A/N: I seriously cannot believe that we it's already time for chapter four! Well, this one has a mature moment so beware kids.
Sora - Seventeen years old (a couple of months later)
I missed Riku... and this job sucked so I missed him even more. Grumbling at the lack of my boyfriend, I continued to put the products from the box beside my foot onto the right shelf in front of my nose. Tifa used to work this job and had contacted her boss to call in a favor. Now I was working here every day and I'd work here after school in the fall. Thankfully not the weekends, that would just be overkill.
Except for two weeks now? Even if I got back only after the job? Riku wasn't there because his dad had taken him along on one of his business trips to show him how everything worked. Apparently his parents wanted him to take over Mr. Moore's job someday and although Riku wasn't too keen on that part, I knew he'd really wanted to spend some time with his dad considering he was always gone and that didn't allow much time for bonding.
So I'd plastered a smile on my face, told him I'd be fine and I'd miss him and then let him go do that. Since he was always around his dad, we couldn't exactly talk freely either, so sometimes we couldn't even talk like boyfriends would over the phone. That sorta sucked.
We still hadn't come out to our families yet. Tifa knew and for now that was fine. Rinoa was too busy with her new baby and Yuffie was never there since she was at college and Selphie... If I told Selphie, the entire world would know in less then an hour following. Riku wasn't ready to tell his parents yet and considering the way Mrs. Moore was? I couldn't really blame him... I hoped she'd take it better then we thought she would.
Surprisingly, you'd think that after Cloud and Leon explained the mechanics to us, we'd figure we were safe and ready to test it all out... Not. That whole talk had slowed us down in the whole making out process. We still kissed and bumped the occasional grind but now neither of us really tried to do more because... Well, for me, all the information had been a bit terrifying. And worse, I knew that hadn't been the only thing we could do.
So I'd checked. That along with the curiosity of wanting to know if I was attracted to other men. The gay porn I'd found on the internet hadn't been unpleasant, I mean, the men in the video clearly enjoyed themselves and that was good. I had felt a bit hot looking at the scene so I figured, yeah, I'm gay. And then I'd made sure by watching some straight porn and yeah, I'm gay. Women didn't do anything for me, which I wanted to feel weird about for a moment but it was really easy to shrug it off and just go with it. I had Riku and that's all that mattered.
But sex? It was so intimidating because there was so much you could do to pleasure your partner and I felt the need to read up on it first before tackling any of it down. Which is why I kept it to the heated kiss and occasional bump and grind. And I knew Riku was keeping it to that for similar reasons. He wasn't here now though and we didn't get to talk often. He'd be back in about a week... and then I had to tell him that same day that I was going to summer camp. For a month. I'd asked Mrs. Moore if Riku could come but she had other plans, apparently she was taking him on vacation for a week and that was taking place the same time summer camp was. So one day and then another entire month without him.
(after summer camp)
The two hundred and fifty kms per hour train wasn't going fast enough. I hadn't seen Riku in two months! Ever since I'd met him we'd never been apart that long. I'd missed him painfully and at camp I hadn't been able to call him that often. The times that I could though, I knew he'd been a bit jealous because he'd been afraid I might crush on one of the hundred and sixty guys running around that place. Sure, some were hot, but none could compare to my Riku. My boyfriend was the hottest man on earth, I was sure of it. And I needed to make sure to tell him that, which is why the train wasn't going fast enough.
I was excited...Had he changed while I was gone? I remember that he'd gotten a little bit taller after getting back from the trip with his dad. I hadn't been able to appreciate it much since we'd only gotten to spend a couple of hours together before I'd had to leave for camp. But I was determined to never, ever leave him again. Not for camp not for anything. If he had to go somewhere, I'd stuff myself in his suitcase or something.
The train came to a halt and my heart stuttered in excitement. Riku was picking me up as he'd gotten a car. His parents spoiled him way too much. It was alright though, because somehow Riku didn't let it poke his arrogance gauge too much. He was just the right amount of arrogant. The hot kind of arrogant. I was kind of glad now that we hadn't told anyone yet about our sexuality and that we weren't just best friends anymore, because since nobody knew, nobody was really paying extra attention as to what we did in his or my room. Not like Tifa who made us leave the door open. It was ridiculous, not like either of us could get each other pregnant. In any case, thanks to that very lack of knowledge in our families parts, I'd be able to ravage my hot boyfriend to hell and back because two months without any of that was very straining.
