Ch. 4--Snowed In

A/N: This chapter is majorly based on a Soriku collab with ~Rolloz from deviantART, so that's why it gets better about halfway through ^^ But we changed it a little to fit the story.

"God, Riku, I'm so sorry," Sora said breathlessly, running into the cafe to find Riku talking to a tall, blonde man. "Oh. Sorry, sir," he mumbled, bowing to Luxord, who had an amused smile on his face.

He extended his hand to the brunette. "Sora, I presume? My name is Luxord. I'm the owner of this cafe." Sora gratefully shook his hand, then glared at Riku, who was chuckling.

"Thank you so much for the job, sir," Sora continued, following Luxord and Riku into the back room. "All right, I'm about ready to pack up and leave. Riku, since I already went over everything with you, I'd appreciate it if you'd show him around and explain to him what I told you."

The silver-haired boy nodded, taking hold of his boyfriend's hand and waving to Luxord with the other. "Sora." He said, turning to me once our boss had walked out of the cafe. "I told you I'd take your shift today. Why'd you come down?"

Sora blushed, his cheeks turning the color of roses as he leaned up against Riku's chest. "Well, besides the obvious reason that it's my responsibilty," he murmured, "I missed you."

Riku melted inside, but he only allowed a smile to grace his lips. "Yeah, but still." he mumbled, placing a kiss on his boyfriend's lips. "I missed you, too."

"Okay, then... follow me for your 'tour' of the cafe..." Riku said, walking towards the

kitchen with Sora following. "So.... this is where you cook the food and make the drinks..." Riku told his boyfriend. He showed Sora around the whole cafe.

"Well, I guess that's all," the silver-haired boy said, taking Sora's hand and heading back into the main room. "Can you make me some hot chocolate?" Riku asked Sora, who nodded and headed back to make it.

Riku yawned and curled up in one of the plush chairs placed around the cafe, exhaustion overtaking him; having gotten up early to take on both his and Sora's shifts. His eyelids slowly closed, and he was asleep within moments.

"Kay, Riku, your..." Sora cut off immediatly when he saw his snoozing boyfriend, placing Riku's cup of hot chocolate on top of the woodburning stove, keeping it heated as he carefully sipped his own, burning his tongue in the process. "Crap..." he mumbled, gently touching his singed tongue to his teeth and wincing.

Another snore came from the chair where Riku was curled up, looking quite warm, and Sora tiptoed over to it. "Riku?" he whispered, making sure the boy was asleep.

"Riku? You awake?"

When he didn't get a response, Sora timidly climbed into Riku's lap, pulling a blanket that was draped on the arm of the armchair over both of them. A smile came onto Sora's face as he snuggled into the silver-haired teen's chest, his head falling onto Riku's shoulder. Their body heat soon warmed up the small space between the chair and the blanket, and Riku wrapped his arms around the small boy in his lap.

"Sorry, Riku," Sora murmured, kissing the silver-haired boy's neck lightly. "I didn't mean to wake you up." He shivered as he finished his sentence; the air had grown colder, and Riku pulled it up over their heads, enveloping them in a cocoon of warmth.

"Are you mad at me?" Sora finally asked, breaking the silence.

"Why on earth would I be mad?"

Sora fidgeted. "Well...I dunno....'Cause...cause I'm supposed to be working and...instead I'm sitting in your lap, I guess."

Riku chuckled, holding his boyfriend tighter. "And you think I'd be mad about that?"

"l mean....You came up here ready to take both shifts and I'm here now, and I'm not even working, and--"

"Are you trying to make me mad at you? Because it's not working." Riku chuckled, looking down at Sora, though he could barely see anything since the blanket filtered out most of the light.

"No..." Sora replied, barely in a whisper, then shivered again. "Still cold?" Riku asked, and Sora nodded against his chest. "Yeah...It's freezing in here!" he laughed, snuggling closer against Riku.

Riku smiled in the darkness. "I have an idea to keep you warm," he suggested coyly, and Sora cocked his head to the side. "Oh yeah? What is it?" he asked.

"I'm not telling."

"What is it? Tell me!"

Riku took Sora's face in his hands and kissed him until he could feel the brunette's pulse racing. "There. That's my idea."

Sora was sure his face was bright red, and his lips still tingled from where Riku had kissed him.

"I'm still cold," Sora informed his boyfriend. "Will you kiss me again?"

"You don't have to ask, silly," Riku replied, leaning down and silencing whatever else the boy was about to say by gently biting Sora's lower lip, and Sora's heartbeat sped up as he eagerly opened his lips and let Riku's tongue enter his mouth.

Riku suddenly pulled away as his cell phone vibrated, groaning at being made to stop kissing Sora. "What is it?" he growled into the phone. "Oh. Luxord? Sorry. Didn't know it was you."

He suddenly yanked the covers off of himself and Sora, looking outside the window. "Crap!" he hissed. "Really?! No, we didn't. Crap, crap, crap." He listened for a few more seconds, then snapped the phone shut.

"What is it?" Sora asked curiously, looking adorable with his rumpled hair and face flushed from kissing.

Riku sighed. "We're trapped here. For the night. Luxord called to let me know that all the roads are closed due to the blizzard, and was checking to see if we got home."

Sora grinned and pulled Riku back down on top of him, kissing the boy again. "So? We can have fun here, too." he murmured, and Riku smiled into the kiss.

"Got that right," he replied, only pulling away long enough to say it, then kissed Sora again.

A/N: Awww, aren't they precious? Since this isn't only my writing, I hope I don't sound stuck up for complimenting it ^^ Review? Thanks!
