FOUR: Big Belly Blues
___________________________________

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just arrived at Traverse International Airport.
It's a sunny 87 degrees outside and the sky is a perfect blue. For those of you
hitting the beach later on today, the water's temperature varies between the 62
and 67 degrees. We hope you enjoy your stay and we thank you for flying with
Kingdom airlines."

"Wohoo! Finally, we're out of that
plane!"
Sora looked back through the large windows
at the small jet they had taken as they walked away from it to go pick up the
rest of their luggage. He turned and rearranged the position of the handbag on
his right shoulder and made a face. "If we took the ferry, I wouldn't have
been sweating like this."
Riku smiled, "The ferry would've
taken another hour because it's high season. We got here in less than 30
minutes with the plane."
"When will you just admit that you
lost those ferry tickets?"
Riku smirked and shrugged, "I can't
admit something I didn't do."
Sora gawked at him. He had secretly
known it all along. "You threw them away didn't you?!"
Riku shrugged again, shaking his head.
"No. I never bothered buying them."
Sora growled at him. "Baby, you
know I hate flying."
"I know, but now you'll get to see
Kairi quicker, or won't you?"
Sora huffed and sped up his pace. He
then pointed back at him with a threatening finger. "Don't even think I'm
letting you off that easily!"
They picked up their luggage and placed
the larger suitcases in the trolley, now ready to head towards the arrival's
hall.
"Look," Riku pointed as they
walked through the archway; "She and Wakka are already waiting for
us!"
"You're still a jerk," Sora
said.
Soon enough the redheaded girl spotted
her life-long friends walking towards her.
"Sora! Riku! Finally!" She
exclaimed, running up to them with a happy blush on her face. She hugged Sora
tightly and then moved to the blonde. "We were expecting you like two days
ago. What happened?"
Sora grinned and turned to him.
"Yeah, baby, what happened?"
Riku shot him a glare and then turned to
her while shrugging, "Sora miss-booked our flight."
Which
was actually true. They
were supposed to have taken the ferry three days ago, but when they found out
that the tickets Riku allegedly had bought were missing, he proposed to take
the plane so they wouldn't lose any extra hours with booking for the next
ferry. Sora had been assigned to that task and since he had lacked the time to
go to the nearest travel agency to book two tickets for the next flight to Destiny Port, he tried booking them on the
internet... with all the known results.
"Why that son of a�" Sora took
a breath to calm himself. "Jerk! We wouldn't be
here if it hadn't been for you not buying those ferry tickets
in the first place...!"
Riku suddenly began whistling a happy
tune.
Kairi laughed and helped him with his
luggage. "I see you guys fixed things?" She asked softly.
Sora nodded with a smile. "Like I
told you two weeks ago over the phone, we compromised and now it's all
better."
"I still can't believe he did that
to you," She whispered, looking at Riku's back as they all walked towards
the exit now.
Sora gave a court nod, "Yeah, well,
it's all in the past and I've forgiven him. I would appreciate it if you did
too, Kairi." He added when he saw the girl's sceptic stare. "Deep
down, he's still the same Riku we grew up with. I just know it."
She wrapped an arm around his waist and
nodded reluctantly, "Okay, but I have no idea how you do it, Sora... If I
had been you�"
Sora shook his head and smiled,
"There was much more to it than what I told you and I'm sure that if I
explain the entire story to you, you'll come to understand."
She gave him a suspicious look,
"Somehow I feel like you had your revenge on him."
Sora laughed, "Oh yeah. One he's
not about to forget anytime soon."
They both laughed and caught Riku's
attention, who looked back at them questioningly.
"Have the annual Sora-Kairi stupidities started again?"
They stuck their tongues out to him and
laughed again, gossiping furiously as they passed him by.
"And I who thought I had left all
the rumours behind me."
Wakka grinned, "Why did you think
that, man? You're probably even more popular here than you are in the city, ya? I mean everybody knows you come from here. And it's
only gotten worse since you had that spread in 'Cosmopolitan'."
Riku groaned and rearranged his
sunglasses and his black bucket hat. "How I regret that now." He then
watched Sora loading their luggage into the big black Jeep and suddenly thought
of something. "But I don't need to worry about a massive attack from
females, right? They know I'm already committed, right? To
Sora, right?" His voice was slightly getting higher as he kept
trying to calm himself with each shake of his friend's head.
Wakka helped Kairi put a large suitcase
into the trunk, "I know I don't need to repeat this to you, but, in the
future, try and stick to only Sora, not only for his sake, but for yours too.
That secretary has a big mouth; the news she slept with you reached local news
papers. And people now know you swing both ways."
"I didn't think the news would
spread itself so far... I thought only the main isle knew..." Riku closed
his eyes, "It was hard enough for Sora to endure the humiliation there...
and now here too? I didn't think of that..."
"Hey,
Rik, chill, ya?" Wakka whispered, placing a hand on his shoulder,
"Our family knows it was but an accident and Sora and you are back
together. Just focus on that, ya?
You guys have seen worse than this."
�Yeah�� he absent-mindedly whispered
back as he watched Kairi and Sora step into the car and sitting themselves on
the back seat after they had closed the trunk, still babbling.
