Author Notes: Sorry for the late update. I've been working, studying for finals, and playing Final Fantasy X-2 when I found the time. Yup, I've been pretty busy, but today was the day I sat down and worked on this chapter. You should be proud of me! ^_^;
*whips out a tissue* I really am flattered. Your reviews are really helpful, especially when people pinpoint specific things that they liked or didn't like. You guys don't know how much it helps. ^_^ I'm happy some people are actually liking Taiyou. I like him; he's one of my favorite characters. Yea, I have plans for him...
Clarification for CLOud: Taiyou "liked" Kairi because he felt that was the way it was suppose to be. But his reunion with Riku snapped him out of that assumption. And of course our star couple will get together. Eventually.

Trials and Tribulations
Chapter Six
Riku watched the couple, complete and utter betrayal filling his entire soul. His heart beat spastically; his hands clenched and unclenched several times. But what was most noticeable were the misty tears that stung in his eyes like tiny daggers, forcing him to blink several times. His breath became short and fast as if he were having a panic attack. Taiyou left Riku to congratulate Sora and Kairi, but Riku didn't notice. His now lifeless sea-green eyes were fixated on the couple before him, who just finished kissing and were now surrounded by happy friends. The concert continued on even though most of the audience was still hung up on the stunning performance of a high school girl, and many of the fans of the Four Keys were now interested in the famous couple. But this was only a blur to Riku, whose vision was only filled with the picture of Sora and Kairi. Kissing. Hugging. Looking like a real couple. It sickened him, and he was mad. He was sad, of course, but right now, he was pissed. Kairi betrayed their friendship while entering middle school and had broken his heart in front of his entire class and some upperclassman. Now that she sings a song, Sora comes crawling back? "Disgusting..." he whispered, turning around and walking towards the exit.
Sora's eyes widened with pure rage, his sapphire orbs ignited with an inferno of anger. He heard the words whispered from Riku's mouth, and he was shocked to say the least. The fact that he showed up with Taiyou, acted like a real couple, then said that was unbelievable. "I'll be right back," he whispered in Kairi's ear. She looked up and smiled as he walked out hastily towards the exit where Riku left.
>Outside<
Riku sat on the bench, running his hand through his refined silver hair. A deep sigh escaped his lips while he reflected over tonight's events.
"You are such an ass, Riku."
Riku snapped his head up to see an enraged Sora stalking towards him. An excusing finger was thrust his way. "How dare you..!"
Standing up, Riku felt his own anger toss and turn within him as he stared at the cinnamon brown-haired boy before him. "How dare I what?" he asked in a eerily calm manner.
"How dare you be angry over something like this? You came here with Taiyou!" Sora spat out. "Don't think I didn't see you guys during the concert because I sure as hell did!"
Riku let out a dry laugh, sitting down on the bench once more. "Are you jealous? Because you 'sure as hell' seem like it."
Stepping in front of Riku, Sora stared down at Riku with so much rage that he was trembling. "Jealous? Ha, don't make me laugh, Riku. I have Kairi."
That did the trick, for Riku shot up out of his seat and walked towards Sora with animal-like grace, an almost crazed look in his eyes. "You have Kairi, huh? Well you had her before and what did she do? She deserted you for her own selfish desires!"
Sora stepped back as if he received a blow, the anger replaced with complete shock. "H-How did you...?"
"Tidus and Selphie told me about what she did to you, and the fact that you are crawling back to her on your damn hands and knees really angers me. I thought you were better than that."
Sora straightened out completely, an amused smile on his face. Suddenly, he began to laugh. Riku watched the boy in curiosity and puzzlement as the younger boy began to clutch his stomach. "You're the one to talk," he said through his laughter. "What about you and Taiyou? He is your ex, right?"
Riku froze.
"Taiyou can be really loud. His corny confession of love echoed throughout the street."
Sora's laughter dissipated as soon as it came and was slowly replaced with the same enraged look as before. "You are nothing but a hypocritical, egotistical ass who is a manipulative as everyone else I've had the 'pleasure' of meeting."
