By the time Sora got home at about 7:30 Riku had stashed the ring and was busy making dinner. He smiled inwardly as Sora rambled about his club shenanigans. His second year in college he joined the Gay Straight Alliance Club, hoping to engage with others, being relatively new to his own sexuality. Riku respected the fact that even though they WERE dating, Riku just couldn't understand from Sora's point of view how hard it was coming to terms with his sexuality as Riku had always been openly gay, never really questioning it.
"So, what are you making there?" Sora sidled up to the counter next to the stove and hugged Riku from behind.
"Salmon with lemon cream sauce and couscous."
"YUM! What's the special occasion?" Sora asked, taking a deep inhale of the scrumptious smells wafting from the stovetop.
"Nothing really, just had a hankering for some fish." Riku chuckled happily. Sora stepped back and leaned against the opposite counter watching Riku with rapt attention. His mind wandered to the velvet box in the bottom of the photo album. He could do it tonight. He could ask tonight. He considered it for a long hard moment before shaking his head. Riku tapped him on the forehead.
"Hello? Is anyone home?" He joked. "You okay? You look upset." Riku pointed out. Sora shook his head again. He could wait one more day. Tomorrow was his birthday after all. Might as well make it extra special.
"I'm fine, just worried about my upcoming Greek history exam." He was only half lying. He did have an upcoming exam he was worried about.
"Why don't I help you study over dinner?" Riku offered helpfully. Sora grinned his big cheesy grin that made Riku's heart melt.
"Really? That'd be great!" He said excitedly.
They ate dinner in relative peace, Sora getting occasionally exasperated with his homework. They cleaned up dinner and Sora stretched, his mind already exhausted.
"Why does ancient Greece have to have such an extensive history?" He whined. Riku giggled, ruffling Sora's hair.
"Come on, I'm beat and you have a big day tomorrow. Is Sara still coming to dinner tomorrow?" Riku asked.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Sora wondered out loud.
"Just curious." He shrugged. "Would kind of suck if your big sister missed your big 21! Kairi is meeting us at the restaurant at 11." He informed Sora, who nodded with a yawn.
Laying in bed the two cuddled with Sora's head resting on Riku's chest. Despite Sora's exhaustion he was having a hard time falling asleep. The promise of tomorrow was resting heavy on Sora's mind. What if Riku said no, what if he wasn't ready yet? Sora knew he was certain about their relationship but what if Riku didn't feel the same way. Would their relationship change if he said no? Sora couldn't help but imagine all the what if scenarios. What if Riku said no, what if Riku said yes, what if, what if, what if? He hadn't realized he was making noise until Riku gave him a tight squeeze.
"Sora, are you okay? You really seem like something is wrong." Riku admonished. Sora furrowed his brow, looking up at the older man. He stared into those deep pools of turquoise. His heart was suddenly thumping in his throat with anxiety. He couldn't imagine his life without Riku in it.
Riku stared down into Sora's bright blue eyes, worry causing Sora's brow to furrow. Nervousness pooled in Riku's stomach. Was Sora having second thoughts about being together? Tonight had been no different from any other night but Sora had seemed off all night. Like he had something on his mind that he couldn't share. What couldn't Sora share with Riku? They shared everything except a toothbrush.
Sora suddenly leaned up and kissed Riku deeply. Tongue gently pressing against Riku's lower lip, he pressed himself against his boyfriend, needing to be as close as possible to the man he loved. Riku moaned low in his throat pulling Sora up so they were eye to eye. He wrapped his arms around the smaller man's waist and pulled him even closer. Sora reached a hand up and brushed a lock of silver blue hair away from Riku's forehead before planting a tender kiss on his forehead.
"I love you so much, Riku." He said with heavy breath. Riku smiled and pulled Sora in for another kiss. Soon their tongues were intertwined in a sensual dance. Moaning and grinding against each other they managed to get undressed, though clumsily as neither was willing to end their kiss. Riku leaned his head back and whispered, voice full of passion "I love you too."
