When Distant Hearts Beat As One

Author’s Notes:
I shall address a review I’ve gotten:

Emperor Norton II
-I am very aware that pregnancy is nothing unique. However, in my AU a male getting pregnant naturally, scientifically, otherwise, is a still very rare, one of a kind, or unique. The word was in reference to Sora, a boy, being pregnant since it’s not an issue men ever have and thus, for him, it is a unique problem. So no offense to you but I won’t be taking the word out of my summary. Sorry.

Otherwise, thanks everyone so far for reading the story! I hope you’ve enjoyed it and continue to. Here’s a new chapter!

When Distant Hearts Beat as One
Chapter Two: Never Giving Up

“I just want to know where you were,” Kairi responded in a slow, deliberate way as she watched her boyfriend move around his bedroom in suspicion, changing his clothes.

“And I told you Kairi, I was at a friends,” Sora sighed, looking clearly irate once he pulled the short sleeved shirt over his head. He began to stick his arms through the holes of it’s sleeves as he continued. “I crashed there because we couldn’t get all the way home. I slept on the couch, then when I woke up, came back here.”

Which technically, wasn’t a lie. He did sleep over at a friends house, even if he did most of his ‘sleeping’ with said person. And the reason they did go to Riku’s house was because Riku didn’t feel like they could get all the way to his. And yeah, okay, he didn’t sleep on the couch--but they did sit on it while humoring themselves with eating breakfast and watching tv. And after he was done hanging out with Riku, he’d come back there.

See? So technically he told his girlfriend the truth.

“And who was the ‘friend’ Sora?” Kairi demanded softly, with a look that clearly said ‘It better not be who I think it is’.

“I...stayed at Roxas’” he replied casually. Okay, so Roxas stayed in his own apartment but most of the time he stayed with Axel--who was living with Riku--so I mean, it wasn’t completely a lie. Or that’s what he was telling himself anyway.

“That’s odd because I called his apartment and he didn’t answer,” Kairi frowned and Sora froze, staring at her in disbelief, before frowning a little, still feeling very nervous. “He usually doesn’t answer the phone when he’s asleep Kairi. And you like to call people at four in the morning.”

She blushed, embarrassed as she stammered for a moment before rolling her eyes and stomping her foot, crossed her arms over her chest and stuck her lip out, her eyes suddenly large and watery as if she might cry. Sora looked at her and laughed softly: he always thought her pout looked funny.

“Don’t laugh! I’m upset at you,” she sniffled, stomping her foot again. “I was worried about you Sora and I couldn’t get in contact with you!”

“Worried huh?” he repeated, looking as if he didn’t believe a word she’d just said and amused all at once. “So worried that you left me drunk on the beach to fend for myself?”

Kairi immediately stopped pouting and looked defensive. “Hey! You’re the one that didn’t listen to me about drinking Sora! And I didn’t just abandon you: I told Axel to make sure you got taken home!”

“Oh come on Kai!” Sora exclaimed, tossing his smelly old clothing in the hamper in one of the far off corners in his room, missing it by a few inches. “You trusted your completely drunk boyfriend with people you have repeatedly said time and time again shouldn’t be given the responsibility of taking care of a goldfish? People that you said time and time again that you didn’t like--and you trusted them to take me home? Drunk?”

‘I could totally blame you for sleeping with Riku if I wanted to,’ Sora thought immaturely, mentally sticking out his tongue at his girlfriend as she looked guilty for a moment before becoming furious the longer she remained quiet.

Which wasn’t long.

“I told you not to drink Sora! You haven’t learned to drink yet--you had two wine coolers Sora! And okay, maybe I didn’t think it all the way through but I thought it would be a fitting punishment since you didn’t take my advice. Maybe then you’d heed my warnings next time!” she exclaimed and Sora looked at her as if she’d lost it. “Kairi, I’m your boyfriend, not your child!”

“But you act like a child Sora,” she insisted and Sora glared at her. “..Sometimes. Besides, if anything, I proved myself right! I told you they were a bad influence and what happens when you spend a little time with them? You get drunk. And I asked Axel to ensure that you got home and what happens? Roxas ends up having to take you back to their place!”

