Riku looks good with a blindfold...but only if his hair is long. Just my thought. More characters will come out in the next one instead of just these two. Pinky promise! Oh, wait, I can't reach your pinky through the screen...

The sleeping teen rolled in his bed finding it unbearably hot this night and got out of bed then opened his window to get some of the night air. The Central Station Clock Tower in the center of town was lit up wonderfully as he crossed his arms over the window frame and looked around at the darker parts of the city. He couldn't wait for it to be morning so he could watch the sunrise for which this place was so popular for and yawned again deciding he would go down to the kitchen and get a drink. He was already closing the window when he saw someone in a black robe running through the streets chasing small black things that the teen couldn't identify. He leaned out to get a better view curious and in his still half asleep state lost, his balance and gasped before falling out the two story building.

His back hurt when he hit the cement floor below and groaned struggling to sit up. He wasn't sure if he had broken something but the pain made him believe so and before blacking out from the pain he dimly saw the robed person face him and came over to him asking him something as he fought the black creatures away. Sometime later he woke up and when he tried to sit up a sharp pain shot through his back making him wince. Someone was tying something around his back and he looked back alarmed that the robed person was in his room. The person turned out to be a guy now that he had his hood down and he looked at the long sliver strands that splayed over his shoulders and at his face seeing his eyes were hidden behind a black blindfold. He looked about his age so he didn't feel as scared as he should.

"This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been getting in other people's business." The guy said then added coldly, "I had to keep the Heartless from attacking you which messed up my plans for the night."

"What's your name?" he asked glaring slightly that his savior, because he was in this strange turn of events, was a jerk. He wanted to thank him for protecting him and tending to his scraped back then he would show him the way out.

"None of your business." he said and finished up what he was doing then stayed silent for a while. Quietly he said ,though it sounded loud since everything already was quiet, "Riku."

"I thought it was none of my business." he said grinning now that his savior was being less of a jerk. "I'm Sora. Thanks for saving me and tending to my wounds." Riku smiled back a bit seeing Sora wasn't in pain anymore and moved away from the bed as Sora sat up on his knees and pulled his shirt down. Riku stayed in the center of the room and looked around at the random items and furniture Sora had and looked back at Sora when he got off the bed.

"Nice room you have." He moved over to the window to leave out through it and Sora frowned. He didn't want him to leave yet especially now that he was fully awake and curious of Riku's activities.

"Where do you live?" Riku halted his movements and then looked back at him with a sly smile. He held out a hand to Sora and tilted his head gesturing outside.

"Want to find out?"

Sora shivered as he looked at the city below them. They were up so high up on the Clock Tower and he stayed still in one place not wanting to fall off from here or he'd do more than hurt his back.

"Amazing view huh?" Riku said standing by Sora while Sora sat by the ledge. The wind from this high was stronger than from the ground level and Sora hugged himself from the cold but lost his balance yet again.

"Oh!" he said slipping off but Riku didn't let him fall this time and caught him by the back off his shirt then pulled him back to his spot. The sudden movement made his blindfold come undone and it flew off in the wind so Sora caught a flash of green before silver covered his view. Riku turned his face away searching in his pockets for something else to wrap around his eyes and Sora startled him by saying, "You have pretty eyes." Riku looked at him surprised and blushed and murmured thanks. "Why do you have them hidden? You can see can't you? I imagine you would if you're living in a high place like this and fighting those things."

"I….only I can fight those monsters. They attack people with a strong light in their hearts but since must other people can't see them I'm an outcast. So I decided to live here out of people's way but not so far away that I couldn't come back and protect them. Ironic isn't it?" He looked back at Sora a bit but his hair still covered his eyes so Sora still didn't have a good look at his face. "The blind fold helps me live on my own so that watching everybody else go on in their normal lives doesn't get me down."

"But you do get lonely." Sora said smiling at him sadly and Riku turned to face him all the away smiling back the same. "I'll be your friend in this lonely world." Riku smiled again not so sad anymore and looked back over the town.

"Want to head back?"

"No." Sora said and then pointed excitedly to the rising sun. "Look Riku! It's sunrise! I've always wanted to see it come up!" The brunet watched the orange glow light up the city slowly and then held back a yawn after it reached the clock tower and past it towards the vast hills. Riku noticed he was sleepy and picked him up hugging him close to his chest and Sora looked up at him confused.

"It's a warm and safe spot to sleep." Sora closed his eyes nodding feeling it was okay and felt Riku press him closer to himself and his long hair tickle his face before he fell asleep.

Sora woke up to the Clock tower's ringing and it sounded so far away. Why did it sound so far away? When he opened his eyes he found himself back in his room and looked at the window but it was shut and locked from the inside. He frowned and moved the covers off him needing to get up and get ready for school. Ugh, school.

"It must have been a dream." The moment Sora tried to get off bed his back felt sore and he rubbed at it stopping when he felt something there. He ran over to his closet, not a smart idea, and opened the door to look at himself on the mirror behind the door and took off his shirt turning halfway around. There was a white cloth tied around his chest with small stains of dried blood on the back and he touched it before twitching when his mom screamed at him from downstairs to come eat. Sora changed clothes quickly then ran downstairs greeting his mom with a happy smile.

"How did you sleep?" she asked serving him some waffles and Sora sat at the table and looked out the living room window at the Clock Tower. A small smile formed on his lips before looking back at his mother.

"Great! I had a dream like no other!" Yup. A dream he wished to repeat again tonight if it were possible.
