Thank you so much all of you that reviewed or faved my story! xD So I've decided to make the story longer, and here's the second chapter. I hope it's good.
I haven't renamed the story, but I might still do. But at least, the first chapter will still be named First Kiss.

Disclaimer: No, I still don't own Kingdom Hearts or it's characters. I wish I did of course, blah blah...

Chapter 2: Leave Them Alone

Sora didn't know where Kairi could be. She wasn't by the beach where they usually were when they and Riku were together. It was possible she had gone home, considering the event not that long ago. But he thought he would look around the beach once more, before going to her house. He had yet to check the secret place too. There was a possibility she could be there.

As he turned and started to walk towards the secret cave, he noticed Riku still sitting on the papou tree on the small island. Sora wondered what he was thinking. He couldn't explain what had just happened between them. And right now, he would rather just find Kairi and apologize to her. He couldn't really believe he had asked Riku to kiss him either. It had been a real impulsive act, as he hadn't been thinking at all. And now that he thought about it, it had been a very stupid thing to do. Things had probably become kind of awkward between him and Riku now.

It wasn't that Sora hadn't enjoyed the kiss though. 'Cause he really had. Riku's tongue had caressed him so lovingly, making him feel a weird tug somewhere behind his navel. Sora sent a quick glance in the direction of the silver haired boy, wondering if he had felt the same. For a split second he thought about how it would be to do it again, but he pushed the thought aside as he swallowed nervously and wondered where that had come from. He wouldn't have to kiss Riku again. As soon as he explained everything to Kairi, he could kiss her nearly whenever he felt like it. He just had to find her.

He had reached the opening to the secret place and hopefully Kairi was inside the cave. As he entered, he soon found out she was. The redhead was sitting on the ground right in front of the drawing of her and Sora sharing a papou fruit. She turned around when she heard Sora entering. He didn't know what to say. He should have prepared himself before just approaching her. But he had never really been a person to think much before he acted.

Kairi just looked at him for a moment, sadness apparent in her eyes. She turned to their drawing again and Sora followed her gaze.

"I remember when I came back to Destiny Island about a year ago," she said. "That was when I saw the papou fruit you had drawn here. It made me sad. I couldn't understand why neither of us had suggested we should share one before. I had always known you wanted to share one with me. And I had always wanted to share one with you too. But when I saw this drawing, you were gone. And I had no idea where to look for you. But somehow I always knew I would meet you again. And I decided that when we did, I wasn't going to waste my time so we would get separated again," Kairi turned to Sora again, smiling sadly. She kept their eyes locked as she continued. "But tell me Sora, was I to late after all? Have we maybe already drifted to far apart?"

Sora still didn't know what to say. He took a hesitant step towards the girl on the ground. She was looking at him, waiting for an answer. Why hadn't he thought this through? He had no idea what he was doing, or what he was supposed to say. He just wanted to go find Riku again. No, of course he didn't want that! He could do this. He didn't need Riku for this. Besides, what more could Riku do? He had already made out with him, which probably was unnecessary in the first place. Was he supposed to apologize and kiss Kairi for him too?

Words wouldn't leave Sora's mouth. Something inside him refused him to speak. Instead, he walked over to the redhead and sat down beside her, raising a hand to cup her cheek and leaning towards her. A name kept replaying in his mind. But it wasn't Kairi's.

Sora told himself again that he couldn't go running to Riku like before. But it turned out he didn't have to anyway. The silver haired boy that had haunted his mind this past hour had just walked right into the cave.

Sora, who was only inches away from Kairi's lips, jumped away from her quickly as he became aware of the other boy. Both he and Kairi stared at Riku in surprise and embarrassment.

Riku seemed to be surprised too, but what caught Sora's eye was something different. A look of hurt suddenly flashed over Riku's face.

"I'm sorry," he said carefully, starting to leave. "I didn't mean to-," Before he could finish the sentence, Sora interrupted him.

"It's okay!" he yelled, getting up. "I have to go now anyway. You see – I'm – err – I have to – I'm helping my mom with dinner!"

And with that Sora was gone, running past Riku before he could catch what was happening. He blinked, before turning to Kairi. She looked sad and a little hurt, but suddenly she smiled.

"Yeah, I have to go too," she said, standing up to leave. "See you later, Riku"

Riku didn't have time to say anything more before she was gone too.

He hated himself right now. He had just done what he had sworn not to do. He had sworn to leave them alone and he had just barged in on them as they were about to kiss. And he had also sworn to be happy for them, but what he felt when he saw them was as far from happiness as it could get. He really hated himself right now.

But could he have known Sora and Kairi was going to be at the secret place? And could he help what he felt?

And now he hated himself even more for making up pathetic excuses.

Riku stayed at the secret place for hours, not really doing anything at all. And neither Kairi nor Sora showed up. The thing closest to them there was the drawing they'd made of themselves sharing a papou fruit. And Riku refused to look at that. He didn't want Sora and Kairi to share one. He should really add himself to that drawing as well.

And he wanted to kill himself for thinking that.

