Notes: A dream of Riku sneaking around with the little kitten Heartless on his head sparked this. Was too cute not to do. So… prepare for complete silliness. Also… so seriously behind. I so suck.

Kingdom Holidays
June 8th: Best Friends Day

Sora pounced on the bed, jostling both the sleeping boyfriend and newest member of the family. Both of which were sleeping. "Wakey, wakey."

Riku let out a groan as he pushed the brunette off him. "Sora! It's summer." He grumbled. "When the hell are you going to let me relax and sleep in?"

After being woken, Heartless had simply curled back up and closed his eyes. But the voices kept him from drifting back to sleep. He opened his yellow eyes, stood up, and stretched.

Sora smiled brightly as he bent down to sweep Heartless into his lap. "I only woke you to tell you I'll be out all day. Kairi and I have a date today."

"A date? Turning straight on me?"

"Fuck no. It's a friend date. To celebrate Best Friends Day."

Riku rubbed at his eyes as he pulled himself up into a sitting position. "Best friends?" He repeated with a yawn. "With Kairi?"

"Yeah. The whole day."

"But…"

"So you can have a Sora-free day here at home. Sleep however long you want. So… got to run! Kairi and I are leaving early. She should be waiting for me." He picked Heartless up from his lap and set him in Riku's. "Love you. Bye!"

Riku's mouth dropped open as he watched the brunette bounce out of the room. Then with a snort, he leaned back on the pillows and pulled Heartless up on his chest. "How do you like that? He goes off with Kairi and leaves me here to sleep! It's so not fair!" He looked up as he heard the front door open and close. "I thought we were best friends."

Heartless tilted his head to the side as he watched his human. His gaze settled on a lock of silver hair that fell on Riku's chest, just a few inches from him. Narrowing his eyes, Heartless leapt and pounced on the hair.

"Shit!" Riku pried the tiny claws off and dropped the kitten on the bed beside him. "No claws." He said as he wagged a finger in the cat's direction. "But you do have a point… we should stalk daddy today. See what he and auntie Kairi are doing on their date without me. Maybe you could pounce on Kairi. You won't get in trouble for scratching her today." Riku pulled the blanket off and climbed out of the bed. "We better hurry though. Don't want to lose out chance to follow."


"You look nice, Kairi."

The redhead smiled as she pulled the door shut and pranced down the stairs towards the brunette. "As usual." She stuck out her tongue and grabbed his arm. "Now… let's get going. I'm starving."

"Well… the movie doesn't start for a while so we have nowhere to be until it does."

"Good. Because we have an appointment to make."

"Appointment?"

"At the salon."

"Salon?"

Kairi nodded. "Called last night. We can get manicures and pedicures and get our hair done."

"Uh…" Sora tilted his head as he thought about it for a moment. "You won't tell Riku, right?"

"Oh of course not."

"Well…" Sora grabbed her arm. "We better get going then."

"Breakfast first. I'm dying!"

Sora laughed. "Okay. First stop… the diner."


"Reow?" Heartless pounced on the strap of the bag Riku was rifling through. Then his attention turned to a discarded pencil that was rolling along the top of the table. But when he pounced on that, it rolled to the edge and fell off. Heartless bounced after it.

"Careful." Riku grabbed the kitten before he made it off the table. Then he latched the bag and slipped it on his shoulder. "Don't want you to fall and get hurt. Sora will have my head." He turned towards the window and peaked out. Sora and Kairi were gone. "Damn. Come on Heartless. They probably headed to the diner."

Heartless climbed up Riku's shirt and perched on his shoulder.

Riku rolled his eyes as he headed for the door. "So now you're a parrot?"


Riku and Heartless followed Sora and Kairi to the diner and watched from a booth on the other side of them room until they finished. The pair took forever to finish their breakfast. Then the stalkers followed the pair to the beauty salon and notes were taken to tease the brunette later for that. The movie theater came next where the stalkers hid in the back row, watching the movie. Then a stroll through a few stores. Last, Kairi and Sora left the shopping district and walked down the street towards the arcade.

"Sora… he is not scary!"

Sora crossed his arms and glared at his redheaded friend. "He's big, he's green, and he's mean. And his ear things are funny. And his diet is disgusting."

"This come from someone who made oysters and plays with snails."

Sora stuck out his tongue. "I still stand by what I said. Shrek is scary."

