Chapter 19:
The Ending Of A Fic, The Beginning Of A Romance
Riku awoke from his sleeping state, finding himself lying next to a certain brunette boy, who was at the moment, curled up soundly next to his side. Peering over his face, Riku found himself blowing cool air from his pale lips into the smaller boys face, emitting a smile from Sora. Sora cracked open one crystal blue eye, and stared into the distant aqua eyes of his lover. The silver haired boy kissed Sora's cheek bone, after the occasional stretches and whatnot before moving off of the flustered and scattered sheets on the bed and out of the room.
"Riku?" The soft voice drifted from Sora's mouth. The other boy turned, looking behind him at the small boy still lying in the bed, the pale blue sheets were crumpled at his side, and his right leg was hanging half way off of the bed. Absolutely gorgeous. That was only one of the words that truly described just how perfect Sora was. From the light brown tips of his spiky hair, to the adorable pouty face that the younger boy would occasionally showcase, all in all, Riku found him perfectly gorgeous.
"Hm?" Came the response, in a mono-tone voice. All Riku really wanted to do at the4 moment was to go downstairs and help Kairi and Selphie fix up a party he was planning for Sora. It had been exactly a year ago since they had been together and Riku and Sora had also managed to gain their friends back, even though it wasn't an easy task to have Kairi accept their relationship.
Since that fateful and very eventful year ago, Selphie and Tidus were still dating each other. It was a shame though, because neither Wakka nor Kairi had managed to find love from any other person on Destiny Islands since Riku and Sora had become a couple. And it was extremely unlikely that either one of them would want to date the other. Their relationship would be two people with completely different personalities. The situation would have been- Wakka, with his manly rough edges, and Kairi, with her "preppy" girl issues. She needed only Selphie to confront on those matters.
It had been almost a complete hour ago since Riku had placed the little clear pills inside Sora's lemonade. It had been just enough time for the girls to come over and make any last minute party preparations. Riku had just wanted to get Sora sleepy for a little while, so he didn't feel all that bad about drugging Sora. As long as the younger boy didn't find out, his naughty conscience would stay clear.
But, being letting the inner child in him come out once again, Sora had wanted Riku to stick with him, and to also read him a bedtime story. How cute. And being the nice kind of guy Riku was, he had stayed with Sora and just babbled on about some times when they were younger, and about all the adventures they would take on. About halfway through his last tale of their childhood, Sora had shut his icy blue eyes, and had let himself drift off to sleep.
But instead of going downstairs to work on Sora's party, Riku had instead stayed with his younger lover and went to sleep with him. This was because he had tired of watching his peaceful lover sleep- no matter how relaxing it could get to watch Sora sleep. And that's how their day had been, uneventful and filled with just sleeping.
"Stay with me. Please?" Well he said please.. And it wasn't easy to deny Sora something when he was cute and used the word, "please." Riku rolled his eyes, before once again smiling and sitting down next to Sora on the bed, letting his hand fall from the brass doorknob, to flatly by his side once again. Riku brushed the brown spikes from his forehead, and held the very tiny and slender frame against his chest dearly.
How can he still be awake? I drugged him only an hour ago. The bottle says that these stupid pills work for eight hours at tops on the average person. Heh, well, I guess Sora isn't average after all.
~Flashback~
"Sora? You're looking kind of tired. Here, drink this." And with that, Riku handed Sora a glass of lemonade. But this was no ordinary glass of water. Riku had slipped sleeping pills in it, just before handing over the concoction to the younger boy. "Drink up!" Riku found his lips curving into a somewhat evil smile as he watched Sora gulping down the lemonade.
"Thanks, I was really ti." His eyelids fluttered a bit, before they finally drooped down completely; leaving Riku with a sleeping Sora. Well, at least his plan had worked. And the bottle says also that all people who use this stuff, aren't supposed to remember falling asleep. It was the perfect thing for drugging people.
The silver haired boy lifted the tiny figure of his sleeping Sora in his strong arms and carried him up the stairs, and into his bedroom. "Jeeze, you've gained weight, oh little one." Riku mumbled before placing his face in his hands and watched Sora sleep peacefully underneath the covers.
~End of Flashback~
Riku smiled evilly. He had always wanted to try drugging Sora- just to see if it would actually work. The boy was constantly, "go-go-go," that while he was awake, Riku had started to wonder if a sleeping pill would work on him or not. Apparently, it took a very strong pill to just knock him out for an hour.
Sora reached up to touch Riku's face. "Nighty night." Sora said, before finally konking out for good. It wasn't even night. It was really only 3:26. Oh well. Riku sighed and gently laid Sora back down on the bed, before he finally crept out of the room and shut the door behind him, trying to not make a noise. Well, maybe the pill was just working in certain increments of time. Such, maybe as, Sora would wake up every other hour or so, but after a couple of minutes he would fall back asleep. It was all very confusing to him at the moment, as Riku rubbed his temple, trying to shake the headache that was forming inside his skull away.
