Chapter Six: Love…is Such a Useless Term.
It was fourth period, the last of the day. It also happened to be Riku Tanaka's least favorite class. So, what does one do in this situation?
…No, we don't blow up the school in a disgruntled rage…even though that thought has crossed Riku's mind once or twice, but that's not the point.
He prefers the path that would get him into less trouble, you see? That would only leave one option; skipping. Yeah, so, he still got a detention for skipping, but it was better that getting expelled and a possible police record for blowing up the school.
And, skipping was exactly what the silver haired teenager was doing. And, it was boring. It'd be more interesting if he could talk his brown headed roommate into skipping with him, but the boy was a goody goody. And, the activities Riku had in mind to remedy their boredom were much too risky for such an innocent boy.
Riku checked his watch, raising an eyebrow. Five minutes… He thought to himself, "Now what did Sora say he had for forth period?" He asked himself, tapping his chin as he walked through the halls of his high school, "History, I think." He shrugged, he'd find out one way or another.
He made his way over to the advanced history class and stood by the door, waiting. For what, you ask?
Do you really need to know?
Sora…stupid.
He crossed his arms, leaning against the white wall next to the door.
What?
He couldn't walk his roommate back to their dorm? He was being nice!
Well…not as nice as he wanted to be, but that'd come with time. He was hopeful that it's come in less time than more, but he'd be just as happy if it'd come at all.
What's it, you ask?
This is Riku we're talking about, or didn't you know?
What could a little horndog like Riku be talking about, hm?
Ah, sex…that's right! Good for you!
The last bell rang, causing Riku to jump…but, only slightly. You see, that's what happens when your mind strays into things it shouldn't be straying into in the first place.
"Riku!"
Shock, resentment. Wait a minute…that wasn't Sora.
Riku looked up, blinking, "Roxas?" He said, a smirk forming on his face as he blonde headed boy's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Roxas, you're blocking the door."
Okay, that was Sora.
"Move." Riku said simply, pushing the blonde headed boy aside.
"Don't touch me!" Roxas snapped, glaring harshly, but he stepped aside none the less.
Riku's smirk widened last year, "You didn't complain too much last year." He said.
Sora blinked, merely staring at the two, he decided to intervene when Riku said this, "C'mon, Roxas, why don't you introduce me to your cousin." He said, grabbing the said boy's arm, before he had a chance to act on the thought Sora just knew he was fighting with.
Riku raised an eyebrow as he watched the two walk down the hall, crossing his arms, he shook his head. This wasn't good, not in the least.
--- --- ---
"He's a fucking stalker!" Roxas said, pulling out the key to the dorm he shared with his cousin, "Excuse my language, Sora." He said, grinning apolitically at the said boy.
"No need to, it's true." Sora agreed, "But, that's what I get for telling him my schedule."
"Why'd you tell him that?" Roxas asked, raising an eyebrow in question.
Sora shrugged, "Who else could have shown me around school?" He pointed out.
Roxas nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I suppose you're right. But, why would Aerith be crazy enough to put you in a dorm with Riku?" He asked, shaking his head.
"Well she said that no other dorms were opened at the time." Sora said as Roxas opened the door and beckoned him to follow, "What about blitz ball?" He asked, glancing at the blonde headed boy.
Roxas blinked, checking his watch, "I can stand to miss one practice, besides, Tidus is the captain anyway."
Sora nodded, "Which, I take it, is a good thing?" He asked as Roxas closed the door.
Roxas grinned before laughing softly, "Yeah, it is." He said, before throwing his school things onto the small table they had. Sora guessed it was used for eating and most likely school work, "Well, I can already tell that we're not going to get any of the project done."
Sora laughed, "Yeah." He didn't feel much like working anyway.
"Well, I suppose we can watch a movie!" Roxas said, grinning.
"Works for me!"

"You haven't tried anything, Riku, have you?"
The said boy grinned, leaning back in his chair, "Aerith! What do you take me for?" He asked in a mock hurt voice.
Aerith's eyes narrowed, "You're a horny little teenage boy. That, and I know you." She pointed out.
Riku snorted, "That doesn't mean I'd try anything with Sora." He said.
"Ha! I doubt that!" Aerith said, crossing her arms, "You may think that I'm stupid, but you'll find I have more brains than I show."
"So you say."
Aerith glared, "I'm warning you Riku Tanaka, you hurt Sora…make that any other boy that goes to this school and I will see to it that you get expelled." She snapped.
"That's not fair!" Riku yelled, sitting up a little straighter, "You never did anything to Leon when he did what he did."
"Leon wasn't as nearly as bad as you." Aerith pointed out, "And, I know he hurt you…don't give me that look, Riku!" She said, seeing the disbelieving look on Riku's face, "I know why you do the things you do. But, it'd do you some good to find someone to love, like he did."
"Love…" Riku said, snorting as he sat back, crossing his arms, "…is such useless term."
Aerith sighed heavily, "Maybe, but I have a feeling. And, I've never been wrong before." She said, looking away, "Just take my advice and don't hurt Sora. If you lose him, you'll regret it."
