Notes: No one has reviewed, except me. Haha. That won't stop me for now. I'll just keep on writing! Lot's of dialogue and the beginning of slight feelings for Riku from Sora are beginning to develop, the first plot about the moving into the house is over, and a new one will start to form.


Chapter 2: Moving and Feelings

Sora and Riku had released out of their hug and were entering the house that Riku currently lives in. Sora couldn't help but feeling that something was right in the hug. He enjoyed the hug. What made him enjoy it though? Was it the fact that he helped Riku? Was it that it made him feel good? Or was it Riku that made it so special? Riku is attractive with his toned muscles and beautiful eyes.

Wait I shouldn't be thinking this way! Well, I guess I could be gay. There isn't anything wrong with it… I don't know….

The door was slid open now and both boys were entering now, Riku smiling like an idiot and Sora with a half-hearted smile, lost in his thoughts. Riku had to take Sora by the hand otherwise Sora would have fallen over almost every piece of furniture. Riku chuckled inwardly at this. He looked back only to see a lost look in his face. Mine as well see if he's paying attention.

"Sora, I love you." Riku said testing Sora's listening skills at the moment. All he got was a nod and a "whatever". Riku frowned softly and looked at the boy. He was so adorable. I wonder what he is thinking about….

"Sora!"

"W-What?" Sora said instantly noticing his hand entangled in Riku's. A warm blush crept about his face.

"You've been thinking about something. I can tell." Sora looked right into Riku's eyes and wanted to tell Riku what was going on, what he was thinking. Maybe he would understand? Maybe he would think Sora wanted him. Who knows what he would think…

Up in the next room were Natasha and an older lady sitting on a 3-person couch. Riku still pulling Sora by the hand came and walked into the room. Natasha noticed their hands together and shot a knowing glance at Sora and winked at him. All Sora could do was twist his face up in a questioning way.

Natasha went back to talking to the older lady before they finally spoke.

"Riku," The older lady spoke, "I am so happy for you to find such a loving family. You understood I couldn't support you forever on retirement. And you even have someone around your age to so you're not always secluded." Riku remembered that Sarah, the older lady, always was sounding like a parenting book.

Riku chuckled inwardly as he tightened his grip around Sora's hand. He really liked the feeling of Sora's hand in his. It was smaller, but it had a radiance of heat that warmed him from the inside.

Now Natasha spoke. "So get up there and put as many clothes as you can in some suitcases, carry them over and unpack into the dresser in the spare room. We will take your linens, possessions, and almost any other things we can over. It might take a while but you will eventually be completely moved in."


Together the group of four started clearing out the room. Natasha and Sarah taking several trips already while Sora gathered Riku's linens and Riku almost was done getting his clothes. When Riku's back was turn Sora softly inhaled the scent from Riku's sheets. They smelled exactly like him, the smell almost embodied him. It was sweet, comforting, and warm. Exactly how Sora saw Riku.

Sora glanced at Riku for a moment only to be met with silver hair cascading down to a little past his shoulders and a muscular back. Sora quickly got back to getting Riku's things. When he was done he sat on Riku's bed to wait for him to finish with the clothes. Here he thought to himself about the little notions he has in his head, like how he enjoyed the hug, and his touch, and how he looked at Sora. It was all too much confusing for him.

"Time to go, Sora." Riku snapped the boy out of his thoughts. The blue-eyed boy looked at Riku with a sparkle in his eye.

"Yah, ok." Was all he said, he was too absorbed in his own thoughts to worry about carrying things over to his house. He just silently followed behind the boy as they headed downstairs, out the door, and towards Sora's back door. Sora couldn't help bur remember the very recent hug they shared near Riku's back door.

Sora opened the door to bring the linens in as he smiled at the boy in front of him, even if he didn't see it.


Everyone had successfully brought all of Riku's possessions into the house. Sora and Riku were eating dinner in the kitchen as Natasha came down from upstairs. She had a grin on her face as she smiled at the two boys and disappeared into another room. Sora was still reviewing his feelings as he felt Riku tug on him.

"SORA! I've been asking for 2 minutes now!" Sora's only response was a questioning glance. "Sora, you're so frustrating. Let's go upstairs." Riku said with a blinding smile on his face.