�It�s no time to be talking about stuff
like that anyways, eh bro?� Riku took place in the passenger's seat and closed
his door. �You�re like only marrying the prettiest girl of the Destiny Islands
Archipelago��
�Hey, hold it right there,� Kairi
suddenly intervened, flashing him an angry stare. �What do you mean �the
prettiest girl of the Destiny Islands Archipelago�?�
�Eh?� Riku gave his friend a questioning
look only to see the redhead wince silently behind the steering wheel. �Err� I
meant uh� the most gorgeous woman in the world?�
�Jerk,� she whispered with a playful
smile.
�It�s amazing how we both feel the same
about that retarded specimen of the human male�� Sora added with an evil smirk
to his boyfriend. �Sometimes I wonder how I got stuck with that.� He then laughed as he saw Riku�s expression of indignation
and leant forwards to press a soft kiss on his lips, winking to him as he sat
back.
�You got a lot of explaining to do, Blondielocks,� Kairi then added with a more serious look on
her face before turning back to Sora.
Riku sighed and turned around in his
seat to put his seatbelt on, scratching the back of his head at the slightly
embarrassing moment that had just passed. �That was to be expected��
Wakka gave him a friendly shoulder tap
and then started the car. �Hey, she was just worried about the both of you. We
all were.�
�Yeah�� Riku smiled softly. �But we�re
okay now.�
�That�s good, bro,� Wakka said with a
chuckle, keeping his eyes on the road, ��cuz I
wouldn�t have wanted to explain to our families why the wedding would�ve been
cancelled, ya?�
�Come on, you can�t be serious,� Riku
chuckled back, shaking his head.
�Oh no, we are.�
One silver eyebrow rose in silent
surprise.
�Kairi and I would�ve annulled our
wedding if you two had split up,� Wakka confirmed his friend. �Kairi said she�d
be devastated if that ever was to happen. Said she wouldn�t
be able to enjoy the most important day in her life if the people she cared for
most weren�t happy themselves.�
Riku turned to look outside his window
with a pensive expression on his face. �I had no idea we had that much
influence on the wedding.�
�Oh yea�� the redhead said with a grin.
�You guys are very important to us��
�Wakka,� Riku gave him an uncomfortable
smile and slightly shook his head. �We don�t want yours and Kairi�s happiness
to depend on us�?�
�Don�t worry bro, ya?�
Wakka briefly cast him a glance and smirked. �The wedding is just a symbolic
ritual, Kairi and me still�d
be happy together if you two had chosen to break up. It�s just that there ain�t a point in having a wedding if our best friends
aren�t happy in their love lives.�
An understanding smile formed on the
silver haired male and he nodded. �But eh� you sure it isn�t just a reason to
eventually postpone the wedding again?�
�Yeah, eh�� Wakka turned to look at him
briefly again and lowered his voice; �How �back together� are you with Sora?�
Riku laughed.
�No man,� he then said with a loving
smile on his face. �I want to marry her. She�s the one for me. I�ve known it
ever since I first laid my eyes on her.�
Riku nodded, remembering the many times
he had caught Wakka staring at the new auburn haired girl that had then just
moved from the vast land to their peaceful island.
Even though his longing gazes didn�t
meet the same feelings he hoped for the first few years, it was by chance that
their hearts chose to beat for one and other to make the friendship they had
already established bloom into a passionate love story.
�I�m glad I�m still alive to witness the
day you�ll get married�� Riku joked, earning a crooked smile from his friend.
�Nothing
like that happening anytime soon for you guys?� Wakka teased, his eyes rolling up and looking into
the rear-view mirror to rest on the laughing brunet sitting in his back seat.
�I hear that they�ve approved gay marriage in Xillion.�
�Sora and I aren�t going to�� he
answered with a soft reminiscing smile. �We�re fine the way we are.� He rested
his eyes on Sora in the rear-view mirror and their gazes met. They smiled at
each other before Riku turned to look at the scenery outside his window to hide
the unexpected sad gleam his eyes had suddenly gotten.
�We don�t have anything to prove. Not to
anyone.�
___________________________________

His room still looked the same ever
since he last saw it almost 4 years ago.
Well, not entirely the same.
"I don't think I've ever seen it so
clean in my whole life," Riku whispered as they stood by the door and
placed their bags down.
Sora giggled and stepped in, looking
around in nostalgia as every little thing in the room revealed a long lost
memory. "Oh my God..." He grinned, now staring at his airboat model.
"Only the bed has changed,"
Riku noted, pointing towards the corner near the window.
Sora turned his head and noticed the
two-persons bed readily placed on the same spot Sora's old one had been.
"No more fights over the blanket."
Riku laughed and peeked into the
bathroom, "Nothing much has changed in here either."
Sora sat down on the bed and fell back
on it. "I'm so glad to be back here."
Riku turned and walked up to the bed
before laying himself on top of him. "You know, you were the one who kept
whining about how sweaty you were..." He nuzzled his throat and planted a
kiss there. "How about reliving some of those cherished memories, hm?"
Sora chuckled and took hold of his head
to bring it down for a kiss. "Just so you know, I
still haven't forgiven you."
Riku raised an eye brow and smirked.
"Show me how mad you are then, huh?"
"Wow, I think I went back in time,
because that scene looks strangely familiar to me."
