Rubba dub tub

"ok now remember sora, its just a TV...none of the characters can jump out and get you"

I stared at the TV riku set up in the bathroom for me to watch while he was at work. He had spent about a good 2 hours explaining to me how the TV worked the night before and I was pretty sure now that I could handle watching it without freaking out...although I still had my share of concerns about it. I still had a few questions that were nagging at me to be asked, but I didn't really want to disturb riku as he carefully combed his hair and did other morningly preparations. After a little while I couldn't take the silence and decided to ask something anyway.

"riku, are you sure? I mean what if..."

"NO 'what if's' sora. The worst thing a TV can do is...I don't know...send you subliminal messages or something I guess. I'll be back in a few hours and I'll try my best to pick some things up for tonight ok?"

"ok, but..."

"ok, bye sora!" he turned and hurriedly scooted out the door leaving me sitting in the tub alone. I sighed and started to stretch out into a yawn when I noticed riku's 'dog' thing making its way over to the toilet. It stopped and looked at me for a while, and then barked at me and started making snarling noises. I panicked and screamed out riku's name in what I thought was English, but realized shortly afterward it had been in dolphin instead. Riku came bursting in through the door and looked around frantically.

"WHAT?!? WHAT IS IT?!?"

he then looked down and blinked a few times in silence as he stared at his dog. "sora...please do not tell me you did the 'dolphin squeak' thing over the dog."

I felt myself turn red and replied "well...an accident it 'twas and....I didn't mean to..."

"DAMNIT SORA!!"

I jumped and stared at riku wide-eyed. I didn't know why, but it pained me to see riku mad...to hear him shout. It reminded me exactly of my 'father' and how he would always yell at me for little things. I wanted very badly to burst into a sob, but managed to choke it back to a just quiet whimper. The anger in riku's face instantly disappeared and was replaced by what looked like guilt. I tried to look away, but he gently grabbed my face and forced me to look into his eyes. As I stared I noticed in the reflection of them that my own had changed color.

"green...sora don't be scared, I'm sorry, its just..."

he sighed and sat in the chair placed beside me. "its just that I cant risk someone hearing that in one of the other floors and coming to check it out. I told you exactly what would happen to you if someone else found you, did I not?"

I bit my bottom lip and nodded. "sora, I don't want that to happen to you. I want to keep you safe, and I want you to be able explore the surface world, but in order for that to happen you need to be as quiet as a mouse while I'm gone ok? No squeaking"

"ok...but aren't you going to be late?"

riku looked at his watch and swore under his breath. He then stood up and made his way to the door, but then turned and walked back to me. He bent over and gave me a light kiss on the forehead and gave me a kind smile before he ran out the door, this time not coming back.

"wow riku, you look exhausted"

I turned around to find tidus looking at me with a very concerned look on his face. Oh great, here we go again...

"riku is something wrong? You didn't answer your phone last night when I tried to call you about our runway decisions today and that's very unlike you. The only time you don't answer the phone is either when your with your girlfriend doing god knows what, or something's bothering you and you don't want to talk about it, and I've told you a million times that if you ever have something on your mind your uncomfortable talking to someone else about you can always come to me because I'll understand and I'm sure I can help you through whatever it is and I wont make fun of you about it. I mean I can guarantee you that if you ever need a shoulder to cry on I'll be there and if you ever feel like the world is against you like you did about 3 weeks ago during the Caribbean cruise, which was quite funny if you ask me although I can understand why you wouldn't think it be funny because of the whole..."

"TIDUS, SHUT UP!"

he jumped back and let out a frustrated sigh. "well jeez, I was only trying to help, but if you want to go off and be an ass like that well then screw you, because I don't need people like you in my life that will bring me down and make me feel bad and hurt my feelings just because they're having some inner issues and are to stupid and cowardly to ask for help from friendly and willing and civilized people like me, who by the way have more friends are more likely to get rich and famous for their adorable looks and kind personality unlike you, you big bossy pain in 'not quite as sexy as mine' ass so THERE!"

with that he turned around huffily, marched back into his dressing room and slammed the door as hard as he could. I started to feel bad for yelling at him like that, I mean after all, he was only a pre teen model...in other words just a kid, but he DID kind of deserve it. I mean...if he could see that I was exhausted, then why in hell would he come up and start babbling like that? He KNEW how much it annoyed me, but it almost seemed as though he didn't care...or maybe that he just forgot. Either way, I had decided not to apologize and just go on with my life since I had something obviously way more important on my mind...how to get out of my date with kairi tonight. There was no way I could possibly risk her coming over and finding sora. I knew for a fact she would freak out and want to call the police or something...or want me kill him. I sighed and walked over to my bosses office to see when I was scheduled for another photo shoot. Just as I was about to open the door I heard a familiar voice calling me from behind. I turned around and saw cloud making his way over to me.

