Together Forever
Riku strolled slowly along the beach with Sora dancing around him in glee.
"What are you so happy about? You just failed the test to be a true keyblade master,"
asked Riku, staring at his way-too-much-energy best friend.
"So what? there's always next time," Sora said, waving the blunt comment aside, "What's more important now is that you passed! Congratulations!" He then jumped onto Riku and hugged him a second time since they came back.
Riku blushed slightly with Sora's small body flushed against his, "Thanks." And squeezed back a little while admiring how selfless his best friend was in his head.
Silence stretched out as Sora kept his arms wrapped tightly around Riku's neck, his face buried into Riku's chest, and his body pressed firmly against his taller friend.
Riku felt his cheeks getting even hotter and his heart started fluttering. He had slowly become aware that he was attracted to the cute brunette ever since Sora rescued him from the darkness and sacrificed a lot to bring him back home.
He was grateful, ashamed, relieved, and a whole array of many other emotions when he came back.
Throughout the entire time he was back on the island, he worked on trying to get a grip on his emotions and tried to figure out what sort of person he really was, and Sora was there helping and guiding him every step of the way.
Sora burst into his room uninvited nearly everyday to drag him out, always mentioning he's not going to discover himself locked up in his room the whole time. Spending time with Sora and sometimes Kairi outside slowly wiped out Riku's negative emotions and he started to smile and laugh more often.
Spending time with Sora was what cheered up and healed Riku the most,having long talks about what they did in the other worlds, what they did together before the left, what they should do in the future, poking fun at each other, spending time sitting together in comfortable silence and more.
Before long, Riku started noticing more things about Sora, like how long his eyelashes were, how wonderfully blue his eyes were, how soft his lips looked...These thought freaked him out at first, but he accepted them soon enough. It made sense after all, his best friend was everything to him, when Riku left, Sora went after him, went through dangerous events and adventures, saved him from from his darkness, and brought them both home. It would be a wonder if he didn't fall in love with Sora.
But Riku knew his love was hopeless seeing as Sora was in love with Kairi and the fact that Riku was the same sex. He decided that he would never reveal his feelings to Sora and would do his best to support and make the brunette as happy as possible, as well as to attempt to find out what sort of person he actually is.
"Uh, Sora? Mind if you let go now?" asked Riku as he grasped Sora's arms and attempted to gently pry them off, hoping Sora couldn't hear his rapidly beating heart.
However Sora only squeezed harder, pushing, if possible, even closer into Riku's body.
"No! We haven't seen each other in ages! I missed you,"
Sora glanced up, tear filled sky-blue eyes locking onto emerald green ones.
Riku was suddenly flooded with the fact that they hadn't seen each other in months during their separation in the exam as Sora stared up at him with an adorable and slightly watery I-really-really-missed-you face.
Riku's arms twitched forward, abandoning his attempt to remove Sora's arms,but stopped just before his impulse to scoop the boy up into his arms and bury his face in his outrageously spiky hair succeeded.
"I-I really missed you too," Riku managed to croak out, using all his might to hold himself in check. He gingerly patted Sora's back while repeating a mantra in his head 'I'm his best friend, I'm his best friend, I'm his best friend-'
"R...Riku, I have something to tell you," Sora said suddenly in a nervous voice, he loosened his hold on Riku and took a step back, his hands rested on Riku's broad shoulders.
"I-" Sora started, then stopped. The brunettes cheeks were slowly turning pink and his hands were clenching and unclenching on Riku's shoulders.
After a small pause, Sora finally looked up, blue eyes locking with green. His face was flushed red but determined.
"Riku, ever since I began searching for you, " Sora said with a slight tremble in his voice, "I'd started to realize that I care about you...more than I should for a best friend."
'I'm his best friend, I'm his best friend, I'm his best-Wuh?' Riku's train of thought abruptly started to slow. Was he hearing what thought he was hearing?
