(Chapter 7: Feelings)

Riku watched the scene unfolding quietly. He watched as Sora and Kairi met a strange young girl who called herself Saigi. 'Daughter of Maleficent indeed...' Riku thought with a bit of malice. 'She was probably just a bit of dark smoke before she entered Sora's heart and started feeding off of him.' He sighed and watched as the girl hit Sora with her attack. Riku jumped to his feet, though he had already known that this would hurt Saigi as well, he had to be ready for what occurred because of it. Sure enough the two of them disappeared. Riku closed his eyes concentrating his heart on seeking out his soul mate.

Riku had gained this ability to find anyone in the darkness when he had accepted his dark side back at Castle Oblivion. Sora showed up in the dark realm as a blip of pure light upon an otherwise dark place and thusly was easy to find... no matter where he would've ended up. Riku followed the bright light, sliding through the vast darkness between them as though Sora had appeared at his doorstep. Most people called it teleporting... but Riku figured that in a place that was devoid of anything at all, one could be everywhere and nowhere all at once. He simply used that logic to his advantage. Lucky thing too... he'd come just in time as he'd found Sora about to be swallowed up by a large group of Shadows and Neo Shadows.

The two made their way to a cave and Riku set up camp, the brunette watched him with growing respect, still wondering how this man had found a cave in that expansive darkness. "So... what's a kid like you doing in a place like this?" Riku asked as he removed his hood, careful not to let Sora know that he knew who he was.

Sora blushed faintly and sighed, "I don't know. I just... woke up here. I can't remember anything before that." He said sadly, looking up in surprise to find that his hero didn't look that much older than himself.

Riku stared at him in surprise. "Not anything? What about you're name? You do know your name right?"

Sora shook his head sadly, "Nope... no memories at all." He hugged his knees feeling a bit scared now that he had more time to think on the matter.

He looked up in surprise as a warm, comforting arm slid around his shoulders. "Hey don't worry about it... I'm sure you've just got a bit of amnesia. You can hang out with me until you start remembering things again ok?" Riku said smiling gently.

Sora found solace in the older teen's embrace and smiled, leaning his head against him, feeling safe with his savior. "Thanks." He murmured, falling asleep from exhaustion.

Riku was thankful that Sora hadn't looked up at him or he would've seen the silver-haired man blushing like a tomato. He closed his eyes and savored their closeness, drawing Sora closer to himself as he fell asleep so as to give him a better pillow. God it felt good to just hold him like this without getting weird stares from anyone. 'Hell... if he wasn't the one doing the staring I wouldn't care who the hell was staring.' He admonished, resting his head against the brunettes and falling asleep himself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Riku and Sora made their way back to his home base. On the way Riku casually explained to him that he had a friend that might be able to help Sora regain his memories. Sora nearly exploded with happiness, tackling him to the ground.

"Are you serious? And you'll take me to them?" Sora asked like a puppy, looking down at a comatose Riku.

"Err yeah." Riku muttered, shoving the boy off before his reflexes got out of control and he kissed the boy right then and there. He rubbed his forehead; hanging around Sora all the time was taxing his patience. He hoped that the boy would grow to like him back even without his memories. Or he was going to have a lot of explaining to do...

That night Sora watched as his savior slept soundly beside him. He was so handsome, his silver hair falling over his pale skin. And that outfit he wore underneath his trench coat made him look impossibly sexy. Without his memories, Sora didn't remember that he'd once been unable to accept his feelings for Riku, and the tender smile that crossed his cherry-colored lips as he watched him sleep was genuine.

The next morning Riku was surprised to find the younger male sleeping within his embrace, his head against his chest as he snored softly. Riku's heart pounded and he nearly broke. "My god, why do you have to be so hot?" He whispered softly.

"I was going to ask you the same question." The reply surprised Riku and he glanced down to see Sora's eyes open and shimmering with laughter.

"Sora... I..." Riku breathed in response, reaching out to run his fingers through the boy's chocolate hair.

Sora's eyes widened and he scooted closer in curiosity. "Wait... you know my name? How come you didn't mention that before?" He asked curiously.

Riku blushed faintly and pulled back warily, "Well... you know me. I used to be your best friend. Up until recently. We kind of had a fight..." He said honestly, turning away because he didn't want to see the disappointment in Sora's eyes.

What happened next took his breath away. "So... I know you?" Came a soft reply.

"Yeah... mmmrph!" Riku grunted in surprise as the boy spun him around and kissed him gently on the lips.