“You told Axel to have Riku take me home,” Sora snapped and Kairi smirked as if she’d won the lottery, placing her hands on her hips. “Riku? But I thought you said you went to Roxas’ place Sora.”

Sora blinked, staring at Kairi with a confused and rather blank expression, realizing that he’d slipped up--but then frowning when he realized Kairi was trying to mess around with his head. “Riku did take me--to Roxas’ place. It’s closer than his and mine so he brought me there. Axel told me later that you’d left Riku to take me home and he took me there: so just because he didn’t take me home, he did take me somewhere I was safe, which is a hell of a lot more than what you did Kairi so back off!”

He’d snapped the last part rather loudly and left Kairi looking startled before she angrily stomped across the room, snatching up her purse and heading for his door. He rolled his eyes and sighed loudly before demanding “Kairi? Where are you--”

“Home,” she snapped, pausing at the door to glare at him. “It’s simply obvious that I or my opinion isn’t wanted here.”

“Kairi, stop being--”

“I’ll call you later, you know, when you’ve sobered up,” she insisted before shutting the door to his room. He glared at the place she’d been standing for a few minutes, registering that he heard someone storming down the stairs and out the front door before growling in frustration, he picked up a shirt that was littering his floor and threw it at the door.

Just because he defended Riku, she thought he was still drunk. He let out a another long sigh before shaking his head. Everything would just blow over--she couldn’t stay made long, neither of them were good at that--he’s just wait until she called and clear everything up then. But he seriously did have to wonder why he went out with her sometimes--it was like she acted more like a mother. Or maybe, a sister.

“Eww, creepy thought,” Sora muttered, making a face and proceeding to pick up the rest of his clothing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kairi continued to storm down the street, some people walking along the side walk taking one look at her and going out of their way to avoid as if they were afraid she would lash out and punch them in the face.

“I was only trying to help!” she insisted loudly, angrily as she continued to storm to--well she actually didn’t know where she was storming off to at this point but she was going there.

“Sora always being so reckless! I swear, someone could try to kill his mother and he‘d find a reason to forgive them!” she shouted, making a passerby jump and stare after her.
“After he just abandoned us and changed and everything, Sora is still defending him like he didn’t do anything at all!”

‘You can’t get too angry at Sora,‘ she told herself as she continued to fume. ‘You never told Sora, what happened so maybe you were being a bit harsh!’

And perhaps she had been. But the last thing she wanted was to see someone like Sora--whether he was her boyfriend or not--with someone like Riku.

It all started back in their seventh grade year--or the end of it. The three of them had been the best of friends since the time when they were younger. The pair had always fought for her attention--which never bothered her really. It was nice knowing that someone other than her parents cared about her so much.

But when they’d gotten to seventh grade, something…changed. She and Sora were still friends, and at the time, she thought they’d be nothing more than brother and sister.

But Riku, well he started to give off another vibe. They started spending more and more time alone, and they’d talk about anything and everything. Then one day, Riku asked her if she’d liked anyone.

She remembered that her eyes had gone wide and her face had flushed with embarrassment…

“Riku!” she squealed, shaking her head and slapping him repeated only his arm, making the boy laugh. “It’s not funny Riku! How could you ask me a question like that?”

“Well I was curious Kairi,” Riku admitted before his laughter died down and he’d caught her hand in mid hit, using her moment of surprise to take a proper hold of it. Her face began to heat up greatly and she couldn’t even look at him, a nervous smile on her features.

“Come on Kai, tell me. Who do you like?” he urged, poking her softly on her side and leaning in close all at once, his breath caressing her cheek.

She began to stuttered softly, still refusing to look up at him. She really couldn’t answer his question. Not honestly anyway. While she’d known that she’d had a crush of some sort on the platinum beauty--there had always been that odd relationship with Sora.

That odd, one-sided relationship, where the brunette just didn’t seem to catch any hints and treated her like a sister instead of as a potential girlfriend. The one that probably wouldn’t go near where she wanted it to.

But Riku…always protecting her, always the one person she could talk to, and those looks--they were same looks she’d given Sora. The same playful yet serious hints that would be tossed up and hopefully caught.

She didn’t like him as much as she did Sora. He was only a crush. But that still didn’t mean that in time it couldn’t grow, did it?

