Chapter 4: Pleasing the Opposition

"Yeah…" Kairi popped up, watching the two begin to sweat, "Just how do you two know each other?"

Riku glanced up at Sora, the brunette watching him with a certain twinkle in his gaze. "Enlighten us." Came Sora's voice, almost like a dark chuckle.

Riku gaped at him, but stuttered anyways, trying to come up with something other than he got injured.

"I-I… I met him at my family's dinner and it just so happened my mom wanted me to go to his house, so I did, for dinner. And well…" Riku began to bail, glaring and pointing at Sora, "HE THREW CHINESE FOOD AT ME!!"

Sora just shook his head and rolled his eyes, trying to ignore the pressure of his cigarettes in his pocket.

"So, um…" Kairi glanced upwards, towards Sora, ignoring Riku frowning and folding his arms with a huff, "May we visit your house?"

Sora blinked, expecting this, as he remembered Naminé stayed behind to have her and Larxene clean up.

"Sure."

"THAT MESS??" Riku shouted out.

"It's perfectly clean!"

"Like hell it is!"

Kairi sweatdropped, choosing to stay back and out of their little tiff.

"You know what?" Sora glared, "I'm not here for you, I'm here for the winner." He pointed to her and glanced at her, "What's your name again kid?"

"Kairi." She gave a smile.

"I'm here for Kairi because that's what this damn contract is for!" Within an instant, Sora pointed to Riku, "If you want to stay in this fucking car—."

"Limo." Riku corrected him.

"Whatever, if you want to, then you have to obey her fucking rules so stop ranting or you're going to get kicked out of this car—."

"Limo."

"Whatever! Stop being an ungrateful little bitch and accept if before I kick you out of this car—!"

"Limo." Riku and Sora began to glare again.

"Besides, I'm technically a winner too, so you can't throw me out of this car!" Riku roared.

"Limo." Sora smirked, causing Riku to scowl.

Kairi began to laugh, causing the two males to freeze, "I never figured my best friend and idol would be this much fun together."

Riku pouted, huffing back into his seat, "The only reason I'm here is because Kairi's my best friend, otherwise I'd haul ass out of here."

"You think I really care?" Sora waved his arm, "Take off right now, see if I even begin to care."

"Naminé would."

Sora rolled his eyes, "She'll care for a bird."

"She'll still care."

"Your house sir." The limo driver, who had been sweatdropping the entire time, whimpered.

Sora pushed Riku out, jumping out himself, then reached a hand out for Kairi.

Riku glared, watching Kairi grasp Sora's hand as he led her up the steps to his house, laughing and chatting merrily. (Well, as merrily and fakely as Sora could muster) He blew his bangs out of his face and chose to follow them.

"Told you it's clean." Sora stated cockily, leaving the door open as Riku pushed passed him to see the spotless room.

"This wasn't even this clean when I cleaned it!" Riku hissed quickly, trying not to alert Kairi who had been spinning and taking everything in.

"Because Naminé and Larxene actually work."

Riku glared, smacking Sora in the arm before going into the house.

Sora smirked and closed the door behind them.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X

After Sora had given Kairi the grand tour of the house, Naminé had just come back from shopping. The two girls got along perfectly, laughing and joking and becoming like sisters.

As they were picking on Riku, the house phone began to ring.

Sora walked over, picking it up without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?"

"Sora?"

Sora glanced at the receiver, then clutched it back to his ear, "Didn't I tell you to not call?"

"I know, I swear, I know, but he's worried."

"I'm not allowing you to play middle man for me and Axel, Roxas."

The male on the other line sighed, "Listen Sora, I'm sorry okay? I can't do anything more than that. Just please come and see me, and just me, I swear."

"Hmm…" Sora eased back, glancing at pen and paper next to the phone.

"Can you meet me in ten, please? I just wanted to check up, because I worry too…"

"Nice to know you care." Came the sarcastic reply.

"Sora."

Sora rolled his eyes, grabbing a pen, "Fine, where?"

After relaying the information, Sora went back to the kitchen saying Leon called before he went out of his house and walked to the coffee shop down the street.

X.X.X.X.X.X

"Back? Just in time for dinner!" Naminé smiled, lifting a hefty portion of food onto the last plate as the other two were sitting.

Sora grunted, sitting next to the scowling Riku.

"Kairi, could you grab the drinks from the other kitchen?" Naminé asked softly, watching the redhead smile cheerfully and go. The blond turned towards Sora, Riku's questioning gaze on him as well, "Sora, Leon wouldn't get you this riled up, who was really on the phone?"

"A fucking blond whore worrying about his precious good-for-nothing-damn-life with a fiancée who needs to mind his own fucking, goddamed business."

Naminé and Riku didn't even need to read between the lines, Naminé frowned, "What'd Roxas want?"

"To talk to you about a certain thing you're oh-so-perfectly planning." His once warm eyes (towards Naminé at least) had been glaring.

Naminé frowned, easing back into the seat, "You weren't supposed to know I was doing that."