Riku fell face
first on the mattress as Sora turned his head to see the person standing by the
door.
"Cloud!" The brunet exclaimed and pushed Riku over. "I'm
so glad to see you!"
"Hey there Sora," Kairi's
brother said with a snow-white smile. "Good to see you too!"
"Hey Cloud," Riku said from
his spot on the bed.
"Sorry for interrupting so cruelly,
Rik," He replied with a chuckle as he now
embraced Sora with his right arm.
"How have you been?" Sora
asked, looking him over. "Kairi told me you've recovered more functions in
your left arm?"
Cloud showed him his hands and wiggled
all of his fingers, though you could see that the left hand fingers went a
little slower than the right hand ones. "Yes, it's beginning to re-gain
all of its former abilities, though lifting stuff still proves itself to be a
little difficult."
"That's good news!" Sora said
cheerfully.
Riku stood up and nodded, "You'll
have full functions back in no time, I'm sure."
"Yeah, the doctors said so
too," he smiled at them. "Leon and I came to help plan the wedding.
That is, if it's ever going to take place."
"How many times has it been postponed
now?" Riku jokingly said, placing his arms around Sora from behind and
pressing a kiss in his neck. "Three-four times?"
"This time it'll stick, you'll
see..." Sora soothingly said, leaning back against him. "Otherwise
I'll make it stick. I can no longer hear that woman's wedding fantasies."
Cloud laughed, "It's good to see
you guys again. I had heard some worrying news concerning you two."
"Well, as you can see," Sora
said with a big grin, "there's nothing left to worry about." And to
stress that statement he looked up at Riku and they shared a soft kiss.
"Yes, the position I found you in
was enough proof as well."
Riku buried his face into Sora's hair
and nodded. "And I for one would like to get back into that
position..."
A red blush appeared on Sora's cheeks
and he chuckled nervously, feeling how Riku was making little thrusts with his
hips against him. "Errm...
yeah. So, uh, was there something else you needed to tell us?"
Cloud chuckled and averted his eyes,
"Just that we're going to 'Oblivion' tonight with the rest of the gang.
It�s a little before 10 now, so if you're planning on having the rest of the
day �off', you know where to find us after 11 o'clock tonight. I'm taking your
mother to Castleview Mall for tomorrow's dinner
party, Kairi is joining us. Wakka went to practice and Leon is
catching up on some sleep because he arrived late last night from Dusk."
Sora only made an agreeing sound as he
could no longer trust his own voice now that his body had awakened to Riku's
provocative movements behind him.
As soon as the door fell
shut behind Cloud, Sora turned around to face Riku with an impish smile on his
lips. "Now I remember how easy it was to get you all worked up back in the
days..."
Riku smirked and grabbed him by his
hips, "And I remember how I once took you," he twirled them around,
"against this same wall."
"G-God... Riku..."
With his nimble fingers he unbuttoned
the white shirt Sora had on, nearly drooling at the little erected buds that
got revealed and the lean muscles of his caramel toned abdomen. Not resisting
the urge, he soon moved in for a taste of skin on tongue, capturing one small
peak of flesh in between his teeth while his hands slid up his back underneath
the loosened fabric of his shirt, holding him to him.
Desire had now long taken command over
Sora's body and he held him to him as well, wanting to feel him against his
skin as much as possible.
"Baby, hurry..."
Riku slid his hands into Sora's kaki
pants and grabbed his twin cheeks in each, adding more friction between their
growing arousals. Their lips intertwined in a fervent dance of tongues while
clothing steadily began to fall to the floor around them until there was
nothing left on them and their naked bodies writhed sensually against the wall
next to the bathroom door.
"What if mum comes in...?"
Sora suddenly whispered, the thought having crossed his mind. He held back a
moan as Riku kissed his way up his throat.
"I'm trying to get laid here and
you're asking me about your mum?"
Sora's chuckle soon turned into another
moan. Riku lifted his left leg and pressed up closer to him, sending another
bolt of electricity up his spine. "How do you want us to
explain it if she comes in?"
Riku growled and detached himself from
Sora's skin to look at him. "Babe, you're not 17 anymore. I think she
knows you're no longer a virgin."
"B-but we-ahh...
we sometimes do it 6 times a day..."
Riku chuckled and lifted him up by his
hips a little. Sora wrapped his arms and legs around him. "We can find
other spots to have our little one-on-ones."
"Hmm..." Sora kissed him,
"Got any ideas?"
"The beach," Riku kissed him
back, "Our old secret spot, the sea-side shack."
Sora bit back a yell as he now felt
Riku's tip pressing up against his entrance. "Baby, please we shouldn't
make too much noise, they're still downstairs... I really don't want�"
"Like this?" Riku sheathed
himself inside of him with a slow thrust, grinning from ear to ear at the loud
whimper his boyfriend let out.

Sora grabbed the back of Riku's head and pulled him to
him. "I hate you..." He then softly whimpered, trembling slightly now
that he pulled back out. Riku moved in to kiss him and hushed his protest,
taking him to that place of sinful pleasure and parent-free bliss.

___________________________________

Thick drops
of water sprouted out of the silver showerhead as Sora set it on 'raindrops'
and stepped into the shower.
