AN: Riku/Sora (not a couple I tend to ship, but I couldn't leave them out).
The sun shone down on the Sandlot at the back of Twilight High as Sora and Riku prepared for the final round of the tournament. Cid Highwind ushered them both into the ring, and the match began. Most of the school had turned out to watch. Kairi sat on the sidelines, not cheering for either one of them – how could she choose between her two best friends? Beside her, Naminé was sketching the scene, and on her other side, Axel was talking to himself, trying to decide what the outcome would be.
On the sand, Sora and Riku danced around each other, neither wanting to make the first hit. Axel leaned over to ask Kairi a question.
"Have they always been like this around each other?"
"No. Only this last month."
"Oh, ok. Just wondering."
The difference this month was that Sora and Riku had finally admitted what was hideously obvious to the rest of the school. They made a good couple, Kairi had to admit, and they'd never made her feel like a third wheel. Occasionally, though, she'd had to cover for them when they'd sneaked off together.
Cid was getting annoyed with them. "Will you two lovebirds just get on with the match? You can make it up to each other later."
Sora blushed, swinging his struggle bat in Riku's direction. The match had, finally, begun properly.
A few minutes later, Riku was sprawled on the ground, having lost the match. Sora held out one hand to him, but instead of standing up, he pulled the smaller boy down onto the sand. Sora tried to look indignant, but it wasn't long before they both started laughing.
"Well done, Sora."
"I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Riku smirked. "Well, I may have a couple of bruises…"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Riku." Sora looked distraught at the thought that he might have hurt Riku. The silver-haired boy simply smiled, getting to his feet and pulling Sora up. By this time, the audience had been ushered back inside. Cid looked up at them, shaking his head.
"You two clear up the equipment." He disappeared into the school, and Sora started to clear up the struggle bats, gathering them into a pile. Riku ran his fingertips lightly up Sora's back, and he dropped everything.
"R… Riku…"
"Leave those for a minute." He wrapped his arms around the small brunet, who turned around to face him, bringing his own arms up to slide around Riku's neck. One of Sora's hands played with the strands of Riku's long hair.
"Kiss me." A whispered, almost embarrassed request.
Leaning down slightly, Riku did just that. Yes, they knew they'd be spotted if someone happened to look out of the windows, but it wasn't anything that hadn't been seen before. They didn't move until Kairi reappeared, ruffling Sora's spiky hair and telling them to get a move on.
"You two can go home now, school's over for the day."
Sora blushed again when he noticed the look that Riku was giving him. It was a look that suggested they could do so much more when they were somewhere private.
AN: I wish I could draw - I can picture so many scenes from these Twilight High stories in my head, but I just can't put them down on paper.
