Chapter #6, Evil Plans
Sora watched, as his mother packed her last suitcase to their car. After mild cursing over the bag, she turned her attention to Sora, who stood on the doorstep. She sighed and looked at him concern filling her eyes, "Are you sure you're going to be okay? I'm not very confident about this… Maybe I should stay and-"
"No, mom, I'm alright. I'm feeling a lot better now." A lie.
"But-"
"Really mom. In fact I'm feeling a little hungry. That means I'm okay, right?" Another lie.
"…I guess…" Aerith said, still little unsure. "But remember to eat. And listen what Cloud says, I know you turn 18 tomorrow, but that doesn't mean that you'd stop being careless."
Sora pouted and crossed his arms. Aerith laughed to this cute gesture and hugged her son and planted kisses to his forehead. "Aww, you're so cutecutecutecute. I can't believe I have such an adorable son… No wonder why someone would like to molest such a cute boy- oh I mean- man like you!"
"M-mom!" Sora shrieked in horror, as he heard his mother say such a thing. But the brunette woman just laughed and messed Sora's hair. "But that's true. You're sooooo cute!"
"Ugh, mom! You're making me blush! I'm not cute! Arrgh, please just leave!" Sora cried and shoved Aerith inside the car, and slammed the door shut. The woman inside the car continued to giggle, as she opened the window.
"Oh, Sora! Just remember, next time I see you, I don't wanna meet you at hospital! You understand what I mean?" she pinched Sora's cheek. He narrowed his eyes and rubbed the spot his mother had just pinched him, "Yeah, that means, no drugs, not too much alcohol, and I have to eat something, right? Okay, bye!"
Aerith laughed, and gave soft kiss to Sora's forehead, before she drove off. He sighed in relief, as he waved tiredly after the car. Finally he was able to make her leave yet he wasn't sure if his decision was so clever. He really wasn't feeling any better than he did yesterday, but he just couldn't admit it to his mother. She'd just worry even more, and wouldn't leave to her earned vacation.
Sora turned on his heels and walked back inside. He was waiting in horror tomorrow. Parties were something Sora had never got really used to- there was just too many intoxicated peoples. He sighed and walked to the living room, where Cloud already sat, staring at the TV.
"Did she finally go?" Cloud asked, his gaze staying at the screen. Sora sank to the couch next to him. "Yeah."
"Wow, you actually managed to persuade her to leave. I'm impressed." The blonde snickered and Sora rolled his eyes. He frowned as he looked at the TV. "…What in the world are you looking at?"
"What?"
"Teletubbies! That's just gross! I mean, how stupid adults are? And how stupid they think children are, when they do something like this!" Sora groaned and pointed the TV with his finger. Cloud snorted and playfully punched Sora's arm. "Hey, not everyone's so smart as you're, smart-ass."
Sora folded his arms and pouted hardly. "I hate you."
"Hahaha, oh no you don't." Cloud laughed and shrugged. "You respect me, and you want to be just like me, but, alas, you'll never be as bright as I am…"
"…Right…" Sora rolled his eyes and kicked Cloud's feet. The said one's eyes narrowed, and he smacked a sofa pillow to Sora's head. The brunette pouted, but grabbed a remote control and hit Cloud's head with it. The blonde rubbed his head and grabbed the controller and started to slap Sora with it. Laughing, the younger one jumped to his feet and dashed out of the room, his brother following right behind him, swinging the remote controller like a lunatic.
"Okay, okay! I give up!" Sora gasped between laughs, as he dodged the controller as it flew to the wall. "That's the twentieth remote control you broke!"
Cloud laughed and shrugged. "You started it. But hey, be happy that it didn't hit your face."
"Don't you think that after twenty flying controller, I haven't learnt to dodge them? And why did you even throw it? Next time you should use pillow or something!" Sora giggled as he poked the blonde's ribs.
"Dunno. I guess it's a bad habit. Next time I try to aim better."
"Hah, you wouldn't even hit a lake, even if you'd be standing in the bottom of it."
"Why you little…" Cloud laughed and tickled Sora's sides, causing him to squirm helplessly. "…Never make fun of my sniper-aim."
