--Riku Side--

Riku woke up to some giggling. "Wha-?" he sat up groggily just as the boat tipped a little. He bolted straight up, holding onto the railing of the fairly large boat, with a motor mind you, trying to figure out just exactly where he was. "Where—?"

Just then his voice was cut off "Good morning, Riku! It's around 9am and we're near Hollow Bastion" Riku looked up towards the voice to see a pretty girl who was around 19 or 20. Mel smiled down at him and he sat up groggily.

"Ok, Riku. This is going to be a very serious talk!" she said trying to sound serious but failing miserably. "I let you get off the hook last night, but now you have to tell me! What is your relationship with Sora Makiriho? I tried to squeeze some details out of Rain-Chan but she won't give any details!"

Riku turned his head to see a chill axing Rain on the other side of the deck, she was drinking a sprite and smirking as Riku sweat-dropped.

"Come on Riku-San!" Rain said trying not to laugh. Riku had stopped wondering why the called people by their names and then added a "-Chan" or "-San" or something or other.

"In fact, we're were supposed to be at Twilight Town around five this morning, instead we're taking the long way around so you can tell us your story! So come on and tell us!" Mel said trying to give Riku a stern look.

Finally, Riku gave in and told his story, which took longer than he expected because they kept interrupting and asking him questions, but surprisingly he didn't get annoyed, he just laughed at their pestering questions and answered them.

When he was finally finished he glanced up at the clock and nearly choked on air (which he didn't think was possible.) "Its 11:38am! How did it get so late?! And where are we anyway?" he asked slightly panicking.

Rain just rolled her eyes and looked up at the map. "We're near Halloween Town, another hour and we'll be there. Calm down!"

Riku sighed in relief and he leaned back against the railing of the boat. He looked up and saw the big, white clouds passing by, floating into a million different shapes.

The silver haired dwelled in the silence, after an hour of talking about his life's story, he was exhausted. He laid back down on the side under the railing and curled up. Thinking about Sora, wondering what he was doing and how he was doing.

He sat up after ten minutes, he couldn't sleep and as he was going to ask Mel what time it was he saw her conversing with Rain and suddenly he felt scared for his life.

Maybe it was the way they gave him evil looks or the way their eyes glinted mischievously or maybe it was just the way they were talking, down and whispering, giggling evilly. He gulped suddenly scared for his manhood and his life.

"Um…what are you two talking about?" he asked nervously not sure he wanted to know.

They both hid their smirks so quickly that Riku wondered that he ever saw them. "Welll… since we're going to get there early, around 12:00pm that is. It's just enough time for you to get new clothes and a new makeover, something that will knock Sora off of his socks!" Mel said, pumping her hand up as if to say, "YEAH!"

[{[A/N: yes…sorry we're a bit OOC!! It's not our fault!! Welllll…IT'S NOT MY FAULT! Ok maybe it is but… I CAN'T HELP IT!! –pout-]}]

Riku sweatdropped, wondering what he had got himself into when he talked to that ticket girl last night. "Oh boy…"

--Sora Side--

Sora sat staring at the clock, wishing he could be something. The bright blued eyed teen was bored out of his mind and he needed something to do. Sora groaned as his thoughts went back to Riku. "He's probably on his date with her right now…" he mused.

"GACK! I'm thinking about him again!" he sighed and hit his head against the kitchen table in Cloud's and Leon's house.

The older brunette was surprisingly nice to Sora, considering how mean he looked when he saw Sora in the morning. Cloud had failed to tell him last night Sora would be staying with them, because Cloud had fallen asleep on the couch in the living room watching TV and Leon hadn't bothered in checking the guest room.

But after a few chats and accusations (Leon actually went as far as accusing Sora of having sex with Cloud, which of course, they were both appalled to hear) they finally got everything worked out.

Cloud came in as Sora lifted his head again and banged it against the table.

"Hey, hun, I don't suggest you do that." He said as he walked through and opened the refrigerator and took out a Coke.

"Did you want one, hun?" he asked and took out another one, handing it to the frustrated brunette.

Sora shook his head, "No thank you, Cloud. I just kind of want to do something…" his voice trailed off as his thoughts wandered back to Riku. "I wonder what he's doing right now…has he broken up with her… Does he miss me?"

