sora stuck his tongue out at Riku. "Hehe, you better put that thing away before you are given an extra chore on your list." Sora leaned over to Riku and licked his cheek before walking into the bedroom and freeing himself of his shirt. Riku just shook his head.

The boys walked down to the subway hand in hand. Riku would never let Sora know, but he was craving a cigarette like all hell. He was trying to quite for Sora's sake but just going cold turkey is difficult to keep up. Riku looked down at his watch; they were 15 minutes early. He spotted an open spot on a bench and walked over to it with Sora, kindly offering the seat to the brunette. Sora gladly took it; his body still recovering from this morning's ache of a cold shower. He looked up at his silver haired dream and smiled. He was wearing a pair of black jeans and sleeveless turtleneck top under his hooded trench coat (AN: dead…sexy…). The hood was over his head as he leaned back against one of the pillars. Riku could feel Sora's eyes on him. "Why don't you take a picture? It will last longer." Riku smiled.
"Not a bad idea." Sora took out his camera and snapped a few shots of Riku. "Why don't you become a model? God knows you got the body for it."
"And become one of those Abercrombie and Fitch bimbos? No thanks." Riku waved his hand as if to dismiss the thought.
Sora laughed. "Awwww but you look so good in your underwear." Sora pulled Riku away from the pillar wrapping his arms around his waist as Riku wrapped his arms around Sora's neck. "You look even better with nothing at all though" Sora smiled and kissed Riku's stomach before resting his head on it. Riku stroked Sora's hair lovingly. When Riku turned his head to the side he saw a man staring at them. He had a darker shade of silver hair than Riku's with piercing orange eyes and tan skin.
"Hey Sora, love?" Riku looked down and shook Sora a little so he would look up at him "Do you know that man?" Riku pointed over to where the man was standing but he was gone when they looked up.
"What man Riku?" Sora asked obviously confused by the situation.
"Never mind….he's gone…" Riku was concerned. They have gotten stares before but this one was different. It was almost like his eyes were sniper rifles.
They heard a loud clacking coming down the tracks and knew the train was about to show up. Sora let go of Riku and stood up and walked a little closer to the tracks. When the train stopped and opened the doors, both boys stepped onto the train and oddly enough found two open seats. "This can't be good" Sora stated.
"Why? We actually got seats today."
"I know but it's a common life law. If something good happens to you when it normally doesn't then it's going to come back and bite you in the ass when you least expect it."
"Who the hell told you that?" Riku asked half laughing.
"No one told me. I judge from my own experiences. For instance, if you get a close parking spot at a store during the Holiday season, you damn well know you aren't going to find anything." Sora stated as if he were the smartest person in the world. Riku just laughed more.
"You know something…..you're right." Riku turned to face Sora in disbelief. "Well let's not think about the consequences of us finding seats on this bloody train ok? Let me see those pictures you took of me." Sora took the camera out of his pocket and switched in to the review setting and handed it to Riku. Riku looked through them intently. "Damn, I'm good looking!" Riku stated joking but Sora didn't think so.
"Yes you are you conceded prick." Sora kissed Riku's shoulder. As Riku was scrolling through the pictures he came to a conclusion.
"You should become a photographer."
"What?" Sora was confused.
"I'm serious. If you want to still hang around music and stuff become a photographer for a record company. Do their promos and stuff for new CDs, take pictures of bands for their concerts and albums. That kind of stuff."
"I don't know Ri-" The train made a very abrupt stop. The wheels scratched against the tracks and the power was cut. Passengers on the train screamed as Riku reached over for Sora who he believes fell over in the process.
"Sora! You ok?" Riku reached for him and felt him pulling Sora as close to him as he could.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just hurt my knee a little" Sora sat back up holding onto Riku. Riku embraced the boy tightly as they heard a voice come over the intercom.
"Everyone please remain calm…I assure you I mean no one on here harm…unless you are unwilling to cooperate…" A deep voice came over the speaker.
"Oh…God…" Sora whispered covering his mouth. Riku felt him begin to shake in his arms.
"…I'm looking for a boy whose name is Sora…Sora…" they all heard a slight chuckle. "I know you are on this train Sora so don't try and hide…just walk up to the emergency box and tell me what car you're in…"
Sora didn't want anyone hurt and knew what he had to do. He stood up from Riku's arms and clenched his fists. He gripped at his side reaching down into his pocket and pulling out a ring of keychains. He looked through them and pulled off one called Ultima and tossed the keychain ring over to Riku. "Pick one and hide it." Riku pulled off the keychain called Oblivion and tossed the ring back over to Sora and he stuffed it back in his pocket. Sora walked over to the emergency intercom and told everyone to be quiet. He pressed the button "I have one request before I tell you anything…you let all the people that are in the car with me to leave to another car. There is no reason to get them involved….Xemnas." Did Riku really hear what he thought he heard? Did Sora say Xemnas? Isn't that the guy that cheated on and raped his beloved? Riku didn't need anymore instruction. He stood up and walked over to Sora who was waiting for Xemnas to respond.
"Very well, you always were a good person Sora. Didn't expect anything less from you." Riku turned towards the rest of the people on the car and started to usher them towards the car behind them. "What car are you in Sora?" Once all of the people were out of the car and Riku gave him the thumbs up, Sora got back on the intercom.
"Car 2…" Sora stated and stepped to the middle of the car with Riku holding his hand and the other hand clutching the keychain ready to fight. "Riku…if something happens to me…I just want you to know I love you and that these past few months have been the happiest months of my life. I have no regrets of anything I did in my life time cause they were all for you." Sora's eyes started to swell with tears. He didn't want to think that there was a possibility of him dying today. "…I told you those seats were cursed." Riku couldn't help but laugh a little bit.