Eyes narrowing, Riku let out a snarl and grabbed the boy by the collar, pulling him as close as possible while looking into his eyes. Sora never once flinched, staring with as much ferocity as Riku. "You aren't a bad ass, Riku," Sora whispered, never breaking his gaze from Riku. "That calm, cool exterior can never hide the small, vulnerable little boy I see. No matter what you do; no matter what you say. You have a weak will, and you are alone."
His sea green eyes grew icier as he held the boy in place. Sora was right; he was weak, and he was alone. Ever since he can remember, he's been taking care of himself. His dad is always gone and when he is home, the most they ever say to each other is hello. His mother....
Well, we'll leave that subject alone.
Closing the distance, Riku kissed Sora vigorously. His tongue forced his way into the younger boy's mouth, savoring the delicious taste. Sora struggled as much as he could to get away, but Riku's strong arms were wrapped around him tightly, trapping him. As much as Sora wanted to keep struggling, he felt his body relax and become unwilling to struggle. His mind filled with that familiar haze that urges him to just take what comes.
His mind was completely gone a few short moments later and he began to respond, but as soon as he responded, Riku pulled away, a smirk adorning his face. Sora's eyes were closed; his breathing irregular and lips swollen. Registering the loss of soft warm lips, Sora slowly opened his eyes. Riku turned away, but not before adding his last thought, "Now who's weak?"
Sora watched Riku head to a sleek black convertible and hop inside. Annoyance and anger clouded Sora's mind as he watched the convertible slowly back out of the parking lot. Growling, Sora sprinted to the car. ~He will not get the best of me!~
Jumping over stray trash and dodging various statues and signs, Sora reached the black convertible and jumped in the passenger's seat, stunning Riku and himself. He lifted himself slightly and got the seatbelt from under him, then strapped down. Sora looked to Riku, who was looking at him with a strange and indescribable glint in his eyes. Turning his eyes back on the road, Riku let out a deep sigh. "You never cease to amaze me, Sora."
Sora almost smiled at the compliment, but put a determined look on his face instead. "I am not weak." he stated, getting straight to the point. "You tricked me!"
Riku looked over once again, amused. "I didn't trick you into anything. You responded on your own."
Crossing his arms, a pout reached Sora's lips. "It wasn't my fault I responded. It's probably just lust."
Riku's eyebrows rose. "Lust, huh?"
Before Sora could respond, they had reached Riku's house; a large colonial with blue shutters on each window. A narrow pathway lined with fresh green grass lead to the front porch, and Riku strode on the pathway, a hesitate Sora following him. He quickly unlocked the door and entered, briefly waving to a tall man with identical silver hair - who Sora assumed to be his father - sitting at the kitchen table. The man's calm and authoritative stature was almost identical, making Sora smile. Riku's father eyed Sora, his pale blue eyes filled with interest and curiosity. "Riku...? New friend?"
"Yea," Riku responded nonchalantly. "Sora, this is my dad. Dad, this is Sora."
Sora bowed slightly. "Nice to meet you."
Riku's father looked to Riku, then looked at Sora, letting out a laugh. "You don't have to be so formal, Sora. Name's Yuki by the way."
Momentarily stunned, Sora smiled brightly and relaxed. "Then it's nice to meet ya, Yuki."
Getting up, Yuki laughed loudly and walked fully into the kitchen. "I'll get you guys something to eat."
Sora nodded and turned to head up the stairs, but stopped when he felt Riku's eyes on him. Turning to Riku, Sora did his own version of Riku's famous smirk and headed up the stairs. Riku followed close behind him, his gaze still on the younger boy in front of him. ~How did he do that? My dad hasn't laugh like that since...~
"Wow, nice room, Riku."
The large room was grayish-blue in color with matching carpet. A king-sized bed rested against the far wall below a large window, and at the right of the room was a 32" TV with DVD, VCR, and stereo. A video game console was also hooked up. To the left of the room was his walk-in closet and bathroom. Riku walked in and sat on the bed. "Thanks."
Sora crossed his arms once again and leaned against the wall. "Why did you trick me? You are so confusing, you know that?"
Leaning against the bedpost, Riku threw Sora a sidelong glance. "How am I confusing? You're scared of me, then you befriend me. You close yourself to me, then you kiss me."
