Chapter #12, Be There- Part II
Tidus jumped out of Leon's car and started to run towards the hospital. The brunette man sighed, and grabbed Tidus, before he could take more than four steps.
"First, you should know something."
"What what! Let me go! I gotta go to see Sora!" Tidus cried and tried to fight free.
Leon sighed and shook his head, "Listen… When Sora fell, like I said earlier, he lost his sight. That's why, if he can't see him, don't make it a big scene."
Tidus stopped all the movement, like he'd have frozen in that instant. He turned to look Leon over his shoulder and lifted his eyebrow. "What did you say?"
"You heard me." Said Leon, before letting go of Tidus and walking towards the white building. The blonde man just stood there, his mouth left open, unable to move or think.
Was that man insane? Sora couldn't… he couldn't be blind! Tidus shook his head. Why would he believe a man, who had just given him a drive there, and he barely know? And who was he anyways? This gotta be some kind of sick, twisted joke. He started to doubt if Sora even really was in hospital.
"Are you coming?"
Tidus looked at Leon, who had stopped in front of the hospital door. He frowned, but decided to follow.
The glass-doors opened and Tidus walked inside, constantly glancing Leon, who kept his eyes on the floor. They walked up stairs, and turned behind a corner. Leon stopped in front of a door, and turned his head towards Tidus.
"Just… Don't say anything stupid." He said, before pushing the door open. Tidus nodded and walked inside.
Sora lied on the bed, and lazily turned his head towards the sound. Cloud also spun his head around, hoping to see Riku standing there, but frowned, as there was no sight of the silver-haired man. "Where's…?"
Leon shook his head and folded his arms. Cloud could read the brunette's gestures, and his expression fell. How would he be able to tell Sora that Riku didn't come?
"SORA!" Tidus screeched, as he shoved Leon out of the way and ran next to Sora's bed. The said one tilted his head slightly to left, his hollow eyes blinking. "Sora? Wh-what happened to you!"
"Tidus?" Sora asked unsurely, as Tidus took his hand into his own and nodded his head.
"Yeah, it's me! Oh my god… I… I can't believe it's true…" He gasped. Those eyes, which had once been bright blue, now stared emptily and rolled around, trying to search for something to see. Tidus' eyes started to wet. "This can't be true… Oh, how horrible! This… I mean… No… You… Sora, I…"
"It's okay Tidus." Sora said, oddly calm, "Maybe I deserved this after all."
Every one in the room gasped, and Cloud jumped to his feet and balled his fist. "DON'T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT SORA! RIKU'S A FUCKING ASSHOLE, BUT YOU DID NOTHING WRONG!"
"Cloud's right." Leon said, ever so calmly, as he placed his hand on Cloud's shoulder, intending to calm the blonde down.
"Really Sora? How can you even think stuff like that?" Tidus added, nodding his head and finally letting go of Sora's hand. He sat on a chair, where Cloud had just sat, and leaned his arms on the bed, looking thoughtful. Cloud bit his lip, feeling urge to go and kill a certain silver-haired idiot…
There was a loud knock on the door, and right after it, it was opened. Laguna walked in and looked at the others.
"Could I change a word with you… Cloud?" Laguna asked, now glancing towards Cloud, who nodded his head absently, before walking after the doctor.
The blonde closed the door after them and leaned his back on a wall. The doctor sighed deeply and brushed his hand through his long brown hair.
"It looks like Sora has some kind of eating problems. You know anything of them?"
Cloud pondered the question for a while. He could tell the doctor that he knew, and make Sora angry, or just create an excuse and make Sora happy. He knew his little brother didn't want any more troubles, or worrying peoples around him. And he was getting better anyways so…
"No. He was sick a while ago, and lost some weight. Is it that bad?" He lied easily and made a worried frown to his face.
"Not really. I was just wondering if it was anything serious." Laguna smiled, avoiding the topic about the deep wound in Sora's arm… "But anyways. It looks like the doctor is able to meet Sora tomorrow. She's kind of busy right now, but she's the best I could find."