"I-I mean, there would be times where I'd think of you and I would KEEP thinking about you.
And when I finally found you...I was overjoyed...I was way more happier than I was when I found Kairi," Sora continued, "And when we finally went home, I knew."
"...K-knew what?" Riku stuttered out, hardly beleiving what he was hearing. His body was frozed rigid and his heart was thumping erratically.
"I knew...that I loved you," Sora said softly as his face glowing red but still retaining eye contact, "And I think I've always had, I just didn't realize it till then."
Riku stared at Sora, unmoving. His brain process officially stopped at the words 'I love you' that came out of the younger boys mouth.
"R-riku?" Sora said, the boy's heart started to crumble as his best friend continued to act like a statue.
Riku still hadn't moved, Sora wasn't in love with Kairi? Instead, Sora was in love with...
His mind just couldn't process such an impossibility.
"I-I guess I shouldn't have said it," mumbled Sora, breaking eye contact and pulled his hands away. His big sky-blue eyes slowly filled up with tears. "I'm sorry Riku."
Tears threatened to cascade down the boy's face as he started to turn, planning to run off as fast as possible away from the immobile Riku.
Riku was suddenly reanimated as what Sora said last penetrated his brain finally, He lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Sora and buried his face on the crook of the boys neck. And mouthed against his skin,
"I love you too, don't leave."
Then Riku crushed his lips over Sora's, kissing the brunette furiously and passionately on the off chance that this was just a wondeful dream and that he was going to wake up any minuite. All the yearning and love he's had for years finally flowed out into this one kiss.
"Mmm! Nnn-mmm...R-Ri-!" Riku took that oppurtunity to thrust his tongue in and ravished Sora's entire mouth.
"Nnnngg! Mmmph! Nnmm...mmm..." moaned Sora as Riku's tongue slid all over the insides of his mouth, tasting every inch of it. Overwhelmed by the passion Riku was putting into the kiss and seemingly lost the ability to breathe, Sora's knees started to buckle.
Feeling Sora's body starting to go limp in his arms, Riku snapped out of it and quickly drew his head back. "Sora! Are you alright?"
"Gasp...huff..." Sora quickly tried to replenish oxygen to his lungs. " I'm fine!Haa..."
"I-I'm so sorry, it's just that I've wanted to do that for so long. I kept thinking that this is just a dream and-" Warm hands suddenly shot up, interrupting Riku's panicked babbling, grabbed both sides of his face, and pulled his head in for a soft, sweet kiss.
"It's not a dream," Sora whispered over Riku's mouth, then his broke into a sun-kissed breath-taking smile.
Riku pulled Sora back into another long but gentle kiss. His lips lovingly kneading the brunettes small pink lips, his tongue sliding out slightly every now and then to have a quick taste of the insides of Sora's mouth. Riku buried one of his hands into Sora's surprisingly soft hair, keeping the younger ones head in place, while his other hand pressed firmly against Sora's back, fingers slowly drawing circles along the brunettes spine.
After a while, they slowly seperated again and just looked at each other arms were still wrapped around each other, refusing to let go just yet.
"Sora," Riku finally spoke, "I-I don't know how to say this but, I love you and I always will love you. There's no one else for me but you. Will you always be with me?"
Sora blushed, then gave Riku another heart-stopping smile, "Of course Riku, we'll always be together, forever."
Riku gave Sora a breath-taking smile of his own,
"Yeah, together forever."
And leaned in to kiss his lover once again.
Well, this is my first story ever posted online. I didn't even realize I had an account here until I tried to sign up O_o.
There may be a chapter 2 depending if I feel like writing it or not. I was actually going to try writing an M rated story at first but heck, this is my first story, might as well keep it simpler and go for a T rating. The possible chapter 2 is probably going to turn this story's rating to an M. Or I'll just write an M rated new story, whatever float my boat =D
Anyways, please tell me what you people think. Thanks for reading.
