Chapter 9
"So-chan!" Tamaki yelled, catching up to him.
"What is it..?" Sogo asked, looking to him.
"I know you want to go home, but..if you can't you can stay with us! We'll take care of you"
"...I'm happy to hear that. But I'm determined to go home. It's not that I haven't enjoyed every moment here with all of you. It's just that I don't belong here" he grabbed Tamaki's hand.
He nodded slowly, he wanted to try and convince Sogo to stay so badly. But there was no way he could bring himself to. Yes he didn't want Sogo to leave, he knew he shouldn't of gotten attached but he did. Though making him stay would hurt both of them, him especially knowing he was the reason Sogo was unhappy being trapped in their world.
"I know you want me to stay"
"..! S-So-chan.."
"It's okay. Let's just enjoy our time together while it lasts. That way we can have happy memories of being together!" he smiled to the Hatter.
"Yeah. Oh uh..what time is it?"
They walked through the kingdom looking for a clock to check the time. Once they had, finding a clock in a shop, it was almost noon.
"I forgot about the tea party!" Tamaki exclaimed. "Let's hurry!!" he began running, pulling Sogo along with him. Giving Sogo no chance to say anything, he tried to keep up with Tamaki.
They really loved their tea parties so much they freak out if there's a chance they'll be late.
. . .
"Mm.." Riku mumbled.
"Something wrong?" Tenn asked.
The Dormouse had asked him what he wanted for a gift. He simply asked him to allow him to kiss him. Though that turned into them making out for a while. They didn't go further than that, there was no way he'd let his friend's suspicions of him taking advantage of Riku be true.
"Time..we have a tea party today" he yawned.
"Is that so? Can't you just skip it and stay?"
"Those two would get worried if I don't tell them ahead of time..You can just come with me"
Go with him? To one of their tea parties when the two didn't seem to like him?
"Don't worry, I explained to them about us...though not sure how to explain this.."
He chuckled and nuzzled him, causing Riku to whine. Riku was so cute. Lifting him off his lap he stood up. "Keep it a secret for now" he smiled.
"Okay. Let's go now, you'll like the tea party..! Maybe your friends can join us next time!"
Maybe it wouldn't be to bad if they joined them for their tea parties every once in a while. But they had their duties to worry about. Oh well, just this once he would disregard his job, only because it was Riku who invited him. There was no way he could say no to him.
They two left to make their way to the tea party. Tenn would clean up everything from his unbirthday once he returned. He was curious to see Gaku and Ryuu's reaction to hearing about his unbirthday party that they weren't invited too.
. . .
"It's about time! I've been waiting for you guys with Nagi!" Mitsuki said, stomping his foot.
"Couldn't of been that bad with Nagicchi with you"
Mitsuki blushed while Nagi smiled to him. "Shut up! Anyways where's Riku?"
"Here.."
They turned to see Riku walking over with Tenn by his side. Though they weren't to thrilled, sending him away would upset the Dormouse. But the fact he wasn't invited kind of annoyed them.
"Sorry for not asking if he could come..We were celebrating his unbirthday. Is it okay if he stays?"
"U-Um..yeah, he can stay. But next time let us know if there's going to be any other guests..!" Tamaki quickly said.
It seems no one could say no the Riku. Also, for once, he was wide awake, sort of. He still looked a bit tired. Riku sat down in his usual spot with Tenn sitting next to him. The others did the same. With that Tamaki began the tea party.
Riku and Tenn didn't eat and drink much due to the previous party, which Tamaki understood. Sogo took this time to explain to Tenn about himself. He found it interesting hearing about the world he came from. Everyone did since it was the first time they had heard of a world aside from Wonderland.
"I'm sure the White Rabbit will find a way to get you home. Just be patient" Tenn said once Sogo finished talking.
"I wonder what it'd be like to go to another world. Not that I would want to actually leave Wonderland"
"Eh? Why not Nagicchi. We could easily get back if we had Iorin with us. Plus it'd be like an adventure, getting to see So-chan's world for ourselves"
"Don't be naive, we don't belong there, we belong here. So don't get any ideas. We have our roles so stick to them"
Tamaki looked annoyed with that response. No matter how much he wanted to stay with Sogo, one way or another, every idea was shot down. Was it really so much to ask for? He would happily throw away his role for him.
"Tamaki-kun, really..it's fine" Sogo gripped him hand. He sighed, smiling to Sogo to try and show he was okay. But it was obvious he was upset.
The six of them talked more about Sogo's world and how it was quite different from Wonderland. They had many questions for him and he answered the best he could. It was strange being the center of attention. But eventually they began their own separate conversations.
Even though it had only been a few days, Sogo was adjusting to life in Wonderland. Though he was curious if time flowed the same in Wonderland as it did in his world. Or did it move differently. Like just a day could just be a few minutes or a week. Who knows. Maybe he'd find out once he got back. It'd be interesting finding out.
But there was also no doubt no one would believe him if he told them about this world. Well at least he knew it was real, that was all that mattered.
