Riku had taken all the back roads and avoided all contact with other beings until he knocked on the door with one hand that was being used to hold Sora's legs up.
"Hellllloooo woah! What happened?" Roxas asked with wide eyes as he let Riku inside.
"He, he, he won't, wont wake up." Riku shook as his words fumbled their way out of his mouth.
"What happened?" Demyx walked over before Zexion and Axel followed.
"I just wanted to mate with him," Riku's voice went hoarse. "I never meant to hurt him." Riku wept before he clutched Sora's body so tightly that Roxas moved to grab the brunette boy.
"Here, let's put him on the couch." Roxas led Riku to the couch to set Sora down gently.
"He's out cold." Zexion checked Sora's pule while Demyx ran for a thermometer.
"He won't be able to put this in his mouth so we can do under the arm or up his," Demyx started.
"Arm." Riku cut Demyx off.
"Right." Demyx held the thermometer in place while Roxas fetched water and pain medicine.
"Poor thing," Axel whispered as he ran his hand through Sora's hair.
"You should be lying next to him." Zexion looked to the redhead. "You still have to heal yourself."
"I'll be fine." Axel said quietly. "Riku, were you rough for pleasure?" Axel asked as Riku quickly shook his head.
"I, I didn't know what was happening! I was stretching him and then I put the tip in and then I, felt him hit my shoulder and when I looked down he was so scared he passed out." Riku explained the story to the best of his memory.
"You put your tip in and he passed out from that?" Roxas was skeptical.
"I think something else happened." Riku gulped.
"Something else?" Zexion was curious.
"Well I don't remember. It, it was like I disappeared." Riku whispered.
"It was your first time mating, that's right." Axel nodded to himself.
"What do you mean?" Riku was lost.
"When a wolf mates for the first time, he half transforms back. It's to signal that you've picked your mate for life." Axel said. "I didn't know it either, till I experienced it and scared the shit out of Roxy." Axel looked over to his boyfriend who shyly looked away. "I looked it up and well, they never mention it because wolves always mate with other wolves, so they both experience it and probably don't even realize it. But cats do. They witness it." Axel said quietly.
"I feel awful." Riku whispered.
"It's weird but it isn't your fault. You can't control it." Demyx tried to cheer up the silverrete.
"You had it too?" Riku asked.
"Yeah, with Zexion. He was really freaked out, and we actually broke up for a little bit because of it. But I was dedicated to him. I mean, he's my mate and I love him. I worked hard and earned his trust back." Demyx took Zexion's hand and kissed it.
"I hope he doesn't dump me. He was so scared though." Riku sighed. "That's the only thing I remember. His scent of fear." Riku let out a hopeless breath.
"Just give his body a chance to rest up. If you had yourself inside of him, then he is your one mate, so either you work to get him back, or you accept the single life." Axel shrugged.
"I'd kill myself before I'd let him walk away." Riku stared at Sora's sleeping body.
"Why don't we try to wake him up? We don't want him going into a coma." Roxas said as Zexion nodded.
"He should take some medicine soon." The other cat agreed.
"Alright, let's get some cold water." Demyx stood up.
"Like hell!" Riku stood up next.
"We'll just lightly splash some on his face." Axel reassured the silver haired teen. "It worked with these two when they went through the little….initiation." Axel shrugged at the lack of a better term.
"Initiation." Roxas rolled his eyes.
"Here, just a splash," Demyx dipped his fingers in a glass and flicked the water onto Sora's face, which didn't stir.
"Maybe a bit more." Roxas tried.
"Not enough." Zexion shook his head and gave it a go.
"Just give me that!" Axel yanked the cup and hurled half of its contents at Sora.
"Wah!" Sora sprang his torso to sit up.
"Morning." Axel grinned.
"Ugh," Sora let his body fall back on the couch helplessly.
"Poor baby," Roxas rubbed Sora's tummy.
"My head hurts," Sora whined, wishing he were still asleep.
"Take these." Zexion offered as Sora did just that, glaring at Riku who gulped nervously.
"Better?" Demyx asked as Sora wiped his sleeve across his mouth.
"It's ok. You're ok." Roxas cooed as he rubbed Sora's hand.
"I'm tired." Sora sniffled before he curled up to face the back of the couch.
"Baby, you need to talk to your boy." Roxas put a hand on Sora's shoulder.
"Goodnight." Sora said back.
