Riku and Sora began to slow down their mashing. Their lips were raw and both felt a little sick from the spit they were sharing.
But they were happy.
Riku was still confused. "Sora?"
"Yeah, Riku?" Sora said, content at his evening.
"When?"
"When, what?" Sora said, putting on his "what the fuck" face.
"When did you start to… you know, have feelings for me?" Riku said quietly, avoiding Sora's glance and blushing all the while.
"Ohhh." Sora said sitting back and licking his lips, as if trying to get every ounce of Riku's saliva into his own body. "Well, I guess it was when I was about… 12! Yeah, that's when I realized I liked boys."
Riku sat back also. Liked boys? Have there been others? "Oh."
The two sat in silence for a few moments. It was thick and unsteady. Finally, Riku broke the silence. "Sora?"
"Yeah, Riku?"
"Have you… liked other guys?"
Sora sat in silence. This made Riku nervous. He has…
"Nah. You're it, Riku. You could almost say we were meant to be!" Sora flashed him a giant grin and shook his head. "What time is it? 11 already? I should get going! Bye, bye Riku. I'll see you tomorrow?" Sora said, standing up and planting a kiss on Riku's forehead.
Riku just sat in silence as he watched Sora leave. "You could almost say we were meant to be…" Riku softly quoted. "Maybe we were…"
Riku got up and slid toward the living room, hoping to catch some good television. But he was stopped by a knock on the door. Sighing and hoping it was Sora again, ready for another make-out session. He reached the door and opened it; nearly screaming as he saw whom it was at the door.
Terik, his love from years ago stood on his doorstep. "Hello, Riku." His voice was calm and yet unsure. "I'm back."
Riku stood there, staring at Terik. "I can see…"
And then without another word, Riku slammed the door in front of Terik's face.
"No way I'm going down that route again…" Riku said, sweating and nearly crying. "Shit…"
He stumbled towards the telephone and tried to call Sora. However, he was shaking too hard to call. The knocking at the door continued, causing Riku to lose his balance with every knock. "Sora… help me…" Riku called out, sprawled on the floor, having a breakdown.
Within the next five minutes, a cold washcloth was draped across Riku's forehead and warm kisses were planted over his face. But Riku felt nothing, he had passed out from shock.
He did not awaken until the next morning.