"Night, sleeping beauty." He whispered as soon as leaving the room. Sighing, Riku walked down the stairs, only to be greeted by an overly-hyper Selphie. Kairi was standing next to her, obviously trying to calm her down. Her arms were crossed, but one hand leaning on her hip, as a very annoyed look was plastered upon her face. She actually looked kind of unpleasant, compared to the bouncy Selphie.
"Should we use pink? Pink used to be my favorite color? What's your favorite color, Kairi? Is it pink? No, maybe we shouldn't use pink! Sora might think that we think he's girly! Anyways, my favorite color now is blue!" She continued to babble on, talking to Kairi- although Riku had the distinct feeling that Kairi really didn't give a shit about all of this. After all, she was the one who was planning on becoming Sora's girlfriend, until that one fateful day... but still, Riku could understand why she was being a bit grouchy about this party.
Kairi was rolling her eyes, hands still placed on her hips. Riku pitied her for having to deal with that bouncy ball for so long. "Selphie, we're not using pink." Riku grabbed the roll of streamers from her hand and threw them aside, into a cardboard box filled with other decorating supplies.
"Awwww, but pink is such a pretty color!" God, what was up with her today? She wasn't usually THIS hyper. But sometimes, she would stay at home, depressed on other occasions. It was really quite hard to tell what went on in that mind of hers. Poor Tidus, having to put up with all those different mood swings. Although, Riku and Sora had caught Tidus many times muttering under his breath, "Damn PMS," during a time when which Selphie was going through her mood swings. She did that a lot actually.
"Kairi, did you slip Selphie some happy pills?" Riku asked, trying to avoid Selphie attacking him from the remark. Kairi shook her head impatiently, her red hair flying out on the sides of her face.
"Unlike you, Riku, I don't drug my friends. Or boyfriend. Not that I have one anymore." She added, a bit more harshly. What was she implying here? That Riku was a bad boyfriend to Sora just because he had drugged Sora. It was for a good reason anyway, so what was her problem? Or was it that she was implying that SHE could do a better job of being Sora's girlfriend?
OR maybe even that Riku had taken Sora away from her. Hell, it was Sora's decision who he wanted as his lover. And he had happened to choose Riku. So why was she still stuck on their relationship like it was some nasty bug that needed to be squashed by her overly big shoes? Whatever, Riku shrugged it off, not really wanted to have Kairi get on his nerves on a special day like today.
An eerie silence passed between the three friends until Riku decided to open his mouth and break that silence. "Where are Tidus and Wakka anyway?" Selphie smiled before picking opening the refrigerator and taking out dish after dish of food, unwrapping the saran wrap carefully, and discarding it in the nearby trash can.
"They're.. around." She answered, in a casual tone of voice. "But guys aren't very good at doing party junk. So, we thought we'd just let them hang around and do whatever." The brunette girl reached back into the refrigerator, and taking out a bowl filled with many different colored jelly beans. (Author's Note: o_O Remember, this IS Selphie we're talking about!)
Kairi and Riku exchanged looks as if to say, "Why is she putting jelly beans in the refrigerator?" Kairi then tried to snatch a couple of the miniature jelly beans out of the plastic bowl that brunette girl seemed to be guarding from anyone's sneaky little fingers. Selphie batted the auburn haired girls hand away.
"Nooo! These are for Sora! Kairi, you have to wait!" Kairi crossed her arms and stared down at the floor, not looking at either of the two in the face, but at the pattern of squares mixed upon on the tiled floor.
Neither she, nor Riku talked very much anymore. There was always an uncomfortable silence when those two were stuck in a room together, and one could sense it- the tension, and the stillness of everything. It seemed like anxiety was always built up more easily, and in a more dramatic way whenever it was quite between persons in a still room. It was funny how paranoia could be built up so easily just by silence. Although, it seemed like Kairi and Sora were getting along better than she was with Riku. And that could cause jealousy.
Riku knew it was childish and immature to feel an emotion such as envy or jealousy for Kairi and Sora's relationship. It wasn't fair to the girl, not after he had taken away the love of her life- although it kind of was in a way. After all, Sora didn't feel the same way towards the girl. Although, Kairi wasn't exactly cold to the two boys, she just wasn't sure of what to say to them or what subjects of conversations to come up with. About the way she acted, about their relationship, just about anything really. So usually, they sat in silence until someone else would try to make conversation with the two.
"Riku? You could go upstairs with your Sora if you want to. Kairi and I'll take care of things until then." Riku smiled at what Selphie had just said. Your Sora. God, even though she was annoying as hell sometimes, Selphie could be really sweet if she was in the mood for it, and hadn't had sugar that day... And, it was especially sweet of her and how she had accepted Sora and his relationship so easily. The girl was probably just as supportive of them, just as much as Riku and Sora themselves were.
