Chapter 20: Another day gone by
Sora and Riku had somehow found Cloud and Leon, although the older couple was under some heavy kissing and petting, and Riku dragged Sora away believing that what they were doing was a bit too much for Sora's "virgin eyes".
"Ha, ha." Sora sarcastically said as he glared at Riku.
"Sorry? Trust me, if we had stayed there they might have noticed us, then that wouldn't be any fun."
"How come?"
"Look, I think that not only did Cloud and Leon knew each other, but had a relationship too. But Cloud left the island for almost three years without so much as a letter… I think. Either way, it would be better if they got along again. Leon was really nice when Cloud was around, so when he left, I think he was the most heartbroken. He even broke ties with Yuffie, although he never liked her in the first place." Riku explained.
Sora nodded. "I see."
------------------------
"That looks like fun…" Fluffy said, watching his new friend swim. Making sure nothing could be seen, the brunet sat at the edge of the island, looking down into the clear waters while holding the robe down with his hands.
"It is. Won't you join me?"
"I don't know how to swim." Fluffy stated. "And I wouldn't like to get the robe you gave me all wet…"
"Come on, it'll dry! Just jump and I'll catch you." Bunny replied as he laughed.
The young prince stared at him for a bit before deciding to trust him. He pushed himself off the island, holding the robe down as he fell right into Bunny's waiting arms. The brunet sighed. "Well, at least I know that you'll catch me."
"Of course! See? You can trust me. Anyway, let's swim." He said as he grinned and slowly placed Fluffy into the water, the brunet circling his arms around the other's neck to hold on. "Don't worry, I'm here."
------------------------
Sora woke up, looking around the dark room, letting his eyes rest on Riku's sleeping face. He then looked up at the alarm clock on the bedside table, twitching when he saw the hour.
"It's freaking 3 in the morning." He whispered, as he comfortably cuddled closer to Riku.
The silver haired teen opened his eyes to look at Sora. "Are you okay?"
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Had another dream, and woke up too early…"
Riku softly stroked the brown locks. "Go to sleep then. I'll be here for you if you need me."
Sora nodded, softly dozing off. "Thanks, Riku…"
------------------------
Sora opened his eyes and looked around. Riku was still sleeping by his side. With a large yawn, Sora got off the bed and walked into the bathroom, leaving the door open as he usually did. While taking a bath, Riku joined him, sticking his head under the faucet before brushing his teeth. Sora noted that he wasn't paying attention at what he was doing until he almost stepped into the bathtub in his PJ's.
"Riku!"
"Huh?" Riku snapped awake, blinking as he looked around settling his eyes on Sora. "Oh, good morning Sora."
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's Sunday."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"I usually sleep the whole day away on Sundays."
"Then why are you awake?"
"Because I can't leave you alone. Besides, I rather go have some more fun with you before we have to face school tomorrow."
Sora looked at him quizzically. "You're acting funny, Riku."
"I am?"
"Yes, now go and let me take my bath alone."
Riku turned around, walking out the bathroom before walking back in. "Hey, did you know if Cloud came home last night?"
"Huh? Um, no, I don't know… dad should know."
"Hmm. Kay, thanks. Oh, and, by the way, those bubbles don't exactly cover anything." Riku said, walking back out, Sora glaring at Riku with a full blush on his cheeks.
------------------------
"Dad, did Cloud come home last night?" Sora asked, stuffing him mouth with another spoonful of cereal, Riku eating in a more calm pace.
"Cloud? Yeah, he did… brought a friend of his too. I didn't know Cloud had friends here." Sion replied, sipping his coffee, sitting across the teenagers.
"He brought Leon with him?" Sora asked Riku, who shrugged.
"I think that was his name." Sion sighed. "I couldn't sleep all night."
"Ewww!" Sora quickly exclaimed. If they could kiss with that much passion, what could stop them from doing anything else? Sora shuddered at the thought. "Thank God I sleep like a rock."
"Didn't stop you from waking up at 3 in the morning." Riku commented, ruffling Sora's hair.
------------------------
I want to believe in the light I've found that day
because there is one promise that
I've exchanged with you
I want to continue walking without stopping
like how I bite into a ripened fruit
I spoiled my weak self
the blue sky that is left for us
those days that I took that for granted
Sora pouted. Riku had said that he would help him with a game he hadn't exactly finished, but all the silver haired teenager had been doing until now is play with Sora's hair while singing something before falling asleep with his head on Sora's lap.
"Sora?" Sion called as he entered the room.
"Yeah?"
"I'm going out for a bit, so if any of you gets hungry you can snack on a few things downstairs while I return."
"Kay. See you later then."
Sion nodded, leaving the room, Sora turning off the game so he could nap as well.
------------------------
"I can't believe you fell asleep!" Sora scolded hours later once they were woken up for lunch.
"What? I told you I sleep the whole day away on Sundays." Riku sighed, softly stroking Sora's locks.
Sora purred, moving his head so Riku's fingers pressed harder into his hair. Riku slightly blushed, grinning at the cat-like antics Sora was suddenly showing.
"Why is Sora acting like a cat?" a sudden voice asked, both teenagers looking at the door surprised.
Standing there, looking more asleep than awake was Cloud, leaning on Leon who was practically sleeping on the doorframe.
"Did you two sleep last night?" Sora asked, tilting his head in wonder.
"No, we were too busy for that." Cloud replied, yawning.
Riku quickly covered Sora's ears. "Don't say anything more! Think of poor Sora's virgin ears!" he exclaimed, laughing.
Cloud quickly smiled, trying very hard not to burst out laughing. Leon walked away talking Cloud with him, Sora pouting as Riku lowered his hands and Cloud burst out laughing all the way down the stairs, Sion wondering what was so funny at 2:37 in the afternoon. Sora ran off into the hall.
"Just because you're my brother, doesn't give you the reason to laugh at me, Cloud!!!" the brunet practically screamed, everyone stopping whatever they were doing to stare at Sora, who looked mad.
"Wait… brother?!" Cloud asked with wide eyes.

-- Author's note --
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to take this long! Well, classes are over, but I still only have Mondays and Fridays to use the computer so that doesn't exactly give me enough time to finish this. Plus, I managed to defeat my little writer's block so I could finish it, but even so, I got lazy and left most of the day in blank because I didn't feel like writing whatever happened in between. Um, Merry Christmas? Oh, and, just to add it all up I'm sick, and I'm playing Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. I'm sho happy.

Well, nothing I guess. Everyone can tell what's probably going to happen next. Cope with me, I'm trying as hard as I can though!
