I'm Alive! lol =) Sure, I still have a bit of a cough....but that will be gone shortly I'm sure.

I have decided to move onto a new subject once I am finished with this last KH story.....
What it will be, I'm not quite sure yet.

But it might be Ouran Highschool Host club.....or even another Bleach fic.

So Exciting.

But! For now I'm not sure how much longer this little special will drag on...
This might be the last chapter, or it might be as far as 3rd away from last. We shall have to see...ne?

:D

WARNING: CONTAINS.....Do I really need to explain all this again? I didn't think so.

DISCLAIMER: Obviously I don't own the game. I think you can tell that because THEY (square Enix) made poor Axel keep his hands off ickle Roxas.
...no little Axel/Roxas babies, and so on. So sad. =/

Together for the Holidays:
Part 3

Christmas is here
::::::::::::::::::::::::::

(3rd person)

For the next day and a half, Roxas could hardly breathe.
If he wasn't busy running about with recipes in hand....he was running around cleaning.
Axel did his best to help out where he could.
Though Roxas wasn't much for letting him help.
"It's my job." The Blond had told him, forcing a small smile as he wiped his brow with one arm.
Axel then asked Riku the best way to help his husband out.

Riku smiled almost knowingly. The silver-haired teen placed a hand on Axel's shoulder.
"When it comes down to it...." He began, "Don't help him clean."
When Axel looked at him, confused, Riku smiled a bit wider as he finished.
"Just be there for him when he's done."

Axel decided to follow the advice given for once.
At the end of the day he was there, waiting in the nice clean living room with tea and blanket in hand.
Roxas walked in looking rather tired. But upon seeing his husband waiting for him on the couch,
he gained tears in his eyes and settled in the red-head's lap, glad for the support and comfort.

As busy as Roxas had been, Sora found he simply couldn't sit still.
He couldn't help but let his brother's nerves catch to him; making him slightly edgy about their Dad and Cloud's arrival the following night.
Riku pleaded with him not to worry, though it didn't help much.
So Riku worked on keeping the bouncy teen occupied.

It was early morning on Christmas eve when the first real heavy snow came.
Axel was the first to see it after getting up and around for work.
He had a half day because of the Holiday, but he had to be there sooner.
Once he saw the snow out the window he had to stick his head back into the bedroom.
Roxas was sleeping lightly so he only had to call the Blonde's name to get his attention.
When the groggy male sat up, Axel told him to look out the window.
So Roxas, Rubbing his sleep-filled eyes, pulled aside the curtain.
It wasn't long before Roxas jumped up, eyes wide and eager as he lept from the bed.
"Sora! Sora, It snowed!! Riku, get up! Come look!!" He was shouting, grabbing Axel's hand after pulling on his coat and boots.

Sora, less excited and more sleepy, was more or less hanging on Riku as the second pair made there way to the front room.
Sora gave a small groan as Riku ruffled his hair, pointing out the door.
Roxas was laughing and spinning around as he tried to catch stray snowflakes on his tongue.
Axel grinned as he ran and grabbed the other, resulting in them both falling over into the soft arms of the freshly fallen snow.
Sora couldn't hide the smile on his face as he watched the other two.
That was, until he was yelling when Riku picked him up and carried him outside.
Sora might have complained afterwords.....but it wasn't long until all four were playing in the crisp winter air.

A few minutes later Axel had to say goodbye, off to work for the next 4 hours.
After the others watched him go they all headed in for some hot tea, Riku having a cup of coffee.

The house was all clean, the presents all wrapped.
All that was left was for Cloud to come over a bit later to help Roxas start in on the Christmas dinner,
and of course the exchange of certain gifts later after that.
Leon would be along later after work.

At work, Axel was quick to get his main work done.
He had worked on his assignment the night before that he had been ordered by his boss to prepare.
So basically, once he had a few other simply tasks done he would be free for the rest of the day, and Holiday.

Around 10am, Riku and Sora headed over to visit with Riku's family.
Riku's parents weren't big on Christmas...so the pair simply brought a card and some cookies that Sora had baked.
Riku smiled at Sora as he knocked on the door. Sora looking a little nervous as he smiled softly.
It wasn't but a moment later that Riku's mom answered the door, a bright smile on her face.
"Oh! Hello Riku dear, Hello Sora. You're looking well!" She greeted, quickly giving them both warm hugs after they came in and had removed their coats.
Riku was greeted by his dad with a handshake and a few muttered words, while Sora and Riku's mother headed right into the kitchen to talk.
For Sora this was one of the rare times he actually felt like a part of Riku's entire life.
Like he might just fit in completely.