"Sora," Axel cut in. "You need to talk to Riku." The redhead pulled Sora so that he was lying on his back and not his side.
"I just want to sleep." Sora closed his eyes.
"After you talk to Riku." Roxas said. "Sora I know what you're feeling. I went through it. Zexion too."
"Re-really?" Sora peeked an eye to ask.
"Yeah. You're terrified. You're angry, you're hurt; you feel betrayed and lied to and you feel victimized." Roxas mentioned everything Sora was thinking as the brunette nodded. "But it's not Riku's fault." Roxas whispered.
"Yes it is!" Sora sat up and pounded the couch.
"No, baby, it isn't." Roxas frowned. "He's a wolf. His body and mind will do things we can't explain or understand as cats. If you agreed to let him mate with you, you need to take responsibility for what happens. He doesn't mean to hurt you. I know what you're thinking. Believe me, I do. But learn from where Zexion and I made our mistakes." Roxas pleaded. "Don't hold it against if he can't help it." He said quietly.
"What, what did you two do?" Sora asked curiously.
Roxas sighed. "I told Axel I wasn't mad and waited until he was asleep, and then I dragged his wolf bed outside and left him there, locked out in the rain. When I let him back in he was sick, and I used it to my advantage and I hit him a couple times. He didn't fight back." Roxas curled his knees to his chest as he sat by the couch. "I said words I shouldn't have, and then I started crying. When he held me and comforted me, I knew that he loved me. We both apologized but it was rough and messy." Roxas explained.
"I dumped Demyx." Zexion shared his past. "I told him that I wouldn't dare date someone so insensitive. I told him I never wanted to see him again. But, he worked so hard to show me that he cares. He went above and beyond and I realized that he meant it when he said he cares about me. When we talked about it, I realized that he really didn't know what he had done. I felt bad and asked him to take me back. I was lucky to have a wolf so dedicated and loving who agreed. Don't let your wolf get away. The fear that he unintentionally put you through is only half the fear you are guaranteed to experience if you lose him." Zexion's words were convincing as he spoke.
"So," Sora whispered. "What do I do?" He asked even as everyone else, including Riku, listened.
"What do you want to do?" Roxas asked.
"I, I feel scared and hurt, but I don't want to lose Riku. I just don't want to mate with him again. I want to go back to cuddling. No more scary kisses, no more scary wolf." Sora looked down as he spoke.
"Sora," Riku knelt in front of the couch. "I will do everything you ask of me. Anything and everything."
Sora took a deep yet quiet breath. "You said that last time. You promised I wouldn't be hurt, but I was." Sora frowned.
"I swear it was an accident!" Riku pleaded.
"I know it was but it still hurts," Sora whined.
"I'm sorry." Riku rested his head on Sora's shoulder. "I never want to scare you. I never want to be the cause of your pain.
"I just want to go back," Sora shook his head as he sighed. "I want to go back before all of this. Before all this drama and all this confusion." Sora put a hand to his head.
"Me too." Riku whispered back.
"Do, do you think we can?" Sora asked.
"You want to break up?" Riku asked fearfully yet, something about his tone suggested that he understood.
Sora gulped. "No."
Riku smiled in relief. "Good, me either."
"But, but maybe we could slow down?" Sora suggested.
"I'd like that. I will start from the beginning, earning your trust, proving my love." Riku gave an honest smile.
"You already have it." Sora hugged Riku tightly.
"You two really are a great match." Roxas said comfortingly.
"I agree." Zexion nodded with a smile.
"Adorable." Demyx clapped.
"I'm sure you two will have a great future together." Axel said as he sat down to rest his still sore body.
"My poor baby," Roxas moved to Axel's side and carefully snuggled up to him.
"I'm fine, just wanted to sit." Axel inhaled deeply before Roxas smooched his cheek.
"I think we're going to go upstairs and uh," Zexion coughed as he held Demyx's hand.
"You two going to mate? Again?" Axel smirked.
"Again?" Sora wondered with wide curious eyes.
"They just had a quickie before you guys got here." Roxas giggled.
"Oh," Sora gulped.
"Nice." Riku smiled at Demyx, who inhaled deeply and rested his hands behind his head.
"You heard?" Zexion's eyes showed concern.
"We always hear you two mating." Roxas scoffed. Zexion stood nervously before he shrugged.
"Glad to know its mutual."
