The Light In My Heart
- - - - - - - - - -
I always wanted to go to other worlds. Was this some childish fantasy? Hn. There were times I doubted it wasn't. Ever since I was little, I yearned to see what lied beyond this tiny prison. This small prison called 'Destiny Islands.' I am but a prisoner, and a prisoner I shall always be. I made the decision. No more kid adventures. The real thing. I want to savor my first taste of freedom.
"Riku!" shouted Sora. "You bum! Wakeup!"
"H-Huh? W-Wha?" Riku stirred around on his bed. sigh Another dream. Riku sat up from the cozy warmth of his bed and turned to his open window. He looked out and saw his best buddy grinning like a fool. This made Riku laugh. He wants to get his butt kicked again I see.
"I'll be down in a minute!" shouted back Riku, smirking. Of course, it would be a very looong minute. Despite Riku's cool attitude, he wasn't
keen on tidiness. Hn. Just go through all the clothes on the floor and pick out something pretty. He picked out his usual yellow shirt and royal blue pants. Deciding it was satisfactory, he ran out of his bedroom-not bothering to shut it or lock it for that matter.
Riku groaned, lifting his arms above his head in a heavy stretch and a hinted yawn.
"Riku," Sora began, "are you okay? I mean, you been out of it for a few days. Is anything bothering you?"
Aww, how cute. Cheerful Sora was worried about him... ...?...'Did I just say cute?'
"Huh?" Riku offered, pretending he wasn't listening. Sora gave Riku his best death glare he could muster, which only caused Riku to tease him further.
"And you're still wearing that crown pendant?" He chuckled.
"Of course! You're the one who gave it to me! So I treasure it!" Sora declared happily.
Riku smiled. He couldn't help it. Combine ingredients sunshine, miracles, surprises and sugar mixed into one solution, you get the spirited youth, Sora. But over all, he was happy and content to have the brunett by his side. He was curious, however, that he had kept that trinket. It was just a birthday gift...and yet...he cherished it.
"Wanna go a round?" asked Sora, smirking.
"Sure." Riku retorted. "Anything to wipe that smug look off your face."
"I'm feeling lucky." He smirked yet again.
"Are we now?" Riku chuckled. "I don't think you're old enough to play with the big boys, So-ra."
Sora gave his infamous pout, giving Riku his best innocent act yet. 'Damn! Why is he so cute?!.. ...I did it again! Why do I think these things?!'
He just shugged them off as teenage hormones.
"Alright. You win. Same place as always?"
"You bet!" Sora declared with glee.
"Ladies first!" Riku laughed. Then lowered his back down slightly in a bow. Sora again threw his comrade a 'death glare.'
They went at it for hours it seemed, each had a wooden sword, fighting each other with equal vigor. Riku dashed at Sora. Sora leaped out of the way and brought his sword around to collide with Riku's side-making him yelp out in surprise and fall on his back. Sora laughed and giggled until Riku came back with a fierce rebound kick-right in Sora's face. Sora fell down on his backside, rubbing his jaw gently. Then stood back up and slung his sword at Riku wildly.
"Woah, there!" Warned Riku. "You'll get nowhere slinging your sword around aimlessly!"
"As long as it puts you in your place, you arrogant bastard!" Sora smirked.
"Oh my! Is little innocent Sora cursing? I thought I'd never live to see the day!" Riku mocked half-heartedly.
"Hey, Riku?" Sora questioned.
"What is it, 'O pure one?" Riku grinned.
"You like swimming?" Sora continued.
"Yeah, why d-" That's as far as Riku got out before he was shoved into the ocean off of the paopu island platform. Sora leaped into the air in joy.
"YEAH!! I did it!! I beat Riku the Swordmaster!!" Sora gave a few victory poses, and even threw in a little dance just to shake things up. A few moments later, Riku resurfaced, sputtering out salt water. He watched silently as Sora did his little dance. 'Ohh...he has a nice butt-No! Shut up!'
"About time.'' Riku smirked. Sora practically skipped up to Riku.
"You okay?" He giggled. "You're soaked! Whatever made you decide to go for a dip?"
"I don't know!" Riku sarcastically laughed. "I guess the urge crashed into me, literally!" Sora giggled again and extended his arm to help Riku out of the salty ocean water. Riku took it gratefully. 'I'm so glad you're with me, Sora.' He told himself metally.
Sora and Riku layed back on the sandy paopu platform, gazing up at the sky. These were the moments Riku lived for. The cool tropical breeze, stretching out on the sand, and being accompanied by your best friend. There were no worries, nothing to fret over...just...serenity. Destiny
Islands may be beautiful, but a part of him always hated it. He believed there was something much more, and he wanted to find it, welcome it, and embrace it.