"What
are you waiting for?"
Riku rolled
over the bed with a groan. "For you to get back in here..." He said,
sitting on the edge of the large bed and flashing him a seductive smile.
"Cloud said we had all day."
Sora placed
his head underneath the refreshing spray of lukewarm water and turned around to
give him a reprimanding look. "You seriously wanted to spend our first day
here in bed?"
"What?
You don't like the company?" Riku joked and made an amused face in
response to Sora's playful pout.
Somewhere in
the room he suddenly heard his mobile phone vibrate.
He stood up
with a yawn and looked around for his pair of black designer cargo pants.
"I'll be right back, babe." Riku said as he found them and began to
put them on. He took the black device in his hand and opened it.
"Okay,"
Sora said from underneath his shower.
"Makoto,"
Riku spoke as he closed the door to Sora's room behind him.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything, Riku?" A familiar voice spoke from the
other side of the line.
A smile
formed on Riku's lips and he chuckled, "I'm on vacation, you'll always be
interrupting something every time you�ll call, Thomas."
The man was
clearly amused by that statement. "Then I'll be brief."
"Yes,
by all means be."
"Mr. Nobuhiro
has arranged for you and Sora to stay at your ancient mansion. This, of course, in regard of your own security."
"The
press finally caught on?"
"It seems they've been kept out of the
loop so far about your little trip, but I would suggest you move to your old
house as soon as possible to avoid possible problems."
Riku sighed
and rolled his eyes. This is where being famous sucked ass even more. "How
many have there been assigned to me?"
"Four. Two for you
and two for Sora. Your first escort will arrive in 20 minutes. They will
call, as soon as I hang up, for confirmation. You are still at the Nagakawa residence?"
"Yes.
You have my thanks, Thomas."
"Thank Mr Nobuhiro, he is the one
looking after his favourite apprentice."
Riku
could've sworn to have heard a little bit of contempt in his voice, but decided
to shake it off for the time being. He came to the conclusion that it perhaps
was better to move to a more secured house now that he thought about all the
people in town and the rumours that still roamed around here... There was
nothing else to do�
"AAH! Riku!"
"Have a pleasant stay, Riku."
Without much
thought Riku murmured a 'thanks' and hung up, hurrying back inside the room. "Sora? Sora, what's going�"
He didn't
need to finish his sentence, for outside the room's sole window was a large,
black camera and a white flashlight that went off.
Not wasting
another minute Riku grabbed Sora who had clad himself in a dressing robe and
sheltered him from the flashes as they hurried out of the room.
"Shit!"
He cursed underneath his breath, now slamming the door closed. He looked at
Sora who was still wet from his shower and gave him an apologising gaze.
"We
can't stay here anymore, right?" Sora whispered sadly.
Riku bit his
lower lip and shook his head. His phone then rang again and he picked it up,
knowing exactly what he was going to say to the person on the other line.
"We
need you to be here ASAP."
"Yessir."
Riku then
turned to Sora and took him in his arms. "I didn't expect for them to find
us that quickly. I'm sorry, ange."
Sora let go
of him and shook his head. "I was just surprised, that's all. I knew this
would happen eventually." He smiled nervously and quickly buried himself
into his arms again.
"There's
an escort coming to get us soon for my old house on Dawn Street. They've
secured it."
Sora only
nodded and Riku could feel a shiver run through his lover's body. "Good
thing we didn't unpack yet." He kissed his forehead. "I'll close the
curtains so we can go get our luggage and you can get dressed, ok?"
"Okay,"
Sora whispered, taking position next to the door.
Riku entered
and flashes of light exploded from the room, but soon ceased a few moments
later.
"Coast
is clear."
Sora entered
his darkened room and took a breath. "I just hope they'll leave my family
alone."
"Don't
worry, get dressed," Riku whispered soothingly as he put on his white wife
beater top. "I'll make sure of it personally that they leave your parents
alone."
Sora put on
a clean pair of shorts, his white cargo designer shorts and a sleeveless black
top with a hoodie. He searched in his handbag for his
large sunglasses, put them on and followed Riku out of his room.
This wasn't
the first time, obviously, that this situation had occurred. Although Riku's
newly acquired status as a prominent member of DC's jet set had earned him the
needless amount of publicity that came along with it, the fuss around him and
his 'alternate lifestyle' had quickly died out in a matter of weeks after his
first TV-appearance as Nobuhiro Zaibatsu's
heir. Sure, there were interviews he had to give now and then and occasional
public appearances, but he and Sora had been able to continue on with their
lives just fine. At least, the problems they had had in the past few months
weren't because of their exposure in the press.
Riku had
always valued Sora's ability to withstand the sometimes burning spotlights, but
that didn't mean that he would leave him unprotected to prying eyes.
If there was
one thing that they valued most as a couple, then it was their privacy. No
reporter had ever gotten any question regarding either one's partner answered
and so far, no pictures of them in compromising positions had ever been
released in the press �not that there weren't any taken, but the Nobuhiro Conglomerate simply had enough power to keep those
pictures from ever seeing the light.
So when Sora
put his handbag over his shoulder and descended the stairs he knew his family
and friends would be safe from the press. He felt bad of course that they now
would have to leave his parental house, but he found comfort in knowing that
they'd still be able to see each other at the Makoto Mansion and that this
small sacrifice was worth it.
