Rin:cries: Thank you so much for the reviews! I worked really hard for you guys! So that's why it's up earily or in my option it is.
Vixen Angel: Sorry about the wait! I was going to answer your question lasttime but I forgot. I am one of the most forgetful person in the world. The answer: I'm not really sure about it. I was thinking something kinda like Purgatory but it's kinda like the place that you(might have) thought of when you were little and you thought of where angels live and about Heaven. I'm not sure if that makes any sense butyoucan always ask another question.
Disclaimor: Rin: I call Riku!
Sora: No! He's mine!
Riku:Sora's got dibs.
Rin: Crap.
Riku: But you can have Kairi...
Rin: AHHHHHHHHH! I will never EVER own Kairi! Square Soft owns her.
o0o
Damn his mother. Damn his mother to hell.
She's up to something. And Riku's determined to figure out what it is. He knows something is going on in that sick, twisted mind of her's. Why else would she stick Sora in his bedroom?
On his bed?
Normally Riku wouldn't mind but he hardly knows the boy. He doesn't want to scare Sora away with his sick, perverted self. He's usually cool and calm but the perverted self lives on in his brain and takes over once in a while. And his other side can be scary. Really scary.
Riku groaned as he looked at the clock- 2:35. He turned to his side to behold the cute sleeping brunette sleeping peacefully.
Sora didn't seem to be affected by sleeping next to Riku. Not like before…
FlashbackAyu stuck her head into Riku's room. It was around 7, hours after they ate the Pofica. Since then Riku and Sora were playing video games and just chatting.
"Riku-kins!" Ayu chirped.
Riku groaned at his nickname. "I told you to stop calling me that! What?"
"Well… since Sora's staying here for the night he's going to need a room to sleep in. So… he'll be sleeping in your room, on your bed."
"Alright. But where would I be staying?" Riku asked pressing some buttons on his controller.
"In your room of course, on your bed."
"What?" The boys yelled simultaneously dropping their controllers.
"You heard me. He'll be in your room."
"B-but on the same bed too?" Sora asked.
"Yup! Your both guys, you can't get pregnant…"
Sora blushed a deep red.
"And we're out of sleep bags."
"What about the spare room?" Riku asked.
"It's all filthy. We can't have Sora sleeping in dust."
"But mom…"
"No buts!" Ayu snapped cutting her son off. "I made up my mind. I'll be back with an extra pillow later." She slammed the door laughing evilly.
End FlashbackThat was such a lie.
'The spare room's all filthy.'
What was that? Just last week his friend, Tidus slept in there and she forced Riku to spend five hours cleaning it. There's no way that's dusty.
'I need to get out of here…' Riku thought.
He slowly got off the bed, careful not to wake Sora. He flipped over in response and mumbled something about evil cupcakes attacking Kansas.
He left his room and made it down the hall toward his hangout room. When he was little he and Sora always used to play there. Back then it was filled with toys and it was a bright blue. Now it's a darker shade of blue and now it's filled with electronics and two couches.
Riku went to his guitar on the one side of the couch. He named it, Revenge. It was a weird name for a guitar but when did he think of what others thought?
The platinum blonde sat down on the couch with the instrument and began to strum her
He didn't worry about his mother waking up; she was a sound sleeper.
Riku thought of a song to sing. He was in a band with his friends Leon, Cloud, and Yuffie. He was the lead guitarist, lead singer and songwriter. Cloud played guitar also while Leon was on bass and Yuffie was on drums.
They all shared an equal part of the band.
Yeah, sure.
He began to sing the song he wrote, on what seems like forever ago. But everyone in the band and their fans love it so he continues to play it…
"I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget him
But he could try"
"Riku…?"
The said boy looked up to see Sora rubbing his eye with the back of his hand. Riku must have woken him up.
"Whatcha doin' up Riku?"
"I couldn't sleep so I started to play."
Sora sat next to Riku on the couch and rested his head on the older boy's shoulder. The brunette looked really tired.
"It sounded really good. Could you keep playing?" He asked softly.
Riku nodded and started it up again.
"I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget him
But he could try
Riku picked up the volume on his guitar and his voice.
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever…"
The singer dropped his voice along with the guitar volume.
"Ever...
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms he dies
He dies"
Riku picks the volume up again for the chorus.
"At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me"
Riku whispered this part and slowly strummed Revenge.
"If I fall
If I fall (down)
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna…"
Riku finished up the song and turned to his friend.
"Did you like it Sora? Sora?"
He looked down to the brunette curled up next to him. He was fast asleep.
