"I forgive you.."

Sora halted his crying. He got up, wiped his tears, and saw Riku standing on the edge of his window. "Huh?" Sora questioned.

"You said that you were sorry and I forgive you."

"Riku.. What are you doing here?" he whispered.

"I was planning on running away. You know, to clear my mind. I was successful, but it wasn't until today when my feet had a mind of their own. They started to move and before I knew it, I was in front of your window..." Riku said, "It's rather chilly outside. Mind me inviting myself in?" He entered through Sora's window and jumped across his bed.

"Not really...?" Sora trailed off.

Riku then pinned Sora to the wall to make sure that he would hear every word that was spoken.

"Riku, what are you---" Sora questioned before he was cut-off.

Riku covered Sora's mouth with his hand.

"I know that I have asked you this question before, but I have yet to receive an answer from you.." The silver-haired boy began.

Sora then pushed his friend's hand aside.

"Riku, please.." Sora pleaded.

"No Sora. Please listen to me. You have been neglecting this problem for way too long.. So now I am going to ask you.." Riku continued, "Why have you been avoiding me?"

"I haven't been 'avoiding' you!"

"Yes you have!"

"Quiet.. my mom's going to hear you.."

"Oh, sorry..."

Sora sighed and he stared at the floor. Trying not to make eye contact with the older boy.

"Look Sora... Is it because you don't feel the same way about me, and.. And you can't accept that a guy has feelings for you? Is that it?" Riku beckoned.

Sora stayed silent.

"That's it isn't it?" Riku murmur are he released Sora.

"Then I'll just disappear from your life. Like you want me to.." Riku added.

As Riku walked towards the door, Sora cried out to him, "That's not true! I love you Riku.. Please don't leave!" Sora bawled, "It's just that.. Well.. Isn't wrong for a guy to find another guy attractive?" Realizing what he had just said, Sora covered his mouth, slid down with his back against the wall and stared at the floor.

Riku approached Sora and knelled down. "It's okay if you find a guy attractive..." he paused to put his thumb on Sora's chin to lift his head up. "..as long as that guy is me." he concluded. The silver-haired boy then gave his young friend a soft innocent kiss.

After a short while, Riku broke free from the kiss. He wiped Sora's nose with a tissue. Sora blinked a little confused.

"You were crying earlier... You taste a little salty.." Riku said.

"What did you do that for? We were having a moment!" Sora bellowed, "..and were did you get that tissue?"

"Eh... I don't know." Riku grinned and the two boys laughed.

Sora's P.O.V.:

"..and that's how our misunderstand finally cleared up."
