Boyfriends.
Sora is Riku's boyfriend.
Riku has a boyfriend!
It still felt like a dream. Sora and Riku were boyfriends. The idea was so foreign to Riku. For one, he's never been in a romantic relationship. Two, he always assumed that he would have to settle with just being Sora's best friend. Three, they are already labeling their relationship, not even a full day after their confessions. Things seemed to be moving quickly with them. Which was fine. Completely, totally, absolutely fine. Riku wasn't worried at all. Nope. He was happy, ecstatic even. Why wouldn't he be? The person he's been in love with for years loves him back. Wants to be with him. It's everything he's ever wanted.
So, now what?
It never occurred to Riku to think about what dating Sora would actually look like. He obviously fantasized about being with him, but that was more in the sexual sense. Nothing really beyond that. Being with Sora always felt like it was out of reach. Thinking beyond sexual fantasies didn't seem realistic. Not to mention that imagining a relationship with him would be even more torturous given that he never thought it would happen. He already felt awful wanting what he couldn't have. Why add more to that? It was bad enough that he harbored these feelings for his best friend and had to pretend they weren't there for years.
Maybe he was a bit worried. He even told Sora as much, but thinking about it more, "worried", didn't exactly feel like the appropriate word. Riku was…overwhelmed. Not in a bad way, if that was possible, there were so many good things happening at once that Riku didn't know how to process it all. Good things don't happen for Riku like this. Or rather, Riku didn't allow good things to happen. The last two years, maybe longer, he's been punishing himself for choosing the Darkness. It wasn't intentional by any means, but it became a part of his life.
A promotion at work was on the table for him. A supervisor position with better benefits and pay. Without a second thought he declined the position. The job going to his current boss that he hated. Tiffany gave Riku her "hot friend" Nate's number. Riku never called him. When Tiffany asked why, Riku simply told her he wasn't interested. Riku told himself it was because of his feelings for Sora and the complications of explaining his life to someone else. In reality, it was because he felt unworthy of being happy. The realization that he had been sabotaging his own life was abysmal.
Now that he knew that being with Sora was real. That real happiness was in front of him, he didn't want to push it away. He wanted to allow himself to be happy. To accept this good thing in his life. He's been waiting a long time for this, he was not going to ruin it. Not this time.
Riku found himself alone in bed the next morning, Sora must have got up early. It was eight in the morning, when did he get up? Glancing out the window he could see the storm still raging. It had calmed down a lot since this first night and would be gone by the weekend, but that didn't mean Sora wasn't bothered by it. There weren't any obvious signs that Sora was on edge. Even so, Riku should keep an eye on him just in case.
Riku stretched his muscles, helping them to wake up, before getting out of bed. It would probably be a good idea to shower. After yesterday's activities with Sora, Riku cleaned up with a washcloth opting out of a shower so he could cuddle with Sora. They spent the rest of their day in each other's arms. It was perfect.
Riku was searching in his dresser for something to wear when the bedroom door opened. The smell of breakfast filled the room. Riku smiled, so that's why Sora wasn't in bed. He was making breakfast for them. What a romantic. Riku turned to face Sora, the younger man had a big grin on his face.
"Good morning," Sora beamed, "I made us breakfast."
"Good morning," Riku greeted, "So that's why I woke up alone."
"Well, that and I couldn't sleep." He admitted, Riku looked him over. He didn't seem to be anxious; he looked like he was in a good mood.
"Is everything alright?" Riku asked, just to be sure he wasn't missing something. Sora usually told Riku if he was anxious, but that didn't mean he wouldn't hide it.
"I'm okay Riku," Sora assured him, "Just been thinking a lot - all good things - and well I got a little restless, that's all." He explained, "We should eat before the food gets cold." Sora added and left the room before Riku could say anything.
Abandoning the idea of finding clothes to wear, Riku headed out of the room. Sora was sitting at the kitchen table, food placed in front of him with a laptop to his right. To the left of him was Riku's plate with a mug of coffee and a glass of juice. The table kind of looked like a cereal commercial. Riku raised an eyebrow watching as Sora started typing. What was he doing? Riku took his seat and glanced over at Sora's screen. There was a spreadsheet open with a list of types of living expenses, the title of the sheet "Budget".
