A/N: Thanks to Star-Shaped-X for the prompt. It didn't turn out like I had originally planned it though.

Disclaimer: You probably know by now that I don't own Kingdom Hearts. If I did I'd RELEASE THE FRIGGIN' TRAILER!

"Come on, Riku! I pinkie-promise I won't tell anyone!" A small brunette continued to nag at his friend. He knew the older boy was keeping a secret, and he desperately wanted to know what it was.

"No way, Sora! It's a secret; I can't tell you." The slightly older silver-haired boy said for what must have been the twentieth time.

"But why?" the young brunette whined, exasperated.

Riku, was beginning to get annoyed. He couldn't figure out why Sora was so insistent on getting him to tell the secret that guy on the island told him. "Because I can't. It's a s-e-c-r-e-t!"

"Friends don't keep secrets from each other, Riku. You're being mean!"

The five-year-old groaned in frustration. "I am not! You just don't get it."

"What don't I get?"

"Well, ya know how if you tell someone what you wish for, it won't come true?"

"Yeah, but what does that have to do with the secret you won't tell me." Sora was beginning to suspect that his friend was trying to change the subject. It was upsetting to know that Riku wouldn't tell him the secret. They were supposed to be best friends. And best friends tell each other everything, right?

"Well it's kinda the same for secrets."

"No it's not. You made that up."

"I didn't make it up!"

"Fine! If you don't wanna tell me than don't. I don't care about your stupid secret." Sora's eyes watered as he looked at the older boy who he thought was his friend. Blinking the tears back, the young brunette turned to run away.

"Sora, wait!" Riku called before the younger boy got the change to move from his spot. "I'm sorry. I really can't tell you now. But…" he paused to think for a moment, trying to stop his voice from shaking and betraying the sadness he felt at his friend's words and the regret he felt at having to keep a secret. "…I don't really understand the secret either. All I really get is that I promised not to tell. You're not supposed to break a promise, right…?"

"Y-yeah. Y-you're right." Tears spilled from large cerulean eyes as the younger child realized his mistake. Turning quickly, he ran to his older friend, throwing his arms around him and crying into his sleeveless shirt. "I'm sorry, Riku! I'm really sorry! Please don't hate me! I'm sorry!"

"S-Sora!" the silver-haired child gasped in response, but reciprocated the hug, comforting the younger boy. "It's okay. I don't hate you."

"Y-You don't?" Large blue eyes, shimmering with unshed tears looked up in hopeful surprise at the older boy's words.

"No way! We're best friends…right, Sora?" The brunette smiled widely in response, and childish aquamarine eyes brightened as their owner laughed happily.

"Yeah! Best friends forever!"

A/N: Yet another chapter that kinda wrote itself differently than I had planned. I had originally planned it to be a cute little friendship thing with 4 year old Sora continually asking 5 year old Riku why he couldn't tell him the secret. Probably not my best chapter, but that's because I'm not as familiar with BBS (even though it's one of my favorites, if not my favorite, in the series) because the end is too sad and I can't just play a game part way and not finish it. So I watched a let's play up to the part in Terra's Story where he goes to Destiny Islands and meets Baby Riku (He's 5 I know I just call him Baby Riku because he's so friggin' little).

Thank you to Cheri Berry Keyblade, SetoshiHiroVita, and Daughter Earth 89 for following and favoriting this story. Once again it makes me happy to see people like my story, even though half these chapters are probably crap.

Long author's notes are long. I'm gonna shut up now.
