Authors Note: This chapter is longer then usual, but it's really two chapters. Or it was. And then it turned out to be too short an I just wanted to write the cursed restaraunt scene. I refuse to use bad words in my authors notes! Whoo-hoo! But there will be bad language in this chapter (which is why this story is rated pg-13). Thank you Lack Thereof, Queen of the Insects, Kanilla-Master of Fluff, carbuncle021, Aeshma-the-dark-fury (ashton?), ARandomKid, and mango smoothies for their wonderful reviews. I love reviews, they make me happy :) Virtual hug to Kanilla-Master of Fluff! Yay! I got a muffin! And mango smoothies, well, I have to blab the plot to someone! Otherwise I might explode...
WARNING: This chapter contains HETEROSEXUAL CONTENT! And homosexual content, but I think that we've all come to expect that from the Kingdom Hearts fandom... If you have a problem with either of these, I hope that you can find the power within yourself to keep reading. Please?

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, but I own the story, so read and enjoy but please do not take.

Summary: One day a man in a wet shirt and leather pants shows up on Sora's doorstep. So, Sora gets a roommate, a young artist named Riku who turns out to be the most charming person person he has ever met. So charming, infact, that he proceeds to charm the clothes right off of all of Sora's friends. But that's okay, because Sora doesn't know. Yet.


Sora was sitting on the couch with Tidus and Wakka. Riku was running around like a headless chicken (1). He was only wearing a towel around his waist and he was looking for his pants.

"Sora! Have you seen my leather pants?" Yelled Riku. He was getting a bit upset.

"Sorry, no," Sora yelled back.

"WHAT? Do not tell me that you haven't seen my pants! You damn-well have seen them and you're going to tell me where they are!" Riku was getting more than a bit upset.

Sora, on the other hand, was very calm. Why wouldn't he be? He was sitting on the couch, eating junk food, and watching his favorite show with his friends. "Are you sure that you took them out of the cupboard?"

"YES! I am god-damn SURE that I took them out of the god-damned CUPBOARD!" Riku stormed into the kitchenette to look in the cupboard. He knew he wouldn't find his pants in the cupboard because he had never put his pants into the cupboard. Nonetheless, he had run out of ideas, as well as, it seemed, pants. "Why in the nine hells would I even put them into-" And then he found his pants. He promptly turned to Sora and Smiled.

"So, Sora... How has your day been?" he asked in a pleasant tone of voice. Sora turned around and was not surprised when he noticed that Riku didn't even have the decency to blush with embarrassment.

"Good..."

"And who are these lovely people that are sitting next to you?"

Sora was a decent person, and he had the decency to blush in embarrassment at his forgotten his manners.

"Um... yeah. Riku, this is Wakka," Sora pointed at the redhead. Wakka raised his hand and threw a quick "yo!" over his shoulder. "And this is Tidus," Sora pointed to the blonde. Tidus turned around smiled and waved. "Guys, this is my roommate, Riku," Sora finally finished.

"Of course, your roommate! And here we were, wondering about what this strange, half-naked man was doing in your apartment," joked Wakka. Riku would have taken offence at being called strange, but at this point he really wasn't paying attention. The retrieval of the pants posed a problem for him, he now needed to figure out where his underwear were... He smiled briefly, just in case, and then rushed off to his room.

"Well, he's kinda psycho, isn't he?" asked Wakka after a moment.

"Nah," answered Sora. "He's just a little stressed."

"Where the hell are you? When I find you I'm gonna-!" yelled Riku from his room. Sora hoped that he was addressing his shirt (he wasn't, but that's not really the point).

"Nah. He's a little psycho," said Tidus.

"How that hell did you get in here, you little-!" came from Riku's room.

Sora shrugged. "Yeah, I guess." He turned to the T.V. "But only a little bit," he added for a moment. He knew that if he hadn't said that, his conscience would have strangled him.

Riku finally came out of his room, fully dressed. He actually was not, but that also was not the point. The point was that he looked fully dressed. That's what really counts, you know, appearances. People will tell you that that isn't true, but... well. You know who to trust.

"Well, I'm off," Riku said to Sora.

"Bye," said Sora. And then he convenietly forgot to tell Riku that there was a large spot of flower on the back of Riku's pants.

There was a moment's silence. "He's got a nice butt, though," said Wakka.

"Wakka!" Sora said with indignation. Tidus smacked the back of Wakka's head.

"Don't worry, baby, I only love you," said Wakka before pulling Tidus into a kiss.

Sora watched them while counting to five. "Um, yeah. Guys? Could you not do that please...?"

Wakka and Tidus ignored him and were now beginning to do indecent things on his couch. "Guys? Guys!" Sora threw the remote control at them. It hit Wakka straight in the head. There was a loud clunck. This effectively caught Wakka's attention. He looked up at Sora, blushed, and then got off of Tidus.

Wakka coughed. "Erm... Sorry about that, Sora."

Tidus sat up and started to button up his shirt. "Yeah. What he said."

"Hey Sora, aren't you supposed to be at some lecture or something?" asked Wakka.

"No."

"Oh! So you just made that story up so that Riku and Kairi can get to know each other?" asked Tidus.

Sora shrugged. "No. I just don't like French food."

What most people don't know is that Sora is a lot smarter then he looks and acts. No, really.

At that moment Riku came back into the apartment. "Forgot my jacket-" and then his gaze fell on Wakka, blushing and his hair messy, and then on Tidus, slowly buttoning up his shirt. Riku's eyes went back and forth for a moment, and then he looked at Sora.

"It's exactly what you think," said Sora with a shrug.

Riku stared at the three of them blankly. And then he grinned and gave Wakka and Tidus a thumbs up. "Alright!" He grabbed his leather jacket and left.

"No, really, he has a nice ass," said Wakka after a moment.


(1) I think that this is a safe guess, but I can't be sure because I have never actually seen an actual headless chicken actually running around. I think that if I was a headless chicken, I'd be too busy dying of blood loss to be running around...

Riku entered the fancy restaurant and was told that a young lady was waiting for him. Usually the woman was the one to be fashionably late, but Riku had always thought that this was silly. He was a man, but he was a fashionable man, so why couldn't a fashionable man be fashionably late?

Riku was escorted to where Kairi was sitting. She smiled at him. "Men. You're always late."

Riku smiled back. "Well, us men, we're good for one thing."

"Oh yeah? What's that?"

"Eh, I don't know" Riku sat down.

"It's too bad that Sora couldn't come," said Kairi.

Riku grinned and leaned closer. "Not really. I'm sure that we can... get along... just fine without him." He winked at her.

Kairi blinked and decided to play along. "I'm sure that we can. What exactly are you suggesting?"

"I'm suggesting..." Riku leaned farther in and softly placed his lips on Kairi's.

Kairi was shocked. "B-but... What about Sora?" she asked after Riku pulled away.

"What about him? What he doesn't know can't hurt him." Riku grinned.

Kairi was silent for a moment, and then she came to her decision. "Yeah." She smiled back at Riku. Riku was much better then Sora anyway, he was charming, quick-witted, and very attractive. Besides: what Sora doesn't know can't hurt him... right?


Author's Note: Erm... yeah. That was quick... Well, Riku is VERY attractive, and betweenyou and me, Sora wasn't putting out. O:)And I had to make Wakka and Tidus gay, if they weren't, then certain bits of the story wouldn't have worked...
Please review! I need e-mail, I become really sad if I open my e-mail and I have no e-mails...

Next Chapter: we get to meet Riku's parents, yay!
