8. Hard times... and... look alikes!
" OH Yuffie... Why did these things happen today? Was I just IN for BAD luck?" I murmured. " Aww.. Leon... It's ok... Thing's shall be better in the morning... I am sure Riku will com apologizing..."
" I DON'T CARE IF HE APOLOGIZES! He already did and yet I am still BROKEN! I can't handle it and it... it just hurts..." I yelled. Yuffie came behind me and patted my back. " No, Leon... it'll be ok! If things DON'T work out, there are other fish in the sea! I mean... there is Cloud, Zell, ehhhhh um... Well... more! You know?" Yuffie said trying to make a point. " Ok.. Yuffie, Cloud for one is Straight... and Zell... he's a creepy bastard..." I said getting up and heading to my bathroom to wash my face. " Well, my point is, is that you can't let one person let you down! I mean look what I did to Demyx! I loved him and yet.. He broke my heart and I got better! I mean sometimes it's good to be single! Think of the many things you can do! You can eye guys up without THEM knowing and a boyfriend to catch you!" Yuffie smiled.
" I don't want to do that though... I really love Riku... but yet... he lied and I don't want a liar as a boyfriend... Maybe I should try being straight... there are a lot of girls who like me right?" I asked before splashing water on my face. " Well..uh... You shouldn't be someone who you're not... I mean you can't just become straight by saying you will... Besides... I like you being gay.. It's fun... you don't shoo me away when you change and you ask me to do your hair and we talk like girls at a sleep over..." Yuffie said sadly as she grabbed my hand. " Well.. You get to do my hair whether I want it or not, but anyways, I get your point... I can't handle being straight! Ha ha It's to... sensitive and squishy!" I laughed. She laughed along with me.
" Ok Look... how about we forget about the Riku thing until tomorrow and we can just sit, talk, and eat ice-cream!" Yuffie happily said. " Well how about we get the ice-cream FIRST, then sit", I said cleaning water off of my face. " You betcha!" Yuffie cheered. I, once again, got the goggles and we went down to my bike and we sped off to the store.
At the Cheapo shop (( I made this store up! Ha ha it's a bit obvious ain't it?))...
" Hm.. How about this 99 cent chocolate ice-cream?" I asked taking it out and showing her. " Um.. I don't want chocolate... it'll make us fat..." Yuffie said, " hmmm how about this?" She held out a Chocolate chip bucket ice-cream. " Um.. Ok..." I approved. We got a few extras... like... Vanilla wafers... and sugar cones... We went to the line... and oddly enough I saw my angel... no that's that bastard's words, my baby. " R...Riku..." I let my breath go, not knowing I had it. " Um.. We can go to a different one..." Yuffie stated. I shook my head and just continued on to the cashier. " Leon? Oh... Um.. P.. Paper of plastic?" I heard him asked in a hush voice. " PAPER!" yuffie shouted happily. " Eh.. Um ok..." Riku ran the items over that... red thingy that makes a noisy beep! ( I FORGOT WHAT IT'S CALLED). " Um.. Leon... Do you mind if I walk with you? I am off in two minutes..." Riku asked softly. I shook my head no. Riku quickly zipped past the rest of the items and stormed off with us.
" Um.. Hi.. Yuffie... sorry I yelled at you before... I'm really sorry..." Riku said after a moment of silence. " Well... I'm ok, but what you need to do is fix things with this kid over here... Hey Leon, I am gonna teleport to your place so I can put the ice-cream and stuff away." Yuffie said. I nodded and she poofed away. " Leon... even if my apologies won't work I am still very sorry for what I have done... I would've told you sooner... But yet... I didn't want you to think wrong of me and spit at me... I was scared you wouldn't like me for who I am..." Riku stated grabbing my shoulder and turning me around so I can look at him. I did and what I saw in his eyes were unshed tears... not allowing to show so I won't think that he is weak... so I won't think his words are lies... I know that they aren't... but it hurts so much.
" Do you think I wouldn't like you because you were a prostitute? Why would you think that! I fell in love with the kid who didn't care what others think... why should you care about what I think... the only thing you should do is that have the thought of not caring of what I think and just tell me! If you think that I wouldn't like it, TRY It. Just don't keep things like that a secret, because sooner or later I will find out, or someone I know will find out and TELL me. When I with a person I expect to know EVERYTHING about them... I mean... even if it just nose-picking in a driving lesson! I don't care... you could've been godzilla and turned human! I'd still love you!" I said sternly.
Riku looked at me in disbelief. " Oh Leon... you... you still love me?" Riku said happily. " Yes.. I do.. But I am still mad so please... just leave me alone till tomorrow... I have to get fat off ice-cream and TALK till I can't talk about your perfection any longer... I promise we will both be together tomorrow... and tell each other ravishing stories that possibly are embarrassing to down right nasty... We will..." I said holding his hand and giving him something my mother gave to me before she passed away.
