Sora looked down and met Riku's eyes. Almost as if they each had been pushed by some mystical force, their faces came together, and their lips met. They both yearned for more. Soon, their lips parted, and their tongues clashed.
Riku pulled Sora closer to him. Sora's hand began to creep up Riku's neck, pulling his lips closer.
Slowly, Riku's hand began to slither down Sora's side. As if awakening from a trance, Sora pulled away from Riku, and stood up, taking a few steps backward.
"What the…" Riku stammered.
Sora wrapped his arms around himself and held himself in a tight hug.
"You need to go," he said calmly. Riku sat with a startled look on his face.
"What the hell was that?" Riku demanded. "What the hell are you trying to pull?"
Sora just stared at the floor.
"I'm sorry. I just can't do this. Not now. I need to think… I need… space." Sora was trying to get his thought straight.
"Space! You need space?" Riku was getting really pissed off now. How could Sora just play me like that?
"Fine. I'll give you your space. I'll give you all the space you need!" And with that, he got up and headed for the door. "But don't come crawling to me when you realize that you've made a big mistake! Because I won't be there for you to take advantage of!"
And with that, he threw open the door and slammed it shut behind him.
Sora sank to his knees, still hugging himself, and cried. For the second time in his life, he felt like his world was being engulfed in darkness.
As Riku walked down the street, he realized what an idiot he had been. The last of the sun's rays began to dip down behind the horizon. Huge, dark clouds were forming overhead. Riku began to shiver, and finally found his car parked on the street. As he stepped in, rain began to fall, in huge wake of water.
He pulled on his jacket and started his car. As he drove off, he couldn't help but wonder about this weird weather change. He decided not to pay too much attention to it. He shook it off, and thought about what had just happened with Sora. He thought about how he had poured his heart out, and how Sora had just taken advantage of his feelings and his weakness towards him.
He continued pondering about the events that had happened and all that had taken place. A lone tear trailed down his cheek, and Riku felt his heart being ripped apart. He kept driving, as the rain beat down on his car. He pulled up to his house, and walked up the front steps. He stood there a moment, thinking if he should go back and talk to Sora.
He decided against it, and unlocked his door. As he walked in, he glanced over at his machine, but there was no blinking light. He sighed. Was I really expecting there to be something? What else is there to be said? He's chosen what he wants, and I have to learn to live with his decision. What else can I do?
He walked into his room, and peeled off his wet clothes. He laid on his bed, and stared at the ceiling. Sleep came and captured him soon, though his dreams were filled with darkness.
Sora sat there. He had stopped crying. He looked down at his hands and sighed. He pulled himself up off the floor. While down there, he had thought about a lot. Him and Kairi, the pain, Riku…. Riku. How could I do that to him? Does this mean I really have feelings for Riku? After all this time, has it always been him?
For as long as he could remember, he had always felt something inside of him, but he had never really known what it was. When he was younger, he always thought it was an organ malfunction… but there had never been anything wrong with him. It was this internal feeling of something missing. But whenever he was around Riku, it had always disappeared. He had never really paid attention to it before.
But now, it was worse than ever. It felt as if his heart was pounding against his chest, trying to escape. As if it wanted to go to Riku. Sora put his hands to his chest, as if trying to hold it in.
He looked up at the door, wanting to see Riku. But he had left hours ago. He knew Riku wouldn't be walking through it any time soon.
Finally, he made up his mind. Something had to be done, and he knew exactly what. He had sorted out his feelings, and was certain of what he felt. And he wasn't about to let this opportunity slip past him. Because if he didn't take the chance now, he knew he would never get it again.
He stepped out of his house into the cold, pouring down rain. He began to run. He didn't have time to find his keys, so he ran. He ran the entire 8 ½ miles to Riku's house.
Sora looked up at the door. He knew it would be locked, and Riku was probably in bed. So he walked around to the other side of the house and found Riku's bedroom window. He tried to open it, but it was locked too. So he began knocking on it.
