Chapter 3
The Kiss of Maturity
Riku massaged tenderly at the other's soft lips. Bringing his fingers through the others dark chocolate hair, the smooth silk strands falling between his fingers. He felt Vincent's fingers caress his cheek, drawing across his face then through his hair. Vincent deepened the kiss, pressing his lips harder against Riku's, who in turn, parted his lips to receive the other's demanding tongue. The silver haired youth took a needed breath between Vincent's lips, then moved his tongue to play forcefully with the others enquiring one. A hum of pleasure escaped from the back of Vincent's throat. Riku replied with a moan of his own, and held possessively of the face that was so close to his. The two parted, breathing heavy, brown eyes met with equally hungry aquarium ones. Riku held Vincent, each hand reaching around, and through the chocolate strands, cradling his fingers to fit perfectly around the other's head. Vincent held his hand at Riku's cheek, rubbing his soft thumb over the other's skin.
Riku let a gentle smile run across his face.
Vincent offered his gentle welcoming smile, then bent down again to lightly kiss Riku on the lips. Each let their hands fall from the other. Vincent stood, running a hand through his chocolate locks, "Riku?"
"Yeah?" Riku looked to the other, memorized by the other's brown eyes.
Vincent shifted his wait, his smile dropped to a thin line.
"I don't think your dad should find out about this." His voice came low.
A smile spread across Riku's face, "He hasn't found out yet." He let sarcasm run through his words.
Vincent nodded, he looked like he was guilty of something.
Riku frowned, "He wouldn't care anyway, so don't worry" Riku flatly stated.
Vincent frowned, "He's been trying to spend more time with you." Vincent protested, folding his arms across his chest.
Riku let a frustrated sigh escape, "I know that!" Riku sat up, "But it still...." Why did Vincent have to be so persistent on this!
"What? You can't spend time with your father!" Vincent protested.
Riku lifted his hands in the air, "Ugh! Vincent!" Riku spat, "It's not the same!" He was almost shouting.
Vincent sighed, "I don't understand, you two were inseparable, now he's never here, I think he feels guilty about it. He's trying to take care of you the best he can!" Vincent pressed, taking a short breath, "And when he can he wants to spend his time with you! But you don't value it!" thick aggravation filled his words, disappointment on his face.
Riku frowned heavily, "I spend time with him when ever he wants! I come every time he calls, I do as I'm told!" His voice loud, protesting, "I do value the time! How would you know if I valued it anyway!" Riku spat, now standing.
Vincent's expression went from disappointment to hurt, "I think I know you a little more then you like to think, you've been avoiding dad like you're avoiding Sora!" Vincent's voice reigned with accusations, making Riku falter at his feet. Vincent eyed Riku tensely, "Riku your always escaping."
Riku frowned, his hands formed agitated fists. He only glared at Vincent.
Vincent gave Riku a glare to match, then continued, "What is it? Why don't you just talk about it?" Vincent relaxed his glare, he looked to Riku with a pleading, concerned expression, "I'd like to help you, but you always bottle it up, or shrug it off. Nothing goes away until you deal with it!"
Riku looked from the brown orbs to the floor, his fists now relaxed, though he still held his fingers curled into his palms.
Vincent sighed, "I shouldn't be upset, I've only helped you.... escape." His voice shaky, almost cracking with the words he said.
Causing Riku to feel the immense sadness from Vincent, he slid down slowly to the bed, "... what?" He let the word fall helplessly from his mouth.
Vincent made no effort to say anything. He stood for a silent moment, only gazing aimlessly at Riku. The silver haired youth made no effort to pry anything from Vincent, only gave him the same lost, aimlessly stare.
Then Vincent turned his heel, and was gone.
Riku was left in his room, his head held down, between two shaking hands.Unwanted tears fell soothingly down his warm face.
Sora eyed the phone he recently placed down, a frown came to his face. A soft, "hmf" escaped him.
"What's the matter?" Came the voice to his side.
