Ohmigawd, it's getting tiresome to write all this out. x.x Not that I'm complaining about all the reviews, I love them very much. But I just wish I could copy and paste them like before. It won't let me!! Anyway, I have absolutely nothing else to say, except I'm sorry for the Romeo and Juliet thing. I couldn't resist, and it was the only line I had memorized. Oh yeah, and The Shins rule!!!! XD
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, The Shins, or Romeo and Juliet
Moving day was always difficult. It was made even worse by the fact that Sora came over to help me pack. Not that I would mind normally, but my parents were around my hands, which were much more interested in quite different activities, had to be kept in motion constantly.
"I can't believe you're leaving," Sora said, wrapping his arms around me and laying his head on my back. I chuckled and scratched the back of his hand with my free one as I stuffed my pillows into a cardboard box.
"It's not that far; a mile at the most."
He groaned. "It might as well be a whole other island. We've lived next to each other as long as I can remember." He kissed my neck at the nape. "I'll miss you," he murmured.
My heart swelled and I pushed him away before I was tempted to kiss him senseless. "At this rate, I'll never finish," I said jokingly. Secretly, I was thrilled. I had been afraid before that sleeping with Sora was going too fast, and that he would shy away from me. But it had been great; in the last two weeks, Sora had jumped completely on board with this whole thing. He was as affectionate as could be expected and, to my delight, often initiated heavy make-out sessions. All in private, of course.
Ever since the first time, though, we haven't really engaged in anything…well, physical. Not that I hadn't tried, God knows I thought about it enough. But Sora always seemed reluctant, so I made myself hold back.
Other than that, he seemed happy. At least, I hoped he was.
"I hope you never finish," Sora said, wriggling his way into my grasp and resting his head in the crook of my neck. I smiled as the spikes tickled my face. "You wouldn't be able to leave," Sora finished emphatically. My heart jumped and I wrapped my arms around him tightly. I kissed his chocolate hair.
"We'll see each other just as often," I whispered in his ear. "I promise."
"Jeez, get a room you two." I felt Sora tense beneath me, and if not for my death-grip on him I'm sure he would have jumped well away from me. I turned to grin at Larxene standing in the doorway, an empty box in each hand. She was trying to look patronizing, but the amused smirk creeping up her face ruined that effect somewhat.
"We had one," I retorted, "Before you so rudely inhabited it."
Her smirk widened. "Someone has to keep you two in check. Who knows what kind of appalling things you could be doing up here?" She winked playfully. "Besides, mom and dad are downstairs." Suddenly serious, she fixed me with a meaningful look. I nodded and released Sora, who rocked back on his heels against the box in front of me. I noticed with some degree of amusement that a light blush tinted his cheeks.
I turned back to Larxene. "Wanna help?" I said, gesturing to the nearly empty room. I found myself gazing around forlornly at the whitewashed walls, lighter in places that pictures and posters used to inhabit. My gaze settled on the window about the niche my bed used to inhabit. I smiled sadly. I would probably never stare out that window again, over at the house opposite. At night, I wouldn't be able to use it as an anchor when I couldn't sleep.
Sora passed in front my vision, and my melancholy mood broke. None of that mattered, as long as I had him with me now. I didn't have to pretend anymore, and I'm sure this was a more than fair substitute for the view.
"It looks like you have it covered," Larxene said, breaking me from my thoughts. She sat down against a wall. "But I suppose I could keep you guys company." I smiled and continued packing, not even caring where everything ended up.
After a few moments of silent packing, I asked Larxene how work was going. She had gotten a job at a restaurant, which I thought was amusing to no end. Hartsol, I think it was called.
"It's going great," she gushed. "I told you about that cute redhead, didn't I?"
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Yes, Larx, you did. Axel, wasn't it?"
She grinned and stared at the ceiling, a dreamy look on her face. "Mmhmm. He's amazing, Riku, seriously. He's the best cook I've ever seen. He's only been there a few months and the higher-ups are thinking of making him head chef."
"That's great," I said vaguely.
"Yeah, if it wasn't so obvious he was gay, I would ask him out in a heartbeat."
I laughed. "Larxene, you think everyone's gay."
"I mean it. There's this blonde guy that keeps coming to visit him all the time. Axel says they best friends, but I sense something more." She pursed her lips thoughtfully. "I'm not the only one who thinks so, either. Believe me, it's great gossip material."
"Leave the poor guy alone," I said, shaking my head. "Seems like he has a lot to deal with without you blabbing to the whole world."
