Chapter 1: Love Me
When I was two I saved my father's life but I was rewarded with gashes across my face, and stomach that extended all the way to my back. My friends left me one by one because of my appearance but Riku had been my best friend since we met in daycare. Daddy delivered three beautiful babies and he and Papa were doing their best chasing after the triplets.
My family never passed me up and they loved me unconditionally. When I turned sixteen I realized that I had fallen in love with my best friend. I spent that night curled up in my bed with my dad holding me as we both cried. The Bond was so strong and it was calling me to him. But with my scars I knew he would never want someone like me.
When Riku invited me to the ocean the day after my birthday I gladly accepted. I didn't however realize that we were going with a few of his other friends. There were two girls that came with us for the day and all of them were wearing small bikinis and hanging off Riku. I didn't even know why I came it was disgusting to watch as they all swam around and had water fights, while I was hiding my scars under a baggy t-shirt.
Standing up I brushed the sand off of my legs and walked down the long strip of beach away from the high pitched giggles and calls of, "Stop that Riku!"
I walked until I could no longer hear their cries and laughter. I headed to the tide pools instead. Sitting down on the ground I looked into the small pool trying to lose myself in the marine life. It did no good and soon I was up pacing around the different tide pools.
I tried collecting seashells, even helped a little turtle make his way back into the ocean but still my thoughts drifted to Riku. I thought of his god like body, how wonderful it would be to be to have it wrapped around me. To be held tightly, to be loved by my best friend like I loved him.
That would never happen, not with my sensitive to the touch scars. Besides Riku could have anyone that he wanted, even those girls that had come with us to the beach. I didn't like them and they despised me. It was easy to see in the way they glared at me and made fun of me behind my back. The only time I had gotten close to Riku this whole trip was when we were in the car together. After that the girls made sure that we had been separated ever since.
With no more turtles to herd back into the ocean, and no more tide pools to explore I headed back. Spotting a small pier I decided on going there instead so I wouldn't have to watch those girls throw themselves at my best friend. Sitting on the edge I dangled my legs off and just quietly sat there watching as the day faded and brought with it the night. When I heard footsteps I didn't even turn I could smell who it was.
"I've been looking all over for you!" He shouted stomping over.
"You were having so much fun I didn't want to ruin it." I whispered trying to hold back my emotions. It wasn't fair! If I didn't have these scars then he would love me... he would have been with me.
"You wouldn't join us... I even offered to stay with you!" He cried grabbing me by the arm and pulling me up.
"They didn't want me to join! Do you not get it? I have scars! On my stomach and my back! Worst of all on my face I'm not good looking like they are! I'm just that weird kid that no one wants but they let you take me because their trying to impress you! Date one of them and watch them tell you that you can't hang out with me! They just want to sleep with you because you're older and in college and... And..." I couldn't go on because I knew if I did I would end up telling him that I loved him.
"Talk to me Sora... We've been best friends since you first came to daycare." Riku whispered.
"Let me go." I said tugging my arm back.
"No, not until you finally talk to me! Ever since your birthday you've been avoiding me! Please talk to me." I wanted to talk to him but I couldn't, because I knew if I did I would end up telling him everything.
I wasn't ready for rejection, not yet anyway. I was weak and I knew once he rejected me I wouldn't be able to handle it. We would no longer be friends and that was just something I wasn't ready for.
"Let me go Ku..." I whispered the nickname I had given him when I started kindergarten.
"No." He responded wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me to his chest. Lifting up my chin he stared at me a long moment before pressing his lips to mine. I was dumbfounded to say the least. I wanted to leave but his lips traveled to the scarred side of my face. Closing my eyes I allowed his kisses to rain down on my face as I tried to keep my emotions in check.
Wrapped up in our little world we were both startled when two whiny voices pulled us out of our trance.
"Riiikuuu." One of the girls whined. Sighing he turned around to face her, his arms still never leaving my waist. Hiding my blush in his chest he just smiled down at me running long pale fingers through my spikes. "Are you coming?"
"No you guys go on ahead; I'm going to stay here with my boyfriend." Everyone knew that Riku was bi which was what probably attracted all the girls to him but boyfriend?
"What?" One of the girls shrieked. Looking back I saw her flipping her bleached blond hair back and rolling her eyes. "Your boyfriend? Him? But look at him!" She screeched pointing at me as if I were a hunch back.
Whimpering I tried to hide myself in Riku's chest. I wasn't a strong person and as I grew up and realized how cruel the world could be I started hiding from it. When Daddy and Papa would take us out shopping everyone would comment on how cute Reno was, how adorable Ventus was and how beautiful Sabine was. They always skipped past me never giving me a moment's notice.