A slight ruffling noise was heard by Riku's head, causing him to shake out of his thoughts. "Sora?"
"Riku...what would you think if I became a mermaid?"
"Mermaid, Sora? Don't you mean, merboy?"
"Whatever. Just answer the question." Sora turned his attention to the clouds.
"Well...I'd be a little weirded out but...I'd still love you." Riku gasped mentally. 'You did not just say that!!'
"Hmm. Well...what about a vampire?" He asked again. 'Did he just say what I thought he said?' Sora wondered.
"Ehh...freakish much?"
Sora lightly giggled. "I suppose you're wondering why I asked you those things?" Sora took his silence as a 'Yes I do! Pour your heart out!'
"I wanna...well...I don't wanna stay here anymore." Riku jumped up, staring at Sora increduously. "What?"
"I wanna get out and learn what's out there! I wanna see other worlds!" Sora smiled then slightly frowned, "Is it a stupid dream?"
Riku gave a hearty laugh. "No! Of course not!" he smiled. "I feel the same way. But...what does a err...merboy and a vampire have to do with anything?"
"Well...just imagine if there was an under water kingdom! We can't breathe under water Riku, so, a merboy. Or there was a place where lots of ghosts and skeletons hung out? You'd have to fit in somehow."
"Oh, Sora, Sora, Sora...you and your imagination, I swear!"
"It's a possibility!"
"Yeah right. And I have a high chance of havng my body possessed by some psyco." The two boys exchanged looks and laughed.
"Quite bluntly, I think your imagination needs improvement." Sora giggled.
"What? You mean no one would want to possess me?" Riku half-joked.
"Why would they?" Sora shrugged.
"Because I am drop-dead-gorgeous!" Riku chuckled.
Sora began looking at Riku intently. 'Yeah...you are... ... ? Wha? Where did that come from?!'
The both of them looked up at the sky, it was going to get dark soon. The sun was setting slowly behind the gemtle orange glow of clouds.
Turning the sky a brilliant shade of pink, purple, yellow and orange. To add more perfection to the moment, the ocean was rolling in gentle waves and the gulls cried out their song to echo in the endless sky. Riku turned to face the brunett. Beautiful. That was the only word he could conjure up. The colors of the sunset practically framed his face making him seem angelic. They also mixed in well with his tanned skin. Sora, sensing someone was watching him, turned to look at Riku.
"Something wrong, Riku?" Sora interrogated with concern. Damn, he looked so beautiful! He couldn't hold it in anymore! But...hold what in?
Did he actually-? Okay, he always admitted to himself that he loved Sora, but, in that way? He couldn't-no, he wouldn't. Why risk this friendship that they already had? Was it worth it? To ache for something more? Besides, that would make him...gay...wouldn't it? But he heard somewhere that it's alright to experiment with your sexuality. To find out how you really fit in.
"Sora..." Riku glanced at him wistfully. This was it...no holding back.
"Ri-" Riku gently pressed his lips against Sora's. At first, Riku was a little frightened. The thought of Sora rejecting him plagued his thoughts.
It hurt, the thoughts hurt. Imagine what it would do to him if Sora really did reject him.
Sora gasped and pulled away from Riku. "You just-!! I can't believe you just-!!" Sora leaped up and began to run, but Riku grabbed his hand to stop him in his tracks.
"Sora, please don't-" Riku begged. Sora pushed him away. What else could he do? He was confused! Here Riku had been his friend for over more than 10 years, and he knew just about every secret the silver-haired teen harbored. Shocked, befuddled, and worried-Sora began to run.
He ran and ran and didn't stop, even when his best friend in the whole wide world called-no, begged for him to come back.
"Sora...don't...g-go..." Riku fell into the sand, holding onto himself. He didn't hold back. The tears began to stream freely down his face. He released a loud scream and buried himself in his sobs, falling back to lean on the paopu fruit tree. It's his fault, he thought. Everything was his fault. He ruined their relationship. Those long-god knew how many years of trust-down the drain. All because he wanted something more than friendship from Sora. What had he expected? That innocent angel Sora would say 'Oh Riku! I love you! Oh touch me, have your way with me!'?
Never...that would never happen.
Sora turned his head towards the scream. 'Poor Riku...but...I-I didn't know what else to do...he-' Sora blushed and whispered, "kissed me."
'I have to face him sooner or later...' Sora, with a heavy heart, trudged back to Riku's location at the paopu island platform.
Riku had begun to settle down a little bit, but his shoulders still racked with near-silent sobs. When Sora saw this, it nearly tore his heart in two.