Startled by a strange noise, Riku awoke. He opened his eyes, and lay there listening. The rain was still coming down hard on the roof, and at first he thought that's where the noise was coming from. But as he listened closer, it was a banging on his window. He got up and crossed the room, pulled back the curtains, and jumped back in surprise.
There, standing outside his window, was a soaked-to-the-bone Sora. His normally spiky hair was now drenched and clinging to his face.
Riku quickly opened the window, and stared, wide-eyed, at the boy in front of him.
"Sora! What are you… why ar… how di…" Riku tried to form a complete sentence, but he could not. He was struck dumb by the sight of the one he loved, soaking wet and dripping.
"Riku, I…" Sora began. He had thought about what he wanted to say the whole run here. But now, he couldn't think of a single word that he had come up with. He began breathing heavily, the burden of the run finally catching up with him.
He grabbed the window sill to balance himself. He began getting dizzy, and his legs felt like they were going to give out under him.
"Where's your… you didn't RUN all the way here did you?" Riku stammered. Sora nodded his head.
"I.. had.. to.. get.. here.. as soon.. as.. I.. could.." he stated in between breathes.
"Wouldn't a car have been faster?" Riku questioned. Sora looked up at him and smiled. God, that smile…wow, his face is really red.
"I couldn't find my keys, heh heh" Sora laughed. I can't believe I'm doing this…
"Um, do you want to come in Sora? You're already pretty wet, and you're just kinda getting wetter by standing there, if it's possible."
Sora blushed. "Yeah, that'd be nice."
Riku held out his hand and pulled sora in through his window. Once he was in, Riku ran to get him some towels. Sora had just come in, and already there was a fat puddle on the floor. He pulled off his jacket and t-shirt by the time Riku got back. Riku stared at his water covered body glistening in the bedroom light. Damn, he's SO hot!
He handed Sora a couple of towels.
"Thanks" Sora replied.
"No problem." Riku answered. Sora sat on a chair and pulled off his shoes and socks. As he went to undo his pants, he paused. He looked over at Riku, who then turned away, blushing, having been caught staring at him.
"I could leave if you want," he said, still blushing.
"Oh…no. It's ok." Sora replied. He took one of the towels, and wrapped it around his waist. Then, he undid his pants from underneath, and slipped them off.
What a tease! Riku though. He bit his bottom lip, holding back the sudden urge to jump on Sora. Lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice the other boy staring back at him.
"Um, what do I do with these?" he asked holding up the clothes wrapped in towels. He still had the one around his waist.
Riku took a quick look up and down Sora's body before taking the clothes from him and running out of the room. Sora heard the sound of a drier kicking on, and he walked over to Riku's dresser. He stared at the variety of boxers and such, and was taking out a pair when Riku came back in.
"If you wanted a token, all you had to do was ask" Riku said with a small grin on his face. Sora pulled out a pair of red checkered boxers and spun them on his finger.
"I think I'll take these" he replied. And with that, he turned, and dropped his towel. Riku stood in awe of Sora's marvelous body. He couldn't hold back his urge any longer. He lunged at Sora, grasping him from behind, and dragging his nails into Sora's sides.
Sora's head crashed into Riku's shoulder as a moan of pleasure escaped his lips.
"Riku… wait… I have… stuff… to tell you…" he said fighting back the urges. He stepped away from Riku and pulled the boxers on. Riku let his arms drop to his sides in defeat.
Sora walked over and sat on Riku's bed. Riku's anger from before began to built back up as he sat next to Sora. First all the shit before and now he's teasing me again? What the hell could he have to say to me now?
"After you left, I did some thinking," Sora began. "The moment you walked out my door, I felt like I lost everything. My heart slammed into my chest, as if trying to escape from the mistakes my body had made. I sat on the floor for hours, and I realized something."
He stopped for a moment and looked into Riku's eyes. He could sense anger mixing with confusion and curiosity.
