Hide and Seek
Agami Tsukino
Chapter Warnings: Shounen-Ai, Sexual Refrences, Alcohol, Sillyness. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
Author Notes:This is a Multi-Part story, so don't get the wrong idea.
(1) The noise I was refering to was that "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH" noise Donald makes sometimes when he's mad. When he's screaming, shouting, etc. in the story, that's the noise he's making.
Chapter 1: Let's Play a Game
Sora yawned and stretched as he awoke from his daily nap, which he prided himself in taking right after lunch. But day in and day out, he would fail to account for the rising tide, and he would get wet each and every time. "Sora, why don't you ever learn?" Riku threw a towel at him and snickered as Sora quickly dried himself off. "Yanno, Riku..." Sora just sat there, his mouth agape. He couldn't think of anything witty to counter Riku's insult. A look of frustration swept his face, his eyes narrowing as the wheels in his head began to go off track, steam almost pouring from his ears. Riku laughed and walked a few steps down the beach, to stop and face the ocean.
"I guess I see why you come down here every day, it's really something." Sora scoffed at his comment. He and Riku had lived on the island for as long as they could remember, there was nothing unique about the beach, the ocean or anything else. It was all common. "Waddya mean? You come to the beach everyday..." Riku peered over his shoulder to Sora, his aqua eyes searching to meet with Sora's deep blue eyes. They were endless pools of purity, as deep and mysterious as the ocean that surrounded them. He knew there was something hidden within, something that could only be found by just diving in and finding it for himself; however, as with the ocean, there could be something as equally terrible or destructive laying in wait.
A loud crash followed by a sleu of laughter broke the connection. Sora looked up as Riku turned to see Kairi running down from town to the seaside, Donald and Goofy trailing close behind her. A wave of curses and a loud exalaimation (1) snuck up on her as she dove for cover at Sora's side. Riku let out a sharp sigh, showing his frustration. Every time he had a chance to have a slightly intimate moment with Sora, something always came up. He had the notion to just lock the herd of people that resided on the island in the mayor's house for a while, or just take Sora to their secret meeting place. Donald raised a finger and let out a loud shout as a thin bolt of lightning crashed from the sky and struck the sand just behind Kairi. She just casually stuck her tounge out at him, pulling her bottom eyelid down.
"Kairi, you sneaky little..." Donald was interrupted by Goofy's massive hand, which encompassed his bill completly. He gawked for a moment, before narrowing his eyes at Kairi. "Now Kairi, you really need to give that back to Donald before he freaks out again." Sora chuckled before he lowered himself to her level, and inquired about the situation. "What's his problem now, Kairi?" She smiled and pushed him into Donald, taking off down the beach as quickly as she had arrived. Donald shouted and made chase, Goofy closely behind. Riku smiled, he was alone with Sora again, maybe this time...
"Kairi, stop running so fast!" Selphie stopped to catch her breath, collapsing on the soft, warm sand just next to Riku. Tidus stopped to check on Selphie as Wakka took off at full speed, tossing his Blitzball ahead of him. The ball landed beneath Kairi's right foot, as it was coming to the ground. She slipped down and began to roll, while the ball flipped up to strike Donald right in the face. He fell to the floor, stars and birds flying around his head.
"Direct Hit! Take 'dat, Ya!" Wakka did a peace sign as he ran down the beach, hoping to catch them before the chase started up again. Sora lifted himself off the ground as Riku ran to his side. "Sora, are you alright?" He ran his hand through Sora's brown locks, as it seemed to rain sand. Sora blinked and pulled away from the eminent embrace. He turned to face Donald and Goofy, holding Kairi by the shoulder and arm.
"This is your last chance, Kairi, fess up! Where is it?" Donald stuck his face out, his eyes narrowing with anger. Kairi shrugged, closing her eyes sweetly, hiding behind her cloak of ignorance and neivity. "Knock it off!" Donald slapped her face, but she just laughed. What kind of damage could a duck do with a wing? He shouted and slammed his foot down onto Kairi's. She squeeled loudly, causing the gulls to take flight. She pushed free from Goofy's grip and grabbed Donald by the bill, and proceeded to swing him around. She made three rotations before tossing him into the water, and running back toward the town. Donald made a gurgling noise as he made his way back to shore, taking Goofy by the hand and rejoining the pursiut.
"Wow, she mustave done something pretty bad to get him that flustered, I haven't seen him that mad since Riku and Wakka took his hat and threw it up in a tree..." Tidus smiled sweetly before helping Selphie to her feet, and started to run back toward town. Sora began to walk that direction as well. He stopped, and didn't turn his direction. "Are you coming, Riku? The party's in a little while..." Riku smiled to himself, a single tear running down his cheek. He knew he had to be strong, but he needed a moment, or he would loose control and ruin everything. "Yeah, Sora, I'll be there in a minute." Sora blinked and shrugged, and continued walking.
