Title: Paopu Tree (=o_o= part two, also known as the last part)
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Pairings: little tiny bit Kairi/Sora, Somewhat Riku/Sora. =o_o;;; all somewhat subtle-ish
Status: First Draft. But slightly updated *point to title part*
Warnings: =o_o= obviously this has some vague boy x boy leanings, uh, don't tell me it's weird in the reviews, I already know…
Disclaimer: THESE CHARA ARE BELONG TO SQUARE AND DISNEY~! =o_o= Disney needs to let them people in Japan make doujin…
Descriptions/Short Rant: The second of this (probably) two part story thingish thing that I've written. I am hoping that the charas are not so OOC that it isn't possible that they might feel whatever it is I write them feeling. XD;;; uh, please know now that I'm not a writer, I'm more of an artist, so my grammar is not the best…. Well! After being told the story Sora will naturally be curious about the paopu fruit. What does it taste like? XB;; We'll see. GAH! THEY ARE SO CUTE.
---------------
The sun was too bright and he could have sworn he that he saw things moving in the corner of his eyes. "Alright, just be calm. No one's around to see you," he told himself. Ignoring his nerves, Sora climbed farther up the tree, using the great palmy leaves as a shield. Checking once again to make sure no one was watching he reached hesitantly for the star shaped fruit.
"Hey, Sora!"
He jumped and lost balance. Wind-milling his arms wildly, Sora finally managed to stop wobbling and clutched onto the tree like it was a lifeline. "R..Riku..How did you get down there?" he asked, wide eyed, and wondered how he could have missed such an obvious thing.
The boy swimming below the tree laughed. "I jumped in the water and swam. You weren't doing a very good job of hiding you know." He looked up and gave his friend an amused expression.
Sora
blushed. "I wasn't hiding, what gave you that idea?"
"Well before you climbed
up the tree you got this really shifty look, like this," and he proceeded
to imitate Sora, looking side to side, as if checking for people.
"You liar! I never did that!"
Riku rolled back in the water, chuckling, and received a paopu to the head. "Ow! Oh, is that for me?" He retrieved it from the water. "You could have just handed it to me." he teased.
"Wha--? No! Riikuu!" The boy in the tree cried out, obviously distressed. He had instinctively grabbed whatever was near him to throw at his friend. "That wasn't for you. Give it back!"
Riku frowned at the paopu thoughtfully before grinning up at Sora. He swam farther out in the blue water, dangling the fruit by its leaf. "You want it? Come and get it."
"What? Is that a challenge?" Sora dived from the tree into the ocean. It didn't take him long to adjust to the warm water and he quickly set off in pursuit of his friend. "I'm warning you Riku! Give it back." Sora gained on Riku, easily speeding though the water.
"Or else what?" Riku's feet hit the ground beneath the water and he changed to running, intending to get onto the beach where he was faster than Sora.
He had almost gotten to the shore when a pair of hands grabbed onto him from behind. "Oof!" Sora's momentum caused them both to tumble back into the shallows with a splash. They rolled around in the water, Riku trying to keep the paopu fruit out of Sora's reach and Sora trying to grab it. Spinning away, Riku clambered up, only to have Sora pull his legs out from beneath him and somehow managing pin him under the water. Riku pretended struggled for a moment before waving the paopu above the water and letting Sora take it. Seizing the fruit, Sora released his hold on Riku's shoulders.
"Augh!" He came up gasping for air, chest heaving and hair stuck to his face and neck. "Jeez Sora, I almost drowned!" He pushed the hair out of his face and feigned a glare.
"I'm sorry…" Sora struggled between looking victorious about the fruit and regretful about shoving his friend under water.
"Heh, don't worry about it, I could have gotten away whenever I wanted." He smirked.
"Could not, you're just a sore loser."
A grin. "Care to say that again?" Riku started at Sora, who flinched away, but then thought better of it and walked to shore. He proceeded to flop over onto the beach and look up into the clear sky that was reflected in the water. The sand was warm against his bare back and he let his eyes slide shut. Sora followed after the pale boy and sat facing the ocean, letting the warm sun dry off his cloths.
"….. So who are you going to share it with?" Riku asked casually.
"Uhm, share it?" Sora glanced away sheepishly, "Actually I just wanted to know what it tasted like..."
Riku leaned onto his elbows, taking a moment to think before saying, "It's kind of bittersweet... Maybe it's sweeter if you share it with someone."
In the distance a light voice was calling their names. Sora turned to see Kairi running up to them, waving and smiling. "Sora! There you are!" Sora got up and ran to greet her, paopu fruit lying forgotten in the sand.
Picking it up and tucking it in a pocket, Riku went to join them.
"…Kind of like love, right?"
~FIN!~
---------------
XD;; Ahaha, love me or hate me or tell me to write more….
*resist urge to make Riku take the fruit and bite off a piece and then kiss Sora saying, "it tastes like love, it's much sweeter when you share it…"* =@0@;;;; I'm meeelting *has a coughing fit* =o_o= okay, originally I didn't wanna use the word love, seeing as I feel Riku doesn't realize it quite yet… but replacing it is awkward and kills the affect… uuuuh, maybe that phrase is being said by someone else? YOU DECIDE!
Actually, this was just an excuse to use that line and to have them tumble around together, muhuhuha… eh..
=o_o= okay, someone said in the reviews that Riku obviously had stronger feelings for Kairi than Sora. XB;; I just wanna express that if I believed that then I would have included something that makes Riku's affections transfer to Sora. BUT!! Obviously I believe Riku liked Sora from the start…er, why?? =@_@;; well, we all have our own interpretations right? Maybe in some other writings (if I do more) I shall explain this point of view…. (in an overdramatic and angsty way….)
10/8/02 - =o_o;; sorry, it seems I've accidentally lead people on. No no, there won't be more to this little fic.
