Chapter 13: The Real Seek.
"My friends are my heart…" - Sora, Kingdom Heart.
He'll hate you.
"That…cannot be…"
He'll hate you.
"Sora wouldn't hate me…"
He'll hate you.
"Stop it…"
He'll hate you.
"STOP IT!"
Explosion took place around him, destroying some roof and buildings. He dropped on his knee with his dark Keyblade as his support. Tears were flowing down from the corner of his eyes as he blinked at the ground and gritted his teeth.
'Sora wouldn't hate me…we're best friend…we're so close…too close than other best friends…too close than Roxas with Sora…Sora wouldn't hate me…' Riku started to sob, for the first time in his life. The pain in his heart at the fact that Sora would hate him for him being gay and fallen in love with him was very unbearable.
He was young. Very young and Sora was much younger. Yet he had this feeling already. He loved Sora more than anything in this world. More than Kairi. Sora was his priority. Sora was the first person he decided to help. Sora was the first person he invited into the darkness but luckily, the brunet was a light.
He was a child of darkness.
Sora was a child of light.
A very completely different world.
Like Sephiroth said, they couldn't be together even if they have to.
But…
"Riku!" The voice of the child of light echoed in his head.
'Damn…even his voice started to echo in my head. I must really love him…but he…'
"Riku!"
'Why can't the voice go away?'
"Riku!"
'Shut up! Shut up! You'll hate me if you find out I love you!'
"Oi." Another familiar voice echoed in his head.
'Damn it! Now Roxas's voice in my head!' Riku frowned. 'Wait, I never love Roxas…' So, he blinked again and realized a shadow was looming over him. He slowly rose up his face and looked up to find annoying-look of Roxas and a worry face of Sora behind the blonde.
"R-Riku! Are you all right?" Sora knelt before him and watched in worry at his clear tears. "You're…crying…" Sora touched his face and wiped his tears with his thumb gently. Riku shuddered at the contact of the brunet's hand against his face and couldn't help but to feel sick in his stomach.
PAP.
One action was enough to tell everything from heart. The brunet rubbed his throbbing hand as he stared at Riku in shock and his stomach swirled around as he stared into Riku's deep, lusty aqua eyes.
"Riku…?"
"Don't touch me," Riku tried to hiss but only a whisper came out. Roxas frowned.
"Riku…" Sora bit his bottom lip as he watched Riku staggeringly stood up. He gasped when Riku fell backwards and he quickly rushed to the young man to catch him, only to trip and fell forwards. "O-Ouch…"
Their eyes were wide when they realized of their position with Sora on top of the handsome hero and their face turned red as tomatoes when they realized of their closeness in the position. If one thing Riku wouldn't want to do right now, it would be grabbing the brunet's back of neck and pulled him down for a passionate kiss.
"I'm sorry!" Sora exclaimed as he scrambling to stand up. He patted his trousers nervously and blushing bowed down to avoid Riku's wide aqua eyes. Then he heard Riku stood up and he braved himself to look at his best friend. Riku was frowning badly. "Riku…"
"What do you want?" Riku asked.
"We met Zack," Roxas said. Riku frowned more badly. "He told us of his intention."
"…"
"He wants Sora's heart," Roxas said. Riku's eyes widened then quickly at Sora. "Don't worry, he didn't get it though."
"What do you mean?"
"Zack wanted to have some Heartless to give a present for Sephiroth," Sora said, bowing.
"What?" Riku quirked his eyebrow.
"Zack wanted Heartless as a gift for Sephiroth's birthday," Roxas said.
"You're not telling me he released some Heartless for Sephiroth to kill them, are you?" Riku asked.
"That's exactly what he wanted to do," Roxas said. Riku stunned for a while before he groaned.
"You have got to be kidding me…" Riku hissed. Then he looked at Sora. "Wait…did he get what he want?" Riku asked.
"No, he didn't. I won't let him get Sora's heart," Roxas said, smirking when Riku sighed in relieve. "But we do give him the Heartless."
"How?" Riku curious.
"We use our Keyblades to open the door instead of my heart," Sora said. Riku frowned.
"Don't worry. We released only a few amounts of Heartless," Roxas said.
"So I guess our job is done," Riku said.
"Yes. We'll be leaving soon after we found you," Roxas said. "And here we found you're being grumpy towards Sora." Riku stiffened when Roxas crossed his arms. He glanced at bowing Sora before he glared at the blonde. "I'll be waiting by Gummi Ship," Roxas said before he left.
Silence.
Riku didn't say anything but kept staring at the brunet.
Sora didn't say anything but kept bowing to avoid from looking at Riku straight.
And it annoyed Riku when he didn't get to see his crush's beautiful eyes.
And it made Sora nervous when he realized Riku kept staring at him with his intense eyes.
"Sora." Riku began. He was half-relieve when Sora finally looked at him though fear could be seen in his eyes.
"Yes…?"
"Who is the person…in your dream?" This time Riku's the one who bowed. Sora, being an idiot, perplexed for a while before he blushed red and looked down at the ground.
"A-Are you sure you want to know?" Sora asked.
"Yes."
"…I hope you won't hate me after this…" Sora said. Riku bit his lip.
"No, I won't. You're my best friend," Riku said. Sora looked at his best friend, stunned to see the silver-haired young man was smiling at him. His face heated up without reason and he knew he was blushing so he looked down at the ground again.
"It was you."
