Chapter 6

Midnight Reunion

Arriving at the airport was hectic. Sora's mom was familiar with how the flight times worked, and the last flight out was in twenty minutes. She was dodging traffic like a get-away driver.

"Don't worry Sora," His mother said as she pressed the gas pedal to the floor to beat a woman to a parking spot. "We should make it their by midnight. At this point, Sora did not care. He was just excited to be seeing Riku again. They jogged to the front gates and skipped the bag checks as they had nothing with them which people found a bit odd.

"So, how much will this cost?" Sora asked.

"Don't worry about it. Wait for me by the gate to get on. I will get the tickets and everything. Here is money for food and a drink. Just go occupy yourself.," she told him handing him money. He nodded and walked another direction to the stores. It was a small airport. It actually only had two planes. Not to many people really came to this island because of how far away it was compared to the others. It took forever to get anywhere from here.

"Sora?" someone called. It was a familiar voice. Sora spun around to stare at the person. It was Rikku.

"What are you doing here?" Sora asked.

"I was supposed to fly out to see my grandmother this weekend and since we got sent home we decided to leave earlier. We were trying to get here as fast as we could since this flight was leaving so soon. Then this crazy woman nearly smacked into my mother for a parking space," Rikku explained. Sora realized that had been his mother and felt embarrassed.

"Interesting," Sora responded.

"So, are you leaving too?" Rikku asked. Sora smiled widely, excited to tell her what was happening.

"The greatest thing happened! I took your advice and told my mom. Well, she changed her mind about the whole situation. We are flying out to see them and she said she is going to convince his parents to let him stay!" Sora said nearly jumping up and down.

"That is awesome! So Riku will be back at school?" she asked.

"Yep! I can't wait to see him," Sora told her.

"Well, since we are both waiting for our plane, you want to go get something to eat?" Rikku asked.

"Yes," Sora answered. They walked to a restaurant that doubled as a bar and sat at a nice booth. They both stared at their menus.

"So your mom was okay with what happened?" Rikku asked her.

"Yeah. After told her about Riku she was so excited that I told her she disregarded the whole situation. "Yours?"

"Yes. She found it reasonable. Yuna's mom was pissed, though," Rikku told him. Sora felt a little guilty.

"Really?" he asked.

"Oh yeah. She came into the office and started screaming. It was kind of scary. I thought their was going to be another fight right there. The principal came out then after he found out one of the mothers was justifying his argument and made it worse. It was not pretty," Rikku said.

"I hope she didn't get into too much trouble," Sora said.

"It wasn't your fault. I'm sure Yuna would have done the same thing anyway. It was nice to shut that girl up finally," she said as she looked for a waiter.

"Coming ma'am. I am coming now. How are you both doing. You look lovely," he said to Rikku. "You two ready to order?"

"Yes," Rikku said shaking her head at his comment. "I will have a salad with French dressing and some kind of tea, surprise me."

"Elegant choice for an elegant woman," he said laughing slightly. "And you?"

"I want a cheeseburger with bacon and a Pepsi," Sora told him.

"Ha. I meaty meal for the strong lad," he said as he walked away with a pleasant smile. "Back in a quick second."

"He's working for tips," Rikku said as she fixed her hair which was down. She arranged it in a confused fashion.

"We have like ten minutes to eat," Sora said to her.

"Yeah, I know. That food better be coming fast," she said looking for the waiter. He came to give them their drinks and assured them their food was on the way.

"This soda is kind of warm," Sora said.

"My tea taste like water with a faint taste of paper."

"This place is awful. Can't imagine what the food will be like," Sora said.

When they got their food, the waiter asked several times if they needed anything and repetitiously refilled their drinks.

"So, how serious are you and Riku," Rikku asked.

"Umm...I don't know really," Sora said threw his cheeseburger.

"Have you kissed?" she asked.

"Umm...Hehe...Uh...maybe," Sora said nervously.

"Nothing to be embarrassed about," Rikku said.

"It's still kind of weird. Talking about it with people, you know?"

"I guess so. Shit!" Rikku said throwing down her fork.

"What?" Sora inquired.

"Plane is boarding," she said getting up. Sora handed her money for his meal.

"What about the tip?" Sora asked.

"Give him a nickel," she said smiling. Sora threw down a nickel.

Rikku paid and they walked to the boarding gate together. He found his mom speaking to another woman. The conversation was about how rude people can be as they walked up. Sora realized it was Rikku's mother.

"I mean, just a minute ago, some lady pulls up in front of me and steal my parking space. Isn't that awful," Rikku's mom stated. Sora's mother gave an awkward nod.

"Yes it is," she said, realizing it was her. "Oh, Sora. Is this Rikku?" she asked the woman.

"Yes. How funny, didn't realize you two knew each other," Rikku's mother said.

"Well see you later," Sora's mother said as she walked with Sora to the line. "Here is your ticket." He grabbed it.

