There was no more denying it; Sora liked Riku. He had been charming and wooing him from the first date. Now they had been on ten, the roses on his desk a signifier of that. What he just couldn't seem to figure out is how he did it so smoothly. At first all he tried to do was get into his pants and the moment he had agreed to date him he had been nothing but sweet and kind. Wondering why and how this could be possible made Sora feel exasperated. How was he to know if Riku was being himself or just faking to get his attention?
He knew he was being irrational, judging him and thinking badly about him. After all, Riku hadn't tried making a move on him since they had started dating. A soft sigh escaped his lips, running a hand through his chocolate brown spikes and staring up at the ceiling. By now he had learned Riku's schedule. He wouldn't be back for another hour. Leon was busy in class too so he couldn't exactly call him. His mother was at work, Kairi was at school, Roxas was most likely having a sex day with Axel. There was no one to really hang out with at the moment. Well, except for maybe Zexion and Demyx but he didn't doubt they were busy sexing it up as well.
With slight effort, he rolled over onto his side, reaching underneath his bed. He pulled out his stash of Oreo's Leon had brought him the other day as an apology for not getting to hang out as much. Even when they had finally moved so close to each other they rarely got to visit. But he was happy to hear that he and Cloud had been going out a lot more lately and their relationship seemed to be developing even more than before. The brunette didn't doubt an engagement announcement would be declared soon.
Just when he was about to dig in and eat the rest of the Oreos in the pack, a knock came from his door. He sighed and rolled out of bed, standing up and going to answer the door. He blinked in surprise when he saw his boyfriend's brother standing before him. "Er, hi," he said, scratching the back of his head. He had only talked to him once when he had been waiting for Riku to pay on their date.
"Hello Sora," he said, a rather winsome smirk playing on his lips from the cute brunette's reaction. "How are you and Riku doing?" he asked, a pleasant smile on his face. It was charming really, much like his brother's.
"We're doing good. I hadn't really expected that we would end up dating for so long," he said sheepishly. They had already been on ten dates, one date a week. It was strange how he had broken his own rule of one date every two weeks. But what he could say, Riku was a charmer.
"I see. Well, I'm glad your relationship is coming along nicely. Would you happen to know where he is?"
"He's in class right now. He gets out in a little less than an hour."
"I see…well…could you tell him to call me please? We have something we need to discuss," he said, bowing his head gracefully once Sora nodded and walked off. The brunette watched him go for several minutes before someone calling his name snapped him out of his curious stupor.
"Sora! Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey!" Demyx cried out, practically running through the halls to get to him, books in hand. He assumed the blonde had just come back from class. It was strange how even when they were friends he still hadn't learned Demyx's schedule. Strangely enough, he had learned Zexion's simply because he enjoyed all their conversations even when they were usually kept short and to the point. Zexion wasn't one for idle chatter.
Despite sometimes getting annoyed with Demyx's hyper attitude, he couldn't help but smile as he was nearly tackled into a hug. "Hey Demyx. Just get back from class?" he asked, the other backing away to give him room to breathe again.
"Yep! Our teacher let us out early today! But now I have nothing to do cause Zexy doesn't get out for another hour and a half," he pouted. "Oh! I know, let's hang out until he gets out!" he said, giving Sora the expectant gaze he had become all too familiar with over the past two months. It wasn't surprising to see it since Demyx hated to be alone and always wanted to hang out with someone at least three times a week. Sora wondered how he ever got all his homework done between friends, Zexion, and playing his sitar.
"I don't know Demyx…I was kind of relaxing, you know, enjoying some time alone," he said, scratching the back of his head for a moment, feeling a little guilty to be denying the happy blonde. He just wanted to spend some time alone, something that was hard to come across when you shared a dorm room with your boyfriend and had friends like Demyx and a few others he had made.
"Hey, I don't see how you can't relax while hanging out with me!" he huffed, going past the brunette and seating himself on the edge of Sora's bed. "Now come on! It'll just be for an hour and a half. We can talk about our boyfriends!" he suggested happily, carelessly dumping his schoolbooks on the floor as he stole an Oreo from his friend's stash he seemed to always have.
Sora rolled his eyes at his friend's pushy behavior, following him back in the room and closing the door behind him. He sat down next to Demyx, stealing his pack of cookies away and cradling them against his chest so the other's wandering hands wouldn't be able to steal anymore. "Talk about our boyfriends? What's there to talk about?" he asked, quirking his brow.
"Oh you know," he said, waggling his eyebrows. "I've heard Riku is a sex god descended down from heaven to spread the joys and pleasure of his talents," he said with a grin, although he kept eyeing the cookies Sora was so determined to keep to himself.
"I wouldn't know," the younger replied, crawling across his bed to slip the package underneath it to keep it away from the blonde's junk food loving hands. When he came back to sit beside Demyx, he was met with a look of pure awe, as if his friend couldn't believe what he had told him. Honestly, was it that hard to believe that there was someone in the world who wouldn't give in to the silverette's tactics within the first few days? Admittedly he almost given in the first night they had met but so what? That was forever ago. Before Riku started acting like a proper man who could keep his dick in his pants.
"What?" he asked after the sitar player continued to stare at him for several minutes, the silence in the room starting to bug Sora out a little bit.
"You mean…you haven't let him fuck you silly yet? Pound you into the mattress? Taken you for a romp? All that good stuff?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. At the rather annoyed look he received from the brunette, he could tell he wasn't joking. "Sora! That's amazing! I mean he normally gets into his play toy's pants within the first week! I mean, how could you deny that?" he asked, leaning forward like a schoolgirl expecting a life-changing secret.
Sora could only stare at him for a long minute, eyebrows knitted together in slight anger. Play toy? He was definitely not a play toy. Demyx seemed to finally have realized his words when a look of realization passed over his face, his expression becoming serious; for once.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that you were a play toy. I honestly think you've surprised everybody. This is one of the longest relationships any of us have seen him in. And on top of that, you've managed to keep him celibate the whole time? That is a huge surprise. Forgive me, I didn't mean to make you think otherwise," he said before that all too familiar silly grin appeared on his face. "Now that we've had that discussion, you have to tell me that you've at least done something right?" he asked.
He gave him a skeptical look for a moment, unsure of how to handle the sudden change in his demeanor. He had never seen Demyx so serious before. And from what he could gather from everyone else who seemed to know the blonde, they hadn't either. It was weird knowing that he had just seen a rare side of his friend; more than weird even.
"We've kissed. And hold hands. But that's it. I mean sometimes he'll leave a hickey that can be covered when we're just goofing off. But I never let him get farther than that," he told him. He slid his knees up to his chest, arms wrapped around them securely as they talked.
