"They are so cute!" Sora gave a happy pout.
"Aren't they?" Zexion agreed.
"Babe!" Demyx whined. "I want to be cute with you too!"
"Yeah? Let's take a nap. I could use some sleep after such a crazy day." Zexion sighed.
"Ok sweetie." Demyx smiled as he curled his wolf body into a half circle and let Zexion's cat body snuggle into it. Roxas had pulled his body out from under Axel's snout and instead crawled onto the red wolf's back and up his body, resting on Axel's head as the wolf opened his exhausted and slightly sorrowful eyes to look up, greeted by big round oceanic orbs.
"Meow." Roxas greeted cheerfully. Axel made a small whine before he closed his eyes again, symbolizing that he wanted to go back to sleep. Roxas began to purr quietly as Sora grinned.
"Absolutely adorable." The brunette squeezed Riku's hand as tightly as he could.
"You guys want a bed too?" Demyx asked the couple as Zexion purred himself to sleep.
"Actually, I was thinking," Riku started as he looked to Sora.
"Yeah?" Sora wondered curiously.
"Well, what if we went back to my place?" Riku shrugged.
"For, for what?" Sora knew exactly what Riku was thinking, but he knew he had to force his wolf to say it if he ever wanted to hear such words from the silverrete's mouth.
"To, you know, mate," Riku coughed in a whisper.
"To what?" Demyx asked for Sora.
"To mate." Riku took Sora's hand and caressed it gently.
"Ok." Sora gave a shy smile.
"Thank you both, for your help. I'm sure we'll be back here real soon, if that's ok." Riku smiled as Demyx nodded his wolf head.
"Sure, anytime."
"Be safe." Roxas called out as Sora gave a single confident head nod.
"I hope you feel better soon." Sora knelt down by Axel and gently kissed his snout. Axel opened his eyes and licked Sora rather weakly as Sora smiled. "Good boy." Sora gave another peck before he stood up, waved goodbye, and left with his boyfriend.
"We have to be more careful." Riku said under his breath as he and Sora walked briskly back to Riku's house.
"I know we have to make sure to hide we're dating, but as long as we can make up for it when we're alone or with Axel, Roxas, Demyx, and Zexion, well, I think I'll be ok." Sora remained positive as Riku locked his bedroom door.
"I'm glad to hear that baby." Riku said as he held Sora's narrow hips in his hands. "I love you." The silverrete whispered before he stole the brunette's lips.
"I love you too." Sora said when he first got the chance after such a deep kiss.
"My parents won't be back until late, but we should try to take advantage of our time as best we can." Riku said before Sora agreed quietly. "Would you like to start in bed? Or maybe, after what happened today, we can start by taking a relaxing bath together?" Riku proposed and Sora couldn't deny such a tempting offer.
"I'd rather take a shower; is that ok?" Sora gulped.
"Of course. And this time, I'll scrub every inch of you." Riku smirked playfully as Sora bit his lip in anticipation.
Riku rinsed his boyfriend off as Sora stood shyly with his hands over his parts.
"You ok? Is it too hot? Too cold?" Riku asked as he used his palm to rub the soap off of Sora's chest.
"Tickles," Sora squirmed as Riku ran his fingers across his nipples.
"Yeah? You like it?" Riku asked teasingly as he moved his hand more aggressively.
"Yeah," Sora whined with a hard swallow.
"Me too," Riku grinned as he continued his actions a bit more.
"Mm," Sora inhaled deeply as his eyes closed up until Riku moved his hands down to Sora's bubbly ass. "Nya!" Sora gasped in shock as Riku squeezed.
"Fuck," Riku dropped the shower head carelessly before he kneaded Sora's muscle in his rough hands.
"Ah," Sora whined as Riku pinched without mercy.
"God I love your ass." Riku whispered huskily as the shower head sprayed water all over the steamy glass walls.
"Ri-Ri," Sora trembled, unable to even say Riku's name as he went on tip toes.
"Yeah? You want me to reach better?" Riku smirked, having Sora right where we wanted him before he spanked him.
"Eh!" Sora's body naturally thrusted against Riku's.
"That was cute." Riku admired before he spanked Sora again just to watch the brunette's body jolt.
"Riku please!" Sora begged ambiguously.
"What would you like my dear?" Riku asked sweetly as he gently pecked Sora's ear.