" Wh... what's this?"
" It's my great great great grandmother's.. it was passed down to from my mom's mom's mom! I want you to keep it... tucked close to your heart... so you can remember me... where ever you are at..."
" a White feather?"
" My mother told me it's an angel feather her mom's mom found when an angel came to heal her from her pain..."
" I'll keep it very close to my heart..." Riku stated tucking it fragilely in the left pocket of his jacket. " Well I've gotta go now... I'll see you tomorrow, babe... I love you" I said taking my keys out. " I love you too..." Riku replied. I kissed Riku long enough before leaving for my bike. " Until then..." Riku whispered.
NORMAL POV ((for now))...
Riku continued to walk the streets and after Leon left. " Oh.. Leon... I love you SO much..." Riku whispered as he took out that feather and held it tight in his hands. " I wonder how long we'll be together... I hope till the die we die and after..." Riku said to himself. He continued walking but a few minutes later he had a light surrounding him. He looked up and the only thing he saw was a front of a car heading towards him.
BACK TO LEON'S POV...
" Hey Yuffie... Riku and I made up! Isn't that good?" I cheered again. " Oh Leon! I am SO happy for you! Hmm... CAN WE STILL EAT THE ICE-CREAM!" Yuffie asked with huge puppy dog eyes. " Ha ha ha OF course!" I said taking the tub out and placed it on the table near the T.V. " Let's WATCH SOME T.V.!" Yuffie cheered. When she turned it on the news popped up (( well like in usual things news would pop up first! Ha ha)) " You leave your channel on the news?" Yuffie said in a ' you're-so-boring-' voice. " Well.. Yea... I only watch T.V. in the morning... Hm I wonder what's up..." I said in deep concern.
I took the remote and turned it up louder...
" Well... I wasn't here when it happened but I did come across it first and what I saw wasn't good! There was a young male lying on the ground bleeding to death! Like he was hit by a car... I got scared and went to the closest store and it was Cheapo shop so I went and asked to call 9-1-1. Once I did the owner of the shop left and saw what I was calling for... he said his name was Riku..."
My face paled at the name. Riku? Bleeding? TO DEATH? I ran right through my door to the closest hospital there was near cheapo shop. I ran in and asked for Riku. " He is in room 57... You can't see him but you can look through this window here..." the nurse said. There were doctors everywhere. I couldn't see that well but I managed to see his legs... (( good view ain't it!)) They looked really bad. One was bleeding badly and the other had a large blue spot. " Riku... PLEASE be alright... I don't know what I'd do if you were to leave me... we were supposed to meet tomorrow..." I whispered in a broken way.
A little while later...
I arrived back home after a crying session in the waiting room. I got the results too... he has to be in a coma... at least 5 months worth... His legs were broken, all his ribs were damaged, his arm was dislocated, he had a large gash on the back of his head, his had to get some stitches around his waist area. When I got back home Yuffie was still there. She came back and asked me what's wrong. I told her and cried again. When I told her I cried harder and she cried with me.
" Oh Leon... it'll be ok! He'll be fine... It's may take along time to heal... but you have me, Kairi, and Sora! We'll help you get through with this... trust me!" Yuffie assured me. I nodded and just held on to her as she returned it to me.
2 MONTHS LATER...
" Oh Leon... your room is a pigsty!" Yuffie shrieked. " Um... so what? Riku'll be here soon to help me..." I said in a depressed.. Out-Of-World voice... " Leon... When I say we'll help you get through with this doesn't mean we'll bring you your Ice-Cream and Chocolate! NOW GET YOUR ASS UP AND WORK! MY business isn't going well because you aren't coming!" Yuffie yelled in my ear. I got up and washed myself. " Ok Mister.. Get your ass up and get your dirty clothes off the ground!" Yuffie ordered.
" UGH... Why! Riku'll be..."
" NO HE WON'T! NOT FOR ANOTHER THREE MONTHS! Just think... he'll be here on a messy room like this! WORK YOUR ASS! COME ON!" Yuffie yelled at me taking a shovel out and shoveling my clothes in a hamper. " Ok ... whatever.."
6 hours later...
" FINALLY! Your room is squeaky clean! NOW FOR THE KITCHEN!" Yuffie smiled. I was wasted on my ground and dazed from the clorox. " Y... Yuffiee..." I moaned. " OH RUFF IT UP LIKE A BIG BOY!" Yuffie squealed as she headed for my small kitchen.