Riku and his father had settled into the living room.
When Riku's mom and Sora had tried to join them, They were told it was time that Riku and his father have some time alone, to talk.
Sora didn't like the sound of that, but Riku's mother consoled him.
"No worries sweetheart." She told him, her gray eyes shinning as she smiled and poured Sora some warm milk to go with a few cookies.
Sora nodded his head, smiling slightly as he sighed. Dipping a cookie he looked thoughtful.
When Rinoa, Riku's mom Noticed this, she sat down next to him with a knowing smile.
"Don't let it get you down." She told him, reaching over to rub his back lightly.
Sora looked up, "I-I'm not....it's just......" He sighed, shaking his head slightly.
Rinoa nodded, "I know, it's difficult. Not knowing weather he plans to ask the question or just leave things the way they are. Right?"
Sora visibly blushed, but nodded.
Rinoa gave a small hum. "It's easy enough to see he loves you very much, I'm sure you have to need to worry about losing him."
Sora nodded once more, nibbling lightly on a softened cookie.
"If you give him time He'll decide on his own, soon enough. I'm sure you'll be happy with the outcome. Both of you."
She spoke like the smart woman Sora knew her to be. Soon the young brunette and the middle-aged woman were laughing light-heartedly together.

When Riku and Sora finally left, it was around 1pm.
Once out in the truck Sora asked if Riku had had a good talk with his father.
Riku smiled over at Sora, reaching over to hold the others hand with is free one.
"It was productive." He answered, and would say no more on the subject.
Sora shook his head, knowing it was useless to try and press any further, so he just left it alone.
He got his boyfriend back however when Riku asked about Sora's time with Riku's mom.
Sora just smiled widely. "It was very productive....and helpful." But he wouldn't tell Riku anymore.

On the way back to the apartment, Sora looked out the window mostly.
There were a lot of kids out playing. All of them were out of school for a few weeks due to Christmas vacation.
Sora couldn't help but giggle softly as he saw a few of them having a snowball fight.
Riku noticed this and smiled softly as he gave Sora's hand a gentle squeeze.
Sora looked over, blushing as he saw the look in Riku's eye.
It would be hard to miss the love that just radiated from them.
Once they pulled into the parking lot, Riku stopped Sora from getting out right away.
With a gentle hand on his lover's cheek Riku guided Sora in for a warm, passionate kiss.
It caught Sora totally off gaurd. the Brunette unable to resist the gentle urging of Riku's tongue on his lips.
How long they were out there neither of them were sure.
But when they walked into the apartment both of them simply seem to glow.

When they walked in, Cloud was already there.
Both Cloud and Roxas were giggling. Almost elbow deep in cooking.
Cloud look like he was having a wonderful time. The man's blue eyes were sparkling as He and Roxas paused to greet Riku and Sora.
Roxas was eager to show Sora what they were cooking at that moment. It would appear to be some sort of baked apples....
All Sora could tell was they smelled sweet and tasty. The Brunette tried to taste part of one;
Only managing to be shooed out of the kitchen by Cloud, the man trying his best to look firm as he failed to hide his bright smile.

As it was already going on 4 o'clock, the table was shaping up nicely with good smelling food.
There was a large honey roasted ham, along with Potatoes, steamed vegetables, and a few other dishes that were yet in the works.
Sora couldn't help but let his mouth water at all the tantalizing smells....
Making Riku laugh as he almost had to drag the brunette from the dinning room.
Soon after that the pair disappeared back into their room, waiting to be notified of the last guest's arrival....
At least that's what Roxas figured.

Roxas and Cloud were just finishing up when Axel got home from work.
The Red-head swept Roxas up for a long embrace as the young blond greeted him in the front room.
Cloud had a slight blush as he waited near the door way.
After the couple broke apart, Axel cleared his throat slightly as he went over to shake Cloud's hand.
Cloud smiled softly, taking Axel's hand. "Hello, Axel." He said warmly, before placing his arms around his 'son-in-law' for a brief hug.
Axel, a little caught off gaurd, hugged him back before giving a small grin.
"Hey Cloud." He said, before glancing passed the man into the kitchen. He sniffed the air and made playful growing noise.
"Mmmm....Smells delicious, Babe." He told Roxas, causing his husband to blush with pride.
"W-Well, Cloud does have a lot of helpful recipes...." Roxas mumbled, causing Cloud to blush slightly and shake his head; his spikey blond hair bouncing slightly.
Axel couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. "Cloud, you could have been Roxas' birth-mother." He laughed.
At this, Cloud beamed, his smile wider then ever as Roxas smiled and hugged him.

