Tidus spoke before he had time to think what he was doing or saying. Now he stood looking down at a confused Squall. He himself trying to figure out why he was offering his help.
Squall stared at Tidus for a few seconds before nodding slowly. He took a cloth that had been inside the box and handed it to Tidus. Tidus took the cloth and kneeled across from Squall neither of them saying anything. Tidus began taking some of the props out and cleaning them and setting them aside. He continued the process in silence, cleaning mindlessly, still lost in his own thoughts.
After a while he realized it was quiet too quiet, Squall hadn't spoken at all. He looked up and was startled to find Squall staring right at him with an intense look. He was looking at Tidus as if he were a puzzle he couldn't figure out.
"Tidus I'm not using you"
Tidus was holding a small round mirror in his hand and stopped cleaning it. How did Squall know, how he felt? As if reading his mind Squall answered him.
"Sora told me"
Tidus almost rolled his eyes, that was Sora for you. The one who always wanted things to be okay. The one who couldn't stand it when people were angry with each other. For the past week Sora had wanted him to talk to Squall to make things clear between them, Tidus however had refused.
Sora had been upset but what he didn't know was that Tidus had already come to his senses. He had realized how foolish he was being, Squall was not using him, he knew it, in the short time he had known Squall he knew the other was not one to play with someone's feelings that way. Squall was just too honest.
Having figured that out, it would have seemed logical to talk to Squall, but Tidus felt stupid for thinking that of Squall and felt embarrassed talking to him.
"Tidus I want you to understand that when I kissed you it wasn't because I was trying to forget Cloud or "
"I know"
Tidus said not really wanting Squall to continue to explain something he already understood. He understood Squall wasn't using him, and maybe that was what kept him from speaking to Squall. In his mind if Squall wasn't using him that meant Squall actually liked him, there was no doubt. Squall had been the one to initiate the kiss, Squall had made the first move. Squall liked him. And for some reason knowing Squall liked him made him feel strange. Not the gross type of strange but the nervously exited strange. Nervous because to the best of his knowledge he had never had anyone who liked him that way ever.
"You know?"
Squall asked staring at Tidus. Tidsu nodded looking down at his hands, he set the mirror aside looking back up at Squall an embarrassed smiled on his lips.
"I guess I was just being stupid, but I had a good reason. I mean it's not everyday I get kissed by a guy who just broke up with his boyfriend. So I guess I just couldn't help but think you had ulterior motives. Sorry"
Squall blinked. Well that had been easy he was expecting a full on verbal argument with Tidus shouting at him and he trying to explain he wasn't a bad guy. Things had turned out much, much easier, than he had first anticipated not that he was complaining Tidus was no longer angry with him and that was what mattered
"What made you change your mind?"
Tiuds wasn't looking at Squall but rather across the theater staring at nothing in particular. He shrugged focusing his eyes back to Squall, his expression completely serious.
"You don't strike me as a person who would do something like that"
Squall was startled by the confession, he was flattered to say the least. He was glad Tidus knew that about him and without actually knowing him much. Squall smiled looking at Tidus, whose bangs had fallen over his eyes somewhat and he wanted to reach over and push the hair back and run his hands over his smooth skin, he pushed those thoughts aside. He had to give things time, though he didn't regret the kiss, it had been rushed, Tidus was no longer angry with him, but that didn't mean he wanted a repeat performance, he had to let things play out for now. He looked straight at Tidus and spoke.
"I'm wouldn't, I'm sorry you even thought that. Can we forget about it than. Are we okay?"
Tidus smiled and nodded.
"Good. I wanted to talk to you today, but I guess I got a little sidetracked, but I'm glad you stay to talk to me"
Tidus smiled again and shook his head.
"Actually though I'm glad we solved that problem that's not why I came here"
"Than why?"
"To help you"
It was true his only intention had been to help Squall, but the other had brought up the whole kissing him deal.
"Just to help me?"
Squall asked still confused. Tidus nodded and sighed, he wasn't sure how Squall would take what he was about to say but he hoped his idea wouldn't leave them on non speaking terms once again..
"Well honestly Squall you need the help"
Squall frowned, and before he could protest Tidus continued.