"As long as she's going to help Sora, everything's fine. I just can't stand him being so sad… The life has been so unfair to him lately…" Cloud stated sadly, his eyes glancing the white floor. How could it even be possible for someone to suffer so much as Sora?
Laguna sighed sadly and looked up. "Well, I'd dare to say that something good is going to happen him, everytime soon. It's not like his misery would continue to haunt him for the rest of his life."
"I guess you're right." Said Cloud, nodding firmly. "I just hope that he'll be happy soon."
Selphie muttered to something angrily, as she stepped inside the hospital. She walked straightly to the receptionist and slammed her hands to the desk.
"Tell me where's Sora. NOW!"
The woman behind the desk looked beyond startled, as a cute woman like that came to shout at her like that. She quickly started to search through her computers database. After a while, she looked up and pointed towards the stairs, which leaded to the second floor.
"H-his room is in the second floor, first door from the right…" She said shakily. Selphie nodded, and muttered something, which sounded like 'thank you'.
She dashed up the stairs and slammed the door open. Cloud and Tidus looked over their shoulders, while Leon stood in a corner, his eyes closed and his back leaning on the wall. Selphie frowned as she walked towards the bed.
"Hi Sor-AAAHH!" She screamed loudly, as she saw Sora. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES!"
Tidus gave angry and sad glares towards her, while Cloud bowed his head. The brunette girl bounced up and down, screaming hysterically. She had no clue what was going on…
"Calm DOWN Selphie!" Tidus snapped angrily. Selphie shut her mouth and looked at Sora again, who had closed his eyelids, his lips curved downwards and everything that resembled the happy-go Sora, she had known was faded. All what was left was pain and misery written all over his face.
Selphie sat on the edge of Sora's bed and placed her hand on top of Sora's. Then she looked quizzically at Cloud, lifting her eyebrow. "What happened? What's wrong with Sora?"
"He…" Cloud gulped, "…He… lost his sight…"
The brunette girl's eyes widened as she heard the news. She looked back at Sora, who had hid himself under the white bed sheets. She opened her mouth, intending to say something, but she just couldn't find any words to describe how she felt right now. But even if she couldn't explain her feelings out loud, everyone understood it… since everyone felt the same.
"You messed up, you know." Kairi stated calmly, to the redheaded man, who sit in front of her. They were in a small cafeteria, near the centre of Tokyo, where the young woman had dragged Axel, who kept giving her odd glances.
"What do you mean?"
"Our plan… You remember?" She stated coldly, strict look on her face. "You. Messed. Up. Big. Time. You should have tried to convince Sora more. But what did you do? Nothing! And that caused Naminé to nearly tell about our little plan to Riku."
Axel snorted, and made 'I-wouldn't-give-a-shit' look to Kairi.
"I nearly lost my best friend, you understand?"
"Why would I care?" Axel grimaced, "First of all, you ruined my chances with Sora, and second… Well, you must admit that that's just way too evil. If you expected that I'd be able to fix Sora's broken heart- you're wrong. There's only one who can do that, but that's not me."
Axel stood up, the stair making a great sound, when it slid against the floor. He turned around, but Kairi's voice stopped him for leaving, "…Riku, right?"
"…"
"Heh…" She bowed her head, her eyebrow twitching. "You make it all sound so easy… But where was Riku when my heart was broken?"
Axel looked over his shoulder, lifting his eyebrow slightly.
"I know what it feels like to be rejected!" She raised her voice, drawing the other cafeteria's customer's attention at her. Axel groaned, and rolled his eyes. "Don't roll your eyes like that! You have no idea how much it hurt! I LOVE Riku! I just can't help it! I love him so much, that it hurts!"
"Yeah right…" Axel muttered, ready leave, but once again Kairi stopped him. This time she jumped to her feet and grabbed Axel's arm.
"Don't you just walk away from me!"
"Stop acting like you'd be the only one who has been misunderstood!"
"Well, you stop acting like you'd know everything!"
"Bitch!"
"Son of a bitch!"
