Uncovering the Truth? Part Two

Losing All I Loved

Roxas turns away from Sora, a little embarrassed and shy. Sora sighs, knowing that Roxas understands and places his beanie over his head, tucking in the excess hair. Roxas notices this, curious and concerned of his sudden disguise.

"Wi-Will you tell Riku?" Roxas asks, making Sora stop mid tuck. He nods, eyes widening a bit.

"Yes."

"Do you love him?" Roxas tenses realizing what he had just said.

"Ah…" Sora is a little taken aback by Roxas's question, body stiffening.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be asking something like that," Roxas says, trying to break Sora's uncomfortable state.

"Hm," Sora smiles thinking about Riku. "Ya know…I don't really know…it's just…" Sora stops, images of him and Riku together. "…It's hard to understand my emotions. I don't know what this feeling for him is…whether it just be "liking him" or a close bond between friends…but if it's "love" that I have for him then…"

"Sora…"

"Yes, I do love him, Roxas," Sora grins happily, energy surging, heart pounding. "I love Riku."

"That's good to hear," Roxas smiles at Sora's statement. "Do you need a ride to his house?"

"Yes…that would be nice."

--

The car ride to Riku's is quiet, just the light roaring of the wheels on the road. Roxas keeps his eyes on the road as Sora looks out the passenger window. He looks up at the street sign as they turn onto the neighborhood.

'Sky Circle'

What a beautiful street name…it had a certain ring to it that made Sora smile. Roxas takes Sora's hand, holding it tightly as they pull up to number four. Sora hugs Roxas, reassuring him that everything will be alright.

"Thanks for everything, Roxas," he smiles, kissing Roxas' cheek. "We'll meet again, someday."

"Yeah, and that's a promise," Roxas whispers as Sora gets out of the car. He waves to the chestnut-haired boy. "Good luck!"

"Hm!" Sora nods, waving widely. Sora looks at the house a little nervous. One, that Riku's mom would be home and another Riku would hate him forever. He walks up the stairs, each step bringing him closer and closer to freedom. He rings the doorbell, awaiting his friend.

"Sora?" Riku opens the door to find the boy smiling cutely. "What are you doing here? Where's Roxas?"

"Oh, he dropped me off because I have to tell you something," he explains. "Um…is your mom home?"

"No, come in!" Riku lets Sora in, smiling. "I was gonna go to Roxas' soon too, to see you."

"Thanks Riku."

(Kairi's POV) Eww…I'm Kairi

Lurking in the bushes, I watch that stupid boy ring the door bell. And what did I tell you? Talk to Riku and I spill your stupid secret. The door opens showing MY beautiful soon-to-be boyfriend. No gay girly punk is gonna steal him away from me. Not a chance…I take my cell phone out of my pocket and begin to search the list of numbers for Riku's. MUAHAHAHAHA!

(Sora's POV)

"Thanks for my clothes Ri!" Sora smiles, grabbing the pile in Riku's hands. "You shouldn't have…"

"Of course I should have," Riku pats Sora on the head. "That's what friends do." Sora pounces on Riku, giddy and hyper. "Woah!"

"I've never had such nice friends in my life!" Sora cries happily. "This really means a lot to me!"

"Wow…and I'm now really afraid what you'll do when you see this," Riku pulls a present out of his pocket. "Here this is for you!"

"Ooo, a box! I love it!" I hug it tightly. Riku sighs, rolling his eyes a bit. He sits behind me, taking my hands with his.

"You have to open it, silly," Riku laughs, the vibrations from his laugh, shake my back. I look up to see Riku's eyes focused on mine. Woah…when did he get so close? My lips so close to his, but yet so far. This is it! I'm not ready! No, No, NO! Riku's phone is ringing, causing me to turn away from Riku. I feel a pair of soft petals fall on my cheek, making a small noise. 'Chu.' Riku gets up and walks over to the counter and picks up the phone. I stare blindly at the white box that is still half wrapped then to Riku. He has an angry face on, barking "What truth?" Who could it be? And why was Riku so mad? I see him look over at me and say,

"There is no truth…leave me and her the hell alone!"