Sora tried to add something smart to this comment, but Cloud's fingers on his ribs caused him to laugh too much. "Say you surrender, and never ever even think anything bad about my perfect aim."
"O-okay! I-I sur-surrender!" Sora panted, as his big brother finally removed his hands. The brunette inhaled a deep breath, trying to regain his normal breathing rhythm.
Eventually, both of them ended back to the living room, watching Teletubbies. Sora groaned every now and then, while Cloud laughed to those stupid creatures that jumped up and down, and repeating them selves. Finally, the show ended, and Cloud shut the TV.
"Okay, now I wanna you to tell me what you think about Riku." Cloud stated calmly, his tone scaring serious. Sora gulped, his eyes followed his brother as he sat down next to him. He scratched his head absently, opening and closing his mouth like a goldfish. "Look, I just wanna make sure. I know he loves you, but do you love him?"
"…I…"
"I don't want Riku to break your heart." Cloud shook his head. "…But I don't wanna you to break Riku's heart either. He might look strong, but he really is fragile inside. He had faced so much faithless peoples, and his heart had been broken more than once. There's still so much you don't understand. You don't understand how easily you hurt someone who loves you…"
"Cloud." Sora said firmly, and looked at Cloud, his eyes flaming. "I'm not a child anymore, okay? And I'd never do anything that would hurt Riku. I know he had been hurt. But he's not the only one." Sora's eyes clouded with sadness, and Cloud realized the mistake he had made. Cursing he rubbed his temples.
"Fuck… Look, I didn't mean it like that. Of course he's not the only one. I know it hurt when Kairi didn't return your feelings and all… But… But that's different." Sighing Cloud rolled his eyes. Sora nodded and looked down, "Yeah. But that's not what I meant. He had been hurt, I've been hurt, but so have you and mom and Cid and Tidus…"
Cloud's eyes softened, and he hugged his little brother, who yelped surprised. "You're such a caring little brother. We all have been hurt at least once in our lifetime… I'm sorry I even doubted your social skills."
"Umm…" Sora mumbled and Cloud pulled away. The blonde man eyed the other man and messed his brown hair. "I know! I'll go rent some movies, and you call Riku here, okay?"
"W-wait, I-"
"No buts." Cloud stood up, and grabbed his wallet from a coffee table.
Sora watched at his big brother, as he grabbed his jacket and headed towards the door. Then it hit him, "H-hey! How did you know Riku likes me? And how do you know I love him!"
"Oh, I have my sources…" Clouw winked before exiting the house, leaving very dumbfounded Sora behind. The brunette sat on the sofa and blinked his eyes. How he'd be able to call Riku, without mumbling into the phone.
Grumbling Sora walked to the kitchen and took the phone. With shaking hands he dialed Riku's number, what he already knew without looking it from anywhere. He gulped, as he waited for an answer. Silently, he begged that he wouldn't answer, but because of course, no one heard his prayers.
"Hi." Was the answer from Riku.
"Eh… Ri-Riku… I-I w-wa-was just…" Sora tried to mumble proper words, but found it pretty hard for some reason. Never before he had had such problems talking with his best friend. But things had changed… they weren't best friends anymore… no, they were something more…
"What is it Sora? Cat got your tongue?" Riku mocked. Sora didn't understand how could he be so damn calm. Sighing, the brunette tried to get his act together. "I-I… C-Cloud w-went to rent s-so-some movies… I-I won-wondered if you'd w-wanted to c-co-come over and j-join us…"
Sora heard soft laugh from the phone, "Sure. As long as I can be with you, everything's fine." The brunette gulped, and could tell from Riku's voice that he was grinning from ear to ear.
"E-hehe… W-well, se-see you s-soon…" Sora ended the call right after he heard Riku say 'Right, bye.'. Sighing heavily, he placed the phone to its place, and leaned against the counter. His feet started to tremble, and so did his arms, when he even thought about a certain silver-haired man. And how he was supposed to act in front of him, when he was in this condition already?
Sora froze. He'd make a clown of himself in front of Riku. Not that he haven't done it many times before, but it all was different now. Panic started to rise inside Sora, as he looked at the clock. Cloud had left merely ten minutes ago, or so, and Riku'd be there in fifteen minutes, which meant Cloud wouldn't come back before Riku. Sora bit his nails nervously, while glancing the clock.
