Everything was back to normal.Everything was rested,Riku was happy,...and in love.His friend that he had known and had been rivals with since childhood,the friend that had betrayed him for Donald and Goofy,his friend,...Sora.No,he wasn't in love,he was obsessed.All he dreamed about was Sora,all he thought about was Sora,all he had desires for was Sora.'Feh,'he thought.'If Kairi doesn't like it,she can shove it down her throat.'The only thing keeping Sora from him was,in fact,Kairi.Riku decided not to give up until he had him.'If I have to,I'll,...I'll-'

"Hey,Riku!It's my birthday!Come on down!"Sora yelled.

Riku opened the window.He looked down at Sora and smiled."Hold on,lemme get dressed."Riku went back inside and got out of his pajamas and into his regular clothes.

"So,what are you getting me for my birthday?"Sora asked as he opened the door.

"It's a surprise.I'll tell you tonight at your party."

"Okay.Whatever.Wonder what Kairi will get me?..."

'All he thinks about is Kairi!Never does he think to think about me every once in a while,'he thought.

That night,at the party,the guests were playing a game of 'Truth or Dare'.It was Riku's turn.

"Truth or Dare,Riku?"asked Sora.

"Truth,"said Riku.

"Okay.Tell us something truthful that we don't know."Sora laid his head on Riku's shoulder.

"Ummm,..."Riku didn't know if he was brave enough to tell his love for Sora."Ummm,...I...think that Sora has a nice,...er,...butt."

The guests looked at Riku as if he was a stranger.'Oh,no.I'm blushing,'Riku thought.

"Er,...time for the presents!"said Kairi.

Sora went through every present."So,...where's your gift to me,Riku?"asked Sora.

"You have to come in my house,"said Riku.

"Okay,"Sora followed Riku to his house.Riku felt butterflies in his stomach.As they reached the door,Riku thought of ways to explain his love to Sora.They reached his bedroom door.Riku opened it,and they went inside.

"So,where's my present?"asked Sora.

"Ummm,...it's not like a physical item,it's more of a confession."

"So,what are you confessing?...To me?"Sora sat down on Riku's bed.

"I...love you,"said Riku.

"You...love me?"asked Sora.

"Yes.Go ahead.Criticize me.Hate me even more than you already do,but I'll always love you."

"Hey.I love you,too."

"Then why did you hang around Kairi?"

"I was talking about you,"Sora said.

Riku put his arms around Sora.The next few moments between them was a blur.Riku kissed Sora,and Sora kissed Riku.During that time,Kairi came up to check on them.She nodded her head and went to her house.Sora slept with Riku that night.From then on,Sora stayed with Riku,and they lived happily with each other.
