Okay, Hi guys! So I've got Chapter 2 here for you. Thanks for all the comments and follows! ^-^ It makes me really happy! :D So I hope you like this one too! No I do not own, nor do I claim to own, any of the KH characters.*

"Sora...Sora." Riku's voice echoed from somewhere far off. "Sora, wake up..!" Sora was jolted from his sleep by smacking into the hard floor of his room.

"What the hell?" Sora asked himself. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and saw Riku standing before him. "Riku!" Sora exclaimed excitedly.

"Hey Sora. Sorry I missed your call last night. I tried to call you back but you must have already fallen asleep." Riku reached his hand out to help Sora up but was pushed away by a very upset Sora. "Sora..." Riku said with a very hurt tone.

"Riku...you're lying! You came over last night! Why!? Why are you saying you didn't? Was it-"

"Was what?"

"Was...nevermind."

Riku kneeled and pulled Sora into a hug. Sora flushed by nuzzled against Riku's toned chest. He could feel Riku's heart beat. He looked up at Riku.

"Sora, what's wrong. Why are you crying?" Riku asked while wiping Sora's tears away. Sora only shook his head. "Your eyes are really pretty when you cry, you know that?"

Sora's head shot up. He looked at Riku with disbelief. "What? What did you say?"

"Your eyes. They look really pretty."

"Really? Everyone says so, but why?"

"People can say whatever they want but no one knows your eyes like I do. The brilliant blues that shine when you're happy, the ocean blues that could make a Heartless cry when you're sad, the firey sapphires when you're pissed. I've seen them all, evoked them all. I've studied them for years. So when people tell you that, they don't know a damn thing."

"Riku..." Sora stopped crying and looked up at his best friend.

"Yes, Sora?" Riku asked softly and slowly. He's eyes were caring but analytical, searching Sora's face, taking in the details he knew so well.

"Riku, I love you!" Sora shouted then buried his face in Riku's chest. Sora felt Riku's hand on the back of his head. From between sobs Sora heard a faint whisper.

"Wh-what?" Sora hiccuped.

"I said stop crying and listen," Riku repeated while rocking Sora. Gradually, Sora stopped crying. "Sora, you are an amazing fighter, a great friend, funny, smart (even though empty-headed), kind, happy, and all around amazing. We've been friends since I held you when you were a baby. But damn you can be oblivious."

"What do you mean oblivious!?" Sora pouted.

Riku lifted Sora's chin and gently pressed his lips against Sora's. "I love you too, dummy. I have for a long time."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Well..because of Kiari. Everyone thought you two...well, loved each other."

"I do love her. But not how you mean. You two are my world but you..I looked and looked for you because I love you Riku. Love you." Sora again started crying.

"So emotional, so cute," Riku said while holding Sora's cheek in his palm. He used his thumb to erase the tear that was trickling down. Riku kissed Sora again and Sora let him dominate. When the kiss broke Riku asked, "Sora, will you be mine?"

Sora smiled and excitedly agreed. "Can we go to the island Riku?"

"Anything you'd like."

Later on the island

Sora took hold of Riku's hand as they strolled to their favorite spot, not caring who saw. Riku hopped up on to the bent tree, his back at the bend, then helped Sora up to sit on his lap. They took in the beauty of the sunset over the sparkling water, they talked of trivial things, but mostly just enjoyed each others company.

"Hey look! It's Kiari! Hi Kiari!" Sora shouted, waving his hand wildly in the air.

"Sora! Hey, Sora! You're gonna knock us over! W-woah!" It was far too late for any warning as Sora's wiggling plunged the two into the salty calm of the ocean. Riku bobbed up and gasped for air. He floated, waiting for Sora to appear above the water so they could swim back to shore but Sora didn't resurface. "Sora! Sora!" Riku shouted frantically.

Sora swam just behind Riku then surged forward, sending him through the surface of the water. "Boo!" Sora exclaimed. He jumped on Riku playfully but Riku just shook him off. Riku looked serious and gestured toward the shore. Sora obeyed and began making his way to the sand. "It was just a joke," Sora pouted mentally.

Once both were on land Riku looked at Sora. He knew he felt bad for upsetting Riku but gave him a rap on the head anyway. Before Sora could whine, Riku pulled him into a tight embrace. "Never, ever, do that again. He had me worried Sora. Promise me I won't lose you."

"I promise Riku. It took too long to find you, I'm not letting you go now."