"Oh no…"
Cloud walked into a video renting. The shopkeeper greeted him, and he nodded his head to him. He straightly walked to the horror film section. He knew Sora didn't like horror movies, but since Riku was there, renting a horror movie meant more cuddling. Cloud snickered to himself, and to his evil plans, while searching through the most horrible movies.
"Oh, his shorty." A cold voice said behind him, and Cloud looked over his shoulder, only to see Leon standing there. He rolled his eyes tiredly and turned fully around. "What do you want?"
"Nothing. I was just wondering what you're looking at." The leather dressed man snorted and folded his arms. The other man raised his eyebrows and nodded his head towards the movies behind his back. "Looking for a good horror movie. Do you know any?"
Leon shook his head slightly. "I don't watch horror movies too much. I like more action. Those American idiot movies, what they call horror, are so pitiful. I can't believe a smart person like you watch them."
"Am not." Cloud shrugged and smirked. "…But I need a very spooky horror movie to fulfill my evil plan. Oh, but I guess I can do it even without a scary film… Well do you know any good action movies?"
Leon motioned Cloud to follow him, and leaded him to the action movies section.
"Hmm…" Cloud eyed the movies, and spotted James Bond. "Hey, I've never seen this! Is this good?"
"No."
"Oh… So how about this… The Day After Tomorrow… What do you think?"
"That's awful."
"Okay… Well, how about…" Cloud reached his hand and took a film from the self. "A.I (1)? This' not an action movie, but have you seen it anyways? Looks like a film, I'd like to see also."
Leon took the movie and examined it for a second, before shoving it back to Cloud's hands. He shook his head. "No, I haven't seen it." He said before turning around, and starting to walk away. Cloud looked after him, and suddenly an idea flashed into his (twisted) mind.
"Yo, Leon! Wait up!" Leon stopped his walking, and turned around. "You said you haven't seen this, right? You can join us, if you want! My little brother's… umm… friend is coming too, so I don't mind if you come also."
Leon raised his eyebrow, before shrugging. "Why not. I don't have anything better to do anyways."
The blonde smiled, and went to rent the movie. Leon smiled to the back of Cloud. There was just something that attracted him in that spiky blonde. Was it because of that smile? Or because of that perfect smile? Leon didn't know, but one thing he knew- Cloud had stolen a special place in his heart.
"Are you coming or not?" Cloud laughed, as he already was walking out of the door. Shaking his head Leon drove away the thoughts of Cloud, along the smile, and returned his face to its normal cold expression. Slowly he walked after the blonde, while running his hand through his elegant hair. That caused the blue-eyed man to giggle lightly. "What?" Leon snapped.
"No, nothing… it just looks so funny when you run a hand through your hair like that." Cloud replied, and grabbed Leon's arm. "Come on! We have to hurry! We have a long night ahead of us… Umm… I mean… Not us, but my little brother and his friend…"
"Riku, right?" Leon asked suddenly, and Cloud nodded. "Yeah, Riku. Oh, and one more thing… They're like… a thing… so… umm… if you have a problem with- "
"No, it's not a problem at all. I guess, it's kind of… well, unusual when two men loves each other… But it's okay." Leon said, but didn't sound so convincing as he was supposed to sound. Cloud, however, ignored this, and just nodded his head rapidly. "I think it's cute, really! And when it comes to Riku and Sora, they're just like made for each other!"
"You think so?" The brunette raised his eyebrow, and Cloud continued to nod his head.
"It is, it is! Now let's go!" He laughed, and started to yank Leon's arm.
Sora sat on the couch, watching in horror as the time flew by. Any moment now, Riku'd be ringing the doorbell. Nervously Sora grabbed the sofa pillow and started to hug it tightly. He inhaled a shaky breath, and closed his eyes, trying to calm his thoughts, that roamed a little too wild.
The doorbell's ringing made Sora jump. He gulped, and walked to the door.
He slowly pulled the door open, revealing Riku. The silver-haired man smiled faintly. "Hi Sora."
