Riku pressed his hand to his forehead and brushed his sweat drenched bangs out of his eyes. Gods, it was hot.

Rai leaned back and pressed his cheek against the shadowy stone wall, trying to cool down, even just a little bit. Riku turned his head from its position on Rai's thigh to wipe his face on the older boy's shirt.

Rai jumped up, allowing Riku's head to fall on the wooden bench with a rough thud. The older boy screamed, "Watch it, y'know!? I don't want your sweat drenching my shirt, y'know!?"

Riku raised himself from his lying position on the bench. He rubbed the side of his head and said in a voice just above a whisper, "Your shirt is already drenched, and Seifer is going to find us if you keep screaming like that."

Rai nodded, pausing for a minute. Then he kicked the ground of the struggle arena into a cloud of dust and shouted, "It's so hot, y'know!?"

Riku suggested calmly, "I guess we could get some sea salt ice cream or something."

Rai agreed. That was a good idea. He fished 15 Munny out of his pocket with his right hand and pulled Riku up with his left. Together they set out for the ice cream stand.

Riku leaned his head against Rai's shoulder. He had to admit, it was cooler at the top of the clock tower. Even so, both boys had taken their shirts off and were alternating taking licks from the salty-sweet ice cream bar.

Riku looked up at Rai with wide eyes and a small pout on his lips. He held out the popsicle stick, which had a small bit of cerulean ice cream dripping off of it. He said quietly, "I'm still hot." He handed the stick to Rai.

Rai admitted sheepishly, "Me too, y'know?" He thought for a second, then decided, "I have an idea, y'know!? We'll take a lick at the same time, y'know!?"

Riku agreed, "Sounds good." Hesitantly, he darted out a small pink tongue and closed his eyes. Rai did the same, but clumsily dropped the stick off the side of the clock tower. Not wanting to face the wrath of Riku, his lips met Riku's in a sweet and chaste fashion.

They stayed like that for a moment, both too shocked to do anything. Rai slowly moved away and examined Riku, whose face was flushed and eyes were clouded over. Riku moved forward again so he could place his head on Rai's chest. After he regained his senses, Riku asked quietly, "Rai, where's the popsicle stick?"

Seifer was walking out of the train station. It had been a fun day at the beach. Suddenly, something fell on his head. Upon closer examination, he realized it was a popsicle stick. Seifer looked up only to find...

"Rai!?"