Swinging my backpack onto my shoulder, I hopped off the train the moment the doors popped open, darting my eyes left and right nervously as I felt that flutter in my stomach, just at the idea of seeing him again. When my eyes landed on him, my lips parted. Well shit... He'd managed to get even prettier. His hair was a bit longer now and he'd gotten taller too... He'd been working out? Oh dear... Swallowing nervously, I walked over to him. He hadn't seen me yet.
"Riku!" I shouted, chuckling in giddiness as I got closer.
"Sora!" His smile was instant and he glanced around, eyes scanning the crowd before opening his arms so that I could step in and give him a hug. "Come here." He murmured. Oh man... Sexual frustration much? Just being in his arms and having him hold me close caused an instant hard on and I very nearly moaned at his murmur alone. We needed to do some serious damage control here. Pressing my face into his chest, I hugged him back tightly, not really caring who was watching and seeing us.
"I missed you so, so much."
"Sora, if we don't get to my car in the next five minutes, I'm going to explode. I missed you so much too." While whispering in my ear, his hand slyly slid down my back and brushed my butt. Oh, that was no accident, sneaky Riku. Pulling away, he looked down at me, his eyes intense with want. "Let's go." I licked my lips in anticipation, nodding my head as I grabbed his hand and then dragged him along with me to the parking lot.
"Which one is yours?" I asked, putting the horniness aside for the moment so I could be excited over his car. I hadn't seen it yet, but I knew Riku was completely in love with the thing.
"It's that white truck over there. It's small, so that means that it can only fit the two of us in the cab, plus the back will be good to put a mattress in when we go camping." His voice held a note of pleasure at that idea, and I smirked knowing where his mind was at.
Making our way over to it, I climbed into the passenger seat, buckling up. "Is it me or did you get less shy while I was gone?" I know I had. In response to my question, Riku scooted over to my side and grabbed my face to kiss me. Moaning into my lips, his mouth opened, tongue snaking out to force itself into my mouth. Oh woah... Clutching his shoulders, I tried to kiss him back just as fiercely as he was me, but things were too hot.
"Riku, you gotta stop. Haven't been with you in so long, I'll come in my pants without either of us getting near my dick." Not that we had ever neared each others dicks before, but yeah.
"Sora...Dammit, I haven't seen you in so long. Okay." With a pained sigh, Riku pulled back then pecked my lips once more before scooting back over to the driver's side and starting the engine. "And when you talk like that, it just makes me want to do things to you..." Glaring at me from the corner of his eye, we pulled out of the parking lot and started heading home.
"I had Tifa on the phone the other day," I announced carefully, "She's having a hard time lying to Rinoa... Or like, I think Rinoa is suspicious." I didn't want to pressure him into coming out because I knew it would be a delicate matter when it came to his parents. After Tifa? I was pretty sure my other sisters would absorb the news relatively well and if not, I had Tifa. Having her accept my sexuality so smoothly made things easier for me. I'd never pressure Riku, but it was starting to get really hard to keep things from everyone.
"I know, Sora. I'm sorry. Just a little longer, please. We'll both be eighteen in less than six months. Then it won't matter. If my parents kick me out, or anything, it'll be okay." His voice was tinged with unhappiness and I knew it was hard for him to hide it as well. Especially since his bedroom was mainly where we ended up doing things.
"As long as you need," I told him like I'd told him many times, and I meant it. "But you know Rinoa, she's worried over the fact that I haven't had a girlfriend since Olette. She actually wants me to go to therapy..." I shook my head at the silliness that was my sister. "If it's okay with you, I think I'll just tell them that I'm gay. That way Tifa doesn't have to cover for me anymore and Rinoa can stop worrying. She's got enough of that going with Lisa." The kid was crawling and Irvine had baby proofed the house to the max. Like, I had issues opening the fucking fridge thanks to him.
He sent me a worried look and nodded. "That will work. But what if...I mean, Sora. What if she isn't okay with it? What if you had to move away? I'd run away with you."
Reaching out, I placed my hand on his, "I'm pretty sure everything will be fine. If things go wrong though..." I shrugged, "We'll figure it out then, alright? Lets just go with the idea that things will go good."
