Chapter Seven: Awaken the Conflicts
Part 2: Confusing Counterparts
Sora's last words rang dimly in Riku's ears. He was shocked and it was evidently written all over his normally calm and collected face. The cinnamon-haired boy paid no heed to his 'best friend's' (or should it be former) expressions. He felt like he couldn't possibly know him anymore. This wasn't the same silver-haired boy he knew and trusted with all his being. He wasn't the same one at all. He had changed and so had his feelings for Sora. Why was this so difficult? Why couldn't Riku just accept it that he was in love with Kairi? He was... wasn't he? She was the one he truly... loved.
"You can't mean that Sora," Riku spoke softly, disbelieving his own words. Sora just gazed into his eyes with his own cerulean orbs furiously, but sadly.
Riku brought his hand up to touch the red mark on his cheek gently with his fingertips. The skin on his injured cheek was very sensitive and the light touch of his fingers sent little jolts of pain down the side of his face to his jaw. Maybe he deserved this. Maybe he deserved it because if he would just let his angel be with Kairi then Sora could be happy. It didn't matter about his own happiness because he was only concerned with Sora.
"Believe it Riku. Those words are true. You betrayed our friendship. How could you try and kill Kairi? I might have been able after a while to forget about the slap you gave her if Kairi did but trying to KILL her is out of the question, even if she did forgive you. I never will and I don't think I could."
Those fierce words Sora spoke were low and deadly, but no matter how soft they were, they hit Riku straight into the vulnerable organ resting in his chest. Oh how it hurt to be scorned by the one you love desperately. He knew that the person you love most can hurt you the most, no matter how unintentionally. He didn't realize how true those words were until now.
"Sora, we've been friends pretty much our whole lives and you just want to end it, just like this," Riku questioned, praying that it wasn't too late for them.
"I wasn't the one who ended it. You are. You're the one who picked up the knife," Sora spoke softly and sadly, lowering his face from view. He didn't want their friendship to be over either but unfortunately, it could very possibly be too late to patch these problems up. Their conflicts had now awakened.
"I picked up the knife with good reason Sora and not the reason you were thinking," Riku tried to explain, turning his gaze away from his angel. His voice was still low and the tone in his voice sounded dejected. Sora looked up to catch a glimpse of his former best friend's aquamarine eyes, but they were already averted from his searching look.
"What possible reason could you have that would reasonably explain what the hell you were doing to Kairi?" Sora asked coldly. "Nothing will explain properly what you were doing. Nothing can make up the huge problem we now have to face and you were the one who did this! If you feel guilty for this, you better suck it up and live with it. This is your fault! So tell me now, what is your damn reason?!" Sora shouted, surprisingly not waking up Kairi's lifeless form lying on Selphie's bed as far as he could tell.
"I can't tell you..." Riku said dismally. This doleful statement only made Sora more furious than he already was.
"You can't tell me or is it because your reason can't possibly dismiss the problem we now have? You can't make this go away Riku, no matter how much we want it to!" The azure-eyed boy paused and gave Riku a hurt look, even if he wasn't facing him. "How could you... how could you bring yourself... to do this? What made you... try and kill her?"
Sora didn't even realize Riku was standing in front of him until he felt a gentle hand lift his chin so he was staring into his aqua green eyes. The said hand then cupped his cheek softly. Sora's eyes shifted to look at the mark on the other boy's cheek, the mark he had made. He felt his eyes water slightly, but a smooth voice broke him out of his guilt trip for a moment.
"Sora, do you hate me?" the other boy questioned. The cinnamon-haired boy's eyes were focused on Riku's lips as the moved when he spoke, the words that were directed to him.
The younger teen felt himself shake his head in answer to the question. "No... I don't hate you. I don't think I could ever bring myself to hate you no matter what happened. Sometimes I feel like you're a part of me Riku and hating you would make me hate myself. I don't know if I could live with myself then. But I guess if I will myself not to hate you, I'm just being selfish so I wouldn't hate what I had become to turn you away from me."
Soft lips descended onto his own pair but Sora neither pushed nor accepted those searching lips. Was Riku's question just used as an excuse to kiss Sora? If Riku found out, Sora couldn't hate him ever, would he use that to his advantage so he could get closer to Sora? Even when those questions interrogated his mind, Sora brushed them away because at the moment, he could care less.
