Author's Note: Two chapters in just a matter of days, I'm on a roll! Don't expect this often though, I get bored pretty quickly, I'm known to be a quitter. But I shall continue this story and not give up like I have with soooo many others. Anywho, here's a repeat of the poll between Roxas and Riku, Roxas won! Yay! Riku will have to live with his one sided feelings and get over our favorite brown haired, keyblade wielding boy. Yup, now onto the story!
Warning: BoyxBoy, don't like? Don't read! Kairi bashing, if you like her, sorry... plus, small amounts of cursing
Disclaimer: My plan to steal Kingdom Hearts is still underway... but as of yet, no it's not mine
Story Start:
Sora's P.O.V.
The chocolate haired boy rolled to his side, the damp night air making his nose tickle and breath short from the humidity. Kairi found him earlier, he passed out on the beach. Doctors say it's exhaustion but that's a load of bull. Sure, his sleeping habits have changed and it's not a peaceful sleep anymore but he still was sleeping. His mother seemed to nearly have a panic attack when the hospital called, at least, that's what Kairi said. Kairi said a lot of things actually but Sora found himself not listening to a word of it. Riku had one thing right, she does talk way to much and the tanned boy thought of telling her so but he stayed silent. Riku... he needed to talk to him, about him and Roxas.
"Roxas..." Sora spoke into the air, liking the way his name echoed off the bland white walls of the hospital. He really wished he wasn't here, he definitely wasn't going to get any sleep in this place. The walls were too plain, the air was too sticky, and it was much too quiet. Why did his mother want him to stay here when he was perfectly fine? He passed out because he was called by Roxas, not because he was tired. Try explaining that one to the doctors though. Riku didn't even visit him either, Kairi & the others did. Heck, Tidus even stopped in for a few seconds before he ran off screaming about fencing lessons or something. The blue eyed boy let out a heavy sigh, head rolling to the side where get well soon gifts laid in place. He wasn't even sick but as soon as Kairi called everybody they brought something or other. Maybe she never called Riku... that would explain why he didn't come.
"Psst. Sora!" A stage whisper made the brunette jump and look over at the window. Riku stood there, chest bare and hair damp. Sora frowned, pink lips bitten in slight confusion. Why was Riku here now and not earlier during visiting hours? He stood up and let the thin sheet fall limply to the floor. Well, speak of the devil and he shall come was the saying right? The tanned boy opened the window with a squeak, watching as Riku climbed in with that cat like grace he mastered. But now that Sora's seen Roxas fight as well, he must admit that Roxas possessed a much swifter, eloquent way of moving that made Riku look clumsy in comparsion. Still, Sora wished he could move like that instead of the brash and hasty style he has. "Heya Sora." Riku grinned almost like the chesmire cat he met in Alice's world, making Sora wonder what exactly the jade eyed man had up his sleeve.
"What are you doing here Riku?" Sora's tone was a little harsher than he meant it to be but the silver haired man shrugged it off, pulling the brunette into a hug. Sora frowned, instantly feeling the awkwardness of Riku being half dressed and hugging him. He pushed him back, watching Riku's smile fall slightly. "Seriously, if you wanted to see me you could just come during the day like a normal person." Riku bit his lip, his eyes avoiding the blue ones that stared at him with intensity. "Why didn't you come Riku? It hurt when everybody but my best friend," Riku flinched before looking back up at Sora, "came to visit me." Riku let out a sigh and walked over to Sora's bed, jumping onto it carelessly.
"I'm sorry..." Sora snorted and went over to Riku, settling in next to the older boy. "Sora... we need to talk." Yet again, the tanned boy snorted knowing that was a huge understatement. He still needed to ask about Kairi and Roxas. "Kairi and I broke up, as you know but I never told you why." Sora nodded, waiting for him to continue. "She found out that-that there's somebody else who I like more than anyone... even her." The brunette's eyes went wide, Riku liked someone else? Who? Was it Selphie? "But I think they love someone else. They obsess over this person even though they could never be together, it goes against everything humane but they don't care. They love him, but not the person they been with for all their life, they don't love the person who so full heartily loves them." Sora frowned, feeling how deeply Riku loved this person and upset that whoever it was didn't love him back.
"Who is it Riku?" Sora questioned, watching Riku shift closer to his side. Riku bit his lip worriedly then let out a stressful sigh. He then turned his pained jade eyes to ones of blue.
"You. It's always been you." Sora jerked back, taking in Riku's confession with confusion. Him? But... he never said, never hinted... no, he has gave him plenty of hints. He just never noticed them like he does now. The constant sleepovers that ended up with them sleeping in the same bed, the fighting matches where Riku would lose whenever Sora took his shirt off, the way his eyes always followed his form, the reason he hated Roxas with his whole being just because Sora felt a bond to the Nobody... how did he not see it before? It was so obvious... "I figured you wouldn't of noticed. Your mind has been stuck on that Nobody ever since you saw the damn thing." Riku spat, speaking as if Roxas was an it and not a human. Sora scooted away, anger starting to form in his chest. "I mean seriously Sora, Roxas is you! It's practically like you're in love with yourself! You can never be together Sora! Roxas is gone and he can't come back!"
"Riku, shut up." Sora's voice was cold, his eyes blank. Riku winced and slammed his lips together. Riku paused then reached out to the brunette boy but Sora slapped his hand away, making Riku frown.
"Sora..."
"Leave. Now." Sora grounded out, trying to fight back his screams of anger and hurt. Riku stayed still, not listening to his best friend. "Riku! I want you to leave! Now!" The jade eyed man closed his eyes, before nodding slightly. He stood up, glancing at Sora one last time, then jumped out of the window leaving the tanned boy alone in the sticky, bland room. Tears began to fall, soaking into his shirt as he curled into himself. "Roxas..."
Roxas's P.O.V.
The blonde walked in the never ending dark, scanning for some sort of light or sound. Ever since Sora left, all memories stopped repeating making the blackness return once more. But, as before, the blonde didn't mind. He felt a sort of calm here, a place where no memories haunted him and no one betrayed him. The darkness was one place the blonde could always venture without feelings getting in the way. It was his sanctuary, his one place of peace. Suddenly Roxas felt a droplet hit his cheek, making him lick it once it reached his mouth. The blue eyed boy frowned, tasting a tint of salt in the rain droplet. That wasn't normal... Roxas looked up, rain began to pour faster and harder. He squinted into the blackness, when a deep sadness crashed into the blonde and instantly he knew. Sora was hurt, Sora was crying, and Sora needed him now.
