Chapter 7: Preparations
Riku got up from the table and went to check on Sora. When he walked in, Sora sat up with a cold look in his eye.
"Sora…we need to talk about this whole baby thing"
"Then that means you know?"
"Yes, and you need to-"
"I cried you know, I sat there and cried right in front of her. Every word that left her mouth had immediately stung me. I knew it was coming, but it was still a shock to me. My body went numb, I couldn't say anything. The doctor just looked at me. She just looked at me and walked out of the room. Hearing those two words flip off of her tongue and dive into my ears were all it took for me to break down into tears. In less than that of nine months, this thing inside of my body will be born and I haven't the slightest idea of how to feel. Should I be happy? Or should I want to slowly die inside"
"Sora, I won't…"
"Those words you spoke rang in my head over and over yesterday. When we were at the assembly and how you ignored the speech because it wasn't possible for me to get pregnant, but now…but now the exact thing has happened because of our ignorance"
"Sora, it's not as if you're alone in this"
"Yes, but it's till overwhelming for me. I cannot imagine myself as a parent, and my being with you, it has never crossed my mind…not even once"
"Sora, we'll get through this"
"I'm not upset because I'm pregnant Riku; I'm upset because I don't know what that's going to do to…us"
"Sora, this will change nothing"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Remember when we were little and I promised that we would be together forever?"
"Yeah"
"And you asked me how I knew that, and then I ran back home, leaving you there for a few hours. When I came back and saw you crying on the beach just sitting there?"
"So"
"I came back, didn't I? I gave you that pendant and I made you a solemn promise. As long as you and I are on this earth…"
"…we would stay together forever, no matter what happened"
"And now it's been nearly eighteen years since that promise was made, and now here I am…with you"
"Riku…this is not something to joke about, and plus we weren't even officially dating when you told me that"
"Look Sora, I can be arrogant, loud-mouth, ill-tempered, rude, crass and horny, but I can still care can't I?"
"I guess so"
"Now get up so we can work on this stupid campaign"
"Do you even know where to start?"
"No, but that's why I've wounded up a few of the local females to do the work"
"So, you're being lazy is that it?"
"No, but nothing's better than a woman's touch…sometimes…well not in my case, but-"
"I get what you mean"
Sora got up and opened the door before anyone knocked.
"Hey guys, oh Riku I got some of the downtown gay hookers that you wanted"
"And why would he want hookers?"
"Sora relax, there's nothing better than teamwork"
"What's next, lesbians?"
Kairi, Selphie, Yuffie and Aerith walked in.
"I guess you can say that"
"Riku, what exactly are you trying to pull here?"
"Nothing's better than a lesbians…they're um…well…hmm…"
"I see, you state your points very clearly"
"Um…Riku, do you know who these people are?"
"Yes, it sorta freaked me out as well. Well there was always something dikish about the four of them, but I could never figure it out"
"Screw you Riku, hey Sora how are you doing. It's been so long"
"Uh, hey…Kairi"
"And to think you two forgot about us, you never even called" said Selphie.
"It's not like we would want to you little brat"
"What was that?"
"Hey guys relax; we're here to help our two oldest friends. Besides with Sora in the state he's in, we'll all have to be very careful"
"What state am I in exactly?"
"Your baby silly"
"Really, and I'm gonna take a quick crack at who told you this"
Sora stared at Riku questioningly.
"I didn't tell them anything, it was Axel"
"RIKU!" shouted Axel defensively.
"Uh-huh and how did Axel find out?"
"Well, he was ease dropping and-"
"Riku, what kind of idiot do you take me for?"
"An extremely cute idiot"
"Whatever, I guess the whole world's gonna find out seeing as how Kairi can't keep a secret no matter what she tries to do, and Yuffie can be a bit bitchy when you don't tell her things and Aerith just seems to weasel her way into finding things out, plus Selphie is very nosy, not to mention pushy. Jeez, no wonder they're lesbians. No guy would want to put up with such crap. I guess that's why girls are not on my agenda. And when you think about it, the four of them couldn't get a guy if they paid him, they have small chests and they don't really have the physique to wear anything sexy" Sora babbled lazily, not thinking about the four angry girls behind him.
Riku and Axel burst out laughing.
