I didn't think this one would be so long. So much for being short.


The doorbell rang in the large house and Riku stepped back from the door and waited for someone to get it. He opened the binder he had with him and looked over the information he had gotten at the public library for Mr. Leonhart's class to fill up the poster Sora was in charge of for the moment. The poster was only to provide visual attention and he and Sora were supposed to make a speech about a legend and only use the poster to point things out. Riku closed the binder and looked at the door wondering what was taking Sora so long to open the door. He knew they should have gone to his house. He was going to push the button again when the door opened and a very unhappy Sora stood there with pieces of colored paper all over him.

"Umm..." Riku tried not to laugh so he bit at his bottom lip and looked away for a second before looking back at him. Yeah it didn't help. A laugh came out and Sora looked at him annoyed and started to close the door on him. "No! Sora wait I'm sorry! It's just that….what happened to you?" The grin didn't leave his face and although he wasn't laughing anymore it still annoyed Sora.

"Just get inside." Sora said and grabbed his wrist and pulled him in so coming in wasn't a choice. Riku followed him upstairs and the closer they got to Sora's room, the more pieces of paper were seen scattered on the floor. Sora opened the door to his room and moved back gesturing for Riku to go in first and Riku gasped as he stepped inside.

There was construction paper all over the room like if Sora had vacuumed the paper up then spit it back out of the machine for the heck of it. Actually, there was a high possibility that was what happened here and Riku looked up at the ceiling shocked to see that somehow there were pieces of paper up there too! He looked back at Sora that shifted his weight from foot to foot before going in and ignoring Riku's questioning look. The younger male sat on his bed and casually peeled a piece off him and let it fall to the floor like the many others already there.

"This is why I didn't want to decorate the poster." He held out a hand at all the mess then continued to take more off so Riku sat by him and took some from the spikey nest Sora called hair. Sora mumbled a silent "Thank you." and Riku simply smiled back. After an hour off picking the paper off Sora and everything else in the room they began to work on their project. The whole time Riku was cutting up small pieces off information then stapling on the poster Sora stayed quiet so Riku looked at his friend.

"Something wrong Sora?" Silence from the brunet and Riku leaned the poster against the wall examining his work. From behind him Sora tapped a pencil to his desk looking at the poster as well and made a displeased sound so Riku turned around to look at him.

"The poster looks girly" he said then pointed his pencil to a corner of the poster at a yellow star looking thing, "and the paopu came out ugly." Riku looked at the fruit and it was sort of misshaped as one of the points was jutting out more than the rest. Their poster actually did look girly and he turned to look back at Sora.

"Of course it looks girly. It's supposed to." Sora still didn't seem convinced and he pressed the butt of the pencil to his lips thinking about it.

"I guess you're right. The paopu legend is something the girls like." Riku turned the poster over and took a sharpie from the can of writing utensils that Sora had on his desk and wrote his name. He gave it to Sora once he was done and Sora rolled the chair closer to the poster then wrote his name on it not as neat as Riku but it was still something.

"Okay I have to be home by eight and its six-thirteen so I have some time to hang out with you." He looked at the watch on his wrist and Sora rolled back in his chair to his desk and looked through his video games for a good multiplayer one.

"Kirby Air Ride? Super Smash Bros. Melee? Mario Kart Double Dash?" he pulled out the three games and showed Riku the boxes and Riku tapped the Kirby one. Sora grinned and got off his chair going over to his television and pulling out the silver cube to pop the small disc inside. "When I get the Hydra I'm going to be on your ass so bad."

"You mean when I get the Hydra. You can have Dragoon." Riku said getting the second player control and waiting for Sora to get them in City Trail and as always they started off with the crappy rides. "They're always in the red boxes." he said moving his blue Kirby around the city smashing the red boxes getting the glide and speed items they dropped. Sora had abandoned his vehicle once he found a Dark Star and frowned when he by accident touching the sleeping item so his yellow Kirby fell asleep driving. "Sucks to be you." Riku said passing by once he had gotten the sword item and stabbed Sora with it. He laughed as Sora tried to smack the control out of his hands and the two later laughed and howled at the random events that accorded in the game like the when the meteors fell all over the city .

