Hey guys! It has been a while! So i was playing Kingdom hearts (and getting lost in the process) and i ended up going to Atlantis where Ariel is, and with Sora as a merman, i just got inspired to write something where he is turned into a merman. I don't know, don't judge XD I wrote this as i went, so i don't know where it is going.
I planned to make this a one shot but i decided to extend it at least another chapter or 2. thoughts?
anyway, enjoy!
There aren't really any spoilers either, considering I've only played like 3 kingdom heart games myself XD
I do not own any of the characters, as much as i wish i did -cries-
"Donald, where is Sora?" 20 year old Riku asked the duck. After defeating one heartless after another, the team decided to relax on a secluded island, with many cabins, a large beach, and many secrets to be discovered; but somehow within a few days, Sora had disappeared.
"Uhh I dunno." Donald shrugged, before returning to his attempts at tanning. Riku rolled his eyes. Like a duck could possibly tan. He thought. The heat from the sun was agonizing without hopping into the ocean every 20 minutes. Riku jogged along the beach shores, calling out for Sora.
He and Sora had been through a lot, and while their friendship had gotten closer, Riku began to have trouble hiding his true intentions. Riku was in love with Sora. Watching the young 17 year old grow up from the little boy he was, made Riku smile at the thought. Sora was always so optimistic, and never once gave up on Riku through their hardships. Riku realized his feelings for the boy were true when they fell asleep near each other, exhausted from a battle, and Riku couldn't keep his eyes off the soft looking lips that lay on the boy's face.
Ever since then, Riku has done his best to hide his lust for Sora, but sometimes the boy was just to oblivious to the pain he would cause Riku. Whether it was by bending over right in front of Riku, or coming out of the shower with simply a towel loosely wrapped around his waist; it drove Riku crazy. He would constantly have to excuse himself as he got as far away from Sora to deal quickly with his "problem" before he was found out. Being a 20 year old, and a virgin at that, the desires are so overwhelming.
"Riku!" Riku stopped short, almost tripping over his own two feet as he turned around. Kairi, Sora and Riku's best friend, ran towards Riku waving her arms. "Hey Kairi, what's up?" Riku asked once she was closer. Kairi bent over, breathing hard. "Oh... I have not run that much in years..." Kairi looked up and beamed. "I saw you running and wanted to see what was going on."
"Have you seen Sora?" He asked immediately. Kairi looked thoughtful as she looked around. "I am afraid I haven't. Why? Is he in trouble?" She asked. Riku shook his head. "No... I just haven't seen him for a few hours."
Kairi giggled at this. "You are so attached to him, it almost seems like you are in love with him." Riku snapped at her, a blush spread across his face. "I am NOT!" He growled. Kairi jumped at this, before crossing her arms and looking at him with one eyebrow raised. "Oh really? That is exactly something someone would say if they WERE in love."
Riku blushed again and looked away. Kairi giggled and clapped her hands. "I knew it! I always knew there was something going on between you too! So when did it start?"
"Nothing started . . . He doesn't know my feelings for him." Riku mumbled. Kairi pouted "Aww how come? You too shy?" Riku scowled and stomped away.
"I'll let you know if I find him!" Kairi called after him, giggling loud enough for him to hear. Riku rubbed at his nose, willing the blush to leave his face.
"Goofy... I don't know what to do!" Sora moaned, wrapping his arms around his chest, a worried expression plastered on his face.
An hour ago, Sora had gone exploring, before he found a cave on the backside of the island. The cave was so hidden it could be mistaken for a simple large rock any day. A small stream of water from the ocean also made it's way into the cave. Sora was eager to enter the cave before he noticed Goofy fishing nearby. "Goofy! Come with me!" He had called out. Goofy, eager to have fun with his friends, followed eagerly.
The two had made their way deep into the cave as Sora lit a small torch in the corner with fire to see better. Upon reaching the end of the rather small cave, Sora noticed that the small stream that entered the Cave, had expanded into the size of a kiddie pool. Next to the pool of water, sat a single pedestal with a gem on it.
"This looks really out of place." Sora noticed, walking over to the gem and taking it out of its holder to examine it. Suddenly a light burst around Sora, and before he knew it, he was turned into his merman form from when he was in Atlantis. "W-What?" Sora gasped, flopping around a bit as he tried to get his bearings.
Goofy freaked out and ended up slipping on the wet rocks, landing in a pile with Sora and sending them both into the water inside the cave.
Now here they were, with Sora unable to leave the water, and Goofy freaking out. "Goofy! Calm down! Go find Donald and see if he can reverse the spell." Sora yelled, trying to reach Goofy over his panicking. Goofy got the message and ran out of the cave, hopefully going to find Donald.
A few minutes later, Goofy returned with Donald, who looked over the gem without removing it from where it sat on the ground. "I don't think I can reverse this spell."
"You can't?" Sora gasped, worried. "I'm sorry, I just can't figure this out. It is a very odd spe-"
"Hey! Donald! Over here!" Goofy suddenly called, a bit deeper into the cave, behind the pedestal. Donald left Sora to see what Goofy was looking at, before speakin loud enough for Sora to hear.
"Hey Sora! I think there is a way to fix the spell! There are words on this wall... hmmm... 'True love breaks the spell.'"
"Man why does everything in all these worlds have to do with true love?" Sora groaned, splashing his fins in the water. Donald laughed, despite the situation. "Garsh, I guess you need to kiss the one you love?" Goofy said, pointing out the obvious.
"That's right! Should we get Kairi?" Donald asked. Sora blushed. "N-no! I like her but not in that way."
