Riku finally got home really late that night, at around 1:30. He crawled in threw his window, only to be met by his dad and a couple of the mansion guards.
"Riku Fujimoto! Where were you just now?! How long have you been gone?!" His dad asked.
"Um… I… was just…" Riku tried to say.
"You know you're not supposed to leave this house unless you have my permission and someone with you! Neither of which you had!" His dad said. "As punishment, I took all electronics out of your room! Give me your phone!"
"No!" Riku yelled. "I am almost 18 years old! I'm not a child! I don't have to listen to you!"
Riku's father glared a bit and pinned Riku against the wall and took the phone out of his pocket. "I'll be taking this! Don't even think of trying to get it back either! I'm locking it in my safe!"
"You can't do this!" Riku yelled.
"I am your father; I can do whatever I want!"
"If you were half the father a good father would be-" Riku started, but was cut off when he felt a sharp blow strike the side of his face. "You son of a bitch!" He yelled and was about to tackle his dad and beat him up when to guards ran up and held one arm each.
"You always were a little hot-head!" His dad said as went walked up to Riku. Then, he gave him a good punch in the stomach which caused Riku to fall to his knees in pain.
"Bastard!" Riku said. This merely earned him a kick in the stomach.
"Have respect for your elders, you ungrateful piece of shit!"
Riku just decided to give it a rest. "Yes, father." He said as he bowed his head.
His father then walked out of the room with the guards and left Riku alone. Riku got up while clutching his stomach and landed on his bed.
Luna then came through the dog door that had been put on his door when they got Luna and went over to the bed and jumped up on it. She whined a little in sympathy for her owner and licked his face where his father had slapped him like a mother would kiss if her baby had a bruise or something.
Riku slightly pet Luna's head and whispered a 'thank you' before he sat up. "What am I going to do, Luna? If I can't ever sneak out again, I won't ever see Sora again. He's the only real friend I've ever had."
Luna looked a little hurt.
"Except you, Luna."
Luna put her head back down and continued to listen to Riku.
"And without my phone, I won't be able to call him and tell him that I can't see him anymore." Riku laid on his back and looked up at his ceiling. "Oh, what am I going to do?"

Meanwhile, Sora just got back to his place with his dad, Roxas, and Axel. When they went in the house, they were surprised to see that Sora's mother was still awake.
"Hello!" She greeted. "Did you boys have a nice time?"
"Yeah!" Sora said. "I met someone new!"
"Oh, really?" Sora's mom asked. "What were they like? Did they treat you nicely?"
"Yes!" Sora said. "I can't wait until tomorrow night! He said he was going to come again and I can't wait to see him!"
"I think that it's great that you made a new friend!" His mom said.
"And maybe potential boyfriend, huh?" Axel teased.
"Oh, shut up!" Sora said.
--
The next night, Sora went back to Western's Barn, but all night, he did not see Riku anywhere. When the club announced that it was going to be closing soon, Sora's heart broke into a million pieces. 'Where could he be? He promised that he'd be here!' Sora thought, sadly.
--
Riku's father was sitting on the huge chair in front of the fireplace in the library reading a book. He was in his pajamas and had a robe on while putting his legs on the footrest in front of the chair. (A/N: Typical rich person in their mansion scene!)
Suddenly, one of the butlers walked in and said, "Master Fujimoto?"
"Yes?" He asked.
"Your son requests an audience with you."
"Has he calmed down?"
"Quite."
"Very well then. Send him in." He said and soon, Riku came into the room and up to his father. "What do you want to say? Do you want money? How much?"
"I don't want your money." Riku said. "I want to tell you that… I am going back."
"What?!" Riku's dad asked as he stood up.
"You can't stop me on this, dad! I've made up my mind!"
"It's about that kid I saw on the contacts on your phone, isn't it?"
"What? You mean Sora?"
"Yeah! That kid got to you, didn't he?!"
"Maybe!"
"This is insane! You go out one time to a no-good country club and-"
"How did you know I went to a country club?"
"Sora called your phone and I talked to the kid! You go to that place one time and you fall head-over-heels for this no-good, poor, country boy!"
"I have not fallen head-over-heels for Sora! He's my best friend!"
"My point is… you are never to see that boy again! Do you understand?!"
"No! I don't understand! I don't understand you at all! You're always telling me I should be happy with what I've got, but I'm not and it's because of you! You never gave me anything I wanted! I wanted a friend! Someone who could just understand me, and you can't buy those kinds of friends!" Riku yelled. "I am leaving and I don't give a damn if I ever see you again!" He yelled and ran out.
