"Okay you want to know the problem. I'm gay and in love with Sora"
Kairi had to bite her lip to keep from laughing. She knew what was going on and knew perfectly well Tidus was not in love with Sora. Though she thought it would be unwise to tell that to Tidus. Instead she took a different approach.
"Why Sora?"
He started pacing again mumbling to himself. Kairi waited patiently.
"Well the other day, when he fell on top of me I realized I liked it. A lot. And I don't think you're suppose to get a bonner everytime your friend falls on you, or have some very detailed metal images of them everytime you see them walking down the hall, or lick their lips, or breathe!"
Kairi let a small giggle escape her lips, but got it under control when Tidus glared at her.
"Tidus sounds more like you're in lust rather than love. Look just hear me out. Could it be that maybe, just maybe, since Sora was the one to make you realize you like boys, unintentionally of course. That you think you're in love with him, because he's the first guy you've seen that way"
Tidus thought for a moment. Kairi was right Sora was the first guy he had been attracted to, in fact the only boy. Though in a way she was also wrong, Sora was the first one he had admitted to himself he was attracted to, he could remember a couple other people who he had felt an attraction towards, but never actually admitted it to himself. In fact the whole Sora thing did sound more like lust than love. Though it didn't change the fact he felt something for him. Though now it was nice to know Sora wasn't the only one who was able to invade his head. Thanks to Sora, now he could admit at least to himself, he liked guys. He sat back on the bed.
"I think you're right, but I still like him"
Kairi nodded.
"All I'm saying is think before you act, be really sure what you feel before doing anything that might jeopardize your friendship"
Tidus nodded. He looked at Kairi with a little doubt and fear in his eyes.
"Kairi Could you not tell anyone? I'm kind of just getting used to the idea"
Kairi smiled, not really seeing why he wanted to keep it a secret. Everyone knew Sora was gay and they had been pretty accepting, but she had made a promise.
"I won't tell Tidus, I made you a promise remember. I won't break it"
Tidus smiled and hugged his friend kissing her on the cheek.
"Thanks Kairi you're the best. When I'm ready I'll tell everyone, I just need a little time to adjust to this myself."
She nodded and looked over Tidus's shouldre to the clock hanging on her wall. She gasped and pushed Tidus of off her and shot out of bed.
"Tidus school already started get out so I can change!"
Tidus grinned and scratched the back of his head.
"Err sorry I'll wait for you downstairs."
Sora was walking down the hall going to his science class, with a book hanging from his hand, when he spotted a very angry looking Kairi just up ahead. Making her way down the opposite direction he was walking in. He looked on amused as she shoved, pushed and tripped people out of her way, she almost elbowed Sora but he caught her arm. She turned and glared at him.
"What are you doing?"
Kairi asked glaring at Sora's hand on her arm. Sora took in the sight of his friend, her hair was messy her clothing didn't match and she wasn't wearing any make up like she usually did.
"Hello to you too. Haven't seen you all day. Man you look like you just got out of bed."
Big mistake Sora thought as Kairi shot him a nasty glared and snatched her arm from his grip. She didn't bother to answer him and stormed off, mumbling something about hurting Tidus very badly.
Sora turned to watch her go feeling very confused.
"What was that all about?"
He asked himself while taking a few steps backwards successfully bumping into someone.
"Oh sorry."
He said turning and immediately scowling at the boy in front of him. The other boy made no sign of even the slightest emotion. He looked down at Sora.
"Sora. Just the person I wanted to see."
Sora frowned narrowing his eyes.
"What do you want Squall?"
A tiny glint of a smirk appeared on his face at hearing the venom in Sora's voice. Squall was glad the boy didn't hide his dislike for him, like most people would. He was so sick and tired of people liking him or pretend to like him just because, his ancestors had founded the fucking town and practically had owned it, going so far as to call it Leonharts Valley, he was just happy the name had been changed to Hearts Vale fifty years ago. Sora was definitely one offew people who didn't suck up to him due to the influence and power his family still had.
"We're casting a little earlier this year."
He answered and stopped. Sora really hated the guy. Was that all he was going to say? Sora wasn't a mind reader, he crossed his arms, his book hanging loosely in his hand, thinking the guys lack of social skills were amazing.
"Why is that?"
"We're doing an original play, never been performed before. We want everyone to be fully prepared and well rehearsed."
Sora looked unimpressed
"Who says I'm going to addition?"
This time Squall really did smile or as much as Squall Leaonhart would allow himself to smile. Sora was always such a breath of fresh air compared to the suck ups.
"I want to cast you as lead. There's no one better suited for the part."
Sora was a little surprised at the compliment and a bit unnerved by the smile. He recovered quickly though.
"How do you know I'm perfect for the part? I thought it was an original play."
"It is and I wrote it."
Sora was now confused and angry. Squall had written a play, the school was allowing him to perform it and he wanted Sora to play the lead character. He didn't know whether to be flattered or angry, at the fact Squall always seemed to get his way. He decided he wanted to be angry, normally he would have loved tobe thelead but there was a little thing nagging at him called pride. That just wouldn't allow him to accept Squalls offer.
