Since this chap has a lot of sex in it that is important for the plot of the story, a big part of this chap has been cut out, but please check my bio for the full version.

FOUR: Falling

Mindlessly looking at some couches displayed in front of him, Sora felt like he was about to die from the confusion. Finding an appropriate couch was more difficult than it initially had seemed. There were so many styles, too many colours and an absurd quantity of combinations between those two criteria's.

After only 5 minutes of walking through the store, he plopped himself down on a large sitting bag, holding his head in his hands. His mind immediately started to drift towards the things he and his best friend had experienced a couple of hours before... How he had loved it... How he craved for the blonde to touch him again... how he longed for his blonde headed friend to see him as his lover...

Never before had he questioned his sexuality. Like most boys he had figured that his first time would be with a girl, in his case Kairi maybe, and not with a boy. And on top of that his best friend too. But was feeling the way he did for the elder teen even normal? Maybe Riku had thought about it too and had already made his choice by subtly tell him that he wasn't interested in 'something more' between them. He had said so in some way, right?

Maybe it was best to stay the way they were... come to think of it; everything would have gotten more complicated between them for sure. And that was honestly something he didn't want to change: the way they got along together. It was perfect now; better not ruin it for something that was probably just a crush.

And then there was Kairi. It was totally obvious that the girl liked Riku over him. Well what girl didn't like Riku? He was handsome, his body looked like it had been made by gods, and he had the most gorgeous pair of eyes anyone had ever seen. And on top of all that was his charm and just this thing that he emitted... it was like...

He emits sex, that's all...

The brunette chuckled to himself at that thought. To think about the boy he had grown up with in such a way...Man...I got it bad... He couldn't help himself, just the thought of Riku naked and on top of him was all he needed to get aroused.

They had grown. They all had grown and only now he saw in what way.

Sex had never been an issue to stand still at. It had just been too gross to even talk about. But now that he knew what kind of pleasure it could procure, it was crazy, but he craved it. "Riku, you've gotten me addicted." Addicted to you...

But he was wondering if he really was gay. Earlier, he had been extremely happy when he had seen Kairi bounce towards the both of them. And with the remark of the blonde, he had silently agreed. She had been looking good. No, attractive. Sweet, innocent Kairi looking attractive? Wow, that's something new! But inevitable. She will become a woman... a very beautiful and appealing woman on top of that too...

That then brought him to his next thought. He had experienced sex with another boy, but what would it be like to have sex with a girl?

He chuckled, would Riku be there to help him with that too?

"Hell no, he'd probably make the girl turn away from me and get all the attention on him! Damn his good looks and cute butt!" Sora just couldn't believe that he had said that earlier to him. What had he been thinking! He softly laughed. Yeah...he hadn't been thinking that was what. He had gotten me to the point of utter frustration...but still, he has a cute behind... Ok...so I like girls and boys...? Sora, you're confusing yourself here! Stop thinking all together, it starts to hurt.

"Hey, there you are!"

The brunette looked up and smiled warmly as he saw his friend marching up to him. "Why are you sitting on your lazy ass instead of searching for a couch? And why the hell are you in this section? It's way too classic here."

"Oh it is? Oh well... uhm, why did you go with Kairi earlier on?" Sora whispered, following the blonde to the modern section of the store. He watched him smiling toward a brown leather lounge with three seats.

"Oh, it was just about the party. You can be sure that her friends will be there." The blonde nonchalantly said, plopping down on the couch and bouncing up and down slightly, "Comfortable... a great place to bump and grind something here." He flashed a mischievous smile at the brunette, who sat down beside him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. Nothing gay, just amicable, right?

"You know, sex looks good on you." Riku whispered, making the younger teen gasp. Did he really say that! Was it just a compliment? Or did he mean something?

The elder teen then stood up and snickered, knowing that he had confused the brunette, "Hey butthead, stand up we need to find that couch already."

Sora looked up to see Riku standing in front of another lounge sofa but this one had a two seat attached to it, so it made it perfect to fit in a corner. It was of a deep, warm red colour and was decorated with orange and red cushions, some with exotic patterns on them. It was quite nice to look at actually. The only problem was...

"The colour doesn't fit with the rest of the furniture, Riku."

The elder teen chuckled, "Only the walls don't match. But that can be easily helped."

"What do you... no way! We're not going to paint it over!"

"It has already been arranged. Cloud is coming over tonight to see what can be done. Remember he's an interior architect, he'll help us out."