Axel was so glad that he had finally agreed to have Roxas' parents over.
His step dad looked so happy too, and Roxas was just floating.
The Red-head looked down the hall as he heard Sora and Riku's door opening, Sora just coming out of the room.
Sora smiled widely as he walked right in and gave Cloud a hug.
"Hey, Mom." He said, causing Cloud to smile widely, blushing as his eyes glistened.
"Hello, Sora." The Older blond said as he held the teen for a moment.
Roxas watched to two and looked like he was almost about to cry. He felt so happy that Sora was able to move on from his horrible experience
with their birth-mother. Even more so that Cloud had adjusted so well, and that he didn't mind Sora calling him 'Mom'.

"...Am I to late already? I didn't think the mushy stuff started until later...."
Leon's voice came from the front doorway of the kitchen, causing everyone to look up sharply.
Cloud, of course, let go of Sora and quickly made his way to his husband. Leon had a small smirk as Cloud embraced him,
the later standing on his toes a bit to lean up and press his lips to Leon's.
Sora made a face, playfully pretending to cover his eyes with his hands. "Ewwww....Mom, Dad, get a room." He teased.
Roxas giggled and gave Sora's shoulder a slight shove. Everyone having a good laugh.
Somewhere in all of this, Riku had made his way out of the back bedroom, and was soon close by Sora.

It wasn't long before everyone was sat down at the table ready to eat.
Sora of course dug right in. The Brunette heaping his plate with food, much to the amazement of his silver-haired counter part.
Roxas and Cloud hardly had a chance to stop blushing, as everyone tended to shower them with compliments on the good food.
Even Leon said the ham was good. It wasn't often he voiced his compliments; so of course Cloud clammed up for a while, pushing his own food around his plate
as he blushed a deep crimson-like color.
This was the first time that Sora could remember ever having a Christmas dinner with his family.
There wasn't a moment that someone wasn't laughing, or telling a story about something that had happened since the last time they had all been together.
It was such a cozy feeling. At one point Roxas thought he would explode from all the wonderful feelings running around in his gut.
Axel kept a close eye on Roxas, fearing he might burst into tears. His husband just looked so happy. It was easy to keep a grin going on his
own face due to this fact.
Riku was feeling about the same, watching Sora for most of the time.

At one point Leon finally had to ask the one question that Riku was dreading....
"So, are you planning on staying with my son?" Leon asked, clearly directed at Riku.
At this the whole table suddenly got quiet. Sora just looked at his dad with a surprised look about him, his fork paused in mid-air, the bite of food
that rest on it nearly sliding off.
Riku tried to calmly set down his glass, clearing his throat slightly.
"I, uh...I do plan on it, Sir." He said, unable to so much as glance in Sora's direction for the moment.
Sora was blushing just slightly in anticipation.
Leon looked at Riku for a moment, his gaze as intense as if he were trying to shoot lasers through a wall of steel.
"Do you plan on popping the question any time soon?"
Sora set down his fork quickly, "Dad-" But his interjection was cut off by Riku's raised hand.
Riku nodded solemly. "That I do, Sir."
Sora blinked in disbelief. Had Riku been thinking about it all this time? If so, for how long?
Roxas was the first to break the silence that came after.
"W-Well, I-if everyone has finished....There are P-presents in the living room...."
As the young blond stood, So did Axel.
Cloud quickly following suit. "I think that's a good idea." He said softly, resting a hand on Leon's arm.
As they all moved on to the living room, Sora and Riku stayed seated at the table.

Sora sat silently, pushing his food around his plate with his fork. Not really daring to attempt to look at Riku.
Riku sat there with is hands folded on the table.
"...Sora, I-" The Silver-haired teen began, but Sora sudden got up.
"We should, uhm...Go join everyone, right?" Sora managed to almost squeek out. It was easy to see the poor guy was a bit flustered.
As Sora headed out of the kitchen/dinning area, Riku stood slowly, shaking his head as he followed behind his lover.

Sora wasn't up set with Riku, more like the opposite.
He just would have liked to have Riku speak to him about it first.....or maybe even not know about his intentions until he proposed or something.
Finding out due to his Dad's prying was far from Sora's liking.

The air was a little on the tense side as everyone sat in the living room.
Leon and Cloud, along with Sora, all sat on the couch.
Axel sat in his arm chair with Roxas sitting on the floor at his husbands feet.
Riku stood to the side of the couch, nearest to Leon.
Before the air could get any thicker....Axel suggested that they go ahead and exchange gifts.
Much to Roxas' delite.