"Fuck it." Sora muttered before Kairi burst through the door, cheerfully exclaiming she finally found what Naminé had asked for.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Some time after they took Kairi home, Sora left randomly and came back in the pitch black with a certain girl linked around him.

Riku couldn't make her out, because it was pitch black and he was sleeping over because his family was remodeling his room.

However, by the way she attempted (and managed) to kick Riku, he could tell it was Tifa.

And in the morning he woke up to find Sora laying on the couch, looking as if he had an impossibly big headache and Tifa leaning over him, large breasts in her small white tang top. Her miniskirt wasn't helping, but Riku's main focus was the face that she was nearly pressing her breasts to every sexual area ever as she leaned over him. His face, his chest, somehow to his crotch…

Riku nearly killed her, really he did.

And he wasn't going to take…

Whatever she was doing!

Anymore!

"Why are you here? You're always here every other day! Don't you have a home?"

She looked shocked and even Sora glanced at him and gaze him a weird look, but she smiled again, "Of course I do! But for a lonely girl like me, a man, like Sora, who has a warm bed and a great—."

"Too much information!!" Riku cried out, "My god, it's sad your brains aren't as big as your tits!!"

Within an instant she ran out of the house, crying.

Sora sat up from the couch, looking back where his front door was now open. He turned back to Riku, eyebrow raised, "Nice going, now I don't have a hole to fuck."

Riku groaned, smacking himself in the forehead. Sora shrugged, easing back onto the couch and closing his eyes to take a nap.

In the doorway, Riku could see Naminé give him thumbs up.

At least he pleased someone.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"Haven't I told you to go home?" Sora asked, not looking up from his magazine as Riku ran by with the broom.

"If you're not cleaning up then who will?" Riku cried out, "Naminé left this morning to go meet up with Roxas and you're ignoring seeing the blond like the plague!"

"Why would I want to see a two-timing son-of-bitch with hair that looks like he left the blow dryer on too goddamed long and needs to get fucking contacts because he looks like a fucking Ken doll. "

Riku whistled, reading the paper in hand, "Wow you haven't called him that yet!" He grabbed a pen and wrote Sora's sentence on the paper entitled 'Everything Sora has called Roxas'. "You know, this is the tenth page, maybe you should write a book."

Sora rolled his eyes and set the magazine down on the coffee table next to the couch. He put on his shoes that sat next to the couch and stood, "I'm going to work."

Riku paused, hands holding the broom tightly, "O… kay…"

A few seconds later Sora spoke up again, "Are you coming?"

Riku blinked, "Huh??"

"You did want to come with me the next time, did you not?"

Riku broke into a smile, dropping the broom to the floor and running to grab his shoes.

Sora rolled his eyes, lighting another cigarette he just pulled out.

After running out the door (they kept forgetting small little trinkets and ness cities), they'd finally made it to the train station and a train was leaving in less than five minutes. They hoped the train, taking it all the way downtown before running towards the building at top speed.

"Just… made it…" Leon answered, clicking the button on his watch to stop recording time as Sora and Riku flew into the room.

"Just give me the wrap up." Sora glared, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.

"You need to do artwork for Yuna, who wants some kind of fairy or pixie type thing—."

Sora snorted.

"And a man requested a painting…"

Sora's eyebrow rose, "Name?"

"… Axel…"

Sora's eyes glazed over, "I'm not doing shit for him."

"He says he wants it to be for a friend who loves your artwork."

Sora's arms crossed over his chest, "Forget it I said."

"You can't."

"Why not?"

"They already sent the money."

"Send it back1"

"Boss won't let me."

Sora growled, standing up and walking out the door.

Riku sighed, standing up and following.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"Are you going to sit there all day?"

Sora didn't look up from his spot on the floor, cigarette hanging loosely in his mouth.

"At least answer me!"

Riku growled, frustrated, and kicked a paint pan near him that clattered to its side.

"Kid…"

Riku turned; Sora still wasn't looking up at him.

"Why do you keep coming back? Back to my house, anyways…"

Riku opened his mouth, then closed it, "I-I don't know…"

Sora's gaze fell on him, "You don't know…?"

Riku shook his head softly, "Not really, but I do like to spend time with you guys." He walked over to Sora, who was still sitting against the wall and sat so close to him his shoulder touched with Sora's chest.

Sora said nothing but leaned on Riku's shoulder.

Riku nearly shivered, feeling the brunette's warmth against him. This wasn't really the same Sora he'd been having problems with, was it? This couldn't be! This Sora… was different… very different…

Sora leaned forward, lips connecting with the edge of Riku's lips, but to Riku it felt like it had been on the lips.

Riku turned a bright red, squeaking, as Sora stood.

"You wanted me to paint right?" Sora asked, grabbing a paintbrush and squirting out colors as if he'd done nothing.

Riku covered the side of his face; he could still feel Sora's lips pressed against him.

He shivered, watching Sora begin to paint.