It was kind of sad, the way she had somehow taken Kairi's place as "one of the trio." But still, Riku wasn't complaining. It wasn't like Selphie was a single girl who had a crush on his boyfriend. But, Kairi did. And he wanted to keep Sora away from her as much as he could, without making it look like he was doing that to be mean to the poor girl.
Riku smiled and went up to hug Selphie playfully around her middle. He saluted Kairi, with a stiff expression plastered upon his pale face, and headed up the stairs to his sleeping Sora, before catching a glimpse of Kairi. She was once again rolling her eyes. That was a bad habit of hers, and it showed a lack of disrespect on her part that would probably get on some adults nerves if she had happened to slip up and rolled those big green eyes at one of their parents one day.
Sora lay sprawled out, in a different position than Riku had just left him in a couple of minutes ago. Now, his legs were spread apart, and his hand was gently lying on his chest, a bit of the rumpled sheets were clutched between his tiny fingers. There was practically no room on the entire bed for poor Riku (not with the smaller boy in this position), so he sat down on the very edge and lay softly on top of Sora. He didn't apply too much pressure, being afraid that it would crush the much smaller mass that was lying right beneath him.
"Mrhph, Riku." Sora rolled around, messing up the sheets a bit more and allowing Riku to slip off of his tiny frame, and able to lie next to him instead. He wiggled a bit, getting himself in a more comfortable position, for a moment, before placing his hand on top of Riku's. Sora smiled a bit from where he was sitting as he felt Riku's fingers caressing his own and intertwined their hands together.
"Yeah?" Riku asked, hoping that Sora wasn't fully awake just yet. He needed to kill some time, just a small amount, just so that Selphie and Kairi could get things going downstairs. Knowing Sora, he wouldn't want to stay in the bedroom with Riku and just sit there for a couple of hours making out, unless he was just really in the mood. He would most likely want to wander around downstairs, watching television with Riku, while Riku would hold him and they would cuddle on the sofa together.
The two had grown so much closer over the past year. Actually, they both hated to admit the reason for all of the closeness, and their relationship even happening in the first place, even though it was the truth.
Kairi.
It was the simple five-lettered name that would probably haunt the two for the rest of their lives. Once the two had spent some time together, and with Kairi out of the way. it had really cleared the path for them to become a couple. She had been Sora's infatuation for so long, and with her gone, he finally had some time to focus his attention back on his old best friend, and new lover.
She hadn't really interfered all that much either, except for the time she had blandly locked Riku inside a closet in some abandoned cabin up in the woodsy areas of Destiny Islands. Although, she had apologized to everyone for that, she was forgiven after all. No biggie. Problems solved.
Not.
Riku still hadn't managed to forgive Kairi for THAT incident. She had wrecked his pride, damnit! He was never looked up to as the same kind of macho guy again in any of his friends eyes. It was weird because no one had suspected Kairi to be able to push Riku into some random closet and not have him escape. Nobody had known her strength that was always hidden behind a see-through skirt.
Riku rolled over to face Sora, who was still sleeping off in his little dream world. "Mmm. jellybeans. Riku. candy.. Christmas.." Riku raised one of his silver eyebrows. What the hell was Sora dreaming about now? Well, whatever it was, Riku wasn't even exactly sure if he wanted to know whatever it was that Sora was envisioning behind his closed eyelids. But, it had to be good if he were in it, right? Riku smirked, letting his self- confidence level raise an extra ten points.
Well, if it were about jellybeans, then the young, hyperactive boy sure would be happy when he found out that Selphie had brought jellybeans as one of the snacks for his little "anniversary party." Although, since Riku could remember, when they were little kids and had jellybeans, Sora didn't like the green ones for some odd reason. Riku usually just found himself curious now as to why, when dude, they all taste practically the same. Or so Riku had thought.
Did Sora even remember their anniversary? Riku sure as hell had. But it didn't really matter if Sora had forgotten the date of when they had officially become a couple. After all, a date was just a number to recognize that something important had happened that day. It wasn't a big deal to him whether Sora had remembered such an insignificant number or not. But then, why had he made such a big deal to remember their anniversary if he didn't give a damn if Sora had or not? Riku blinked, looking around casually.
It was just if he could at least hear the words, "I love you, Riku," escape from Sora's pearly pink lips everyday, forever and ever. That was really all that mattered. To love someone, and to have them love him back in return. And that was really the main reasoning for even starting this stupid party in the first place.
"God, I really need to stop being such a sap for that guy." Riku shook his silvery head before pulling Sora closer to him, and breathing in the boy's sweet scent. Riku wasn't exactly sure of what he smelled like, but it did smell good.