"I, I," Sora huffed, unable to talk as Riku slowly and teasingly made out with his left ear. Riku's tongue was controlled as his lips smooched so tender, it was painful. Sora's fingertips went red as he clung to Riku's slippery shoulders, trying to hold on as best he could as his fingernails began to mark their territory.
"Oh god," Riku hated to admit that he loved the sharp mild pain that Sora subconsciously inflicted. "I want to mate with you right now." Riku pulled back to look Sora in the eye.
"Me too." Sora gulped, more nervous than he cared to confess.
"You want to do it in here, or on the bed?" Riku asked as Sora bit his lip.
"I kind of want to lay down." Sora whispered as he looked to his toes which curled in his embarrassment.
"Then let's go lay down." Riku picked up the shower head, turned off the water, and got a towel to dry off.
"Thanks." Sora smiled when Riku ran the towel over his head rapidly to dry off the brown messy hair.
"You are so cute." Riku smiled back before he finished drying off both bodies. The two retreated to Riku's bed, lying with their eyes right by each others so that they wouldn't have to deal with the social awkwardness of blatantly staring at other body parts.
"I love you." Sora smiled as he kept his eyes focused on Riku's.
"I love you too." Riku put a hand on Sora's waist.
"Riku?" Sora asked quietly.
"Yeah?" Riku sat up, taking the moment as an excuse to glance his eyes where they pleased.
"I, I don't know how to start from here." Sora sat up as well, keeping his hands folded in his lap as he peeked at Riku's length. They had seen each other naked countless times before during transformations, but this was the first time with the plan to mate.
"Well, we have to get ourselves aroused, and enjoy each others company while connecting in the most intimate ways possible."
"That, that doesn't sound too hard." Sora gave a shy smile as Riku chuckled.
"Well we need to make it hard for it to work." Riku winked before he pulled Sora into his arms and made out with him. Sora put his arms around Riku's neck and tried to keep up with his tongue as best as he could. Riku moved his hands to Sora's hips, holding them possessively as his tongue pushed as far as he could. Sora gulped uneasily, liking the attention but not the potency of it. He wanted soft love making with pecks and reassurance while it was clear that Riku was going for the kill like a wolf on the hunt.
"M!" Sora flinched at the fangs that Riku didn't notice he had used.
"Mmm!" Riku moaned as he pushed his tongue harder against Sora's throat.
"Cgh!" Sora coughed as he gulped, wanting to push Riku away so he could breathe properly and so that he could be reminded that he had a tongue, which was being swirled and sucked all at the same time. Riku held Sora's head in place as he began a motion which felt like having his mouth being eaten from the inside from Sora's perspective. Sora cringed as he felt those fangs again and when one scrapped his tongue, he let out a scream. "Ah!" Sora shouted with Riku still in his mouth before the silverrete finally pulled back.
"Sora?" Riku asked before Sora let out a cry.
"Owww!" Sora rushed his wrist to his mouth, tasting blood and not for the first time thanks to Riku's fangs.
"Baby I'm so sorry," Riku was quick to apologize and rub Sora's sides gently.
"I, I," Sora inhaled with a sniffle as he tried to calm his overworked mind and body down.
"Shhh," Riku chanted relaxingly.
"I can't mate with you Riku." Sora shed a tear as Riku froze.
"What?" Riku wanted to swallow the lump in his throat, but he couldn't muster the strength to do just that.
"I can't." Sora started to sniffle with tears steadily falling.
"Wh-why-why not?" Riku could only ask in disbelief.
"You cut me carelessly when all I wanted was a single kiss and you wouldn't let me breathe! Imagine if you had yourself inside me! For our first time?" Sora asked in a hypothetical rage. "I don't want it to hurt more than I know it already will." He said hesitantly. "I can't mate with you because you're too careless Riku!" Sora let out a sob as he screamed.
Riku didn't speak. He couldn't speak. Couldn't speak, couldn't think, couldn't move. He just took a bullet to the chest, a knife to his throat, a rejection from his love.
"I'm sorry," he managed to utter the words after a small uncomfortable silence.
"I, I don't want to even kiss you." Sora wiped his eyes as his lower lip shook grumpily.
"You don't have to." Riku said quietly as he tried to suppress his sadness. He knew he was much stronger and had needs that Sora couldn't understand as a cat, but he never wanted it to reach such an extent.
Sora didn't say anything as he swallowed down his hurt, hating just how pained he was to see Riku looking so defeated.