"You hear us?" Roxas panicked.
"Are you kidding? Axel howls every time he comes, and by definition a howl is meant to be heard from a great distance." Zexion folded his arms.
"Demyx howls too!" Roxas pointed as both Axel and Demyx grinned at each other.
"It's a wolf thing. We come and we howl." Axel said calmly.
"He howled and all he did was enter." Sora whispered.
"It's cause it was his first time, baby." Roxas smiled innocently.
"We should start before I have to go to my part time job," Zexion whispered as Demyx nodded.
"That's three hours from now." Axel checked his watch.
"So little time." Demyx shook his head.
"You two," Roxas sighed.
"Well if you excuse us," Demyx cleared his throat.
"Hey, this time, we should try to plan our howls at the same time." Axel winked as Demyx jumped up and down.
"That would be so awesome!"
"Yeah, and when these two get on track, all three of us." Axel motioned to Riku, who chuckled.
"Sounds great."
"Yeah, that's not invasive at all." Roxas sighed.
"Ok ok, we have to start, but I'll try to hold it in." Demyx squealed, took Zexion's hand, and ran upstairs.
"Have a good round." Roxas waved as the two entered their bedroom.
"We will!" Demyx hollered as he shut his door.
"So," Roxas coughed awkwardly.
"Why do wolves howl? Do we do anything special?" Sora asked Roxas, who let out a small laugh.
"He's so cute." Axel smiled to Riku, who nodded.
"No baby, we don't. Wolves are very special, which is why we have to keep ours close." Roxas said as he looked to Axel, who smiled back.
"I will." Sora grabbed Riku's hand as the silverrete kissed his temple.
"They howl when they come cause it's a sign of their victory."
"Victory?" Sora didn't understand.
"When a wolf mates, each time, it's their way of sealing the bonds between who they are and their life-long partner. I should warn you now," Roxas started to chuckle, "They like to mate a lot." He looked to Axel, who roped his arm around Roxas' waist and pulled him into his lap before Roxas continued. "To them it's not just about sex and coming. It's about uniting themselves with us; it's about having one breathing pattern, one relationship, one heartbeat."
"Exactly," Axel whispered as he nodded in agreement.
"When they howl, at first, it's a bit scary. Sometimes Axel will have his wolf eyes when he does it."
"Yeah! Riku's eyes were like that when he howled!" Sora exclaimed.
"It can be a bit overwhelming for us cats, but when you think about why they do it, I think its special." Roxas smiled.
"Well, why do they?" Sora titled his head.
"To show the world that we are theirs." Roxas smiled.
"Huh?" Sora didn't follow.
"When Riku howls, what he's doing is telling the entire world that he has his mate. He's saying 'keep your hands off of him, because he is mine, and if you touch him, I will be there to punish you.' At the same time, he's also telling everyone that he's taken, and that he is yours. He's warning the other wolves not to try to make a move, because they'll be wasting their time." Roxas smiled.
"Really?" Sora looked to Riku.
"Yeah, of course. I'm proud to be your mate, and I want the world to know that you are off limits. I know we're mixed so I can't proclaim it out loud, but I can't fight what my animal instincts want me to do." Riku said.
"That's really," Sora put a finger to his lip. "Sweet."
"I'm glad you think so." Riku bowed his head modestly.
"Maybe, maybe," Sora began to think aloud.
"Maybe?" Riku wondered.
"Maybe now that I know what to expect, and now that I know you are being your true self, maybe we can try again." Sora suggested.
"As long as you mean it. Sora, I love you, but I'd rather wait than hurt you." Riku caressed Sora's hand.
"I mean it. This time, I'm prepared. And we'll have to face it again sometime, so why not now?" He shrugged.
"Whatever you want, I will give it to you." Riku kissed Sora's cheek.
"Well, I think," Axel started when Zexion huffed back down the stairs.
"What's up?" Roxas could see the frustration on his face.
"Demyx." Zexion muttered before he sat on the couch.
"No mating?" Axel asked before Demyx ran down the stairs.
"Oh come on, I said I was sorry!" Demyx playfully slapped Zexion's arm.
"Stop talking Demyx." Zexion looked away.
"What happened?" Axel asked.
"He's just being gross." Zexion sighed.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked.
"He, he says he wants to mate while he's a wolf." Zexion whispered.
"Well we're curious." Axel shrugged.
