The brunette sat in Calculus staring out the window at the gym students having a match of soccer, blue against red.
'The Demyx kid doesn't do so well in soccer. Wonder where he's from. They never told us.' Sora thought subconciously writing the notes from the board with the sample questions and answers.
"Sora are you having an affair with that soccer game?" Riku asked softly moving his desk next to Sora's to work together.
"What? Of course not I'm just curious." Sora replied back shyly.
Riku placed a hand on Sora's shoulder. "Hey little one you should be out there. Your good at soccer. Your could show them all how it's done!" Riku flashed Sora a smile, picking up his discarded pencil in an attempt to start working on the work.
A blush crept it's way onto Soras tan cheeks. "Ku I'm not nearly as good at soccer as you are at football." Sora said looking down slightly so Riku couldn't see the crimson color on his face.
{Sora's POV}
'Why am I blushing? All he did was barely touch me… Am I attracted to…Riku? He's my friend though? I've known him all my life and never once before have I felt this way… Why now?' I thought picking up my lead pencil to catch up to Riku in the work.
"Hey Sora…" Riku softly said to me.
"Yea? R-riku?" I replied shyly.
"Do you think I should go out for the team this year? In football that is?"
"W-w-what? YES! You're good at it Riku! Go for it!"
"I think I will only if you join the soccer team though."
"What? Why?"
"Sora you're good at soccer and you know that. You don't give yourself enough credit…"
I just sat there looking at my paper with the equations and answers.
"You're afraid aren't you?" Riku's voice brought me back into reality.
"Of what? Why would I be afraid?" I said a little faster than my normal speech.
"Saix… You're worried you won't be captin this year aren't you? You know he's probably good and you wouldn't be able to take it if he got head spot. Am I right?"
I mearly sat there in silence again as the bell rang. I heard Riku get up and put my stuff in my bag for me.
"Come on Sora… You have nothing to worry about and you know that." Riku spoke to me slowly helping me out of my desk and leading me to my own gym class.
'Riku why… Why do I get this weird feeling when you touch me or smile at me. Why?' I thought the entirity of my dressing for my own soccer game. I was red.
"Sora!" I heard the redhead call after me she was red as well. Though as I looked across the gym before exiting outside to the field I saw Saix the guy I was sure would show me up. He was blue, the brilliant color of his hair, The color that reminded me of the sweet face of my Riku.
'Did I just call him MY Riku? Damn what's going on with me today?'
"Hey are you okay? So-ra?" Kairi called to me again as we were walking out of the exit doors, funny I don't even remember beginning to walk towards them.
"Hehe Yea I'm fine…" I falshed her a quick 'Sora' smile and jogged over to the center field.
{Riku's POV}
'I watched Sora's class play their game in my aid class. The Saix kid is in his class. Sora why are you freezing up?'
"Riku is it?" Someone from behind me asked.
'Hmm? Yea" I replied turning to see the slate haired teen Zexion.
"You like cinnimon spikes don't you?" The slender teen asked slowly walking over towards the wondow I was standing at.
"Heheheh Like? No He's my best friend." I answered back a light shade of pink playing on my features
" Don't lie I can read you like a book."
"Want to prove that?"
"You're of the age of 18, your father owns a photography business, your mother stays home and raises your younger sister. You've had a love for cinnimon spikes since you were kids, and you've known you were homosexual since middle school but never told anyone for fear of being abandoned." Zexion replied. With basically my entire life story.
I simply looked at him with disbelief, shock clear in my eyes and expression.
"I'm supposing I was absolutely correct." He said again seating himself beside the large window.
"How did you do that?" I asked him wide-eyed but turning back to the soccer game.
"LITTLE ONE!" I yelled noticing Sora was on the ground, his body unintentionally jerking.
"Lucky guess I suppose" I heard the slate haired teen say as I ran out of the room, and down the hall to an exit onto the field, pushing myself past all of the players and scooping the small cinnimon hair colored teen in my arms holding him close to my chest I raised up and took him to the infirmary. I heard the kids behind me quietly ask one another if I was Sora's boyfriend, or if it was just friendship, or infactuation perhaps. I ignored them all and ran the limp boy in my arms to the nurse.
A couple hours later
"Riku, you should go on to class I'm sure Sora will be just fine." The woman said gently placing a hand on my shoulder.
"No I'm staying here with him. I can't leave him- not until he wakes up." I replied to her showing her a look of concern and regret for urging him.
"Okay, Well I'm going out for lunch then I'll be back in an hour if he wakes up feel free to sign both of you out." She responded as she walked through the large french doors.
