Riku closed his eyes. He was laying on his back in a large bed, clutching a black cloak to him tightly. He could hear the shower running in the other room; Demyx was still cleaning himself off. The zipper of the Organization cloak was cutting into his skin, leaving dark imprints on his clear, unmarred skin.

He didn't want him to leave. It was terrible, unforgivable to think that, when he knew he should. A soft cough echoed around the room, and he could feel the heat radiating from his fair skin. Some of it was still red, still glowing from the aftermath. Riku breathed shakily, the heart in his chest fluttering like a bird desperately trying to escape from its cramped ribcage.

The constant thumps were enough to drive him insane. What was he to do when he came back out? This was his first time. It probably hadn't been for Demyx and--

The pitter-patter of falling water started outside, and the teen closed his eyes solemnly, listening to the rhythm. Why was he caring? Demyx was sweet… kind. What would he do? He could trust him--he hadn't exposed him to the Organization. Demyx hadn't double-crossed him. He doubted he would.

As the shower stopped on the opposite wall, he sat up. The black cloth was still slipped over his slim body, covering his torso, lap and one of his legs.

Riku looked down at his feet as Demyx stepped out into the room, clean. He didn't need to dry himself off; he could take in the water that was on his skin into his abilities.

Seagreen eyes met ocean-blue, and he swallowed.

"… h-hello."

"Um… hi," Demyx shuffled his feet, an awkward blush over his face.

The silence was deafening, and Riku couldn't take it anymore. He stood up, bare and all, before going over to the blonde and kissing his lips.

The Nobody looked more then a little shocked, and he glanced away, turning to go. Before he could, Demyx lurched forwards and took his coat from him. He smiled and pulled the coat on the younger boy.

"Here. Keep this. So you'll always remember this." His warm arms wrapped against the silver-haired boy's thin waist.

Riku placed a hand over his, before closing his eyes and leaning against him.