He put his
handbag on the sofa and walked over to the window to close the blinds.
"We'll
have to move the dinner party to the mansion," Sora whispered, peeking
through the small shelves of PVC.
"Hey,"
Riku walked over to him and brushed back a few strands of his damp hair behind
an ear. "We're still going to have our romantic weeks here. Nothing has
changed."
Sora rose
and eyebrow sceptically.
"Apart from the bodyguards then."
"Mum
wanted for us to stay here so badly..." Sora then said with a slight pout.
"They just had to go and ruin everything."
"As
soon as we get at the mansion we'll call her and explain the situation, ange. Don't worry." Riku took him in his arms again
and hugged him tightly, breathing in the scent of his hair. "I won't let
those picture crazy motherfuckers ruin our stay
here."
"This
is supposed to be our home!" Sora chimed in, muffled against his chest.
"Yeah,
and we won't get chased away because of them." He took off Sora's
sunglasses and looked into his blue eyes, now smiling down at him. "You know
you mean the world to me, right?"
Sora giggled
and nodded. "You mean the world to me too."
Riku took
him in his arms again and closed his eyes, pressing a kiss into his neck. This
was the best time to tell him what he had heard from Wakka earlier on. "Ange, there's something Wakka said to me earlier that has
gotten me worried a little."
Sora frowned
from over his shoulder but didn't say anything.
"A
local tabloid managed to get an interview with Lanelle,
Sora."
Riku could
hear Sora gulp.
"How
much did she tell?"
"Enough
for me to be seen as a double-faced, heartless cheat in your regard," Riku
answered in a small voice.
A long
breath then escaped the brunet and he held him tighter. "As long as I know
what really happened, her side of the story doesn't matter to me and I won't
care what anybody says or thinks."
"Sora,
but if it causes for you to go through the same amount of humiliation �"
Sora
detached himself from him with a reassuring smile. "Haven't you listened
to me? I don't care. You're the one I trust, you're the one I love. And what
happened between you and her meant nothing." He placed his right hand on
Riku�s heart. "This is what I'm truly interested in, not in what some
bimbo said."
Riku nodded
in determination and moved in to brush the tip of their noses together.
"Please tell me you're real and that someone up there must've smiled at me
when you walked into my life."
"I love
you, Riku." Sora said with a small chuckle, taking his face in his hands.
Riku took a
deep breath and pressed their foreheads together. "You have no idea how
much I love you too, my angel."
They hugged
again and then walked over to the sofa to sit on, hand in hand, when the
doorbell went off.
"Time to go?" Sora wondered, standing up again
with his handbag.
Riku looked
through the peephole and nodded at him. "It's Niki
and Toni. Come on."
After having
grabbed his own handbag from the floor next to the door, Riku gestured for him
to approach and handed him his sunglasses. "On
three."
As soon as
the door opened, a shower of flashing lights fell upon them and they quickly
made their way to the big black vehicle that stood in front of the house.
"You sure know how to pick
them," Sora commented as they were now standing in front of the immense
car, "You sure you're not royalty of some remote country?"
"Just get in the car," Riku
chuckled, shaking his head, "I'm but a humble orphan who came back to his
roots."
Sora climbed into the car and sat
himself down on the soft leather seats, "When have you ever been
humble?"
The blond sat himself across from him
and shrugged, "It was worth the try."
Sora laughed and turned around to look
through the blinded windows at the small crowd of paparazzi that tried to get
to a shot of the couple sitting in the car. �Gosh, they�re like annoying bugs
swarming around your head.�
�Too bad we can�t just run them over and
squash them.� Riku growled, eying the flashing bulbs of light with an annoyed
stare.
___________________________________

The inhabitants of Dawn Street did not
know what hit them when the impressive jet black Hummer drove into their
street. Sure, those who lived there had a higher status among the rest of Destiny Port's population and they recognised
wealth when they saw it driving down their avenue so early in the afternoon,
but everybody knew everybody around here and no one recognised that car.
"Hey Riku, look! It's Mr Ishisu!" Sora pointed at a man sitting on his porch
reading the paper.
Riku grinned as he recognised the old
grocery store owner who had always looked after him and Sora when they were but
little boys.
"He must be enjoying a
well-deserved retirement by now� I'm glad to see he's still around."
Nearly all house doors had opened and
curious inhabitants were pouring out of them, anxious to see the owners of the big
black car that now drove onto the Masako's driveway. All knew the mansion had
been vacant for years ever since the last owner died.
"Oh, this is going to be fun,"
Sora giggled excitedly turning towards the exit of the car.
Riku rolled his eyes, "This is
annoying� or rather, it's going to be."
"Oh come on, Riku�"
"No, I'm being serious," he
replied, "Half these people abhorred the idea of you and I being together,
did you forget?"
Sora tilted his head to the side and
gave him a smile, "They can't do anything to you; you're like super
famous. Who cares what they think?"
"I don't worry about that,
babe," Riku said, "I was worrying about you."
"Why?" the younger male
questioned, shrugging.
"I haven't forgotten how they
treated us when we came back from DC after that car accident you had."
