Author's Note:

I am just reposting this chapter now that it has been beta-read by my lovely beta Amai

I am so sorry this chapter took so long to come out, it was because I was stabbed with a watermelon and I needed time to recover…. Kidding, no I had a lot of trouble with this chapter, rewriting it and just deciding what to do with the characters. Trust me, I know how annoying it is waiting so long for updates but I will try to come out with chapters faster, but I can't promise anything.

I am glad every one enjoyed the last chapter and I am glad you have reviewed. Don't forget that I am glad to receive your thoughts on the story and ideas you may have that you wish to share. Also, if anyone is feeling like drawing Fan Art I would love you forever… and do anything you want me to

This is the only story I am working on right now and it will be coming to a end soon… not exactly sure how many more chapters, but this is just a heads up – this story won't last for ever.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts.

Claimer (?): I do own my little made up character (Lee) but I don't care if you steal him.

Warnings: A lot of groping in this chapter . Nothing too bad though.


LAST TIME:

Shifting slightly in front of the mirror, Sora turned his head to look at Riku. "I don't know…" he stated slowly, lightly chewing his lip.

Sora seemed so close... Riku could almost feel the pressue on Sora's lip from his teeth on his own. "I do, you look good," he whispered softly. If he just leaned forward... he could...

NOW:

Sora just stared at Riku a moment longer before turning his head back to face the mirror. "If you say so..." There was a moment's silence before Sora moved away from the mirror to go sit down on the bed. "So... uh where are we going tonight?"

That had been very odd... Riku looked as if he was about to fall on him and Sora could have sworn Riku was going to start drooling or something. It had really freaked him out.

Riku seemed to snap out of his daze as he shook his head, looking around slightly confused. "Oh... um, I decided to take you to my favorite place, Cosmos," he replied slowly, his eyes focusing on Sora. God, he needed to keep himself under control.

"Ok... when are we going to leave?" Sora asked, focusing his eyes on the floor.

"We can leave now if you want. It will take us a little while to get down there."

Sora looked up and nodded at his best friend. "Can I get a coat though, I think I might freeze to death in this... and also I need to stick my money and ID somewhere" he added, moving over to his pile of clothes and pulling the fore mentioned items.

"Yeah, sure," Riku replied simply, "I will get you one downstairs, let's go."

Walking out of the room a little hesitantly, Riku jumped down the stairs, trying to get any and all dirty thoughts about Sora out of his head. It was obvious Sora didn't want anything to do with him, at least in a sexual way, and he was Sora! He couldn't fool around with his best friend, it was just wrong... So, so wrong.

Sora followed after Riku, completely unaware of the turmoil he was causing his best friend.

Reaching the vestibule, Riku reached into the closet and pulled out a leather jacket. Turning he handed it to Sora. "Here, that should go well..."

"But it is leather, Riku. Leather doesn't do anything to keep me warm..." Sora pouted. He could have sworn Riku was actually trying to make him sick!

"But it looks good. I am not going to stick you in an Eskimo coat; you have to look good," the silver haired boy explained.

"Fine... but I don't get why I have to look so 'good'..." Sora mumbled as he slid the jacket over his arms and pocketed his money and ID.

"This place is a little bit more picky with who they let in, you have to look good to get in... and anyways, if you look good maybe you can find someone to dance with..." Riku replied, though the last bit of his sentence was said a bit reluctantly. He couldn't imagine some of the people at Cosmos even coming near Sora... they would destroy any innocence the young spiky-haired boy had.

Picking out his own coat, Riku slid it on as well before grabbing the keys off the key hook. "We are going!" he called out to his mother.

There was a faint reply, but neither boy heard it as they were already out the door and getting into the family's SUV.

Climbing into the passenger's seat Sora couldn't help but groan, the pants he was wearing slid down quite far when he sat. Turning to Riku who was currently starting the car, Sora glared.

"Riku I need to change!" he exclaimed. Riku looked at his friend curiously, wondering why. "These pants are too low!" he added, holding up the back of his pants, trying to keep them up.

"Oh calm down, you won't be sitting much in the club anyhow."

With that Riku just started the car, locked the doors and pulled out of the driveway.

Sora huffed indignantly as he buckled his seat belt and slouched back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest. He would have been much more content in the clothes he had picked out.

The entire drive down to the club was in almost complete silence, the only sounds were of Riku laughing at Sora as he continued to sulk in his seat.

Pulling into the parking lot around the back of the club Riku turned off the car and turned in his seat to face Sora. "Sora," he sighed softly, "if you really don't want to go in there wearing that, I can take you home and we can go out another night and you can wear whatever you want." Throughout the whole ride Riku wondered if perhaps he was being too insistent and overbearing with what Sora wore.

