Author's Note: Well, here's the third chapter! I wrote it in like an hour because I was feeling bad about taking so long with the other. But R&R anyway! Or you wont understand the chapter after this one. Also, this is a lot shorter than the other two chapters. And was notably easier to write. But I still think it turned out well. Yay shounen-ai!
Disclaimer: I do not own KH or any of its characters. Sadness for me. On to the fluff!
Chapter 3
Negai o kuchi ni shitai dake sa
Someone was calling him. "Ri....up...Get up, Riku...."
Slowly, holding his head in his hand, Riku sat up. "Uh...What?"
"You're awake! That's good." Sora's voice came to him as though muffled by something.
Riku mumbled something as his vision came back to him. Sora was standing in front of him; hand out to help him up. Riku took it and looked around. "Where are we?" The two were standing on a platform in a huge area of black.
"Dunno. I'm really glad you're here though."
"What?" It was just then that Riku realized Sora hadn't taken his eyes off of him since they both came to.
Sora shifted uncomfortably. "Well," he started, "I wouldn't want to be alone here. I dunno how to get out of here. And...."
Riku blinked. Sora wasn't acting his usual self. Why is he so uneasy? It didn't occur to him that it was odd that he wasn't uneasy about the surroundings.
"And now that we're off the island, we don't have to listen to what other people tell us to do."
"Sora."
"Riku, I..." Sora stammered, looking down.
Riku's brows furrowed in confusion. What was Sora trying to tell him? Maybe.... "What is, Sora?"
The brunette looked up at him. For a moment the two just watched each other, the darkness surrounding them no longer seeming so thick. Then Sora moved. Riku's eyes went wide as he felt the pressure of the other boy on his lips.
After a moment Sora stepped back.
"S-sora? What..." Riku was at a loss for words. Was that really Sora? Had they really just kissed?
"I like you, Riku. And now we can be together." Sora kept his eyes locked on Riku's.
"But...Kairi. I thought...."
"I see the way you watch me, Riku. I can tell you feel hurt when I'm with Kairi. Riku, you like me. Don't you?"
Riku didn't answer. He just stared at Sora. I...Is this Sora? Did he really tell me he likes me?
"Don't you??"
Again, Riku didn't answer. He decided to prove rather than tell. He closed the gap between them once more. Arms locked around bodies, eyes closed from sheer feeling; both were trapped in a single moment of ecstasy. Riku's head went back as Sora slowly started tracing his way down his neck. Please...Let this be real... was Riku's thought before Sora's voice interrupted.
"I'll keep going, Riku. But will you do something for me?"
Riku made a small noise in question.
"Just open your eyes."
He nodded and did so, finding himself in a place quite different from where he had been before.
Riku found himself sprawled out on a platform similar to the one he and Sora had been on. But now there were other platforms leading up to a large castle in the middle of a valley with steep rock walls.
He sat up and looked around. "Where am I?" He stood and called out, "Sora? Sora! ...Kairi? Hello??"
Then what had happened before was nothing more than a dream. But it had felt so real. He could still feel Sora's warm breath on his chest. Riku sat back down and stared at nothing for a very long time.
A/N: Did you like it? Please tell me you liked it! Yes, it's fluffy. Yes, the ending is sad. No, that wasn't in the game or the manga. But Riku waking up in Hollow Bastion was! So ha! ::ahem:: I feel bad torturing Riku like this. Am I a bad person? Or do you guys like it that way? Don't forget to review!
