I've come back after years and am re-writing this because it was my favorite story. I fell in love with the plot I had, though my poor writing skills ruined things. Hopefully, it'll be better this time around.

The sea's waves crashed and rolled back into the shimmering ocean as bare feet walked along the edge. A boy of brown locks held onto a girl's hand, both smiling as they slowly left erased footsteps in the sand. There were no words said between them, but there wasn't anything that needed to be said. The company they shared was what made them happy, it was all the needed from one another. The simple knowledge that they were by each other's sides. Quietly, Sora's hand lifted their locked fingers to his lips. Kissing the back of Kairi's hand as blue eyes shone brightly in love and happyness. The moment was only made perfect as the sun turned into an orange hue, the surface of the water changing into a more breath taking color as they sat down. Nothing was said still, yet a thousand words were spoken with their undeniable love. How they had missed each other, the time they had been apart, how they cared for one another, how it was all just a piece of bliss, in a world that once had looked so lost in darkness. It reminded Sora of every struggle he had gone through, and how it had all been worth it. With soft and warm smiles as they glanced at each other, they turned back to stare out into the ocean. Time just slowly ticking as the peace made Sora sure, if he were to die at that very moment, he would be happy.
Their hands in the hand as the waves licked their bare feet with every wave, the sun had practically left when a shout was heard. Breaking the calm of the silence of Sora and Kairi, and their little moment. Both turned to see Yufi running towards them. Hand waving frantically as she tended to do as a large smile was plastered on her face. Her smile at least said it wasn't bad news, news that Sora had been all too ready for when he's name had been yelled out by her. "Quick sora,kairi come!" she said through soft pants. Breathing heavy, Yufi stopped in front of them. Placing her hands on bend knees she gathered her breaths before speaking again. "Something wonderful has happened!' she shouted with excitement, looking at Sora and Kairi's expectingly. As if they could suddenly catch her excitement as well. "Wait, what are you talking about?" Sora asked, confusion in his sky blue eyes. "Oh just come! It'll be better if you see for your selves!" she said, huge grin as her eyes twinkled mysteriously. Sharply turning on her heel, she ran off in her home's direction without another word.
Sora turned back to Kairi as she looked as suprised, then laughed lightly. "Well, We'll never find out if we don't follow her.." she said softly, standing up and dusting off the sad on her body. Sora smiled and nodded, following her lead. "Right." he laughed, running in the direction they had started on the beach to get their shoes. Opposite to contrary belief, his feet, or kairi's for that matter,were normal sized. Shoes in hand, he gave Kairi's hers before they interlocked hands again, running towards Yufi's house. Pushing open the already slightly opened door, Sora peaked his head into the house. Walking in slowly with Kairi until Yufi popped up at the top of the second floor's stairs. In large child like jumps, she flew down the stairs. "Wait here!" she exclaimed, disappearing in the kitchen's direction before returning with two chairs that belonged to the dining table. "Sit!" she said, jumping up and down in what looked like she couldn't hold back much longer. Sora shrugged and sat down, Kairi smiling constantly as Yufi's joy had invaded her too. "Come down! Their here!" Yufi yelled up the stairs, making Sora wonder why they had to sit directly in front of the stairs instead of just sitting in Yufi's lving room, that thought was dismissed though as Kairi's warm hand snaked around his with a smile. Making him forget everything he just had been thinking over.
His thoughts though, were sentenced into a state of blankness yet again. After a certain silver haired male had decided to grace their view, his breath was caught in his lungs. His hand slipping from Kairi as she hadn't even noticed it happening. She had reacted to Riku's being there much faster as she had shot up from her chair. Her eyes wide as she stared silently to the male above them. "Riku"Sora whispered, a thin film of joyous tears forming in his eyes as he looked up at his best friend. "You're home...You're really here..." Sora said softly, standing up slowly from his chair as a faintly smirking Riku made his descent to the first floor.
