Chapter Four - Day Two

Wakka jogged around his neighborhood, thinking of the story Kairi told him yesterday. It was absolutely hilarious if you look at it from the outside in, but he knew that the friends participating in that bet must have been suffering. He wondered what Sora was actually trying to prove. Of course relationships aren't always based on physical contact because if that were the case, it wouldn't be a relationship. It'd be a fling, and that is certainly not what Cloud, Selphie, or Sora had. They had a real relationship, and he was surprised to find out that Sora wanted to prove that to Cloud and Selphie. He should have been confident enough in his relationship to say that it wasn't based on physical contact and left it at that.

Sighing, Wakka picked up the pace as his house, knowing that he soon would have to get ready for school. He looked across the street to see a two figures sitting on the porch on a small house. He instantly recognized both figures as Riku and Tidus. Crossing the street, Wakka waved, only to be glared at by both boys. He frowned as he neared the location of his close friends, for their faces were etched with anger and frustration.

He knew exactly what they were upset about.

"Hey guys!" Wakka greeted, trying to sound cheerful. Tidus grunted in acknowledgement while Riku completely ignored him.

"Damnit Tidus, he ran away from me again! I swear if I'm not gettin' any from him willingly tonight, I will tie him up and have my way with him!" A pause. "Not that he minded that type of stuff before..."

Wakka felt the urge to laugh, puke, and pity Riku all at once.

"Well, I haven't seen Selphie for awhile, but she'd probably do the same thing Sora did to you."

"Cheer up, ya? I'm sure they havin' a more difficult time than you guys are, trying to have self control and all."

Oh, boy. That really wasn't a statement that should have been said. What did he just do? ~Wakka, ya moron!!~

Silence filled the air before both Tidus and Riku stood up and walked towards Wakka with crazed looks on their faces. Yea, he certainly did cause hell and all of its sexually frustrated demons to break loose. "What. Did. You. SAY?!" Riku bellowed as he lunged toward Wakka.

Wakka let out a shriek of surprise as he dodged the taller boy barely. However, he escaped one boy and collided straight into the other. Tidus grabbed both of Wakka's arms and pinned them behind his back, causing Wakka to struggle and make both of the boys fall to the ground in a tangled heap. Wrapping his legs around Wakka's waist, Tidus secured him, then whispered in his ear, "You know something we don't, Wakka, and not telling us is not wise."

Riku pressed Wakka further in the ground with his foot, causing Wakka to cry out in slight pain. He growled at the bound boy on the grass, eyes flashing dangerously with annoyance and rage. "Explain."

"I-I..c-can't...y-ya..." Wakka gasped as he continued to struggle against Tidus.

"WRONG ANSWER!"

Riku lifted his foot and lowered it until it was directly above Wakka's groin, causing the restrained boy to stare at him in shock. "R-Riku...?"

"I am completely immune against pleading at this point, Wakka," Riku said casually, lowering his foot. "My sexual frustration has reached its peak."

"ALRIGHT! I'll tell ya..."

Riku smirked and took his foot off of Wakka before kneeling down to the still restrained boy. Wakka let out a deep sigh. "It's a bet, ok? Sora bet Selphie and Cloud $150 that they couldn't keep their hands off of you guys. There's no time limit so basically its however long they hold up."

"....."

"....."

"...."

"Please tell me that's not true," Tidus whispered as he let Wakka go. "Please tell me..."

"I'm sorry, brotha...but it's true."

A pause. "Ohh...my..."

Tidus and Wakka turned to Riku, who was lying on the grass with his head in his hands. "Sora is a stubborn ass. He won't stop this until he wins."

"Selphie is just as stubborn," Tidus interjected. "Cloud will probably be the first one to give in, but ---"

"What about Cloud?"

The three boys looked ahead to see a very worn out looking Leon making his way to their group. Each of them had the same thing in mind: Leon looked like hell. His shaggy brown hair was sticking up in almost every direction, and his clothes were rumpled like he got stampeded over. Mix matched socks, buttons messily put buttoned, zipper halfway down...he was certainly a wreck.

"Good Kami, what happened to you?!"

And Tidus decided to make it known.