When they arrived on the plane Sora gave up the window seat to his mom. He would much rather sleep. A stewardess gave him a pillow. As the plane made it in to the air, Sora fell asleep.

"What did I tell you," a voice called out from the darkness of Sora's brain.

"Huh? Oh," Sora realized what he spoke of.

"I told you there was a way. I knew you would not give up on me," Riku said as he came out of the darkness to sit with Sora.

"Well, I think I got lucky," Sora told him.

"No. You got smart. You finally let your feelings take over for once and not your brain," Riku told him.

"That is true."

"But you unfortunately fail to see the problem you created with the mismanagement of your feelings," Riku said.

"Problem? What problem?" Sora questioned.

"As I said, you fail to see it. Do you not recall the obvious fact that I did not want people to know about this relationship. Did you not remember how I wanted to avoid anyone seeing us in a romantic situation. Have you forgotten?" Riku asked. Sora put his hand to his mouth.

"Oh no. I told everyone we were...Shit. The whole school will know when we get back," Sora panicked.

"That's right. Perhaps running on feelings to long is not a good idea. As you can now see."

"Riku will be fine with it," Sora said. "I am sure he will understand. I don't think he will be mad."

"You don't. How can you be sure? After all, I am him," Riku said.

"You are not Riku. You are an annoying impersonator who seems to ruin my life with unreality. Images that are not real. As a matter of fact, are you not my brain showing these images?" Sora asked.

"Your brain? Your thoughts? Your feelings? Who's to say? But have I been wrong?"

"Enough!" Sora shouted as he awoke to someone tugging on his arm.

"Nearly there honey," his mother said. Looked like you were having a bad dream."

"Just thinking about Riku really. I'm a little nervous I guess. Hey mom?" he asked.

"Yes?"

"Why are you doing this. Why change your mind like this. It doesn't seem to fit what you said. To take such extreme measures to get here because you don't want to separate us," Sora told her.

"Well, that is precisely why I am doing it Sora. People may think some crushes can be gotten over quick. But that was not a crush. I could tell you loved him. And after finding out he loved you back, I know there is no getting over that. I know, because it happened to me."

"What?" Sora asked, never hearing this before.

"When I was almost out of high school, I met a man that I fell in love with. When we started to date, we realized we were perfect for each other. It was amazing. He was like the only friend I ever needed," she explained. Sora thought the same about Riku. "Then, his parents were divorced and his father won custody and he moved him right out of the islands. I could not live without him, so I thought. People would tell me I would be all right. Yes, I suppose I have gotten over the big stuff, but it still hurts. Your father and I got a divorce because of that reason Sora. Honestly, when I started seeing him, I thought to myself it would not work because I wanted my best friend back. It thought I was being silly and I was not thinking clearly. I assumed the relationship would work, but it was not the same. We had this wall between us that filled with major differences and problems. We grew apart and I let it grow because I wasn't sure I wanted it to work after we got married. When I had you it seemed like the only good thing about my relationship, but he did not share my feelings. He left soon after that. Maybe it wasn't that friend that left me, but I still believe it was. It was like tearing apart twins and hiding them on different corners of the world. They know they are missing something."

"I didn't know that," Sora said.

"I know. That is why I am doing this. I don't want you to jump into a relationship you do not want as bad as you want with Riku. No matter what anyone tells you, it will stick with you."

Sora thought about what his mother said. He had so much respect for her right now. He was truly glad to have her with him, to help him do this.

"We are here," his mother said. "Come on. It is nearly midnight already. I want to get to their hotel as fast as possible. Hopefully they are awake." Sora quickly stood up and filed out of the plane. They then quickly walked around several crowds of people to reach the exit.

"Where is the hotel?" Sora asked.

"Close. Should be that building next to the airport, but I can't see the sign. It's called Blue Moon Hotel," she said squinting as she walked until she saw the sign. "Aha! That's it."

They casually walked in as if they stayed there and she walked to the front desk to ask for the room number. They said they could not give it out so she had to authorize it by calling.

"There is a woman that claims-" the employee started. His mom grabbed the phone.

"Let me talk to them! Hello. Hey, how are you? Yes I am here. I need to talk with you. It is important. Is Riku up there? Oh. Okay, I'll be up in a minute. Bye. They said Riku was the arcade across the street. They said they were pretty sure he wasn't back. He kind of took off on them again. They gave him his own room, hoping he wouldn't but..."

"I'll find him," Sora said.

"Okay. Wish me luck," she said as she walked to the elevators.

Sora walked outside to the streets and saw a clock tower that read midnight. He started to walk across the street when someone called his name. He turned to look. No one. Maybe he heard incorrectly. It came again. He looked closely through the crowded streets. Then, through a gap of people, he saw him. Riku stood, with is silver hair blowing in the wind. There was a path to him through the people which he ran through. It was like a fantasy. It was unbelievable.

"Riku!" Sora yelled.

"What are you-" he was cut off by Sora tight squeeze.