Demyx gave him a grin, flopping to lie on his back as he looked up at him. "I remember mine and Zexion's first kiss. It was the most awkward thing in the world. But I could swear that it was the most magical kiss too. I just…knew that after that, I had no worry about how our relationship would go," he said, a fond smile on his face now. Sora had to admit it was nice to see Demyx looking so fond of his memories with his boyfriend. Sora just knew that they would stay together for a long, long time.
"Our first kiss was…sweet. We first met at a graduation party my friend dragged me too. From the way he acted, I never thought he could be so sweet. But…he waited until our fourth date to actually try to kiss me. It was sweet," he said with a small smile.
"All the way until the fourth date? Wow." he replied, blinking his eyes at Sora for a moment. "Did you see stars?" he asked with a grin, knowing from the small blush that was slowly appearing on the brunette's face that he had at least felt something when they first kissed.
"It was more like the cosmic universe," he muttered, the blonde starting to laugh at this statement. "Shut up!" he pointed, watching as his friend began to roll around on the bed in his laughter. Sora's lips slowly twitched up into a smile, hand moving to cover his mouth to keep himself from laughing. But when Demyx rolled off the bed and onto the floor, he couldn't help but burst out in laughter, leaning over the edge of the bed.
"Are you okay?" he asked when his laughter began to die down.
Demyx was down to chuckling, grinning up at the brunette. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'd be even better if a certain someone gave me an Oreo…" he told him, grinning up at the suddenly sour face of the Oreo hoarder.
"Only if you promise to never utter a word about what I said to anyone. Or sing it in a song on your sitar," he said, smiling in triumph at the unhappy pout that appeared on his face at the conditions.
"Fine…" he grumbled, perking up when Sora crawled to the other side of the bed and fished an Oreo out of the package. He came back and dropped it into the other's awaiting hands, soon lying on his stomach as he watched Demyx eat the cookie happily.
"You know…you remind me of a child," he said with a grin.
"Hey, Zexy said that to me before too! But you remind me of a child too! Especially with that silly grin on your face," he said, watching as the brunette wiped it from his face.
"What?! I'm nothing like a child!" he pouted, glaring down at the blonde for a moment.
"And I'm sure that pout doesn't make you look childish at all," a deep voice broke into the conversation, both looking towards the door to see the silverette back with books in one hand, a drink in the other.
Sora perked up when he saw the drink, looking up at the other with a grin. "Is that a java chiller?" he asked, excitement in his voice.
"Mm…I don't know. I do smell a bit of hazelnut and coffee," he said, setting his books down on his bed as he took a sip, pretending to moan at the taste. "It's definitely a java chiller," he said with a grin.
"That's just mean!" the younger pouted, smile appearing again when his boyfriend walked across the room and handed it over to him. He grinned happily, sipping at the drink with hum of satisfaction. After a moment, he paused, looking at the silverette hovering over him. "Hey, aren't you supposed to be in class right now?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
He grinned, moving to sit beside the brunette, avoiding the blonde still on the floor. "My teacher got sick halfway through class so it go cancelled. So I decided to be the best boyfriend imaginable and surprise this cute little brunette with his favorite drink from his favorite place," he said with a smirk, blue eyes narrowed at him for a moment.
"Is that so?" he asked, eyebrow raised as Riku continued to smirk at him. The sexy smirk on Riku's lips made him smile and he tackled the silverette into a hug with a bright laugh. "Thanks!" he finally said with a grin, taking another sip from his drink as they lay on his bed comfortably. He shifted so that he lay on his back, head resting on Riku's stomach as Demyx sat up on the floor.
"Ewwwww! Lovey dovey stuff!" he cried out, face scrunching up.
"As I recall, I've seen more than just lovey dovey stuff with you and Zexion the first day we even met," Sora said, raising an eyebrow.
Demyx just wore a grin on his face, shrugging his shoulders. "Yeah…we forgot new kids were moving in that day…." he mumbled, a small blush on his face. "But anyhow, I'm gonna go Sora. Don't forget tonight's show," he said, practically skipping out of the room after grabbing all his books off the floor.
"Show?" Riku asked, raising an eyebrow.
"He means open mic night. Why don't you come tonight?" he asked, rolling onto his stomach as Riku moved to lie on his side.
"Mm…tempting but I'd rather not. As nice as it is to have an open mic night in the first place, I'd rather not listen to amateurs singing their hearts and souls out," he said, giving the brunette a shrug after receiving a rather unhappy look. "Sorry babe, I just don't like open mic nights."
"Well, do you at least have an idea for what you would like to do for our date tomorrow?" he asked, kicking his feet as they talked.
"I do. But we're only going if you have all your final project ready for next week," he told him, his expression stern. That was the good thing about Riku; he made sure Sora got all his projects down before they went out on a date. Next week was finals week and because of his boyfriend, he had gotten everything printed and mounted already. He was happy to know he could relax about that and just study for the actual tests.
"I finished them. They're in the closet if you want to look at them," he said, taking another sip of his java chiller, humming once more. Oh how he loved these things. Especially when he ate Oreos with them. Speaking of which…the brunette reached underneath his bed to grab his pack of his favorite cookie while the silverette rolled off the bed to go look at his projects.
As he munched, he watched Riku quietly scrutinize his work, a little nervous about what he would think. Sure he was only in his first quarter but he didn't want to totally suck at what he hoped to do for the rest of his life.
"These are great Sora. Not bad for your first quarter here," he said, smiling at the brunette. Sora let out a small sigh of relief glad to know Riku thought he was at least somewhat talented in graphic design.
"What about your final projects? What photos are you going with?" he asked, nodding towards the ten he had lined up on a string in front of his bed, away from his wall of his favorite photographs.
"I was thinking about going with the sixth and ninth ones. Those seemed to give my teacher the most reaction," he said, setting Sora's project back down and closing the door for him. "By the way, I have something to ask you during break," he said, looking at his brunette boyfriend who was currently dipping his Oreo into the java chiller.
His hand paused, looking up at Riku with curiosity on his face. "What is it?" he asked.
"What are you doing for that one week we have in between quarters?" he asked, taking a seat on his bed now.
Sora thought for a long moment, his cookie sticking halfway out of his mouth in the process. "Well…" he said after finishing it off. "I think mom said something about buying me a train ticket and I could go home that way for at least four days," he said, trying to remember if that really was what she had decided to go with instead of driving here to pick him up. "Why?"
"Well…you remember when we talked about how my mom missed the beach? We were talking the other day and I think we might head up there for two days. Would you mind asking your mom if it's all right if we stay at your house for the night?" he asked.