"Who said I wanted him in the first place?" Riku asked, raising an eyebrow.
Aerith smiled, "No one did. But, he's like every other boy that shared a dorm with you. I don't want him to end up like that." She said before laughing, "If he falls for you…I think he'll take it harder than those other boys did."
"Even Roxas?"
Aerith laughed loudly, "He's moved on, you know. He's dating that transfer student that came here last term." She said, a grin on her face.
"Axel?"
"That'd be the one." Aerith said nodding, "But, why would you care?"
Riku snorted, "I don't."
Just then at that moment, the door opened, revealing a grinning Sora, waving good bye two blonde haired boys. He threw his bag on the table before looking up, "Hey, Aerith!" He said, grinning widely.
"I see you've met Roxas and his cousin, Tidus." She said cheerfully.
Sora nodded, "They're a trip!" He said grinning widely, before he noticed Riku, "Hey Riku."
Aerith lifted an eyebrow, glancing at Riku before she shook her head, "Tidus is captain of the blitz ball team, you know."
Riku rolled his eyes, "He's into band, not blitz ball." He said, placing his hands behind his head boredly.
Sora blushed lightly, "Yeah, I'm trying out for the band when tryouts start."
Aerith glanced back at Riku before turning to Sora, "Oh really? What instrument?"
Sora scratched his head, still blushing, "Snare drum?"
Aerith chuckled softly, turning to face Riku, "Well, just imagine that. Riku plays the snare drum too." She said, raising her eyebrow.
"Really?" Sora said, grinning at Riku.
Riku merely shrugged, causing Sora to frown lightly.
Aerith sighed, "Well, I have to go. Make sure Selphie didn't blow up the dorm or anything." She said before throwing Riku a look, "Remember what I said." She reminded the silver haired boy before waving to Sora and leaving.
Sora turned to Riku after Aerith left, "Is everything ok?" He asked tilting his head.
Riku stared at the boy for a moment before standing up and nodding, "Just fine."
Before Sora could say anything else, a pair of lips pressed against his. His eyes widened as he froze, this wasn't happening again! Ah, but it was.
Riku gently grabbed Sora's upper arms, preventing the boy from pulling away as he pressed him against the table, his tongue brushing against Sora's closed lips. But, Sora wouldn't comply with Riku's wishes, which was ticking the silver haired boy off.
So Riku had no choice but to take an alterative action. Of course, Sora didn't appreciated the action very much. But, who would appreciate getting their lip bit? Not me, either. And, apparently, Sora didn't either. But, it worked none the less.
Sora did open his mouth. And, Riku did use that opportunity to slip his tongue into the other boy's mouth.
Needless to say, Sora was shocked. But, did he pull away? No. He would ask himself why later on, for all of the angst could have ended right there…but, he didn't pull away.
By the graces of God, he actually relaxed into the kiss. Even going as far as kissing Riku back, which surprised the silver headed boy.
Before things could get anymore heated, much to Riku's disappointment, a loud bang caused the younger boy to jump away from the kiss, "What was that!" He cried, staring at the wall.
Riku twitched. Oh, he knew exactly what it was. More like, who it was. "God damnit, Leon!" He growled, glancing down at Sora, "S'okay. It's just Leon and his damned boyfriend."
Just as he said that there was another bang and what sounded like a moan.
Sora looked at the wall, a horrified look on his face, "Are they ok?"
Riku nodded, stepping away from Sora, since all hopes of him doing what Leon was doing to Cloud to Sora was now dashed. All thanks to that bastard, "Yeah, I'll introduce you when they get finished." He said, plopping down on to the couch.
Sora slowly nodded, biting his lip, "Riku?" He said softly.
The boy looked up, raising an eyebrow.
"What'd you kiss me?" Sora asked.
Riku shrugged, "Why wouldn't I?"
Sora frowned, "I don't get it."
Riku sighed, "What's not to get? I like you, so, naturally I'd want to kiss you."
Perfect logic…right?
Not the way Sora saw it, "I have a girlfriend, you know."
Riku smirked, "It was just a kiss." He turned back to the TV, "It's not like I was asking you out."
Sora snorted, "I'd say no even if I wasn't already involved with someone."
Riku laughed softly, "Oh really? You say one thing, but your body says another." He pointed out.
Sora glared at him, "And my heart says something completely different." He said softly, "I know what happened with Roxas, and I'm not leaving myself open for that."
Riku rolled his eyes, turning back to the TV, "You say that now." He muttered softly, looking at Sora out of the corner of his eye.
"Yeah, and I mean it now too." Sora replied.
Riku shook his head, "Sounds like them two are done. You still want to meet them?" He asked, turning to face Sora.
Sora shrugged, "They can't be half as bad as you." He said.
Riku snorted, "They used to be, take my advice." He said, grabbing the boy's arm, "C'mon."

Oh! What does Aerith know about Riku that we don't? Interested? I suggest you read the upcoming chapters!
What does Leon have to do with Riku's past? And, how does Cloud work into it.
And, when will Axel be introduced!
