Sorry for the lack of update. Between people moving in and crazy laptop issues, I've been a bit preoccupied. I also beat FFV in 3 days because I'm cool. I love being a gamer.

I absolutely adore this chapter.

Rated M: because I said so.

Loveless Lies

Chapter 9: This Adultry is Ripe

Sora pushed the wooden door with two bags of Doritos and a two-liter of Mountain Dew in hand. He saw the silver-haired teen laying on his queen-sized bed. The smaller boy set the munchies on the floor and laid next to his friend. Immediately Riku wrapped his arms around the boy. Sora smiled. This is perfect, Sora thought as he turned his body to kiss the other.

Both pairs of lips were on the verge of collision when Riku pulled his head away, "I can't kiss you."

Sora snapped out of his state of bliss and a pout covered his face, "What?"

"I can't kiss you, not yet," his lips curling into a smile. "Not until you tell me how things went with Kairi."

The smaller teen knew no matter how he worded what happened, Riku would not be happy,"I didn't tell her." Short and to the point.

Rage built up inside of the taller boy's body, but he wouldn't show it, not yet, "Why not?" He thought he should give the other a chance to explain. This had better be good...

Sora took a deep breath in, knowing Riku's next reaction would not be as pleasant. If there's one thing his best friend had mastered, it was anger. "I was at her house, and her parents weren't home." He turned his gaze from green eyes to black sheets. "We watched a movie, but she was tired, so I led her upstairs to talk. I had everything planned out in my head. I knew what to tell her..." his voice trailed off as he attempted to string together the next few sentences in his head.

"But you didn't. You won't. I might as well leave." with that, his pale body rose from the bed, cheeks flushed a new shade of red. "I should have never cared so much about you."

The words pierced through the brunette's heart, striking a nerve somewhere that cause immediate tears to fall from his ocean blue eyes."It's not like that and you know it. She wants to move to Traverse Town so she can live with me. I don't want to hurt her."

Even though the words made sense in Sora's own head, Riku couldn't make out most of the words due to his friend's massive sobbing. The only clear sentence that rang through his silver-haired head was, 'I don't want to hurt her.'

"But you'll hurt me," Riku's words were more like daggers hitting the smaller boy's already broken heart. He stood and attempted to head for the door.

"No, not anymore," Sora grabbed the other's arm beckoning for him to return to the bed.

Riku raised an eyebrow wondering if his friend was telling the truth. Will he really chose me over her?

"I can't lie to myself anymore," Sora began while Riku found his seat on the bed once again. "I need to stop letting everyone else's feelings mean more than my own. I matter too, you know. I can't have my life be led by everyone else's thoughts and emotions. Not anymore at least."

"And just what are your own feelings?" Green eyes starring blankly at some spot on an opposing wall.

"You should know the answer to that better than anyone else," Sora shifted his body in front of Riku's. He placed his index finger under the other's chin pushing upwards until he locked onto green eyes. "I love you and only you. Everything else running through my head is just lies trying to confuse me. You're the one I want."

Riku couldn't take his eye's from the boy's. So many times in the past few days had his best friend left him speechless. All his life he had some witty remark or jerk off thing to say, but now, well now, he just wanted to melt into the other's arms. "I love you, too."

"We don't say that enough," Sora whispered as he took his love into his arms.

"Agreed," Riku replied as he found his way to the brunette's lips, taking them into his own.

Sora broke free from Riku's trance, "I'll tell Kairi before graduation."

"You promised you would. And you better tell her...or else," a smug grin filled the teen's face.

"Or else what?"

"Well, wouldn't you like to know," he chuckled as he playfully threw Sora onto the bed where he kissed and nibbled on the boy's neck until the brunette's body was hot and bothered.

Sora's mind couldn't keep track of everything that was going on. Should I let him do this? Is this cheating? What about Kairi... Before his mind could make a decision, Riku had unbuttoned Sora's jeans and slid a hand down his boxers. Sora's body took over where his mind lacked focus and arched toward the ceiling in pleasure from the simple stroke of Riku's hand.

"Should I stop?" Riku questioned. He hadn't meant to speak the words out loud. He himself was having a bit of trouble with the lack of clarity that hovered over his current situation. Inside his mind he knew that what he was doing was wrong, but to some extent, it was right. They both loved each other, but was that all that mattered?

"Don't," Sora panted, wanting to feel more of the other boy's flesh on his own.