For the rest of the day Yuffie cleaned... later that day it was all good and cleaned. " Ok! Well, I gotta go now... I need to get Kairi to work!" Yuffie said as she immediately poofed out of my place. " UM.. Ok.. I promise to get to working tomorrow..." I sighed out. " Hm... I think I'll take a ride..." I said as I got my goggles and ran out to my bike.
The moonlight fell on me making my skin look milky white... the breeze was crisp and cool as it hit my face. I kept riding on till I found myself up front of a hospital. " Mmm... Riku... I miss you baby..." I whispered as I continued to drive on. I promised Yuffie I wouldn't go and visit Riku.. Instead he'll have to visit me... once he recovers... The doctor told me before I left was that there is a chance that he won't remember me as well as he used too... There maybe times where he'll think I am a deadly disease... To some people, they would call him Bipolar... but I just call it brain damage...
" I hope you'll remember me, Ri-chan..." I said still driving on... What the hell type of nickname Ri-chan is you ask? Well... I wanted one! So I'll call him by something other than Riku! It fits hi to me... Hm... I think it does... oh well... " I am SO hungry.. When have I last eaten... hmm... I'll stop by White Castle..." I said to myself driving faster to get to my destination.
" Um... can I get a number one... and I would like to have Diet Pepsi..."
" Is that all sir?"
" Uhh... yea... WAIT! Can I get some... chocolate ice-cream after I finish?"
" Yes...sir... is that all?"
" Yup..."
" Ok your order is number 12... Please take your seat while we make your food..." the cashier mumbled as he handed me my receipt. " Thank you!" I said taking my seat quick like my food will appear up front of me any second.
I heard the sound of jingles as the door opened. I looked up from my paper place-mat. A young male with Silver hair past his shoulders stood there... his amazing (( I dunno if it's right, you FF7:AC fans...)) green eyes. " Ri...Riku..." I whispered. HE look almost like Riku than ever before but the difference is... is that... his bangs weren't all in his face like Riku's... So I had my hopes shot down, but still... this Silver haired god is as gorgeous as My baby, Riku...
When he spoke to the cashier... his voice shocked me... his light voice... it's creepy yet so unique... I never heard a voice like that... Then I heard his name.. Yazoo... I never heard of him before... Before I noticed it, two more guys came in... One who's tall and has short messy silver hair... then another male that looked about... 19... his hair was just above his shoulders and all their eyes matched. Just as bright and green. They must be brothers... Hm... But that one guy is gorgeous... Yazoo... I should tell Riku about him... but he might get jealous...
" Who might be jealous?" I heard a voice ask me. " Huh?"
" I asked, Who might be jealous?" the voice asked again. I saw the god standing above me looking at me with his emerald eyes. " Um... uh... did I say my thoughts out loud?" I asked with heat rising up to my face. " Well... I heard my name come from your perfect mouth... I just got curious... and when I heard that he'll be jealous... I just felt like asking..."
" NUMBER 12"
" Uh.. Um. That's my o..order..."
" Don't worry, I'll still be here..." he assured. I nodded and got up to get my food. Once I sat back down I stared at his eyes. I ate my first small burger and when I was done... he handed my a napkin. " Um..."
" Mustard is running down your chin... Oh... Let me introduce you to my bro...ther... I was right then... ha ha my other brother left.. But the one waiting for me is Kadaj.. (( I forgot the taller one's name sooo yea...))" Yazoo said as he pointed to the young man. I finished my last burger and started drinking my drink. " So.. How old are you?" I asked taking small sips. " I am 20... my younger brother here is 17... he just started college... We all go to Oijinka university... How about you?" Yazoo asked. " Um.. I am in Shijin University... we aren't close..." I muttered... " Hm.. Well, you can have my number if you want... here..." Yazoo said as he got a pen and napkin and wrote it down. Once he finished I took it and placed it in my pocket.
" So.. Who would be jealous?" he asked again. " oh.. Ha ha... my boyfriend... Right now he's in a coma... and it's most likely that he'll forget a couple of things... he means the world and beyond to me... so I wish that he'll remember me...
" Oh.. I'm sorry to hear that! I hope he gets well soon... When will he be released?" he asked. " 3 more months... he already was in there for 2 months... I'm kinda scared on how things'll turn out... so I'm trying to calm down." I replied.
" Oh.. My order is up.. And it's to go... You can call me tomorrow... I'll be waiting..." Yazoo said as he got up, got his order, and went of with his brother. They each had a bike of there own... so they all drove off.
" Yea... I"ll call..."
(A/N: Well... there you have it! Ha ha ... Weird to know that mainly Final Fantasy characters are mostly in this but hey... Riku and Leon are in the same game so I had to make it work... besides I like how Leon looks WAY more in KH than FF8... ha ha anywayz until next time!)