At first it used to bother me but after a while I got used to it. I wasn't cute like Reno, or adorable like Ventus and I would never be as beautiful as Sabine. Trying to push Riku away he only held me tighter not letting me even try to escape. I couldn't take this.
"Yeah exactly look at him. He's beautiful." Riku stated leaning down and capturing my lips with his.
Squeaking I tried to pull away but instead he only pulled me closer while swiping his tongue against my lips before delving in. My breathing picked up as he explored every inch of my mouth coaxing my tongue to come and play. When he finally pulled back his eyes were alight with mischief. I couldn't believe it... he hadn't denounced me like I thought he was going to. Instead he kissed me.
"Sorry ladies we have somewhere else to be. I trust you'll find your way home safely." Picking me up bridal style he carried me past two stunned bimbos and down the walkway and towards a small hotel.
"Where are we going?" I asked looking back to see both girls watching us with large scowls on their faces.
"We're not going home tonight that's for sure. I'm going to take you to a hotel and then we'll go out for dinner or eat in your choice." He stated.
"A... um a h-h-hotel?" I squeaked.
"We'll get two separate beds if you want. I swear I'll be a perfect gentleman." He responded. Sitting me down he opened the door allowing the cool air to wash over our faces.
With a split decision made I pulled him down to my level and kissed him hard. "What if I don't want you to be a gentleman?" I asked. What the hell was wrong with me? Did I seriously just say that?
Grinning he took my hand and led us to the front desk. After getting a room we headed up the elevator and to the room we'd be staying in. It was nice with one large bed and there were rose petals leading from the front door and scattered on the bed.
In a silver basin with ice there was sparkling cider since we weren't old enough to drink yet and two flute glasses. There was also a little silver bowl filled with chocolate.
Turning around I saw Riku's face was red and he was trying to hold back a smile.
"You did this? Were you planning this?" I squeaked.
"Yeah I was planning on asking if you wanted to stay at a hotel for a night and then let you find this. But it worked out better than I planned; I was going to have to think of a way to get those bimbos out of the way so they wouldn't ruin our night. I mean if you'll have me as a Mate that is." He whispered the last part looking away.
"You won't change your mind within a week? I mean Mating is serious... it'll be a lifetime of me and..." I gestured to the scars that marred my face. It started from my hair line and went down past my eye and to my chin. The scars were an angry red as were the ones on my stomach and back. They were sensitive to touch and very painful when touched. My brothers and sister and Dad and Papa were the only ones who were ever allowed to touch them.
I wasn't beautiful looking like my family I was the scarred one. The one that was like a glass doll that no one could touch. I hated it; I didn't want to be like that. But when Riku had kissed the scarred side of my face it didn't hurt at all instead it was like liquid fire was racing through my body.
"Why would I change my mind? Sora do you remember when you first came to daycare?" When I nodded he continued, "You were wearing the cutest red jumpsuit and you were carrying this stuffed bunny around that had seen better days. Your thumb was in your mouth and you were holding on tightly to your Dad who was dropping you off. I remember when he sat you down to leave you cried until Namine picked you up. I was in love with you as soon as you stepped foot in that door. The Bond had already taken effect and I was ok with it and I have been. Every day that goes by I fall more in love with you. I was just afraid that you wouldn't feel the same."
"I've always loved you. It was just after the accident I didn't think you'd feel the same. Then high school came along and everyone was talking about all the sex they'd had with you. I knew I didn't have a chance." I responded.
Taking my hand in his he led me to the bed and pulled me in his lap. "I took them out on one date and I took them home. That was it. I never kissed them or touched them in any way because I felt like in a way I'd be cheating on you. They made all of that shit up and to be honest it was quiet annoying. But I've never had sex with anyone." He stated his face heating up to a bright red.
"So you're still a virgin?" I asked kissing his throat.
"Mmm yes I am." He growled fingers making light circles on my hips. He allowed me to continue to kiss and nip his throat for a few minutes before turning around so that he could lay me on the bed.
His lips found mine immediately while nimble fingers slowly made their way up my shirt to the scars on my stomach. Breath hitching in my throat he pulled back watching my reaction. It wasn't painful in fact it felt really good as they glided over the scars.
"What if I had said no?" I questioned as Riku leaned down and kissed the scars on my stomach.
Growling he pulled back and forced his lips against mine. "I'm a very jealous and possessive person you know that right?"
When I didn't say anything he growled and sucked on my throat leaving a hickey for tomorrow. Moaning I reached my hands up to thread my fingers through silken silver hair.
