Chapter 8: The Test Of Friendship
Riku waited patiently for Sora to return to his room. After about 10 minutes, Riku didn't have to wait any longer. Sora soon returned wearing one of his fav shirts. Riku had started to drool and couldn't take his eyes off him. He got up off of Sora's bed and started to walk up to him, slowly.
"Wow, you...you look great. I just love you in that shirt."
"Oh, why thank you." He said as he turned around on the spot and giggled. Riku was right in front of Sora and reached his arms out and wrapped them around Sora's waist. "Oh my, Riku...." Sora started to say but was stopped when Riku pressed his lips on his. Riku pulled away and looked at him.
"Please, don't say a word. I want this moment to last forever. I just love you so much."
"I love you too Riku." Then they shared one more kiss before being interrupted by Sora's mom. She was calling them down for breakfast and they were soon on their way down the stairs.
When they got to the end of the stairs, Sora's mom greeted them. "Well, good morning Sora. Did you have a good sleep?"
Sora blushed and nodded his head. "Yes mom."
"I made soon breakfast for you guys. I hope you like it Riku. It's one of Sora's favourite meals."
"Thank you." Riku said as he sat down at the table, across from Sora of course. He wanted to be able to look at Sora the whole time. Sora's mom watched as the two kept looking at each other and smiling/blushing.
Sora's mom got up from the table when all of them were done eating. She grabbed the plates and began walking into the kitchen. "Oh, Sora..."
"Yes mom?"
"Are you two going out today to the beach again?"
"I think so. We haven't talked about it yet, but then again, we always end up going anyway."
"Okay Sora, but be home by 8pm tonight. It is starting to get darker earlier out there."
"Sure mom."
Sora looked over at Riku and told him that they were leaving. They got their shoes and jackets on, and left. As soon as Sora closed the door behind him, Riku grabbed his hand. He blushed but didn't pull away. They both had a talk the night before, and decided that they would tell their friends but they weren't sure when they would, or how. As they got closer to the beach, they spotted Tidus and Selphie. They were sitting on a big rock that was at the edge of the water. Selphie had her head on Tidus' shoulder and they were holding hands. Riku and Sroa both thought it was so cute. They didn't want to bother them. They put down their things and started to set up their chairs. When they were done, Tidus noticed they were there.
"Hey guys!" Tidus yelled as he turned around and waved.
"Hi." They both said at the same time.
Tidus and Selphie both got up and walked over to the boys. Selphie was in her usual happy/hyper mood, and Tidus was in his relaxing mood. The two of them had noticed that Riku and Sora were acting a bit different. They would blush after making eye contact with each other and would laugh alot about the stupidest things. Selphie and Tidus knew something was up.
Selphie was the first to ask, "Ummm....are you guys okay or what? You two are acting kind of strange today."
"Oh, it's nothing." Sora replied sounding a bit nervous.
"Come on Sora. You're a bad lier. We can tell something is up with you two and you're not telling us."
"Well, I guess you're right but ummm....." Riku looked over at Sora, expecting him to finish what he was saying. Sora just blushed even more.
"Oh my gosh! I think I know what it is!!" Riku and Sora both tensed up. "This is so cute!! I just can't believe this! Wow!! I knew it would happen sooner or later." Selphie screamed as she jumped around with excitement.
"Is she right you guys?"
They both were extremely red. "Umm...."
"Are you guys really an item now?" They both looked at him and nodded. "Wow, this is great. You guys are such a good couple." Riku and Sora didn't know what to expect from them, but they were happy with what they got.
"Come on you guys, let's go swimming!" Selphie suggested as she ran into the water.
They all agreed and Tidus soon followed her in. Riku and Sora both had their swimming shorts on under their clothes. They took them off and raced to the water. Riku was ahead of Sora but ended up tripping when Sora pushed past him. Sora laughed as Riku got up and went after him. They got in the water and started splashing each other.
"They are just so cute. It was about time they got together."
"You got that right, Selphie." Tidus said as he looked over at Selphie and gave her a big splash.
Everyone was having a great time, except for one person, who was on their way to the shore when they overheard what the others were just talking about. They stopped heading for the shore and instead went on top pf a nearby hill, that overlooked the beach.
"How could this happen? I don't know what to do now? I feel...I feel so alone now." Kairi said as she started to cry. She wrapped her arms around her legs and pulled them up to her chest. She sat up there fro a long time, just watching everyone else having fun without her.
It was around 3 when they got out of the water to have a snack. They walked over to where Riku and Sora had set up their stuff. They took some food out of the bag they brought and they divided it out.
"I wonder where Kairi is? She should have been here by now."
"You're right, Selphie. Maybe something came up." Riku said.
When they were done, they sat on the beach and talked about stuff. They didn't even see Kairi on the hill. She looked down at them and began to get mad. 'How can they do this to me? How can they just ignore me and not even care?', she thought to herself. She stood up and started to go down the hill. She went up to the others and greeted them as nicely as she could.
"Hey guys. How's it goin?"
"Oh, hi Kairi. We were just wondering where you were. What took you so long?"
"I had to clean my room before I was allow to go out."
"Oh ok." Sora said.
"So...did you hear?" Selphie asked.
"Hear what?" She knew exactly what she was talking about, but to them, she wasn't there.
"About Sora and Riku."
"What about them?"
"They are finally together now. Isn't that great?"
"Oh, yes that is great." Kairi lied. She hated the idea and didn't want it to be true. Selphie could sense that it bugged her a bit but she just shrugged it off.
"So....what are we going ot do now? I'm bored just sitting here." Tidus complained.
"Well, I don't know." Said Sora.
Riku leaned in closer to him and whisper in his ear. "I can think of something you and I could do if we were alone."
Sora blushed at the comment but tried to make it look like it was nothing. Riku didn't care though because he made sure no one else heard what he said, or so he thought. Kairi had heard it and was disgusted. Well, she didn't have anything against two guys going out, but she didn't like the fact that they didn't want her. No one did, and that was bugging her. She always had a crush on both of them and thought she would end up with one of them. But now that all changed and she felt crushed inside.
"Look, I think I should go home."
"But Kairi, why? I though you said you already finished cleaning."
"Ya but I got a lot of homework to do, and I don't want to fall behind."
"Oh, okay. I guess we'll just see ya later then."
"Okay. Bye guys." Kairi said as she waved and walked off. She didn't have any homework, but she didn't feel right being around them. She just felt like being alone. She looked back at them once and noticed that they were all laughing and they were holding hands with the ones they loved. She never felt so pathetic in her life and she didn't like it one bit.