Riku's Point of view;;
Taking a deep breath, Riku braced himself for what was nerve racking. He hadn't seen Sora since the time they both had closed the door to light. Where he and mickey had been trapped inside after the door had been shut from both sides. Not to mention he hadn't exactly had a favorable encounter with Sora the last time they had met. What with him being a puppet to harm the two closest people to him. Well someone who was close to him, and someone he loved. Taking the first few steps, he finally revealed himself to the duo below. Kairi had shot up from her seat as she just stared at him incrediously. He couldn't blame her. He, himself, was surprised he wasn't still swallowed up by the darkness. "Kairi." he whispered faintly. Oh what to say, what could he say? Well, he had thought about the thousands of things he had once wanted to tell her. How he had once loved her, how he once would have given his life up for her and how he practically almost gave up his heart trying to save her. Everything he had wanted to say, had lost all it's meaning. He had found another in her oblivious replacement.
Sora... was a different story all together. The boy, no, the teen with the chesnut colored hair looked up at Riku quietly, unmoving as both he and Kairi had yet to move. Riku smirked faintly though as Sora had finally reacted, getting up from his chair as well. His beautiful sky blue eyes staring intently at Riku, a lovely glaze that pierced through him. If Riku was dark, Sora was his light, and oh how Sora's light made him feel alive. Innocent eyes that looked upon him gave him judgement to his darkness, and yet it was the very same light that craddled Riku's darkness. Light that wrapped him in a warm embrace that Riku knew he would never be able to find in anyone else. Sora, in more sense that he could begin to sum up in petty words, was special. He was his light, and as Sora hugged him, the warmth flowed into him. His eyes slowly closed as he let out a sigh of content, a hand going to half hug the brunette as well. It was short lived as Sora and Kairi had called for him to sit in the living room. Letting out a soft chuckle, he followed through with their wishes, knowing it was more for his sake considering there had been two perfectly good chairs in front of the chairs. Where they could have just sat without a hassle and let him stand.
Once at the living room, playing catch up was the game as Sora and Kairi went on and on about how the worlds had returned to normal. Well not exactly normal, there were still heartless roaming around, but the worlds had stopped falling apart and had 'reset' to their prior states of well being. Riku nodded here and there, Sora and Kairi throwing information at him left and right. About people and how their lives were going the last time they had checked, contests, new people, and new worlds they had discovered. Just information that Riku soaked up, taking in tid bits by tid bits as it kept waterfalling over him. As soon as Riku thought they were done, yet another piece was brought to his attention, so by the end, Riku clung to the pieces he had been able to remember. Everything had been fine until Kairi had chimmed up once more. "And the great part of this all is that now you can come to the wedding!" she said, mirth filling her tone. "Wait, what wedding?' Riku questioned with a raised eyebrow. Not really knowing any two people who would actually get married. Tying the knot for him always seemed...questionable. He just hadn't found that person he could settle for. He couldn't have sora, it would just be weird right?
That train of thought was thrown out a invisible window as Sora had spoken up to where Kairi had left off.
Sora came up from behind her finally stepping into the picture. "Our wedding, Kairi is my fiance. We're getting married!" he said with pride and joy. His bright blue eyes filled with a joy that made Riku cringe inside. 'We're getting married!'...those words played over and over in my mind. Mockingly as fate rubbed it in his face that Sora could never belong to him. That Sora wasn't meant to be his, but now that he was doomed to watch him be happy with another. "Riku? Riku? Arent u happy for us?" Sora asked, snapping Riku from his daze. "Huh? Oh yeah,of course i am. So whens the wedding" Riku asked casually, painfully casually as he silently dying inside. "oh its in a couple of weeks." Sora chirped up, making another pain stab into his chest at the happy tone and when his hands covered her's. "That's great sora,im glad." Riku said, tone joyous for them. "Who knew that fruit would have worked so well?" Riku joked, making Sora blushed faintly. "Aww Riku! Don't bring that up, that's when we were kids. I didn't even eat one with her yet..." he whined, making Riku laugh and Kairi giggle. Sora was still the same Sora. As for Riku, he had changed far more than his best friend would ever know, but as long as Sora kept smiling, he'd keep pretending.
Then again, who had said he couldn't have Sora just yet?
