Flurry of Emotion

Sora slept soundly through the night dreaming of the island, his friends and most of all, Riku. When he finally woke up the memories of the previous night rushed back to him. The half-naked boy rolled over to look at his half-naked best friend/boyfriend to find that he was alone in the bed. Then he heard something from downstairs. Sora threw a shirt on and ran to the kitchen to find Riku smiling and behind the table, where he had made two plates of breakfast.

"I assume your parents are out of the house" Riku said "or you wouldn't have been moaning as loudly as you were last night." Riku laughed a little. Sora just blushed.

"Y...ya" Sora stammered in embarrassment. "Anyway, is that for me?" he said pointing to the extremely appetizing plate of food on the table.

"No Sora, I made them so I could feed the raccoons outside." Riku said in a very sarcastic tone. Sora crossed his arms and pouted. Riku laughed a little on the inside. It was his opinion that Sora's pouty face was one of his cutest faces. Sora soon gave in to his stomach and he figuratively dove head first into the plate of food.

Sora and Riku finished eating and sat there looking into each others eyes for awhile when Riku spoke up.

"So, where are your parents, anyway?" he asked.

"It's their anniversary, so they went away for the week." Sora grinned at Riku

"How romantic" Riku said, smiling back. "Wanna go for a walk by the beach?" Sora just nodded. They got up, put their shoes on and left.

Meanwhile in Kairi's room . . .

Kairi was sitting at her desk typing her diary when Tidus burst through the door, falling flat on his face.

"WHY DOES EVERYONE DO THAT?!" Kairi yelled uncontrollably.

"S...s...sorry" He stammered. "This is kinda important" Kairi, realizing her counseling services were in desperate need again. For some reason or another, Kairi had become known as the islands counselor, even though there were several licenced ones on the island. She guessed it was because she didn't charge anyone.

"What's the matter?" She asked using her caring psychiatrist voice.

"It's Selphie. I caught her making out with another guy." He said, getting up to sit on Kairi's bed. "Why would she do something like that?"

"Well, I hate to tell you Ti, but, I told you so" She said, smiling sadly. Kairi got up out of her chair and moved over to sit beside Tidus on the bed "Selphie's just the kind of girl who will like a guy 'till he gets old, then she'll throw him away. I take it you broke up with her, right?"

"Of course I broke up with her! I'm not about to stay with her now!" Tidus sighed. "I guess I sorta knew this would happen though."

"Then why did you date her?" The confused Kairi asked.

"Well . . . I sort of had this thing for another girl, but I figured I didn't have a chance because she's . . . this amazingly beautiful girl who's nice and caring and understanding. She''s so perfect that I feel she's out of my reach, you know?" Tidus said, sighing sadly and looking at the floor.

"Yeah, I know" Kairi said looking into Tidus' eyes. "Who's the girl?"

"Well . . . promise not to get mad?" he asked.

"Of course, why would I get mad?"

"Well . . . because . . . it's you" Tidus lowered his head in embarrassment. Kairi's mouth opened in shock. There was a silence where everything seemed to stand still. Kairi gently put her hand under Tidus' chin. She tilted his head up as she leaned her head in.

"Ti" she said in a quiet voice. Tidus' eyes slowly moved up from the floor to stare into Kairi's. Kairi leaned in more and kissed Tidus gently on the lips and only for a second, then she pulled away slowly. Tidus wrapped his hands around her and pulled her in for another kiss, less gently and longer this time. Kairi wrapped her arms around him and the kiss lasted several seconds then he pulled away. They both sat speechless when the door burst open. Tidus and Kairi looked over to find Sora standing in the door.

"Kairi, do you mind if I talk to you for a minute?" Sora said. Kairi looked at Tidus but Tidus spoke first.

"I was about to go anyway." he said getting up. He got to the doorway where Sora was standing, looked at Sora, then looked at Kairi and said: "You really need to get a sign or something" Kairi just laughed and Tidus walked out of the room.

"So, Sora, what's up?" Kairi asked. Sora stepped into the room and shut the door behind him.

"Well, Riku was at my house last night and things heated up alot, I mean we didn't have sex or anything but it was close. Then we went for a walk and we talked about things like that. Anyway, Riku just went back to his house and now I'm thinking." Sora said, doing his best to get all his thoughts out at once. It took Kairi a minute to process, but she did and she finally asked:

"Thinking about what?"

"I think I'm ready to have sex with Riku."
