"Riku?"
I could hear a voice calling me from my sleep, but it wasn't the voice I had wanted to hear. It was my mum.
"Mmmfff," I answered, rolling over and trying to drift back to sleep, covering my head with my pillow so she would get the message.
"Riku, what are you doing here?"
I sighed and pushed the pillow away, sitting up drowsily.
"Do I have to justify why I'm at my own home?" I was getting a little irritated. Why couldn't she just leave me alone? She had all the rest of my life.
"Honey, you know what I mean. Shouldn't you be at school? It's only eleven AM..."
"Oh... what are you doing home?" I asked guiltily.
"Riku, you should be at school! Have you been doing this often? Tell me if you have, I promise I won't be angry love..."
"Mum, I just don't feel well ok?" I answered, flopping back on to my pillow and waving my hand at her to ward her off.
I could hear her sigh as she lifted herself off my bed and walked out of my room, closing the door gently behind her. What had she been doing in my room anyway?
I inwardly glared at my mother as I watched her rush outside through my window, swiftly leaping into her Mercedes and driving out of our driveway. 'Wish I could talk to Sora' I thought, wishing I had acted a little less dramatically before. What would he think I had thought? Well, I just needed to apologise to him and forget about it and it would all be the same as before. In fact, the more I thought about it, the smaller this whole dilemma seemed to be. Great!
I decided I couldn't get back to sleep- my mind was way too busy- so I dragged myself out of bed and down the stairs as I tried to smooth my hair out. The hair elastic had fallen out of my hair as I had slept, I noticed. My hair was everywhere too! I trailed over to the sink and twisted the tap, releasing a small stream of water. I ran my fingers underneath it, twisting the tap further as I drenched my whole head in water to disguise my bed hair.
The cool sensation was calming and I ran my hands across my face as the droplets trickled down and onto my neck, drying as it ran down my top. I brushed through my hair to straighten it out and shook my head like a wet dog.
My eyes almost popped out of my head as I looked at the clock, realising that I had been thinking in my bed for hours, and school ended in five minutes!
My disbelieving look soon transformed into a smile as I realised that this meant I could talk to Sora as soon as he got home, which I knew wouldn't be long- Sora never took long to get away from school!
I almost bounced across the kitchen from the happiness of finally being able to end this. I halted suddenly and even my happiness couldn't hide the embarrassment. There in the open doorway stood Sora, blushing yet grinning at the sight of bouncing Riku.
"H-Hey..."
"Hi Sora. Um, wanna go for a walk?"
"Yeah! That would be great."
I walked over lazily to him, relieved that I didn't have to abandon my dignity by going to see him before he came to me. I smiled effortlessly, naturally, glad to see him at my doorstep. It was now or never...
"Hey Sor?" I asked as I brushed over to him after closing the door. I felt myself shudder at the touch, and pulled away.
"I'm really... sorry..."
His face lit up and he almost leaned in to hug me. He got a sudden hold of his senses and blushed furiously.
"No sweat! We're best friends, right?"
He reached his hand out and I took it gladly.
"Right."
We started to laugh and began to run with each other, in sync with each other's steps and movements.
After a few minutes we had slowed down to a casual walk and our grasp on each other's hands had slowly slipped away. I looked at Sora and grinned as I watched him scuff his shoes along the ground as he walked and smiled dreamily up at the beautiful blue sky.
My gaze shifted as I noticed slight movement out of the corner of my eyes and I almost groaned out loud at the thought of someone interrupting our peace.
"Hello boys, what's up?"
"Oh... um, hi Kairi. Just walkin."
Sora nodded shyly at her, smiling back at me.
"Well you two sure do look happy," she smiled, dropping into our pace and scuffing her shoes just like Sora had been.
We had all slowed so much that we were just standing there. I stopped daydreaming and looked over at Kairi who was twisting her finger in her hair mindlessly, her big eyes blinking dreamily. My gaze shifted to the boy swinging on his legs next to me, my Sora. He was flexing his fingers and tracing over the fingerless gloves in a smooth pattern.
Suddenly I remembered what Sora had mentioned before- the double date! Perfect!
"So Sora, how about Selphie's party, hmm?"
"Yeah, what about it?" he blinked. I smacked my forehead dramatically.
"You gonna bring Kairi?" I said loudly, nudging him in the ribs. Kairi snapped out of her dreamy state and smiled warmly at him.
"Oh right... sure, wanna go Kai?"
Kairi huffed a little, disappointed at how unenthusiastic he seemed about it.
"Yeah I'd love to... what about Riku?"
Sora looked at her with shock in his eyes.
"Yeah, how does us going to the party together affect Riku?" he blurted out with a slight bit of panic in his voice.
"Well who are we gonna fix him up with silly? I mean, couldn't ya have like anyone Ri?"
Sora pouted at her, but she hadn't noticed. She was too busy looking expectantly at Riku.
"Ha, yeah sure! Well I dunno..." I trailed off, not wanting to really go with anyone.
"Ohhh, Riku sounds like he's hiding something," she cackled evilly, "Riku likes someone, hehe!!"
"No, Riku likes nobody!" I snapped back at her, rolling my eyes at the glares I received from both of them.
"Ok ok, you can do your fixing up... but I want a good date, ya hear?!"
"Yes master Riku, Kairi will get you the hottest girl on the island!" she screamed, beaming.
"It'll take you forever Kai, you'll have to go through the line-ups of girls from all over wanting to go on a date with him! You know what they're like!" Sora piped up, pouting as Kairi took no notice of him at all.
"I'm going to leave you boys now, 'cause the wonderful Kairi is going to find a hottie for Riku, and I promise she will be deserving of you!"
At that she bowed and ran away, squealing with excitement. I rolled my eyes once again and flopped down on to the sand, gripping Sora's wrist as I dragged him down with me.
"OOF!!!"
Sora landed on top of me unexpectedly and I blinked at him as he jumped up a metre away from me.
"Hey, what are you doing? Come back here you strange strange little boy," I chuckled, patting the sand next to me.
Sora scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly at me, slipping down on to the ground next to me, brushing against my arm. This time I didn't shudder... it felt too natural...
"Hey Ri..."
I leaned up on my arms and nodded at him.
"Why did you run away from me today?"
I shot upright and flung my arms beside me. I sighed heavily and steadily.
"I dunno Sora... I guess you just scared me..."
"I'm sorry for scaring you Riku, I didn't mean to... I was scared too you know."
I looked at him, this beautiful little boy. His hair was blowing softly in the breezes that were starting to come in at the shore and his eyes were clearer and bluer than ever, more determined and mature than I'd ever seen them. His skin was tanned but rosy, so perfect and clear that I could hardly believe it.
"But I'm here Sora, I'm not going to leave you, never. You know that."
I smiled at him, reaching out my hand to brush his messy tresses away from his face and behind his ears before leaning back on my arms again to look at the pretty sunset. Sora reached up to let his fingers play on the spot where I had brushed away his hair. He slipped down on the sand and lay there, no moving or talking, just smiling.
I didn't know it then, but what I had just said, and the gesture I had made, had caused Sora's feelings to stir. The spot I had touched left an emotional mark, and the words I had whispered to him in a simple reassuring gesture played over and over in his head. It's funny how you notice the little things so much more when you're in love...