"Sora?" Riku called as he watched Sora type, "Fun Fund". Sora made a noise of acknowledgement but did not look away from the screen. "Are you making a budget?"
Sora paused and looked over to Riku, "Oh right, I should have asked first. Do you already have a budget sheet?"
"Kind of, I haven't updated it in a while."
"Perfect, might be better to start fresh away. Don't you think?"
"Uh, you may need to explain a bit." Riku suggested. Where was this coming from all of a sudden?
Sora's brows furrowed, "Explain a budget?"
"No, I know what a budget is." Riku sighed, "Why are you making one?"
"Because it'll help keep track of what we're spending." Sora said slowly, explaining what a budget was and not the actual reasoning behind it.
Riku rolled his eyes, "I know what a budget is." He repeated, trying not to sound annoyed. Sora mentioned he's been thinking a lot, this must be what he's been thinking about. "Is this why you couldn't sleep?"
"Oh!" Sora gasped and chuckled to himself, "I'm sorry, I guess this is a little out of the blue. Yes, this is one of the things that has been on my mind. Now that it's more obvious that I will be staying here. I thought it would be only fair if I contributed to the bills and such. When I was living with Kairi, we made a budget, and I thought that would be a good place to start." He explained. "Also, I thought it would be a good idea for me to get a car and a job. I mean, I have munny but that won't last forever, and it won't be fair to have to pay for everything either."
Riku stared blankly at Sora for a moment. Sora's been thinking about all this? He felt a little embarrassed that he didn't think of these things himself. Of course, living together and being together would also include budgeting and planning. It wasn't all about loving each other, they also had to figure out life together. Sora was really thinking ahead, making Riku realize that he didn't know how to be in a relationship. Would this become a problem?
"Y-Yeah okay, that all makes sense." Riku nodded, feeling very out of his depth with this.
Since living on his own, Riku has only had to think of himself. Now he would have to include Sora in how he lived. There was a part of him that did, but again that was fantasy based. Nothing that led to create a habit of integrating Sora into his daily life. When Sora started living with Riku, he assumed it would be temporary. The thought never occurred to him to think of Sora as a permanent occupant. Now they were together, the natural next step would be to figure out how they were going to live. It made sense, but Riku would be lying if he said he didn't feel anxious about all this. This was out of his comfort zone more than he cared to admit, but for Sora it would be worth it.
The rest of breakfast they worked on their new budget. Admittedly it was more beneficial than Riku thought. For one, he learned that Sora collected a decent sum of munny while he was away. He hadn't used much of it, not seeing a point in doing so until now. For two, it gave Riku and Sora the opportunity to learn how the other lived on a deeper level. It was going great until Sora revealed what else has been on his mind.
Their future.
"If we could be disciplined in saving, we could get a bigger apartment or even a house in a few years." Sora said casually as Riku cleared off the table. The comment seemed so insignificant the way Sora said it that Riku almost agreed without thinking about what Sora actually said.
Entering the kitchen and setting their plates in the sink, Sora's words sunk in and Riku's stomach dropped. They just started dating…yesterday. Why was he already talking about years from now? This was too much. Riku's knees shook, he grabbed onto the kitchen sink to hold himself up. He took several deep breaths to calm himself down. He heard Sora approach him, but he didn't move. Couldn't move. All his energy and focus needed to be on his breathing. Sora's hand touched his bare shoulder, he stiffened slightly before relaxing into his touch. He was so on edge.
"Riku, what's wrong?" Sora asked gently as he started to rub soothing circles on Riku's shoulder. He remained silent, he wanted to collect himself more before speaking. "Talk to me Riku." Sora pleaded; his voice laced with concern.
"I…uh…just need a minute." Riku stammered. With a few more deep breaths Riku opened his eyes, he didn't remember ever closing them, he looked at Sora seeing the clear concern on his face. He relaxed slightly when their eyes met. "I'm a little overwhelmed." He admitted, feeling like it was a good place to start.
"Okay, do you want to talk about it, or do you need more time?"
