"Oh, baaaaa-by!" he drawled happily.
"Yes, sweetie?"
"Why don't you come over here and give me a smooch?" Sora said, his voice filled with affection. His companion rolled his eyes dramatically and pretended to think hard about it.
"Oh, all right, all right, I will," Riku said smiling, giving the younger boy a quick kiss on the lips. Sora's grin widened, if that was even humanely possible.
"You taste like lollipops, Ku-Ku," Sora thought out loud. Riku wrapped his arms around Sora's waist and they nuzzled noses for a second.
"I love you, Sugar-Pie," Riku said.
"I love you too, Honey-Bun," Sora said, both of them thinking of their song. "Let's go see what the Care Bears are doing."
"Okay." And off they skipped through the land of rainbows…
"EEEEEYAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Riku screeched, bolting up in bed. He was covered in a cold sweat and panted like he'd run five miles straight. What a horrible, horrible nightmare….
"Mmmnnnn. Riku?" Sora said sleepily, lifting his head from the pillow. His arm, which had been around the silver haired boy's waist, had been displaced uncomfortably. "What's s'matter?" he said, his voice slurred with sleep.
Riku took a deep breath, trying to remind himself that it was just a nightmare. He lay back down and settled himself comfortably. "Just a bad dream, Sora. Go back to sleep."
"'Kay," Sora said softly, slipping his arm back around Riku's waist. His lips brushed the tip of Riku's shoulders. "G'night."
"Night." Thank God me and Sora aren't like THAT, Riku thought happily.
"Oh, Sora?"
"Mm?"
Riku looked at the silver object entwined around his left wrist. "You do have the keys to these handcuffs, right?"
There was a slight pause, almost unnoticeable, before Sora replied, "Yeah, yeah, I've got the keys. Now go back to sleep."
Riku fell back gently back to sleep. It took Sora a little longer.
Damn it! I'm gonna have to call the stupid locksmith again! he thought grumpily.
