Well I'm going for a two for one updation special today. XD Without further ado my friends! Things just got a wholllle lot more complicated!
Coin Operated Boy…
Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy?
Riku sighed in frustration as he left his apartment. After taking care of his…..problem, he left Sora unconscious on the bed before dressing in dry clothes and leaving the apartment.
I need fresh air, he thought desperately as he walked down the street. He argued with himself, debating the validity of Sora's feelings. He's a puppet! he thought darkly, he's programmed to feel like this! But why does it feel so…real? I'm afraid to wake him up!
Riku was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice he was approaching a crowded intersection. Just as he was about to step into traffic, a hand reached out and pulled him onto the safety of the sidewalk.
"Huh?" Riku started articulately as he looked at his apparent savior. He was short, with messy blonde hair and strikingly blue eyes. Riku inwardly gasped.
He had Sora's eyes.
"This is a busy intersection, you know," the stranger said dryly, inspecting him for damages. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Riku said, coming to his senses. "I'm just a little preoccupied today is all…"
"I know the feeling," the stranger commiserated, "I just broke up with my boyfriend today. He was a bastard."
"I'm sorry," Riku replied automatically, "Want to go to the coffee shop and share our woe together? I owe you for saving me," he stuck out his hand. "I'm Riku."
The stranger stared at his hand for a moment, smiling slightly. "Alright," he said, taking it. "I'm Roxas."
--((Oh. Snap.))--
"So how bad was he?" Riku asked as he stirred his tea.
"Bad," Roxas said, taking a sip of his coffee. "One, he didn't like my career choice."
"What are you?"
"I'm a lawyer."
"Oh," Riku said in understanding.
"Yeah," Roxas said, continuing, "And so he'd get mad at me. A lot." Roxas showed Riku a few scars he had on his arms. "I'm through with his shit."
"I agree," Riku said wholeheartedly as he drank his tea. Roxas is kind of cute in a sharp, I-could-sue-you-to-hell kind of way.
"What is your woe?" Roxas asked, pulling Riku out of his thoughts.
"Hm? Oh!" Riku said, immediately blushing. "Well," he started as Roxas raised an eyebrow. "I have this…roommate. An extremely off-limits roommate. And he keeps coming on to me, and I don't know how to react."
"Kick him out," Roxas said simply.
"Can't do that," Riku replied instantly, "I'm supposed to be…looking after him."
"I see," Roxas said, "Well you're pretty much screwed then."
Riku laughed. "Thanks." And he's charming.
Roxas and Riku finished chatting and paid the check. They left the café, happily laughing and talking.
"I enjoyed our encounter," Roxas said, shaking Riku's hand again. "What do you say we do it again sometime? Dinner, perhaps?"
"Sure," Riku agreed, heart fluttering when he looked into Roxas' eyes. What's wrong with me? "I can't wait."
"See you soon!" Roxas said as he walked off.
Riku smiled to himself as he walked back to his apartment. I like him. He's human. This is right.
Riku paused as he walked up to the door to his apartment. He sighed as he let himself in. So why do I feel so guilty?
--((To be continued…))--
Yes, yes it's short. But its really a get to know Roxas is fucking things up chapter more than anything. Leave me love! XD