Sora looked up to the taller blonde, "Oh" Sora shrugged, "Nothing." Sora let out a nervous laugh. He looked towards the time, "Well what do you wanna do?"
Cloud shrugged, "We could hang out here?"
Sora nodded, "Want to play a game?" Sora walked from his room to the closet in the hall, "I have some games in here." He slid the door open, revealing the boxed games on the top shelf.
Cloud eyed them thoughtfully, "... mmmh, do you have any cards?"
Sora nodded, "Yea! I've got cards" He closed the door, trotting back to his room.
"Good" Cloud followed, "Want to play Rummy?"
"Sure, I love that game" Sora chirped, reaching under his bed and returning with a pack of cards in hand.
Cloud sank to the floor, bringing his legs to cross in front of him.
Sora sat across from the other, shuffling the cards, "So how bout that movie eh?" He questioned, trying to bring a subject to the silence.
Cloud chuckled, "For one thing, it was really short, not like I could sit through any more of it. There's about maybe one good part out of the whole movie."
Sora was dealing the cards, "Really? I thought all of it was stupid. What part did you like?"
"The credits" Cloud smiled.
Sora giggled, meeting the other's blue eyes. He noted the other's pleased smile.
"How was school?" Cloud asked looking to his cards.
Sora looked through his cards, "Ok, I guess."
Cloud frowned, "I didn't like school when I went."
"Really?" Sora looked from his cards to Cloud.
Cloud shook his head, "Nope."
"So, what type of friends do you have?" Sora asked, taking his turn in the game.
"human?" Cloud teased.
Sora sighed, rolling his eyes to the smirk Cloud had on his face., "No, I mean who are they? Where are they?"
"I have a couple of friends, one works at your school. The others I know from work." Cloud shuffled through the cards he held.
Sora raised his brow, "Really? Works at my school?"
Cloud nodded, "He was a classmate of mine."
"Who is it!" Sora impatiently asked.
Cloud put his cards down to the side, and looked to Sora, "His name is Leon."
Sora widened his eyes, "No way! He's my history teacher!"
Cloud grinned, "Yeah, he always had a passion for history."
"He was yelling at me and Riku in class though" Sora giggled, "He caught Riku copying off my homework."
Cloud nodded, "He hates injustices."
Sora nodded, "Yeah I guess, so do you guys go hang out often?"
The older blonde shrugged, "Yeah, when we can, we'll go the bar."
Sora nodded, putting his cards down to his side, loosing interest in the game, "The bar?"
"Down town, Tiffa use to..." Cloud shifted his gaze from Sora.
"Tifa? She's another friend?" Sora asked, then he noted the displeased look on the blondes face, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry." Sora rushed his apology.
Cloud shot his gaze back to Sora, "No it's ok, you don't need to apologize." Cloud softened his eyes, "Tifa was one of my child hood friends." He smiled, "She was the girl I grew up with."
Sora nodded, suddenly Kairi flashed in his thoughts then left as soon as Cloud began speaking again.
"Tifa and I met Leon when we went to Elementary school. The three of us were always together. Even when we were adults, of course we all had our different jobs but that didn't stop us from hanging around one another. I went into culinary studies, Leon wanted to teach history, and Tifa managed her own bar."
Sora listened fully, "So it was just you three?"
Cloud shook his head, "No, we all had friends besides each other, and each of us had our lovers...." Cloud paused, quickly adverting his sight elsewhere, then back to Sora,"But, we always still continued to be around each other, we were very close.""Were?" Sora frowned, he didn't want that to slip out.
Cloud slowly nodded, "Tifa passed away, so now it's just Leon and I."
Sora felt his mouth drop, he watched the blonde lower his head, a soft sigh escaped him.
Cloud shrugged, "We won't ever forget them." Cloud softly smiled, keeping his eyes to the carpet, "Leon and I are just grateful to have known them."
"Them?" Sora enquired, not wanting to let that slip either.
