Chapter 3. Riku's Musings (Riku POV)

-x-X-x-

As I walked down the street to my house I mulled over the events that happened in Sora's basement. The party was great and obviously an attempt to let Roxas have his way with Hayner while giving his brother some way to embarrass himself. I snorted at that thought; I wasn't so upset when Sora was picked for the dancing contest… WAIT. It wasn't a contest! Damn that Roxas… I swear if I see him again his head will be mine. Anyway… I was embarrassed when Roxas pulled my name out of that hat, but Sora didn't look like he was upset, he looked… Cute. Amazed at my wonderfully good singing voice. Hehehe, I am sexy and a good singer. Who would've known?

I opened our house's door after unlocking it and flung it closed. I stormed up to my room, ignoring my mother and father. I sat down on the edge of my bed and stared up at the ceiling. I had always been open with my parents (they knew my predicament) but now I didn't feel like talking to them. My mother would already know why I was up here and would tell my father, who would in turn come up here and talk to me. So I waited. And waited. And waited… Why weren't they coming! I growled and stormed downstairs to see why.

"HELLO! AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO COME UP TO ME AND TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED!" I screamed without much reason.

My father and mother exchanged glances and something passed between them before father spoke, "Well… If you wanna talk about it, I'm fine with that."

I turned away and flung my nose into the air, "NO! I DON'T" But before I knew what I was doing I was at the table spilling out my evening to them.

My father was clearly fed up with my denial of my feelings, and this was sure to push him over the edge. My mother was calm and patient as she always was and she listened intently. As soon as I was done my father rolled his eyes and my mother placed a petite hand on his should, "Cloud, I think you need to knock some sense into Riku." I was thoroughly shocked at my mother. But she was prone to outrageous outburst since meeting Sora's mom who was… very outgoing to say the least.

My father looked up at mother and nodded, "Alright, Aerith. Riku? Upstairs."

My mother watched us descend the stairs with a look of pride plastered on her face, to say the least I was scared. We entered my dull room and sat down on the old bed.

"Son… If you have feelings towards Sora it's best not to hide it. I know you are afraid of rejection but let me tell you something. Once upon a time I… had feelings for someone, no it wasn't your mother, we meat after this. Now the special someone was quiet and shy and very prone to trouble, and whatnot. I kept my emotions bottled up until I got a good talking to from my father. I went out to see her but found she had been kidnapped. I made a lot of enemies back then, and they had found out my love for her. She was taken away from me and I watched her die in the most horrible way…" He cut off here, his voice trembling. I looked up at my strong, emotionally challenged father and saw he was crying. I was truly scared now; my father NEVER cries, "after that day I realized that if I had told her sooner I would be with her then your mother. But, I'm not. And I don't regret that, I regret that my fears killed another. If I had told her I loved her, she would be alive and happily married to another. Just remember that."

I stared at my father, who seemed to regain control of himself. I thought long and hard about what he said, not noticing he had left. Maybe that would happen to Sora… maybe I would lose him, he was prone to trouble and kidnaps. I remember one time when the local bully stole him; I nearly destroyed the town searching for him. He was living in the town's tunnel system when I found him. He never did mention how he escaped the bully but it seemed to make him tremble.

Something that I hadn't realized wormed its way into my head: why didn't Sora faint during the intense party we had? I shrugged, flicking it away. Must've taken some pills or something…

I stood up and sorted through some random papers on my desk. I stopped and sighed, 'I gotta tell Sora how I feel… Not tomorrow, today. Maybe he's still up?"

I raced downstairs giving a faint 'Goodbye' to my folks before rushing to Sora's place. I hoped he'd be there.

(Sora's POV)

After the party I waited for mom to come home while watching TV. When she did I jumped out of my skin, "HEYLO HUNNIES! I'M HOOOME!" She said in a rather sing-songy voice. I settled down to see my brother's amused expression. I punched him and ran to hug my mom, "DIDJA BRING FOOOD!" She looked at me with the you-eat-too-much look and handed me some goldfish. I squealed and went to hoard them upstairs in my room. When I got there I locked the doors and started to savor them, "MMMH! Flavor blasted!"

I heard my mom screaming downstairs a few minutes later, "SORA YOU HAVE A CALLER AT THE DOOR! A handsome one at that…" We do a lot of screaming at my house.

I heard another voice groan and mutter something, by that time I was downstairs and glomping Riku. "Riku!" I squealed in my happy-and-very-excited-to-see-you voice. He blinked at me and I got off with a 'huff'.

Riku grabbed my arm and lead me upstairs, "Need to talk to you. Know. Move."

I rolled my eyes and let him drag me upstairs, wondering what we were gunna talk about.

(No POV)

Riku dragged the limp boy up to his room, closed the door and locked it. The brunet looked up at Riku with wide eyes, "Riku? Why are we up here…?"

Riku smiled at the youth's expression but regained his normal composition soon afterwards. "Because I need to talk to you," before Sora could say anything Riku launched into a long expression of his feelings for Sora, ending with, "and I love you Sora. I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way and if I've ruined our relationship… but I'm so SICK of keeping this bottled up for so long…" Riku smiled at the brunet and waited for him to say something.

Sora had a look of utter shock mixed with joy on his face. "Riku…?" Riku turned around and started to walk out before Sora pounced him, "Riku! Don't go! I have something to tell you!" 'Oh… shitake mushrooms…' He thought when Riku looked at him, "I… I love you too…" A huge blush flew across his face and he grinned.

Riku tackled the youth in utter joy and closed their lips in a bruising kiss. He broke the kiss and looked away, slightly stunned at his actions; he NEVER tackled or pounced anyone. The brunet looked at Riku fondly and caged his mouth in another kiss, this one lighter. Riku wasn't for light and roughly parted Sora's mouth to gain entrance. Sora moaned at the sudden force and explored Riku's hardened back. They broke away for air and looked at each other happily.

"Glad you decided to tell me, Riku," Sora muttered. Riku nodded, signaling his agreement. They moved to the bed and sat there for a little while, staring off into space. The brunet was curled on the elder's chest; obviously both were very tired. Soon after they fell asleep.

Downstairs, Yuffie and Leon waited for Riku to come down and say he was going home. It didn't happen and Leon grumbled something, heading for the stairs. Yuffie stopped him and whispered in his ear, "The house would be creaking dear, they're just asleep." Leon looked at his wife with an expression that clearly said 'and-how-do-you-know-and-why-should-I-trust-you?'. Yuffie just giggled, "Well, you can hear Sora snoring can't you!" Leon shook his head and tensed up, only slightly but Yuffie could still see it, "Liar. You can too!" She hissed at him. Leon grumbled but sat down again, remaining in utter silence. Yuffie sat on his lap, much to Leon's surprise, and stated plainly, "They're just sleeping, let them sleep. From Roxas's horrible lie I figured they were partying earlier today."

Leon wrapped his arms around his wife and sighed, nothing could make him melt besides Yuffie. Only she knew the way around his glare and silent demeanor.

Ah yes, it was too short to be a chapter so I fused 4 and 3 together to get this! I'll make 4 when I'm less tired.
