Place?
Time?
For the next three days Sora and Riku's lives where filled with fun, laughter, and uncontrollable blushing. School was a bit difficult for Sora how ever. The city of Seresity, where he lived, was not a very conservative area. Most people gave Sora enthusiastic encouragement. By which I mean "large groups of girls would swarm him and ask him what it's like to kiss Riku, and ask permission to take photos."
There where; of course, a few homophobes that went to Destiny High. But if any of them made any derogatory comments towards Sora and Riku's relationship they would be quick to find them selves on the wrong side of the railing on the roof of the school.
On Thursday Riku had promised Sora that he would take him somewhere special on Saturday. Sora; being the impatient little imp he was, would constantly bug Riku and try to find out where Riku was going to take him.
Place: Riku's Car
Time: 9:23 AM
"C'mon Riku please tell me where were going." Sora pleaded as he sat in the passenger side of Riku's silver Mercedes-Benz SLR McLraren '03. He was wearing semi-tight faded jeans, a plain black t-shirt, and silver crown necklace. Riku was wearing tight blue jeans and a tight grey tank top.
Riku kept his eyes on the road. "Sora you've waited all week, you can wait two more hours."
"Please please tell me." Sora bounced up and down. "If you tell me I'll give you a free gift."
Riku rolled his eyes and laughed. "Sora, ALL gifts are free."
"Fine." Sora made his trademark pouty face.
One hour later.
"Almost there Sora." Riku had his hands over Sora's eyes and was helping him maneuver right to where Riku wanted him. When he was in the right position he took his hands off of Sora's eyes.
Sora gasped when he saw where Riku had taken him, they where now on the island of Xuchelbara, and they where now in front of one of the islands most beautiful ruins.
The ruins they where in front of them where actually pretty new compared to the rest of the island. Xuchelbara was filled with tons of ancient ruins, and temples, most of them dating back before 100 B.C. But the one they where looking at was built in the 1600's, and it was beautiful.
It was a large castle like structure, with a once beautiful court yard that was now overrun by vines and weeds. But in Sora's eye's it was sill beautiful. They ruins weren't as ruined as one would expect, for a large majority of them where still intact. Why they where considered ruins is still a mystery.
"Wow." Sora was in awe.
"I knew you'd like it." He pulled Sora close to him and kissed him deeply. Sora's face turned a comically bright shade red. Riku broke the kiss and looked into Sora's sapphire like eyes.
"So why are we here?" Sora tried to keep Riku from commenting on his blushing.
"Where not staying here for long, but well be back later." Riku turned Sora around.
Sora saw a large building he hadn't noticed before, it looked as it was from the same time period as the castle, but it wasn't covered in vines. Riku opened the doors of the building and Sora was once again in awe.
It was a ball room in its own separate building; the room had been restored and had clean black floor tiles. The windows where are crystal clear, and there where beautiful satin drapes hanging from the high ceiling.
"This property belongs to a good friend of mine, and later he's gonna have a huge party here." Riku closed the door and grabbed Sora's hand as he began to walk back to the car. Riku opened Sora's door for him and he blushed. "You're so cute Sora." Sora stuck out his tongue. "Awe is Sowa mad at me." Sora tried to act mad but he couldn't help but laugh.
Another hour later
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Sora bounced up and down as he and Riku stood on the south end of the Amerosia boardwalk. The board walk was so massive that it was actually considered to be the Disney World of boardwalks. There where ten different piers starched over an 20 mile long boardwalk. Luckily the board walk had an extremely efficient monorail system. The board walk was 100 feet wide and there where stores and even malls on either side. Sora spotted a food stand selling hot dogs; he grabbed Riku's hand and ran towered it. He ordered a hot dog with ketchup and Riku paid for it before Sora even had a chance to pull out his wallet.
"Ummm…Thanks" Sora thanked him sheepishly. Then he turned two his hot dog and ate it in two bites.
Riku stared in astonishment. "Now if only I could get you to do that to me."
Sora looked at him curiously. "Do what to you?"
"Never mind." Riku laughed, and took Sora's hand into his own. Sora blushed and began to feel slightly self conscious.
Riku himself was not very interested in many rides, other than roller coaster. He was only able to convince Sora to go on two of them with him. Sora went on a Plethora of rides, and he drug Riku along with him. They went on the bumper cars, the sea dragon, and Riku's favorite, the music express.