"Idiot and angsty fangirl!"
"Pitiful smart-ass!"
They both inhaled a deep breath, sending fiery glares to each other. Small snickering and giggling could be heard from the other tables, but they couldn't care less. Kairi lifted her chin and continued to eye the redhead, who folded his arms and looked down at the brunette woman.
"Look, Axel…" Kairi said finally, sighing, "I wouldn't care less what you think. But if you don't want to help me after all, or to get Sora, then it's too bad."
"Good." Replied Axel, who started to walk away, "Your plan is doomed Kairi. Don't you feel any shame?"
Kairi frowned as she watched her companion to leave. Of course she felt shame and guiltiness. But it wasn't because what she had done to Sora, but what she had done to Riku, to Naminé and to Axel. All she felt towards Sora was burning hatred. She didn't know why, but somehow the brunette man made her feel miserable… He made her feel like she'd be nothing…
…It was because Sora was everything Riku wanted. He was everything she could never be.
She shook her head and looked around. Everyone was staring at her, chuckling or making faces. It was sickening to see those smirks on their faces… How could someone be so stupid and malicious as they? But then again… She was no better…
(A/N: Umm… Now we jump few hours forward, okay?)
The clock was already 4 a.m. Cloud lied his head on Sora's bed, snoring loudly, while the brunette sniffed in his sleep and rolled over. Leon, Tidus and Selphie had already left, after making sure it would be okay for the two siblings, who were fast asleep right now.
The door opened slightly, and light footsteps carried inside. A black figure walked inside, next to Sora's bed and kneeling down beside him. The stranger moved a lock of Sora's hair away from his closed eyes, behind his ear. Touching Sora's silky skin, the unknown man stared lovingly at the young man, who had stopped sniffing.
He stood up, his aqua-colored eyes never leaving from Sora. A faint smile grew to his lips, as he continued to give soft touches to the other's skin.
Eventually, he stepped back and walked to a window. He looked out at the starry sky, since he didn't want to leave yet. He knew he couldn't do anything like this in the daylight. Yes, he knew Sora loved him, but he just couldn't stand the fact that he had made him suffer so badly. It sounded stupid, but the shame and guiltiness were nearly impossible to bear.
"I knew you'd come… Riku."
Riku looked from the window to Cloud, which stood up, straightening his shirt. Moonlight made Riku's hair shine beautifully, as he slowly became visible through the shadows.
"Oh really?" He said lamely, before fixing his eyes back out of the window again, "For some reason… I highly doubt that."
"Hmph." Cloud folded his arms, and walked to Riku, eyeing him carefully. The silver-haired man ignored the glances, and leaned his back on the cold windowpane. "Did you come here to forgive Sora?"
"Forgive?" Riku chuckled, "There's nothing to forgive. He did nothing wrong…" He looked at the brunette, who now slept peacefully on the bed, "…I can't ever forgive myself what I've done."
Cloud shrugged, and smirked faintly, "You're such an idiot Riku. But I'm glad that you're not angry with Sora anymore. It was horrible to watch how Sora suffered. You should have seen how much he longed you."
Riku sighed, but said nothing. He didn't deserve Sora. He deserved no one.
"He's so innocent…" Riku said lovingly, his eyes lingering on Sora. It was relaxing to see him sleep so peacefully… "Oh, how I've messed it all up. I wonder if he ever wants to see me again… And I wonder if I'll ever be able to face him…"
"Don't be stupid." Cloud stated plainly, "All he can think is you!"
Riku sighed and shook his head. "Why is he here anyways."
Cloud's smile faded and he frowned sadly. He looked down at his shoes, didn't want to tell Riku about Sora's current condition.
"He… Fell… And… Lost his sight."
Riku's eyes widened. He turned to look at Sora, then back at Cloud. He gasped weakly, "W-what?"
"You heard me." The blonde looked up, his blue eyes all teary. Riku's heart throbbed painfully. For some reason, he felt like all this would be his fault. If he'd never messed with Sora's feelings, this would never have happened. But lose his sight? Riku had to blink his eyes, to drive away a pain from back of his eyes.
