An Exchange Student

Chapter 13

A/N: Okays, so here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for. Lumeton is proud to present: CHAPTER 13! *this is the place where you all are meant to applaud ;P*


Sora felt his brow twitch. This was just too weird.

When Sora woke up, he had been alone. Riku's side of the bed was already cold and Sora, grumbling, dragged himself out of bed to go see what everyone was up to.

He followed the scent of food to the kitchen, and arrived to a scene that was a bit…how should he put it… disturbing.

Leon and Riku were sitting on the opposite ends of the kitchen table. They both had a newspaper in their left hand and a cup of coffee in the right. Both had their legs crossed. They even turned the page at the same time.

"This world…" Leon started.

"Yeah. It's going crazy", Riku said.

"Always bad news…" Leon mumbled and then everything was silent again.

They look like father and son-in-law, Sora thought, and then his eyes widened in shock. Oh my god, did I move forward in time? And I'm married?! I wonder if I have children too! As soon as the thought popped in his head, he felt stupid. Riku would look older…wouldn't he?

"Sora, honey!" Sora turned as he heard Cloud's voice behind him. As soon as he turned around, he found himself in a tight hug.

"How are you feeling? You want something to eat? How about some toast? I could of course…" Cloud rambled.

"Cloud, let him breathe", Leon laughed. Cloud pouted at him and led Sora to have a seat beside the table.

"Did you sleep well?" Leon asked, looking at him over his newspaper.

"Yeah, I did", Sora said.

He suddenly felt a hand slide against his own under the table. Sora glanced at Riku. Riku smiled at him as he grabbed the smaller boy's hand. Sora blushed and made Riku chuckle.

"Sorry? Did you say something, Riku?" Cloud asked. Riku snapped his gaze up at Cloud.

"Oh, no, I was just laughing at…uhh…" Riku started.

"At me!" Sora helped.

"Yeah. He made a funny face", Riku said, nodding. Sora grinned half-heartedly.

Cloud frowned suspiciously and glanced at Leon, who lifted a brow.

"I see, well, do you want orange or apple juice, Sora?" Cloud asked.

"Both!" Sora said. Three pairs of eyes stared at him. "Uhh, you know, mix it? Apple-orange juice?"

Leon rolled his eyes and Riku chuckled.

"What?" Sora asked. And Leon, grinning, shaked his head. Riku laughed and Sora nudged his arm. Riku pouted and rubbed his arm where Sora had elbowed him.

"I'm sorry I ruined your trip", Sora said, staring down at his lap. Cloud was immediately there, hugging him.

"Oh, Sora, honey. Don't worry about that! Don't apologize for something that wasn't your fault!" Cloud said. Sora nodded.

"Just forget about it. Me and Cloud can go there again anytime and you're much more important to us than some random holiday resort", Leon reassured.

"So, what were you guys up to while we were gone?" Cloud asked.

Riku slid his hand on Sora's thigh and Sora couldn't help but giggle.

"Umm, well, nothing really…" he said.

"Oh, really?" Leon asked. He and Cloud were looking at them disbelievingly, like they knew something was up.

"Y-yeah, but Roxas was on a date!" Sora added quickly.

"That boy's a maneater", Cloud sighed. Sora smiled sheepishly.

"Good morning!" said a voice that resembled Sora's own, but was a little lower.

"Speaking of the devil…" muttered Leon.

"So you've got a new boyfriend again, Roxas?" Cloud asked.

"A new… What! So it's such a big deal if I've found someone new, but it's no big deal if Sora starts dating the exchange student here!?" Roxas cried out.

Everyone was quiet. It took a while before Roxas realized what he had done and his eyes widened.

"T-they didn't know yet, did they?" Roxas asked quietly.

"Well, not exactly…" Sora mumbled.

"I was wondering why you two were suddenly getting along so well", Cloud said.

Sora glared at Roxas. The blonde avoided Sora's eyes and quickly grabbed some toast from the table.

"Umm, I think I'm going to go…uhh, finish my homework…" And then Roxas was gone.

All was quiet for quite some time. Leon and Cloud acted as if they had heard nothing. Cloud slowly sat beside Leon. Leon put his newspaper away and leaned forward.

"So…" Leon started and pinned Riku and Sora down with his stare. The two boys gulped.

"You two are together now, eh?" Leon asked. Sora nodded slowly.

"So, Riku. What are your intentions regarding my son?" The dark haired man asked. Riku flinched.

"U-uhh…" he mumbled, glancing quickly at Sora.

"Do you plan on marrying him?" Cloud asked.

"M-marrying…"

"Do you think about having sex with him?"

"Wha..!"
"Do you love him?"

Cloud's question caught Riku off guard and his eyes widened.

"D-do I lo…love him? Well I…I…" Riku stuttered and looked at Sora. Sora was looking at him, with an unreadable expression on his face. Was that hope that flickered briefly in his eyes?

But then Sora looked away. Riku faced Sora's parents again. Why did they have to look so intimidating? Before this moment, Riku would have laughed if someone said Cloud could look scary. Riku felt like standing up and running away.

And then Riku could see the corner of Cloud's mouth twitch. Cloud quickly slapped a hand on his mouth and let out a muffled giggle. Leon glanced at his husband and grinned.

"Come on, Riku, we're only playing with you!" Cloud laughed. "You should've seen your face!"

Riku breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, you scared me!" he said.

"We're happy for you two. It's about time you realized your feelings", Cloud said.