After three hours at the boardwalk the couple came across one of the malls and decided to go inside. Once inside Sora was automatically attracted a shirt that had a design that the same as the pendant on his necklace made out of red gems, and nest to it there was a pair of pants with a similar design on the right pant leg made out of red lace. Sora took one look at the price tag and was automatically disheartened, $100 for the shirt $200 for the pants. "Awww."
Riku smiled and took the shirt and pants off their display shelf. "I'll get them for you."
"Hey don't." Riku was already at the cash register paying for the outfit. Riku came back five minutes later and handed Sora the bag with the clothes. "We don't even know if they fit." Sora said quietly.
"The go put them on." Riku said as he pushed Sora into a dressing room.
Four minutes later Sora came out wearing the garments, they where all the right length, but the shirt was slightly tight for Sora's liking. Riku hugged Sora and looked into his eyes.
Sora looked down and pressed his blushing cheek onto Riku's chest. "You shouldn't have bought those for me, they where too expensive."
"Don't worry about it." Riku caressed the back of Sora's head. "Nothings too good, or too expensive for you."
"But I can't buy you anything nice."
"You don't need to but me anything; I just like seeing you happy."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Thank you Riku, for everything." Sora broke the hug, but still held Riku's hand.
"Your welcome." Riku drew small circles on Sora's hand with his thumb.
"I'll get you anything you want, as long as it makes you happy."
Riku drug Sora to the upper floor of the mall. They found a store where you could design your own glass statuette on a computer program. Sora distracted Riku by dragging him into a crowded arcade, and getting him to compete in a Tekken fight. Riku was almost never able to turn down a challenge so Sora knew that he would be able to disappear for at least ten minutes.
When Riku wasn't paying attention, Sora went over to the store and began to design his statuette. Sora was very talented at using the Computer Graphics program that the computer had, and did not need any help from any one. Sora went up to the cashier and gave her the address of where he wanted it shipped; Riku's house. She said it would be their within two weeks, but for all she knew it could be there tomorrow. Sora gave the lady the $90.00 for the statuette, and raced back to the arcade.
Sora hoped that Riku didn't notice that all of Sora's money was gone.
Riku had just beaten some random guy at Tekken, and was gloating. "Where did you go?"
Sora froze. "Uhhh…..The bathroom."
Riku walked out of the loud arcade with Sora, and then he turned around and looked at Sora. "Where were you, I couldn't hear you in there."
"The bath room."
"Ohhh….okay." Riku walked with Sora up to the third floor of the mall.
There they found an I-pod store, which Riku was automatically attracted to. He went over the cashier counter which had a large glass display of the newer model of the Nano I-pods. "You always wanted an I-pod." Riku smirked at Sora who was currently wearing a curious expression.
"Riiikkuuu." Sora closed his eye's and shook his head. "Don't even think about it."
"Thank you sir, and heres you receipt." Said the cashier cheerily.
"I didn't think." Riku said handing Sora the bag holding the I-pod.
Sora tried to act mad but he couldn't., he ended up smiling instead. "Thanks again Riku." Sora said accepting the gift.
(Explanation of where Riku's money comes from.)
Seven years ago, in 1999, Riku's mother, Nina, had just become a nurse at a very prestigious hospital. At around the same time a wealthy business woman by the name of Serlina Croft fell in with an odd disease. The 38 year old woman had no brothers or sisters. At one time she had a Husband and kids, but they had all died in a horrible crash.
Ever since the loss of her family, Serlina had become very bitter. She had no friend, and those who knew her personally where glad she was dying.
Nina's mother had finished her shift and was about to go home when she heard crying coming from Serlina's room. She asked Serlina what was wrong. Teary eyed and shaking, Serlina told Nina her story. Nina listened to every detail of the story. She told Nina that she regretted her bitterness, and that she wished she could change it, Nina told her she already had.
For the next two months Nina would go to Serlina's room after her shift was over. The two would chat, laugh, and tell each other of good events in their past. Any one who didn't know what the true situation was would think that the two of them where best friends who have known one another for years.
Sadly, however, Serlina died in September of that year. A day after her death Nina received a letter inviting her to the funeral.
Nina went to the chapel alone. She was sad to find that she was the only one to attend the funeral, and disheartened to find that Serlina had to plan her own funeral.
Three day later Nina was contacted by a lawyer. She went down to his office, afraid that she was in some sort of trouble. It turns out that the Serlina had included Nina in her will, actually beside one other person; Nina was the only one in the will. The other person got Serlina's business, and that was all.
Nina received all of her other belongings. Her mansion, her cars, her jewels, and all her money. Millions of dollars. Even though Nina and her family where rich, Nina chose to stay a nurse.
