Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy or any of its characters. Welcome to the wonderful world of Fanfiction!

Warning: This fic contains at least BL (guys kissin' and cuddlin') and possibly YAOI (explicit sex scenes between guys). And implied paedophile, could also be seen with implied GL (girls kissin' and cuddlin')

Pairings (in alphabetically order): Axel X Roxas, Leon X Cloud, Riku X Sora, Seifer X Zell (implied), Tidus X Wakka X Tidus, Zexion X Demyx (implied)

Author's Note: I'm not sure if I said this before, but Zell's favourite food in FFVIII is bread in the original Japanese version. Americans thought that was weird and switched it to hotdogs. My favourite food is also bread, so Zell will not be eating hotdogs in this fic.

Happy Reading!

Memory 13: Plans for the Future

Sora hadn't set an alarm the previous night, since there was no Weapons Club that morning. Roxas had decided to spend the night with Axel since classes would be starting in a couple days and he needed to stay on campus. All of this however did not stop Sora's cell phone from ringing and waking him up. Blindly reaching a hand out of the cocoon of blankets the brunet slapped the nightstand until his hand came in contact with the ringing phone. Sora fumbled with the cell phone as he tried to pick it up, the phone fell to the floor. With a groan the small brunet rolled over and groped the floor, accidently pushing the phone further under the bed. As he reached for the phone again, Sora rolled off the bed and fell hard to the floor with a startled cry the blue-eyed young man sat up and finally answered the phone, not having looked at the caller id, he answered, "Moshi moshi."

"Hey Sora your phone takes forever to get to voice mail," replied the person on the other end of the phone.

"Kairi?" asked the now confused brunet, "It's too early to be up."

The girl on the other end of the phone laughed, "Sora it's afternoon."

"Really?"

Kairi ignored the pointless question, and hesitated a moment before whispering, "Sora do you remember?"

"Remember?" asked the brunet as he stood up and blue eyes blinked at the clock by his bed, "Ara, jeez Kairi I'm sorry I forgot, we were suppose to get together this weekend."

There was a pregnant pause, "That isn't what I meant... never mind, yeah we are, I was thinking we could all meet at the park in the middle of the island, there would be a bit of travel costs for the bus but it would be fair."

"That sounds good," replied Sora as he walked over to his closet after putting on his baby blue fuzzy bunny slippers, "wait, Kairi where is the park?"

There was a sigh, "Selphie will help you."

Sora nodded, "O-ke."

"Don't forget Sora, you need to invite all of your college friends, and I'll invite all of mine. Everyone should bring something to eat and drink so we can all share. Don't forget."

"I get it Kairi, invite the weapons club—"

"Minus their weapons."

"—and bring food."

"Make sure there is a variety," added Kairi.

"Got it," answered Sora as he pulled clothes from his closet.

"Sora I have got to go, I'm cooking food for tomorrow, and you should bake a couple cakes."

The brunet threw his clothes onto his bed and toed off his slippers, "What time should we get there tomorrow?"

"At noon, I've got to go Ja ne," replied Kairi. Sora said his own good bye before hanging up the phone and tossing it on the bed the small Keyblade wielder got dressed for the day.

When Sora was dressed he picked up his phone and flipped through his contacts he had Kairi, Tidus, and Selphie, no one else that was at college. Since Tidus was most likely not on campus he called him first.

Sora quickly explained Kairi's plan and invited both Tidus and Wakka. When the elder blond complained that it would look suspicious if Wakka came. Sora artfully explained that this party was a part meet-and-greet, part a plot from Kairi to get everyone from the island together. When Tidus agreed that they would try to make it and then he suggested that Sora wrote down all the information the Kairi had given him so he didn't forget before he had invited anyone else. The brunet blushed and did what he was told before hanging up the phone.

The Keyblade wielder was about to call Selphie when he stomach growled. Deciding that he should go and get lunch at the school's cafeteria, he would also have a chance to find other people to invite. Putting his cell phone and wallet in his pocket along with the written instructions, he put on his shoes and left the dorm.

It wasn't long until blue-eyes were looking around the room in search of a friendly face that he could eat with. He hadn't realised that the cafeteria would be practically empty once the noon hour had passed. Sora finally spotted the tattooed-blond sitting next to the meaner blond in one corner. Hesitantly the brunet made his way over.

"Can I sit here?" asked Sora, he really hated sitting alone.

Seifer smirked, "Sure thing kid."

The islander bristled as he put down his tray across from Zell and sat. The group was silent for a while Sora absently eating as he watched as Zell shovelled in bread product after bread product, "Is there anything on that?"

The taller blond answered for the shorter martial artist, "No, his favourite food is bread."

The tone of voice bothered Sora and he quipped back as best he could, "I didn't ask you. I thought you didn't come to this college."

Blue-eyes glared, "I'm visiting Chickie here, and making sure he eats better than this."

Sora automatically shrunk back into his seat and resumed eating quickly. Zell swallowed what was in his mouth and smacked Seifer's arm, "Be nice," he then turned towards Sora, "how are you...ano—"

"Sora."

"How are you Sora?" corrected Zell with a blush.

