Title: Love On A Rotten Day

Author: Slashapalooza

Disclaimer: If I owned Kingdom Hearts, Kairi would have died. In, like, the first three seconds. No, seriously. A giant fish would have hopped out of the ocean and eaten her. And then Sora would have been all, "Thank God." And Riku would have been all, "Forget that bitch, let's go screw." And then Sora would have giggled and said, "Okay."

And then later, they'd go inside the cave and scratch Kairi's picture off the wall, replace it with Riku's, and draw a paopu fruit between their little picture thingies. And then Riku would have given Sora a paopu and Sora would NOT have thrown it in the water.

And then after Kingdom Hearts, the last thing Riku said would NOT have been 'Take care of her'. It would have been 'Sora, I love you.' And Sora would have said 'I love you too. I'll find you again, Riku! And then we'll make babies!' And Riku would say 'We're male, you idiot' and Sora would pause and then say 'We'll adopt, dammit'

And the world would shake it's heads at Sora's stupidity and cry as Riku goes bye bye.

Squaresoft, you bastards.

Author's Note - 1/17/05 Hm. So. Riku and Sora. Mwah. Many of you were so outraged that Tidus was getting some from Sora. But don't worry. Sora belongs to Riku. I mean, come on! Riku gave Sora a paopu fruit on the land bridge in Kingdom Hearts. Of course, Sora idiotically THREW IT IN THE WATER but, hey, we're not holding that against him. ::ignores noises coming from her bedroom:: Or, at least, I'm not since Sora claims he went back to fish it out later.

Addendum - 1/18/05 Okay, you are so all on crack. Two hundred reviews? For me? That is more reviews than I've ever gotten in my life. In return, I promise to marry you all.

::silence::

Oh fine. My self-esteem just dropped a few levels right there. Fine. Riku promises to auction off… Things at the end of this chapter. Is that good enough for you all? Also I got new fanart. And need to update my website. And go take my Spanish midterm. Oy vey.

Replies:

Insanehikari – Okay, you are, like, officially my second favorite reviewer. You make me giggle. And you're only second place because, well, Kari writes and draws for me. My love for her is purely mutualism based. Really.

Anyway, yes, Sora is a perv. It's just hidden deep down there. You can't forget that competitive streak, you know. And, yes, I made Kairi cool in this. I hate her with a firy burning passion, yes, but Kari likes her and she reads my chapters beforehand. And, besides, those stories with Kairi The Bitch made her seem totally out of character.

And, Sora's Dad. ::smirks:: He's in the hospital silly. But not for long.

Haven-Hikari – Kari, my love! ::squee:: Look! I wrote! And there was kissing and losing of clothes! Aren't you proud of me? Of course, you know what's going to happen in the story already, but, still. Aren't you so proud?

Tidus is an idiot. And a pack-mule with a fanny pack. I mean, honestly, whose idea was it to draw Tidus with a fanny pack? He just lost, like, a quarter of respect in my eyes. But don't despair! He'll get his head out of his bum when he realizes how miserable he made Riku and Sora.

And Selphie… Selphie will get her revenge. She will. ::evil laugh::

"You want me to put my lips on that?" Tidus said seconds later, giving Selphie a glare that could have made even the hardest criminal shudder. Selphie, however, didn't flinch.

"You heard me. Kiss him. Like you mean it," she said, raising an eyebrow. "We're all waiting."

Tidus looked at Sora, who had the appearance of a deer caught in headlights. Then the brunette's eyes fluttered closed and he started praying. A scowl crossed Tidus's face. "Fine. I'll kiss him. Since you seem to want it so bad."

He got up, walking over to Sora, who was still muttering prayers under his breath. Ignoring the look he was getting from Riku, Tidus knelt down in front of Sora, put his hands on the boy's shoulders, and kissed him.

Sora's entire body froze up. Mouth wash… disinfectant… Mommy… were among the thoughts racing through the brunette's head. He tried to break off the kiss; maybe he could wipe his mouth off while everybody was clapping for Tidus.

But Tidus wouldn't let him move. Tidus' hands clamped tightly over Sora's shoulders, almost hard enough to bruise, and he deepened the kiss, slipping his tongue between Sora's slightly parted lips.