Leon only glared at him in response, causing the blonde boy step back and smile sheepishly. Turning to the other boys, he sighed. "Cloud didn't come home last night."

Wakka gasped while Riku shook his head in understanding. "Neither did Sora."

Turning to Riku this time, Wakka ran his fingers through his unruly hair. "Man, this bet is gettin' outta hand, ya?"

Instantaneously, Leon grabbed Wakka by the collar, murder shimmering in his eyes. "WHAT?"

"D-Don't kill the messenger, ya!"

The hold on Wakka was released, causing Wakka to drop to the ground unceremoniously. Ignoring the fallen boy, Leon turned to Riku and Tidus. "What bet?"

"A bet among Sora, Cloud, and Selphie. Whoever stays away from us the longest gets $150."

It was that statement that caused Leon, the Stone Statue of Destiny Islands, to finally lose his cool. And if you go all out, you do it with a loud bang, right?

"UNBELIEVABLE!!!"

Leon reached out and grabbed the closest thing to him, which happened to be poor Wakka who was traumatized twice already today.

Third time always a charm.

Shaking him as hard as he can, Leon let out a string of obscenities and growls, causing Wakka to whimper in fear. Tidus used all of his strength to try to pull off Leon, but his attempts only made things worse. As he put himself in between Wakka and Leon, Wakka tripped on his outstretched leg. It was like Domino's; Wakka, Tidus, then Leon. Profanities, whimpers, and yells slurred into one drifted through the air, and after a few minutes, laughter did too.

Riku watched the whole thing with amusement before laughing hysterically and walking away. "School starts in a half and hour," he pointed out playfully, "so I suggest you guys get cleaned up."

Why was the silver-haired boy so happy? Well, he just figured out to pay back Sora. "Oh, yea. Tidus and Leon?"

The two guys looked up from their spot on the ground. "Most people try to take the horse to water and make it drink. The real job is to make it thirsty, and it'll come to the water all by itself."

At first the two boys just looked at each other with confusion, but as the advice seeped in, they found themselves grinning sadistically. Riku nodded before turning around and walking to the school, his mind set on a new goal. Old goal: chase and capture Sora. New goal: make Sora come at his own will, begging and pleading.

Let the torture begin.

^*^

School. It was the most dreadful thing occurring in his life besides not being able to touch Leon. Being a senior, Cloud spent most of his time counting the days when he could get up and walk out that school forever. He had straight A's all four years of his high school career, and even though the temptation - to give all his bad teachers a special gift that consisted of one finger while walking out - was there, he was determined to ignore it and keep up his grades. Besides, Leon told him he might as well stay so that he could get a scholarship.

The silver-haired teacher scribbled notes furiously on the board, lecturing as he did it. The students copied the notes almost as fast as he put them up, except for a select few that chose to just 'listen.' Cloud finished copying the notes before anyone else did so he sat back in his seat and watched the tall man at the head of the classroom. He shifted his gaze to his left when the feeling that someone was watching him became overwhelming.

It wasn't a surprise that he meet a pair of stormy blue-gray eyes boring into him. He sighed and faced the teacher once more. Leon had been doing that since yesterday, and it really was starting to get annoying. But something told him to look back at Leon, so he did and what he came face to face with was something so mind numbing and erotic that Cloud had to choke back a moan. Leon, the Stone Statue, gave him a seductive smile and winked at him.

Wink.

Smile.

These were things that Leon just didn't do. Scratch that. These were things that Leon WOULDN'T do if his life depended on it. So why was he doing it now? This was too bizarre to even think about right now. He had to focus on his schoolwork.

Shifting gaze back to the teacher, Cloud struggled to pay attention, only to find himself looking at Leon once more, who was digging in his bag for something. Curious, Cloud watched his every movement and was getting ready to look away until he saw what Leon pulled out his bag. It was a dinner roll.

~The hell?~

Leon fingered the dinner roll until the crease in the roll was facing his mouth. Simultaneously, he stood up and sauntered over to the teacher's desk where he leaned over to talk to the teacher.

And gave Cloud full access of his leather clad ass.