"Sure. I'm sure she won't mind. That and she has been bugging me to bring you home with me," he muttered, continuing to finish off his drink. "So, what're we doing for our date tomorrow?" he asked, hoping the silverette would spill the beans so he would know what to wear.
But all he received was a smirk in answer, huffing slightly. "Come onnnnn, I want to know. I don't want to wear something inappropriate," he pouted, his boyfriend continuing to smirk and look away.
"No no, you'll see. Besides, I think you look dashing in anything you wear. Especially when you wear that giant sweatshirt that swallows you. You look simply adorable," he said, nodding to the one he just happened to be wearing at the moment.
The brunette rolled his eyes, shaking his head. "Sometimes you sound so mean," he pouted, sucking his java chiller empty and throwing the container into the trash can.

The place was beautiful. It really was. The Shooting Star was one of the most beautiful and classy restaurants Sora had ever been to. The walls were coated in a beautiful burgundy color with silvers accents along the top and bottom, much like the rococo period. All the tables had a sheer silver fabric as the tablecloth, each flower pedestal around the room adorning the same material as the tables. The only other colors adorned in the restaurant were light oranges and yellows.
The only bad thing about the entire experience was that Sora felt seriously underdressed. He had worn a white dressy shirt, yes, but he had worn one of his dark wash jeans and old converses. "Why didn't you tell me to change into better pants?" he whispered as they waited for the hostess to come back from checking what areas were open.
"Because I think you look sexy in that outfit. And if they have a problem with it, then we'll go somewhere else. It's not a big deal," he said, leaning down and gently nuzzling against Sora's head. "And you know…I've always liked those jeans on you," he added.
Sora felt himself blush slightly, his grip on Riku's hand tightening slightly. "Riku…quit trying to woo me. You did that a while ago," he said softly, smiling to himself.
"Oh really now?" he asked with a grin, the brunette blushing a bit darker. "So you love me?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
The brunette paused, mouth gaping at him. "N-Not love exactly! M-My feelings aren't that strong yet!" he cried out, hand flying to cover his mouth.
"Then I'm not done wooing you," he said, giving Sora's hand a gentle squeeze. The younger could only blush, following after the hostess once she came back. She seated them in a rather private corner, handing the two menus before leaving them alone, water already set on the table for them to drink before they could give their real orders.
"Hey Riku…I know this might be rude to ask but how do you afford all our dates? Don't they get expensive, especially since we've been going on one every week?" he asked, watching his boyfriend over his menu.
The silverette looked up, smiling at Sora. Really, it was one of his most charming smiles, one he used whenever he didn't want Sora to pry into something but he was going to tell him anyway. He had learned what it meant a few weeks ago when he began asking about his brothers. Apparently he didn't get along with all of them very well. And again last night when he had remember to tell him Yazoo wanted to talk to him and he asked if he had any idea.
"When my dad got promoted, he started making a lot of money. But a few years ago, he started neglecting his family to work and get more money. His way of making up for it is to send us money every week when he gets paid. He sends more than enough for our dates. I actually have a ton left over every time. Only recently have I been spending a lot of money. On a certain cute brunette who I've been wooing," he said with a grin.
Sora blushed once more, sticking his tongue out at him. "Well then, I say you've been putting it to good use," he said with a happy grin, the silverette grinning back at him.
"I think I have been too," he said, looking over the menu. "Although, I would gladly give up the money if he would just spend a little more time at home," he said softly.
The brunette looked up at him, smiling softly. "I know…I wished my father would spend more time with us… But then when he and my mom got divorced, I knew it wouldn't happen. He tries to make up for it by sending us big checks on holidays and birthdays. And he's paying for my school tuition," he said.
"I thought your brother lived with him?"
"He does, but that doesn't mean he sees him a lot," he said, deciding what he wanted off the menu and setting it down. "My dad works a lot too. After the divorce, he didn't have to worry about having to come home to family members who wanted his attention. And Roxas decided to move in with him his junior year. I guess my dad just didn't get used to having someone waiting for him at home again," he said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Ah, I see. Your brother must get lonely then," he said, frowning slightly.
"Nah, he invites Axel over all the time. They have…fun a lot," he said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Mm, you mean the kind of fun I hope to be having soon enough?" he asked with a grin and a raised eyebrow.
Sora raised his own eyebrow, sticking his tongue out at him. "Oh shush. You've been earning trust, yes, but I'd like a little more time…before we do…that. Y-You have to understand Riku. I've never…done it. So I get nervous just thinking about it," he said softly, looking down at the table. When he looked up, he saw a look of gentleness on Riku's face.
He had never seen that look before. But it seemed to calm him greatly. "Sora…I'll wait for as long as you want me too. If it scares you that much, we won't try it until you know you're ready," he told him softly, reaching across the table and gently running his hand over the other's cheek.
Sora smiled at him, raising a hand and setting it on top of Riku's own pale one. "Thanks Riku…I really appreciate it," he told him softly, letting his hand fall as a waitress walked up to them, a knowing little smile on her face.
"Hello, my name's Jenna and I'll be your waitress this evening. What can I get for you two?" she asked, pad out and ready to write. The two ordered their meals, Riku getting a filet while Sora opted for a chicken Alfredo dish, the waitress scurrying off to put it in. As conversation had gone since their very first date, everything went smoothly, the flow nice and easy. The food was delicious, so delicious that Sora had to declare it both after his first bite and when he finished his dish completely. Riku only smiled at him, nodding his head in agreement.
After the bill was paid, Riku stood and took his hand, swinging their arms as they slowly began to walk out of the restaurant. "Mm, that was a wonderful dinner," he said, practically skipping as they moved down the sidewalk.
"It was. I've never been there before. I just took Yazoo's advice and went. I'm glad to know that you liked it," he said, pausing in front of a flower shop. "I still need to get your rose for today's date. You know today's our eleventh date?" he asked the brunette, watching as realization came over his face. Really, the brunette could be such a numbskull. But he loved that about him.
"That's right! Last time I got ten roses. They were beautiful. But if you keep this up, our room will be full with flowers. We won't be able to move around!" he said, although he gave little protest as he was pulled into the shop. As the silverette purchased the rose, he turned and in a dramatic gesture, bowed and held out the rose to him.
"For you my lovely," he said, grinning up at him. Sora smiled, taking the rose and then letting the other take his free hand.
"Thank you. It's beautiful like all the other ones you gave me," he said, a silly grin now on his face. He just couldn't help it, not when Riku could make him this happy. The silver haired male was just so perfect for him. At least, he was proving himself to be. But Sora couldn't let his hopes get high, not when he was only in his first quarter of collage. He still had a long life ahead of him. He was perfect for him now, but who knew about later?
