[Second update! Hopefully this will continue. I'm finally getting over this tiny little writer's block that I had. Alot of discussion again. But action is soon to come, I promise! Thank you for being so patient! I hope you enjoy!]
They walked hand in hand towards Sora's house, discussing how best to talk to his dad, what things to bring up and what they should keep to themselves unless he asked.
As they rapidly approached his front porch, Riku felt Sora's small hand tighten around his. He squeezed his hand assuring him.
"We should have called him first or something."
"Sora."
"I don't even know if he's going to be here."
"Sora?"
"He said 'maybe' when I asked him. What if he's not here?"
"Sora!"
Riku pulled against his arm, placing his hands on his shoulders. He looked deep into his brilliant blue eyes and saw the fear in them.
"Sora, remember when I promised that I would protect you?"
He nodded.
"Well, I haven't broken that promise yet, and I don't intend to. Relax. Everything will be okay. I will be on the best behavior I have ever been on."
Sora took a deep breath, willing himself to believe that what Riku said would be true.
Riku took Sora's hand again, tighter this time, as if he were trying to squeeze the fear out of him.
There was no need. When they knocked on the door, walked inside, called for his dad, there was no answer. He wasn't home.
"I guess he's at work," Sora said, collapsing on the couch.
"What do you want to do then?" Riku asked, following suit and stretching out across the length of the couch.
"Just turn something on TV, something to keep us occupied."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Riku asked, faking a frown.
Sora eyed him suspiciously. "You know exactly what I mean."
Riku glared at him from the opposite side of the sofa. "You can't blame everything on me."
Riku motioned him to come. Hesitantly, Sora crawled to the other end of the couch. Riku pulled him into his lap, Sora's legs straddling his hips. Riku brushed back brown strands of his hair, his fingertips lightly touching his tanned skin.
He brought his lips slowly to Sora's, waiting until the boy decided to decline or accept them. Sora sighed. He wanted to, but he couldn't, shouldn't. His mind was telling him that they could get into the same kind of trouble they had last time, but his body was telling him to ignore his conscience, that he needn't worry because his dad wouldn't be home until later anyways.
He couldn't help himself. He engaged Riku in a battle of dominance, sucking on his bottom lip heatedly. Sora curled his arms around Riku's neck, straining his neck to reach Riku beneath him. He felt Riku's hands exploring his torso and he groaned into the kiss.
Riku quickly left his bruised lips to his heated skin, licking and nipping the soft flesh, stopping at both his nipples for a few extra minutes, biting them softly. He could feel Sora's heartbeat pick up as he reached his navel.
Sora slowly began rocking his hips back and forth, heat pooling in their groins from the friction. He heard a loud, aching moan from Riku. He slid his hand between their growing erections and heard Riku gasp. Suddenly, Riku pulled his hand away.
Sora froze where he was, confused.
Riku was panting, his hand covering the bulge in his shorts. "That was your fault this time. Now it's my turn to stop us before we go too far and remind you that we could get caught," he said, breathing heavily. Sora's cheeks reddened.
Realization hit him. "That's not fair! You tempted me!" He sat back, his hands crossed across his chest, his lip stuck out.
"You can't give in to temptation Sora," Riku teased.
Riku laughed, pushing Sora onto his back. He inched over him, caressing his arms and face. He kissed him gently once and sat up. Sora sighed and closed his eyes. He mindlessly flipped through the channels.
Riku sat back against the edge of the couch, lazily resting his arms over his head.
They were bored out of their minds, and Sora knew, as much as he hated it, that Riku was right. They couldn't do anything without getting caught, even if they went to his room.
Besides, Sora thought, it would be disrespectful to get carried away and then beg for forgiveness and acceptance whether his dad would know or not.
So the compromise became sit on opposite sides of the sofa and robotically watch television.
They exchanged few words for another hour or so when they noticed it was darkening outside.
"He should be home by now. Or at least really soon," Sora stated.
"We totally could have gotten away with anything," Riku commented.
Sora laughed quietly. "I'm sure he would have known. He's not ignorant. I think maybe that's why he was so mad that night when he saw you over me."
"Yeah, but it wasn't without your consent. If he really knows what's going on, I don't think he would have reacted the same way."
Sora shook his head. "I don't think so," he contemplated. "Put yourself in his shoes for a minute, Riku. He walks in and sees his son's best friend rubbing against him, and whether he thinks something is going on or not, it's kind of like a dad and his little girl when she goes on her first date."
"You're not a girl, Sora," he said.
"Riku," he whined. "That wasn't the point. The point is, he was overreacting and overly protective. I'm sure it was a shock and a slap in the face."
Riku shrugged his shoulders. "Can I just agree with you and save us from another argument?"
Sora narrowed his eyes.
"Better yet, let's just skip the argument and go right to the part where you apologize to me," he said, a sneaky glint in his eyes.
Sora rolled his eyes. "Typical. That's all you ever think about. And you blame me."
Riku snorted.
They heard a door slam outside.
Sora bit his lip, edging closer to the arm of the sofa. Riku sat back, completely relaxed.
"Well, here goes the last of those relaxing days," Riku mumbled.
"Sshhh! Just…pay attention to the TV."
Sora's heart started hammering as he heard the metal click of the doorknob being turned. He caught his breath in his lungs, preparing himself for the worse as his dad walked into the house.