He slams the cell phone down on the kitchen counter. I look at him, timid and scared of Riku's sudden change in mood.

(Normal POV)

Sora watches Riku get up and pick up the phone.

"What?" Riku snarls into the phone. It's Kairi.

"Do you want to know the truth about Sora?" she says innocently.

"What truth?" Riku barks, not in the mood to put up with her crap.

"The truth about who she really is?" Kairi says. "The lies she says. The secrets that she keeps to herself like the way she keeps you to herself. That she's-"

"There is no truth…leave me and her the hell alone!"

He slams the cell phone down on the kitchen counter. Sora cringes at Riku's sudden change in mood, looking at the teen.

"Riku? Why are you angry at me?" Sora whispers, sadly, tucking his legs under his chin.

"Sora, I'm not angry with you," Riku smiles, walking back to the couch where Sora sits. "I could never be angry with you…never ever."

"You promise?" Sora whispers, scooting close to Riku for comfort. Riku wraps his arms around the teen.

"I do."

Sora looks down at the gift quickly in his hands and continues to unwrap it. Riku smiles as Sora reveals the gift, noticing the sudden shock in the boy's eyes. In his hands, lay a cell phone. A sparkling cerulean blue and silver phone.

"R-Riku!" Sora glomps Riku, hugging tightly to his waist. "Thank you so much! I can't accept this!"

"Now I can always keep in contact with you, no matter what," Riku grins as Sora looks up. "You won't be alone anymore."

"Never, be alone?" Sora repeats, clutching the cell phone in his hands. "No matter what?"

"Mm-hm," Riku takes the phone and clicks a couple of buttons. "And it's a camera phone so smile!"

Sora leans his head against Riku's shoulder, smiling small. Riku winks, leaning his head on top of Sora's. This picture…this instance…where everything was alright…

"Sora…" Riku whispers into his ear, making the brunet look to him. He captures Sora's lips in a gentle kiss, leaning against the boy. Sora's eyes widen for a second then close, caught up in the kiss. Maybe I'll tell him…tomorrow…he leans up towards Riku, letting him take control. He licks Sora's lips asking for entrance to the unexplored cave. As Sora opens his mouth, the door slams open causing both to back away from each other suddenly. Kairi stands in the doorway, pure hatred on her face.

"You-!" Kairi charges after Sora and pushes him down to the ground. Riku stumbles up, trying to grab Kairi's hands away from Sora's neck.

"What the hell are you doing!" Riku has an arm around her waist, holding her back from the choking Sora.

"I'll kill you, before you corrupt Riku!" she screams, desperately trying to get out of Riku's grip. Sora coughs, breathing in deeply from loss of oxygen.

"What are you talking about?"

"Sora's not a girl!" Kairi shouts angrily. "He's a guy, goddamn it!"

"What?"

"Tell him right now!" Kairi screeches, glaring daggers at the bewildered Sora. Riku lets go of Kairi, who falls to the floor like a rag doll. "Hmph!"

"What are you hiding from me?" Riku's voice cracks as he approaches Sora. "Tell me Kairi is lying…"

"Riku, I wanted to tell you…I really did! But then…when you…I didn't want it to end…" Sora cries, tears flowing down his cheeks.

"…"

Kairi grabs the hat off of Sora's head along with some of his hair. "See Riku! He lied to you!"

"Riku…I didn't mean for this-" Sora sees Riku fall to his knees, head downcast. "I only…"

"Leave Sora," Kairi holds Riku, putting on an innocent voice. "Haven't you done enough? No one wants you here, anymore."

Sora looks from Kairi to Riku. "Riku…I…"

"Please, just go Sora…" Riku says on the verge of tears. "I don't think…I can see you anymore."

Sora's lower lip trembles as he scrambles up towards the door. He hears the silent laughter of Kairi as he closes the door. The laughter that will haunt him forever.

That day…Sora closed the door on hope…on Riku's heart and…on his own. Locking it from everyone…

Don't worry, I'm making another chapter...it's not over yet!