Blushing, Sora walked over to the bed and sat next to Riku. "But Riku..."
"Let me finish. So, where did we leave off? Oh yea. After you kiss me, we're back to being best friends and then, you show this amazing fighting skill and get pissed at me. And the next thing I know, you forgive me, you're with Kairi, you're pissed at me again, then you want me. Not to mention, that right now you're all buddy-buddy with me again."
"T-That's ridiculous. Do you realize why all those things happen in the first place? It was because of you!"
"It was my fault?"
"You cause so many emotions and I can't help it."
Riku rose up in interest, but remained silent. Sora continued. "At one moment, I want to strangle you and the next moment I want to...."
Smirking, Riku leaned closer to Sora. "Want to what?" he whispered.
Sora looked Riku in the eye. "I want to..."
"Riku, Sora!"
Sora cursed and looked to the door as well as Riku. "I didn't want to cook you guys some complex so I brought you some fruit."
Yuki brought the tray of strawberries, bananas, and whip cream inside and set it down on the nightstand near the bed. "Sorry to bother you guys."
He left the room silently, leaving the two boys back to the matters at hand. Riku picked up a banana and peeled it slowly. Sora eyed him out of the corner of his eye, picking up a strawberry and biting the tip. Riku looked to Sora and smiled innocently, nibbling the tip of the banana. ~Oh shit....this is definitely one of those moments where I want to jump Riku...~
Sora stood up abruptly and walked over to Riku's TV, trying to avoid the lustful stare of Riku. "L-let's play a game, Riku. Y-ya know that's what best friends do, right?"
Taking in a deep breath, Sora turned around and looked at Riku to see him nipping the side of the banana. "D-dear Kami..." he whispered.
Riku looked up with a innocent smirk on his face. "What's the matter, Sora?"
"Never mind," Sora said, avoiding eye contact. "Promise me that we won't do anything...and you know what I'm talking about. I have a girlfriend and you have a boyfriend. We're both taken."
"Mmhmm."
Sora turned around - a big mistake - and saw that Riku now put the entire banana in his mouth and took one large bite. Turning back around as quickly as possible, Sora slapped a hand to his forehead, feeling the fabric of his lower region get tighter. ~I need a cold shower, NOW!~
"Riku, it's really been fun, but I have to go."
Sora stood up and practically ran to the door.
"Sora, you're spending the night."
"What?"
Turning around, Sora stared at the older boy sitting casually on the bed. "I took the liberty of calling your mom to ask if you can spend the night tonight. I was going to tell you after the concert. She even brought your clothes."
Riku pointed to a small red duffel bag in the corner that had Sora's name written on it. Sora sank to his knees, his gaze now shifted to the bag. ~Oh god...a whole night here! I'm going to lose my mind!~
Walking over to the bag, Sora took out a pair of clean blood red boxers and walked over to the bathroom. "I...need a shower..." he said almost mechanically.
Riku nodded and watched Sora shuffle into the bathroom, shutting the door quietly. Deciding to get more food, Riku exited his room with the tray brought from his father and ran downstairs to see his father sitting at the table reading a newspaper. He headed straight for the refrigerator and pulled out more strawberries, bananas, and whip cream. After getting three bananas, several strawberries and a bowl of whip cream, Riku headed back to the stairs only to be stopped by, "You must really like Sora. No one has come to this house since Taiyou."
"Yea, I do," was his only response.
Bounding back up the stairs, Riku reached his room in time to see Sora waiting nervously on the bed. His face was lit with a fiery blush, and his bright sapphire eyes darted back and forth across the room like a trapped animal.
It was truly a hilarious sight.
Laughing, Riku approached Sora with the tray in his hands. "What are you so nervous about? Relax. We aren't breaking any rules."
"Yes, we are. This is the one thing you do NOT do!"
Sora sprung up from the bed and began pacing the room, consumed in his thoughts. The fact that he had to sleep over here in his 'condition' with Riku probably being in nothing more than a pair of boxers is literally driving him insane. He has Kairi, but there are some things that Riku has that Kairi doesn't...
