Always All Ways: Fall's rhapsodyChapter 4) Hold me-----------------------
Sora woke up, looked around, and was going to get up when he felt a hand on his stomach. It was Riku's, he was still asleep. Thinking this would be the only chance to get this close to him he decided to stay there a little bit longer. He was going to thread his fingers with Riku's but then felt some movement. He pretended to sleep to see if Riku was getting up or just moving around.
"God damn it." Said Riku as he sat up. "It's too early to be waking up… hmmm looks like he's still asleep."
Riku got up off the bed to get ready for school, something Sora forgot about. As Riku was walking into the restroom Sora opened one eye to get a look at Riku's backside. Jesus, he's got a cute butt. He thought. When Riku went into the restroom he got off the bed to call Roxas and tell him where he was. He looked through his backpack, got his phone, looked at the date, and panicked.
"OH CRAP! I FORGOT ABOUT SCHOOL!" he was so excited yesterday about sleep over at Riku's house he forgot to pack school clothes.
Riku exited the restroom changed, and looking sexier then yesterday. When he closed the door he saw Sora on the floor sad, and distressed. "Oh Sora, you're awake… what's wrong?" he asked walking over to the boy.
"I forgot to bring school clothes."
"Oh… don't worry about that, you can borrow some of mine." Riku then walked to his closet to find something small enough to fit his small friend.
"Thank you Riku." Said Sora as he hugged him from behind. "How can I ever re-pay you?"
"I know one way." He whispered.
"What did you say?"
"Oh, nothing." He protested. "Now go take a shower, I'll find something for you to wear in the meantime."
"Ok" said Sora as he finally let go of Riku, and walked into the restroom. When he closed the door he blushed crimson after realizing where and how long he had hugged Riku.
---
Riku found something for Sora to wear, but he thought he wouldn't like it, so he looked for something else just in case. As he was searching, he heard the shower stop and realized there were no clothes in the restroom. He began to have devious thoughts about Sora, until a knocking on the restroom door stopped his imagination from getting any more perverse.
"Um, Riku did you find anything?" asked Sora from the other side of the door.
"Yea, open the door so I can give them to you."
"Um… o-ok." Sora slowly opened the door, as he hid behind it.
Riku walked over to him and handed off his clothes to the shivering innocents. He saw the mirror that was opposite the door, on the other wall. Cute butt. He thought as he closed the door.
---
Roxas was getting ready for school when he realized something; Sora hadn't come to wake him. He was wondering where Sora was, considering he didn't see him after school yesterday. He finished getting ready and then got a phone call. It was Kairi.
Hey Kairi, what's up?" asked Roxas not bothering to say hello, or good morning.
"Hey…um, do you know where Sora's at?"
"No, I thought you knew."
"Nope, I'm going to stop by his house before I get to school, maybe he overslept or is sick."
"Ok, but Sora never over sleeps."
"Yes I know… well see you at school."
Roxas hung up the phone, now more worried about his little crush. He finished getting ready and walked out the door as he headed for the school. He was closest to the school, that's why he always overslept, and that's why he didn't ask Kairi if he could go with her to Sora's house. He walked in to the school and headed for the rooftop. He got there and saw no one was sitting at the table, so he just plopped down and waited.
He was getting bored of waiting so he got out his sketch book and began to draw, considering he didn't finish his art homework. He was drawing for a good ten minutes when someone moved his elbow and helped him create a think, unwanted line across his paper. He turned around to attack the person who did that, but stopped when he saw it was Sora.
"Look what you did!" He said as he smiled angrily and held up the page at Sora.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Apologized Sora as he saw the giant line. "I didn't mean to do that, I thought you were just making your circle papers."
"Nope… but no mater, I'll just erase it." Roxas stated as his anger flew away faster then a jet.
Sora sat down next to Roxas looking around. "Hey, where is Kairi?"
"She went to your house to see if you were ok. Where were you yesterday?"
"I slept over at a new friend's house." Said Sora with a smile.
Roxas looked up at him and smiled big. "A new friend? What's his name? where dose he live? How dose he look? Is he a he or a she?" Roxas was so happy for Sora.
"His name is Riku, I don't know where he lives I wasn't paying attention at the streets, you'll find out, and he is a he."
