Detention

Chapter 13

It was well after everyone had had their dinner and Sora and Riku were sitting side by side chatting happily, well Riku was doing most of the talking Sora still seemed not himself.

Sephiroth Leon and Cloud were in the kitchen cleaning up the older silverette had suggested that they do the cleaning to give the boys some time alone. however things in the kichen where not what could be called loving or harmonious.

Leon had been taunging the blonde all afternoon slightly jealous that they two have been spending more time with eachother then not. Normally they shared their time together and everything went smoothly. His work hours had changed though and when he was home they were always cuddled up together.

"Aw come on blondie i think i should be the one pouting." Sephiroth had been watching the two, he was a little worried he didnt want to loose either of them. Lately they had been at eachothers throats and he could see the stress getting to them and feel it within himself.

"You two stop being childish and lets get these dishes finished we can all talk about this later once Riku and Sora are alseep." By then the two lovers should have cooled off some.

"Hm I think Id be better off with those two" Leon muttered, the silverettes whole body stiffened. Carefully he put down the glass he had been washing and walked over to the brunette. Leon found his arms in a tight grip and himself being turned to face a rather tense and annoyhed looking Sephiroth. Oh shit! Was the thought that went through his mind.

"Mine." Was all that was growled out before Leon was pinned against the bench being thoroughly kissed.

Fighting back Leon tried to dominate the kiss this only earned him another growl and the strong body pushed against his more firmly, with a moan the brunette submitted. Cloud stood back watching the sight before him. Feeling a lump lodge itself in his throat he fled the room to sit with the two younger males. His sudden departure was noticed by noth the lovers who broke apart. Cursing they followed the blonde back into the lounge room.

Sitting on the lounge was Riku Sora and Cloud who ignored them as they walked in the room Sora was watching them and didnt seem to know what to do, Riku shot a look back and forth the tense nature coming from the other males was causing Sora to feel uncomforable again and he had only just started to relax.

"Why dont you pick a movie Sora?" Riku said looking up at his brother again. He could tell that the main conflict was between the brunette and the blonde though Leon seemed to be the one that was annoyed.

"How about this one?" Sora called happily Cloud answered but Riku didnt hear him with how focussed on his brother to see if he could understand what was going on.

"Sora this is a rather graphic horror film." He said the brunette just shrugged and Cloud knew the other boy had put his walls up. Handing it back to Riku he watched as they put it in Sora resumed his seat next to the blonde happily waiting for Riku to come sit back down with him.

"Guys sit down and we can all watch the movie." Sora said happily sitting back down between Riku and Cloud the younger silverette shot him a smile happy to hear him sounding more like himself again.

Cloud looked over at his cousin concerned when he caught Rikus eyes. Aqua eyes held determination and genuine caring deciding that he would let Riku be there for Sora he turned back to the movie as it started.

Sephiroth nudged Leon and moved to the other seat closer to the blonde, he would sort all this out after the movie. Watching the movie Cloud continued to keep and eye on Sora ignoring the occassional looked from his lovers. As the movie went on everyone settled in and watched.

Riku watched the movie rather bored he really found nothing interesting in horror movies here was no real original storyline to any oth them. feeling Sora shift beside him the silverette turned his attention to the other. Soras eyes were wide. A loud scream cam from the movie and the brunette jumped. Carefully he touched Soras wrist making him jump again. Blue eyes met his and Riku smiled hoping to calm the other he was surprised when Sora grabbed his hand, lacing their fingers together. Riku rubbed his thumb over the back of Sora hand offering comfort.

Turning back to the movie he missed the look from Cloud at the two.

Through the rest of the movie Riku and Sora found themselves more focussed on their joined hands then the movie. Cloud watched the movie in silence while Leon laughed. Sephiroth sat in his chair thinking about ways to make the blonde happy.

By the end of the movie Sora was sitting close to Riku hjis heart going a million kilometers a minute from the remaining fright from the movie. Riku watched him for a minute before looking over when Leon stood and stretched.