The teen sighed and banged his head against the table again. He looked up at Cloud, "Hey, Cloud?" he said curiously.

Cloud who was currently drinking his Coke, stopped, taking the can from his lips, and asked, "Hmm?"

Sora took a deep breath and let it out, "When you weren't with Leon…and you liked him…did you ever think about him constantly? I-I mean, you know? Like when you guys weren't boyfriends—" his voice cut off as Cloud laughed.

The younger gave him a look, "Wha-what?" he asked his blue eyes wide. Cloud just looked at Sora again and laughed, his laughter coming out melodious.

"It's nothing, Sor-kun…it's just…yeah. When I wasn't dating Leon my mind was constantly going back to him. Wondering what he was doing. How he was holding up with his other boyfriend. Wondering if he missed me or if he wondered about me. Stuff like that, it happens to everyone, hun. Trust me, it happens to everyone." Cloud said confidently.

Sora gave the blonde a smile.

"What are you thinking about? A certain boy named…hmm? Riku, maybe?" Cloud said teasingly and Sora blushed a deep red.

"N-no…I me-mean I was! But um… no…" Sora blushed even deeper (if that was even possible) and just smiled at Cloud, "I was just thinking that maybe one day it will be like that with me and Riku." [{[A/N:and yes I know it's supposed to be "Riku and I" but that sounds so plain and boring. REBEL!!]}] But then Sora sighed, "Yeah…right…" Sora said his gained confidence from Cloud draining.

"Like that will ever happen…" Sora sighed out. Cloud just gave him a sad smile, "You never know, hun. It just might…like maybe tonight? It could happen…"

Sora gave Cloud a small, pained smile, "Thanks…but I already know…"

Cloud just gave a knowing smile and then promptly walked off in the direction of the Usual Place.

--Riku Side--

-Two Hours After Arriving at Twilight Town-

"RIKU-SAN!! COME BACK! WE ONLY HAVE ONE MORE OUTFIT FOR YOU!!"

"Hell no! I'm not coming out! It's almost 3pm! I've been trying on damn outfits since we got here!! I'm hungry, tired, and I want to see Sora!!" the aqua eyed teen shouted from inside the dressing room.

He heard two sighs then a, "Fine but let us see what you're wearing!! We want to see how you look!" a voice said that sounded vaguely familiar to Rain's.

"Ugh! Fine but if you throw one more damn outfit at me I swear I'll fuc—" Riku was cut off by a different voice saying "Riku-kun! There are little kids in here!"

Riku just sighed then came out of the dressing room. He sighed again as the girls looked him over from head to toe, they had gone through this procedure about eighteen times already and he was ready to just pick an outfit, put it on, and go see Sora, but of course the girls wouldn't let him.

"Hmm…you know Mel-Chan…I think we've finally found his outfit…" Rain said slowly. She turned to Mel who looked him over once more than seeming to agree, nodded quickly.

Riku looked down at himself; he hadn't even noticed what he was wearing. He just put on the clothes that they had given him and then walked out to see what they said. Well, at least that was what he had been doing for the past seven outfits.

He was currently wearing black skinny jeans with a chain connecting two of the loops. He had on a tight, bright, green, neon shirt that read in black "By the time you are finished reading this you will have realized you have just wasted 5 seconds of your life" showing off his figure and six pack. He was wearing checkered Vanz and two checkered wristbands, one on each wrist. He wore a black dragon necklace and two silver rings on his left hand.

"Wow…Riku-kun…you look hot." Rain said matter-of-factly. Riku just laughed then stopped as his stomach growled. He looked up, "Now can we go eat?!?" he said, making all three of them laugh.

--Sora Side--

Sora looked at himself in the mirror, "One hour and thirty minutes till I go on…" he mumbled to himself. "…and one more day till I see Riku again…and one more lifetime till I tell him I love him…" he added.

He was getting already, not the make-up yet but everything else. He didn't want to be rushing while he already had a crowd.

Sora straightened out his clothes. He was wearing tight, dark, blue, skinny jeans with black Vanz and a dark orange hoodie. His hair was already spiked all he needed to do was add gel.