"To you it might seem like you're alone and you have to do everything on your own. When in fact it isn't so, you have friends who would be more than happy to help you"
Help? Tidus thought he needed help? Squall frowned in concentration. He had not neglected one of his duties for another, he had been equally consistent spending the same amount of time with his tasks, but Tidus thought otherwise. Did Tidus think he was not doing a well enough job? Was he in fact not doing good enough?
"I don't need help. I can handle thing just fine"
He stated rather stubbornly, pinning Tidus with a glare challenging him to disagree, Tidus did not. Instead he sighed in defeat but not quite giving up yet, he knew Squall wouldn't accept any help.
"Of course for now. How long will you be able to keep it up though? Yuffie told me you guys were behind schedule, and added she had no doubt you could pull everything together, though you wouldn't be so behind if you let some of the responsibilities off yourself."
Squall had put the cloth he had been cleaning the crops with back in the box and was currently crossing his arms looking at the boy across from him. Tidus tried not to fidget, Squall was quiet and he had no idea what he was thinking.
"She told you that?"
Squall said slowly in a silent monotone whisper, masking his emotions. Tidus nodded, Squall looked away. Tidus bit his lip and got up on his knees pushing the box of props aside and move towards Squall taking his face in his hand making Squall face him. Squall was surprised but didn't flinch away from the touch.
"No one is saying you can't handle things on your own perfectly well, but you don't have to. Look around you Squall open your eyes see that your not alone, so stop acting like you are."
Squall blinked and stared at Tidus as if he were a ghost as those words sent him tumbling down the hall of memories he had worked so hard to forget and bury deep inside his hear. A buried door opened revealing painful memories he thought long forgotten.
~Flashback~
A summer day, a bright day, the sun shinning down on the playground making the children there even more hot as they played around laughing with out a care in the world, just like children were meant to be, carefree. Play enjoy life and laugh with their friends.
The sun shone down making the lone boy on swings look down at the ground. He swung slowly with no enthusiasm with out happiness, he just sat looking up once in awhile at the other children in the playground.
He watched a group of kids his age starting a new game, they were huddle in a circle making up rules excitedly. A girl stepped away from the circle and looked around, she spotted the boy on the swings and ran towards him.
Her laughter reached him before she did, she stopped a few feet away from him and smiled. The boy looked at the girl with long raven hair and dark eyes and very pale skin and waited for her to speak. He noticed how her cheeks were stained with a rosy blush not only caused by the sun but also from running around.
The boy stayed quiet, the girl smiled and clasped her hands behind her back and leaned forward a bit.
"Hi Squall do you want to play with us?"
Squall blinked and stared at the girl for a few seconds. He closed his eyes and shook his head, she stopped smiling and her small shoulder drooped in obvious disappointment.
"Oh"
"Hey Rinoa come on we're starting!"
Squall looked over at the group waiting for Rinoa, he looked at the boy who had called Rinoa he was jumping up and down excitedly ready to start their game.
"Okay Zell I'm coming. Bye Squall"
She said and ran back to her friends. Squall sighed and watched as the others played. Suddenly he felt the sun no longer shinning down on him as a shadow fell over him and he felt hands resting on his shoulders. He turned his head slightly and looked up behind him to see his sister he smiled up at her. She was not looking at him but at the kids playing a few yards from where she and her brother were and a sad look crossed her features.
"Hi sis"
A faint smiled graced her lips as she tore her gaze from the children to look down at her brother.
"Why don't you play with them?"
Squall shrugged looking down at his dangling feet, noticing he was not tall enough to reach the ground. He shifted a bit and craned his head up to look at his sister with a bright smile.
"Who wants to play with them when I can play with you?"
Squall frowned, normally Ellone would be smiling warmly and pushing him on the swing by now, but she wasn't. She looked serious as if she was thinking about something important.
"Don't you want to play with me?"
Squall asked in a small voice. Ellone looked slowly at her little brother and fought to hold back tears. She gave him a small smile and slowly moved from behind Squall to kneel in front of him.
"Of course I do, but you know it's okay to want to play with others kids right?
Squall nodded. Though he really didn't understand why she was telling him those things, he already knew Ellone liked to spend time with her friends and that never bothered him.