Sora whimpered helplessly. No amount of mouthwash would get rid of this.

When it seemed as if there was no end in sight, and breathing was becoming a problem, Tidus finally pulled back, panting, but smirking. He looked over at Selphie, who was pale-faced, her mouth drawn into an angry line. "Happy now?"

Instead of answering, Selphie stood up and stormed from the room. Yuffie shot Tidus a dirty look and ran after her.

Tidus casually flopped back into his seat, glancing at Sora out of the corner of his eye. The younger boy was wiping his lips furiously with the end of Riku's shirt. The white-haired boy wrapped an arm around Sora's shoulder and glared at Tidus.

"Interesting," Tidus said to himself, grabbing the bottle. He spun the bottle, watching as it came to a halt on Sora. "Truth or dare, Sora?"

"Truth…" Sora answered hesitantly, his face flushed and slightly guilty-looking. As if Tidus hadn't seen him wiping his mouth like he'd been kissed by a mud monster.

"How do you really feel about Riku?"

Sora looked around at Riku, Kairi, Wakka, and Tidus. Then he blushed and looked down. "I changed my mind. Dare."

Tidus laughed. "Oh yeah? I dare you to kiss Riku. Like you mean it," he said, imitating Selphie's words from before in a mocking tone. Sora recognized the challenge and his eyes snapped up to meet Tidus'. It was obvious that Sora's competitive spirit was getting the best of him.

Riku raised an eyebrow.

A second later, Sora had tackled Riku and was furiously kissing the boy as if his life depended on it. Riku was pleasantly surprised for a moment before his instincts kicked in.

He had a show to beat.

A small groan was all the warning Sora got before he found himself being pinned to the ground, and a hot mouth descended upon his own.

I wanted to be the seme, dammit, Sora thought before he felt Riku's hands gently massaging his sides, getting him to relax, and all coherent thought flew out of his head. Sora's eyes clamped shut and he made a small noise in the back of his throat that Riku decided he loved then and there.

Riku's kiss was hot and insistent. He pressed another firm kiss to Sora's mouth before diving lower, to Sora's neck, and nibbling as if he expected to find candy hidden somewhere under Sora's skin. Sora arched his back, his breath coming out in short pants.

"Ri-hee-ku…" Sora groaned articulately. His hands, of their own free will, fisted in Riku's shirt, pulling the older boy closer. Both released a simultaneous moan as their hips bumped together.

They seemed completely unaware that there were three other people in the room.

Riku drew back suddenly, taking deep heaving breaths. Sora opened his eyes, locking gazes with Riku, staring deep into the eyes of the boy he loved. And then Riku tugged off Sora's shirt, his mouth latching on to the newly revealed skin, and Sora lost the ability to think once again.

If he were more self-aware, he would have been embarrassed. He might have even tried to stop Riku.

But what Riku was doing with his hands and mouth just felt so good – Sora found it quite hard to focus on anything else but getting more of the delicious warmth that was pooling in his stomach. Riku aligned their bodies, shifted a bit and—

"Oh!" Sora cried, his heart rate increasing. Riku, seemingly content with this, pulled away, placing one last, chaste kiss on Sora's lips. The younger boy opened his eyes again, giving Riku a stare that was so innocent and so trusting that Riku couldn't resist the urge to kiss him again.

"If you two are done," came a voice that Sora vaguely recognized as Kairi's, "maybe you'd like to join us in the bedroom for strip poker?"

Wait… Kairi?!

And suddenly, Sora remembered that he'd let Riku strip him and molest him… while people were watching!

His face turned an interesting shade of red and he shoved Riku off him, stammering excuses and apologies to Kairi under his breath.

Kairi laughed. "Don't worry. Tidus cleared out when Riku pinned you down and the rest of us left after the moaning began."

Sora turned even redder. Riku just smirked.

"Anyway," Kairi continued. Sora's eyebrow went up when he realized she'd donned a jacket, mittens, and scarf, as well as two pairs of socks, and her shoes. "Meet us all upstairs in the bedroom. The game's about to start."

