Chapter Four: I Dare You

 

Riku had been shelving books when he heard a thumping noise. Okay either that's big rat or someone else is in here. A part of him wished it was a big rat. He followed the noise until it stopped right above the air duct grate. Riku reached out and grabbed one of the books. If it was a big rat, then this should kill it. Thankfully he didn't have to use it when he saw that it was just a boy with brown hair. Almost gave me a heart attack. He thought before saying, “What were you doing in that air duct?”

 

“Uh, I was just, um, well you see…” Sora trailed off. How can you tell someone that you had watched him from a window and wanted to talk? That was totally stalker material. Riku had an annoyed look on his face. “Let me guess: one of your friends dared you to come in here after hours and you did it, probably for five dollars. Am I right?” “No!” Sora said indignantly. “Okay for one thing, I don't do dares, and for another, that's not why I came in here!”

 

He couldn't believe the nerve of this guy, and all he wanted was to say hello. Jerk. He thought to himself. Still, he couldn't stop himself from getting a good look at him. Riku was wearing a blue shirt with even darker pants; without the attitude, Sora would have thought him to be the same age as him. Well, in his looking age anyway.

 

“So why were you in here?” Riku asked, the book still in his hand. Sora's face turned a light pink and he looked at the ground. “Um…I…” “Well? Either you tell me why you were in that duct or I'm calling the cops for trespassing.” That caused Sora's head to snap up; he couldn't get the police involved because that would cause too many problems. “I wanted to talk to you.” He said in a small voice.

 

“I couldn't hear you.” “I said I wanted to talk to you.” Sora said louder, his face tomato red. Riku's eyebrow went up in surprise. “You wanted to talk to me? Why?” he walked closer to the boy to hear his response. “I don't know, I just wanted to since you were here by yourself…” Sora had looked down at the ground again; this was so embarrassing for him.

 

“All right. Fair enough.” Riku said, moving back to put the book in its proper place. “So does that mean I can go?” Sora asked. “No.” Riku said, completely missing the crestfallen face Sora had. “Not until you help me shelve up these books. Then I'll forgive you for trespassing and then you can go.”

 

“Is that all? Okay!” Sora said, running over to grab a stack of books and running down an aisle. “Be sure to put them in the right place!” Riku called out. “Okay!” he heard Sora reply. Riku sighed and walked over to another stack, mumbling something about Sora being hyperactive.

 

He was still working on his second stack when Sora came running back. “All done!” Sora said brightly. “You can't be done.” “Well I am!” “Fine, you can do the rest of my stack then.” “Fine with me.” He grabbed the last two stacks and rushed to put them up. By the time Riku had gotten done with the stack in his hand, Sora had been standing next to him for a while.

 

“Hey um…” “Riku.” “Okay Riku, how old are you?” “Isn't that a personal question? I mean you barely know me.” “Sorry but I really want to know.” “19.” Sora balanced on the balls of his heels as he heard Riku say his age. “Cool, I'm 18 by the way. Name's Sora.” It was then that Sora looked outside.

“Crap.” Sora muttered to himself, which caused Riku to look at him. “What?” “I'm sorry Riku but I have to go.” “Why, do you turn into a pumpkin when the sun comes up?” “I wish, but it's worse than that. Listen, I'll come back tomorrow okay? Bye!” “Wait-” before Riku could say anything else Sora was gone. “Guess I'll see you tomorrow…Sora.”

 

Riku smiled to himself, despite Sora's hyperactivity, he was kind of cute. He instantly shook his head at such thoughts. He barely knew the guy, let alone his sexual preferences.

“I need to get out more.” He said to himself, walking back to the front of the library. And get laid.