"I'm fine," the brunet brightened up, "ara...ara!" Sora pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, "I'm suppose to invite you to a get together tomorrow—"

Seifer took the paper from Sora and read it through before handing it to Zell, who read it and returned it to a disgruntled Sora, "Who all is invited?" asked Seifer.

"My friends from the club and Kairi's friends from her college..." Sora said with a smile, Seifer raised an eyebrow, "you can come too though," Sora hurriedly added.

Zell nodded putting down the roll, "We can do that," Seifer glared at the shorter blond, "We can bring rolls, and I could even call the orphanage gang, since you probably don't know their numbers."

The elder blond's glare became more heated which made Sora warier. The brunet also had no clue what the orphanage gang was, but figured they could come. Losing his appetite due to the nervousness that Seifer instilled in him Sora got up and picked up his tray, "Arigatou, I'll see you tomorrow."

Sora dumped his tray and moved to leave the building after he made a quick stop at his mailbox hoping he got a letter from his mom, since he had sent her one explaining his fight with Cloud a few days prior. Sadly there was no letter a slightly depressed Sora turned and walked into Riku.

Blue-eyes looked up an apology on his lips when his blue met green eyes, "Riku gomen, I didn't see you there."

"Don't worry about it, I'll see you later," replied the silver-haired youth as he moved to step around the short brunet.

Sora's hand shot out and weakly grabbed Riku's arm, green-eyes turned back, "Wait, Riku I have a party to invite you to." Pulling the piece of paper out of his pocket he explained the party to Riku.

"That sounds like fun, I'm in," calculating green eyes scanned the other before adding, "Do you want any help inviting other people and getting food for tomorrow?"

"That would be great! Kairi wants me to bake a couple cakes but I don't know where to go or how to get hold of anyone else besides Selphie," replied Sora with a blinding smile.

Riku smiled back, "Let me check my mail and then we can go talk to Leon he'll have a lot of numbers of people we can invite which is always funny since he never talks."

The two young men made their way after checking mail to room 103 they knocked on the door and the room was silent, for a moment before they heard some shuffling and Leon opened the door. Grey eyes studied the young males at his door and after a moment he opened the door and let them in before closing the door quickly behind them.

The first thing that both Sora and Riku noticed was that Cloud was sitting half dressed on Leon's bed. Sora opened his mouth to ask a question when Leon interrupted him with a glare, "What do you two need?"

Riku mumbled something that suspiciously sounded like, "free live-porn."

Sora smiled forgetting his question, "We're throwing a party tomorrow!" the smaller brunet then began searching his pockets for his instructions. Riku cut in and explained everything to Cloud and Leon for Sora.

Grey-eyes turned and met blue, there was a silent communication, the blond nodded and Leon turned back to the younger men, "Zell already called, we said we'd bring drinks."

"Why did Zell call? He said he was calling the orphanage gang," replied a confused Sora, Leon gave him a significant look and Sora mumbled, "ara."

Getting a few extra phone numbers to call, Sora and Riku left the dorm room. They decided to take the bus to a local grocery store to pick up baking ingredients. On the way they called the remaining people on their list. Sora was the third person to call Selphie. Who simply giggled at him and how Kairi had called her before she was able to wake up Sora. Riku had called Axel and the fiery redhead said he would invite Organisation XIII or at least the ones that they knew were in the area.

In the store the boys split up; Sora went to get the ingredients that they would need for the baked goods, while Riku went to get a couple cake pans, cookie sheets, a scale, measuring cups, a bowl and mixing spoon. Riku collected his things and waited for Sora to finish near the registers. Something green caught Riku's eye that was on display. It was candid paopu fruit there was about a dozen pieces in a package. There was a little story on the package that described the local legend from Sora's island it also explained how paopu only grew naturally on that one small island and that the fruit was grown in a few select botanical gardens. Green eyes scanned the immediate area for the shorter male. Making a decision Riku grabbed about five packages of the candid fruit and quickly made it through the checkout line. Hiding the fruit Riku sat on a bench and waited for Sora. It wasn't much longer before the brunet came to the checkout line.

The two Keyblade wielders made their way back to the dorms they separated quickly before meeting in the mini-dorm kitchens. The brunet was already there when Riku came in. Glancing over Sora's shoulder Riku looked at what Sora was reading. It was a homemade cookbook; the titles were things like, 'Mom's Cake', 'Thank you cake', 'Valentine's Chocolate', and the one that made Riku gasp was: 'Riku's Cookies'.

"Tidus' Mom made you that," whispered Riku.

Sora jumped startled and turned to look at Riku, "Aa, how did you know?"

Green eyes pierced blue for a moment; Riku sighed and shook his head, "Never mind just tell me what to do."

With Sora's instruction they quickly whipped up a couple cakes and a batch of Riku's favourite cookies. Once they sat back to wait for everything to bake Riku starred at the oven and then looked over at the younger boy, "I don't think I ever apologised for falling into the darkness, or thanked you for your help. And I'm sorry I always teased you about Kairi."

Blue eyes were wide and watery, "Riku!" Sora launched himself at the taller male burying his head in the others neck from his new position on the silver-haired youth's lap.

"I've got you Sora... I've got you and I'm not letting you go."

Author's Note:

I hope you enjoyed it, I'll admit that my plan was to have Riku and Sora kiss. But I thought it was sweeter like this, don't hate me. Please review no matter what.
