AAHH! Here's an update, my friends! This chapter is ridiculously short, I know, but it's almost 1 in the morning on the day after my birthday. Cut me some slack. Anywho, yeah, this is an update. I wanted to update so badly that I messed up my plans for this package. I was going to post Part 2 of Missing You, and then I was going to post a VenVan shot because that's the only pairing I got a vote for on my poll. Yeah, there's a poll asking which pairing you want next. It's on my profile, and it's still open, y'all! Anyways, and after all of THAT, then I was going to post this. But the other two stories aren't ready and you guys haven't heard from me in a while so... Anywho, read on!

Heavy Sleeper, SoRiku (extremely slight)

Sora stood, hacking away at the ropes holding up all the crates. Crates he and Riku were supposed to be getting for Kairi, though he had no idea why. Kairi was always vague about why she needed them, she just did. So here they were, on the island, cutting ropes and retrieving crates.

But Sora knew he wasn't cutting, he was actually just wearing the rope down. His Keyblade couldn't cut for toffee. Which meant he wasn't really making any progress. He sighed, wishing he had a pocketknife. Just then, a light bulb appeared in his head. Riku had a pocketknife! God knows why, but he did, and that's the point. Sora could borrow it from Riku and make quick work of the ropes. With a big grin, Sora turned towards Riku who, to Sora's disappointment, had fallen asleep on the job.

Sora sighed over-dramatically and walked over to his sleeping friend. "Riku," He said, trying to wake him up.

There was no response.

Sora stepped closer, talking a bit louder. "Riku,"

There was still no response.

Sora huffed then walked up to Riku and yelled in his ear, "HEY, RIKU! WAKE UP!"

There was still no response from the sleeping teen.

Is he a heavy sleeper or what? Sora thought absentmindedly. So, after a few moments, Sora had devised several plans he was sure would work. He was going to wake Riku up.

Sora kicked Riku's shoe several times. It didn't work.

Sora poked Riku's arm with his Keyblade. It didn't work.

Sora tugged lightly on Riku's hair and ears. It didn't work.

Sora pinched Riku's cheeks. It didn't work.

Sora sat on him for crying out loud, and it still didn't work.

The younger teen huffed and got up, pacing around. Suddenly, his cell phone rang out on full blast. Sora jumped about ten feet into the air while Riku lay sound as ever, still enveloped in sleep. With a sigh, Sora pulled out his phone and clicked the talk button.

"Hello?" Sora mumbled.

"Sora?" Said person smiled slightly at the voice on the other side of the line.

"Hey, Kairi!" Sora said.

"Hey! How are those crates going?" Kairi asked.

Sora sighed. "Riku fell asleep on me."

"He fell asleep on you?"

Sora blushed. "No… He fell asleep next to a palm tree. Geez."

The teenage girl giggled. "I know. I just wanted to tease you about it. Anywho, I have to go, gotta clean my room. Ugh."

The brunette laughed. "Have fun with that, Kairi."

Kairi grumbled. "Yeah, right. Bye."

"Bye, Kairi," But the girl had already hung up. Sora sighed and put his phone away. He turned to Riku, who was still sleeping.

Sora shook his head and sat down in front of the sleeping teen. "You, my friend, are a very heavy sleeper." Sora mumbled softly.

It was then that Riku stirred. His viridian eyes fluttered open and he yawned. "Geez, Sora…" Riku muttered sleepily. "You don't have to be so loud…"

Sora huffed, taken aback. "What? Loud? No way!"

Riku, almost fully awake now, was thoroughly irritated from being woken up from his nap. "Sora… What did you need?"

Sora huffed again and pointed at the rope behind him. "Pocketknife." He said shortly, a small pout on his face.

Riku sighed and shifted, reaching into his back pocket. "Here," He monotoned, handing the younger teen a small red and silver cylinder with small ridges in it.

Sora gladly took the thing in his hands, examining it for a moment before asking quietly, "Uh… Where's the blade?"

Riku rolled his eyes and reached out, flicking a switch on the handle. A sleek blade flashed out. "When you're finished," Riku said, leaning back against the tree, "Put your thumb on the flat of the blade and push. It should retract."

Sora smiled, content. "Thanks, Riku!" He jumped up and moved over to the rope.

"No problem…" Riku muttered, starting to doze again.

Sora smiled at him, noticing that the silverette was dozing again, and turned to cut the ropes. The knife sliced through it like scissors through paper. It was a surprisingly clean cut, despite the fact that Riku's blade desperately needed sharpening. (A/N: You could even say it was SIMPLE AND CLEAN! :D Ah, sorry, it was a bad joke, I know…)

When Sora turned around, he was greeted by the sound of falling crates and a small yelp coming from his older friend.

Riku had a bewildered expression on his face as he stared at the crates nearby.

Sora just stood there, looking at his friend. "Riku? What's wrong, what happened?" He asked, confused.

Riku kept his eyes on the crates, as if they would bounce up and attack him if he shifted his gaze. "The crates… They landed too close for comfort."

Sora's eyes widened. "I didn't know you were sitting so close to where they would land…"

Riku sighed and stood, brushing the sand off his pants as his gaze remained tied to the crates. "Well, next time, please feel obligated to tell me where they are going to land."

Sora beamed. "Of course! I wouldn't want you getting hurt, you know."

Riku turned to his friend, then to the crates, them back to Sora again. He gave a small smile, a chuckle, and said, "Alright then."

That's that... Again, ridiculously short, but I can't really help that right now. I'll go back and edit it later. *sigh*