Well-toned chest. Muscular arms and legs. Gorgeous silver hair. Piercing sea-green eyes. Not to mention that large thing down south...
Riku only watched as he sat the tray of fruit on the nightstand. "Sora, it is just a sleepover. You're acting like we're getting ready to have sex or something..."
"SEX?! What?!" Sora yelled springing up off of his spot on the bed. "We weren't planning that! You're right. We weren't! Yea...we weren't..."
Riku stared at the panicked boy in disbelief, a smile creeping up on his face. "Unless...you're not telling me something, Sora."
Like a forest fire, the blush on Sora's face spread quickly. He blinked several times before he settled his gaze on the floor. Crossing his arms stubbornly, Sora's mouth twisted into a frown, his blush still apparent. "Don't be ridiculous, Riku. Sex is the absolutely last thing on my mind!"
Eyebrows perked up. "Really?"
A laugh. "Yes."
"Then why were you so uptight about me eating a mere banana?"
The question had caught Sora off guard, causing him to stutter an answer. "B-because..."
"Because what?" Riku asked, not giving him the chance to give a proper answer.
"W-well..."
Riku began to walk slowly to Sora. His voice had dropped to nothing but a whisper now. "Well what?"
As Riku came forward, Sora took a step backward. Eventually, he hit the wall and began looking futilely for an escape. He looked into Riku's eyes occasionally before he went back to his search. He felt like that day when he first met Riku: intimidated and flat-out scared beyond belief. There is something about Riku that sends sparks right down to his groin, and for Riku to get closer, he doesn't know what he might do...
Riku laughed softly and seductively, causing Sora to look back up and stay looking. "Sex..."
Pushing Sora fully against the wall with his right hand, Riku's left hand drifted down Sora's stomach and continued a tortuous path downward until it reached the zipper. Riku heard Sora's breath hitch, causing him to laugh once again. "...is not the last thing on your mind, Sora."
Sora unconsciously closed his eyes, his breath coming in short, quick intervals. He tried as hard as he possibly could to think straight; to avoid the familiar haze creeping back up into his mind. Riku was right; Sex wasn't the last thing on his mind. It once was at a certain period of time until he met Riku. He felt a hand brush across his erection. Instantaneously, he opened his eyes, all breathing stopped.
He stared at the silver-haired boy, watching his actions and body language closely. Riku had just glanced into his eyes, playfulness dancing in his eyes. His body seemed relaxed and tensed as if he were holding something back. Or to be more specific, as if he were holding himself back. The boy now turned away, cocking his head to the side. "Oh yea, that's right. The promise."
Sudden horror struck Sora like a streak of jagged lightning. He DID make Riku promise that they wouldn't do anything of that nature, and he should have done it because it is necessary. But after the way Riku touched him like that...
Screw the promise.
It was as if his last shred of control snapped and the haze completely clouded all common sense and reasonable, coherent thought. Only Riku could evoke this raw feeling he had, and this may be the only time he could satisfy it.
Riku turned around to see Sora advancing towards him. Slightly put off by his actions, Riku put a hand on his hip and tilted his head to the side. "Sora, what are you doin---oof!"
Sora just did the one thing he least expected. He pounced.
Both boys landed on the bed in a heap, but that was soon changed by Sora, who quickly pinned Riku's wrists together above his head and his legs with his own legs. In spite of his shock, Riku struggled automatically, looking into Sora's eyes. A predatory gleam was quite apparent in the younger boy's eyes, and in fact, his whole stance reeked of animalistic qualities. The way he pounced, the look in his eyes, the rapid gain of dominance...
Overall, it was very arousing to say the least.
Sora pressed his lips against Riku's with overwhelming desperation, his left hand wandering across the older boy's body while his right hand held Riku's wrists together. He dragged his tongue across Riku's lower lip, and Riku complied almost immediately. The wandering left hand soon made its way to the hem of his baggy silver pants and slipped inside, grasping the erection there. A low moan escaped Riku's lips as a battle of dominance soon ensued. Sora began losing his will to fight as he continued applying hard, long strokes. The grip he had on Riku's wrists slackened, causing Riku to quickly take advantage of the situation. Grabbing Sora's shoulders, Riku flipped him over and sat on the lower area of his stomach, out of breath and almost out of control. "Now Sora," he spoke slowly as if he were speaking to a child, "you're the one who created the promise and you already want to break it?"