"I wouldn't have stopped until you said yes. You are my Mate; ever since I met you I staked my claim on you. No one will ever get in my way and if they do they'll have to be dealt with." At my shocked expression he kissed the tip of my nose. "Relax I wouldn't kill anyone. I just won't let anyone try and stake a claim on you because your mine. I love you so much; I'll do anything to make you mine, to make you happy." Warm breath tickled my face as large turquoise orbs stared down at me.
"I love you to Ku." I whispered tears gathering in the corners of my eyes.
"Don't cry So." He said smiling and pressing his lips gently against mine. "Don't cry I love you. I love you so much."
For a long while we just kissed and nothing more. But when hands traveled down and tried to pull my shirt off I whimpered and pulled away. "No... No please don't."
"What? What's wrong?" He cried backing away.
"Please don't take my shirt off. I don't want you having to see how scarred my body is." I whispered hiding my face in Riku's chest.
Chuckling he pulled me back and kissed my forehead. "Sora you do realize your face is scarred right? And I've seen you naked before, albeit we were kids." He explained with a chuckle. When I nodded he continued on, "Then what are you scared of?"
"That you'll run away and never look back. That one day you'll wake up and you won't love me anymore. That you'll fall in love with someone else, or maybe that you'll leave me because my scars are so hideous! You saw those girls they didn't want anything to do with me because of that!" I cried tears gathering in the corners of my eyes and then falling.
"Sora calm down." Riku tried grabbing my shoulders and lightly shaking me.
Breaking down I started sobbing uncontrollably while Riku pulled me in his lap and rocked me back and forth. His hands were warm as they rubbed soothing circles on my hips.
"Why would I ever leave you? I don't think you understand how crazy I am about you. Scars or not I still love you! I just want to be with you that's all! We don't even have to Mate, I don't care if we ever Mate I just want to be with you. I'll never leave you! Ever!" He promised burying his face in my hair.
"We can Mate... you can take my swimming trunks off." I whispered making sure the sound was muffled by Riku's skin. He was perfect and I wasn't. I was exactly like a doll, a breakable doll! I hated it! I didn't want to be like this! But they were so sensitive and no amount of begging Zexion would take away that pain.
There was nothing he could do. There was no cure, no cream, nothing that could be done to lessen the pain. But if my dad was in that situation again I would defend him again in an instant. He had tried to take care of it by himself that night and I was terrified that he was going to be killed. I had to do something!
Riku's chuckling was what pulled me out of my thoughts as he sat me back down on the bed. Lifting my chin up with his fingers he smiled. "You'll take your pants off and let me see that sexy ass of yours but not your shirt?"
"Stop laughing at me! Yes I just don't want you seeing my scars." I cried helplessly.
Brushing his lips against mine they traveled up until they reached my ear where he softly whispered, "No I will not have sex with you until you let me take your shirt off."
"But why?" I whined. "I thought you wanted to Mate with me." By this point I was thoroughly confused.
"Sora listen to me. I do want to Mate with you god knows I do but I can't. I want you to trust me. You're not comfortable with me seeing you like this and I get it but you'll let me take your pants off and that's it. We'll end up Mating with your shirt on and twenty years down the road we'll still be having sex with your shirt on. Until you're comfortable with me seeing you scars and all I'm not going to Mate with you I'm sorry. I still love you." Riku whispered pressing a kiss to my temple and then lying down.
I didn't know what to say so instead I said nothing at all. Lying down beside him we stared at each other conveying our message that way. He was right I wasn't comfortable with him seeing me like that. Ever since the accident I had built walls around myself never allowing anyone to get close. But my family and Riku I wanted to think they were different but maybe they weren't. I was so fearful that they might run that I never let them in, in the first place. I had been so wrapped up in building those walls I guess I didn't realize I had been pushing everyone out.
I had been in love with Riku ever since I had met him. But when I turned sixteen and realized my true feelings I thought it could never be. Riku loved me and all he was asking for was trust. It was something that I felt I couldn't give... but maybe I could try. He promised that he wouldn't run away screaming into the night but how could I be sure?
"Penny for your thoughts?" Riku whispered reaching a hand out to thread in my spikes.
Sighing I kissed the hand that was offered to me making sure to get all of the fingertips.
"I'm afraid that you'll run away." I responded after a few minutes.
"I'm not going to run away. You just have to trust me." He said offering me a small smile. "Sora I love you and that includes your scars. Take as much time as you need my love. I know this is hard for you. I'll still be here when you wake up and the next day and the next day after that and when you're ready I'll still be here waiting for your answer."