Sora watched her walk away in confused silence. Game? What game? He hadn't really been paying attention to anything before Kairi's embarrassing statement. He looked over at Riku, who had that 'cat that caught the canary' look in his eyes.

"You know, I've always loved poker. Best game in the world. Used to play it all the time," Riku said in a nonchalant voice, a smirk on his face. "It's even better when it's strip poker."

Sora froze. Strip poker? Why did Kairi have to pick something she KNEW he was horrible at? Was the entire world involved in a conspiracy to keep his face as red as it possibly could get?!

Noticing that Sora was very close to having a heart attack, Riku leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to Sora's lips, pulling away when the brunette whimpered and relaxed. Riku smirked, then began heading out of the room.

"Hurry up. Oh," he added as an afterthought. "You may want to put your shirt back on first."

-

By the time Sora got upstairs, everyone was arranged in a circle on the floor with the exception of Selphie, who was sitting on the bed, looking miserable. Sora felt a twinge of guilt and walked over. "Ah… Selphie, can I talk to you?"

Selphie gave him a piercing stare, but then nodded, following Sora into the hallway and folding her arms. Her eyes were red and puffy – Evidence that she'd been crying. Sora swallowed.

"I'm… I'm sorry about the, um, the kiss," Sora said awkwardly, wondering if she'd be insulted if he mentioned that her boyfriend was a horrible kisser and that all he could think about during the kiss was mouthwash.

Selphie gave him a grateful smile. "Oh, don't worry about me. It wasn't your fault, anyway. I'm the one who dared him." Selphie glanced at her feet. "I always knew Tidus liked you, you know. But I figured, hey, maybe I had a small chance. Guess I was wrong."

Sora rubbed his arm uncomfortably. "Sorry."

"And you know what's even worse?" Selphie continued, looking up at Sora with a slightly faker smile. "Tomorrow's our one year anniversary. So much for that."

"You should really try and be more positive," Sora said in a passive voice, noticing Tidus standing behind the door and listening to them. "I mean, you're pretty and you're really nice. If I wasn't gay, I might like you." This got a laugh. Sora smiled wider. "So, come on. Tidus will come to his senses, so, when he does, make him beg and buy you a yacht!"

Selphie beamed. "Thanks Sora."

Sora scratched the back of his head and beamed back. "No problem. It's just weird to see you not smiling. And besides, it's kind of my fault in a way, I guess."

"Either way," Selphie said with a smile. "I think I'd better head home. I don't feel like staying here anymore. Tell them I left for me?"

"I will," Sora said with a nod. Selphie started past him and Sora was about to go back in to the party when he heard her call.

"Um… Sora?" Selphie's voice came, sounding hesitant. Sora turned to face her and raised an eyebrow.

"Hm?"

Selphie hesitated again, biting her lip. "You know… he never mentioned anything to me but… Riku really likes you."

Sora fought the urge to snort. "The only thing Riku's interested in is getting laid."

"No," Selphie said, shaking her head. "I mean, sure, maybe he didn't like you at first. But I can see it in the way he looks at you and when he talks about you… Riku's in love with you, Sora. Even though he probably doesn't realize it yet."

"Look, Selphie, thanks and everything, but I don't think—"

"And I think you like him, too. I think you two would make a very… nice couple. And I'm not just saying that to get you out of the way so I can have my Tidy back," Selphie said with a grin. Sora couldn't help but laugh. Selphie smiled at him again, then continued down the stairs.

Sora waited until he heard the door open and close before turning around, noting in amusement that Tidus was no longer hiding behind the door.

He walked back into the bedroom, glancing at Riku out of the corner of his eye. The white-haired boy was saying something to Yuffie, a big smirk on his face. It seemed inconceivable to Sora that Riku could ever possibly like him that way.

And yet a little voice in the back of his mind was calling him a big Class A idiot.

But Sora tended to ignore that voice for the most part.

He dropped down next to Kairi, directly across the circle from Riku, who looked up and gave Sora a smile that made the brunette slightly weak in the knees. He swallowed and the feeling passed when Riku turned back to Yuffie again.