"It's a kid's movie, Sora."

"Kids are silly."

Kairi laughed as she latched onto Sora's arm and stepped closer. Neither noticed the glaring stalkers following them. "And you, my dear, always surprise me. You can't seriously be 19."

"Hey! I am too! I am very mature for my age."

"You are not.'

"Are too."

"Arguing with me is the perfect way to prove you're mature."

"Oh don't you start. You're as bad as Riku. I'm not a baby!" He pulled away from her and turned slightly to pout. He forgot her and his momentary sulking as he caught a flash of silver ducking into the ice cream shop they just passed.

"I never said…"

"Kairi… I think we are being followed."

"Followed?"

He grabbed her hand and towed her back down the sidewalk.

The shop was small. There was the counter and a hallway beyond but that was for employees. There were a few tables but the large glass windows were a big problem. Not a single place to hide. Riku let out a sigh as he spied an angry Sora through the window, pointing at him. "Don't say anything, Heartless." He said as he headed for the door.

"You followed us?" Sora glared at Riku before turning to smile at Kairi. "I have to take these guys home and yell at them. Sorry for cutting our day short."

Kairi giggled slightly but nodded. "It's fine Sora. I had fun. We'll have to do it more often." With a sly smile at Riku, she lent closer to Sora and placed a kiss on his cheek.

Riku glared at her as she disappeared into the arcade. "Does she have to do that all the time?" He crossed his arms and shook his head slowly. "She's too touchy with you. You're mine."

"Yours? I'm not a fucking object you can own!"

Riku was slightly thrown by the brunette's anger. "No, you're not an object. But… you belong to me and I belong to you. Two halves to a whole."

"Okay… that's sort of a very sweet and romantic thing to say so remind me later. But right now… I'm angry at you. And you too." He stepped closer and wagged an accusing finger at Heartless. "You are just as bad." He spun around and started off down the street. "Home. Now."

"Oh I shouldn't have listened to you." Riku said, poking a the kitten who was still perched on his shoulder. "You are such a bad influence."

"Reow."


Sora held the door open for Riku and then slammed the it shut after him, causing the taller boy to flinch. "How long were you following us?"

Riku turned and bit his lip as he saw the anger on Sora's soft face. "Uh… all day…"

"All day? All fucking day?"

"Well… yeah."

"Why?"

"Because you were out with Kairi."

Sora rolled his eyes. "After everything we've been through you really think I'd sneak around with Kairi behind your back? That I'd cheat on you?"

Riku shook his head. "No. I was just teasing this morning."

Sora crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly. "Then why?"

"Because you were with Kairi." Riku repeated. "Alone."

"Yeah."

"Without me."

"Yeah."

Riku rolled his eyes and sighed. "We're best friends, Sora. You and me." He pointed at Sora and himself as he said it. "Always. Kairi was the tagalong."

Realization hit Sora a second later. Riku was jealous that Sora insinuated that Kairi was his best friend. He started laughing then and soon was unable to control himself.

Riku watched with confusion as Sora doubled over and struggled to breed. "Uh… why is that funny?"

Sora got himself under control and held his hand out for Riku to help him up. Once he straightened himself out, he smiled and threw his arms around Riku. "You are so much more than my best friend. I can't expose what we are to a day simply about best friends."

Heartless batted at one of Sora's spiked locks of hair as he got closer. He was oblivious, as always, to what was going on.

Riku let out a sigh as they pulled apart. "I'm sorry Sora. I guess… I just get a little… jealous of her."

With a smile, Sora grabbed Heartless off Riku's shoulder and gently tossed him in the air before flipping him over and tickling his stomach. His eyes were on the small cat when he spoke. "Kairi was just a passing crush. I got over her when I realized I might not ever see another friend of mine again. He pushed all thoughts of her, and anyone else, out of my head and my heart." He bent down and set Heartless on the floor, who scampered off.

"You know I love you, right?"

"I don't think you say it enough."

Riku smiled. "You should go meet up with Kairi. Pretend I didn't interrupt you."

Sora grabbed his hand. "I have a better idea. You should join us."

"No more trips to the beauty salon, I hope."

"You mention that again and you're sleeping on the couch."


Notes: Seriously. Cute imagery. Yes, very rushed and I apologize. Going to attempt to get these caught up.
