Chapter 2
Before the dark twilightSora fingered the mattress he was laying on and stared at the wall across from him. He scowled when his nails finally ripped the cloth and gave way to the softness underneath.
He was sick.
Sick from the week of hell he had endured.
One whole week enduring Kairi and Riku's snuggling. And more.
The girl must have been in heat because whenever Riku was around she'd drag him off somewhere private so no one could find them. This including Sora.
Letting out a long line of unpleasant (and un-Sora-like) words, the boy crawled into the sheets on his bed and turned off the light on his nightstand table.
It was tearing him apart inside. The way the two were always together. Riku never had a spare moment for him and Kairi always had him busy with something.
Was she deliberately trying to tear them apart!
Maybe her kindness was only an act. A façade! Maybe she was just being herself and Sora was picking the wrong moments to talk to his friend? What if Kiari was some alien here for Riku!
The boy had an untamed imaginations so it was only normal Sora's mind was working a mile a minute; coming up with many weird images, each wilder and more unbelievable than the next.
CLUNKSora sat up in bed and looked at his window where the sound had come from.
"What time is it?" Sora glanced over at his clock and felt his eyes bug. It was 2 in the morning.
CLUNK"What the heck is that!" Sora opened his window to look out but a rock hit him dead in the forehead.
"Sora! Sorry!" Riku panicked below. He quickly grabbed the branch of a nearby tree that was right next to Sora's room and scaled it quickly, leaning in the room and examining Sora's injured head.
He pushed the window open more, wincing as it creaked loudly, and jumped into Sora's room, sitting on the bed, inspecting Sora's face closer.
"Sora are you okay?" Riku whispered, trying not cause any more noise.
"Yeah, never better." Sora replied dryly. "What are you doing here Riku? And at this hour?" Sora placed his hands on his hips and glared at Riku the best he could with his bruised face.
"Well... I noticed that you've been trying to talk to me, but couldn't so I came to see you." Riku's shoulders shook slightly in laughter at the look Sora was giving him (death glare that needed much practice), but he hastily covered with his reason for coming in the first place.
"I wanted to see you." He repeated, blushing lightly.
Sora's heart beat five times faster.
He cared?
He had noticed and cared enough to talk to him?
"Yeah." Sora sighed. "I kinda noticed Kairi's been dragging you off." Sora snorted, grinning lightly and pushing Riku. "And now I have no one to spar with…"
"So you gonna talk to me?" He asked situating himself on the mattress with Sora.
"Oh! Yeah..." Sora's face darkened with a deep blush and he scratched the back of his head. "Um... Riku...I uh. Well I sorta..."
"We've been through this Sora. Think. Then talk. " Riku joked; leaning against the wall that Sora's bed was resting next to and watched Sora with an intent gaze.
"Riku...I..." Here goes nothing... He knew it was a long shot, but if this was his last chance to talk to Riku, then he might as well do it. Sora heaved a great sigh and pushed himself up from his spot on the bed and kissed Riku on the lips.
Riku immediately pushed Sora away and wiped his lips.
"Ugh! Sora...the hell?" Riku spat and stared at Sora with a horrified expression.
"Riku...I-I"
Riku was at loss for words. Even with Kairi's constant sneaking and kissing, never had something like that startled him.
"I understand." Riku interrupted. "Goodnight." With that, Riku jumped from Sora's window and landed in the tree. From there he jumped his way down, branch by branch, until he hit the ground.
He was about to sprint toward his home when muffled sobs hit his ears.
"R-Riku...I'm sorry..." He heard the younger boy mewl from his window.
Riku didn't look up. He didn't feel like he could bring himself to comfort the boy after that, much less look at him.
It was wrong. Boys don't kiss boys. He had been raised that it was wrong. No one should ever do that.
Riku felt as though a knife had been plunged into his gut and twisted around several times. He felt terrible and it was the fact that it was his best friend that made the wound sting.
Riku shook it off and ran all the way home. He charged up the stairs, not caring if he woke his parents, and locked himself in his room.
He situated himself on the bed and stared out the window to where Sora's house was.
Riku's house was only two blocks away on the small island. His room was facing the smaller island where he and the others always stayed, but his balcony stretched over to the left to look at Sora's house.
Sora's room, ironically, faced his.
Riku stared in pain when he spotted Sora's figure in the window, his form shaking.
I'm a guy and he's a guy...It'd never work out. He justified his actions. He kicked off his shoes and took down his larger pants, shooting them next to a nearby laundry basket. There's no way I could go through with that… and besides, I'm with Kairi. That's how it's supposed to be.
OoOoOoOoOoOThe next day when Riku arrived the small play island, he looked for Selphie.