Cloud jerked, as if he startled him. He eyed Sora puzzled for a moment, "yea?"
Sora frowned, "You said ...them?" Sora's eyebrows furrowed, someone else?
Cloud nodded, "Oh, yea. They were in a car accident. Tiffa and Rinoa."
"Rinoa?" Sora cursed himself, why couldn't he just listen, rather then always prying deeper?
"Tifa's cousin." Cloud shifted on the floor.
Sora sat there taking in everything Cloud said. He looked from the blonde's blue orbs to the floor, "I'm sorry."
Cloud shook his head, "Don't be." He softly half smiled, "Thank you for listening to me."
"Your welcome, I'm your friend, if you need to talk about something you can with me." Sora nodded, a sad expression on his face.
Cloud nodded, "Well Sora?"
"Yea?" Sora eyed Cloud nervously.
"I want you to know you can trust me, with anything." Cloud stated calmly, but firmly.
Sora nodded, why wouldn't I? After you've told me so much that's happened to you. Sora frowned, Cloud was so calm when he talked about what happened, almost like he accepted it, but how can anyone accept something so unfair! Sora adverted his eyes from Cloud looking down to his cards. I must seem so dumb, the only thing I could offer is playing a game. All I have is school, I'm not even old enough to go into a bar. I couldn't go anywhere with Cloud, not anywhere he'd want to go. I haven't been through anything like that, it's so sad, how could I even imagine to relate? He's been through so much, no wonder he always seemed so distant. He lost a close friend.
Cloud frowned, "What's wrong?"
Sora looked from Cloud, shifting himself on the carpet, "What do you mean?"
"You seemed upset about something, when you got off the phone with Riku."
Sora shrugged, "He rushed me off the phone."
"How was he during school?" Cloud questioned.
"He didn't act different, though he's been hanging out with Tidus a lot lately."
"Yeah, I noticed he was at the house when I returned from dropping you off." Cloud quietly stated. He started to twirl his fingers around each other, playing with something that wasn't there.
Sora nodded, "Yeah I didn't see him the rest of the weekend, he even left his clothes here." He motioned with his hand towards the backpack sitting by the door.
"I was going to drop it off today, but I don't think...." Sora frowned, as he stared intently at the backpack, "I don't think he wants to see me."
Cloud looked from the backpack to Sora, "Did you two have a fight?"
Sora looked almost pitiful, his head lowered, cinnamon hair falling in front of his face.
"No, we didn't even have a fight, he just suddenly started avoiding me." since Friday.
"I'm sure he'd like to see you." Cloud put enthusiasm in his statement.
Sora only continued to look at his lap, some how I think he wouldn't.
Cloud moved closer to Sora, seating himself directly in front of him. He reached over to Sora's chin, lifting it with his smooth fingers.
Sora came to eye contact with the other, blushing slightly.
Cloud kept hold of the other's face, while his expression softened to a gentle plea, "Sora, it'll be alright. I'll be here for you, always." Cloud stated, saying each word softly, with a smile following the promise.
Sora only nodded to agree, to accept. Then he felt the other remove his fingers from under his chin. Sora continued to keep his contact with the other's eyes, he could feel himself coming to ease. But he also felt himself searching aim-fully through Cloud's eyes. Searching for more of the comfort he felt looking into them, finding a trace of sorrow in them. Feeling the sincerity within the blue orbs, finding unsurety as well. He dove in the pool, feeling naked under the other, but feeling secure.
"Sora... I.." Cloud started.
Sora was pulled from the other's eyes, and quickly adverted his eyes, a soft "hmf?" came from him.
Cloud let out a light chuckle, "You look so pitiful."
Sora shot his sight back to him, "Hey!" he protested, "that's not very nice!"
"It's not a bad thing." Cloud reached over to ruffle the other's hair, "Did you want to go and drop off his clothes? Maybe you two could talk or something. I'm sure he's not avoiding you."
Sora slowly nodded, "I guess so, couldn't hurt to try."
