Chapter 2
Lovers Lost
Part 1: Rock Stars on the Train
---Sora---
It was still so sunny outside of the train we were on, I sighed briefly and stopped halfway, Selfie and Tidus had left to stuff themselves at the "feeding" car & Kairi and Wakka were off look for a map of the beach leaving me all alone in here with Riku. Not that I mind really I hadn't talked to him alone in the longest time. I need to talk to him about what had happened the other day…
-----Flashback-----
It was after Kairi's birthday, Riku & me were walking back our homes were right across the street from the other…. The sun was setting and the rain was coming in slowly. We were passing by the park by the pond near my house when Riku asked me to stop by the tree where we had met the first time as kids. We sat down for a while, our backs leaning against the plum tree looking past the soft green leaves that were illuminated by the sun's radiance, touching the blades of grass, the sight of the city from there was beautiful that day, clouds were creeping in from the side. Riku looked off into the skies above, a smile plastered on his lips. He pointed up to the skies, the stars and moon were fading into the darkening sky and the sun's last burst of light remained before us. "Sora, do you ever wonder why the moon and stars always seem to chase after the sun? It seems so futile doesn't it…? They continue the chase after it never ever being able to reach it", He looked so distant at that moment I felt as though I could not reach him at all.
"I never really thought about it… Why do you ask?" I said hesitantly unsure of what to say to that. He turned around to face me, his expression caught me off guard his eyes seemed to be crying but his lips were curved into a smile.
"Just curious is all, really." Riku slowly inched closer to me as his arms wrapped around me holding my head to his chest. I could hear his soft breathing and gentle heartbeats, I remember feeling like I never wanted to leave his arms, at that moment I felt so calm and relaxed like I belonged. "This place means so much to me, this place where we first met, that moment was when I started to live." I could feel his body quivering I had never seen him like that, so vulnerable so sad. "If I had never met you I have no idea what would have become of me. Sora, you mean the world to me…"
"Riku… I--" Before I could say anything he got up and ran away and wouldn't talk to me for a few days
-----End of Flashback ------
So now here we are sitting in our little room on the train and he's just looking out the window sitting across the small table from me. "Hey.. Riku about the other day I just wanted to know… what did you mean by that?" His eyes focused to me from the window and sighed tilting his head towards the ground.
"What I meant was that I-" his answer was cut off by Selfie and Tidus barging through the door cake and various sweets in hand.
"HEY, YOU TWO!" Tidus yelled dropping two plates of caramel apple pie in front of us. Riku looked confused and bewildered and I was pretty sure that I had the same expression as well.
"We thought you two would be hungry because I know we were, so here's dessert ha ha ha ha!" Selfie put in as she dropped a pair of spoons and forks as well as two bowls of chocolate chip ice-cream on the table in front of us. Selfie decided to sit next to me and Tidus sat next to Riku. Both of them were smirking mischievously… seeing Riku give both of them death glares made me laugh inside it seemed so unlike him to do something so "childish" as he would put it.
" You guys 'll never guess who we saw outside!" Tidus and Selfie said in unison.
"You're long lost evil cat that your parents said went on vacation but was really dead and came back from the dead to haunt you?" Riku guessed in a monotonic voice.
"Wrong! What the hell kinda guess was that?" Selfie screeched hitting Riku with a chocolate bar
"Well I dunno who DID you two see anyways?" Riku said rubbing his head where Selfie had hit him with the chocolate bar.
"Sooo….. Spill it who did you two see?" I asked as I ate my caramel apple pie.
"We--", Riku and I stared at them apprehensively, "SAW MARLUXIA AND DEMYX FROM THE ROCK BAND OBLIVION!" they shouted out with stars in their eyes.
"YOU two met up with THOSE two and didn't get autographs!" I screeched balling my fists, how could they not get autographs geez.
"I wonder if Zexion and Axel were with them, we so wanted to get their autographs, Sora, but someone had to find the washroom bad so we couldn't" Selfie piped out glaring at Tidus as she emphasized the word "someone" causing me and Riku to glare at Tidus who was now laughing nervously.
"Hey where are Kairi and Wakka?" I asked Selfie as Riku mockingly strangled Tidus.
"I really don't know I thought that they would be in here by now I guess I was wrong." Selfie replied holding a hand to her lips thoughtfully. I wonder where those two could have gotten to.
--Axel--
Me and Zexion have been wandering around the train for what seems like hours now I guess you could say we're lost…. But it seems kinda sad that we could get lost on such a small train. We were taking a small break when something strange happened, a boy around my age, 17, with blond hair that reminded me of a snow cone, spiking out at different ends came out of his cabin (that's right im calling it cabin now I dunno what its really called)to talk to his two friends. For some reason he looked so familiar but I couldn't quite put my hand on it. Zexion noticed me stareing at him and gave me a slight glare but his expression didn't last very long, I guess he's not really all that interested in such affairs. Zexion motioned for us to keep looking for our cabin so I reluctantly got up and took a last glance at the familiar blond boy as we passed them by.
A few minutes later we had finally found our way to our room which was near the very front or the 24 car train. It doesn't seem like very much but when you have to stop every few seconds every time a fan asks for our autographs then it takes really long. Especially, being the nice guys we are, signed every autograph when asked for one. Zexion seemed to be unfazed by stopping so much but I on the other hand… I was screaming on the inside and I think the fans noticed cause the seemed to shy away from me and ask for Zexion's signature only. We we're finally laying down on the sofas in the room reading magazines well the other four were anyway I was looking though my photo albums to see if there was a reason for that blond kid I saw earlier to look so familiar. After twenty minutes of searching I finally found out why….
