"Riku?"
A silver haired teen looked up to find a certain brunette standing in the doorway of his bedroom.
The teen had been sprawled on his bed, head at the feet of the bed, reading a book. One of his favorites actually, 'The Dante Club' it was called.
He smiled at Sora, who continued to stare blackly at him, his blue eyes hollow.
Riku frowned, "Sora? Is something wrong? What's up?"
Then suddenly, Sora gave him an adorable pout, his eyes filled with hurt and cuteness at the same time.
"Riku…," he whimpered as he walked closer to his older friend, who sat up and let his legs dangle at the side of his bed.
"Sora…what'd you do now?" Riku asked, thinking it was just something silly now that Sora was being so adorable.
The brunette came closer and hugged the older one, resting his head on his shoulder.
Riku smiled, letting his arms wrap around Sora's waist, as he waited for the younger boy's reply.
"Ri-chan…I'm sorry…"
He felt a tear smear his face as the brunette gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Sor-uhhh…," Riku gasped a pain beyond his imagination exploded on his back.
The brunette's arms disappeared from his neck and his touch faded as he stood and stepped away from the dying teen.
Before collapsing, he looked up at his boyfriend.
Tears mixing with blood falling from his sun kissed flawless skin due to…glass?
His pouty lips were turned upward into a sad smile, a knife in his hands as he drew it up and tilted it to his heart…
Then…
The knife past through him…
Azure eyes widened
That was the last thing he saw before everything turned red.
"SORA!"
The silver haired teen sat up panting, sweaty and disturbed.
WHAT was that?
Sweat dripped from his forehead as tears fell from his eyes, he hid his face with his hands and rested his elbows on his lap.
What just happened…and…why did it seem so real?
Riku shook his head furiously, bringing a hand and roughly wiped away the tears that had already fallen from his eyes once stopping.
I have to call Sora…
With this thought, the elder boy removed the sweaty white covers from his body, and stood up from his bed.
Walking towards his mirror, he put his hair up in a ponytail as he inspected how he looked.
Luckily, he looked more tired then if he'd actually be sobbing. His eyes had the lightest tin of grey beneath the gleaming aquamarine.
He looked somewhat sweaty, nothing a shower couldn't fix anyways.
Satisfied with his appearance, Riku stepped out of his room and into the quiet hallway of his small one story home.
He walked to the kitchen, passing by the clock to see that it was twelve in the afternoon.
Looks like he'd slept late, Shizuma had work so he had the house to himself as usual.
Stepping into the kitchen, he couldn't help but stare at the flowery wallpaper…seriously his mother was obsessed with ROSES.
The kitchen floor was made of wood, and had a shine to it for some odd reason.
Shizuma decided to mop the floor for once, go figure.
He picked up the phone and dialed Sora's number, his stomach twisting in worry and anticipation caused by that dream…well nightmare really if you think about it.
Ring…
Silence
Ring…
Silence
Ring…
Silence
-Click-
At the click, Riku got excited.
"Sora!"
However, despite the boy's wishes, it was only the answering machine.
"Hello, you have reached the Kasami residence. We are unable to take your call at this moment, please leave your name, numb…"
Riku hung up before the automated answering machine woman could finish saying number.
He placed the phone back on the hook, thinking hard about what to do now.
Sora didn't use his cell phone often, if ever. This was due to the fact that he always forgot it at home when he left the house, and he was accustomed to using the house phone anyways.
Riku, on the other hand, had to buy a cell phone…because his mother broke it after a freak accident he'd rather not think about.
RING!
The silver haired teen jumped in surprise as he noticed the phone in front of him was ringing.
He picked up quickly and practically jabbed it in his ear.
"Sora?" He asked with a hopeful voice.
"Sora? Who's Sora?" A female voice inquired from the other side of the line.
Riku sighed, it wasn't Sora, wait…what?
"Wait…who is this?" He asked with a silver eyebrow raised.
"Um…This is Kairi Kusunagi…is Riku-san home?"
Riku's eyes filled with realization, he smiled.
"Hey Kairi-chan! My friend told me you called," Riku replied to his penpal.
"Riku-san! Hi there! So this is what you sound like on the phone!"
A giggle was heard emitting from Kairi's end of the phone and Riku couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yeah same thing to you…," Riku trailed off as Sora's blood stained face came to mind.
"Umm…Kairi-chan, I can't really talk right now, there something I have to do…sorry," Riku ended rather pitifully.