Sitting up he stretched and walked over to the ice filled basin pouring us each a glass of sparkling cider. Handing me the chocolates he settled himself back on the bed sipping his drink.
After we had drunk more than half the bottle Riku announced that he was going to order us some room service. We ate steak that night, cooked rare of course with the juices still dripping. Growling Riku would lean over and lick my lips commenting that he just wanted to taste the steaks juice.
Nuzzling my neck he would kiss the scarred side of my face first before kissing the other side. "I love you."
"I love you to." I purred as we finished eating and then lay down on the bed for a while.
"I'm going to go take a shower ok So?" He said sitting up and taking a small duffel bag into the bathroom. Nodding I sat there listening as he turned the taps on and entered the shower.
I wanted to trust Riku, I really did. But how could I make myself trust him? How could I break down all these walls that I had built? He promised to wait for me as I made my decision but what if it took a while? What if it took ten years? Would he still be there with me or would he turn away. Would he have moved on?
Had I not been scarred it wouldn't have been a problem. I would have instantly taken my shirt off for him. I was just self-conscious and it was stupid I shouldn't be like that. Groaning I looked over at the closed door as a strange sound caught my ears.
It was a moan. Cocking my head I snuck off the bed and towards the door pressing my ear against it. When I heard it again I slapped my hand over my mouth so no one heard my squeak of surprise.
"So-ra." Riku was moaning my name? Why would he be doing that? I was out here not in there... unless he was... oh my. "Oh god Sora..." He whimpered as I pressed my ear to the door.
He continued moaning my name for almost the duration of the shower. As soon as it cut off I raced across the room and jumped on the bed. When Riku emerged from the bathroom he was naked all except for a towel that was hanging from his waist. It had been pulled down so low that I could almost see his flushed cock.
"Sora why is your face all red?" Riku asked with a mischievous grin.
"N-n-no reason." I stuttered diving under the covers and pulling a pillow over my face.
"So-ra." Riku moaned. It was exactly like he had in the shower. I squealed out in surprise when I felt warm hands on my legs make their way up to my apparently sensitive thighs.
Sucking in a deep breath I pulled my legs away only for the covers to be pulled back and my pillow to be snatched away.
"Is that what you heard?" He asked once he had me backed against the headboard of the bed. "Because yes I was just jerking off to thoughts of what I want to do to you." He grinned.
My face was beyond red at this point as I opened and closed my mouth like a fish. Turning around so that his perfectly sculpted back was facing me he ripped the towel off of his lithe frame. I was pretty sure I was going to have a nosebleed at the sight. Sauntering into the bathroom he gave me a good show as he turned around exposing his already hardened cock.
I was staring oh god I was staring... and I couldn't stop. I couldn't fucking stop staring at it. He was grabbing it ohhh god he was jerking himself off again. It was so hot in here I could barely breathe as I blindly groped around for a pillow. By the time he had closed the door I was whimpering from need.
Riku re-emerged sometime later. I was snuggled under the covers trying hard to ignore him when he finally crawled into bed beside me.
When we fell asleep later that night Riku tucked me under his chin pressing me close to his chest. The next morning was awkward between us as we headed downstairs and ate breakfast. We were going to stay here for two more nights; I would have to call Dad later to let him know our change of plans.
After eating we headed back up the elevator and to our room to change clothes. Riku didn't say anything as I went to the bathroom to put a fresh t-shirt on and my swimming trunks. We packed a small cooler of drinks and made sure we had our towels before heading out. Riku was wearing a pair of flip flops and I was barefoot preferring to feel the burning sand under my feet.
Making our way out we were met with two bleach blond haired girls who seemed to be waiting for us... well more likely Riku.
Both of them were chewing gum and one of the girls was wearing a purple and white striped bikini that barely covered her nipples. Her bottoms were tied on both sides and she was smacking her lips and blowing pink bubbles. She had green eyes while the other girl was shorter about as tall as me with brown eyes and a sky blue bikini that looked similar to the other girls.
Riku had spent time with them yesterday... and then ditched them so what were they still doing here? When we came out their eyes lit up with excitement but when they saw me they frowned but then quickly changed their expression. Riku took my hand in his as I tried hiding behind him.
"Hey Riku!" The girl with green eyes purred strutting over and placing her hand on his shoulder.
My inner wolf growled menacingly while I just stood there frozen waiting for Riku's reaction.
"We were coming to see if you wanted to play." She giggled this time wrapping her arms around his neck. This was too much, was he really allowing this? When she brushed her lips against Riku's I let go of his hand and fled back into the hotel. I could hear their shrill laughter as I raced to the elevator.
A/N: I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. As I said this will be updated weekly so let me know what you think!