"Baby, that was 4 years ago,"
Sora said, "I've moved past that now. I won't care about them if they're
still the happy stuck up bunch from before."
The car's door opened.
"And anyways, why worry? I'm with
you."
Sora winked back at him and moved
towards the exit, his right hand on the doors' handle.
Riku followed him out of the car and
into the welcoming sun.
"This
way, sir. Hurry."
A crowd of onlookers had begun to form
itself around the car, but none could see whom it was the bodyguards were
escorting inside the white mansion.
The large entry doors swung open and
Sora and Riku where quickly ushered into the breathtaking entrance hall by
their guards before the doors got closed and locked again.
Sora looked around himself in awe as he
remembered how beautiful Riku�s old house had always been; from the snow white
marble floor to the crystal chandelier and the twin set of stairs that led up
to the rooms upstairs.
�We�ll have the household staff take care
of your luggage, sir,� the big black man named Toni said to Riku.
�Ok, that�s good,� Riku replied with a
thankful smile.
�It is important you stay inside, sir,
until we�ve finished putting a security parameter around the house,� the
bodyguard added.
�Alright.�
Sora looked away from his surroundings
and smiled softly at the intimidating, long haired, blonde bodyguard standing
behind him. What was his name again�? Oh
right� Niki. He averted his gaze and then faced the other man standing
in front of him. �Toni? How long will that take?�
The large, bulky man gave him an
unknowing expression. �I�m sorry, Sora. Perhaps 2 to 3 hours?�
Riku gave Sora an apologizing look,
knowing how much his boyfriend had wanted to go explore his hometown.
�Well,� Sora sighed, �guess it can�t be
helped.� He smiled at Toni. �Thanks for getting us here.�
�Always a pleasure,� the man nodded. �We
asked the household staff to prepare the rooms on the second floor for your
stay. We�ve taken over the apartments on the first floor for better security.�
Sora chuckled and turned to Riku. �Household staff? Like maids and butlers and stuff? You guys
turned this place into a hotel!�
�Does it pose a problem?� Toni
interjected. �Mister Nobuhiro preferred the thought
of his heir having around the clock service.
Riku grinned and looked at Sora. �I like
it.�
�Gee, what a surprise!� Sora threw back
at him with a smile. He then rolled his eyes and smirked. �So you said second
floor, Toni?�
�Yeah,
the second.�
�Okay,� Sora turned to the stairs. �Left or right? I wouldn�t want to lose myself here. I
remember how huge this place used to be.�
Riku chuckled and turned to the muscled
blonde man that stood right from him. �Could you go with him?�
The man nodded sternly and preceded Sora
up the stairs. The young brunette gave his boyfriend a wondering look and
whispered very softly; �He looks constipated.�
�Just go, I�ll be there in a minute,�
Riku smirked, waving him away.

Sora smirked back and followed his bodyguard up the
right set of stairs.

Rapid
synthesized beats were booming though the large club. Flashlights and laser
projections illuminated the dancing crowd and artificial smoke added to the
creation of the transparent illusions.
The DJ made
one track magically flow into another, creating a heavy bass beat stream of
dance music.
With his
bottle of Red Bull firmly clasped in one hand and Riku�s in his other, Sora
lead him through the sea of people on the dance floor and up the stairs towards
the VIP lodges Riku�s entourage had readily prepared for his arrival in club
�Oblivion�.
The sun had begun to set already by the
time they had been fully settled into their private suite at the mansion; it
had taken them nearly all afternoon to unpack� that is, if you ignore the
little game of �tag� they played in their immense bathroom a few hours ago and
the fact that Riku had needed a shower after that, which then, somehow, had
resulted in him and Sora blowing bubbles while taking a bath�
They soon
spotted a familiar couple in the lounge with whom they had set up to meet.
�Where are
Kairi and Wakka?� Sora loudly asked in Cloud�s ear now that they were seated
next to each other on the big red couch of their lodge.
Cloud made a
movement wit his hand, making Sora understand that they went out for air.
�How was
your flight?� Leon
asked, offering Riku a glass of iced martini from their private cocktail tray.
�It went well,�
Riku answered and took a sip from his drink. �How was your voyage? I heard you
came all the way from Dusk?�
Leon nodded. �The
autumn/winter collection of Von Aglio Men.�
�Ah yea, I
remember now,� Riku said with a smile. �Sora told me you became their new
face.�
The tall
brunet nodded and smirked. �Your face is one that isn�t unknown to the media
either, eh?�
Riku
chuckled and placed his drink down. �Ugh, don�t remind me. I came here to find
peace from all that crap.�
�Hey!� Sora
suddenly exclaimed. �That�s Tidus! Over there!� He pointed in the direction of
the blond that was dancing closely with a brunette near the reeling of the
first storey a few meters further. Sora raised his bottle to him as their gazes
met and Tidus waved back enthusiastically before he gestured him that they�d
catch up later. He then turned his attention back on the girl he was with.
�Still the
incorrigible player,� Sora smirked as he sat back.
�He�ll be
the next one to get married and settle down, you�ll see,� Riku whispered in his
ear.