Riku almost laughed at Sora's choice of words. Yes, he needed more time, but not in the way Sora was thinking. There was a level of uncertainty that Riku felt on whether to express why he was overwhelmed or not. Would Sora be disappointed or upset that Riku wasn't in the same head space as him? That he wasn't thinking months or years ahead, but just trying to get through the present? There was no use speculating about how Sora was going to react. He should tell him, let Sora know where he's at with all this. Otherwise, they will be off balance before they even start.
"We need to slow down." Riku blurted out, well that wasn't exactly how he wanted to phrase it.
"Slow down?" Sora's hand stopped abruptly, but didn't pull away.
"That might have been a bad choice of words…" Riku admitted. Concern was written all over Sora's face, but there were no signs of him being upset or disappointed, yet. "We just became a couple and you're already talking about our future. You're so far ahead of me and I'm still getting my head wrapped around the fact that you love me back. I…could we just take a beat and enjoy us for a while?" Riku asked. He knew eventually they would need to have a conversation about their future but not now. It was too soon, at least in Riku's mind.
Sora's expression softened, he wasn't disappointed or upset, much to Riku's relief. "Of course, I'm sorry I got a little excited. I haven't wanted to plan ahead like I do now, but I understand that this is new, and we should enjoy being together first."
Riku smiled and pulled Sora into a hug, "Thank you," he sighed, his earlier panic seemed silly now. Sora admitted to wanting to plan ahead. That was big, he had been stuck in a sort of purgatory for the last two years. Waiting for the world to fall away again and throw him back into the fray. But because of Riku, Sora was finally present. Finally, willing to look forward and not stay stationary. It warmed Riku's heart. He felt a ping of guilt for not being in the same mindset, but he could tell that Sora understood. "It makes me happy that you're excited and I am too. I'm not saying we can't ever talk about future plans, I hope you know."
Sora nodded in his chest, "I know,"
They stayed like that for a few more minutes, just enjoying being so close. They pulled away from their embrace and Riku announced he was going to shower. They parted, Riku gave Sora a kiss before heading into their room to grab a change of clothes. While in the room Riku heard a knock on the front door. It was probably Tiffany checking in on them to make sure they were going to attend her party tonight. Riku ignored the door and continued his search. Sora will answer it.
"Hi Tiff," Sora greeted.
"Well, hello there best friend Sora." Tiffany greeted in return, "Are you guys excited for tonight? You guys are still coming, right?" she asked. Riku knew it.
"Yeah, we are! It's been a while since I've been to a party. I'm really looking forward to it."
"Oh good! The party is for you two after all, it would be rude if you didn't." She teased. "Now that that's out of the way. I also came over to ask for Riku's help."
"For your car, right?" Sora clarified, Riku didn't hear a reply from Tiffany, "Hey Riku," Sora called. Clearly Tiffany did need help with her car. Riku sighed and threw on a shirt. The shower was going to have to wait. He walked out of the room to see Tiffany at the entrance.
"Hi Tiffany," he greeted, "Something wrong with your car?"
"Yeah, she's making a weird noise when I start her up." She explained.
"Okay, give me a minute to change."
"No, problem, best friend Sora will keep me company." She winked and both Sora and Riku playfully rolled their eyes.
Riku returned to the room, again, and threw on an old pair of jeans then made his way to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth quickly, wanting to do some self-care before leaving the apartment. Sora and Tiffany were sitting on the couch when Riku remerged from the bathroom. Riku grabbed his tools from the closet and his shoes, slipping them on, giving Tiffany the queue to end her conversation with Sora. Tiffany was at the door by the time Riku had his toolbox in hand. Riku walked over to Sora, giving him a kiss, goodbye.
"You'll be okay, right?" Riku whispered, wanting to make sure that being alone with the storm going wasn't going to upset Sora.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Sora assured him and gave him another kiss.
"Good, love you, be back soon." Riku smiled.
"Love you too," he grinned back.
"Awe! You guys are too cute!" Tiffany gushed and Riku inwardly groaned. He forgot she was still in the room. Sora blushed but didn't say anything. Riku turned to face Tiffany, and she was grinning at them.