"Hey Selphie!" He shouted up to her, she was sitting on the edge of the walkway near the tree house and looking out into the ocean, kind of an odd place for the girl, considering that she was almost always located to the tip of the docks.
"Yes Riku!" She cried and gave him a hug when he arrived at the top.
"...Let... go!" He breathed, trying to loosen Selphie's hold on him. "I need advice." He told the girl.
Selphie let the information sink in and smiled at him oddly.
"The Great Riku everyone looks up to, the one that can even beat some of the adults at sparing, the one that stands before me now! Needs MY help!" She seemed to take joy just from letting the words: 'Riku', 'needs', 'my', and 'help' roll of her tongue like a new word, but with her, she had to make it more dramatic than it really was.
"Yes..." He sighed.
"That's sooooooo cool!" She squealed.
"Shh! Keep it down." He hushed her.
"Okay, okay. Now what is it?" She said standing tall, trying to look as important as a small girl her size could.
"What do you do when a guy likes you?" Riku asked lowly.
"Guy?" Selphie repeated innocently.
"Hush!" Riku shot her a glare that said: 'One more loud comment and I'll throw you off of this walkway', "Yes. Guy! Did I say Homosexual Female!" He hissed.
"Wow... no wonder Sora's so hung up today..." Selphie mused to herself, forgetting Riku was there.
"What do you mean!" Riku's eyes widened and he stared at Selphie hoping the girl would tell him more on what she already knew.
"It's obvious Sora's likes you, I'm the only one who actually notices though." She 'hmphed' and sat back down to where Riku had found her. A look of disappointment crossed her features, before flickering to pity and a pouting expression. "Poor Sora... he's been quite all day... He was here at 6 when I cam here and all he's done is sulk."
Riku didn't say anything. He knew Sora'd be in the Secret place, was always there when he had those rare chances of anger. Instead of finding the brunet, he walked down and sat on the trunk of the Paopu tree.
OoOoOoOoOoO"Damn her..." Sora whipered and kicked the picture of Kairi and him engraved on the wall, but below it is what caught Sora off guard, and hurled him into a rage of hate and loathing.
Below it a well draw Riku and Kairi were sitting together on the beach, kissing.
Sora's subconscious was screaming in it's own rage at how someone could be so thick and utterly... right.
Riku loved Kairi...
And he couldn't do anything about that.
That was what hurt the most.
Sora's anger was replaced by self-loathing and self-pity. He mentally beat himself upside the head for his rage in the first place.
Grabbing a handful of rocks, Sora sat down on the opposite end and started throwing the rocks at the picture, aiming for Kairi most of the time.
Some of the rocks split and others stayed as a whole but each left a mark where they struck, making Sora calm down in the slightest. His mother had told him that doing something physical always calms your rage.
"Tonight..." Sora froze when the thick voice from a week ago filled his ears.
"Oh no..." Sora moaned, covering his eyes with his hands.
Ignoring his comment and the deep voice continued. "Tonight darkness will come. Ignore the shadows and go to the smaller island."
"Fine..." Sora didn't care if the being was mad about his sarcasm. He didn't need to be told twice that the cloaked figure was talking about Paopu Island.
Sora tried to shake of his tumbling emotions, but he settled with staring at the wall ahead of him.
He was tired. Riku had pushed him away and that was that. If this was his chance to leave it all behind. He'd welcome it all with open arms.
End ChapterXCX: I'm being so mean to Sora... I mean: Riku doesn't love him, (YET! XD) he's being told not to interfere, Riku's fucking Kairi!
Sora: You could at least put that one on different terms!
XCX: Okay...
Doin' the horizontal tango...
Makin' like bunnies...
Having the time of their lives...
Playing in bed...
Acting like dogs in heat...
Sora: Okay enough!
XCX: Awww... your jealous 'cause you ain't got none! WHOOP!
Sora: …
Sorry... Well I promise to have a Riku an' Sora lemon in the future... Just not on this site. It'll be on a different one because:
1). no likey the lemons
2). I don't wanna get kicked off It'll be in later chapters because I blush like crazy after I write 'em
4). RR!
Sora: That's not a reason for no lemon! And you've got a list for almost everything don't you?
Yeah, but I just wanna remind you about reviewing, the list thing... hmm... well that's just a habit... I take joy from it when I can come up with a list of embarrassing things for my parents though (Small stories only told in the family)... but it's all in playful fun and joking or course.
I just really hate my friend who comes up with continues list of purposely to embarrass me in front of everyone... Right now we're not talking but even if we do make up again, she continues to do it and it really grates on my nerves.
Enough 'bout me!
Read on and live for the thrill of life! X3