After a while off throwing each other off their rides to get the Hydra pieces from each other Riku stood up and turned off the GameCube.

"I could have gotten it." Sora pouted but put up the controls as Riku got his binder from the desk to leave.

"See you tomorrow at school Sora!" he said opening the door and Sora walked him out and waved bye at him from the front door. When Riku was out of sight he went back in to his room and put up the game moving the GameCube back in its drawer by the TV. When that was done he went over to the poster and looked at their work nodding to himself at a job well done. He then turned it over to its plain undecorated side and looked at their names tracing Riku's name envious at how fancy Riku wrote. Suddenly he smiled wickedly.

"Well that went well." The idea had come to him after he had finished decorating the poster and had debated with himself if he should redo the paopu since it had come out deformed but since he had worked so hard, he felt he needed a reward. So his evil plan was born and he threw the left over scarps around his room and then tore more paper up and added that to what was already thrown in his room and even threw some on himself. Sora did it too look like he had worked hard and at some point had stopped to ask himself if it was worth it. Was it? Well his mind reasoned, if it got Riku to touch him, even if it was only to take the pieces off him, then it was worth it. He smiled thinking of Riku then that smile faded slowly as he remembered the speech they would have to give together in Speech Class. "Ugh I hate that class." he said putting the poster back against the wall and going down to look for something to eat.

The next day at school went like all the other Fridays did. Everyone was excited about their plans for the weekend and teachers weren't giving out too much work knowing the students had a small attention span that day. Riku ended up getting him and Sora late that day to their first class when Riku's fan girls wouldn't stop chasing them around so Riku ended up pulling Sora with him in the restroom where they couldn't follow them. After Sora had checked to see if the coast was clear he gave Riku the okay and they ran over to Ms. Gainsborough's class of Multimedia. Riku got off easy with a warning not to let it happen again and also because his charm to make anyone melt at the way he looked at you. But Sora got bitched at and after the tiring fuss was over he took his seat next to Riku's. Riku smiled at him but Sora crossed his arms over his chest and turned his face away sharply.

"Sora?" he poked Sora gently on his side to get his attention but Sora only moved his seat farther away from Riku's. "Look I'm sorry," he started but Sora didn't meet his gaze; he had turned his attention to his computer to work on their assignment. The whole day it went like this; Sora ignoring Riku even up till their last class of speech.

The first ones to make their speech were Selphie and Tidus whom had made their speech about the bamboo cutting tree. From what Riku understood, a long time ago a man was cutting a bamboo tree and found a baby inside taking her as his own child. The baby grew up to be a very beautiful woman and then she had a child of her own. Her father was furious at her for having a child without his permission and kicked her out of the house but not her baby. The girl managed to gain her baby back but was chased by her father into the bamboo forest. Afraid harm would come to her baby, she hid the baby in a bamboo tree and ended up forgetting what tree she hid her in so she spend the rest of her life searching for her.

He wasn't paying as much attention as he should and looked at Mr. Leonhart when he said in an annoyed voice, "Riku would you please make your way to the front of the class where Sora is waiting for you?" Riku blushed embarrassed but did what he was told. A few girls giggled at him and he made his way next to Sora that gave him a huge smile. Too huge. Riku began with the speech smoothly and then when he was done with his part looked at Sora that stared back. His expression was blank and as seconds passed Riku began to fret. Why wasn't Sora saying anything? "We're waiting." Mr. Leonhart said and Riku looked at Sora with a pleading look but Sora looked at the floor finding it more interesting.

Shit! He hadn't memorized Sora's lines and he continued where he had left off struggling to grasp words.

Sora watched Riku struggle and after, oh about a good five minutes, he took over and Riku silenced immediately. After they were done and back in their seats Riku glared at the back of Sora's head.

"What was that for?" he murmured leaning forward in his seat closer to Sora.

"For getting Ms. Gainsborough mad at me." Sora said back paying attention to the next speech so Riku leaned back in his chair still glaring. After a while the bell rung and the class was dismissed. Sora ran out of the classroom as fast as he could since Riku could now get him back for making him look like an ass and the glare had never left his face not once during the whole class. He searched around all the busses looking for number one-sixty nine. Both he and Riku rarely rode the bus but if it ever rained or they were just plain lazy to walk home they rode the bus. Sora just hoped Riku would forget he could get on the bus and after getting in an empty seat in the back, looked out at the students filing out of school. Oh too late.

