NO RUNNING, NO DIVING
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot…
So I got seriously carried away with my other stories that I completely forgot about this one. I was getting really bored with writing my other ones so when I realized I have this one to continue, I was very relieved. So I read the last chapter and I thought, "Oh my god! This is so cute! I can't believe I wrote this!" So read and review for me please!
Chapter 11
It was only until I woke up that I realized Sora and I had dozed off. I looked to the clock and it was 5:30.
I looked over to Sora on my left and smiled. He was still sleeping all curled up like a cat.
I stood and moved to go check on Xion. I walked over to her bedroom and opened the door. She was sitting at her computer.
"Hey." I said simply and she jumped three feet into the air.
"JESUS! Don't frikkin' pop in here out of nowhere! You scared the shit outta me!" she yelped.
I chuckled and sat next to her. "You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm totally fine. I was livejournal-ing my near death experience. People like that sort of stuff." She said with a smile.
"I'm glad you're okay. I was worried that you might become reclusive." I said.
"Me? Reclusive? NO!" Xion said with a laugh.
"I'm serious Xion." I said with a frown.
"And I'm being serious. I'm really okay. In fact, I'm more worried about Sora than I am about myself." Xion said.
"Why do you say that?" I asked.
"C'mon Riku! He's probably freaking out thinking that he almost killed somebody! He's a really sweet person and because of that he probably blames himself for what happened." Xion said.
"But I already told him it wasn't his fault."
"Riku. Just telling him something doesn't make him believe it." Xion said.
"Well, he seemed fine before we dozed off." I said.
"Well, maybe he is okay. But I would be careful about it just in case." Xion replied.
I nodded and gave my sister a kiss on the head. "I guess I'm making dinner?" I asked.
"I guess so!" Xion said with a smirk. She was happy she could get out of making dinner for a day.
"Evil child!" I yelled.
"It's dad's fault he's helpless at cooking." Xion laughed.
I smiled and left the room. I made my way back into my bedroom to find Sora laying on my bed humming a tune and inspecting his hands.
I moved into the room slowly and moved to the floor where I crawled to the side of the bed.
I moved as close as I could without him noticing, which was actually right next to his ear.
In a low voice I said. "You're just in your own little world aren't you?"
He yelped and turned to me with a pout. "DON'T DO THAT!" he yelled and I laughed.
"You are so cute!" I said and kissed his head.
"You're mean!" Sora whined childishly and pushed me away.
I laughed again. "Awe, c'mon! I was only playing!" I said and moved to kiss him again.
Sora moved and stood on the other side of the bed.
"Sora!" I yelped.
"You don't deserve to kiss me!" Sora said with a smirk.
"Oh really?" I said and stood.
"YES REALLY!" Sora giggled.
I quickly started to climb over the bed to catch him but he moved to the other side. "Oh, so that's how you wanna play? Okay, it's on!" I yelled and ran around the bed.
Sora grabbed a pillow and threw it at my face. I quickly swatted it away and moved to grab him.
Only he wasn't where I thought he was.
"I'm behind you!" Sora giggled.
I quickly turned around and caught him. He yelped and laughed as I showered him with kisses.
"I win!" I said.
"I let you win so it doesn't count!" Sora said.
"It counts just fine! I even have a prize." I said.
"What? I didn't know there was a prize! I would have tried harder to win!" Sora whined.
"I'm talking about you, doofus! You're my prize!" I said and lifted him over my shoulder.
"W-wait! You c-can't do this! I'm not that much smaller than you! You're gonna drop me!" Sora yelped.
"I'm only going to drop you if you keep squirming like that!" I said and held tightly to the wiggling form hanging over me.
"Where are we going?" Sora asked.
"To the kitchen. You're hungry right?" I said.
"YES! FOOD!" Sora exclaimed.
I plopped him down onto a chair in the kitchen and moved to the fridge. "What do you want to eat? I'm pretty sure we can make anything. Well, Xion is allergic to nuts so it can't have nuts in it." I said.
"Uh… ummm… pizza! Can we make a pizza? I've always wanted to make one but my mom always says, 'Why make one when we can just order in?'" Sora said.
"Sure, I think that's a great idea." I said with a smile.
"You know how to make one?" Sora asked.
"Yep! I know Xion likes pepperoni, is that okay with you?" I asked.
"Yeah, That's really all I wanted anyways." Sora replied.
"Alright. Let's get started." I said
-NO RUNNING, NO DIVING-
Sora's POV
It took us twenty minutes to get all of the ingredients we needed out of the fridge and cabinets.
"If I give you the recipe, can you make the dough?" Riku asked and I nodded.
"I can handle that just fine! Leave it to me!" I grinned.
"Good, here's the recipe. Get to work!" Riku ordered.
I put my hand up in a salute. "YES SIR!" I giggled.
I started with the flour and the rest kind of followed easily. Measuring everything correctly was really the only challenging thing.
When the dough was all mixed and thick, and sticky, I turned to Riku, who was finishing up the marinara.
"All done!" I said.
"Okay, let's flatten it out." Riku said and we walked back over to my bowl of dough.
I flipped the bowl over and watched it fall out. I looked at him and he nodded.