Riku chuckled softly to himself and reached over to put Revenge it the stand.
He stood up and picked up Sora. Riku settled on the couch and laid Sora on top of him.
What? His room was filthy after all and there was only one couch in here if you ignore the love seat across the room.
Sora stirred in his in sleep, digging his face deeper into Riku's chest and mumbled something about the evil cupcakes moving to Oklahoma.
Riku smiled and tried to resist the tempt to switch positions and screw him senseless.
He yawned. It was too late to screw anyway.
Riku fell asleep guessing what his mother's plan could be.
o0o
"Do it already."
"B-but…"
"Hurry it up."
"Wait. Almost got it."
"Any day now…"
"Shut up."
"How long is this going to take Cloud? I would like to go too."
"Shut it Leon."
"You have five seconds"
"Alright!" Cloud threw down a 6 of diamonds.
"Rummy." Leon said picking up card. "Honestly Cloud… You take forever to put down a card and when you finally do it's either, a card you need, a card I need, or a rummy."
Cloud pouted. "It's not my fault. I haven't played in a long time."
"When was the last time you played anyway? We haven't played together since we were around eight."
"Around the time Sora died…" Cloud said quietly looking at the floor.
Leon flinched. He forgot about how much Cloud's little brother meant to him. They haven't spoken much about him since it was hard on the blonde.
Maybe rummy wasn't such a good idea after all. Cloud was going to teach Sora when he got older. The boy always watched his brother and his friend when they played. Since the death Cloud stopped playing.
Leon stood up and walked across the table toward the blonde.
"How about doing something else?" He asked
Cloud looked up and nodded.
Leon saw the tears in his eyes and nearly broke down. He couldn't stand it to see his friend cry. It's like a curse.
The brunette pulled Cloud to his feet and embraced him.
The younger male hugged him back. Leon ran his hand through Cloud's blonde spikes when they broke apart. "Wanna watch The Grudge?"
Cloud smiled. "Sure." He headed up the stairs toward Leon's bedroom.
The brunette chuckled and followed. He loved watching scary movies with his boyfriend. It's the easiest way to get into his pants.
o0o
Sora woke up the next mourning comfortable.
"Wow." He mumbled to himself. Riku has a really nice bed; it's so comfy." He nuzzled his head deeper into the 'bed'.
The brunette heard a chuckle. "I'm glad you like it."
Sora looked down to see the bed was actually a smirking Riku. The angel yelped and fell off the couch.
Riku laughed. "Oh come on Sora. I'm not that scary in the mourning am I?"
"N-no! It's just that I didn't except to be sleeping on you. I'm sorry."
"It's fine. I'm the one who put you there anyway."
"Why?"
"You fell asleep while I was singing so I set you on top of me."
" Oh. Sorry. But why?"
"'Cause there isn't enough room on the couch for both of us."
"I kinda figured that, but why in here?"
Riku shrugged. "I like it better in here."
"Hey, Riku? Can you um… play for me again? I feel kinda guilty for falling asleep during it and I would really like to hear all of it this time."
Riku smiled. He was glad that Sora liked his song, it was written about him anyway… No-not him. The other Sora. "Of course. It's not your fault anyway. It was late and I woke you up. If we can't find your family then come to my practice tomorrow after school."
"Practice?" Sora asked, cocking his head to the side.
Riku chuckled ruffling the younger boy's feathery hair. "Yup, band practice. Its tomorrow."
"I can come? Really?" Sora asked enthusiastically.
Riku blinked. Band practice wasn't that excited. He would rather stay home and sleep but… "If you really want to…"
The brunette jumped onto the older male. "YAY! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Oi, Riku. What's he thanking you for, eh?"
The two boys turned around to face Ayu leaning against the side of the door with a huge smirk across her face. "I see you slept in here last night." She said looking around. "I didn't hear any noises last night. Are you really that bad Riku?"
Sora's entire face was red while Riku glared at his mother. "Are you insane women? Me? Bad in bed? It's unthinkable, it's unreal! And just for the record, nothing went on last night."
Ayu continued to smirk. "You're too much like me, far too cocky. Get ready already! I wanna go shopping soon! The faster we leave, the sooner we get to the police station. The sooner we get to the station, the sooner we get to the mall! Hurry it up boys!" She squealed skipping down the hall.
Sora stood dumb-founded. "Is she always this hyper?"