Be happy for them, damn it! Why couldn't he just be happy for them! They were his best friends! They deserved much better than a selfish friend like him.

He sighed and stood up to leave the secret place. It was getting late so he should get home. Not that his parents probably missed him though. He had never been particularly close to them. Actually, they had always been more like strangers than parents to him. They didn't really treat him bad, but they pretty much let him do whatever he wanted to do and didn't care what he was doing either.

He found himself walking past his own home and knew he was headed for Sora's. He spent more nights there than at his own house really. He even had a bed of his own in Sora's room. And it could be smart to talk to Sora now anyway, to check if he was okay.

He pulled out his keys as he reached Sora's house. Yes, he even had his own set of keys for it. Sora's parents saw him as a member of the family and he knew he was welcome at any time.

It was completely dark in the house. That meant everybody had gone to bed already. Riku headed upstairs for Sora's room, walking as quietly as he could so he wouldn't wake anyone. He didn't bother to knock on Sora's door before entering. He just walked right in and froze when he saw his bed was already occupied.

He had just done it again. His 'leave them alone' thing really was a disaster.

Kairi was lying in the bed he considered as his own and she seemed to be sleeping. Sora, on the other hand, wasn't sleeping. He had sat up in his bed when Riku entered the room.

"Oh," Riku said dumbly. "I didn't know she was here. I'm sorry. I'll just leave then. I can stay at home tonight,"

He was about to leave, but Sora stopped him.

"Wait!" he said, as loud as he dared since he probably didn't want to wake Kairi. "You can stay Riku,"

Riku looked at the younger boy. He was smiling sweetly at him, and to his own shock Riku felt his face heat up by that smile and those blue eyes staring into his own. But he collected himself quickly.

"I can stay?" he repeated. "Well, where am I supposed to sleep?"

"You can share with me," Sora said innocently, and Riku's face heated up again. Damn, what was wrong with him?! Once more, he managed to regain control and nodded briefly to Sora, walking over and sitting down on the bed. Sora grinned at him and Riku smiled back, before starting to strip of his clothes.

After stripping down to his boxers and throwing his clothes in a heap on the floor, he slid under the blanket and his legs brushed against Sora's as he lay down. Instantly, he blushed a light red. What the hell was wrong with him now? Why was he blushing so much? Since when did he blush anyway?

"Good night, Riku," Sora whispered as Riku looked at him. They lay facing each other.

"Good night," Riku just answered. He didn't really want to ask Sora anything now that Kairi was in the room, even if she was sleeping.

It wasn't until he had closed his eyes to go to sleep and his stomach suddenly growled, he realized how hungry he was. It wasn't exactly weird since he hadn't eaten since lunch. He opened his eyes again to be met by Sora's. Obviously, the other boy had heard the noise his stomach just made.

"Are you hungry or something?" Sora whispered and it seemed he was trying not to laugh out loud.

"Hmph. I guess I am," Riku answered, smiling a bit. "You think it'd be okay if I took something to eat?"

"Of course," Sora said. "I'll go with you,"

Riku smiled as Sora sat up, sitting up as well and then getting out of bed. Sora got out too. And then they went down to the kitchen, both just in their underwear.

As soon as they entered the room, Sora turned on the lights and went for the fridge. Riku watched him as he started searching for something they could eat. But judging by his sigh's he didn't seem to find anything he wanted.

"I can just eat some fruits or something. I'm not that hungry," Riku said and headed for the fruit bowl on the kitchen table. Sora turned to look at him.

"Are you sure?" he asked. "We've got ice cream!"

"Fruit's fine," Riku laughed, grabbed an apple and sat down on top of the table, turning to his friend, who seemed to be considering if he should eat ice cream or not. Finally the other boy closed the freezer, deciding to save the ice cream for later. He yawned loudly as he sat down besides Riku on the kitchen table.

"You tired?" the silver haired boy asked, before taking a bite of his apple.

"Yeah," Sora nodded sleepily. "But that's okay," He grinned widely at Riku who couldn't help but smile back. Sora's smiles always had that effect on him. Seeing the younger boy's azure eyes lit up as he smiled always put him in a good mood. Even if he hadn't been in a good mood for the last hours. And there was still something that was bugging him. How long had Kairi been at Sora's house? Had anything happened between them yet? He was supposed to leave them alone and not ask about it 'till one of them told him, but curiosity was getting the best of him. He cleared his throat.

"So, I'm guessing Kairi isn't mad at you then, since she's here," he said, choosing his words carefully, as to not force Sora to tell him anything. The brunette didn't have to tell him anything if he didn't want to. Riku was supposed to leave them alone, remember?

"No, she's not," Sora said, but he didn't exactly sound happy. It made Riku a bit concerned, but at the same time he couldn't stop the hope that was rising in him. "But – well, I haven't exactly apologized. It's – I dunno – I just don't know what to say to her,"

Riku took another bite from his apple before answering. He still felt he had to be careful about his words.

"Has she talked about the kiss at all?" Riku asked at last, since Sora had fallen silent.

