~ABC~ Pt.5

R: Rain

Of course Riku would be the one to sit on the edge of the dock while it's pouring outside. I think, watching my best friend from my bedroom window. Should I go convince him to come inside…? Sighing, I get up from my unmade bed, scoping the room for my shoes, socks, and umbrella. Glancing outside again, I realize an umbrella would be pointless in this violent weather. So instead I pinpoint my socks and put them on, jumping around to accompany them with my least favorite pair of vans.

By the time I get outside, the weather has done nothing but gotten worse, but I still work my way toward my silver-haired friend, thinking of what I'm going to say to this insane masochist. I get distracted however when my feet feel wet; didn't I put on shoes? Looking down, I realize the water has seeped through my shoes and socks, and I feel relieved that I put on these vans as wet sand sticks to the sides of them and get inside the shoes themselves.

My steps make a soft 'thump' as I walk down the wooden dock. Riku doesn't hear me, or at least I don't think he does, because he doesn't turn around or move at all for that matter. Looking around, I shiver involuntarily; it's somewhat terrifying out here with the sea raging all around you and splashing you even from your place above it. The sky is ominously dark and grey, but Riku isn't looking up. I can't see his face, but I just know he's looking straight ahead, probably thinking too much, as usual.

Sighing gruffly, I finally ask, "Riku, what the hell are you doing out here?" He's absolutely soaked to the bone, clad in a light, grey hoodie and blue jeans with his hair plastered flat and shimmering.

He turns around as if surprised and responds, "I could ask you the same thing."

"I came out here because of you, idiot. Come inside before you get sick." I say, glaring at his cluelessness.

He doesn't reply for a couple moments, turning back to the ocean as if soaking up the last few moments with it. Then he gets up with a grunt and joins me where I stand. "Alright," he says. His face is so calm and serene, despite the cold, as if he feels perfectly at home in this stormy, disastrous weather. I realize he probably does.

"You idiot," I say, rolling my eyes slightly. But I still take his hand and stalk off with him tripping slightly behind me, fighting past the rain to take my silverette inside and force him into the shower before he gets a cold.

Why do I love this idiot?

S: SpongeBob

"Are you ready kids?" the T.V. exclaims; it's 9 A.M. on a bright Saturday and out of some cruel twist of fate, Riku and Sora ended up babysitting (you guessed it) Axel and Roxas for the day while their mothers take a trip to Vegas.

Sora and Riku sit next to each other on the couch, both rather exhausted (for reasons your imagination can easily guess) despite the 'long, wholesome night of sleep' they were able to get last night. As usual, Axel and Roxas pay them no mind, giggling and singing along with the SpongeBob theme song. As Sora becomes more aware of his house being invaded by two children, and the fact they are watching cartoons, he raises one eyebrow; when exactly was the last time he watched SpongeBob? It's a classic! Leaning onto Riku's shoulder, he amusedly watches the show while Riku watches him curiously.

Smirking slightly, Riku looks to the T.V. like his lover, absentmindedly thinking about all the times Sora and himself would watch this show despite being teenagers when they were bored. Heh… Sora would just explode in laughter at the silly jokes and dark humor the show entailed.

"Uh… Patrick? You just ate it," SpongeBob from the T.V. says, causing Axel to snicker, "I would just burn him," and Roxas giggles in reply, "You just like burning things."

"Shut it, Roxy," Axel pouts. Sora snorts and Riku smirks. By the end of the show, all of them are laughing, and when the T.V. cries, "SpongeBob: coming up next on NICKELODEON!" they all cheer, all snuggled up together on the couch.

"Does anyone want popcorn?" Sora asks, grinning up at Riku. He looks to the Axel and Roxas for an answer, the blonde of course being in Axel's arms as if he's a teddy bear.

"Naaaah," replies Riku for the kids, "We wouldn't want you to miss the start of the show."

Sora grins, turning and kissing Riku's jaw to show his appreciation. Axel and Roxas watch the scene in awe before Axel asks Roxas quietly, "Why don't you do that?"

Roxas blushes, stuttering slightly, "I-I'm not your boyfriend…"

Axel rolls his eyes and declares, "One day, I'll fix that problem." If it's possible, Roxas's face becomes redder and he scowls, ordering, "Whatever, just watch SpongeBob already."

T: Tripped

Have you ever had one of those moments where you're so shocked, so embarrassed, yet so relieved you're alone? Riku managed to get the first two.

He was in one of his weakest moments; he just woke up from a 12-hour slumber, so the only thing in his mind was to get up and hopefully find Sora in the kitchen. He felt rather discomforted waking up alone, but of course he'd never admit that.

So he started his way down the hallway, ruffling his hair, trying to get it and the evidence of sleep out of his eyes. Then suddenly, something stopped his feet from moving forward; it was the floor which rapidly rushed up to him until his whole body met the cold, hard tile, causing all the air in his lungs to burst out. For several moments all he felt was shock and pain while air rushed back into his lungs laboriously. In the distance, he heard Sora call out, "Riku, what was that?" and the pattering of footsteps coming his way.

A shadow- Sora's shadow- covered the silverette and he looked up bewilderedly, still wondering what exactly just happened. Sora's facial expression matched his own as the silence stretched on, but then the brunette's lips quirked up. Little noises escaped the confines of Sora's throat and that little smirk kept getting bigger, until finally, the brunette burst into loud, uncontrollable laughter.

"I… you… haha! I…can't believe…. Tripped…" he exclaimed through his laughter. Riku continued to look at him as if he were insane until Sora was on the ground with him, tears streaming down his cheeks. Somehow this snapped the silverette out of his daze and his wincingly rose up slightly, resting on his elbow.

"It's not funny," he muttered angrily, glaring at his laughing companion. Sora sobered up a bit, still chortling a little when he replied, "Hah, I'm sorry Riku but I've never seen you trip before… It's not like you." He chuckled some more after that, rising to his feet.

"Tell me about it," Riku said, moving into a sitting position. Sora reached out his hand, offering to help him up, and Riku took the gesture, heaving back up to a standing position. "Ow," he muttered.

Sora cocked his head to the side slightly, looking at him strangely again. "I've never heard you say that before either."

Riku glared again, cursing at fate for the joke it decided to play on him. "I'm human too, though that might surprise you," he retorted.

"Heh well, I'm sorry," Sora conceded, "So where does it hurt?"

"Everywhere," Riku replied grumpily. It didn't really hurt that bad, but the whole ordeal put him in a sulky mood.

A glimmer of mischief glittered into Sora's ocean-eyes. With a small seductive smirk, he took Riku's hand and walked past him, dragging him back down the hall. "Well, I'll just have to kiss it and make it all better then," he said lightly.

Sora is very good at making things better.
