Summary: Sequel to Latte Boy. Riku's mannerisms happen to catch the attention of another at the new smoothie shop that opened down the street. And Lea's not too happy about it. Mainly LeaKu and slight Terriku.

A.N.: Like I promised, the first chapter is here of the sequel of "Latte Boy". Join Lea and Riku (and freakin' Terra) in another awkward love adventure!

Lea was nervous as he was preparing an iced vanilla latte with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle on top.

He bit his lip as his fingers were twitching and palms sweating despite the cool of the plastic cup he was holding. He swirled the drink with quick rotations of his hand, reaching for something in the back of his pocket.

Lea could hear the happy laughter of his boyfriend conversing with his best friend. Whatever they were talking about had Riku laughing louder than usual. Lea slipped the item from his back pocket and was about to drop it in the drink.

"Shame, shame. Putting drugs in your boyfriend's drink because you're jealous of his ex-boyfriend."

Lea jumped and twirled around with an indignant look on his face. "Naminé! What are you doing here?" he laughed nervously, hiding the object behind his back.

"I work here with you!" Naminé hissed. "I work here to make sure you don't put unknown things in people's drinks."

"You act as if I do this all the time," Lea whined.

"You probably do. This is just the first time I caught you in the act."

Lea's hands shot out from behind his back, waving them in denial. "No way do I do that! Slipping drugs..." he hissed out.

"So what's that in your hand?"

Realizing that he accidentally had shown Naminé the small object he was going to put in Riku's drink, he quickly hid it behind his back in embarrassment. Lea's foot tapped on the floor nervously as Naminé's smirk grew wider. "Shut up, okay?" he muttered with furrowed eyebrows.

"I won't say a peep," Naminé giggled as she walked away to perform some duties. Lea sighed, exasperated that he was teased about what he was going to do.

"Here goes nothing," Lea huffed out confidently, dropping the small object into the drink with a plop. He gathered the two drinks in his hands, one a vanilla latte and the other one a caramel macchiato. He set it in front of the pair of best friends, smiling at the two of them. "Here's your drinks," he announced.

"Thanks, Lea." Lea blushed as his silver haired boyfriend flashed him a smile, melting on the spot. His lips twitched into a smile nervously as all he could do was bow and go back to his station behind the register.

Green eyes stared intently at the silverette as he treated the consumption of his coffee like a ritual. He swirled the straw within the beverage absentmindedly, listening to his best friend talk with a silly grin on his face. Then his lips dipped to drink some of the sweet contents, his eyes lighting up brighter than usual. Riku's eyes glimpsed at Lea for a second as he waved at the staring male.

Lea gulped as he nervously flitted his fingers back in response, pretending to stare at something else when he turned his head away from the male. However, he was sneaky enough to still see Riku through his peripheral vision. He secretly watched as the rest of the contents were drunk, the male now grabbing his straw to scoop up the leftover whipped cream.

Scoop.

He sipped, conversed with Sora, and went back to sipping some more. Laughter was heard in between drinking the rest of his iced latte and the most ridiculous of conversations only best friends would have.

Scoop.

A confused look passes Riku's face as he picked up something round on the end of his straw. Lea's eyes quickly darted away, scared to see how the male would react afterward. The redhead closed his eyes tightly, hoping for the best as he heard a small reactive gasp from Sora.

Lea gnawed on his lip, apprehensive of the results of his actions. He eventually received a poke on his shoulder, turning around with a confused look.

"Riku," he murmured, trying to keep his cool. His elbows rested on the counter as he leaned over with the calmest smile he could muster. "What's up?"

"Uh, I think Naminé dropped this in my drink accidentally when she was making it," Riku explained with a chuckle. His closed fist extended his fingers and in his palm laid the object Lea dropped into his iced latte. "Her jewelry perhaps?"

The redhead silently stared at the silver ring in Riku's palm, his face feeling hot. Of course Riku would think it belonged to a girl at first sight. It was just Lea's luck. He gathered enough courage to glance into his crystal eyes as his lips curved in the slightest. "It's, it's not hers. It's yours."

Silence overcame the silverette. Lea waited as Riku finally let the news hit him. Riku's smile broke as his mouth opened into a small surprised circle. His hand darted for a napkin, wiping the sticky liquid from the ring until it was back to its shiny state once more. "But, but this is a diamond," Riku stuttered embarrassedly, sliding it along his ring finger. He inhaled sharply when he realized it perfectly fit around his digit. He looked briefly at Lea, blushing as he murmured, "A-and it fits. As if it were mine."

Lea scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed smile. "Yeah, I was a little sneaky about it."

"Lea, what are you trying to say?"

"Well, you know," Lea replied sheepishly, unable to say a sentence when Riku was staring straight at him. "Y-you know what I'm trying to say, 'Ku."

"I have an idea," Riku said with a grin. "But, I would like to hear you say it."

With much twiddling of his fingers, Lea shyly shifted his eyes to the side. "W-well..." Riku's smile beamed when he hummed as a sign of encouragement for the redhead to continue speaking. "I think we should...take it to the next level of commitment."

"Lea, can you come over here?"

Lea chewed the inside of his cheek. He hoisted himself onto the counter and to the other side. He stood in front of Riku, who suddenly threw his arms around his neck and into an embrace. "Gosh...I accept," Riku whispered happily.

Lea's face flushed with embarrassment when he noticed Sora grinning at them from the table. The little runt must know what the big news is; nonetheless, he smiled proudly and was definitely happy for the two of them. Lea smiled as he heard Riku's blissful sigh.

Yes, this was going to be the start of a new level in their relationship.
