Here it is a bit earlier than I planned but we had a house showing so I sat on the back porch and whipped this out. This will be it for this story! No more. Don't ask. But if you have new ideas for stories, I'm all ears.
EPILOUGE
"Hey, either of you seen Riku?"
Roxas didn't take the time to stop sucking on Axel's neck to answer. He only pointed in the direction of the raised clubhouse toward the other side of the island. Those two had been literally inseparable since Roxas had been returned the prior month.
"Uh, thanks." He ran off that way, soon coming across Kairi. "You know if Riku's over here?"
"Think so." She said absently, reading some book she picked up detailing why all the good men were gay and how to use it to your advantage . She'd gone totally fan girl on them and was constantly asking to watch him and Riku make out. Roxas and Axel actually let her. His other was sooo weird. "Why?"
"We got a letter from Aerith."
"Oh?" She closed her book. "I wanna hear."
Sora shrugged and she followed him to the wide post the clubhouse was on top of. ""You up there, Riku?"
A frantic skittering was hear and a moment later, Riku's head appeared out the window. Hey, uh, what's up?"
"What were you doing up there?"
"Nothing." He said that a bit too quickly.
"Well, Aerith sent us a letter."
"Oh, I'll be right down." He disappeared for a minute, more shuffling ensued. He climbed down the ladder, backside clearly defined in his board shorts. Sora found himself staring.
Kairi giggled loudly which snapped him out of it. "You're drooling again."
Sora actually wiped at his mouth. Then he glared at her. Stupid fangirl.
Riku was on the ground now and he gave Sora a wide grin that made the boy want to jump him right there, Kairi or not. "So what's it say?"
"Huh? OH." Sora blinked. He pulled out the sheet of paper.
"Hey! Why are we being left out of the orgy?" Axel loudly asked from the bridge. Roxas was riding him piggy back.
"I wish!" Kairi replied.
"I got a letter from Aerith!" Sora shouted back. Man, he was getting tired of saying that. "If you wanna hear it, get over here."
Axel somehow managed to jump the ten feet down and not dislodge the blonde from his back. He jogged over and joined the little group.
Sora began reading. "Dear Sora, Riku, and Kairi,"
"Hey, why aren't we addressed?" Roxas frowned.
"And of course Roxas and Axel." Sora added with a glare. "You didn't let me finish."
Roxas poked his tongue at him. Axel slapped his leg. "Hey, that's for me only."
"Continuing." Riku refocused the conversation. He placed both hands on Sora's shoulders rubbing them. "Go ahead."
"I hope things are going well on the Island. Yuffie and I have been trying to convince Leon to lift his banning so you can visit but he won't budge. Even Cloud has tried but Leon simply tells him it's only another five months and you were lucky the banishment wasn't permanent."
Riku snorted. "I don't know why he's being so stubborn about it. It got him together with Cloud."
"However, Roxas and Axel are welcome whenever they like."
"What?" Riku's jaw dropped.
"I think Roxas's mommy misses him and though he'll never admit it, his daddy too."
Axel squeezed Roxas's legs. "Awww, see? It isn't just you. Cloud and Leon miss you too. Hey, we should go see the folks and try to weasel some munny outta them."
"Ha! So the fanfic was true!" Kairi laughed. "Roxas is Cloud and Leon's baby! That's so freakin' awesome."
"That's so not fair!" Riku was actually pouting. Sora found it extremely alluring. The silver haired one glared at Roxas. "It's your fault the whole damn mess started!"
Roxas smirked. "It's always easier to forgive your own child."
"Fuck you."
"That's what you have Sora for."
"Can I finish reading this?"
"Yeah." Riku folded his arms angrily, still giving the former Nobodies dirty looks.
"Where was I… oh. They've moved in together and even have a room for Roxas. Yuffie still maintains that they should have a real baby and has been secretly talking to Merlin about it."
"Oh, that won't end well." Riku commented.
"Sephiroth came to see us a few days ago. He's spent the past month in a psychiatric ward and has been certified as sane again. He's… very different now. He apologized for killing me and we're going out for dinner tomorrow night."
"Whoa, Aerith's hooking up with Sephiroth?" Kairi looked as stunned as the rest of them. "How the hell does that work?"
"Who knows?" Axel shrugged. "She's kinda twisted herself."
"And finally, Demyx and Zexion have completely rebuilt the castle and are letting orphans live with them. They donated a great deal of munny to the Restoration and are highly admired around here. The new library is being named after them."
"Waaaiitt." Axel drew out the word. He looked up at Roxas who was beginning to look really pissed. "They said…"
"I'm going to fucking kill them." Roxas's tone was laced with fury.
Kairi tilted her head. "You haven't been getting a cut from the DVD sales?"
"They said the tapes got destroyed when the meteor hit!" Axel shouted.
"Oh, man!" She twisted in amusement, hitting her leg with a light slap. "It's like the best selling thing on the internet! It's made millions! Every fangirl wants it."
The lovers looked at each other. "We as sooo outta here."
Axel took off, Roxas still on his back glowering.
"So that's the news here." Sora continued in irritation. "I hope everything there is well and we will be able to see you soon. Aerith."
"Well, I'm glad things are working out." Kairi grinned. "Dem and Zexy are soooo dead when those two get there."
The two boys nodded.
She glanced between them a moment, the barest of grins on her face. "Well, I'm going back to my book. I will make money off you two somehow."
"Whatever." Riku waved her off.
Once alone, Sora noticed Riku was still brooding. He stuffed the letter into his pocket and stepped closer to the taller boy. "Leon's just a stubborn ass."
"I know." Riku muttered. "It still pisses me off."
Sora looked up at him with totally innocent eyes. "Want me to take your mind off of it?"
Riku smirked, his gaze anything but innocent. "And just how do you plan to do that?"
"Oh, I don't know." Sora drew circles on Riku's chest. "There's gotta be something I can do."
Riku pulled the smaller one to him, impatient. Without another word, he captured Sora's lips and hands slowly began roaming. After a few minutes, he muttered against Sora's neck. "There's too much sand down here."
"So we go up."
The pair did so, Sora first allowing Riku a pleasant view of his cute little butt. Climbing over the edge, Sora twisted himself as he scooted back to let Riku in. The older teen was on him immediately and the two rolled together on the wood floor.
There was a large ratty blanket off to the left and when Sora's back fell upon it, something poked it. "Ugh, what is that?"
Suddenly, Riku looked panicked. "Nothing, a loose board probably."
He tried to continue the make out session but now Sora's mind was distracted. He squirmed away and went to move the blanket. Riku began protesting but it was too late.
"What is this?" Sora frowned. "I thought you got rid of the laptop. You said you did."
"Well, it's too expensive to just throw out." Riku argued weakly.
The computer was open and with a light touch to the mouse, the screensaver disappeared and words took it's place. "You aren't reading more fanfic, are you?"
"No."
Sora peered closer. "Wait a minute, wait just one darn minute. This is the word processor."
He whirled on Riku. "You're writing this stuff now?!"
"It's just… some odd thoughts." Riku managed to yoink the machine and close it flat. "A journal… chronicling our relationship."
Sora narrowed his eyes.
"I mean it! It's not like I'm posting it or anything!"
Sora sighed. "You're addicted."
Riku smirked suggestively and crept up to the brunette. "Only to you."
He pounced again and Sora decided it wasn't worth the effort to lecture Riku on the evils of fanfic. It wasn't like it could start anything worse than what they'd been through the last time, right?
Too bad he didn't notice the red-haired girl watching them outside the window with a note book who had recently discovered an ability to draw she never had before who was now giggling to herself. "Thank you, Namine."