When they reached the campus, Riku was about to let Sora continue on to their dorm room by himself but instead, Sora stayed, looking up at him with a look of concentration, thinking for a long moment. Riku could only give him a questioning look, waiting for the brunette to say something.
"Riku…I…I don't want our date to end yet. I…may not be ready for…the final step but I'm willing to try other things," he told him softly, blue eyes focusing on his boyfriend's face to watch for his reaction. He almost laughed at the look of pure surprise on his face, giving his hand a squeeze to bring him back to the world. "Is that…okay?" he asked him softly.
"O-Of course it's fine!" he said, pulling Sora up against him and lifted his chin up to kiss him softly. "Sora…you don't know how happy it makes me feel to know that you trust me at least this much," he told him softly, smiling as he took the small hands on his chest into his own and lifting them, kissing the knuckles on each hand. "Shall we go in then?" he asked him softly.
Sora nodded his head, the two slowly starting to make their back to their dorm room together for the first time. He was more than nervous about what he had just given Riku permission to do, but he did trust him not to go further than he was allowing him to. And…he would finally help the other get rid of a bit of that sexual tension he'd been building up.
When they reached their room, Riku drew Sora into one of the most gentlest kisses he had ever given him. The brunette relaxed enough to let the silverette draw him against him firmly, arms wrapped around his back securely but not tight enough to frighten the poor boy away. He kept the kiss soft, gentle, only allowing his tongue to run along Sora's lips when he felt his hands resting on his chest, fingers slowly curling around the fabric of the older male's shirt.
Slowly, he let his lips open to allow Riku entrance, the feel of a tongue moving through his mouth a bit strange. But after a few slow and exploring rubs, he let his tongue gently glide over the younger's, urging him to participate. Sora took a moment before he allowed the urging to coax his tongue into play, a small moan escaping him as their appendages brushed against one another's sensually.
He knew from all the time before when Riku had tried to seduce him that the man was good at it but there was just something different about this time. He was gentle and slow…and caring. But after dating for the past three months, he could honestly say he wasn't surprised. The older boy was just so sweet to him and surprisingly, he wasn't angry at the silverette for giving him no other choice but to go out with him.
Caught up in both the kiss and his thoughts, Sora hadn't noticed that his boyfriend was slowly moving them towards his bed, gasping when his knees hit the edge of it and he fell backwards, a hand gently guiding him to lie down. Before he had much time to think on it, he felt lips on his own once more, moaning softly as hands began to move over his body carefully before one paused over the crotch of his jeans. He let out a startled gasp as it began to rub him gently, Sora's body shaking from the sudden spark of pleasure that was coursing down his spine.
He moaned out as the other male continued to rub him, feeling himself already straining in his pants. The brunette couldn't help it, not when he was finally going past the barrier that he had always set for him and his boyfriends in any relationship. Never had he let it get this far. His heart was already pounding wildly against his chest because of his nerves.
Although the pleasurable sucking on his neck helped to direct his attention elsewhere, quiet little moans mixing with soft pants. Slowly, he let his blue eyes flutter shut, chest rising and falling as Riku's mouth moved to a different spot on his neck, hands slowly beginning to unbutton the shirt covering his chest. After the last button came undone, the shirt fell open, allowing the silverette to see the brunette's tan chest for the first time. Well, with permission at least. He smiled, hands moving along it slowly, getting a feel for how soft his boyfriend's chest was before he moved his head down to a pink bud and took it into his mouth.
Sora let out a surprised moan, eyes snapping open before starting to slide closed once more. It was strange, feeling the other's tongue lapping at it and circling it, coating it in his saliva. It was even stranger that he could feel the bud hardening in his boyfriend's mouth. But it didn't stop the moans that were escaping him, the silverette's hands holding him by his waist as he moved on to the younger's other nipple once he was satisfied with the treatment of the first one. Sora's mouth remained open as he moaned out, his nipples hard and a little red from the constant treatment.
All while Riku was doing this, his hand had been rubbing at the brunette's cock through his pants, pulling back from the nub with only a string of saliva to connect them before he looked down at his panting boyfriend. Sora expected to see him grinning like an idiot from getting him in such a state but that wasn't the look he saw. What he saw was the same face Riku had on him when he was studying his photographs, studying his work and taking in every bit of detail he could so that he could commit it to memory. It only made the brunette blush even more, surprised to feel the other's hands undoing his pants even while he continued to look at his face.
It wasn't long before his pants were wiggled off his body, Riku gently stroking him through his boxers and making his boyfriend mewl. After a few minutes, the silverette gently pulled the other's boxers down to his knees, watching as his erection sprang up now that it was free. This only had the brunette's face covered in red, gulping slightly as he looked up at Riku.
Before the other moved on, he gently leaned down and kissed Sora's lips, hands gently stroking his sides. "Calm down," he whispered, leaning down and kissing his neck. "I promise it's nothing to be embarrassed about," It was like the silverette could sense how nervous Sora was. He knew he had never let anyone get this far before in a relationship and he could remember the first time he had ever let someone get this far. He knew to take it easy and let Sora know that he had nothing to be afraid about or ashamed of. This was a beautiful thing and he would make sure he knew that by the end of the night.
After Sora's slight shaking had stopped, he moved back down to his erection, gently stroking it and making the other moan out from the direct contact. He did this a few times before he leaned down, surprising Sora as he took the head into his mouth, Sora's moans only getting louder. This time Riku allowed the smallest of grins to turn the corners of his lips up,
As Riku gently began to suck, Sora's hands grabbed onto the bed sheets tightly, moaning out with his eyes closed. He had never felt this kind of pleasure before and he knew that he needed to keep his voice down. These walls weren't exactly the thickest. He didn't want one of their neighbors complaining to him tomorrow about the noise. One, it was embarrassing, and two, he didn't want to see the sly grins on their faces. Everyone had been dogging him from the beginning about not letting Riku have his way with him yet.
He gasped when the other began to take in more, his back arching off the bed slightly as his body shook from the sudden jolt of pleasure moving through him. He felt the other's hands stroking his thighs gently, pushing them a little farther apart as his mouth stopped at the base of the brunette's cock, feeling the head hitting the back of his boyfriend's throat. Holy fuck goddamn fucking—Sora had never felt something like this before in his life. It had his back completely off the bed, hands nearly tearing at his sheets while his whole body shook in pleasure. He didn't know how Riku did it but god damn he loved it.