"Come on Sora… Wake up. Please." I said softly to the brunette grabing his small tan hand in my larger pale ones I bit my lip worringly.
"R-r-riku… Please… D-don't… L-l-leave me… I need you…" The slim teenager said to me still not waking from the slumber he was in.
"I won't leave you, I won't. I never will Sora I need you too. I'm here all you have to do is wake up." I spoke softly tears threatening to spill from the corners of my eyes.
I heard footsteps behind me I turned slightly to my left looking just above my shoulder to find Kairi, looking at me with her cyrstal blue eyes full of worry and regret.
"Riku i-is he okay?" Kairi said softly.
"I'm not sure… Will you stay here for a minute? I've got to go get a drink." I spoke to her giving Sora one last glavnce before leaving her with him.
"Yeah…" Kairi said as I was leaving the room.
"Riku… Is cinnimon spikes okay?" The slate haired teen said walking next to Riku.
"I'm not sure… You never told me… How did you know all of that about me earlier." I replied to him walking slower.
"I'm just good at knowing people. That's all."
"Then tell me…"
"Tell you what?"
"Tell me about him."
"Who? Cinnimon Spikes?"
I nodded giving him an answer.
"I can't."
"Why the hell not?"
"I'm not allowed to that's why."
"Who said?" I said my voice rasing from its normal calm tone. I was beginning to get slightly upset.
"I'm not one to interfear with the personal affairs of others."
I stayed silent for another few minutes.
"I thought that since you had known him since you were both children you would know everything that you needed to know about him."
"I meant about his feelings, how he feels about our friendship, if he has different thoughts. If He'll be okay." I replied feeling a single tear slip down my cheek. I ran from the slender teen, got a drink out off the lobby and ran back to my sweet brunette waiting for me.
{Normal POV}
Riku ran back into the room to find Kairi gone. And Sora stiring softly.
"Little one…" Riku smiled " `Bout time you woke up don't you think?"
"Hmm? Ku-Chan? What are you doing here? Wait… Whay am I here?" Sora asked softly.
"You were having those convulsions again. In the soccer game. I saw you from the window of the class that I aid and I ran down and brought you here." Riku suddenly looked more serious. "You were mumbuling about a fire and your mother. I thought you were a orphan Sora."
"Ughhh… Ummm… Riku… Can we talk?" Sora finished as the bell for last block to start rang.
"Yeah after school okay? I'll go to your house after I get the foreigners to mine I'll run to your's." Riku replied running off to a history class.
Sora slowly got up and checked his phone veiwing the new message from Cloud, quickly replying and running off to his own english class.
'Great it's full of the new students. Wonderful. I'm late and I come into this.' Sora inwardly groaned looking to the teacher.
"What's your excuse Mr. Strife?" The teacher spoke
"I had an episode during second block and I've been in the infirmry since then, passed out." Sora answered cautiously.
"LIES!"
"No he really was. I saw it happen." The blue-haired teen named Saix spoke up. In this lighting Sora could see the faint scar across his face in the shape of an 'x'.
"Is that so Mr. Ian?"
"Yes Sir."
"Take your seat Mr. Strife and don't let yourself be late again."
"Yes Sir." Sora spoke taking his seat between Saix and Zexion. Mouthing a 'Thank You' towards Saix.
Sora stared at his desk the entire class not moving, barely breathing thinking of how he had lied to Riku for the majority of his life and their friendship about being an orphan. He just didn't want to burden Riku with his life problems.
Zexion studied the boy for the majority of the english class trying to figure the young boy out, yet having no such luck at even getting a form of his parents from the young boys appearance… He got nothing not even the slightest little bit of information.
'There's something about him that troubles me greatly though. What's going on with him?' Zexion thought glancing at the spikey haired teen from the corner of his eye.
'Why is it so hard for me to talk about myself with him… Ku-Chan… He'll never want to be around me again, if he knows I've lied to him and everyone of our friends.'
By the end of the class Sora had officaily decided to tell Riku everything about his parents, himself and the reason they still lived on the islands.
"Sora!" The tall skinny sandy blond called out to the shorter teen walking into the lobby.
"Huh? Yea?" Sora replied walking over to the boy and the other two teens who were standing beside him.
"You going to take us along with you to your abode or just let us find our own way?" A blond headed boy about Sora's height said in a sarcastic tone.
"Yea you can follow me home, but first I've got to find Riku." Sora said to them seeing a splash of silver in his perphrial vision, turning to see the silver haired teen beside him, his own visitors behind him.
"Come on Sora or you're going to be left here." Riku said as Sora turned to see both Riku's group and his own were already halfway out the door.
