Call me crazy, its okay. I already know. This is a request some of my friends asked for at Anime Central. Apparently, they were upset with me for ditching Sora for Cloud. So here I am trying to combine. We'll see how it works. I'm gonna attempt to make this one a little more graphic than what I usually do, hence the M rating. I don't know if it will get that detailed but we'll see.

As always, please review and suggestions are very welcome.

So, uh, I now own an Axel plushie! Still working on the actual rights to the series but I will triumph!

Past love, meet new love

A lone boy sat on the stone wall, swinging his legs over the side. A pensive expression marred his normally cheerful countenance. The sun was low in the sky painting the landscape in reds and golds.

"Sora, what's wrong?"

He glanced over his shoulder and shrugged a little. "Nothing really, I guess."

Kairi placed hands on her hips clearly not believing a word. She said nothing but the stance was enough to make Sora squirm. He always broke under that stare.

He sighed. "Have you noticed Riku acting kinda, well strange?"

"No." She climbed up to sit beside him. "Why?"

"Dunno. Something's just been off the past few days." Sora hesitated but this was Kairi. He could tell her anything, couldn't he? "He's been… distant."

"Distant?" She echoed. What was he talking about? She hadn't noticed anything of the sort. Riku seemed just as social as he normally was. After the initial meeting with everyone, he fit right in. Cid and Aerith liked him and he learned quickly how to deal with Yuffie in her various modes. Even Leon got along well with him.

"Yeah." There was a light blush coloring Sora's cheeks. "He doesn't, well, he isn't as…"

"Oh! You mean he hasn't been wanting sex."

"Kairi!" He hissed, glancing about them for eavesdroppers.

"Oh, please, Sora. Don't act so shy. Everyone saw you two making out by the theater." She giggled.

"They what?"

"Now, when did Riku start acting different?" She totally ignored the question.

"A few days ago. The first week everything was fine. We were just, everything was normal between us." Sora shook his head. "So it's not being here or being around the others."

"Well, what changed around then?"

"Nothing I can think of." Sora thought aloud. "Yuffie was teasing us but that's normal. Merlin wanted us to help with some experiment, which we flat out refused. Cloud came back from wherever he was. I finally convinced Riku to visit Tron."

He suddenly looked over. "You don't think he's sore cause I beat him at Light Cycles, do you?"

"He wouldn't be denying himself sex. He'd be teasing you then leaving you all wound up until he felt you'd been tortured long enough."

"Yeah, you're right." Sora groaned. "See? I have no idea what I did!"

Kairi gave him a stern look. "What makes you think you have anything to do with it? Maybe Riku's just being moody. It wouldn't be the first time."

"I guess."

Sora was really worried about this and Kairi didn't know what she could do to help. She stood in the wall and began walking carefully along it. "Riku's just Riku. Give it another day and if he's still being frigid, I'll beat him up for you, okay?"

Sora laughed. He knew Kairi would do just that if she felt Riku was unjustifiably being reclusive. In fact she'd played a big role in pulling Riku back into the fold. Even though he knew she was still hurt by his and Riku's relationship, she was their biggest supporter.

"Come on, Sora." She hopped off the ledge. "Let's get some ice cream before Scrooge closes up for the night."

"Why hurry?" Sora twisted his body and slid off his perch. "We can always just break in later."

Kairi stared at him. "You little criminal."

"Oh he knows I do it." Sora waved her off. "I'm kinda like one of those guys you hire to test your security system."

"Okay." She giggled with a little shake of her head.

They walked together comfortably getting to Scrooge's just as he was closing. They bought ice cream for both of them and one to take to Riku. It wasn't very hot any more so they weren't concerned with it melting on the way.

The boys were staying with Leon and now Cloud while Kairi was at Aerith and Yuffie's. Supposedly Cid lived there too but no one ever saw him there outside meals. The purpose of this trip was actually to look into the possibility of moving to Radiant Garden.

Sora and Kairi would be finishing school soon and while the three had managed somehow to get through the awkwardness of the past year on Destiny Islands all three had decided they couldn't stay. Riku had definitely had it worse and Sora had fully expected Riku to leave for parts unknown the second he graduated.

That was when he'd finally broken down and confessed his feelings to the silver haired boy. He'd been absolutely terrified but he knew he couldn't chance Riku leaving without saying it. Riku had stared at him for a long minute, face unreadable before leaning and kissing him.

Riku hadn't left.