"But, if you do in any way hurt Sora, you will be in trouble", Leon said, the playful grin gone and his face serious. Riku gulped.

"I-I'm not planning on ever doing that", Riku said, stuttering at first but still saying it like he meant it.

"And I'm sure you won't do that", Cloud said, hugging Riku.

"Welcome to the family!"
"Cloud!" Sora cried, embarrassed.

"What? The boy's obviously serious about you!" Cloud defended.

"Yeah. I am", Riku said, flashing a dazzling smile at Sora. Sora blushed, but his answering smile was just as happy as Riku's.

oOo

Riku turned around to lie on his side again. He couldn't sleep. The clock told him it was 1 o'clock in the night in big red letters. Riku sighed and rolled on his back. He wondered if Sora would mind if he went to sleep beside him.

Riku and Sora had spent the afternoon on the beach. Riku smiled when he thought about it.

Sora threw his shoes and socks away and ran around the beach, loving the feel of warm sand between his toes. He then ran back to Riku's side and grabbed his hand.

"Come on!" he laughed and dragged Riku with him. Riku smiled.

After running around for a bit and splashing water on each other, both boys tired themselves out and sat down on the ground. Sora fell back to lie on his back. Riku watched as his chest rose in time with his breathing. Sora's shirt had rose up a little, showing a piece of smooth, tanned skin. The shirt was a bit wet, and clung to Sora's lithe body. Riku could clearly see Sora's nipples through it and Riku felt his mouth water.

Riku's gaze travelled up, over Sora's long, sensual neck to his face. Sora's eyes were closed and his lips were parted as he panted a little. A pink tongue peeked out to wet the smaller boy's lips. A slight pink was dusted over his cheeks.

Then Sora opened his eyes and saw Riku staring at him. He grinned.

"Sand angel!" he said and started waving his hands and legs, as if making a snow angel.

Riku threw his head back and laughed. Sora was just so adorable.

"Oh Sora…" he chuckled. Riku bent down over the goofy boy. He rubbed his nose against Sora's and placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth. Riku nuzzled Sora's neck. He felt the vibrations as Sora giggled.

Riku lifted his face to look at Sora and Riku rolled over to lie between Sora's legs. Sora swallowed. Riku laid gentle kisses on Sora's face.

"You're beautiful, Sora."

Riku chuckled when Sora blushed and then pressed a kiss on his lips. Riku rubbed his thumbs over Sora's nipples, making Sora gasp and part his lips. Riku pushed his tongue between Sora's lips and flicked it against Sora's own, trying to coax the smaller boy's tongue out to play. Hesitantly, Sora imitated Riku and hesitantly slid his tongue against Riku's. Riku could tell Sora was unexperienced, but the boy learned fast.

As the kiss grew more heated, Sora lifted his hands and tangled his fingers in Riku's hair. Riku knew there was sand in Sora's hands and it would be a pain to get it out of his hair, but he couldn't bring himself to care. Sora wrapped his legs around Riku's hips and pulled the taller boy even closer to his body. Riku pulled back a little, trailing kisses down to Sora's neck, making the smaller boy let out a moan.

"Riku…" Sora whined, tugging on Riku's hair to pull him up. Riku obeyed and Sora immediately attacked his lips again.

After quite some time, they were both lying on their backs, panting heavily. Riku rolled over onto his side and laughed as he looked at Sora. The boy looked like he didn't know where he was anymore. His hair was a mess, his lips were swollen, cheeks flushed and he had a dazed look on his face.

"Oh wow…" Sora mumbled after a while. "You're a good kisser."

"I've had practice", Riku said. Sora scowled at him.

"Don't say things like that. I already know, I just don't want to think about you kissing someone else", he said. Riku smiled and kissed Sora's cheek.

"I love you, Sora."

Sora's eyes widened.

"L-love me?"

"Yeah. I love you", Riku said. Sora blushed.

"I-I… I think… I mean… I love you too", Sora whispered.

"I know you do."

"Y-you...know?" Sora asked, surprised.

"You told me. Right before you fell asleep yesterday night."
"I thought I was already dreaming! This is so embarrassing…" Sora whined and covered his face with his hands. Riku just laughed. He was happier than ever before.

Riku smiled as he rolled around in his bed once more.

The memory of a panting Sora, whimpering quietly under him with his face flushed, had an effect on Riku's body. Riku groaned, feeling hot. He rolled onto his back and slid his hand downward, over his naked chest, all the way down to slide it inside his boxers. Riku sighed.

Suddenly there was a quiet knock on the door.

"Riku?" came Sora's quiet whisper. Riku scrambled to get up into a sitting position, pulling a pillow over to cover his lap.

"Y-yeah?" Riku said. The door opened to reveal an adorable-looking Sora, dressed in his oversized pyjamas, and fiddling with the hem of his shirt.
"Y-you don't mind, do you?" Sora asked.

"Of course not!" Riku said and Sora hurried over to Riku's bed. Riku made space for Sora to lie on, and Sora curled against him, his back against Riku's chest.

Riku bit his lip. Sora wriggling against him wasn't really helping his situation, and his problem just seemed to be getting worse. It wouldn't take long before Sora would notice it too.

And, it took only a few seconds after Sora stopped moving to realize something was poking him. Sora tensed and Riku squeezed his eyes shut. Any minute now Sora would explode in shouts of "pervert".

But instead, Riku just heard a soft, timid voice:

"R-Riku…?"
