Okay,
I thought that that ficlet showed promise so I rewrote it into an
actual story. Lol, enjoy. RikuxSora, shounen ai fluff.
Addicted
the second try!
Once again the sun was shining on Destiny
Island. Exotic birds sang softly to each other in the trees and
serene waves broke gently upon pristine sands. On paupu island with a
breeze billowing his luminous silver spikes sat Riku, bored as hell
with it all.
The silver-haired youth was staring far out
towards the horizon from his seat on the overhanging paupu tree,
thinking about what could be beyond it, like he did almost every day.
Brooding was almost a base state for him; it was the core of his
attitude these days. But why not, there was only one person who could
really bring him out of it...
"Hey Riku!"
Speak
of the devil. With a slight smile Riku looked up at his friend
running across the bridge towards him. Casually he half waved to the
brunette and waited patiently for Sora to reach him. Though Sora was
the brightest thing in his life he was still a point that required
mush thought and consideration on Riku's part.
"Riku, you
gotta try this stuff!" Sora's feet barely touched the sand of
Riku's island before he was talking a mile a minute about something
called "Pocky" and extolling its virtues. For a while Riku
left him ramble on indulgently before bringing it to a halt via a
hand clamped over his mouth. Not like Sora didn't have any warning,
Riku's jump down from the tree and his walk over hadn't been exactly
stealthy.
Eyes sparkling happily Sora simply offered a bright
red box to his friend now that his speech had been impeded. Riku
arched a finely shaped eyebrow and released his friend to seize the
box instead.
"What is this?"
With a sigh of
exasperation Sora snatched back the box and ripped it open. "Haven't
you been listening to me?? It's POCKY!" Mock glaring at Riku he
withdrew a thin brown stick and clamped it between his lips.
"Doing
drugs now Sora?" Riku walked back to his tree with his friend
trailing after him. Both boys sat down in the white sand in the
tree's cool shade in uniform agreement.
Sora pouted and bit
off the end of his stick before replying. "They're not drugs
even though it's really addictive. Well, Selphie told me that they
have crack mixed with the chocolate but I think she was kidding. Just
try some!" Grinning like a maniac he thrust the open box into
his friend's hands.
Riku looked into the box doubtfully. Under
Sora's eager gaze he accepted one and gave it a tentative nibble.
Behold the power of peer pressure and puppy dog eyes. Remind me, why
do I have a crush on this boy? Oh yeah, cause he's cute and sweet and
wonderful and perfect and...hey, this Pocky stuff's not
bad.
Distracted from his sulking thoughts by the chocolaty
taste of the candy Riku finished off the stick and grabbed for
another one at the same time as Sora. For a moment as their fingers
closed on the same piece it was almost like a cute romantic little
fanfic. They were staring at each other daring the other to let go
first and Sora shifted a little closer towards his friend. After a
moment he withdrew the piece and snapped it in half between his hand
and Sora's.
Never taking his eyes off Sora Riku ate his half,
watching Sora do the same. A tiny smear of chocolate marred Sora's
bottom lip and it was horribly tempting for Riku, he wanted nothing
in the world more than to lean over and lick it off. He actually
started to lean in before-
"SOORA!! REEEKU!!"
Dammit
dammit DAMMIT! Suppressing a half formed growl in his throat Riku
pasted on a smile and turned towards the intrusion. Kairi bounced
across the bridge and wiggled her way in between them. "Hi guys!
I missed ya! Oh Riku, can you scoot over a little and give me some
elbow room?" The little princess made it seem like Riku had been
the one who barged in and sat practically in her lap, not the other
way around.
Smile still pasted on he jumped up like the sand
burned him and backed away a few feet. "Oh sorry guys, I just
remembered, I promised my parents I'd clean my room. See ya later!"
Quickly he pivoted on his heel and high tailed it to the dock and his
boat missing Sora's disappointed look.
And just for the
record, DAMMIT!!
It was late, really late. If
little neon green numbers of a digital clock could be believed it was
after midnight, closer to one in the morning if you were being picky.
Riku hadn't slept a wink. And before you asked no, it wasn't because
he was thinking of Sora. Well anyway that wasn't the only
reason...