"hey riku...u mind if I ask you about something?"

I put my hand on the door knob and slowly began turning it "uhh...I kinda have to go see the..."

"he took off sick today, but he left me the key so to his office...maybe we should go in there to talk instead"

"huh? Cloud what are you...your not making sense..."

he quickly unlocked and opened the door, pushed me in, and closed and locked it behind him. "cloud, what the hell..." before I could go on he shoved a folded news paper in face. I grabbed it and walked over to my bosses chair and sat down to read it.

!!!!!MERMAID BOY FOUND ON BEACH !!!!!

'Early Sunday morning around 6 am, a young jogger by the name of kairi was taking a stroll around the beach as she normally would when she noticed a young person laid out on the beach. It wasn't until further analysis that she realized that the person was in fact a Mermaid. "it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen" she told us, "I ran back to my car as fast as I could, grabbed my camera, and then took a picture...I was going to take more, but I ran out of film. I went home to get some, but when I came back to the beach the boy was gone" there have also been reports from other beach strollers of seeing someone with brightly colored hair lifting him and taking him from the scene accompanied by a brown dog......'

That was all I could handle. I stared at the paper in total disbelief. How had anyone seen me? I certainly didn't see them! I unfolded the paper and nearly had a heart attack as I stared at the blown up picture of sora laying out on the beach just the way I found him...one arm under his bushy head, and the other half buried in sand...two gills on each side of his neck (which were up at that moment revealing his inner neck)...and of course that huge tail fin of his. I looked closer and realized that something was different...when I found him he had normal 'human' looking hands, but in this picture his finders were webbed together and he had small claws. At first I began to wonder if maybe the picture was a fake, but of course I knew it wasn't. there's no way she could have faked this picture...it was sora alright. I slowly set the paper down on my lap and took in a deep shaky breath. Sensing my discomfort, cloud gently placed one of his hands on my shoulder. He then walked over to the front of me, crouched down, and looked at me with a concerned face.

"riku...do you know anything about this boy?"

oh shit...he knows...he knows I know something...but what do I do?, what do I say? Can I trust him? I mean what if I tell him and then some how kairi finds out? She'll want to see sora, and the she'll want to sell sora so they can experiment on him and then...I cant let that happen...no way...but...this IS cloud I'm talking about...not motor mouth tidus. But still. I cant...I wont...I...

"yes...yes I do..."

"SORA, I'M HOME!"

I closed the door behind me and walked into the silent apartment I called my own. I threw all my stuff onto my white couch beside me, tugged off my tie, kicked off my shoes, and walked into the bathroom to hand him the McDonalds happy meal I had picked up for him on the way home from work and some other places I had to stop off at. As soon as I opened the door I had to cover my ears to block out the new and ANNOYING Brittany Spears song 'Toxic', which sora had at full volume. I snatched the remote from the floor and muted the TV, but sora didn't even seem to notice.

"AND I LOVE WHAT YOU DO, BUT YOU KNOW THAT YOUR TOXIC!!!"

"SORA!!!!"

he stopped singing and stared at me for a few moments, and then snatched the bag I had in my hands.

"took thy long enough, I'm like starving!...hey, what 'tis this anyway?"

I had barely heard him, I was too busy trying to figure something out. "sora...the TV was really loud...but I didn't hear it when I walked in...or you for that matter (thank god)...how...?"

"the room...I sound proofed it"

I stared at him in disbelief as he unwrapped his sandwich and sniffed at it. "sound proofed it? Sora, you cant just sound proof something"

"well maybe you cant, but I can"

I blinked a few times. "how...?"

