Sora wakes up feeling hands in his hair, and nails scratching his scalp. He's surrounded by warmth. Sora doesn't want to open his eyes, there's a pain in his head that's not unbearable but it's unpleasant. He settles back down, rubbing his head against the firm mattress. He's about to go back to sleep when he hears Roxas.
"What the hell are you doing with him on top of you?" He growls. Hearing Roxas's voice reminds Sora of what he saw last night. He wished he had forgotten but the memory pops up easily. Sadly he wasn't that drunk last night. Rage wells up, along with bile. He feels like he's going to be sick.
"He's sleeping." Sora tenses when his mattress speaks. Those hands in his hair haven't stopped their treatment. "Fuck off." Riku is being quiet but the warning is clear in his tone.
Sora isn't sure he's ready for today. The only reason he's pretending to be asleep now is because he has no idea what he's going to say to Roxas. There's a part of him that wants to scream at the blonde but there's another part that doesn't even want to see him right now. Sora has been betrayed.
"I should have been watching Sora more closely. I knew you would be all over him. How many times do I have to tell you that he's mine. Did you do something to him?" Roxas's tone screams over protective. It's how Roxas is but...
It pisses Sora off.
"How dare you say something like that!" Sora growls, he feels Riku tense under him and he sees Roxas's eyes widen in surprise. He sits up, wincing when there's a pain in his head but he keeps his glare on Roxas. "How can you call me yours and act like this after what you've done!"
"What are you talking about Sora?" Roxas frowns deeply when he looks at how those baby blues are burning with a fire directed towards him.
"What's all the commotion?" Axel walks into the room, rubbing his eye. He stops next to Roxas, those green eyes alight when he sees Sora and Riku on the couch. Riku has sit up with Sora, his aqua eyes glaring at the two.
Sora's chest burns from seeing him. He stands up from the couch quickly. He has to sit back down when his vision swims and the room starts to spin.
"Careful." Riku puts an arm around his shoulder and helps him get up. "Don't get up too quickly."
"Stop putting your arm around him. I can help him up-" Roxas moves closer but Sora's glare stops him. Roxas's eyes widen. "Sora why are you looking at me like that-"
"I saw you and Axel last night." Sora snaps, moving from Riku to take a step towards Roxas. "I walked right into it! He was sucking your dick! And don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. You weren't that drunk last night."
Roxas's face goes from confused to very, very pale. "Y-You saw that? Oh God Sora." He starts to get panicked. "It was a lapse in judgment. I got too drunk and-"
"Were you even going to tell me?!" Sora fums. " How dare you sit there and act like nothing happened! I was drunk last night too Roxas but I didn't go and get sucked off by some other guy-" Sora remembers kissing Riku and he swallows. "I may have slipped up and kissed Riku but I caught myself quickly. I felt bad about it and I went to tell you. That's when I found you and Axel-"
"You kissed Riku?" Roxas glares at Sora. "What the hell Sora-"
"Don't 'what the hell Sora' me! You were getting sucked off by Axel! And you sure as hell weren't feeling bad about it either! I could hear you moaning all the way from the other room." Sora yells, his face getting hot from his anger.
"I'm sorry! Okay things got out of hand and...Fuck!" Roxas shakes his head. "I was going to tell you okay? I just didn't want it to be like this. It was a mistake. It won't happen again-"
"I can't trust you!" Sora snaps. "How do I know it won't happen again? You did that shit when I was in the same place as you. What would you do with Axel when I'm not there-"
"I was drunk!" Roxas growls. "I'm not some kind of slut-"
"Says the guy that was whoring it up with Axel yesterday!" Sora feels the tension, he knows he's getting closer to Roxas. He knows the anger is building to dangerous levels. "I don't even know if you guys did more than that. The blow job was the only thing that I saw."
"We didn't do anything else!" Roxas grips his fist. "I made a mistake, just like you made a mistake. If you don't remember Sora, you cheated on me too-"
"A kiss and a blow job is on a whole different level!" Sora yells, pushing Roxas. His rage is over flowing. "Don't compare what you did to me! You betrayed me, Roxas."
"Don't push him." Axel takes a step closer, those green eyes blazing. He had been watching with secret glee up to that point. "It's not his fault that you couldn't satisfy him." Axel licks his lips, the same lips that were over Roxas's cock the night before. "He-"
Sora winds his fist back before colliding it with Axel's jaw. The force is enough to make the taller man stumble back a few feet.
"Fuck you Axel!" Sora watches as Axel slowly turns his head back to look at him. Those green eyes are dilated and dangerous. Axel pulls his fist back but it's caught before it could ever hurt Sora.
"You deserved that." Riku tightens his grip on Axel's wrist to the point it's painful. Riku has been watching Sora and Roxas go back and forth with his own growing anger towards Roxas and Axel. His face is stone as his aqua eyes burn into Axel's orbs.
Axel rips his hand from Riku, the two taller men staring each other down.
Sora would love to see Riku beat the shit out of Axel but he's tired of seeing his face. He's tried of seeing Roxas too.