He gave himself another look over once more before walking out the make-up room and walking down the hall towards the Usual Place.

The opening to the Usual Place from Cloud and Leon's house was connected to the stage, so when someone came out of their place they would find themselves near the back, stage right on the stage.

As he walked in, he gazed around, he had only seen the inside of it on the internet and now as he studied it, he thought it was a lot bigger than in those pictures. It was also a lot bigger than the places that he had performed in on Traverse Town and Destiny Islands.

As he looked toward the end of the stage he saw Leon conversing with Cloud. As Cloud turned his smile brightened when his eyes landed upon Sora, "Hey, hun! Come over here!" he called, waving Sora over.

Sora hesitantly made his way over to the cheerful blonde and his overprotective boyfriend. "Hey Cloud…" he said slowly.

Cloud and Leon smiled at the small boy. "So Leon thinks that if you go over your song a couple times you will loosen up a bit. Do you wanna give it a try, hun?" Cloud asked.

The young brunette just nodded, still a bit fearful of Leon. Leon handed him a mic. "Here kid, don't worry I don't bite. Sorry about this morning." Leon said softly.

Sora, despite of Leon's apology, was still wary in grabbing out and taking a hold of the mic.

He gripped it and then turned walking towards the middle of the stage. He turned towards the empty place and took it all in.

It had places where people could sit and have food from a little diner on the side. The door was on the left side; there were some benches alongside the wall covering most of it. Pictures of people who had sung in the Usual Place hung on the walls and the walls under those pictures were painted yellow and brown.

As Sora looked at Cloud as he heard the blonde say something from across the stage from him, "Those two colors are representetives of me and Leon [{[A/N: Leon and I…whatever]}], you know hun! Our hair colors."

Sora just nodded and then turned back to the empty tables, breathing deeply and when he breathed out he sang softly into the mic a soft and angel-like voice coming out.

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humor like I do

Xxx

--Riku Side--

Riku sighed as they were walking towards the Usual Place early, "And why do I have to wear this over my shirt, again?" he asked for the umpteenth time, pulling at the checkered hoodie.

Mel sighed and repeated her previous answers "Because Riku-san if you wear the hoodie over your head for the beginning of the song then you can take it off and surprise him during the ending of his song; and besides, its' much more fun this way!" She said.

Riku groaned, "Ugh! Why can't I just go in there ravage him where he stands and then confess my undying love for him? That's so much easier!"

Rain walked up next to Riku, "Yeah, but where's the fun in that? Don't you want to remember how you told him how much you loved him? Don't you want to tell your kids and grandkids where you met you hubby? Don't you want to tell them where you met their Aunty Rain-Chan and Aunty Mel-Chan?"

Riku smacked his head, his aqua eyes closing shut from the world as he wondered for the 26th time that day what he had gotten himself into. "Um…NO!"

Rain pouted and she fell behind again, walking in back of Riku. As around the corner they saw a long line of people waiting outside of the Usual Place.

"Wow…Sora is really popular…it's not even 4:00pm yet and he's already got a line…" Riku muttered.

Mel gave him a nudge, "Yep! So if you guys get married then look on the bright side, Riku-kun, you will be married to a rock star!"

The silver haired boy just breathed in and out, trying to think about what he was doing. "Wow…I'm really going to tell him…" he said under his breath, the realization just hitting him.

Mel and Rain gave each other smiles as they hear him. "Well you can only give it a try and see what he does but als—" Mel was cut off as they heard a voice saying,

"Listen up, Kids! I know you want to see Sora but please could you not bang against the glass door that is very expensive! Thank you!"

All three of them looked down the line to see a very frustrated blonde who was trying to back off a couple of guys.

"So? Who are you? You don't have the right to say anything to us!" one of them said, trying to start something with the blonde, who only glared at him.

"My boyfriend owns the Usual Place and we can have you kicked out if you start anything." He said back, not at all afraid of the taller, more buff man.

Just then Riku sighed, "I'm going to stop this, I don't want anything to ruin Sora's day." He walked up towards the guys who were now fighting with the blonde.

