Chapter 1

Riku couldn't help the curious stare he had fixated on the boy that was currently devouring every morsel of food Riku had in his small apartment. Sora seemed unaffected though as he enjoyed shoveling toast, cereal, and anything else he could get his hands on, into his mouth. It took Sora a few minutes to finish eating, but when he did his sapphire eyes were fixated on Riku, returning his inquiring gaze. The platinum blond decided that the silence hanging in the air wasn't getting them anywhere and wasn't getting him any answers.
“So, Sora... why exactly were you passed out in the park like some homeless runaway?” Sora looked down, ashamed.
“It's because I am.” His words were whispered and almost inaudible to the regular human ear, but Riku managed to make out what the smaller boy was saying.
“So, any particular reason why you ran away?” The brunette nodded, still keeping his gaze downcast.
“I was arranged to be married.” Riku nodded his understanding.
'An arranged marriage, in this day and age? Must be an old fashioned family.' The lighter haired boy figured in his head while he leaned back in his chair. “How long were you out on the streets?”
Sora looked up and shrugged. “I'm not sure. Around three weeks I guess.”
Riku looked the brunette up and down. He was surprised that the other wasn't dirty or have an offending odor hanging around him. “You seem well groomed for a homeless runaway.”
Sora smiled and nodded. “I had money saved up, which I used to buy food and pay to use the public bath, but that ran out a couple of days ago.”
“I take it that you don't have anywhere to go?” Riku's words were more of an observation than a question. The cinnamon haired boy nodded silently. The silver haired male sighed heavily. “Well I can't kick you out onto the streets, god only knows what would happen to you. I personally don't want to live with that on my conscience, so for now you can stay here.” Sora's eyes widened as he shook his head.
“I can't. I'll be fine on my own.” The boy looked determined as he stared at Riku. The other raised an eyebrow, unconvinced.
“Are you sure about that? You don't have any money or any place to live.” The boy looked ashamed and looked down. “I don't mind you staying here until you can get back on your feet and support yourself.” The brunette looked into bright aqua eyes, his own showing uncertainty.
“I don't want to impose,” he said softly.
“Okay, fine.” Sora looked crestfallen at Riku's words, expecting the other to shoo him out the door. Instead he leaned forward, placing his elbows on the table as he pierced Sora with his gaze. “In exchange for you staying, do the chores.” The smaller male blinked in shock before smiling and nodding eagerly.
“I'd be happy to.” Riku nodded his head, satisfied with the other's reaction.
“Good.” He looked over at the clock hanging from the wall in the small kitchen area. It was almost time for him to leave for school. With a loud groan he stood up, curious blue eyes following him. “I have school soon, so I have to get ready.” Sora opened his mouth, making an 'o' and nodded his understanding.
It only took Riku a couple of minutes to get ready and grab his things before he was at the door, putting his shoes on. Sora watched him intently before Riku turned to look at the small boy.
“I'll be going now.” Sora smiled at the taller male.
“Take care.” Riku in turn nodded then walked out the door.

Riku was hardly paying attention in class as his teacher went on about what cognitive thinking was and each stage of cognitive thinking a person goes through in their life. The platinum blond, on the other hand, stared out the window, his pen tapping on the lined surface of his notebook as his thoughts consumed him.
'It's almost like a dream. Yesterday seems like such a blur. What the hell was I thinking when I took him in? For all I know he could be some psycho that'll try to kill me in my sleep. I shouldn't have left him there alone. God! I'm so stupid! Why the hell did I leave him there alone!?' Riku hit his head on his desk and groaned loudly.
“What the hell was I thinking?” he said, rocking his head back and forth while he pondered his own stupidity.
“What indeed.” Came a voice not far from him. Slowly he looked up, aqua eyes meeting with the furious brown gaze of his Psychology teacher. The silver haired boy smiled weakly and nodded his head, embarrassed to find that several pairs of eyes were on him as the whole class was turned to observe the situation. “Now Mr. Tanaka, would you prefer to come in class hours in exchange for you to continue to disrupt my class or would you rather save both of us the hassle and keep your emotions in check while I continue to teach?” The irritation was evident in his voice as he stared down at the aqua eyes boy.
“I'll be quiet, sir,” he said softly as he dropped his head. The older man snorted and turned to briskly walk back to the white board, where he continued to write down key points the class would need to know. Riku ran his hands through his hair, glaring at nothing in particular.
'What am I going to do?'
