So... This isn't a JFF or a chapter, but something nice.

The house was quiet. Mom and Dad were sleeping and I was on the couch. It felt like I could be a great alcoholic from the way I was sitting, the way I was feeling. I'd taken two more pills than what I needed. My eyes felt heavy along with every other limb. I let my head fall back and my eyelids drooped.

A click at the door woke me up. I felt a string of drool dangling from my mouth. I wiped it and my eyes. The sky was still dark. I stretched and yawned, still exhausted. The door opened and I shrugged.

"Sora?"

"What?"

The voice came from a figure standing in the dark of the living room. The voice was familiar, and I smiled.

"I came home. Can was talk?"

"What do you think?"

"I'll go..." His voice was hurt. It came out in what sounded like sobs. He'd been crying.

"No. You're going to sit down right here, next to me." My voice is now breaking.

He crawled on to the couch and laid his head on my chest. I wiped the tears from his eyes as he hiccuped more small sobs. I stroked his hair and he whispered, "I am so sorry, Sora. I have royally fucked everything up. What are you going to do about me?"

"I just got you back. Don't make me think of anything else."

He laughed at me. "Okay."

"Actually, now that I think of it, I'll poison you next time."

He laughed again.

"Riku, I'm not kidding. Don't do it again."

"I won't try to fuck it up again, Sora. I love you dearly." After he said that, I kissed his head.

There was silence for a moment and he cleared his throat. "Sora... I paid for your hospital bill..." His voice still sounded like he was crying.

"What?"

"The envelope with money was from me. I couldn't live with myself after what I'd done. I wasn't eating. I couldn't sleep without nightmares. Sora, Roxas kicked my ass for you. I would've come back sooner. I just didn't know if you'd want me."

I owe my brother. Deeply.

"Riku... I wanted you right after you left," I said. "We need a healing period."

"I'm going to make my world revolve around you, Sora. Is Roxas here tonight?"

"No," I said.

"Come on. Let's go to bed."

He helped me up and carried me bridal-style to Roxas's room. He laid me on the mattress and laid beside me, lacing our fingers together under the blanket. He kissed my cheek and nuzzled in close to my neck. I looked up at the ceiling and smiled, tears running down my face.

Hey. So how'd you like it? I've got some more to type and I'm working on Super!