"Sora!" Riku climbed up the small steps of the bus and came over to him fast. Sora pathetically moved his backpack off to use it as something to hit Riku with but Riku shoved him down on his seat and sat on his waist.

"Ah Riku you fat lard!" Sora hit against Riku's chest trying to move his heavy friend off but stopped and giggled when Riku tickled his sides instead of responding with violence. He covered Sora's mouth with a hand so the bus driver wouldn't hear and look at them and Sora flung his arms around widely then grabbed Riku's hair and yanked on it. Riku could handle a few yanks to his hair and grinned as Sora started to lose his strength and sweat from the consent giggling. People were starting to stare as the bus filled up and Sora blushed but Riku didn't mind and unzipped Sora's jacket to better intensify the tickles. It wasn't so long after that the tears started to come out and Riku finally stopped and removed his hand. Sora was breathing hard under him and he couldn't move too tired to budge.

Riku was breathing the same as him but not as tired and then their other friend Kairi got on the bus. Oh snap…. She came in smiling and waved her hand at Riku when she saw him but once she was close enough to see Sora beneath him the smile faded away. The scene unfolded before her seemed to imply something vulgar and she glanced at the two.

"What's going on here?" Sora opened his eyes since had closed them once Riku stopped and looked at her as she looked back at them strangely. Riku had one of those rare moments when he actually went with what it looked like had been happening and smiled at Kairi.

"I was attempting to rape Sora." Sora suddenly had all his strength again and pushed Riku off him.

"No Kairi! Riku's just being stupid and an asshole! You know how he is!" But Kairi's delicate features paled and she forced a smile for him and left to sit far away from them. Sora groaned in his hands then punched Riku's shoulder as he sat by him once he was sitting properly down. "I hate you. So much."

Once the bus went on its way the two stayed quiet with Sora looking out the window annoyed and Riku playing some game on his phone. When the bus came to their street Riku got off calmly while Sora came out in a fast pace and Kairi acting like a stranger towards them. Good byes were weak and Sora went in his house dropping his backpack by the door once he was inside.

"Hi." someone said by his side and he screamed and jumped back then glared at the person.

"Get the hell out of my house Riku! How did you even come in?" Riku pretended to have his feelings hurt and made a sad face.

"You don't want me here? I thought we were best friends!" He faked a sob and covered his face with his hands then said muffled, "You hurt my feelings Sora!" Sora tried to look annoyed at him but he was finding it funny how Riku was talking to him in an almost child-like voice.

"Aww poor Riku. If I hug you will you forgive me?" Sora said in a way a mother would talk to her child and Riku peeked at him between his fingers grinning but continued playing along.

"Hug!" he said opening his arms for Sora to come into and Sora laughed but otherwise did it. "Let's go to your room." he said unwinding from the hug and Sora followed behind Riku. They entered the room and Riku sat on his bed before Sora joined him after taking off his jacket.

"So how did you get in?" Sora asked again and Riku gave him a sly smile.

"Through the backdoor." The backdoor was always unlocked in case Sora forgot his keys. Riku took off his own jacket and said to Sora, "Your rooms hot."

"Then take off your clothes." Sora said back simply playing and Riku looked at him wide eyed but then grinned.

"Alright." Now it was Sora's turn to look at Riku wide eyed as he slipped the shirt over his head and exposed his toned body to him and oh how sexy it was indeed! Riku let the shirt fall lazily to the ground and flipped his hair moving it out of the way. Sora swore that if Riku did take off his pants he would attack him right here, right now. Riku didn't and instead he stared at Sora.

"What?"

"Your turn." Sora was a bit disappointed Riku hadn't gone that far and Riku seemed to notice because he added, "If you take off your shirt I'll take off my pants."

"What makes you think I want to see you without your pants? Don't flatter yourself." He blushed as Riku laughed then moved his hands over his hips.

