Romance, M rated

Author's Note: As my bio says in my profile, I'm just a Kingdom Hearts lover that happens to love yaoi as well. Please do not read this if anything homosexual or bashing these characters bothers you. I'm a big fan of Disney and their music, so it is natural that I would love Kingdom Hearts. This tory gives me a chance to express my true passion, hence the title and my pename.-creativepassion

The campfire brightly set a luminous glow in the center of all the teens. After Sora, Riku, and Kairi disappeared from home, things became sadder. The reunion of the three best buddies brought smiles to their family and friends' faces. Jokes and teasing were being passed around, usually followed by an uproar of laughter. Hot dogs and marshmallows were roasted along with s'mores. Amidst all the commotion, Riku kept throwing glances at Sora. Confused by this amount of extra attention, Riku decided to speak with his fellow keyblade wielder when the time came.

After the little party, everyone started to head for home. Sora and Kairi were just casually walking along when Riku called out to Sora with a finger motion to come. Sora grinned at Kairi, hugged her, and then left a good-bye as he ran toward Riku. Before Sora could question, Riku spoke first. "Hey Sora, great party eh? I wanted to ask you one thing. Is something wrong?"

"What? What are you talking about? Did I look like something was wrong? I wasn't staring at you or anything.…"

A small smile formed on Riku's face. "Who said anything about staring?"

Sora became rather unsteady and kind of shaky. "Well, I just assumed that...well….you know….when you asked….uh..."

Becoming a bit concerned, he pressed on. "Is there something you wanna tell me?"

Sora gave off a fake laugh and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I'm fine, see?" Then, Sora gave an uneasy grin and a bit of a chuckle. An awkward silence followed for a minute or two. Then Sora exclaimed he had to get home soon because his mother wanted him to do something. "Uh….see you tomorrow…ok?"

"Ok…," was all Riku managed to blurt out as his eyes shifted away. As he watched his longtime friend disappear into the night, he went deep into thought. Something was going on, and he knew it. His concern for the brunette was very personal. Not only had they conquered quest after quest together, and then were torn apart, but he had given his own form to save Sora. Truth was he wasn't just any regular friend. In fact, Riku wasn't just any friend; he was madly in-love with Sora. Sora had been his friend all throughout their lives. However, the long lasting relationship eventually led to different feelings. Riku had problems sleeping at night in thought of his lover or trying focusing whenever he was around. All he could think about was Sora, the best friend that had stole his heart. It wasn't just his cute innocence, or his dashing good looks, but a combination of what made Sora who he was. And that is what drove him to do anything to save Sora. At first, the thoughts of Riku loving another boy sounded ridiculous. However, the longer he pretended that he should go for someone like Kairi or Selphie, the longer he knew we was only denying himself the truth.

As he walked into his room, Riku felt very uneasy. Even if he could never have Sora as a boyfriend, he wanted his love to be happy. Was it fear, paranoia, or perhaps confusion? Riku's eyes began to close out the world around him as he drifted into a deep slumber. A smile spread on his face as he entered his dream world, and he began to whisper…"Sora…Sora…..Sora…"

I can take any criticism (look for spelling or grammar errors, I'm not perfect) or praise that you feel needs to be noted. Thanks for reading my story. I'll update it as I have time. The more into chapters we get, the chances increase of seeing a lemon. Stay tuned!-creativepassion