"Let's go look at your car." Riku said, ignoring Tiffany's…"compliment".
They walked to the elevators in silence, but Riku could tell that Tiffany had something she wanted to say or ask Riku. Tiffany pushed the call button for the elevator and glanced at Riku several times. Seeming to want to catch his eye so she could say whatever she was itching to say. Giving in, Riku met her eyes, and she smiled at him.
"It's nice to see you happy Riku." She commented. That was it? That wasn't as bad as Riku thought it would be.
"Thanks, I am happy." He admitted.
"Good," She gave a firm nod, "You deserve it, you've been so isolated since moving here. I was starting to worry."
Riku swallowed, he deserved to be happy? He had been trying to convince himself of that all morning, but hearing it spoken out loud sounded…wrong. Did he deserve it? Riku's free hand started to fidget as his thoughts spiraled. The simplest of comments were throwing Riku off today.
"Yeah, I guess." Riku mumbled as the elevator arrived. They got in and made their way to the garage.
"You guess?" Tiffany raised and eyebrow, "Hmm, I see."
"See what?"
"I don't understand why, but you are clearly in a constant cycle of denying yourself even the smallest sliver of happiness."
"I am not." Riku said defensively and looked away from Tiffany.
"If you say so Riku, but you know, ignoring it won't make it go away. It will continue to stay with you and may ruin what you have with Sora." She pointed out as the elevator arrived and opened to the garage floor. Tiffany walked out making her way to her car and Riku stood in the elevator for a second dumbstruck. He shook his head and trailed behind her.
"I may know what you're talking about." Riku grumbled. He knew this was a habit of his, he just didn't know it was that obvious. Tiffany arrived at her car and turned to look at Riku with a raised eyebrow, "Okay, I do know what you're talking about." He said, rolling his eyes.
"Well, do you know why you do it?" She asked as she unlocked her car and popped the hood.
Riku set his tools down and went through the motions of getting the hood in place, "It's complicated." He sighed, "Okay, start her up."
Tiffany started her car, and it did indeed make a noise, but not one Riku could fix without a replacement part. Her spark plugs needed to be replaced. They would have to wait until the storm was over to get replacements at an auto store. Riku was glad it was a job he could do later. He wanted to get back and finally shower.
"More complicated than you and Sora saving multiple worlds from some heart crazed bad guy?" Tiffany asked. "See, she's making a weird noise, is she okay?"
"About the same actually," Riku admitted and closed the hood, "She's okay, she needs new spark plugs which will need to be bought at an auto store. Once the storm clears, we can plan a day for us to get the part and I'll replace them for you."
"Thanks, Riku," Tiffany smiled and turned off her car before getting out and locking her up again. "Well, you know I'm able to handle complicated if you want to talk about it." She offered.
"Yeah, maybe that isn't such a bad idea." Riku admitted. Having an outside perspective couldn't hurt and Tiffany was decent at giving advice. "So, my experience while away was a lot different than what Sora went through."
"How so?"
"I...I uh…chose the wrong side."
"The wrong side? What you were with the bad guys or something?"
"An evil witch, actually." He corrected and she raised an eyebrow leaning against her car as she watched Riku pace back and forth, "She used my desire for power and to save my friend Kairi to win me over. I got blinded by it, the power, the chance to be a hero, the chance to win. She promised me I would become the 'chosen one' if I listened to her. I'd become the Keyblade wielder. I wanted it so much; I didn't care how I had to get it. Found out that Sora was the true wielder and well…I didn't take that well."
"But you made up for it, I mean you and Sora won in the end. And Sora doesn't seem to be holding this against you. So why are you?"
Riku sighed, "I know Sora's forgiven me, but I haven't forgiven myself. Sora never stopped trying to bring me back. Never once wrote me off as the enemy. He tried to save me and I just…I tried to…I almost killed him. Then I realized not long after that I was in love with him. How fucked up is that? Where do I get off falling in love with him after what I did? Not only to him, but to Kairi to every world out there! Because I wanted to be thee hero." Riku took a deep breath and stopped his pacing and walked over to a nearby column to lean against it. He rubbed his face to help remove the building stress. "I just…I don't know, got used to the idea that what I did was unforgivable. Sora didn't even hesitate to forgive me; I apologized and that was it. That was all he needed, no yelling or time apart, just…forgiven. It didn't feel right and when we came back home, it felt worse. Sora acted like everything was just like it was before. I couldn't handle it, so, I took it upon myself to repent, I guess you could say. I isolated myself and started denying anything that made me happy or could make me happy."