"Come on Riku. We're leaving." Sora turns on his heel, grabbing his bag that he had brought. Riku glances back at him and without a word, he follows him, grabbing his stuff as well and flinging it over his shoulder.
"Sora you can't just walk away from this." Roxas shakes his head. "And you can't just leave with him! We need to talk this out-"
"I don't want to talk it out. I'm leaving. I need to get away from you." Sora hates when his voice cracks.
"Are you going to cry?" Axel sneers.
"Axel shut the fuck up." Roxas and Riku say at the same time. The red head glares but he shuts his mouth.
"Sora come back-" Roxas tries again.
"No! Roxas I can't believe you. All those times you said you loved me...I actually felt bad. I felt like I wasn't giving you enough. I'm done feeling bad. Fuck you Roxas." Sora walks out of the house, Riku close behind.
"Just leave with him then! Go and make out with him some more why don't you?!" Roxas yells after them. Riku slams the door after flipping Roxas the bird.
"He's such a jack ass." Sora trembles. He hates when he feels the tears at the corner of his eyes again. He tenses when he feels arms wrap around him and a firm chest against his cheek.
"You don't need that Sora." Riku's voice is calming. Sora finds himself clinging to the taller male. "It's okay to cry."
"I don't want to here." Sora sniffles. Ew. He's gross, his voice is so whinny.
"I'm going to call Cloud. He'll give us a ride." Riku picks Sora up, he's still trying to hide his face so he doesn't fight it. He lets Riku carry him away from Axel's home. When Riku deems they are far enough away from the home, he puts Sora back down.
When Sora goes to pull away, Riku presses his head back in his chest. "It's fine." Sora is grateful. He didn't want to move from his chest. He feels...safe.
Riku calls Cloud. When the conversation is over, Riku rubs the top of Sora's head. "Cloud will be here in ten minutes. He lives around here."
"Alright..." Sora pulls away when he feels like he's going to be sick. It's good too because soon he pukes to the side. Sora puts his hands on his knees and breathes deeply. "Ugh I hate when it gets in your nose."
"It's not pleasant." Riku agrees. Sora's chest tightens when he feels Riku's hand on his back, rubbing him soothingly.
"I feel like I need to take a shower. I'm all nasty." Sora wipes his mouth. "I defiantly need to brush my teeth."
"Cloud will probably let us use his shower at his place." Sora looks at Riku. He really looks at him for the first time today. Riku is staring at him intently. There's something different about him. He's not smug but there's this confidence that wasn't there yesterday. He's being more open with the looks he gives Sora and the touches.
Sora blushes remembering how he had told Riku he liked him yesterday. He wonders if he remembers that...
"What are you blushing about?" Riku raises his eyebrow but he's starting to grin.
"N-Nothing." Sora huffs, looking forward.
"Hmm."
Sora is happy when he sees Cloud's reckless driving. He skids to a stop in front of them, the window coming down. Cloud look at the two before his nose wrinkles. "Wow you both look like shit."
"Thanks." Riku grunts. "We need to borrow your shower."
"Yeah sure- Hey what's wrong with you?" Cloud frowns when he notes Sora's puffy eyes.
"It's a long story and not one he wants to talk about." Riku opens the car door for Sora. He gets in quickly and is a little surprised when he sees Leon in the passengers seat. Riku gets in after him.
"Is there someone I need to kick the shit out of?" Cloud's blue eyes get dark.
"Drive." Leon reminds.
Sora is tempted to give Axel's name. Oh it's so tempting. He'd love to see him get his ass kicked by a bunch of bad ass guys but right now Sora feels more tired than angry.
"Nah it's fine." Sora shakes his head. Cloud who started to drive, frowns.
"You just want to fight someone." Leon glances over at the blonde who glares at him.
"Uh no? If someone is messing with Sora, than I want to kick some ass. He's one of us now. So you're saying you're okay with seeing that face all red eyed?"
"..." Leon glances back at Sora. The brunette feels his face get hot from embarrassment. Leon nods his head before looking at Cloud. "No I'm not." He locks eyes with Sora. "If you need anything, let us know."
"Okay..." Sora is a bit amazed. Even though he's just met Cloud and Leon, he feels like they're really his friends. It's because of Riku but still. It's nice being cared for.
"I say since you're already on our side of town, we have a good old time together." Cloud's lips slowly turn in a smirk. "After we get you two cleaned up of course."
"That sounds good." Sora beams. Riku watches this from the corner of his eye before he smiles.
"It does." Riku agrees, reaching over to put his hand on Sora's arm. It's a comforting touch and Sora finds he appreciates the warmth. Sora looks out of the window, he tries not to think of Roxas or Axel. HE doesn't want to.
Sora is going to have fun. He's going to have fun with Cloud, Leon, and Riku. Cloud and Leon could be the new Roxas and Axel for all he cares.
Riku seems to have wormed his way into being his best friend once more.
"Ahhh." Sora sighs loudly as he comes out of the shower. It felt so good and now he feels clean. The turning of his stomach has stopped and he just feels 100 times better. The hot water did wonders on his stiff back and muscles. Sora gets on his clothes that he packed for the stay at Axels. A simple blue shirt and jeans.