Sora felt himself respond slowly, kissing back languidly but never parting his lips to allow entrance. He just wanted some comfort and he was being selfish again, taking all he could get from his companion. He was confused but through all his tormented feelings, he wanted Riku. He wanted to feel him and he wanted himself to feel alive, one of the many feelings only Riku could bring out of him.
Just as quickly as the kiss had started, it had abruptly been ended leaving Sora shaking with want. He didn't know when he had snaked his arms around Riku's neck, but there they were and Sora made no move to pull away. Neither did the other boy. The Keyblade master left his eyes closed with no intention of opening them. He didn't know that the other boy was mimicking his actions, keeping his arms around the other warm body and his eyes shut.
"Sora, did you feel that? Did you feel my lips upon yours?" Riku received a nod as a response and a husky, low voice announcing and accompanying the nod with an affirmative. "The truth was they were there and you know it, you even said so yourself. The truth of this problem is that I was here with Kairi and yes, I was standing over her but even like my lips, I wasn't there forever and I won't be in a few days. My lips can be deceiving and like my actions, they're not always what they seem to be. That's the only evidence I can give you." He kept his voice soft and whispery, just loud enough for Sora to hear his words, even if he didn't understand them.
The Keyblade master finally opened his eyes to reveal the striking dark azure color that was clouded with lust and confusion along with his normal innocence. His orbs met with Riku's own aquamarine, misty with sincerity and love (the emotion Sora couldn't decipher).
"Wait a second. What did you mean you won't be here in a few days? Are you going away? Where are you going?" Sora asked, his eyes starting to slowly regain back its true original color, not tampered with other emotions.
"That's not important," Riku responded, moving away from the other boy. If he didn't, he felt as if he was going to pounce on the boy and never let him go. Sadly, he realized, that would never happen.
"Who are you to decide what's important and what's not?!" Sora yelled, remembering their earlier actions consisting mostly of Kairi's death and his accusation of Riku's involvement. "I say this is important. What were you planning to do? Kill Kairi and then flee the scene before someone caught you!" Riku looked hurt and tried to turn his face away but Sora grabbed hold of his chin and held him still. "Answer me, damn it!" The silver-haired boy averted his eyes to the side, keeping them under the shadows of his silky hair. His emotions were hidden from site, making him seem like a statue until his lips moved with his words filled with venom.
"So, you don't trust me, is that it? After everything we've been through together and after that promise we made in the cave, you have not even an ounce of trust in me?" Sora looked a little shocked, when Riku brought up that friendship promise.
"You actually remember that?" Sora asked, not leaving the surprise out of his voice. The other boy turned his eyes back to look into those hypnotizing orbs of blue, disgust written all over his face and tone.
"Of course I remember that. I'm surprised you even wanted yourself to remember that and even have the guts to reminisce about it. But after all, that was the day when Kairi had come to the island. You spent the whole day reviving her after you found her on the beach. I can't believe you actually took the time to look for me afterwards when she had finally come into your life. Your precious little hikari," Riku spoke those words with extra bitterness.
"Was that why you were so upset in the cave?" the cerulean-eyed boy asked, not troubled by Riku's earlier words and the tone in his voice that was still ringing in his ears like bells. A veil masked Riku's emotions, not revealing himself to his former best friend.
"No, but it's interesting that you nursed her when you found her on the beach and when you found me, you healed me as well. I guess we both rank the same as your friends," he spoke, sneering the last word like it was a curse. "Both of us are dear to you but I wonder, Sora. Who is the one who ranks the highest in your heart? I bet I can take a guess and I'll only need one chance. Surely, you know who I'm talking about," Riku said, turning his head to the left and his eyes towards the bed.
"That's not true!" Sora exclaimed, letting go of Riku's chin and clenching his hands into fists at his sides, but it didn't look as if Sora believed his words either. His face looked stressed and emotions like disbelief, confusion, anger, and shock were all evident as a clear sky on his face. He was always too easy to read for Riku.
"Or is it? Tell me. When we were lost in different worlds, who was the one you were always searching for? At Hollow Bastion, you found out that Kairi's heart was inside you. That could only happen if you reciprocated her love and accepted it, which you did gladly. It was always her!!" Riku shouted. "You were always with her. You always fought for her! Why did it always have to be about her?! Why couldn't it have been..." Riku stopped, not wanting to divulge in anymore secrets that were only meant for his thoughts. He couldn't risk revealing anymore about himself so he lowered his head from view, not wanting Sora to see him this way. Why had he become this? It was a wonder Sora was still in the same room with him.