"Squall you know you're not alone"
"Of course not sis I have you."
Her lower lip threatened to start trembling but she kept her smile.
"Yeah you do have me. Listen Squall I'm going to tell you something I know it'll sound strange but one day it will make sense"
Squall nodded and Ellone looked deep into his eyes making sure she had his full attention. She had to tell him let him know things would be okay.
"You have me, but even if you didn't look around. Those are your friends"
She said shifting her body to unblock the view of the playground before them. She motion with one hands across the playground and Squall followed her movement and took in his surroundings.
All his school friends were there, Rinoa was playing with Zell and Seifer and another much smaller girl he didn't recognize. Yes those were his friends and he knew he could play with them whenever he wanted, he knew that. Why was Ellone telling him something he already knew?
Squall continued scanning the playground his gaze landing on the sand box where a spiky brunette haired boy tripped over a blond kid's sand castle and started crying. A silver haired boy quickly ran over and scowled at the blond as if it were his fault. Squall smiled at the scene.
"'Llone I know those are my friends"
"And you can be with them whenever you want"
He nodded and she gave him another smile.
"See Squall you'll never be alone, all you have to do is open your eyes and look around. You're never alone don't ever think that you are."
Squall cocked his head to the side and nodded. He didn't know why Ellone was telling him these things but he agreed non the less. He knew he had friends he could play with, but he had always favored the company of his sister. She just always understood him so well, no one could ever replace her.
"Will you push me 'Llone?"
Smiling she nodded kissing the top of his head once she had stoop up. Again she moved behind her little brother and began pushing him. Farther, harder, and higher Squall went. He laughed enjoying the wind blowing through his hair and face, feeling almost airborne.
Squall swung happily not a care in the world in his mind just utter joy, just like a child was meant to be happy. Among his happiness and laughter he never noticed the silent tears running down his sisters face, as she looked on wondering how long she would be able to keep the truth form him.
~End Flashback~
Squall shot up from the floor startling Tidus he was panting and he felt warm tears stinging his eyes. Those memories that day with Ellone it was too hard.
"I... I have to go"
He said in a rushed whispered and quickly turned on his heel and walked as fast as he could with out running out of the theater.
Tidus sat dumbfounded on the floor of the stage looking at were Squall had been sitting.
"Oh great. Way to go Tidus"
Riku sat in his room at his desk smiling from ear to ear wiggling his fingers in front of his face. He had finally gotten his arm cast off and to say he was happy would have been an understatement. He reached for a pencil and began his homework, he sighed.
"I missed you"
He said talking to his right hand, he was not a lefty and was very happy to have use of his right hand again. Homework had been a pain to do or try to do, but now he could use his right hand, though he wasn't overly thrilled about doing homework. There was a knock on his door.
"It's open"
He said with out looking up from his papers.
"Riku?"
Riku turned to see his father in his room. Riku smiled and answered.
"Hey Dad. What's up?"
"How's your arm?"
Riku looked at his arm and back at his father.
"Arms good Dad"
He saidd nodding his head. Riku's Dad smiled and watched how Riku's long hair moved with his nodding falling carelessly in his face. He sighed running a hand through his own short hair and remembered how he had always wanted to let his hair grow when he had been younger. Hi father however had not allowed him to do so nor had he allowed his older brother either. Their father always made sure they always kept a 'proper' look hair cut neatly, clothing always tucked and pressed. He hated how controlling his parents had been, that was why he allowed Riku so much liberty. That however was there and than he shook the memories out of his head and focused back on Riku.
"Good to hear. Now you haven't forgotten about tomorrow have you?
Riku cocked his head strands of silver cascading to the side as he did so.
"What's tomorrow?"
His father chuckled lightly, shaking his head.
"The race track"
Riku smiled and nodded.
"Oh right of course not"
He said hoping he sounded enthusiastic. His Dad bought it.
"Umm what time are we leaving?"
His Dad seemed to be thinking the question over, calculating in his head what the best time of departure would be.
"Nine earlier if possible. Don't worry I'll be sure to wake you up"
Riku nodded keeping his smile until his had exited his room and closed the door. Riku turned back to his desk and slumped forward hitting his head in the process.