Sora glances around the room. Cloud let them use his shower and let them use his room to get changed. The room is surprisingly plain and clean. Sora wonders if he's ever in here.
Sora takes a moment and sits on Cloud's bed. He holds his head in his hands, trying to sort things out. Sora isn't sure what he wants to do. It's not like he can avoid them forever. School is tomorrow. Roxas has been his best friend for awhile.
He still can't believe it.
"Do you want to talk about it Sora?" Sora tenses when the bathroom door opens. He looks over at Riku, he's already dressed.
"I don't know." Sora rubs the back of his neck. Riku walks over to him and sits next to him on the bed. For awhile they just sit there. The silence isn't uncomfortable and the weight of Riku by him is a nice. Sora takes a deep breath. "I knew Axel was up to something but I...I could have never saw this coming. Roxas is my best friend and yet..."
"It wasn't all Axel. Axel might have planned for it, even pushed it but it was Roxas in the end who decided to do that with him." Riku puts a hand on Sora's shoulder when he slumped. Those aqua eyes flare up. "They're both bastards." Riku looks at Sora for a moment before he asks the next question. "...What are you going to do about this?"
"I have no idea. I don't even want to see them but I know I'll have to face them tomorrow." Sora glares at his feet. "...I think i'm going to end the relationship me and Roxas have. I've been hesitant this whole time and after he's done something like this...I can't trust him to be more than my friend. I'd never know if he was doing things with Axel and it would just be stress."
"...I think that's smart." Riku agrees, he's keeping his face neutral. "After his actions last night, I don't think he deserves you as more than a friend."
"I wasn't a saint last night either." Sora sighs deeply. "I just think we should stop. Right now I'm pissed off but I know I don't want to stop being Roxas's friend. I'll probably try to avoid him for a bit though."
"Do you remember all of last night?" Riku asks, Sora feels Riku shift closer towards him.
"Yeah..." Sora's face catches on fire. He can't look at Riku right now.
"You said you like like me." Riku says and Sora is sure he has a smug smile on his lips. Sora looks over at him to glare only to find those aqua eyes staring at him intently. The smile is there but it's not smug. It's amused and relieved.
"Y-Yeah I guess I did." Sora chuckles at himself. "What am I? Five years old again?"
"I thought it was cute." Riku touches Sora's cheek gently. Sora swallows, thinking he's going to kiss him. Their faces are close. Those aqua eyes are zealous. "If you're not with Roxas, that means you're free..."
"Yeah..." Sora knows where this is going. Everything is going too fast though. Roxas cheated on him, he just decided to end their relationship and last night he finally realized he was into Riku. He knew Riku was attractive since when he came back but after they became friends, it was easy to gain feelings for him. The tightening of his chest and the excited feeling he got are now explained.
Riku loves him. He probably wants to jump on this opportunity to get him now that Roxas is out of the picture.
Riku stares at Sora a moment longer before leaning in. Instead of kissing him like he thought, he lays his head on Sora's forehead and takes a deep breath. There's a small smile on his lips. He just holds Sora's face in his hands.
It gets Sora's heart beating so fast you'd think that Riku just pulled him into a kiss. There's something so...intimate about this.
"What are you two doing up there? You need anything? A condom?" Cloud yells.
"We're not doing anything!" Sora yells back in panic. Riku chuckles at how red Sora gets. He hears Cloud laughing down stairs.
"Then come on! We're going to have some fun."
Riku gets up from the bed, turning to Sora with a large grin. His aqua eyes are so light that Sora finds what ever he was about to say to fall short. Damn that long hair, pale skin, and green eyes will be the death of him. Riku is too beautiful for a man. He especially looks the best when he's smiling like that.
"You heard him. Lets go have some fun." He holds out his hand.
Sora finds his voice and he grins back. It comes naturally as he takes his hand. "Hell yeah."
"Your idea of having fun is going to the store?" Sora raises his eyebrow when Cloud parks slanted in a parking space in front of said store.
"I have some stuff I need to buy first." Cloud gets out of the car, Leon just shaking his head.
"Admit it, you just wanted us to do errands with you." Riku grunts as he gets out of the car with Sora, everyone heading into the entrance.
"Not true." Cloud gives Riku this blank stare. "I would never."
"Yes you would." Leon and Riku say.
"You hate shopping and you like dragging others to do the work for you." Leon stares at Cloud with his stone expression.
"Sora don't listen to these people." Cloud puts his arm around Sora suddenly, the brunette blinking when the blonde starts to pull him away from Riku and Leon. "Me and you are friends right Sora?"
"Yeah sure." Sora nods his head, looking back at Riku who is marching over towards them.
"Then you'll get what's on this list right? It's not too much." Cloud shoves a paper against Sora's chest before he takes off right when Riku gets on them.
"Hey! You are trying to push your shopping on me!" Sora yelps, pointing a finger at Cloud who just smirks.
