Powder Snow
Hikaru-Kun: Hi everybody! I'm on a total sugar high right now and this is my very first yaoi fic! I'm probably gonna power write and get a couple stories started! YAY! (it's about time, too!)
This is a Christmas fic. Pairing: Riku x Sora
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters belonging to Square/Squaresoft, so don't bother suing; you won't get much.
Riku – 18
Sora – 17
Kairi is Sora's cousin!
SORA
Wow! The mall is soooo packed today! I thought to myself. I can't believe it's already December! First semester is almost over and I gotta pull my grades up! I elbowed my way through the masses of bodies and with great difficulty, made my way into Express for their annual Christmas sale.
OK! I only have one more person to shop for on my list and then I'm finally done with Christmas shopping! I looked around the huge store and walked around slowly, contemplating what to get for Kairi.
RIKU
"YOU'RE LATE!" yelled Cid, the store manager of ExpressMen.
"Sorry, Cid! I could BARELY find parking today! And I almost got in a car accident with some crazy mom! You know how they are during the holiday season!" I hoped Cid would buy the excuse. Besides, I was mostly on time anyways…just not….today!
3RD PERSON
Cid's eyes softened and he patted Riku on the head affectionately. "Alright kid, get your rear into gear! Cloud is completely bogged down at the cash registers and God knows he could use a little help or two!"
Riku went to the back and took off his heavy overcoat, revealing a grey v-neck Express shirt and tight, black jeans. Walking out of the back, he bumped into Cloud, who was getting screamed at by some customer who complained about something….he only caught a snippet of the conversation before he was forced to sign in and start working the cash registers.
"No! I want these jeans in size 28x30!" screamed the customer. She was a tall blonde and Riku recognized her from school.
Cloud sweatdropped and nervously said, "I'm sorry, but we don't have..erm…that size! But! We do have it in size 30x30!"
"WHAT? ARE YOU SAYING I'M FAT! OH.MY.FRIKKIN'. GOD! I AM SOOOO FRIKKIN' PISSED. I AM GOING.TO.WRITE.A.LETTER.TO.YOUR.BOSS." yelled the blonde.
Riku chuckled at the antics of his coworker before turning his attention to the next customer. He glanced at the line and followed it as it stretched from ExpressMen all the way to the very front of Express (a/n: the two stores are connected together! )
Great. I am definitely looking forward to all the bitching I'm gonna get from the retarded customers. Gotta put on my happy face now! I hate working in retail.
Meanwhile…..
SORA
"..and we have this lovely cashmere sweater for your cousin and blah blah blah blah blah….." rambled the sales rep. She herself was wearing a hot pink cashmere sweater and looked like a huge cat.
"Umm….I think I'll go with this shirt and corduroy jacket…" I said as I quickly walked away to stand in line to check out.
Whew! I sure got out of that one! I can't WAIT till I get home! I still have that stupid test to study for in….uh….math!
45 minutes later…..
RIKU
"Next, please!" I called out for the next customer and glanced at my watch.
Shiiiiiiit! This day is going wayyyyyy tooo slow! I can't wait to get out of here!
The next customer, with an air of superiority, threw her items down on the counter and huffed, obviously mad that she had to wait in line for so long.
"Your store has terrible customer service! I see that there's a register over there and no one is there to work it! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! Blah blah blah blah….."
I gave her a fake smile and glanced at how Cloud was doing. He was ringing up a purchase and chatting amicably with the customer….Wait a minute, that kid looks so familiar…who is he? I wondered as I glanced at Cloud's customer.
Time seemed to stand still as the kid in question gave me a sympathetic look. Wow, his eyes, they're…..gorgeous, like the sky! They're so expressive….I could just stare at them all day…I felt a tingle go up and down my spine.
"….HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!" I snapped back to reality and quickly rung up the lady's purchases, with the fake smile plastered back on my face.
"Have a nice day, ma'am. Your receipt is in the bag." I said loudly. Before she could interrupt, I called for the next customer.
SORA
Wait a minute, do I know him? He looks so familiar….poor guy, he probably has to deal with customers like her all the time…
"Hey Sora! Earth to Sora! Your total comes out to $29.83." Cloud said.
"Oops! Sorry! I guess I zoned out!" I quickly said. Cloud and I go wayyyy back. He also happens to be my neighbor and I flashed him an apologetic smile as I handed him my credit card.
"OOOOOOooooOOO! Do you have the hots for Riku? I could hook you up with him!" Cloud yelled at the top of his lungs.
"No! No! It's not like that!" Gosh! Why does Cloud have to be so loud!
Riku turned his head and looked at me. I felt my cheeks heat up as he gave me a quizzical look.
I quickly grabbed my bag and left, without so much as a backwards glance.
RIKU
So his name is Sora……Hmmm….It sure suits him perfectly. I wonder what all that was about with him and Cloud? I'll have to ask Cloud about it later…
I stared at Sora as he left the store and couldn't help but stare at his FINE ass…….
