Chapter Fifteen

Action and Reaction

"Yuffie is not my girlfriend. She never will be and neither will any other girl."

Emmy looked at him quizzically.

"The truth is…I'm gay."

Emmy blinked. "G-Gay?" She coughed.

Suddenly Sora felt extremely self-conscience. He pulled at the ends of his shorts and blew a stray piece of hair out of his eyes. He nodded. "Yes. I'm gay…and Riku's my boyfriend." He said in a tiny voice. For the first time in his life he was terrified. Terrified oh her reaction, what she'd think of him. Would she be disappointed? Would she kick him out? Would she say nothing but silently hate him. He shook his head. His mother was always happy and talking way too much, now that she was silent he didn't know what to think.

"Gay…and Riku's your boyfriend…" She repeated absently.

"Or was my boyfriend, I kind of screwed things up."

Emmy opened her mouth to say something but stopped, blinking again.

Sora blushed, playing with his hands.

"You didn't want me to know…so you got Yuffie to…" she said, thinking out loud. Emmy looked up, eyes locking on Sora's. "And I screwed things up by inviting Riku."

Sora shrugged. "It's not your fault. I should've told you in the first place. I just…couldn't."

Emmy sighed moving closer to Sora and grabbing his hands. "Why?"

"You just seemed so set on me finding a girl that I liked…I thought I'd disappoint you."

"Well, your right about one thing. You shouldn't have lied. I shouldn't have automatically assumed you were into girls either. We all make mistakes. Guess we know for next time right?"

Sora looked up surprised. "You…don't mind?"

Emmy smiled. "Of course not! Surprised, yea. But you're my son. Nothing's going to change that."

Sora beamed. Overwhelmed with the sheer relief of overcoming one of his many obstacles.

"So." She said, crossing her legs under her and smiling excitedly. "Tell me about Riku!"

Sora's smile immediately widened. "He's gorgeous, nice…talented, oh mom he's really talented! You should see his drawings…" Sora trailed off as he remembered the events of earlier that day. "I've also learned that he doesn't like to say what's bothering him and he doesn't forgive that easily." Sora sighed. "It's probably all over now."

"Do you want it to be all over?" Emmy asked

Sora shook his head. "No! Of course not! We were just getting started."

Emmy smiled, getting a dreamy look in her eyes. "Then don't let it."

"Good morning Sora! You're here early today!" Aerith exclaimed from her place at the breakfast table, where Yuffie and Cloud looked up at him confused. They glanced at the clock. Seven am…seven am…and Sora was at school?

"Are you ok?" they both asked in unison.

Sora smiled. "Yea…erm…do any of you know where Riku is?"

"He's where he always is when he's not with you." Yuffie said. "The art room."

Sora nodded, "I'll talk to you guys later." He said before heading towards the school.

The halls were quiet for once, and the lack of students made it seem much longer than it was. He quickened his pace, a little nervous being in the halls alone. He hurried, up the stairs, to the left, up the stairs straight. Just like Riku had shown him.

He passed some more lockers. "Hi Leon!" he exclaimed as he spotted the brunette slamming his door closed.

Leon looked up, nodding before beginning to walk away. "There's practice this afternoon." He said when he walked passed him.

"Yea I know, Cloud told me." Sora said

Leon grunted. "Cloud." He spat under his breath.

Sora stopped. "Are you guys…okay?"

Leon narrowed his eyes, "Why do you ask?"

Sora shrugged, "It's just…you two are usually together…"

Leon snorted. "You lookin' for Cloud, go ask Tifa." He mumbled before quickly walking away.

Sora paused outside the doors to the art room. He had never been in here before; even though he had long since learned it was Riku's favorite place. The room was full of easels, full but not cluttered. In the back was a long high table, covered with drying paintings, unfinished sketches and hardening models. Sinks ran along the back of the room. Several students had recently finished working on sun catchers, and they hung in the windows, reflecting the cool autumn light on the walls, floor and easels. The scent of acrylic and incense hung in the air, giving it a homey feel. It was no wonder Riku loved it here.

He stepped in slowly. The room was empty, save for a single silver haired artist, sitting in front of an easel at the front of the room. A short stand stood beside the easel with Riku's sketchbook propped on it.

"Hey," Sora said putting his hand on Riku's shoulder.

Riku shook the hand off him, his painting strokes becoming hard and forced.

Sora sighed dejectedly, looking at the canvas. It was the picture Riku had been drawing in the courtyard that day, one of the first times he'd actually talked to him. Only this one was bigger, and in color. "It looks even better on canvas." Sora said quietly.

Riku merely grunted.

Sora's eye twitched. He was sick of this. One mistake. One stupid mistake! Riku wouldn't even hear him out. Things like this were supposed to make relationships stronger right? Not end them. "Will you just listen to what I have to say!" Sora exclaimed frustrated.

"We tried that remember." Riku said disinterestedly.

Sora growled quickly grabbing the brush from Riku as he dipped it into the black paint.

Riku narrowed his eyes, turning to the boy. "Give me back my brush Sora." He said coldly, his voice ice and his eyes fire.

Sora gulped, ignoring the impulse to run away. He shook his head. "No. Not until you listen to what I have to say."

Sora tried his best to not whimper as Riku stared coldly at him. For what seemed like hours Riku glared at him, and Sora put on his hard face, he wouldn't give up.

Riku seemed to realize this. His gaze softened and he easily slid the brush out of Sora's hands, placing it in the black. "Fine." Riku said moving his hair out of his eyes. "But not here."

Sora's face lit up. "So lets go somewhere!" he blurted, not thinking. It was better this way, him just going with impulse, not using his brain, seeing as how it seemed to get him into trouble (example, Friday night).

"Now?"

Sora nodded.

Riku raised an eyebrow. "What about school?"

Sora shrugged. "I'd say this is more important than first period."
