Chapter Three Secrets & New Friends
"Wow this is very....wow," Riku said almost whispering.
"RIKU! YOU DON'T HAVE TO WISPER THIS PLACE IS ALMOST SOUNDPROOF!!" Sora yelled on purpose, just to prove his point.
"You just should've said that Sora instead of yelling in my ear, ya know."
"Oh sorry."
"Ok so why did you bring me here?" Riku asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Well I dunno really but, to tell you the truth," he paused looking at his feet, "I got this vibe off of you. Like you needed a place to be alone, besides your room. People could find you there. Here nobody, except me can find you. Consider this your secret hideaway."
"Thanks, Sora. This place is awesome."
Is Sora trying to tell me something? He looks disappointed that I didn't tell him something. There is nothing to tell. Unless he realized that we have a rough past. But does he honestly think I'm going to tell him about the hell we've been through after only knowing him for a day? Come on, I'm not that naïve.
"No problem, Riku. But seriously, you can't tell anyone. I've never told a single person before I told you. So promise not to tell?" Sora said with a serious look on his face.
"Yeah, Sora. I promise." "So how did you find this place?" Riku asked curiously.
"Well, do you really want to know?"
"Yes I do, Sora."
"I um..kinda....um..sorta ran in to the....um opening." Sora mumbled shyly, while his face turned a lovely shade of tomato red.
"How did you manage to do that? Are you that clumsy?" Riku said laughing while Sora's face flushed even more to become blood red.
"Well I was playing in the waterfall when I felt something crawl onto my foot." Sora paused to sit on the floor, Riku then joined him. "So I ran out and tripped on a root growing out of the ground near the entrance. Covering the entrance was a bolder. I ran into the boulder, pushing it. It wasn't that heavy and pushed it through the tunnel to here." Sora said that rushing it so Riku wouldn't understand it because it wasn't all true. Something inside of Sora told him this place was here. But he didn't know what it was so he never questioned it. It didn't matter what did it cause at least he found his "cave of solitude" (that's Sora's name for the cave). That's all that mattered.
"That is a very interesting story, Sora. Guess you're really that clumsy."
That was the worst lie I have ever heard. I really should force the real story outta him but then he might not want to hang out with me. Right now I don't want to jeopardize that. A part of me actually wants to be friends with this clumsy kid. Plus I don't want to lose this piece of eye candy. SHIT! Why am I thinking this?!?
"So wadda wanna do now?" Sora said cocking his head to the side as if he was looking at something sideways.
"Well I wanna meet your friends that you speak so highly of." Riku said smiling.
"Ok I dunno if their home but that is cool with me." Sora said very excitedly. He couldn't wait for Riku to meet Squall, Cloud, Tidus & Wakka. Sora had more friends than that but those were his best friends.
"C'mon let's go!!" Sora practically yelled at Riku while pulling him out of the cave.
"Ok ok I'm coming you don't have to pull me!"
They walked through the neighborhood to Squall's house. He only lived a street behind Sora & Riku. Cloud lived on the same street as Squall, several houses down from Squall's. Tidus & Wakka lived in a different area of the neighborhood, closer to the high school.
"Are you gonna knock Sora?"
"Yeah."
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Leon's mom answered the door. "Oh hi Sora."
"Hi is Squall home?"
"Yes he is. Actually Cloud is here too. Go on up to his room."
"Thanks." Sora started to go towards the staircase when he realized Riku got stopped by Squall's mom. As he turned towards them she started playing 20 questions with Sora.
"Who is he? Did he move here? Where did he come from?" She sounded like a pre teen girl squealing and jumping around. She loved new people. She loved to find things out about people.
"Well don't ask me ask Riku." Sora said casually while Riku gave him a why-did-you-sic-her-on-me look.
"Ok so your Riku?" She said while turning around to face him.
"Yes I am Riku Morimoto A/N I couldn't come up with a better last name. Don't be mad ::tries to avoid glares:: My family and I are from Traverse Town. Any more questions you want me to answer?" Riku said kind of irritated but it didn't show. He was good at hiding any emotions behind his "mask."
"Yes just one more if you don't mind."
"Of course I don't mind." Riku said. He was also good at speaking to adults in a cordial manner. That was probably the only thing he learned from his "father"
"Why did you move here?" She said inquisitively.