"Okay. Umm, do you have to go straight home? Or can we go for a drive?" As we'd gotten a little older, and now that we could both drive, Riku had added in a new code phrase. 'Go for a drive' meant that one of us wanted to go somewhere secluded and make out, or just snuggle.
I grinned, "I told Rinoa that my train would get in at ten and that you'd drop me off at eleven." It was seven now, "We got four hours before I have to go home."
Laughing at my deviousness, Riku reached over and grabbed my hand to lace his fingers with mine. "Let's go enjoy ourselves then. And I can help you forget about all the other boys you saw at that summer camp."
"I'm going to pretend those other boys spiked my interest and let you be possessive, because it's very hot when you're all jealous." I announced, hoping we'd get to a place to park and hide from the world already.
Riku growled and I grinned. "Almost there..." I decided not to remind Riku to slow down, mainly because we were almost there, and also, because I wanted to be there just as much.
My heart started beating fast and I bounced on spot in anticipation, "Park, park, park, park!"
"Okay! Okay!" Riku pulled in behind some trees so that we were completely blocked from view, threw the truck into park and killed the engine. Seat belts were undone, and the distance between us was suddenly nonexistent. "Sora..." Moaning again, his arms were around me and as he scooted out from behind steering wheel and into the middle of the seat, he pulled me into his lap.
Straddling him, I slid my fingers into his hair, kissing him hungrily, "Want you so bad..." I moaned, letting him know just how much as I pushed my crotch roughly against his, "You're the only one for me Riku, none of the other boys could ever compare." I liked to tease him, but I needed to make sure he understood that that was it. Teasing, nothing more. Our breathing was harsh and our mouths never stopped kissing one another, tongues swirling and playing while my hips jerked repeatedly into his.
We were really good at this now... Lots of practice and two months of separation wasn't going to make us forget. I wanted more though... Dragging my lips across his cheek, I sucked onto his neck, the lack of scarf displeasing me as I hadn't been able to decorate his throat with a Sora hickey.
Remedying that, I let my hands slide out of his hair and rested my palms against his chest for just a minute before going further down and letting my fingers slip underneath his shirt. I just wanted to touch... I'd seen him shirtless, but I'd never purposely explored. I was doing it now though, loving the way his tight stomach felt beneath my hands, his heart under my palm and the way his muscles tightened when I brushed my fingers over a particularly sensitive spot.
His hands were slowly copying my actions, slipping beneath my shirt and stroking my bare back. They slowly moved in circles, seeming to memorize every spot, while making the skin tingle with sensation.
"Sora, can I take your shirt off, please?" Still ever so polite... I loved that about him though, that he always asked with a please before doing anything. Pulling my face out of his neck, I smiled down at his red lips and flushed cheeks, the mess I'd put his hair in and knew I probably looked exactly the same. Nodding, I lifted my arms so he could take off my shirt.
Licking his lips in concentration, Riku slowly lifted the hem, taking his time and staring in fascination at the skin that was revealed as my shirt made it's way up my chest. After what seemed like forever, I ducked my head as he pulled the shirt completely off. Staring for only a moment, Riku leaned forward and pressed his lips over my heart.
"I know it's cheesy to say it right now, but I love you, Sora." Wrapping my arms around his shoulders, I kissed the top of his head, smiling. I knew he did, like he knew I loved him. We'd never said it out loud though... It was so nice, that flutter kicking up in speed.
"I love you too."
"Good." He whispered, continuing to cover my chest with quick kisses. Soon he was making his way back to my collarbone, jawline, and finally kissing my lips and running his tongue around my mouth. The neediness and heat was back and I quickly tugged on his shirt, breaking the kiss so I could pull it off him. The moment it did, he wanted to give me his lips again, but I stopped him so I could stare at my really, really hot boyfriend. I licked my lips, loving the sight I was seeing.
"I'm so lucky..." I whispered, running my hands over his chest as I let him close the distance again so we could continue kissing. I ground more firmly against him, moaning with each bump we created. His hands were traveling down my back and I really hoped he'd do what he did at the station again, cause that had felt nice. Seeming to read my mind, his hands rested for a moment above my ass before moving confidently down and gripping it tightly, forcing my hips against him even harder.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god!" I was going to come in my pants like a teenager if he did that again. I'd feel embarrassed but I am a teenager so I'm allowed. Panting, I couldn't even really kiss him anymore because I was too busy enjoying the feel of it all.