"That's OKAY! I just called to tell you that I'm staying here at the Islands for spring break, maybe we could get together so we can finally meet in person?"
Riku nodded to himself, although Kairi couldn't see it and so the line remained silent for awhile until he spoke up.
"Yeah, cool. I look forward to it, where you staying?"
"Feria Azure, do you know where that is?"
Riku head drew back in surprise, Feria Azure? How much money did this girl have to be able to spend just a night there?
"Yeah, yeah…look I have to go, we can make plans later."
"Alright then, I'll call back later then. Bye!"
"Bye," Riku ended the conversation and hung up the phone.
Kairi was in town, Sora killed him in a dream, Sora killed himself in a dream, and now he couldn't even get in touch with him?
Could his life get anymore weird?
-Ten Minutes Later-
After having some buttered toast with orange juice for breakfast and taking the fastest shower of his sixteen year old life, Riku decided to try calling Sora once more.
He picked up the phone and dialed Sora's number once more…only to have the a woman start to speak immediately.
"We are sorry, but the number you are trying to reach has been disconnected…"
W.T.F
Disconnected?
Was Sora mad at him?
Or maybe…has something happened to him?
Without a second thought, Riku dashed out of his house and began running down the street towards Sora's home.
Riku had never been inside the Kasami home before, strange as it sounds.
Normally, the cheerful brunette came to his house or they went somewhere to hang out such as the mall or the park. A couple of times, Riku had picked him up, but Sora had never once invited him inside.
Come to think of it, he'd never met Sora's parents either.
Wow, he really didn't know that much about Sora's life…Riku stopped as he began to ponder this.
Whenever he'd ask a question about Sora's family life, he'd always do something to avoid the question or seem interested in something else.
That's how it always was with Sora, and Riku always told himself to ask him later…only he would never remember.
Hence the not-knowing anything about his boyfriend's family…kinda screwed up when you think about it.
Riku walked the rest of the way to the Kasami home, only to stand in front of the step and look up at it in awe.
It was so creepy, his parents hadn't done anything fix up the place. It still seemed like the haunted house his childhood friends had once dared him to knock on.
The handle was still there, and as he walked up the steps, he could still hear the odd creaking sounds they made.
Reaching for the handle…the wind opened the door on its own.
It creaked slightly as it opened, and Riku could only see black.
The house was so dark inside, although luckily it had decided to get sunnier outside at this very moment and Riku could just barely make the outline of things.
He stepped, feeling around for a light switch, which he found right beside the door.
Light illuminated the grand staircase as a chandelier turned on and room was soon visible.
Having shut the door, just before turning on the light, Riku stepped forward in awe of the place.
Sora's family must be wealthy if they can afford to live in a place like this.
The curtains were dark, letting no sunlight pass through.
Was Sora not home?
It had been so dark in the house, then how come the door was unlocked?
Maybe he's in his room or something…
Riku mentally agreed with himself as he ran up the grand staircase…which was quite grand in his opinion.
Drip
Drip
A loud dripping sound was heard coming from a door around the corner of the hallway.
Riku followed the dripping sound to come to a stop outside a closed door.
He knocked on it, but received no answer.
"Hello? Sora?"
Riku asked, but to his dismay, no one answered.
Probably just a drippy faucet…
He tried opening the door…but it was locked?
The silver haired boy wondered who on earth would leave a bathroom locked from the inside…if no one was inside?
Unless…
"Sora? Are you in there!" Riku knocked on the door more forcefully, hoping nothing was wrong.
No Answer.
Okay…maybe Sora isn't in there…
Maybe he was in his room?
Riku stepped away from the door, walking down the hallway and off to find Sora.
After all, Sora had once told him he had a sign saying "Don't come in….unless you're Sora….or Riku…or food...but mostly Riku!"
Riku chuckled at the memory, looking around the sign.
The silver haired teen however, was quite naïve to the fact that the dripping was not the cause of a faucet.
But Sora instead.
-I'm stopping there. Why? Because I have evil plans that involves making this story longer and more suspenseful. (MUAHAHA)
-Got any suggestions? Ideas? Drop me a line! Review!
-Next Chapter…Will Riku find Sora? Will Kairi and Riku end up meeting each other in person? And what is Sora's take on this "Kairi" girl? Why's he in a towel in the first place? Awkward moments, Disturbing moments, and a tad bit of fluffiness await!