It was like someone had slapped Riku hard in the face. Shit I knew she would've asked that. I can't say that we moved here because my abusive "father" almost killed my mom, raped my little sister almost every night and
"Hello Riku? Come in Riku. Do you copy?" Sora asked jokingly
"Oh sorry I zoned out for a minute." Riku said.
"Well aren't you going to answer her question?" Sora said, kinda annoyed he really wanted Riku to meet his friends & they had already spent like 10 minutes down in their living room.
"Yes we moved here because of my mom's work." Good. That saved my ass.
"Oh that's great. Well I've kept you both down here for long enough. Go up & see Squall now."
"Thanks again Mrs. Leonheart. See you later."
"Bye guys." She said. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but something wasn't right about that boy. It's probably imagination, I hope.
They walked up the stairs and down to the end of the hallway. It was a nice house. The Living room and the hallway were painted a soft green. Riku couldn't tell what the kitchen looked like but it was most likely a "chef's dream". Even though they weren't rich, they still had a pretty nice house. It's nicer than my house thought Riku.
Sora knocked lightly. "Open up. It's me." Sora said. "I've brought a friend."
Wow I'm actually his friend now. I'm kinda flattered.
Squall opened his door. "Hi Sora. Who's this." He said pointing his finger at Riku.
"Oh this is Riku he just moved in to the house next to me." Sora said.
"Hi" Riku said extending his hand out to Squall. "Nice to meet you."
Squall reached out and let his hand meet Riku's. "Nice to meet you too, Riku"
They shook hands and let go. It was a very "manly" moment between the two.
"You guys can come in ya know." Squall said smiling.
As soon as they entered the room Cloud jumped to his feet to greet A/N that rhymes!! Lol sorry plz continue reading & forget my stupidity::bows apologetically:: Riku. He immediately held out his hand to shake it.
"Hi I'm Cloud." He said with his hand still extended.
"I've noticed." Riku said jokingly but Cloud didn't pick up on that. He blushed slightly.
"Um ok then..." Cloud murmured embarrassed. God I am already pissing off the new kid. It doesn't help that he's INCREDIBLY HOTT!! He was pulled from his thoughts by Riku's voice.
"I was only kidding!! Seriously it's really nice to meet you Cloud." Riku said smirking.
"Oh, ok." Cloud said trying to laugh it off.
"Umm.. I guess I should tell you that I'm ummm.." Cloud said trying to get his words out.
"You're what?" Riku asked trying to figure out what he was trying to say.
"I'm ummm gay." Cloud said looking at his feet, avoiding eye contact with Riku.
"Cool, I have no problem with that. Actually I think it is great that you told me as soon as we met. That takes guts. I never woulda guessed that you were gay."
"Thanks, I guess." Cloud said a little shocked. Wonder why he's so accepting of me being gay.
"So what do you guys do around here all day?" Riku asked while sitting on the chair next to Squall's bed. His room was pretty cool. He had a hi-tech stereo system that was playing a Linkin Park CD on low volume. They all were big rock/alternative/punk fans & it showed in his room. Posters of Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Three Days Grace, Story Of The Year, Sum 41, Rancid, Blink 182, Simple Plan, Coheed & Cambria, Breaking Benjamin, Green Day, and many more bands covered his walls. His CD rack was full of these artists. At least we have something in common, Riku thought, happy that some people knew what good music was.
"Well we hang out with the others." Squall said non-chalantly.
"The others?" Riku said confused. I thought there were only 5 of them in their little clique. There's more? Great I have more people to deal with. I don't mind having a few friends but, that many is going to be a hassle.
"Yeah, Tidus, Wakka and the girls." Cloud said casually.
"Girls?" Riku said even more confused than before. Great. Now I have to deal with teenage girls. I knew this was going to happen but I guess I was hoping not. God I hope none of them has a crush on me. That is the last thing I need.
"Yeah the girls. I forgot to tell you about them. Kairi will get along great with Selphie, Yuffie, Rikku and the others." Sora said to Riku watching him look around the room at the posters and such. He must like all of these bands. That's what I thought. I couldn't picture Riku liking Country or Hip-Hop.
"There's a girl named Rikku?" Riku said shocked. A girl that has the same name as me!!. THIS SUCK ASS BIG TIME!!
"Yeah. But it's spelt with two K's instead of one like you do." Sora said reassuringly.