The truth was....Pocky. He wanted, no, he Needed,
another stick. Sora hadn't been kidding when he had said it was
addictive, as a matter of fact Selphie's theory was getting more and
more plausible by the pass of every craving filled minute.
I
NEED POCKY! Riku was curled on his bed in silky black boxers, the
ones Sora had given him for his birthday as a gag. He kinda liked
them, the bright red hearts grow on you after awhile...
Wait,
where was he? Oh yeah, the intolerable Pocky cravings and some
naughty thoughts involving Sora and chocolate that were keeping him
awake. Err, just forget that last part. discreet cough
"What
can I doo??" Riku indulged in the fact that no one was home to
whine and complain where no one could hear him so his reputation
would not be ruined. "I want Pocky and I want Sora and I don't
know which I want more right now! ARRGGHH!!!"
For a few
minutes he lapped back into silence after his outburst and snuggled
into the creamy blue comforter to think. "DAMMIT I am going to
get what I want!" He means the Pocky, sadly he's not gonna go
jump Sora
Quickly he got dressed in his slightly rumpled
clothes and vaulted out the window of his room. His bare feet made no
noise cushioned by the sand below and after regaining his balance he
set off at a ground-eating lope towards his friend's house. Since it
was a small island it wasn't long before he standing in front of
Sora's cheerful red door and hesitating.
What had he been
thinking? Sora was probably sleeping and he had just come over here
anyway. Riku no baka! Well since he had come this far he might as
well knock. Tentatively he tapped the door, too soft for anyone to
hear but the door was thrown open anyway. A very tired and rumbled
Sora wrapped up in pajamas stood in the doorway looking at him with
surprise.
"Riku? What're you doing here?"
What
was he doing here? Riku sort of forgot his objective at the mere
sight of Sora in bunny patterned pajama bottoms and an unbuttoned
cotton over shirt. Some little part of his mind slapped him silly and
yelled, "the Pocky you fool!!"
"Um, Pocky? I
can't sleep and I wanted to know if you had anymore." Wow that
was unusually eloquent for this time of night.
"C'mon
in." Sora stepped out of the doorway, retreating back into his
living room. "Sit down and I'll be back in a minute."
Like
the good little boy he was Riku plopped down on the couch, taking up
way more space than possible by the laws of nature and physics. A few
minutes passed before Sora returned looking thoughtful and holding
the desired red box.
"This is my last one, Kairi ate all
the others. I don't want to just give it up." Sora bit his
bottom lip and looked even more thoughtful. "How about this, I
challenge you and the winner gets the Pocky?"
Riku
nodded, willing to agree to anything if it meant he had a chance to
get Pocky. Besides, he always beat Sora. "What's the challenge,
a sword fight?"
"No." Sora smiled and ripped
open the box, pulling out a single stick before setting the rest
down. Riku's eyes were glued to the chocolate covered stick in Sora's
hand as the brunette approached the couch and sat down very much in
Riku's personal space. "Here." Aqua eyes blinked in
surprise at the Pocky being shoved into his face and instinctively he
bit the end of it.
As soon as Riku had a hold of it Sora took
the other end into his mouth. A small noise of a puzzlement bubbled
out Riku's throat and he almost dropped his side of the Pocky. "First
one to look away loses." Sora growled around his grip on the
sweet and glared challengingly down the thin stick.
As Sora's
meaning hit him Riku bristled and glared back, shifting so he was
more on eyelevel with the brunette. "I'm not going to
lose."
Several minutes ticked away with neither looking
away from the other. The chocolate of the Pocky had started to melt,
making Riku's lips sticky in a way the rubbed him raw. He wanted to
end it now and a plan quickly formed in his mind.
Riku
stiffened and waited for Sora to shift, even a little bit. Another
minute passed before the brunette turned ever so slightly, giving
Riku his que to snap the Pocky stick and dart forward, eyes never
leaving Sora's as he brought their lips together. With a gasp Sora
closed his eyes and leaned into it.
After a half minute of
chaste chocolate flavored kiss Riku pulled away feeling giddy. "I
win!"
"Shut up." Sora grabbed the front of his
shirt and initiated another kiss.
I could get addicted to
this...
Those little
comments fro first person mode are Riku's thought just fyi. So what
do ya think? It's certainly longer than the first chapter and I kinda
like how it turned out. YAY for my second Kingdom hearts fic!!