"You sure?"

"What's with you and questions all the time?" The brunette couldn't take the games anymore and pulled Riku's shirt above his head.

"Trying to be dominant now aren't we?" Riku snickered and did the same to Sora.

Sora flung his arms around the other's upper body and pulled Riku's bare chest down onto his own. The contact sent chills down both their body's. "Maybe a little."

"I'll just have to teach you to a lesson about who's who in this relationship," he removed the smaller's boy's arms from his back and held Sora's wrists tightly against the matress.

"Do whatever you want," Sora whispered sensually into the other's ear.

Riku shook his head,"I would have never thought you were so...incredibly sexual."

"There are still a lot of things you don't know about me." Sora said. "Now, show me what lesson you were going to teach me."

Riku snapped out of whatever daze that stopped him, yet again, from devouring the smaller boys body and moved his hands from the other's wrist to his pants. "Oh, I'll show you."

Light crept through the slightly parted drapes to uncover two barely legal teens tangled betwixt each other's naked bodies. The morning light was warm enough against the smaller boy's body to awaken him from a comatose state. He attempted to stretch his arms, however, he found that they were now a part of the other boy's body.

Sora smiled to himself as he kissed his lover's cheek and whispered into his ear,"Wake up, love. It's time to graduate."

Silver hair covered Riku's eyes shielding himself from the sun that had interrupted his friend's slumber. A yawn escaped his lips before they were stolen by the brunette's. Pale, yet toned, arms tightened around the bare, tanned skin of his lover. After a few glorious moments of complete happiness Riku's lips finally formed words instead of sensual kisses, "Good morning."

The brunette glanced over at the clock found next to his bed, "It's 8:00. Want to go out for some breakfast? My treat."

Riku untangled himself from Sora and stretched his back, revealing his amazing set of abs which were accentuated by the sunlight. As he came out of the much needed stretch, he observed Sora's room for a moment, eyes darting toward the door. He smirked, "Or we can shower together and just eat those Doritos over there."

"Heh. Forgot about those," Sora moved off the bed and grabbed his boxers that had been tossed aside the night before.

"I figured," Riku paused to watch his adorable lover hop on one foot trying to pull his red boxers up."Seriously, don't bother. Let's just shower together, to, you know, conserve water."

Sora's cheeks turned a lovely shade of pink as he let the underwear topple to the ground and nodded in approval of Riku's suggestion.

"We'll have to actually shower, though. I need to be home by 9, so no playing," Riku flashed Sora a smile as he made his way over to the bathroom attached to the bedroom. Sora followed.

Selphie sat across the table from a distraught red head that had appeared at her house at the ungodly hour of 9:00 a.m. "What's wrong?"

"I.. I don't know. It's Sora...," Kairi let the words continue to stumble through her mouth. "I think he knows." The redhead looked down at the coffee mug she had been spinning in her hands.

Selphie knew exactly what her friend was talking about. Her expression was blank. She knew this day would come, "Are you sure? Did he tell you?"

"Not exactly. He's been acting differently," worry was all over Kairi's fare complexion.

"How so?" Selphie replied. A bit annoyed as to why her friend wouldn't just come out and tell her what the hell was going on.

"Last night. I told him I was going to move to Traverse Town for college. It's only 20 minutes from Twilight Town. I thought he would jump at the idea of being able to be live with each other," Kairi paused as she sipped her caffeinated beverage. A wave of guilt, confusion and hurt swept throughout the redhead's body and mind.

"And...," the brunette had resorted to tapping her fingers on the hardwood table.

"And that was it. Nothing. He mumbled 'That's great' and changed the subject to Riku."

"You don't think Riku told him?" Selphie seized her incessant tapping. "It would explain why they haven't spoken to each other in a while."

Kairi slumped down into her chair, hands idly messing with some change on the table, "They're okay now. I wouldn't let him tell me why they had fought in the first place. I didn't want to hear him say..."

"Say he knew you fucked some guy," Selphie interrupted coldly.

"Harsh, but yes," her eyes setting nervously upon the table once again.

"So, did you guys bang then?" the brunette had lived vicariously through her friend's extremely active sex life since she hadn't been getting any of her own for quite some time.

"No, we slept," Kairi blushed at the confession, rather lack of confession that is.

"Damn, something really is wrong," the brunette laughed crudely at the information.

Couldn't have people actually feeling sorry for that whore, now could we? Heh.