"Ow. Nine o'clock on a Saturday"
He groaned picking his head up from the desk and slumping down again repeatedly while mumbling.
"Why"
Lifting his head..
"Me?"
Slumping forward.
"Why"
Lifting his head.
"Me?"
Slumping forward this time staying there. He sighed lifting his head folding his hands in front of him and resting his chin on top his folded hands. He couldn't refuse to go. Going to the horse tracks was pretty much a tradition, something they had done together since Riku had been three. Riku didn't have the heart to tell his father he had grown out of it.
Standing up he checked his clock which told him it was almost eight thirty he smiled and wondered if Sora was home yet. He had gotten out of school early to get his arm cast off, so hadn't seen Sora at all except in the morning. Pushing the thoughts of the race track out his head he moved to the window and for the first time in the past six week he was able to cross the tree.
It would be getting much colder soon, and they would no longer be able to keep the windows open.. Instead they would have to call each other before they went over so the other could open the widow and could climb in. Sometimes though when it got too cold they couldn't climb the tree due to the slippery with ice branches. That time was not there yet and so Riku crossed the distance between his room and Sora's.
He hopped inside Sora's room and scanned the room quickly spotting Sora who was in front of his walk-in close, wearing nothing but a towel around his waist obviously just having stepped out of the shower since his hair was still quite wet and dripping water.
Hearing someone enter his room Sora turned his face back and smiled at Riku.
"Hey you"
Sora greeted him than noticed something missing and his smiled widen. He turned fully to face Riku.
"You got your arm cast off"
He stated. Riku smiled and sat on Sora's bed.
"Yep"
"That's great"
Sora said his voice a little muffled since he had turned back to his closet. He was contemplating what to wear. His pj's would be the most logical since he wasn't planning on going out.
While Sora contemplated, Riku stared at him watching mesmerized as little trickles of water from Sora's hair made their way down Sora's neck. Some dropping on to his bare shoulder from the tips of his spiky hair and rolling tantalizingly slow towards his chest or back. Just begging to be licked and Riku did just that.
Standing up from the bed he walked behind Sora and wrapped his arms around Sora's waist leaning down licking a small drop of water on Sora's shoulder. Inhaling the soapy clean sent of Sora's cool damp skin.
Sora was startled but just as quickly shut his eyes letting the sensation of Riku's hot tongue course through him. He leaned his head back resting it on Riku's shoulder.
"Riku"
He whispered as Riku continued his exploration of Sora's body. He was lost in Sora he had imagined before what it would be like to touch him like he was at the moment but had never picture it would be so maidenly addictive. He moved form Sora's shoulder to his neck. His favorite spot. He felt Sora lean completely into him and he smiled.
While his mouth was busy with Sora's neck his hands moved up from Sora's waist to his abdomen and up his chest. He noticed Sora's breathing come more rapid with every touch of his hands. Sora swallowed and opened his eyes turning to face Riku. He smiled and wrapped his arms around Riku's neck.
"You taste good"
Riku said with a smile of his own. Sora didn't reply but instead brought his lips to meet Riku's. Riku wrapped his arms around Sora's waist, feeling himself become aroused by the kiss. Or perhaps it was due to the fact that Sora was very naked under that towel and currently pressed very closely to him Riku didn't know why nor did he care.
Sora turn them a little to the right and began walking backwards taking Riku with him and stopped when he felt the edge of his bed hit against the back of his legs. He smirked into the kiss and fell back dragging Riku on top of him.
Riku looked down at Sora and smiled briefly checking quickly for any signs of uncertainty in Sora's eyes seeing none. He delved back down to kiss Sora. Sora's hands began roaming Riku's upper body his fingers playing with the hem of Riku's shirt before slipping inside the garment, making contact with the hot skin beneath. He moaned into the kiss and than groaned in frustration while trying to tug Riku's shirt up.
Riku chuckled at Sora's antics and straighten up taking the evil shirt off tossing it on the floor.
"Better?"
Sora smirked and pulled Riku down again.
"Much"
He said now being free to run his hands over Riku's chest. Riku groaned feeling one of Sora's roaming hands find and lightly pinch one of nipples. Sora gave him a smirk and started kissing Riku's neck.