"Well thanks for the offer, but I think I'll pass."
"Yes Professor I promise it won't happen again."
Sora turned his head, hearing Tidus's voice mumbling loudly from a door down the hall. Said boy burst out from the room, running away as if he had just had an encounter with a pack of hungry wolfs. Unfortunately for Tidus today was not his day and he ran right into the object of his current lust.
This time however instead of taking Sora down with him he went down with Sora landing on top of the boy. Tidus gasped as he fell on Sora. Not again!Tidus thought. He laid there having successfully knocked all the air from Soras's lungs, he started at the boy beneath him and thought he looked perfect there. With startle realization of where his thoughts were heading he pushed of the floor scrambling quickly backwards only to fall back down on his butt.
"I'm sorry Sora."
He said looking away reaching for the book he had dropped. Sora stood up rubbing his butt. Having retrieved his book Tidus was in the process of getting up as well , when a hand was thrusted in front of his face. He looked questionably at the hand and let his gaze travel up to the owner. In his haste he hadn't even noticed the person next to Sora. He started for a few second into the stormy eyes of Squall and felt something in his stomach stir. He grabbed the hand letting Squall pull him up, in the process Squall pulling a bit too hard bringing Tidus very close to him. Close enough, he could see every inch of perfect porcelain like skin, except for that scar, but even that suited him quite well.
"Thanks."
Tidus said nervously taking his hand back, he turned to Sora and blushed. Before Sora could say anything to him he walked away mumbling.
"I gotta go."
Sora wondered why his friends were acting so strange first; Kairi now Tidus who was next Riku, he hoped not. He bent down picking up the book he had dropped when Tidus had knocked him down. Straightening back up, he turned to Squall and frowned seeing Squall looking at Tidus very oddly. Not taking his eyes of him, almost as if he was eating him with his stare, he followed Tidus's movements until he disappeared into another corridor.
"Nice, very nice."
Squall whispered smirking, still looking at the direction where Tidus had gone in. Sora glared at Squall and felt the need to protect Tidus from him.
"He's not gay Leonhart."
Sora said harshly knowing what squall was thinking. Squall turned to Sora arching an elegant brow.
"Really? I would have thought other wise with the way he looked at you"
Sora gaped opened mouth at Squall. Tidus didn't look at him in any way. Now Sora was even more angry. He turned and started walking away. Squall grabbed him by the arm, not hard enough to hurt him but a gently grip just enough to get his attention.
"What about the play?"
Sora yanked his arm back and glared up a Squall.
"I already told you I'm not interested!"
Squall thought he might have gone a bit far with that last comment, but it wasn't his fault people couldn't see what was in front of them.
"Why don't you make up your mind after you read the play"
He said offering a booklet to Sora. Sora looked at it with some disgust and shook his head and before he could speak Squall cut him off
"Sora I'm only asking you to read it nothing more... please."
Sora blinked. Squall Leonhart?. Squall Leon-ice-prince-Hart-less had just said please to him. Sora sighed and thought that if Squall could put his pride aside than so could he. Taking the booklet non too gently from Squall hands he said.
"Fine I'll read it, but I'm not making any promises."
Squall nodded feeling relived, Sora was at least agreeing to read the play.
"That's all I ask."
Sora was in his room just having finished his homework. He was starring at the booklet squall had given to him, he hadn't opened it yet and was having a serious mental battle whether to actually read it or not. Squall hadn't even given it a title.
He had his radio playing softly on the background and was moving his head to the beat of the current song. He shrugged moving towards the booklet.
"Oh, what the hell."
He said snatching up the booklet which had been sitting on his desk. He flopped down on a black bean bag and started reading the play. Which he noticed did have a title on the inside of the first page. Kingdom Hearts.
A few pages into the play and Sora had his eyes glued to the pages and couldn't wait to turn the next page. He couldn't believe Squall was able to write and describe so much emotion. He was into the fourth act when he closed the play, his eyes wide in amazement.
"Wow!"
He couldn't believe the school had agreed to the play it was good there absolutely no doubt about it, but some might call it controversial. Sora stood up booklet in hand, he needed more light. He switched his lamp light on as well as the ceiling light. He placed the booklet down on his night stand and moved to the window facing his backyard. It was dark and windy, it looked like a storm was brewing. Sora saw lightning and moved away from the window. He hated storms.
He was about to pick up the play again, when he heard a noise outside his window. He turned and a second later Riku jumped into his room. Sora smiled at him.
"Hey!"
"Hey."
Sora said. Riku saw the booklet Sora had just picked up and pointed.
"What's that? Rehearsing for a play with out me?"
Riku said with mock hurt. Sora shook his head.
"Not rehearsing, reading. Reading the first play of the year, which by the way is an original piece written by none other than Squall Leonhart."
Riku walked up to Sora taking the booklet from his hand. He leafed through the play not really reading it. Sora moved to his stereo turning the music up.
"Is it any good?"
Riku asked closing the play, placing it back on Sora's night table. Sora turned to Riku satisfied with the volume of the music and had to raise his voice a bit for Riku to hear him.
"Well it's very intriguing and that's putting it very lightly. So how was practice?"
