Aiko's body felt light and airy, like she was walking on a cloud. The sun had almost completely gone down now, and there was only a sliver of soft glowing light showing. Riku had placed one hand on the small of her back, with his other in the water to hold himself up. Aiko had her arms wrapped around his neck loosely, and was milking the hypnotic kiss for all it was worth.
After a few seconds, the two pulled away simultaneously, and Aiko was the first to speak. "Wow..." Her cheeks were light pink.
Riku chuckled, and stood up in the water. "I agree" Was all he said, and he pulled her up. Both were soaking wet now, and the moment they were up on their feet, they were tackled by Kairi and Sora.
"It's about time you two~ I know this would happen!" Sora said with an ecstatic smile, and Kairi was hugging Aiko.
"And I knew he'd take a liking to you, Aiko" Aiko was still blushing, and Riku smirked.
"Oh, so you were into me for a while now...?" He raised a silver colored eyebrow, and the four of them started laughing, already knowing the answer to that.
"Alright come on everyone, before we catch a cold let's go change into dry clothes. Then we can watch the stars~" Kairi said, and hurried out of the water while Sora chased her.
Riku looked over at Aiko, and in one swift moment, had tossed her over his shoulder as if she was light as a feather.
"Riku~! Ah, don't drop me!" Aiko said in between her fits of laughter, and Riku just hopped out of the water with a smile on his face and the water dripping off them like they were each individual waterfalls.
The girls went into Kairi's shack, while the boys separated and went into their own. In a matter of minutes, the girls came out with their hair left wet and in dry clothes, same as the boys.
"Let's head over to the island and watch the stars from there. It's a beautiful view" Kairi said, and held Sora's hand.
Riku held his hand out to Aiko, and she took it graciously. All four walked to the island. and while Riku and Aiko sat atop the leaning tree, Sora and Kairi sat beneath it. The stars were twinkling overhead and as far as their eyes could see, and it made them all feel at ease.
"Hey, check it out. A shooting star!" Sora said and pointed, and both girls immediatly closed their eyes. Sora and Riku did as well, and once they were done, Sora smiled.
"I wished for an ice cream sundae~" He said with his usual adorable smile, and after the four of them shared a laugh, Kairi and Sora shared a kiss, while Riku and Aiko did as well.