Riku had his eyes closed enjoying everything Sora was doing to him. Suddenly his eyes snapped opened as a rather annoying thought popped into his head. Very reluctantly he pushed himself from Sora so that he was looking down at him holding himself up wiht his arms. Sora gave him a confused stare.
"Sora maybe this isn't such a good idea."
Sora blinked and a hurt look crossed his face before he looked away nodding slowly. Riku smiled and kissed his cheek moving his head to whisper in his ear.
"It's not that I don't want you, but your parents are home"
Sora closed his eyes Riku's voice sending shivers down his spine making it difficult for him to understand what the sliver haired boy had just said. Slowly he nodded his head and smiled. Riku moved to again look down at Sora and brush a strand of hair away from his face. Sora bit his lip and gave his a timid smile.
"Then"
He whispered wrapping his arms around Riku's neck and pulled him down almost close enough to kiss him but not quite. Just letting his breath brush Riku's lightly. He continued his voice dropping even more.
"We should be really, really quiet"
"Whaa!"
Riku gasped opened mouth wide eyed at what Sora had just said. Sora burst out laughing at Riku's expression. After a few seconds he stopped. He gave Riku a serious face seeing as the other still looked a bit taken a back by his comment.
"I'm kidding. You're right though we should stop"
Sora knew the probability of his parents walking in on them while they were occupied was very unlikely. Unfortunately he had never really trusted the theory of probability much it could just as easily go against him and he didn't want to risk getting caught by his parents while doing rather interesting things with Riku.
Riku nodded agreeing with Sora with a sigh be began to pull away from Sora only to feel the other boy not release the grip on his neck. He looked down at Sora who gave him a pleading look.
"Sora?"
Sora smiled and a blushed.
"Lie with me for a bit?"
Riku smiled and gave Sora a chaste kiss on the lips before nodding. Sora released the hold on his neck and Riku moved to lie on his side facing Sora. Sora moved closer to Riku and smiled feeling Riku's arm wrap around his waist pulling him closer. They stayed like that for a while not saying anything not moving. Being completely content with just holing each other.
Riku was idly moving his finger tips in soothing circular motion on the small of Sora's back. He looked down at Sora who had his forehead on his chest and felt his heart melt., letting a strange feeling of completeness and protectiveness overwhelm him. Feelings so stronger feelings he had never felt for anyone other than Sora. Such strong emotions he felt like bursting and chocking on them. Was that what love really was? Feeling as if for Sora he could do anything would do anything, would protect him from everyone and everything. Would go to any lengths just to see him happy.
Those feeling were extremely overwhelming and for the first time Riku felt fear, he feared those feeling. Above all he feared Sora not sharing the same intensity of the feelings he felt for him. Sora shifted and looked up at Riku through sleepy eyes and moved one hand up to trace Riku's jaw bone and then his lips. Sora smiled and kissed Riku's closed lips and pulled away.
"I love you"
Riku closed his eyes and let the words sink in and everything was okay. Sora always knew how to make everything alright and he didn't even know there was anything wrong. That was his Sora. He opened his eyes to look straight into deep blue ones.
"Love you too"
Sora grinned and pushed off the bed.
"I'll be back I'm gonna go change"
He said before Riku could question him. Sora got off the bed holding his towel close with one hand and moving to his closet to retrieve his pajama bottoms and went into the bathroom.
Riku lay on his back his hands tucked behind his head waiting for Sora to come out of the bathroom. He wonder idly if perhaps he should retrieve his discarded shirt but that would require movement and he was quite comfortable where he was. A few minutes later Sora stepped out of the bathroom and Riku shifted to his side again and watched Sora walk into the room with only his red cotton pajama bottoms. Riku chuckled watching Sora rubbing his hair furiously with a towel attempting to dry his hair. When he was done his hair was sticking out everywhere.
Sora dropped the towel on the floor and pouted as Riku kept laughing at him. He crossed his arm and gave Riku an evil smirk before running to the bed and jumping down on it. He laughed as he landed somewhat on Riku knocking the wind out of him.
"Evil"
Riku mumbled before he felt Sora spooning with him rather than face him. He just smiled and wrapped his arms around Sora's waist pulling him close again inhaling the soapy clean sent from Sora's hair.