The silver haired boy sure wasn't tired at the moment, even if Sora still was. Fuck sleep at the moment. He was wide awake, and was currently just staring at the sleeping frame of his tiny Sora. "Come on. Wake up already, Sora. Jesus, you sleep like a friggin rock." He tapped Sora's back playfully for a moment, before sighing and running his finger across the tiny curves. And almost as if by magic, Sora awoke from sleeping and hurled himself onto Riku, almost knocking himself and his lover off of the bed and onto the floor.
"RIKU, RIKU, RIKU, RIKU, RIKU, RIKU, RIKU!" Sora was yelling in a very high pitched voice, (not to mention he was also yelling extremely loudly!) causing Riku to cover his ears with his hands, not wanting to listen to his name being shout over and over very in such an annoying manner. He loved Sora, but not his voice. Even if it were Sora yelling his name, Riku hadn't wanted to hear it like that. If he were saying it soft and sensual, then maybe things would be a tad bit different then.
"Sora, Sora, Sora, Sora!" Riku started to tease his more immature boyfriend in a mocking manner. He grabbed Sora by the shoulders and pushed him down on his back onto the bed, in a semi-harsh attitude. But still, Riku was still extremely gentle with Sora, afraid that the small boy's fragile bones and tender muscles would break at any moment if he were handled too harshly. He was almost like that of a porcelain doll. "Are you finally done sleeping? You made me so bored." Sora smiled and flicked a lock of brown hair out of his cerulean eyes.
"Sorry, I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, I just got really really really really really really tired! Ya know how that is, Riku? When you just get so tired and you drift off without even realizing it.." Sora stopped abruptly, just as Riku had crushed his pale, pink lips upon the younger boys, letting his tongue find its way into the small boy's mouth since it still had been slightly open from when he had been rambling on about being so tired.
It was nice to be friends AND lovers at the same time. When they were just acting like friends, Riku had always had this sudden urge to pounce on top of Sora, whereas when they were acting like lovers constantly, they would just randomly kiss and stuff. It got boring either way.
Finally breaking away, Riku stared at Sora with a glint in his eyes. "None of that made any sense what so ever." The older boy shook his silvery head while sighing, "You really are special, Sora." He brushed some of the bangs away from his little lover's eyes and pulled the boy towards his chest. Sora smiled contently. "You're special ed." With that remark, Sora immediately broke away from his contact with Riku's chest and glared at the older boy, with an almost menacing and evil looking frown on his lips. Almost. Sora could never look menacing or evil, no matter how hard he tried.
Before thinking of a more intelligent come back to remark to his older lover, Sora let the first words that came to mind slip out of his mouth. These words were the usual, "I hate you," before leaning his head once again, back onto Riku's chest and sighing contently. "I REALLY hate you."
Oh yeah Sora, you REALLY act like you hate me. Lemme tell ya.
"No you don't." Riku retorted, leaving Sora speechless and paused for a brief moment before carrying on his plan. "If you hated me, then you wouldn't let me do this to you!" Riku pulled Sora up and kissed his neck feather softly, before leaning down again and rubbing his eye lashes across the smaller boy's.
Riku paused again, this time taking even longer. He was thinking of what he could do next to tease his little boyfriend. "Or you wouldn't let me do this either!" Riku then lay right on top of the boy; just letting his nose take in Sora's wonderfully childish sent once again. "See, if you hated me, then you wouldn't let me kiss you. And I know you couldn't go a day without me kissing you." He smirked, possibly one of the biggest smirks Riku had ever put on in his entire life.
Sora opened his wide, blue eyes. "Could so. You're the one who couldn't go a day without kissing ME. Not me being kissed by you." He frowned before getting off of the bed. "Come on, it's so boring in here. I wanna go downstairs and watch T.V. or something." Sora scratched his head in a cute manner and blinked up innocently at Riku with his beautiful blue eyes.
Although his whining did look extremely cute, Riku still didn't want Sora to go downstairs right in the middle of when Kairi and Selphie were setting up the party. He needed to stall enough time to just make sure that they were finished. But Sora was bored. How the hell could someone be bored when he and his lover were in a damn bedroom for crying out loud with no one who might just randomly happen to walk in on them doing anything? Only Sora could..
An idea popped into Riku's head just as Sora had placed his hand on the brass doorknob. "Ohhhhhhhhhh, Sora.!" He cooed, softly and sensually, laying on his side and rubbing his left thigh. "How can you be bored with me around? Because if you come over here and give nice Mr. Riku a kiss right here," and pointed to his mouth, "I don't think you'd be bored anymore." Sora immediately turned around and turned the almost turned the color of a sun burnt tomato. (Author's Note: Heh, in case you were wondering, that's pretty damn red.)
