Sora had to hold back a snort of surprise by the time Riku finally arrived at their designated meeting spot in Radiant Garden, clothes disheveled and sporting a rather nauseous expression on his face. "Dude, what happened?"

"A mob of poison Heartless, that's what." Riku breathed out, giving the direction he came from a withering glare. "You have a Panacea to spare?"

Sora immediately started digging through his pockets, pulling out nothing but empty vials as he did. "Shit, I don't."

"I'll just wait for the poison to wear off then," Riku said, slumping against the wall behind them.

Sora hummed thoughtfully. "Maybe you won't have to." Before Riku had the chance ask just what he meant by that, Sora brought his hands up to cup Riku's jaw, pulling his face down to kiss him on the lips.

Riku looked a lot less ill by the time Sora pulled away and was blinking dazedly at him, cheeks that were pale just moments ago now a healthy shade of pink. "Oh."

"Something I learned at the Dwarf Woodlands," Sora said, smiling. He kissed Riku again, because kissing Riku was always something he liked to do, curing poison or not, and tangled their hands together. "C'mon, we don't want to keep Restoration Committee waiting."
