A/N: "As my memory rests, it never forgets what I lost..."

Haha. Someone asked in a review if the segments were meant to be connected, and my answer is... you can take them however you want! Some of them I write as connected, but that won't always work because I'm sure eventually I'll write jealousy drabbles and all that. Soo.. they are SOMETIMES connected. If that makes any sense!

Sora stood at the edge of the world and whispered sweet nothings, watching the ocean churn away carefree sunrays into it's dark depths as night approached. He filled his lungs with the sunset, letting it swell within him as his eyelids fluttered and closed.

"Sometimes I think if I didn't have this I would die," he murmurs later, wrapped up comfortably in Riku's sheets. The elder boy simply rubs Sora's lower lip with the pad of his thumb , and kisses him before the brunet becomes too philosophical. It isn't until the boy is completely naked and spent that he even remembers how to speak, and when he does he simply stares out into the night sky and asks, "Why don't we watch the stars together anymore?"

Riku is asleep though, one arm draped protectively around Sora's boyish hips.

Riku has never really been bothered by the fact that Sora is dating Kairi. No matter how the boy flaunted it, he could never seem to rile his friend. Not when he kicked the PDA up to the max, not when he spent the night at her house (watching scary movies, but don't tell Riku that), and not even that time they ditched him at the movie theater. Each time all Sora got from Riku was a sly wink and a hushed, "So you finally got some?"

That's why the day Tidus awkwardly shoved Sora into a wall and kissed him in the library came to the brunet from such a shock. Not because he was being kisses, or even because he was sort-of maybe kissing back, but because after a measly three seconds the boy's long-time friend was ripped back and literally thrown across the room by an enraged Riku.

He'd been lurking, unbeknownst to the other two.

"What the fuck?!" was all the dazed Sora could hear, recognizing the rage in his friend's voice as he slumped against the fantasy section and watched Tidus receive multiple bashes to the face.

Riku was expelled for half a month, Tidus stayed overnight in the hospital, and Sora fell asleep that night with a smile on his face.

Lately Sora finds he can't keep his pants on for more than five minutes when he's alone with Riku. They say conversation is the first thing to go.

"I'm meeting Kairi after class, just so you know."

Sora purses his lips, tapping the eraser of his pencil on the hard wood of his desk. Across from him, Riku says nothing. The older male only buries his chin into his palm and stares out of the window, watching storm-clouds brewing on the horizon. "Storms coming..." he murmurs, more to himself than to the expectant boy in front of him.

A tickle in his nose tells Sora it's time to leave. The brunet stands quickly, throws his bag over his shoulder, and works harder than he'd like to admit to keep his brows from knitting together. "You really just don't care at all, do you?" he hisses, finding the venom makes his confidence rise along with his blood pressure. Without really thinking about it the boy leans forward, lips brushing against the shell of Riku's ear. "One day I'm going to fuck her, and you're not going to matter anymore."

Riku can only watch Sora's back as he walks away.

A/N: I'm done with past-tense. I honestly enjoy present more and these… whatever they are, are written for my enjoyment more than for practice.