Tiffany was silent for a moment before shaking her head and scoffing, "You're an idiot."
Riku's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed at Tiffany in a confused glare, "Excuse me?"
"You heard me." Tiffany said firmly and crossed her arms. "You're an idiot. You are punishing yourself for things you've already been forgiven for. You've been forgiven by the one person who matters, Sora, and that's not good enough for you. Why? Because he forgave you so easily? So what? You should be grateful that you have someone like Sora in your life. Most people would have never forgiven you. He didn't forgive you for you to throw it in his face and punish yourself behind his back. Sora would be hurt if he knew that you're doing this to yourself because of him. He didn't forgive you to make you feel bad, but you want to feel bad. You think you deserve that. Sora doesn't think that and wouldn't want that for you. Especially now that you're dating, maybe you should think about that."
Riku didn't appreciate being called an idiot, but Tiffany was right. If Sora knew about Riku's self-sabotage and why he was doing it, he would be hurt. Then he would try to help Riku work through this awful habit of his so Riku could be happy. Because that's just how Sora is. Even when Riku abandoned him during the storm, Sora forgave him for that too. He should be grateful, Sora was amazing. And for some reason he wanted to be with Riku. Wanted a future with him.
Fuck, he was an idiot.
"I am an idiot." Riku groaned and put his face in his hands.
"Yup, big time. Do you feel better now?"
"Kind of…not really," Riku sighed and removed his hands from his face. Tiffany walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, you just got to pull your head out of your ass and go be happy with your best friend. Even an idiot can do that." Tiffany said as she patted Riku's shoulder.
"Yeah, thanks." Riku scoffed.
"Just because I agreed to listen to you, didn't mean I was going to be nice to you. You needed to hear that, sugar coating it wouldn't have helped."
"Can't argue with that," Riku sighed, her bluntness did put things in a different perspective for him. "Now what?" He asked. He felt astray now. This…guilt he felt for his action he's been holding onto for years now, how does he let go? How does he forgive himself and what would he be without it?
"Be with Sora and go be happy." Tiffany said simply.
"You make it sound so easy."
''Because it is, you just have to accept it." She smiled and took a step back, "Come on, we've been down here long enough, and I have get my apartment ready for the party tonight."
"Okay," Riku nodded and pushed himself off the column. He grabbed his toolbox and followed Tiffany to the elevators. "Thanks Tiffany."
"Anytime Riku, just remember that it's okay to be happy. It's what you and Sora both deserve, right?"
"Right," Riku nodded, feeling a little more confident in his answer. They rode the elevator in silence, Riku had a lot to think about, but wasn't as overwhelmed by it now. The conversation with Tiffany helped, he was glad he had a friend like her. He was starting to wish he had talked to her like this earlier in their friendship. He always kept her at an arm's length. Partially because of her constant flirting and he didn't think that she would be able to handle Riku's baggage. He didn't think anyone could.
Hopefully, he can return the favor for her in the future.
"Party will start at seven," Tiffany informed as she unlocked her door.
"Sounds good," Riku nodded and headed to his apartment.
Upon entering, he didn't see Sora, a moment of panic rushed over Riku before he heard the shower running. Riku sighed in relief, Sora was still here. Going to the closet to put away his tools and shoes an idea popped into his head. Smirking he made his way to the bathroom, checking the door he found it was unlocked. Riku grinned and entered the bathroom silently. Riku stripped and pulled back the curtain, drawing Sora's attention.
"Holy shit!" Sora gasped and placed his hand on his chest. "Riku, you scared me!" Sora laughed nervously and playfully smacked his chest.
"Sorry," Riku smirked as he pulled the curtain closed. "I wanted to surprise you." He admitted and grabbed Sora's other hand, pulling him forward into a kiss.