Sighing as well, Sora shook his head. "No, it is fine Riku... I trust you and I am sure you picked out the best clothes for me, even if they will cause me to get pneumonia."

"We won't be outside long, I promise. I know the bouncers here so we can skip waiting in line," Riku explained as he unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door.

As soon as Sora was out of the car he could already hear the loud, pulsing music emanating from the building clearly. He was fairly sure tonight would be the last night he had his hearing.

Riku led him around the building talking to him the entire way, but Sora wasn't paying attention. He was busy taking everything in, the dozens of people waiting in line shivering, the flashing sign hanging on the front of the building, the blacked out windows, it was all so overwhelming.

He must have stopped walking because Riku gently tugged on the sleeve of the leather jacket trying to get him to continue moving. "We are almost there," he stated, already having to speak rather loudly.

They approached the front door of the club and Riku dragged him up to the very intimidating looking man standing in front of it. Riku stepped closer to the man and started talking to him. Sora couldn't hear a single word they said but saw the bigger man's eyes shift towards him before he nodded once. As Riku turned to look at his best friend, the older man stepped out of the way, letting them pass.

Sora followed Riku inside, glad he didn't have to deal with the hulk at the door and was immediately deafened by the thundering music.

It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the dimness and the constant flashes of light but as soon as they were, the images of bodies dancing closely together, an array of light dancing over their sweating skin, flooded his vision. Men danced with men, women danced with women, and a few couples consisted of a man and woman. The smell of sweat and alcohol overwhelmed Sora sense of smell and he felt dizzy for a moment.

Before he even had a chance to take everything in, Riku was pulling him into the club leading him towards a small area off to the side.

"Give me your coat," Riku whispered loudly next to Sora's ear so he could hear. Doing as he was told, Sora slid the leather jacket off his arms and handed it to Riku. Riku disappeared inside a small crowd that had formed in front of them.

Staying still, Sora started to panic, wondering where Riku had gone. Chewing his lower lip, his hands clasped in front of him, Sora tried to shrink down as small as he could, trying to seem invisible until Riku came back, though that didn't seem to work too well because as he looked around, he noticed quite a few pair of eyes on him. Just as he was about to bolt, feeling uncomfortable in this place, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Spinning around quickly, Sora was relieved to see Riku smiling at him, the coats gone.

"Where did you go?" Sora yelled, his lips together in a pout.

"I had to get rid of the coats, now let go get something to drink!" Riku replied, a wide grin on his face as he grabbed Sora's hand and began leading him through the throng of people towards the bar.

Sora had never been so close to that many people in his life, and he could have sworn he felt at least two people touch his ass...

"I'll order you something," Riku stated as he leaned in closer to Sora, talking next to his ear. Turning back around, Riku leaned onto the counter as he waited for on of the bartenders to move closer.

Sora meanwhile was still slightly dumbfounded and was still taking everything in around him. As he looked at the dance floor in the middle of the room he was surprised so many people were crammed into the small area. He saw tall people, short people, some people bulkier than others; there was a man with blue hair and a couple women with pink, it was all so weird... seeing all different types of people getting along so well.

A certain head caught his eye, a mess of blond spikes sticking out every which way. Squinting, Sora could have sworn it was Cloud, but no, it couldn't have been because that blond was making out with someone, someone with a long braid. Shaking his head, Sora almost laughed out loud, it was silly to think that that man was Cloud.

"Here you go, Sora!" Riku called out from beside him, thrusting a cup filled with an orange-yellow liquid into his chest.

Taking hold of the glass, Sora looked at it curiously. "What is it?"

"That doesn't matter, you wouldn't know what it is even if I told you," Riku replied with a laugh, his aquamarine eyes shinning happily. Moving to stand partially behind Sora, Riku slid his arm around his best friend's waist and rested his chin on his shoulder.

Not expecting that Sora jumped slightly, nearly choking on his drink.

"Whoa, Sora, it isn't that strong," Riku laughed, thinking it was the drink that had caught in Sora's throat.

"No..." Sora hissed out, still trying to breathe properly. "What are you doing?" he asked, his voice sounding confused and perhaps slightly afraid.

"Calm down," Riku sighed, "just making sure no unwanted people try to pick you up. Don't tell me you haven't seen all the guys checking you out?"

At that Sora's eyes drifted around the room. He definitely hadn't been oblivious to the looks, but he hoped they were more for Riku than himself. "Yeah... but..."

"Just relax and finish your drink so we can have some fun," Riku stated.

Sora nodded and began nursing his drink down, not actually minding the taste of it too much. Riku fell silent and just remained hugged close to his best friend, gently swaying to the music.

Finishing the drink rather quickly, Riku took the empty cup and left it on the bar for the bartender to get. Now rid of the cup, Riku moved from behind Sora and took his hand in his own. "Come on!" he called out as he began moving towards the sea of people on the dance floor.