"You are never going to believe this!" Sora cried out.

"What?" Riku said looking in shock still from the appearance of Sora.

"Guess what my mom is doing?"

"No. Tell me?" Riku said.

"She is going to convince your parents to let you come home with us!"

"What? You are kidding me? How?"

"I managed to tell her about us and she had to come get you!"

"Sora, I love you so much. You are amazing! I had a feeling you would do something," Riku said, hugging him again. "Let's go inside."

They walked inside and to the elevators.

"I still can't believe it," Riku said. "I can't believe you actually came here like this. You are the best friend I have ever had." Riku kissed him softly on the lips as they rode up in the elevator.

"I could not live without you Riku. You are like my counterpart," Sora said as they exited the elevator. Riku laughed.

"I guess so," Riku said. They saw Sora's mom pop out of the door.

"Oh. Sora. We are staying the night. This might take a while," she said quickly.

"You're not mad at me for telling my mom are you?" Sora asked.

"Hell no. It got you here to get me. I already told my parents anyway. It broke my mom into tears. She did not know about us. It didn't change her mind, but she at least apologized. My father hates me though. Looks at me like I am a psycho or something," Riku said, putting the key into his door and walking in with Sora. Sora felt relieved he was fine with it.

Riku closed the door and walked Sora in. It was a nice room. Large bathroom, Large living room. Sora looked at the bedroom and found himself being ushered in.

"So," Riku said as he took of his shirt. "If you are spending the night, we have a lot of time to catch up." Sora smiled.

"Yes we do," he agreed. Riku took Sora's shirt off and gently pushed him onto the bed. He caressed his skin softly. Running his hands up and down his chest. Sora felt relaxed as his warm hands massaged his skin.

"I love you, Sora," Riku said as he lowered himself on top of him. He kissed him on the lips and held it there, joining tongues with Sora. They slipped their tongues back and forth in each others mouths, sharing equally. Riku pulled out and began kissing down his neck. Sora was running his hands through Riku's hair that he had dreamt about for so long.

"Mmm," Riku said as he licked the skin on his neck causing Sora to moan gently. Riku went farther down now, kissing down his chest until he reached a nipple. He licked it sucked on it for a little while Sora grasped his firm shoulders and upper back.

Riku moved down and started to undue Sora's belt, looking up to make sure there was no objections. Sora did not object. Riku unzipped Sora's jeans and pulled them down. Sora sat up and kissed Riku again, running his tongue into his warm mouth. He let his hands wrap around Riku's body and down to his butt. Sora then undid Riku's pants and Riku helped remove them.

Riku lowered Sora back down and kissed his forehead. He went back down past Sora's stomach and caressed Sora's inner thighs before tugging on the waistband of his boxers. He slowly revealed Sora's growing erection that fell back near Sora's stomach, waiting for action. Riku tossed the boxers on the floor. Riku massaged Sora's penis with his hands, working from the shaft down. Sora moaned in pleasure.

"You are going to love this," Riku said, lowering his head down to Sora's fully erected cock. He took one lick before putting the entire thing in his mouth. Sora felt the intense pleasure of a warm tongue moving around his penis. Riku's tongue flipped over the tip of Sora's cock causing Sora to moan loudly from the feeling. Riku was now moving his head up and down as he stared into Sora's eyes to see his emotion. Sora began to buck up his hips gently wanting the pleasure more and more. He felt himself coming close to climax as Riku started to go faster.

"Riku! Oh...Riku!" Sora yelled. Riku enjoyed to hear Sora in such a position of gratification. Sora exploded into to Riku's mouth and Riku pumped it out with his hand.

"Well?" Riku asked smiling.

"Riku, I love you so much right now," Sora said.

"You want to try?" Riku asked, wanting Sora to do the same treatment on him.

"Hell yes! I've always wanted to see your cock!" Sora admitted without hesitation. Riku laughed as he laid down. Sora gave him a kiss before starting to remove his boxers. He pulled them down and Riku's penis was visible. Sora stared at it like it was a lost artifact. "Wow." Sora massaged it a little and quickly put it into his mouth. Riku made similar moaning sound of pleasure. Sora let his tongue wrap around the sensitive skin. It was so soft and it felt so good. Sora sucked on it, loving to hear that Riku was getting so much pleasure from it.

"Sora, faster. Go faster," Riku said. Sora smiled. He started to suck much faster as he kept one hand on Riku's eagerly bucking hips and the other hand to aid him in holding the erected cock in his mouth. Riku gave a final loud moan before Sora felt a burst of cum shoot into his mouth and squirt onto his tongue. He swallowed it, loving the taste of his friend.

Sora climbed on to Riku and kissed him passionately, sharing any cum that was left in his mouth with him. Sora then laid beside him and wrapped his arms around his broad chest as Riku covered them up. He wrapped his arm around Sora and caressed his side with his other hand.

"Thank you Sora," Riku said. "Thank you for coming for me."
