Sora could feel something warm underneath him. And around him. Then it
moved.
"AHH!" Sora's eyes flew open immediately and he sat straight up.
"Wha..?" Riku sat up groggily and looked at the panic stricken boy who was sitting on him, and who he still had his arms around. Sora panted a few time and clutched at his heart as he stared at Riku and he finally realized where he was.
"Nice wake up call." Sora just laughed at Riku's grumpy good morning and leaned over to place a small kiss on his lips.
"Do you like that one better?"
"Hmm.much." Riku pulled the brunette close to him and kissed his lips passionately. Both boys opened their mouths to each other and began to taste each other as if they had done it every day of their lives.
Riku finally pulled away and sighed happily before looking around. The sky was just turning from dark purple to a lighter blue, but the sky had yet to show any sunlight.
"We had better both go home, our parents will wonder if we aren't in our beds."
Sora pouted at Riku and let his hand wander along Riku's stomach. The older boy gasped as Sora's cool hands ran up over his chest.
"Are you sure we can't stay, just a little longer?" Sora began to draw tiny circles on Riku's chest as he looked up at him with a seductive smile.
Riku reached over and picked Sora up, placing the boy on the ground next to him.
"Sorry Sora. But I don't think I want people to know." Riku paused and bit his lip, "about us you know?"
"I understand." Sora stood up and brushed the leaves and dirt off of him. He flashed a quick grin to Riku and darted off towards his house. When he was almost out of sight, he turned around a waved at Riku one last time. The older boy smiled back and turned to head back for his own house to get a few hours of sleep, if he was lucky.

"Hey Kairi! You ready to go?" Sora was practically bouncing up and down when he reached the raft and ran right up to Kairi. The girl was standing in front of the raft and looked deep in thought.
"Oh, hello Sora." Sora's overly bubbly expression faded as he noted the depressed tone in his friend's voice.
"What's wrong Kairi?"
"The raft.there's something wrong with it."
"What do you mean?" Sora cocked his head to the side and scratched it in confusion. Kairi looked up at him before walking over to the raft. With a push of her foot, she sent the raft a few feet away from the shore. And it sunk. Like a rock.
"Oh man." Sora slumped down into the wet sand as he watched the raft sink through the few feet of water it was in. A cloud of sand rose up in the water around it as it settled on the beach.
"I know. What are we going to do?" Kairi also sat down in the sand next to Sora. The two sat for a while, with their heads propped up on their hands.
"Maybe we need more wood."
"Or maybe less."
The two looked at each other and sighed heavily. This was pointless. They had a useless raft and there was no way they could get off the island today.
"What about Riku? It was his idea, maybe he can fix the raft?"
Sora looked up at the mention of Riku's name and nodded vehemently at Kairi's suggestion.
"I'll go find him." Sora leapt up and ran a total of three steps before running directly into someone. He fell back onto the sound and his head splashed into the surf. He coughed and looked up through his wet hair and could barely make out a tall outline.
Riku smiled down and walked over, grabbing Sora roughly by his crown medallion and pulling the boy back to his feet.
"Hey Riku! We were just talking about you." He pushed his wet hair out of his face and shook his head like a dog would, spray going everywhere as Kairi and Riku shielded their faces from the water.
"What happened?" Riku sounded less than thrilled as he walked over to the downed craft.
"Umm. I'm not really sure. I went to put some supplies on it before, and it started sinking beneath me. So I brought it back on shore and was waiting for you too."
"It sank once you got on it?" Riku looked over at Kairi who nodded.
"That probably means it isn't big enough or strong enough. We need more logs and more rope."
Sora smiled at Kairi and gave her a thumbs up behind Riku's back. She giggled and turned to face the tall boy.
"So where should we go? We've gotten all the spare logs on the entire island."
Riku thought for a moment and looked out over the ocean. It was another of the beautiful, perfect days that he had grown used to on the island. Warm with a breeze.
"Drift wood."
"Huh?" Sora had been staring at Riku, and the way that the ocean wind had made his silver hair wave and shine in the morning sunlight.
"I said drift wood. We can swim out to the reef and get some. Once it dries out it floats really well, and there should be plenty out there."
"Hey, why don't I go see if Selphie and the others want to come and help us, it would be easier to swim that heavy wood in if there were more of us." Kairi was back to her cheerful self now that she saw a way that they could still use the raft and get off the island.
"Good idea, get the three of them and meet us on the paopu island in fifteen minutes."
"Right." The girl nodded and took off to find the other children on the island.
Riku headed for his house but was caught off guard when Sora tackled him from behind. He tried to roll over, pinning Sora under his back, but the boy used the momentum to throw him over again. Riku spun under him and stared into the dark blue eyes before Sora leaned down and kissed him. For a moment they both enjoyed it, but the Riku grabbed onto Sora and threw him into the nearby surf.
"Hey! What was that for?" Sora stood up, dripping wet.again. Riku also stood up and looked at him with a serious expression. Sora was still mad, but he saw that something was bothering Riku.
"I..look.someone could have walked by and seen us. I.just." Riku felt a warm hand on his shoulder and looked into Sora's forgiving smile.
"I understand. Secret. No problem." Sora looked around quickly, being overly dramatic like a spy, before giving Riku a quick peck on the lips and then dashing off as fast as he could for his boat. Riku just smiled at his retreating form and headed to get his trunks as well.
"AHH!" Sora's eyes flew open immediately and he sat straight up.
"Wha..?" Riku sat up groggily and looked at the panic stricken boy who was sitting on him, and who he still had his arms around. Sora panted a few time and clutched at his heart as he stared at Riku and he finally realized where he was.