“Riku, I-I can’t tell you that,” she’d muttered softly, nervously and Riku make the most adorable face when she reached under her chin and made her hold up her head, his lip poked out in a pout and his aquamarine eyes seeming to shine. It made her blush just realizing how much she was staring at him.

“Come on Kai. It’s not hard to notice. Sora and I have been fighting over you for years. And…I want to know if I have to fight anymore. So just tell me,” he stopped pouting and gave her a warm, seductive smile. “Should I keep fighting?”

‘Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, Oh. My. Gosh!!’ Kairi screamed to herself in excitement, practically dancing in her head as her mind scrambled for a good answer.

‘Very attractive guy that already admitted he likes me vs. adorably cute guy that treats me more like a sister. What to do,’ she thought to herself sarcastically before bursting into a fit of giggles and squealing in her head.

She gave Riku a shy but encouraging smile before gently replying, “Keep fighting."

And at that time stop, world ceasing to turn moment, he’d kissed her. Her very first, official kiss.

The pair had started going out that very day and everyone seemed so happy for the pair. Selphie thought it was cute, Wakka and Tidus just had the usual ‘guy’ response to such things--she guessed-- and Sora.

He’d been very happy for them. A little upset because, as he joked, he’d probably be the odd man out now since the pair were dating, but happy all the same. And Kairi couldn’t help but feel deeply disappointed by the fact that Sora wasn’t at least…jealous.

But that had only been for a little while. It turned out, being Riku’s girlfriend was one of the greatest experiences she’d had--or at the time, she‘d thought so. He was, by most people’s standards, the perfect boyfriend: popular, good looking, and treated her as if she was the only thing in the world that ever mattered.

It had been pure bliss and had remained that way until the third quarter of their eighth grade year. Riku had just met with Axel, who from the start, Kairi didn’t like that much. It was just something about him…something about his behavior that she thought was bad.

But Riku found Axel interesting and so when the red head invited the pair to one of his infamous parties, she’d reluctantly agreed. It had meant to so much to Riku and even she had to admit: getting invited to a party thrown by Axel was a rare thing: he seemed to be popular solely because he refused to associate with a vast majority of people and getting into one his parties was something that was talked about and envied because the parties were suppose to be that legendary.

And no one else in their group had gotten invited so she couldn’t help but feel special along with Riku that they actually had been.

And that’s when all of her regret had started.

The party was held at a secluded spot on the beach and everyone who was anyone seemed to be there. There were lots of high school teenagers so it made Kairi feel like she was just that more important to be invited to party where the high school teens would attend.

But there had been lots of things happening there that Kairi didn’t like--but had said nothing about. A lot of wild partying, a lot of smoking, something she had never done and would never do.

And there was drinking.

At first she’d resisted for a while, Axel coxing the pair into having something and saying that it was fine.

“I’ll watch you little youngins,” he’d joked. “Nothing’s gonna happen to you, you won’t get in trouble.”

Riku had gone and started but she’d held out a bit longer, until someone got the bright idea to spike the drinks, making it nearly impossible for her to not drink anything without there being some trace of alcohol.

She’d wanted to go home then: she’d felt uncomfortable. But Riku had pleaded with her stay, not wanting to look bad and leaving early in front of the ‘crowd’.

So she’d stayed. And she’d had a drink. One drink.

To say that she was a light weight drinker at that time was an understatement. She was as bad as (if not a little worse) than Sora at it back then and she’d actually had one full glass of iced down Vodka and coke compared to his two wine coolers. (Axel had fixed it for her himself.)

And then it was a whirlwind of events. Dancing with Riku on a pier with two other guys. Stripping down to her panties and bra while screaming and riding someone’s back like a pony, spanking him. (She would never admit it but even she thought it was funny.) The Papou Tree…thing she just never brought up.

And she remembered the tail end of the party. When she and Riku had gone out into the water to swim--or at least it had started out that way.

“Riiiikuuu” Kairi had slurred horribly, stumbling into the water and falling face first into it before rolling onto his back, laughing as the waves hit him. “Come in!”

