Star light, Star bright do I love you tonight?

The darkness was gradually pervading through the luminous sky, yet not thoroughly. Nevertheless, the sun appeared to be there, shining with all its glory. Yet, the glory would shortly come to a finish and Riku was over anticipated over this whole 'him meeting Sora at the beach'. Riku sighed and assembled himself near his window and watched as the sky began to glow with pinks and oranges as the sun evidently was going down. It was similar to Sora's, but Riku got a superior view of the ocean. Riku placed his chin in his hands that were propped up on apex of his knee and smiled. All his mind would focus on was Sora. He swept his hand through his damp hair. He had just taken a shower. A LONG shower to be exact. All Riku could imagine about was Sora, lathering soap all over his body and caressing all at the same time, while kissing him, tenderly.

He chuckled. Why was he receiving these little fantasies? First the ocean and now the showers? His previous lovers…well they by no means made him feel like this and Sora wasn't even his lover! Maybe it was because Riku only had women lovers. He shrugged that idea away. He doubted that.

He glanced over at the black clock on his wall and in neon numbers it read: 7:45. He rose and sauntered over toward his door. He didn't wish to be late to watch the sun wane from the sky…or was it that he desired to meet Sora again? Turning to his window, he acquired one final gaze at the ocean he would see in only a couple more minutes and headed out the door toward his boat to sail toward Destiny Islands.

"I can't believe that Selphie and Tidus are getting married!" squealed a reddish-brunette girl, her arm was hooked with Sora's and she smiled, sweetly at him. "Isn't that sweet?"

Sora sighed. He wished Kairi wouldn't hook her arm with his. It made him feel guilt that his feelings weren't for Kairi. He shook his head. No…it wasn't his fault that he didn't like her like that. Yet, it was partly his fault. If he just would tell her 'no' or something! He felt like he was leading Kairi on and it made him sick to even think that. He would never want to hurt her, but he just…didn't feel like that.

"Sora?" Kairi tilted her head, leaning it on his shoulder. "Did you hear anything I just said?"

Sora glanced down toward her. "Yeah…it's wonderful that Selphie and Tidus are getting married."

Kairi smiled and squeezed his arm tighter. "Yeah it is…"

Sora glanced away, as his insides twisted with sickness. Oh god…he wished that she would stop. He sighed. Only in about two minutes and they would arrive at the beach. He just prayed Riku actually came. Both of them turned the corner.

Yet, Riku did come. He assembled himself on the sand his legs arched up and his hands in between his legs, hanging loosely. His eyes glittered with contentment as he watched the sun and all its brilliance wane from the sky. Sora smiled at the image and stored it in his mind.

"Sora…you didn't tell me he was going to be here…" Kairi whispered with deathly bitterness. "Why do you hang out with him? Do you remember what he did to you?"

Sora unhooked his arm from hers and smiled, while strolling over toward Riku, brushing off Kairi's complaining. "Hey Riku!"

Riku turned his face to gaze at him. His jade eyes now glowed from the darkness that was seeping into the sky. "Hey Sora." Kairi huffed and marched over to situate herself next to Sora. "Hello to you too, Kairi…" Riku's eyes narrowed just a tad and then glanced over to Sora again.

Sora glanced toward each of his friends and sighed. This would be quite interesting. A soundless breeze passed the currently silent adults and tickled Sora's ears, making him giggle. It was an old habit of his and that was his ticklish spot. He couldn't help it!

Riku smiled when Sora laughed. It made everything seem more relaxing, unless you count the death glares from his ex-friend, which made it very appalling. He knew why she was glaring at him and he turned his face back to watch the miniature balls of light appear in the darkened sky, all of them twinkling in unison. His smile enlarged and he crossed his arms and sighed. "It's beautiful isn't it?"

Sora smiled and plopped down next to Riku, sitting Indian-style and gazing up at the stars with admiration. It was stunning alright and Sora was pleased that he was spending this precious moment with Riku. Something in the back of his mind said that this was all wrong, yet the other half said 'go and kiss him!'

Sora blinked when he felt warmth lean on his body. He looked to the side to see Kairi up all over him with a seducing look on her face. She licked her lips and began to climb up on him, letting her hands roam freely all over his body. "Sora…" she whispered in his ear.

Sora backed up, not liking this at all and stopped when he hit the side of Riku. He turned to look at Riku which had an angry glint in his eye as he watched Kairi make a move on Sora. Riku tensed and his fist, which was by his side, shook with blind fury. Sora gulped and turned back to Kairi which was kissing his neck.

