Well, guys, this is the end.

I guessed right about the length! I'm kinda sad this is it! I really did enjoy writing about Prince Sora. My sora!muse enjoyed it too.

I would try and personailize this, but I really don't want to leave ANYONE out. Thank you all for your patience, wonderful reviews and awe inspiraing devotion. I hope you have enjoyed this story as much as I have writing it. THANK YOU and Share this story with all your friends if you think they will like it!

The thought occured to me about a sequel, but I think I will cross that bridge when I come to it, because a would need a plot and the plot for this one story was AWFULLY time consuming. Lets see what you think!

For the last time, I don't own Kingdom Hearts.

Epilogue

"Stop messing with that zipper," said Sora, quietly "and I'm not talking about the one on your jacket either."

Riku fiddled with the zippers on the collar and pants of his black guard's uniform, trying to pull it off.

"Shut up" whispered Riku angrily, "This uniform is stuffy…I hate it…"

"Do you need some help with it then?" Sora teased, a playful grin coming to his face.

"I said shut up you annoying…"

Sora looked at him in mock offense. "How dare you speak to me that way!"

The two were standing at the closed doors of the throne room, alone, Riku trying to get out of his uniform. Sora stood patiently and waited for him to give up. Sora was in dark blue and sliver, a long red cape coming from his shoulders, his Keyblade attached at his side.

"If you think that's stuffy, I should let you wear my clothes…." Sora said, as Riku threw his hands up in defeat. Riku grinned, rising to the jibe.

"Oh yea? Well, of course they would be stuffy; it would be way too tight…" Riku said, gaining a perfect Sora pout. The two remained silent, listening to the voices in the throne room.

"Sounds like it's packed…" Sora said nervously, "I can't believe so many people came to the coronation…."

Riku smiled, "Well, you are their prince...They love you…"

It had been a six months since the defeat of Ansem. The castle has been restored by Sora's magic, and the people that left or had been turned into heartless returned. Sora tried tirelessly to be with his people, giving those help whenever they needed it. Today was the coronation ceremony, wherein Sora would stop being the prince of Hallow Bastion and become the youngest king in the history of the Royal Family. Sora looked at him.

"You know Riku; I've been meaning to ask…Do you love me?"

Riku suddenly reached up for his collar again, feeling heat course from his body right up to his face. The silver haired boy hadn't mentioned the confession he had six months ago at all, trying to wrestle with the realization that he not only loved his best friend, but the prince of his home.

"Well…uh…"

Sora's blue eyes were staring up at him intensely, waiting for an answer. Riku gulped and placed a hand behind his head.

"Well?" Sora prodded, stepping closer to Riku.

God, I pick the worst times to get shy…

Sora smiled at him, warm and bright. "I do too."

Riku looked at him, his aqua eyes wide. "What?"

"I love you too." Sora said simply, turning his head to the door, a blush creeping up to his cheeks, "I….heard you….that day…I heard you say…That's truly what saved me…Asylia told me so before he finally merged with me…That you were fighting because you love me. I've always loved you, Riku…I was too scared to tell you…I thought—"

Riku pulled Sora to him, pressing his lips onto the smaller boys swiftly, amazed how quickly the prince responded. Riku slowly moved his lips with Sora's, feeling so complete for the first time in five years. Riku felt Sora's arms wrapped around his neck as the kiss intensified, passionate and content. Suddenly, a giggle interrupted them, the two breaking apart to see Kairi's head poking out from the throne room.

"You two getting ready, huh?" said the red head, making the boy's fully break apart and intense blushes creep up their faces. Kairi giggled.

"You ready, your highness?"

Sora looked up at Riku, seriously thinking for the first time that running away seemed to be a good idea. Riku's soft smile interrupted his thoughts, reassuring him. The brunette felt a hand curl into his, intertwining their fingers and giving his hand a tight squeeze.

"Yes…I'm ready…" Sora said, firmly, not feeling very ready for what was to come. When to two walked in, hand and hand, before the people and guests of Hallow Bastion.

I'm not going to face this alone…I'm going to face it with you…
