_ The Story _
"Hey, Riku?" a timid voice called out in the dark room.
"Yeah?"
"What do you desire?"
What would have made most people shocked at being asked such a lecherous question only made Riku glance swiftly over at Sora.
"I think," he began slowly, "that it is a human's desire to want suffering. But to want it combined with such an emotion that it would make us deliriously happy to be so miserable."
The brunette sat up to get a better view of his best friend. Sora smiled slightly. It never stopped to amaze him how absolutely stunning the silver haired teen could be without even trying.
"However," a husky voice cut through his thoughts, "I desire only happiness. And, really, with you, it's all I've found."
Riku's narrow eyes gazed intently at his lover making Sora squirm even with the giant grin adorning his face.
"I love you too...Mr. Mushy!"
The sound of playful growling and laughter made its way to the ears of all the occupants in the basement. It only served to make them smile.
There will be times; by God will there be times, when it feels like you're looking at something bigger than anything you have ever even dreamed of seeing. And there's nothing you can do to stop it.

The soft pattering of rain filled the small child's ears, his mind, his body as he rested quietly on the hard pavement in front of his new home.
"Hello, I'm Riku."
Another child's voice disrupted his concentration on the rain. The five year old opened his eyes a bit to glance at the other boy. His eyes widened instinctively as he gazed at what surely must be art come to life. The other boy's silver hair gleamed brilliantly in the afternoon sun, and his aquamarine eyes reminded him of the ocean.
The brunette looked on for a moment before he rolled over and giggled. Standing up, he found that he barely reached Riku's shoulder.
"Hi! I'm Sora!" The boy replied with a large grin.
The child raised a single eyebrow, peering into Sora's eyes, his own flickering slightly, before he smiled.
"Friends?"
"Of course!" Sora replied with conviction.
He makes me feel like I don't need the rain. Like everything is sunshine. And, really, with him, it might as well be.

"So I hear that you're tired of hearing only snippets of those two's lives." It wasn't a question but more of a statement.
He answered anyway. "Yes. I need to know everything if I am to figure this out."
Sephiroth smirked. "Well then, I hope you aren't busy for quite a long time."
Cloud raised an eyebrow. "How long?"
"As long as it takes to fill up fifteen years worth of memories."
