Chapter 3 - Apologies
Riku stood in the kitchen of his home making fish for dinner. His mother was sitting in the family room making a rug out of coconut fibres. He put the fish and the salad on two plates and took one over to his mother. She smiled up at him, but soon stopped when she saw the saddest look she'd ever seen on his face.
"What's wrong, honey?" she asked, her musical voice concerned.
"Nothing," he said abruptly, before going to his room. He sat on his bed and stared out his window, looking in the general direction of Sora's house, not realising that Sora was doing the same thing.

Riku's mother walked into her son's room. Riku was lying on his bed in only his pants. There were tear tracks down his pale cheeks - evidence of his sorrow. She covered him with a blanket and left the room.
---
Riku woke up surrounded by warmth. He struggled slightly - the blanket was wrapped around his toned and perfectly muscled body. When he was finally free, he went to have a shower. Grabbing a towel, he walked into the next room - his own ensuite
Standing under a hot stream of water, Riku allowed himself to relax. He ran his hands over his body, imagining them to be Sora's. He moaned slightly as he stopped thinking and started cleaning himself, but he couldn't keep out the mental images. After he had finished cleaning himself, he reached down for his aching erection, seeking to pleasure himself.
The moment his hand touched his erection, Sora popped into his mind. He was semi-naked, just like Riku had seen him with Tidus. He pictured Sora coming closer and running skilled hands over his naked flesh, avoiding what he needed the most. His hand increased in speed, running quickly over the smooth flesh of his erection. Searching for more pleasure, he pictured Sora on his knees kissing at his thighs and stomach. And when he pictured Sora closing his mouth over his erection, he came violently into his own hands.
He stood there panting for a while, leaning his forehead against the reinforced wood of the walls. He held his hand out to the water to wash away the sticky mess, then gave himself another quick rinse before stepping out of the shower. He wrapped his towel around is waist quickly when he heard his mother calling for him. Walking quickly down to her voice, he was drawn to the entranceway. With his mother was Sora and Kairi. Sora eyes flickered over Riku's dripping body, and he blushed and looked away when he met Riku's eyes, but Kairi just smiled
"Hey Riku!" she said, all friendly, while Sora just muttered a 'hello'. It depressed him to see his angel sad, especially when he caused it. "We were just wondering what was taking you so long, you lazy bum, we need your help on the raft!"
"What's the time?" He asked her, still looking at Sora.
"Its way past midday, mister," she teased, "so lets go"
"You want me to go dressed like this?" He asked amusedly.
"No, silly! Go get dressed. We'll wait." Riku agreed and ran up stairs to get dressed. Two minutes later he was walking with Sora and Kairi. When they got to the raft, Kairi picked up the necklace she was working on and gave orders.
"Ok you two, I need..." Riku was only half listening to the list Kairi was making, he was too busy staring at Sora's beautiful chocolate locks.
"Come on," Sora muttered to Riku before hurrying off. Riku stared for a moment at his ass, which was being outlined by the stretched fabric of his pants, before running after him.
"Sora! Wait!" he called as he ran after him. Sora slowed down slightly, but was still walking fairly fast. When they had gone around the first bend, out of the sight of Kairi, Riku grabbed Sora's arm.
"We need to talk," he said. Sora glared balefully at him.
"I'm sorry ok? Didn't I say that already? It wasn't supposed to happen. I just had ideas because you were- and I was- but it wont happen again! And I'm sorry I ruined our friendship." A perfect glistening tear trickled down Sora's cheek.
Riku looked at it for a moment before brushing it away with his finger.
"Hey," he said softly. "Look at me." He said. Sora didn't look up. "Sora," he said. When Sora shifted his gaze slightly to the left of his feet, Riku sighed and pushed Sora's face up with one hand. Sora averted his gaze.
"Why are you sorry?" Riku said in the same soft tone. He knew what he had to do now. "All you've done is shown me what I wanted." Sora's eyes flicked back to Riku's face. Riku was smiling so gently that Sora, being Sora, grinned back.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah," Riku responded before gently dipping his head down to meet a startled Sora's lips.
Their kiss wasn't graceful. It wasn't beautiful. It was nice, thought, and they both enjoyed it. At first they shyly held their lips to the other's, and that was nice enough. Riku's arms instinctively went around Sora's neck, and Sora wrapped his arms around Riku's lean waist. When Riku nervously moved his tongue to deepen their kiss, he was met with a willing Sora's open mouth, which tasted, strangely enough, like a tropical fruit.
After a few moments they both ran out of breath. Riku pulled Sora close to him and Sora dug his head into Riku's neck.
"I've wanted you for so long," they both whispered at the same time. They looked deeply into each others eyes, blue meeting light aqua, and they both laughed gently. Sora initiated another kiss and this one was held for longer. Or, it would have been if it hadn't been interrupted.
"Sora!" came Tidus' stricken voice "Why are you cheating on me!"
Wow, I really do write fairly plotlessly. Three chapters and they're together already? Please tell me SOMEONE has noticed the horridy inconsistencies here... Oh well, I'll fix them up, never you worry.