"Yes," Sora whined while stroking Riku once more.
Riku hissed and promptly took Sora's hand out of his pants. "As much as I want to let you continue, you made an excellent point. This is not a good idea."
Sora let out what appeared to be a blend of whining and whimpering and tried sitting up so that Riku was straddling him. Riku sighed and placed his hands on Sora's shoulders, looking into his eyes. "If you hadn't created this promise and made that point, we wouldn't be in this situation."
At that moment, his pocket began to vibrate. Both Sora and Riku looked with curiosity only to find out it was Riku's cell phone. Riku sighed once more before he took the silver cell phone out of his pocket, flipped it open and pressed it to his ear. "Hello?"
//Koneko, where are you?//
"Hi Taiyou," Riku responded as he crawled off of Sora. "I'm at my house with Sora."
//With Sora, eh?//
Riku heard the slight annoyance in his tone and looked towards the bed, where Sora was eating some whip cream and strawberries. "Yea, he's sleeping over my house today. We were just discussing certain issues, you know."
//Oh, well you seem out of breath, Riku. What were you guys doing?//
Riku glared at Sora. "We got into a disagreement and decided to battle it out," he lied, still glaring at Sora. "Sora got the best of me for a moment, but I ended up winning."
There was a pause on the other end for a few minutes, causing Riku to worry. Back before they had broken up, Taiyou could tell when Riku was lying. He didn't know whether or not Taiyou still had that skill or not. //Oh, ok.// Riku let out a sigh of relief. //Well, Kairi wants to talk to him right quick.//
"Alright." Riku handed Sora the phone. He took it. "Hello?"
//Sora! You just left without saying where you were going! I was worried about you.//
"No need to worry, Kairi. Me and Riku were just talking outside, then we went to his house."
//All right, remember that tomorrow is our study session. You promised to help me with my English.//
"Ok, Kairi, I'll be there."
//Thanks a lot. I'm giving the phone back to Taiyou right now.//
Sora heard some noises in the background before he heard Taiyou's voice. //I left something in Riku's car so I'm coming over to get it. Tell Riku that, will ya?//
"Sure."
//Alright, talk to you later.//
The phone went dead before Sora flipped the phone shut and handed it to Riku. "Taiyou is coming over to get something he left in your car," he said while looking around the room. "Now, where am I going to sleep?"
Riku watched in amazement as Sora began to make himself a small bed on the floor. Nearly five minutes ago, he was a sexy, seductive predator and now, he's back to himself. A personality change in that short amount of time was nothing short of fascinating. "I can go get you a mattress if you want."
"No, I'm fine." he responded, snatching a pillow off of Riku's bed.
Settling himself in his spot on the floor, Sora turned his back to Riku and attempted to sleep. "G'night, Riku."
Riku watched Sora once more before heading to the bathroom. ~He's so multi-dimensional...how do you keep up with something like that?~
He turned on the shower, stripped down, then stepped inside, unknowing of the plan Sora began formulating just outside the door.

Riku's eyebrows rose. "Lust, huh?"
Before Sora could respond, they had reached Riku's house; a large colonial with blue shutters on each window. A narrow pathway lined with fresh green grass lead to the front porch, and Riku strode on the pathway, a hesitate Sora following him. He quickly unlocked the door and entered, briefly waving to a tall man with identical silver hair - who Sora assumed to be his father - sitting at the kitchen table. The man's calm and authoritative stature was almost identical, making Sora smile. Riku's father eyed Sora, his pale blue eyes filled with interest and curiosity. "Riku...? New friend?"
"Yea," Riku responded nonchalantly. "Sora, this is my dad. Dad, this is Sora."
Sora bowed slightly. "Nice to meet you."
Riku's father looked to Riku, then looked at Sora, letting out a laugh. "You don't have to be so formal, Sora. Name's Yuki by the way."
Momentarily stunned, Sora smiled brightly and relaxed. "Then it's nice to meet ya, Yuki."