Roxas and Sora got their presents from their father and step-'mom' first.
As Sora tore open his present quickly, Roxas took it slowly.
Once Sora's was open he grinned and held it up for everyone else to see.
It was a DVD box set of a popular TV show he liked. He could remember telling Cloud about it at one time.
He gave his parents thank-you hugs while Roxas finished opening his.
Roxas gasped and smiled at Cloud as he held up a new coffee maker.
This one made on cup at a time, so he and Axel could make their own differently.
More hugs were shared as Roxas gave his thanks.

Leon stood quietly and handed Riku a small package, it was flat and no bigger then the palm of Riku's hand.
Riku opened it quietly as Leon sat back down, Cloud making himself at home in the brunette's arms.
In side the package was a small picture with writing on the back.
Riku read it before nodding to Leon and shaking his hand.
When Sora asked what it said, Riku pretended not to hear him as Cloud got up to give Axel his small package.

Axel was surprized as he opened it. His green eyes going wide.
Cloud simply smiled softly. "Every man of the house needs one." He said.
Axel pulled out a beautifully crafted gentleman's watch. It was silver, with a small intricate design around the face of the watch.
Axel was speechless for a moment before he thanked both Cloud and Leon curtly. Not wanting to get to emotional.

They all sat together for a while longer before Leon declared it was time for them to depart.
Cloud and Roxas shed a few tears as everyone said good bye. Once again thanking the older couple for coming over, and for the gifts.
Once they were gone and everything was quiet once more, Roxas told Axel he was tired, and the red-head took his husband off to bed.
Leaving Sora with Riku in the living room.

Sora sat on the couch again, his hands in his lap as he sat silently.
Riku came over to stand almost in front of Sora.
Yet the Brunette never looked up.

Running a hand through his long hair, Riku sighed.
"Sora." He said, reaching down to tilt said male's head up by his chin.
"...Are you upset with me?"
Sora shoved his lovers hand away lightly, turning his head to the side.
"No..." He said flatly.
He felt like he had been invisable during dinner....when his father talked with Riku about his future plans.
When Riku had told Leon that he did intend to propose to Sora, The young Brunette was devastated.
It was like the biggest surprise of his life was ruined.
It wasn't such a good feeling.

Riku sighed, finally going on his knees in front of Sora.
"Look, I'm sorry. I know you heard everything I told your dad...but what was I supposed to do? You're his son."
Sora looked at him with slightly teary eyes.
"I know...but-..."
He shook his head, shutting his mouth tightly.

Riku took his young lovers hand in his.
Slowly he leaned in and kissed Sora's forehead.
Then the tip of his nose.
Before finally reaching the brunette's lips.
They were sweet, gentle kisses.
Leaving Sora little room to be upset.

Finally Sora gave in, his arms going around Riku's neck gently as he kissed the silver-haired man back at last.
As the kisses grew in intensity, Riku pulled back. Panting just slightly.
It was then that Riku sat back, clearing his throat slightly.
"You know....it's not like i would only do it because your dad wants me too."
Sora looked down again and sighed. Slowly the brunette nodded.
He felt Riku take his hand again, and Sora simply closed his eyes.
Sometimes he wondered why his dad had to be so....like a dad.

Riku's voice broke his his train of thought.
"-Sora?" Riku's voice came softly again. This time Sora's eyes opened and the brunette looked at him.
In Riku's hand was a small open box with a beautiful silver engagement ring in side it.
Sora swallowed hard. "R-riku....I...uh..."
Riku smiled apologetically. "Sora....I was planning on asking you tonight, weather or not your dad decided to pester me about it."
"If you love me....should you really have to think about it?

At that, Sora let out the breath he had been holding. Flinging his arms around Riku's shoulder.
"...okay...." He whispered, holding on tightly to his lover.
Riku seemed confused for a moment, "O-Okay.....you mean...?"
Sora laughed happily, "Riku, Yes! I'll marry you!"

Riku stood up in one fluid motion, taking Sora with him.
He wrapped his arms around Sora's waist and spun the brunette around.
Sora let his head go back, tears of joy pricking the corners of his eyes as he laughed; Riku's laughter joining his.
When the spinning finally stopped, the pair sat down on the couch. Sora cuddled in Riku's lap.
Sora looked at the ring now on his finger....amazed and touched that Riku would pick Christmas eve to propose.
The brunette looked up at his now fiance's sea-green eyes. Riku looked so happy too, and Sora was glad of it.
But there was something Sora wanted to know. "Riku....What was it my dad gave you?" He asked.
Riku smiled softly, reaching over to the side table for the small picture. Handing it to Sora.
It was a picture of Sora as a toddler in his fathers arms, a slightly older Roxas standing and holding onto Leon's leg.
Both small boys were as cute as a button, and grinning widely.
Sora turned it over...and tears came to his eyes.
'These are my babies, and always will be. I love them both very much. Concider Sora my gift to you. Don't dissapoint me...-Leon'
"Dad...." Sora whispered as he placed the picture back on the side table. He looked up at Riku and saw his lover's shining eyes.
It was Sora who leaned up and connected their lips again; but Riku quickly deepened the kiss.