The brunette turned his attention to his lovers noticing the blonde was asleep. At Sephirothers look he nodded and headed for their room knowing the two would be following soon.

The older silverette stood and carefully scooped the blonde into his arms; smiling when the smaller form muttered in his sleep.

"Boys why don't you go and watch a movie in Rikus room that way you wont fall asleep out here if you get tired while watching it" He said quietly before walking off toward his room with his lover in his arms. "Ill see you boys in the morning."

Riku stood and picked a comedy knowing that Sora was still a little shaken from the horror that they had just finished watching.

"Come on we'll grab some drinks before we head up to the room for while we are watching." Riku made himself a coffee and Sora a hot chocolate laughing when the smaller maled said that he wouldnt sleep if he had a coffee. Getting up to the room Riku looked around and frowned.

"Uh do you mind if we share the bed or I can go get Leon or Sephiroth to help me get out one of the futons" Sora blushed and looked down hiding his face...Riku goes to walk out

"Its fine really, if you don't mind then its fine." Riku could feel his pulse jump a little but he was honestly a bit tired and wouldnt do anything that could make Sora feel in the least ways uncomfortable.

Moving over to the tv he turned everything on and put the dvd on and then sat back on the bed with Sora to watch the movie.

Riku could feel himself smiling everytime the brunette laughed, he wasnt even watching the movie anymore simply watching Soras every reaction. Blue eyes suddenly turned toward him. Sora blushed noticing that Rikus attention was on him.

"Uh Riku?"

"Yeah" The silverette said smiling at him causing Sora to look away, maybe he was imagining all of it maybe that was all it was. That made more sense then anything else he could think of didnt it?

"Dont worry its not important." Sora watched Riku his smile didnt go but he did raise an eyebrow. Turning back to the movie Sora hoped that Riku would shift his attention to the movie as well and not pester him about what he had been going to ask.

"hey Sora?" When the brunette turned back to him Riku launched at him tackling him back against the bed smirking. "How about you tell me what you were going to say?" For half a second he wondered if maybe he had done the wrong thing by getting Sora to tell him.

"No its nothing to worry about." Sora said shifting when the others hand brushed his ribs. He hoped that Riku hadnt noticed the reaction but of course the silverettes keen eyes had spotted the small movement. At first he had thought that Sora was still a little jumpy or didnt want him that close but as he moved again and brushed the other side of the brunette he heard it. One of the most wonderful sounds that existed.

A giggle.

"Sora are you tickleish?" He asked smiling wider and looking down at him. "No." The brunette denied as quickly as he could. Too late realising his mistake.

"Gah ah hahahahahaha, no stop" Sora cried while laughing Riku shifted his position so he could eaier hold back Soras hands and tickle him at the same time. Watching as the brunette beneith him laughed and tried to squirm away.

Stoping for a moment realisation of their position dawned on both of them. Sora flushed bright red and even Rikus cheeks seemed to take on a faint pink hue. Moving back Riku helped Sora up. Riku had had another reason for moving and laying down; as soon as he had realised their positions so had his body. Thinking about the way Sora looked below him he took a deep breath and tried to clear his mind of such thoughts.

After a few minutes he had managed to concentrate back on the movie though he had to resist the urge to look over at the other every so often. The urge to look at Sora was nagging at the back of his head and Riku finally gave in deciding if Sora noticed him looking hed simply say he was going to get up for a drink and offer.

When he turned his attention to the brunette he found that he was asleep. Getting up he got a blanket and turned off the tv. Moving back to the bed he covered the other witht he blanket before getting under it himself looking over at Sora he smiled at himself.