Getting up, Yuki laughed loudly and walked fully into the kitchen. "I'll get you guys something to eat."
Sora nodded and turned to head up the stairs, but stopped when he felt Riku's eyes on him. Turning to Riku, Sora did his own version of Riku's famous smirk and headed up the stairs. Riku followed close behind him, his gaze still on the younger boy in front of him. ~How did he do that? My dad hasn't laugh like that since...~
"Wow, nice room, Riku."
The large room was grayish-blue in color with matching carpet. A king-sized bed rested against the far wall below a large window, and at the right of the room was a 32" TV with DVD, VCR, and stereo. A video game console was also hooked up. To the left of the room was his walk-in closet and bathroom. Riku walked in and sat on the bed. "Thanks."
Sora crossed his arms once again and leaned against the wall. "Why did you trick me? You are so confusing, you know that?"
Leaning against the bedpost, Riku threw Sora a sidelong glance. "How am I confusing? You're scared of me, then you befriend me. You close yourself to me, then you kiss me."
Blushing, Sora walked over to the bed and sat next to Riku. "But Riku..."
"Let me finish. So, where did we leave off? Oh yea. After you kiss me, we're back to being best friends and then, you show this amazing fighting skill and get pissed at me. And the next thing I know, you forgive me, you're with Kairi, you're pissed at me again, then you want me. Not to mention, that right now you're all buddy-buddy with me again."
"T-That's ridiculous. Do you realize why all those things happen in the first place? It was because of you!"
"It was my fault?"
"You cause so many emotions and I can't help it."
Riku rose up in interest, but remained silent. Sora continued. "At one moment, I want to strangle you and the next moment I want to...."
Smirking, Riku leaned closer to Sora. "Want to what?" he whispered.
Sora looked Riku in the eye. "I want to..."
"Riku, Sora!"
Sora cursed and looked to the door as well as Riku. "I didn't want to cook you guys some complex so I brought you some fruit."
Yuki brought the tray of strawberries, bananas, and whip cream inside and set it down on the nightstand near the bed. "Sorry to bother you guys."
He left the room silently, leaving the two boys back to the matters at hand. Riku picked up a banana and peeled it slowly. Sora eyed him out of the corner of his eye, picking up a strawberry and biting the tip. Riku looked to Sora and smiled innocently, nibbling the tip of the banana. ~Oh shit....this is definitely one of those moments where I want to jump Riku...~
Sora stood up abruptly and walked over to Riku's TV, trying to avoid the lustful stare of Riku. "L-let's play a game, Riku. Y-ya know that's what best friends do, right?"
Taking in a deep breath, Sora turned around and looked at Riku to see him nipping the side of the banana. "D-dear Kami..." he whispered.
Riku looked up with a innocent smirk on his face. "What's the matter, Sora?"
"Never mind," Sora said, avoiding eye contact. "Promise me that we won't do anything...and you know what I'm talking about. I have a girlfriend and you have a boyfriend. We're both taken."
"Mmhmm."
Sora turned around - a big mistake - and saw that Riku now put the entire banana in his mouth and took one large bite. Turning back around as quickly as possible, Sora slapped a hand to his forehead, feeling the fabric of his lower region get tighter. ~I need a cold shower, NOW!~
"Riku, it's really been fun, but I have to go."
Sora stood up and practically ran to the door.
"Sora, you're spending the night."
"What?"
Turning around, Sora stared at the older boy sitting casually on the bed. "I took the liberty of calling your mom to ask if you can spend the night tonight. I was going to tell you after the concert. She even brought your clothes."
Riku pointed to a small red duffel bag in the corner that had Sora's name written on it. Sora sank to his knees, his gaze now shifted to the bag. ~Oh god...a whole night here! I'm going to lose my mind!~
Walking over to the bag, Sora took out a pair of clean blood red boxers and walked over to the bathroom. "I...need a shower..." he said almost mechanically.
Riku nodded and watched Sora shuffle into the bathroom, shutting the door quietly. Deciding to get more food, Riku exited his room with the tray brought from his father and ran downstairs to see his father sitting at the table reading a newspaper. He headed straight for the refrigerator and pulled out more strawberries, bananas, and whip cream. After getting three bananas, several strawberries and a bowl of whip cream, Riku headed back to the stairs only to be stopped by, "You must really like Sora. No one has come to this house since Taiyou."
