Silver Lining: Gameplay 1

Author's note: Okay, the story just deviated from my original idea. -_- But no fears as this new route seems promising enough and hopefully the story will get back on track. ^-^ And sorry for Selphie fans who are outraged that I turned her into a canary. I thought it was a cute idea… and a warning… this chapter, though short, is where it turn slashy (betcha saw it coming.)

Now onto the serious bit: If you are not a Sora/ Riku fan, you either stay away or get converted. This piece of fiction is set in an alternate reality/universe. In other words, everything but the characters (they might also be altered) is different from the original Kingdom Heart storyline. Many apologies for naughty thoughts, bad grammar and spelling because I just cannot be bothered to check my work beyond a cursory glance. And since I am sure some people are irritated that I butcher my story with such callousness, I am looking for a nice beta reader to do all the checking for me ^-^.

Disclaimer: None of the KH characters belong to me, they belong to those who spent their youth designing and developing them.

Please… I beg you… stop… STOP…I can't take anymore… please… please… let me go…

"Are you sure you know what you are asking for?!" shouted Riku as he turned around and grabbed Sora by the shoulders.

They say that the most dangerous flames were the colour of a strange blue and Sora felt as if he had scorched by the heat of Riku's eyes. His knees nearly buckled under the pressure that Riku was exerting on his shoulders. Only sheer determination kept him on his feet.

Somehow or other, Sora knew that the silver haired stranger could help him. 

"I know you can teach me how to forget."

A cruel smile crept onto Riku's face, "So you will do anything I tell you?"

"Yes"

With Sora's consent, Riku grabbed the boy's brown head and jerked it back before bending down to met Sora's lips with his own.

Selphie covered her eyes with her yellow wing as her master kissed 'porcupine' head. Never would she have expected the situation to turn out as such. Riku-sama had never shown any outward display of 'affection'. He would not even allow the slightest physical contact with anyone. Selphie simply did not understand why Riku-sama was compelled to initiate any intimate contact with a total stranger in the middle of an autumn afternoon, on deserted forest path. She felt a hot flush upon her cheeks (?) and took flight. While her master was being distracted, she would do her best to look out for anything that might be a danger to him.

Sora was shocked by the pain from Riku's rough movement and doubly surprised by what it was followed by. He struggled to free himself from Riku's grasp but to no avail. As Sora opened his mouth to protest, Riku took the chance to enter. Sora was overwhelm by the sudden invasion and could not do anything except yield to Riku's possessiveness. Riku had an arm wrapped around Sora's waist and slowly lifted the light figure up such that they were face to face and on equal ground. Sora felt helpless and could only lean upon Riku.

Riku released Sora's mouth so that the latter could breath again. His mouth grazed a sensitive spot under Sora's right ear and proceeded to leave marks of possession upon the skin from the side of his neck to the bottom of his throat. Sora could do nothing but wrap both limp arms around the other's neck and lose himself in the heady feeling that bombarded his senses.

Sora wanted to call for him to stop, but his did not know the stranger's name. Like a bolt of blue lightning, Sora tensed and pushed Riku away. Riku did not know what happened. He was enjoying the taste of this newfound sensation and had lost all semblance of control. As the desire cleared from his vision, Riku saw Sora crumble onto the ground.

Damn it! I just wanted to subdue his chattering. How did it get so far? Riku cursed as he struggled to handle the situation.

On the damp floor of fallen foliage, Sora felt tears fill his eyes. This was the first time he wanted to cry since the fire. Even when he was in so much pain during the time he was hurt, he had welcomed the suffering and did not even think of crying. Why did he suddenly feel like crying?

Riku fell on his knees and looked into Sora's lowered eyes. A long-forgotten warmth returned to his heart as Riku saw the tears hidden beneath Sora's long lashes.

"I am sorry. I don't mean to go so far."

"I don't even know your name!"

Indignation flashed in the tears-filled stare and Riku smiled a genuine smile.

"My name is Riku."

Riku offered Sora his hand.

Sora brushed away the embarrassing tears with the back of his hands before reaching out to accept Riku's hand. A sly smile appeared onto Riku's face as he pulled Sora into his arms. Lowering his lips to the side of his left ear, Riku whispered to Sora, "And you are?"

"Sora"