"Yes I am-"
"No you're not." Leon cuts Cloud off before he can get anywhere. His arms are crossed against his chest.
"You're doing your own shopping." Riku takes the list and shoves it into Cloud's chest. Sora moves to cut Cloud off so he can't get away.
"Damn. I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you douche bags." Cloud's blue eyes narrow, looking between Leon and Riku. Sora can't help to chuckle not being able to be serious. Riku glances at him before he laughs himself. Cloud still looks annoyed about his plans being thwarted but Leon gives off a small smile.
"What's on the list?" Leon asks Cloud when Riku and Sora are trying to get rid of their giggles.
"Too much. I need eggs, milk, and some other shit." Cloud's eyebrow twitches ever slightly as he looks at his list. "Stop laughing!" Cloud snaps. "This isn't fun!"
"I'm having fun."Sora chuckles.
"Cloud you need to get over your hate for shopping." Riku snickers.
"Not only is shopping not fun, you always, always run into some ass hole you don't like." Cloud grumbles when Leon takes the list from him and he starts leading the way towards the dairy products.
"Demyx stop trying to put tasty cakes in the cart." Sora's eyes widen when he hears that voice. Everyone stops and turns their head to see no other than Zexion and Demyx. Zexion looks about ready to explode.
"B-But! These are really good-" Demyx pouts.
"No." Zexion's face goes back to being blank as he takes the box away from the blonde and puts It back on the shelf calmly.
"Case and point." Cloud holds his hand towards the two. "You always run into people you can't stand, I told you!"
"Just focus on the list." Leon suggests, pointing towards the first thing on the list. Cloud grabs the eggs and puts them into the cart that Leon had grabbed.
"Demyx will bring Zexion over here so we will just act like we don't see them." Riku says when Cloud puts some milk in the cart with haste.
"The blonde guy is looking right at us." Sora says slowly when Demyx stops pouting over his tasty cakes. He's now staring in their direction. His blue eyes light up and he starts jumping up and down.
"Cloud! Riku! Sora! Leon!" Demyx squeals.
"Shit." Riku and Cloud curse.
"Hey guys! You're all out shopping too? Zexion is here too!." Demyx says excitedly as he comes to a stop in front of the four.
"Yeah we saw." Cloud wrinkles his nose when Zexion marches up to them with that indifferent expression of his.
"Demyx we're not done shopping." Zexion drawls.
"You should finish up shopping Dem. We'll catch you later." Cloud waves his hand. Riku and Sora nod when Demyx looks at them. They make a go away motion with their hand with Cloud.
"But Sora's here!" Demyx pouts before his eyes light up. He claps his hands together. "I know! We can all shop together!"
"Ehhh." Sora and Riku wince.
"That''ll be fun right Zexion?" Demyx starts to shake the man who looks like he wants to be anywhere but here.
"No."
"I wanna hang out with Sora." Demyx whines. Sora tenses when Zexion glares at him.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Zexion takes a step closer. "According to your facebook you live on the other side of town."
"If you must know Zexion we are out for a day of fun." Cloud replies shortly. "Stop creeping on Sora."
"Only idiots would go to a grocery store for a 'day of fun'."
"Says the guy whos idea of fun is reading books and cleaning." Riku grunts, getting a flash of anger in those blue eyes.
"That's interesting. You've said a sentence that doesn't have the name 'Sora' in it. How rare."
Riku's eyes narrow at that. "Fuck you Zexion."
"No, i'm sure it's Sora that you want to fuck. Not me." Zexion isn't letting up.
"Zexion I will beat your ass. I'm in no mood for your bullshit." Cloud speaks up.
"Sora I would be concerned hanging out with Riku." Zexion keeps at it. Sora glares at him.
"Dude come off it. I don't have anything to be concerned about. Riku is awesome."
"You sound gay for him as well."
"Maybe I am." Sora defends, crossing his arms. Everyone looks at him with wide eyes. Only then does Sora flush but he keeps his glare on. "S-So there."
"Wait! What?!" Cloud perks up. "You like Riku?! Riku did you hear that?"
"Cloud you are being too loud." Leon tries to calm the blonde down but he's grinning too largely himself.
"Yeah I heard it." Riku's face is bright red. Those aqua eyes have gotten brighter. It's funny. Sora doesn't really see Riku get flustered. It's cute.
"Gross." Zexion's nose wrinkles before he turns on his heel. "We're leaving Demyx-" Zexion turns on his heel only to stop when he spots Demyx sitting in the shopping cart with this big smile on his face. "Out of the cart."
"Zexion pleaseeee push me!"
"Get out of the cart and act your age." Zexion commands.
"Zexionnnnnnn." Demyx whines.
"You should date Riku." Cloud states boldly, getting Riku to sputter. "Forget Roxas."
"Cloud no. That's a sore subject." Riku frowns when he sees how Sora's eyes lower at the name of Roxas. Riku glares at Cloud, the blonde tensing from it's ferociousness.
"I was just saying" Cloud mumbles.
"Lets keep shopping." Leon suggests, watching Sora carefully.
