Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is not mine. Boo hoo.
The big track competition was tomorrow at Destiny High's rival school- early in the morning, too. However, instead of being snug in bed resting up for the meet, Riku was jumping hurdles, pushing himself through some last-minute training late into the night.
It was a quarter till midnight when Riku finally decided to turn in for the day and checked his watch. He dabbed at the sleek sweat on his face with the ends of the towel around his neck; he had been working himself to the bone for the past two hours. His muscles were horribly worn out, and so was his mental stability. Maybe he overdid it a little too much this time.
He sat down on the bench and sifted one hand through his bag for his water bottle while he fished his phone out of his pocket with the other. He had just flipped his phone open when it came to his realization that all he felt in the bag was cloth. Frantically, he turned his full attention to the bag and patted it down, turned it inside out, then checked under the bench and around it- great, he did forget his drink. He throat, already parched from the lack of water, tightened even more in disappointment of the missing beverage.
Riku was muttering a string of curses under his breath as he untied his hair when his phone chimed. Flipping it back open, he read his new message:
Look behind you.- Sora
In an instant, Riku was up on his feet facing the tall bleachers. Sora was leaning over the edge, a plastic bag in one hand and his phone in the waving one. "Riku!"
"What're you doing here?" Riku questioned, still in the midst of calming his breath although it wasn't as wild as it had been momentarily before.
"You weren't at home, so I figured you'd be here." Riku smiled; Sora knew him too well. "Na, you must be tired-"
"Ya think?"
"- cause you've been running through my mind all day."
Well, gee- that caught him off guard. The silver-haired male gaped at Sora in disbelief that he used that pick-up line, whereas Sora grinned brightly at finishing it. And Riku was the cheesy one. Then he tossed a slim can of Riku's favorite tea down, the worn out pretty boy catching it with ease even in his weary position.
When Riku looked back up at the brunette the second time, there was a sweet smile on his face and Sora happily gestured the convenience store bag in his hand towards the locker room before bounding away to the said destination.
Riku chuckled softly, passed the cool drink between his sweaty palms a few times, then jogged off the field towards the locker room.
