Cast Away - A LLFTX Fanfiction

Chapter 1

What do you think when you hear the word "cruise"? Probably something about a large ship flying across the ocean surface with beautiful views? Yeah, I thought that too. Of course, it started off that way, but that grew old. Now, the constant view is stormy weather and Takuto hanging his head over the side. I never realized he was prone to seasickness.

I sit upon a stool right by a bar, watching poor Takuto look paler than he ever has. He stumbles about on the swaying ship, eventually making his way over to me, leaning against the bar to support himself.

"I don't get it, Riley," he started, "how are you not sick right now?" He asks as if everyone else on this gigantic cruise was puking their guts out.

"I don't mind the ocean. I find it quite calming." I answer him offering the stool next to me for him to sit in.

He sits casually and looks out into the deep blue water before turning away again, hiding his face from the choppy water in the cold wind.

I watch him before looking to the water. I can see the rain droplets hitting the surface of the water. "Great vacation, huh?" I say sarcastically as Takuto spins his finger in a small circle.

"Whoopty-doo.." He groans, dropping his arm onto his lap. "I never really liked the ocean anyway..." He mumbled the second part, but me being me with my excellent hearing, I heard it quite clearly.

I smiled at him in his weakened state and turned, once again, back to the ocean view. Glancing up at the sky, I click my tongue. "I think it might get worse," I comment and bring my attention back to the seasick boy beside me.

"Dammit," he swears, standing up. "I'm not staying out here any longer. You comin'?" He asks, motioning with his head to the door going to the small rooms.

I shrug and walk in after him. Each room has two bunk beds, a small nightstand, a small, round table with two chairs, two porthole views, and two wall views. I managed to snag the top bunk with a genuinely nice view out the porthole. The only bad part about it is that I have no space to turn on my side without being wedged between the ceiling and bed.

Takuto and I make it back to our room with Hiro and Riki already chilling inside.

"Still not feeling well? You look even more pale than usual." Riki snickers as I sit beside him on his lower bunk.

"Shut up," Takuto pouts, sitting on one of the chairs.

It was my turn to snicker. "Admit it~" I tease him and climb up to my bed and hanging off the side.

"Get back up there before you fall and crack your head open," Takuto tries to push me back up onto the small bed as I start giggling.

"Awww, Takkun is so sweet!~" Hiro purred, doing a little hop and clapping his hands.

Takuto turns bright red and pulls away from me, "no." He denies quietly. I stop giggling and pout.

Riki shakes his head, "you guys are idiots." He shakes his head and stands up. "Anyway, I'm hungry."

"Oooh! Same! Me! Me!" I grin widely and nearly fall off the bed.

"Careful, idiot!" Takuto rushes to the side to help me down carefully.

"I don't know whether to feel grateful that you want me safe.. or offended you called me an idiot." I deadpan and I gather my footing on the swaying floor.

"I don't want you safe. I just don't feel like being a witness to your death."

"Excuse me?" I raise an eyebrow, but Hiro intervenes by grabbing me by the hand and Takuto by the arm, pulling us out of the room with Riki taking the rear.