"Oh, he'll be back." Riku's dad said.
Suddenly, Riku popped his head back in and said, "By the way, I got my phone back so good luck trying to call Sora and ask him where I am."
"How did you get the combination to my safe?!"
"Let's just say that you should not leave the combination number on the back of the painting you hide it behind! See ya!" He said and closed the door again.
--
Riku finally made it to the country club, but by then it was around 1:30 and the club was closed. He sighed and thought, 'Wow! I really messed up big time! I promised Sora I'd be here! …Talk about making promises that you can't keep.'
All of a sudden, Riku's phone rang and he answered it. "Hello?"
"Riku? Is it… you this time?" Sora's voice asked.
"Yes, Sora. It's me. Listen… I am so sorry about not being here tonight. I really am, but my dad found out about last night and gave me the punishment that I'll never forget. I'm at the barn now, but… it looks like you're not here, so…"
"Don't be so sure about that." Sora said from the other end of the phone and Riku could swear that he heard him as if Sora was standing right behind him also.
"Huh?" Riku asked.
"Look behind you." Sora said.
Riku looked and saw Sora standing there with the phone to his ear. Riku and Sora both closed their phones and Riku said, "Sora… I'm…I'm so sorry! I promised you I'd be here and I…I-"
Sora went up to Riku and hugged him. "You don't have to apologize, Riku. I understand. I'll admit that I was a little disappointed, but I understand now."
Riku hugged Sora back and sighed deeply. 'What is this feeling?' Riku thought. Suddenly, he's father's voice rang in his head and it said, "you fall head-over-heels for this no-good, poor, country boy!". 'Could he have actually been right?' Riku thought. 'No! That's impossible! You can't fall in love with someone in one day!'
"Riku?" Sora asked as he pulled back from their embrace, breaking Riku out of his thoughts.
"Yes, Sora?"
"So, did you like… run away or something?"
"Yeah."
"So, you don't have anywhere to go?"
"…Not really. I guess I didn't think of that." Riku said and laughed, sheepishly.
"No problem. You can come stay with me."
"You sure? I mean… would your parents be alright with that?"
"I'm sure they won't mind." Sora said with a kind smile. "They're really kind-hearted people. I'm sure they'll love you and let you stay."
"…If you're sure, Sora, but… I really don't want to be a bother."
"It's no trouble." Sora said. "Come on! My home isn't far from here! Let's go!" He said as he took Riku's hand and led him down the street and around the corner. Finally, after a few houses, they got to Sora's house.
It wasn't much, just a simple two-floor house that looked only a decade old at the most. The house was painted a light blue with a black roof. The windows all had curtains in them and all the lights were off. Probably from it being so late and everyone in the house was asleep, Riku figured.
"Come on!" Sora said as he led Riku up on the porch and inside the house. Sora opened the front door slowly and crept into the house with Riku right behind him. Although, once Sora shut the door, the light turned on, making both Sora and Riku scream.
"Sora, where have you been?" His mother asked.
"I was out by the club. What are you doing up so late?"
"Doing what? What were you doing there?" She asked, completely disregarding Sora's question.
"I was just there."
"…Who's he?" She asked as she pointed at Riku.
"Oh right! Mom, this is the friend I told you that I met last night, Riku. Riku, this is my mother, Amaya."
"Nice to meet you, Riku." She said. "Although… what are you doing here at this late hour? Won't your parents be worried about you?"
"No." Riku said. "They don't give a damn anymore!"
"What he means is… he ran away from home because he doesn't want to be with his family anymore. I was wondering… well, more like hoping that… he could… you know… stay here?"
"Stay here? But… Sora… he's got his own family."
"If I may say, ma'am… they're not much of a family. I think I'd probably like it here better. I mean… with everything that Sora has told me about you, you seem like a great family!" Riku said.
"Well… I don't want to keep you from your real family."
"Please, mom!" Sora pleaded as she gave his mom the 'puppy eyes' treatment. "Please! I don't want Riku to stay with that awful family of his and continued to be forced to do things he doesn't want to! Please, ma! Please!"
Amaya caved and said, "Oh, what's the use? Welcome to the family, Riku!"
"Thank you, ma'am!" Riku said, happily.

-Squeal- I was going to add more to this chapter, but I thought… nah! I'll add more later! I really can't wait until Sora and Riku actually admit that they like each other and get together! I was going to do that in this chapter, but I then I figured that it would be too soon since this is only the second chapter! But man, I can't wait!
REVIEW PLEASE!!