"Sora, come on, harder..." Came his whispered response as his head rested on my chest, and his hands seemed to pull me closer if that was at all possible at this point. Riku's hands on my butt, the bump and grind, the fact that we hadn't been able to touch each other for a long while and then... I'd never actually come with Riku... Bump, grind, coming with Riku. Yep, done for.
"Riku!" I moaned in his ear, jerking my hips haphazardly against him as I couldn't keep up the rhythm while coming. "Uh!"
"Sora! Fuck!" Riku's voice was loud and I was held against him tightly as his body jerked, and then relaxed under me. We were panting and gripping each other still, his hands resting on my butt and mine were wrapped around his neck and shoulders feeling like jello.
Chuckling at the awesomeness of it all, I snuggled into his chest, pressing my face into his neck. "I'm never coming alone again. You're my coming buddy from now on. That was amazing... We should do this every day. Twice a day. Three times a day... All the fucking time..."
"Yeah...that was amazing...You're amazing..." Riku sounded out of breath and I could feel his heart racing against my chest. "We should get changed though. I'm suddenly starving..." Chuckling weakly, he moved his hands from my butt up to my back and wrapped his arms loosely around me.
"My pants will be a bit short on you..." I pointed out, shrugging because it's not like we had any other option. Sitting up, I pressed my lips together and nodded at him, "Whenever we're ready, I want to bottom for you." I know that was out of the blue, but for some reason I really wanted him to know that, even if it would be a long while before we would get there.
Eyes wide, he blinked at me. "Well that was unexpected." He sounded surprised. "You don't mean you want to bottom every time do you?"
I shook my head, "I researched gay sex when we were allowed to use the internet at camp. Apparently topping and bottoming is both really good. I just want to try bottoming first, but I wouldn't take that experience away from you." I told him, smiling, "But I'm not ready to have sex yet. We should try handjobs and blowjobs and fingering and rimming first anyways." I'd read up on it a lot because I wanted to do more with Riku, but I wanted to be prepared as well and make sure neither of us got hurt or anything. Plus, I was curious. I wanted to try everything.
He blushed a most interesting shade of red. "Sora! You did that at camp? What if you got in trouble?" Nibbling his bottom lip, he looked away in what I can only assume was epic Riku embarrassment. My poor boyfriend was somewhat shy about some things it seemed. "I...I, don't even know what some of that stuff is. I tried looking stuff up too, while you were gone and I got...I got excited and it felt weird because you weren't there and I've only ever gotten excited when you were there. It was weird..." He trailed off and then met my eyes again. "I'd rather research stuff with you there."
"Okay. But I remember how everything is supposed to work so if you want I can just try it on you first and then you copy me after I'm done." I suggested.
"Okay. Does that mean you want me to grind on top of you next time?" With his blush finally dying down, he smirked at me.
I moaned at the idea, grabbing his face so I could kiss him silly. "We're already a mess," I said breathlessly, "Wanna try that now and then change and go back?"
Lifting me suddenly, he grunted as he shifted and moved us around until finally, I was under him with his knees on either side of my thighs. "Hell yeah..."
Riku - seventeen years old (a week later)
"Sora, stop eating so fast. I'll get done when I get done." I grinned in amusement at my boyfriend as he was scarfing the lunch that Rinoa had packed for him. My lunch was the same everyday no matter what, my mother getting up every morning to make it. I appreciated it, I really did, but peanut butter and jelly did get old. Resisting the urge to reach out and wipe the little bit of sandwich stuck on his cheek off, I sighed and wished things could be a little different.
We were still hiding our relationship and I was both glad and annoyed. My mother wasn't very subtle with her desire for me to have a girlfriend. It grated on my nerves and I was always biting my tongue to stop myself from blurting out that I didn't need one because I had Sora. But I was glad that she didn't know because then she might take me away from him. And glancing at him, I'd die if I didn't have Sora.
"Do you have to work today?" I didn't let my voice whine, but I was really annoyed that Sora had a job. My mom wouldn't let me get one, told me to focus on my studies, and so I was stuck at home most afternoons that Sora was working.
"No, Mister Pinel is closing the store early today. His daughter is in town and he wants to spend as much time as he can with his granddaughter."
"Did you want to go for a drive then?" I winked at him and watched as he perked up at the question.