"Riku!" My mom's voice called from downstairs. "Are you ready to go?" I sighed and picked up a box full of stuff.
"Help me carry these?" I asked hopefully. Sora and Larxene nodded, grabbing a box of their own and following me downstairs and out to the mover's truck. When it was all loaded, and mom was sitting in the driver's seat ready to go, I turned and hugged my sister.
"Take care of dad," I said. "God knows he won't be able to handle himself alone." I detached myself from her and moved to Sora, whom I squeezed tighter. He squeezed back, almost hard enough to knock my breath away. "I'll be back tomorrow, once we get settled in." Larxene stepped in front of us, blocking the view for mom and allowing me to kiss his neck. "See you soon, okay?"
Sora just nodded as I pulled away from the hug. He waved as I hopped into the truck, and was still waving until the truck turned a corner and was out of sight of the house. I sighed and sat back in my seat.
"Don't worry," my mom said, smiling serenely. "It's not that far away. You'll still see Sora in school." She laid a hand on my arm. "There's a wonderful view of the sea from our new house, and this cute little islet not too far away."
"Yeah," I grumbled, not really in the mood for talking. Thankfully, she didn't seem intent on continuing the conversation.
The house didn't seem all that bad, really. It was actually pretty nice, but maybe I just didn't feel in the mood to admire its exterior beauty. I was slightly surprised to find that my bed had already been moved into my new room, but not much else. It was almost depressing how empty it was. I grimaced when I realized it didn't have its own bathroom, like my one back home. That would be a difficult adjustment.
Carrying the stuff in from the truck didn't take all that long, since the major stuff was already here, but by the time I had unpacked everything, frustrated when I couldn't find enough wall space for my favorite Shins poster, I was completely exhausted.
There was no time to sleep, however, since mom needed my help moving a few things down to the basement. While I was down there, I found some sort of makeshift wooden boat. It was a few inches deep with wings on either end to keep it balanced. Two notches on either side showed where the oars, which were small things that also seemed homemade, were meant to go. I was studying it when my mom came downstairs.
"What are you looking at?" She said, coming up beside me to look. She fingered the small boat and wrinkled her nose. "It looks old, Riku. Probably infested with termites. Do me a favor and take it to the curb, okay?" I hauled the thing onto my back and took it upstairs, rolling my eyes. Nothing seemed wrong with it to me. It looked like it was in great condition.
Once outside, I caught a glimpse of that "cute little islet" my mom had mentioned before. It wasn't far away at all. Actually, it looked close enough to row to. I glanced at the boat on my back and an idea formed in my head. I dropped the thing on the ground and hid it under the porch, heading back inside.
I was so exhausted that as soon as I pulled the sheets and comforter onto my bed I crawled into it and went to sleep. Never mind that it was 5:00 in the evening. If my mom needed any more help, she would have to wait until tomorrow. I couldn't keep my eyes open.
When I woke up, it was just after 11:30 PM. I sat up and stretched. That was just what I needed. I felt refreshed and ready to put my plan into motion. The house was silent and, when I peeked outside my room, dark. That meant my mom had gone to sleep. I quickly dressed in my normal dark cargo pants and white vest and snuck out into the night.
It was eerie, being out at night. On an island with no nightlife, everyone turned in early. Not that I never been out here alone, but it never ceased to amaze me just how quiet it could be. As opposed, of course, to the daytime when the sounds of laughing and playing from the overabundance of kids could be heard wherever you went.
The walk to Sora's took longer than I expected, but when I got there I was pleased to note that the lights were still on. I almost went up to the door, but then realized how weird it would be to just show up at night uninvited.
Looking around, I located a stone and threw it gently at the window to Sora's bedroom. Then I quickly hid in some bushes, just in case Roxas looked outside instead of Sora.
I was lucky. The window was pushed up and a chocolate head looked out warily. I grinned as I saw the confused look on his face. This was too good to pass up.
"But soft," I said, loud enough for him to hear. My grin widened as his head whipped in my direction, looking for the source of the voice. "What light form yonder window breaks? It is the East, and…ow!" I rubbed my head, where a book Sora had thrown hit me.
"Riku," Sora hissed angrily. "If that's you, you had better show yourself right now!"
Smiling sheepishly, I stood from the bushes, my hands spread defensively. "It's me, it's me," I laughed. "Sorry, I couldn't resist."
Sora glared at me, his eyes burning with anger and, I noted contentedly, some amusement. "What are you doing here?" He said in a low voice, just loud enough for me to hear.
I shrugged. "I wanted to ask if you would go on a nighttime adventure with me. Unless, of course, you have something better to do." He looked around behind him, and then back down at me.
