A/N: I've decided to post one more chapter, even tho I only got half my required reviews. I got 71 views and five reviews and I know you guys can do better then that. This is the only time I will be lenient, though. I know how the story ends, so it's no skin off my back.

Chapter 2

Sora watched from the side of the stage, still in wonder after all the time they'd spent together. Riku's voice had taken on a throaty growl as he sang, jumping around the stage with so much energy, his hand reaching out to touch people in the audience. He turned his back to them, moving his body with the beat.

Sora was tantalized as he watched Riku approach Axel, the redhead leaning into the singer so they could share the mike he held. Roxas let out a tiny whimper next to Sora, who laughed and took his twin's hand. Sometimes he still couldn't believe his luck. That silver-haired god on stage was all his. The people in the crowd could wish and fantasize, but Sora got the truth. Sora knew, first hand.

"I've got to get away from the stage before something really embarrassing happens," Roxas breathed, pulling his hand out of Sora's grasp and scurrying away.

He laughed, turning his eyes back to the stage and the laughter died in his throat. Riku, who was still singing and moving, had managed to catch his eyes. The bright turquoise, brought out even more by the thick, black kohl framing them, was impossible to look away from. It lasted all of three seconds, but it felt like an eternity before Riku smirked and turned away and Sora could breathe properly again. He smiled and continued to watch all the way to the end. When it did finally come to an end, Riku came off the stage grinning and adrenaline rushed.

"Damn, I forgot how amazing that feels!" he exclaimed excitedly, claiming Sora's lips in a heated kiss. Sora didn't complain one bit, at least not until Riku's arms moved to wrap around him. He then wrinkled his nose and firmly pushed Riku away.

"Ew, you're all sweaty and gross," he complained.

"You love it!" Riku teased.

"Under some circumstances, I'll admit I don't mind. On the other hand, when I'm clean and you're not, it's just not as fun," Sora sighed mock-seriously. Riku sent him a wicked grin and pulled Sora against his chest. The brunet shuddered as Riku's lips brushed his ear.

"We can fix that," he whispered. Sora had to fight down the urge to jump him.

"Ri-ku!" he whined. "Not here! Wait until we get home!"

Riku laughed once more, claiming a kiss and heading back toward the dressing room where he could catch a shower.

"I'll get you at home then!" he called over his shoulder. Sora laughed and set off in search of his twin. When he found him, he somewhat wished he hadn't. Axel had him pinned to the couch in the dressing room and Roxas didn't seem to mind at all that he was sweaty. If anything, he was pulling the redhead tighter against him. It was a bit difficult to tell where one ended and the other began, with how close they were.

Sora looked at them mischievously before walking over to the fridge and grabbing out a bottle of water. It was so cold there will little bits of ice floating in it. Perfect. He unscrewed the cap and, with much gusto, dumped it over Axel's head. The redhead jerked away from Roxas with an undignified scream. Sora burst into laughter as Axel glared at him, his sopping wet mane of hair and the dark makeup around his eyes making him look strangely feral.

"What the hell was that for?" he growled. Sora was too hysterical to be scared.

"It was an impromptu…cold shower!" He gasped around his laughter. "Keep it in your pants, would you? If me and Riku can wait until we get home, then so can you!" Roxas looked a mix between annoyed and amused and Axel let out a growl of annoyance before getting off of Roxas and heading back to take a shower.

"Damn it, Sora!" he yelled as he opened the door to the bathroom. "I'll get my revenge, I swear!" Sora just waved him off and sat on the couch next to his brother.

"I thought you were running away so nothing embarrassing would happen?" he grinned.

"Yeah, well…" Roxas mumbled. "It seems that Axel was really interested in bringing up the source of my imminent embarrassment." Sora laughed, leaning his head back against the back of the couch and staring at the ceiling.

"Man, Rox, in two days time we are gonna be a pathetic pair, you and I." Roxas let out a sigh. "I know. Six months. What are we gonna do without them for sixth months?"

"Wallow in self pity together?" Sora suggested. Roxas laughed.

"Yeah, that's probably about right. What are you gonna do on his last day here? I haven't really decided yet…"

Sora grinned impishly. "Well…let's just say, that if I have my way, Riku won't be leaving our bedroom at all tomorrow." Roxas laughed and an identical wicked grin spread across his face.

