Cloud walked in to see two boys asleep on the couch, one on the other's lap. He shook his head and leaned against the door frame as he watched the pair, both chests rising and falling with the rhythm of sleep. He heard Leon come up behind him and also start watching the two boys sleep on. There seemed to be a smirk on Leon's face as he knew how Cloud felt about his younger brother with Riku. He wrapped his arms around Cloud from behind and drew his mouth to Cloud ear, his hot steamy breath sending shivers down Cloud's spine as he felt it upon his ear. He turned his head slightly so he could see Leon out of the corner of his eye. "Calm down ok? It's nothing too sexual. After all, Riku does have some sense. He wouldn't try anything with Sora right after he recovered from his little ordeal. To tell you the truth, I think Riku feels that Sora still hasn't gotten over the incident. I think that Sora is a little shaken still and if I catch that, Riku is sure to have caught it too. So don't worry." Leon said in a voice that only Cloud was ale to hear. Leon's breath continued to crawl on Cloud's skin sending more shivers up the blonde's spine. Cloud leaned back onto his boyfriend with a sigh. Leon was right about it. It was hard not to notice that Sora was still shaken by the incident. He nodded slowly before the pair walked out without disturbing the sleeping couple. They deserved a quiet moment before things started to get frantic again. All of them knew it would happen. They were prepared for anything now. They hoped.
Sora woke up on something warm and comforting. He opened his sleep filled eyes and looked blurrily at what he was on. After a couple of minutes of focusing his eyes, he finally realized what he was sitting on. Riku. He didn't make any effort to move from his lap though. He was comfortable, happy, and warm. He wanted to stay like this forever but he knew he couldn't. He knew that times would only get harder for him. Especially now that Ansem was holding a grudge against the two boys and that he was still mad about his sex toy being stolen back from him. Sora shivered at the memory of Ansem and his so called fun. Riku, feeling the shiver that was exerted by Sora, slowly began to open his eyes. "What's got you shivering so early in the morning?" he asked the younger boy in his lap. Sora jumped from the surprise and fell to the floor with a hard thud. Riku laughed before helping to get Sora back on his lap. "So?" he asked the boy. Sora looked at the ground. "Just some stupid memories that I wish I could forget." He said. Riku frowned at this. "Don't think about them. I know it's hard but just try not to." Riku said as he hugged the younger boy close to him, Sora being able to hear Riku's heartbeat as it carried on. "Then what do I think of so I won't be able to remember them?" Sora asked as he looked up at Riku, his chin resting on the boy's chest, his blue eyes dancing with affection and question. Riku smirked and cupped Sora's chin in his hand. "How about the things we could be doing when all this is over?" he asked. Sora's eyes immediately showed pleasure and determination to stop this as soon as possible. Riku laughed as Sora's eyes did this. He loved Sora's eyes. Yet he loved Sora more. Anybody would be stupid not to notice this.
As lunch approached the already tired group, they sat around the table ready to take a break. They had been thinking of ways to figure out what Ansem's next move would be. Sora was irritated that he wasn't able to figure out what Ansem was to do next, yet he was terrified about what it might be. Riku was only tired from the long hours of silence because of brain storming. Leon and Cloud wanted to be doing other things at the moment but they had decided that the issue of Ansem came first no matter how raging their hormones were. Sora began to bang his head on the table from all the stress and thinking he had to deal with. Riku placed a comforting hand on Sora's back and made the brunette look at him. "Sora, I know that thinking hurts your brain but I'm pretty sure that's not going to help." He said. Sora gave a small smile before speaking. "Yeah it does. H-Hey! Wait a minute! Did you just call me stupid?" he asked. Leon, Cloud, and Riku began to laugh at Sora's density. They couldn't help it. He was just so dense that it would make anyone laugh. "Come on guys! Stop it! It's not that funny!" Sora said as he began his famous adorable pout. This only caused the older boys to laugh even more and start awing at him. His lip jutted out even farther, his eyes laughing as he did so. At least the stress was going away for a while. He didn't mind that.
Okay, I hope you thought this chapter was good. I wrote it just to show a bit of happiness in the group. The next chapter will be more action packed. I guess you could call this chapter sentimental or something. I don't know.