"Yea, I do," was his only response.
Bounding back up the stairs, Riku reached his room in time to see Sora waiting nervously on the bed. His face was lit with a fiery blush, and his bright sapphire eyes darted back and forth across the room like a trapped animal.
It was truly a hilarious sight.
Laughing, Riku approached Sora with the tray in his hands. "What are you so nervous about? Relax. We aren't breaking any rules."
"Yes, we are. This is the one thing you do NOT do!"
Sora sprung up from the bed and began pacing the room, consumed in his thoughts. The fact that he had to sleep over here in his 'condition' with Riku probably being in nothing more than a pair of boxers is literally driving him insane. He has Kairi, but there are some things that Riku has that Kairi doesn't...
Well-toned chest. Muscular arms and legs. Gorgeous silver hair. Piercing sea-green eyes. Not to mention that large thing down south...
Riku only watched as he sat the tray of fruit on the nightstand. "Sora, it is just a sleepover. You're acting like we're getting ready to have sex or something..."
"SEX?! What?!" Sora yelled springing up off of his spot on the bed. "We weren't planning that! You're right. We weren't! Yea...we weren't..."
Riku stared at the panicked boy in disbelief, a smile creeping up on his face. "Unless...you're not telling me something, Sora."
Like a forest fire, the blush on Sora's face spread quickly. He blinked several times before he settled his gaze on the floor. Crossing his arms stubbornly, Sora's mouth twisted into a frown, his blush still apparent. "Don't be ridiculous, Riku. Sex is the absolutely last thing on my mind!"
Eyebrows perked up. "Really?"
A laugh. "Yes."
"Then why were you so uptight about me eating a mere banana?"
The question had caught Sora off guard, causing him to stutter an answer. "B-because..."
"Because what?" Riku asked, not giving him the chance to give a proper answer.
"W-well..."
Riku began to walk slowly to Sora. His voice had dropped to nothing but a whisper now. "Well what?"
As Riku came forward, Sora took a step backward. Eventually, he hit the wall and began looking futilely for an escape. He looked into Riku's eyes occasionally before he went back to his search. He felt like that day when he first met Riku: intimidated and flat-out scared beyond belief. There is something about Riku that sends sparks right down to his groin, and for Riku to get closer, he doesn't know what he might do...
Riku laughed softly and seductively, causing Sora to look back up and stay looking. "Sex..."
Pushing Sora fully against the wall with his right hand, Riku's left hand drifted down Sora's stomach and continued a tortuous path downward until it reached the zipper. Riku heard Sora's breath hitch, causing him to laugh once again. "...is not the last thing on your mind, Sora."
Sora unconsciously closed his eyes, his breath coming in short, quick intervals. He tried as hard as he possibly could to think straight; to avoid the familiar haze creeping back up into his mind. Riku was right; Sex wasn't the last thing on his mind. It once was at a certain period of time until he met Riku. He felt a hand brush across his erection. Instantaneously, he opened his eyes, all breathing stopped.
He stared at the silver-haired boy, watching his actions and body language closely. Riku had just glanced into his eyes, playfulness dancing in his eyes. His body seemed relaxed and tensed as if he were holding something back. Or to be more specific, as if he were holding himself back. The boy now turned away, cocking his head to the side. "Oh yea, that's right. The promise."
Sudden horror struck Sora like a streak of jagged lightning. He DID make Riku promise that they wouldn't do anything of that nature, and he should have done it because it is necessary. But after the way Riku touched him like that...
Screw the promise.
It was as if his last shred of control snapped and the haze completely clouded all common sense and reasonable, coherent thought. Only Riku could evoke this raw feeling he had, and this may be the only time he could satisfy it.
Riku turned around to see Sora advancing towards him. Slightly put off by his actions, Riku put a hand on his hip and tilted his head to the side. "Sora, what are you doin---oof!"
Sora just did the one thing he least expected. He pounced.