"Whatever." Was all Sora said as he was being tugged my Riku again gently, letting him lead him up stairs. Once again, Riku had his fingers entangled in Sora's and once again had Sora felt the soft, warmness emanating from the hand holding his. Sora blushed a little as they were now heading up the stairs. When they reached Riku's room, Riku began to walk in as he tripped on something unknown, Sora still lost in his fault tripped over the same thing and came crashing down right on Riku's chest.

Sora was honestly exhausted, and now he began to think laying down would knock him out right away. He wasn't to far off as now he laid on Riku's chest, hands wrapped around him, head nestled in Riku's shoulders, sleeping. Riku chuckled to himself as he slowly slid under the boy and carried him to his bed, after expecting the invisible wire, no doubt Natasha had set up. He did remember Sora saying his mother was insane, or he read it from his face. Either way he was quite amused his mother's little stunt.

Riku laid Sora down on the freshly spread linens. He glanced at the clock as it read 12:34, he couldn't believe how late he had ate his dinner. In exhaustion, Riku fell over and laid down next to Sora, slowly taking Sora's hand in his own. Riku felt a small blush cover his face and a smile crept its way onto his face also. In that way he fell asleep, thinking about Sora.


Sora slowly churned in his sleep, signaling his awakening. Riku was still fast asleep with his hand still clasped in Sora's. A few minutes passed and Sora finally awakened from his sleep. He smiled to himself at the warm morning, feeling a hand in his and a radiance of warm. He looked around, not noticing anything weird. But wait, this wasn't his room… it looked vaguely like the…. Guestroom! Or at least it was Riku's room. RIKU'S ROOM! Sora shot up like a rocket and laid his eyes on a sleeping boy in the same bed as he was just in.

Riku look's so cute laying there…I'm not going to mess this up! I mean he's living here now! I can't do anything to mess with his mind, or even tell him how I feel. But what if he feels the same. Then what should I do?

Riku now began to stir from his sleep, eyes now opening as they fell upon Sora with a cute blush. Riku smiled subconsciously, not realizing he was going to be impaled with questions from the boy.

"WHAT AM I DOING IN BED WITH YOU!" Sora spat out quickly, regretting his enraged tone.

"Sora, you're mother set up a trip wire in front of the door. I fell first and then you fell on top of me. And then you just went to sleep. So I carried you into bed and I saw that it was 12:34 so I just fell over exhausted myself. That's all." Riku explained, blinking at why the boy was so angry.

"Did I really fall asleep on you?" He vaguely remembered falling on something hard, yet comforting, he even now remembered the hug they shared, or he had give when he fell asleep on the boy.

"Yah you did." Was all Riku replied with.

"Ok." Sora said, seeming like cutting off the conversation. "Riku, thank you for not just letting me sleep on the floor." Sora said more happily then seriously, he was now getting up and walking towards Riku. Their eyes locked in an almost unbreakable gaze.

Riku laughed at how he could tell Sora appreciated him carrying him into bed.

"What are you laughing at!"

"You Sora, what else."

"Nothing Sora, it's just….." Riku trailed off catching himself before what he wanted to say all this time.

"Just… just what?" Sora was anticipating something big to leave Riku's mouth. He tensed his shoulders, bracing himself for what he was going to hear.

"You're so cute, I guess." Sora winced as he heard it, without realizing it was a simple word. All it is, is "Cute". Nothing terrible. I mean Riku IS gay, he understood that. It was almost inevitable this would happen. But, Sora didn't realize his body was moving on instincts, and not on thought. He reached out and pulled the elder boy into a tight hug, this time leaning into Riku's chest.

"So-Sora?" Was all Riku could manage. He slowly leaned over and placed a kiss on the boy's forehead, making Sora look right at him in the eye. His eye's were an endless blue, in-escapable, incomprehensible, just the total embodiment of innocence and beauty. A second after their eyes melt, Riku took off running into the hall and locking himself in the bathroom.

Was he really the one being timid about this? He never was like this. What makes this boy so different?

Riku held his head in his hands, thinking about what had happened. Why had Sora hugged him? Does he like him? Once again he did remember what Sora said about not knowing who or what he liked. All Riku could do was wonder as he held his head tighter.