"What kind of adventure?"
I shook my head. "Nuh-uh, don't ruin the surprise. You have to come with me to find out."
He bit his lip thoughtfully and then disappeared. For a minute, I was stunned, thinking he had rejected my offer. But I was relieved when the lights went off and he started climbing down. I took the opportunity to admire his ass in the seemingly-too-tight jeans he was wearing.
I caught him as he jumped to the ground and grinned. "Well, what do we have here? Seems an angel's fallen from the sky." He blushed and whacked me on the head, making me put his down.
"I wish you wouldn't do stuff like that," he mumbled. "You know how much I hate it."
I said nothing to that comment, only grabbed his hand in mine, entwining my fingers with his. "Come on, let's go before the wind picks up."
We walked in silence, me reveling in the freedom an empty town provided. With no one around, Sora didn't pull his hand out of my grasp. And he didn't protest when I stole small kisses. It made me feel like Sora and I were the only two people on the whole island. It made me feel happy.
When we reached my house, I released Sora's hand and pulled the boat out from its hiding place. I told Sora to grab the oars and headed down towards the water, which was thankfully calm.
Realization seemed to dawn on Sora when he caught sight of the small islet. "We're going there?" He asked nervously.
"Yep," I said, pushing the boat into the water.
"Isn't it a little far?"
I turned to find Sora with a blush on his cheeks, fear glinting in his eyes. I pulled him to me and laid a kiss on his forehead. "I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." I smiled reassuringly. Sighing, he got into the boat.
The trip over was as uneventful as I thought it would be. True, Sora gripping the sides for dear life made me fear for the life of the boat, but other than that everything was smooth sailing.
Sora stepped out of the boat gratefully, if not altogether gracefully. His legs were wobbling and I had to support him for a few minutes until he finally calmed down.
When he said he was all right, I grabbed his hand again and led him down the beach. I didn't know where I was going, but I figured I would find something on this tiny spit of land that was worthwhile.
I wasn't disappointed. After a few minutes, we came across a small plateau with vines crawling up the sides. I helped Sora climb up and then followed, staring around in appreciation. The whole patch of land had a few palm trees growing on one side. On the other side, a tree that grew sideways with star-shaped yellow fruits growing from the branches looked like it might make a nice bench.
Sora had sat down on the tree, staring up at the weird fruit. I pulled myself up and sat beside him.
"Want one?" I asked, sliding my arm around his waist.
He shrugged slowly. "I don't know, they might be poisonous."
"They don't look poisonous." I frowned. "I can get one for you."
He shook his head. "No, it's all right. We shouldn't eat them if we don't know what they are." He glanced at me, and I could sense the lie in his voice.
I rolled my eyes and stood up, balancing along the tree and reaching up, plucking one of the fruits from the branch. I plopped down next to Sora and tentatively bit down on it.
Unfortunately, it was all rubbery, like a banana. Frowning again, I picked at it until some of the skin came off. Underneath, it was a tinged-blue white color. Peeling some more, I took a tiny bite from the tip.
It wasn't bad. It tasted like every tropical fruit ever thought of combined into one. I waited to see if there would be any weird effects, but, when after a few minutes nothing had happened, I concluded that this was a perfectly safe fruit.
"It's good," I said, handing the remains to Sora. He took a bite of it and his face lit up. We tossed it back and forth, taking a bite each, until it was completely gone. I threw the peel into the sea and sat on the ground with my back to the strange tree. Sora sat next to me and, to my surprise, laid his head in my lap.
I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair, watching the sea and our island, which seemed farther away. We sat like that for a while, just reveling in each other's presence. At least something good had come of this move. This could be our place. Here, we wouldn't have to worry about our parents or the rest of the world. Here we could pretend we were the only two people alive, masters of our own destiny and life. We could do and say whatever we wanted, without the constant fear of being found out.
We could be happy.
"Hey, Riku?"
"Hm?"
"Why'd you bring me out here tonight?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. I thought it would be a nice way to be alone with you. Do you not like it?"
"No, I do," he said. "It's nice here. But…" He shifted on my lap so that he was laying on his back, staring up at me. I stared back. "Why me?"
I laughed slightly. He flushed and looked away, but I turned his head back towards me. "Why you?" I said. "Shouldn't that be kind of obvious?" I leaned down to kiss him deeply.
"Because I love you, silly," I said breathlessly when I pulled away.
Sora blinked and averted his gaze again, staring up at the sky. I was transfixed by the stars reflecting in his bright blue eyes and had to fight to keep from kissing him again.
