Sora didn't bother to close the door behind him, and simply collapsed on his bed. His head hit the pillow and he couldn't move even if he wanted to. After everything with Xemnas and Riku, and all the other things that hurt his brain just thinking about, he was glad to be home. He was back on Destiny Islands, back in his house, back in his room, and it felt surreal.
He faintly heard the sound of a door opening and closing, but he still didn't move. It wasn't until Sora heard his mother's voice that he sat up.
"Sora?" she called uncertainly.
He rushed downstairs with a giant grin on his face and threw his arms around the brunette woman standing in the kitchen. She hugged him back tightly, and he could feel her face pressed into his spiky hair.
"You're really back! I almost couldn't believe it when Kairi told me!" she said. Her breath was warm on his scalp, and he felt more safe and secure than he had in a long time.
She pulled away from him and looked at his face with tears in her eyes. After a couple of affectionate seconds, something in her seemed to snap. Apparently they had remembered at the same time how Sora had suddenly left one night, only to appear over a year later.
Her smiling face grew serious and dark, a look that only a select number people in the universe had seen. He decided at that moment that he would rather face a thousand Nobodies again than see that look.
"Do you have any idea how extremely worried I was?" she said carefully, the calm before the storm. "When my fourteen year old son goes disappearing, at night, in the middle of a storm? Do you understand how horrible it was, not knowing what had happened? If you had been killed, or kidnapped, or some other terrible event had happened? But apparently none of that happened! Because you come waltzing in here like nothing had happened! I don't even hear that you're back from you! I hear it from your girlfriend, while you're sitting around at home!"
She huffed and took several deep breaths in order to calm herself down. She smiled slightly at Sora, and said, "Love you, sweetheart."
Sora started thinking that she resembled the two-faced mayor from Halloween Town. She kept smiling at him for a bit more and ran her fingers through his hair. This would be comforting, if it weren't for the lingering terror.
The doorbell rang and she rushed away to open it. On the other side of the door stood Kairi, Riku, and Riku's silver-haired mother. Sora's mother quickly invited them in and gave Riku a hug.
Riku's mother smiled at Sora sweetly, and quickly wrapped her arms around him. Despite how much he would miss Donald and Goofy, and how much he wouldn't appreciate explaining where he was to his mother, it was great to be home.
Author's Note: I'm making the call right now, Xehanort is not the father of either of them. Other than that, all I have to say is that feedback is appreciated.