Leon and Riku were out on the front stoop. Leon was leaning against the wall and Riku propped up on the rail. Riku's face lit up upon seeing them. However, there was a trace of concern in his eyes. "There you are. I was worried I was going to have to go looking for you."

"We brought you ice cream." Sora bounded up the stairs. He whipped around, throwing his arms around the other and nearly causing him to fall off the rail. Thankfully, Kairi had nabbed the frozen treat from his hand before he took off.

"Where's mine?" Leon spoke calmly, a trace of a smirk on his face.

He was completely ignored by the now kissing couple. He shook his head. "I see where I stand."

Kairi came up the steps. "Probably at about the same level I do."

"I'd say it was safe to say you rank a bit higher than I."

They watched the two on the other side a moment longer before Kairi glanced at the tall brunette. "Got anything heavy in one of those pockets?"

He rummaged for a second before producing a marble sized stone.

"That'll work." She took it, aimed and flicked it at the back of Sora's head. It hit him right on target and he jerked away from Riku to glare at her. She only smiled sweetly. "Your ice cream's melting."

Leon snorted. Riku smirked with slightly bruised lips but Sora pouted. He stomped over, grabbed the dessert from her and brought it back to Riku.

The small group lounged on the porch, Kairi and Riku picking on Sora as Leon watched with a very faint smile. He shook his head at them on occasion and tried not to let the memories the three friends triggered rise up. It was painful sometimes to be around them but he still somehow enjoyed it.

"Riku! Stop being mean!"

Sora was trying to reach something that Riku held in his hand. Said hand was high above Riku's head and he was standing on the rail. Sora scrambled to climb up also. When he finally did, Riku slid down and was sitting on the wood, dropping object holding hand to the side.

Sora followed, straddling Riku's legs. He raised one hand to brace himself on the wall behind his boyfriend's head and the other reached for the lowered one. There was no way he was going to get anywhere this way.

Then a mischievous grin fell upon him and Riku frowned knowing that this couldn't be good. The straining hand ceased its efforts, instead moving up to rest on Riku's chest. It slowly traced along it, Riku refusing to look anywhere but at Sora's face.

"Riku's in trouble now." Kairi rolled her eyes.

Sora continued running his fingertip. Then ever so slowly, it moved up to Riku's neck and lingered, playing with pale skin below his collar. As this was happening, Riku pursed his mouth just a tiny bit. "It won't work this time, Sora."

Sora said nothing, bringing fingers to Riku's ear, tracing the lobe and flicking at strands of hair. He shifted in Riku's lap, drawing himself closer. Riku bit his lip but remained cool.

Suddenly, Riku groaned and his head fell back. He let go of whatever he'd been holding and grabbed hold of Sora's legs. His eyes narrowed at Sora, dangerous and lustful. "You are so going to pay for that."

"I hope so."

"Ugh! You two are so twisted." Kairi complained. "I can't tell who's in charge ever."

Leon raised an eye in amusement. Out on the street, a blonde man was coming up. "Hey, Cloud."

The new man lifted his head, taking in the scene before him. When he reached the pair on the rail, his lower lip twitched and something in his eyes changed. He said nothing and entered the house.

"Hello to you, too." Kairi said dryly.

Riku stared at the closed door. Sora frowned and nudged him. "You okay?"

The silver haired teen shook his head, clearing himself of whatever it was he had gone into. "Yeah, but you won't be for long."

Sora eeped and scrambled away from Riku. There was the slightest of hesitations before he hopped off and chased the brunette inside. Some banging and a few shrieks could be heard.

A minute later, Cloud stalked back out the door with sword.

"Where are you going?" Kairi called out.

"Training."

He headed quickly out of sight. Well that seemed odd even for Cloud. Kairi looked behind her and it seemed Leon was thinking along the same line.

"Is it just me, or is Cloud kinda acting like an ex-boyfriend being forced to watch their ex being with someone else?" She asked.

Leon studied the road Cloud had left down. He nodded a little, a frown tugging at his lower face. "He is."

"Sora said earlier that Riku has been acting a bit off for a few days now." Kairi mused. "That's about when Cloud returned. You don't think…"

"No one knows what Cloud was doing most of the time he was gone. He spent a lot of time at the Coliseum but that's pretty much all he's said."

"Riku doesn't talk about what happened to him either." The two looked at each other.

"It could be possible." Leon conceded.

"Something tells me things are about to get really complicated."