"Unfortunately, no. This is her minimum hyper-level. You should see it when she, Rin, her cousin Selphie and my neighbor all get in the same room with soda, cookies and other sugary foods. It's chaos. They all plot for world domination and once they all most succeeded. It was the worst month of my life." Riku shivered as he recalled being forced to sit through their meetings, watching them scarf down sugar and plot for domination and more ways to ruin his life.
"Doesn't sound like much fun to me…" Sora said.
"It's not fun unless you're one of those hyper freaks."
o0o
"Okay, so you're telling me that this kid fell out of the sky?" The police officer asked.
Ayu sighed. "Yes Leon. For the fifth time, he fell out of the sky and Riku found him."
Leon raised an eyebrow. "He looks familiar somehow…"
"That's what everyone's saying." Sora said rolling his eyes. But he was saying the same to everyone who said it to him.
"Alright kid. What's your name?"
"Sora Harada."
Leon raised another eyebrow while he typed in Sora's name. "Interesting…"
As the officer searched Riku talked to his friend. "Hey, is it okay if Sora comes to our practice tomorrow if you don't find his name?"
"Are you in the band too?" Sora asked.
Leon looked up to the boy. "Yeah why?"
"Well, Riku said he was in a band but he didn't say who was in it."
"Let's see, besides me there's, Riku, Yuffie and Cloud."
"Cloud!" Sora asked without thinking. He hasn't seen his brother in years. Now that Sora looks back it's kinda unbelievable. He and Cloud were always together. Sora really looked up to his brother and he really misses him.
"Yeah, his real name is Cloud. Unusual name but a great guy. What was with the outburst?" Leon asked looking back to the computer screen.
"My nickname between my friends, is Cloud." The older boys gave him a weird look. "Don't ask; inside joke."
"I'm sure you'll like our Cloud." Leon said while continuing to type.
"Does this mean he can come?" Riku asked.
"If he's going to stay with you, yeah. Because there is no Sora Harada on here. There's only one Sora on here that's in a 50-mile radius. And well you know the rest."
Riku glared at the ground. "Yeah…"
"Huh?" Sora asked tilting his head to the side.
Riku gave him a reassuring smile. "It's nothing. So no family?"
"Nope. There's only one Harada on here but he's an old geezer with no family and lives in Finland."
Ayu ran from her spot at a couch reading a teen magazine and glomped Sora. "YAY! You can stay with us! Come on guys the mall awaits! Bye-bye Leon!" She called over her shoulder as she literally dragged Sora out of the station.
"See ya later Leon." Riku said following his mother and friend.
"Later." The officer answered before picking up the phone once they left.
"Hello? Cloud? It's Leon. You'll never guess what just happened…"
o0o
Riku sat in his mother car staring at Sora. The brunette's expression was quite entertaining. The boy was petrified.
Ayu was hyper. She desperately wanted to shop. She has always been a shopper but never had any child to shop with. Sure she had Riku but he wasn't into shopping with his mother even if she shopped at all the same stores he does. Ayu wanted a girl but Riku is an only child so that's why she's glad Sora's here.
He's basically a girl with a flat chest and a dick (A.N. No offense to Sora-kun. I love him to bits!) But Riku thought he was adorable nonetheless. Even right now as he sat wide eyed as Ayu ran over yet another stop sign.
So far she nearly ran over two old guys, crushed a garbage can lying on the street, passed through a yellow light at 65 miles per hour, escaped from a police officer, no doubt trying to give her a speeding ticket, and now hit three stop signs.
In conclusion… She's hyper from excitement.
When they finally parked at the mall, Sora scrambled out of the car as if he was afraid the car would suddenly come to life and trap him inside and force him to ride again.
It was adorable. Fuck that, everything was adorable when it came to Sora.
"Come on Sora! We need to buy you lots and lots of clothes!" Ayu grabbed onto the poor boy's wrist and pulled him toward the mall
Riku slowly walked behind.
In the mall, Sora's bright blue eyes scanned the entire place, taking in the scenery. It would seem like he never been to a mall before. And it wasn't even that great of a mall. The Papou Mall was nothing compared to the Highwind Mall across town.
"You're first time to a mall Sora?" Riku asks teasingly. He picked up his pace to walk besides the brunette.
"No. But I haven't been in one since I was little."
'What kind of people are his parents?' Riku thought.
Ayu almost had a heart attack. "When was the last time you were at the mall?"
Sora thinks for a bit. "I think I was five since-"
"FIVE!" Ayu screams. To her nine years without stepping into a mall is unheard of. "That's terrible! We need to buy you useless junk right away! And I won't take no for an answer!"
She pulled Sora toward Hot Topic.
