"That's no way to welcome back an old friend."
The voice was so much familiar to him he loosened his grip on his keyblade slightly. A firm grip held the tip in front of him like a vice. The figure emerged from the darkness though at first it was hard to make out his exact appearance. He was taller than Sora as he had always been with shimmering white/silver hair and pale skin. His eyes were than of Aqua green with a tint of blue with a sharp feline-like appeal to them. He had waited so long to see those eyes again… it seemed like forever. "Riku…" He was stuck for words as an overwhelming emotion rushed through his body. Triumph… satisfaction… fear? What would he do next? He couldn't ask. "Riku… I looked everywhere for you." He felt a warm trickle slide down his cheek which he hastily wiped away before he could see the tears, lowing his keyblade it disintegrated into nothing in their hand. Riku said nothing. He looked very… different. Halloweentown had been kind to him at least. A black-netted vest covered his sculptured chest perfectly outlining every muscle viewable though underneath a black under-vest concealed him. His lower half supported three belts and some skin-tight leather trousers and big clumpy black Demonia books. Covering his arms was teared see-through red material meshing into elbow-length bolted cloves. To top this off, he had shoulder-pads that looked suspiciously similar to Jacks and a petite skull mask resting neatly on his head… all this reeked masculinity and something else. Sora flushed at the thought. Of course he would be happy to see his best friend.
There was a moment of awkward silence after Sora literally flung himself into the arms of his Silver-headed friend. Riku was back and that was all that mattered… With his arms around Riku's wait like that his hands were free to feel the outlines of his shoulderblades, down his spine and even a bit of his now long hair had found its way to brush teasingly against him while he reveled in the glory of Riku's return. His joy was short-lived though as he came to realization of the thoughts he was having… it was only a hug after all. The tears were dried already but he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with this sudden reunion. He didn't imagine them to be so alone. A shriek of laughter came from the direction of the festival and he guessed that the party was in full swing. He promised Jack he would be there but as this came up he was sure that Jack would understand. Riku's green eyes bore into him, brighter than the moon itself and much more glorious than all the stars combined… Riku's gaze fixed on the ocean blue irises Sora had to offer and for a moment he didn't speak, simply watched knowingly.
"I don't have much time." He said after a while breaking the silence and causing panic to erupt from every inch of Sora's being.
"Why? Why do you have to go again? Don't go! Riku you'll get hurt!"
The older teen seemed to find this amusing as he chuckled playfully after that, stopped only by the look of fury now pasted on the other's face. He sighed and lifted his black-gloved hand to Sora's face and brushed lightly.
"I just came to wish you a Happy Halloween. Is that against the law?" Sora opened his mouth to protest but was greeted by the two softest lips he ever did feel. He didn't even have time to close his eyes at first, Riku's breath was drafting against his furiously red cheeks causing him to loose concentration on anything else. He sure knew what he was doing at least, no-one used tongues on their first kiss… Kairi! Oh no she didn't!
