Hidden love

It was early in the morning. The teenaged brunette sat out on the dock, watching the pink sun rise in the morning. He picked at a blade of grass, getting small ammounts of dew on his fingers. The sun was fully risen into the sky now, and golden light shot at his royal blue eyes. He squinted, blinking at the sky. Gloved hand whiped the sleep from his eyes. He yawned, laying his back on the grass and crossing his hands behind his head. He closed his eyes, thoughts swirling in his head.

"Hey, Sora! It's morning!" Called a familiar voice. Sora looked up, only to see the silver-haired teen walking up the dock to him. He smiled, watching his every move. "Konnichi-wa, Riku-Sama.." He called in his cheery voice. The silver-haired teen sat down beside the brunette, grinning. "Hey Sora- Kun.."

A yawn was heard right behind them. They both turned only to see a sleepy eyed red head sitting behind them. "Konnichi-wa Sempai.." She called to Riku, then looked to Sora. "Hey monkey."

Sora pouted. "Monkey?..."

Kairi giggled, "Anyways, what are you all doing up so.. early?" She stopped, yawning again.

Riku grinned. "It's not early, it's 8:00. You just get too much 'beauty sleep', what is it with girls and sleeping?" He laughed, laying down beside Sora.

Sora chuckled, laying down beside Riku, crossing his arms under his head. "I don't know..."

Kairi stuck their tongue out at the both of them, "Shut up.." She shook her head, walking over the two and to the tree. "I need it.. it makes me prettier.."

"Prettier?" Questioned Riku with a smirk. "Suure..."

"What's THAT suppose to mean?" Called Kairi, who was now sitting on the tree.

"Nothing..." Mumbled Riku under his arm.

Sora simply smiled, watching the two.

----

Later on, Kairi was outside by the dock, dangling her feet. Sora walked up behind her, placing his gloved palms on her shoulders. "Kairi," He said calmly, "What are you doing..?"

Startled, she turned, seeing Sora. "Nothing, just thinking.."

"About...?" Said Sora, curiously.

"...promise not to tell Riku?"

Sora nodded.

"Okay.. well, I sort of.. have a crush on him. Should I tell him...?" She looked at Sora, a puzzled look on her face.

Sora's heart melted. Riku was his, but he wasn't about to tell her that. He simply shrugged. "I don't know.. I've never been in a situation like that." -'Much...' He said to himself in his head.

She frowned, "Yeah, but you usually know what to do.."

Sora's eyes flared. "Well, I don't."

She cocked a brow. "What got into you Sora? You seem mad.."

He crossed his arms, pouting. "I'm not."

"Liar." Called Kairi, giggling.

His eyes narrowed and he stood up. "Why would I be mad? I'm a guy, Riku's a guy. I'm not gay!" He called, storming off in the other direction. He knew what he just said was a lie.

Riku sighed, sitting on 'his' tree. He watched the fish swim around in the water. Sora walked up, arms crossed. "What's wrong Sora-Chan?" Called Riku.

"Nothing." Said Sora, sitting beside Riku.

He shook his head, swinging an arm over Sora. "Tell...?"

Sora sighed. "No."

"Why...?" He cocked a brow.

"Personal." Said Sora flatly.

Riku shrugged, removing his arm from his shoulder. "Alright,"

Sora sighed, laying back on Riku. He looked up at the sky, where the sun was settign slowly. Riku watched the sun aswell, sea-green eyes sparkling.

"Riku," Sora said, looking up at him.

"Hmm..?" Said Riku, looking down at the brunette.

"...this is just a random question but...."

"Go on," Said Riku. "I'm listening.."

"... what would you do if you had a friend, that liked the same person you did, and you didn't tell.. it?"

Riku chuckled. "Well that depends, would I want to tell.. it?" He blinked.

Sora shook his head quickly.

"Well.." He started, "I guess I woulden't do anything, and let the person I liked choose.."

Sora nodded, listening to every word carefully. He sighed, closing his eyes. "Thanks,"

Riku nodded. "No prob."

----

When Sora awoke, he found his head on Riku's chest. He didn't move, just watched the sleeping Riku. He smiled. "I wonder if he knows.." He whispered to himself, eyes shining in the morning light. "..and I wonder if he feels the same way..."

Riku groaned, opening his beautiful sea-green eyes. He squinted, taking in the sunlight. Blinking, he looked to Sora. "Hey..." he said in a sleepy voice.

Sora smiled. "Mornin' Riku-Sama.. Sleep well?"

He nodded, scratching his head with his gloved hand. "Yep..."

"Good." Replied Sora, sitting up.

Kairi's voice echoed down the dock. "Hey, sleepy bum's! Get up!"

Riku and Sora both looked back at her, smiling. She usually woke them up like that on week-ends. She had a big bowl in her hand, and three forks stuck out of it. "Breakfast.." She called, walking down the dock to the boys.

"Thanks," Said Riku, sitting up.

Sora smiled, nodding. "Yeah, thanks. Smells good ^^;"

Kairi placed the bowl down in front of the two and removed a fork. "Eggs. Eat up!" She stuck her fork into the bowl again, coming out with eggs and putting them in her moth.

Riku and Sora both did the same, eating happily and quietly.

----

In the middle of the afternoon, Sora and Riku were doing their daily race. They ran up the hill, to the star tree, and back to the docks. After doing that about three times, they stopped for a breather. "Whoo," said Sora. "That was a good race..."

Riku nodded. "Yeah, I think we broke our record.."

Sora sat down on the ground, followed by Riku. Sora looked into Riku's big, green eyes, getting lost in a dreamworld of his own.

"Hey, Sora..?" Called Riku, "You awake..?"

"Huh? oh.." Said Sora, blinking away the dream. "Uh, yeah.. Riku..?"

"Hmm?" Said Riku, fiddling with his gloves.

"If I tell you something.. promise to stay friends, always..?"

Riku nodded. "Of course, best friends 'till the end.." Explained Riku.

Sora smiled, letting out a sigh of relief. "Alright.. Well, you see.. Remember what I told you yesterday..?"

Riku blinked. "About the people liking the same person?"

Sora nodded, "Yeah, that.. Well.. that person.. is you. And the people who like you are.. Kairi and.." He looked away, whispering his answer. "Me..."

Riku blinked, peering over his hands at him. "You mean..."

Sora nodded, blushing lightly.

"Sora, I..."

"I know," Interupted Sora. "You don't feel the same way.. I should've known.."

Riku grinned, turning Sora's head with his finger to look at him. "Uh, wrong again Sora-Chan.."

Sora just stared at Riku. 'This has to be a dream..' He thought to himself, 'Riku would never love me.. would he?'

Riku smiled. "Sora, I.. I love you, ok? I did for the longest time.. I was just.. too scared to tell you.." He looked down, putting his hand back on his lap.

Sora blinked, "..Same here, Riku. I loved you since.. forever!"

As Sora said that, Riku looked back up, grabbed Sora's face gently, and kissed him. Not on the cheek, on the lips. The kiss was long and fiery. It seemed to last forever.. Sora was a little suprised at first, but now he was just enjoying it, kissing him back softly.

Riku pulled back to take a breath, and Sora lunged at him. This was unlike him to be agressive, so Riku was a little suprised himself. ..but, he ontinued kissing the brunette, as deeply as he could.

----

Sora's eyes opened, only to find himself in his own bed. He blinked, rubbing his eyes. "Hmm..?" He scanned the room. He then sighed, realising it was all just a dream...
