I originally made it to seem if Sora had just come for his little time with Kairi, but them again, from what happened in the first game, he may lay in the surf very often. Interpret as yaoi if you want.

Watch the Sky: Riku and Sora

Riku was sitting on their favorite bent palm tree, watching the stars slowly appear in the sky. Sora walked up to him, smiling, his feet wet from the water.

"Sora, what are stars?" Riku asked suddenly. Sora looked at him, surprised.

"They're giant ball of ga-" he began.

"I mean what are they emotionally?" Riku interrupted Sora's science lesson. Sora sat on the tree thoughtfully.

"Well I see them as hope." Sora said, looking at them.

"Why hope?"

"Well, no matter where you are, no matter your age, or your home or your color, the stars are always there. So, if the stars are there, it means everything's alright." Sora said, still watching them.

"Yeah, you're right. If the stars shine, there's always hope." Riku smiled and pulled himself onto the trunk next to Sora. As the sky grew steadily darker, one bright star shone down on the two friends. Sora smiled at the sight. The sight of new hope.
