HEY GUYS! :innocence: Did I neglect to mention that Spring is the busiest time of year for me? But things are finally dying down, so I should get back on track. WOO!
Now lets see…I drew a picture of the last chapter! its not very good and its VERY chibi, and Xemnas looks like he might eat someone. But I don't know how to put it up anywhere? (has no scanner and no working digital camera) Well. If I managed to find my camera and make it work and get it on my computer, I wouldn't know what to do with it. -
AND HOLY CRAP Bee, the image of Xemnas driving the Mystery Machine cracks me up. XD
OMG GUESS WHAT. ITS STORY PIMPING TIME. NOT ONE, BUT TWO! See, when I'm bored, I go skim your people's profiles for stories. AND LOOK AT THESE! I'll even bold them so you notice when you skip my authors note. Akane (who is holding Canada at ransom for this update XD) is writing the lovely story Attendance is Mandatory, a Zemyx Cinderella parody. Hilarious. AND Kiki is writing Hello, Axel! An AU AkuRoku where an Axel-hating Roxas stars opposite Axel in Hello, Dolly! Brilliance. AND BOTH ARE FAST UPDATES! Go read them. Now.
AND this is for Earth Day…:angelic smile: Pretend it's April 22nd people!
What If…
Sora loved Earth Day and made Riku help him
volunteer against his will?
((as suggested by the darling Zesty))
"Morning Sora," Riku mumbled groggily as he sat down at the kitchen table in their apartment for his breakfast of toast and coffee.
"Good morning Riku!" Sora said cheerily as he dug into his pancakes. Riku smiled softly and lifted the paper, skimming the headlines. However, after a few minutes passed, Riku sensed that Sora was still staring at him. He peeked around the edge of the paper.
Oh no, Riku thought as he saw the 'innocent' look on Sora's face. He has the 'I-have-something-special-and-potentially-life-threatening-that-doesn't-involve-sex' look in his eye again… Riku shuddered as he remembered the last time Sora had that look in his eye. Sora had decided he would spend the entire day gluing magnets to himself so he could bond with the refrigerator. He still had a scar on his forearm from when Riku had to rip one off.
"Yes Sora?" Riku asked tentatively.
"Do you know what day it is, Riku?"
Riku thought for a moment before glancing at his newspaper. "April 22nd?"
"Which is…?"
Riku skimmed more of the paper's headlines. Earth Day…Shit. "Sora, I am not planting 50 trees like last year. I couldn't get out of bed for a week."
"You're saying that like it's a bad thing," Sora said, winking.
Riku rolled his eyes. "I was sore from planting trees, Sora. There's a difference. No trees."
"But we have to help the environment!" Sora said, pouting.
"No. Trees."
Sora frowned. "What if we volunteer in a way that doesn't involve trees?" he asked.
Riku mentally ran through the possibilities. Seeing no loophole, he sighed. "…Alright."
Sora squealed as he leapt from the table, kissing Riku on the cheek. "Thanks, Riku!" He then ran into their room to get ready to leave.
--((wo0t))--
"Sora."
"Hmm?"
"This is a highway." Riku stared blankly as the two stood beside the edge of the busy road near their group of voluneers.
"So?"
"So doesn't Earth Day involve…nature?"
"Sure!" Sora said cheerily as he reached into the pile behind him and the others, pulling out two pokers and trash bags. "We're going to clean up litter!"
Riku groaned inwardly. "Of course we are." Slowly, Riku began to spear trash with his poker and place it into his trash bag. This isn't…that bad. Sure, it's disgusting, but we're helping the environment. Riku glared as a passing car nonchalantly dropped a pop can out the window. Great.
"Riku?"
"Hmm?" Riku asked as he turned around, pulled out of his thoughts.
"What's this?" Sora said, brandishing a white cylindrical object with a string attached on the bottom of his poker.
Riku's eyes widened. "Nothing, Sora. Just trash. Throw it away."
"But-"
"Throw it out Sora."
"Riku, tell me!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Riku, what is i—"
"It's a tampon!" Riku exclaimed loudly. A few volunteers nearby stared at him. "Now throw it out."
"Oh." Sora said as he threw it out. A few moments of silence passed. "What does it do?"
Riku facepalmed. "I'll tell you later, Sora, alright?"
Sora nodded, silently continued his work.
Riku slowly cleared his area of trash. Disgusting, he muttered as he picked up item after item. Hold on, is that—
"Ew," Riku muttered as he speared a used condom on the bottom of his poker. "Why the hell would someone have sex on the side of the road?" he continued, more to himself.
Sora, unfortunately, heard him. "Many reasons Riku! Don't you remember that one time it was hot and the air conditioner was broken so we—"
"Yes, Sora, I remember," Riku said quickly, cutting him off before more people stared at him. As if this could get any worse, he thought darkly.
At that moment, the overcast sky flashed and cracked with thunder, sending a bucket of rain upon them. Riku glared at the skies above, deftly tying his trash bag. "Come on, Sora," he muttered, throwing his bag on the pile.
"Riku its only rain—"
"And you're holding a metal poker," Riku muttered as he discarded of his and Sora's remaining supplies and headed for the car. "It's time to go."
"Alright," Sora conceded, letting himself be pulled away to the car. As soon as they reach the car, Sora looked down, shielding his expression behind his soaked hair. "Are you mad at me Riku?"
Riku turned, surprised. "Why would I be mad?" He turned slowly, pushing Sora's drenched hair out of his face and pulling him closer.
"Because we're on the side of the highway in the rain, cleaning up trash…"
"So? We're helping nature," Riku explained. "That's what you wanted right?"
Sora grinned. "Right! It's not like we're going to melt."
"Of course not," Riku whispered as he ghosted his lips across Sora's. "Not from rain, anyway…" Sora pushed upward, closing the miniscule gap between them. He pushed Riku up against the car, smirking into the kiss. Riku groaned in surprise, water from the wet car seeping into his clothes. He found that he didn't mind that passing cars honked as they passed, or that they were both going to get colds from kissing in the rain.
Sora pulled back, smirking as Riku tried to follow. "So…"
"So?"
"What does a tampon do?"
Riku laughed, ruffling Sora's soaked hair. "Get in the car, you nut. We're going to need showers…"
Sora smirked and jumped into his seat.
