A/N: So here we are. Part 5 of my Senses Arc. This started almost exactly a month ago. Funny how the last three basically sprinted out of me though, compared to the first two. Conclusion-y.

"Oh…Riku, we told my mom we'd do yard work for her today!"

"Sora, we promised my dad we'd paint the garage this afternoon."

"Sorry guys, I have to get going. Mom wants my room cleaned before the weekend is over."

And following quickly: "I'll sit with you while you clean…"

"So Kairi, what's our total for the week?" Sora asked as he and Riku sat with their best friend on the beach.

"I believe that would be twenty-six, only one of which caused suspicion because you both went the same way after giving two different stories. I covered for you, and still didn't sing."

"Shit, we completely forgot about that," Sora muttered.

"In our defense, it was the first time we came up with two separate stories instead of going together," Riku added.

"I'll give you guys that one…" Kairi admitted, laughing a little.

It had been weeks since she had become her best friends' accomplice. Now she sat on the beach comfortably, observing the two of them quietly as they sat side by side, Sora with his arms wound around one of Riku's and his head on the silver haired teen's shoulder.

"We trust you Kairi," Riku said, turning to look at the girl they had known for years. "We know you won't give us away."

"Besides, they're probably figuring it out by now, but there's no way I'm giving up the excuse game," Sora said grinning. Kairi laughed and stood up, brushing sand off her jumper. She gathered her shoes and socks, which had sat neatly next to the boys'.

"Okay, love bugs. I'm going home. I expect a new record next week, and no slip ups!" The two laughed as the red-head disappeared down the beach.

"Who knew we'd be singing a new tune just four weeks later."

"What do you mean?" Sora asked. He got up, stretching with a satisfied noise and dipping his toes into the incoming waves.

"You said we could've spent all that time making up lame excuses. Well here we are now; purposely meeting with Kairi after everyone else has gone home so we can get a progress report on how cheesy our stories are."

"Singing a new tune…" Sora rolled the phrase around in his head for a moment, chuckling softly.

"What now?"

"I can think of a few other new tunes we've learned over the last month," Sora smirked as he looked over his shoulder. Riku wasn't surprised anymore with the words his lover spoke. Whoever thought the boy was innocent must be crazy. His eyes trailed down, as they had so many weeks before.

Sora wiggled his butt a little, his new shorts bunching a bit at the sides as he put his hands on his hips as he turned to look at Riku.

"And you say I have a dirty mind," Sora said, rolling his eyes and turned back around to stare out at the sea. Riku snickered, kicking sand in Sora's direction.

"I have no qualms with that dirty mind; only when I end up injured."

"That was one time Riku, and your wrist was sprained for like, two days."

"It was a whole week!"

"No it wasn't! You claimed it was a whole week so I could follow you and carry your things around and we could get away from the group easier. I remember what that wrist could do by day four. There was definitely nothing wrong with it by then." Sora stared at Riku hard, waiting for his argument, but nothing came.

"Why do you always have to win?"

"The same reason I always top," Sora replied quickly.

"You're not coming anywhere near my ass now, Sora!" The older teen stated, crossing his arms and glaring.

Sora just laughed, apologizing and smiling and not regretting his words one bit. Riku just rolled his eyes and smiled back, admitting only in his mind that Sora's statement was entirely true.

Sora returned to Riku's side after his feet were pleasantly cooled by the water. Without even having to look he grabbed Riku's hand and twined their fingers together.

"So how is it Kairi knew we'd be doing it like rabbits if we didn't know how we felt about each other?" Sora asked as they watched the sun sink towards the horizon.

"No clue. I wish she would've at least given one of us a hint," Riku replied as he lay back, pulling Sora with him. He was silent for a few minutes, smiling when a warm breeze brushed over them. "Love you Sora."

"Love you too, Riku," Sora smiled over at him as he spoke. He scooted closer to kiss Riku softly on the lips.

The tide would roll in eventually, the sun would set, and a chill would start to spread across the island. But they watched the stars begin blinking into view one by one, unconcerned with anything in the world but each other.

Final Author's Notes: Ta da! I really hope everyone liked this. Thank you so much to everyone who stuck through it with me. The encouragement and support has boosted my self-esteem so much over the last month. PS- cookies to anyone who knows why I sprained his wrist. XD