"riku, u like sound like this surprises you...I mean...like...I AM a merman aren't I? so wouldn't it make sense if I used magic? And I mean like...it had to be done anyway, with that like maid lady being here and t'all"

I stood there dumbfounded. "wait...the maid came today? Did she see you!?!...and why the hell are you saying 'like' a lot all the sudden?"

He scarfed down the sandwich and grabbed for another. "I was watching the TV and you Americans say 'like' a lot, so I figured it would like make me sound less like a freak...and no, no maid saw me. Hey, I practiced my magic, wanna see what I can do?"

I sat down and dropped the remote. "uhh...not now sora...I'm a little stressed right now...and don't say 'like' anymore"

He shrugged and said "word, I feel ya homie...but you don't know what your missing...ish the shizzle"

I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could, sora stuck his hand out and made a turning motion with it in the direction of the door. The door closed and locked. I stared at the door, then at sora. my god...I honestly have no idea what I've gotten myself into have I? maybe cloud was right...maybe I shouldn't have taken him back with me...maybe I should have left him there... I glanced over at sora who was staring at me looking hurt. His eyes turned a deep blue and a tear rolled down his cheek.

"what's wrong?!?"

he sniffed a few times and tried to wipe away his tears (which didn't work because his hands were wet) "riku...why...?"

"why what?"

"why would you reconsider saving me?!?! And...and..." his eyes went from blue to red. "WHO THE HELL IS CLOUD?? You told him about me??!? HUH?? 'TIS THAT WHAT YOU DID?"

a glass vase that was placed next to the mirror, (a gift from kairi) shattered into a million pieces, while a portable mirror I had laying on the counter flew off and crashed against a wall. It was obvious that it was from sora's anger, but I didn't quite understand what it was he was angry about...and how had he known about me telling cloud? I hadn't said anything, I only...oh shit...I think he knows how to...

"READ MINDS" he shouted finishing my inner sentence.

I jumped back. "sora its not like that, I swear! I'm just a little scared of the situation! I would have never left you there! I ...."

"WHO THE FUCK IS CLOUD?!?!"

I felt like I was arguing with my dad or something...afraid that if I answered any question wrong he would beat the shit out me. "cloud is...well he's this guy at work and we can totally trust him sora, don't worry! He was only telling me that I should have thought things through first before I just jumped right into things and took you to my house! He was only saying I should have tried to conceal you better because someone saw me with you and now your probably all over the news!"

His eye color eased up and slowly fell back to its original blue. "riku...if you could go back...do it all again...would you leave me?...leave me to die?"

I stood up and leaned over the tub and pulled sora close to me, getting my self wet in the process. "no...I would never leave you...don't ever think that sora...I...I lo-"

Before I could finish, sora grabbed me by me shirt and pulled me into the tub with him. He shifted around to get comfortable and then pressed his lips against mine. I was shocked at first and tried to pull away, but something made me change my mind. I started licking at his lips and kissing at his chin and down his neck. I slowly began to work my way down and let my tongue glide down to his chest and over to his right nipple. He let out a soft moan and dug his fingers into my hair. I looked up at him and noticed his eyes had now turned a lovely shade purple which I was guessing stood for lust or something. I licked around the nipple and then took it into my mouth licking and sucking at it. His grip on my hair tightened and he let out one of his squeals...only this time I understood it. "riku...more". His tail began thrashing around causing water to splash out over the sides...which reminded me...he had a tail. I stopped and looked up at sora, who in turn let out a now frustrated squeal that I also understood. "why did you stop?!?" I laughed inwardly to myself realizing I was understanding dolphin.

"sora...I don't know what to do with you. You don't have a normal human body"

"what do you mean?"

"I don't know how to...or even where to...well...put it in"

he blushed and gently pushed me off him. "well then...I guess we should stop"

"why?"

"because I have no idea how to get it in either"

I rolled my eyes and got out of the tub. I was soaking wet and I was getting cold. I was about to walk out and change clothes when I remembered the stuff I had picked up after work. I turned back to sora a smiled. He raised an eyebrow.

"what?"

"I got the stuff for your transformation...so don't worry...after you get your legs, I'll know exactly what to do you"

I winked and left to go change leaving sora in the tub staring after me.

why on earth do I insist on writing when its late?