He could feel the other's lip smirking around his cock but he didn't care right now. He wasn't even able to focus on how embarrassed he felt from his body's responses. Moans filled the room as Riku began to bob his head, making Sora's body tingle every time Riku's mouth engulfed his cock, his body becoming unbearably hot after a few minutes. Sora was engrossed in everything about this ordeal. The warm heat surrounding him as it encased his erection over and over, the friction the edges of Riku's mouth made as he bobbed his head, the sucking noises that intermingled with his moans, the way the bed slightly creaked from their motions, the way the silverette's hands gently moved over his thighs as if telling him everything would be alright. It was driving him crazy and he new it wouldn't be much longer before he came.
All the heat was building up in the pit of his stomach, gathering there as his boyfriend moved his head even faster. Suddenly, a strong sensation moved through him, going up his spine and down through his legs and making his toes curl. His back arched up once more, body shaking as his hands tightened their grip on the sheets. His eyes saw stars and before he knew it, he was panting heavily, body trembling as if to get the last waves of pleasure out.
He stared up at the ceiling, his view suddenly being blocked as Riku crawled up, licking his lips before leaning down and kissing him gently, allowing their lips to touch as the brunette caught his breath. The silence that blanketed them was comfortable; feeling the silverette gently lay beside him and kissing the top of his head. When he spoke, his found his voice a bit shaky and still trying to recover from its use. "Y-You're really good at that," he managed out, feeling Riku smiling against his head.
He didn't want to admit that he had gotten a lot of practice over the years. He felt as though he might have been a disappointment to the brunette for being so promiscuous over the years for multiple reasons, reasons he didn't want to talk about right now. All he could do was hold the other gently and kiss his head over and over. Even though he hadn't been the one to receive any pleasure, he was in a bit of a high. He hadn't thought the brunette would ever let him get this far. Before Sora could make any mention of Riku not getting anything, the silverette was able to lull him into a comfortable sleep.

"Oh, I'm so proud of my little baby!" Aerith cried as she practically choked her son in a hug. They were a funny sight at the train station as several women laughed softly at the behavior while a few men chuckled as they walked by. It didn't look like anyone else was having such a passionate greeting as Sora was and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed no matter how happy he was to see his mother again.
"Mom, please, you're choking me," he managed out, the women loosening her grip just enough so that he could breathe but kept her hold tight.
"It's been three whole months since I've gotten to see my little baby boy and he comes back to tell me he got all A's on his finals! I'm just the happiest mother alive!" she cried, finally letting go and ruffling his hair. "Let's go get some ice cream to celebrate, I'll even let you get extra toppings!" she said, Sora following along behind her with his bag over his shoulder. It wasn't like he needed a lot of clothes for four days. "So, what day will Riku and his mother be coming?" she asked, a grin on her face as they climbed into the car.
He rolled his eyes, throwing his bag into the back seat. "Tomorrow afternoon. They're only staying one night okay? So don't get any bright ideas," he said, wrinkling his nose at his mother.
"Mhm, sure. I hope you and Riku don't mind sharing a room though. I turned the second guest bedroom into a studio for me," she said, trying to hide her grin that time but failing miserably.
"Mom. I know you're excited I'm dating someone again but could you leave it alone?" he asked, pouting at her.
She grinned, laughing softly at her son. "Yeah okay. Sorry dear. But I really did give myself a studio to work with. It's much cheaper having one at home than having to rent one out," she said, turning into the main road to head towards the ice cream shop. "And now that I'm having that show in the art museum, I've got to work twice as much as before. But it's been bringing me in a bunch of money. They bought the three pieces I took as an example and are paying me to make more. I'm sure they'll sell them for higher prices but I don't mind," she chatted away happily.
Sora smiled, listening to his mother. He loved when she was happy. He had always thought she deserved to be happy and now that things were looking up for her artwork, she definitely sounded much happier than before. "That's great mom," he said, looking at her as she beamed, pulling into the parking lot for the ice cream shop. "So…how much ice cream are we talking about here?" he asked with a grin, Aerith laughing happily as they climbed out and went inside.

Sora was nervous: extremely and extraordinarily nervous. Here he was at the train station, his mother sitting beside him on the bench as they waited for Riku's train to come in. Today was it. The day Riku would be bringing his mother and they'd be staying the night at his house. It was only one night. He could handle it. But he couldn't stop thinking about how nervous he was to meet Riku's mother. Riku seemed to have no problem meeting Aerith, he charmed his way into her heart the day they met. But Sora wasn't as charming or dashing as Riku and definitely couldn't make that kind of impression in a heartbeat. It was driving him insane that he didn't know what he was going to do.
"Sora, dear, calm down. It's not that big of a deal. Besides, you've only been dating for what, three months? No need to feel so nervous unless you think your relationship is that serious," his mother said, eyeing him as she waited for his answer.
"Mommm, it's not that serious yet but I can't help it. I've never gotten to this point in a relationship before and I've only ever met parents of friends. It's a little easier to meet someone's mother when you're only friends. Then there are no expectations of you or worries about how you think they want you to act and be. I mean, I know I should be myself but what if she doesn't like me as myself or she thinks I'm not good enough for her son or she hates me enough to try to drive me away? There are so many possibilities!" he cried, groaning as he leaned back and stared up at the ceiling.
"Oh jeez Sora, calm down. What if she likes you and thinks you're just the sweetest, most adorable boy she's ever met and thinks you two should just get married?" she asked with a grin, Sora rolling his eyes at this.
"Mom…aren't most parents pretty protective when their children are dating someone and it's it the last thought in their minds for them to get married?" he asked, raising and eyebrow as she grinned cattily at him.
"Oh no, if I could have my way, I would force you two to get married right away. You just make a darling couple!" she grinned, patting his shoulder. "And I'm sure you would have lovely babies too."
Sora blanched at this, staring at his mother in startled surprise. "I can't have babies!" he cried, covering his face in embarrassment. "And you're the only mother crazy enough to try to force marriage on her own son!"
The next time he looked out at her, he paled, watching her grin grow wide. "Oh, so you're the girl of the relationship? Tell me dear…just how far have you gone?" she asked, leaning closer to hear her son. "I have to know if I need to give you the whole birds and the…birds conversation."
Sora groaned again, face still hidden behind his hands. "Mom, can we please let it go?" he asked, peeking out just to see her pouting. "Please?" he asked again, her pout remaining. "For now?"
"Fine. For now. But you'll still have to tell me. I have a good feeling I'll have to give you the birds and the…birds conversation for this relationship," she said, her grin appearing again. "But going back to our conversation earlier…what do you mean by yet?" she asked.
"What? What conversation?"
