Riku felt more tears start to pour down his face as he stared at the tombstone after hearing what Roxas said. "What would we even do with ourselves without him here..." Riku mumbled a little before wiping off some of the tears before new ones fell in their place. "You know, I honestly think I'm going crazy sometimes, I mean, when I'm alone, I feel him there, It's completely insane but I can. It gets so bad I feel like I could drown in his essence. Especially when I get around some of his old things or things he gave me... You probably think I have lost my mind... I don't even know why I told you that, I ever told anyone that before now..."Riku started rushing through some of the words trying to describe a feeling that he only wish he could grasp and hold onto forever. He was crumbling now just like at Sora's funeral. He had cried the entire day and by the end of the service, Roxas had to pick him off the floor and practically carry him out to a car so he could be driven home. A lot of people said it wouldn't be long before Riku did himself in because Sora was gone. People had killed themselves for less right? But Riku made it through somehow. He was practically dead already, but he still got up everyday.

Roxas also felt tears slide down his cheeks. "M-Maybe he is there..," he whispered. "M-Maybe he's watching over you, Riku... Y-Ya know, they say ghosts always stay until their purpose is met... Maybe he feels his purpose is to watch over you until you die, too... Meybe he...feels bad for leaving you so early...and wants to make you happy again..." He leaned over and hugged Riku gently, laying his head on his shoulder. "I'm glad you have him to look after you, Riku," he whispered. "You need it."

Riku sobbed pressing his face into Roxas's shoulder. "I miss him so much. I don't know what I am going to do if I continue to feel him there when I'm alone. I can't let him go like this, it just makes it all to tempting to just give up and stop living. It would be so easy... I can't even tell anyone, my therapist would just put me on medication say I'm cracking up, I can't play rugby if I'm on pills for anti-psychotics you know that, I am I going to do, Roxas?" Riku asked honestly needing Roxas's advice on this. He couldn't keep living like this, he was going to break down eventually. He wasn't as strong without Sora there anymore.

Roxas held him tightly. "You know he wouldn't like that, Riku... You know he would do anything to keep you safe from anything, including yourself." He kissed the top of Riku's head. "It would make him so sad to hear you say that, Riku... Even though he would love to be able to be with you like you were again...I know he wouldn't be happy knowing you did it to yourself... He knows you and loves you for working hard towards a goal...living life to the fullest... It would make him so proud to just see you play rugby for him... Like he were there at every game...every practice rooting you on with all of his might...because now he can watch over you wherever you go... He can root you on for anything you do anywhere you do it... Because he's always believed in you, and he always will. He'll always be here for you, and so will I... So will my mom... You can come over to talk to us any time you need to, okay?" He hugged him tighter then, burying his face in Riku's neck.

Riku pulled back from their hug a few minutes later sniffling a little as his eyes moved back to that gray solemn tombstone. Riku's tortured aquamarine eyes stayed on the grave for a time, until they finally moved back to Roxas. "Roxas..... This is going to sound crazy, or maybe I don't know... but... umm... Can i come live with you and your mom? I mean, I don't know about your dad and if he'll care, but I don't think I can handle living with my parents anymore. They keep trying to get me to throw out Sora's things, and date another people, but they just don't get that there isn't other people compared to Sora..." Riku explained really hoping it wouldn't been too much trouble for Roxas or his family. He just he needed to be around better people to get better.

Roxas gave Riku a very, very gentle smile and nodded. "Of course you can, Riku. Momma won't have a problem with it. Dad got arrested today for...well, I'll show you when we get back to the house. I'll tell mom that we need to go to your house and get your stuff. She cleaned out the car the other day, so there's room. And...you can either sleep on the couch, or...in Sora's bed in our room..," he told him softly. Just then, Roxas' mother walked up and laid the bouquet on the headstone. "Hey, Honey. How are you?" she greeted Riku. "Momma? Riku's gonna come live at our house... Is that okay?" Roxas asked softly. The woman only smiled down at the two warmly. "We'll stop by your parents' house on the way home. I'm sure you walked here anyway." Roxas reached over and grabbed Riku's hand tightly.