Cloud gave Sora a reasuring smile."Oh my GOSH!" the taller brunette jumped excitedly, "Sora! It's so good to see you!" Yuffie reached for Sora, cradling him between her arms, "I haven't seen you in forever! Your here for Riku? Yes of course let me..." Yuffie dropped her hold on Sora as she came across the taller man at the door, her expression going from pleased to shocked, "Cloud!" She jumped at the name.
Sora frowned at her reaction to Cloud, puzzled why she looked surprised to see him. He then looked to Cloud who, in turn, looked to her with no emotion. What the hell? How do they know each other?
Yuffie took a small step back, "I'll go...uh" She never took her gaze from Cloud, "I'll go get Riku.." Then with that she was gone.
That was strange, I wonder what that was all about? Sora fidgeted under the approaching steps. Riku.
"Sora?" Riku questioned, a puzzled expression came to his face at the notice of Cloud. Then he adverted his eyes back to Sora.
Sora lifted the backpack he held, "I brought this back for you, I thought you might've needed it?" He almost sounded nervous.
Riku lifted a brow, taking the backpack, "Thank you, but you didn't need to bring it, I own more then these clothes."
Sora gave a light smile, "Yeah I guess your right." He let a nervous laugh out. Guess you didn't want to see me after all.
Riku eyed Sora strangely then gave Cloud a puzzled look, "Where's Tidus?"
Cloud lifted a blonde brow, "I don't know."
Riku looked to Sora, "Your hanging around Cloud without Tidus?"
"Yea? Cloud's my friend." Why does that matter?
Riku frowned, "huh" He gave Cloud another look over, "Dad will be home pretty soon."
Sora frowned, "ok?" What does that have to do with anything?
"Give my regards to your father" Cloud stated flatly, lowly.
"Certainly." Riku replied. He almost looked like he wanted to say something, but he pierced his lips shut.
Sora's frown only deepened. "You know his father?"
Riku smirked, then looked past the two, seeing a car coming through the gate.
Sora turned to see the silver Porche pull up. A feeling of extreme uneasiness came over him at the sight of the man in the car. Cloud shifted his weight, looking towards the side of the house, to the man who now stood, in front of the car.
Sora heard Riku sigh. Not making the uneasiness falter. The man smoothly walked from his car to the three at the door, his dark blue eyes never leaving Cloud.
Sora shifted his gaze between the blonde and the platinum haired man. Each held a strong stoic expression.
"Hi dad" Riku cut between the two, "Sora dropped off some clothes I left at his house, Cloud gave him a ride."
"Hi son" the man quickly glanced to Riku then moved his dark blue eye's to Sora, "It's good to see you Sora."
Sora gave a small smile, "Hi, Sir."
"Cloud" The man addressed the other with a nod, then began to walk past them towards the door.
Cloud frowned, "Sephiroth." He glared at the back of the silver haired man.
Sora could only stand and frown at the silent tension, then with the way Cloud glared, hatefully towards Riku's dad. What was all that about? He looked to Riku who gave him a pitiful smile, "Sora, I'll see you later." Riku looked Cloud over one last time, then closed the door.
"Cloud?" Sora almost didn't want to say anything, seeing how they were silent on the drive back to his house, "Thank you for taking me." Sora eyed his house from the passenger seat.
"It's no problem" Cloud replied quickly, rubbing at his fingers once more.
Sora frowned, "I'm sorry I didn't mean for you to see Riku's dad or Yuffie, or Riku! I didn't think that maybe you might not wanted to have gone! I'm sorry!" Sora began to apologize quickly, feeling guilty.
Cloud looked at him, a puzzled expression, "I don't mind Sora, I wouldn't have offered if I did."
"I don't know what it is that's happened between you and them, I don't really know to much about you! What I do know, is just... it's so sad!" Sora started again. He could feel himself spilling out words nervously, he was feeling guilty for making the blonde feel uncomfortable, for not knowing much about him. Also scared, that Cloud would realize just how young and immature he was.