"You said, 'Mommm, it's not that serious yet but I can't help it'." The older woman said, mimicking her son's voice.
Sora blinked, watching her gaze expectantly at him, biting his lower lip. "Well…" he started, unsure of how to continue. "I just think that Riku's different from Leon or Axel. He kept driving me crazy until I agreed to go out with him and as soon as I did, he started acting like a perfect gentleman. He never pushes me to do anything I don't feel comfortable with…he always surprises me and he's there to comfort me if I'm having a tough day… He throws away everything he needs to do if I'm upset just to have someone to talk to and he takes me out to do things I've never thought of doing. Our second date he took me to ballroom dancing lessons," he told her, feeling as though he was spilling his heart out to his mother about his relationship. He didn't really like confessing all these to Demyx since the other wasn't serious very often.
Aerith smiled at her son gently, giving a small nod. "He sounds amazing sweetheart. You sound like you really like him and I can see why you would expect this relationship to become serious. But don't count it completely okay?" she asked him softly.
"But I thought you supported this relationship more than a hundred percent," he said confused.
"I do honey…but…I know from experience that you shouldn't expect too much in a new relationship. He sounds absolutely perfect for you and I'm glad that you're happy...I just want you to remember to not be too hasty okay?" she said, gently cupping Sora's cheek for a minute before brushing her fingers through his hair. "But you better try your hardest to make sure you're both giving your all if you really want to make sure you want to continue dating him."
"Yeah, I know. I'm not being too hasty. I know better than that. I'm careful about people and it took a while for him to really earn my trust," he admitted.
"That's my boy. Now then, I think it's a good time to end this conversation because the train's just now coming in," she said with a smile, nodding her head towards the platform. "Now, go greet him with a kiss!" she declared with a grin, Sora rolling his eyes as he stood, waiting patiently for the other to get off.
It took a few minutes before they opened the doors, lines of people climbing off. He smiled when he saw Riku, the silverette smiling right back as he began to walk towards him, immediately scooping the brunette up in a hug, kissing him gently before he set him down again. "I apologize in advance."
"What? What for?" he asked, blinking when a whole group of silverettes appeared from out of the train, gaping in surprise.
"My brothers heard about the trip with mom and they wanted to come too." he said, sighing. "But they're getting a hotel. I made them promise," he said to ease some of Sora's worry.
"You have a lot of brothers," he said, watching as they approached them with an older woman. She was at least a decade older than his mother but that was to be expected with five sons.
Riku chuckled, wrapping an arm around the brunette's waist and keeping him close. "Sora, this is my family. You already know Yazoo, that's Kadaj, Loz, Sephiroth, and then my beautiful mother Maribell," he said, the woman smiling at her son.
"You flatter me honey. I'm Maribell, it's nice to meet you Sora. I'm sorry about the extra luggage. These men are all strong willed so when they set their minds to it, there's no convincing them otherwise," she said, hitting the closest son's, Loz's, chest. "I hope there's enough room in the car if you don't mind dropping them off at the hotel."
"Of course there is. We don't mind at all. So who's all this?" Aerith asked, coming up behind her son. "Oh Riku! It's good to see you again! I've heard you've been keeping my little Sora in line!" she said excitedly, grinning at her son's boyfriend.
"Of course. Can't have him running around wildly can we?" he asked, soon turning to introduce everyone again.
"Well, it's nice to meet all of you! What hotel are you staying at?" she asked. There were only two hotels on the whole island since it was so small so it wasn't like there was a huge worry about where to go.
"The Island Resort," Yazoo spoke up, giving Aerith a courteous nod. "We appreciate the ride ma'am."
"Oh dear, Aerith will do. Calling me ma'am makes me feel old," she chastised lightly before motioning her head towards the luggage cart that was being unloaded. "Now then, go ahead and get all your luggage. I'll bring the car to the front," she said before kissing her son's cheek. "Miss Maribell, would you like to join me? I'm sure we have much to discuss," she asked, the two mothers sharing a grin that made both boys shudder.
As they walked off, Sora sighed to himself, looking up at Riku. "I definitely did not expect that," he told him, resting his head on Riku's shoulder as the other navigated them to follow after his brothers.
"Yeah, I kept it a secret from them but when I started packing last night, they found out. Sorry," he said, glancing down at the other.
"I guess you can't help it. I'm just relieved they're staying at a hotel. We definitely wouldn't have enough room in the house for them. I think my mom bought a guest bed to put in her studio just for your mother," he said. They had gone earlier that week since she had already sold off all the furniture that had been in the room before. It was smaller than the guest bed they used to have but that meant it didn't take too much room out of her studio.
"Oh? Then where will I be sleeping?" Riku asked nonchalantly.
"My room. Mother insists." he said.
"And you don't?"
"Well…no…it's not that I don't want you to sleep in my room but my mom tends to meddle and is really pushing for us to be together," he said, looking up at Riku. "She's very insistent."
"I can tell. What were the plans when we got back to your house?" he asked, stopping in front of the luggage.
"Well, we planned on having lunch first but afterwards we can go out to the beach if you want. Mom wants to have a barbecue tonight for dinner and there's a spot we like to use for that. So we figured we could just go ahead and take everything out when we head out to the beach. And since your brothers are here, a barbecue sounds like an excellent idea," he said with a smile. "Is that okay with you?" he asked.
"Anything with you sounds perfect," Riku answered, grinning at the other. Sora stuck out his tongue at the answer, watching him pick up both his and Maribell's bags, both small of course, before Sora led everyone outside where his mother had already pulled the car up. They had a tough time trying to figure out how to seat everyone in the car. In the end, Aerith and Maribell sat in the front, Sora sat on Riku's lap with Kadaj and Sephiroth beside them in the back while Yazoo and Loz pushed the bags to the side to sit in the trunk.
The ride to the hotel felt awkward and quiet. Most of Riku's brothers gave off a weird air. It was either scary or just…untouchable. Especially Sephiroth who had a mixture of both. It was odd but he knew he had heard the name somewhere before. Sephiroth…Sephiroth...Sephiroth! That was the guy that always made Cloud's mood sour! Leon complained to him about it all the time. Of course it would be his luck that one of Riku's brothers is the man to cause his friend so much grief. Leon would have a field day when he told him that.
After a few minutes, Aerith was pulling up in front of the Island Resort. "Alright you four, come by the house about three thirty and we'll all go to the beach together. Besides, I need some strong men to carry the grill," she said, giving them all a flashy smile.
"Of course. Just have Riku text us the address and we'll arrive right on time," Yazoo said from the trunk as it opened. "Until then," he said, giving another nod as they all grabbed their appropriate bags and went to check into the hotel after closing the trunk.