"R-Ri-R-Riku!" Sora yelped and stepped aside, so the other man could enter the house. Riku gave an amused smirk to Sora as he kicked his shoes off and walked to the living room. The brunette sighed and slapped himself. He had to even try act like nothing's wrong. Like the good old days.
"Are you going to stand there slapping yourself for rest of the day?" Riku laughed, as he peered from the living room. Gathering all his courage Sora started to walk back to the living room to accompany Riku. His feet felt like jellies, but somehow he managed to walk into the room and sit to the couch, as far as Riku as possible.
Riku blinked his eyes, but knew better than try to go near the brunette. "I'm sorry Sora. Looks like I've messed up, huh?"
"…" Sora bit his lip, unable to say anything. He felt kind of stupid, just sitting there, but Riku didn't seem to mind. The silver-haired man glanced Sora, before looking up at the ceiling. He, too, found it pretty hard to say anything. At first he had thought Sora had liked the kiss, but now it seemed like the whole thing had been nothing but a big mistake.
Riku peered Sora, who was thinking, cute thoughtful pout expression on his face. Both were thinking about a topic, what would drive away the silence that slowly made them crazy. Sora opened his mouth, but closed it, when he came to the second thoughts.
Finally Riku managed to began chatting. "Umm, so how does it feel like to become 'an adult'?"
"…Good…"
"Right… Well, how's Tidus? I haven't seen him around much. Is he hanging around with that hyper girl… umm… what was her name again?"
"Selphie and yes he's fine and hanging around with her."
"Look, Sora." Riku folded his arms and sighed heavily. "I'd really want you to forget me for what I've done. Let's just… be like nothing never happened, okay?"
Sora looked up at Riku with sorrowful eyes. He shook his head, before leaning it to his palms. "No… I… Riku… It's…" He mumbled, his face hidden behind his hands. "… This' strange… I don't know what to say Riku…"
"It's okay." The silver-haired man smiled full-heartedly and dared to go nearer the other man. He reached his hand, to touch Sora, but pulled it back. He didn't want to risk anything, when he already was this far. One wrong move, and all could come crashing down. "I'd be kind of shocked too, if my best friend would confess his/her love towards me."
"So, you'd be shocked if I'd confess?" Sora chuckled.
"No, that's not what I meant…" Riku said, and gained very skeptical look from the brunette. "…Okay, okay, you got me. I meant that, but not that way… You understood what I meant, didn't you?"
Sora shook his head, and smiled his perfect genuine smile, that made Riku's heart melt. Even if Sora turned eighteen, he'd never mature like he did. The azure-eyed boy had a gift of eternal youth. Despite all the hardships, pain and misery this young adult had faced, he could still sense the joy of life in his sky blue eyes. Sora was stronger than he thought he'd be. Peoples often underestimated Sora, because of his naivety, but inside, he held a strength that no one else does.
"Uh… W-why are you staring at me like that for?" Sora blushed slightly, and Riku wanted to say 'aaww', but managed to hold himself. Instead he just smiled and messed Sora's hair. "Just thinking how cute you are."
"NOO!" Sora fake-cried and slapped Riku's arm, "I'm not cute! I'm handsome! Men are handsome, not cute!" He pout-frowned to Riku, who started to laugh. The expression was just too cute.
"If you don't want to be cute…" Riku said, after a while laughing, "…Don't do that blushing, pouting and frowning thing… That's just way too adorable."
"Ri-kuuu…" Sora whined. "You're so meaaaaaan…."
The silver-haired man rolled his eyes, smiling widely. At least, now Sora was back on his usual self, even if it meant that annoying whiny attitude… But when Riku thought about it, Sora's whining wasn't so annoying… it was more like cute. Oh, but Sora's every movement were cute, so that wasn't a surprise.
Sora really had suddenly forgotten all of his shyness. Even though- he was still scared the silver-haired man would jump on him every moment now. Not that he thought that Riku was a pervert or anything, but something in his eyes and gestures made the younger one nervous.
The brunette was too deep in his thoughts, that he didn't notice a hand snake around his waist, until he was pulled onto Riku's lap. He yelped, but didn't fight back. Riku smiled and buried his head into Sora's messy hair, inhaling the sweet scent of his shampoo.
