Chapter 6

A thong?

A/N: Look, look. I'm posting again. This chapter is funny. Thong… black rose frilled thong. R&R place.

The few days that Sora and I spent together were paradise. I helped with the moving and unpacking of boxes. Most of the things Sora let me unpack were his own clothes. I found out he had a large sentimentality to a teddy bear collection he had been creating since he was young. Leon and Kairi had bought him many of the bears, and plushies, but most of them were from his parents that lived over seas.

Whenever I got the chance I would sneak into Sora's room and talk with him. He was quite the debate partner, and by the end of an hour or so he would have me thinking his way on whatever topic we had had our conversation on. I loved the time we spent together. We had become quite the pair of friends. I even caught him and myself finishing each other's sentences at times, course Kairi and him did that too. I didn't care if we couldn't be together. This was still perfect. I had made a good friend, something I had never really done before. After a few days of sleeping on the couch in the living room, and getting to know everyone Sora and I found ourselves in his room debating quite an interesting topic while unloading the last box of Sora's things.

" So Sora how many times have you gotten pierced, and where?" I asked.

Sora cocked an eyebrow toward me and I felt a nervous laugh escape my lips before I steeled myself.

" Twice." Sora replied.

" Twice!" I spun around and looked at him in shock.

" Yeah," Sora sad calmly as he turned back to folding his clothes." twice."

" Nice." I whispered as I began to fold once more as well.

" What about you?" Sora asked.

" What about me?" I asked back.

" Pierced." Sora replied.

I lifted my shirt to expose my flat stomach, and pierced into my navel was a shiny silver ring. I looked up at Sora and smiled when I found him gaping and staring at my stomach. I let my shirt fall back down to my hips, and I could help but smirk at the deep-rooted blush that had crept across his cheeks. I turned back to folding. The room fell silent for a few moments and I decided to pick the conversation up again with another question.

" I got it when I was about 10." I explained. " A friend of mine got it for me as a birthday gift."

" It looks painful." Sora whispered.

" Nah." I shrugged.

The room fell silent for a before I peered over my shoulder and gave Sora's back an evil grin.

"And where?"

Sora jumped and looked at me.

" That's personal." He said defensively.

" Come on, I showed you." I said, poking Sora in the shoulder.

Sora glared at me for a moment before he reached down to his hips, his right hand at his left hip and vise versa, gripped his shirt and pulled it up, covering his face, to expose his toned and soft stomach along with his chest, and a pair of pierced nipples. I felt my mouth drop open before I reached forward and gingerly ran my index finger over Sora's right pebble. I heard him give off a soft whine, before he swiftly wrenched his shirt back down to cover himself. I smiled at him, and found that there was a light blush creeping over his cheeks.

" When did you get those?" I asked.

" I got them right around the same time me, Kairi, and Leon started living together." Sora explained

I nodded and turned back to the box in front of me. We stood for a little while longer, the only sound in the room being the rustle of clothing.

" How long have you lived with Kairi and Leon?" I asked as I shoved my hands as far down into the tall box as they would go and grabbed two large handfuls of clothes.

" Ever since my parents, uh, moved over seas." Sora said softly.

I nodded.

" Well at least you got parents." I replied after a moment of thought.

" What do you mean by that?" Sora asked as he turned around to look at my back.

We had been turned away from each other unpacking the boxes we had chosen. The box I had was filled to the brim with clothes, and from what I had seen when Sora opened his box he was unpacking the last bits of his teddy collection. I glanced over my shoulder to find Sora looking at me with a sad face.

" I just mean that you're lucky to still have your parents. Mine died when I was at such a young age that I don't even remember their names." I replied.

Suddenly Sora had embraced me and hugged me tight. I drew out of the embrace gently and smiled.

" It's okay." I whispered as I turned around once more." I've come to grips with it."

" Riku?" Sora said my name.

" Yeah?" I replied, looking right into Sora's glowing sapphire eyes, which were brimming with tears.

" I lied…"

My eyes shot open in shock and I turned around fully to look Sora in the eye.

" Lied about what." I asked.

" My parents." Sora whispered as he ground the ball of his foot into the carpet.

" What about your parents?" I asked, genuinely shocked that Sora would lie to me.

" My parents aren't living over seas right now. They died a year ago, right after I finished grade school." Sora confessed.

Now it was my turn to pull Sora into my arms, but unlike me he just gave in. He sank into my embrace, and I could feel a bit of water come through my shirt where Sora's face was. Was he crying? We stayed like that for what seemed like forever, and we most likely would have stayed like that much longer if we hadn't heard Kairi call us for dinner. I held Sora out at arms length and smiled at him. I could understand why he had lied. I had my entire life to deal with the lose of my parents where as Sora had lost them only a year ago.

" We'll be right down Kairi!" I shouted toward the door.

I let go of Sora and watched as he walked to the door. I turned for a moment and dug my hands into the box of clothes again, and dumped the pile of material on Sora's bed right next to me. I turned to leave when something suddenly caught my eye, something on the top of the pile. I turned my eyes back to find a rose frilled black thong lying on top of the pile. I picked them up between my index and thumb and turned to Sora who now had a very shocked look on his face.