"I'll get you some chocolate." Riku puts his hand on Sora's shoulder, getting him to look at those aqua eyes. They're so kind. Sora remembers when they use to be not so kind. Darker. But even then, this look wasn't completely gone. Sora just wasn't looking for it anymore.
Riku has been a big help. Just his presence makes Sora feel better.
"Okay." Sora perks up. Riku stares at him a moment, a bit surprised by the sudden change before he laughs fondly.
" Geez is that all it takes?" His grin is beautiful.
Sora feels that familiar increase of his heart rate. He really has to ask himself...why not date Riku? Why not go with Riku? There's something different about the way he feels about Riku compared to Roxas. The pull is stronger or maybe it's because their bond is stronger from growing up together? Or maybe it's Riku's long sliver hair that has Sora dazed.
Riku really is too good looking for his own good.
Sora flushes...He shouldn't be thinking this way so soon. He's still messed up by Roxas but last night his eyes were opened to something that he was oblivious too. His feelings for Riku. The way he feels when he's with him and how he would get warm...
The kiss was great too.
"...I want sooo much chocolate. I want to overdose on it." Sora says after his thoughts get too much for him and he feels like his face is going to explode.
Riku laughs and says something but all Sora can think about for the moment is that Riku was staring at his lips. It looked like he was in thought as well and his aqua eyes were cloudy.
When Sora thinks of Riku's feelings for him, he gets this fluttery feeling in his stomach and chest. It's not bad. When he thought of Roxas loving him...he felt guilt. Sora has always been one to follow his heart. He always goes with his gut. He's not one to think things through so...
It's obvious to him what direction his heart is pointing him now.
"Push meeee-" Demyx's yell breaks the intense gaze Riku and Sora were sharing.
"Fine! I'll push you alright!"Zexion's anger breaks through that calm exterior. He shoves the cart, Demyx throwing his arms in the air to cheer. Only to scream when he ends up running into a shelf from the hard push. A bunch of boxes of cereal fall onto Demyx, the blonde failing his arms around. Zexion smirks, seeming to take joy in Demyx's misfortune.
All the while Riku and Sora are cracking up from the display.
"That looked like fun." Sora grins, walking away quickly when Zexion throws them a sharp glare. "I wanna ride in the cart."
"Go for it." Riku's smile is playful. "Hey Leon, move the stuff over. Sora is going to get in the cart."
Leon stares at Riku and Sora for a moment. He looks like he might deny them but after looking at their smiles he just moves the food to the top to make room for Sora.
"Sweet!" Sora cheers, running over to the cart.
"You two are so childish." Cloud puts some bread on the top. "Stop having fun when I'm suffering."
"Oh hush." Sora giggles as he starts to climb into the cart. When it tips slightly to the left, his eyes widen and he gets down. He tilts his head, thinking of a way to get in without flipping the thing. He's not tall enough-
Leon picks Sora up from under his arms without any strain. He lifts him into the cart, Sora crossing his legs so he can fit in the cart sitting down. "Whoa! Leon you are awesome. You lifted me like it was nothing!"
"That's because it isn't. You barely weight anything." Riku grunts, moving Leon out of the way so he can be the one that pushes Sora. Sora can't see how his eyebrows are furrowed.
"I have a good weight on me! These muscles weigh stuff."
"What muscles?" Riku muses.
"Jerk." Sora glares back at him, getting Riku to chuckle. He smirks when he starts to push Sora in the cart. His big blue eyes brighten and he tightens his grip on the side of the cart. "Yess! Take me forward minion!" Sora cheers, throwing his arm in the air.
"Who you calling minion?" Riku raises a thin eyebrow. He grins as he starts to run, pushing the cart as fast as he can down the isle when it's clear. Sora yells in delight, throwing his arms in the air like this is some roller coaster. When the cart almost tilts forward, Sora yelps.
"Oh shit! Too fast! Too fast!" Sora starts shaking his head frantically. Riku chuckles and to Sora's relief he slows down.
"Stop playing with the cart!" Cloud yells after them, he's carrying some boxes along with Leon. "We need that for my shit."
"My ass is kind of hurting." Sora stands up in the cart to get out. He tries to think if he could just jump out without falling on his face like an idiot-
"Leon hold the cart steady." Riku says when it looked like the taller man was about to pick Sora up again. He glances at him before nodding.
Riku holds out his arms. "I'll catch you Sora."
"If you don't catch me I really will shove an oar up your ass."
"Maybe I want that."
"Riku shut up." Sora laughs, jumping out of the cart with little fear. Riku catches him with ease and sets him down nicely. "You get in next you weirdo."
"Me?" Riku raises his eyebrow but his lips are twitching up.
"Riku is too big to be doing all that." Cloud puts his hands on his hips when Sora holds the cart steady so Riku can climb in. The two are chuckling the whole time as it takes awhile for Riku to be able to sit. He looks like he might get stuck.
"I am not too big. Look." Riku settles down, smirking over at Cloud.
