A Reunion of Sorrows
Chapter 1: The News
Sora's life was currently as perfect as he thought possible. He was eighteen and living with his boyfriend Riku, who he thought was the hottest man to walk the earth. He had great friends like the twins Kairi and Namine who were like little sisters to him. Demyx who was one of Riku's friends, and as scary as he could be Sora had to say he liked Riku's older brother Sephiroth as long as he wasn't mad. There was also Sora's foster brother Kaikou who lived a few blocks away. When Sora was little his parents had adopted a boy because they thought Sora needed someone to play with and his mom was unable to have anymore children. Yeah, Sora thought his life was perfect but nothing good lasts forever.
"Another victim has been found in an alley it is definitely the work of the serial killer currently on the loose." The T.V. declared even though no one was really listening. Sora was in the kitchen making dinner and Riku was in the shower. Sora was only partially paying attention to the food on the stove which was basically some hot dogs boiling in water cause Sora really wasn't a good cook. His thoughts were focused on the person currently occupying the shower. Sora remembered a trip to the island they used to play on as kids. They thought it would be fun to go visit and they went for a swim. Sora remembered Riku coming out of the ocean with the water dripping from his hair and his perfect physique.
"Careful they're gonna overcook."
Sora looked down and noticed the hot dogs were getting a little too cooked and grabbed the fork to get them out but went a little too fast cause some of the boiling water splashed onto his arm. He cried out as the water singed his flesh.
"Careful!" Riku shouted as he put a paper towel under some cold water and pressed it on Sora's arm.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah I'm fine Riku." he replied.
Riku got the other hot dogs out and got them ready then they sat down on the couch and flipped the channel and started to eat.
"So what had you so distracted?" Riku questioned.
"Nothing" Sora said a little too defensively.
"Really cause by the look in your eyes it was probably something you really liked." Riku said a certain way.
"You'll never know." Sora teased.
"Oh really?" Riku stated as he jumped on Sora and tickled him to death.
"Ah Ri-Riku st-stop ca- haa haa can't breath." Sora said giggling.
"I'll stop once you tell me." Riku said playfully.
This went on for a while until Sora finally gave up.
"Ok, ok you win it was you." Sora said embarrassed.
Riku noticed his cheeks slightly redden and attacked him again but this time he didn't tickle him to death instead he kissed him. Sora returned the kiss but before anything else could happen the phone rang.
"Damn phone." Sora said glaring at it.
Riku got up to answer it.
"Hello. Ok hold on. It's for you Sora."
Sora stalked over to the phone glaring at it the whole time.
"Hello?"
"Is this Sora Tenkuu?"
"Yes"
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this but your aunt and uncle have been in a car accident and they didn't make it."
"What, When?"
"Earlier today, I am sorry for your loss but there is another reason for this call. You're younger cousin Roxas is now without a home and you are the only relative we found so do you think he can stay with you or do you know of any other relatives?"
"Hey Riku, do you mind if we have a guest for a while?"
"Why" Riku asked worried by the look on his boyfriends face."
"My cousin doesn't have a home anymore my aunt and uncle are dead." He said holding back tears.
"Sure he can stay." Riku said sympathetically.
"You can send Roxas here we'll take care of him."
"Alright, he'll probably arrive around noon tomorrow."
"That's fine, I have to go now."
"I understand goodbye." Sora hung the phone up.
All the tears he was holding back just came out and he ran to Riku who just held him telling him everything would be ok. Sora eventually fell asleep in Riku's lap and Riku carried him to bed.
"Goodnight koi, sleep well you need it." He whispered as he kissed Sora's head and climbed into bed.