"It can't be true… He can't see anything? Anything at all?" Riku asked weakly.
"Yes… Nothing… But he might recover from it… I hope he does…"
The silver-haired man walked next to the bed and leaned down. He looked at Sora. His skin was pale and he looked so thin. So weak and fragile, yet so innocent. It was amazing, how all this pain and suffering couldn't corrupt that innocence. But Sora wasn't like everyone else. Sora was strong, when he always managed to get back to his feet, after falling down many times. Riku smiled.
"Our greatest glory is not never falling, but rising each time we fall." Riku ran his fingertips on Sora's smooth skin. Cloud watched the scene, smile slowly curving his lips upwards.
Riku touched the necklace around his neck. When an idea came to his mind, his usual smile grew to his lips. He took the chain from his neck, and eyed it for a while. 'Riku and Sora 4ever' the familiar text was written behind the heart-shaped locket.
Gently lifting Sora's head, Riku slipped the necklace around Sora's neck. He smiled and messed the brown hair playfully, leaning down whole the time. He breathed into Sora's ear, causing the brunette to move slightly.
"I'm sorry Sora… I hope we can be together someday again… Because…" He whispered the rest of the sentence so quietly, that no one, but him and Sora could hear it. Then he lifted his head, and moved to kiss Sora's lips lightly.
Riku pulled away, even if he'd like to stay there forever, never leave Sora's side. But… He just felt like he needed more time to clear his thoughts and feelings. And he'd maybe be able to look back into those sincere eyes, and hope that someday Sora'd be able to look back at him.
To Riku, it didn't matter if Sora was blind. Sora was always Sora. And he loved him just because of that. He would do anything for him- He could even die for him.
"Riku. You know you could just stay here with Sora. I think he needs you, badly." Cloud stated from the corner.
"I know. But you know… I'm an idiot, so I can't." Riku chuckled and waved his hand in the air, "…I don't think you'd understand, even if I'd explain it to you… It just feels so horrible."
Cloud shrugged, looking down again. "I hate to say this… But I'm kind of afraid…"
"Why?"
"If… If Sora won't get his sight back… What will happen?"
Riku bit his lip thoughtfully, looking over his shoulder at Sora, who curled to a ball. He smiled, or rather smirked, before returning his glance towards Cloud, "If it comes to that… I'll take care of him. No matter what will happen, I will be there for him."
Cloud smiled genuinely and nodded his head firmly. He walked to Riku and patted his shoulder few times, "I know you will. But I still don't understand your logic… I guess it got to do something with your past… Even if I don't clearly know what happened…"
Riku frowned, his expression changing to extremely dark in a mere second. He walked past Cloud, back at the window. He remained silent, before turning to look at the blonde, "You wanna know?"
Cloud nodded absently and sat on a chair next to Sora's bed, ready to listen Riku's story.
"Alright…"
(Flashback)
Riku sat on a couch, toying his jacket's sleeve nervously. He was waiting his boyfriend, Zack, to come home. It was already 10.30 p.m. and Zack's job ended 7 p.m. so he started to get worried. He bit his lip and glanced the clock all of the time, even though he tried to focus on watching the TV.
He heard the sound of key turning in the lock, and the door was pushed open. He got on his feet immediately, and dashed towards the front door.
"Za-aack! Welco-"
But before Riku could finish his sentence, he was roughly shoved against the wall. Pain shot through his veins and he hissed loudly. He narrowed his eyes, and saw blonde hair and murky green orbs staring back at him.
"Hello Riku." Said the stranger, who had his hand around Riku's neck, while the other one was lazily placed next to the silver-haired boy's head. "Do you remember me?"
Riku gasped, finding it hard to breath under the man's harsh grip. He stared at the man, and his eyes widened… "…Lance…"
"That's right, Riku… I've missed you so much…" Lance leaned down and inhaled the scent of Riku's hair. "…It wasn't fair to leave me like that… You realized that I'd come after you, didn't you?"
