Confessions and Consequences

Disclaimer: I'm going to put this here instead of at the top of each chapter. Firstly, I would like to say that I do not own any of the characters in the 'Kingdom Hearts' game. Next, most of the songs I use are not mine. I will put the name of the original artist at the end of each chapter where I use a song that isn't mine. Finally, I would like to say that in writing this, I will not/ do not wish to receive any monetary gain. That's it, except please enjoy!!!! And review of course!!!

Dawn. Beautiful orangey-pink light slowly made its way down the empty street, up the walls of houses, into windows. All was peaceful in one particular house. Well, it was peaceful until Riku’s alarm clock went off. Extending his arm, the silver haired boy switched his alarm clock off, groaned and yawned loudly.

“Oh god,” he murmured. “Time for another day of pure hell.”

“That’s a great way to start the day.” The voice made Riku jump. He thought he was alone.
“What do you mean ‘another’ day of pure hell, when were the others?” asked Sora, looking inquisitively at Riku.

Sora was dressed in a loose fitting black t-shirt with dark blue jeans and white trainers.

“Every day has been pure hell since I found I stared at more guys than girls.” Riku had a huge secret, one that only a handful of people knew. He was gay. Well, the han of of people thought he was bi-sexual, because that’s what he had told them. Only Sora knew the truth.

“Hurry up and get dressed, or we’ll be late for school.”

“What do you mean we’ll be late?” asked Riku, genuinely puzzled. “What’s the time?”

“Nearly ten past eight.”

“What?” Riku cried, jumping out of bed. His tight boxers showed off his assets as he hurried over to his walk-in closet, while Sora averted his gaze.

Riku came out dressed in a red body-hugging t-shirt with knee length blue shorts and black trainers.

“Oh, great, I’ll have to skip breakfast. Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I’ve only just got here. Your dad didn’t come back yesterday. I had to use my key to get in.” Sora said with a smile.

After running downstairs and scribbling a quick note to his father, Riku and Sora ran to school.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As Sora walked to his locker he had to walk past the girls’ locker room. As he went past he heard the voices of Larina, Serana and Kairi. That wasn’t so unusual, but what they were talking about made him stop. He heard them mention his name, and he couldn’t help himself. He stood silently by the door and eavesdropped.

“That is a nasty rumour, but is it true Kairi?” asked Larina.

“What rumour?” was Kairi’s response.

“You know,” Serana whispered.

“No, I don’t know.”

“What? You mean you haven’t heard?” asked Larina.

“Serana Whispered even lower and Sora had to strain to hear. What he heard next startled him.

“The rumour is that Sora is gay and is going out with you to try and cover it up.” That was Serana.

“What? WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU THAT?” That was Kairi’s reaction. “That can’t be true... Although..." Kairi appeared to sink into deep thought. "Oh my God, Sora’s gay!!” she exclaimed.

‘Shit,’ Sora thought to himself. ‘They’ve found out already. I did expect that to spread, but not quite that fast. Oh well, at least it’s out in then non now.’ And with that lingering thought, Sora ran silently to his locker.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

At lunchtime, Sora was sitting at his usual table, waiting for Kairi and her friends to arrive. Riku was sat in the corner with a group of his friends. Sora got Riku’s attention and mouthed;

‘Have you heard the rumour about me?’

‘Yes, is it true?’ was Riku’s mouthed response.

‘Wait and see, the sparks will fly as soon as Kairi walks in.’

And at that precise moment Kairi walked in. All friendly banter and all laughter stopped.

“Sora, I need to speak to you alone.” Kairi said.

“Look, if your going to dump me again go ahead, it’s not as if the whole school hasn’t seen you do that before.” Sora was referring to the time Kairi had dumped him in the middle of the auditorium. That was not a memory he wanted to drag up again.

“Sora, it’s about the rumour. Is it true?”

“What rumour?” Sora asked innocently.

“Don’t play dumb with me, you know perfectly well what I’m talking about.” Kairi was losing her patience.

“Do you really want to know?” asked Sora, standing up and moving towards Kairi.

“Yes I do. Did you use me as some sort of cover up?” asked Kairi, her usually sweet voice low and menacing.

“Yes.” That was the only thing Sora could say before Kairi’s delicate hand swiftly descended upon his left cheek, a reverberating slap resounding around the room, and the force of the slap turned Sora’s head. Surprisingly, Sora just laughed.

“Wanna do that again Kairi? Does it make you feel better? You hypocritical little bitch.” Sora said, loud enough so that everyone could hear him. “Yes, I used you, but you used me first. Would you be little miss perfect if it wasn’t for me? You were just another girl before we started dating. Then you became popular, you rose quickly through the ranks. But you got airs above your station. You dumped me three times. And I came crawling back for more. You know, I was more scared of coming out of the closet that I was of being seen as a sad, pathetic straight moron. Because at least I was straight. You know, you are a great actress. But, the part of the wronged woman doesn’t suit you. Yes, I used you. And do you know what? I’m proud of myself. I’m extremely proud of my little plan, but it didn’t work. And because of that, I would like you to kthatthat I’m gay, and you have been officially dumped. You used me. I used you. But the one major thing that separates us is: you need me, I don’t need you. Not anymore anyway.” Sora walked towards the exit, but turned at the door. “Oh, Kairi!” Sora crooned. Kairi turned round. “I would just like you to know that the worst thing that could ever happen to a woman has just happened to you. You have your fame now. But you will be remembered as the girl who warewerewed around by a gay guy. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, I’ve left you for another man!! That’s right. If you don’t believe me, look at this.” Sora pulled the heart-shaped locket that Kairi gave him from his neck and threw it to Kairi, who caught it. She read the inscription on the back. That was new, she hadn’t had that done. He must have done it. The inscription read: ‘The One I Hold Closest to My Heart’. She opened the locket, and the picture in it both surprised and shocked her. “One more thing Kairi.”

“What’s that?” Kairi asked, in too much shock to say any more.

“I started that rumour myself. Have a nice day!” and with that. Sora left and Kairi sank to the floor, crying on Larina’s and Serana’s shoulders.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Riku ran to catch up with Sora on the walk home. They lived five streets away from each other, with Riku being further away.

“What’s up?” was Sora’s cheery greeting.

“What the hell happened at lunch today?” asked Riku.

“You were there. You saw what happened. I don’t want to talk about it.” Sora said, his mood changing swiftly.

“Okay, fine. I just have one question. Whose picture was in the locket?”

Sora turned a pale shade of pink. “I told I don’t want to talk about it.”

The rest of the walk was in silence. The only words spoken were the ‘goodbyes’ and the ‘see you tomorrow's.

As Riku walked into the living room of his house his father looked up at him from where he sat at the desk. Riku’s jade eyes widened in shock. His father was reading his diary. He wrote everything in there. How he felt, why he felt that way, who he liked, hated, loved.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were gay?” His father growled.

Sorry about that HUGE chunk of text you guys had to read through, but I couldn't see any way of breaking it up. And I also thought that it would seem better as a huge chunk because it's all being said without any breaks. And I know Sora is acting a little out of character, but all will be revealed in later chapters. But for now I'll leave you guys to inwardly digest all this. And please review and tell me how I'm doing. This is my first KH fanfic after all.
