Sora and Riku woke the next day refreshed and full of energy. They had laid all day in Sora's bed a planned.

"So Riku, sleep well, again?" asked Sora with a small grin.

"You know I did silly." answered Riku with his own little grin.

They finally got out of bed, Riku with cloths, and Sora, well… Sora only had his boxers on, and they seemed to have slipped a little down. Riku snapped Sora's boxers as a way of telling him they were a little to low. Sora blushed and pulled them up as he went to the closet to put on his magical cloths.

"Sora I've bin meaning to ask you something." stated Riku.

"What?" asked Sora.

"Were did you get your cloths… well not the one in your closet, the ones you were wearing on your adventures?"

"Well I went to go see Sid, the all powerful magician, and his fairies made them with magic." said Sora with a sad tone in his voice. "I was able to tern into powerful forms before, with the help of Donald and Goofy, but now that they are back with the king, I can't use them anymore.

Riku was amazed that he was able to do these things, but saddened because his love wasn't able to do them anymore.

Sora was done dressing and he and Riku went outside.

"Riku your mom called again, I told her we went to the movies and that you fell asleep before you could call." stated Sora's mom as they walked out.

"Sora, your moms the coolest person every." stated Riku as a-matter-of- factly.

They walked around the mainland just walking and holding hands. Looking around at all their fun hangouts and walking to random places.

After a while they reached the docks and stood there looking out at Destiny Island. The stayed there for a while looking at the island in amazement that they managed to bring it back, and defend it from pure evil.

They got to there boats and decided to take one boat to save energy on rowing, and so they could talk about little nothingness that made one or the other blush. They were half way through the ocean when a gust of wind blew very hard… rocking the boat and moving it a little to the left. Sora shivered and Riku looked concerned for his health.

"Sora, are you cold?" asked Riku concerned ready to take off his vest and wrap it around Sora.

"Just a little." said Sora as he shivered.

And just like that Riku took off his vest and wrapped it around Sora.

"Riku, aren't you cold?" asked Sora, concerned and with a little pout that said. Please tell me you're not so I don't have to feel guilty.

"Nope," answered Riku with a sly grin that made Sora smile himself.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

They got to the island, off the boat, and strapped it to the dock.

They walked on to the beach and laid down. Riku got sad very quickly and Sora was wondering why.

Riku was thinking about the first time he was taken off the island with the help of the Shadows. He was thinking an asking himself many questions. They ranged from 'Why is Sora so nice to me after I was so, so… evil' to 'How can I be here right now taken in with open arms?' and with that he started to shed silent tears.

"Riku, what's wrong?" asked Sora looking at his lover's tearing eyes.

"Sora… why are you here with me right now?" asked Riku looking into his eyes, Sora starting to tear up himself.

"Well Riku… it's because I love you, and I was sad when you were locked within kingdom hearts," Sora was bawling now. "Riku… I thought I lost you… I didn't what to lock you in there, but I knew I had to if I wanted all the horrible things to stop… and when I locked you in there, I had also locked my heart in there with you… waiting to find you… and waiting to find my happ-" Sora was cut of when a pair of lips touched his, Riku was crying as hard as Sora and he was kissing him with so much passion that their lips were getting swollen and hurting, but they didn't want to stop. Their tears combine on their cheeks, and they stop for air. They had stopped crying as soon as they stopped kissing.

"Hehehehe, Sora your lips are so red." teased Riku as he wiped the remaining tears away from his eyes.

"So are your." Sora stated with a chuckle as he was doing the same with his tears.

Sora took a handkerchief from his pocket, which he always kept with him, and wiped Riku's face, getting rid of all the tears that had mixed together so he didn't get red cheeks. When Sora was about to remove his hand Riku grabbed it and took the handkerchief with the other. He kissed Sora's fingers, as he wiped the tears from his face. Riku then gave Sora back the handkerchief, but before he did that he wiped the single, and last, tear that Sora had shed.

They slept on the island that day. Sora's mom called Riku's mom using the same excuse as the day before, and as the day before Riku's mom had bought it. It had gotten very dark, and they went into the secret cave, surprisingly enough that was the warmest place on the island, considering they were on sand and surrounded by rocks, and a mass amount, while in a cave.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

They woke up early in the morning, it was warm but not warm enough. They had laid there trying to get a little warmer, but failed.

"Well I guess it's time to go home." said Sora.

"I guess so." stated Riku.

As they got up from the floor Sora almost fell back down, but thanks to Riku, he only staggered, while Riku held his hand. Sora looked up at Riku with a thank-you look. They made their way out of the cave, and saw that the clouds where gathering overhead. They got to the boat and untied it, and rowed away as quick as possible trying not to get caught by the storm.

They docked on the pier on the mainland and saw Kairi waiting for them. Kairi was standing there watching them a they rowed in. She had a determined look in her face and she was obviously nervous about something.

"Um Sora…" said Kairi as she was playing around with her hand. "Well um I was going to go to your house and tell you something that I thought you should here… I wanted to tell you in the castle of Knot, when I first saw you, and when I hugged you, realizing that everything was real. I l-l-like you S-s-s-sora." and with that she grabbed him and gave him a big kiss.

Sora didn't resist because he was thinking of Riku, that was all he thought about as Kairi kissed him, instead of Kairi he saw Riku… in his mind's eye. Kairi kept kissing him and Sora didn't resist, but he didn't enjoy it either. He then opened his eye's and saw Riku's face as the kiss continued… he wanted the kiss to end but Kairi showed no sign of that happening. Riku now ran off, and Sora swore he saw a tear role down his face, when this happened he pushed Kairi away and she looked at him with pleasure and concern.

"Sorry Kairi, but I love Riku…" said Sora saddened because he not only hurt his best friend's heart but also his lovers heart.

"Sora… I didn't know… you …" Kairi was cut off

"No one knows, only my mom, and Riku." Said Sora looking up the street to where Riku ran off hoping he could see him, but alas he couldn't

"Why didn't you tell me, I thought I was your friend?" asked Kairi now thinking that they probably were never friends to begin with.

"Because, I had these feelings when I was with Riku in that castle of knot, when he fought next to me against Xemnas." Sora was now thinking about that hard passionate kiss he, and Riku shared on the Island, and his lips started to ach, but not because they were still sore, but because he wanted to kiss Riku more harder and more passionatly, and he wanted to apologize to Riku a million times because he knew he could have stopped the kiss, but he didn't. "Sorry Kairi, I have to go find Riku." Sora then ran off leaving Kairi alone.

Sora ran up the street that Riku ran, but he was breathless have way up the block. He sat there, on the ground breathless and crying again. He thought about Riku and thought of the battle with Xemnas flooded his mind. When Riku pushed Sora away from Xemnas' attack, when they both used their power to destroy Xemnas, when they made it to the realm of Darkness, and when Riku admitted that he always wanted to be like Sora, and when they fell from the sky back to Destiny Island. 'I will find you Riku I swear!' He thought, then he stood up and all of the sudden he was surrounded with the light and barrier that allowed him to take the many different forms, the barrier broke and Final Form Sora emerged. Sora jumped up into the sky 50 feet then slowly really slowly descended. He scanned the area looking for Riku, and he saw him, walking now… or he thought that was him, without skipping a beat Sora was off! Gliding as fast as he could to catch up to Riku… his Friend, his lover, his Riku, the only person he would follow to end of world, and if not, farther.

Kairi was standing still in the docks looking at Sora as he glided away in a split second. "I'm sorry Riku… Sora… please forgive me." As she said this one tear fell from her face, then another, then another, then it started to rain, and she walked alone, back home.