"R-R-Ri-Riku!" Sora cried, as he felt two strong arms rubbing his sides gently. But Riku didn't let go, no- he even pulled Sora closer to his chest, running his hands on Sora's back, massaging it lovingly. "Riku what are you doing?" Sora tried again to get Riku's attention, but in vain.
A surprised gasp escaped from Sora's lips, as his back was shoved against couch. Sora blinked his big blue eyes, as he lied there, pinned down by Riku, who currently sat on his chest.
"Riku…"
But Riku just smiled absently, as he leaned down slowly. A hand cupped Sora's cheek, and thumb stroked his cheek, as the older man leaned closer and closer his face. Soon their noses were touching, and Sora held his breath, knowing what was coming next. Riku felt the body beneath him tense and he whispered, his breath hitting Sora's slightly parted lips. "Are you afraid, Sora?"
"I…I'm n-n-not!" The brunette gulped, his eyes staring Riku's lips, which were a mere inch away from his.
"Then, why you don't try and relax?" Riku leaned down, but didn't push his lips against Sora's, but moved to nibble his earlobe. Sora moaned to the contact, the noise that came from his mouth scaring him. He had never thought, that kind of voice could never pass his lips. Riku, however, was pleased to this small gesture of pleasure, and breathed to Sora's ear, causing the younger one to shiver. "…Too bad Cloud's coming back soon… there's so much I'd have loved to do with you…"
To Sora's relief (?), Riku pulled away. He removed himself on top of Sora, and the said one sat up, feeling an odd coldness come. He placed his hand to his chest, on top of his heart, feeling it beat hardly. The other hand he placed to his cheek, and he could feel it flaming. Riku sat next to him, and placed his hand around the brunette's shoulder, squeezing lightly. "No matter what you say, you're a damn cute person."
"Am not." Sora pouted, blush still coloring his cheeks.
"Are too."
"Nuh-uh."
"Yes, you are."
Sora grabbed the sofa pillow and smacked it to Riku's head. The older one just laughed, and snatched the pillow from his hands, and hit the brown-head with it, not too hard though. Sora pouted again, and folded his arms. "You're no fun, Riku."
"Oh, you don't know me." Riku winked and caused Sora to wince.
"No, I think I know you too well…" Closing his blue eyes, Sora sighed and shyly placed his head to Riku's shoulder. "…D-do you mind?"
Riku looked down at him, smiling softly. "Not at all. How could I mind, when someone so cute wants to lean his head on my shoulder?" Sora opened his eyes slightly, mumbling something fuzzy, before closing them again.
Suddenly the front door flew open, and Sora opened his eyes and quickly sat up straightly. Light-pink color was visible on his cheeks, as he tried to pretend anything happened. Cloud, however, walked inside, grinning madly. "Oh, hi Riku! Mind if I change few words with you?"
Riku stood up and walked after Cloud. He noticed Leon standing at the doorstep, and he raised his eyebrow. "Leon? I thought you and Cloud weren't going along too well?"
"You're right." The leather dressed man shrugged and took his shoes off. "I just came to watch the movie Cloud rented. No big deal."
"Riiight…" Riku smirked and walked to kitchen after Cloud, leaving Leon alone with Sora.
In the kitchen Cloud turned and looked at Riku. He rubbed his temples and cursed slightly. The silver-haired man looked at him quizzically. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just some headache… nothing big." Cloud shrugged, and went to search for aspirin. He could feel Riku's concerned glare on his back, and he smiled. "Don't worry, peoples have headache sometimes."
"Yeah, you may be right, but you are suffering from it kind of much lately, haven't you noticed?" Riku folded his arms and leaned his back on the counter. Cloud sighed and nodded tiredly. Of course he had noticed he had had much headache, but some painkillers made it go away, so it wasn't a big deal.
"I know." The blonde said, as he grabbed a pack of small white pills. He took two of them, and filled a glass with cool water. Riku kept his eyes on Cloud, who swallowed the pills with the water. "I guess you and Sora are doing pretty well, aren't you?"
Riku nodded, smiling softly. Even speaking of Sora made his heart melt.