"Riku! You pervert! If you haven't noticed already, I'm not like you are! But." The small, brunette boy trailed off before going back to Riku and laying down next to him. "I guess, I won't be exactly bored then if you put it that way. Right?" Sora flicked a lock of brown hair out of his eyes, before staring back up at Riku, searching him with his eyes and waiting for the obvious answer to be stated.
"Right."
~20 minutes later~
"Sora. I want to show you something." Riku felt like he had given the two girls adequate time enough to complete anything else that they needed to fix up for Sora's party. It had been almost a good forty-five minutes ago that he had visited Selphie and Kairi, to check up on what they had been doing, and had also gotten a surprise peek at what it was the two girls were cooking up in there. Jelly beans. Strangely odd. but not something that someone wouldn't expect from Selphie.
Sora didn't need to express his thoughts with words, only a simple nod escaped from his body language, letting Riku know that he was up for whatever it was that the older boy wanted to show him.
Trust. A single word most people take for granted. They use it in a simple sentence and bear all their life among another person such like their self. But what Riku and Sora had, they had a lifetime worth of trust. Not only as lovers, but as best friends, which seemed at times, to be more important than a romantic relationship. It was just fun to hang around and be their regular self, their inner self- their childhood memories and such.
The older boy took his lovers hand and led him down the staircase. When they finally reached the bottom floor, Riku stood behind Sora and wrapped his hands in front of the smaller boy's blue eyes. "Okay, don't open them until I say so. Got it?" Riku asked Sora, a smirk finding its way onto his face once again.
The smaller boy nodded before gulping. What the hell was Riku planning now?
Riku guided him down the hallway, making sure not to let Sora trip or randomly bump into anything. "Okay you can open them now, Sora." Riku smiled and pressed his face up close to Sora's. Kairi and Selphie were standing in one corner of what was his living room next to a table with a c.d. player on it. Tidus and Wakka were sitting in nearby chairs, randomly chit-chatting. "I hope you like it."
"Oh, Riku! I love it!" Sora smiled before kissing Riku contently. He was the happiest person alive thanks to Riku. And somehow, he wanted to pay him back tonight. ^_~

How can he still be awake? I drugged him only an hour ago. The bottle says that these stupid pills work for eight hours at tops on the average person. Heh, well, I guess Sora isn't average after all.
~Flashback~
"Sora? You're looking kind of tired. Here, drink this." And with that, Riku handed Sora a glass of lemonade. But this was no ordinary glass of water. Riku had slipped sleeping pills in it, just before handing over the concoction to the younger boy. "Drink up!"

Kairi was standing next to her, obviously trying to calm her down. Her arms were crossed, but one hand leaning on her hip, as a very annoyed look was plastered upon her face. She actually looked kind of unpleasant, compared to the bouncy Selphie.
"Should we use pink? Pink used to be my favorite color? What's your favorite color, Kairi? Is it pink? No, maybe we shouldn't use pink! Sora might think that we think he's girly! Anyways, my favorite color now is blue!" She continued to babble on, talking to Kairi- although Riku had the distinct feeling that Kairi really didn't give a shit about all of this. After all, she was the one who was planning on becoming Sora's girlfriend, until that one fateful day... but still, Riku could understand why she was being a bit grouchy about this party.
Kairi was rolling her eyes, hands still placed on her hips. Riku pitied her for having to deal with that bouncy ball for so long. "Selphie, we're not using pink." Riku grabbed the roll of streamers from her hand and threw them aside, into a cardboard box filled with other decorating supplies.
"Awwww, but pink is such a pretty color!" God, what was up with her today? She wasn't usually THIS hyper. But sometimes, she would stay at home, depressed on other occasions. It was really quite hard to tell what went on in that mind of hers. Poor Tidus, having to put up with all those different mood swings. Although, Riku and Sora had caught Tidus many times muttering under his breath, "Damn PMS," during a time when which Selphie was going through her mood swings. She did that a lot actually.
"Kairi, did you slip Selphie some happy pills?" Riku asked, trying to avoid Selphie attacking him from the remark. Kairi shook her head impatiently, her red hair flying out on the sides of her face.
"Unlike you, Riku, I don't drug my friends. Or boyfriend. Not that I have one anymore." She added, a bit more harshly. What was she implying here? That Riku was a bad boyfriend to Sora just because he had drugged Sora. It was for a good reason anyway, so what was her problem? Or was it that she was implying that SHE could do a better job of being Sora's girlfriend?
OR maybe even that Riku had taken Sora away from her. Hell, it was Sora's decision who he wanted as his lover. And he had happened to choose Riku. So why was she still stuck on their relationship like it was some nasty bug that needed to be squashed by her overly big shoes? Whatever, Riku shrugged it off, not really wanted to have Kairi get on his nerves on a special day like today.