Riku growled. It was sick how the bitch was playing Sora like this. She was trying to unnerve him to make him leave. Well it was working quite well in his opinion and he didn't want to see a massive make out scene from the two. He rose and turned to the flushed Sora that was blushing with embarrassment. He gazed away, his shoulders slumping. "I'm leaving Sora. It was nice spending time with you."

Sora gasped with dismay. Don't walk away! Please Riku don't go!

Riku began to turn away and stroll away from the sickening scene, his mind full of abhorrence for Kairi. The bitch would die in hell. She should!

Sora pushed Kairi off and growled. "What the hell was that for Kairi!"

Kairi put on her puppy dog face and shrugged. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Kairi you know full well of what you did!" Sora said with a hint of bitterness in his tone. "Good night Kairi!"

"Sora wait!" But it was too late; he made a mad dash to attempt to catch up to Riku. Her blood seethed. This was the day when Sora was supposed to make love to her. She planed it out thoroughly! Then THEY would get married and start a family and then she would have him all to herself. Only her! She huffed and angrily pranced away. Riku would pay.

He would surely pay…

Riku sighed. It was kind of cold to leave Sora like that, but he did NOT want to see them making out. It was too cruel. His heart twisted with sadness and regret. He wished Sora was his…yes now he knew of his true feelings, but did Sora feel the same way back toward him? He sighed. He wished life was just simple and clean. He chuckled out loud. If everything was simple and clean…well Sora would be making him feel simple and clean tonight. He was now laughing out loud. What a ridiculous fantasy! At least I can have a good laugh.

Yet his mind was depressed. He knew Sora didn't love him like that. There was no possible way…never in a million years! He would never feel simple and clean and well…he would always feel a pang of sadness when he would look at Sora from now on. It was a fruitless fantasy that he was wishing he was in. Sora…

"RIKU!" Riku turned when he heard his named called and saw a breathless Sora right behind him. He turned his lean body toward him and raised his brow. Part of his mind was happy that the chestnut-haired boy was here, but the other part was disheartened because he could never have him. Never…

"What's wrong Sora?" Riku asked as he watched the flushed boy gaze at him, still gasping for breath.

"I'm sorry Riku…I'm so sorry…" Sora apologized, grasping at his friends arm, as if to make sure Riku wouldn't dash away from him. "I'm sorry she acted that way…"

Riku shook his head and patted his friend's smooth shoulder. "It's okay Sora…" Riku replied with a worried tone in his voice.

Sora reclaimed his breath and sighed, happily. He was glad Riku wasn't mad at him. If he was mad at Kairi, he really didn't care right now. Not really…she was acting immature and there was no reason for it. "No…it's not Riku…" he regained his compositor and sighed again. "Is there anything I can do to make you not hate Kairi…or me?"

Love me Sora…

"I don't hate you Sora." Riku said with a chuckle. It was just the opposite. He grinned and punched Sora playfully. "How could I hate my best buddy, eh?"

Sora cracked a smile, but his eyes held a kind of melancholy in them as he gazed down at his shoes. Sora wished Riku asked him to…well…no…he would never ask that. That was simply out of the question and if he did…Kairi would find out then everyone else would and then it would be an enormous jumble. He sighed. If only life were simple and clean. If only Riku made Sora feel simple and clean.

Sora laughed on the inside. That would never happen! Never ever! Not in a million years!

Riku sighed and did the unthinkable. He pulled Sora to him in a constricted embrace. He felt Sora tense under his hold, but quickly give in and Sora wrapped his arms around him. Riku grinned to himself and yet his eyes were filled with shock. Sora was returning his feelings toward him. It was like a dream come true!

Sora sighed and a blush tented his cheeks. It felt so right being in Riku's arms. Yet…it felt so wrong too…now Sora perceived the feelings he had for Riku and all hell would break lose if everyone knew. He could envision it now. Everyone would scowl at Riku and him with disgust and never go near him or Riku again, but would that be so bad? He shrugged mentally. Yeah so people would think he was gross, but in his mind it was a beautiful thing. Who cares about what the others would think? It was just him and Riku together in a loving embrace or maybe even more…maybe after this would result in…

Riku grinned as he felt something poking his leg and pulled back glancing down. "Looks like someone is enjoying this, no?"

Sora gasped and looked down to see his length fully erected. His eyes widened and his blush went to light pink to now dark crimson. He turned away and let out a shaky sigh, gritting his teeth in the process. It was killing him. It hurt…so bad.

Sora turned at the sound of low chuckling and observed that Riku vanished. Where did he go? Sora made a full 360 degree turn and growled. Riku had him fully erected and he had the nerve to leave! Sora pouted and waddled away, silently cursing Riku and yet not mad at him. Why would he ever be mad at Riku?

