Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts and I sort of own this idea. I actually got this idea from a picture of deviant art where Riku is holding a baby Roxas whose crying. I think the picture was drawn by Illbewaiting or something like that. At first this was just a written version of that story but I revised it so much that there aren't many similarities anymore.
"A Drop into A Daydream" is a group of short stories I'm going to be writing. They are all about Kingdom Hearts but they may or may not be related to each other. If they are than I'm say so at the top of the page. I thought of that specific title because I daydream a lot and because I'm obsessed with Kingdom Hearts there are what I daydream about.
Um…this is the first time I've ever put something on this site. I haven't had anyone read it yet so if anyone could take the time to review and tell me what I did wrong and how I can improve than I'll be really appreciative. Also, I know this is pretty short and I'm really sorry about that. I think I'll be writing a follow up to this one. I like the idea.
Chapter 1: Teenage ParentsRiku picked up the blue towel cradling a small, blonde baby in khaki-shorts from the couch. The baby gurgled in response and squirmed in his arms.
"Roxas, stop wiggling! I'm trying to get your shoes on." Riku told the moving bundle.
Roxas gave a small cry in defiance and kicked his feet.
The silver-haired teen sighed, "Roxas, I know you hate me but since Sora thinks we need to improve out relationship because we fought when you were older and forced me to become your "dad", can we try to get along." He begged as he slyly slid a small, white sandal on one of Roxas' little pink feet.
Indeed, one of Sora's first decisions when Roxas, Axel, Namine, and Demyx were de-aged was for Riku to raise Roxas. Despite Riku's logic that because Sora is Roxas' somebody, he should be raising him, Sora didn't budge. That and because no one believes them when they say the babies aren't really their kids is how Riku got stuck with Roxas, Kairi is raising Namine, and Sora has Axel and Demyx. Though Kairi keeps saying that the order is perfect because Axel and Demyx act like Sora more. She says that even as a baby, Roxas is too serious to be Sora's son. Riku, the guy who's been taking care of Roxas for the past two weeks doesn't agree to that statement at all.
Roxas, who was looking at Riku's silver hair in wonder, was reaching up to pull a lock when he noticed Riku putting on the second shoe in Roxas' distraction. The blonde babies' eyes widened to a few seconds before his lips wobbled and he let out a loud wail.
Riku let out a loud sigh and rolled his eyes as he pulled Roxas so he was holding the baby by his armpits and started tossing the crying baby up and down. The tactic didn't work as Roxas continued trying to burst a lung while he was hurtled threw the air.
A loud ringtone went off at that time. Riku caught Roxas and held him tightly with one arm as he anwered the annoying tone. 'I really got to change that', Riku thought as he put the phone to his left ear.
"Hello, who is this?" Riku asked juggling Roxas up and down.
"Uh, it's me Sora. Hey, what's taking so long for you to get here? I thought we were supposed to meet at the beach thirty minutes ago. And what's that noise? Is it Roxas? Is he okay?" Sora seemed to be panicking.
"Yeah, he's fine. He didn't want to wear shoes for some reason so I made him upset what I put them on him anyway."
"Riku, you made Roxas cry!" Sora said reproaching but Riku knew he was teasing.
"Like you're any better with Axel and Demyx. At least I know not to leave one-year-old babies in the bathtub alone."
"Hey! I told you that it was only for like five seconds. I'm serious. I turned for a moment and suddenly the water was on the floor and they were drowning. It was like magic! Yeah, that's it! Demyx must be using his powers." Sora sounded really proud of himself for thinking of a sort-of logical lie. Another thing Riku doesn't understand is why the most clumsy and clatter-brained of the trio was the one to raise TWO babies. He guessed that when they grew up, Axel and Demyx would have each other to support so they wouldn't be alone in being raised by the terror that is Sora.
"Anyway, Roxas and I will be at the beach in about ten minutes. Try to be patient and keep and eye on Axel and Demyx in the water. I don't want to get a phone call and have a person scream into it that his babies are dead and he doesn't know what to do.
If Riku could see him, he knew Sora would be sulking. "Hey, they looked dead to me. How was I supposed to know they were unconscious."
"Well, it's not really that I'm mad about Sora. I just didn't like how you didn't tell me who you were first so I thought a random person called me."
"I was scared!"
"I know. Anyway, see you in ten minutes." Riku hung up with a beep after those words and looked down with a frown. Roxas stopped crying and was contenting sucking on one of Riku's silver locks while pulling at a few other locks.
Riku pulled the baby away from his hair and Roxas looked at Riku with as much indignation as a little, chubby baby can do. The "dad" held up his "son" to stare at him eye-to-eye. Roxas blinked and flung his hand onto Riku's nose, holding tightly and giggling with glee.
With a sigh, Riku pulled the hand from his nose and said "Roxas, I'm going to put your shirt on now. If you make this a challenge than these-" Riku held up a pair of baby keys in his hand making Roxas flair his arms with glee. "-will go away." Riku put the keys into his pocket at that point. Roxas looked at him with wide, blue eyes, wondering what "daddy" is talking about and why his precious keys are gone.
Riku sighed. "Yeah. Talk to him. He understands more than you think. Talk to him you too will get along better." Riku said, mocking Kairi's words.
The reluctant parent put a white shirt with a grumpy, yellow face on it (Kairi thought it was cute and that it fit was Roxas sounded like he was like before he changed.). Roxas squirmed a bit but let him put it on. Riku pulled the blue and green keys on a yellow ring out of his pocket and held it within Roxas' reach. The blonde-haired baby squealed in excitement and grabbed the keys. Than he stared attentively at the keys as he shook them in his hand.
Riku shook his head in amusement and picked up the distracted little boy. Walking out of his house, he wondered about what torture Sora is doing with his boys right now. One thing that keeps Riku from giving up of parenthood is knowing that Sora will always make him feel good about how he's raising Roxas.
