Chapter two Changing is a Difficult Thing

Holding his hand up toward the ceiling while laying on his back in the moist sand, Riku started off at nothing. His eyes squinted as the roof of the cave came in and out of his vision's focus. So much had happened. He wasn't even sure what would happen next. Strangely enough he found this feeling comfortable though. Something new, different, exciting maybe. A part of him felt a way he didn't know if he had ever felt before…happy. The veil of sleep was slowly over powering his other senses. As he lowered his hand to his side and his eyes began to close, for some reason he could not get the thought of this new boy…Sora out of his head.

Sora began searching through his cluttered room. Digging through the large random piles placed through out the room. He was desperate to find things to take to Riku…strangely enough he felt he had to take care of him and until he knew that Riku was ok he didn't want anyone else to know about him. Not any of his friends, not his mom, not anyone. That was one of the reasons he was rushing. His mom would be home in a hour or so, Oh…all this stuff Mom? This…this is nothing. He didn't think it would play out very nicely. For now essentials, essentials were what he needed. He grabbed a large dark blue duffle bag, it was worn from years of use and a few spots were wearing thin. Quickly he unzipped the slightly rusty zipper and like a man running from the law he was throwing in some of his extra clothes, along with a old fluffy pillow. Running into the hall with the duffle bag bouncing at his side he opened the closet. Finding two large comforters he threw them over his shoulder but really they where over his head too. Now bounding down the stairs he looked rather comical, duffle bag swaying and hitting his leg, two huge folded blankets flopping around on his head and shoulder while one arm was reaching up to hold them. Once down the stairs he awkwardly ran into the kitchen and threw down the comforters. Pulling open the fridge and unzipping the bag he started to franticly put in tons of bottled waters. Then from cupboards he tossed in food that he knew wouldn't spoil. Quickly he zipped the duffle, closed everything he had opened, grabbed the blankets and went dashing out of the kitchen door.

The sun was starting to set and a chilly breeze was blowing in off of the water. Unlike when he first came to the main island he wasn't really worried about people seeing him and ran full force to his boat. Finally when he reached it he relaxed and took a much needed breather. His breath was beginning to fog in the chilled night.

"Oh man, all this sneaking around is going to kill me," he slowly started to put the things in the boat and sighed. After everything was in he surveyed the boat and climbed in, slowly rowing off to the small island.

"Riku. Riku I'm back!" Sora was walking back into the cave after bringing the supplies in through the entrance one at a time. He found it very inconvenient that the cave had such a small opening, "Riku?" He walked over to the spot he had left Riku and sure enough there he was peacefully sleeping. Silver strands of hair had fallen into Riku's face and were also framing it. Sora quietly put the things down and stood pondering for a moment. Rocking back and forth from heel to toe he stared at Riku. Wow he's really pretty…like a girl. Should I be thinking that…what? He let out a awkward sigh. There's nothing wrong with it…he's just girly looking…Feeling uncomfortable with the silence and his own thoughts Sora briskly walked over to Riku. He began to gently shake his shoulder, "Hey Riku wake up…Rrrrriiiiikkkkuuuu." No one wants to sleep on sand…that's the only reason I'm waking him up…and…and I bet he's hungry!

Riku slowly stirred and opened his eyes. Everything was slightly blurry but he could barely make out the figure of someone looking over him, "Sora? Sora is that you?" Riku's voice was quiet and slow from sleep. Slowly he began to sit up and stared at Sora, "What time is it? Have I been asleep for long?" Yawning he stretched.

Sora smiled awkwardly at him, "Actually I'm sorry to wake you but I brought you some things. You know bedding, I mean it can be very uncomfortable on the ground."

"You'd be surprised how much you really don't care where your bed is when your this tired," he laughed slightly, sleep was still not shaken fro him.

Sora was still smiling his childish smile at him, "I guess that could be true but I'm sure blankets and a pillow is much better. After all I did bring them all the way here. Oh, I also brought some food for when your hungry!" Quickly he grabbed the duffle bag, "It's in here along with water and some changes of clothes. I mean you need to…um…change out of those wet clothes." For some reason he felt strange when he said that.

Riku had a slight blush, maybe it was because of the way Sora cutely said that but, wait no, no that's not possibly what it could have been!! "Umm…th..thanks a lot," he slowly took the bag from Sora, "Yeah, I guess I'll just change now…" His slight blush was still painted across his features. Should I just change? Will he turn away? He looked at Sora and then quickly away. I guess it's normal to change… He slowly began to peel off his wet shirt.

Wah! Changing! Changing…chest…Ah! Sora quickly turned away, "I'll…I'll get your bed ready. After all you did say that you were really tired!" Sora laughed uneasily then picked up the blankets and stood up. Slowly he was unfolding the blankets and with every fiber of his being making sure not to look at Riku in the process. The blankets went out into the air like giant kites as he held onto one side while spreading them out and slowly they glided down to the ground. After laying out the blankets he carefully folded one back slightly and placed the pillow down.

"Hey thanks. That looks really nice," Sora jumped slightly and looked back at Riku. Riku was just looking down at him with a friendly and obviously over happy smile. Even though I can't remember…I know that someone has never been this nice to me. It feels so warm.

God that freaked me out! He makes me so jumpy. "Uh…It's really no problem…I mean I'm happy to help you," slowly he stood up. Looking at the bed then Riku and then the bed again a thought hit him, "Hey, make sure you lay in between the two blankets. That way one can be support and stop the sand from getting all over you. While the other can keep you warm," Sora smiled slightly at him.

Riku smiled back then slowly walked over to the bed, "Thanks a lot, you don't know how much I appreciate what you're doing for me. I don't know what would have happened to me without you." Once again you could see the tiredness in his body. He moved slowly and looked like he would collapse at any minute. Very grateful for the soft bed he crawled into it like a small fragile child seeking warmth, "Have a good night Sora."

"Yeah, goodnight…Riku." Sora felt oddly bad about leaving Riku out here in the cave and had a fake smile plastered on his face as he turned and started to walk out. Sure Riku was grateful but couldn't he just bring Riku back to his house…yes, he should confront his mother tomorrow morning and see if Riku could stay with them. He was almost to the entrance when he stopped and turned around, "I'll come and check on you in the morning…night again." Reluctantly he left the cave and Riku.