“Let me take off my…stuff,” he’d slurred back, not sounding as bad but still no where near sober. He became to take off his clothing then, hopping on one foot for two seconds before gravity and coordination got the better of him and he tripped himself up, falling over, making the pair laugh for five long minutes.

“Riiikuuu!” she whined, trying to swim on the banks of the shore with little success. “Come in! I’m booored!”

“Let me--get it,” he rambled, trying in vain to crawl toward her while trying to simultaneously take off his pants. She’d gone into a giggle fit just watching him. Finally, he’d succeeded in getting them off and stumbling on to his feet, he held the pants up in triumph, a huge smirk on his face and Kairi began to clap and cheer for him before he tossed them over his shoulder and ran-stumbled toward her, falling face first himself into the water.

She pounced on him and the pair began to wrestle, Kairi squealing and crying and laughing all at once as she was attacked, the boy pinning her down by sitting on her and tickling her sides mercilessly until she found it hard to breath.

“S-stop! R-r-r-riku!,” she laughed breathlessly. He only crocked his eyebrow up. “Not until you give up Kai! Admit that I’m the best, and I’ll stop!”

“O-okay! Your…the best!” she laughed, her face turning red.

“The best what?” he slurred, trying to sound sly but failing miserably.

“T-the! The!,” she paused, falling into a fit of laughter and trying to breath before she could continue. “The…best…boyfriend!” she finished and he abruptly stopped, pecking her on the lips as she continued to laugh.

It wasn’t until a few minutes later that she’d finally put together that they had started making out feverously, her arms wrapped tightly around Riku’s neck while he was messaging her sides, their legs tangled together now as he laid perfectly adjacent on top of her...

And that’s where her memories faltered. She remembered the kissing. The moans as Riku snaked his fingers underneath her panties and began to insert them inside of her. The shivers of pleasure that invaded her body as after he’d taken off her bra and began to attack her breast, nipping, licking and sucking on her nipples, making them hard and driving her crazy.

The pain that had invaded her body when she’d impaled herself on him. The tears and kisses of telling her that everything would be fine. The pleasure that enveloped her being after she’d gotten used to having him inside of her.

And the fear and anger she’d felt the very next morning when she’d realized what he’d done. What they’d done.

“What did we do Riku! H-how could you let me do that! How could you take advantage of me!” she screamed all at once, Riku only arching his eyebrow at her, looking unimpressed. “Kairi, you’re the one that started riding me. I didn’t force you to do anything.”

“I was drunk Riku!” she cried, tears stinging her eyes. “You knew I wanted to wait until we got older--until I was ready!”

“You where acting pretty fucking ready last night,” he smirked and Kairi looked at him in disbelief. “How could you say something like that! How can you be so insensitive! Riku, this is serious: I didn’t know what I was doing! You took advantage of me and I’m angry about it!”

“For the last time Kai-ri,” he replied sarcastically. “I didn’t take advantage of you! I was just as drunk as you where and simply going with the flow. It’s not my fault that you got too drunk to comprehend your actions but your sure as hell not going to blame it on me.”

“It’s your fault!” she’d insisted, crying now. “I told you I didn’t want to drink! I told you I wanted to go home! You wouldn’t listen to me--you made me stay--”

“You could have walked home,” Riku sighed, unsympathetic. “It’s not like I put a gun to your head and made you stick around. This is my fault as much as yours Kairi so suck it up and deal with it. You had sex. One time. So you can’t act holier than thou anymore because you’ve been ‘tainted’. Get over it. It happens. But stop trying to act like it’s completely my fault.”

“He was such an asshole!” Kairi screamed, making a few people walking her way speed up and completely walk out of range as she continued to think of the horrible memories, no longer walking down the street but hitting the front glass of a Uncle Scrooge’s Ice Cream Parlor.

But they didn’t end there.

They’d broken up immediately after that. And she had never felt so betrayed by anyone. And she’d never disliked anyone as much as he had Riku at the time.

That was, until, Riku’s new ‘friends’ got themselves involved.

At the time, Sora had been trying to help the pair repair at least, their friendship. He was never one to see his friends down or not talking so he’d tried for a good month to get Kairi and Riku back on speaking terms. It hadn’t worked. But in the process, Kairi had gotten an interesting bit of information from one of Axel’s little cronies: Larxene.