"It's not going to happen!" Zexion stood up.
"I said fine let's just mate as humans!" Demyx put his hands up in the air. "It's not like I told you to go into kitten mode and then take it." Demyx folded his arms.
"If you would have my foot would be up your wolf ass." Zexion fisted his hands.
"Ok ok, let's just calm down." Axel said quietly.
"Come on Zex, let's nap." Roxas turned into his cat mode and Zexion followed before they went to their two story cat condo. "You want to join?" Roxas asked Sora, who nodded. The three crawled into the cat play house and cuddled up as the wolves sighed.
"I'll go get an extra Xbox remote from my room." Axel looked to Riku before he stood up. He was on his way back down the stairs when Roxas decided to get a drink of water from his water bowl in the kitchen, but with his small frame going unseen by the tall redhead, the two collided.
"Shit!" Axel tried to step over the small cat, but instead, stepped on him gently.
"Meooooaaahhh!" Roxas hissed before he bolted back for the condo and hid inside.
"Oh baby," Axel tossed the remote on the couch and ran over to the condo. "Shhh, I'm so sorry." Axel reached his hand inside the condo, but Roxas growled and then swatted it. "Baby, please, it was an accident. I didn't see you. I'm really sorry!" Axel frowned but Roxas only hissed.
"Poor little guy," Demyx whispered.
Axel sighed before he went to the kitchen and then sat right in front of the cat condo with a bowl in his lap.
Sora poked his fuzzy head out of the condo's small opening and twitched his nose as he sniffed.
"He is so adorable!" Demyx squealed as Riku nodded.
"I love how the fur on his head is just as tattered and messy as his brown wild hair when he's a human." Riku chuckled.
"His fur is really thick." Demyx nodded as Sora slowly trembled out of the condo with his nose pulling him reluctantly towards Axel.
"Shh, it's ok. Come here," Axel reached his hand out, which caused Sora to pull back. "It's ok," Axel repeated before Sora gulped and slowly began his journey once more, one small paw at a time.
"Meow?" Zexion poked his head out once Sora had fully exited the cat condo.
"There we go," Axel smiled when Sora reached his lap. Sora placed his two front paws on Axel's crossed legs and looked into his lap to see if his nose had informed him correctly. "Yeah? You want some?" Axel asked with a small smile as Sora's nose went into overdrive to sniff. Sora looked up to Axel's eyes and then cautiously crawled over the redheads legs and into the bit of space between his body and the bowl. "Good boy," Axel pet Sora's wild fur before the orange cat indulged into the bowls contents.
"Meow?" Zexion took another step before Sora looked up and meowed back, milk all over his mouth and whiskers before he continued to drink. Zexion scurried over, crawled over Axel's legs, and began sniffing with excitement.
"Meow!" Sora chirped happily with milk dripping all over his face. Zexion sniffed the orange cat before he licked Sora's chin and whiskers, anxious to taste milk.
"Oh my god they are so cute!" Demyx clapped as Zexion licked the leftovers off of Sora's face as Sora squinted content eyes.
"You want some too?" Axel asked Zexion, moving the bowel so that both kittens could share. Axel moved to pet Zexion but the cat swatted his hand playfully, encouraging Axel to fake wrestle using just his index finger to tickle the cat's nose. Zexion pawed it before he trapped Axel's finger between his two front paws and licked it as a thank you. Axel chuckled and scratched behind Zexion's ear as a reward before he let the cat drink peacefully. Zexion looked to Sora before both kittens continued to drink as much as they could without pushing the other's head out of the way.
"Oh my god," Riku smiled as he sat next to Axel to watch. He kept his eyes on his orange cat who drank as if he were dying of thirst before Demyx sat next to him and placed a bowl full of milk in front of the silverette.
"Sora," Riku called with his own bowl of milk just as Demyx did the same for Zexion. Zexion gulped before he went to his boyfriend and drank from his bowl while Sora happily went to a fresh bowl full of milk.
"Good boy." Demyx smiled as Zexion drank calm and clean. Riku couldn't help but laugh at how Sora was a bit more messy, milk dripping off his fur when he finally looked up to meow his thanks.
"You are priceless." Riku smiled before he held Sora up to his face and pressed his cheek against Sora's stuffed and purring belly.
"Roxy?" Axel asked as Roxas barely poked his front half out of the cat condo. Sora meowed to encourage him, but Roxas remained hesitant as he slowly etched his way to Axel.