"Good idea, but we should drop our bags off at home before that." And that was code talk for 'we need to get a change of clothes'. "I was thinking, maybe this weekend we can go out to the lake? We can camp there for one last weekend together before I tell Rinoa about, you know..." He shrugged, "Just want to make sure we get to spend a whole lot of time together before I tell her that. I almost don't want to tell her because I'm afraid she won't leave me alone with you anymore." He sighed, "I have to though."
I nodded, understanding that he did. Tifa knew and so he at least had someone on his side. "Okay. I'll ask my mom about it. She'll probably say yes cause my dad will be in town this weekend and I have a feeling they want some alone time. Which is really gross sounding when I say it out loud." I crinkled my nose as Sora laughed at me. Cutting myself off, I glanced up as someone was walking towards us. Olette. That was weird, she didn't really talk to us normally. Maybe she needed help with her math or something? She didn't smile or wave and didn't even ask if we were okay with her sitting down at our lunch table.
Sighing, she tucked her hair behind her ear, "Hi guys... I need to tell you something."
"What's up, Olette?" I asked, curious as to why she was here.
She looked upset now, "Sora, you remember what it's like not to be popular, right? Before Riku you had no friends here and... Well. I don't have any real friends here either. It's really hard..." She mumbled, "I saw you at the train station last week. You were holding hands?" A whisper, "I... I was really shocked to find out you two were together but!" She started crying then, "I only told Paine because I thought if I told her a secret she would want to be friends! I didn't think she'd tell everyone about you two."
What? "Woah, hold on a second." I didn't shout and I was really uncomfortable with her crying in front of me. Sending Sora a worried glance, I scooted closer and awkwardly patted her back. But what she said was currently rocketing around my brain, slowly making my mind explode. "You told Paine that you saw me and Sora holding hands at the train station?"
She sniffled her nose, big tears rolling down her cheeks as she nodded, "Yes. She told Kairi who told Namine who told Selphie. You know as well as I do how that goes. It was a leak... Everyone in the school now believes you're a gay couple." She blubbered out, "That's why everyone's been avoiding and staring at you weirdly."
"Avoiding and staring?" Sora asked, looking around the cafeteria, "I didn't notice that..."
I shook my head at him. "Me neither..." Following his example, I glanced around the cafeteria and sure enough, people were looking and whispering, and a few were giggling and pointing. Oh shit.
"So, Selphie knows?" I turned back to Sora. "Sora, what are we going to do?"
His eyes were darting left and right and he suddenly started breathing fast, "I don't know! Riku..." He gripped my hand under the table, "I... We need to get out of here, I'm not feeling so good."
"I'm really sorry." Olette whispered.
"I don't know what to say, Olette." I said honestly. She shouldn't have told anyone, but I knew that she hadn't done it maliciously. However, that didn't make this situation any less shitty. "But I accept your apology." Sending a weak grin her way, I squeezed Sora's hand once then released it as we stood slowly and made our way out of the cafeteria.
The whispers increased as we left, and the desire to grip Sora's hand and run to my truck was almost too much for me. He walked tensely beside me, glancing around every once in a while. My chest burned with anger at Paine for doing this to us. Olette, sure, she'd told someone, but I knew her through Sora and she was a sweet girl, a little too much of a gossip apparently, but still a good person. Paine, on the other hand? She'd never really forgiven me for dumping her on Prom night, and I'd had to avoid her ever since. So, was this her version of revenge? Because regardless of whether or not we were actually gay, we were together all the time and people would read whatever they wanted to about the situation.
And since we were actually gay? And together? Things would be harder. I was worried about Sora. We breathed identical sighs of relief when my truck came into view and we climbed inside and I started the engine automatically. Deciding that this wasn't the best place to talk, I made the decision that we were taking the rest of the day of off school. I put the truck in gear and started driving.
"Selphie only comes home in the weekends... That's why I had no idea." Sora muttered.
"Do you think she's said anything to your other sisters?" Or worse my parents? But I didn't say that. His family finding out like this was the main focus today.
He shook his head, "No. Selphie's life revolves around her and her friends. If she'd said anything, Rinoa would have confronted me about it and she didn't. But Selphie might say something when she gets home..." He sounded a little scared, "It's not supposed to go like this. I'm supposed to tell my family and then you tell your family and then we tell our friends, not the other way around."