Looking in the other direction or busying himself with some other distraction would have been the smart thing to do in this case. But Cloud did neither. He chose choice C.

Staring...and drooling.

His eyes stayed locked on Leon's rear end even when the leather clad young man walked back to his desk, causing some of the surrounding students to stare at him. Some even waved their hands in front of his face to break his stare, but failed. His eyes were locked on for a good ten minutes before Leon looked up and meet his stare with a soft smile. This caused the spiky-haired blonde to blink rapidly and lean back, so much so that he fell from his chair with a loud thud. Instant laughter erupted from his fellow students, and Cloud stood up and brushed the dirt off of his clothes, face tinged with red. The teacher did nothing but raise his eyebrow in response to the loud, disruptive fall.

Cloud sat back down and buried his face in his hands. This day could get no worse.

"Leon, would you like to go with me to the Cove today?"

~Damnit!~

Head snapping up and eyes darting over to Leon, Cloud stared at the girl who approached his boyfriend with a flirtatious smile. She was medium height with dark shoulder length hair, light brown highlights and onyx eyes wearing a light blue jumper covered by a matching duster and black boots. White angel wings were on the back of her duster, which in turn, made Cloud scoff loudly. Rinoa was far from an angel.

"Sure, I'll go with you."

Rinoa squealed as Cloud's jaw dropped. He knew he shouldn't have walked under that ladder this morning.

^*^

Sora leaned back in chair as he tuned out the boring redheaded Chemistry teacher. Chemistry had to be the stupidest branch of science ever. Labs, experiments, hypothesis, and conclusions; they were a waste of time. To make things worse, he had Advanced Placement Chemistry, so the material was twice as boring as regular Chemistry. If only he had been back in middle school, learning how thunder goes BOOM...

"Sora...?"

That voice alone could make Sora sink to the ground on his hands and knees, begging to be punished for his wrong doings...

"Huh?" he responded intelligently as he looked to his right. Riku was walking to the sink in front of the lab table, pulling his silver hair into a neat ponytail, but still leaving two locks out to rest in front. The older boy washed his hands slowly as he watched Sora with amused green eyes. "Our lab, you know the one that's worth a quarter of our grade, is due today. We have to finish it within the next 30 minutes."

"R-Right..."

Sora moved over to the sink and proceeded to wash his hands beside Riku. Try as he might, Sora couldn't keep his eyes off of Riku. For some reason he looked especially nice today, wearing tight blue jeans that hugged his every curve sinfully and a black button up shirt that was open at the top.

Let's just say it was hard for Sora to not rip his clothes off and ravish him right there on the table.

"Umm, Sora?"

Sora responded by cocking his head to the side questioningly.

"I love it when you notice me, but goodness, you're drooling an ocean right now."

Riku made his point by shutting Sora's mouth shut and wiping some of the drool off of the side of his mouth. He laughed when Sora took a step back, his features etched with surprise and lust, and scrubbed his mouth furiously. An embarrassed blush formed on his face after he was done with his...scrubbing. "Relax Sora. I've seen you do a lot more than drool..."

He let the innuendo hang in the air before shutting off the water and drying his hands. He got the reaction he desired: Sora looked at him once more with shock, but the lust in his eyes grew with every movement Riku was making. Riku congratulated himself.

Riku two points

Sora zip

"U-Umm, right..." Sora muttered as he also shut the water off on his side of the large sink. He dried his hands quickly and began to set up the chemicals.

All through the painfully long 30 minutes, their hands brushed across each lightly from the little things like reaching for the same chemical or dropping an item on the floor. To Sora, it seemed that Riku was doing it purposely, but his suspicious thoughts vanished when Riku flashed him a heart-stopping smile. It was now the end of the lab, and Riku was cleaning all of the supplies while Sora was putting away the chemicals.

Or at least he was trying to put away the chemicals.

The sight before him hindered him to think of nothing except the sexy silver-haired god that was cleaning a test tube. How erotic can cleaning a test tube be? Easy. Riku grabbed the thin brush and coated it with soap, moving his hand up and down the brush slowly. Sora's eyes stayed on the brush, mouth going dry and body heat as well as his member rising. Riku proceeded to pick up the small tube and thrust the brush inside.