"No, not really," Sora muttered. "But we never kissed you know. I – I just left. She seems upset though. But, you know, I'm not sure how to go about this. I think I'll just see what happens for a while, until I figure out what to say to her and – well, what I feel about her,"

At that Riku's eyes shoot up to look at Sora. He felt the hope from before growing stronger as he thought Sora and Kairi might never get together after all. Talk about going against his own promises. Here he was, feeling happiness at just the slightest sign that Sora didn't have any feelings for Kairi, when he had promised himself to be happy for them.

"Yeah, sounds like a good idea to me," Riku said, sending Sora a smile. "You should at least know what you're doing if you're going to do it," Sora laughed at that, jumping down from the table.

"Are you still hungry?" he asked. "Or can we go to bed now?"

"No, I'm fine," Riku answered, jumping down as well. "But you didn't have to go with me, you know,"

"I know," Sora said, grinning wildly as they started towards the brunette's bedroom. "But I wanted to,"

Riku didn't say anything. And neither of them spoke as they walked up the stairs. He wasn't really tired himself, but it was getting late so he might as well go to bed too. And besides, he was having Sora all to himself tonight. He wanted to slap himself as he realized how that had sounded. But it was only his thoughts, so no one could hear it anyway. And he hadn't meant it the way it sounded. He had meant… What had he meant?

"Okay, be quiet. I don't want to wake Kairi," Sora said and Riku pushed away his confusing thoughts to nod at the keyblade master.

Silently, they went over to Sora's bed and slid down under the blankets, Sora against the wall and Riku facing Kairi's bed. The bed was pretty small so Riku kept himself very close to the edge so he wouldn't touch Sora. Sora on the other hand, seemed to have other plans as Riku suddenly felt something warm against his back. He tensed up as he felt the younger boy snuggle against his back.

"Riku?" the other boy whispered hesitantly and Riku made a small sound to let him know he was listening, relaxing his body again. "There's something that's been bugging me," Sora continued, but he took another pause before explaining. "I – I don't know what happened earlier today. You know, about – about our kiss,"

Riku tensed up again. He wasn't expecting this. At least he didn't think Sora would bring it up now of all times. He was pretty sure he didn't have the answer to whatever Sora was going to ask. The kiss was still confusing him too, but he had just been trying to forget about it, even though he still felt a weird want to do it again, having Sora's lips on his and his tongue massaging Riku's mouth. Damn, he needed to stop this thoughts of his right now. But it wasn't his fault. He was a teenager who had just had his first kiss, how could he not want to do it again? He just had to stop thinking of Sora as the person he wanted to kiss. That was just because he was the only person he had ever kissed before. Maybe this share-their-first-kiss-thing wasn't so smart after all. Not that he had ever thought it was.

"I didn't mean to – err – to touch you like I did," Sora continued, making Riku blush furiously. He was thankful it was dark in the room and that he was lying with his back to Sora. If Sora only knew how much he had enjoyed those touches. "I understand it made you uncomfortable. I – I don't know why I did it. I wasn't thinking. I just kinda' lost myself, you know. I'm sorry. I understand if you're mad,"

"I'm not mad," Riku said as he turned around to face the younger boy. He swallowed as he realized how close they were. "I wasn't exactly thinking either. I don't know what was happening. Maybe we should just forget about it,"

"Yeah," Sora mumbled. "Probably. But Riku? You know, it felt kinda' nice,"

Riku felt his face heat up again. He couldn't help but feel a bit satisfied though.

"It did," he agreed carefully, chuckling quietly as he saw Sora's grin. "We should sleep now. 'Night Sora,"

"'Night Riku," Sora whispered back, before sneaking his hands around Riku and pressing his face into his shoulder. Riku gaped dumbly in shock.

"So-Sora?" he stuttered. He stuttered. First he was blushing every other second and now he was stuttering. Seriously, what was wrong with him? "Are you okay?" His voice sounded hoarse and thin, and he heard Sora laugh quietly at him.

"I'm fine," the younger stated. "Your body's warm. But I'll let go, if you want me to," Riku swallowed again, closing his eyes slowly.

"No, it's okay," he said, before putting an arm around the other boy hesitantly. Sora gave a small sound of approval. Sora was naïve, Riku knew he was. And there was nothing else to his sudden cuddling than that. He should have understood it at once. He was only doing it because that was what he wanted to right now. He wasn't thinking about how Riku could misunderstand it.

Riku sighed and hugged Sora closer to his body. He could at least enjoy it, if they were going to sleep like this. It wasn't that he didn't want to. He definitely really wanted to, and to be honest his feelings was starting to scare him. They were going to make his 'leave them alone' promise much harder to keep.

A/N: Haha, in that little part where Kairi's talking to Sora I was getting so sick of her. I seriously just wanted to give her a heart attack or something. But that would've really ruined my plot :P. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those Kairihaters that just wants her to die. I thinks she's okay actually, but this definitely won't be a SoraxKairi story.

There's probably some typos and grammar mistakes here. But I hope you bare with me :P

Okay, review please! xD