'Sora? In Hot Topic? I can't picture him wearing anything from that store. Even though he'll probably look good in some of their clothes.' Riku thought has Sora looked terrified as he saw gothic people walking in and out of the store.
Ayu looked at her watch. "I'm off to go to other stores to buy some clothes. Riku you take Sora in here and show him around. Then go and get lunch or something. I have my cell with me so call if something goes wrong. Bye!" She left.
Sora clung to the hem of Riku's shirt. "Come on." He said before taking Sora's wrists and pulling him in the store.
As they got further into the store, Sora clung on tighter and tighter onto Riku as if he was afraid the people would bite.
Riku then realized why his mother left him to be with Sora. She knew he'd freak out and cling onto someone. And just so Sora wouldn't hang onto Ayu she left him to cling to Riku like some comfort object.
The sliver haired boy pulled Sora up to a wall of shirts. "Like any?" He asked.
Sora looked up and pointed to a few. Riku pulled out the shirts.
He next ushered the brunette to the Trip pants. Sora looked at one of the price tags with a horrid look on his face. "They're really expensive."
Riku shook his head. "Don't worry about the price, just pick a few."
Sora took down two different kinds.
"Anything else?" Riku asked.
"I think I'm fine."
"Okay just one more thing…" Riku took him to the accessories. "Pick some."
Sora grinned and grabbed some handcuffs (A.N. I don't know if that's right.), bracelets, pins and some other little trinkets. But no necklaces even though they're a top seller.
"Don't you want some necklaces?"
Sora shook his head. "I only wear one necklace and I don't like taking it off. And I'll never wear one over it."
"Okay let's check this stuff out then we'll hit the food courts. K?"
Sora's stomach growled in response. He laughed sheepishly. "Yeah. I'm starved."
Riku chuckled and grabbed his hand. He blushed but smiled back. "Let's go."
o0o
They decided to go to Wendy's. Well no- Riku decided to go since Sora has no clue what kind of foods they had there.
Riku absolutely adores Wendy's. He goes there every time he goes to the mall. He even knows each and everyone of the workers who work there and they know him and his usual order. Once in a while the manager will call his cell in case they need an extra worker.
Riku and Sora waited in line while he asked the brunette what he wanted.
"Well I don't know what they have there. I never been to Wendy's before."
It was Riku's turn to have a heart attack. ' Seriously, what kind of parents did he have anyway?' He thought. "Never?"
Sora shook his head. "Nope. Never."
'That poor kid's taste bud abused.' Riku thought.
"Why?" Sora asked.
"Why?" He laughed. "That's because Wendy's is only the best place in the world! You haven't liven until you tried their food."
"Do they have any chicken nuggets?"
"Only the best." Riku smiled. He was a talking, living, breathing, advertisement.
Sora grinned back. "Alright I'll get…" He stood on his the top of his toes to get a better view of the menu. "Three $.99 chicken nuggets, two biggie fries, a large root beer and a large Fix & Mix Frosty with Oreo."
Riku heard of people eating large amounts of food in one sitting before but he never guessed someone as small as Sora could eat that much. "That's a lot of food. Do you think that I'm some kind of bank?"
"Well then I'll get a medium Fix & Mix Frosty with Oreo." He countered. "And besides I'm hungry."
"You're going to get fat from all that food you know ya know."
Sora dropped his smile. "So its my body. Why do you care if I get fat?"
"Because you don't seem to care and someone has to."
He blinked before smiling again. "Thanks Riku. You're really kind."
The kind friend smiled back. "I try."
They heard a next and they walked up to the counter.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't our favorite customer. How are ya Riku?" A brunette asked. Li was kinda Riku's friend. He got along nicely sometimes-other times they're nearly strangling each other.
At the sound of Riku's name, almost all of the employees left their stand.
"Yo, Riku."
"How are ya?"
"Good to see ya again!"
"Who's your new friend?"
"Hey buddy!"
"Yo, yo, yo! It's R to the Iku!" Just ignore Joe, he likes to imitate people.
Li shoved everyone away and looked back to them His brown bangs covered his brown eyes but Riku knew he was staring at Sora. It was kinda obvious since Sora moved closer and closer behind Riku away from Li's eyes. "So, Riku. Who's your friend?" He asked licking his lips.
"Sora." Riku answered glaring at the employee. 'If he's trying to hit on Sora then he's got another thing coming!'
"Ah, Sora. I like that. So what would you like Sora?" Li asked looking at Sora.
The poor victim gulped and took another step back behind Riku.