"Sora, I'm starting to find this side of you to be really sexy" said Riku while placing his arms around Sora's waist.
"…Riku if you're going to make any advances then I advise you to wait until we're alone"
"And why is that love?" Riku asked seductively.
"Because the four of them are going to go crazy" Sora stated plainly.
"SOOOOOORRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!" the four girls screamed through their teeth, ready to kick his ass.
"Uh, what is it now?" asked Sora carelessly and somewhat annoyed.
"Look you shouldn't be mad at the truth, after all I'm not the one who's single, and I have a boyfriend, not to mention the fact that you're all still virgins. I lost my virginity five years ago. I can honestly say that I love the sex but it's not something you can comment on, now is it? Therefore you have no right to get mad, besides Riku is the one who told me these things, but I can't say that I don't agree with him"
He turned around only to see four angry teenage girls about to lunge at him.
"You aren't gonna hit me ya know?"
"And how can you be so sure?" Kairi shouted.
"One, Aerith is too nice to hit anybody; Selphie is way too overconfident, and when it comes to Yuffie and yourself, you both know that I am pregnant, although…Riku-"
"Sora, baby I think
"We are going to kill the both of you"
"Remember, I'm with child"
"Don't use that as an excuse now" said Riku.
"You know, you're proving them right by acting like that" said Axel plainly.
"Hmm…when you think about it, I guess you're right" said Yuffie happily.
Yuffie walked out with the three girls trailing behind her.
"We'll be back later with the preparations"
"Sora sat back down on the floor with his arms crossed.
"I'm bored"
"Yeah considering how you almost got us killed and then you tried to kill us yesterday"
"Riku don't overreact. After all, it's your fault"
"Sora, you weren't complaining"
"Yeah until I found out that it was a possibility"
"So what am I to do with these guys?"
"I dunno know, ask Riku here"
"I guess if it were up to me, I would use them for the welcoming…thingy"
"Whatever I'll find good use for them"
Sora watched as Ansem left the room. They had been completely alone and for some reason Sora only had one thing on his mind.
"Riku…"
"I didn't do it; I swear that I was here the entire time. Axel put…"
"I want you"
"Want me to what"
"No…I just want you"
"You want me as in…? But Sora you're…"
"Yes I know, but I can't help but feel as if I need that kind of attention from you right now"
"Are you sure?"
"Pretty sure"
Riku leaned in to kiss Sora, when Tidus burst in, dragging an unsuspecting Demyx behind him.
"Kuu-Chan we need to talk"
"K-K-KUU-CHAN!?" asked Sora with a twitch in his eye.
"Here we go again" said Riku while getting up to clear of Sora's wrath.
"YOU HAVE SOME NERVE COMING IN HERE CALLING MY BOYFRIEND BY A NAME THAT OF WHICH IN FACT I APPOINTED, NOT TO MENTION IT'S SAID MAINLY WHEN HE'S FUCKING ME…ME, NOT YOU…ME!. WHY DON'T YOU GO FUCK YOURSELF AND LEAVE US ALONE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY TIMES YOUR PRESENCE HAS PISSED ME OFF AND NOW DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE WAY YOU PAWN OVER HIM WHEN HE'S NOT LOOKING, BUT I CAN SEE IT. YOU…SPINELESS LITTLE PRICK. I DON'T GET WHAT PART OF LEAVE HIM ALONE DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND. YOU KNOW WHAT; SHOVE YOUR KINDNESS BIT UP YOUR ASS AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOU CARE. I HAVE TOO MUCH ON MY MIND RIGHT NOW AND DEALING WITH AN ASSHOLE LIKE YOU IS NOT ON MY AGENDA. SO HOW ABOUT YOU DO BOTH I AND RIKU A FAVOR…GO TO HELL!"
Sora slammed the door in Tidus' face. Riku was too afraid to look Sora in the face.
"So Riku, I'm bored let's go somewhere"
"B-bored?"
"Yeah, I've been cooped up in here for way too long"
"Well…if you say so. I'll wait for you downstairs"
Sora smiled sweetly and headed to take a shower.
Riku grabbed his car keys and went downstairs. He ran into Axel and the male hookers.
"So…I heard about Sora's newfound attitude"
"He's going to kill me before the night is over"
"Whaddya mean?"