Sora responded immediately, parting his lips giving Riku the opportunity to deepen the kiss. Their tongues met, neither fighting for dominance, both savoring the feeling. Their hands explored one another, slowly as if trying to memorize each other by touch alone. An echo of moans accompanied the running water as they leisurely kissed and explored one another.
Touching Sora was never going to be enough. Riku will always want more, need more. His hand trailed down to Sora's erection, taking it into his hand. Stroking Sora a few times before pressing his own erection against Sora's and taking them both in his hand. The action changing the once gentle dynamic to one of urgency. Sora thrusted into Riku's touch as he released a shuddered moan. The younger man's hand gripped at Riku's hair, bringing Riku towards him to deepen their kiss. Their mouths licked and bit as they desperately tried to consume one another.
Their moans grew louder as Riku tightened his grip on their cocks, working in time with their thrusting hips. It was becoming too much, Riku was close and judging by Sora's tensing body he was close too. Riku's free hand groped Sora's ass, kneading the plump muscle, testing to see Sora's reaction. Sora moaned and shook at the sensation encouraging Riku to keep going. His hand slipped between his cheeks, his index finger lightly stroked Sora's entrance. Sora ripped his mouth away from Riku and stared into his eyes with an intensity that Riku's never seen.
"Riku!" Sora's eyes squeezed shut as he came hard. His whole body shaking, making him wrap his arms around Riku to hold himself up. That was enough to push Riku over the edge. He came shortly after, hips tensing to a halt while he continued to stroke them through their orgasms. Riku's hand fell away and wrapped around Sora's waist. Both a little dazed, "That was…a good surprise." Sora panted still coming down from his intense orgasm.
"Glad you liked it," Riku said softly and kissed the top of Sora's head. The rest of the shower was slightly cold, but neither seemed to care. They finished washing off and got out. "So, that thing I did at the end. Was that, okay?" Riku asked as he wrapped a towel around his waist. He didn't want to push Sora too much.
"More than okay," Sora blushed, a small smile on his lips.
"So, you liked it?" Riku smirked.
"I did, a lot." Sora admitted as he wrapped his towel around his waist.
Riku cleared his throat, "Good…good." He nodded, trying to sound causal so to not sound so eager about it. If Sora liked that, well that just means he could want more…much more.
"I'm not there yet, but that was a pleasant introduction." Sora said as if reading Riku's mind.
"Of course, that can wait, like I said." Riku assured him.
"Thank you," Sora smiled and kissed Riku's cheek.
The rest of their day was uneventful as they waited for Tiffany's party. Riku didn't know what to expect. The last party he went to was Sora and Kairi's housewarming party and he didn't stay long. For one, there were too many people. Riku didn't even know most of them and being around so many people stressed him out. The party was only two months after they'd returned and Riku was not adjusted enough to handle a party environment. He forced himself to stay until he had a chance to talk to Sora. He had invited him after all.
He had to wait two hours before Sora finally managed to greet and chat with him. Not that Riku blamed Sora, he was hosting and Riku knew that he couldn't focus solely on him. He could have left at any time but chose to stay so he could see his friend. Their conversation only lasted a few minutes, unfortunately, before Kairi called from across the house to get him to meet some of her friends.
In the end, staying wasn't worth it. Riku was on the edge of a panic attack the whole time and going through that again didn't seem worth it. Even after he got over his insecurity being in crowded spaces, he ignored invites to attend gatherings. It was him punishing himself he realized. He was even tempted to back out of Tiffany's party, simply out of habit.
Instead, Riku ignored the impulse and firmly decided that he was going to go. It helped that for the first time he would have a date to a party. That made the decision vastly easier. And Sora made it clear that he was also looking forward to it. He was rummaging through his closet for something to wear. Groaning in frustration as he went through his clothes for the fourth time.
"I don't have anything to wear!" He proclaimed in defeat.
"That can't be true, you're wearing clothes right now." Riku teased.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny Riku. I'm serious!" Sora pouted.
"Yes, you look so serious with that cute pout."