"He wants three $.99 chicken nuggets, two biggie frosties, one large root beer, and a Fix & Mix Frosty with Oreo." Riku answered for Sora.
Li looked just as shocked as the platinum blond did. "He's really going to eat all that?"
"I guess that's what he told me."
"You want the usual?"
"Don't I always?"
Riku walked over toward the other side of the counter with Sora still holding on his black shirt. God he was adorable.
There stood Gina completely bored. She was 14 and too young to work but her father owned the place (Riku is very jealous) and he insists that she works there.
Gina wasn't a close friend of Riku's but she's friends with Rin; even if they are as different as heaven and hell.
"Hey Riku." She said in a monotone voice.
"Hey."
Gina looks behind him to see Sora slowly coming out of his hiding place. "Is this Sora?"
Riku shot her a weird look. "How did you know?"
"I confess, I was stalking you." She said sarcastically rolling her eyes. "Rin told me."
Riku snorted. "Figures."
She ran a hand through her puffy blond hair. "Here's your food." She grabbed the two trays of food given to her by a co-worker and shoved them at Riku. "That's $ 9.85."
The boy gave her a $10 bill and left without getting change back.
Gina called over to them. "Have fun and remember to wear a condom with your little boyfriend."
Riku felt Sora's heat up. "See ya at school, Gina." He chuckled.
o0o
Riku watched in shock, amusement and horror as Sora gulped down three of his chicken nuggets when the older boy has only chewed one bite of his bacon cheeseburger.
He swallowed and took a sip of his soda. He caught Riku staring at him. "What? Do I have something on my shirt?"
The older boy blinked and shook his head. "No, it's not that. But you're going to choke sooner or later."
Sora grinned. "I've been eating like this for years. And I'm right in front of you aren't I?"
"Yeah he did too." Riku said under his breath.
"Excuse me?" The brunette asked.
"Um… I said Yeah, God bless you." Sora looked confused. "You know God bless your still alive!" Riku tried to cover up for his mistake.
Sora averted his blue eyes to the ground. "Yeah… Alive…"
Riku had no clue what the boy just said but was glad he bought his lie. He noticed Sora didn't look too happy so he changed the subject. "Do you like your food?"
Sora looked back up and smiled. "It's great!"
He took a large scoop of frosty and took a long sip of root beer. He swallowed. "It tastes better that way." He explained to his friend.
Riku smiled and took another bite of his burger.
'Sora's really interesting. He's nothing like the other guys I dated. He's just so… innocent. The other guys practically begged to get screwed. But not Sora. He's not like anyone I know. It's like what Rin said-he isn't ordinary. But how?'
A tan hand waved in front of his face, sending Riku back to reality.
"Riku? Are you okay?" Sora asked. "You blanked out for a second."
He reassured his concerned friend with a smile. "Yeah, just thinking."
"That's good." Sora said before shoving another chicken in his mouth. "Pmhs chmpn ims phamtik!"
Riku chuckled at his childish behavior. "I told you it was good."
Screams of terror suddenly filled the food court as crashes of chairs and other things collated with them. People ran screaming their heads off away from the food court. Whatever it was it was near them.
A person tripped not too far from where the boy's table was. He screamed as a whip met his back. In an instead the man disappeared.
Sora's eyes widened and slipped out of his chair. "Riku…" He pulled on the older boy's sleeve. "Let's get outta here…"
Riku took one last look toward the people responsible for the ruckus. He didn't see anything but people running and stuff being thrown in random places.
Riku went into Sora's pull and they tried to escape but a loud voice stopped them dead in their tracks.
The voice was louder than all of the screams and crashes put together.
"Where are ya? You little punk? I swear when I get my hands on you, you'll forget that you even thought about hiding from me!"
o0o
Once again that was really long. For all those My Chemical Romance fans out there, that was their song and yes, I did change it alittle.
I also put my friend in there but she wouldn't know because she hates Yaoi. She will hate me if she figures out that I put her in here but she'll also think I'm insane if I tell her that I write Yaoi.
Today before I finshed up the story I went to Wendy's. I LOVE Wendy's. So I had to put it in there.
Also! No offense to anyone that shops at Hot Topic. It might seem like I'm afraid of everyone that goes in there but I'm not. I'm a Hot Topic shopper too. People tend to find little things and they get all in my face like this one thing I put on the internet, they don't me to go to hell when I was just stating my opition. So just so everyone knows, I don't mean to offend anyone in my stories. I'm sorry if I do.
Next time: It's a surprise!