He took a deep breath. "Riku…"
"You don't have to say anything now," I said, waving whatever he was going to say away.
He looked a little disappointed when he turned his gaze back towards me. "How can you be so patient like that? I mean, before…when we had that fight…"
"I was selfish then," I said, shrugging. "I thought I had a right to be with you, regardless. But now that I have you…I have no reason to be selfish anymore." I smiled. "It feels really good, Sora."
He smiled in return and sat up, pulling me into a kiss. It wasn't long before he was probing, searching for entrance with his tongue. I allowed him to dominate somewhat, laying full claim to my mouth while I did the same to him.
I got lost, as I usually did, in the feeling of his mouth and his arms as they wrapped around my neck as I held him firmly by the hips. So it took me a few seconds to realize it when he laid me back and began unbuttoning my pants.
I sat up on my elbows. "Sora?"
He pushed me back down. "Just lay back and relax, Riku."
Realization dawned and I sat up again. "You don't have to…"
"I want to," he said sincerely, meeting my gaze. "Please, let me do this."
I hesitated slightly, then nodded and laid back, trying to calm my erratically beating heart and the throbbing in my groin.
The air wasn't cold, but I still shivered when my pants were unzipped and my half-erection was exposed to the air. I let out a small moan when Sora reached his hand in and pulled it out fully, pumping it a few times to full hardness.
I swallowed a thick lump of groans and curses stuck in my throat as I saw Sora lower his head towards the most sensitive part of me. He had a nervous expression on his face, unsure.
"Sora, you don't have to do this," I repeated.
His gaze flicked up towards me for a second, challenging, and then his closed his mouth around me, going deep. I let out a gasp and shuddered, accidentally bucking up into Sora's mouth. He gagged and shot back up, blushing deeply.
"I'm sorry," he mumbled, biting one of his knuckles nervously. The whole scene was just so cute, I could help but smile.
"Watch out for the gag reflex," I warned jokingly. "Don't take on so much next time."
"Yeah…" He said, leaning down again. "Are you going to…ya know…" he looked embarrassed again, "Buck into my mouth again?"
"Hold down my hips," I suggested. "I can't promise I'll be able to control myself."
He complied and leaned down again, licking the tip tentatively. I hissed.
"God, yes," I breathed.
Taking this as a good sign apparently, Sora went down a little further, sucking gently. I let out a little gasp of pleasure and fisted the dirt below me, pulling clumps up into my hands and leaving shallow holes.
I kept my gaze trained on the starry sky, because I knew that if I looked down at the chocolate head bobbing up and down between my legs I wouldn't be able to hang on.
I groaned as Sora ran his tongue up the vein on the underside, the part that was ultra-sensitive. For being his first time, he was very good at this. Maybe there was something to what Tidus had said.
Sora wrapped his hand around the parts he couldn't reach with him mouth and pumped. Sparks exploded behind my eyes, and I made the mistake of glancing down; mistake. Sora was staring up at me with lust-filled eyes, somehow managing to stay in complete control of the whole situation.
My breathing sped up and I clenched my eyes shut, feeling release not to far off. "S-Sora," I gasped by way of warning. He seemed to take the hint, because he sped up his efforts.
My head fell back and I arched up as orgasm hit. I was vaguely aware of Sora moving away, but my pleasure-baked brain was too busy to truly notice it.
As I caught my breath, laying limply on the ground, I felt Sora wriggle up next to me, laying his head on my chest. I possessed the state of mind to wrap one arm around him, pulling him as close as possible tightly.
When I came fully down from my high, I kissed Sora on the top of his head. He looked up at me.
"Did I do well?" He asked hesitantly. I smiled at him and nodded.
"Good," he said, seeming relieved. "I wanted to swallow like you had, but…I sort of chickened out last-minute."
I ruffled his hair affectionately. "You are too cute, Sora. God, I love you."
He sat up slightly and looked at me, a defiant look in his eyes. He leaned forward and kissed me lingeringly.
"I love you too," he said in a low voice, dropping it as if it were a secret. "I mean it, really. I love you Riku."
I smiled and ran a hand up and down his back. "That means a lot coming from you, Sora. You don't know how long I've wanted to hear you say that."
We laid there for a while, Sora practically on top of me, just enjoying each other's company. I became aware of Sora's breathing becoming more even and I realized he had begun to doze. But I had no intention of waking him. Not yet. Nobody would miss us. We were the masters of our own destiny, in love and together, happy.
They couldn't touch us here.