I smiled and pounded down on the down and watched as it got thinner and thinner. I was good at this part!
"Wait! Wait! Don't get too carried away! If it get's too thin and it'll burn in the oven." Riku said and took my pounding fists.
I blushed when I realized Riku's body was flush against mine from behind. His mouth was right next to my ear!
"See look, you pounded a hole in our pizza. Let's start over gently." Riku said and kissed my neck.
I flushed redder.
He opened my palms and slowly placed them on the lump on dough. Then slowly slid his hands on top of mine.
"Now. Slowly." He said before maneuvering my hands in small circles with his own.
I almost died of the blood rush to my face. I mean, we were just spreading dough but I couldn't help but feel like we were doing something inappropriate.
His hot breathe on my neck.
His warm hands on top of mine.
The slow circular movements: in and out, in and out.
I could feel a nosebleed coming on, I feel faint!
Riku suddenly moved from behind me and I fell to the floor.
I looked up at him in a daze and he chuckled.
"Sorry, I just really wanted to see how much I could unwind you." He said with a smirk.
"It's not fair! You make me weak in the knees!" I pouted.
Riku flushed suddenly and turned.
"W-what?" I asked.
He shook his head with his back to me.
I managed to stand again and I took a deep breath.
Riku turned back to me and took a breath as well. "I'm sorry but that was so cute and innocent looking… I had this strong urge to corrupt you."
"Maybe we should finish the pizza before we have this conversation?" I said.
"Good idea." Riku said and moved to check on the marinara.
I looked over to the pizza dough and smiled.
It was perfectly molded into the shape of heart.
"Okay, marinara is done. Let's spread it onto the dough and then we can put on the top-" I lunged forward and planted a kiss on his nose before he could finish.
"I like you." I said.
"Reason?" he asked.
"You make me food in heart shapes." I said with a giggle.
"That all?" he asked.
"Ummmmm… I think I like your personality too. I could be wrong though." I said with a smirk.
Riku chuckled. "You're cute." He said sarcastically.
I laughed and took the marinara from him. I tipped the pot slowly over the heart shaped dough and after pouring a good amount; I took a spoon and spread it around evenly.
"That was good." Riku said. "ready for cheese?" he asked.
"Knock, knock jokes?" I asked. Those were pretty cheesy.
"Not like that you goob!" Riku said and pulled out the mozzarella cheese.
"Let's sprinkle!" I said and took a handful of cheese before sprinkling it all around.
Riku smiled and followed my lead.
After about three layers of cheese, we decided to stop.
"Pepperoni time!" I said and looked around. "Where's the pepperoni?" I asked.
"Right in front of you silly!" Riku said.
I looked around. "I don't see it!" I said.
"It's right here!" he said and picked up a long reddish pipe looking thing.
"That's not pepperoni." I said.
"Sora, you don't honestly think that pepperoni is always in slices, that it's made that way?" Riku asked incredulously.
"Well, I was looking for slices and all I saw was a log of meat that didn't look like pepperoni!" I said with a blush.
"No babe, we have to cut it ourselves." Riku said.
"Oh… sorry…" I said feeling stupid.
"Awe, don't make that face. It was an honest mistake that anyone could have made." Riku said and laid a soft upper cut to my chin to lift it before kissing me.
"Sora you wanna cut the pepperoni?" he asked me after he pulled away.
I nodded with a smile and he placed the knife on the counter for me to pick up.
I picked the knife from the counter and placed the pepperoni on the cutting board and started to slowly cut thin slices.
It was nice and relaxing just to slowly cut the meat as Riku preheated the oven and began to hum softly.
"AH! It smells delicious in here!" a loud, deep voice sounded that startled me.
I dropped the knife and inspected my now cut and bleeding index finger.
Riku seemed to notice the alarm on my face and turned to his father who seemed to be basking in the smell of the kitchen.
"Dad! Don't startle people holding knives! Sora, are you okay? Let me see." He said and tried to inspect my hand.
I shook my head. "I'm okay." I said.
"No you're not. You're dripping on the floor. You might need stitches." Riku said and turned me around firmly.
I looked at him startled by his aggression.
He almost roughly took my arm to inspect my cut finger.
"I think you can go without stitches, but let's apply pressure to it to stop the bleeding okay." He said softly. It was a deep contrast from his firm grip on my wrist.
I nodded and stuttered. "C-could y-you loosen you're grip? You're hurting me."
Riku immediately let go and put a kiss on the offended wrist. "I'm sorry… you wouldn't show me your finger and that only made me worry that you were downplaying your injury so I needed to be a little firmer." He said looking guilty.
"It's okay." I said.
Sephiroth came back to the kitchen holding a first aid kit. He handed it to me. It was his way of apologizing.
I nodded and opened the box and took out a band-aid.
Riku walked over to me and put the band-aid on my finger.
"There, all better!" I said.
"Good." Riku said and kissed my finger tip. "I'll finish cutting and you go apply the pepperoni to the pizza. Got it?" Riku said.
I smiled. "Got it!"
It was after about twenty minutes that the pizza finally went into the oven.
"Now we wait." Riku said.
"We wait!" I repeated with a nod.
Riku smiled and riffled my hair.