Riku tried to take the older man's hand away from his throat, but failed miserably.
"What is it, Riku? Can't breathe?" Chuckled Lance, who tightened his grip, "This is what you do to me everytime I see you… Isn't it a nice feeling? So… thrilling…"
Eventually, the blonde man let go off Riku, and the said one collapsed on the floor, gasping for air. He gave quick glances towards Lance, who tried to pierce him with his glare. The silver-haired boy shivered, as he stood up.
Lance was a lunatic, and that wasn't even a secret. He just loved to torture peoples… It gave him some kind of satisfaction to see others in pain. All his little twisted life included was alcohol, drugs and sex… And of course, molesting Riku.
"Where… Where's Zack!" Riku tried to run to the door, but strong hand grabbed him from his waist, and slammed back against the wall.
"Zack? You don't need Zack… Since you have me." Said the crazy man slyly, as he touched Riku's lips with his fingertips. "Ahh… How long have I waited for this moment? I finally get my revenge… Since no one dumps me… No one Riku, do you understand? NO ONE!"
Riku gritted his teeth, as he received a firm slap to his cheek. But after that, he couldn't do anything else but laugh, "That's pitiful Lance… A bitchslap. Grow up, you can't get everything you want!"
Lance narrowed his green eyes warningly, as he balled his fists around Riku's collar.
"You wanna see your boyfriend? Very well then…" He said with sinister tone. Riku shivered, from the pure evilness, which literally poured from the blonde man. "Bring him in."
Riku slowly turned his eyes to look towards the door. Two men walked in, dragging a black-haired man after them. Riku's eyes widened, "ZACK!"
An evil grin spread to Lance's lips, as he pinned Riku on the wall. Riku gave a furious glare to the blonde, preparing his fists to punch him and hard. "What did you do to him! What!"
"Do you really wanna know?"
Riku grew quiet. The sight of his unconscious boyfriend made him grit his teeth loudly. He looked up at the man who kept smirking like an idiot. Riku couldn't control his movements anymore, and he shoved the man away from him and started tried to go to his boyfriend, but a hard kick to his stomach made him freeze and fall on the floor, groaning in pain.
"Don't try anything stupid boy." One of Zack's draggers said, a lunatic smirk, similar to Lance's, grew to his lips too.
"Let… Zack… Go…"
"Sorry. That I can't do… Until I've had had some fun" Lance laughed evilly, "Math… Where's my package?"
One of the men handed a black bag to Lance, which opened it, smiling arrogantly. Riku stood up slowly, holding his aching stomach. He started to approach his boyfriend once again, but this time he was hit on his back, and he fell right back down. All he could do was watch, and hope that the black-haired man would open his eyes soon, and realize what was going on.
"Tie him on a chair." Lance ordered, his back facing Riku and the others. The two men grabbed Riku from shoulders and shoved him to an armchair. All of the kicks and punches were in vain- Riku just wasn't strong enough to escape from these lunatics.
The two men tied Riku's hands behind the armchair back with strong tape. He tried to tear the tie away, but it only caused his arms to hurt even more.
"Now… Let the fun begin."
Lance turned around. He had white gloves in his hands, and he held a package, which had different kind of knives. Riku's eyes widened and when he was about to scream, he was gagged with same tape he had around his wrists.
The two men lifted Zack from the floor, and tied him to another chair, right in front of his eyes, taping his mouth shut too.
"Now, make sure that Riku watches and enjoys the show…" Lance said, as he started to approach Zack with his knives.
The black-haired man mumbled, and blinked his eyes open. He looked around, first too confused to understand anything, but soon it all came clear to him- he was tied on a chair, a blonde man approaching him with knives, Riku tied on a chair in front of him.
Riku tried to scream, but only managed to let out a faint muffled sound from behind the tape. He fought against the ties, which kept him locked on the chair, but they just didn't broke. All he could do was watch as Lance took the sharpest and smallest dagger he could find from his collection.
The horror was written all over Zack's face, as the cold metal was pressed against his skin. First it just touched, not leaving any trace nor a wound.