"It's ok. Shh, just some milk." Axel whispered before Roxas gulped and crawled onto Axel's legs. He stood up with his front paws lifted onto Axel's leg and meowed loudly as if to claim his dominance. Axel smiled and bowed his head respectfully before Roxas drank from his bowl possessively. "There we go," Axel smiled and watched as Roxas fed his belly. When Roxas finished, he rubbed his body against Axel's inner thighs and nudged his head against Axel's lower stomach, purring lightly.
"I love you." Axel lifted Roxas up into his arms. "And I'm sorry I stepped on you."
"It was an accident." Roxas whispered back before he closed his eyes. "I love you too."
"No matter what, I will always love you." Axel smiled proudly.
"We should watch some TV or a movie and cuddle with our kitties!" Demyx suggested as he went on the couch with Zexion in his lap.
"I like the sound of that." Riku smiled down at Sora who he kept in his arms as if he were a baby, his fuzzy belly exposed as his paws curled for warmth.
"What's on?" Axel asked as he turned on the TV and kept Roxas between his legs.
"Babe, I'm going to go into human form." Zexion said.
"Me too." Roxas joined him by going upstairs as Sora went into the bathroom. When they came back, they saw that their boyfriends were watching the news.
"That looks boring." Sora whined.
"What? Would you rather mate?" Axel asked mockingly.
"Duh!" Demyx answered.
"Sounds good to me." Riku smiled.
"Ok, but only soft mating." Sora whispered.
"Wait, you mean you're ok with doing it now?" Riku was shocked.
"Well, not here." Sora coughed.
"You can use one of the rooms upstairs." Axel said.
"I'd feel bad," Riku rubbed his neck.
"Why? We're animals." Axel shrugged.
"Only half." Riku grumbled.
"Ok, then don't mate at all." Axel shrugged back.
Riku sighed then looked to Sora. "Shall we head back to my place?"
"Sure." Sora agreed before he and Riku waved goodbye and left back to the silverette's house.
"Thankfully my parents are still gone. We should have just enough time." Riku smiled at Sora before he shut the door behind himself with Sora inside the bedroom.
"So, how should we start this time?" Sora asked curiously.
"We need to turn each other on I guess." Riku said nervously, knowing he'd have to lead, wondering how to do so without hurting the delicate cat.
"Alright. Well, what do you suggest?" Sora sat on Riku's bed.
"Let's start with a kiss and just see where we go? If one of us crosses a line, we'll let the other know immediately and pause whatever we're doing, ok?" Riku asked with a smile before Sora nodded.
Riku cupped Sora's cheeks softly before he smooched the brunette's lips, leaving a timid warmth with each small kiss, the next stronger than the one before as Sora craved more. As a tease, Riku moved to Sora's jaw, using a bit of tongue to entice his boyfriend before he kissed his way down his neck. After working his way back up Sora's neck, he moved to the boy's ear, sucking slowly on the lobe as Sora whimpered.
"Eh!" Sora whined.
"Mmmm," Riku hummed before he flickered his tongue inside Sora's ear. When the silverrete was rewarded with a loud moan of clear pleasure, he forcefully continued to lather Sora's ear with his powerful tongue.
"Nygh!" Sora grabbed Riku's biceps to stabilize his shaking knees before Riku squeezed the boy's hips. Sora moved his hands to Riku's shoulder blades before Riku moved his lips to Sora's and made out with him.
"Mmm, sexy," Riku whispered as one hand kneaded Sora's ass over his jeans while the other was nestled in crazy café spikes near Sora's fluffy ear.
"Riku," Sora went on tip toes as he begged for more attention by the way his hips swayed.
"Yeah baby?" Riku smirked.
"I, I want to cuddle." Sora hid his shy face in Riku's neck.
"Then let's." Riku agreed as he laid down in his bed with Sora in his arms. After some light kissing which led to heavy kissing, Riku moved his hand to Sora's tummy.
"I love you Riku." Sora smiled as Riku gazed into Sora's eyes.
"I love you too." He said before he pulled Sora as close to his body as he could.
"We, we should start, before your parents come home."
"Good idea." Riku said before he took some lube and slowly stretched Sora. The cat mix was on all fours just as Riku drenched his tip with lube to be sure that he wouldn't hurt his boyfriend.