At first Sora followed cautiously, trying his best to avoid touching the strangers that surrounded them, but then he realized it was a futile attempt. There were just so many people around him and no else seemed to mind brushing up against someone they didn't know, not even Riku. So, giving it up, Sora just began to join the flow of the dancing bodies around him. Warm bodies pressed up against his and he found he didn't mind it all that much, just like the drink. Maybe tonight would turn out to be a great night.

Riku stopped abruptly in the center of the mass of people, Sora nearly running into him, and turned to face the slightly flushed brown-haired male. Without a word, Riku began moving to the beat, his hips swaying perfectly to the rhythm. Sora just stared admiringly at his best friend, thinking only girls could move their hips in that way.

"Dance, Sora!" Riku called out when he realized the younger male was not dancing, just standing there.

Still Sora didn't move, instead he just flushed even more and looked towards the ground. He would have danced, if he knew how...

Riku stopped dancing and looked at Sora curiously. "What?"

Looking up, Sora giggled awkwardly. "I don't know how to dance," he admitted with another giggle.

"Oh," Riku replied simply, laughing as well. "Well, just go with the flow just sort of do what other people do."

Looking around the room, Sora looked at the other people dancing and decided he didn't want to copy what a lot of them were doing. Facing Riku again, and seeing him dancing again Sora wanted to do what he did, but found his hips just wouldn't start moving. Continuing to just stand there, Sora began to feel out of place.

Noticing that Sora still wasn't dancing, Riku stepped closer to his best friend. Putting his hands on Sora slim hips, his fingertips coming in contact with some bare skin, Riku began dancing again, his hands moving Sora hips in time with his own. He was expecting Sora to be stiff and to oppose his hands, but it was quite the opposite. Sora just seemed to need a push to get started but after that he was fine... better than fine actually. Riku watched as Sora's hips moved without any help from his hands and found he had to tear his eyes away from the enticing sight. Looking up at his best friend, Riku grinned at him before he continued dancing.

Sora's eyes drifted closed as he danced, just seeming to let his body move how ever it wanted, no matter how corny that sounded.

Riku watched Sora as he danced, there was something slightly different about the way the brown-haired boy danced, but it was perfect for him. He was definitely going to have to take Sora out more often.

Sora was unaware of just how much time had lapsed since they had begun dancing, having been lost in the moment, but after some time he couldn't help but notice that someone was standing behind him. Slowing his dancing, Sora turned around to find a man, well taller than him, smiling at him.

The man leaned forward and moved so his head was next to Sora's. "Wanna dance?" he asked in the same way Riku had been talking to him, right next to his ear.

Sora didn't know what to do... He wanted to say no, but he was rather intimidated. This guy was big and, judging from his slightly swaying and glazed eyes, a little drunk too.

"Sora, let's go get another drink," Riku spoke loudly, coming to his best friend's rescue. Slipping his arm around Sora's waist, Riku gave the other man a quick glare before leading Sora off the dance floor.

Sora was relieved when they moved away from the stranger, letting out a soft sigh.

"You know you can just say no," Riku stated as they left the group of people on the dance floor.

"Yeah... but... he was big!" Sora replied, lifting one hand up to show Riku how big the man was.

"I know but it wasn't like he wasn't going to take no for an answer, the guys in this club have been rejected many times before so don't worry about hurting their feelings," Riku replied with a laugh.

Sora just nodded, though he wasn't sure he could reject someone that easily... he just didn't think it a very nice thing to do to a complete stranger...

Riku led him back to the bar; it seemed more people had gathered around it, ordering drinks left right and center. Sora waited on the outskirts of the crowd of people as Riku moved in between people to order a drink.

He wasn't sure if he liked this crowded scene. Sure it was fun, but there were just so many people... so many drunk people, who had no common sense or decency.

A cold hand found its way to his back, and Sora instantly froze.

"Can I buy you a drink?" a deep voice asked, his words slightly slurred.

Turning to see who was touching him, Sora shied away from the stranger's hand. He was skinny, almost sickly so, and he had a shaggy beard covering half his face. "Um... My friend is already getting me one, thanks."

The man look slightly disappointed but left all the same. Letting out a soft sigh, Sora was glad he left so easily; he wouldn't have liked to deal with an angry drunkard.

Sora went back to waiting impatiently for Riku to return, looking around himself constantly so no one snuck up on him again. He let out a soft sigh as he saw a flash of silver hair and the familiar glint of aquamarine eyes.

"Here you go Sora," Riku yelled as he approached his friend, a drink held out in front of him for Sora.

Not even bothering to care what it was, Sora brought it to his lips and tried not to drink it too, too fast.

