"Sora, wait!" Riku grabbed his wrist once again. The dream eaters had long since teleported themselves away to give the two their much need privacy. "What do you think of me?"

Though the question surprised even the asker, Sora turned around and looked at Riku lovingly, his eyes glittering but still sad. "Riku, you're my best friend," Riku lowered his head in defeat but Sora continued, "But there's this weird feeling I get inside that I don't get from Kairi or Mickey or... anybody. I still don't completely understand it myself, but I like you so much, it hurts. Isn't there something more than 'best friends' that two people can share?" The last question was pretty rhetorical because Sora already knew the answer, but he knew how others looked at it.

By now, Riku's face was all but entirely sanguine with blush. His eyes widened in astonishment at Sora. The part inside him that told him that his feelings for Sora were wrong, the ones who blamed it on Riku's darkness, said that it was just because Sora fell into the darkness for a time. That's how Riku knew that it lied to him, for Sora had told him that he'd been having this dream every night for like, a week and a half. This was way before Sora even touched darkness.

Riku suddenly found himself crying. He didn't know why, but maybe it was the sudden rush of emotions. His shoulders trembled, "Sora..." he whispered. His voice shook terribly as well. He pulled the shorter boy into a soft hug, much different from the hug they had shared when they woke up from Sora's dreams.

"What is it Riku?" Sora asked, forgetting the earlier quarrel in his concern. He'd never seen Riku cry before, and he was sure that if you ever asked anyone else, they hadn't seen it either. The one with the iron will was sobbing right in front of him... in his arms.

"I'm so overwhelmed with happiness right now, Sora. I just..." Riku trailed off. He knew what he had to do next, he just had to work up the courage.

"Sora?" Riku asked now.

"Hmm?" the mentioned hummed his response, "What is it, Riku?" He was petting the silverette's hair to try and soothe him.

"Would you like to know what you're dream was missing?" and just like several times earlier that day, Sora blushed, hard. He didn't trust his voice, so he slightly nodded his head to show Riku about his curiosity.

Riku complied, wrapping one of his muscular arms around Sora's thin waist, bringing his body close to his own. With his free hand, he took Sora's chin and tilted it up to look him in the eye.

"Ready?" Riku asked cooly, trying not to waver. At Sora's very slight nod, he brought his lips downs to the brunette's mouth.

Sora could only open his eyes wider and stare at Riku, who had closed his eyes before the oral contact. He was so paralyzed at how amazing the sensation was. Riku's lips were so soft, it was just so shicking. He began to relax and eventually let his eyelids sink down so he could focus more on how the sensation reacted with his other senses.

Unfortunately, the need for oxygen has ended their kiss almost as soon as it had truly started for Sora. The kiss wasn't much of mingling after all, it had only been a strong pressing of the lips.

So they both pulled back, totally winded. Riku had looked over at Sora and blushed, slamming his hand over his mouth as he had realized what he did. Sora looked lustily at Riku, with a half-lidded gaze that made him appear very drunk.

"That was..." Sora lowered his gaze a little and lightly touched his lips, as if he was checking to see if they were still there. "Wow..." What a large vocabulary he had...

"Wait," Riku smirked, pride suddenly masking his surprise. "That was your first kiss?" Sora looked quite embarrassed and lowered his head.

"I've been so busy trying to rescue Destiny Islands and find you that I've had no time for romance," stated Sora simply.

"Sora," said Riku with a chuckle, "I'm a big boy. I can take care of myself. You don't have to come find me every time I get lost."

"I know," Sora replied looking Riku in his toxic green eyes again, "But isn't it instinctive to want to be able to protect someone you care about?" Riku thought for a moment, realized that statement true. "Besides, I don't know what I would do if I lost you..."

By now, Riku was on the verge of youched tears again. Why was he getting so emotional? Were Sora's words really tugging on his heart strings that hard?

"What about Kairi?" he managed to choke out through his stupor.

"Of course I care about her, but you and I both know she just washed up on the shore of Destiny Islands one day when we were young." said Sora. Riku was about to ask what that had to do with it but Sora continued, "You and I- we go back way farther than that.

"And besides," he said, "How excited did I seem when I saw Kairi in comparison to when I saw you at the World That Never Was? I may've given Kairi a hug, but when I saw you, I cried I was so happy." Riku was starting to get flustered.

Somewhere in his brain, he didn't think Sora really felt the same way he did, but he didn't quite know why. Sora could see this.

"I also know that Roxas kind of had a thing for Axel, and you're probably wondering if I do too since Roxas and I became one again." Riku blushed. He had been wondering just that. How could Sora read him so well? Was it really that obvious?

"We may've become one again, but, Riku... I'm not Roxas..." Sora continued to inch closer to Riku. He took the hint.

"Okay, okay." Riku said and grabbed Sora's hand, "I get it already." He chuckled nervously. He wasn't trying to, but he wanted it to seem like he was acting natural and he was trying to shove a lot down right now!

"Oh, I don't think you do," retorted Sora, who stood up on his tip-toes and pecked Riku on the lips, startling the taller teen so much that he stumbled backwards and toppled over, bringing the younger teen with him to the ground.

Ironically, Sora ended up hovering over Riku. Well wasn't he just full of surprises today? Almost becoming another Xehanort, having pervy dreams about Riku, and then hovering over mentioned boy after giving him a surprise kiss on the mouth?! Sora was definitely getting bold...

Now, Sora hadn't meant to push Riku down, but the position they were currently sitting in was getting a little too... exciting for Sora. He quickly stood up and began to help Riku. "A-are you okay?" he stuttered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push you down." Riku raised an eyebrow at the shorter male, not buying it at all. He smirked.

"Come with me," said Riku with a devilish grin and grabbed Sora's hand, leading him towards the Third District. Sora followed the other willingly.