"Riku!" Sora groaned and sat on the floor next to the closet, crossing his arms. "This is our first date." He mumbled not looking at Riku, "I want to look nice."
"Well, now I feel like a jerk." Riku sighed and walked over to Sora kneeling in front of him.
"You should." Sora said, still pouting. It was hard for Riku not to laugh, this was serious after all.
"I'm sorry," Riku said sincerely. "I love that you want to look nice for our date, but you know, I'll like whatever you wear."
"I know…I just…this is the first time I really regret not allowing myself to buy anything for myself in two years. I didn't care before, I care now." Sora explained as he looked at Riku and took his hand.
Riku's heart melted, Riku wasn't the only one denying himself happiness. Sora was just doing it in a different way. Denying himself placing down roots of any kind because he assumed it wouldn't last. They were too similar with their coping methods.
"How about this," Riku started, shaking Sora's hand side to side affectively, "I'll help you pick something out for tonight and before we go on our next date, because there will be more, we can go shopping for some outfits." He suggested.
Sora gave a small nod, "Okay, I like that idea."
They stood and Riku went through Sora's side of the closet. It didn't take him long to find something for him to wear. There wasn't much, but he did have a few options. He picked the shirt that caught his eye. A light blue long sleeve button up with small Paopu trees on it and a pair of dark jeans. Sora put on the outfit and Riku stared in appreciation. The shade of Sora's shirt really made his eyes pop, and it was very form fitting. Clinging to Sora's body in all the right places. He hadn't seen Sora wear something so tight fitting before. He had to admit, he really liked it. Riku was going to enjoy taking it off later.
"You look…wow," Riku couldn't help but say as he watched Sora roll up his long sleeves up to his elbows.
"Yeah?" Sora grinned as he glanced away from the sleeve, he was currently rolling up to meet Riku's eyes. Sora blushed and looked away again to finish his sleeve, "Don't look at me like that." He mumbled.
"Like what?" Riku's voice came out huskier than he intended.
"Riku," Sora said warningly. "You're undressing me with your eyes, if you keep that up, we won't make it to the party."
"You make that sound like a bad thing." He couldn't help but tease.
Sora returned his gaze to Riku after finishing his sleeve, he bit his lip. "It's definitely not a bad thing." He said a little breathless. He swallowed as if he was pushing down his arousal with the action, "But I want to go to this party."
"Alright, I'll back off." Riku conceded, raising his hands in surrender. "Want to pick out an outfit for me?"
Sora nodded and turned back to the closet to look through Riku's clothes. He pulled out a black sleeveless shirt with mesh cutouts on the sides. Riku smirked, the shirt Sora picked was skintight on him. Sora was cheeky. Riku changed his shirt while Sora turned away to search for a pair of pants to complete Riku's outfit. When Sora turned around, he gasped and Riku grinned as he watched Sora's eyes roamed over his chest greedily.
"Sora approved?"
"Oh yeah," Sora said breathlessly, he couldn't keep his eyes off Riku.
"Those for me?" Riku smirked pointing to the pants in Sora's hand.
Sora blinked, tearing his eyes away from Riku's chest to meet Riku's eyes, "What?"
"The pants," Riku laughed, "Are those the ones you want me to wear?"
"Oh, uh, right. Yes, here." Sora blushed and handed over the charcoal gray pants he found for Riku to wear.
Riku removed his jeans and replaced them with the pants Sora gave him. They were his baggy jogger pants. They were the most comfortable pair of pants he owned but he hardly ever wore them. As casual as they were they would contrast nicely with the top Sora picked. Once dressed, Sora took the opportunity to take in Riku's full outfit. He smiled appreciatively at his choice.
"Now who's undressing who with their eyes?" Riku smirked.
"I am not," Sora blushed and looked away, "I just…like how it looks."
"Well thank you, my boyfriend picked it out for me." Riku grinned and Sora looked back breaking out into a smile of his own.
"Your boyfriend has good taste. You're very lucky"
"I really am." Riku agreed and walked over to Sora to give him a kiss. "Ready to go?"
"Ready," Sora smiled, taking Riku's hand and leading him out of their bedroom.