"I love you too Sora and I feel the same way about you." Riku gripped Sora's chin and brought him into a deep kiss.
"Well, I've seen you moved on." They quickly pulled apart when they heard the voice. When Riku saw him, he recognized him as the guy from the station that was staring at them.
"Xemnas…" Sora clenched his fist again.
"Sora this is the guy I was telling you about at the station…This is Xemnas...? You bastard!" Riku stated as he ran towards Xemnas at full speed.
"RIKU NO-" But it was too late Riku was thrown to the side and landed down on the hard seats. Riku groaned and Sora started to run over to him but was quickly grabbed by Xemnas and pinned against the wall of the train.
"My, my Sora look how you've grown. You look good enough to eat which is oh so tempting right now." Xemnas leaned down and licked Sora's pulse on his neck. Sora pushed Xemnas away with disgust. "I know you like that Sora…"
"Yeah when it comes from someone I care about!" Sora walked over to Riku and tried to help recover. "What the fuck do you want Xemnas?"
"You, Sora. I want you back."
"Well you can't have me. You fuckin blew your chance. First you claim I was cheating on you, which wasn't true, then you rape me and THEN cheat on ME and with a woman no less."
"You were cheating on me with a…I think 'Riku' was his name."
"NO I WASN'T HE WAS A CHILDHOOD FRIEND WHO MOVED AWAY AND NOW HAPPENS TO BE MY LOVER AND THE PERSON YOU ALMOST KILLED!"
"This is Riku?" Xemnas pointed at the silver haired boy in Sora's arms and laughed "How pathetic and to think I got upset over that."
"I suppose I should actually thank you Xemnas…" Riku started to come to and Sora helped him stand.
Xemnas looked at the boy confused. "What do you mean?"
"Well if it wasn't for you loosening up Sora…even though it was without his consent….I never would have been able to pound away at him like I do now not to mention even fit in him; but then again you must have been pretty damn small cause he was still oh so tight when I took him the first time." Riku smiled devilishly. Sora stared at Riku wide-eyed in disbelief to what he just heard. Xemnas was fuming beyond imagination.
"Fuck this! I'm tried of being Mr. Nice guy by putting off your deaths." Xemnas took out his weapons and almost on cue Sora and Riku activated the keyblades. "Oh shit…" Sora was the first to lunge at him followed by Riku both giving him a body crushing blow. It knocked him out. Riku decided to call 911 so that way the cops could take Xemnas into custody but Sora had ideas of his own. He walked up to the unconscious body and start to pound the keyblade against it earning groans of pain from Xemnas. Riku quickly ran over to Sora and held his arm back.
"Killing him won't ease the pain and you know it." Riku stated staring into Sora's eyes. His eyes changed. They were filled with hate. Riku gasped. "Sora snap out of it! This isn't you! You aren't a killer. Think about it? Who is going to get thrown in jail if you kill him? You will." Sora looked down at the unconscious body and dropped the keyblade breaking down into a fit of tears. The lights to the train flickered back on and the cops entered the train to see an unconscious man and a crying boy in another mans arms.
"What happened here?" the cops asked.

After Sora and Riku were done down at the police station filing a report they decided to head home.
"I can't believe we missed the rally." Sora pouted.
"I know baby, but there will be others and I think putting your rapist in jail is a little more important don't you think? Riku smiled and wrapped and arm around Sora's shoulder as they walked.
"I know but this rally was important. I really would like to avoid going back to the island. It took me long enough to get out." Sora said.
"I know. Hey, I know what will cheer you up." When Sora and Riku turned the corner they entered into a Dunkin Donuts. "Go pick a table and I'll order."
"But you didn't ask me what I wanted." Riku was already up at the counter ordering. Sora sighed and took a seat at a random table. Riku came back with two cups. "Is that what I think it is?"
"If you think its White Hot Chocolate then yes." Sora grabbed the cup quickly from Riku and pulled back the flap and taking a sip of the molten chocolate. Sora shivered in pleasure and became semi-hard. "Holy shit Sora…." Riku was taken back by the boy's reaction to the beverage.
"This….is…..orgasmic." Sora had that look on his face like he just had one.
"Sora please tell me you didn't just cream your pants…" Riku put a hand on his forehead.
"If I did…It certainly made me come faster than you were ever able." Sora said and smiled seductively.
"Oh we'll see about that" Riku picked up his cup and dragged Sora out of the establishment and walked home fairly quickly.
Got to love that White Hot Chocolate.
4 days later on the island….
"Axel are you ready yet?" Roxas called up to him. There were two suitcases by the front door.
"Yeah I'm coming!" Axel walked down the stairs.
"Jeez how long does it take to fix your hair?"
"What? You thought my spikes were natural? Beauty takes time my dear Roxy." Axel smiled and stroked the boy's cheek and gave him a light kiss.
"Are you boys all set?" Pamela asked.
"Sure am mom! I can't wait!." Roxas clapped rapidly. He was so cute when he was excited (sexually and non-sexually). Axel wrapped and arm around the excited teen's waist.
"Now you boys be good ok? Don't destroy the hotel room." Pamela lectured the boys.
"Don't worry Pamela, we'll try not to make a mess." Axel said leaning into Roxas's neck.
"AXEL! SHE'S MY MOM!" Roxas blushed deep.
"Like I didn't hear you boys last night. I hope you used a condom." Pamela said.
"Always Pamela." Axel said.
"Then I don't care what your sex life is like Roxas. As long as you practice safe sex." Pamela was the coolest mom ever!
"You boys ready?" Roxas father asked.
"Yup!" They both said at once.
They loaded the suitcases into the trunk and hoped into the car themselves and drove to the airport.
