A.N. Aaaand now for another... interlude. Those who read those first few chapters of "Uncharted Waters" before I scrapped it might recognize traits of this scene, as it was inspired by it. It's a little fluff yaoi- the previous chapter should have explained everything, so if you don't like this stuff, i strongly advise you to leave the page now. I won't be hurt if you do, though most people who hate that kind of stuff would've probably stopped reading by chapter 5.

Bait, Chapter 22

He had given his permission and knew without a doubt Sora would be much gentler with him than Xigbar was, but the prospect of what was about to go down still scared Riku a little. It was not the knowledge that this was considered taboo at their home- the things Riku had done in the past made this a minor issue in comparison, it was the thought that one of them might be hurt during this.

"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Sora asked.

"Y-yes." Even though Riku had settled down a little since that suggestion involving Kairi seeing him nude, his hormones still had a stronger hold on him than his mind did. "Lets j-just do this." He sat down on his bed, trying his best to still his shaking hands. Sora took them in his own, gently rubbing the backs of them with his thumbs.

"Hey, if you're too scared, we don't have to do this..."

"No, I really do want to! I'm just afraid of hurting you."

"Well, than just let me take over until you're comfortable with this." Sora cupped Riku's face with his hand and planted a soft but lingering kiss on his lips. His other hand had found it's way under his shirt, rubbing his back soothingly and working towards his chest.

Riku broke the kiss with a sharp gasp as Sora's hand found one of his nipples. He had taken it between two fingers and was now gently pinching and rubbing it between his fingers, creating a pleasurable sensation. Sora lowered his head and took the other one in his mouth, suckling and dragging his tongue over it.

"A-aah! S-sora, what are you d-doing?" The assault on his senses was proving too intense for Riku, who was beginning to hyperventilate. Sora lifted his head, alarmed, and wouldn't resume until he was breathing normally.

"Don't hold back your cries..." Sora said, taking two fingers and having Riku suck on them. "Let yourself feel it, or you'll only send yourself into shock..." he removed his fingers after he was certain they were wet enough. "This might hurt a little, but I'll be as gentle as I can."

"What are you.. AAH!" Riku let out a yelp as one of Sora's fingers slipped into his body, closely followed by the second one. Riku started to shake violently as memories of what Xigbar did to him filled his mind.

"Breathe, Riku..." Sora said soothingly as he performed his ministrations, slowly scissoring his fingers and pushing them deeper into Riku's body, his other hand rubbing his knee reassuringly. He could feel the rough buildup of scar tissue along Riku's passage, a horrible reminder of what must be going through the older boy's mind right now. He spoke gentle reassurances while he worked. "I know it hurts, just breathe through it, it will stop hurting soon...there we are..."

Something had happened while he spoke: Riku's body had jerked involuntarily, and he saw white, a shrill cry of pleasure escaping from his lips. Sora smirked as he saw Riku writhing in front of him, knowing he had just found his friend's sweet spot. He ran his fingers over it a second time, earning another cry from Riku and confirming that he had found it.

"What...what did you just do?" Riku was still gasping as Sora slowly withdrew his fingers, cleaning them off on the sheets.

"I had to prep you..." Sora said gently. "That's what you need to do to make it less painful."

"I already... know that. But what did you do that made me feel...whatever that was just now?"

"I don't know..." Sora had disrobed himself while they spoke and was now positioning himself between Riku's legs, not wanting to startle the older boy when he entered him. "Hey, if this hurts too much, just tell me, I can end it right now." He said as he slowly slid himself in.

Surprisingly, it wasn't as painful as Riku was expecting, it was nothing like the pain Xigbar had inflicted, just the minor sting of being stretched farther than he was used to, and Sora seemed to favor slow contact, as his movements weren't fast and frenzied, but rather the right speed for both of them to feel pleasure but not so fast it could possibly inflict pain or injury. There were no pleas for mercy, no cries of pain, just the sounds of the two boys panting in unison.

"S-sora, I think I'm getting close..." Riku felt a sensation he could only describe as a coil slowly tightening in his lower abdomen. It was becoming painful, albeit in a different way. Sora was entering a frenzy, increasing the speed of his movement, and was more focused on keeping the rhythm of his own breathing in time with that of his thrusts, not wanting to pass out on Riku.

The only experience he had before this was by eavesdropping on his other friends' gossip, much like Riku had. So basically, they were both new to this and Sora was beginning to wonder if he had gone too far. But it was far too late to be questioning his morals at this point.

"So am I... I can feel it...AHHHH!" Sora let out a wild outcry as he hit his climax. Riku could feel his hot essence releasing deep inside him, triggering his own release.

"UHNNN, SO-RA!" His own essence quickly covered both their bodies, but neither party seemed to mind or even care at that point, as something else had stolen their attention.

"Ohhh nooo..." Riku had looked down shortly after Sora had withdrawn himself, alarmed to find several fresh bloodstains on the sheet. The activity had still left him wounded at the end. Maybe he was deformed after all.

"Hey, hey!" Sora had began to clean himself off using the bed sheets, which he knew would need to be changed out after that anyways, and had seen the look of alarm on Riku's face. He lifted him into a soft embrace, looking into his eyes intently. "It's all right, Nothings wrong with you- it's perfectly natural to bleed the first few times." He used the same sheet to clean the sticky mess off of Riku's chest and stomach, still trying to calm him as he did so.

"Sora..."

"Hmm?"

"I still have yet to see if that would help with the nightmares... but still- thank you. At least it offered a new perspective..."

"D-don't mention it..." Sora knew this was an incident that neither of them would speak of again. Bizarre though it was, both of them knew this was merely an act of comfort.

End of Chapter 22.
