Anonymous Letters

Chapter 3: Hey...

After reading that letter, I get up the strength to stick it in my pocket of my jeans, get dressed, and head home after realizing that he had paid for the room. Which makes me feel bad when I have all the money I could ever need and more.

Arriving home I don't see Namine's car anywhere nor her. So I take my time making my way up the stairs and taking a shower. However, as I finish pulling on a casual attire of jeans and a t-shirt, I hear the front door shut. Slowly making my way down the stairs, I see Namine tiptoeing towards me. "Ah um...Riku did you just get home?"

"Actually I did a little while ago. I take it you had fun enough to stay the night?" A light pink brushes her cheeks and my curiosity peaks. "What did you do?"

"I-It was only me and Kairi in the end. We watched a few movies is all. What about you Riku? You said you just got home."

I rub at the back of my head, "I...met up with an old friend and we talked."

Which isn't a complete lie. I just left out the other minor details...alcohol, partying, sex..

Namine smiles gently and passes me to get to the bedroom. I on the other hand go directly to where I had left my cell on the kitchen counter. Picking it up, I speed dial Cloud's number. On the last ring, it finally changes to a muffled voice. "Hello? Riku is that you?"

"Yeah did you get home okay?"

As he tries to form another coherent sentence, a voice in the background speaks up, "Come on and put the phone down Cloud."

I know that voice.

"Cloud is that the brunet from the club with the stormy eyes?"

The blonde chuckles, the happiest I've ever heard him, "Yeah...I'll see you tomorrow. Just call Sora for me. Thanks again Riku."

The line ends and I scroll to Sora's number. The young brunet doesn't pick up, causing my worry to burn in my stomach. I dash over to the door and grab a jacket. Thankfully my keys are still in the pocket, allowing me to get out the door and into my car. The one place to go is to go check the hotels that surround the club. If he isn't there then I'm not sure where he'd be. Once Sora's found okay I can get back to figuring out who that guy was that I was with...I should have asked the guy at the counter...

The man at the counter had given me the key to get into the room he said Sora and a blonde had booked. As I step into the elevator, another does as well. I glance at him and can swear that I've seen him before. A black eyepatch rests over his left socket. A long black, silver streaked ponytail lies on the black trench coat hugging his lean frame. Intent on remembering this guy, I don't realize the elevator stop. As the doors shut and his form strides away, I remember.

He was one of that men standing in the group at that club. While I know the man I was with had been standing behind him. And he just got off on the floor that I was supposed to get off on.

I stab the button and the elevator jerks back. The doors part to slow for me and once I figure it has opened enough, I slip out. Rushing to the room, I insert the card key and wait for the ding. I push the door open to see the man from the elevator looming over the two figures seated on the edge of the bed.

Blonde spiked hair is ruffled by the elder man while the speechless one next to him is Sora. "What on earth were ya thinkin' kiddo? And you kid, we've been worried sick. Axel and Demyx have been freakin', they thought you were commin' home."

I approach them, "Sora come on, let's go." Sora bounces up and over to me.

I've never seen Sora's brother but that doesn't mean I can't use him for the desired effect.

"Your brother has got to be ready to kill you if he knew you had done this."

"But Riku, I got Roxas to tell his brother Demyx to call him. Squall already knows."

"And what about Kairi, are you saying you're okay with what you did?" Sora bows his head, ashamed.

Hollow laughter echoes around us, causing me to freeze to the spot. Roxas glances at his friend, suspicious. "Xigbar, what is it?"

"Riku was it?" I nod and he pivots to me, "Ya now, you can say that all you want but my little buddy was the one that blew your mind, or am I mistaken? So no more talk like that punk."

Roxas avoids my eyes as he follows Xigbar out. Once they're gone, I lean against the wall, sliding down to the floor.

That guy Xigbar was right. I did too. But when I think about it, my pulse heightens. I need to tell Namine...I have to decline everything Father is going to give when I propose to her.

Sora pulls out his cell, "It's okay Riku. You don't like Namine like that so it's not going to break her heart. I should call Squall. Meet you at the elevator, take your time."

I've always done everything Father has told me to do. Even when Mom was alive I tried to be the perfect son. So why is it now that I want to go against everything? Why can't my brain just accept my fate?

After taking Sora home to Kairi and learning that in fact, Squall was actually with Cloud, so he hadn't gotten yelled at, I head home myself. Sora had admitted that he's always loved Roxas and that he plans on telling Kairi everything. I'm sure he'll come to work tomorrow, only to get his pay check and quit. Sora's not going to give up a good life just for good money. He'd rather live in a box.

So that means Sora is with Roxas. His red headed friend is still with Demyx. Squall is now together with Cloud, I assume, and I can't even remember the one I want to. I remember everything but his name.

I find Namine chopping up vegetables for dinner when I get in. She glances over her shoulder, "Oh Riku, I just started cooking."

"I love someone else and I slept with him. This place is in my name and paid for so there's no need to move, since I did that part of his agreement. But I'm going to tell Father soon and he won't be happy."

Setting the knife down, she turns and smiles, "I know Riku, I'm not blind or stupid. I do too. I'll finish dinner and come get you when it's done. You can worry about this tomorrow." I nod slightly before making my way to my room.

I'm lucky she's here. Always taking care of me like a sister. I'd expect nothing less.

Letting my toes squish into the plush ebony carpet. Gazing at the light blue-gray walls, I'm reminded of him. Those deep stormy eyes staring back at me, full of love. So shy, that spontaneous actions are all that more special. His name rests on my tongue. If only it would turn into sound. Laying down, I stare at the patterns in the ceiling, as if I'm a little kid again. Whether rain or shine, I'll love him...I know that much for sure. Because I always have.