"What Riku? Why couldn't it have been what?" he asked, trying to Riku to share more with him, trying to show Riku that it was okay. It wasn't that he didn't trust Riku. He was so confused. He was going to be unreasonable because he didn't even know why he was acting like this himself. But then he realized, he just didn't want Riku to turn him away. Why did he always have to be so selfish?!
"Nothing," Riku answered quietly, walking closer to Kairi's bed. Sora made no move to stop him.
"No Riku. Please tell me. You can trust me," Sora said, trying to encourage the other to continue.
The silver-haired boy chuckled bitterly. "Trust you? You want me to trust you, huh? The same way you trusted me. The same way to trusted me BEFORE you blamed me for trying to kill Kairi. What a brilliant way to try and earn my trust Sora. Quite sensational," he replied sacastically.
"I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted..." Sora said softly, speaking to Riku's turned back. The said boy rotated around to face the azure-eyed teen, his eyes flaming with rage. He slowly started closing in on Sora, backing him into a corner so he couldn't escape.
"What you wanted?! What about me?! What about what I wanted?! Do you think for one moment that it wasn't you I wanted to tell my secrets to? What if I didn't want to talk to you?! What if I wanted something else?!" Sora was already trapped. His back was pressing against the turtle wallpapered surface of the wall and his eyes were wide like a deer caught in the headlights of a car. He couldn't quite decide on how he was feeling but he knew, he didn't want Riku to act like this. Riku's hands came up and smashed dangerously on either side of Sora's head leaving a dent in Selphie's walls.
"Well... What do you want?" Familiar words came back to Sora. 'How about I show you instead?' A light tinge of pink crept up upon Sora's cheeks.
"Why would it matter to you?" The words may have sounded venomous but in Riku's voice, there was only confusion.
Their faces were so close to each other that they could feel the other's breath on their lips. Their noses were almost touching, along with their bodies. If one of them just moved up an inch or two, they would be pressed against each other fully and none of them would have the strength to move apart.
"Because Riku... I do trust you and I would like for you to be able to trust me as well," Sora whispered, bringing his right hand up to toy with a strand of hair that fell into Riku's face. Before he could touch the strand of silver, Riku's brought his left hand up to stop Sora's searching fingers. He clasped their hands together and laced their fingers together. His pale flawless skin against Sora's tan childlike hand contrasted beautifully. Their eyes looked at their hands together and then they glanced up, locking onto each other.
"Why?" Riku breathed out. It felt like his lungs were compressed and he couldn't breathe to well. His heart felt like it had jumped into his throat and the feel of Sora's hand in his own was almost unbearable. He wanted to reach out and kiss him senseless, but he also wanted to know the other boy's answer.
"We've been friends forever and I don't want us to stop being together. I want us to be together always, but if that's not what you want, if that's not what makes you happy, then I'll give you what you want. You're right. I am selfish but now, I'm going to repay you. I'm going to give you what you want," Sora answered sincerely as possible, not trying to displease his best friend.
"I'm not too sure you can really give me what I want..." Riku whispered, leaning a little closer into Sora so that his lips lightly brushed against Sora's.
"Let me be the judge of that," Sora said determinedly, his voice not faltering once.
"I want... I want... you," Riku spoke, lowering his head in embarrassment.
"Always wanting what you can't have, huh Riku," spoke a high-pitched and scratchy voice. Riku turned his head around to get a look at their interrupter only to come face to face with a red-haired teenage girl. ::Oh, great. The mighty princess of hearts has awaken::

That was part two. I know it was shorter than the last but this seems like a good place to stop. There's another little hint. This chapter is called awaken the conflicts and guess who just woke up. Geez I would have thought someone who have guessed on this hint last chapter. Oh well... Part three will come out soon.
Thanks so much to my seven reviewers of the last chapter: Rinoki Rio, shadowsdancingdragon, Ocean-eyed Songstress, Fallen angel of darkness, kitsune-sama, kittylover16, and Sora Otaku. I'm glad you liked my last chapter. Your reviews make me want to keep writing now that I know you enjoyed it.