"He seems to get ticked off by anything someone does. First he lashed out at me, Lockhart and the headmaster, then you saw how he pissed off Yuffie and the others and he just finished shutting down Tidus"
"Hmm…and yet it seems to be very attractive"
"Yes, but I'm worried about the others who he attacks"
Sora went downstairs after his shower. Riku was on the steps alongside Axel.
"Hey Axel, and everyone else"
"Sora, no one wants to hurt you. We want to be supportive when you're-"
Riku placed his hand over Axel's mouth and smiled sweetly.
"What he means to say is he'll make sure you're stress free for the rest of the…term"
"Hmm…I see"
"Yeah and there will be no reason to make anyone cry"
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, it'll just be a very emotional time when the baby comes" Riku shouted out.
"Well…I guess it will but that's no reason to cry"
"Yeah, very emotional"
"Axel do you wanna come with us?"
"I'd love to, but Riku really needs some alone time with you"
"Riku wouldn't mind, would you Riku"
Axel stared at Riku.
"No, the more the merrier I say"
"What the hell?"
"You two have been acting really strange, maybe you need to get checked out or something.
"Yeah…maybe that's what's wrong" said Axel sarcastically.
Axel and Riku followed behind Sora.
"I'll get you for this Riku" Axel whispered.
"What could I say; I didn't want him to explode"
"So, where are we going?" asked Axel
"I have no idea"
"Riku, pick somewhere" said Sora plainly.
"No it's okay, it's your call"
"But I don't think I should, so just…"
"Riku…pick somewhere" Axel gritted through his teeth.
"Um…well Axel you're the guest, you should pick" Riku said while smirking.
"Hmm…well there are a number of places, Riku you are the best at navigating these things"
"Yes, but you are the coolest"
"Riku since when do you compliment Axel?"
"Since I…well he…I have no clue"
Sora was getting agitated quickly.
"Well…where are we going?"
Sora took his cell phone out of his pocket and walked aside for a moment.
"What the fuck are you doing asshole?"
"Pick something you spiky haired prick"
"I couldn't give a rat's ass where we go"
Sora walked back over to them.
"Where'd you go?"
"I called Demyx"
Riku laughed hysterically as he stared at Axel's expression.
"For what?"
"I invited him to come with us"
Riku pointed at Ansem's face and said:
"You could call this a double date"
"Fuck you Riku"
"Yeah, he seemed more decisive about where we should go; besides he said he wanted to speak with you Axel"
"And…where are we going?"
"To the movies…at least that's what I think he said"
"Ah, so are you two gonna make out" said Riku teasingly.
"Go suck on something"
"So…are we gonna leave or what?"
Sora got in the car. Axel sat in back of Riku.
"Axel and Demyx sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, first comes marriage, then comes Axel with a baby carriage"
"Riku, you shouldn't talk, but it seems as it happened the other way around"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I think it goes like this: Riku and Sora sitting in a tree F-U-C-K-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Sora with a baby carriage"
"Axel if I kick your ass, poor little Demyx won't have anyone to-"
Axel kicked the back of Riku's seat.
"What the hell"
"Don't get angry, it's 100 accurate. You and Sora kept fucking like wild animals out of pure love and lust, you propose to Sora, he says yes, and you find out that he's pregnant with your love child"
"Cut it out you two"
"Yes ma'am"
Sora sighed and rubbed his head.
They arrived at the movie theater to see Demyx standing there.
"Axel, are you gonna be al right"
"Yeah, I just have to puke"
Sora waved to Demyx and got out of the car enthusiastically.
"So Axel, aren't you gonna kiss your lover?"
"Riku…go fuck yourself.
Riku parked his car and followed after Sora, while still making fun of Axel.
"So Demyx, what did you want to talk to your boyfriend about?"
Demyx blushed with embarrassment.
"I…I just"
"Demyx ignore Riku, he's being insensitive today"
"I'm just curious"
"Axel…I'm really glad to see you, it's been a few weeks and…"
Riku listened eager to hear what he would say.
Sora pulled Riku's arm and lured him inside.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't act as if you're not the slightest bit curious"
"I am, but there's no need for us to get in their way"
"I'm just doing it to tease Axel"
"Just don't rush them to do anything"
"Do you think they're gonna make out?"