Sora sighed feeling Riku completely relaxed as he pulled him closer. Sora grabbed Riku's hand looked mindlessly at the fingers. Earlier he had felt Riku tense not so much in his body language but there was just something almost like a small tug in his chest telling him there was something wrong. When he had looked at Riku he saw something in Riku's eyes he wasn't sure what, it had felt like uncertainty. He wasn't sure why, all he knew was he wanted to fix it. Sora didn't know what Riku was feeling uncertain of, but whatever it was Sora wanted him to feel certain of something, that he loved him. After he had said that Riku had seemed to relax again.
"Aren't you going to brush your hair?"
Riku's voice broke his thoughts and Sora smiled shaking his head. Taking Riku's hand and intertwining their fingers feeling so safe with Riku's lager hand holding his smaller one. Riku must have felt the same as he gave Sora's hand a soft squeeze.
"Hey! Do you want to come with me to rehearsals?"
Riku frowned.
"But tomorrow's Saturday"
Sora scoffed moving back more enjoying the warm feel of Riku's warm chest against his back, glad Riku hadn't decided to put his shirt back on.
"Yeah well you know Squall's a tyrant. So come with me?"
Riku bit gently on Sora's ear feeling Sora shiver. With a smirk he realesed the ear thinking the question over.
"What time?"
"According to Squall to prove he isn't' a complete tyrant he said we could go in early so we could enjoy the rest of our afternoon"
Riku nodded and frowned remembering he had already made plans with his father. He sighed.
"Sorry Rah can't."
Sora frowned and let go of Riku's hand and turned to face him again coming to lie face to face.
"Why not?"
He asked trying very hard not to pout. No he wouldn't pout he would give Riku his puppy eyes. Riku rolled his eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. It's not my fault. Dad has already planned my Saturday morning"
"Oh?"
Sora said dropping the pout and the puppy eyes.
"Where are you going?"
"The race track"
Riku said with out enthusiasm. Sora laughed at seeing Riku face but stifled his laughter when Riku glared at him.
"Sorry. Serves you right though, one of these days you're going to have to tell him you don't like watching little men on top of horses running in circles while people place bet on the out come."
Riku scoffed and ruffled Sora's hair even more. Sora glared and tried to get away from Riku only to feel Riku's strong grip on his waist. Sora sighed and gave up.
"Look who's talking. Did you finally tell you parents about us?"
Sora nodded. Riku looked at Sora expectantly waiting for the boy to continue. Sora rolled his eyes and sighed.
"My mom said oh honey that's great, though I think she said that because they know you and they trust you and my Dad..."
Sora paused and Riku saw a lovely blush tinting his cheeks as he looked away. Riku's curiosity however had been peeved and he wanted to know what Sora's Dad had said to make Sora blush like that.
"What did he say?"
Sora shook his head. Riku was having non of that and he started tickling Sora mercilessly.
"Tell me"
Sora managed to choke out an okay as he squirmed around trying to get away form Riku's hands. Riku stopped and waited for Sora to catch his breath when he did he looked annoyed.
"He said the condoms are in the last drawer of our bathroom cabinet"
He mumbled looking away form Riku. Riku blinked once, twice before he started laughing just picturing Sora's face as his Dad made that comment it must have been priceless.
"My Mom wasn't too happy about that though"
Sora shrugged and Riku managed to stop laughing.
"Sorry. So when do you end rehearsals"
Again Sora shrugged and moved back to his original position spooning with Riku intertwining their fingers once again.
"I'm not sure maybe eleven if we're lucky"
He grunted. Riku smirked.
"Okay I'll call when I get back from the race track. I'll see if I can get Dad to leave early"
Sora nodded. After that they were quiet again Sora felt his eyes get heavy and with a sense of security brought on by Riku's mere presence he fell a sleep. Riku held Sora close and after a few minutes noticed Sora's breathing become more deep and steady and the grip Sora had on his hand loosen.
"Sora?'
He whispered into the other's ear. Sora did not respond he had fallen asleep. Riku smiled and held Sora a bit longer before getting up carefully so as to not wake the sleeping boy. He moved Sora's sheets down and leaned down on the bed scooping Sora in his arms to set him underneath the covers the right way since they had been lying across the bed.