"That, my brother, does not sound like a bad idea. Not at all." Sora didn't have a chance to reply before the bathroom door opened and Riku came out. His wet hair was pulled into a low ponytail, his face scrubbed clean of make-up, and he wore a simple pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt. He approached the couch and slipped on a pair of flip-flops. He then made his way to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.

"Ready to go home, So?" he asked, offering his hand to the brunet. Sora grinned and took the offered appendage, pulling himself to his feet.

"I'll call you on Tuesday, okay Roxas?" His blonde counterpart nodded and waved. As they made their way outside and past security, Riku moved his arm around Sora's shoulders instead of grasping his hand. Sora smiled and settled against his side, wrapping his own arm around Riku's waist and bunching his hand in the material of his shirt. Riku laughed.

"Love you, So."

"I love you, too."

There was a scream of excitement from somewhere to their left and they were suddenly confronted by a girl who looked to be somewhere around seventeen.

"Oh my god, you're Riku Silver, aren't you?" she gushed. Riku smiled calmly and nodded.

"That would be me." She let out an excited squeal and then turned to Sora, who was actually a bit shocked. The fans usually ignored him, which was perfectly all right with him.

"You're Sora, right?" At his weak nod, she squealed again. "Oh, you're so much cuter in person!" Riku chuckled.

"What can we do for you…?"

"Kaitlyn!" she supplied. "Would you take a picture with me?"

"You mind, So?" he asked. Sora shook his head and held his hand out for the camera.

"Do your thing, superstar," he teased. After the picture was taken, an autograph signed, and explicit directions on how to get to Axel's car were given (just because Riku enjoyed harassing the redhead), they started on their walk again. They'd barely made it five steps when another voice called out, this one male. Riku glanced apologetically at Sora, who didn't really mind, before turning to look at the man. He was tall, about Riku's height. He was dressed completely in black and had a bandana tied around the lower half of his face and a hat on. He stretched out a hand, which Riku reached to shake automatically. As soon as their hands touched, he was jerked roughly forward and then Riku let out a strange gasp and then a strangled yell. The man shoved him away and took off running down the street. Sora rushed to his lover, who had stumbled back a couple steps and was now wobbling in place.

"Riku? What happened?" Riku turned to look at him before collapsing. Sora gasped and caught him on reflex, lowering him gently to the ground. It was then that he saw that Riku was clutching his side and that his shirt was quickly becoming stained red with blood.

"Oh, shit!" Sora gasped. "Oh shit!"

He pulled out his cell phone, fingers fumbling on the buttons as he called 911.

"Where are you and what's the problem?" the operator asked.

"Um…I'm outside the arena…Hollow Bastion Arena. My friend just got stabbed and he's bleeding really badly…"

"An ambulance will be there shortly."

Sora snapped his phone shut, dropping it on the ground next to him, and worked on shifting Riku so his head was in Sora's lap. The brunet pressed his hands tightly against the wound. Pressure helped stop bleeding, right?

"So," Riku murmured, sounding strangely detached. "So, I love you."

Sora half hiccupped, half sobbed. "I love you, too, Ri. Just…hold on, okay? The paramedics will be here soon and they'll help…"

The efforts were for naught. Three minutes later, Riku murmured, "Sorry, So." He died in Sora's arms with these last words. The ambulance arrived five minutes later.

The loud sound of the television on downstairs nearly made Sora jump out of his skin as he was rudely awakened. He was going to kill Roxas. After being dragged around (and followed) all day yesterday, he was seriously ready to just be alone. He'd told his twin that the night before and he'd promised to go home! So what was he doing here now, turning the television up to an earth-shattering volume, no less? Sora groaned and rolled out of bed, a little surprised to see that he was wearing Riku's favorite gray t-shirt. When had he worked up the nerve to rifle through Riku's clothes, let alone wear something of his? It still smelled like him. Sora clutched the hem between his fingers, feeling the soft cotton as if that would make him closer to Riku. He started down the stairs, stalking into the living room and turning off the TV.

"Roxas?" he called for his twin. His only answer was a splashing noise from the backyard. Was Roxas in the pool? He slid the glass door open and stepped out onto the back porch. There was definitely someone in the pool, but he couldn't see who from where he was standing. He went down the steps, crossing towards the sparkling water. Just as he reached the edge of the pool, the swimmer popped above the water and grinned at him.

"Hey, So. Finally awake, are you? Good. How about you come join me?"

Sora fainted.
