A present for a girl who is quite possibly the best friend known to man. xD Here it is, Sakura. Love you.
There was a knock at Sora's door. Between coughs, the boy choked out a come in.
The door swung open to reveal Riku standing in the doorway, a small bag in one hand. He stepped in and shut the door behind him, then made his way over to Sora's bed and sat down. Sora was watching the bag with interest. Riku saw this and rolled his eyes, tossing it to him. Cookies. Sugar. I know you like them. I even went through all the trouble of having to sneak them past your mother. She was freaking out that you'd choke on one of them and die.
Death by cookies was obviously not something that frightened Sora, because the minute he caught the package he pulled one out and shoved the entire thing in his mouth at once. This proved to be a stupid idea once the chewing-and-swallowing bit came about. Riku raised an eyebrow. Well, if I had known that you'd end up doing that, maybe I might've actually listened to her. The brunette grinned after digesting the treat successfully, then started on another one. The older boy sighed exasperatedly.
So you've got a cold, huh? Sora nodded twice as he went about chewing the second cookie. Sucks for you. You're lucky I'm so nice, Riku smirked. As an afterthought, he added, I don't see your Kairi coming over to snuggle you and fuss over you or do anything of that sort like she usually does. I even invited her along, too. He shook his head. Girls, I swear. Probably afraid of the germs.
Upon swallowing the second, Sora frowned and reached inside the bag for a third. I'm sure she's worried about me, he protested, sticking the cookie in his mouth.
Riku snorted derisively. She sure seems worried.Forget it. Riku watched in silence as Sora made for his fourth cookie. Good lord, how many did Mom put in there? I told her not to give you too many, you're going to get on some kind of delusional sugarhigh and I'll get blamed for it...But they're so good, Sora pouted. You know I love the stuff your mom bakes...Maybe a bit too much. Riku got up. Anyway, you're doing fine and that's good enough for me. I'll come by again tomorrow... Sora called out as he was heading to the door. the silver-haired boy asked curiously.
Sora looked down and fidgeted with his sheets. ...Stay with me, please? I don't like being up here by myself, and Mom only comes in to bother me about taking my medicine... and...
There was a pause.
...I like having you near me, Riku.
Riku stared in silence for a moment. He moved back to the bed, only this time he held Sora close. Whatever you want.