"I am not pushing that. Sora he's all yours." Cloud grabs a bag of chips and throws it at Riku's back. It falls into the cart. Cloud doesn't know the idea he just gave Sora and Riku isn't aware of the large smile starting to spread over his lips. "Sora you're in charge of the cart. Leon, help me." Cloud gives Leon a look before walking off. Leon glances at the two before following after the blonde.
"You hear that Sora? They left you in charge with the cart." Riku speaks in an overly excited voice.
"Wow i'm a big boy now!" Sora makes his voice higher. The two share a chuckle before Sora makes an attempt to push the cart- "Damn!" Sora grunts as he uses his legs to move the cart an inch. "You are to big for this Riku!"
"Bitch i'm not too big for this. You just too weak." Riku flips his hair. Sora has to stop pushing to catch his breath he starts laughing too much. Riku isn't much better. The shoppers that seem to be avoiding them probably think they're high.
"Bitch you weigh like 500 pounds." Sora bobs his head, smacking his lips unnecessarily as he tries to push Riku again. It really is a strain. He has to use his legs and he certainly can't run with the cart like Riku could. Riku is just laughing away. He doesn't have to do any work. "Damn Riku you're a fat ass." Sora moans when he has to turn the cart to get out of another shopper's way. It's a mom and her kid sitting in the cart. She has a look that screams disappointment.
"Come on Sora. You got to work those muscles. You can do it." Riku claps his hands but the silver haired man is too smug right now. Time for Sora's plan of action.
"Riku is a big boy. So he needs a lot of..." Sora stops by the shelf and with a laugh that screams victory he grabs a bunch of marshmallows and starts throwing them at Riku. "Marshmallows!"
"Sora!" Riku knocks the marshmallows away when he can but he's getting covering in them.
"Don't fight it Riku, just accept it. Become one with the groceries."
"When I get out of here I'm going to beat your ass."Riku can't say it with a straight face. He's laughing too much to fight all the marshmallows being thrown at him.
"Ha! You're stuck. There's no way you're going to do-" Sora's eyes widen when Riku does a hip thrust and he's able to get up enough to stand in the cart. The marshmallows go flying out of the cart and onto the floor. "Oh shit!" Sora runs down the hallway as fast as he can.
"I'm coming for you Sora!" Riku chimes as he jumps out of the cart and runs after him.
"He's crazy!" Sora turns the corner as fast as he can. He yelps when he bumps into something firm and tall. He stumbles back a few feet just when Leon turns around slowly, the annoyance doesn't leave when he sees it was Sora but he raises an eyebrow.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Riku is going to kill me." Sora gets behind Leon when Riku catches up. "Leon save me!"
"Stop fighting." Leon pinches the bridge of his nose. "It's bad enough I have to deal with-"
"We're getting out of here!" Cloud suddenly takes off running past them. "I'm done with shopping." Cloud throws the box of whatever he was holding into someone elses cart. Then he's out of the door.
"..." Leon's eyebrows furrow, the little patience he has close to snapping. When it's obvious to Sora that he's not going to save him from Riku he takes off running after Cloud. He yelps when Riku catches up to him out of the store. Riku assaults him with vicious tickles. Sora can't deal.
Leon holds his head in his hands taking a slow, deep breath through his nose. "We can't come to this store again..."
"N-No! Riku i'm hahaha sorry!" Sora squirms, his face flushed from the attack. Riku only grins more.
"You're still this ticklish? Some things don't change..." Riku's eyes widen when he's pulled away from Sora by Leon.
"Get in the car." He drawls. Leon doesn't say much but when he does, you listen. Sora and Riku's giggles subside and they walk to the car. They get in without much word, both glancing at each other with questioning gazes. Cloud is already sitting in the drivers seat with his arms folded.
They sit in tense silence before Leon breaks it.
"You all are embarrassing."
"Fuck you Leon. I did a lot better than last time. If you went shopping like you were suppose to this wouldn't have happened." Cloud snaps.
"Sorry Leon, I got kind of lost in what I was doing with Sora." Riku admits.
"I was going to go if you waited." Leon stares at Cloud a moment before sighing "We can't go back there."
"Yeah..." Everyone agrees.
"No worries, there's a bunch of other places for you to shop at Leon." Cloud pats Leon on the back, seeming to have settled down.
"You really should talk to Ansem about your problem with shopping." Leon watches warily as Cloud puts the car in drive.
"Yeah maybe." Cloud shrugs his shoulders, taking that calm expression that Sora is use to. He slowly grins. "At least Riku and Sora were having a grand ol time. I saw those smiles and all the touching you two did-"
"Cloud." Riku cuts him off. Sora is already flushed.
"What? It was good! We should do something else together...how about go see a movie?"
"Ohh we should see that new superhero movie!" Sora jumps in his seat. Riku watches this before he smiles to himself.
"A movie sounds good to me."
"As long as you three can behave." Leon grunts.
"We can behave!" They all say loudly.
Leon doesn't look convinced.
"Fuck he's not answering his phone..." Roxas throws his phone to the side. He's been sitting on Axel's couch, trying to get a hold of Sora for awhile now. He's ignoring him for sure. Not that Roxas can blame him. He's had his time to really sit and think about everything.
