Hey, there! Really sorry about not updating for the past week- everything's been pretty hectic. Sadly, this drabble-a-day deal isn't going to work out (oh, really? No), but I will continue to update this consistently.
By the way, I'll be replying to your reviews via PM because it's cleaner that way. But since my time is short (I'm in my debate class again, hee), here we go:
Nekotsubasa: Actually, I'm surprised that I'm even keeping up with this 'cause I am the epitome of laziness.
Telracs1994: Cheers to the triple-update awesomeness, boo to the whole week I missed. But not to fear- I do plan on going really, really far with these updates!
Shibara: The running through my mind is old, but I still find it amusing.
Tomomi: You're awesome and I love you, Jess. Seriously. But what the heck- the longest review on the shortest update? XD
iloveme5895: Cuteness overload! I find that line adorably cheesy as, well. Thank you!
Naruta13: Despite how corny and fail they can get, I love them too. :D
Also a message to Xoroux: I've read your PM. Expect a reply today (I hope.) :]
I'll be putting up another chapter later on if I can- mid-winter band concert today!
Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is not mine. But credit to this adorable pick-up line goes to Tomomi!
"Okay, so now that you've found the reference angle and the sides, what quadrant is the triangle in?"
"Three."
"Right. And in quadrant three . . . ?"
"Tangent and co-tangent are negative?"
"Other way around."
"Positive- got it!"
Riku chuckled and mussed Sora's hair as the younger male diligently worked on his pre-calculus homework. They sat across from each other in the kitchen, backpacks and homework littering the top of the table. Sora wasn't the brightest at math, nor was he too dumb to understand even the easiest things, but he was having difficulty with the current lesson and asked for Riku's help.
Of course, how could Riku deny is ever-so-cute boyfriend's request?
"Alright, I'm done."
"Good. Now finish the remaining problems."
Sora frowned, lips forming in his infamous pout (which Riku had secretly dubbed his arch-nemesis since he almost always found himself giving into that adorably irresistible pout). The silver-haired pretty boy's eye twitched; here goes the whining. "Aw, come on- I understand it now and the assignment's not due until Wednesday. Can we take a break?"
"You're going to end up procrastinating like always. Do it now."
"Aw, come on! Please?"
"No. Finish it now so you don't have to worry about it tomorrow."
Sora's expression of misery deepened even more.
Tucking loose strands of his long hair behind his ear, Riku sighed, "You're asking for a break because the rest of is it harder, huh." At his words, the frown slowly turned upside-down into a very sheepish smile. Riku slapped a hand over his eyes, sliding it down in exasperation until his palm stopped over his mouth. He stared at Sora like he was an obscure statue before speaking again. "Do you like math?"
"Yeah, but it's hard!" Sora answered, eyebrows furrowing.
"Okay." Riku scooted back from the edge of the table and stood up from his seat. "Let's do something easy then to keep your brain stimulating at least," he said as he rounded the table to sit in the empty chair next to Sora.
"Alright, cool." Sora looked up at his boyfriend in curiosity as the older one got himself comfortable in the cold seat. "So what're we starting with?"
"Counting."
"Really."
"Yes."
"Wow."
"How many pencils are on the table?"
"Two."
"And backpacks?"
"Two."
"What about chairs?"
"Four."
"And tables?"
"One." Sora was starting to get bored.
Riku noticed and initiated an attack. "What about papers?"
"You expect me to get an accurate count out of this mess?!" Laughing at Sora's comeback, Riku ruffled his spiky but soft hair once again, receiving a playful pout from the younger one as he tried to bite Riku's hand when he pulled it away. Riku countered with a quick pull of his cheek, which he sweetly kissed despite Sora's fake protests. Sora kissed him back, though.
Leaning back, Riku propped an elbow on the table and rested his chin on his knuckles. "Now, how many shoulders are in this room?"
Sora stared at Riku in question of what he meant, but quickly understood and answered, "Four."
"You counted wrong."
"How? There's only me and you."
Riku straightened up in his seat. "Look- let's count shoulders. One . . ." He tapped his right shoulder. "Two . . ." Then he tapped his left. "Three . . ." His hand floated over onto Sora's right shoulder. "And four," he finished with a sweet smile as he wrapped his arm around Sora and rested his hand comfortably on his left shoulder.
Sora's face was suddenly set ablaze as he looked away from Riku. "You are so cheesy, I swear . . ." Riku chuckled and tilted Sora's face back towards to press a sweet kiss to his lips. Sora pulled away first, dismaying Riku at first until the younger one rested his head against his. They smiled at each other and sat together, content.
Until Riku opened his mouth and said, "I'm not letting you go until you finish your homework. Get to it." It was times like these when Sora was reminded that he hated Riku just as much as he loved him.
Still have six minutes in my class. Hehe. Reviews are loved as always!