After that she drove the four of them to the house, chitchatting away with Maribell while Sora continued to sit in Riku's lap. "I kind of wish I could stay here a bit longer," Riku whispered in Sora's ear, making the brunette smile. "Two days and one night is a really short time."
"Mm, well maybe you can stay until the end of break? You'll have to wash your clothes every day but after tomorrow we only have Saturday and Sunday left," he whispered back, glancing at Riku to see his reaction.
"I'll see if I can convince my mother. During breaks she wants the whole family to be together since we're usually busy with school and everything," he said in turn, nuzzling against the brunette's neck. "But I do love the idea. Especially if I'm still allowed to share your room," he added on teasingly.
Sora gave him a look before he began to laugh, hitting one of the arms wrapped around his waist. "Mhm, I'm sure you would," he said as his mother pulled into the driveway.
"Alright, everyone out! I'm making tacos for lunch!" Aerith called as she climbed out and went to the door to unlock it. It only took a few minutes for everyone to be walking through the doorway. Riku carried his mother's bag while Sora took Riku's to his room. When he came out, Riku had settled on the couch while his mother and Maribell where in the kitchen, talking as Aerith began lunch.
Sora sighed as he sat beside Riku, nuzzling against him as an arm wrapped around his shoulders. Now he could finally get a good look at Riku's mother. She was shorter than all her sons, he had noticed that earlier, and she didn't have a hint of silver in her hair. It was more like a platinum blonde that went down to her shoulder blades. She was lithe but had a bright air about her just like his mother. It seemed they were very much alike.
"Noticing where I get my dashingly good looks from?" Riku asked, jolting Sora out of his stare fest.
"What?" he asked, looking back at his boyfriend.
"You were staring so intently I could only assume you were noticing where I got my good looks from," he grinned, Sora rolling his eyes at this.
"Yeah, yeah. Don't be so full of yourself," he said, smacking him in the chest lightly. "Wanna watch a movie or something while we wait?" he asked, stretching out slightly.
"Nah, I'm good with just holding you like this. Besides, I know you have questions about my brothers. Shoot," he said, grinning at the brunette's gaping mouth.
"Okay, fine. What are they like? And why did they want to come? I didn't really get the feeling they were here to meet their baby brother's boyfriend," he said, getting into a comfortable enough position while still being able to see the other's face as they talked.
"Okay…well…Sephiroth is the oldest and he's the most like my father, business-like, kind of cold, and cut off. Loz is the second oldest and the oldest out of the triplets. Yazoo was second and then Kadaj. And then there's me. But to be honest, you would never know that Yazoo, Kadaj, and Loz are triplets. Yazoo is the most mature out of the three and Kadaj kind of never grew out of his rebellious teenage years. And honestly, I don't think Loz made it out of his toddler years," he said with a laugh.
"Loz was the one who really wanted to come today and he wouldn't stop whining unless we made it a family event. Minus my dad of course since he never takes time off work," he told him. "I think Sephiroth is really against being here but he's also really protective of mother."
"You know, I thought I recognized his name and turns out he's always making Leon's boyfriend's mood sour," he said, watching Riku for a minute.
"Who is it?"
"Cloud Strife I believe." he said.
"Ah…Cloud was one of Sephiroth's old boyfriends before he started working. There's a several year age difference but it never really bothered anyone. But when Sephiroth started working full time after he graduated college, he didn't have much time to spend with Cloud. I don't know all the details, I remember them fighting and Cloud calling him a 'possessive, work obsessed demon'. So I think it ended on a sour note," he said with a small laugh.
"Oh. I guess I could see that. It always sucks when relationships end badly," he said, starting to smell the beef for the tacos. His mother made chicken tacos sometimes too and Sora loved them. "What about Yazoo? He has his own restaurant. How'd he get started on that?" he asked.
"Mm…I think it had something to do with father ignoring us for work so he kind of asked for the money to get started on it. It's turned out well though and I don't think Yazoo talks to him anymore other than to pay him back for all the money," he said, shrugging. "But Yazoo and Sephiroth are the only successful brothers so far. Loz keeps changing his major in college so when he would have graduated maybe two years ago, he won't graduate for another two," he said. "And Kadaj…I have no idea what Kadaj is doing. He's very…secretive about his life," he said.
Sora laughed at this, smiling to himself. "But it must be nice to have so many brothers. I miss Roxas a lot. We never really get to see each other. Ever. I mean, we talk on the phone a lot, usually whenever it fits his schedule but it's been a while since we've gotten to see each other," he admitted.
"Yeah, it must be tough for you. I can't imagine being separated from my twin all the time. Maybe whenever he has free time he can come visit you at the dorms," he suggested, kissing the other's temple. "I wouldn't mind letting him have you for one day," he teased.
"Ha. Ha. No offense, but my brother comes before you," he said. "I'll always have family there for me but you…I don't know," he teased right back.
"Ouch, right in the heart. That's where it hurts," he said, pretending to clutch his heart in despair. "Maybe one day I'll be able to hold a firm piece of your heart," he said with a grin.
"Maybe. But we won't know for sure for a long time."
"We can only hope I guess."
"Mhm."
Sora felt ready to fall asleep with how comfortable he was but before he could nod off entirely, his mother called them in for lunch. He was tempted to just ignore her but Riku gently pushed the other up and off of him, standing up and stretching. "Come on. Let's go eat. Afterwards you can take a nap," he said, helping Sora get off the couch before they headed into the kitchen.
"Aw, is my little baby sleepy?" Aerith asked grinning at her son happily.
Sora stuck his tongue out at her, his mother laughing as they all took a seat at the table, Aerith telling Maribell and Riku to dig in firsts. 'Guests are always treated like royalty in the Hikari household' was what she always said. He supposed it was a good policy.
After everyone was done making their own tacos and starting to eat, Maribell spoke up. "So Sora, Riku tells me you're studying graphic design. Do you like it?" she asked, giving the brunette a smile.
He was a bit shocked by the sudden address, looking up at the blonde woman and trying to give a reply as quickly as possible. "Y-Yes. I do. It's really interesting but I can tell that I have a lot to learn." he replied.
She chuckled, nodding her head. "Yes… That is why you're in school after all. Riku also tells me that you're pretty good at it. I'd love to see some of your work some time. I saw some of the paintings your mother has done and I can see where you get your talent. That is, if your work is any good," she said.
Sora glanced at Riku, the silverette giving him a smile to help him calm down a bit. "Y-Yes, I have all my work on my flash drive if you'd like to see it later tonight," he offered, although he was nervous to hear what she would tell him.