"Woah Sora! Take it easy! I thought seeing Riku might help. That maybe what ever happened was a misunderstanding." Cloud inched over to Sora putting a hand on his shoulder, "As far as me, I'm fine, I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I'm sorry." Cloud pulled the other into a hug.
Sora began, "I'm sorry, I just don't know what's going on, everywhere I go it's always so confusing to me. I feel like I'm left in the dark. I don't know what that tension was about, I don't know why everybody thinks so badly about people, I don't know why Riku's avoiding me!" Sora continued to voice his frustrations in the other's shoulder, "It's like people are afraid to... break me. To hurt me! I'm not a child, all my friends treat me like I am though! Then you." Sora stopped, pulling from the hug, to face Cloud, "You came, and you trusted me, with your past, with your feelings. Your older then me, but you still wanted to hang out with me. I was just afraid."
Cloud held his hands secure on Sora's shoulders, giving Sora his full attention, looking deeply into the other's eyes.
Sora broke the connection for only a moment, then he looked back to the other, "I was afraid, that I didn't have anything to offer you. That you'd just see me as a child, and you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore."
Cloud drew his brows together, a frown set on his face, "Sora... I..."
Sora bowed his head, covering his face with a hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't think I'd be so upset." He felt Cloud's fingers under his chin, forcing his eyes to look into his, "I don't know that kind of pain, that sadness, I don't mean to be insensitive."
"Sora" Cloud rubbed at the other's cheek, "It's ok, your not insensitive, your.."
Sora shook his head, "No! I feel like I am, I'm all worked up over my best friend avoiding me and yours... She.."
Cloud shook his head, "Sora, please calm down."
Sora pierced his lips, not wanting to make the situation worse then he'd already made it.
Cloud gave a soft smile, "Sometimes life has a funny way of connecting people. We're all connected, sometimes we don't even know that we are, or how or why. So when death came, I found reason to move on, to find all my ties, and to press forward. It's sad, I miss those who've passed, but maybe they've already made all their connections in life, maybe they've come to an end. A dead end." A light chuckle came from Cloud at the pun, "So with ties between myself and others, that's what I'm here to find, how exactly I connect with everyone."
Sora nodded, though he didn't really understand what Cloud was talking about.
Cloud, amused by Sora's lost look, continued, "Think about it this way, your confused. You don't understand what it is between you and your friends. Maybe you haven't found the connection to them. You don't understand why they feel this way or that way, or why they treat you the way they do. Maybe you haven't found the connection to yourself. It's simple really, once you understand that we are all connected." Cloud moved his fingers across Sora's soft cheek, reaching back to the cinnamon strands by his ear, "Like thread, we intertwine each other, we make the connections, even though we may have never met someone, we still lay helplessly chained to them. To everyone."
Sora nodded, feeling the other's hand massage through his hair, rolling the strands between his fingers. He was lost, between his recent out burst of frustrations and Cloud's revelations. He could only sit there helplessly numb under Clouds deep sincere eyes, and under the grip of the others strong words.
"Sora, I enjoy being with you. Even back to the times I drove you and Tidus around, those past encounters where I saw you, talked with you. I felt our connection, you wouldn't have known why I've felt this pain, this sadness, but you picked up on it. I could tell by the way you always looked at me, you were so concerned. Sora, I've never felt as naked as I do in your eyes. I could feel you tearing past the silence, searching for the reason of my sadness." Cloud continued to stroke at the other's hair, "Even though you've never asked me, till that night. I could see you pry into me, silently. I should be the one to apologize, I saw you try to reach out, but I didn't reach back. I understand what it's like, to want to reach out, but scared to. Not sure if it's something your entitled to do. I understand the pain of wanting to ease someone, to let them know you care. Scared fully of rejection, it's a painful experience."
"Rejection.." Sora half nodded, still at lost in the other's words.