Riku smiled at Roxas wiping away some of the tears that stained his face. "Thank you, Roxas. Really. This means a lot to me." Riku whispered softly feeling his voice a little too weak to speak up anymore than he was. Riku stood up from the hollow ground when Roxas asked his mom for permission. He knew the answer was going to be 'yes', but to hear it actually been said made him feel loads better just at the thought of being around people that understood the fact that he just could 'get over' Sora. "Yeah, I walked. My parents are both a work, but I have my key with me if you still want to get my stuff. I can call them later and tell them I'm going to live with you guys for a while. I'm sure they really don't care." Riku said pretty sure they wouldn't care. They weren't the caring kind, and Riku wasn't either, until he met Sora. Sora really was so sweet, it rubbed off on Riku.

Roxas and his mom both smiled. "Of course," the woman told him gently. "We'll stop by and get as much as will fit in my car. We'll make two trips if needed. We should get going so you can get everything situated at home when we get back, too." Roxas nodded and stood with Riku. "We'll come see you again soon, Sora. I promise," Roxas told the grave softly. "We love you and miss you." They then walked back to the car and got in, starting for Riku's house.

Riku smiled. "Okay." Riku said softly before looking down again at Sora's grave. There was still a smile on his face, but it was sadder now. He kneel down after the other two started to walk away and kissed the grave sweetly. "I'll always love you baby," He whispered softly to the cold grave knowing that somewhere out there Sora could hear him. Roxas was right. Maybe Sora was with him right now, and if he was, Riku was going to find a way to pour his love on him just like he use to. Riku then stood up from the grave and started back after the two.

Roxas sat quietly as they drove to Riku's parents' house. He didn't feel like there was much to say. When they arrived, though, Roxas looked up at the huge house then over to Riku. He smiled. "Let's get started so we can go home," he said softly.

"Yes, let's get going. I kind of figured I was moving out soon. I didn't quite know where, but I started subconsciously moving everything important to me into my room. My parents didn't even to seem to notice," Riku said softly getting out of the car and starting up the steps of the house. He pulled out his key to the house and opened the door for Roxas and his mom before showing them up to his room. Roxas already knew where Riku's room was, but it had been a long time since Roxas had been in here.
Riku room wasn't quite a shine to Sora, but it still had that air about it. Riku couldn't get himself to take down any of Sora's photos, so his smile could be found in every direction of the room easily. "Sorry, it's a little messy, I started to box some stuff up out of my closet the other day, and I didn't quite know how I wanted to organize it." Riku said referring to few boxes on the floor with stuff spread out around. It was mostly clothes but they were a few of Riku's rugby trophies and books.

Roxas nodded as they walked up to Riku's room. He picked up a box and smiled over at the silvernette. "Let's get started then," he said happily. He then started back down the stairs and down to the car, loading the box into the back seat. He then popped the trunk and closed that door. That was the biggest box he saw, so it went in the back seat. The rest he figured could fit in the trunk. He hurried back upstairs, passing his mom and Riku on the way. They continued this process for a while until the car was packed. Eventually they all were taking Sora's pictures and things down carefully and storing them in a large shoebox. It was the last thing. "At least all of your stuff fit...now you don't have to come back here," Roxas said with a smile as they were walking out of the house.