I held the thong out at arm length and turned it over and over so that it was presented to my view perfectly. I could just see Sora watching on in horror, his jaw barely still on its hinge. I felt a smirk come across my lips and I rubbed my fingers together on the fabric, and looked at Sora.

I dangled the black lingerie between me and Sora and I smirk once again.

" Yours I presume." I said, placing it as a bit of a question.

" N-no!" Sora blurted.

I brought them close to my eyes and ran my free index finger over the crotch area to find it oh so soft.

" Hey, c-come on Riku!" Sora shouted as he reached for the thong." They might be Kairi's!"

" You ever seen her in them?" I asked as I held them above my head, effectively keeping the lingerie out of the brunets reach.

" As if!" Sora shouted.

Poor Sora, him and Kairi together and he hadn't even seen her in this sexy thing. My mind wandered, pulling up images of the cinnamon haired boy dressed in nothing but…this thong. What a sight that would be…

" C-come on Riku!" Sora shouted, pulling me back from my thoughts." Put 'em back."

I figured I might as well. I walked back over to Sora's bed and placed them on top of the pile. I let my eyes drift over the contents, noticing a few other bits of sexy underwear, and a pair of black and gray-stripped socks. I wondered what a bunch Kairi's clothes were doing in Sora's box, but then again, I didn't question it much. I shrugged to myself and walked after Sora as we made our way downstairs for dinner.

The sound of the dinnerware clinking softly against the white china plates rose in the room as conversations rose between the four of us. Everything seemed to fit together so well. It almost felt as though I was a part of their little family. I could only hope I wasn't in the way of anything. I didn't like being a bother to people, even if I did impose on Tifa and her shoe throwing husband quite a lot, I didn't feel comfortable doing that. I had lived with the Professor for a while, and even though he had enough money to not only buy China, but also sell it for half the price, I had forced him to just as simply buy me a bed and let me go back home.

But here, with Sora, his brother, and his girlfriend, I didn't feel in the way. I felt quite in place. We all sat together for dinner, which felt like a strange occurrence for me. First of all, eating dinner at dinnertime was something I hardly ever did, and secondly eating with others was strange. Sora and I sat on the floor in front of the coffee table in the living room, and Leon and Kairi sat on the couch behind us. Every once and a while Leon would give Sora a playful nudge in the back, and Kairi would giggle and I just sat there enjoying the show. Kairi had cooked a whole meal of fish sticks, stuffed green peppers, and sausage.

I ate what she had given me happily, finishing faster then the others, and I placed my plate on the table in front of me. I turned around, so that I was facing Kairi and Leon on the couch, and I placed my elbows on the table. Sora finished shortly after, while Leon and Kairi were politely immersed in dinner conversation about the house, and the neighborhood. They hadn't eaten much, and I was left wondering why Kairi and Leon seemed to spend so much time together. Whenever I saw them they would be talking, she spent more time with Leon then Sora. But like most things between the brothers and Sora's girlfriend I didn't spend much time pondering it. I just as simply left it for what it was.

Even if I didn't know what that was exactly.

" But what if I don't care for those little lawn gnomes?"

Kairi jumped.

" But they're so cute!" She argued, waving her fork in Leon's face.

" We ain't getting any." Leon said in his normally gruff tone, and use of horrible grammar.

" I don't care what you say Leon we're getting some." Kairi said, leaving no room for discussion.

Leon hung his head and sighed.

" Yes your majesty." He said jokingly.

" Shut it." She flicked him in the ear and went back to her food.

Sora and I chuckled softly in unison. We gazed at each other before we both gathered our plates and made out way to the kitchen. I gave my plate to Sora and he put them in the sink. He washed some water over the white surfaces, and then turned the tap off. He turned around and leaned against the counter. I mimicked his actions and leaned against the counter near me.

" Dinner and a show." I said jokingly as I pointed over my shoulder with my thumb.

Sora laughed.

" They're always like that." He replied.

" How come you and Kairi don't sit next to each other while eating?" I asked.

It was something I had seen as what couples would do. Anytime I saw Tifa and Cloud together they were sitting at the table eating. It just seemed to be what couples did.

" She likes sitting next to Leon." Sora said, looking down at the ground.

I saw a bit of a sad expression come over her face and I sighed.

" It just seems to me like Kairi spends more time with Leon then with you." I said.

" She likes to spend more time with Leon then me." Sora said, his eyes coming to meet mine.

And yet he didn't look sad anymore. Just truthful.

" She's your girlfriend. You two should be spending so much more time together." I said.

A look of shock came to Sora's face.

" My what?" He choked out.

" Come to think of it." I continued, not noticing Sora's look." I don't see you guys share the same bed. You have separate rooms."

" Riku!" Sora shouted, finally breaking me from my rambling.

I looked down at him.

" Just kidding it's your…"

" Kairi's my sister!"
