"Well what is it?" He had to admit, he was curious. Sora held out his open palm, a chain falling down either side of his hand, in the center was a small pendent of a crown. Riku had given it to him a long time ago. He had to admit, he was shocked he still had it. "S...Sora..." Shaking his head a bit, he did something that he knew he would end up cursing himself over later but, he grabbed Sora by the shoulders and kissed him. Not rough like one would instantly think Riku would do, but soft and careful...Soras eyes widened and his body moved slightly and Rikus first instinct was... 'He's going to run away...'
Riku had been right, Sora was going to run away. The brunettes whole body turned and began to move away. Riku looked down with a sigh only to see his hand intertwined with Soras... Does he know? Looking up he received a smile and took it as a hint to follow him. Everything was moving so quickly and Riku got lost. Then something nudged him in the side...Everything just...disappeared...
Riku sat up with a start, looking left, then right. A faint drip, drip, drop could be heard outside his window. Everything was different then it was before. Everything was real. Nothing was a dream. Sora wasn't with him. He allowed his body to crash back onto the mattress with a heavy sigh. A soft whimper made him look over and he almost jumped again. His brown haired beauty was curled up beside him and obviously not happy about the movement on the bed. Riku had to rethink this, how did he get here...why was he still here, and by him, in his bed for that matter?!?! He looks so cute when he sleeps... Sora had the pillow in his arms in a death grip yet also managing to rest his head on it.
"I love you Sora, you'll never know how much..." Riku brushed some of the strands of hair that fell into the boys closed eyes, almost feeling he had accomplished something by saying that. But Sora would never know, he was still asleep and hell could freeze over and the worlds fall apart, and he would probably still sleep. They had meant to set out on their raft the previous day, but a storm had delayed their plans. Kairi had gone home and it was to far for Sora to walk in the rain so he had stayed with Riku. With a sigh, the silver haired boy noticed a shiver and layed back down, placing his arm over the shivering boy, maybe morning would bring sunshine and Sora would smile again...
"I love you..." Soras words were a soft whisper and lost to the darkness of the room, as if almost plucked from the air. Maybe had Riku heard them, things might have been better for all of them.