Because he left you when you needed him…will it always be like this?

Sora pushed that thought to the back of his mind. He knew Riku was playing with him. That had to be the reason or was this another dream?

Sora sighed as he continued to hike toward his boat to recede to his house. This was so messed up. He was glad that Kairi and everyone did not witness him like this. It would have been awkward! He would get back at Riku…he would make sure of that.

Sora grinned maliciously and continued to trudge toward his boat in extreme pain all the while pondering of the plan that would surely get the revenge on Riku for leaving him like this. Sora would surely take pleasure in this plan…oh yes he would.

Riku laughed as he ambled into his room and silently closed the door. It was hilarious the way he left Sora all erected like that, but he sought so desperately to assist him through his pain. Next time he won't do that…maybe.

Riku grinned and cast a hand through his hair. He was so mean…yet it was what Sora needed…to understand how much he craved Riku. Riku sighed. A few more minutes with the other man and he would have been fully erected too. It was pretty sad how that one man could make him that excited in only a hug. Just think if he and Sora were making love…

Riku smirked and stared out the window toward the stars. What a night that would be…a gorgeous night. A very pleasurable night. Riku shook his head. Even though he recognized that Sora had feelings for him…he didn't know if it was those kind of feelings…was it just a crush or actual love?

Riku sighed. Well whatever it was…he hoped it was love…because he knew that he loved the man right back. He would do anything for him. ANYTHING!

Riku begun to pace toward his bathroom and grabbing his towel, he hopped in the shower and turned first the hot water knob and then the cold one on. He moaned as the small hot needles prickled his cold skin and made him feel all warm inside. Yes…now if only Sora were in here with him…how enjoyable that would be.

Stop thinking of Sora and take you damn shower Riku! Riku sighed and lathered up some soap and began to spread it all over his body. His eyes closed as he envisioned Sora doing the same and his hands all over his body. Riku smirked at the dirty thoughts. Sora was really getting into his head. Yep…now he knew that he loved Sora and he knew Sora had feelings for him, but were the feelings real?

The truth was that…well he actually used to be fond of Kairi in the beginning. When she first arrived at Destiny Island well…he really liked her a lot. She was sweet and nice, but she always took Sora away from him. His anger swelled as the memories began to occur in his head.

"Sora lets go to the secret spot!" Kairi squealed excitedly with her squeaky voice. Riku leaned his young slim body on a rock, his eyes glanced away from the two. Yet, he listened in their conversation. He was never really apart of anything Kairi wanted to do. It was always Sora this and Sora that! Why did she not like him? Was he not good enough? Not cool enough? Not cute enough? What was it that was appalling about him? Did his breath smell? Was his hair too pointy? Or did she just not like him…

"Come on Sora!" Kairi pulled him along and grinned her childish grin, her two front teeth were missing making her look like a baby compared to him and Sora. And Sora was her own age!

"Okay Kairi…" Sora concurred and followed Kairi. He turned back to Riku and with a smile motioned for him to come with them. "Come on Riku!"

Riku smiled and followed. He was always the follower. Why wasn't he ever a leader? He wanted to be a leader! Maybe even just once.

Riku sighed as he squirted some shampoo into his hand and lathered it into his soft hair; his nose smelt the scent of strawberry-kiwi and gasped. This was his mother's shampoo! What was it doing in here?

He sighed. Oh well…it was just shampoo.

His thoughts traveled back to Kairi and Sora. He remembered the day he was to hate her forever…the day when Sora and Kairi met on the dock and talked about them all departing for a different world.

"Sora lets take the raft and go-just the two of us!" Kairi blurted out of nowhere. Riku was hiding in the water right below them under the dock. He didn't know what compelled him to listen, but he did anyway. His heart twisted with sorrow as she spoke those words out of the clear blue. He knew she was speaking from her mind. She wanted Sora and she didn't care for him at all. It was sad really…all Riku did was be polite to her and now she was shunning him away. She was playing favorites and he detested her for it.

"Riku, are you drowning yourself in there?" The scratchy voice of his mother asked as she knocked on the locked door,

Riku snapped back to reality. "No I'm fine Mom…"

"Okay dear just checking…"

Riku sighed. They were so annoying at times and yet he knew his parents loved him. He sighed and turned the water off, grabbing his towel off the rack and wrapping it around his waist, he slowly unlocked and opened the door, shivering from the blast of cold air that smacked into him as he ambled out of the bathroom and into his room, gazing out his window and staring at one star that outshone the others and he smiled, silently wishing:

Starlight Star bright…do I love Sora tonight?