Sora asked changing the subject, turning back to the stereo changing the station. Riku now remembered he hadn't told Sora about being made captain.
"Brutal as always. Though yesterday I got made captain."
Sora stopped his search hearing something familiar. When he heard Riku he turned to him and smiled brightly. Riku had made captain that was great news.
"Really? That's awesome way to go Riku."
Sora said moving forwards towards his friend hugging him, around the neck. Riku had not expected the hug but welcomed it happily wrapping his arms around Sora's waist.
When we are older you'll understand it's enough when I say so and maybe some things are that simple
Sora recognized the song playing and smiled. He looked up at Riku but did not take his arms away from his neck.
"I love this song. I've never heard it as a ballad though."
He said listening to the soft melody comparing it to the more up-beat version and decided he liked them both equally. He looked up at Riku and smiled.
"Dance with me Riku."
Riku made a chocking sound, but didn't pull away as Sora began a three step waltz around his room. Looking deeply into Riku's eyes feeling very safe and comfortable. He smiled and on impulse he stepped closer to Riku and rested his head on his shoulder, closing his eyes listening to the song.
When you walk away / you don't hear me say please / oh baby don't go / simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight / it's hard to let it go.
Hold me / whatever lies beyond this morning / is a little later on / regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all / nothings like before.
Riku listened to the lyrics and thought they were beautiful and gave hope for a brighter tomorrow. He held Sora a little closer dancing slowly through his room.
Sora on the other hand had not heard the rest of the lyrics. His eyes had snapped opened the second he heard the chorus and was stuck on those lyrics. He shut his eyes tightly again as the chorus started again bringing back, all the feeling he had managed to block out a few weeks ago. They came rushing back with every word she sang.
When you walk away / you don't hear me say please / oh baby don't go
He had remembered his nightmare and all the feelings that came with it. Riku leaving him, he didn't want Riku to go. With out warning he felt hot tears gathering behind his closed eyes lids. He opened his eyes not able to hold the sting of his tears, when he did his tears fell down from his eyes like small waterfalls, they flowed freely down his cheeks onto Riku's shirt.
Riku noticed the slight changed in his friend and frowned. Sora was holding him very tightly. He heard him sniff and mumble.
"Don't go Riku please."
Riku froze. He stopped moving, he felt something warm and moist on his shoulder and realized with fear Sora was crying. The last time Sora had cried in front of him was when he had been twelve. Riku held Sora tightly hearing him sob with so much pain. Riku gulped and closed his eyes wishing to know why Sora was crying.
"Riku don't go."
Riku frowned hearing Sora repeat the same phrase again. He pulled away from Sora which was not easy since Sora refused to loosen his grip around Riku's neck too much. Riku managed to get enough space to look down at Sora. His heart broke into a million pieced as he saw Sora's eyes red and puffy and his cheeks wet with tears that had cooled and were now cold on his face. He had to fight not to start crying too.
"Sora I'm not going anywhere. I'll always be here for you. Always no matter what."
Riku said bring both hands up to wipe Sora's tears away. When he had done so he returned to holding Sora by the waist. Sora was looking up at Riku with so much trust and doubt.
"Do you promise? Promise me Riku you'll never forget me. Please promise me."
Riku looked at Sora and for the first time allowed the other boy to see everything he felt for him. In return Sora showed an emotion he didn't even know he had for Riku. Though with all mix of emotion he was feeling it got mixed and tangled and became undistinguishable .
Riku saw all the fear and doubt as well as trust and something else in Sora's eyes and just wanted all the fear and doubt to vanish. Letting his emotions guide him he answered truthfully.
"Oh God yes. I promise you with all my heart I will never leave you and I will never forget you Sora."
He tightened his grip on Sora's waist bring them closer together. Being caught up in his emotions Riku did the thing he had longed to do for a long while now. He leaned down closing his eyes kissing Sora's closed lips. Just a sweet touching of lips. Sora felt a little bolt of electricity coursing through out his entire body, setting him on fire. Sora's eyes went wide with surprise, he had not been expecting, the kiss. Though he quickly realized, he liked Riku's lips on his.
Riku wasn't pressuring Sora into kissing him back, he was merely enjoying the feel of Sora's soft lips over his own. When he felt Sora not responding he started to pull away only to feel Sora pulling his head back down again. Kissing him back.
Riku thought the world could stop an explosion could go off and could care less. Sora was kissing him back. He smiled into the kiss. Feeling Soraresponding he brought his tongue into play licking Sora's bottom lip tasting the salty residue left by Sora's tears. Sora shivered and he opened his lips wanting to taste Riku's lips as well. He traced Riku's bottom lip and gasped when he was met with Riku's tongue. The taste was intoxicating, foreign sweet and delicious. A taste they both needed more of. Riku tangled one hand in Sora's hair. While Sora kept wanting to pull Riku even closer. As both boys plunged into each others mouth's exploring new territory. Their tongues coming together shyly at first then more daring and fast paced. They were pressed together tightly hip to hip, chest to chest, lips to lips. Fighting a heated never ending battle of need for one another.
Hold me / whatever lies beyond this morning / is a little later on / regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all / nothings like before.
