In the candle light

By Kitsuna Ri

Ch.3

You told me to say something...

Thirty minutes passed by until Sora finally snapped. He hated it when everything was too silent! As he was about to say something Riku was opening his mouth to say something as well.

"Riku..."

"Sora I wanted..."

The two stared at each other for a moment and laughed.

"You go ahead Sora..."

"Err no...that's ok!"

"No, go ahead, really."

"Errr...I forgot ''''' "

Riku stared at Sora blankly then rolled his eyes.

"ok I'll take that as a hint, you don't want to tell me....alright then....I was just going to say...umm..."

Riku debated with himself inwardly. Should he just come out and say it? (A/N: Yes...say it...then I can wrap up this story....Muses: WHAP GET BACK TO WRITING! NO CHEATING EITHER!!!) No...now just wouldn't be the time...or would....

uggghhh! I don't know!!!

"Errr Riku? You were saying...?"

"Huh? oh umm I was going to say...maybe you should, try and cut th' candle wick before it got to long...or else the kitchen will fill with smoke..."

"oh..."

Riku mentally hit himself.

Stupid! Stupid!! If you weren't going to say anything that you really want to at least come up with something better than candle talk...-- uggghhh

Another uneasy silence came over the two of them and they just stared. It was killing Riku inside not to just jump the smaller boy but he refrained himself. Of course...the mental images in his head really weren't helping....

Riku found himself staring off into space until a loud crash sounded outside. The two boys jumped in surprise and looked at each other.

"What was that?!"

"How should I know??"

"Maybe we should go check it out..."

"But it sounded like it came from outside!"

Riku raised his eyebrow and smirked. How cute. Sora was scared! He chuckled lightly as Sora pouted.

"Well I'll be with you! I can protect you from any evil beings that might lurk in the dark!"

"You're mocking me...aren't you?"

"Yes,yes I am."

Sora stuck his tongue out and the two of them stumbled towards a window to see what had caused the loud crash sound.

"I think a tree limb fell.."

"Let me see! Let me see!"

Sora pushed Riku away from the window and saw a huge limb sitting in front of the lawn.

"What a brilliant conduction Einstein...--"

"I always say I'm a genius..."

Sora rolled his eyes as Riku grinned. Riku was really full of himself....

The two stared outside for moment when lightning flashed again.

"Gah!"

The rain became harder than ever and the two backed away from the window, feeling their way into the living room. Sora was feeling in front of him when he felt something that didn't feel like the wall...

"Sora..."

"Yes?"

"Why are you touching my butt?"

"GAAAH! I'm sorry! I'm really really sorry!!!"

Sora put his hands down to his sides immediately. He could feel himself blushing like mad. Riku chuckled. They both seemed to have been walking forever when they finally found the living room. Riku walked around hoping he would bump into the couch. He finally bumped into something.

"I think I found the couch..."

"Ok..."

Sora put his hands out when he heard Riku sit down, Riku in turn grasped the air and then Sora's hand, pulling him down...Sora fell, but didn't land on the couch.

"Ouch!"

"Gah!!"

"You're sitting on me!"

"You pulled me down!!"

"I was trying to help!"

"Well sorry! I lost my balance!"

"...."

They stayed in that position for a moment. This would be a long night....

Over an hour had passed when the lights flickered on and off.

"Wonder if they'll stay on this time..."

"Hopefully they'll stay on so we can at least grab some food and then go up to your room..."

"Yeah..."

With their luck, the lights did stay on long enough just to do that. Once in Sora's room, another loud crack was heard and the lights went out.

"This is getting really old..."

"No kidding..."

"Hey Riku..."

"What?"

Sora bit his lip.

"Weren't you going to tell me something a while back?"

"When?"

"When we both spoke at the same time and we were in th' kitchen..."

"oooh yeah..."

Riku was silent for a moment and Sora wondered if he had forgotten what he was going to say.

Riku sighed. He supposed it was time to finally tell Sora the truth.

"Sora...what I was going to say...and what I've been trying to say for the longest time is that..."

He stopped himself and everything was silent again. Sora was getting anxious and slightly worried. What was it Riku wanted to tell him?

"Sora...this is really hard for me to say...and I'm sure you'll hate me after I say it but..." As soon as Riku started again the electricity blinked and came back on. Riku cursed inwardly and looked over at Sora. Sora, who was especially happy about the lights being back on, looked over at Riku and waited for him to continued what he had been trying to say. Riku took a deep breath and looked into Sora's eyes.

"Sora...I like you."

Sora blinked and stared at Riku in confusion.

"Well...I would hope so Riku! We're best friends!!!"

Riku groaned and shook his head.

"No Sora! I really really like you! More than any friend should!! Do you understand what I mean???"

Sora thought over it for a moment then made a 'o' with his mouth. They rested into a very uncomfortable silence. Riku inwardly cursed himself but looked towards Sora, waiting for some sort of reaction. After agonizing minutes, Sora finally said something.

"Do you really mean it?"

"Wha? Of course I do Sora. Why would I have said it if I didn't?"

Sora sat back into silence, thinking over it some more. Riku just admitted his feelings for him, shouldn't he do the same? But, how? Sora inwardly groaned. Finally, after more than enough silence, Riku stood up and began walking out of the room. Sora started to say something, but he was having a really hard time speaking as it was. Riku left the room and went downstairs, he felt like banging his head against the wall but refrained from doing so. Why had he done that?!

"Well...he did want me to say something...ugh..."

---------------------