"Then let's go talk to Rinoa. Right now. She's at home and she needs to hear it from us." And I meant it. I would tell her and take the consequences, but I didn't think she would say anything to my parents. But, even if she did, I didn't want Sora's life to be any harder than mine would end up being. We could support each other through this.
"You'll stay with me? I'm scared, Riku."
"I'll be there the whole time. Okay? Deep breath. We can do this." I think...
We were sitting in the driveway to Sora's house, waiting until our hearts stopped beating like crazy, hoping that Rinoa would be in a good mood. Sora was gripping my hand tightly and his eyes were wide, pupils dilated in fear.
"Sora, please. It'll be okay. Tifa is on our side, remember? She can help if we need her to." And I thanked my lucky stars every night for Tifa... If only I had an older sister like Tifa on my side, I wouldn't be so scared of my own parents. Scared of the way my mom would freak out. Or not freak out, because that wouldn't be polite. No, I was worried that she'd go into denial...Whatever. This wasn't about my family. Today, right now, was about Sora's family and he needed me to be his support. "Are you ready?" I asked softly.
"Yes. I just tell them that I'm gay, right? Do I tell them about us?"
"Just start with telling them you are gay." I gulped, he was so brave, but so scared. "Then, after they react, you decide if you want to tell them about us. I don't want to rush them. And since we can't tell my parents yet, I'm okay still being your secret boyfriend." I gave him my most encouraging smile, hoping that he would be okay.
"Alright." He said shakily, getting out of the car, waiting for me to get out as well before we walked up to his house, went inside and let our bags drop to the floor, shoes off. "Rinoa?" He shouted through the house, walking into the living room and bending down so he could pick up a crawling Lisa on the floor. Propping his niece onto his hip, he looked over the couch, "Irvine, where's Rinoa?" Irvine sat up, cooing baby blabber at his daughter who seemed real happy to be in Sora's arms.
"I'm right here!" Rinoa raced through the door that led to the hallway with the stairs that went up to the second floor. She was holding a laundry basket, currently plopping it down onto the floor as she walked over to me, ruffling my hair and kissing my cheek before ruffling Sora's hair, giving his cheek a kiss too and then taking Lisa out of his hands. "What's up?" She asked, cooing at her baby as well, which led Irvine to chuckle, snatching Lisa out of Rinoa's hands.
"Give them your full attention, sweetheart, clearly they want it." Rinoa nodded, turning so she could give us her attention. I gulped and wished I was still holding Sora's hand. Turning a little to glance at him, I silently asked him if he wanted me to start or if I should just leave it up to him. He gave me a pleading look, seemingly frozen all of a sudden now that he didn't have the baby to hold onto.
Nodding at Sora, I went to Irvine who was bouncing Lisa on his knee. "May Sora please hold Lisa? It will make it easier for him to talk." Irvine gave me a solemn nod and placed the baby in my arms. Cooing at her to let her know it was going to be okay, I walked back to Sora and placed her in his arms.
"Thanks..." He breathed, holding onto his niece as if his life depended on it. "Okay... Rinoa, sit down." He gestured for her to sit down beside Irvine and then moved over to stand in front of them, his hand rubbing Lisa's back as he moved his body in a slow gentle bounce to keep her amused.
"Sora, sweetie? What's going on?" Rinoa asked softly and I noticed her gripping Irvine's hand tightly who shushed her gently, smiling in encouragement at Sora. Did he know...? Sora breathed in deeply, giving me a quick look and kissing Lisa's top of her head before simply blurting it out.
"I'm gay." Rinoa blinked, staring at Sora as she absorbed this piece of information, while Irvine grinned.
"Well fucking finally." Rinoa's cowboy husband announced. My eyes must have been bugging out, because Irvine glanced at me and laughed a little. What the hell? He knew! How?
"You knew?" Rinoa shouted, slapping his thigh. "Why didn't you tell me anything?"
"Not my secret to tell, sweetheart." He replied with a simple shrug, "Stop shittin' bricks boys. So you're gay? Who cares, doesn't make you any less annoying." He chuckled as Sora growled at that comment.
"How did you know?" Sora asked softly, curiously.
Irvine grinned, "Was picking up laundry in your bedroom and looked through the window to see if you were at Riku's. You were at Riku's alright..."