"I'll deal," Kairi announced, shuffling the cards and shooting Sora a mischievous look. Sora received his hand and looked at it. Two 3s, a 5, a 10, and a Jack. Joy.

He sighed as the rest of the kids examined their hands. He had always been horrible at strip poker. He should have opted to go home like Selphie had. Of course, Kairi would kill him the next morning, but at least he'd get to keep his clothes on!

Why was it he was always losing articles of clothing whenever Riku happened to be around?

"Alright," Riku said after a bit. "I'm trading in two cards." He tossed two cards towards Kairi, who slid the cards to the bottom of the deck and passed him two more. Yuffie and Tidus also traded in some cards; Wakka looked content with what he had.

"Four cards," Sora said in a dull voice, handing Kairi the cards and taking the ones she handed back. Now he had a Jack, a 9, a Queen, a 4 and another 3. There weren't any matches for him to win with, either. He pouted.

"Everybody ready yet?" Riku asked impatiently. He had that look in his eyes again and was looking directly at Sora as if he knew that the younger boy couldn't win if he tried.

Sora whimpered and covered his face with his hands while everybody nodded their affirmative.

"Alright. Unless any of you can beat a Straight Flush, then everybody better start taking off some clothes," Riku said, putting his cards down face-up so everyone could see the sequence of Diamonds he had.

There was a collective groan.

Kairi pulled off her left shoe and tossed it into the middle. Wakka tossed in his head band. In went Tidus's sock and Yuffie's bracelet. Sora, suddenly wishing he'd wore layers like Kairi, tossed in his sock and blushed.

Riku smirked and pushed his cards in Kairi's direction. This was fun.

-

After a few more rounds, the losings were as a follows:

Tidus: His necklace, his shirt, and both his socks.

Kairi: Her jacket, her socks, her shoes, her necklace, and her pajama top.

Yuffie: Her headband, her socks, and her shorts.

Wakka: His necklace, his socks, his shoes, and his cap.

Riku: Zip. Nada. Not a single item had moved from Riku's body to the huge pile of clothes in the center of the circle. In fact, Riku had taken it upon himself to make sure that everyone fairly contributed whenever they lost.

"Come on, Sora. We can't continue playing if you don't take off your pants," Riku drawled, fixing Sora with an evil smirk that bordered on cruel. Sora, however, sat stubbornly on the floor, his arms crossed, his eyes determined.

"No. Way," he enunciated clearly. Sora himself had lost everything but his pants and his boxers and he sure as hell wasn't taking off his pants. Kairi giggled, covering her mouth with her hand, while everyone else merely gave Sora amused looks.

Riku was the most amused of all. "Sora, the pants have to come off eventually."

"No. No, they don't," Sora insisted.

"Yes, they do. We can't finish the game if you don't. Take. Them. Off."

"Well, then, I guess the game is over, because there's no way I'm gonna—RIKU!" Sora squealed as the older boy suddenly launched across the circle and pinned Sora to the floor, pulling off Sora's pants in one swift motion and tossing them over his shoulder to join the other clothes. Sora struggled, bucking his hips to try and throw Riku off him. However, all he succeeded in doing was make Riku very…

…Excited.

Riku took a deep, shaky breath, and got off Sora, walking back to his side of the circle. His eyes were at least three shades darker and Sora wasn't sure he liked the hungry look in the white-haired teen's eyes. "Next round," Riku said in a low voice, not taking his eyes off Sora.

Kairi fought the urge to smirk. "Yes, sir."

She dealt the cards. Sora glanced down at his hand and paled. Not a single match or anything that could help him win this thing! And he had nothing left to give, except…

He stared down at his black boxers with the red hearts all over there.

There. Was. No. Freakin'. Way.

"Um, you know, I think I'm backing out of this round," Sora said in what he hoped was a nonchalant voice. He set his cards on the floor face-down. "I'm kind of tired, and—"

"If you forfeit, you still have to take them off, Sora, so don't bother," Kairi said. It was at times like these that Sora hated how she knew him so well.

He picked his cards back up again slowly, glancing up. Riku was giving him that look again.

