So do you want to hear a funny story?
Well… I guess the funny part could be argued…
I only say funny to fool myself into staying happy, but unfortunately enough I happen to be a bad liar.
I suppose my problems all started last fall. I was sitting up on a hill watching Riku, Kairi, and the others play volleyball on the beach down below. My two friends were giggling and flirting with each other. Now I know the image of a giggling Riku is hard to comprehend, but just bear with me, okay? A chill caused me to pull my knees to my chest as I stared up at the glittering stars. I didn't even hear the figure come up behind me.
"Sora, what are you doing up here all alone?" Riku's voice whispered in my ear.
"Eeaahh!" I all but shrieked.
"That was an interesting noise," Riku chuckled.
Sometimes I just couldn't tell if I hated or loved that smirk of his.
"Yeah, yeah," I sighed, my hand flying to my palpitating heart. "What?"
Riku didn't reply. He just sat there, staring at the sky. I soon found myself following his example. The cool breeze was nice it felt like a-
Wait…
What was that?
My eyes snapped open when I felt a pressure against my lips. It was Riku! I gasped involuntarily when he leaned down again, this time keeping his lips locked with mine for a longer period of time. I didn't dare shut my eyes. When Riku drew back, he stared amusedly down at me.
"Wuh- what was-?"
"I thought I missed the first time," he smiled.
Damn that charming smile.
"No, y-you got me," I breathed, confused. "B-but I thought th-that you and Kairi were going out."
"We are."
"Then… Then why did you just…"
"Riku! Sora! Come down here! We're starting a new game!" Kairi interrupted.
Riku turned to me and, with a smirk and a shrug, walked down to Kairi and the others. He placed a chaste kiss on her cheek, earning a gag from Roxas and Axel.
"Aw shove it guys," Kairi huffed, it isn't like you don't do that too…"
Axel moved his arms to place them about Roxas's waist.
"Well yeah, but not in public," he grinned.
Roxas and I gave a simultaneous face palm as Demyx laughed at Axel's joke.
Deep down in my subconscious a felt a pang of hurt as I watched Riku with Kairi hanging off his hip.
I had realized not too long before that I had grown feelings beyond that of friendship for Riku. I guess it was due to his constant teasing… I don't know… All I knew now was that I had just lost my first kiss to my best friend… My best friend who was a boy… With a girlfriend…
