Stupid sticky key! Why you no let me update?!

Sorry I've been absent for so long, guys. My keyboard was acting up, so I couldn't type the rest of the chapter. But now I can and did! Aren't you excited?!

On to the story!

I don't own Kingdom Hearts or true love.


Sora had not been prepared for his best friend to say that to him. Ever. Riku was amazing and everything, but this was something that Sora thought would be given to a special girl, like Namine or Olette. Receiving a kiss from Riku was the last thing he thought he would be getting today.

"K-k-k-k-"

"Heh. You're cute when you blush." Riku chuckled.

And then that last bit of space vanished between them and disappeared from sight. Sora immediately noted the difference from drunk Riku and sober Riku when it came to kissing. With the drunk version, he had been dominant and passionate, grabbing all the oxygen from the room and leaving Sora dizzy and helpless. But the Riku that was kissing him now was sweet, relaxed and left him flustered and shy.

Riku pulled away slightly to look at his friend's reaction. The brunette was red in the face, his eyes closed and those soft lips parted, looking inviting. He couldn't hold back and leaned in for another, to which caught Sora off guard once more. The kiss stayed on the sweet side, never growing into anything more than a chaste embrace that warmed the two.

Riku slowly pulled away, allowing the taste of Sora to linger on his lips before he moved back, forcing himself to stay under control. Shaking, Sora opened his eyes and swallowed thickly, his tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth.

"Well?"

"I…er…you kiss differently when you're drunk."

Riku snorted. "I don't even want to know."

Sora blushed harder. "Um…so…I'm guessing that you're still gonna move in…right?"

The older male smirked. "Is that going to be a problem if I do?"

Sora lowered his eyes and smiled softly. "Not even close."

That look alone deserved another kiss, which Riku took up without hesitation. He now realized Sora was far more addicting then he let on. Once he pulled away, the brunette took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"What was that for?"

"For being too much." He pecked Sora's cheek, then moved his mouth to his ear. "And because you are very addictive."

Sora, embarrassed at the words, said nothing. Riku chuckled, finding that this was far better than he ever expected. He wished he had done this a long time ago…

"Riku?"

He snapped to attention. "Yes, Sora?"

"I love you."

Riku literally pulled Sora over on top of him, finding his lips again. And the two stayed that way for a good while, laying together on their couch, simply exchanging loving kisses and quiet, sweet words.


Months went by, Riku had settled in without any problems and their relationship became public in an instant. Riku could have cared less and Sora was as happy as could be knowing that he was with the love of his life and everyone knew it. Now, instead of girls hitting on Riku whenever they went somewhere together, they were gushing and giggling at them holding hands or kissing in public.

Life was perfect.

Until Sora began to get sick. Nothing big, just food poisoning every once in a while. Riku was gentle and caring, making sure he took time off from work whenever this happened, being Sora's nurse for the day. The sweet brunette was fine the next day, going about his day without any problems. Neither of them questioned it or really paid it much mind the first few times it occurred.

But then it happened again and next day. Riku's boyfriend began to complain about being sore and nauseous, constantly finding himself lying in bed or sitting on the floor of their bathroom. Neither of them had any clue what was going on, but Riku's mind had ideas that snuck inside, leaving him worried and shaken to the core.

Riku finally couldn't take it anymore after Sora made another round in the bathroom, wincing at the gagging noises that echoed. He made his way over to the door and leaned against the doorframe.

"Sora, we need to go to the hospital."

The brunette made a choking noise and moaned. "...alright..."

"I'll be in the car, okay?"

Sora nodded, leaning back over the toilet bowl while Riku walked away to go snatch the keys from the kitchen table, going out the door. He was honestly terrified of what the doctors might say once they finished examining his lover. Cancer? An incurable disease? Worse? He got into the car and leaned his head on the steering wheel, praying that it was nothing of the sort.


Now we get into the real plot! :D

Everyone ready to meet the third member of our party?