"If they are, I suggest you don't watch them"
Riku pinned Sora against the wall.
"Trust me, I'll be too busy"
He stuck his tongue in Sora's mouth, igniting it into a rapid kiss. He held Sora's waist. Sora put his arms around Riku's neck and pushed into him hard. Riku's hand moved down from his lover's waist to grabbing his ass. Sora smiled into the kiss. Axel and Demyx walked in. Sora pushed Riku off of him lightly.
"What was that for?"
Sora wiped his mouth and smiled sweetly.
"Oh no, there's no need to stop because of us"
Riku bought four tickets for the movie 'Walking Tall'
Riku handed each of them their tickets.
"Riku, why don't you and I go buy the things while they wait inside?"
"But why do I have to…"
"Just go"
Sora pushed Riku towards the provisions stand. Demyx and Axel headed in without them. They sat in the second row in the back. Riku and Sora came back when the preview started. They gave the guys their stuff. Riku and Sora sat in the very back. Riku bit his lip and put the snacks in the seat beside him. He grabbed Sora and started kissing his neck. Sora didn't try to stop him.
"Riku…what are you doing? The movie hasn't even started yet"
"Relax, I'm just having a little pre-fun" Riku said in between kisses.
Riku deepened the kiss.
"Riku." he stated plainly, blue eyes dully staring into lust-filled aquamarine. "What the hell are you do - mmm-mmmff!" he was cut off by his lover's hungry lips. This time, Riku had captured the other boy's lips in a much harder kiss, making it impossible for Sora to respond to it.
Sora let out a surprised gasp when he felt Riku's thumb rubbing against his right nipple and could feel it harden as he did so. "Riku..."
"What is it now?"
"We're in a public place"
"It's too dark for anyone to see anything"
"Yeah, but they're not deaf you know"
"Sora, just sit back and enjoy the movie"
"How can you expect me to pay attention to a movie when your tongue is in my mouth?"
"Well if you like, I can put my tongue somewhere more to your liking"
"Riku, don't you dare"
Riku shrugged his shoulders and sighed.
"Well, if ya change your mind, you know what to do"
Riku grabbed a few nachos at once and crushed them up, sprinkling nacho bits on Axel's head.
"What in God's name are you doing this time?" asked Sora.
"Well, I'm motivating him"
"I don't think you'd be motivating him when you're ruining his hair"
"Don't worry, he'll never know"
"Riku, you're gonna start something"
"So what, its' not like he's gonna find out, unless you keep talking about it"
"Riku, you never know who could be watching"
"Unlike you, I abuse my authority"
"Well excuse me if I don't go in every place my father owns and act like an asshole. I have respect for my father"
"What the hell did you just say?"
"You heard me just fine"
"Look don't take it out on me because you choose to be a goody two shoes"
"Excuse me if I don't act like a five year old"
"Sora, you're not so perfect"
"Well, at least I have enough sense to know what I shouldn't be doing"
"I don't have sense huh? Tidus didn't act so judgmental"
"Well lemme guess why, oh you were fucking him at the time"
"When the hell are you gonna drop that?"
"When you stop being an asshole"
"Sora you need to get off it, you need to be more like Tidus, he isn't a pushy, goody two shoes baby"
"If you think I should be more like him, then these last few years have been nothing but a mistake"
"Maybe you're right"
Riku got out of his chair and headed for the bathroom.
Sora got up to go home. Demyx and Axel chased after him.
"Sora, let's think about this"
"There's nothing to think about, Riku is an insensitive, arrogant jerk"
"So you're going home?"
"Yes, you two should stay and enjoy your time together"
Sora hailed a cab and headed home.
Riku came out of the bathroom and walked towards Demyx and Axel.
"Hey lovers, what are you doing out here?"
"Well…we tried to reason with him, but he just left"
"Reason with whom?"
"Sora…he left unexpectedly and…"
"That's too bad…"
"You don't care"
"Look, it was a stupid argument. Sora called my bluff I guess"
"Looks like he did more than just call your bluff dude"
"You don't think he thought I was serious do you?"
"I wouldn't put it out of my mind"
"Uh, now I gotta go fix this"
"See you two lovebirds later"