"Hey! You can't do that! I paid good money for those tickets!" he said glaring down at the blonde.

"Yes, well, we own the Usual Place, where Sora is singing, so we can have you kicked out, and no, it is not illegal" The blonde said back.

Riku suddenly stepped in between them before it got any worse. "Hey, dude!" he said to the taller, "back off! Just stop banging on the door and listen to him!" the aqua said nodding his head at Cloud.

The buff man just growled at Riku, "And who are you?" he said threateningly.

Riku just groaned, "You don't need to know! Just stop trying to start something that's not there and wait for the time to open the doors!" Riku growled back, finally feeling tired of all the shit this guy was starting up.

"Hmf" was all he got out of the man, as he turned and began to talk to his friends, as if nothing had happened.

The silver haired turned back to the blonde, "Hey I'm sorry about that guy, I'm pretty sure he was harmless, are you ok?" Riku asked him, suddenly feeling uneasy at the way the blonde was staring at him.

Suddenly he asked, "Are you, hun, by some chance named…Riku?" At Riku's widening eyes, the blonde grinned and said, "I KNEW IT! Just by your silver hair and aqua eyes! Sora's told me so much about you! I bet you came to see him! Aw! I knew you would! I told him you would! Oh, I'm just standing out here talking to you! I bet you want to see him, right?! Aw he's going to be so overjoyed! He couldn't stop talking about you! Come in! Come in! This way! Through my house!" The blonde said energetically, not even stopping for breath.

Riku laughed at the man's energy, "Um…sure, but I brought some friends and I don't want to tell Sora that I'm here, yet! I kind of wanted to confess to him, when he was done singing his song."

The blond stared at him then burst out in a grin, "Sure, hun! Come on and get your friends and we'll come in. You can stay in the back of the U.P. while he's singing the beginning part and then while he's getting to the end take off your hoodie and then walk on the stage and ravage him to death! Well at least that's what I'd do in your situation, hun!"

Riku just laughed as motioned for Mel and Rain to follow the blond into his house.

--Sora Side--

"Wow I didn't know there would be so much people!" he said to Leon. Leon grinned at him, "Yep, like I told you over the phone your pretty popular over here!"

Sora grinned at the older brunette, "Wow and it's only to hear me sing one song…" Leon smiled, "Well not completely, at the end of every show Cloud and I do a duet together and people come by to see that as well."

Sora's mouth dropped open to form an "O" as he stared at Leon, "I didn't think you or Cloud could sing!" He said incredulously.

Leon laughed then looked up at the time, "Well kid this is where I tell you farewell and good luck! Oh, and remember one thing, no matter how many people are out there, have fun! And if you're nervous act like your singing for one person, namely Riku, but yeah…that works, too." And with that Leon walked out into the stage.

"Hey guys how are you guys doing out there tonight?" he asked his voice suddenly sounding like someone not scary.

As Leon did the introduction, Sora breathed in and out trying to calm his nerves, he remembered what Leon said, "Performing for an audience of one, eh?" he repeated to himself, just as he heard Leon say, "Now for who you guys came out to see, Sora Makiriho!!" The crowd erupted with cheers.

Sora walked out and waved his hands at the crowd, "Hey guys! What's up? Well, this is my first time performing in Twilight Town and I hope it's not the last! And this is a song that I really felt was close to me so I decided to sing it to someone, even though that certain someone isn't here today HE wasn't able to make it, but this is still for him." he grinned and paused as the crowd erupted again. "So I'm going to be singing a song entitled You Belong with Me by Taylor Swift, and many of you know this song. Taylor is an American and she recently got a MVP award for the best music video for this song. So please sit back and enjoy while I sing You Belong with Me."

He nodded towards Leon, who was at the sound system, who pressed a button and soft guitar music came out of the surrounding speakers.

Sora swayed his hips back and forth to the music and waited for his cue.

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humor like I do

He looked out across the audience and saw only one person, sitting in the front table, and he smiled. "Riku only for you"

I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do

He scanned out in the audience and caught a boy's eye. Eyes. They were aqua, no way, only one person in the world had aqua eyes like that, and they belonged to Riku Utada. Sora blinked then blinked again but just kept singing. His mind was playing tricks on him, making him wish Riku was here.

She wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up to find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time

Sora tried to look everywhere else except for the aqua eyed boy in the checkered jacket, but his eyes kept on drifting back to him. "It's just the lights, there to dim…I'm seeing things. You're seeing things Sora! Wake up! You're singing here!"

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Despite his thoughts, his face betrayed none of his feelings or emotions, and his voice was clearer than any angels…if angels could pull off country music.

Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isn't this easy?

Sora's mind went back to Thursday, the day he had spent the night, and how they had just walked to Sora's house and talked.

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

By that verse Sora hated Kairi, she was the reason why Riku wouldn't smile anymore…well only when he was around himself…but that wasn't the point! Kairi took everything away from Riku…

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up to find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

Sora began to sing his heart out into the next verses, "Why can't you see Riku!? I know you're not here but…I want to change them anyway!" Sora thought [{[A/N: yes I know I constantly do this in all of my stories…where someone changes the lyrics to fit the scenerio or the name or whatever but you know what? I CAN'T HELP IT!! It's just a habit]}]

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
KU BELONGS WITH ME

Sora suddenly saw the boy in the checkered jacket stand up and slowly make his way towards the stage.

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know baby?
You belong with me
Riku belongs with me!!

Sora continued to sing, but now his eyes were completely focused on the checkered jacket dude who was almost to the front of the stage, people were moving aside for him; Sora had a feeling who it was , but he didn't change the lyrics back to what they were, he just kept singing them.

Oh I remember you coming to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when I know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. Riku I know it's with me

Sora stared at Riku's aqua eyes, as he took off his hood and looked up on the stage, straight back into Sora's blue ones.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
Ku, you belong with me

All Sora saw was Riku. Riku. Riku. Riku. His hair, his eyes, his shape, his mouth, his ears, his everything. Just Riku, and that's the only person Sora was singing to. He reached down, holding out his hand to Riku. Riku smiled and took his hand, climbing onto the stage. As Sora still singed, Riku wrapped his arms around Sora's small waist and pulled him closer, smiling.

Standing by here waiting at your back door
I hope you know baby
You belong with me
You belong to me

Sora smiled now pointing to Riku every time he said "You."

You belong with me!
Have you ever thought just maybe
Riku belongs with me
You belong with me

As Sora finished, Riku closed in and kissed him. All the noises, the crowd erupting, two random girls in the front of the stage whooping for Riku, Leon and Cloud cheering, and the ending of the music, faded for the two boys.

All was left was the noise of each other, as Riku stared deep into Sora's blue eyes and smiled, then he leaned forward and whispered into his ear, "I love you, Sora."

Sora barely remembered:

a. Bowing

b. Giving the mic back to Leon

c. Entering Cloud and Leon's house

d. Walking into the guest bedroom.

Sora curled up on the bed next to Riku, who was lying on his back. Riku smiled softly at his new boyfriend and softly played with his hair. "Riku?" Sora asked quietly.

"Yes, love?" he asked, wrapping his arms around Sora's waist again.

"Did you mean that? That you loved me…" Sora asked looking up into aqua.

Riku smiled and then leaned down and captured Sora's lips. "Yes…"

"How long have you…known?" Sora asked his bottom lip jutting out.

Riku laughed quietly, "If you stick that out, Sora, I just might take it." Sora's eyes widened and he stuck his lip back in again, trying to glare up at Riku, "You still haven't answered my question, Riku!" he said accusingly.

The older silver haired chuckled, "I don't know…it's probably been there forever…it just took me forever to figure out…oh and babe?" he asked.

Sora shivered at being called "babe" then said, "Yeah?"

"I broke up with Kairi…it turns out she was cheating on me…but it's ok I dumped her like the stupid sack hole she is…I don't even know why I dated her…when I had what I was looking for right next door." He smiled and placed a kiss on Sora's forehead.

"Hey…you know I heard your little change in your lyrics, Ra? Ra? Babe?" Riku looked down to see Sora fast asleep in his arms.

Riku smiled and then placed another kiss on his forehead, he would get him later for saying "You belong to me." He laughed quietly and then slowly drifted off into sleep.