The blond bitch had all but gone out of her way to find Kairi, a cruel and amused smirk on her features as she pulled the girl into the bathroom, Kairi standing nervously in front of one of the stales while the blond with bangs that reminded Kairi of bug antenna’s perched herself on one of the sinks, legs crossed, and studying her with those cold, piercing blue eyes.

“I feel sorry for you.” She began and Kairi blinked, feeling nervous and anxiety rise. “Why do you feel sorry for me?”

“So I guess you don’t listen to all the rumors so well?” she laughed, uncrossing and re-crossing her legs, leaning back a bit on the sink. “We all know what happened to you. We think we do anyway. And I have to admit, even I feel sorry for you now.”

“Why!” Kairi asked desperately, feeling fear creep up into her chest and spread. “Why do you feel so bad for me?”

“They may not be saying it to your face,” the blond continued before giving Kairi a very knowing glare. “But we all know what happened between you and Riku that night. On the beach? We’re all talking about it.”

Kairi felt like she could have been swallowed by the floor. Everyone knew about her shameful night with Riku? And they were all talking about it?

“N-no ones ever said anything to--”

“Someone saw you two,” Larxene cut her off and Kairi quickly got quiet. “That’s not what everyone’s been trying to figure out Kairi. We want to know if you broke up with Riku because you guys had sex--or because he tricked you.”

Kairi just knew she’d felt her heart stop, her eyes going wide and her mouth opening agape, all the while Larxene watched her every reaction intently. “…Tricked me?”

“Oh dear, you didn’t know?” Larxene asked startled, gasping and placing a hand over her mouth. “Axel and Riku had a bet--”

“A bet?”

“On whether he could get you in bed or not the night on the party,” she’d continued, ignoring Kairi’s outburst. “Fifty munni was riding on it I heard, though Marx thinks it was a little more. I heard it’s why he was so desperately trying to get you to stay and drink. Cause he knew you’d never sleep with him if you weren’t intox--hey!”

She hadn’t let the blond finish. She’d stormed, teary eyed, to the courtyard of their school. It was lunch hour and she knew exactly where Riku would be: hanging out with the guys of their group right under this big and only Papou tree that grew on the school grounds.

But when she’d gotten there, she’d only seen Tidus and Wakka sitting there with a notebook, doodling their latest strategy for their Blitzball team.

They looked up at her upon arrival, Wakka immediately getting to his feet and taking her by the shoulders, looking at her in concern while Tidus came over, looking the same way. “Hey come on now Kai, what’s up?”

“Where’s Riku?!” she’d snapped angrily and the pair looked at each other confused but answered anyway. “He’s by the outer wall with Sora--hey!”

She’d pulled away from him, storming toward the popular hangout for the students that liked to smoke. She saw Axel, along with Larxene, her boyfriend Marluxia, Demyx and Zexion sitting on or leaning on their designated spot on the wall, the blond getting the boys attention before they all stared at her, starting to laugh, a few other kids joining in.

She could feel tears filing her eyes as she balled up fist, trying to ignore them, focusing solely on her anger at Riku as she spotted wild brunette hair and shoulder length platinum locks.

“Riku!” she’d screamed so loudly that it had gotten not just his, but quite a few other’s attention. He’s looked up at her in a bored fashion while Sora looked like a dear caught in the headlights, him being the first to speak. “Hey Kairi? What’s wrong? Why are you so--”

“How could you do that to me!” she screamed, punching him as hard as she possibly could in the chest repeatedly. “I trusted you. I thought you actually cared about me!”

“A little late with that speech, aren’t we Kai?” he replied sarcastically, grabbing her wrist but doing no other action, simply glaring at her through his at the time, shorter bangs, his aquamarine eyes cold and uncaring.

“A bet?” she snapped angrily. “It was all just a stupid bet?!”

Riku looked at her confused and annoyed. “What the hell are you--“

“She told me!“ she napped hatefully. “She told me that the only reason you went out with me, the only reason you pretend to like me was because you made some stupid bet with Axel!“

He rolled his eyes and let out a long sigh. “Geez, you’re so melodramatic,“ he muttered retorted back in a cold, calm demeanor, finally letting go of her wrist and Sora stepping between them as she tried to attack again, holding embracing Kairi to try and keep her calm, still looking bewildered and confused. “I didn’t do anything--I don’t even know what you’re talking about. And who the hell cares anyway? You claimed I ‘took advantage’ anyway. Not that I care if I look worse to you Kairi. Not after what you‘ve done.”