Sora gasped as Riku pushed him down on the couch underneath him. Quick and heated kisses full of passion made trails of fire along Sora's now uncovered chest.
More gasps and whispered names filled the front living room as the pair continued their touches in the light of the Christmas tree.
"Riku!" Sora moaned, trying to keep his voice down. But it was near to impossible when Riku reached into his pants, pulling out Sora's already hard member.
Riku smirked down at Sora almost evily..."Someone's happy to see me." He joked.
Sora blushed and made like he was going to kick Riku off, only ending up throwing his head back as he felt Riku's tongue reach out and flick across the head.
Slowly, almost painfully so for Sora, Riku took his member fully into his mouth. Sora thought he might faint when Riku started humming as he suckled and bobbed his head.
Both of Sora's hands were covering his own mouth. Trying so hard to keep quiet.
He didn't want to wake up his brother or Axel for that matter.

Sora whimpered from be hind his hands as Riku went faster, bobbing and licking at Sora's member as he fondled the scrotum.
At last a moan escaped Sora as the brunette arched his back; cumming into Riku's mouth.
Riku swallowed, grinning down at the now panting Sora. Hungrily he leaned down and attacked Sora's lips again, making Sora whimper at the contact.
Riku smirked into the kiss as he felt Sora's hands making quick work of Riku's zipper to his pants.
Getting the message clearly enough, Riku slipped out of his jeans, pulling Sora's off soon after.
Sora was panting in anticipation as Riku sat back on the couch. "Come here." Riku told him, that smirk still evident on his face.
Sora got up and crawled onto Riku's lap, facing his lover.
From almost out of nowhere, Riku pulled out a small bottle of lube. Popping the cap and smearing it on his own member.
Sora was nibbling his bottom lip. Finding it hard to wait for what he knew was coming.
One Riku's member was slicked enough, Sora straddled his lap, his hands on Riku's shoulders for support.
Riku kissed him softly this time as Sora lowered himself onto the slicked member.
"Ahhh....nnng...." Sora moaned slightly, his nose wrinkling slightly as he adjusted once again to Riku's member inside him.
Riku pulled him hard against him, panting in the brunette's ear. "...Move." He commanded, causing Sora to whimper as he began to do so.
Slowly at first, Sora began to move his hips. Forward and backward.....then up and down.
Riku stroked his younger fiance's back, whispering things to him as Sora moved faster.
"R-Riku!" Sora moaned almost too loudly. Riku grinned as he knew the brunette had found his own prostate.
"Sora, I'm sorry...but I can't take this any longer.." Riku said quickly, laying Sora back onto the couch once more.
There were no more words exchanged as Riku began to thrust almost roughly into Sora.
Sora moaned, his head flinging this way and that as he called out, his legs wrapping around Riku's middle.
As Sora arched up to Riku's thrusts, the feeling of being connected simply grew.
Rough and sloppy kisses were shared as Riku came closer to his release.
Sora had long since grown hard again and was thrusting himself onto Riku's member as much as he could.
The friction was just to good.
At last, Riku reached down and began to caress Sora's member. Sora cried out, his hands grasping Riku's shoulders roughly.
Riku leaned forward and burried his face on Sora's chest as he came hard. His body shaking as he thrusted through it.
Sora followed quickly behind him, calling out Riku's name in a mangled whisper.
As their climax finally died down, Riku pulled out; just about collapsing onto Sora.
Sora stroked Riku's hair softly as the later laid his head securely on the brunette's chest.
It was Riku who finally grabbed their clothes and carried Sora back to their bedroom.
The brunette was already fast a sleep when he was laid down in their bed.
Riku cuddled his lover to him as he covered them both with the blankets.
He smiled softly as he kissed Sora's forehead.
He was more then ready to marry this boy.

Not even a half hour later, there was pounding on the door.
Followed by a very eager Roxas' voice.
"Sora! Riku! Get up!"

"It's Christmas!"

Well, it's about all over.
The next chapter will be an epilogue of sorts to the whole series.
I hope you've enjoyed it!

^_^ I know I have.

Please, R+R!