Sora turned
to him with a disbelieving smirk and shook his head. �We�d be more likely to
get married than him.�
Riku laid
his arm around his waist and pulled him closer to press a kiss on Sora�s left
temple. �Don�t make it sound like that�s never going to happen.�
�I thought
we talked about this�� Sora gave him a soft reprimanding look. �Riku��
�I just
would like for us to still have that option, even if you feel that we don�t
need to get married�Call me a big softie, but�� He fell silent and rubbed the
tip of their noses together.
Sora rolled
his eyes and smiled. �You really are in a romantic mood lately. What kind of a
bee stung you?�
�The
lovesick one,� he replied. �It woke me up in time to realise that I want to be
with you always. No matter what people around us say.�
Sora scooted
away from him a little and nervously chuckled. �Yeah, but baby, getting
married� that�s straight people stuff,� he said in a disdainful manner.
�And what�s
wrong with being straight?�
They both
looked up and Kairi stood there, wearing a short, layered, white lace skirt and
a white see through lace halter top with a matching white bikini top
underneath. On her feet she wore cute, high heeled, golden sandals. She wore
her hair, which had been extended to the small of her back and straightened,
down and golden earrings adorned her ears.
�In that outfit?� Riku whispered with a played
vacant look on his features. �Making gay people wish they were straight�� he
then laughed as he received an elbow blow from Sora.
She switched
her weight on her left foot and laughed. �Did you guys get here long ago?�
�No,� Sora
answered. He then looked at her outfit again and shook his head. �Geez, you seem to be treating Wakka very nicely seen as how
nearly non-existent your outfit is.�
Kairi laughed
again, �It�s all part of the plan.�
�What plan?�
�The big plan.�
�The big
plan,� Sora echoed.
She nodded,
�Yup.�
Sora gave
her a suspicious look and then crossed his arms over his chest. �I recognise
that glow,� he said as he watched her throw her hair back. �You�ve been
humping, haven�t you?�
�Is that the
only thing you gay people have on your mind?� She retorted with a chuckle,
sitting herself next to Riku who sat back when Sora leant towards her from his
other side.
�Maybe, but
you�re not denying, are you?� Sora said.
Kairi only
shrugged and sat back, smiling an incontestably satisfied smile.
�You
sleaze�� Sora said with an evil smirk.
�You queer��
She retorted, sticking out her tongue.
�Hussy!�
�Pussy!�
�Girls,
girls� there�s enough Riku for everyone!� Riku said, keeping the two friends at
a safe distance from each other.
�Are you
trying to get her to cheat on Wakka, you jerk?� Sora then asked Riku
threateningly with his hands on his hips.
�Did you
just call my Sora a girl?� Kairi wondered with a confused look on her face.
�How sick are you?!�
Riku blinked
and looked at both of their menacing faces. �But� I was only trying to��
�GET HIM!�
The next thing
Riku knew was that Sora was sitting on top of him on the couch and that Kairi
was sitting cross-legged next to his head, shooting murderous glances his way.
�Oh man.
Riku, what did these crazy honeys do to you?�
Wakka was
walking up the stairs to the lodge with two bottles of Bacardi Breezer in his hands.
�You have to
get me out of here, bro! They�ve totally lost it, both of them.� Riku said with
a grin. �Especially this one,� he pointed at Sora. �I think it�s broke or
something.�
�Asshole,�
Sora soundlessly said before demounting him and sitting next to him again.
�We thought
you were going to sit this one out. We�ve been waiting for quite a while,�
Wakka said, sitting down on the spot Kairi had occupied a few moments before.
She now sat down on his lap.
�Security
measures, man�� Riku apologetically said, shrugging innocently.
�So what�s
the big plan?� Sora asked, leaning with his elbows on Riku�s lap and looking at
the other couple expectantly.
�Plan?� Wakka whispered with a slight
frown.
The young brunet
sat up and laid his arms around Riku to lean against him. �The
reason why Kairi is glowing like a match stick over there.�
Kairi and
Wakka exchanged a meaningful look before turning to their friends again.
Wakka took
her right hand and kissed its palm lovingly. �Go ahead, tell them.�
�Okay, but
eh�� Kairi whispered, looking around. �I want Cloud to be here to listen to
this too, where is he?�
�I saw them
on the dance floor earlier,� Riku said. �I�ll go get them.�
Once all of
them were re-united Kairi took a breath and stood up from her seat in Wakka lap
so she could face all of them. �Ok. So eh, well� I�m just going to say it
directly. You guys, I�m pregnant.�
�No. Way��
Sora whispered, his mouth falling open in shock. �Kairi�I��
�Wow�!� Cloud chuckled, standing. �Are you sure?�
�I received
the long awaited phone call from the doctor this afternoon,� Kairi whispered,
nodding and bursting into laughter as her brother took her in his arms.
Riku began
to clap in his hands and everyone chimed in. �Congratulations!� he wrapped an
amicable arm around Wakka�s shoulders. �Wakka is
going to be a daddy!�
�It�s the
end of the world!� Sora loudly said with a chuckle, standing up to hug his
friend. �Oh my God, Kairi� this is a miracle!�
She nodded and
wiped away a few tears that had found their way out of her eyes. �It really
is�� she whispered over his shoulder. �We had almost given up hope.�
�You�re
going to be mama Kairi!� Sora giggled.