"Whoa, slow down, that isn't the last drink in this place," Riku laughed, sliding his arm around Sora's waist again.

Laughing softly, a slight blush coming to his cheeks as well, Sora lowered his glass and smiled sheepishly at his friend. Sora was beginning to feel comfortable in this position with Riku's arm around his waist, he felt safe.

"Some random guy touched me," Sora pouted after a couple of seconds, leaning slightly against Riku as he took a sip of his drink.

"What did he do?" Riku asked in reply, and Sora could have sworn Riku's grip on him tightened.

"He just put his hand on my back and asked me if I wanted a drink, but I said you were already getting me one, then he left," Sora recalled with a slight nod of his head.

Riku sighed and shook his head, "Next time you can come with me to get the drink, that way no one will bother you."

Sora nodded happily and finished off his drink, his pink tongue poking out to quickly lick his lips. Giving the glass to Riku he quickly got rid of it before focusing his attention back on Sora. "So, do you want to go dance again?"

"Um, yeah!" Sora replied after a short moment's silence.

Laughing, Riku followed behind Sora as he let the younger male drift into the crowd.

They soon found themselves back in the middle of the throng and this time Sora needed no assistance in starting his tempting dance. Keeping a firm hand on Sora's hip, Riku began to dance as well, though much closer to Sora now and with his eyes half closed as he watched Sora's body sway to the music.

He was having such indecent thoughts about his best friend that it scared him.

Taking in a deep breath, he forced his eyes closed and just tried to think of anything other than Sora. Well that didn't prove as hard as he thought it would since no sooner had he thought that did two arms wrap tightly around his waist.

The arms came around him from behind so he knew it couldn't have been Sora, also a slim body was pressed up against his back and his hand was still outstretched so he knew Sora hadn't moved. The body behind him followed his movements closely and two hands began exploring his chest and stomach. Hot lips found their way to his neck and he couldn't help but let out a groan. Slowly opening his eyes, Riku turned his head to face the lovely stranger pressed up against him.

Bright green eyes were staring up at him seductively. "Riku... I've missed you," the soft tenor voice spoke before placing another kiss on Riku's neck.

Ah, he recognized that voice, those eyes... he was one of his many partners, so to speak. "I missed you too, Lee," Riku replied, a smile coming to his lips. Lee could definitely provide a released for all his nasty thoughts.

"Dance with me Riku," the shorter green-eyed male stated softly.

Riku couldn't help a small laugh, "We are dancing aren't we?" Instead of replying, Lee just looked at something in front of them. Following his gaze, Riku's eyes met Sora's curious eyes. Sora had stopped dancing as soon as he heard Riku moan and was now watching the pair, slightly confused. "Ah, Sora, this is Lee, a friend of mine."

Sora just nodded and sent Lee a small smile.

"Would you mind if we danced together for a while?" he asked, though he wasn't sure why he did it wasn't like he was really dancing with Sora before.

Sora looked nervous but nodded. "Sure, I... uh need to go to the bathroom anyways..." he replied, adding the last part in quickly.

Lee didn't need any more of an invitation and slid around Riku so they were now facing one another, pressed tightly together. They were immediately locked in a kiss, their hands exploring the familiar curves of each other's bodies while they still managed to move to the beat.

Slightly surprised by that, Sora stood motionless for a second before he started to feel very uncomfortable and walked away.

Sora had never actually seen Riku 'with' anyone before and he could truthfully say he was rather surprised... and slightly hurt. Riku had just ditched him, after he said he wouldn't... but then again, maybe he was just overreacting and Riku just wanted to catch up with Lee?

Yeah right.

As Sora moved to the edge of the crowd of moving bodies, he finally realized he didn't actually know where the bathroom was exactly.

God, he no longer liked the way the night was turning out.

Sighing, he began weaving his way around people, trying to find signs of the bathroom because it was only an excuse, he really needed to relieve himself.

After having three people stop him and ask if he wanted to dance, two people ask if he wanted to drink and who knows how many people touched him inappropriately, he finally found the bathroom.

Surprisingly the place was empty, for which Sora was glad, but he wasn't sure if he even wanted to enter the room.

The walls were painted a dark purple color? He couldn't really tell because there was graffiti everywhere on the walls. There was graffiti all over the stalls and one of the stalls was missing a door. The lights cast an eerie green glow over everything and made skin look sickly pale. The mirrors against the wall were at least clean, though one was cracked in the corner. The place looked sanitary, he supposed, but just very dark.

Stepping farther into the bathroom, Sora moved to one of the urinals. Unzipping his pants, Sora soon let out a soft sigh as all the excess water in his body left and as he reached down to tuck himself back into his pants, hands stopped him.

As he stood frozen, he felt a body press against his back as a deep, smooth voice spoke next to his ear, "Here... let me help you with that... Sora."