“What I’ve did!” she sobbed angrily, trying desperately to get out of Sora’s arms. “I didn’t do anything to you! I never even told anyone what you did to me!”

“Uh what are you guys talking about?” Sora asked softly but both ignored him.

“You’re once again trying to place the blame solely on me. I know, now, that our entire relationship was a lie Kairi,“ Riku continued. “ I found out how you really felt…and I know that you were really after him the entire time and was just using me to get jealous.”

She continued to sob, glaring at Riku as if he’d finally lost it until it dawned on her exactly who ‘he’ was. She looked at Riku startled and insulted then. “Riku, I honestly did like--”

“Whatever Kairi, it’s not even important to me anymore,” he replied coldly, placing a hand up to silence her. “It’s just…a little unnerving that you and I had the same idea…you know?”

There was a moment of complete silence between the pair before she narrowed her eyes at him and he only hunched and gave her a small smirk. “You told me not to give up Kairi--and I didn’t. So don’t get angry because I took your advice.”

“You--”

“--Bastard!” Kairi screamed angrily with her memory, hitting the glass again, making the people inside the store look out at her as if she was completely out of it. “He took advantage me!”

And he stolen everything from her: his first real boyfriend. Her first real kiss. Her time with another person--everything.

So she couldn’t help but find it ironic and fitting that in the end, she seemed to have stolen the one thing that Riku had been after all along.

Once she and Sora had finally gotten together the summer before their freshmen year, it hadn’t been hard to keep the brunette away from that stupid asshole: Riku didn’t make it a secret that he didn’t like Kairi as much anymore even if he was civil but more importantly, Sora had picked up on her overall dislike for Riku.

As such, the brunette slowly but surely stopped associating with him for her sake, so Riku wouldn’t have to come around and she wouldn’t have to pretend to be nice or socialize with him more than she had to.

They’d all called fowl, Riku’s new set of friends, Axel being the loudest, thought that she had stolen Sora from Riku. That she was some wolf in sheep’s clothing.

And maybe, in a way, she was--but that’s what Riku had made her--just like him: a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

She’d felt guilty at first--feeling like she was wrong making Sora dislike Riku--but that had lasted all of five seconds really.

Kairi shook her head at the mere thought. “Sora deserved better--he only would have done the same thing to him as he did to me.”

She nodded, sure of herself. “Yeah…even if I’d never become Sora girlfriend--I would keep him away from Riku. It would have been the right thing to do--and I just made things better. For him.”

Recently, she had noticed that slowly but surely, Riku and Sora were becoming friends again. And it bothered her, she couldn’t lie to herself. She knew that Riku probably still liked Sora…but she also knew that he’d changed drastically, for the worse, since he started being around Axel and his cronies--not that it would have mattered: just the trauma he’d put her through was a enough to make the thought unsettling.

She couldn’t--no, wouldn’t think of what would happen if Riku somehow was able to worm his way back into Sora’s heart.

“No, I won‘t let him use Sora,” she muttered bitterly to herself as she hit the glass again, this time looking at her own reflection and completely ignoring all the people inside that were staring at her as if she was completely insane.

“Riku said that he would never give up…but I won’t give up either! I’m going to keep fighting, just like he is! And I’m going to win--just like he couldn’t!”

“. . .Uh excuse us, miss?”

She looked down to see three small ducks, staring at her, all wearing the same outfit but in different colors, the one in blue and another in green standing behind the one in red and obvious leader, all glaring slightly afraid but determined.

“Our uncle wants you stop beating on the glass and screaming at yourself cause your…you know…beginning to scare our customers.”

“Oh,” Kairi replied sheepishly, her flushing with embarrassment as she slowly lowered her arm, pausing to wave at everyone inside with a nervous laugh before placing her hands behind her back and swiftly walking away, the three young ducks and a few people that came to the window, watching her, making her feel further humiliated.

She really had to stop doing that.