An eerie silence passed between the three friends until Riku decided to open his mouth and break that silence. "Where are Tidus and Wakka anyway?" Selphie smiled before picking opening the refrigerator and taking out dish after dish of food, unwrapping the saran wrap carefully, and discarding it in the nearby trash can.
"They're.. around." She answered, in a casual tone of voice. "But guys aren't very good at doing party junk. So, we thought we'd just let them hang around and do whatever." The brunette girl reached back into the refrigerator, and taking out a bowl filled with many different colored jelly beans. (Author's Note: o_O Remember, this IS Selphie we're talking about!)
Kairi and Riku exchanged looks as if to say, "Why is she putting jelly beans in the refrigerator?" Kairi then tried to snatch a couple of the miniature jelly beans out of the plastic bowl that brunette girl seemed to be guarding from anyone's sneaky little fingers. Selphie batted the auburn haired girls hand away.
"Nooo! These are for Sora! Kairi, you have to wait!" Kairi crossed her arms and stared down at the floor, not looking at either of the two in the face, but at the pattern of squares mixed upon on the tiled floor.
Neither she, nor Riku talked very much anymore. There was always an uncomfortable silence when those two were stuck in a room together, and one could sense it- the tension, and the stillness of everything. It seemed like anxiety was always built up more easily, and in a more dramatic way whenever it was quite between persons in a still room. It was funny how paranoia could be built up so easily just by silence. Although, it seemed like Kairi and Sora were getting along better than she was with Riku. And that could cause jealousy.
Riku knew it was childish and immature to feel an emotion such as envy or jealousy for Kairi and Sora's relationship. It wasn't fair to the girl, not after he had taken away the love of her life- although it kind of was in a way. After all, Sora didn't feel the same way towards the girl. Although, Kairi wasn't exactly cold to the two boys, she just wasn't sure of what to say to them or what subjects of conversations to come up with. About the way she acted, about their relationship, just about anything really. So usually, they sat in silence until someone else would try to make conversation with the two.
"Riku? You could go upstairs with your Sora if you want to. Kairi and I'll take care of things until then." Riku smiled at what Selphie had just said. Your Sora. God, even though she was annoying as hell sometimes, Selphie could be really sweet if she was in the mood for it, and hadn't had sugar that day... And, it was especially sweet of her and how she had accepted Sora and his relationship so easily. The girl was probably just as supportive of them, just as much as Riku and Sora themselves were.
It was kind of sad, the way she had somehow taken Kairi's place as "one of the trio." But still, Riku wasn't complaining. It wasn't like Selphie was a single girl who had a crush on his boyfriend. But, Kairi did. And he wanted to keep Sora away from her as much as he could, without making it look like he was doing that to be mean to the poor girl.
Riku smiled and went up to hug Selphie playfully around her middle. He saluted Kairi, with a stiff expression plastered upon his pale face, and headed up the stairs to his sleeping Sora, before catching a glimpse of Kairi. She was once again rolling her eyes. That was a bad habit of hers, and it showed a lack of disrespect on her part that would probably get on some adults nerves if she had happened to slip up and rolled those big green eyes at one of their parents one day.
Sora lay sprawled out, in a different position than Riku had just left him in a couple of minutes ago. Now, his legs were spread apart, and his hand was gently lying on his chest, a bit of the rumpled sheets were clutched between his tiny fingers. There was practically no room on the entire bed for poor Riku (not with the smaller boy in this position), so he sat down on the very edge and lay softly on top of Sora. He didn't apply too much pressure, being afraid that it would crush the much smaller mass that was lying right beneath him.
"Mrhph, Riku." Sora rolled around, messing up the sheets a bit more and allowing Riku to slip off of his tiny frame, and able to lie next to him instead. He wiggled a bit, getting himself in a more comfortable position, for a moment, before placing his hand on top of Riku's. Sora smiled a bit from where he was sitting as he felt Riku's fingers caressing his own and intertwined their hands together.
"Yeah?" Riku asked, hoping that Sora wasn't fully awake just yet. He needed to kill some time, just a small amount, just so that Selphie and Kairi could get things going downstairs. Knowing Sora, he wouldn't want to stay in the bedroom with Riku and just sit there for a couple of hours making out, unless he was just really in the mood. He would most likely want to wander around downstairs, watching television with Riku, while Riku would hold him and they would cuddle on the sofa together.
The two had grown so much closer over the past year. Actually, they both hated to admit the reason for all of the closeness, and their relationship even happening in the first place, even though it was the truth.
Kairi.
It was the simple five-lettered name that would probably haunt the two for the rest of their lives. Once the two had spent some time together, and with Kairi out of the way. it had really cleared the path for them to become a couple. She had been Sora's infatuation for so long, and with her gone, he finally had some time to focus his attention back on his old best friend, and new lover.
