Chapter 3
Not mine not mine not mine
It was a wonderful Saturday morning; the birds were chirping, the windows were pleaseantly frosted with snow, the sun was shining, and Mrs. Nakagawa's shrieking voice could be heard through out the country.
"Jesus Christ…" Riku mumbled, turning over in his bed. What the hell could his mother be this excited about at five o'clock in the morning?
"Riku Riku Riku!" She yelled, "WAKE UP! Wake up Sora, too! It's the last day of the clearance sale at the toy store and I need you two to go pick stuff up!"
Maybe if Riku pretended he was dead his mother wouldn't make him go.
"Riku?" Riku's ears perked up at the sound of that oddly cute grumbling voice. "What is your mom talking about?"
Oh. Sora.
"Some sale."
"Do we have to get up?" Sora asked. Riku had forgotten how scratchy Sora's voice was when he first woke up.
"RIKU!"
"OKAY!" Riku yelled back. "Get up; we have to go to the damn toy store."
"Now, here's the list." Riku's mom explained. "I woke you boys up just in time, too!"
"I really hate your last minute Christmas shopping tendencies, mother. Every year you do this."
"Well excuse me for being so busy all the time."
"Um, I'm ready to go now." Sora's voice called from the staircase. He was wearing a blue scarf and a black winter coat. He even had little ear muffs on. Riku had to stop himself from smiling.
The walk to the toy store wasn't that far, but it was cold outside. Riku couldn't help but notice how the cold made Sora look cuter than it ever made Hana look.
"Let's hurry up when we get in there, because I want to get home as soon as I can." Sora said, icily.
"Oh? And what would you be doing when we get back to my house?" Riku asked, glaring, "clinging to my mom?"
Sora scoffed and started to walk ahead of Riku, kicking some snow behind him, getting it on Riku's jeans.
"Hey!"
"Don't be such a girl." Sora replied.
"Hey, I'm not the girl here; at least I don't sleep with a bunch of guys."
Sora paused in his steps, not turning to face Riku.
"Neither do I, I've only slept with you." Sora said, his voice quivering.
And before Riku could stop him, Sora had bolted off, leaving Riku standing there alone.
Shit.
When Riku made it to the toy store, Sora was sitting outside it, messing around with his cell phone.
"Why didn't you go inside?"
"You have the list."
"Need help getting up?"
"No." Sora said, pushing past Riku into the store.
"HOLY SHIT!"
Riku and Sora both turned to look at the cashier.
"You're back with Sora?!" Axel practically announced to the store. "I thought you were banging that blonde chick?!"
"Axel! Please!" Riku yelled, giving Axel a dirty look.
"Gimme the list." Sora said, ripping it out of Riku's hands. He then turned away into the many isles, before anyone could see his blush.
"What the hell, Axel?" Riku snapped, walking over to Axel. "Don't you have any class? And what the hell kind of toy store hired someone like you to work here?"
"Hey, man, this place saw my potential as an awesome toy store runner."
"Really?"
"No. I have one more chance before the fire me. I kinda almost burnt the place down a couple times."
Riku sighed. "And no, I'm not back with Sora. His parents had to go on a business trip so he's spending Christmas with us."
"Oooh, so you will eventually be back with Sora." Axel replied, smirking.
"No, Axel, I am in love with Hana."
"Mhmm. If I had to choose between Sora and that girl, I would for sure pick So-"
They heard a tiny cough from behind them.
"I have everything." Sora said. It was obvious he'd heard some awkward things.
"You're fast; my mom had a toy picked out for every kid under the age of 12 in our family." Riku said, taking the basket from him. "Ring us up, Axel."
"Yeah, sure." Axel mumbled, "My line is always empty because all the kids are afraid of me."
The walk back to the house was silent. Riku didn't know what to say. He knew he should apologize, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Why am I such a horrible person?
"Oh! You're back!" Riku's mom said, smiling.
"Here are all the toys, Mrs. Nakagawa. " Sora said. "Now, I'm going to go rest for a little while, okay?"
"Alright, dear. Thank you so much for running this little errand for me!" Riku's mom exclaimed. "Now, Riku, could you do me one more favor?"
Riku rolled his eyes. Twenty minutes later, when he was done decorating the bushes in the front yard, Riku grudgingly walked up to him room…just to find it locked.
"Hey! Sora? Are you in there?"
"Stay the hell away from me!"
