Summary: Riku considers himself 'straight'. No exceptions included. So what happens when he gets dared to ask Sora, a guy, out for a date? And... also to be a couple for a whole month?
.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.
"Come on," Leon urged the silver haired boy. "You have to play dare or double dare with me..."
Riku laughed at the desperate look in his best friend's eyes. Seriously, who knew Leon would be a person to love the game of dare or double dare. Usually he was a quiet and serious person. But tonight...
"JUST PLAY IT WITH ME DAMN IT!!"
The silver haired boy laughed some more. "All right, all right, I'll play it with you, jeez," he responded to his friend's unnatural outburst.
A calming smile donned the brunette's features. "Good," he responded and took a seat on Riku's plush leather couch. Another silver haired teen entered the room.
"Sephiroth..." Riku said as he watched the teen silently walk into the living room. "What the hell are you doing home?!"
Sephiroth faced the two teens in the living room. "I have as much a right as you do to be here," he said, coldly, to his brother. Riku shrugged and sat himself on the easy chair before the fireplace.
"I'll go first," Riku announced, getting Leon's attention back. "Dare? Or double dare?"
Leon, not really wanting the risk of double dare, chose the former. "Dare," he chose.
A smirk played it's way on Riku's lips. "I dare... You to go into Aerith's room, take her underwear, and wear it on your head for the rest of the night."
Leon flinched. Who knew Riku could be so childish... Leon sighed and stared at Riku. "Where's her room?" he asked.
"Upstairs-- to your left," Sephiroth answered as he made his way into the living room. Leon stood up to follow through with his dare. Minutes later he was back, with a pair of pink lacey underwear donning his head. The edges of Sephiroth's lips curled upward and Riku let out a long laugh. Luckily, Aerith was spending the night at Yuffie's house.
Leon sarcastically smiled at the two as he sat down. "Dare or double dare?" he asked the younger silver haired teen.
"Double dare," Riku chose. He always chose double dare... It was... so much for fun doing it.
Leon stared at him. It seemed that the pink lacy panties had sucked his brain out. He didn't know what to double dare Riku. So he looked at Sephiroth for ideas. An evil smirk crept upon the older silver haired teens face. He knew the perfect dare.
.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.
"So he just asked you, right there, in the hallway?" Kairi asked, a doubtful expression on her face. After all this was Riku they were talking about... And it just didn't seem likely that he knew who Sora was. Also the fact that they just found out that Riku was either gay or bisexual added to her curiosity.
"Mmhm," Sora hummed with a little nod of his head.
"And... Now you're his boyfriend?" Kairi asked, slowly.
"Yeah..." Sora said as he shifted his eyes to the food in front of him. It was lunchtime and the whole cafeteria was packed. No one was paying attention to the two sitting in one of the corner tables talking about Sora's new boyfriend.
"Huh," Kairi said before picking up her fork. She stabbed her spaghetti with the plastic utensil and then looked up at Sora. "Well, I'm happy for you!" she said with a smile.
.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.
Riku wandered through the school building during lunchtime. The halls were empty, save for a few students here and there. They all looked at him as if he were some kind of God or something. He just didn't understand why half the school was infatuated with him while the other was infatuated with his brother, Sephiroth.
He sighed, frustrated. He didn't know why Sephiroth told Leon to dare him something like... Well, something like that! It was supposed to be an innocent game of dare or double dare until Sephy had to bump in. Now it was just a troublesome mess. Not to mention, when the whole school finds out, his reputation would drop. And he couldn't quite handle that. He was used to all these girls stalking him, asking him for his number...
But he never thought to actually date one of them.
So here he was. Supposedly dating another guy... Another guy he never heard of or even knew existed in this school. Instantly an image of a pink-cheeked Sora entered his mind. But he was so cute...
Riku shook his head. What the hell am I thinking? He asked himself. I'm straight. I'm straight. I'm straight. I'm—
"SORRY ABOUT THAT!" Sora squeaked as he realized that he bumped into someone. The petite brunette's cheeks instantly reddened as he saw whom it was. His red haired friend giggled at his predicament.
"It's alright," Riku said, looking down at a boy with a flamingly red face. When he heard the giggle he saw a familiar looking red haired girl.
"Hi," she said energetically to Riku and nudged Sora in the ribs. Sora gasped at the contact and glared at her. Kairi giggled at him with a huge grin on her face. Riku couldn't help but chuckle at the cuteness that was expressed in front of him. Usually the students that bumped into him would apologize and leave quickly or... proceed to asking him out on a date.
"H-hello," Sora stammered and looked down at the ground. He still couldn't believe he was going out with Riku.
"What're you doing wandering the halls all alone?" Kairi asked the silver haired teen. Riku looked at the red haired girl for awhile. And then it hit him! She was in his science class.
"Aren't you in my science class?" he asked her, blandly.
"Huh?" Sora looked up, making his presence known. "Kairi you never told me!" he accused. The red haired girl only giggled and backed her way from the two.
"I'll just leave you two alone, ne," she said and entered the women's bathroom, which was, right behind her.
The two boys stared at each other in silence.
"So..." Sora said slowly, his eyes never moving from Riku's.
"D'you wanna go somewhere?" Riku asked the brunette.
Suddenly Sora's cheeks reddened. What to do? What to do!? "Sure!" he blurted out. He hoped he didn't sound desperate... Or too eager, for that matter.
"Great," Riku said, a smile creeping onto his lips. He outstretched his hand and Sora hesitated before taking it. They walked down the hall, hand in hand; unbeknownst to the strange stares they were given. Or the pair of green eyes that watched them from the distance.
.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.
Sora entered his empty house, full of smiles. He just had the best day of his life. Not only did he skip school. But he skipped school with one of the most popular kids in his school. It just made him so... He squirmed with delight as he shut the door to his house.
The brunette fell onto his couch and picked up his phone. He had to tell Kairi all about his little date. He just had to. It was his duty. After all, they were best friends. Sooo, he dialed the red head's number and waited for her to pick up her phone, all the while humming to himself.
"Hello?" the all too familiar voice of Kairi sounded through the phone.
"Hey!" Sora said with a smile on his face. He twirled a lock of his hair with his finger.
"So... How was your date-thing-a-ma-jigg?" she asked.
And Sora told her all about it.
While she was listening she couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. Why should Sora get Riku? It only seemed fair that she should've gotten him. After all... He actually knew she existed; what with them being science partners and what not. It just made more sense. Also it was more accepting to the world.
Kairi gave out 'uh-huh's' at all the right times and even managed to make it sound like she wasn't jealous at all. But she really was. And she did have a teeny crush on Riku... So when they hung up the phone Kairi immediately went to write in her diary. The one she kept away from everyone. Even Sora.
Dear Diary,
It seems like Sora's found himself a boyfriend. And I can't help but a little jealous of his catch. Sure I should be happy and I am! Seriously. But... Remember that Riku guy I'm always going on about to you? Yeah well... That's Sora's boyfriend. I cannot believe it. It's not fair. I liked him first so that means that I get first dibs, right!? Ugh, it's just so... AH! Hopefully I'll get over this...
Love,
Kairi
She re-read her entry and when she seemed satisfied she locked the lavender book and hid it in its special place. The bookshelf.
