1. Kryptonite
Some of the worlds were not big at all. Agrabah was big enough to need a carpet ride, but Sora couldn't help the fact that he hadn't gotten carpet to GIVE him a ride after he'd stormed off in anger after fighting with Riku over some silly little disagreement- at this point, he was still too angry to remember what it had been about in the first place, other than it was wrong and he hadn't wanted to do it.
Come to think of it, he was pretty sure Riku had suggested wishing Kairi permanently mute if they found Genie. He'd been serious.
The thought made his blood boil all over again, and he stormed further out into the desert.
It was a few hours and much sunburn later that he realized he'd gotten lost. It was getting a bit dark, so the cold air washing over his skin from the dark desert helped ease his sunburn, but not hte fact he was getting terrible exaughsted, and rather dehydrated. He couldn't exactly call for help, with no one there to help him. No carpet, no gummi ship portals, no Riku.
It was around the middle of the night that Sora collapsed during his last ditch effort to find shelter.
When he came to, Riku was digging him out by hand from the sand that had covered him in his unconciousness, nearly screaming his name as he tried to get the brunette to come to.
His voice broke when he spoke, his throat so dry. "R-Riku?"
"Sora! You moron!" Riku scolded fiercely, but there was relief in his voice as he drew the younger male tightly to his chest. "Why did you run off like that?"
"You ...said that stuff...about our friend..."
"I said it because I was jealous!" Riku hissed next to his ear, still holding him so tightly that the sunburn ached all over every spot the other touched, though Sora was mildly surprised when he felt a pair of softer lips covered his own dry and chapped ones. "Damnit, you know how much I love you, and it makes me angry to see her flirt with you all the time. Don't run off like that again, you'll kill us both." He murmured. Lifting the brunette into his arms, he shifted back to where Carpet was waiting, holding Sora closer than he ever had before.
"Heh. Looks like you're Superman...this time, Riku..."
"You won't catch me doing that stupid dance. But maybe I'll keep you by my side with my super human might next time."