"Babe, you, you're so warm and I'm not even in yet." Riku huffed as he hovered over Sora, ready to enter from behind.
"I'm not trying to be." Sora trembled nervously.
"Ok, I'm about to go in," Riku warned, his eyes rolling in ecstasy as he pushed his tip inside. His breath's were short and heavy as he felt those animalistic shivers shoot up his spine. "Sora," He felt like he needed to warn his boyfriend. "Sora I can feel it." Riku coughed roughly.
"Eh?" Sora shook.
"Don't, don't be scared." Riku swallowed deeply. "I just," He pushed further inside thanks to the lube that he was sure to use as much of as necessary.
"Ah!" Sora grimaced.
"I feel all of you." Riku let the weight of his body fall on Sora's, sending both boys to lay flat on the bed.
"Ugh!" Sora grunted as he was smashed between a sweating body and a mattress. Riku lifted his hips up before he slammed them down roughly. "AH!" Sora groaned.
"M, mph, fuck!" Riku moaned before he thrusted faster and harder, causing his skin to slap Sora's ass as he pounded the boy into the mattress. Sora whimpered with every thrust that pushed his body deeper into the bedding as his boyfriend went deeper inside of him.
"Riku!" Sora wasn't sure how he was feeling until one particular thrust rubbed against his sweet spot. "Nya!" Sora shrieked. "There!" he begged, his neck straining to turn around. "Riku there!"
Riku nodded as he repeated his actions over and over, forcing Sora to moan loudly in pleasure. Riku huffed as he used his abs to go as swift as he could, and when he finally got to his end, he howled. He thrusted as far as his pelvis could press against Sora's ass before he let out a loud howl, releasing inside of his boyfriend. Sora groaned before he came into a condom to eliminate any mess.
"Ah," Sora gasped as Riku panted.
"Fuck, I'm tired." Riku chuckled as he pulled out and rested on his back.
"Me too," Sora inhaled deeply.
"You, you want to shower?" Riku asked before Sora gave a slow nod.
"Thanks, that massage felt great." Sora changed into Riku's spare sweatpants and hoodie for comfort once he and Riku finished up in the bathroom.
"I didn't hurt you when we mated, did I?" Riku asked cautiously.
"No. I'm a bit sore but even if I were a wolf too I'm sure it would have been normal." Sora shrugged.
"I'm glad you're ok." Riku smiled back.
"I, I won't be able to spend the night again tonight, will I? Your parents will be back soon." Sora frowned.
"Maybe we can go back to Axel's house, so we can sleep together?" Riku suggested.
"Back again?" Sora giggled as he asked. "I feel like we're going to be spending a lot of time with those guys."
"Yeah me too." Riku chuckled back. "But they're really nice. I mean, it's nice to not have to keep it a secret every second we're awake." Riku looked to Sora and smiled.
"Yeah, I like them too." Sora agreed.
"So what do you say? Should we head back?"
"Ok." Sora nodded before they once again made the trip back to the safe house.
"Oh, did we forget something?" Axel asked with a chuckle as he opened the front door.
"Can we stay the night?" Riku asked once he and Sora were safe inside.
"Sure. You guys want a bed or a room?" Axel asked as he took a seat on the couch by Roxas.
"What are you guys doing?" Sora asked Roxas curiously.
"I was going to sleep by the fire since it's been cold lately." Roxas yawned in his kitten form.
"Good enough for me." Axel morphed to his wolf form and went into his bed, arranged by the other two in a half circle around the fireplace.
"You ready for bedtime?" Demyx asked Zexion.
"Ok." Zexion transformed and let Demyx carry him into his bed.
"Come on, let's get some sleep." Riku smiled at Sora before the two went into their animal forms and situated themselves in the spare dog bed.
"Goodnight." Sora called out.
"Night baby." Roxas chuckled.
"Goodnight everyone." Demyx smiled happily next to Zexion's purring body.
"Night guys." Axel yawned next.
"M." Zexion grunted, too tired to open his kitten mouth.
"Goodnight." Riku said aloud before he curled his head by Sora's. "I love you." He whispered.
"Love you too Riku." Sora yawned loudly before he curled his body into a ball.
"My little kitten." Riku smiled contently before he licked Sora goodnight.