"Oh shit..." I was blushing. I could feel it... Rinoa gasped, jumping off the couch so she could snatch the baby from Sora's hands, place it in Irvine's waiting arms and then she marched over to me, grabbing my ear so she could drag me over to stand right next to Sora. Wincing and scared as shit, I didn't say anything because she looked scary...
"Bad, bad boys!" Rinoa shouted, waving a hectic looking finger at us, "And here I was worried if Sora was capable of having a relationship! You guys were going at it this entire time? Bad!" She said again, "You're both grounded! For the rest of your lives! If I wanted Sora to inform me of his relationship status it was to explain sex and then make sure that stupid bedroom door stayed open so I could keep an eye on things. You both have been going behind my back! Grounded, you hear?"
Irvine laughed, "Honey, may wanna reassure them it's okay they're gay..."
Rinoa blinked and then shrugged, "Yes, of course it's okay. But after I figure out how to explain gay sex to you both, we're going to set some rules around the house when it comes to going up Sora's room." Rinoa looked at me then, "Have you told your parents?"
"No, ma'am." I choked out, and there was a small part of my mind that wanted to correct her assumption that we needed her to explain gay sex to us, but thankfully my brain was more about self-preservation at that point, and I kept my mouth shut.
Sora didn't though, "Tifa knows and took care of the sex talk."
Rinoa's eyes widened and then she gasped again, "Imma ground her ass too!"
"Rinoa!" Sora said, laughing a bit and I could see that he was clearly feeling a lot better now that he knew his family didn't care he was gay, I was gay and that we are together... "Just. Don't tell Riku's parents, alright? He's not ready to tell them yet. We will and we'll follow your rules, but please don't tell them yet?"
"Please!" I figured an extra please couldn't hurt our case...
She eyed us carefully and considering how scared I must look and how serious Sora looked? "Fine. But if I do that, you'll promise me you won't take advantage of the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Moore aren't aware. The rules I set will apply in your home too, Riku, whether your mom knows about them or not."
"Promise." Sora agreed. "And please don't be angry at Tifa... She really helped us." He murmured. I nodded, still not being able to process how well this was going. Rinoa cared more about the fact that we were making out behind closed doors, than she cared about the fact that we, two guys, were making out behind closed doors. I loved Sora's family...
"Good." Rinoa said with a curt nod, "Now I'm going to drop the mom act and tell you to get over here and hug me because I don't like how scared you boys are looking. Come on." She urged, pouting a bit as she pulled us into a hug. "Silly boys. It'll all be okay from now on. No more being scared about telling anyone. I'll have Irvine load the gun and shoot whoever gives you any trouble." She said soothingly.
"Amen." Irvine agreed.
Sora - seventeen years old (a couple of days later)
So being officially gay now that my family was aware of it was really very nice as it lifted this heavy stress off my shoulders, but Rinoa had not been kidding when she said she would settle some rules. My bedroom door was open now and she came in regularly to make sure Riku and I weren't doing something naughty instead of our homework. Thankfully Irvine had been able to talk some sense into her and told her that placing the baby monitor in my room would be overdoing things.
I knew Riku was glad my family was aware of his sexuality as well and of course... we liked being able to be boyfriends and not secret boyfriends. It was nice and well... Hiding felt like I was hiding Riku and that was something I never wanted to do. I was happy to be with him, proud. Rinoa had called Tifa to give her a piece of her mind. Tifa was a cop though, she knew how to shut Rinoa up. Meaning that Tifa had asked Rinoa how Lisa was doing and when you did that? Rinoa talked about the baby for hours and hours on end, everything else forgotten.
Apparently she'd called Yuffie as well and she had sent me an email. It was short but sweet and just very Yuffie... I missed her. It had said that she was very proud of me and Riku to have told us and that she was happy I'd found myself a boyfriend and that she loved me. So that was good. I had no idea if Rinoa had called Selphie. Not that it mattered since Selphie most likely already knew considering Olette's words.
But that didn't matter right now though. Right now I was sitting on the floor, trying to make sense out of my math homework while Riku was working on his history just a few steps away from me, also sitting on the floor. So, I was in need of a kiss to actually calculate the problems on my math homework. I'd calculated the amount of minutes Rinoa vanished before popping her head back in, making sure we weren't doing anything naughty. I had exactly two minutes. Clearing my throat, I reached over and then turned my pencil case upside down on top of Riku's history book, hoping the thirty pencils I just offered him would give him a clear hint.
