Gravitate
He was ten the first time he met Sora. The brunet had tripped and fallen in the hallway at their small school. While the others just laughed, Riku had pushed his way through the crowd and helped the boy to his feet. Sora had smiled. Riku had shrugged.
And they became best friends. Wherever one went, the other was sure to follow.
Now, while standing beside his best friend as he chatted with his brother, he realizes that meeting Sora had not been an accident. Standing here now, after just graduating, Riku realizes that all four of them had been brought together by a fate. He was ten when he remembered, he was ten when he met Sora. Roxas was fourteen when he remembered and met Axel. They wouldn't have been able to avoid each other if they tried.
They hadn't stood a chance.
The four of them...the four souls from the past, they gravitated towards each other. They're souls, from the very start, recognized each other's presence. It was comforting.
"Shorty!"
Riku glanced up at the approaching red head, smirking at Sora's pouting expression. Axel flicked the tassel, which now rested on the left side of the hat. "Thinking about college, yet?" he asked, wrapping an arm around Roxas' waist and pulling him against him.
"I'm not sure, Riku's been helping me search though."
It was a well known that fact that Roxas was heading to Ohio State (following Axel, of course, though the blonde refused to admit it), whereas Sora had put it off to the last minute and was still unsure where he would finish his studies. Riku turned away from the conversation, distracted by an elderly woman who had come up to congratulate him. After smiling and many hand shakes, he looked down to see Sora pulling on the sleeve of his graduation gown.
"What?"
"Looks like you're gonna be stuck with me, Riku!" Sora laughed. Riku only rolled his eyes.
I didn't have a choice, Sora.
They were meant to be together. All four of them.