Riku made a slight face as he hung up on his phone and threw it on the bed. He pressed his hands to his face with a groan. His parents were such... he didn't even have a correct adjective or noun. "Roxas! I'm going for another run, my parents just called." He seethed through his teeth before grabbing his Ipod and starting for the door praying he made it to the door before Roxas processed what he said and the fact that Riku went for a five mile run this this morning as his regular routine. It was something Riku picked up living Roxas's house. He found Roxas and his mother quite comforting, but when he was angry he didn't like to feel like he was taking his anger out on them when he explained why he was mad. So, Riku started to go on runs or to the gym when he was particularly stressed about something. It helped with his rugby training seeing as tryouts were around when school started, but Roxas keep bugging him about it, saying he was going to push himself too far.
Riku had been getting better in the short three weeks had he been living with Roxas's family. He took Sora's room, and actually started to feel a sense of security in there. It started to look a lot Riku's old room after he unpacked everything, but it still felt like Sora, and Riku liked that. Riku had stopped visiting Sora daily because of it, because he felt like if he really wanted to be with Sora all he had to do was go upstairs into their room. He called it their room too, he stopped calling it 'theirs' in front of everyone, including Roxas and his mom, but he still thought of it as his and Sora's. Riku still went to visit Sora's grave and replace the flowers, but it turned into a weekly thing, which Roxas's mom said was progress. Roxas's mom has also started to really treat Riku like her own son too, another comforting thing. Riku never had really caring parents. Of course, now they called just to ruin his day, because they keep asking when he was coming home or when he would at least move out of Sora's bedroom. How they even found out that little detail Riku had no idea. They thought all this was unhealthy though. After he had been gone about two weeks, they actually called a therapist and gave the man Riku's number. The man still calls every few days annoyingly enough. His parents were probably paying him to call Riku and discuss all his troubles. Riku wasn't troubled that much anymore though other than by them. Riku stopped feeling like Sora was hanging over, and now could only feel him like that when he was sleeping or laying down at night. Sometimes, Riku without even thinking would start talking to him like he was there because he would so tired from whatever he did that day and forget he was gone. In the morning, he would barely even remember what he said, so he didn't let it bug him. Overall though he was getting better.
Riku also learned about this Axel character who had been held up in prison. Axel's mom had called a day or so after Riku moved in, and informed them that Axel had been sentenced with 35 days in jail for minor assault. She also told them that Axel unfortunately wasn't accepting any visitors. Something about him not wanting Roxas or his mother to see him the color orange because it looked horrible on him with his red hair. Of course, Roxas tried to go up there once, but it was true, the guard refused to let Roxas in because of the prisoner's request. But Axel's sentence was almost up now. He had about a week left because although his originally sentence was five weeks, they were talking about letting him out for good behavior at the end of this week. Roxas was excited about it, he had been quite distracted with it ever since Axel's mom called with that news. Axel's friends went home after the incident, but they all left a letter each with Axel's mom for Axel, that Axel's mom had told Roxas was them probably promising to move here after they get out of school or could afford too. They apparently were discussing it before leaving that day. Axel's mom had paid for their train tickets home as an apology gift for Axel not being able to wish them off. Axel's mom seemed excited about her son coming back home too though. She hadn't actually told Roxas what she had planned, but it was definitely something big.

Roxas sighed softly as he watched Riku head out the front door...again. The poor boy's parents were relentless. "Hey, Mom? I'm gonna invite Dem over for a little bit, okay? Maybe I'll see if he can spend the night. I haven't gotten to see him all break." He then sent Demyx a short text. Hey, Dem. You wanna come spend the night tonight? C: You can tell me all about your late-night slutty adventures. If so, come over whenever you want. Maybe we can go for ice cream or somethin' later. I'll buy if you drive.

Demyx lifted his head out of a pillow with a groan. "Don't tell me it is mine?" Demyx groaned recognizing the beeping pattern. "Yeah, sugar plum, it's yours, It sounded like it was coming from over there, your pants probably," The other mumbled only half awake himself. "ughhhh," Demyx groaned practically rolling out of the guy's bed. "Roxas you got to stop these early text messages, they are killing me..." Demyx mumbled to himself. "Babe, it's like twelve." The other reminded the other before Demyx's face scrunched. "How long have we been in bed?" Demyx asked back trying to calculate exactly when they got to his apartment. "Well you have been in bed about a day and a half, remember I cooked then brought it back here while you slept off some of the sex between meals." The guys started with a smirk on his face as he started to think about their crazy sex. "oooohhhh yeaaaahhh," Demyx said with a smirk of his own before remembering Roxas sent him a message. His smirk turned into a gleeful smile. "Oh baby, I have to go, my best friend wants me to take him out for ice cream." Demyx said loudly before sending a message back. "Sure Roxy, I'll be right over, good thing we drove my car to his place ;D" The man made a groan before sitting up and looking at the spunky blonde. "Um, but I'll miss you and that a**." The man said sounding really sad about it. Demyx looked at him for a moment. Both of them were naked, the only different was Demyx was naked on the floor in view where as the guy was covered up half way with the blanket. Demyx bit his lip a little with a small smirk growing his face. "What if I gave you a small parting gift?" Demyx asked curiously looking very tempting all naked. "I think that would definitely help me feel better," The man said with a smirk on his own growing on his face. "Oh Sorry Roxas, I'll be over in about thirty minutes... umm, maybe forty (;" He sent at lightning speed before tossing the phone back on his pants, and joining the man on the bed again.