Sora opened and closed his mouth a couple of times before shaking his head, "But I don't want Kairi's brother to help us out! My parents will kill me!"

"No they won't. They have been complaining about their living room for quite a while now, haven't they?"

Sora gulped and nodded a little... he did not like where this was going...

"Well, they never have the time anyways, so what do you say we help them out? Don't worry, though. I don't think we'll change that much. I just think it'll need a new colour on the walls and some changes here and there."

"But... but what about my grandmother? And the party? Won't it ruin everything?" Sora asked, silently hoping that it would help convince the blonde to give up his plan.

"We'll just say that we want it to be a surprise and that she can't tell your parents otherwise she would ruin it all. As for the party, it'll mostly be in the backyard, so the inside of the house will be pretty much saved from rampage."

"Pretty much? Rampage! Riku!"

"Hey! Chill already! I was only joking! We'll just close off the living room and whatever it is you want to keep secret from the guests, alright?"

"I'm...I'm still not sure..." the younger boy stammered, looking at the couch. "But this couch sure looks cool though."

"It does, but you won't be able to take it home with you if you don't change the interior first. Come on, Sora! We'll have so much fun painting! Kairi said she'd help too!"

Blue eyes lightened up a little at the mentioning of her name and Riku noticed this with suspicious eyes. "She did?"

"Yeah, she did."

"Well...eh...let's give it a try, but if I don't like it, we're going to paint it back!"

"I'm sure you'll like it. But just in case, Cloud will bring some drawings of interiors with him so you can see a little how the room will look like."

"Okay... then I think... it would be wise to wait with buying the couch until we've painted. I think you can order by phone too anyways."

"Cool, then we're taking this one?"

"I... guess..."

Riku chuckled at the hesitant look of his friend. So cute... "You know...maybe the old couch broke because it had had a lot of 'bumping' in the past..."

By the look the brown haired boy gave him Riku knew he was still not comfortable with the fact of his parents having sex. "And some intensive one too..."

"I get it Riku!"

"Maybe the new one... should get some kind of inauguration..." Riku then playfully continued, wiggling his eyebrows. Sora raised his eyebrows in response and smiled.

"To test if it's comfortable...?" the brunette said and plopped down on the couch, bouncing up and down on it for a while. He had his eyes closed and bit his lower lip like he was bouncing on something...hard and hot... Riku couldn't help but take a sharp intake of breath at this sight.

Oh man... why is he doing this! I swear, that sweet ass is going to be mine again... I can't believe how fast he has gotten me falling for him after all these years...

"What do you think about Kairi? Honestly, Riku. I've seen the way you two look at each other." The younger teen suddenly whispered, totally changing the subject with no warning.

Riku raised an eyebrow at that and then frowned slightly, sitting himself beside his friend. Sora, you're acting a little bit out of character here... was' up with you? "I already told you, she's starting to look very nice." He responded, not comfortable with the subject of Kairi. Why did he have to talk about her now?

"Nice as in fuckable?" Sora bluntly said, nonchalantly raising his shoulders as if he ha asked the most innocent of questions. The silver haired teen chuckled and shook his head in disbelieve.

"O...k. And here I thought that you were too innocent to even think about her like that."

"But you took that part of me already. Remember a couple of hours ago?" He then wrapped his right arm around the silver haired teen's shoulders again and wiggled his eyebrows. It apparently didn't have the desired effect on the blonde for his face looked like he was being hold by a mentally dysfunctional person.

"Uh-huh. Cut the crap, why are you saying something like this?"

Damn you, Cute butt! You know me too damn well, don't you? "I was just thinking about what you said earlier when we saw her."

"Well yeah she looked good. That doesn't mean I wanted to fuck her."

"Oww come on, Riku. It just glows off you!" Sora tried again, determined to have a confession out of the blonde.

Riku glared at him, looking offended. "You think I screw with every girl that happens to pass by or what? Even Kairi?" he spoke with a warning tone in his voice, making the smile the brunette had had on his face disappear into nothing.

"But I thought..." the younger one stammered as the blonde grabbed his arm and pushed it off his shoulder.

"You thought wrong, Sora!"

For a moment it was silent between them, only the dull music from the store interrupting the unspoken moment. Sora felt a lump in his throat and found himself holding back a sob. Oh man...what have I done? Now he's mad at me! "Riku... I didn't mean to..."

