Riku sat on a wooden bench next to a pile of Christmas cards and candy canes. He unwrapped one from the top of the pile, ripping off the card with his teeth. He flipped the small red card with his thumb and read,
To Riku,
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
With Love,
Selphie.
Riku spat out the candy cane, gagging at the disgusting tang of passion fruit on the tip of his tongue.
"I didn't know you were such a fuss pot, Riku."
Riku looked up, brushing his silver hair out of the way to reveal Kairi. She had a sweet smile on her face and Riku smiled back.
"Who's the candy cane from?" Kairi asked picking up the red card.
"Selphie? But wait, I gave her that candy cane!" Riku paused and plucked the Candy Cane from his mouth.
"You can have it back if you want. I didn't like it anyway." Kairi's pout turned into a small giggle.
"Maybe I will, Riku." Riku stood up, brushing the dirt of his pants. Kairi went to say something before she was interrupted by a screaming Sora.
"Hey! Riku, Kairi!" Sora ran up, then doubled over to catch his breath.
"Hey," He said between puffs. "What are you guys…?" He took another breath and stood up.
"…talking about?" Kairi looked at Riku and smiled.
"Nothing much, just talking." Sora cleared his throat.
"My mum and Dad aren't going to be home tonight, so I was wondering if you guys wanted to come around for dinner?" Riku crossed his arms and Kairi joint her hands at the front.
"You mean your parents aren't going to be home for Christmas Eve? That's terrible!"
"Well yeah, but…" Sora sighed. "Listen, I don't want to take you two away from your families on Christmas Eve, I just thought you guys might like to come over, that's all." Riku laughed, tipping his head back to allow his laughter to fill the sky.
"Sora you idiot, of course I'd like to come! You don't have to pull a big don't-worry-I'll-be-fine thing on us." He looked over at his friend. "Right Kairi?" Kairi paused, thinking about what to say. After a few moments she nodded.
"Right," She received a bone crushing hug from Sora.
"Thanks Guys! You're the best!" He let go of Kairi and ran towards his street. "Be there at eight!"
"See ya soon, Sora!" Riku yelled after him. Kairi turned her back in the opposite direction and began to walk home.
"Hey Kairi! Wait up!" Riku jogged to Kairi and stopped her walking.
"Why don't I pick you up?"
"What are you talking about Riku? You don't have a car!" Kairi giggled,
"So? Sora's house is just around the corner from yours, we can walk." Riku pointed towards Sora's house.
"Then why don't I just walk there myself?" Kairi said,
"It'll be dark at eight; I'd feel better if you were with me." Kairi sighed.
"Okay, see you at seven thirty?" Riku nodded.
"I'll be there."
Later that night…
"Mum!" Kairi screamed from the top of her stairs. "Do you know where my dress is?"
A soft reply came from down stairs. "The blue one? I ironed it and put it on the dining table!" Kairi ran down stairs, loud thuds echoing throughout the house. She turned left into the dining room and snatched a sky blue dress off the table.
"Thanks Mum!" Kairi yelled as she ran up the stairs and into her room. She laid her dress neatly on her bed and turned on the music. It blared loudly as Kairi ripped off her clothes and put on the blue dress. She stood in front of her wood-framed mirror. The dress had a halter neck with a black line of ribbon tied by a bow at the back. The bottom puffed out a tiny bit and flared into little curls of silk. Kairi reached over to get her lip gloss and her hair brush. She brushed her hair and put on some Vaseline, making her lips shiny. She shrugged and looked over to her green alarm clock.
"Only seven o'clock? Damn it!" She threw a sock at the clock and sat moodily on her bed, arms crossed.
At Riku's household…
Riku sat up with a jolt and a snort when his alarm clock woke him up. He glared over at his clock which emitted green light.
"Seven o'clock already? Damn it!" Riku threw his legs over the bed and rubbed his eyes. He stumbled over to his curtains and opened them. Light filled the room and Riku walked over to his dresser. He threw open the doors, yanked a jacket out and threw it over his shoulders. Riku clawed at his hair hoping to smooth it out without having to pick up a brush. He slowly succeeded and went to brush his teeth. He checked his teeth in the mirror and walked out the front, picking up his black bag on his way out and locking the door. Riku cupped his hands in front of his mouth and breathed into them hoping to gather some warmth, he started walking towards Kairi's house. The sky got darker as the temperature got colder and soon Riku picked up the pace.
Once he got to Kairi's house, he went up the wooden stairs and approached the wire door. Riku knocked three times and leant on the brick wall.
"Riku, is that you?" Riku heard Kairi's sweet voice ring from the top of the stairs and smiled.
"Mademoiselle? Your escort is here!" Riku pulled open the door as a screech rang out from its rusty screws. A faint voice came from the kitchen.
"Good evening, Riku." It was Kairi's mother. Riku walked around the white-painted wall, his steps echoing throughout the house.
"Hello, how are you?" Riku asked, leaning on the wooden table.
"I'm very good, thank you," she replied, without looking up from her work.
"Now, I was wondering what time you are going to walk my daughter home?" Riku paused, looking towards the stairwell. Kairi was standing there, her arms waving about in the air. Once she had Riku's attention, she clasped her hands in front of her, as if praying to God. She was mouthing the word 'Please'.
Riku cleared his throat. "What time do you want her home?" Kairi did a little jump and her mum looked up.
"Kairi's father and I are going to be out all night. So practically any time is good. Just make it before two o'clock okay?" Riku nodded.
Kairi walked in, her blue dress swishing each step. It took all of Riku's will power not to let his mouth drop open.
"I'm ready to go!" She tucked a lip gloss into her purse and her mum stood up to give Kairi a hug.
"Okay darling. Have fun and be safe." Kairi nodded.
"Bye mum." Kairi headed towards the door and Riku followed.
"By two o'clock, Riku. Look after my daughter." Kairi's mother's voice sounded harsh and precautious. Riku nodded and quickly exited the room, walking Kairi out the creaking door.
