I'm sorry I took so long to update, but I just got Final Fantasy X-2 and I'm really addicted to it. Plus, I'm running for Secretary at my school and I've been working on the campaign. Well, enough of my excuses. On with the story….
Chapter 3
Riku ran as fast as he could to the other side of the island. He soon saw Sora and Kairi sitting on the shore watching the sunset.
"Sora!" he called as he ran up to them. "Riku!" the red-head squealed as she hugged her old friend as hard as she could. He lightly shoved her off so she wouldn't notice. "Riku…." Sora sighed with slight disbelief in his voice. "Sora," the oldest of the three interrupted him. "I need to talk to you…..in private." He lightly tugged on the brunette's arm and took him to a place where Kairi couldn't see them.
"Sora…" Riku kissed Sora softly on the lips, but the younger boy pulled away. "Sora, what's-" He turned away from Riku and covered his face. "Sora…." Riku repeated. "Riku, I'm so sorry." the silver-hair took the younger boy in his arms. "Sora, I'm the one who should be sorry. I shouldn't have left you." "I'm so sorry Riku." the brunette repeated. "For what?" "This." Sora took a small box out of his pocket and handed it to Riku. "Open it." Riku opened it and was shocked by what he saw inside. A small diamond sat in the box, glittering in the sun. "I was going to ask Kairi to marry me…" "But you told me you hated her." he said with slight hurt in his voice. "I know, but you're the reason I dated her."
"After you left," Sora started his story "I went into a deep depression. She kept insisting that I go out with her…she said it would take my mind off you. At first, it didn't but it eventually did. So I went out with her again. And again. And again. She fell in love with me and I faked being in love with her….pity I guess. Eventually, I really fell in love with her. I'm sorry to say, but after you were gone for five years, Kairi convinced me to give up hope. I'm really sorry, Riku."
Riku punched the wall. "That bitch!" "Don't call her a bitch, Riku." "Sora, did you forget how bad she treated us? She wouldn't talk to us for weeks after we told her we were together. It's a good thing she didn't tell Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka. Their even worse homophobes than she is…but that's not the point! Sora, I have to know. Who do you love? Me…or that little slut?" "Riku, you know I love you….but…." he started to cry a little. "But what, Sora?" Riku was starting to get angry, but you could see tears forming at the corners of his eyes.
"Riku….I-I have to think this over." Before he turned to leave, he whispered in Riku's ear "I still love you." and kissed him on the cheek. Then he turned, ran to the dock and started rowing home.