He wasn't used to seeing the strong silver-haired boy act this way. He looked so vulnerable, open to anything that seemed frothed with danger.
You just can't argue with a word like 'froth.'
"R-Riku?" Sora asked weakly. Riku didn't bother raising his head. Sora bit his bottom lip, thinking of what to do. That's when he decided to step forward and place a hand on Riku's shoulder. He let out a low whimper when Sora's hand came into contact with his body.
"Riku I-" Sora began before Riku interupted him.
"Think I'm a sick fag?"
"No!!" Sora nearly screamed. "How dare you say that about yourself!?!"
"It's true!!" Riku's own voice rivaling Sora's. "You ran from me when I-!!" He stopped his sentence short.
"Y-You're my best friend, Riku. I don't want to see you like this..." Sora quivered.
Riku peered up to gaze into Sora's beautiful sapphire orbs. The tears that found their way down Riku's precious face nearly drove Sora over the
edge. He was crying...because of him. He ran away when Riku was only being true to his heart. But was he? Sora threw his scrupples out the window and threw his arms around Riku affectionately.
"Oh Riku! Please don't cry!" Tears bagan to well up in Sora's eyes. "I love you!" Then pressed his lips against Riku's passionately.
Riku, although shocked, abliged by parting his soft lips, allowing Sora to explore the newfound territory with his tongue. Sora did so, plunging his tongue in deeper, never letting Riku go. It's a wonder that Riku never gagged. He then pulled Sora away from himself to look at him. What he found almost terrified him. Lust. Sora was looking at Riku...with lust!
"Oh, Riku...I couldn't hold it in anymore. Y-You confused me, then...the dreams came back into my memory." Sora whimpered.
'Dreams?' Riku thought mentally.
"You'd throw me down on a bed, your bed I think. Then you'd start kissing me all over. They seared and they burned, I tingled at every touch...every kiss. Next, you would strip yourself, giving me a little strip dance I think..." Sora blushed.
Riku was silent, his eyes wide open.
"After that, you took off my clothes and...told me how beautiful I looked. How no one else compared, how no one else could come to touch my beauty. Finally..." Sora trailed off blushing.
"Finally?" Riku urged him.
He blushed even deeper. "You'd take me in your arms and we... ...Umm, did it..." 'I-I can still hear the moans and shouts in my head...'
Riku smiled, but was also a tad bit shocked. 'I don't believe it, Sora...I-I had dreamed of that moment for a long time.'
Sora whimpered. "Is it wrong?" Riku embraced him, lightly stroking his brown hair. "Of course not.."
"Please...Riku..." Sora begged. Riku didn't understand. Sora gently carressed Riku's smooth cheek and whispered, "can we?"
Riku gasped. "Do you...really want to?"
Sora nodded.
"Here?" Riku asked.
Yet again, Sora nodded.
"Hn, right where everyone can see." Riku smirked
"It's not a game, Riku." Sora managed weakly. "I want you to make love to me." 'Shit! He's serious!' Riku kicked himself metally.
"But...aren't you a-a virgin?" Riku stammered.
"Aren't you one too?" Sora countered. Riku smiled. Well, he had one thing deciphered. Sora was definitely not the angel he pretended to be.
Riku advanced on Sora. He lightly pressed him to the sandy ground, stroking the side of his cheek. He bent down and stole a few sweet kisses from the brunett. Sora moaned opened his lips wide for Riku's predestined entry. Riku descovered every flawless detail of Sora's mouth...well... he did find a few places where Sora chewed on his jaw inside his cheek. But it didn't matter, all that did matter was that he was finally getting what he wanted! To taste the not-so-innocent angel was a sin unless with a blessing.
"P-Please more..." Sora begged. "I need you."
"Ssshhhh." Riku placed a finger on Sora's sweet lips. "Soon. Have patience." He smiled at the cherub. Then lowered his head and began to paint a path of pleasurable butterfly kisses down Sora's neck and collarbone. When he noticed some timid trembling from Sora. Riku pulled away from Sora to study him.
"Are you alright?" His voice coated with concern.
Sora just gave his trademark grin, and a very big grin it was. Riku always wondered how he did that. "Yes, Riku." And he pulled his face down so that their foreheads were touching.
Riku sighed and smiled. Oh how he adored Sora. He was his light, the only light that pierced through the darkness of his heart.
"I love you." Riku said.
"I love you, too." Sora whispered, undoing Riku's belt.
"Woah! Are you out just for sex?" Riku grinned.
"That's not the only thing...love, I want an eternal vow of love." Sora blushed. 'Oh, that was so corny...'
