Chapter I: What have I done

'Riku...'

The soft waves washed up his bare feet as he stud on the shore, watching the sunset in deep thought. The feeling has grown deeper within Sora. He's known Riku all his life. They were close friends and a part of him wanted to get closer. But he was unsure how Riku felt. Now that Kairi has joined their island, he's notice how distant they've become. It's quite obvious how Riku feels about Kairi, and it's unnerving. Don't get him wrong, it wasn't like he didn't like Kairi, she was a great person. She was just pulling them apart. And fast. 'If I don't tell him...I might not ever get the chance again...' He closed his eyes and inhaled the crisp evening air. Often, it relaxed him, giving him what he needed most.

"Sora!"

Jolting him from his thoughts, he opened his eyes to see a slightly fatigued Riku walking towards him. "What's up Riku?" he said with his usual cheesy grin. Trying not to blush at the older boy. With his clear aqua eyes shimmering and silver hair swaying in the light breeze from off the sea. Sometimes he seemed absolutely stunning. "Training as usual." He ruffled up Sora's hair. "The same thing you should be doing." Sora pouted. "I don't need to! See this?" he flexed a kiwi sized muscle on his arm. "That's all I need to kick your butt!" the silver haired one laughed. "Yet...you never can." Sora smiled. That's the first time they've talked without Kairi name popping in. "Is that a challenge Riku?" he kicked his shoes off and tried to get into a complex fighter stance. Slowly shaking his head, he replied "Nah...kinda tired." brushing a few silver strands from his face. "Coward!" Sora pounced him knocking them both into the water. Riku jumped up immediately. "Sora! You-!...." he sighed. Not able to stay mad at him. He only chuckled at Sora who was still on his butt, smiling goofily. He noticed how Riku's wet shirt stuck to his body, showing off how more developed he was than him. He wanted to see more.

"Prepare yourself then!" Riku warned as he charged out of no where and pinned Sora into strangle hold. "RRRRRRRRIIKU!...NO...FAIR..!" Sora frowned as he tried to pry Riku's arms from around his neck. "You think your enemy cares about being fair?" he tightened the hold. Mad at how much sense that made, he rolled frontward, out of Riku's grasp and now had him pinned down. "I'm impressed. Seems like you've learned something." he said lying perfectly still. "Yeah, I have." Sora bragged. In a blink of an eye, Riku managed to roll sideways and back on top. Bringing his face inches away from Sora's. "But...not enough." Blinking, Sora felt himself getting aroused. The body heat radiating off of the wet Riku was driving him mad. Little droplets of water tip-tapped on his face from silver strands. Thinking quickly, before he suspected anything, Sora kicked him off.

"Shut it Riku.."

As they made their way to the shore in silence, Sora was still thinking on how to solve his problem. Sitting on the shore he watched Riku as he ran his fingers through his hair, slicking it back out his face. Then proceed to remove his shirt and wring it dry. Sora's heart skipped a beat as he watched his wet bare chest glisten in the now almost gone sunlight. 'I have to tell him...I'll tell him now.' He gathered his strength. "Riku," He popped his shirt out and sat down, removing his shoes to pour water out of them. "Yeah, what is it?" he said without stopping what he was doing. "We've been friends all our lives right?" "Maybe." Sora frowned. "Seriously Riku." He stopped and sat his shoes aside. "What's your point?" Sora looked back towards the sea. "Is this about Kairi and me or something?" "...I-" he interrupted. "Because we'll always be friends." he playfully punched his arm. "I know...but...There's something I want you to know." Sora stood up. 'Now or never...' Riku looked up at him. Slight confusion hung over his face. "What's wrong? Tell me." After not getting a reply, he stood up too. "Riku, I..I..." He looked into Riku's eyes. The eyes he's grown to love so much...Before he knew what he was doing, he reached out and grabbed Riku. Giving him a what-the-hell look, Riku started "Sor-" but was cut off by Sora's warm lips covering his. He felt Riku's body react with stiffness, but he didn't care. This is what he wanted for the longest... He groaned for a split second, then snapping back to reality, pushed Sora away. "Sora! What the hell are you doing?!" He spat rather loudly. "I...I..Riku..." the words couldn't come to him. "Have you lost your mind?!" Sora felt crushed. "You mean you never felt that way, Riku?" He paused, then replied "..About Kairi. Never about you..." Sora trembled. 'This...isn't happening...Can't be!'

"Sora! Riku! Hey!"

Kairi shouted from a distance as she ran up to them. 'Thank god she didn't see that' Riku thought. They both greeted her with a quiet hey. "What's up? What's with the long faces?" Riku spoke up. "It's nothing. Just tired." He looked over at the hurt Sora. "Though...I'm not sure what his problem is." he said coldly. Clearly referring to their weird event. Kairi, totally oblivious to what's going on, giggled. "hehe. You ok Sora?" Backing up slowly, he replied. "I...I'm just not feeling well. I'm going home." "Yeah, you do that Sora..." Riku said quietly. "Ok, seeya tomorrow!" Kairi waved. He turned around and made a dash to the docks. A tear flew from his face as he hurried down the dock and to his boat. Without looking back at them, he rowed quickly to his home. 'I'm such a fool!'

"That was strange...usually nothing can stop Sora, even not feeling well." she resulted. Riku watched the boat disappear around the island. "Yeah, well...whatever I guess." "What's the matter? You don't seem just tired." she held his hand. He gave her his standard smirk and shook it off. "Nothing, honest. Let's get home. It's getting late." they walked to their boats as well.

"Sora? Honey, dinner's ready."

His mother said as she peeped through his cracked door. He had came home and went straight to his room without speaking. And has been there every since. "I'm...not very hungry...you know...had some snacks with the rest." he lied miserably. "Is there something you wanna talk about?" "No." "I'm going to work now ok? You rest up." She closed the door to the now completely dark room. Listening, he heard her leave. 'I'm never leaving my house again. How can I face him? How can I face Riku?' Rolling over on his stomach, he tried his best not to cry. The feeling was horrible. Embarrassed, ashamed, heartbroken...Though, remembering his kiss with Riku cheered him up a slight bit. He'll never forget the softness of his lips. And for less than a second, he could've sworn he groaned.

Riku sat at his window, watching the stars and absorbing the night breezes. Flashbacks of Sora kissing him cease to stop. 'The things I said to him, hurt him so. I feel ashamed. But how could I let him know that I did feel the same?' he rubbed his face and sighed. His pride was always seeming to screw things up. But there's no way he can show that side of himself to Sora or anybody. He wanted to return the kiss badly, it took all his might not to wrap his arms around him and release his frustrations and love to him. 'He'll probably never come around me again...He caught me off guard. Big time.' He flopped onto his bed and rolled over to his back. "Sora. I'm sorry.." As he slowly drifted off to sleep, he could've sworn he accidentally groaned while he kissed him...
