A/N I know what some of you were expecting from Sora and Riku, but not yet; it’s way too soon for that.
His fingers shaking, Sora slowly started to unbutton Riku’s shirt. He knew that he was blushing, but luckily he was so cold that that wouldn’t be noticeable.
One button….
Two buttons…
Sora’s teeth started to shatter as he worked on the third button.
Riku had his eyes closed as Sora finally managed to get all his buttons undone. The next thing the teen knew, Sora was pushing the shirt off his shoulders.
“Geez, you’re blue,” Sora said, looking at Riku’s chest. Riku’s eyes popped open when he felt little hands start to run and down his chest. Sora moved his hands fast, trying to bring some warmth back into Riku.
Looking up at Sora, Riku could see that the smaller teen was just as cold as he was. “Sora, please hurry up, or you’re going to become a Popsicle before I do.”
Blushing even more, Sora pulled off his t-shirt and then went to work on getting Riku’s pants off.
“I never thought I’d be doing this,” the flustered teen mumbled.
“Heh… I never thought you’d be doing it either.” Riku bit his lower lips, his whole body flushing, as Sora pulled his pants off. Now he was just wearing his boxers.
Sora put a hand over his eyes, “Riku… you won’t get warm as long as you have any wet clothes on… I know this is uncomfortable for you, what with knowing how I feel about you and all, but… you really have to… you know… umm…”
Riku grinned. Sora was so cute when he was flustered. “I know; go ahead, but the same goes for you too, ya know.”
Sora’s eyes were wide, as he nodded, “yeah, I know.”
His eyes closed; he was too chicken to open them; Sora started to pull off Riku’s boxers. When they were off, he tossed them aside.
Now Riku lay before him completely naked.
Riku was naked, all right, but he wasn’t warm at all. Then he realized the only way for them to get warm would be for them to… cuddle…
Body heat; their bodies touching, rubbing… creating friction that would make them warm…
‘Oh Hyne….’ Riku felt all blood rush to his head and he was surprised to say the least that he felt turned on with his body being in the condition that it was in.
Sora stood up, leaving the naked Riku to go find something. He opened bin in the shed, pulling out a heavy blanket the kids on Destiny Island used for picnics.
Walking back over to Riku, Sora started to undress the rest of the way, very aware that he was being watched. Riku was trying to be polite and not watch, but for some reason his eyes wouldn’t turn away.
Sora’s pants came off and Riku watched.
Sora’s boxers came off and Riku watched.
The brunette looked at Riku… really looked at him, and flushed. He set down next to Riku, biting his lower lip.
Riku scooted closer to Sora, making the teen’s blush grow.
Gulping, Sora wrapped the blanket around their shoulders, then leaned into Riku’s arms. Riku wrapped his arms around Sora, pressing closer then he’d ever been to the boy.
Sora would never admit it out loud, but in the farthest reach of his teenage boy mind, he’d dreamed of something like this happening to him and Riku. Of course minus the almost freezing to death part, but the getting all naked and…
“S-Sora?”
Sora jumped, which only caused him to push closer to Riku. Riku didn’t seem to care; he held onto Sora tighter, making Sora blush. But Sora knew it was only to get warmer and nothing else.
“Yeah?” Sora whispered.
“Remember what I said?” Riku glanced at Sora, smiling when the other turned to look at him.
“That I took off before you got to say anything?” Sora bit his lower lip.
“Yeah… Sora, you surprised me so much; I think I went into shock or something and I couldn’t speak.” Riku cast his eyes toward the ground.
“I’m sorry I made you think… that I didn’t feel the same way,” Riku whispered. His eyes went wide; he hadn’t been planning on saying that… Was it true?
Riku looked at Sora; he smiled, the feeling in the pit of his stomach telling him that it was true.
“W-what?” Sora said, his eyes blinking rapidly. Did he just hear that?
“You know when Axel kissed you, I felt like someone had ripped my heart out.” Riku placed his forehead against Sora’s. “I meant what I said; Sora,” Riku blushed, “I-I love you.”
“Y-you do?” Sora’s chin started to tremble, as tears fell down his cheeks.
Riku’s eyes went wide, “Sora, why are you crying?” Had he done something wrong?
Sora grinned through his tears, “s-silly, Riku, don’t you know people cry when they’re sooo happy?”
Sighing, Riku cuddled closer to Sora, holding him tightly. Sora blushed, but held Riku just as tight; he rested his head in the crook of Riku’s neck.
“Sora?”
“Yeah?”
“There’s something else you should know.” Riku pulled slightly away from Sora so could look the teen in the eyes.
“What?”
“About the kiss.” Riku reached up, placing a hand on Sora’s cheek.
“Everyone came up with a plan to make me jealous; that’s why Axel kissed you. Everyone’s really sorry; they didn’t expect you to get so upset… and Axel’s not interested in you at all; he’s going out with Roxas.”
Sora blinked. How had… everyone known about him? He had only told Yuffie and the girl promised not to tell.
“Are you okay, Sora?” Riku whispered.
“I’m… torn between being mad at them for putting their noses where they didn’t belong and being thankful; the kiss was what made me confess…”
Sora gazed up, “I guess just this once I’ll forget and forgive.” Sora smiled.
“I figured you would. Sora, you’ve got to be the sweetest person on the island… no the world.”
Sora blushed. “Not true… but thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
Sora yawned, his eyes starting to flutter.
Riku grinned, “let’s sleep and wait out the storm.”
No answer came from Sora; Riku looked down at the teen and smiled. “Aww.” he whispered. Sora was sound asleep. He looked really adorable.
Gently laying back, Riku cradled Sora in his arms. Blushing, he gently kissed Sora’s shoulder.
“I love you.” Closing his eyes, Riku tried to fall asleep.