Roxas messed up. He messed up bad.
As soon as Sora left, Roxas went off on Axel, blaming him for all of this but it wasn't all his fault. Roxas could have resisted him at any time. He wasn't that drunk, Sora knew it too. He was aware of what was happening. Axel's lips had felt so good, and his touch was too nice to ignore. Roxas betrayed Sora.
And Sora saw everything.
"Fuck..." Roxas curses once again, holding his head in his hands. Sora might have kissed Riku last night but he was right. That's nothing compared to what Roxas did. He got intimate with Axel in a way that was only for Sora.
Now Sora isn't talking to him and he's run off with Riku. That prick. He's probably happier than cat in a box. He played his cards and now is the perfect chance to make his move...
Roxas feels like he has lost.
"Are you done self hating yet?" Axel peaks his head into the room.
"No." Roxas glares at the red head.
"You know Sora will get over it. You'll still have your best bud." Axel walks into the room. He sits next to Roxas, the blonde moves away from him. "He just needs his space-"
"You want Sora to hate me. That's what you've been wanting. To spit us apart." Roxas glares at Axel, he growls. "This whole time you've been wanting to hurt me-"
"I didn't do it to hurt you Roxas." Axel gives him a firm look, turning to face him. "I did it to open both your eyes. Seriously. Sora wasn't going to date you. He was going to beat around the bush and you'd never get anywhere with him. Sora needs to go somewhere with Riku and you need to get somewhere with me."
"You don't know what Sora was going to do. I love him-" Roxas starts. He sees the fire in those green eyes, the look of jealousy.
"You weren't saying that last night." Axel smirks when the blonde gets flushed. "You did say things like 'Axel don't stop.' and 'yesss Axel more'-"
He gets a slap to the face.
Axel blinks, looking shocked that he just got slapped by the blonde as Roxas stands up. When Axel gains himself he glares at Roxas. "Roxas just admit that you want me. I've seen the way you look at me. I'm the right choice. Unlike Sora, I don't want to leave you hanging. Right now he's out having fun with Riku. I bet he sees it so why can't you?"
"I don't want a dick like you."
"You're lying."
Roxas glares at the wall for a moment before he grabs his things and leaves. Axel lets him go, knowing that this isn't the last of their fighting. The blonde wonders why he didn't leave sooner.
Axel is crossing his fingers that Riku has gone in for the kill with Sora. Once he's taken off the market, Roxas will realize his feelings.
Axel saw them last night. He knows they're there and he won't stop till Roxas is his.
"See ya Cloud, Leon!" Sora waves goodbye to the car that just dropped them off. He sees a hand stick out of the window to wave back before he speeds off. Riku and Sora share a grin before they start walking towards his place. They wanted the walk after eating all that buttery popcorn at the movies.
"That was fun." Riku places his hands in his pockets, his aqua eyes staring forward.
"Yeah. That movie was awesome." Sora closes his eyes when the night wind brushes his cheek. They walk in comfortable silence. After being crazy together the whole day, they've exhausted themselves. They get to Riku's home. Sora catches how Riku's shoulders stiffen at seeing a car in front of his house.
"Your parents are home?" Sora asks. Riku nods his head.
"Yeah."
"Come on Riku." Sora grabs the older boy's arm before turning around.
"Huh?"
"You're going to stay the night with me. You packed extra clothes anyway didn't you?" Sora remembers how much Riku hated to be home with his parents. It's not like Sora wants this to end anyway. He's had a lot of fun.
"Yeah I did." Riku doesn't fight him, a small smile turning his lips. He's relieved. "Your mom will be fine with it?"
"She loves you dude. I could probably be like, 'yo mom Riku be living here now' and my mom would start squealing like a school girl."
Riku chuckles. "I would love to live with you guys. That would be pretty awesome."
"Remember that plan we had when we were younger? Like how we were going to build a house in the middle of the woods so we could live together." Sora chuckles as they walk back to his house.
"Yeah." Riku smiles fondly. "You gave up on it pretty quickly."
"It was a lot of work." They walk into Sora's house. It's quiet so Sora knows his mom is asleep. Sora puts his finger to his mouth and Riku nods. Carefully they make their way upstairs, the creaking it makes causes Sora to wince.
His mom is scary if you wake her up.
Sora sighs in relief when they get up and he can close his door.
"I'm going to get comfortable." Sora warns as he walks over to his dresser and takes off his shirt. He takes off his pants, leaving him in his boxers. He puts on a t-shirt before jumping into bed. Sora swallows when he sees Riku in nothing but his boxers now.
Riku is built. His muscles are defined but not over baring. Sora's eyes slide down from the silver locks against his bare board shoulders down to his abs and his narrow waist. Riku is hot. Really hot. Sora feels his face heat up when Riku glances over at him. He pretends like he was looking anywhere else but he's sure he was caught by his friend.
Riku turns off the lights and climbs into bed next to him. There's a tension in the air that wasn't there before. Sora's heart is beating too fast and that's all he can hear. He hopes Riku can't hear it. Think of something to say Sora. Change the subject.
