Riku lies on the ground motionless with the last thought in his head echoing. "Sora…" It rang through his mind. The water rises over his face and spills through the crack of the bathroom door. The silver boy lies submerged under water, waiting for his prince to save him.
"Get to class, Axel!" Cloud calls out. "Yeah, yeah." Axel calls back to Cloud and rolls his eyes. Cloud is the youngest professor at the high school; he teaches AP History and never gets any respect from students outside of his class. Axel turns the corner and bums into Roxas. The red head looks down at the blue eyed beauty.
"Skipping class? I didn't know you had it in you Roxas." Axel says with an emerging lewd grin. "I was just on my way to the bathroom." Roxas replies. He stares into the deep green eyes; they always seem to look into his heart. Roxas continues to walk but Axel blocks the passage with his arm.
"It's rude to walk away from a conversation." Axel says smoothly. The words fall onto Roxas like warm water. Roxas's face turns to a shade of pink as Axel rubs his nose against Roxas's. A shiver runs up the blond's spine but the heat from Axel's hand against his back fades the cold away.
Cloud's shiny black shoes click down the empty hallway. 'I wonder if Leon will be in the teachers' lounge. He doesn't teach class this period.' Cloud thinks to himself with several heated dirty thoughts following after that. He turns a corner and his shoes splash in water.
"What the hell?" Cloud says to himself. He looks down and follows the water trail to the outside of the boys' bathroom door. 'Axel…' Cloud swings open the door and sees Riku under the water as white as a ghost.
'Where is Riku?' Sora wonders to himself. He paints in the details of the ocean floor on his colourful canvas. The brunette puts down his paint brush at the sound of the bell. Demyx walks in the door and sets up his easel for the art class next.
Sora shuffles with his book bag through the students exiting the room and over to Demyx. "Have you seen Riku?" Sora asks the dirty blond. "Naw, I haven't. Sorry Sora." Demyx says. Sora pulls off his smock and rushes out the door.
The hot breath from Axel touches Roxas's neck and he whispers in the blond's ear, "Relax. It's just me, Roxy." He captures their lips together and his hands start to slowly slid down Roxas's slim body.
'How the hell did we get in the janitor's closet?' Roxas thinks to himself. His thoughts interrupt as Axel's tongue slides in his open mouth. A moan escapes Roxas's lips and he runs his pale hands through the male's fiery hair.
Cloud opens a panel in the bathroom and turns off the water. He falls to his knees and lifts Riku out of the red water. "Riku? Can you hear me?" Cloud asks. The wet body falls into Cloud's arms. "Riku? Can you hear me?" Cloud repeats. Riku's chest moves up a little. "Riku?" Cloud asks.
The mouth of the silver boy opens. "Sora?" Riku manages to croak out of his unconsciousness. "No, it's me Cloud." Riku's eyes blink open; the florescent light burn his sight but his eyes adjust and focus at the blond man looking down at him.
"Riku!" Sora shouts down the hallway filled with teens. 'Something's wrong…' Sora thinks. He pushes his way quickly through people and bums into Kairi. "Oh hi Sora!" Kairi smiles at the worried brunette.
"Oh uh hey Kairi. Sorry but I gotta go." Sora says. Kairi grabs his arm and Sora looks back at her with fret in his eyes. "Sora…are you going with anyone to the Prom?" She asks. Leon opens the classroom door and it hits Kairi's head.
She falls to the floor and teens circle around. "Nice panties." Someone calls out. Girls giggle and walk into the classroom. Leon doesn't notice Kairi and closes the door. Sora bends down to help her up but he hears Cloud shouting in the bathroom down the calm hallway. "Sorry Kairi." Sora says and he leaves her there to struggle with her bruised head.
"Cloud?" Sora calls out. He pushes open the bathroom door and his book bag slides off his shoulder and on to the ground. "Riku!" Sora shouts and he hugs Riku's sore body. Sora helps Riku to sit up and Demyx comes in.
"You need help?" Demyx asks. Cloud nods and points at all the two foot deep red water on the floor. Demyx swirls the water off the floor and away down the sink drains. "Now get to class." Cloud says. Demyx frowns and Cloud walks out with him.
Sora buries his face in Riku's wet shirt and Riku hold him close. "Ah." Riku gasps at the pain shot down his arm. Sora stops hugging him and looks at Riku's bloody hands. "…Who did this to you?" Sora asks. "Don't worry Sora, I'm fine-" "Who did this to you?" Sora repeats himself but this time in a worried voice. Riku sighs and struggles to stand up. Sora helps Riku off of the ground and Riku leans against a white wall.
"It's okay Sora." Riku says. 'I don't want him to go after Axel...He will get hurt.…' Riku thinks to himself. The brunette's eyes fill with blue tears. "Tell me!" Sora demands. "I'll rip them up!" Sora clinches his teeth and hits his fist against the wall. Riku jumps at being startled.
"Who did this?" Sora asks sternly. Riku looks at the ground and mutters, "It was Axel." Sora face turns blank. "What?" Sora asks. "Axel did this." Riku says and he looks at the shocked brunette.
Sora clinches his fist and stomps out of the bathroom; holding Riku's hand. "Sora no! Don't fight him. You are better then that." Riku explains. "He hurt you. He could have killed you." Sora says. The silver teen's eyes hold back the tears at that thought.
"Ha Sora, I am fine." Riku says with very little humor. Sora looks Riku up and down. The silver hair is wet and straight and there is blood and bruises along Riku's body. "I'm gonna take care of this." Sora says and he keeps walking. Riku catches up with Sora.
"Don't fight him Sora!" Riku pleads. "I'm not going to fight him. I'm telling on him." Sora says. Riku can't help but smile. He knew Sora is too much of a sweetheart to fight that hot headed teen. He laces his fingers with Sora's open hand. Riku smiles at the boy.
Sora smiles back and Riku kisses Sora softly and slowly. He parts the kiss and their noses touch. A soft hand from Riku rubs against Sora's cheek. "Thank you." Riku says quietly. The silver boy falls back on the ground and the brunette rushes down after him. "Riku!"
