DISCLAIMER: Hello again!, how is everyone today?. Thank you all for your support in this fanfiction whether it is through a review or an e-mail, especially the e-mails actually. I don't see how you'd want to go out of your way to do so, someone else even went to the extent of PRINTING it onto real live paper. This really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside ^_^;.

I've also received offers of people wishing to host it on their sites if FF.net doesn't want me posting a lemon on here. I may post it anyway since I've gotten a lot of reassurance from people through reviews, I thank you all very much for your encouragement.

I've come to a decision that I may actually turn this into a lemon but I warn you all that I've never written a lemon. It may turn out to be bad and ruin the entire story. I also want to write another chapter before I start into anything lemony. I hope thats all right with all of you and that your patience will last long enough ^_^;;.

*ahem* About hosting the story on your sites, I'd be incredibly honored if you did upload it onto your site but please send me an e-mail first before you do so I know where its all going. I'm not suspicious or anything, just curious thats all. And besides, I wanna see all your beautiful websites! : D!.

Anyways, enough of that. Kingdom Hearts doesn't belong to me, nor do any of the characters from Squaresoft or Disney.

Enjoy!

"..your touch..your gaze...I feel your eyes piercing into my own..my chest...my soul..."

"...your embrace..comforts me...causing all my worries to flush from my mind..."

"...your kiss...fills that gap..."

Aerith sighed happily, opening the shutters of the house as she gently stirred a pot of tea with a silver spoon. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, there was a refreshing breeze about, the seagulls were squawking. Aerith didn't like seagulls actually but the day was too impressive for her to care. Leaving the tea she quietly tiptoed down the hallway toward Sora's bedroom, she planned to wake up him up abruptly, maybe even scaring him for a bit of fun.

The wooden door creaked slightly as she opened it. She wore a grin as she reached the bed, hands slowly gripping the white cotton sheets.

"WAKEY WAKEY SORA!! - TIME TO GET UP!!" She nearly burst into laughter when she said this, suddenly pulling off the sheets.

"...."

Aerith blinked, staring blankly at the site she saw. In the bed was not Sora but Sora and Riku, tightly cuddled together, Riku holding Sora in a protective embrace. The woman's cheeks reddened as she thought how cute they looked together, she rose a delicate hand to her face, resting her index finger on the side of her lip as she smiled upon them before suddenly deciding to speak. "...Sora..., Riku....time to get up..".

There was a vibrant hum Sora said something, into Riku's chest that is. She nearly let out a light chuckle but instead simply beamed and pulled up a chair next to the bed and waited.

Sora's eyes flickered open, noticing his predicament and immeadatley turning a light scarlet in the face as he looked up at Riku. Feeling his arms around his body, his warmth, even the soft fabric of Riku's shirt made Sora's body temperature rise. He couldn't tell if the older boy was still sleeping or had his eyes closed nor did he notice Aerith, still sitting patiently by the bedside. Instead he simply closed his eyes, smiled softly and nuzzled his frazzled brown hair into Riku's chest.

"...awake..?" A low voiced ask, Riku smirked, eyes stilled closed. "...hai.." Sora kept nuzzling. Riku grinned, tightening his hold around the younger, smaller boy. He wondered if this were love, if he had escaped his loneliness and found his 'light'. Sora slid up until he was leveled with the older boy, smiling redly at him. "What...happened last night?" he spoke anxiously.

"Thats precisely what I want to know!" Aerith announced her presence, smiling widely.

"AAHHHH!!"

"EEEEE!!"

The boys tumbled off the bed onto the floor in a big tangled mess through the sheets. "Get dressed and meet me in the kitchen, we can talk then" she winked at the pile, turning away from it and heading back to the kitchen.

They glanced at each other. Sora's eyebrow quivered while Riku didn't look at all worried, instead he grinned softly, extending a hand to Sora. Worried, Sora looked down at the ground, afraid that he would be swept up in a black vortex and sent to another world until he felt a set of fingers curl around his own, instead Riku grasped Sora's hand. "C'mon..Lets go.." He gently pulled the younger boy with him toward to the kitchen where Aerith awaited.

"Good morning boys...I wasn't aware Riku was staying the night.." She poured them each a cup of semi-warm tea along with a plate of poached fish. The two boys sat, still holding hands from under the table as Aerith retained her warm smile. "Aerith..about..what you saw..." Riku began but Aerith looked up at him and winked "Don't worry about it, I won't tell a soul. That is what you were going to ask I wasn't it?". Riku nodded. Sora gave a breath of relief, bowing his head in thanks to Aerith "Thanks a lot Aerith, it...just sort-of happened." Sora's hand tightened around Rikus.

She sat and sipped her tea "..I don't mind it at all...may I ask..has...anything....'happened' yet..?", her glance shifted from Sora to Riku and back again as she fidgeted with her thumbs in suggestive movements. Riku smirked softly as Sora turned even redder than he already was in the face "N-No!! - Nothing...like THAT" Sora stuttered.

"...yet" Riku's smirk widened as he elbowed Sora softly in the side of the chest. Sora's eyes widened as he gave Riku a bewildered face causing Riku to burst into laughter. Aerith giggled.

Aerith gathered the dishes and started washing them. Riku grinned, seizing the opportunity, pulling Sora out of his chair and gently dragging him down the hall back into the bedroom. Once in the bedroom, he cornered Sora into a wall, extending his arms above his shoulders while gazing dreamily into Sora's eyes. "R...Riku.." he was speechless, trapped and helpless.

And so...the lemon begins...

DUN DUN DUN!! - In the next Chapter!.

This next chapter will probably take the longest to do..for obvious reasons.

I wanted to get this chapter up a little earlier but since my exams are just around the corner I've been busy...hope thats okay. I wrote this chapter when I was feeling a little odd in the head so things may be a little edgy, my grammar may be off, my paragraphs are kind of strange and the diologue is kinda funky. I apologize.

Good Ol' Aerith, nice dead ol' girl coming back to council the two young lovers.

*takes a deep breathe*....I'll have to use ALL my skill in this next chapter...

Comments, Suggestions...Please e-mail me. Your reviews, as always are brilliant encouragement for me to strive to work harder. Thanks everyone.

Oh yeah, the next Chapter will be extra long too!.