"Riku? What's wrong? Did I do something?" Sora said concerned as he stood outside the bathroom, knowing that's where Riku was. Sora heard a small muffled noise from the other side of the room, but couldn't make out what it even sounded like. Sora rapped on the door now asking to be let in.

"Sora...." Was all he got in return but still pressed to be let in.

"Riku let me in! I want to make sure you're ok. I care."

This caused Riku to react right away as he stared at the door knob, deciding whether to open it or not. Eventualy he made up his mine and opened the lock as Sora immediately turned the knob.

"I'm so-sorry Sora." Was all Riku could get out as he was pulled again into a hug.

"It's ok Riku, I understand. I can't blame you for how you feel." Sora let go of Riku while he was grinning happily as he tried to comfort is friend.

"No its not. I'm sorry Sora, I didn't mean to." Riku shot out, feeling extremely regretful for making a move on the brunet standing in front of him.

"Riku! I told you. It doesn't bug me if you having feelings for me, at least you were honest from the start and told me you're gay. If I didn't understand that, maybe I would be a little upset. But, like I said, I can't blame you for this. Riku I accept you for who you are, and even if I don't return the feelings I wouldn't be mad at you, its just who you are..." Sora went on, seriosuly trying to make Riku forget what had happen and lighten up.

"Sora, you said if." Was all Riku said after carefully examining what he had said for a minute.

A sudden blush covered Sora's cheeks as he began to speak, "Yes Riku, I said if. I really don't know yet, but maybe I just don't know." Sora smiled nervously without tearing his eyes from Riku's.

Riku slowly smiled, instantly feeling comfroted. "Ok, Sora."

"And besides Riku, it wasn't anything big, just a kiss on the forehead, I probably wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't mention it to me. Mainly because I-" And with that Sora was cut off by a certain silver-haired boy.

"Liked it?" Riku said with a teasing voice.

"I guess." Sora dropped his smile and lowered his head some, looking at Riku through his eyelashes, he also blushed greatly.

All Riku did was nod his head in acceptance and pulled the boy for a closer hug. He couldn't believe that this cute, brown-haired boy maybe returning the feelings for him. But why couldn't he believe. He has been with a ton of people, so why did it matter now? Maybe he cared more about this boy. Who knows...? Riku didn't notice Sora tugging on his arm leading him downstairs for breakfast. Riku smiled satisfied at how it turned out.


Out on the kitchen table were layered pancakes, with a bottle of maple syrup placed next to him. Obviously Natasha had already been up and out to work for he saw a note on the refrigerator. Deciding to read it later Sora offered Riku anything to drink. Riku declined simply and started placing a pancake on a plate that was already set up on the table. Sora and Riku were arguing about something about school when they realized they had school that day and were rushing up to get ready, their hair both messed up and wearing the clothes they had slept in. Riku ran in front of Sora and claimed the showere first, sticking out his tounge as he disappeared into the bathroom. (I know how much you guys want me to make it that they share the shower in an atempt to hurry up, but none of that yet. XD)

When the two were ready they rushed out the door running over to the bus stop, Yuffie was surprised to see the two boys running around the corner. Why was Riku with him? Is what she thought. Sora didn't tell anyone about what happened, because of the reason that he didn't have time. He had helped Riku move him, fell asleep on him, and got ready for school. He didn't check his cell phone, he probably had a couple messages but didn't feel like looking.

"Hey Sora!" Yuffie waved with a smile on her face as the two boys aproached, they had two run two blocks to get to thier bus stop, with just now the bus pulling up. (I live down a huge hill to get to my bus stop so I always have to be early otherwise I can't run up the hill witha back pack)

"Hey Yuffie." Sora replied after catching his breath. "Riku lived behind me so he's taking the bus with us now." Sora said waiting for her to question the "lived" but she didn't seem to notice. All she did was mutter a slightly inaudible greeting towards Riku. Sora forgot that his friends didn't necessarily enjoy his presence, too bad though because Riku was really nice. Sora realized he would have to tell his friends what was going on, which didn't seem to be a smart thing due to the fact that usualy impassive Cloud, not as much as leon though, got angry at Riku's existance. Did Sora want his head ripped off? Probably not.