"I'm sorry." Riku repeated quietly before he got off of his bed, turned his back to Sora, and went to his closet to look at clothes to dress himself with.
Sora shook his head before he steathfully walked up behind Riku and put his arms around Riku's naked middle as best he could.
"I'm sorry I yelled." He buried his nose into Riku's back.
Riku sighed before he turned around and hugged Sora back. "I don't want to hurt you."
"I, I want to mate with you. I really do. I just hate feeling like you aren't in there." Sora playfully tapped Riku's temple.
"I can't imagine how scary it must be for you." Riku sympathized.
"What, what is it like, for you?" Sora asked curiously, his round eyes showing that he was truly interested in hearing Riku's response.
"Well," Riku shrugged with his arms around Sora just as Sora still had his around Riku. "I just feel connection…and all I can think about is deepening it, with you. I, I don't really feel much else." Riku actually chuckled as if he had just come upon such a realization so suddenly. "I feel pleasure but not like sexual. It's, it's like a bond. I, I want to release my inner animal and I want to do things for you that I know you wouldn't understand." Riku looked off to the side, a bit ashamed and disappointed all in one.
"What kind of things?" Sora titled his head.
"Well, for us wolves, when we want to find a mate, we have to show that we can take care of them. We want to prove that we can feed them and house them and defend them. Protect them." Riku nodded. "So naturally, I want to just transform into my wolf mode and, well," Riku thought of a best way to word his thoughts. "You know when we watch the animal channel and they fight for the one they love, and the winner gets the prize?"
"Yeah." Sora nodded.
"It's like that." Riku shrugged.
"But you don't have to fight anyone for me." Sora smiled sweetly. "You already have me."
"Not yet. Until we mate, I'll only feel like I've been half selected. I, I think it's my animal instinct. And I can't mate with you until I can prove to you that I am strong enough for you. It's why I get so intense and so," Riku sighed. "So careless." It went quiet as Sora failed to think of encouraging words. "I just want you to feel my strength, to see just how dominate and virile I can be, to protect you. I want to display my all, not to brag, but to assure you that I am a mate with having." Riku said as vulnerably as he could.
"I never thought of it that way." Sora nodded in acknowledgement. "It's like the animals who roar or who show bright feathers, to highlight their best features." Sora smiled to show his acceptance, causing Riku to smile shyly in return. "I, I find your muscles and your bravery to be very admirable." Sora ran his hands down Riku's biceps.
"They're for you, if you would take them." Riku offered. "Anything you ask of me, I will do for you." Riku said humbly.
"I want you to," Sora started before he thought with a snap. "I got it!" He smiled wide.
"What is it?" Riku asked, ready to chase his own tail, something he had always refused to do, if Sora would just say the word.
"I want you to go into your wolf form. Go ahead and do whatever your inner animal tells you to. I'll watch and let you know if I think you are worthy of mating with me. If you are, then we can mate as humans." Sora looked up to Riku.
"And if I'm not worthy?" Riku had to ask.
"You always were, and always will be." Sora hid his face into Riku's chest as he squeezed another hug.
"I love you." Riku smiled hopelessly, glad Sora couldn't see just how weak he had gotten to know he had a second chance.
"I love you too." Sora took a step back as Riku cleared his throat.
"So, shall I uh, shall I start?" Riku wasn't even sure of what he was going to do, but he knew once he transformed, his inner wolf would take control.
"Yes please. I'm going to sit here on the bed." Sora announced as he sat cross legged with a pillow in his lap.
"Right," Riku nodded to himself before he took his wolf form.
Sora watched a bit nervously before Riku crouched in his wolf form, eying Sora as if he were prey. Sora gulped, wondering if he should keep quiet the entire time or interact at all. He decided to just watch patiently as Riku showed off his quality by growling, barking, pouncing, and displaying his truly beautiful and rare silver fur. Sora was more than shocked to admit just how much he liked watching such a display, and he felt like he could finally understand Riku and the needs that this wolf had. After Riku had jumped on the bed with a defensive barking episode, Sora opened his arms.
"I chose you, Riku, to be my mate." He welcomed the wolf who crawled into the embrace and plopped into Sora's lap. "Oof! You're heavy." Sora giggled as he wriggled the pressure off of his thighs.
"Can I mate with my kitty?" Riku asked as he pressed his snout against Sora's tummy.