X-XThe Next DayX-X
Riku sat in the tree looking at the far ocean view thinking of his plan. Wondering whether it would fool Sora, but then he didn't really have much to fret about. Sora had always been and unfortunately would always be gullible. When it came to what he told him at least. It was five in the afternoon, and Sora was probably released by Kairi by now to let him come over with the meeting he had set up this morning. His fingers brushed over the warm glass over the bottle he held in his hand, a fake King Mickey note inside of it that would seal his fate and Sora's should he buy it. There was a part of him that wanted Sora to wise up and question him about the fake letter's origins, there was another bigger part that wanted it so bad for Sora to blindly agree. "Riku!" a familiar shout came from behind, making Riku turn away from the sun to see Sora running over the board walk over to him. Waving as he smiled his endless smiles. "So what's up riku? Why did you want to meet me here today?" he asked, though his eyes had already traveled to the bottle Riku had in his hands. "Oh nothing, King Mickey sent a letter saying that he wants us to go run out a small group of heartless gathering in Wonderland's world." Riku said casually, after all, the most successful part of not being caught in a lie was to not be nervous. His heart though, beat mercilessly in his rib cage. Sora caught the bottle Riku had tossed him carelessly, opening it to gently pull out the letter from the bottle.
Riku waited for the moment where Sora would have cried 'fake' over the letter, but it never came. "Ok riku,so-" Sora began as he placed the letter back into the bottle. Tossing it to Riku, as said silver headed male was still rewinding his mind to process that Sora hadn't taken notice. That his poor friend really was a gullible as he thought. The part that had wanted Sora to find out was gone. Sora had unknowingly locked away his fate when he hadn't inspected the letter better, in the long run, Riku could at least say he had given Sora a slight chance to have avoided everything his devious mind had formulated over night. "Sora!" came a yell. Sora and Riku turned to see kairi running towards them. "Hi Kairi!" Sora waved back. Kairi came over, giving Riku a hello before turning to Sora. Riku looked away from them as his tongue clicked in annoyance. Same Kairi, she had always favored Sora over him anyways, only now he wasn't jealous over Sora. Just more jealous she came to rob him of precious time with Sora, hadn't she gotten him all day? What could possibly be pressing right now? After Sora and Kairi exchanged a few giggling mutters, it had changed to Sora explaining to Kairi about the 'King's' letter.
Her face fell as sadness veiled over her expression. "How long will you be long?" she asked in a tiny voice, Riku didn't even have to look back at them to know Sora's lovely expression had copied her's. "Don't worry Kairi,its going to be really quick this time and then we'll be back in time for the wedding. I promise ok?" sora reassured her,Riku said nothing. Life was filled with unkept promises right? Why shouldn't she taste's life's bitter wine without Sora dying to protect her from drinking from it? "Ok sora! Remeber you promised!" she said, old habbits showing as her childish promises were brought back into the picture. Riku scoffed softly under his breath at the sound of Sora kissing her. He cursed his hearing then, it was painful hearing them, but he was sure if he saw them, he wouldn't be able to hold back. "Well.. I have to make dinner okay Sora? I'll leave you guys to it.. Bye Riku!" she said, and Riku gave a small wave without turning back to watch her leave. When her footsteps were gone from his hearing range, he jumped off the tree. Sora still had a dreamy expression on his face, glazing off in the direction she had left in. Riku sighed and shook his head. It was all too much. "Lets go" Riku growled faintly under his breath as he yanked Sora towards the beach. "So now what riku?' he asked, hands behind his head as he walked next to Riku. Riku shrugged as his hands were dug inside his pockets. "Well we should make plans,on how to fight against the heartless and we should go to the tree house better. I dont want to get sand in my pants." he said, softly provoking the other. Knowing that Sora would start a race soon enough and if he didn't, Riku was sure if he brought it up, Sora would jump at the challenge. "Oh ok riku, never really used a plan for defeating heartless before though. Why the tree house? We can just go back to my place." Sora said, being logical for this time around, it made Riku want to clap for his friend's achievement. "What, a little scared of a challenge Sora? Scared I'll win again?"Riku smirked, making the other huff and then smirk himself. Determination persisting in the azure orbs that playfully lured Riku with every look. "Lets go. Race ya" Sora shouted as he got a heads start.
Riku laughed, poor sora. "Hey! Cheater!" Riku yelled, beginning to run after sora as best he could through the sand.