Cloud gave a firm nod, "Yes, people end up living out of fear of rejection. They let that fear rule over their decisions rather then let their heart lead them. I was once like that, I was so afraid of being rejected I lost my heart, my chance at love, I let it slip between my fingers." Cloud gave a small smile, followed by watery eyes, "I loved somebody once, she was everything to me, I couldn't go without a moment without her in my thoughts."
Sora frowned, "Loved? You were in love?" yet another experience I have yet come across.
Cloud nodded, his eyes loosing their shine, "I was, but I was terrified of being turned down, to be rejected. To change already such a strong friendship. So I didn't say anything until it was to late."
Sora raised a brow, "to late?" Tiffa? He loved her, but he never told her.
"Yeah" Cloud nodded, "Sora, I want you to know, that you can trust me." Cloud traced his hand back to Sora's cheek. "I want our connection to be stronger."
Sora nodded, stronger?
Cloud moved closer to Sora, so their faces were just barely out of touch, "I see the way you look at me, I can feel it. Your always searching, Sora I want to help you." Cloud circled his thumb on Sora's cheek, "I will help you find it."
Sora sat still, letting the other, play fondly at his face, feeling the other's hot breath on his lips. Sora wanted to know what it felt like, connection. So he put a shaky hand on the other's face, feeling the smooth skin below his finger tips, exploring the other with slow strokes. He traced down Cloud's cheek, then back up, bringing his curious finger tips to Cloud's blonde hair, he played fondly with the strands. Letting each finger be swallowed with the hair, he looked to Cloud's lips, licking his own. He nervously moved his fingers down to the lips that hot air came from.
"Is this....is" Sora began, his voice nervous, shaky, "Is this connection?"
Cloud allowed Sora's curious fingers to trace his face, as his fingers mocked that of Sora's, "It's connection, not the type I was talking about. But a different type. This is physical, intimate, connection."
Sora looked from the other's lips to the blue welcoming orbs that beckoned to him, "Cloud, I never... done...this."
Cloud softly smiled, "Sora, it's ok. You can trust me."
Sora nodded, pulling his hand away from Cloud's face, he looked down once more to the inviting lips. Then he felt his whole body ache, want, hunger for the lips that were so close to his. Sora leaned closer to Cloud, tilting his head slightly, closing his eyes softly. Then he felt it, the lips he wanted on his. He felt Cloud move his lips against his, he felt his own lips reacting, pressing themselves against Cloud's. He felt it, his stomach turn, and twist and dance around, he felt scared, he felt his muscles lock up. He felt the blood rush to his face, making him hot and red. He felt clumsy and excited. Then he quickly pulled away, as if he'd burned his mouth, he jerked back, hitting the passenger door with his upper body. His eye's wide, his hand covering his mouth.
Cloud moved back fully to his seat, watching the other hesitantly, "Sora?"
Sora blushed, "That was my first kiss."
Cloud gave a soft smile, "With me, yes."
Sora removed his hand from his mouth, "I never kissed anyone before."
Cloud frowned, "Sora, it's ok, don't worry. If you didn't like it, you don't have to do it again."
Sora sat quietly and unsure.
Cloud
rubbed at his hair, "I didn't mean to scare you into doing
anything you didn't want to do. I'm sorry."
Sora sat puzzled, "I kissed you!" Oh no he feels bad!
"Cloud! I'm... glad it was you." Sora rushed, "I trust you."
Cloud took his hand from his hair, he looked a little relieved.
Sora continued, "I think I know what you mean by our connection. I feel like I can understand how your feeling without you having to tell me."
Cloud nodded, "Sometimes you'll find people who have that connection, just complete awareness of your mood." He let a satisfied smile cross his face, "Just being around someone who is aware of your mood is peaceful just in it's self. Because they already understand. It's easy to loose yourself in them."
Sora nodded, glancing quickly at his house.
"Come on, I'll walk you to your door." Cloud offered, opening his door.
