A/N: A quick drabble, inspired by "Dearly Beloved" from Birth by Sleep and the secret (?) ending for the game with Riku, Sora and Kairi at Destiny Islands. The last drabble I wrote which focused on this pair was a huge ball of angst, so I thought it was appropriate to write some fluff.
Warnings: Male x Male relationships, spoilers, screwing with canon, possible OOCness, and many others.
Pairings: Sora x Roxas, Riku x Zexion.
Dearly Beloved
"Are you going to tell Roxas?"
Sora looks down at the beach when Kairi speaks those words. He sees his Nobody drawing things in the sand while Zexion watches with cool indifference. The blond took a liking to the beach when he first arrived, while his companion thought the whole place was "deplorable" and "too bright".
The keyblade wielder smiles faintly when he sees Roxas throw a wild grin in Zexion's general direction. With the way he acted at times, no one would guess he lacked a heart, but Sora was always reminded of the fact when he felt his Nobody's cool skin or when he kissed him. It was always lacking something and Roxas apologized each time he saw the look on Sora's face, but he'd wave him off, saying that this is what he signed up for.
"Sora?"
Sora shakes his head of the thoughts, looking over at his best friends. Kairi doesn't understand, can't understand because if she falls in love with someone, they'll have a heart, but when he looks at Riku, he knows his other best friend does. He was in love with Zexion, after all, and while Roxas would try to show some kind of emotion, Zexion would show none of it besides returning small gestures.
"Sorry. I was … distracted," Sora admits, flashing a lopsided grin at Kairi and Riku. Kairi laughs while Riku gives him a faint smile. "I'll go tell him. You guys wait here."
"I'm coming with you," Riku says, his tone holding no room for argument. "I have to get Zex to eat something."
Sora simply nods at that, knowing that the other Nobody had a tendency to forget to eat when he was absorbed in tasks. Sometimes, he wouldn't bother because he didn't feel like it, and it was something that caused Riku plenty of frustration.
They make their way to the beach where Roxas returned to drawing in the sand and Zexion sat on a piece of wood, a blank expression on his face. Sora watches as Riku's face lights up a little at the sight of the Nobody and he grins, pushing his friend over to him and making his way towards Roxas.
"Hey Sor," Roxas greets him without looking up. He continues doodling; what exactly, Sora doesn't know, but he can make out a paopu fruit and faces. "What's up?"
"I wanted to talk to you," he begins, fidgeting a little when Roxas looks up from his drawings to give him a confused look. "I have to go. The King sent me a letter and-…"
"You have to go save someone, or someones, right?" the Nobody inquires. He pulls on Sora's arm until he falls on the sand with him and points to the drawings he made. "That's fine. Once you come back, we can do what I depicted here."
Sora tilts his head and stares closer at the doodles in the sand. After he recognizes the faces, he blushes and smiles. "Yeah, of course. I'd love to do that with you, Rox."
Roxas grins, although, like his kisses, something is missing from it. He leans forward and places a butterfly kiss against Sora's neck, giving his hair a quick muss before letting him go. "I'll see you when you get back."
"Stay safe, okay?"
"Don't worry," Roxas reassures, lightly stroking Sora's hand. "I will."
Fin.