Roxas was so excited; he couldn't believe that Sora finally got a new friend. They started talking, as they wait for Kairi to come, about what Sora did at Riku's house. Sora talked about everything; the pool, the house, Riku's room, the vanilla scented bathroom, the kitchen, everything. When Sora was done talking about what happened when he woke up Kairi scared Roxas.
"Hi guys." She said as she sat in front of Sora and Roxas.
"What the hell Kairi!?" Roxas hated being sneaked up on, except by Sora.
"So Sora, where were you yesterday?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"Well you already know, you went to my house."
"How do you know?" asked Kairi loosing her smile.
"Roxas told me."
"Damn you Roxas." She said as she shot Roxas a sarcastic evil eye.
---
Riku watched Sora dart into the school. "Well Riku," said Sephiroth. "By the looks of it, you are in love with him."
"Yea… I am… but he likes some girl." He looked down.
"Well you never know, he probably said that to protect himself, I mean he only met you yesterday."
"I know… I hope you're right."
"Ok well see you at home; I'm working late tonight so you are walking."
"Alright, bring some dinner, anything will do."
"Ok, bye Riku." Sephiroth drove off, leaving his son to walk into school.
Riku walked in went to his locker and put away his things. He was going to head to the roof top, like Sora told him to do on their way to school, but he didn't know how to get there. He walked around the school, up some stairs, but still no luck. Then he saw it, a door that had rooftop painted on it. He started walking to it, but suddenly the bell rang. He saw people walking through the door, and finally spotted brow, spiky hair.
"SORA!" He yelled to get his attention
"RIKU!" He waved as he said something to Roxas and Kairi
As he saw Sora whisper something into Kairi's ear, and they both started giggling, he thought that must be the girl he likes. "Hey Sora… sorry I didn't come up, it took me forever to find the door, and when I did the bell rang."
"That's ok." Said the boy as he blushed. "You didn't miss anything… Oh sorry I almost forgot; these are my friends; Kairi, and Roxas."
"Hi." Said Kairi and Roxas in unison.
"Hello, um I'm Riku." He said as he tried to hide his glare that was directed at Kairi.
"Ok well I'm going to get to class, see you after school." said Roxas as he kissed Sora on the cheek and ran off to his class.
Sora started blushing, and Riku started to dislike Roxas, even though he barely met him. "Another embarrassing moment brought to you by Roxas" said Kairi as she chuckled. "That's something you have to get used to if you want t hang out with our little sky here, Roxas has the tendency of kissing him, glomping him, carrying him, anything to get this guy to blush. Well I have to go." She walked away to her class.
"Well I guess we better head over to our class." Said Sora as he started walking.
"Is that true what um… Kairi said about Roxas?" Riku asked following behind Sora and daring not to look at him.
"Yea, he started doing that a week after I met him." He said as he smiled at the memories. "It was the only way to get any real emotion out of me back then. It made me mad at first, but then it just started to make me laugh, and blush, and every other feeling except sadness."
Riku finally looked down at Sora and smiled a long with him. I hope I can make him feel everything except sadnessthought Riku.

Music class was easy for Sora and Riku; they knew how to play their instruments, so they didn't need any lessons. They just played what they were feeling and what they wanted to play. Demyx had them play in front of the class before the bell rang, Sora on the violin, and Riku on the guitar. Their Music was amazing together, it was perfect harmony.
After music class was Lunch, Sora walked to the cafeteria to get his lunch and go meet Roxas and Kairi. Riku followed Sora so he could see what the rooftop looked like and to get to know him a little bit better. "Um… aren't you going to hang out with your friends?" asked Sora as he paid for his lunch.
"Yea… I'm going to hang out with you." Riku paid for is and followed Sora some more.
"Well I guess that's true." Said Sora as he giggled at himself.
They walked up some stairs, turned a corner and through the door to the rooftop. Riku looked amazed at how green it was, there were trees and flowers and everything that would normally be found on a rooftop. "amazing." He whispered.
Sora walked to the center table where Kairi and Roxas were. "So do you think Mansex will bust us today?" asked Kairi as she read a book titled Martyn Pig.
"I doubt it, I got excuse notes from the Ninja Lady." Answered Roxas as he flashed the passes at the people and shoved a huge amount of spaghetti into his mouth.