She hadn't really interfered all that much either, except for the time she had blandly locked Riku inside a closet in some abandoned cabin up in the woodsy areas of Destiny Islands. Although, she had apologized to everyone for that, she was forgiven after all. No biggie. Problems solved.
Not.
Riku still hadn't managed to forgive Kairi for THAT incident. She had wrecked his pride, damnit! He was never looked up to as the same kind of macho guy again in any of his friends eyes. It was weird because no one had suspected Kairi to be able to push Riku into some random closet and not have him escape. Nobody had known her strength that was always hidden behind a see-through skirt.
Riku rolled over to face Sora, who was still sleeping off in his little dream world. "Mmm. jellybeans. Riku. candy.. Christmas.." Riku raised one of his silver eyebrows. What the hell was Sora dreaming about now? Well, whatever it was, Riku wasn't even exactly sure if he wanted to know whatever it was that Sora was envisioning behind his closed eyelids. But, it had to be good if he were in it, right? Riku smirked, letting his self- confidence level raise an extra ten points.
Well, if it were about jellybeans, then the young, hyperactive boy sure would be happy when he found out that Selphie had brought jellybeans as one of the snacks for his little "anniversary party." Although, since Riku could remember, when they were little kids and had jellybeans, Sora didn't like the green ones for some odd reason. Riku usually just found himself curious now as to why, when dude, they all taste practically the same. Or so Riku had thought.
Did Sora even remember their anniversary? Riku sure as hell had. But it didn't really matter if Sora had forgotten the date of when they had officially become a couple. After all, a date was just a number to recognize that something important had happened that day. It wasn't a big deal to him whether Sora had remembered such an insignificant number or not. But then, why had he made such a big deal to remember their anniversary if he didn't give a damn if Sora had or not? Riku blinked, looking around casually.
It was just if he could at least hear the words, "I love you, Riku," escape from Sora's pearly pink lips everyday, forever and ever. That was really all that mattered. To love someone, and to have them love him back in return. And that was really the main reasoning for even starting this stupid party in the first place.
"God, I really need to stop being such a sap for that guy." Riku shook his silvery head before pulling Sora closer to him, and breathing in the boy's sweet scent. Riku wasn't exactly sure of what he smelled like, but it did smell good.
The silver haired boy sure wasn't tired at the moment, even if Sora still was. Fuck sleep at the moment. He was wide awake, and was currently just staring at the sleeping frame of his tiny Sora. "Come on. Wake up already, Sora. Jesus, you sleep like a friggin rock." He tapped Sora's back playfully for a moment, before sighing and running his finger across the tiny curves. And almost as if by magic, Sora awoke from sleeping and hurled himself onto Riku, almost knocking himself and his lover off of the bed and onto the floor.
"RIKU, RIKU, RIKU, RIKU, RIKU, RIKU, RIKU!" Sora was yelling in a very high pitched voice, (not to mention he was also yelling extremely loudly!) causing Riku to cover his ears with his hands, not wanting to listen to his name being shout over and over very in such an annoying manner. He loved Sora, but not his voice. Even if it were Sora yelling his name, Riku hadn't wanted to hear it like that. If he were saying it soft and sensual, then maybe things would be a tad bit different then.
"Sora, Sora, Sora, Sora!" Riku started to tease his more immature boyfriend in a mocking manner. He grabbed Sora by the shoulders and pushed him down on his back onto the bed, in a semi-harsh attitude. But still, Riku was still extremely gentle with Sora, afraid that the small boy's fragile bones and tender muscles would break at any moment if he were handled too harshly. He was almost like that of a porcelain doll. "Are you finally done sleeping? You made me so bored." Sora smiled and flicked a lock of brown hair out of his cerulean eyes.
"Sorry, I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, I just got really really really really really really tired! Ya know how that is, Riku? When you just get so tired and you drift off without even realizing it.." Sora stopped abruptly, just as Riku had crushed his pale, pink lips upon the younger boys, letting his tongue find its way into the small boy's mouth since it still had been slightly open from when he had been rambling on about being so tired.
It was nice to be friends AND lovers at the same time. When they were just acting like friends, Riku had always had this sudden urge to pounce on top of Sora, whereas when they were acting like lovers constantly, they would just randomly kiss and stuff. It got boring either way.
Finally breaking away, Riku stared at Sora with a glint in his eyes. "None of that made any sense what so ever." The older boy shook his silvery head while sighing, "You really are special, Sora." He brushed some of the bangs away from his little lover's eyes and pulled the boy towards his chest. Sora smiled contently. "You're special ed." With that remark, Sora immediately broke away from his contact with Riku's chest and glared at the older boy, with an almost menacing and evil looking frown on his lips. Almost. Sora could never look menacing or evil, no matter how hard he tried.