Riku waited until his footfall faded to silence, the only noise was the sound of the waves crashing against the seashore. He sniffled as another stream of tears flowed down from the opposite eye, his face and nose reddening with each passing moment. He wasn't going to sit there all day crying over what he couldn't have, he knew he needed to do something. He had to tell Sora, sooner or later, because something would happen eventually and it would be exposed. He'd rather it be on his terms, than by some twist of fate. He bent to pick up a seashell, and smiled. It was a brilliant shade of pearl, with swirls of pink and blue throughout. He held it close to him and closed his eyes.
I wish that Sora would understand the feelings I have for him.
He opened his eyes, and tossed the shell out into the surf. With that, he turned and walked back toward the town.
Riku walked into the huge wood hut that Kairi lived in and took a seat on a sofa in the family room. It was commonplace for Sora, Riku, or any of their friends to casually walk into eachother's houses and it be nothing out of the ordainary. He leaned back and closed his eyes, about to doze when he heard a loud crashing and pounding. "Does it EVER end?" Riku winced as he tried to ignore the noise, but it became louder and more constant, almost rhythmic.
Donald was pounding on the bathroom door, slamming his body against it, jamming small metal objects into the keyhole in attempt to open the door, anything he could to get it open. Sora, Tidus, Wakka and Selphie just idley watched in amusment. Goofy, on the other hand, was outside, trying to scale the large wooden wall to reach the third story bathroom window. They weren't letting up, whatever Kairi had, it mustave been scandalous for Goofy and Donald to react the way they were.
Kairi flung the door open as Donald made another charge, causing him to barrel into the bathroom to collide with the shower wall. Kairi giggled as she ran to the family room, slamming herself down into a comfortable chair. Selphie slid down to the floor just to her left, and the rest of them assembled in a circle. Sora looked around, and took the only available seat left: next to Riku on the sofa. Donald stomped out of the hallway to the familyroom, stood infront of Kairi, and held his wing out. Kairi smiled and sighed, and let a small photo-sized scrap of paper fall into his feathery hand. He snatched it up quickly, placing it in the safety of his hat. He smiled, satisfied, and took a seat near Goofy in the circle.
Alright, ladies and gents, the game is Truth or Dare. Riku rolled his eyes. These games were childish, they were teenagers, this game was for babies. It reminded him of how Sora intently, until the last few months, wanted to play Hide and Seek with Riku and Kairi. He couldn't help but admire Sora's childhood innocence, but Kairi was older, she could think of something more original than Truth or Dare.
Kairi smiled as she pulled a massive number of bottles from her backpack, and handed out one to each person. Each bottle was marked with a rather large red "X". "This is Truth or Dare with a twist. Every time someone makes someone say something you've done, or dares them to do something you've done, you have to drink from this bottle." This made Riku smile, it wasn't a little kids game anymore, this was the real thing. Kairi smirked and looked over at Selphie.
"Truth or Dare, Selphie?" Selphie looked shocked. She blinked twice before looking at Kairi, and smiled. "Hmm, I say...Truth." Kairi frowned for a second, before an idea struck. "Have you ever gone all the way with a boy before?" Selphie narrowed her eyes, looked both directions, and smiled. "With a boy? Nope." Tidus and Wakka's jaws dropped as Kairi burst into laughter. Kairi looked around at the expressions on people's faces, before she narrowed her eyes at Tidus. "Tidus, you know that thing counts..." Wakka gasped and turned to face his best friend, now in a new light. "C'mon, brudda, you wouldn't do somethin' like that, wouldja?" Tidus winced as he opened the bottle, and took a swig of the sour liquid. It burned on the way down, why wouldn't it? It was the hardest liquor on the island. Wakka shook his head in disbelief and looked at Kairi defiantly. She just grinned as she turned her head to face Selphie. "Well, it's your turn, Selphie." Selphie grined mischievously as she turned to face the blushing and now reserved Tidus. "Oh Tidus, sweetie, Truth or Dare?" Tidus froze, his eyes widening at the new prediciment he was in. He knew he was stuck, if he said Truth he knew Selphie would bust him about the situation Kairi brought up, but if he chose Dare, she would be equally evil and give him something completly embarrasing to do. He gulped, and opened his mouth.
"I'm not afraid of you, Selphie. Dare!" Riku and Wakka gasped, as Sora leaned in more intentivly. Selphie grined, showing her canine teeth as fangs. "Tidus, I dare you to give Wakka a blowjob." Tidus turned red in the face as Wakka about wet himself. Tidus immeaditly rose in protest. "WHAT? I can't..." Selphie grinned as she pulled out a small blade from her purse, and rose it to Tidus. "You know what happens if you don't do as you're dared, right?" Tidus' eyes widened. The punishment for not completing a dare is cutting a rather large gash on the person's finger, and making them hold it in the ocean water for about 5 minutes. It was a battle in his mind, which was the lesser of the two evils? "Does it have to be infront of everyone?" Selphie stopped for a moment, and thought to herself. "Well, normaly I would say no, but if you and Wakka leave, how will we know you actually went through with it?"
