"Have fun with Aunt Yuffie, kiddo," Sora told his baby sister, ruffling her hair as she gathered her bag from the back seat.

The little girl grinned. "I will! Have fun with Riku!"

He chuckled. "I will, Shi. See you tomorrow."

She hastily pressed a sloppy kiss to his cheek before getting out of the car and running up to jump into Yuffie's arms. The short woman waved at Sora and he returned the action before driving away, a soft smile on his lips.

It was Valentine's Day, and Sora was very much looking forward to hanging out in Riku's apartment all night and cuddling. They never really did anything special for the occasion, since they both found it kind of overrated. They just took it as another excuse to spend time together.

He pulled up outside of the apartment building, parking the car in the designated area before getting out. His parents had let him use their car since they were staying in all night, which he was grateful for because he hated making Riku pick him up all the time. He really needed a car of his own...

Once inside, he made his way up the stairs to the second floor, stopping outside of his boyfriend's door and knocking. The door opened a moment later, revealing the boy he loved so much.

His eyes softened when he took in Riku's rumpled appearance, from the messy bun he'd pulled his hair into to the ratty t-shirt and paint-stained sweats he wore. He loved Riku the most when he was like this.

"I missed you," the taller teen murmured, pulling him in for a hug.

Sora chuckled. "It's only been a day, 'Ku."

Riku chuckled. "Still. I hate being away from you."

The brunet smiled, kissing his cheek. "You're such a sap, jesus Riku."

Offering a cheeky grin in reply, the silver-haired teen pulled him inside, dragging him all the way to the couch where he sat, pulling him on top of his lap and kissing him properly for the first time that day. Sora let out a happy sigh at the contact, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend's neck.

"So I know we never really do anything special for Valentine's day, but we've been dating for three years now...I figured it was time we do something special," Riku murmured, brushing brown hair from Sora's face.

A single brown eyebrow lifted. "What did you have in mind?"

Grinning, Riku lifted him bridal style, earning a peal of laughter as he practically ran to the kitchen, spinning him before setting him down and kissing him chastely.

"Close your eyes," he instructed, running his thumb over the brunet's cheek. Sora did as he was asked, and he felt Riku take each of his hands before something was placed in them. "Now open."

Blue eyes opened, immediately zeroing in on the two items in his hands. He couldn't decide which one made him more speechless—the yellow star-shaped fruit or the small silver key.

"I love you, Sora Fair, so much. And I'd really love it if you did me the honor of sharing a paopu fruit with me...and also of moving in with me," Riku said softly, aqua eyes shining with love and sincerity,

Sora felt his eyes fill with tears as a smile spread on his face. He set the gifts aside to throw his arms around Riku's neck, hugging him tight. "There's nothing I'd rather do," he whispered, giving him a squeeze.

When they separated, Riku picked up the star-shaped fruit and broke it in half, giving one piece to Sora and keeping the other for himself. Yellow skin was peeled away, and then the two of them had each taken a bite, feeling their tastebuds explode with the sweet, slightly sour flavor of the fruit. They ate until none was left, proceeding to share a soft kiss afterwards.

"I love you," Sora murmured, nuzzling his face into the taller male's chest.

He felt a kiss on the top of his head. "I love you too. And don't worry, I already asked your parents if you could move in with me. They're totally okay with it, they seemed happy when I asked," Riku informed him with a soft grin. "You can move in anytime you want."

"I wanna move in as soon as possible. I wanna live with you," the brunet told him with an uncharacteristically shy smile.

The silver-haired teen laughed. "I have no complaints about that...the sooner the better."

"Then it's settled. We should start packing my stuff tomorrow, or maybe Monday so we can make Roxas and Axel help," Sora said with a grin. "That is, if Roxy's not too sore," he added with a snort.

Riku burst out laughing. "I'd be surprised if they actually made it through the weekend without doing it, the sexual tension between the two of them is incredible."

Sora hummed in agreement, suddenly turning contemplative. "Do you think they love each other, 'Ku?"

Riku shrugged. "All I know is that I've never seen Axel so dedicated to a person before. I'm happy for him, and for Roxas too. It sounds like he's had a rough year, but he looks happy when he's with Ax."

"Agreed," Sora murmured. "I hope they're happy together, and I hope they feel like us someday," he said softly, offering his boyfriend a smile.

"They deserve it for sure," the taller teen replied, lightly scratching his fingers up and down Sora's back because he knew how much the brunet loved it when he did so. "But enough about them...I say we go and cuddle in our bed."

Sora grinned. "Our bed...I like the sound of that." His eyes turned mischievous. "What do you say we christen it, celebrate the occasion?"

Riku snorted. "Sora, we christened that bed long ago."

"But it was only yours then. Now it's ours. It's like a whole new bed, really. And are you really gonna say no to sex?" the brunet pointed out with a sultry smirk, eyelashes fluttering.

"Hell no. I like the way you think, Sor."