He stood up and Sora stirred a bit in his arms. Riku stood still looking down at the angel in his arms he smiled and laid him down gently on the bed pulling the covers up to his chin. Sora frowned in his sleep and shifted to his side facing Riku with one hand folded beneath him. Riku watched amused as Sora moved unconsciously making himself more comfortable, he watched as Sora 's hand moved beneath his pillow and pulled out a shirt and hugged it close to him.
"Riku"
He mumbled sighed a content smiled playing lazily across his lips. Riku blinked a couple of times trying to register what was happening as he recognize that shirt as one of his own. He smiled remembering when he had let Sora borrow said shirt. He felt a strange tingle in his stomach knowing Sora felt safe sleeping with something belonging to him. He leaned down and kissed Sora's nose.
He meant to stand up he really did, but at the moment he was captivated by how innocent Sora looked. He wonder what it would feel like to wake up to Sora's innocent face to watch his sleepy eyes open slowly as his vision focused on him. Riku stood up, maybe one day he would know for now he was happy to know what Sora looked like sleeping hugging his shirt.
"Night Sora"
He said and made his way back to his room after turning off the lights in Sora's room.
Drifting from sleep and consciousnesses was a feeling Riku truly hated. He hated that feeling of being neither a sleep nor awake. His eyes were closed and he felt tired but he could hear everything around him. His mind kept telling him to get up that he had somewhere to be but sleep was not letting focus and where exactly he needed to be.
"Riku"
A soft whispered near his ear. Riku groaned and turned to his other side wanting the voice to go away. He was trying to remember where he was suppose to go. After a few minutes the voice spoke again.
"Riku"
He groaned again and shifted back to his other side, he wanted the voice to leave so he could think. Silence followed and he thought the voice had left him to think. He was wrong.
"Riku"
This time more persistent and closer to his face and he felt a weight settle down on his bed to his side. Instead of moving away form the voice this time he swatted blindly the movement causing his hair to somehow fall on his face tickling his nose.
"Gah!"
He groaned trying to get his hair out of his face. There was a low chuckle someone obviously amused by his dazed behavior. He kept pushing his hair back only it didn't stay back it kept falling back on his face and it was annoying him.
Slowly his eyes started opening everything still somewhat dark so he guessed it was still early. He took a hold of his hair and held it back with his hand to keep it away from his face instead of trying to push it aside, so he could see, his eyes kept fluttering open and he slowly started to focus on the person in his room.
Piercing blue eyes was the first thing his mind register his father eyes, but what was that around his face. Riku slowly started to notice silver strands of hair cascading down making a curtain around him. He turned his face to the side that's when he noticed the hair in his hand which had been tickling his face was not his own but it belong to his father but his father's hair was short. His eyes snapped open as realization hit like a bucket of cold water and he stared back at the person above him.
"SEPHIROTH!"
Cardel: (cracking knuckles) It feels so good to be back. So how was that.
Demak: Yay Sephy made it in.
Jin: I've decided I'll no longer say anything since you guys pay no attention to me whatsoever .
Cardel: Aww wittle Jin-kun feeling neglected come here.
Jin: Don't even think about it and don't call me that.
Cardel: Okay tell ya what lets go write an angty fic then.

Demak: What about me.
Jin: What about you. Your happy lovey-dovey goo is all over.
Demak: You say that like it's a bad thing.
Cardel: Okay you two stop that.
Demak: No Jin's always mad at me I think it's just 'cause I'm a girl ( pouts)
Jin: o.0 Actually your a fairy
Cardel: I don't think that's the point Jin-kun and Demak don't worry about Jin he's always moody that's why he's so good with the angst.
Demak: (smiling evily at Jin) hmm I have an Idea ( walks off)
Jin: Finally.
Cardel: I have a bad feeling about this. Well review if you still like this fic. Next chapter much better I think we even get to explain why Ellone was crying. Oh and for those of you who don't know Ellone, Rinoa, Seifer and Zell are all form FFVIII
Jin:Yeah sometimes she assumes too much meaning she assumes you've all play all the Final Fantasy games (shrugs)
Cardel Yeah Sorry ^_^ about that Review. Ja-ne (goes off to find Demak)
