Second Chapter...to all my awaiting peoples...
Oh yeah at the end of the first chapter it's supposed to say. "I wish I could TELL Riku I was a guy..."
I can't believe I screwed up on the last sentence...--;
Found out?
Sora stares at himself in the mirror, eyes beginning to rim with tears. It isn't fair! Every guy he knew was in some way attractive but none of them ever knew he was a guy at least not until…Ugh, stop thinking like that! Riku only likes girls…besides I only met him. Why should I be having these feelings?
"Sora?" Riku's voice is close. Sora quickly puts on his hoodie.
"…"
Before he could answer Riku opens the door finding Sora, in front of him.
"I guess you're done?" he smiles softly.
"…thanks…" Sora says, blushing. "Where should I put my wet clothes?"
"I'll put them in the dryer," Riku shrugs then taking the clothes out of Sora's hands.
"Wait!" Sora stops Riku by grabbing his arm. He turns around and looks at him curiously. Say it! It's better not to keep this thing up! 'I'm a guy!' "I need something from my pocket."
"Sure."
Sora grabs a small trinket and a piece of paper.
"Is that it?"
"Yeah."
Riku tells Sora to follow him down the stairs to the living room. Sora tries not to look Riku dead on by staring at the ground. He suddenly feels his hood slipping off. No!
"Why do you keep that hood on?" Riku asks, tugging at it. Sora whaps Riku's hand away, afraid that he'll find out.
"I'm sorry, I just do…" Sora looks up at Riku's emerald green eyes.
"If you're cold I can give you a beanie (1)," Riku sets the clothes in the dryer. He grabs a hat and hands it to Sora.
"If it will make you happy…" Riku hears a hint of hurt in Sora's voice.
"Listen if you don't want to-"
"I'm sorry again, thank you," Sora smiles and walks from Riku to put his hat on. Riku takes Sora's arm holding onto it tightly.
"Hey, where are you going?" he laughs slightly. "Are you embarrassed about putting on a hat?"
Sora looks down at the ground, shutting his eyes tightly. He's gonna think I'm a freak…please don't be cruel to me; I have enough of that in Faith Valley…please, please…
Riku's POV
"Please, please…please…" I hear her repeat. Her voice quivers, telling me that I'm causing her to cry.
"Hey," I put my hands on her shoulders. She draws in a quick breath, her body stopps trembling. "I didn't mean to make you cry…okay? I understand that you're still afraid of what's happening…"
I hear another sharp intake of breath. I bite the bottom of my lip, scared of what to say. "You don't need to cry anymore…"
I slowly put my hand underneath her chin. I begin to slowly pick her face up to mine. Azure eyes meet mine as I slowly lower my face towards hers. Old bruises on Sora's face are barely noticeable but the tint of purple saddens me.
"Ri…" she stops, I can feel her breath quicken. "…ku…"
I turn away from the girl, knowing I had crossed the line.
"So, are you still going to stay?"
Sora's POV
"So are you still going to stay?" Riku says, looking away from me. What had just happened? He was about to kiss me…what made him stop? Probably the fact that I wasn't some chick to let him have his way with…no, I was a frightened, unattractive, not-worth-his- time girl who was actually a boy.
"Riku…" I reach for his hand but draw away. "Do you want me to leave?" Just say 'yes'! Please, I can't take this anymore…all these emotions, all this pain…
"…" he turns around, nothing in his eyes. Two lifeless green eyes… "No…"
I sharply exhale. "N-no…"
"You're the only one…who's ever been a true friend to me…" Riku states. "I didn't know how to react…please don't be offended…"
I hear honesty in his voice. "Me too."
"Just don't leave yet…" he whispers softly. "Not yet…"
"Ri…" he suddenly wraps his arms around me, embracing me.
"Not yet…" Riku's voice is caring, thoughtful. It entrances me… "Not yet…"
"…kuuuuu…" my eyes sag but I desperately try to stay awake.
"…not yet…"
"ri…ri…"
"…not yet…"
"…Riku…"
"Sora…"
…
"I love you…"
…
Brilliantly shining sun…
The ocean's deep blue waves…
The sky so clear and pretty…
The clouds, white and innocent…
Rich palm trees, coconuts growing…
I really wish you were here with me…
A sun-kissed beach…
A figure out in the distance…
Silver glints in the sun…
You turn towards me…
Yeah, yeah, I know...I'm a bastard -; I wanted to get another chapter out...