Riku smirked. "Alright. I Riku solemnly swear to love the precious angel Sora until the day I die...so help me God." Sora cocked an eyebrow.
"Wise guy, huh?" Sora retorted.
Riku grinned. He pulled his shirt over his head and began kissing on Sora's face, nibbling on his earlobes earning pleasured moans from the one below him. Sora then decided to strip his jacket...well, it was more of a hoodie. Then unzipped his red jumpsuit, stroking his hand over his ownchest seducing the silver-haired teen. Riku licked his lips repeatedly, oh how he dreamed of this moment. Reality was so much better than dreaming it. Such as kissing on a pillow in the middle of the night, pretending it's the one person you love but can never reach. Riku preferred to kiss on the brunett, than a wet pillow.
"Ohh..." Sora whistled, stroking his fingertips over Riku's groin area. "Someone's happy tonight." And true he was, it seems like an erection had found it's way to the surface. Riku smirked, pulling off his pants, letting Sora gawk at his body.
"My God, is that thing real?!" totally forgetting about his plan to seduce Riku, Sora grasped his hips to get a better look.
"It looks smaller most of the time, trust me." Riku chuckled.
"...." Sora smiled. "Really?"
"Mmhmm...so...how do you want to go about it?"
"Let's...just do it." Sora replied. Riku chuckled at his request.
"So...you wanna fuck like rabbits?" Sora giggled at Riku's words.
"Yes..." Sora leaned forward and placed a kiss on Riku's lips. Riku trembled in anticipation. Too many times had he imagined the young teen in his arms. This was his chance! Was he gay? Hell yeah! If it meant that he got to be with Sora.
"It will hurt some." Riku warned.
"It's alright." Sora reassured. "I know it won't be deliberate."
Riku slowly stripped Sora's suit from his body, silently worshipping him. "Oh, Sora. So...beautiful." Riku managed in a whisper, and began to plant kisses along Sora's soft tummy making him slightly giggle.
"Am I so entrancing to you, Riku?" Sora asked smiling.
"Yes." Riku whispered. He gently fondled the tip of Sora's erection, causing him to gasp in pleasure.
"R-Riku...please....o-ohh! D-Don't tease me!" Sora begged.
"Then do you want to make love now?" Riku asked, love brightly glowing in his eyes.
"Yes. I'm ready. I'm yours for the taking." Sora smiled sweetly, a smile entirely different from his unnatural cheesy grin. Riku gently spread Sora's legs apart. He spit into his hand and began to lubricate his erected sex, elicting moans from deep within his throat. God, he couldn't wait until the beautiful angel was his. He pulled his hand away from his throbbing cock and placed it near the rim of tight muscle that was Sora's entrance.
Sora gasped. Oh, how he wanted this. But...that would make him gay. Hell, he didn't care. He had been so confused from the dreams that everytime he saw Riku shirtless on the beach, he just wanted to jump him, ravish him, molest him even! And now...he knew that Riku felt the same. Theywere both kindred spirits. Sora scrambled from his thoughts when Riku thrusted his well lubricated erection into Sora's tight opening. Sora let out a scream. A scream of pain, but entense pleasure. It was unlike anything he ever felt before. Riku felt like screaming himself. Sora's loud screams nearly drove him insane. And he continued pounding in and out of the brunett.
"A-Awh!! RIKU!!! O-OH!! More!!" Sora tightly wrapped his arms around his partner.
Riku continued, each thrust felt as good as the last. They finally ended their session, Riku spilling his seed into Sora, and Sora releasing onto their stomachs.
"Ooohhh, Sora...that felt so good." Riku panted.
"It was...amazing...just...pure bliss." Sora smiled, brushing Riku's platnium hair out of his eyes.
Riku leaned down and kissed Sora gently and pulled himself out of the brunett.
"Riku...I-I have a gift for you." Sora whispered.
"Hmm? What is it?" Riku's eyes twinkled with interest. Sora stood warily and began to climb the paopu tree, then after a few seconds, he came back down with the star shaped fruit in his trembling hands.
"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives...no matter what." Sora reminded.
"You mean you want to be a part of my life?" Riku bolted up.
"Yes. And you in mine." Sora said as he broke the paopu in half and handed a piece to Riku. Sora smiled innocently and took a bite of the juicy fruit. Riku smiled back and took a bite as well. It was delicious. It had that elegant flavor that tickled your tongue. But Sora tasted better.
"Thank you, Sora." Riku nuzzled Sora and pulled him into his lap.
"Thank you, Riku." Sora nuzzled back.
"Sora, my angel, you are and will always be the light in my heart, guiding me throught the night."
Sora understood, he simply agreed, that he did...that he did.
