"Riku!!!" The infamous young man turned around and saw his friend running towards him.

"Morning Sora," Riku greeted.

"Morning Riku!" Sora greeted back happily. Riku could not but to smile. "Where's Kairi?" Sora asked as he looked around and did not see Riku's girlfriend.

"She got, uh, woman's problem," Riku replied. Sora blinked. "Period," Riku whispered.

"Ohh!" Sora covered his mouth before he giggled. "Must be hard being a girl."

"Tell me about it," Riku said and laughed together with Sora. "Anyway, let's go to our class. Class will start in any minute now."

"Okay!" Together, they headed for their first class.

It had been a week since Riku accepted Sora as the way he is. After becoming Sora's friend, for real and after getting permission from Roxas, Riku found out that he was right. He knew from the moment he met the brunet that he should become his friend and his instinct told him right. The brunet was fun to be friend with. He is energetic, cheerful and so innocent as if never been tainted before. He also found out that Sora really values friendship relationship.

The brunet is different. There was something about the brunet that caught his attention. Every time Riku looked at the brunet, he thought he saw a bright light around the brunet. A nice and comforting light and this light also eased his heart from all the trouble he has for that day. Every day with the brunet was like a new day for him.

Of course, despite all the good thing the brunet had, the brunet also has his weaknesses. Such as easily crying over small matter that caused by him. Like the first time Riku brought Sora for hangout. The brunet accidentally ate his food and started to apologize until everyone around them looked at their way. It was an embarrassing moment for Riku. As much as Riku wanted to scold the brunet, he could not do it because the brunet was so innocent.

"Eh? You have a boyfriend before?" Riku stared at Sora in shock during their lunchtime. Sora nodded.

"Yep! A few years ago, when I was around thirteen or something," Sora replied. Riku could not believe his ear at all. He was talking about his relationship with Kairi then asked the brunet whether he had some kind of special relationship with someone before. The brunet's reply shocked him.

"I thought you're not gay…" Riku said. Sora frowned.

"I'm not gay. I just like him," Sora said. Riku shook his head. Of course, loving a guy and being gay is completely a different thing.

"S-So, who is this guy?" Riku asked. Sora grinned widely.

"A very handsome and cool guy I have ever seen!" Sora exclaimed. Riku quirked his eyebrow. "His name is Hayner." Riku's eyes widened.

'Hayner? That Hayner!?' "You don't mean that sea-salt-addicted-Hayner, are you?" Riku asked. Sora blinked.

"How do you know that?"

"Isn't he Roxas' best friend?"

"How do you know that!?" Sora startled. Riku groaned. "Oh wait, of course you know. You're Roxas ex-boyfriend," Sora said. Riku gasped.

"H-How?"

"Roxas told me," Sora said, grinning wide. "And he told me not to fall in love with you."

"That…Roxas…" Riku hissed. Sora chuckled.

"Don't worry, Riku! I won't fall in love with you!" he exclaimed happily. Riku smiled weakly.

"Why am I flattered to hear that? Thanks," Riku said. Sora smiled widely. "So, for how long did you become Hayner's lover?" Riku asked.

"Not more than one month," Sora replied.

"What happened?" Riku asked and did not miss Sora biting his bottom lip.

"He got someone else," Sora said.

"Oh…sorry," Riku said. Sora shook his head.

"It's okay! Actually I kinda glad that he broke up with me. If he hadn't, I wouldn't be here," Sora said. Riku smirked. He could not agree more. If Sora had stayed with Hayner, the brunet probably did not want to move in with Leon into this island. He probably would not meet the brunet and becomes his friend, which could be a pity thing.

"By the way, does Roxas know?" Riku asked.

"Nope! I haven't told him," Sora replied. Riku chuckled weakly.

"Better don't," Riku said. Sora tilted his head in cute way.

"Why?"

"You don't want to know what will he does once he finds out that his best friend had hurt his brother," Riku said. Sora blinked, making him look cuter than before. "He'll beat him up." Sora gasped.

"Roxas wouldn't do that!" Sora exclaimed then pouted. "Well, he would but…I'm sure he won't hurt his best friend."

"…you really believe in him, huh?"

"Of course I am! He's my brother! I've known him for three months already and I believe in him," Sora said, grinning wide. Riku smirked. "Um Riku…"

"Hmm?"

"Why…did you break up with Roxas?" Sora asked. Riku blinked.

"He didn't tell you the reason?" Sora shook his head. Riku sighed.

"Is it because he's not good enough for you?" Sora asked. Curiosity was written all over his face and Riku did not miss worry. This made Riku sighed and smiled weakly.

"Well, he's more than enough for me," Riku said without him planning to. His mouth just talked without him realizing it. "But I don't think he's for me."

"What do you mean? He's not a perfect person for you?" Sora asked. Riku nodded. "Does that mean you're looking for someone perfect for you?"

"Yes," Riku replied.

"This perfect person is Kairi, right?"

"…Yeah." Riku was surprised when he realized he answered that, especially when he was using unsure and doubtful tone. "I love her," Riku said with soft expression. Sora could not help but to stare. He had never seen Riku with such a soft expression. Usually, he only has seen Riku with cool and macho look. Riku look completely different with such expression.

"You two are so perfect, Riku," Sora said and smiled. "I wish I have someone special to me too…"

"Heh. This is awkward," Riku said. Sora chuckled. "Don't worry." Riku took Sora's hand and squeezed it. "You'll find your perfect person someday."

"Riku…"

"Though I hope it won't be me because I really don't want Roxas to kill me," Riku said. Sora laughed.

"Oh Riku…" Sora smiled widely. "Thanks."

"No problem." Riku winked. "Just to kill the weird atmosphere." Sora chuckled, wiping his tears happily. "So, where do you want to go after school?"

"Roxas told me to go straight home," Sora said. Riku sighed. "Sorry."

"It's okay."

"Why do you ask anyway?"

"Well…I was thinking of bringing you to one place," Riku said. Sora blinked.

"Where?"

"You'll have to find out."
