Author Notes: Minor Riku/Sora. That is all.

"Is it even worth it anymore?" Riku questioned more to himself than the brunette beside him.
The beach was quiet that night, and in two nights, Kairi, Sora, and himself, would be setting sail to a new world.
No one believed they could do it, that they could reach a new world. They were do closed minded, believing everything their parents told them, never once thinking outside the box. The result of this was the constant taunting and teasing of himself and his friends.
But he would show them.
They would find the new world, and they could leave everyone that had doubted them behind.
"I don't know. Do you really think we can find another world, Riku?"
The silver haired boy shrugged, staring out at the setting horizon. Pinks, oranges, and purples were strewn beautifully across the slowly blackening sky, and suddenly, things didn't seem so bad. Sunsets, something about them brought out a side in him that one rarely sees, like it's locked up and kept in a bottle to save for special occasions, and the brunette appreciated that he let him see it nearly every night.
"Well, even if we don't find another world, it'd still be worth it." Sora continued. Riku looked at him sceptically, meeting his blue eyes with his own emerald orbs.
"Because you and I'd still be together." the other replied simply, still looking him in the eyes. Before Riku could think, he leaned over and kissed the boy, who to his surprise kissed back.
"Thanks, Sora." he said as they pulled away. The beautiful boy nodded.
The sunset had never seemed anymore beautiful than it did that night.
