Sora lay in his bed. Riku stood over him with thought in his head. What would happen now that lust triggers the mark's growth? He sat down in a chair, his thought circling around one idea only, Would it turn him away from his true heart? Or will he keep his true heart but be controlled by a fake one? By darkness. He shook his head. Sora wouldn't allow himself to be controlled by darkness. He knew he wouldn't. But what if the darkness was more powerful than Sora? His heart was very strong but there is always a chance that darkness could take over. He sighed and shook his head. He wouldn't believe it. He looked over at the bed and watched Sora's chest rise and fall in a slow steady rhythm. It was then that Riku decided he wouldn't tell Sora his suspicions. He didn't want to make Sora sad. It was something he would have to discover on his own. Until then, Riku wouldn't try anything no matter how much he wanted to.
Sora lifted his head and saw Riku sitting in a chair by his bed. He looked at the older boy who had fallen asleep. He smiled slightly and got up. He took his blanket and threw it over Riku careful not to wake him. He didn't know what had happened but he would figure it out once he thought about. He walked out and went to the kitchen where his papers lay there neglected. He picked them up and turned to the next space and picked up his pencil. He wrote what he remembered and set it down. He read it over and began to think. He was miserable that time so how could the mark have activated? Then a thought hit him. Lust. That was it. It had to be. Sora's face showed sadness that even he couldn't hide from anyone. He buried his face in his hands and sat like that for a while. Finally, he got up and walked over to the window. How would he handle this? This was the worst thing that could happen. Riku was over and now he had to keep from doing anything with him? He didn't know how he would get through it. He would have to though.
Leon stood up when he heard his phone ring. He walked over to it and picked it up lazily. "Hello?" he asked. "Hey, listen. There's something I need to talk to you about." Said a voice on the other line. "Riku? What about?" he asked. "It's Sora." Riku said. "Humph, Riku, you need to get over him. You cheated on him. He had a right to leave you. So stop obsessing over him." Leon said. "No, no! It's not that! It's the mark! It has appeared again." Riku told. Leon's eyes narrowed at the news. "The mark? How?" he asked. "I don't know. That's what I want to figure out." Riku replied. Leon sighed, irritation in his voice. "Fine, I'll be over right away. Sora's house I presume since he wouldn't ever go to your house after what happened." Leon said. "Humph." Was all he got as an answer. Leon smirked with a small laugh and hung up. He grabbed his keys and was out the door in minutes.
Riku answered the door since Sora was deep in thought at the table. Riku had guessed that Sora had figured out what triggered the growth of the mark and was trying to figure out how to stop it. Leon walked in grumpily with a slight glare at Riku. Riku pretended not to notice it and shut the door. "So what triggers the growth this time?" Leon asked. "How do you know something different triggers the growth?" he asked. "Well, I put two and two together. It appeared for a different cause this time so I figured it would be triggered by something different." Leon said as he walked into the kitchen. Sora glanced up and gave a quick smile before turning his attention back to his papers. Leon walked over to Sora's left side and rolled up the sleeve to look at the mark. "Lust right?" he asked. Riku shook his head yes. Leon stood up from his crouching position and looked over at Riku with a raised eyebrow. Riku only looked at him with glazed over eyes. Leon's eyes narrowed as he watched Riku start to sway. He ran to his side and caught him as he fell. Leon furrowed his brow as he caught him. Why was Riku being affected. Sora stood up and raced over to his side with confusion and worry on his face. What was wrong with him?
What cha' think?
