Chapter 5
A/N: Ok, yeah, I know it's been long and I know I promised to update more regularly during the summer and I have no excuses!
Except the fact that I travelled to London and after that I was at my summer cottage again and I really didn't have an internet connection there! But, as I said, no excuses.
Enjoy...
Riku felt great. The anticipation and the unbearable excitement made Riku's body tremble pleasantly. He gripped the steering wheel tighter, his leg pressing the gas pedal just a bit harder. Three months. Three months, one week, two days. Over three fucking months! Riku could remember the last time as clear as day.
Riku was so going to enjoy this night. God. Three months.
Riku curved his car in front of The Loup-Garou, the famous new hotel one of Riku's acquaintances owned. And, because of this, whatever – or whoever to be precise – Riku did in this particular hotel would stay a secret, a secret that would never escape the doors of the hotel.
Stepping out of his car he flung the keys to the young man waiting in front of the hotel. He was dressed in the hotel's black uniform and was eyeing his car hungrily. Riku smirked.
"I'll be back at four. Enjoy my baby until then. But even the tiniest scratch…" Riku didn't have to finish his sentence. The boy nodded eagerly, a wide, unbelieving grin spreading onto his lips.
"I-I'll treat it like it was my own, sir. Thank you so much, sir! I'll have it washed and ready for you at 4 AM. On the dot, sir!" The words raced out of his mouth, all reaching the finishing line at the same time and Riku had trouble understanding the boy's excited squeals. As soon as Riku nodded, the boy jumped in his car.
I'm probably going to regret that later, Riku thought, but right now I'm feeling so generous.
The inside of The Loup-Garou was all black and silver. Riku ran his hand trough his hair, before making his way towards the reception. He couldn't help but notice he was turning heads, since all the female population of the hotel's reception area openly stared at him, their red-painted lips slightly parted.
It seemed like the hotel was designed around Riku. Riku's silver hair moved with every step and every turn of his head, like it was liquid. His tailored black suit jacket was this time accompanied by a pair of nice, expensive, grey jeans. The white collared shirt under his jacket had a few buttons open at the top, as the evening was a warm one. His good looks and the natural paleness of his skin made him look like he had stepped out from a fairytale, a supernatural being of some sort, an ethereal beauty.
Riku knew he looked good – and why shouldn't he use it to his advantage?
Scanning the crowd for any women that could maybe reach up to his standards – he always had to have a few new numbers in his phone in case he got bored – he almost didn't notice he had already arrived to the desk.
"Good evening, sir, and welcome to The Loup – " The receptionist started. Riku turned to look at them.
"Sora?" Riku asked, not believing his eyes. In front of him, dressed in a Loup-Garou uniform was Sora, his usually spiky hair matted down a bit.
"R-Riku!" Sora said. They stared at each other for a while.
"What are you doing here?" Riku asked.
"I-I work here."
"You work here?"
"W-well, I need the extra money. My rent went up and I can't ask for a raise. I studied a lot of things before, so I got a temporary job here. Filling-in for those on sick leave and such. Uh, so, what are you… Where is Roxas?"
Riku knew Sora wanted to ask what he was doing there, but probably didn't dare.
"He's having a sleep over at Hayner's. I'm meeting an acquaintance", Riku smiled.
"Oh, right. Oh, Riku, by the way, do you think it's ok if – "
"Oh, there you are."
Riku turned at the sound of the husky, but melodic female voice.
"Here I am", Riku answered, grinning. Quickly looking back at Sora, he said, "umm, Sora, this is – "
"Your acquaintance", Sora mumbled. The brunette was staring at the woman.
And why wouldn't he, the girl was an orgasm on legs, even a gay person would notice that. She had legs that seemed to go on forever, her body supermodel-perfect and a face stolen from a goddess. She was the kind of girl that would make even a plastic bag look like something straight out of a fashion magazine. The kind of a girl that made you hate the mirror, no matter how content you had been in yourself before meeting her. Riku would be surprised if Sora didn't turn straight just looking at her.
"You got us a room yet?" the woman asked, wrapping her arms around Riku's and pushing her breasts against his side. Riku couldn't wait. His mind went crazy, the three months taking their toll on him as all Riku's brain could think of was 'boooobs!'
"One fourty-four", Sora grumbled, shoving the electric keycard at Riku.
