Riku shuffled along the sleek walkway through the crowded shoppers and stores crammed so closely together. The fact that he was dragging a nearly unconscious Sora didn't help much, either. Not worrying much about what would happen with the 'Sora or Kairi' thing, he just set his attention on trying to get back to the table Kairi must've patiently been waiting at.
"Jesus…" Riku moaned, giving another pull to the falling brown-haired boy. He still had a huge goofy smile on his face, his eyelids fluttering trying not to give weight.
"Sora, could you please…pllleaase try to walk on your own now?" Riku asked, raising an eyebrow, shivering from a passing cool wind.
No response from Sora whatsoever. He was still in la la Riku land, the memory of Riku kissing him so deeply burning away anything else his brain actually could process to remember before it.
Riku propped his friend up against a wall, and began snapping his fingers loudly in Sora's face. He began drawing some attention from the woozy boy, and began thwaping his head lightly.
"Soooraa….c'mon, snap out of it!"
Riku smacked his own forehead in disbelief, and waved his arms around. He wasn't going to go to anything drastic, even if Sora looked like he was in a trance.
"I do not…believe this."
He thought for a second, realizing if none of this worked, possibly a much…different approach would work.
"Alright Sora…since you don't seem to want anything to do with me anymore, I'm going to hang out…with Kairi…alone." He exclaimed, making sure the word 'Kairi' was said in a very teasing manor.
Noticing a twitch from the younger boy, Riku slowly turned himself away, and began walking off…
…and was attacked by a flying glomp no more than 2 seconds later.
"Nooo wait Riku! I'll come with you! I…I mean I think Kairi has a right to know…we're not that little musketeer group anymore. That two of us are something more! Right? It would be mean to hide it from her…" Sora hugged onto Riku's hips lying there in the middle of the market, nuzzling his head in the silver haired boy's back.
Riku began noticing some very awkward stares, and pushed Sora off, dragging him further on up ahead, cheeks brightly colored. Sora giggled.
"Omigosh your cheeks are rosy!" Sora smiled, taking it the wrong way, as always.
"Sora! Look…we're not going to tell Kairi anything. We're…not more than friends, okay…?" Riku sweat dropped, knowing his response would most likely crush Sora.
"Wh…But Riku, you kissed me! That was more than a kiss…didn't you feel anything more? I did! Rikkuuuuu…I want to be with you…why are you hesitating…?" Sora asked in a wimpy, soft voice.
And that was when it really smacked him in the face. The only reason Riku was really hesitating now…was because of Kairi. Oh god, of all situations to fall into, and of all people, it had to be him. He shrugged; keeping his mouth clamped, aware he could not tell Sora he had competition. And that it was Kairi, at that…But, hadn't Sora mentioned something about Riku liking Kairi before? Riku felt so confused…maybe he shouldn't underestimate Sora's knowledge all the time.
"………It IS Kairi!!! UWAAAAAHHH…." Sora started bawling on the spot.
Riku was wishing right about at that moment he had a paper bag to place over his head. He swore everyone just tried to make things harder for him…even the people who loved him! Many people around the market gave strange and accusing glares again. All appointed to Riku, of course.
"Sora, please don't cry…People are staring…"
"B-but…I know…y-you like…Kairi..m..mo…mooooreee!" Sora whimpered, pausing after a few words for unhappy hiccups.
As expected, people started to whisper once they noticed Sora was now hysterical and had crocodile tears pouring down his cheeks.
"Oh my! What did that mean child
do to the other?"
"Aww, how pitiful he looks! They
should make up."
"Oh dear, shouldn't the taller one do something…?"
Riku sighed loudly, wanting to die on the spot. Oh WHY did it have to be so DAMNED difficult when a friend falls in love with you!? He squeezed as his temples and tightened his muscles.
"WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT FROM ME!?!?!" Enraged with so many swelling emotions, the silver haired teenager kicked at some loose stones then dropped to his knees next to Sora.
Sora blinked confusedly.
Waaait…he's the seme of this story, he can't start crying…
Some people jumped away and ignored the two as Riku shouted, and the rest left after noticing Sora seemed okay suddenly, or getting the idea Riku was about to rip someone's head off.
"Uhh…Riku, I'm sorry. Am I putting pressure on you?" Sora smiled widely.
What the hell?? Was that all an act? 'Cause it suuuure wasn't funny. Whatever it may've been, Riku needed a nice long break away from it all. He didn't want to deal with love…or people he didn't even know giving him stupid glares and stares. He noticed Sora's hand reaching out to his shoulder.
"Are you okay yet…?" The brown haired boy blinked innocently.
Riku stood swiftly and firmly, ignoring attempts of kind gestures from Sora. He dusted off, and helped Sora up. After softening his expression, realizing Sora noticed he wasn't angry with him, or anyone, he twirled around to the opposite direction and…ran.
"R…Riku?!" Sora blinked dumbfounded, his assuredness that everything was okay shattering around at his feet. After standing there for a few seconds, the thought of possibly trying to run after Riku to catch him popped into mind.
"W-Wait, Riku!" Sora shouted out with quite a quick running start, but was immediately stopped by a figure he so gracefully whomped into in front of him.
"Awwp…w-wait Riku!" He called looking over the person's shoulder. The silver haired boy's figure disappeared so soon, and Sora sighed with failure.
"H-Hey watch where you're grabbing, pervert!" The young teenager shoved Sora off from her upper sensitive area, with raging eyes.
Sora bowed a few times, making sure to be clear on how sorry he was, but then took a second look with a startled stare.
"Err….K-Kairi, heeeey…" He sweat dropped. Sora was much more interested in catching up with Riku than talking with Kairi.
"Ack, Sora?!" The red headed girl's cheeks blushed furiously from noticing a friend's face. She turned around to give a glance at what Sora might've been looking at, but found nothing.
"Umm…what were you chasing?" She asked quietly, eyes searching for Riku.
"O…oh….well, funny thing actually…Riku went running off that way." Sora scratched his head with a stubborn smile, dusting off his jacket.
"Riku…? What was he doing running away?"
Kairi stared into Sora's blue eyes for a few seconds, exchanging no words, then seemed to start thinking. This sure felt like it had just happened.
"Let's go get him. Umm, together
though." She giggled.
