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.


Riku came back into the apartment and faced two pairs of stunned eyes. Wakka was stunned at the fact that Riku, who had previously been in the shower, had now magically walked through the front door. That, and the fact that Riku was almost naked. Sora, on the other hand, was more stunned at the encounter with Riku's parents (as stated earlier, he was quite used to Riku walking around the apartment less-than-fully clothed).

"So... your parents are..." said Sora. Unfortunately he couldn't think of an appropriate word. "Your parents are," he finished.

Riku brushed some dirt off of the towel before nodding. "Yes, they're very charming people."

"Well... that's nice, I guess," replied Sora. Wakka, on the other hand, was being plagued by another thought.

"Riku, man, how is it that you and your father have silver hair?"

"I have no idea. I'm quite fond of it though. Along with most of the people that I've ever met."

"So, why did your parents come here?" asked Sora.

"They have come to see why I was not able to come to the banquet my mother threw recently," was the prompt reply. "Fortunately for me, or so my mother has said, she has invited us to her next party."

Sora blinked. He often blinked, but there was something very significant about this particular blink. "A... a party?"

Riku smiled evilly. "Yes. A party. A fancy dress party, infact."

"That's nic- wait a minute." Sora narrowed his eyes. "Us? Who is us?"

"Why, you and me, of course! And any other friends that you might want to bring along."

"Wait, me? But I can't! Do I really have to?"

"Oh, come on, Sora! I can't miss this or my mother will have my hide, and it would be so tedious without you there to entertain me. You can bring along any other friends!" Riku turned to Wakka and smiled. "Why don't you come, Wakka?"

No one had the chance to answer because that was when Kairi walked in. "Sora, hi! Riku? Um... hi..."

Sora walked over to her and they shared a brief kiss. Sora turned back to face Riku. "That's right, I forgot to ask you guys about last night! How did that go?"

Kairi blushed. "Um... it went... it was... it was very... educational?"

"Educational?" asked Sora.

Kairi blushed. "Well... actually..."

Riku suppressed a sigh. Kairi was babbling like an idiot. She would surely give both of them away. He smiled. "We had a wonderful time. It was educational because we learned to eat snails. It's a lot more tricky than it seems, you know." Riku smiled at Sora and gave Kairi a friendly pat on the back. "Thanks to you, Sora, Kairi and I have gotten the chance to get to know each other better and now we're very good friends."

Sora looked from Riku to Kairi blankly. "Well, that's good, I suppose..."

"Well, um, Sora?" said Kairi, "the reason that I came was to remind you that you promised to fix my sink..."

"Oh, yeah! Right now?"

"Now would be nice."

Sora grinned apologetically at Wakka and Riku. "Oh... Well, in that case: bye guys! Don't kill each other."

Riku nodded and an odd spark entered his eyes. "Of course we won't kill each other! I'm sure that we'll get along quite... well."

"Ya, bye Sora," said Wakka. Sora waved at them and then let himself be dragged off by Kairi.

After the door closed there was an uncomfortable moment of silence. Riku turned to Wakka and grinned.

Wakka got a little scared, Riku had a hungry look in his eyes. What if he was a cannibal? It was possible! After all, none of them really knew anything about Riku! So Wakka did the only thing he could think to do. "Well, I think that it's best if I go now." He tried to escape. He got up off the couch and headed to the door, only to find Riku blocking his way.

"Must you, really?" asked Riku.

"Erm..." said Wakka. He said this because Riku was advancing on him. "Erm..." he said again, but this time it was because Riku was so close they were almost touching. Wakka took an uncomfortable step back. "Ya. I have to leave..."

Riku kept moving forward, Wakka kept stepping back. Until he hit the couch. Wakka found that he really hated the couch for blocking his way. Wakka stopped moving, but Riku did not. Wakka was now very aware of Riku's state of undress.

"I don't think that you really have to leave..."

Wakka was panicking. Why was Sora's roommate so close to him? "B-but..."

Riku was now leaning forward, Wakka's panic forcing Wakka to lean back. Which eventually lead them to a very uncomfortable position. Riku pressed a light kiss to Wakka's lips.

"B-b-but what about T-Tidus?"

Riku grinned. "You know what they say... What he doesn't know can't hurt him..."

"B-but I don't think I should..."

"Don't you want to?"

"I... I'm not sure."

"Come on," Riku raised an eyebrow, "it's not like Tidus'll ever find out..."

Well, Wakka supposed that Riku was right. "Well... alright... but I wanna be on top!"

"Not a chance." Riku grinned wider and Wakka found that he didn't really care anymore.


Authors Note: O.o erm. Yeah. Was that too much detail? Don't kill me, please...