Riku caught out of his eye the look at the younger boy brooding over something. He put out a hand and clasped it over Sora's shoulder reasuringly. Sora blushed slightly and just nodded. This seemed to perplex Yuffie as he saw the blush on his face. She also noticed how Riku was looking at Sora, an extremely endearing look. Yuffie automaticaly thought the worst as she saw the two's attraction.

"SORA! YOU DIDN'T HAVE SEX WITH HIM!" Suddenly evereyone turned their heads to see who screames, who could blame them, Yuffie could be a little loud when she wanted to. When they saw it was Yuffie probably over reacting they turned back to the seats of the bus, they had gotten on a while ago.

"NO YUFFIE!" Riku said unexpectedly. "I moved into Sora's house!"

"WHAT? Are you guys a couple or something? That is really creapy!" Yuffie said now obviously angry.

Riku spoke again: "NO! My mom through me out of the house because I'm gay and Sora offered to let me live there! Why are you so angry?"

"Riku you know what happened with Cloud!" Yuffie said, not as angry this time.

"Yah and I'm sorry about that! I told him every chance I got but I gave up when he was being to hard-headed!"

Yuffie was angered and moved to another seat while Sora turned to Riku and wait for him to speak again.

"Sorry Sora. I didn't expect the Cloud thing to come up, I would tell you but we are at school now. Maybe later." With that Riku took Sora's hand and gave him a wink as he headed to the Sophmore area of the school. Destiny High was a huge school, all the smaller islands around them came to this school, on a "School Ferry". The school had its own dock which created clubs like "Fishing club" and "Seafaring Club". Sora wasn't to interested in the ocean so it didn't impact him too much.

Sora was confused at what was going on. What happened with Cloud? And why had he felt angry when Yuffie yelled at him? Sora did like Riku and wanted to be his friend of course. But, was it more than that? Right now he knew two things. He wouldn't let people yell at Riku, and he didn't want to face his friends. He actually felt protective of Riku, why was Sora getting all these feelings? It was all too confusing and Sora tried to dispell the thoughts from his head and shuffled to first period, imapatient till he got to 4th period. None of his friends were in his classes oddly enough so he didn't have to worry yet.

Fourth period eventually came around to see Riku sitting next to the seat Sora usualy sat at. He must have requested for him to move. Not many people could pull that off. Sora casually walked over and sat down. surprised when a note came by. Sora quietely opened it as he looked at what it said. Sora practically fainted as they saw what it said.

Want to go on a date with me? -RIKU

Sora quickly scribled something in has he passed it back. He couldn't believe Riku was being so forward, wasn't he afraid he would ruin their friendship and make the whole living together thing awkward? He did feel compelled to say yes though.

Sure. What time you going to pick me up? -SORA

Sora... -RIKU

What? -SORA

I live with you, goof. -RIKU

Oh, so what time we going to leave? -SORA

7:00 -RIKU

Ok. Cool. Does this mean that were...? -SORA

No. Sora its just a date, truthfuly I just want to know if we might work before we get
ahead of ourselves and ruin our friendship. If it doesn't work out, I won't continue to persue.
It's that simple. -RIKU

Oh, ok. I get it. -SORA

A blush now completely taken over Sora's face, the silver-haired boy nodded to them as they now just started to pay attention to the class. Sora shot one more admiring glance at Riku as he thought about what would happen tonight.


Notes: Yes I know they are already going on a date but its not too serious.

Riku: AWWWW!

-Anyway, things will get different though, there still is a lot more to learn though, like what happened with Riku and Cloud. Keep reading and you will find out!

Riku: YEAH! I just want Sora, I don't care if you kill me off.

-(Writes that Cloud pulls out a knife and holds it to Riku's neck)

Riku: JUST KIDDING! Don't kill me!

-Anyway, (Erases the Cloud/knife part) It will get a lot more interesting, as a first time story writer for this I'm having trouble keeping everything slow, because I have the opposite of Writer's Block. I keep thinking of what should happen in the future, and I'm so excited to get to it that I tend to speed things up. Bare with me!

AND REEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW! OR I will kill off Riku! Than there is no story so you don't want that to happen!