If only Sora could see how beautiful he was leaning down he placing a light kiss on the others cheek. Sora shifted in his sleep before snuggling down into the bed further. Riku laid back watching the other smiling about how beautiful the other was.

oh for gods sake what next soon Ill be squealing like a fan girl when I see something cute or a baby animal laying back down he closed his eyes and allowed sleep to take him

Sora whimpered and shifted in the bed causing Riku to stir slightly. Noticing nothing in his fog hazed mind he drifted back off to sleep.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Sora screamed bolting upright in his sleep, Riku shot up and off the bed landing with a thump. Getting up he made his way back on to the bed and the figure shaking violently in the middle of it. "Sora?" He whispered not wanting to startle the boy too much, a small sob was his only answer.

Riku pulled the younger boy too him wrapping his arms around him gently stroking his hair and whispering that it was alright and that everything was ok. The door opened and the light was flicked on and Cloud walked in looking very concerned Sephiroth right behind him.

"I'm sorry" Sora muttered looking down at the blankets. he couldnt believe that hed flipped out like that over a dream and hed worried everyone else as well. Riku lifted his face so that he was looking at him and smiled reasuringly. "You have nothing to be sorry about Sora, you have been though a lot today." The small brunette nodded a little and looked down again. Riku sighed if only he could get through to him.

The others left the room and Sora was still in Rikus arms he wanted the comfort that he found in them and the warmth they offered freely.

"Sora, lets lie down and go back to sleep." Riku said quietly watching him closely, he could feel the muscles tense at the mention of going back to sleep in the other and he cursed himself. He just wanted Sora to feel better.

"I- can I ask you a favour?" came the small voice from against his chest. "anything."

"Can you hold me." This confused the silverette he was already holding the other. "When we lie down to go back to sleep could you still hold me I- it makes me feel better."

Sora sounded so fragile that he couldnt help but feel as though the sadness the other was feeling. "Of course Sora, just relax."

It was long hours before either found sleep and once they had at every movement and shift of Soras body the silverette would open his eyes checking on the other.

When morning came Sora woke and found himself still in Rikus arms the silverette was awake and watching him.

"Good morning Sora, are you feeling better?" The words brought back the night before and the nightmare. But he just nodded shifting so that Riku would let him up and then left the room to have a shower.

After his shower he came back to the room to find that Riku was no longer in the room. Looking around his attention was caught by the sound of voices coming from the kitchen heading toward he he could feel his nerves rising a bit.

When he walked into the room Sora felt like everything stopped everyone was looking at him. Cloud smiled at him asking him if he wanted anything he nodded and the other set about getting him breafast and making him a cup of tea. once it was all made he sat down and everyone continued their converstation occasionally trying to engage Sora in it with them.

through the whole time that they were having breakfast Sora was aware of the looks from Riku he still had that concerned look in his aqua depths.

"Sora I want to talk to you for a little while if you dont mind?"Sephiroth asked getting up from the table and walking out to the lounge room, the small brunette got up and stared at the other and followed him. He could see the worried look that Riku had been shooting at him all day.

"i dont want to bother you or anything but I wanted to talk to you about what is going on. The nightmare you had last night is that a normal for you to have at night?" Blue eyes looked away from him and Sora stared at the ground instead. It was clear he wasnt comfortable about talking about what was going and Sephiroth felt anger rise in him that the boy was allowed to suffer like this for so long. He desereved better.

"I dont really want to talk about it if you dont mind I'm use to nightmares Im sorry for waking everyone."

the silverette stared at the young male shocked, it was like he was closing down right in front of his eyes. Maybe he would talk to Riku about it? Though depending on what Sora was feeling like he might not tell him anything either.

"Sora I want you to know you can always come to any of us. Riku I know will always be there for you." at the mention of his brothers name the brunette looked up uncertainty crossing his features before being pushed away.

"I know Riku is always so kind to me sometimes I dont know why." blue eyes looked down again. he didnt understand them sometimes they didnt make any sense to him all his life he had never known anyone like that in his whole life.

"well you are his friend and he always tries to look out for those that he cares for." Sephiroth said watching the other hoping to see some sign that he noticed what it was that was being said to him. He wanted them both happy.
