Ohwow. I don't even know how to apologize after being gone from this site for over a year…but I just lost interest in Kingdom Hearts…and even really fanfiction in general for a while. But recently I've returned to read glee fanfics (Finn/Kurt…I have a oneshot up if interested.) And I felt really bad about leaving this story behind. So it's now 2:51AM and I just finished rereading my own story. Then I got a shower. And now I'm working on a new chapter. It probably won't be posted until later, after I sleep, since my laptop is dying quickly and I don't have the chord with me right now. Hopefully you can all forgive me enough to at least continue to read me story. Thank you.

RECAP

Riku

Riku finished his shower, getting out and drying himself off before wrapping the towel around his waist. He looked in the mirror, nibbling his lip. Had Sora seen the cake? Of course he had. Right? But how did he react? Was he still downstairs?

He jumped as he heard vibrating, but realized it was his phone in his pants on the floor. He picked it up, looking to read a text message. It was from Kairi. With a picture of his cake. And a message reading "Cute. (: "

Riku's eyes widened, how did she see it? He hadn't sent it…wait…had Sora sent it? Did that mean he liked it? Riku had never been so nervous in his life, and he wasn't the kind of boy to get nervous.

He hurried into his bedroom, picking out clothes very quickly and getting dressed. He took one more deep breath before walking down the stairs.

Sora

While Riku was showering, Sora needed to work fast to show the other male that he returned his feelings. He couldn't simply tell him…he was too shy, too nervous. Besides, Riku almost cheated….so he should be able to cheat too. He took the knife, cutting the cake so that RIKU, the heart, and SORA, were each their own piece. Then he found a different tray and placed the cake on it in a new order to read SORA (heart) RIKU.

He was so glad that they made a square cake. Sure, it looked a little dumb….but it was a pretty decent effort, right? He heard the shower turn off upstairs and froze to the spot. He didn't want to be here when Riku came down….he wouldn't know what to do. But where could he go? He decided to sneak upstairs as silently as possible and hide under Riku's desk.

It had not, however, occurred to him that Riku would be returning to his bedroom to change. The silverhaired male's back was to him as he got in the room and dropped his towel, and Sora's cheeks heated up to an unimaginable color. He nearly thought he'd faint. He forced himself to pull his eyes away, feeling like a creep being under the other's desk when he was changing.

When Riku finally left, Sora let out a sigh of relief, trying to calm himself. He got out from under the desk and curled up with Riku and Mr. Snuggles, the bears that had been put on Riku's bed.

The last thing he expected was for a face to appear in Riku's window…and he wasn't sure how he stopped himself from screaming.

Riku

Riku got downstairs and looked around…not seeing his spiky-haired friend anywhere. He hadn't left, had he? His luggage had still been in his bedroom when he was up there. "Sora?" he called a little nervously, glancing around. He walked back into the kitchen, noticing that the cake was on a different plate. He wandered over to it and his cheeks flushed very faintly, a large grin spreading across his lips. Sora loved him too?

But then…where was he? Riku wanted nothing but to have the other in his arms…and he was no where to be found. He started searching the downstairs, wondering if this was supposed to be some sort of hide-and-seek game.

Sora

"L-Leon?" Sora squeaked softly, not wanting to give away his location to Riku…but confused as to why the boy's friend was currently crawling through his bedroom window.

"Hiya!" Leon announced to the smaller boy, who quickly shushed him.

"Why're you trying to hide? Playing hide-and-seek?" Leon asked, talking a little more quietly, but looking puzzled.

"I…um…" Sora hesitated, "Something just…happened…" he started, not sure of what to tell the other boy. "And I didn't know what to do…so I came here…and I guess I'm just waiting for Riku to find me?" he offered in reply, realizing that he sounded ridiculous.

Leon looked like he was thinking for a moment before lighting up, "I know how to make the surprise even better when he finds you!" Leon insisted, hopping off of Riku's bed and going over to dig through some of his drawers.

Sora looked absolutely puzzled at this. It wasn't supposed to be a surprise…Riku knew he was in the house somewhere…but it didn't seem you could avoid Leon's plans. At least he couldn't, he didn't really know how to handle the boy.

Leon came back to the bed with a big tshirt and a pair of Riku's boxers, "Put these on!" he told Sora enthusiastically.

"W-What? W-Why?" Sora asked, cheeks getting hot again.

"Because…you'll look adorable! Riku will have no choice but to pounce." Leon told him with a wink.

Sora's cheeks stayed a tomato color, "B-But…I mean….I don't…." he stuttered, unsure of what Leon was trying to say or what he wanted to reply.

"You can thank me later! I'll be back tomorrow to check on you too. You really are adorable, Sora!" Leon told the other, already climbing back out the window.

Sora stared at the new clothing in his hands. Would Riku really like it if he wore them? He supposed it would be nice to be encased by Riku's smell that night…

He nibbled his lip, looking around, then finally decided it was okay and changed his clothes.