Both boys landed on the bed in a heap, but that was soon changed by Sora, who quickly pinned Riku's wrists together above his head and his legs with his own legs. In spite of his shock, Riku struggled automatically, looking into Sora's eyes. A predatory gleam was quite apparent in the younger boy's eyes, and in fact, his whole stance reeked of animalistic qualities. The way he pounced, the look in his eyes, the rapid gain of dominance...
Overall, it was very arousing to say the least.
Sora pressed his lips against Riku's with overwhelming desperation, his left hand wandering across the older boy's body while his right hand held Riku's wrists together. He dragged his tongue across Riku's lower lip, and Riku complied almost immediately. The wandering left hand soon made its way to the hem of his baggy silver pants and slipped inside, grasping the erection there. A low moan escaped Riku's lips as a battle of dominance soon ensued. Sora began losing his will to fight as he continued applying hard, long strokes. The grip he had on Riku's wrists slackened, causing Riku to quickly take advantage of the situation. Grabbing Sora's shoulders, Riku flipped him over and sat on the lower area of his stomach, out of breath and almost out of control. "Now Sora," he spoke slowly as if he were speaking to a child, "you're the one who created the promise and you already want to break it?"
"Yes," Sora whined while stroking Riku once more.
Riku hissed and promptly took Sora's hand out of his pants. "As much as I want to let you continue, you made an excellent point. This is not a good idea."
Sora let out what appeared to be a blend of whining and whimpering and tried sitting up so that Riku was straddling him. Riku sighed and placed his hands on Sora's shoulders, looking into his eyes. "If you hadn't created this promise and made that point, we wouldn't be in this situation."
At that moment, his pocket began to vibrate. Both Sora and Riku looked with curiosity only to find out it was Riku's cell phone. Riku sighed once more before he took the silver cell phone out of his pocket, flipped it open and pressed it to his ear. "Hello?"
//Koneko, where are you?//
"Hi Taiyou," Riku responded as he crawled off of Sora. "I'm at my house with Sora."
//With Sora, eh?//
Riku heard the slight annoyance in his tone and looked towards the bed, where Sora was eating some whip cream and strawberries. "Yea, he's sleeping over my house today. We were just discussing certain issues, you know."
//Oh, well you seem out of breath, Riku. What were you guys doing?//
Riku glared at Sora. "We got into a disagreement and decided to battle it out," he lied, still glaring at Sora. "Sora got the best of me for a moment, but I ended up winning."
There was a pause on the other end for a few minutes, causing Riku to worry. Back before they had broken up, Taiyou could tell when Riku was lying. He didn't know whether or not Taiyou still had that skill or not. //Oh, ok.// Riku let out a sigh of relief. //Well, Kairi wants to talk to him right quick.//
"Alright." Riku handed Sora the phone. He took it. "Hello?"
//Sora! You just left without saying where you were going! I was worried about you.//
"No need to worry, Kairi. Me and Riku were just talking outside, then we went to his house."
//All right, remember that tomorrow is our study session. You promised to help me with my English.//
"Ok, Kairi, I'll be there."
//Thanks a lot. I'm giving the phone back to Taiyou right now.//
Sora heard some noises in the background before he heard Taiyou's voice. //I left something in Riku's car so I'm coming over to get it. Tell Riku that, will ya?//
"Sure."
//Alright, talk to you later.//
The phone went dead before Sora flipped the phone shut and handed it to Riku. "Taiyou is coming over to get something he left in your car," he said while looking around the room. "Now, where am I going to sleep?"
Riku watched in amazement as Sora began to make himself a small bed on the floor. Nearly five minutes ago, he was a sexy, seductive predator and now, he's back to himself. A personality change in that short amount of time was nothing short of fascinating. "I can go get you a mattress if you want."
"No, I'm fine." he responded, snatching a pillow off of Riku's bed.
Settling himself in his spot on the floor, Sora turned his back to Riku and attempted to sleep. "G'night, Riku."
Riku watched Sora once more before heading to the bathroom. ~He's so multi-dimensional...how do you keep up with something like that?~
He turned on the shower, stripped down, then stepped inside, unknowing of the plan Sora began formulating just outside the door.
