so here, thank you incredibly for people who reviewed and added to favourites or alerted. i love you all!
Riku choked on the smoke he inhaled. Leaning over his balcony, he watched his fluffy cat stalk over to the bushes. A slighter smaller feline crept out to meet him.
"Why can Mr. Snugglekins be with someone but I can't?" he sighed.
"Cause Mr. Snugglekins is cat?" He knew it was his mother. He sighed again, twisting so he looked at her.
"Well done mother, by the way I'm not gay." His mum went to open her mouth but he cut her off suddenly, "I'm bi. Always have been, but mostly gay. And Sora is a boy, just please don't ask me to leave him..." his voice was cracking as he remembered Sora trying to reach for him. "I don't think I can do it again..."
Sad blue eyes filled with sympathy and he welcomed the hug she had waiting for him.
"Its okay darling, I'm not worried about that. You'll see him again, right? You can tell me what happened, I won't get angry."
She was a little stressed at his story, but not particularly livid like Hoshi. She stroked her son hair away from his forehead as he rested on her lap. It was like when he was younger, but sometime all the little petty things that upset him changed into life-changing situations.
"Do you love him?" She teased, planting a kiss on his clear skin.
"This isn't funny, I'm serious."
"So am I," she insisted. "Do you love him?"
"Yeah...I don't to see him get hurt...when I wake up I want him there, he looks so innocent when he's sleeping. Every so often his tongue will peep out and lick his lips. When he's about to wake up he turns toward the window matter what. If he's still tired he whimpers for coffee before anything else."
"You're sleeping with him?"
"No..." But I wish I was he added silently he must feel amazing. "And when he's pushed against me..." he muttered. He heard his mother's crystal laugh; he opened his eyes realizing he was daydreaming.
"Aw my baby's tired. I'll let you go to sleep," she chuckled sliding from the bed. "Night Ri-koo!"
"Night mum..." the light flicked out and the door was pulled to. He pushed himself up to the right side of the bed. He flung his arm across his eye for his sleeves to catch his tears, and let out a sob.
"Hey, I think we should just go back to the gang." Kadaj slipped on his jacket in front of Riku's door.
"Yeah," Yazoo agreed quietly, "we have to report in".
"Sora, hello again, so what were you? A Dusk?"
"I wasn't really anything, I was due to get my number, but I left."
"Pity. You would have been worth so much more." She flicked her black hair from her shoulder. "Take a seat," she sighed. "So I guess we can't hold you hostage." He sat cautiously opposite her skin had a deathly green tinge to it; her long nails were tapping the desk.
"So who is this, Riku, boy you've been hanging around with?"
"I don't know-"
"We know you do, we have pictures. He's currently visiting his home. We have connections you know."
"Why were you following me?"
"We wanted to use you against the organization."
"I won't betray them," he hissed clenching his fists. "And leave Riku out of this whole thing."
She sighed, "I'll try."
"He looks cuter in the pictures." a voice came from the doorway. "But otherwise we see why Riku likes him." Dull green eyes studied him.
"You got here fast, didn't you?" maleficent looked mildly surprised.
"We took the car. I'm Yazoo." A boy with long hair stroked their captive's cheek.
"I'm Kadaj," the shorter haired one smiled ruffling his hair, "can we keep him?"
"We need him back next week, preferably unharmed."
"We'll just give him to Riku for the time being then."
"What happens next week?" Sora asked glancing between the three.
Maleficent smiled innocently.
"We kill you."
"She's joking..."
"She's not." Yazoo sighed from the front, watching his brother focus on driving; he looked so cute when he was concentrating.
"But she's got to be, I'm of no use."
"She isn't, you've seen where we're based, you can go squealing to anyone." Kadaj glanced back.
"Concentrate on the road." Yazoo muttered to him.
"She's got-"
"LOOK! Yazoo pounded the dashboard before rounding on him. "She will get a real gun, and blast your thick brains out. So we'll get home so you can fuck Riku and we'll live like normal." He sat back stressed and holding his head. His brother whispered comforting words while Sora stared out of the window thinking one thing.
'Then what happens to Riku...?'
"I can't liiiiiiiiiivvvve,
if living is without yooooooooouuuu,
I can't liiiiiiiiiiiivvv-"
"Jesus Christ, Riku, shut up" Kadaj screamed over the din. "You'll see him again."
"You don't know how I feel," Riku whined, "I want my Sora...I haven't seen him in almost," he did a quick count, "seventeen hours."
"You fell asleep for 5 hours; it's 3 in the morning, shut up." Riku stared for a while.
"If living is without yooo-"
"Fine," Kadaj picked up his phone, "Yazoo, put him on." Kadaj then held the phone out to Riku.
"You agree this is Yazoo? Yes?"
"Well, duh." Riku rolled his eyes.
Here a slight shuffle, breathing then-
"Hello? Riku?"
"Sora?"
"Oh thank god, where are you?"
"I'm coming to get you. Can you see anything?"
"I can't, I'm blindfolded." Then the connection went dead.
"Hey? No, I want to speak to Sora."
"Find him and you'll get to do more then that." Kadaj whispered, he wrapped a black cloth around his eyes and tied his hands together with rope. Pushing Riku out of the door he shouted, "Good luck, he's in the first floor, just don't bang into anything."