"Damnit" Tidus began sorting through his many thoughts, before he rose and took the camera from around Kairi's neck. "How about if we go back to your room, and I take a picture of us doing that, and give it to you?" Selphie smiled at the thought, but she wouldn't be able to tease them if they didn't go through with it all the way. "That will do for now, but you'll have to do it eventually." Tidus sighed as he motioned for Wakka to rise, and they walked off into Kairi's room together. Selphie cackled wildly, pride beaming from her face. She could be truely evil, when the occaison called for it. Wakka stormed from the room just seconds later, Tidus shortly behind. "Listen Wakka, I was just..." Wakka delivered the camera and the poloroid shot to Selphie, and took a seat across the circle from Tidus. It was obvious from the picture and from Wakka's expression, Tidus had gone a little too far for Wakka's comfort. Selphie smiled in satisfaction, and turned to Tidus. "Alright, looks like it's your turn."
Tidus smiled to himself, before turning to Donald. "DONALD! TRUTH OR DARE!" Donald looked up in shock, he didn't think they'd call on him. "Uh...Truth?" Donald decided to play it safe, he didn't want a repeat of the last dare, or worse. Tidus reveled in his newfound power, and decided to use his rage from the previous dare to fuel a new inferno. "Donald, what did Kairi have that made you and Goofy flip out so badly earlier?" Donald's face froze, as he looked to Goofy. Goofy gawked with his mouth agape, his teeth hanging out. Donald sighed, and looked at Tidus. He motioned him closer, and went in to whisper. The sound of a sharp SLAP was heard as Tidus tumbled to the floor. "THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Wakka smirked as he pulled Donald's hat from his head, and tossed the picture to Tidus. Donald screamed and tackled Wakka to the floor, fighting him for what he didn't know Tidus had. Donald turned, his face full of rage, his eyes like a burning inferno, to face Tidus. He leapt across the circle to tackle Tidus to the floor, just after he had tossed the picture into the air. The picture landed in the center of the circle, and laughter erupted. Donald stopped, knowing he was defeated.
The picture depicted a drunken kiss. The laughter was so loud it could be heard all 'round the island. Donald took the photo and shoved it in his mouth, and began chomping and chewing the photo into nothingness. After a short while, the laughter began to die down, and the game resumed.
A few hours had past, and many of the drinks were down past their halfway markers. Kairi laughed, and looked at Sora. "Sora, Truth or Dare?" Sora was red in the cheeks, not from embarrasment, but from the alcohol. He was a little guy, and that alcohol took a quick and firm grasp on him. "Dare!" Kairi laughed to herself, and looked to Riku. He was looking at Sora, his eyes never averting themselves. Kairi caught on pretty quickly, and returned to look at Sora. "I dare you to make out with Riku." A river of "oohs" followed, as Sora's face turned an odd shade of red, a mix of Embarrasment and Drunkeness. "Kiss Riku? For how long?" Kairi looked to Selphie, who was holding up both hands, her fingers extended. Kairi nodded. "10 seconds." Tidus broke free from his drunken daze to protest. "I had to take a picture of Wakka's dick in my mouth, and Sora get's to kiss Riku for 10 seconds!" Wakka placed his hand on Tidus' shoulder, and he fell back down to his reclined position.
Sora looked a little bewildered, now faced with this rather odd prediciment. Riku was his best friend, and he had always noticed something about Riku, something he couldn't quite place. He tried to let his brain sort things out, but the alcohol was just washing each thought away as soon as they surfaced. He gave up, and turned to face Riku. His hands instantly grabbed Sora's face, and he forced his face to his own, and brushed his lips to Sora's. Sora opened his eyes wide in suprise, he didn't expect Riku to be this...willing. Riku was like a wildman, mauling Sora's lips with his own lips and tounge, pressing against Sora's puckered lips. Sora finally gave way and parted them, and allowed Riku entry to his mouth. Sora began feeling less tense, as he let his feelings take over, he began returning the kiss. "Alright boys, that's 10. That's a wrap." Kairi smiled but then had an odd look on her face. Sora and Riku were still kissing. She wasn't sure what was causing it, were they always this way, but she never noticed? Was this all just induced by the Alcohol? Riku opened his eyes and looked at the circle, all eyes on him and Sora. He chuckled softly to himself, before taking Sora by the hand, and walking down the hall.
"NO YOU DON'T! RIKU, YOU COME BACK HERE!" Kairi was hot on their tail, but it was too late. Her bedroom door slammed shut just as she came to the door. She put her ear against the door, as if to listen for any noise or them talking. She heard one noise that enraged her more than anything.