Before thinking of a more intelligent come back to remark to his older lover, Sora let the first words that came to mind slip out of his mouth. These words were the usual, "I hate you," before leaning his head once again, back onto Riku's chest and sighing contently. "I REALLY hate you."
Oh yeah Sora, you REALLY act like you hate me. Lemme tell ya.
"No you don't." Riku retorted, leaving Sora speechless and paused for a brief moment before carrying on his plan. "If you hated me, then you wouldn't let me do this to you!" Riku pulled Sora up and kissed his neck feather softly, before leaning down again and rubbing his eye lashes across the smaller boy's.
Riku paused again, this time taking even longer. He was thinking of what he could do next to tease his little boyfriend. "Or you wouldn't let me do this either!" Riku then lay right on top of the boy; just letting his nose take in Sora's wonderfully childish sent once again. "See, if you hated me, then you wouldn't let me kiss you. And I know you couldn't go a day without me kissing you." He smirked, possibly one of the biggest smirks Riku had ever put on in his entire life.
Sora opened his wide, blue eyes. "Could so. You're the one who couldn't go a day without kissing ME. Not me being kissed by you." He frowned before getting off of the bed. "Come on, it's so boring in here. I wanna go downstairs and watch T.V. or something." Sora scratched his head in a cute manner and blinked up innocently at Riku with his beautiful blue eyes.
Although his whining did look extremely cute, Riku still didn't want Sora to go downstairs right in the middle of when Kairi and Selphie were setting up the party. He needed to stall enough time to just make sure that they were finished. But Sora was bored. How the hell could someone be bored when he and his lover were in a damn bedroom for crying out loud with no one who might just randomly happen to walk in on them doing anything? Only Sora could..
An idea popped into Riku's head just as Sora had placed his hand on the brass doorknob. "Ohhhhhhhhhh, Sora.!" He cooed, softly and sensually, laying on his side and rubbing his left thigh. "How can you be bored with me around? Because if you come over here and give nice Mr. Riku a kiss right here," and pointed to his mouth, "I don't think you'd be bored anymore." Sora immediately turned around and turned the almost turned the color of a sun burnt tomato. (Author's Note: Heh, in case you were wondering, that's pretty damn red.)
"Riku! You pervert! If you haven't noticed already, I'm not like you are! But." The small, brunette boy trailed off before going back to Riku and laying down next to him. "I guess, I won't be exactly bored then if you put it that way. Right?" Sora flicked a lock of brown hair out of his eyes, before staring back up at Riku, searching him with his eyes and waiting for the obvious answer to be stated.
"Right."
~20 minutes later~
"Sora. I want to show you something." Riku felt like he had given the two girls adequate time enough to complete anything else that they needed to fix up for Sora's party. It had been almost a good forty-five minutes ago that he had visited Selphie and Kairi, to check up on what they had been doing, and had also gotten a surprise peek at what it was the two girls were cooking up in there. Jelly beans. Strangely odd. but not something that someone wouldn't expect from Selphie.
Sora didn't need to express his thoughts with words, only a simple nod escaped from his body language, letting Riku know that he was up for whatever it was that the older boy wanted to show him.
Trust. A single word most people take for granted. They use it in a simple sentence and bear all their life among another person such like their self. But what Riku and Sora had, they had a lifetime worth of trust. Not only as lovers, but as best friends, which seemed at times, to be more important than a romantic relationship. It was just fun to hang around and be their regular self, their inner self- their childhood memories and such.
The older boy took his lovers hand and led him down the staircase. When they finally reached the bottom floor, Riku stood behind Sora and wrapped his hands in front of the smaller boy's blue eyes. "Okay, don't open them until I say so. Got it?" Riku asked Sora, a smirk finding its way onto his face once again.
The smaller boy nodded before gulping. What the hell was Riku planning now?
Riku guided him down the hallway, making sure not to let Sora trip or randomly bump into anything. "Okay you can open them now, Sora." Riku smiled and pressed his face up close to Sora's. Kairi and Selphie were standing in one corner of what was his living room next to a table with a c.d. player on it. Tidus and Wakka were sitting in nearby chairs, randomly chit-chatting. "I hope you like it."
"Oh, Riku! I love it!" Sora smiled before kissing Riku contently. He was the happiest person alive thanks to Riku. And somehow, he wanted to pay him back tonight. ^_~

Author's Note: I TOLD YOU I LEFT OFF ABRUPTLY! Heh, if anyone would like to make a sequel to this like explaining the party and stuff or making a lemon- since someone could really take that last sentence in a perverted way, then just email me and tell me. Thanks for reading- I had fun writing this. Okay, I admit though- I didn't make my 10 page goal. *cries* I'm such a quitter. I wrote like 9 pages and a couple of sentences on a 10th page. Well, still, I hope you all liked! I know I don't! Yes, I still think my fic. is horrible. Well, that's all! Bye!