Sora felt a shiver go up his spine and swallowed, looking at his cards again. He really wished Riku wouldn't look at him like that. It made him feel like, if he let his guard down, he'd get pounced on and molested.

Even more disturbingly, Sora was starting to mind that feeling less and less.

He shook those thoughts out of his head, tuning in just in time to hear Riku say, "Everybody ready?" Sora's heart started pounding. How was he going to get out of this? There was no way he was going to stand butt-naked in front of Yuffie, Wakka, Kairi, Tidus, and Riku. Especially not the last three. Kairi would be scarred, God knows what would run through Tidus's mind, and Riku would probably rape him.

With his subconscious consent, but still.

It would be very, very wrong of Sora to risk such disasters by removing his underwear.

He was contemplating whether or not he'd be able to get to the front door before Riku tackled him and ripped his boxers off – and where exactly he could go if he did, in fact, get outside – when he saw a hand flash in front of his face. Sora blinked and looked at Kairi, who was raising an eyebrow at him. "You're the only one who hasn't shown your cards, Sora. We're all waiting."

While she said this, Kairi was in the midst of removing her pajama bottoms. It was something Sora did not want to see ever in his life at risk of going blind and/or having horrible images of his best friend in nothing but her bra and panties imprinted onto his retinas forever and ever, so he turned his head to the side.

Wakka, Yuffie, and, of course, Riku, were safe this round. Tidus had forked over his pants, leaving him in a pair of white boxers covered in basketballs. Kairi tossed her PJ bottoms in and looked at Sora expectantly.

Riku smirked. "You lost again, didn't you, So-ra?"

Sora blushed indignantly, but couldn't deny it. He stared at the interesting marble shade carpeting.

Riku's smirk increased. "You know what that means. Take 'em off, Sora." He laughed when Sora shook his head vehemently. "Do you want me to come over there and take them off for you? Like I did with your pants?"

Sora looked at Riku through narrowed eyes and said nothing. He was sure that if he did attempt to speak, it would come out as a string of very un-Sora-like curses. So he merely hopped to his feet. "I… am going to the kitchen to eat cookies and pretend all of you don't exist."

As he was about to make his exit, a hand clamped onto his own, stopping him in his tracks. He turned to see Riku looking at him that way and smiling as though Christmas had come early.

"Now, Sora…" Riku said in a low, husky voice that made Sora's breathing speed up instinctively. "If you won't take them off willingly, I may have to… persuade you… which might lead to other things… After all, I did say I was going to sleep with you, didn't I?"

Sora gave Riku the Sora Harada Evil Glare of Doom™.

Seconds later, Riku's vision was clouded by black satin. He just managed to rip Sora's boxers off his face in time to catch Sora's naked behind as the boy stormed out the door. After a few seconds, a door at the end of the hallway slammed shut with enough force to cause a picture to fall from the wall behind Riku.

The white-haired boy chuckled and turned back to the group.

Yuffie and Wakka were collapsed in laughter. Kairi was covering her eyes and whimpering 'See no evil, see no evil, see no nekkid Sora' over and over again. And Tidus… well, Tidus was cleaning up the mess that had been made by the smashing picture frame.

Riku clapped his hands together and sighed in contentment. "Alright, Tidus, Wakka, Yuffie, get out. Kairi, please re-dress yourself before my eyes start burning and I am forced to get glasses."

He ignored the fact that sweet, innocent Kairi had just given him the finger, and turned around, walking out the door.

He was halfway to the bathroom at the end of the hall when he suddenly thought of something and ran back to the room. "As an afterthought, because I lost nothing besides my sock, I get to keep one article of all of your clothes. I'm keeping Kairi's shoe, Tidus's necklace, Yuffie's headband and Wakka… man, put your clothes back on. My eyes. They buuuurn."

Wakka rolled his eyes as Riku disappeared again. The white-haired teen knocked on the bathroom door quietly, pressing his ear against the door to listen. "Sora?"

"I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, keep me here," came a monotonous voice from the other side of the door. Riku rolled his eyes.

"Sora, why are you hiding? It's me!" Riku said, leaning against the wall.