The heat present in Riku's voice sent a shiver down Sora's spine. He ran his hand down the length of Riku's chest, marveling at the well-defined chest muscles and abs. Riku rolled them over so Sora was laying flat on his back in the middle of the bed. He gazed down longingly at Sora's lean, chiseled frame. His mouth watered as he drank in the passion in his lover's eyes. He leaned down planting a wet hungry kiss on Sora's mouth, making Sora moan in delight.
He reached a hand down and splayed his fingers across Sora's tan chest. He let his hand slide tantalizingly slow down his chest, across his stomach, dragging his nails slowly across Sora's hips making the younger man buck lightly under his grazing touch. Finally the hand found Sora's member, gripping it firmly. He gently thumbed the underside of Sora's head sliding his hand up and down the shaft. Sora groaned in pleasure as the man expertly brought his member to full erection, a throbbing that Sora felt all the way into his toes. Riku gently nipped and licked at Sora's collarbone, making him shudder in anticipation.
Sora grasped the cool shoulders of Riku as his lover tenderly stroked his erection, teasing and tantalizing him to the edge of pleasure. Sora reached his own hand down, seeking Riku's own erection needing something ground himself, otherwise he would surely spin out of earth's gravitation. Sex with Riku had always been like this. Magical and passionate, full of desire and promise and even love. Even when one of them was in the mood for just a good hard fuck there was always love. This is what made Sora so sure about their relationship.
Riku released Sora's cock and reached across him to the night table, digging through the drawer until he found the bottle of lube. He held it up and offered it to Sora, a questioning look on his face.
"Who wants to go first?" He asked, voice deep and throaty sending another pulse of electricity through Sora's body.
"I want you, Riku." He leaned up and kissed Riku's neck gingerly, eliciting a soft rumble from deep in Riku's chest. Riku quickly uncapped the bottle and drizzled himself with the slick liquid, making sure to massage Sora's entrance, pressing a finger into his ass, gently lubing and stretching him out. Sora was already moaning and grinding against Riku's hand. When Riku was satisfied with his work he gently pressed himself against Sora's entrance, letting the younger man press himself against Riku's throbbing erection. Riku pressed slowly between Sora's thighs, taking care not to move too fast.
This was Riku's favorite part, feeling Sora flex around him as his body adjusted to Riku's girth. The slow, steady teasing sensation as Sora slowly ground against him, then easing away as his sphincter eased and let in Riku's member. Riku wrapped his lube slicked hand back around Sora's dick, stroking with purpose. Sora bucked unexpectedly and Riku was buried to the hilt in Sora's sweet warm opening. He let out a guttural groan as Sora clenched and flexed around him, neither of them having been prepared for the sudden sensation. Sora let out a loud shout as Riku flexed his hips, burying himself even further into Sora.
Soon they found their rhythm, Riku pumping his hand alternating with the thrust of his hips. Sora braced his hands over his head, pushing himself down onto Riku's cock with every thrust. Their moans and panting grew into a cacophony of pleasure and lust, both men slicked with sweat, every so often exchanging a passionate kiss. As their cacophony grew Riku ground harder into his boyfriend nearing his own climax.
"Ah, fuck, Sora, I'm gonna cum." He panted. Sora nodded his head as Riku thrust again and let loose his seed into Sora's ass. Never once letting up on Sora's own erection suddenly Sora pushed Riku off of him before grabbing a handful of Riku's hair and pushing Riku's head down to take Sora's penis into his mouth. Without so much as a second thought Riku closed his mouth around the glistening member, feeling Sora pump hard against his mouth, moaning in delight and sucking hard. It didn't take long for Sora to find his own climax, cumming hard and fast as Riku swallowed every drop of Sora's hot sticky load.
They collapsed into the bed, both pleasantly spent. Riku hugged Sora around the hips, laying loving kisses across Sora's hip and stomach.
"You mean so much to me. You're so much more than I deserve." Riku mumbled sleepily into Sora's side, making him smile. Soon, the two fell asleep wrapped up in each other and the blissful glow of after sex. Both dreaming of the promises that the following day had in store.
