The After Effects

"Hey bartender could I get another round of vodak?" Sora asked half drowned in his sorrows. The bartender poured some more vodak in his shot glass and handed it to him. "Here kid, You seem very depressed. Do you mind if I ask why?" He said cleaning a glass. Sora downed his drink in one shot and smacked the glass back on the table slowly saying "Yes, I do mind. So lets just leave it at that."

The bartender jumped at the sound of the glass. "Sure, kid whatever. We close in a few minutes so would you be kind enough to please leave now, so that I may get ready for closing." He asked taking his glass.

Sora got up off his stool and walked out of the bar. Slowly making his way to his apartment. "Damn, It's raining again. Oh…Well." As sora made his way to a near by cross walk he heard foot steps come up behind him. Sora glanced over to see a guy about his age with long hair the looked as white as snow. Sora thought nothing of it at first, but then he started to get a funny feeling going throughout his whole body.

The guy glanced over to see what was going on with him. " Hey are you ok?" He asked. Sora just ignored him and as the light turned green to cross he ran as fast as he could away. The guy shruged and went on his way to his apartment. "Man that guy was an asshole. I mean the least he could of say was I'm fine or something."

When Sora got to his apartment building he was soaked with water. He walked inside and he was having trouble breathing and blacked out on the stairs.

The guy walked into the same apartment building walked in and saw Sora on the stairs lying there like a lifeless body. He ran to him and checked to see if Sora was ok. "Whoa, he has a high fever. I gotta get him out of these wet clothes."

The unknown guy stook Sora to his aparatment room and stripped him of his soaking wet clothes. He gently put him in his bed and put a warm towel over his forhead.

Several Hours Later…

Sora slowy opened his eyes to see the guy from before sleeping in a chair next to the bed. He slowly sat up to relize he was naked in this guy's bed. "WHERE THE HELL AM I YOU FUCKING PEVERT!" Sora yelled at the top of his lungs.

The guy jumped up to his feet with surprise. "Oh…your up. You must be feeling better. That's a releaf."

Sora stared very pissed "Hey, you damn monkey answer me. Where am I and who are you?"

The guy stood up and sighed "I'm Riku and your in my apartment. So claim down. You should get some rest. Anyway, what's your name kid?"

Sora huffed "I'm Sora and I don't need to listen to a pervert like you. Stripping a poor teenage boy like myself, so you can have your way with me and don't ever call me kid."

"Your clothes were soaking wet from running in the rain and when I found you, your had passed out on the stairs. I could have been heartless and let you stay there to die at age 17." Riku said with a grin on his face.

"You should have left me to die." Sora said in a low voice with his head down.

"Hey you ok? You seem down. What happened to you?" Riku asked lighting a cigarette.

"Nothing of your concern." He said with an evil stare. "But I would like my clothes back now if you don't mind. I would like to get out of here."

"Fine, hold on I'll get them." Riku said with putting his clothes on the bed.

Sora grabs his boxers and puts them on in a hurry. He could hear Riku's snickers in the background. Sora just rolled his eyes and picked up his shirt to reveal a scare that looked like writing. "Hey what happened to you to get that scare?" Riku asked walking up to him. Sora jumped out of the bed on the other side and gave him a glare. "Don't come near me." He said in a warning tone.

Riku put his hands up as if he were under arrest and backed away slowly. "Ok, I won't hurt you Sora. I just want to know what happened to you. Is that so bad?"Riku said taking a puff of his cigarette. "Worst than you'll ever know. I don't like my past and I hate it even more when people ask me about it. So lets leave it at that." He said snatching his shirt and putting on the rest of his clothes.

"I'll see you around sometime I guess." Riku said putting out his cigarette in the ash tray. "You'd better hope not." Sora mummbled walking to the door and leaving.

Riku sighed and walked over to the window. "He was kinda cute." Sora thought walking to his apartment. Sora open the door to his apartment to find his window broken by a brick. "What The Fuck happened to my window!" Sora said walking in to see what was up.

"Man, Now I have to get this fixed." Sora said with a sigh of frustration. He picked up some of the glass and crushed it in his hand leaving a deep cut in his hand. "Damn, oh…well." Sora walks out and locks his door behind him. "Should I go back to Riku's apartment? It's not really that far from mine. Ah to hell with it." He said rolling his eyes.

Sora Came to Riku's apartment and knocked on the door. A few minutes went by and Still now answer. "Damn, I know your in there Riku." Sora mummbled to himself. He turned the knob and to his surprise it was open, he walked in and looked around the apartment looking for Riku.

Sora looked all over the house except in Riku's bedroom, the place Sora first saw in his apartment. Sora crept up to the door and slowly turned the knob with his bloodly cut hand and peeked inside. "I don't see him…where could he be?" Sora thought to himself.

He walked inside and slowly crept closer to the bed. "Riku?" He said in a low voice holding out his bloodly hand to somewhat poke him to see if he was really sleeping or not. "Riku…You awake?" Sora said poking him. Sora shruged and started to walk away slowly.

Riku grabbed Sora's hand as he started walking away and pulled him on his bed pinning him down. "What are you doing here Sora?" Riku said with a glare. Sora truned his head to the wall so he wouldn't have to look at him. "Someone broke the window in my apartment so I came here to sleep for the night." Sora sighed.

"So you figured coming here was a good idea." Riku asked still pinning down Sora. "At the time, but I thought wrong." Sora said trying to get up. "Hey I never said you couldn't stay, but you should get that cut looked at." Riku said getting up holding Sora by the wrist and pulling him to the sink to wash the blood off Sora's hands.

"Ouch…let go it's burning." Sora said try to jerk his hands free. "Hold still you have some glass stuck in your hand." Riku said still hold his hand in the water, then Riku poured some rubbing alcohol all over Sora's hand. "Son of a monkey that hurt!" Sora yelled.

Riku let go of his hand and threw him some wrapping banages for his hand. "There you big baby." Rikku said going back to his room. Sora fallowed him and sat on the floor next to him. "Hey do you have a blanket and a pilliow or some thing." Riku Went to his closet and pulled out a bright red blanket the said "FIRE." and a blue pilliow.

"Thanks Riku." Sora said wrapping up his hand and using the blanket and pilliow to make a small bed on the floor next to Riku's bed. Riku plopped on his bed and said "Yeah whatever." as he started to drift off in to sleep.