"Hey Riku?"
"Yeah?" Riku turns his head to look at Sora. Those aqua eyes piercing the darkness.
"What are your plans after you graduate?"
Riku licks his lips. "I'm not sure. I know that I'm going to go to some college to get a degree in business. Then at some point I'm going to take over my father's hotel business." He doesn't sound thrilled.
"You don't have to take over his business you know?" Sora looks over at Riku, turning his body to face him. "You're an adult now. They can't force you do anything anymore...besides..." Sora grins. "You're amazing Riku. You can do anything that you want. You have no limits."
Riku stares at Sora with wide eyes. Those green eyes soften when he speaks next. "That means a lot coming from you Sora..." He closes his eyes, but the smile stays. "I have no idea what I would do other than take over the business. It's not bad. I would be rich and I could make changes to the hotels. I've already decided that I would take over the business. I just don't know what college I want to go to get my degree."
"Hmm...Well as long as you think you'll be happy Riku. As long as you're doing it for yourself and not your father." Sora thinks before he smiles. "Riku is going to be loaded. I'll probably be bumming money off of you all the time."
"Nursing pays well." Riku chuckles.
"Yeah not filthy rich well." Sora thinks fore a moment. "...I think I will be a nurse. I think i'm going to follow that gut instinct. Roxas wanted me to go with him to this college in twilight town but...i'm not going to do that." Sora frowns when he thinks of the blonde. He hasn't looked at his phone or anything for that reason. He doesn't want to bring back those feelings that hurt.
Riku notices how Sora has gotten quiet so he moves closer. "You should follow your heart. It's always led you in the right direction before."
"You're right." Sora smiles at his friend.
They're really close now. Both laying on their sides, facing each other. Sora licks his lips, feeling his heart pick up speed again. All day he's been thinking about this. He's been thinking about getting closer to Riku and wondering if Riku would make a move on him since what happened with Roxas but for the most part Riku hasn't acted much differently.
Sora supposes he might think it's a dick move after Roxas just broke his heart.
Before Sora knows it, he finds himself leaning in and brushing his lips against those soft ones. Riku tenses before he moans, parting his lips to deepen the kiss. Sora makes a hum of approval as his tongue snakes pass his lips, caressing his.
Riku's warm hand is felt on his waist and soon Sora is being pressed against a board chest. Sora runs his hands through Riku's soft hair, wanting to do this since he's seen it.
The brunette bites Riku's lower lip, trying to find what the other male likes. Riku groans in response and bites Sora's lip in retaliation. The brunette flushes when he moans.
This spurs Riku on. The kissing becomes deeper, faster, needier. Riku's body is so warm, his heart beating quickly against Sora's hand. Sora tugs on Riku's long hair.
Riku pulls Sora away and shoves his face in his chest, hugging him tightly.
Sora's eyes are widen as he listens to Riku try to catch his breath. He didn't want it to stop. That felt really good. Sora wasn't sober to enjoy this and now he is.
Sora starts to lick and kiss at Riku's collar bone. The older male's breathing starts to become uneven once more. Sora yelps when Riku turns them over roughly so he's hovering over top him. Sora swallows when he sees those aqua eyes darken by lust, dilated by desire.
"Sora..." His name rumbles in his throat lowly. Sora feels the heat travel down and his face flush. Riku's deep voice is a turn on. "I have a hard time controlling myself...when it comes to you." Those aqua eyes lighten and he takes a deep breath.
"I mean...you don't really have to control yourself. I"m liking what's happening." Sora squirms when those aqua eyes stare at him intently.
"...what about you and Roxas?"
Sora averts his gaze. "...I'm dealing with that tomorrow...i'm cutting it off with him."
"Then what does that make me to you?"
Sora swallows. "I...I mean, you like me right?" How lame. He's starting to lose his confidence.
"No." Riku leans down so his lips are against Sora's ear. "I love you." He licks up the shell getting Sora to shiver. "I want all of you Sora. If you're giving me this chance...You're going to be mine and mine alone. No more with Roxas."
"...So what, you want to be my boyfriend?" Sora gulps when Riku pulls away, his aqua eyes filled with passion.
"I would want nothing more. You'd make me a happy man Sora."
Sora's blush reaches his neck.
"I-I'll think about it." Sora pushes Riku off of him, getting those intense eyes away from him. He turns his back to Riku, trying to calm his racing heart. "Because...I like you."
"I know." Riku hugs him from behind, Sora feeling his warm chest against his back. "Take your time." He places a tender kiss on the back of Sora's neck.
Riku has infected Sora like a fever.
Sora tries to think of his decisions about Riku rather than Roxas. In Riku's arms, Sora finds that he's able to fall asleep a lot easier than expected. Maybe it's because Sora had done it so many times before when he was younger.
Having Riku in his bed brings him back to nice times...Riku in his bed now is nice too.
Very nice.
Thank you for your support. Things are looking better for Riku compared to Axel haha. Till next time.