�This calls
for a toast!� Leon
said standing in turn and raising his glass while the others followed suit. He
took Cloud by his hand and held him close to him while they held their glass up
to Kairi and Wakka.
�To this
couple,� he began, �that has been through so much and has found profound
happiness.� He then looked at Cloud who smiled back at him and took over.
�May the
come of the new baby only reinforce their love and fill their life with joy and
more pleasures. To Kairi and Wakka!�
�To Kairi and Wakka!�
They all
applauded and congratulated the couple further while the night proceeded and
they all found a new reason to celebrate.
�So, I was
thinking.�
Kairi sat
herself down in the lodge after she and Riku had returned from the dance floor.
�Can a child have two god fathers?�
Sora grinned
and wrapped his arms around Riku�s neck while he moved his hips to the smooth
R&B tune that was playing. �I don�t think it can hurt.�
�I think it
can only work in the child�s favour,� Riku added, grinning himself now as he
locked eyes with Sora.
�Yeah! Yeah!� Sora chimed in, turning
to look at her now. �Presents wise, that is.�
Kairi
laughed and placed a hand on her forehead. �Okay, okay you�ve plead your case.
So what do you guys say?�
�Wait,� Sora
let go of Riku and gave him an over-surprised look. �You want us to be�?� he asked, turning to look at
her now. �Oh Kairi, we never saw it coming!�
Riku laughed
along with the others and held his boyfriend close again. �Yeah, you see, you
really need acting lessons babe.� He rested his smiling gaze on Wakka and
Kairi, �We�d be honoured to be your baby�s godfathers, you guys.�
�Thanks,
man,� Wakka stood up from his spot next to Kairi and exchanged a handshake with
Riku. �We appreciate.�
�Okidokie! This calls for more drinks!�
Sora called, letting go of Riku and stepping out of the lodge.
�Where is he
going?� Kairi whispered with a frown, �We have our drinks right here.�
�What�s
wrong with Sora?� Cloud wondered, having just walked back into the lodge again.
Riku sighed
silently and began to walk into the direction he had seen Sora go off to.
He had an
idea of what was wrong; he didn�t even blame his friends for not noticing that
Sora had been acting pretty strange all evening long.
___________________________________

�Come with
me.�
Sora
followed Riku into the lobby and sat down on the black couch in the middle of
the cool room.
�I�m sorry.�
Sora sighed
and shook his head. �No, Riku. I�m the one who should apologise.�
�If I had
known that bringing up the big �M� word would put you off guard that much, I wouldn�t
have brought it up.� Riku took him in his arms and kissed the crown of his
head.
�You�ve been
so wonderful and attentive and I just had to go and be like this��
Riku shushed
him and caressed his hair soothingly. �I understand��
�I�m trying
real hard,� Sora whispered, closing his eyes as he held on to him tightly.
�Trying real hard to be happy for her right now, but� God, I hate myself for
this��
Riku looked
at him from the corners of his eyes before closing them and looking away in
silent disappointment. �A part of you still wishes that she��
�Please
don�t say it!� Sora said in a miniscule voice. �I thought that if she couldn�t�
that I would be fine because then she wouldn�t have something that I can�t
have� What kind of a friend am I?!�
�A very good
one, babe,� Riku whispered in his ear, smiling soothingly at his soft sob. �You
know that we can have what they have too��
Sora fell
silent after that. He wanted children, so much. It has been one of his deepest
desires and somehow the next logical step in his relationship with Riku. And as
he looked into his calm, clear aqua eyes, he knew that nothing would stand in
the way of achieving that dream.
�There are
plenty possibilities�� Riku whispered against his lips, �And there�s plenty of
time��
�What on earth
would I do,� Sora whimpered, closing his eyes, �if you weren�t there to get rid
of my insecurities?�
�I love you,
ange�� Riku murmured, taking him in another embrace.
�I truly, truly do��
A small
frown formed on the older male�s face as he held Sora close. He now wondered if
there was another reason why Sora did not want to get married� He had noticed
how their conversation had once again deviated from that topic. Beside the
arguments Sora gave while laughing nervously, Riku believed that there was something
else that restrained him from even considering the idea.
Or maybe it
had all been badly timed out�?
He wouldn�t
question the love Sora had for him, after all marriage was but a symbolic
ritual� it didn�t prove someone loved the one they married.
Riku sighed
and re-enforced his embrace, closing his eyes to keep his own insecurities from
bubbling up from the depths of his mind.

Well, there
you have it�? Some of you will probably go �WTF� again, seen as how this is but
a filler chapter. Sorry for those of you out there who actually waited for this
new chapter to come out, but lately I have been feeling discouraged in writing
for this fandom, fearing that maybe my work here isn�t appealing anymore�
I rarely ask
for reviews, but people come on, we all know it�s what authors feed upon. And
honestly said, I�m tired of the hunger pain.
I�ll try and
continue to update this story as much and as fast as I can so I can finish it
quickly to move on to maybe better things.
As for the
other KH stories that are still in process, well� I�m not planning on making
any promises yet, it could be that I decide to give them away to other willing
authors or just throw them off my �to do�-list.
Bet you�ve
never seen me this gloomy eh? Ah well� we�ll see how things will be next time,
maybe then I�ll know if I�m wasting our time or not.