"Yes." Sora said, a bit scared.
"I will be careful." Riku whispered as he transformed and pecked Sora's lips softly. "I promise you I will not hurt you." Riku's voice was so calm and controlled, it turned Sora on just to hear such masculinity in Riku's words.
"I trust you." Sora confessed as he laid down to prepare himself.
"I have a fresh bottle of lube; I can use every last drop if it'll help!" Riku smiled desperately.
"I'll be fine." Sora smiled back, thankful that Riku was being considerate.
"Here, let's stretch you." Riku squirted just enough liquid onto his fingers and slowly slid one inside of Sora. "How's that feel?" Riku asked.
"A bit cold." Sora gulped as the sloppy lube squished inside him.
"Really? It's so warm inside you." Riku grinned before he delicately placed another finger inside of Sora.
"Eh," Sora held one of his thighs as he panted.
"So nice and warm." Riku smiled before he pecked Sora's nose. "How do you feel?"
"I'm ok." Sora's cheeks went red.
"Are you in any pain?" Riku asked before Sora shook his head. "Ok, let me know if this hurts." Riku put his ring finger inside, totaling to three.
"More lube," Sora whined.
"Of course," Riku pulled one finger out at a time as slowly as he could before he added more lube, rubbing it up and down Sora's hole before he pressed inside of it.
"My body feels warm," Sora gasped, his chest climbing for air as he enjoyed such bonding with his boyfriend.
"Too warm?" Riku paused his fingers to ask.
"No, no I want you." Sora made eye contact with Riku. "Please?" He asked, wanting to make it official.
"Once I go in, that's it Sora." Riku warned seriously. "I only take one mate, for life. I want that mate to be you, but you have to understand, once we seal the bond, you are my mate until I die." Riku said cautiously.
"Be my one mate? My protector?" Sora asked as Riku smiled.
"Anything you ask for." Riku kissed Sora's forehead. Since wolves only take one mate, there was no need for a condom as Riku pumped himself with lube. "Alright, let's put this inside," Riku gulped, his heart rate accelerating any speed he had ever before known. His body was already beginning to perspire and his mind was traveling faster with more thoughts than he could keep up with. The second he pressed his tip inside, he let out a giant gasp like pant before he howled in a way Sora had never before witnessed. Riku's eyes closed as his neck extended with his head tilted back, his animalistic call being sent out to all within its large range. Sora shivered in a mild fear before he gulped. When Riku finished his howl, his eyes shot wide open as warmth surrounded his tip and shot all the way up his body, into his wolf brain. He could feel it. He could feel his inner animal begging to be released. He wanted it. He wanted to go in as deep as he could. He wanted to be as one with Sora as he could. With all of his might, Riku forced all of himself into Sora, up to the hilt, causing the brunette boy to scream loudly in a horrified pain as Riku's eyes closed, his jaw dropped, and his arms that held up his torso shook.
"Ooowwwwaaah!" Sora kicked a leg as his muscles tore. "Riku! Riku! RIKU!" Sora screamed, aware that something was happening to Riku that he couldn't explain. Riku's head was hanging low as if he didn't have the strength to keep it up. His shoulders were deep as his forearms flexed. With Sora on his back, watching in fear, Riku panted deeply.
"Riku you're hurting me! You're HURTING ME!" Sora lifted a fist and smashed it onto Riku's shoulder. Riku quickly jolted his head up and when he made eye contact with Sora, the cat froze. He saw what Riku couldn't see, but could feel. While Riku was still in his human form, his eyes had transformed to his animalistic form. Sora held his breath, in too much pain to do anything else as fear overcame his body. He was paralyzed as Riku's wolf eyes stared at him, clearly in control as Sora forgot to breathe.
"Sora?" Riku whispered before he shook his head, causing his normal human eyes to reappear. The brunette boy was so shocked and terrified and still in so much pain that his over exhausted body passed out. "Sora!" Riku pulled himself out and tried to wake up his love. "Sora? Sora! Oh, oh no, no, no!" Riku wept as he cradled Sora as gently yet passionately as he could. "I'm so sorry." He blubbered weakly. "Sora I'm sorry!" he shouted, wishing Sora's unconscious body could hear. "I love you." He sniffled. "I love you." Riku laid hopelessly for ten minutes with Sora in his tight embrace before he cleaned up all traces of their actions, included the droplets of blood that leaked Sora's entrance before he dressed both himself and his still sleeping boyfriend. He knew he had one option: to carry Sora back to the one house where he knew he could get the help he needed for Sora, and for his relationship.