"Sora, look. It doesn't mean that just because a girl looks good and even attractive that she is suitable for having sex with. You have to know where to draw the line and hold your horses. Did you even think about the consequences if you were to sleep with Kairi?"

The blonde could tell that he had hit a tender spot. "Of course you didn't." He sighed as he saw a sad pout form itself on the younger teen's features and his eyes expressing the remorse he was starting to feel himself for scowling at his friend. "Hey... I'm sorry okay? I shouldn't have got snapped at you like that. But sometimes you can be pretty..."

"Stupid? Yeah, I know...I'm sorry too, but did you think about the consequences when you slept with me?" He whispered in a small voice, eyes sadly looking at the floor. This hurts...

Riku frowned for a moment and then hesitantly looked up at Sora. But I thought you didn't... How foolish of me...! "Sora you...felt...?"

The younger teen gulped and blushed. Now I've done it... Riku will turn away from me for sure...

The blonde took a shaky sigh and raised a hand to brush some strands of his brown hair back, "I... " He stopped and found those wonderful pools of blue fixed on him with a hint of hesitation and surprise at the hand that was caressing his hair. "I was afraid you..." He stopped again and took a deep breath. " I think I've fallen..." The last part he blurted out hastily and found the courage to keep his eyes on the younger boy's. "Fallen for you..."

Seeing that Sora only let out a shaky sigh, Riku thought that he had ruined everything and that the boy was now shocked by what he had just said, but wasn't this what he had wanted too?

"Sora..." he tried again, his voice slightly shaking.

"Does this make us lovers?" Sora interrupted, face blushed fiercely and blue eyes shyly directed to the floor.

"Do you... do you want us to be... lovers?" Riku whispered back, heart jumping up and beating faster in his chest.

"Do you want us to take that risk?"

"I know I want to be with you, Sora, in more than one way."

"And I know I want you to see me in more than one way... but..."

The blonde chuckled softly and put a warm hand on top of one of the younger teen's, interrupting what the other teen had wanted to say "I thought you would have gotten shocked about what I was starting to feel for you..."

Sora sighed a little and shook his head, that's where the confusion began. These feelings he felt were not really romantic ones... but Riku seemed to think that he did feel that way... He still needed to find out some things before he could make up his mind "You know what you said about sex awakening some feelings inside of people? I believe it is true, you know? I'm afraid. I don't know if this is just pure wanting or if this is really lo..." he fell silent and closed his eyes.

"Sora." Riku whispered, making the brunette look at him by putting a hand on his chin. That was it... he understood now..."Sora look at me. I'm afraid too you know? I don't know in which way this will affect our relationship, but I know that I'm feeling a strong attraction towards you."

"I'm attracted to you too, Riku. The way you made me feel... I really loved it. I've been craving for it since then..." He shyly looked away again and blushed, "But..."

"But what?"

"I don't know... it's Kairi."

"Kairi?" Ok, you're confusing me again. What the hell has she got to do with all of this!

Sora took a deep breath, "Yeah...no matter how much I want to have sex with you now, I just can't help wondering about how it would be like to... have a girl... perhaps even Kairi... I'm sorry, Riku."

Riku's face lit up and he nodded understandingly, "I see. You're wondering about your sexuality? That's pretty normal you know."

"You're not mad?"

"Why should I be? I'm not your boyfriend."

"Would you like to be?"

"Do you want me to be?"

Silence. Sora bit his lower lip, an apologetic look on his face. Riku scooted a little closer to him and pressed his forehead against his, his lips inches away from the brunette's.

"Look, here's what we're going to do. Find out what you need to find out about what you're feeling, Sora. But I've made up my mind already; I'll just accept whatever you decide. I don't want to pressure you, okay?"

Sapphire blue orbs looked into aqua ones, expressing relief and happiness. He smiled and pursed his lips, pressing a soft kiss on the corner of the elder teen's mouth. "I know one thing for sure. I want you to be my lover... I want you to make me feel like you made me feel earlier."

"Sora..."

"Riku... do it to me. I know I'm not being fair towards you by acting like this, but I really, really want it."

I know I should tell you about Kairi and me, but we promised to each other that we wouldn't tell you... how I hate to do this to you...I'm the one who's not being fair, but I still need my plan to work and gain you all for myself... release you of all doubts that are still lingering in your mind, Sora. And if this is the first step to take to reach my goal, I'll gladly imply to your wish... but you will find out that you've got the best here with me...

"Let's get home then."