"But, you know Riku…" Cloud said, shaking his head. "You shouldn't go too fast with him. He has no experience about love relationships. I know you're an unlucky one too, but…"
Riku patted Cloud's shoulder, grinning widely. "Don't worry Cloud. I won't go ahead of things. You know you can trust me, don't you?" He said and turned around, starting to walk back to the living room.
"Wait, Riku…" Cloud said, his tone sad and his head bowed. Riku frowned as he watched the sulky blonde. "…If… If someday, I'm not here anymore… Promise to take care of Sora? I know this sounds pretty odd, but I just wanna make sure Sora's going to be alright."
"Cloud, stop it." Riku said firmly. "It's not like you're going to die someday soon. But when you will, I'll take care of him. No matter what… Just stop talking like that, you're creeping me out!" The silver-haired man chuckled and waved his hand lightly.
"Yeah… I'm sorry…"
Meanwhile, the smaller brunette looked over Leon from the couch and smiled. Leon frowned to the small blush on Sora's face. "Hi… I'm Sora. Who're you?"
"Leon." Leon stated simply and sat next to Sora, who looked dreamily into nothingness. First, he had been shocked from Riku's sudden movements, but when he thought about it, he found it very… romantic, you could say. Sora sighed, like a lovesick schoolgirl, who just had had a reply to her love-letter from her 'secret' crush. Leon chuckled. "Heh, you're even worse than your brother."
Sora blinked his eyes, smiling widely as he turned his head towards the other man. "Excuse me?"
"Nothing." Was a simply reply. Sora continued to smile happily, returning to his own dreamy thoughts. Humming happily to himself, he closed his eyes, and could feel Riku's gently touches on his skin again. Once, again Leon's chuckling tore him away from his dreaming. "What?" Sora asked sounding a little bit annoyed.
"Hey, chill out. That's just so funny how much you love Riku."
"That's…- That's not true!" Sora blushed, while giggling madly. Leon could only roll his eyes and chuckle some more.
"What's so funny?" Cloud came from the kitchen, carrying a big bowl of chips and three beer cans and a bottle of coke. But when Leon and Sora both stayed silent, Cloud snorted and lifted his chin. "Oh, fine. I see how it is. You don't wanna tell your dirty little secrets to me."
Sora groaned, still smiling, as Leon gave Cloud a disbelieving glare. Riku came also back, and sat between Sora and Leon. He looked both of them, the other one was snickering, while other one was rolling his eyes every now and then and snorting. He lifted his eyebrow and asked, "Anything interesting happened while I was gone?"
"Nothing, nothing…" Sora smiled to Riku and the said one couldn't do anything else but return the gesture. Oh, how he wished he could help Sora smile forever… "…Hn… I guess I just have to believe you. You're so damn cut…- ah, I mean handsome…"
Sora pouted and crossed his arms. "Why are you always mocking me?"
"Because it's so damn fun. And you look so cute when you pout like that."
Cloud snorted, as he sat next to Leon. "Could you please stop that flirting? You can go to Sora's room if you want to continue your… errm… doings, but we're starting to watch this movie now." He tried to sound annoyed, but sounded more like amused.
"Oh, sorry Cloud. Your little brother is just so adorable. But I guess I hold myself for now." Riku grinned, and grabbed a beer can from the coffee table. Sora took his coke. "You could've bought me a beer too… I'm eighteen tomorrow…"
The blonde man smirked, as he stood up to put the DVD, to the player. "Yeah, but you're not yet. And besides, mom would kill me, if she'd hear you had your first hangover before you were eighteen. You know her, overprotective as always."
"She's not only one who's overprotective." Sora mumbled, but satisfied to his coke. Pouting slightly, he drank it, obvious about a pair of sea-green eyes following his every move. Riku snaked his arm around Sora's waist, causing the younger man to gasp.
Leon tried his hardest to ignore the cooing next to him, and stared at Cloud, who was kneeling in front of the DVD-player.
"Okay! Here we go!" Cloud said happily when the movie started to play. He slumped next to the brunette, giving his brother and Riku a warning glare. The silver-haired man, however, ignored all of this, and pulled Sora closer. He was happy when he gained no protests from the younger one.