Riku tried to close his eyes, but the two men noticed this, and grabbed his head, keeping it focused on his boyfriend, opening Riku's eyes with force. The silver-haired man couldn't even blink, as those two had a painful grip on his eyelids.
"Now, Riku… Watch as I'll peel and skin your boyfriend…"
Lance struck the blade into Zack's arm, starting to move it deeper and deeper. Zack kept his expression calm. He looked at Riku, who had tears running down his cheeks, while his eyes were forced to be open.
But soon Zack had to grimace, as Lance started to cut his skin with the knife under his skin in a horizontal line. Blood poured down on the floor from his wrist.
"Hah… Take that tape away from his mouth… I just want to hear him screaming…" Lance ordered, and stopped his work, leaving the knife into Zack's skin.
The tape from Riku's mouth were removed, and in that instant, horrible screams and helpless cries filled the night air, as he watched as his lover was slowly and painfully dying in front of him.
(End of Flashback)
Riku ended his story, and looked up at Cloud, who looked like he'd throw up every moment know.
"…He was tortured to death in front of my eyes."
Cloud gasped in disbelief, as he covered his mouth with his hand. The story was just too horrible to be true. How could someone do such a thing? The blonde looked at Riku, who just kept his eyes fixed out of the window.
"Why you never said anything? That's… gross! And I've never even heard about this 'Zack' before now… Nor I've heard about Lance." Said Cloud, who had hard time keeping his contents inside.
"I never wanted to talk about it." Riku stated simply. "After that night, Lance was sent to prison for the rest of his life, along with his friends. About Zack… I… I just couldn't… I didn't even want to remember."
"I… I understand." Cloud said, nearing the tears. "But you should have talked about it to someone! It's not wise to keep it all to yourself! You'll… Oh my god… Now I know why you were away so long few years ago. It was because of this, wasn't it?"
Riku nodded. "I wanted to clear my thoughts out. And I had Zexion who I could talk to. He always listened when I felt like talking about it, but then again, he never forced me to speak. Thanks to him, I don't have big traumas from that night… Expect for a slight insomnia every now and then…"
A tear rolled down Cloud's cheek, and he jumped up from his chair. He walked to Riku and tied arms around him, hugging him in friendly manner.
"Oh Riku! You could have told everything to me! I could have listened and I could have tried to help you and-"
"Shush… You're waking Sora up." Riku said pointing Sora with his finger. But this was mostly an excuse the drop the topic. He never really wanted to talk about Zack's death. He still could see those horrible images in his head, and hear Lance's maniac laughing. And the worst thing was that that it was all a real thing.
"I understand it all clearly now."
Riku turned his head towards Cloud, who kept his head bowed down. "I understand why you can't look at Sora right now."
"?"
"You're afraid that Sora'll have to go through the things Zack had to." Cloud informed, looking Riku from the corner of his eye. "Am I right Riku?"
"You may be." Riku said. Then he stood properly up, and walked away from the window, towards Sora's bed. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his cheek, before circulating the bed, and walking towards the door. He didn't even stop to bid a farewell, but he just calmly walked away.
Cloud walked to the window, and after a while he saw Riku walking away from the hospital. The rising sun in the horizon made Riku's hair sparkle, as his back slowly faded away into the dusky dawn.
I understand now… That's why… You're afraid…
CC: That Riku's ex-boyfriend, which killed Zack is OC, by the way. In fact, he's character from one of my comic… He's not that crazy in it though… Oh, and I stopped that torturing stuff, because I thought it was kinda rough to T-rated story. Oh, and the case you wondered, I just had to add that Riku's past thingy, because I hope it helps you to understand him and his poor decision little better.
Riku: Can't believe you just wrote that.
CC: Me neither.
Sora:blergh:
CC: Review, please. And thanks to you reviewers! I just can't help but love you all! (Btw. Riku's flashback from his past was kind of crappy, cause I'm really tired, but I wanted to post this chapter today!) Thank you for reading!
