Chapter 3

Riku slowly stirred to life. Urgh … what happened? Where am I? He looked around. Am I alone? "Welcome back. You fainted, so I had to bring you to bed." Sora spoke from the darkness. He turned on the lamp. Riku turned to see where the voice was coming from. Sora got up from his chair and approached the bed. His eyes had dark circles around them, his face was the colour of paper.

"Ahh …Sora, you alright?" Riku sounded worried.

"I'm fine, it's you that we should be concerned about." Riku thought for a moment, then remembered what happened earlier. Oh yeah …

"Umm … Sora, I know you're worried about me and all, but I don't want you to be depressed the rest of your life." Riku bit his lip. I wish I could be there with you the rest of your life, Sora. I want to be there, but I don't think I'll make it. Tears began to form behind his eyes. "I'm scared, Sora …I'm really scared … I d-don't wanna die. There's still so much to do in such little time. So much to do with you …and there are certain things I haven't done with you, things I won't be able to do because of 'it'. I don't want you to catch it from me. I … I don't understand why I have to suffer like this! What did I ever do!" he buried his face in his hands.

Sora knew what he was saying. He sat beside his silver-haired lover and with a gentle finger lifted his chin. "I would sacrifice my happiness, my health, my virginity, and my life for you, as long as it would make you happy. I don't care what happens to me. I love you too much to be selfish. You're the only thing in this world that matters to me." he smiled at his sick lover, choking back tears. Riku grabbed Sora's hand and held it. "I d-don't want you to get hurt." Replied Riku. "Well, I'll get hurt for your sake." Sora crawled on top of Riku, pressed their lips together, and reached down for his zipper.

Sora knew the risks. He knew them well. He knew this could cost him his health; or worse, his life. Riku was always there for him when he was sick, or sad, or needed a helping hand. He was always the first one to show up at birthday parties, and was always the one with the best present. Sora remembered that one time where he accidently fell into a pool and almost drowned, but Riku saved him and performed CPR in the nick of time. Riku was there rain, sleet, or snow. Now it was time Sora did something that he knew Riku would want from him.

It wasn't too long until they were both butt naked, panting and covered in sweat. Sora lay on his stomach, sighing deeply and smiling. Riku lay on top of him, gently running his fingers through the brunette's hair. Though now satisfied, he felt really guilty and scared at realizing what he just did. He quicky got off Sora (still butt naked) and reached for the phone.

"What are you doing?" Sora said with a confused look on his face.

"I'm calling the doctor and booking an appointment for you. You need to get a test done." Riku rapidly dialed his doctor's number.

"But …"

"But nothing. I wan't you checked out as soon as possible. Maybe you can be prevented from 'it' before it even begins to take over your body."

"Okay."