This time nothing will go wrong… Riku smiled to himself, Sora isn't like them…
"What do you want from me?" Axel hissed and narrowed his eyes to Kairi, who had followed him from the grocery market, to his house. The redhead man started to get really annoyed. But Kairi ignored all of the glares and insults she got, and walked after Axel. "…Really, why are you following me?"
Kairi sighed and stopped walking. "I want ask you a favor."
"A favor?" Axel's eyebrow rose and he froze to his place. He didn't know if he liked or disliked the serious tone of Kairi's.
"Yes a favor." The brunette girl folded her arms over her chest and grinned oddly. Axel's eyebrow lifted even more. "…I want you to help me. I know you like Sora."
The redhead nearly fell on his back, but managed to remain his balance. Coughing, he straightened his shirt and looked at the girl, who gave him an innocent look. "So you was the one who took those pictures… No wonder they were so good. Do you have any copies of them?"
"Of course!" Kairi giggled and took few photos from her pocket. "You can have them! I have thousands of those!"
Axel smiled evilly as he snatched the pictures from the young woman's hands. He looked at them, mumbling something to himself, before shoving them to his jacket's pockets. A lunatic smile grew to his lips, as he fixed his eyes back at Kairi. "So what's your favor?"
"Well… You heard about Sora's parties, right?" Axel nodded. "…Good. Well, you see… there's a guy, called Riku… And I'm in love with him, but all he can see is Sora. But since you like Sora, I have a plan that would satisfy both of us- You'd get Sora and I'd get Riku."
Axel grinned, flashing his white teeth. "So, what's the plan?"
"Teeheehee, I knew you'd agree with me…" Kairi scanned her surroundings, making sure no one was listening behind a corner or something. "Okay, listen carefully…"
Wakka walked down a street, pondering where to go. Riku had cancelled their today's practicing, because he had something 'important' he had to do. The redhead chuckled as he wondered what was that important matter, which made Riku suddenly so 'busy'.
The sun shone brightly after few days raining, tickling Wakka's cheekbones. For the long time, the sun sent warming rays, not just a cold shimmer. When Wakka thought nothing could go wrong, he spotted a brown-hair and yellow sundress coming behind a fence. Cursing, he searched a place to hide with his eyes, but there was no escape. He was afraid the girl would go crazy like she did yesterday…
Selphie smiled and hummed to herself. She looked up at the sky, where two birds were flying, across the azure sphere. Smiling she turned her glance of from the highs, and first thing she saw was Wakka. A smile grew to her lips, as another brilliant idea flashed to her mind. She ran to the awkward looking man and her smile grew even wider.
"Hi Wakkie!" She chirped and waved her hand cheerfully. Wakka sighed and waved back, but only slightly. "Hi…errmm, Selphie?"
"You remembered me!" Selphie cried happily as she jumped to hug the shocked man. Wakka, however, tried to act polite and hugged back the hyper-girl. "Yeah, I remember ya…"
Selphie smiled and let go of Wakka. She smiled sweetly and eyed him thoughtfully. Then she clapped her hands happily and jumped up and down. "I have an idea! You wanna go out with Tiddy, right right? How about, if I'll make him go to a date with you! Well, well? What do you say?"
Wakka blinked his eyes, then burst out to a heavy laugh. Selphie frowned. "What's so funny!"
"Look, I know you're concerned about Tidus, but I can deal with him on my own, ya?" The redhead laughed and walked past dumbfounded girl, who could just stare after him. Slowly a smile returned to her lips, and she nodded her head.
"Wakka…" Wakka turned around and looked at Selphie. "…You're going to make a cute couple!" She said, feeling a slight jealously in her heart, but she tried her hardest to ignore it. But if she wasn't able to have Tidus, she was able to see him happy.
"Selphie… I don't know how did ya find out, but I appreciate your help. But I don't think that I and Tidus will never be… Ya know… A thing…" After saying that, Wakka walked calmly away., leaving very unsatisfied Selphie behind. A pout formed to her lips, as she gave the last angry glare to Wakka, before he turned behind a corner.
"Aargh…" She kicked a lonely leaf on the ground, making it spin around in the air. "Men are so stupid sometimes!"

Heart's Door: Thank you. I know I have mistakes in grammar, my humblest apologies. But you see, English is not my first language, which makes it all a little bit harder… But I'm trying to get better.