Riku looked at Sora, perplexed at who was the ninja lady, and who was Mansex. "who's the ninja lady and who is Mansex?"
"Oh." Kairi put down her book to explain to Riku who these people were. "Mansex is the school vice principle. His real name is Xemnas, but if you scramble the letters it comes out to be Mansex, and Ninja Lady is the school principle. Her name is Yuffie, but she like's ninja crap so we call her Ninja Lady." Kairi began reading her book again.
Sora finished eating his lunch, a salad with a cheese pizza, and got cookies from a vending machine that was located on the roof. Riku smiled as he saw Sora eat the cookies. Roxas wanted one but Sora almost bit his hand as a warning. Kairi laughed and snuck one away from him and tossed it at Roxas.
"You want one?" Sora asked Riku.
Kari and Roxas looked up shocked. "Did he just offer one to him?" Roxas asked Kairi
"No, I'm fine." Riku said with a smile.
"Do any of you guys want one?"
Kairi and Roxas looked at each other and then took a cookie in amazement. Sora never offered a cookie to anyone. In all the years Kairi has known him, he only asked once and that was when they were kids.
---
The last class of the day, science, was a favorite for Riku, but Sora hated it. Being the second day of the school year, they had to pair up and form lab partners, they could not choose though; the teacher was choosing the partners. A couple of names were called before Sora herd his name. He was hoping he would hear Riku's name, but instead he heard someone else's name…Namine. A couple of other names were called and then Riku was paired with some kid named Pence. After they had their partners all the students sat down on lab stations. The teacher then started talking about science class and how much fun they were going to have. The teacher was a tall man with long blond hair. His name was Vexon, a new teacher.
---
School was over and Sora was waiting for Roxas and Kairi so they could walk home together. Riku was waiting with Sora as to keep him company.
"So how long have you known Kairi?"
"Since I was a child."
"Really?"
"Yea, she was the first friend I ever made."
"And Roxas?"
"I met him a couple month after my dad died."
"How did you meet him?" asked Riku remembering the story of Sora's father.
"Well it was raining and I was at the park that day. My mom tried to get me to smile or something, but couldn't. Then Roxas came up to me and just started asking me all these questions. I wanted him to go away so I answered them as quickly as possible, but he still asked more. Then he grabbed my hand dragged me to a swing and started pushing me on it. From that day on we'd been friends."
"Awesome."
Sora finally saw Roxas and Kairi coming out of the school. "Ok well, I'll see you tomorrow." Said Sora as he walked over to his friends.
Riku didn't say anything, all he did was smile, wave, and walk home.
---
Roxas, Kairi, and Sora were so hungry by the time they got to Roxas' house. They walked in and immediately went to the kitchen. Sora started making a salad for himself, Kairi was getting some cereal, and Roxas was eating left over casserole from two nights ago.
When they were done eating, Kairi left the house and head to her home, Sora stayed to sleep at Roxas' home, as always. Sora called his mom tolled her where he was and she let him sleep over someone else's house again, because she was working late again. Sora and Roxas walked into Roxas' bedroom and turned on the TV.
"Ok so Sora, what kind of movie do you want to watch, scary or funny?" Asked Roxas as he looked over some movie covers.
"Something scary." Answered Sora as he lay on Roxas' bed.
Roxas put on the requested genre of movie. He walked over and turned off the lights then lay down next to Sora. The movie started with an eerie music and a dark corridor, the intro credits came up and the camera was panning and zooming within the corridor, then suddenly something big with red eye's and giant teeth looked to had eaten the camera, and then a neighborhood shown and some little kid's were playing in the street. The movie was almost over. And the scary part had Sora hanging on to Roxas for dear life.
The movie was over, it was 12:38 a.m. and Sora was so scared he didn't want to go to sleep. Roxas got up, with some protest from Sora, and got some blankets. Roxas lay back down on the bed, gave one blanket to Sora and covered himself with the other.
"Um…r-r-Roxas?"
"Yea?"
"Can we share a blanket?" asked Sora as he buried his face in the pillow that he laid on.
Roxas quickly threw off his blanket and covered himself with Sora's. Sora moved closer to Roxas for warmth, and safety. Roxas then put a hand around his friend to comfort him, and feel his warmth.
