And here is the day before yesterday's update. XD
Disclaimer: . . . Nope, still not Nomura Tetsuya.
"Do I like Riku?"
"Yeah?"
"No."
Sora stared at his best friend, both in belief, but mostly in shock. Every girl he knew and practically the whole female student population was head over feels for the silver-haired "Prince Charming." Assuming that it was the same for Kairi (and overlooking the fact that she never showed any interest in him in the first place), he never asked. But now that he did . . .
Kairi noticed the oddness in Sora's stare and teasingly grinned, tilting her head sideways slightly. Sora's face faltered at her sudden change in mood, which only deepened the expression she held. "Well?"
"What?" the spiky-haired male asked, voice quivering in slight hesitation.
"Isn't this the part where you finally tell me that you have the hots for Riku, even though I've already known since middle school?" Sora hadn't laid a single finger on his food, yet he sputtered as if he were choking on an oversized mouthful. "Oh, Sora," Kairi chirpily sighed, joining Sora's hands with hers on the table while the flustered male struggled to verbally thwart her words (instead, he simply looked like an idiot fish out of the water). "I knew you'd tell me eventually so I never said anything, but really now- three years? I thought you trusted me more than that."
Despite the playful tone in her voice, Kairi's last words plucked at Sora's heartstrings. He lowered his head in shame. "Sorry . . ."
The smile on Kairi's face softened and she gave his hands a squeeze, showing her understanding and acceptance into the gentle gesture. Sora didn't raise his head, but he met her eyes and smiled back.
Breaking the ice though, Kairi leaned forward and whispered, "I don't like him, but I can't disagree- he's really hot."
The duo held eye contact in silence briefly before breaking out in their private Riku drooling. Their food forgotten, they flailed over their best friend from head to toe; his lustrous, silver hair, his enigmatic green eyes, his perfectly toned arms- oh, and they couldn't forget about that lovely arse either. Oh, yes.
"I swear- he must be the sexiest thing on two legs."
"Hell yes. But apart from being sexy, I wonder what else he does for a living," Sora mused out loud, following Kairi's dreamy gaze towards nowhere, the pair bathing in their Riku fantasies. Shortly after, though, they were snapped out of their alternate universe as quickly as they had entered it when hands clamped on their shoulders by surprise.
"I'm more curious about what you do apart from being cute, Sora."
The pair yelped and fretfully looked back to see no other than Riku towering over them, the amused smirk on his face too difficult to ignore. "H-hey, Riku," Kairi stammered as shakily patted his hand. Sora remained frozen, bug-eyed stare stuck on the. "Uh, I'll be right back Sora. Gonna get another drink!" Sora opened his mouth to scream in demand for her to stay, but she had zoomed off in an instant. In the midst of her quick getaway, however, Riku caught the sly wink she threw at him.
The two looked after her for a moment before Riku turned his attention back to the stunned porcupine head. "You take too long to admit things," Riku bluntly said, fingers drumming lightly on Sora's shoulder.
"What do ya- wait . . . What? You know that I like you too-?!"
Riku interrupted him with a kiss.
All the girls in the cafeteria broke out into chaos.