Everyone had been asleep for a few hours before Riku felt something itching around his ears. No matter how much he twitched them to rid whatever fly or pest that was bothering him, there was still an annoying sensation that just wouldn't let him be. Riku opened an eye and when he saw that Sora wasn't in front of his face like he was hours ago, the wolf sighed.
"Sora? That you?" he asked, too lazy to sit up or move his head, much less open his eyes.
"Meow!" Sora responded in guilt.
"Knock it off." Riku yawned.
Sora stepped on Riku's shoulder and let his head plop right by Riku's face before he giggled in cat form. "I'm giving you a kitty hug!" he said happily.
"That's great Sora." Riku said in an exhausted monotone voice. "Now go back to bed."
Sora didn't want to listen so he sniffed the top of Riku's head, rubbing his chin on Riku's fur as he explored the larger animal.
"Mmmm!" Riku growled grumpily, nothing loud or threatening, more out of annoyance.
"Woops!" Sora accidentally stepped on Riku's floppy ear, making it bend and squish uncomfortably.
"Ow!" Riku gasped as Sora stepped off and accidentally smashed the other ear.
"Sorry!" Sora tried to get off of Riku by stepping on the flat top of his head and then on his snout. Riku grumbled inaudibly as Sora got scared by such noises and then backed up once more over his snout and head.
"Baby," Riku tried to remain calm and patient. "Please, go to bed." He begged.
"Ok." Sora complied happily as he snuggled his body against Riku's head. He tried to get comfortable by rubbing his face against the top of Riku's head, applying pressure until he found just the right spot, which he only found when Riku turned to have his head sideways which forced Sora's head to lie on the bedding with his head against Riku's, but no longer on top of it.
"Night." Riku said with a shy laugh.
"Nighty night Riku." Sora yawned before he curled his paws cozily and pushed his nose into Riku's warm fur. Riku had just closed his eyes peacefully before his ear twitched on its own to the sound of giggles.
"Hm?" he wondered with closed lips. The next thing he knew, there were three kittens all playing with his tail. "What the?" Riku sat his head and front paws up to watch as his boyfriend, Roxas, and Zexion all jumped after Riku's naturally swishing tail in the light of the fireplace.
"Meow!" Roxas shook his tiny butt before he pounced and missed.
"My turn!" Zexion tried but Riku curled his tail under his body.
"Awww, no fun!" Sora whined.
"I'm so over this." Riku sighed before he crawled into Axel's bed and curled up next to the red wolf. Axel chuckled lightly.
"At least they aren't after my tail for once." He said before he welcomed Riku by grooming the silver fur with his tongue.
"Come on, let's go get Demyx!" Zexion cheered.
"Okay!" Sora agreed happily before the three kittens moved to the next dog bed.
"Don't tell me they usually do this?" Riku whined as the laughter continued.
"Yep." Axel sighed.
"How do you sleep?" Riku wondered.
"Either you get used to it, or when you mate, make sure to drain their energy." Axel said with a grin.
"Good to know." Riku closed his eyes once more.
When the playing final woke Demyx up, he growled the kittens away.
"Alright, you want to play?" Riku offered, standing up, ready to do whatever Sora wanted just to keep him happy.
"No thanks, I'm sleepy." The kitten yawned peacefully before he tucked himself into the empty dog bed that Riku had previously abandoned.
"Of course." Riku shook his head at the irony with a light smile. "Let's go to bed." He whispered as he curled his body around Sora's to keep him warm.
"Love you Riku."
"I love you too, my kitten."
Author's Note: Ok, so finally, this is the end of this series! It went by super fast and it feels like I didn't really spend much time on it but I hope that you all enjoyed it! I won't be adding to this at all and I don't know if I'll ever write another half-animal themed story again, but it was fun to work on this one. I am now ready to begin my HIATUS! So this means that I will not be posting any new stories for a while but I WILL BE CHECKING my MESSAGES cause they go to my email anyway, so if you message me I will be able to respond! So yeah, I wont be gone or missing, just taking a break from writing and posting. But when I do come back I will be celebrating by posting new storylines AND sequels, so please be sure to follow me to be ready for all updates.

Living Legacy, Silent Sacrifice, Sarabellum
(Side note:People have been asking about my signatures so i thought i'd explain. Living Legacy: Zack Fair's words to Cloud when he *spoiler alert*. Silent Sacrifice: Genesis quotes 'Loveless' in the game Final Fantasy Crisis Core, so I took it from there because i love the meaning and the way it sounds).