"What do we do?" Goofy started to panic again. "Get a hold of yourself! Sora, is there anyone you like?"
Sora blushed again. "N-No... I dont like anyone..." Donald looked worried. "Goofy, let's go find Kairi, maybe she can help us figure this out." Goofy nodded before quickly leaving the cave.
"Don't worry Sora, we will be back soon!" Donald called out as he ran out. Sora sighed and lay his head against the wet rocks, moving his fins in and out of the water. "Maybe being a merman won't be so bad..." Sora sighed, closing his eyes.
Meanwhile Donald and Goofy ran along the beach calling out for Kairi. Kairi was wandering near the cabins the team stayed in before she caught sight of the two. "What is it?" She asked when they got closer. "Sora is in trouble!" Donald croaked.
"He has a spell on him that can only be broken with true love, but he said he doesn't love anyone!" Goofy rubbed the back of his neck. Kairi looked thoughtful before smiling. "I think I know what to do. You two stay here, I will be right back." The two were eager to take a breather, so they made their way inside the cabin. Kairi ran along the side of the beach, before realizing that Riku was no longer there.
"Riku! Riiikuuuu!" Kairi cupped her hands around her mouth as she yelled. She wandered near the small forest on their island before Riku popped out. "What is it?" He asked, breathing hard, clearly panicking due to being unable to find Sora. "I know where Sora is!" Kiari said as she explained the situation the two animals told her.
Before long Riku made his way to the cave and walked inside. As he got deeper, he heard someone sniffing. "Sora...?" He asked, hesitantly. The sniffing stopped quickly, and a small sound followed. "Riku..."
Riku rushed deeper into the cave and almost tripped over Sora, who was leaning on the edge of the rocks. "Gah it is so dark in here." Riku scowled as he landed on a sharp rock. "T-the torch burnt out while I was in h-here..." Sora sniffed, trying to calm his nerves.
Riku placed his hands along the wall until he found the torch again, which still was burnable, and quickly lit it. He turned around and gasped at the sight. Sora looked like a baby, tears welling up as he held onto the rocks and his fins slapped out of the water.
"Sora... you are a merman?" Riku looked confused. "The spell.. w-whatever it is, turned me into this... I can't change back.. w-what do I do?" Sora's voice raised a bit, panic filled his eyes. Riku quickly rushed over and embraced the boy, hugging his chest tightly to his own. Sora was pulled out of the water when he was hugged, and his eyes widened. Riku had never hugged him so tightly before.
Before long Sora closed his eyes, pressing his face against Riku's chest and inhaled his delicious scent as he hugged Riku back just as tightly.
Riku could feel himself becoming too excited with the closeness, and quickly push Sora away, keeping his hands on the boy's shoulders. "Ahem.. we need to figure out how to change you back. I won't let you stay a merman forever."
Sora nodded as he slipped back into the water. "But what am I suppose to do? I don't have a true love."
Riku looked thoughtful, and spoke quietly, almost inaudible. "What if someone who loved you, kissed you?"
Sora looked up at Riku. "Don't both people have to love each other?"
"Well it could be different in this case..."
"Well I don't think Kairi loves me that way, and I am not going to kiss Donald or Goofy."
"What about me?" Riku asked quietly, avoiding eye contact with Sora. Sora looked up at him with wide eyes. "W-What? What did you say?"
Riku took a deep breath and looked down at Sora. "What if I kissed you?"
Sora turned so red that Riku almost became concerned. "Y-You want to k-kiss me?" Sora choked out.
"If it means turning you back, then yes."
"So t-that means you l-l-lo-"
Riku didn't wait for Sora to finish, as he reached down, pulling Sora swiftly out of the water and kissing him deeply. Sora squeaked loudly, pushing slightly at Riku's chest. Riku reached down, wrapping his arms around Sora's merman's fin and pulling him completely out of the water and setting the brunette boy in his lap.
Sora gasped and Riku quickly shoved his tongue into the small boy's mouth. The wet, warm cavern was like heaven for Riku. He felt himself sigh happily as he finally was able to kiss the boy he loved for so long.
Sora had a thousand thoughts running through his head as he tried to process just what was going on. Before he even knew what had happened, he was sitting in Riku's lap with Riku's tongue in his mouth. Sora didn't realize just how stiff he was until Riku shifted himself a bit on the hard rocks.
His lips.. are so soft... Sora thought to himself. He didn't feel any changes with his body, so it was obvious that the kiss wasn't working. Sora struggled against Riku and pushed away, earning a scowl from the older male.
"T-The kiss isn't working.." Sora panted out. Riku looked Sora over. "I guess it will only work if you love me too."
Sora shot a look at Riku. "You have been my best friend since we were little, I love you as a friend."
Riku groaned and looked away. "That is definitely something I want to hear..."
"Riku..."
"No.. it's fine. I guess this won't work then." Before Sora could say another word, Riku had practically dropped Sora back into the water, earning a yell from the boy. Sora came back to the surface spitting out water. "R-Riku!" He yelled, looking up at Riku, who was standing with his hands clenched.
"Sorry to have made this awkward... I will talk with Kairi, see if there is another solution. In the meantime, you will have to stay in that form. I'll have Donald bring you some food."
Before Sora could even speak, Riku had bolted out of the cave.
"Riku..." Sora looked down at the water as he slipped underneath the surface, his chest burning as if he was on fire. Sora clenched his hands against his chest as he curled up under the water, his fins glidin against his face as he cried; the confusing emotions becoming too much for him.