"Sora." He grinned and glanced up at me, sending me a look that made my stomach quiver. "We don't have to hide here. You can just come over and kiss me if you need to." Moving the pencils a little so he could scoot closer to me, he leaned in and whispered, "Kiss me, hot stuff."
I had no idea where that had suddenly come from, but I liked it... A lot... "We have one minute and thirty-four seconds, so lets make it count." I said breathlessly, pushing off my knees so I could launch myself at him, kissing him desperately as his arms came around me, holding me on top of him as he'd landed on his back on the floor. Grinning into the kiss, he flipped me over so that my back hit the floor and he was laying partly on top of me, not all the way just in case Rinoa came in, but enough that we moaned as certain parts of our anatomy lined up.
Sliding my hand down his back, I gripped his butt, "I wanna do more than bump and grind, Riku." I told him honestly, "Not all the way but..." Licking my lips, I felt a blush heat my cheeks, "I... I want to touch you." I whispered. I knew that wasn't going to happen now, but I wanted him to know that whenever we found a place and time no one would interrupt us? That I wanted to do a little bit more.
"Gods, Sora. You're going to make me hard and you're family is downstairs..." He whispered back, moving his hips forward a little. "But, I want to touch you too." I moaned at his words, kissing him again but then groaned in frustration as I could hear someone coming up the stairs. Untangling myself from Riku, I plucked at my hair, sitting down and re-arranging my crotch as I shook my head out of the horny daze and then pretended to be deeply concentrated on my math homework. Peeking out from the corner of my eye, I saw Riku doing pretty much the same as I'd done, grinning down at his history book as I chuckled at our silliness. I blinked in surprise as Selphie marched into the room, her hands on her hips as she glared down at me and Riku.
"You ruined my life!" She shouted. Her face was red and the way she'd shrieked I knew how angry she was right now. And she was very, very angry. My breathing hitched and I quickly scrambled to my feet, wondering what the hell I'd done to annoy her now. "Why can't you be normal?" She kicked my math book, sending it flying across the room, "First you're a fag and then you have to suck face with Riku? Why couldn't you just be gay with someone out of town so nobody would know? Everyone knows, Sora! My boyfriend broke up with me because I'm your older sister! How could you?" She was crying, clearly upset her boyfriend had broken up with her because the moment the word 'boyfriend' had left her mouth is when the waterworks had started. I gulped, moving backwards and up against the wall as she stepped closer to me.
"Shut the fuck up, Selphie!" I'd never expected to hear Riku say what he just did, or ever shout at another person, especially a girl. But there he was, leaping to his feet and stepping in between us, his fists balled up and his stance rigid. "You don't know what you're fucking talking about. And if you've got something to say, you can say it to me. Maybe he dumped you because you obviously think that the world only fucking revolves around you!" Selphie was a popular girl. Captain of the Cheerleaders, prettiest girl in class, always got herself the best guys in school. To her? The world did revolve around her and only her. It made her a bitch with capital b. And that is what had her glaring up at Riku, not caring he was twice her height and her weight most likely as well.
"Don't you dare talk to me, you-" Irvine suddenly appeared behind her, placing his hand over her mouth so she wouldn't say that word again.
"S'okay Riku, I got this." Irvine mumbled, shaking Selphie as she tried to kick free. "Selphie fucking Maguire!" He shouted and when Irvine shouted? You shut up and better listen. "You're gonna go to your room right now and Google the word 'homophobe'. Once you figure out what homophobes are and what they do? You come down and tell me if you seriously want any of that to happen to your BROTHER!" He pointed a finger out to the hallway, "Go fucking now. Can't look at you." He clipped out. Selphie gulped, nodding her head and vanished to do what Irvine had told her to do. Turning, he breathed out steadily, "I'll deal with her. Continue your homework." Giving us a tight smile, he left, closing the door behind him on purpose. Riku was still standing in front of me, but his head was bowed and his arms were now hanging loosely at his side. I couldn't see his face.
"I'd better go." He said softly, refusing to look at me. This was too hard. I... My sister calling me that? I don't think I've ever felt that hurt. And Riku and I both knew his mother wouldn't take the news very well. If Selphie took it this way and we'd expected her to take it 'okay', then how the hell would Mrs. Moore react? I didn't want Riku to go through that...
"Yeah," I mumbled, "You should."