Author's Note: Ok, as much as I want to just end this story already, I guess it will still have another chapter or two. I keep saying "The next is the last" but then I end up writing more and more and I don't know why lol. To be honest it will end very soon though, as I need to take a break from writing altogether. I just have so much going on in my life and I have hit such a bad spot in my life where I loathe the very idea of 'love' and so its actually a bit painful for me to write such stories. Like I said when I first announced I would be going on hiatus, I'm not sure how long it will last but hopefully not too long. I have so many stories planned that I'm super excited for, so I will probably be back soon!
About this chapter, so much happened. Sora and Riku tried and failed and then tried once more and it ended horribly, so now Riku will try once more to fix what went wrong. I'm not sure if there will be another attempt at a lemon in this story. To be honest I don't think I have it in me to write one and I don't think I'm very good at it so it probably would be a disappointment anyway. There will for sure be another chapter though, just not sure if lemon will be included.
To xXSoKuGirl0615Xx: Awww, I'm sorry you cried, but I hope you are still excited to read more!
To luckycat222: Thanks for the review! I know, I feel so bad for always making Seifer the bad guy.
To SoRikuR0x: Oh, well I would totally wear it haha! Awww, are you serious? Cause I'd feel bad just taking one but it would be so awesome to have! Hmmm fav pairing is a hard one but I might have to go with Soriku, Akuroku, or cleon….gah too hard to decide! And I'm a size M for shirts. I like black but if it's going to have black sharpie then red or blue would be great. I'm not picky! Thank you. I can't wait to hear what your idea is!
To Kairi8912: Really? Thank you so much! It means a lot to have your support. Thanks for the review.
To xXStarFighterObsessorXx: Awww, I truly am so touched by your review, thank you so very much! I will miss you too, and your reviews! Thank you for such a lovely compliment.
To babychela45: Hahaha, I love these 3 couples so very much and I'm happy that you do too! As for the mating scene, I'm not sure if there will be a complete one, and if there is one, I'm not sure how much detail there will be. Sorry. Right now I'm just so "Anti-love" that I really need to calm down before I attempt to write a lemon. Sorry again =/
To YaoiKittenLover: You got your wish! More chapters! Although it'll probably just be one or two more chapters. I'm glad that you liked the ending of the last chapter though! I hope that there will be a lemon although if I do write one I might need some time to get over my 'I hate relationships' mentality and then try to calmly write a lemon without getting angry at my own stupidity *makes annoyed frustrated face*. Sorry for that lol. Awww, you are too sweet! I am already looking forward to the end of my hiatus so that I can start new stories/sequels and I truly cannot wait to read your reviews for them! Thank you a million times for your support and review!
To DeViLaNgE11: Yay for the cute fluff! Yes, poor Roxy, I love him so much! A part of me doesn't want to go on hiatus but another part of me knows I need to just take some time to myself and figure out a lot that is going on all at once. But I am so excited for the new stories I have up my sleeve! Seriously, there is a Soriku and an Akuroku that I am DYING to post but I need to actually get some stuff done before I do so. And that doesn't include the sequels I am anxious to get started on! Thank you for your support for my stories, it means more than I could express.
To Pein's Naughty Girl: Thank you for the review!
To ToxicChem: Yay! I am glad that you enjoy this story! I hope to update as often and regularly as I can until I go on hiatus. Thank you for your support!
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reviewed and those who are following and reading. It means a lot to have everyone's support even when I am about to go on Hiatus. I have avoided going on Hiatus about four times since I started posting because I always wanted to keep posting but right now, without boring you with too much of my personal life, the very idea of 'love' makes me want to puke and writing about it is actually painful and I have found myself feeling emotions nearing depression when I work on stories and when I started writing, it was the opposite. I wrote because it allowed me to feel and because I wanted to help others feel the joy that Kingdom Hearts has blessed me with since I first started the game those ten years ago. I know it won't be long when I can snap out of this 'phase' but I do appreciate the support and patience. I would rather be on hiatus than post words I do not believe in and hopefully with some time and healing I will be back with awesome stories that I have already planned out which I cannot wait to share with you all! I apologize again for the delay in my posts and in my random rambles. Thank you again for following this story despite that all.
