Yo. Kura here, and look, Riku/Sora! Not AkuRoku for once! I'm seemingly incapable of chapter fics, though. Ahwell, oneshots are fun. Enjoy the fluffyness!
Warnings: Shonenai. That's all. And Sora wearing Riku's pants.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, or Riku or Sora. Or the song at the end of this fic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I collapsed backwards onto my bed, hoisting up the phone, and hastily typed in a number.
"Yo."
"Hey Ri. Can I come over tonight?"
"...I dunno Sora. Maybe tomorrow?"
"Riii, I have school tomorrow!!"
He sighed. "Huh... fine. See you in an hour." Click.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been seven months, two weeks, four days, and seventeen hours since me and Riku made it back to the islands. I'm sixteen now, and have gone back to school. All the knowledge I picked up has excelled me to the final year; I'm a year younger than most of the people in my class. Except for Kairi. She's in my class, too! I'm so glad to be back here.
But... Riku left school already. He's only two months older than me, but a lot more mature. He passed everything with near-perfect to perfect scores. It's kinda scary. But, I've known him twelve years. I'm used to how perfect he is.
I did not just say he was perfect.
Bad Sora.
I spent most of my time out of school with Riku, and sometimes Kairi, too. She always mentioned how when we were missing, she couldn't change. It was like she was stuck in time, waiting for us.
It makes me happy knowing that my sister-figure cared for us. That's who Kairi is; she's like my older sister, always fussing over me. She knows that. And takes advantage of it, sometimes humiliating my to no end in public, pointing out little things that didn't need to be pointed out.
Like that one time when I fell down the escalator in the shopping centre and managed to catch Riku around the neck while I was falling and he-
Oh crap. Look at the time! I'm supposed to be at Riku's!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a hurried pack, I forgot my pyjama pants. I had to borrow some of Riku's, and frankly, they're to big and look ridiculous.
I think Riku does too, because he won't look me in the eye. It's kind of unnerving, and it's making me a little worried.
"Riku?"
He glances up, but looks past me. He's a little red...
"Are you sick? Is that why you didn't want me to come over?"
He looks down again.
"Sort of..."
"Well, I'm staying anyway," I smile softly at him as he glances back up. "I want to spend a little more time with you on weekends."
He turns a bit redder.
I wonder what's going on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's twelve PM.
Riku beat me six times in Super Smash Brother Melee.
Damn Marth and his pretty-boy power. Roy is so much better, he has fire!!
We settled down for sleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A soft noise awoke me.
I turn over, trying to shake it away, but I glance over at Riku, and realise, that for the first time ever, I'm seeing and hearing him cry.
His tall shape is shuddering, curled under the blankets. I hop out of Riku's bed (he's sleeping on the floor, ever the generous one) and rush over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Sora, I..."
He moves to wipe his tears away, but I grab his wrist. He gasps, and catches my eyes for the first time in two days.
"Shhh..." I soothed, wiping one of the tears trickling down his cheek away.
His arms slip under mine and he holds me like a lifeline. I wrap my arms around his neck, and he nuzzles his face in my shoulder.
"I-it's... I-i... Ah- j-just everything... i-it's all been haunting me lately... a-and only you could possibly u-underssstand... what I m-mean..."
He chokes out a sob, and I hold him tighter.
"Riku... look at me."
He didn't look up.
"Riku... Riku!"
I grab his chin and force his eyes up. His ears and cheeks turn red and he tries to divert his eyes. I smile a little, and say his name once more.
"Riku... I do. I understand. You know, I know. When I found you, it was like..."
He looks at me, finally, biting his bottom lip. He's red, and it finally clicks: he's blushing.
That's another first.
"It was like..." I continued, "Nothing mattered. you were there, we were together again, even when I thought I'd never see you again, and it felt like we could do anything. And we did, didn't we?"
He blushes a little deeper. I realise how close I am, and that I'm still holding his chin.
He leans up a little more, making the slight distance between us even smaller. Now it's my turn to go a little pink.
"Sora?"
"H-hm?"
"Thankyou."
And after that, he smiled, genuinely, for the first time in seven months, two weeks, five days, and three hours since we got back.
And I kissed him.
I don't know why I did it. It's been bugging me. I thought I knew how I felt, and I didn't think it was like this.
Hang on. What if he...?
I was a bit worried when his arms fell limply from under mine. I was expecting him to pull away and run out of the room, or yell at me, but he just sat there for a second.
But then it felt so damn right when his arms wrapped themselves around my neck, and I opened my mouth a little to let his tongue in.
I was... kissing Riku. And I'm enjoying it.
We stayed like that for a while, getting to know each other's tastes. He was like lemons and sugar. I realised he was still crying.
I whimpered when he pulled away the first time, then let out a slight little cross between a gasp and a moan when his mouth moved down to my neck, his teeth lightly scraping my skin.
I cluched him a bit tighter when I realised his tears were still falling onto my bare shoulder.
When he finally moved away, his eyes locked straight onto mine. He wasn't crying anymore.
"Why?" was all he asked.
"It was right," I responded, touching my lips. "I knew it was."
"Then i'm glad," he said, smiling that wonderful smile again, "that we both think so. It was better than that time you pulled me down the escalator and I landed on you."
I blushed and he nuzzled my cheek, his face still a little wet.
But that was okay.
Tears are emotion in tangible form, after all.

When I think
of what I've been through
I can see
that you've always been there for me
to tell the truth
don't know what I'd do
without you
Half of my dreams would not come true
You are the one
that I have hoped for
Now my life
means so much more
Now we can be
together forever
Forever just you and me
be here for you
you here for me
It was you
who showed me I got a friend in you
I always knew
that you'd be right here for me
and it was you
who stuck with me
when the skies were blue
and it was you
who stood by my side
It was you
Since the day
you came in my life
I knew then
that you'd be someone by my side
Then you proved
you're a friend to me
Within my heart
wherever, you will always be
You are the one
that i have hoped for
all my life
means so much more
now we can be
together forever
just you and me
there for each other
It was you
who showed me I got a friend in you
I always knew
that you'd be right here for me
and it was you
who stuck with me
when the skies were blue
and it was you
who stood by my side
It was you
It was you
who showed me I got a friend in you
I always knew
that you'd be right here for me
and it was you
who stuck with me
when the skies were blue
and it was you
who stood by my side
It was you
It was you
who was always right by my side
when I just can't do it
you helped me through it
we're friends forever
like best friends should be
You'll always be
a special part of me
It was you
who showed me I got a friend in you
I always knew
that you'd be right here for me
and it was you
who stuck with me
when the skies were blue
and it was you
who stood by my side
It was you
It was you
who showed me I got a friend in you
I always knew
that you'd be right here for me
and it was you
who stuck with me
when the skies were blue
and it was you
who stood by my side
It was you
It was you
showed me I've got a friend
I always knew
that you'd be right there
It was you
stuck with me when the skies were blue
and it was you
I know that I can count on you
It was you
who showed me I got a friend in you
I always knew
that you'd be right here for me
and it was you
who stuck with me
when the skies were blue
and it was you
who stood by my side
It was you
You are a friend to me,
It was you
-owari-

The song at the end is "It Was You" by Ashley Ballard and So Plush. I've been listening to my Pokemon: The First Movie soundtrack that I got when I was like... eight... too much.