"OK, whatever. Hey Squall do you like Evanescence?" Riku said trying to change the subject.
"Yeah. I think Amy Lee is hot." Squall said.
"So do I." Riku said. "I love this song." He commented about the Linkin Park song playing at the moment, Hit The Floor.
"Linkin Park is so cool." Cloud said trying to be apart of the conversation.
"I had tickets to a show but then we had to move so I couldn't go. They were for last Saturday. I was so pissed off. It was like my mom moved that day on purpose." Riku mumbled remembering that. He still was mad at his mom for that, but he didn't want to hold a grudge against his mom for trying to protect her family. He eventually got over it.
"Aww that blows." Sora said. He, too, liked Linkin Park. He had always wanted to go to one of their concerts, but his overprotective mom wouldn't let him even if he got tickets.
After a few minutes of talking about their favorite bands, Riku looked at his watch. It was already 7. He was supposed to be home a half an hour ago. Shit I hope mom doesn't notice I'm gone. I really don't wanna go home. I'm actually enjoying myself. But mom is gonna be pissed if I don't leave right now.
"Umm guys I gotta leave." Riku said disappointed.
"Really? But we were having a good time!" Cloud said as Sora started to pout.
"I was supposed to be home a half an hour ago. My mom's gonna freak if she finds out I'm not there. I don't want to get grounded you know." Riku explained while feeling somewhat guilty. He didn't want Sora to take him home. He was having such a good time at his friend's house.
"Sora you don't have to take me home I know the way there." Riku said
"You're sure? Cause I gotta go soon anyway." Sora said.
"Well if you already have to leave then come on. Let's go."
"Bye guys. Maybe we can hang out some more tomorrow." Sora said reluctantly.
"Bye. See you later." Squall said as Cloud & Riku silently waved goodbye at each other.
They walked out of the room and down the staircase. Sora waved to Mrs.Leonheart who waved back. They walked out of the house.
"Hey let's take a shortcut." Sora suggested with a smile on his face.
"Ok. Lead the way." Riku said. "But stay close in front of me. I can't really see anything."
"Here. Take my hand." Sora said as he held out his hand for Riku.
"Thanks." Riku said joining his hand with Sora's hand. At this moment, both of them blushed, Sora more than Riku, but it was dark so neither of them could tell that the other one was blushing.
"Even though the path is clear, a couple of bushes & vines along the ground are there & I've tripped over them many times. Sora said a little ashamed that he had just admitted to tripping yet again to Riku.
"Yeah I don't want to get a rep that says that I'm as clumsy as you are. I don't wanna take that title away from you, Sora." Riku said in a joking manner.
"Thank you, Riku for letting me keep that." Sora said as he almost tripped over a vine growing out of the ground.
"Heh, Sora, did you just trip over a vine after you just warned me about it?" Riku said smiling, although Sora couldn't see his face.
"I almost did. Besides it's better for me to trip than you." Sora mumbled.
"What was that Sora?" Riku said as they both stepped out of the "alleyway".
"Nothing." Sora said the sweetest he could while grinning, flashing his teeth.
Wow, Riku thought, he has really white teeth. Wonder how long he has to brush..Riku drifted into his thoughts, his dirty thoughts about Sora, as they walked down the street, not realizing they were still holding hands. They got to Riku's house when they had realized what they had been doing.
Sora flushed a soft shade of pink as he spoke. "Oops, I didn't realize that we had been doing that. I'm sorry."
"It's ok Sora." Riku said. I really liked it actually. A lot. ::heavy sigh:: Why do I feel this way about someone I barely know? Plus he is a boy for God's sake!
"Yeah well I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow. If I don't I'll call you." Sora said meekly.
"Yeah goodnight Sora." Riku said, waving.
"Later Riku." Sora said like he was pre-occupied with something. It was as if he was at war with himself.
Riku entered the room very quickly & ran silently up the stairs. At the moment he wanted to be alone. He wanted to get on the computer. Luckily his mom set it up for him so he didn't have to. He had his own computer. So did his mom & Kairi.
As soon as he got online, it said "Sup bitch?" & "mail mutha fucka" as his welcome & you got mail sounds. He laughed as he always did when he heard it. He quickly added Squall's (LionHearted67), Cloud's (ClOuD1234) and Sora's (Keybl8r99) sn's. Instantly, Cloud's name popped up.
Cloud said "Hi sup?"