Sora followed, walking in step with Cloud. I can't believe I just kissed him! Did Cloud want me to kiss him? Every thing's just coming out all at once, these feelings. These... desires, I wanted to kiss him, even again. Without pulling away. I don't understand, first I was excited seeing Kairi, then I wasn't. Now I go and kiss Cloud?
"Sora, try not to worry bout it to much. I'm your friend...right?" Cloud stood by the steps, watching Sora take at the first step.
Sora nodded, being at eye level with Cloud.
"So I'll help you in anyway I can." Cloud gave Sora a reassuring smile.
Sora frowned, guess he didn't care if I kissed him or not. He gave a nod, "Cloud... I.."
"I would like to see you again, Sora." Cloud quickly interrupted.
Sora blushed, "I would like to see you again too."
Cloud nodded, "Good, call me then." Cloud looked over Sora for a silent moment, then with a smile, "Goodbye, Sora." His voice almost hummed.
Sora waved his silent goodbye, a smile placed on his face.
Sora turned to face his door, his cheeks turned to a dark red.
I just had my first kiss. Sora opened the door, walking in quickly. It was with Cloud, he's much older then me. I just had my first kiss with a man. Sora climbed the stairs, heading towards his room. I kissed my friend, he let me kiss him. Sora put fingers to his lips, brushing at them curiously, he closed his bedroom door. He walked past the cards that still lay on the floor, and seated himself on his bed. Sora let a lazy smile crawl to his face, I was scared when I kissed him. But through that, I felt our connection, between our lips. I didn't know what it was at first, but I know now. It was the connection, he opened up a bridge between us. I know he wanted me to kiss him, he was so close, he kept touching me. He wanted me. I kissed someone who wanted me. He knew from the first time he'd saw me, he knew about our connection, he wanted to make it stronger. He could tell I was thinking about him all those times, wondering about him, concerned for him. He never said anything, but neither did I. Was he waiting for me? I was waiting for him. I didn't want to feel.... rejected.
Sora stretched out on his bed, rubbing absently at his stomach.
His eyes are sincere to his emotions. That's how I always knew, by just swimming in your eyes. I saw it in your eyes, you wanted the kiss, you wanted me to do it. I was scared, and you saw it in my eyes, so you comforted me, just by knowing, by understanding.
Sora
let a soft sigh escape from him, he continued to rub at his stomach.
His hand reaching under his shirt to trace his bare skin.
He didn't even get annoyed when I went off on him earlier. He didn't mind listening about my dumb problems with my friends. He even hugged me. He wanted to help me, he's going to help me.
Sora felt his body tingle, his stomach light and nervous. He blushed as he felt down his stomach, tracing at the hem of his jeans, dipping his fingers beneath the cloth. He fumbled with the button, opening his pants, giving him access to the skin beneath.
Sora let his eyes fall softly shut, as his hand traced beneath his boxers to his hardening member.
This is what I wanted, someone to want me, to feel for me. To need me.
"You can trust me."
I do trust you, I know you want me to. Sora wrapped his fingers around his throbbing hardness. Pumping his fist, moving his hand in rhythm to the hardness.
"I would like to see you again."
I need to see you again, I need to feel you again. Sora traced his free hand up the side of his face, twirling his fingers in his hair. I want you to touch me again, to curl your fingers on my skin. Sora let out a low moan, letting his hand work faster around his shaft.
"I'll help you anyway I can."
Help me Cloud, help me. Connect to me, physically, intimately, I want to be intertwined with you.
""RING RING""
Sora snapped his hand away from himself, sitting up, his eyes wide.
""RING RING""
A
frustrated moan escaped him.
He ran a hand through his hair, "Hello?"
Sora stood, buttoning his pants, "Kairi?" What did she want?
"Yeah, what's up?" her voice sounding to giddy.
If you only knew, Sora let out a hesitant laugh, "Nothing, what's up with you?"
"Mhh, I was just wondering if you talked to Riku yet?"
"Oh, yea... uh." Sora frowned, "Not yet."
TBCThank you for reading, hope you enjoyed.
