Mwuahahahaha, I'm at school. Doing research for debate class. ;D I'll get around to the-day-before-yesterday's update later, but here's today's. This time, it's a "Poor Riku" moment. Will rewrite because this is very hurried.

Disclaimer: Still not Nomura Tetsuya.


An airplane zoomed across the sky. Riku focused on it, a hand acting as an visor to protect his vision from the sun's deadly rays as he squinted them. When he caught sight of the fancy cursive on the plane's side and read it, he turned away and dropped his hand to his side with a scoff. Still not Continental Airlines.

Riku had forgotten to ask Sora the exact time of the flight, but he knew that the plane would be taking off around late morning, early noon. So here he was, convertible parked aside on a long, deserted road- clear of towering trees and buildings in its surroundings, still rather close to the city, but with the perfect view of the cloudless sky. A pleasant area for viewing airplanes.

Which was what he had been unpleasantly doing for the past three hours. He didn't give a damn though (mostly)- no way in hell was he missing Sora's flight.

He pushed himself off the hood of his car and started towards the front door to grab another smoke when he heard a plane approaching. He looked up just in time to see the it zoom towards him from the airport. Again, he squinted at the plane.

Continental Airlines.

Riku's watched the plane pass him over, and didn't tear his eyes away from it until it grew smaller and smaller and disappeared into the blue abyss. He stood still for a long moment before falling back against the car, slapping a hand over his eyes as he heavily sighed.

"Is there an airport nearby, or was that just my heart taking off?"

Could he live without his heart for four years?


Class is ending in two minutes! AH!