"Of course. I have to make sure that my son's prospective future life partner has talent and will help bring bread to the table," she said with a smile, putting extra emphasis on the word 'prospective'. Sora had to rake his brain to remember what the word was before remembering that it meant 'expected'. Holy shit. Expected? She expected him to be Riku's life partner? What had he been telling her?
"R-Right. Um, tonight after we get back from the beach then," he said, looking down at his now empty plate. When had he finished his last taco? It dawned on him that he had dropped the last half of it on the floor, blushing darkly. "I'll get that," he said, immediately standing and getting a few paper towels and some cleaner. He could hear Riku chuckling at him and he gave him a look to warn him. He didn't like having high expectations put on him when he had barely just met the woman. What did she mean by expected life partner?
Trying to steer the conversation away, Riku chimed in. "Mom, did Miss Aerith tell you we were having a barbecue for dinner? We could always ask Sephiroth and the other's to bring some ingredients for it so that the Hikari's aren't paying for everything," he suggested, Sora hoping the woman took the bait.
"Oh, that's awfully sweet of you to offer Riku but you don't have to."
"Oh no, I think it's a brilliant idea. We'll call it a way to make up for bringing extra people along. Besides, Loz and Kadaj can eat a lot," Meribell spoke, leaning on the table and smiling at Aerith. "So would you let us? I could always asked them to bring a few fresh vegetables for kebabs."
"That's a wonderful idea! I wasn't sure if four steaks would be able to stretch between seven of us. But kebabs would make it absolutely perfect!" Aerith said excitedly, clapping her hands together once in excitement.
"Did you need anything else? More drinks, plates?" Maribell asked.
"More drinks might be helpful but we have the paper plates and silverware taken care of. And we have ice out in the freezer so that's okay. What kinds of vegetables do you normally like with your kebabs?"
"Oh, things like bell peppers, garden tomatoes, zucchini…things like that." she said.
"I've never tried zucchini before but it sounds great."
"Well then, I'll make sure that's a priority when my sons bring the vegetables to the house."
"Great, I think I have some kebab sticks in the kitchen somewhere. I'll look before we take off to the beach. But speaking of zucchini, have you ever tried sautéing it?" she asked, completely focused on Maribell now.
"Oh no, I've never thought about trying it. Have you ever tried adding them as a layer in a vegetable casserole? It's positively delicious," she said with a smile, leaning on the table as her own attention was complete stuck on her conversation with Aerith.
Sora felt relieved now that the conversation had steered somewhere else, lightly tapping the other's foot with his own underneath the table and sending him a look asking what he had been telling her.
Riku shook his head and rose his shoulders to show he didn't understand what he was asking, standing up to help clear the dishes. "Thanks for lunch Miss Aerith," he said, the woman giving him a warm smile before continuing her conversation with Maribell that had started to move into healthy recipes.
Sora added in his thanks as well before he and Riku did the dishes and disappeared upstairs in his room. "What the hell have you been telling her?" he asked as soon as they closed his door.
Riku was taken back by this and shrugged, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean? I was just telling her about your work. I think you're really good for a beginner," he said, sitting on the other's bed and leaning back against the headboard.
"She said the word 'prospective' which means expected. Why the hell is she expecting me to be your future life partner?" he asked, hands on his hips as he glared at Riku. He refused to get cornered into a relationship with someone just because it was expected of him. Everything was going well between them but this could definitely be a deal breaker.
Riku groaned at this, hand on his forehead. "That woman…I swear she's out to scare away all my boyfriends," he said, looking back at the brunette. "She does this to any boyfriend she meets, even if it's an accident that we run into each other on the streets. She doesn't believe that I'll ever really settle down with anyone so if I actually have a boyfriend, or a girlfriend, for more than a month, it's like she tries to sabotage it. I think she just gets so excited about my relationship she unintentionally tries to ruin it," he told him, motioning for the brunette to sit beside him.
Sora eyed him wearily before doing as the other wanted, biting his lower lip for a minute. "Are you really that bad? I mean, I know a lot of people, and I mean practically the whole damn college, is surprised that we're still dating. But are you really that bad with dating?" he asked. "Or is it that you got bored easily?"
"I was that bad before we started dating. I guess you could say that I got bored easily with other people but there's just something about you that I just can't help but adore," he said, arm around the brunette and giving him a gentle squeeze. "Don't worry about what she said. She's just amazed that we've been going out for three months. Second longest relationship I've ever had," he said.
Sora sighed, raising an eyebrow up at him. "Okay, but you're going to have to tell her to back up if she starts up with that life partner stuff again. I will not be cornered into staying in a relationship. I want our relationship to be real the whole way through," he said, resting his head against his shoulder once more.
"Yeah, me too." he said, smiling as he rested his head against the other's. "Now, how about we take that nap. But first I need to text your address to Yazoo," he said, pulling his phone out of his pocket and writing it down as Sora told him while adding that they needed to bring the vegetables for the kebab before he sent it. They soon snuggled into each other, Sora's tiredness suddenly coming back, suddenly making him unable to help but fall asleep.
Riku held him as he felt the other's breathing slow down to a natural rhythm, smiling to himself. But he was livid with his mother. He couldn't help but feel as though she was sabotaging the one relationship he wanted to work out. She knew he had liked Sora for a long time. It was just a chance happening he had met him again at the graduation party all those years later. It was a chance happening that he absolutely could not let slip by. He took advantage of it the moment he could and he couldn't explain how happy he was that things were going so well.
He didn't know when the right time would be to tell Sora about this but he didn't think it would be right now. Maybe after they got to a year he could tell him. But now wasn't the time. He didn't want to jeopardize their relationship by freaking the younger out. Sora was already so weary of the reason Riku had wanted to date him in the first place and he didn't want to add fuel to the fire. Even though Sora had begun to trust him more. (Their last date had certainly proven it.)
Sighing, he ran a hand through the other's hair gently, nuzzling against it as he listened the other breath, closing his eyes. He was hoping more than anything in the world that they would end up working out. He didn't want to be one of those silly day dreamers only because he would have this set image of how things would turn out and who knows how it would hurt him later after waiting all these years to finally start dating his little brunette. And he needed to remember to stay away from possessives. Sora may be cute and adorable but he did have a mind of his own. He would go ballistic if he heard Riku ever refer to him as 'his' seriously. So many things depended on what would happen in the future and he needed to stop thinking about it.
Unfortunately for him, he just couldn't seem to stop thinking about all the possibilities, outcomes, things he needed to stay away from, and thing he needed to improve on. His mind was full of thoughts and never even realized when Sora had awoken an hour later, not saying a word just to watch his face and figure out what he was thinking.