"You just answered your own question!" Sora replied. Riku heard a 'click' and mentally cursed his own stupidity. He could have barged in already?! Damn.

"So-ra," Riku said in a sing-songy voice. "Come on out, Sora. I don't bite." He smirked. "Not unless you want me to, that is."

There was a resounding silence following this statement. Fearing that Sora had died, Riku frowned thoughtfully and looked at the lock. He walked back to the bedroom, watching for a moment as the now-clothed occupants gathered their things (with the exception of Kairi, who was sitting on the bed, muttering something about what she was going to do with only one shoe). He walked over to Kairi and held out his hand.

"Let me borrow your hair pin," Riku drawled in a lazy voice. Kairi looked up at him in confusion, but when he offered no explanation, she merely sighed and pulled a pin out of her hair. Riku took it and smiled. "Thank you. Now," he turned to Tidus, Wakka, and Yuffie. "I thought I kicked you out. Freeloaders."

He walked past them, waiting for the three of them to walk down the stairs and until he heard the slamming of the door. Then he headed back to the bathroom.

"Sora?"

No reply.

"I guess we're doing this the hard way." Riku stuck the hairpin into the lock, jiggling it around. It was one of those basic locks – sticking a piece of metal in the right place and applying the right amount of pressure was sure to…

Click.

Satisfied, Riku pocketed the hairpin and opened the bathroom door. He smirked when he saw that Sora was sitting on the floor in front of the sink, in typical Pout Position, wearing nothing but a yellow towel.

The brunette was leaving very little to Riku's overactive imagination.

Sora's eyes widened and he backed up until he was pressed against the wall and stood up, staring at Riku as if he was the devil incarnate.

Which, for Sora, he kind of was.

Riku stepped further into the bathroom, the smirk not leaving his face. "So-ra is being a very bad boy today, isn't he?"

Sora swallowed, his eyes flittering about the bathroom. It was obvious he was thinking. Then, suddenly, the scared look left his face and it was replaced by a predatory stare not unlike the one Riku usually had.

Confused, Riku dropped his smirk and just blinked. What was Sora up to?

"Sora is being a very bad boy," Sora cooed in a seductive voice. Riku stared. "I think you should punish him. Hard. And repeatedly."

Riku blinked again. Was Sora really suggesting what he thought he was suggesting…? He stepped closer to Sora, still looking slightly confused. He was, however, never one to turn down the opportunity to molest sweet, innocent Sora.

Sora moved away from the wall until he was directly in front of Riku, trailing his fingers up the older boy's chest and smiling when he got a shiver. His hand reached up, brushing his fingers through Riku's hair and leaning close enough so that their lips were mere inches apart.

"S-Sora…" Riku murmured. Sora was delighted at the reaction he was getting. "What on earth are you—"

Sora smirked. "Nothing. Just… this!" He ducked around Riku while the older boy was distracted and darted out of the bathroom and back to the bedroom. With another slam and a soft click, Sora was safe – and so was his virginity.

It took Riku a whole minute to realize what happened and another minute to get himself under control. Then he smiled.

Looks like Sora wasn't so innocent after all.

-

Once Sora had been properly clothed (and Kairi had had a nice, long round of laughter about the whole situation) the three found themselves back down in the living room, setting up their sleeping bags.

Riku was busy placing his sleeping bag in the corner farthest from the window when he heard a small noise and turned to see Sora dragging his sleeping bag out of the room. He smiled. "Sora, what are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?" asked Sora, who was now dressed in a simple t-shirt with pajama bottoms. "I'm moving my sleeping bag as far away from yours as possible. Like upstairs."

"Oh no you're not," Kairi interrupted. "I don't want to wake up and find that Riku's snuck upstairs and you guys were getting it on in my bed. No way. I'm sleeping upstairs. The two of you are sleeping in here."

Sora's eyes widened considerably. "Kairi! You can't seriously be considering leaving me alone with him, are you? He'll… he'll molest me in my sleep!"

Riku smirked and said nothing in defense of himself.

"Better down here than in my bedroom, don't you think?" Kairi said sweetly, taking the sleeping bag from Sora and leaving the room.

Sora suddenly became claustrophobic.

Alone.