"Sora, I'm too sexy for you to not want to see me without my pants." To prove it, he did a slow turn so Sora could have a good view of his whole upper body and Sora shut his eyes tight and gripped on the bed sheets tightly. There was no way he was removing his clothes and he couldn't believe Riku was making such an offer. The bed creaked and before Sora knew what was happening Riku had already pinned him to the bed by moving his arms above his head holding on his wrists. One of his knees was between his legs and Sora was now blushing furiously.

Riku leaned his face close to Sora's and Sora turned his face away but it didn't faze Riku. He licked the exposed skin instead. Sora gasped and Riku took this chance while Sora was startled to quickly tie his hands to the bedpost using his own jacket. Sora whined and tugged on his bounds.

"Sora relax, I'm not going to hurt you." Riku creased the side of his face to show he wasn't and Sora relaxed a bit but still watched Riku's every movement carefully. "I'm just going to play with you for a few minutes but I promise you'll enjoy it."

Sora's mind started racing with thoughts and he suddenly feared this Riku not that he hadn't feared the other Riku when he was in his moods. What was Riku going to do to him? What made Riku act like this and why was he looking at him like that?

Riku slowly slid Sora's shirt up and Sora inhaled sharply at the feeling of cold air against his exposed abdomen.

"Riku…." Sora murmured getting tense and Riku nibbled on his waist gently making small shivers go through his body and slightly tickle him. Riku changed his nibbles to butterfly kisses and he moaned softly before Riku came all the way up to kiss him on his lips. They both moaned as their tongues met and Sora melted in the kiss. When the kiss broke Riku sat back and unzipped his jeans so Sora's eyes widen again. "Um Riku? I'm not comfortable with this…. Too fast don't you think?"

Riku looked at Sora and then back at what he had been doing to Sora's zipper and nodded.

"Okay. I won't go there."

"Good because that would have counted as rape. Unlike on the bus earlier." Sora said smiling a little since he had managed to free his hands without Riku noticing. Riku leaned in again to kiss him and Sora moved his hands on Riku's shoulders pushing him off against the wall. Riku seemed surprised to find himself against the wall and Sora pinned Riku's left wrist to the wall. He gave Riku a quick peck on the lips, too fast for Riku's taste, and Riku leaned in to capture his lips but Sora leaned back giggling. Riku groaned and pulled Sora close by his waist and kissed him with Sora purring like some cat.

"So then does this mean?"

"Yes." Sora said letting go and Riku smiled as he moved off the bed and picked up his shirt from where it had landed on the floor. While Riku was putting his shirt on Sora got off bed quickly and sneaked out of the room. When Riku was done he looked around the room for Sora.

"Sora?" Riku went downstairs and found Sora downstairs eating cereal.

"Got hungry." Sora said flashing Riku his trade mark grin. Riku looked at the cereal box on the table and raised his brow at it.

"You're eating Dora the Explorer cereal? Really?" Sora threw him a piece of the cereal but Riku moved out of the way. It hit the refrigerator door instead and slid down its cold surface leaving a trail of milk in its presence.

"So what? It tastes good and I can't help it if my mom is blind sometimes and mistakes it for Captain Crunch." He put a mouth full of it in his mouth and Riku tickled him so Sora struggled to keep the cereal inside and not outside. "Mmmfff!" Unfortunately he couldn't stand it and spit it out making a mess of cereal and milk on the floor. "Look what you made me do!" he said wiping some milk away from his mouth and Riku looked at the mess too.

"You could have swallowed it."

"I could have choked on it!" Riku looked at him innocently and Sora sighed and got up to clean the mess with some paper towels.

"Hey Sora I have to go home now." Sora was still cleaning as he mumbled an alright. Riku bend down to kiss him on his cheek and Sora returned it. "Bye! Sorry about tickling you!" Riku called out leaving. Sora finished up then sat back down to eat his forgotten cereal but didn't touch it. He was thinking of what he and Riku would do tomorrow and how they'd act now knowing how they felt about each other.

Back at Riku's house Riku was thinking the same thing except that he was in bed instead of in the kitchen and his thoughts were way more advanced. He wasn't sure how things would turn out but he was sure of one thing:

"Sora's always going to bottom."