Riku

Riku was sitting on the couch in the livingroom with a pout. This day simply was not going right. Sure, parts of it had been wonderful…but now he was just puzzled. Where could Sora be? He had just been in the bathroom and his bedroom, so Sora couldn't be there….but he just searched all downstairs too. He couldn't remember the other male being this good at hide-and-seek.

Riku nearly jumped twelve feet in the air as suddenly a voice broke through his thoughts, "He's in your bedroom!" the voice exclaimed.

Leon.

"Leon! Are you trying to give me a heart attack? And what do you mean he's in my bedroom? You saw him?" he asked, looking uncomfortable with that thought.

"Of course I saw him! You know, I was just doing my daily crawl-through-your-window bit. And I must say that I dress him beautifully for you…you can thank me later. Now go see sexy lover boy!" Leon said happily.

"….get out of my house." Riku said, not caring that he was making Leon pout.

"You better start being nicer to me….all the wonderful things I do for you…." Leon insisted as he let himself out of Riku's house again.

Riku hurried to lock the door behind him, then went into the kitchen. He considered bringing up cake to eat, but he couldn't stand to destroy it. So he just wrapped it up and put it away….hopefully his parents wouldn't find it if he put it way in the back.

He then took a deep breath and headed upstairs. What was Sora doing in his bedroom? How long had he been there? He hadn't…seen him naked already…had he? His cheeks flushed faintly at the thought, but he brushed it away before stepping into his room.

"Sor-" he started to call the other boy's name as he walked in and closed the door behind him, but then he found himself frozen to the spot.

Sora…his adorable Sora…heck, even his "sexy lover boy" at this point…was sitting on his bed in the most perfect way possible. Not only was the boy looking extra-cute in his big tshirt and….and a pair of his boxers…but the way he was sitting just screamed "I'm adorable, pay attention to me."

His legs were bent back behind him and his hands were placed in between his legs, his head was tilted slightly as he looked up at him, and the tshirt was almost sliding off one shoulder. His hair was still a little damp so his spikes were drooping…and Riku suddenly felt that maybe he should thank Leon. Later.

Both

"R-Riku?" Sora said nervously, his cheeks heating up as he felt the boy's eyes all over him. "Are you okay…?" he asked, feeling self conscious from being stared at in such a way.

Riku finally snapped out of it as an adorable voice broke through the silence he had accidentally created.

"I'm more than okay, Sora…" Riku said fairly quietly, trying to hide the husky, aroused part of his voice that wanted to come out at such a sight. He shouldn't be going right to dirty thoughts, he knew…it was too soon…no need to scare the boy.

But he was so adorable!

Riku finally found the strength in his legs to be able to move to the other boy, taking his cheeks in his hands, "You're so adorable, do you know that?" he asked, looking down into Sora's bright, sapphire eyes with his own loving aqua ones.

"R-Riku…" Sora spoke softly, though he didn't get a chance to say anything else as Riku's lips were on his own once more.

Sora's eyes were quick to close and he leaned up slightly into the other male, but apparently that's not what Riku wanted as he climbed onto the bed and started to lower Sora down onto the bed instead of bringing him up.

Once Sora was successfully laying down on the bed and Riku was positioned on top of him, the older male broke the kiss and looked down at the flushed face below him.

"H-Hi…" Sora squeaked as his eyes fluttered open to look at Riku again.

"You're beautiful." Riku replied simply, chuckling softly as Sora's cheeks seemed to get more red.

"R-Riku…if you like me…why didn't you ever call?" he asked softly, frowning a bit at the other.

"I don't know, Sora…it's been killing me. Life just isn't as good without you in it…" he said softly, brushing their noses against each other. Sure, part of him had considered jumping right in and getting as far as possible with Sora that night…but he was just so cute. He didn't want to see that innocence disappear quite yet.

Riku moved to roll off the other, but Sora's hands gripped his shirt, as though worried that he was going to leave him. Riku chuckled softly and pressed a little kiss to the other's lips before simply moving to lay next to him, his arms wrapping protectively around Sora.

The brown-haired boy looked up at Riku and he frowned a little more, "I don't want to leave, Riku…I can't spend anymore time away from you…"

Riku couldn't help but smile at that, "Hey, I told you that you can stay here forever. We still have quite a bit of summer left…I'd love to see you as much as possible." Riku told him with another smile.

Sora seemed to cheer up at this, looking shy for a moment before he dared to lean up and give Riku a little kiss of his own.

It was after that that Riku covered them with the blanket and they curled up together and fell asleep.

Review?
Hopefully that was okay! I wanted this chapter to be longer….but that ended up not happening because I got to this point and really didn't want to continue it. I know it's hard to believe me, but since it's summer I really plan to continue updating this.

Please review! I know I don't deserve it, but reviews really keep my happy and make me keep going. They're the reason I returned to this story. I love you all.