In a tiny living room.

With….

"RIKU!" Sora squealed as he was suddenly pressed up against the wall, with Riku's gaze burning into his own. Sora gulped. "Uh… um… Riku…"

Riku's reply was to press his lips against Sora in a fierce, hungry, desperate kiss. Sora melted immediately, clinging to the front of Riku's shirt. Riku pulled away, breathing heavily and rested his forehead against Sora's.

Sora slowly opened his eyes, trying to catch his breath. "Riku… what are you doing…?"

"Well," Riku answered, leaning down to nip at Sora's neck and smirking at the strangled moan he got in response. "Since someone left me hanging in the bathroom," he lapped at Sora's pulse point, attempting to leave a mark. "You tease." He pressed his lips to Sora's again. "I'm a little bit… frustrated right now."

Sora slid down the wall and to the floor, with Riku right after him. The older boy pinned Sora to the carpeting, trapping Sora's arms above his head. "Therefore… I'm going to punish you. Hard. And repeatedly. Right. Now."

Sora whimpered. "But I don't want to be punished. I'd like to keep my virginity, thank you very much." Riku busied himself with lightly kissing Sora's earlobe, causing the younger boy to shiver. "Riku, are you listening to me?"

"Maybe. Why? Are you saying something important?" Riku murmured distractedly, one hand sliding along Sora's side to the bottom of his shirt.

"Riku!" Sora pouted, pulling one arm out of Riku's grip and smacking his hand away. "Pay attention!"

Riku blinked, pulling back a bit to look at Sora and releasing the brunette's hands. "Only one thing helps my concentration. So why are your clothes still on?"

Sora gave Riku a flat look. "Get off me, you hormonal pin-headed slave to your libido." He said in a monotone voice. Riku developed selective hearing and didn't hear the request. Sora sighed. "Riku—"

Of course, since Riku's attention was on slipping Sora's shirt over his head, anything the brunette said was lost.

"Geez, you two don't waste a moment do you?" Kairi's voice rang out from the doorway. Riku and Sora looked up to see the girl standing there with her hands on her hips and an amused expression on her face. "When I said that the living room was okay for molestation, I wasn't serious."

"Tell him that," Sora said, pouting. Riku got off of Sora and stood, giving Kairi a look that plainly said 'I am going to poison your Coco Puffs'. Sora, relieved and yet oddly disappointed, hopped to his feet. "Did you want something?"

"Yeah, I wanted my shoe back." Kairi walked over to Riku and raised an eyebrow. "I mean, what are you going to do with just one shoe, anyway? And, besides, they're my favorite pair."

"I'm going to sell your shoe on e-bay," Riku said flatly. "Twice today I could have gotten laid, and guess who interrupted both times?"

Kairi gave him a cute look. "Me?"

"Yes. You," Riku continued. "Therefore, I am selling your shoe on e-bay. And poisoning your food. Because, thanks to you—"

"My virginity is intact and I couldn't be happier. Bless you, Kairi," Sora said, grabbing Kairi's hand and pumping it up and down enthusiastically. "I will buy you new shoes for Christmas or something. Please, feel free to interrupt at any time."

Kairi laughed. "Sora, your entire body's screaming 'I want Riku so bad'. Why do you try to hide it?" She shook her head, pulling her hand out of Sora's grip and looking at Riku. "My shoe?"

Riku gave her a dry look. Kairi sighed. "Fine. Be that way. I hope you never get any as long as you live!"

Before Riku could say something, she'd dashed up the stairs. He turned, noticing that Sora was already snuggled up in his sleeping bag, facing away from Riku. He walked over, kneeling down next to the boy.

"Sora?" A snore was his reply. Riku blinked. "Damn, you can fall asleep fast." His amused look faded into a fond one as he watched the brunette sleep. Subconsciously, he brushed his fingers through Sora's messy hair. "You're just so… cute."

"…Chicken…" Sora snorted in his sleep. "Yummy."

Riku chuckled. "And you never cease to amaze me. I guess that's why I…" He paused mid-sentence, eyes widening.

What had he been about to say?

"I guess that's why…" Riku swallowed."I love you."
