Dusty -Walks in rubbing a hand through his hair - Hello again everyone, I'm glad to see you all like the story so far. Or at least have some interest in it...
Riku -They're not interested in it...
Dusty -Gives Riku an evil glare- You're just annoyed because you don't get Sora or Roxas yet, just be patient. Sora, please do the disclaimer.
Sora -Hmm? Ooo Dusty doesn't own Kingdomhearts, or anyother squaresoft stories or characters, nor does he own Savage Garden or their songs.
Dusty -On with the story-
Sora's POV
Remembering Forgotten Wishes
"RIKU YOU CAN BE SUCH A JERK!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as I felt my right hand connect with Riku's cheek. Suddenly realization of what he had just said hit me. I felt my eyes go wide with shock, though I can't see my face I can only imagine the expression on my face. "Wait a minute, what did you just say?" I asked as my voice suddenly lowered in shock as I stared into his caribbean colored eyes.
"I said I'm in love with you Sora!" he screamed at me.
My heart practically leapt into my throat as I heard the words repeat themselves over in my mind. Jerked from my trance as I swiveled my head upon hearing several gasps from nearby. Then I saw it, Kairi, Naminae, Roxas, Selfi, Tidus, and Wakka walking in apparently to join us for lunch.
Kairi and Naminae seemed to recover from their shock the fastest saying something that I didn't quite catch as they sat to either side of me. Waka and Tidus said something intangible as they sat on each side of Riku and looked directly at me, though they still had a strange expression on their face. Roxas just stood there an utterly blank expression on his face though his cerulean eyes were wide open.
"I-I-I-I-I." I could only stutter out. My heart seemed to be trying to beat it's way out of my chest as a memory flooded back into my mind. I didn't notice that everyone was staring at me because I had started to cry.
-Flashback-
Looking up at the night sky from the top of Garden I couldn't stop the tears. The call earlier that I had answered was because my father, Cid Matron, had met with a fatal accident in the training grounds. My mom had cried herself to sleep hours ago in her room on the ground floor, but I couldn't stop the tears. Squall tried to comfort me, but I had torn free of his arms and ran here. The tears just wouldn't stop coming. That's when it happened. I looked up to see two shooting stars fall from the heavens. If you make a wish on a shooting star from your heart it will come true. I thought as a memory of something my mom had once said came to mind.
I will wish for the impossible to exist so I never fall in love and have to loose them. I thought as I looked on the stars making their descent from the heavens. "I wish to be happy and never cry again. And I only wish to fall in love with the right ones." I stuttered out barely coherently. An image flashed through my mind as I spoke the second wish. Sapphire eyes and spiky blonde hair, and sea green eyes and silver hair stared into mine for a moment. The faces were blurred though and I couldn't make them out, but I knew one day that they would both come into my life somehow. I hope that they love each other as well as me. I thought with a sigh as the tears faded replaced with a small smile.
-End Flashback-
I looked between Riku and Roxas not really able to say anything. My wish just came true. SORA, say something, ANYTHING. I thought to myself. I opened my mouth to try to speak, but no sound could come out.
"For one wish to come true, another must be sacrificed." a voice said in the back of my mind.
"Wha? Oh NO!" I answered the voice as I felt it. The lump in the back of my throat, an ache in the back of my jaw. The pain in my heart, the knots forming in my stomach. Then it happened, my vision went completely blurry, and tears began to stream down my cheeks. I had started crying as the memory resurfaced. I had started crying, and now I couldn't stop.
Looking around at everyone seeing their concerned faces I did the only thing my mind thought to do. I slammed the munny for the lunch I ordered on the table, (our food had just arrived), and stood after climbing around Naminae, making my way quickly to the door. Everyone is staring at us! Was the last coherent thought I had.
Once I reached the door and was outside I took off running as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was going, only that I couldn't stop. Finally I stopped realizing where I was. I was next to the entrance of the cave in the secret place. The tears still streaming down my face I knelt down and crawled into the cave.
Once I reached the back and huddled against the back wall I cried even harder. It was as if all of the sadness I had never felt over the years, saying goodbye to my friends at Garden, coming to a new school, being almost completely alone had come back with a vengeance. Another thought occured to me, I am in love with TWO people!
"Riku, I love you too, but I'm an utter jerk!" I sobbed out, "But I love Roxas as well!" I said between sobs. My sapphire orbs wouldn't stop spilling the tears which wouldn't seem to dry up. I didn't know how long I was there crying.
"Sora!" I thought I heard two voices yell at once. Looking around I didn't find the source of the voice, nor did I notice but as I heard them the tears began to slow slightly.
"SORA!" this time both voices were closer and clearer, it sounded like Riku and Roxas, they sounded worried.
"You will hurt them because you love and want both of them." the voice taunted in my head again causing the tears to come down harder.
As I thought that the crying was at it's worst that's when I felt it. Two hands rested on either of my shoulders. Turning my head from left to right I saw it. Green eyes to my left below silver hair, and blue eyes to my right beneath spiky blonde hair. Both faces obscured so that I couldn't make them out clearly because of the tears.
Riku lifted a hand to my cheek brushing the tears away from my face, his touch seemed to electrify my skin for a moment, his skin was so soft. Roxas ran a hand softly though my hair.
"Sora." Riku said.
"Please don't cry, we never want to see you hurting or sad because of either of us." Roxas finished for him.
"We both love you Sora, but we understand if you don't love or want either of us in return." Riku said looking at me his eyes welling up with tears of his own which he seemed determined not to shed.
I reached my arms up around both of them drawing them into a tight hug for a moment.
"I-I-I don't k-k-k-know wgar to s-s-s-say or do." I said.
"You have all the time in the world." they both said before hugging me back momentarily and then letting go. I instantly missed the contact.
I noticed that Riku had a slap mark on his other cheek. I looked at Roxas for a moment and noticed that he had a slap mark on both of his cheeks as well.
I'll never leave either of you again, ever. I thought to myself. (1) "Ummm." I mumbled out, I didn't notice, but all my tears had finally stopped. "Why are there slap marks on your faces?" I asked them both turning my eyes from one to the other. I noticed that they blushed slightly.
Roxas cleared his throat, and Riku nodded.
"Well?" I asked arching an eyebrow.
1) the first time Sora left Riku on the other side of the door, and Sora left Roxas as he woke up with out really knowing he was leaving him.
Dusty - Sorry for another sorta cliffhanger, but I just coulnd't get my train of thought to focus. Also sorry for the short chapter, but there wasn't much to tell. And yes, I will get to the birthday party sooner or later. Probably the next chapter.
Riku - It was Derailed... not unfocused.
Dusty - Shoots Riku an evil look - nevermind him, he's just mad because he got slapped twice.
Roxas - glomps Dusty - Loved it? Found parts confusing, just click the little purple button in the lower corner and review, let us know how you feel. (no flames please)
Sora - turns out the light glomps Dusty and Roxas - goodnight everyone.
