Ohmygooosshhh. ;; This took SO long to get on here.

"Yo, Sora!" Riku yelled from across the pool, waving his hand so Sora could see.
"What, Riku?" Sora asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice. He wanted to keep playing with his float toy.
Just then, an unknown figure came behind the brunette and completely dunked him. Sora spluttered, getting water up his nose. Ugh. That was the worst feeling in the whole freaking universe.
Riku swam over, smirking. That was hilarious, at least to him. "Hey, Sora…" he said, trying to stifle a laugh. "You, ha, okay?"
Sora came back up, pouting. "No. Why are you laughing?"
"Lemme tell you, Sora. It's a little thing called schadenfreude."
"Schwhat?"
"Schadenfreude!"
"Okay, so. What does that have to do with you laughing at me?" Sora asked. If people could use emoticons in everyday conversation, this teen would most definitely have the "D:" smiley going on.
"Schadenfreude is happiness at the misfortune of others," Riku replied cheerfully, slinging an arm around Sora's bare shoulder.
"That's not very nice."
"I didn't say it was nice, you know. But everyone does it sometimes!" Riku replied, grinning.
"I don't."
"Oh no?"
"Nope."
"Ha!" Riku said, giving Sora a shove.
"Hey!"
Riku smirked. "Feelin' crappy yet?" he asked, placing his arms behind his back.
"Yes," Sora replied, crossing his arms.
"Great!" Riku said, laughing a bit. "It makes me feel all cozy seeing you like that."
"Schadenfreude, eh? It's a Nazi word, isn't it!"
"Psh. Sora. Nazi isn't a language," Riku replied, shaking his silvery hair out of his face.
Sora pouted, pushing Riku back. "Well! That made me feel good!"
"It's like being on an elevator when somebody shouts HOLD THE DOOR!"
Sora laughed. "NO!"
"Fuck you lady, that's what stairs are for!" Riku said, smiling.
At this, he earned glares from mothers who brough their children to a friendly day at the pool.
"You know, the world needs people like you and me, who've been knocked around by fate."
"When people see us, they don't wanna be us, and that makes them feel great!"
"It's schaaaadenfreude!" They sang in unison, earning odd looks from the other people in the pool.
"S-C-H-A-D-E-N-F-R-E-U-D-E!" Riku said, finishing and laughing.
"Oh. So that's how you spell it?" Sora asked. Sora, being Sora, would have no idea how to spell these long words Riku used in everyday conversation.
Riku sighed and nodded.
"…wait. Riku?"
"Yessss, Sora, dear?" Riku asked, smiling.
"That was a song from some crappy broadway musical, wasn't it?"
"It might've been.." Riku said, smirking.
"And you get mad at me for singing about racism!"
"Hey, I can't help it."
"Oh, well you can totally help this," Sora said, pouncing on Riku and bringing him under.
The mothers looked at what just happened. "OH DEAR LORD. ARE THEY GAY!" they all yelled in amazing unison.