"How many rooms are on the first floor?" Sora asked of curiosity.
"About 14," Yazoo stared a list, "2 bathrooms, 4 studies, 2 living rooms and 6 bedrooms."
"Do you really need that on just the first floor? Seems a bit much."
"Yeah, well we used to throw a lot of parties and we'd all get so drunk they couldn't drive home or they'd just collapse and the chauffeurs usually stay too. "
"Ah, makes sense," Sora shrugged, and then a large piece of cloth was forced into his mouth all that came out were muffled protests.
"Sorry, Sora darling, you're cute, but we have to gag you to stop you calling out to Riku and ruining the game."
Sora shrugged again, everything still made sense to him.
"Now Sora-kins just stay here and relax."
Riku blindly felt his way down the hall, his hands brushing over the panels in the wooden wall. He had to be quiet since it was fairly late, last he remembered it was 3:30. He sighed opening the door to the 3rd bedroom.
"Hello?" He called to the darkness.
"Er...Riku can you leave we're trying to um...sleep." Axel voice reached his ears, Roxas' giggle was quickly heard.
"Ah...ah! Sorry, I'll just..." he gulped, go." He stumbled out thankful for the blindfold and carried on, it that was Axel's room that would mean the next was his own. Flying in he stumbled before falling with the grace of a dead swan. He saw a glimmer of light from the window realizing his blindfold had slipped from his right eye about to leave he heard a small whine of his name.
Stopping, he awkwardly flicked his bedside lamp on filling the room with a dim glow. He smiled softly at the sight of Sora sleeping. Even though as equally tied up he seemed to be having a restful sleep.
Riku strained his wrists against the ropes, but to no avail they came loose.
"Fine we'll let you go," he glanced up see Yazoo standing behind Kadaj, in his hand was a small penknife. "In return you take us out tomorrow, with Sora if he so wishes".
"Thanks," Riku muttered rubbing his raw skin.
"Sure," Kadaj tugged Yazoo along, "keys are on the table."
Riku shut the door, and then crept over to unbind Sora.
Sliding the blindfold and gently removing the gag, he stroked his cheek and wiped off a little dribble smiling. The knots were easy to undo without a knife, the key was indeed on the table. Sighing with relief that Sora was a heavy sleeper he curled around Sora, his mouth breathing gently on his ear and hand resting comfortably on his stomach.
Sora shifted slightly and leaned back into the warmth that half covered him.
But the flash of white light and click brought him to his senses. He sat up glaring at the twins giggling, he heard mumbles of annoyance before her was staring at an insanely tired Riku his usually pristine hair was a mess, Sora giggled leaning closer to stroke the unruly hair.
"Good morning," he smiled still half asleep.
"Hm...Riku." Sora leaned in to hug him.
"Oh, Yazoo!"
"Oh, Kadaj." the twins attacked each other in a bear-hug.
"Yeah, yeah very funny..." Riku muttered holding Sora, but Kadaj and Yazoo still weren't finished with their play.
"I love you, let's have hot passionate sex!"
"Get out!" Riku shouted throwing the pillow at them.
"Get dressed and come meet us downstairs." Yazoo ordered.
"I don't want to move." Sora wrapped his legs loosely around Riku's waist.
"Hmm..." Riku agreed his hand moving down Sora's back to slide up his shirt.
"Ah...Riku...let go, we have to go..." he jumped but still allowed the hand to rise further.
Yazoo pulled open the door screaming "hurry up," at them before slamming it again.
Pouting Riku let Sora slide off him before tugging his own shirt off.
"Don't peek," he teased, Sora giggled in return. This just felt relaxing, calming and right.
Kadaj and Yazoo had interrupted their time 4 times. The first two times were in the cinema, they tried to whisper but were just "shh" ed they tried to kiss but were nudged and had food thrown at them. The third was near a prize stall, Riku had handed Sora a small pale bear, leaned down to kiss him, but before he could he was smacked around the head with kadaj's newly won bear. At the end of his tether, Riku pulled Sora away heading towards the Ferris wheel. Around the corner from it Riku smiled finally this was his chance.
"Oh, Riku, look a Ferris wheel!"
"Well no duh, let's go on shall we?" He was pissed. he dragged Sora onto the ride and pulled the door shut.
Fuming Yazoo and Kadaj were forced into the next one as they watched Riku and Sora together above them.
"I don't see any reason why I can't now," Riku stroked Sora's cheek, pulling back his hair.
"Oh Riku, this view is amazing!" Sora stood suddenly, pressing himself against the glass as if he wanted to disappear into the sunset.
Rolling his eyes Riku went to stand beside the boy, "Yeah, this place is famous for its sunsets; with the sea just there the sun glittering off it, it looks beautiful. But I don't want to look at the sunset, I want to see you. Just you."
"Sirs? Are you stepping off now?"
Interruptions again!
Almost growling, Riku tugged Sora out then broke into a run pulling Sora behind him. The crowd shoved past him, he could only hope they couldn't see them in the mass of swirls and colours.
"There they are! Come Yazoo, run!"
The silver haired youths ran towards to the stall, but by the time they had reached it, their companions had disappeared.