Riku banged his head against the door. "I swear, Sora, get out right now before I-"
"Go AWAY!"
"It's my room, damn it, go cry in the bathroom or something!"
"No!" Sora yelled, and Riku had to step back as his door was swung wide open. Sora's eyes were red from crying. "Listen, Riku. I don't want to be here, pretending everything is so wonderful with you. And I know you don't want me here, either, but don't you dare imply that I'm a slut ever again!"
"I-" Riku started.
"I don't even know where you got that from! You know I've never been with anyone else before. You know that!"
"Sora, I-"
"Do you honestly hate me that much" Sora said, quietly, wiping the tears from his eyes. "That you would just say mean things like that to upset me? For no reason?"
Before Riku could reply, Sora shoved past him and ran down the hallway.
"Where are you going?" Riku yelled.
"To Kairi's!" and the door slammed.
Riku rolled his eyes and sank to the floor. It was just a couple months ago that he prided himself on never making Sora cry. Riku jumped as his phone went off. It was a text message from Hana.
Hi Riku! I miss you a lot right now! Wanna come over? 3
Riku debated for a minute, but then replied:
Sure, I'm on my way.
Two could play at this game. He ran downstairs and told his mother he was going to Hana's and that he'd be back later.
Riku slowly pushed Hana down on her bed, he blonde bangs brushing over her eyes. He smiled at her as she giggled. Running his fingers over her glossed lips, she whispered sweet nothing into his ear.
"Ri-riku." Sora said, quietly, under his breath, "you know I love you, right?"
"Of course." Riku smiled, pulling Sora closer.
Hana ran her fingers through Riku's silver hair, and he kissed her.
"You're stunning." Riku said, laying Sora down. Sora smiled.
"You're so cute, Hana" Riku mumbled, in between kisses. Hana giggled. Anything to erase the pain.
"I love you, Riku." Hana said, quietly, as Riku pulled the covers over them. Riku couldn't bring himself to say it back. Hana pretended that he did.
Sora laughed as Riku tickled his sides, making it easier for Riku to take of his shirt. The room became silent.
"Are you sure?" Riku asked. Sora kissed him deeply.
Riku stroked Hana's cheek as he went in for another kiss.
"Seeing you like this makes me certain that I will never love anyone else." Riku stated, making Sora smile.
They both knew they were too young to be doing what they were about to do; but they were so in love that they didn't care.
"Riku!"
"There, there Sora." Kairi said, patting Sora's head as they sat in her living room.
"He hates me, Kairi."
"No, he's just being an asshole. I'm sure he couldn't hate you If he tried."
"He didn't even apologize. He hasn't said anything nice to me since I got there."
"Maybe he's just-"
"I heard him telling Axel how he was in love with Hana." Sora said, between sobs. Kairi's eyes softened.
"He didn't mean it." She said, quietly.
"He sounded like he did."
"Sora? Maybe you should move on?" Kairi asked, cautiously.
Sora smiled sadly. "I can't. Why can't I stop liking him after all the horrible things he's done to me?"
"I'm not sure…" Kairi replied, hugging Sora. "But one day you will."
Sora pouted.
"Or," Kairi said, her voice brightening, "He'll realize what a jerk he is, and how amazing you are, and he will remember the reasons why he fell madly in love with you, beg for your forgiveness, and then you two will get married!"
Sora laughed. "Yeah, right, Kairi."
!#$&()#$#$$#$&&((&)()&&&$$$!!$#$#&(&)&(&&$!
Riku slowly opened his eyes, startled by the foreign surroundings.
"Hi there!" A sweet voice said. Riku sat up to see Hana standing in the doorway. "You were so tired I let you sleep."
"Ugh…what time is it?"
"It's six. You slept all afternoon." She said.
"Oh my God. I really need to get home." Riku said, picking his pants up from the floor. He grabbed his cell phone. Three missed calls from mom. "Can I use your shower real quick?"
Hana nodded.
"And where were you?" Riku's dad said as Riku walked through the door.
"Hana's house. I fell asleep on her couch during the movie and she didn't want to wake me." Riku walked in the living room only to find Sora watching TV.
"Where did you go?" Sora asked, trying to sound casual.
"Hana's house." And with that, Riku turned to go back to his room.
Sora sighed and hugged his knees, trying so hard not to cry again.
Sorry if this chapter was uneventful in anyway. And thanks to those that reviewed! Wanna do it again:P haha