'What the...!' Riku thought in confusion, gently pushing the boy away. "Wait... Sora... I don't understand." He said gently, prodding the boy for an answer to his strange behavior.

"You said I know you right? Well... I really like you Riku... and I thought it would be weird for me to feel so much for you when I barely know you at all. But if what you say is true... then I must've liked you before and the feelings crossed over when I lost my memories. I may not know you in my mind... but I know you in my heart." Sora said philosophically, astounding Riku. He leaned forward and kissed the older teen again.

"You sure about this?" Riku whispered tenderly, running his hands through soft chocolate locks.

"Yes." Sora replied and leaned forward again.

This time Riku didn't interrupt, loving the feel of the younger boy's soft lips against his own. He returned the kiss tenderly, wanting to savor every moment of this. He ran his thumb along the boy's cheekbone and jaw line, touching and feeling the skin there, how soft it was. He could feel Sora's soft breathing tickling him as he ran his tongue along the other boy's bottom lip. Sora gasped softly and Riku took the opportunity to slip his tongue inside the surprised one's mouth, sliding it along Sora's and tasting him.

Sora's fingers tangled themselves in Riku's silver hair, since the younger boy was not sure of what to do, he allowed Riku to have his way, enjoying the sensations the older boy stirred up within him.

Riku's free hand drifted down the front of Sora's shirt, allowing his fingers to touch and feel through the light fabric. He gently teased Sora's nipples through the shirt, enjoying the gasp of pleasure that fell into his mouth from the younger boy's. He continued his journey down Sora's chest, finding where his shirt was tucked into his baggy pants. With his thumb and forefinger he unbuttoned the belts from the pants, freeing the shirt from its bounds. He pulled back from Sora, allowing them both a breath of air as he pulled off the younger boy's shirt.

Sora's large blue eyes stared up at Riku trustingly, those beautiful electric blue orbs reflecting their feelings for Riku like a window into the soul. Riku nearly chocked, Sora loved him. 'Am I worthy of such beauty?' Riku thought absentmindedly as he stared at the younger boy's naked chest.

As though Sora sensed what he was thinking he sat up a bit and wrapped his arms around the older boy's waist, burying his face into that wonderfully muscled torso. "I love you." He muttered blissfully and then stared up into Riku's startling emerald eyes.

Riku groaned and tackled the boy back onto the ground, touching and tasting all of the naked flesh he could find. He trailed kisses down the side of Sora's neck, loving the way the younger boy's body lifted itself against him as he explored with his lips and fingers. Expert hands caressed the brunette's sides, eliciting small gasps of pleasure from his lover. He rubbed and kissed his nipples, gently bruising them with his teeth.

Sora writhed under Riku's touch, unable to believe the sensations rushing through his body as Riku had his way. He could feel his body slowly gaining in heat and something else was growing down below. He blushed faintly and whimpered as his baggy pants seemed to suddenly be rather tight on him. He slid one hand down and guided one of Riku's to where he burned to be touched.

A warm chuckle escaped those tanned lips and Riku gently pushed Sora's hand away. "I'm getting there." He murmured lovingly, leaning up to kiss the boy's cherry lips a moment.

Sora's body went on overdrive from all the teasing and suddenly they had switched places, Sora on automatic as he tried to copy everything that Riku had done to him. Riku was at first paralyzed with surprise that his love could be so forward, but he didn't have much time left for thought as Sora's quick learning skills brought him to the edge of his patience, his body unbearably hot and his lower half craving for flesh.

Soon both boys found themselves naked in each other's arms, Riku's mouth found it's way to Sora's little head, licking and sucking there gently, causing tremors to shake the younger boy's body. "R…Riku…" He half moaned, tossing his head back and forth as he felt himself tighten. He was so hot… something had to give. Moments later he couldn't take it anymore and he felt himself explode, a whirlwind of colors spiraling through his jumbled mess of thoughts.

Riku gently wiped his lips clean and smiled at the younger boy, he pressed a finger into the boy's entrance, shocking him some more. Riku slid one arm behind Sora's shoulders as he stared into those blue orbs, sliding one more finger inside to help ready him for what was coming next.

Sora couldn't believe the continuing barrage of sensations rocketing through him after that release, he somehow found himself on his stomach, pain and pleasure finding him as Riku came inside of him. Somewhere behind him Sora heard Riku groan and he smiled in spite of himself, not minding that it hurt to have his lover inside of him like this as long as Riku was happy.