"Uh, thanks, I'll talk to you later, Sora…" Riku said, but the brunette wasn't listening, already having turned to some papers that lay before him. The woman on Riku's arm started tugging him away, towards the elevators.
"Can you believe how these people act? And they should be serving us!" she huffed. Riku shut her voice out.
oOo
I feel good, Riku's mind sang. The night was definitely worth having his ears babbled – and screamed – off. God, Riku hated screamers. But nothing could ruin his first time in three months.
Riku silently dressed and glanced at the naked back on the bed one last time before slipping out. He almost skipped in his happiness. Offering the two old ladies in the elevator huge grins, he made his way downstairs. Sora wasn't behind the desk anymore, but Riku hadn't really expected him to be. Why should he care? Seriously, though, why do I care?
Riku shrugged and went to get his car. He wanted to take a nice, hot shower – and scrub everything off. He liked the sex, but hated the mess. Riku grinned; Aren't I poetic? Sorta… After his shower, he'd sink into his cool bed and sleep until he was too tired to sleep anymore...
Even the rain outside couldn't spoil his mood.
Or the brunette sitting in the shelter of a bus stop.
Sighing, Riku made a U-turn and stopped beside the bus stop.
"Get in", Riku ordered after lowering the window. "Fast. The rain's spoiling my seats."
Sora thought for a moment, before sliding in to sit beside Riku in his warm – and dry – car.
The ride was silent. Riku turned on the radio.
"It's gonna be a huge storm", Riku said as he listened to the weather forecast.
"Yeah, I heard", Sora answered, grimly.
"I knew this would happen. It's been so hot", Riku continued. He couldn't stand the awkward silence. And what on earth was Sora pouting for? "You ok?"
"Fine", the brunette spat. Then, just as Riku thought he wouldn't say anymore, Sora continued. "Have fun?"
"Lots", Riku said, grinning like a little boy on a Christmas morning. Riku's brain clicked. "Oh. Oh! Now I get why you're so grumpy."
"I'm not grumpy", Sora complained, but Riku didn't listen to him.
"You haven't gotten laid, have you? So knowing I did, it made you remember how long it's been for you?" Riku guessed.
"That has nothing to do with my mood! Sex is so overrated."
"Right. So you admit it?" Riku smirked.
"My sex life is none of your business", Sora grumbled. "Besides, do I really look like I have time for something like that?"
Riku thought for a bit and shrugged. "I guess not. So you have two jobs?"
"Three. I'm a waiter at a bar sometimes. It's not easy to find jobs that suit my schedule. I still have to find time to grade papers and plan lessons", Sora sighed.
"Which bar?"
Riku's question made Sora blush.
"You wouldn't know it", he said, not looking at Riku.
"I wouldn't? Why not?"
"It's… Well, it's a gay bar. My boss at school would totally fire me if he knew", Sora grumbled.
"Err, right. I guess he would", Riku said, offering a smile that was just a little forced at the edges. Somehow, Riku's picture of gay bars and the brunette teacher beside him didn't match. Sora, balancing a tray in one hand while zigzagging through a crowd of men dressed in leather and dog collars and all kinds of bondage stuff. Was Sora forced to wear stuff like that too? Ugh. Riku felt like puking.
"Oh, crap."
"What is it?" Sora asked.
"I forgot to ask where you live. I just automatically started driving home", Riku explained.
"That's fine. I'll jump in a bus outside of your place", Sora shrugged.
"Do you see the weather outside? I doubt any busses are running. Hell, even we shouldn't be out in this weather", Riku said.
"It's not like I have a choice. I was thinking too much and forgot to give you directions. My place is in a completely different direction. We'd have to turn around and drive for at least 20 minutes and I doubt you want to do that", Sora told.
Riku thought for a while. "I guess you'll have to crash at my place then."
"No, I can't do that…" Sora started.
"Why? It's Sunday, you don't have work on a Sunday, do you? I'll drive you home once the storm lets a bit…"
"No, I don't have work tomorrow, but I just don't think it's…well, appropriate", Sora mumbled, embarrassed again.
"Why, it's not like there's anything romantical between us..."
"No! No, I didn't mean… Fine, I'll spend a few hours at your place then", the brunette grumbled.
The rest of the ride was silent again.
A/N: So yeah, that's it for ch 5.