Sora moaned softly.

To his dismay, Riku actually heard him and looked up, locking eyes with the aroused sixteen-year-old. Smirking, Riku began to pump the brush inside the tube faster and faster, and Sora felt the aching need to jump Riku harder and harder to resist. Suddenly, Riku stopped.

Shifting his gaze from Riku to the tube, Sora's breath hitched as he saw the soap buildup reach the top of the tube, but not yet overflowing. He looked back at Riku, whose eyes never left him, and struggled to regulate his breathing. Riku thrust the brush inside the tube once more, only this time it was slow. Tortuously so.

The tube overflowed, and Sora's resolve broke.

He let out a loud, needful moan as he sank to the floor. The chemicals he was holding in his hand spilled all over his shirt.

"Mr. Isuzu! Go get cleaned up," the teacher yelled as she walked over to him. Sora didn't bother standing up and dragged himself all the way to the door pitifully, ignoring the students' snickers and comments. Riku felt the urge to laugh himself, but his urge dissipated when the teacher looked at him sternly. "What happened?" she questioned in an annoyed tone.

"I was just cleaning the test tube and the next thing I know, he's on the floor."

"Please assist him in getting all the chemicals off, Riku."

"Gladly."

Riku set down the now clean tube and walked to the door, a triumph smirk on his face.

Riku 102 points

Sora -100 points

^*^

It was disgusting. Vile. Horrible. Utterly despicable. A crime that deserved the life sentence. And he was doing it. Tidus had the nerve to openly FLIRT with Yuna. In front of Selphie and Wakka.

The. Nerve. Of. That. BOY!

Selphie huffed indignantly and crossed her arms, glaring holes in the back of Yuna's head. She wished the little bitch was tortured with spears, forever poked up the rear end for even laying eyes on what's hers. Wakka gave her a reassuring squeeze on her shoulder, which she promptly shrugged off as she stood up.

This was once thing she would not tolerate.

Walking straight to Tidus, Selphie straightened her yellow jumper and flipped her curly long brown hair over her shoulder. Tidus' gaze went from Yuna to Selphie, and from what Selphie could see, anger and sadness burned brightly in his cerulean eyes. A wave of guilt hit her like a tidal wave, but nevertheless, she pressed forward. "Hi Tidy!" she greeted in a false cheerful voice. "Yuna."

"Selphie," Yuna answered politely.

Selphie growled under her breath. ~Damn that girl and her politeness to everybody!~

Tidus regarded her with only a brief glance before turning back to Yuna. "You say a lot of people are going to the Cove today, eh? Well, who's going?"

"I heard Rinoa got Leon to go, Irvine's going, Wakka's going, I'm going, and...hopefully, you can come?"

Somehow, the room starting to become crimson red for Selphie...

"W-With Selphie, of course," Yuna quickly added, seeing the look of murder of Selphie's face. As soon as it came, the murderous look left and was replaced with sad recognition. She had kickboxing class this afternoon.

"I-I can't go cuz of kickboxing, but I'm sure Tidy--"

"Of course I'll go!" Tidus said enthusiastically. "It'll be fun."

Yuna's face lit up with a smile while Selphie's face darkened with jealously. "THAT'S IT!!"

The students froze at the angry outburst. Everyone looked at Selphie, who in turn, gave them all death glares. "Alright, Miss I'm-So-Nice-Look-At-Me! You're messin' with my guy, and I know kickboxing! I'm not afraid to use it!!"

Yuna stared at her blankly. Selphie snapped.

"Grr-ARGH!!"

Selphie tackled the small girl, pulling into a headlock and digging her knee into Yuna's back. Most of the students cheered Selphie on while Tidus and Wakka pulled the two girls apart. For the first time since she came to this school, Yuna had a frown on her face as she flipped the other girl off and walked out the classroom. "See ya at the Cove, Tidus," she said while glaring at Selphie.

Letting out another growl, Selphie attempting to lunge towards Yuna, but was held back by Wakka's strong grip. There was no way she was going to make it to kickboxing practice today.

Her plans were at the Cove.

^*^

Finished! Review. Make me happy.
