Hello to all. I hope this turns out well and you all enjoy it because this is my first fanfic that is being showed to the world. I've been having a Kingdom Hearts overload both from the games and the stories so this is out of my obsession with it. Enjoy and please review. :] And I edited it a little.

It was cold, rainy, dark and depressing winter day. The sky was almost black from the weight of the clouds and the rain was biting cold. Rain splattered onto a group of people in black who where standing around a small mound of dirt, shadowed by a massive tombstone. A priest was standing behind the stone solemnly reading a passage from the bible. Everyone�s tears mixed with the rain and most of them hardly noticed their soaking clothes because their worlds were already cold. They had all been affected in one way or another when they had lost their sun, their Sora. But none where affected as much as the stoic, emotionless, silver-haired man who stood in between a woman with brown hair and a pink ribbon who was sobbing the loudest and a man with shockingly spiky, red hair who had a look of great sorrow and regret on his face.

Riku couldn�t hear the priest giving Sora his final words before his soul ascended to heaven, he couldn�t hear the sobbing woman beside him nor could he feel the cruel rain on his soaked skin. He felt and heard nothing. After the sermon Aerith, Sora�s mother, had to be drug off before she clawed her way to her son�s casket. Axel, the red-haired man, put a soft hand on Riku�s shoulder and after receiving no response from the man he decided to break him from his revelry.
�Riku, let�s go man.�

Riku did not stir, he simply stared at the grave where his beloved would lay for all eternity, without him. That thought brought a crushing weight down on Riku and he felt himself cringe away from it, but he couldn�t escape the horrible feelings he felt. Axel watched in silence as his best friend�s previously emotionless face erupted into pain and unimaginable grief, something Axel couldn�t begin to fathom. Instead of trying to force him away from Sora anymore then he already had been torn away, he left Riku there to his thoughts, hoping it would be better then nothing.

Sora�Riku couldn�t stop that name from coming to the fore front of his mind and it caused him so much pain, far to much pain. He didn�t want the memory of his, yes his, beautiful brunette to cause him pain, but after what had happened he couldn�t stop that pain from appearing. His sun, his world, the reason he lived had been ripped from his hands then stepped on and thrown in front of the worst the world could hold and he had seen it all. Riku had watched his lover die and he couldn�t do a thing.

Riku couldn�t tell if he was crying or not, but when a sob forced itself out of him the flood gates let loose and he couldn�t stop his anguished cries from reaching the church everyone else had been in, even through the din of the pounding rain. He fell to his knees in front of the grave, his fists balled into the grass as he screamed his pain to the heavens.
�Why Sora!? Why did you leave me behind!?�

Riku knew it wasn�t his beloved�s fault, but he couldn�t stop from feeling almost betrayed that his lover hadn�t let him die along with him. After an hour of nothing but tears and pain his voice grew hoarse and his body ached. He was tired, tired and unmotivated to continue with his meaningless life. He felt a hand touch his and he looked up to see Axel standing there, pity plastered all over his face.
�Come on Riku. Sora wouldn�t have wanted this.�

Riku took one last look at the grave as he stood up. His tears began anew as he read the words that were engraved, �Our sun, Our love, Our angel. May you rest in peace and happiness and shine in heaven as you have upon this earth. For our beloved son, husband and friend, we will miss you.�

Axel drug Riku into the church where Aerith stood puffy-eyed and staring at her widowed son-in-law. Everyone knew what Sora meant to him, what he would do for Sora and no one ever questioned their undying love for one another. Even when they would fight it was never bad and one or the other went crawling back begging for forgiveness. At first Aerith wasn�t sure about Riku, his background wasn�t the best, but he proved himself worthy of her child and now, at the age of twenty-three, he had become a widow. Aerith walked over to him, her tears threatening to renew as she wrapped her arms around him. Riku returned the gesture, hugging her tightly.

After what seemed like an eternity the two separated. They were the only two who had any idea of what the other was going through. Sora had made many people who loved him, but there was never as strong a bond between anyone else as with Aerith, his mother, and Riku, his husband, lover, best friend and anything else the brunette had wanted him to be.

Axel put a hand on Aerith and she smiled gently up at him, though her smile never really met her eyes. Another woman with long, almost black hair, walked over to stand next to Aerith.
�I�m going to take Riku home, you got Aerith, right Tif?�

Tifa, Riku�s mother, nodded. Her and Aerith had been best friends since middle school and where still close, though Aerith didn�t like Tifa�s husband, Xemnas. She looked over at Riku with sorrow in her eyes at seeing her youngest son in so much pain, but she knew Axel could take care of him and she knew Aerith needed her there as well.

Axel nodded back and led Riku to his black car that had always reminded Sora of the mafia, and he had also said so on many occasions. The drive back to Riku�s place was blanketed with silence. Axel shifted uncomfortably, words of comfort and reassurance escaping him. He felt terrible for his best friend because not only had he had to watch his husband get raped, tortured, then slowly killed, but he also had to stand in front a jury next week to tell people he didn�t know all about the horrible event. Those idiots didn�t even get the right guy either. Apparently they had been after some kid named Roxas, who ever the hell that was and he knew Riku A) either hated his guts or B) prayed he received a fate worse then Sora. As far as Axel was concerned he didn�t see how anyone could�ve mistaken their adorable Sora for some random kid they had no connection to. The whole situation was frustrating for him and he couldn�t imagine what it was like for Riku.

Riku turned his head towards Axel, his eyes sorrowful, but a slight form of amusement on his lips. Axel looked at him with concern. Maybe he had lost it since he didn�t think he had anything to be amused about. He kept glancing at Riku who kept staring at him. Finally he cracked.
�Why the fuck are you staring at me like that?�

Riku looked out the window then, in a very hoarse voice said quietly.
�You passed my house.�

Axel looked around him and then cursed loudly before turning his car around and speeding up to Riku�s huge house. He had always thought it was far to big for just Riku and Sora, but as he knew Sora had loved it so Riku got it. Now with just Riku he knew it would feel like an empty castle. As he pulled into the drive way he turned to Riku.
�Do you want me to stay with you man? I can.�

Riku shook his head and opened the door stepping out into the pouring rain. Truth be told he really didn�t know how he would be able to face the empty house full of reminders of Sora, but he needed to be alone. He looked over at Axel.
�Thanks, but it�s okay. I just�I need to sort through some things�By myself.�

Axel watched as his friend walked towards his house and then a thought struck him. He opened the door and called over to Riku.
�Hey Ri! You better not kill yourself man. I mean it!�

Riku nodded solemnly and then walked into his large, empty house. He almost wished he had had Axel stay with him that night, but he really didn�t want his friend to witness what he knew was coming. His personal hell should be kept just that, personal. Riku stood in the entry way for a good five minutes, staring at the pictures of him and Sora on the wall. He walked further into the house, his clothes dripping water onto their hard wood floors. This had been the first house he had ever owned and it had been with Sora. This was their home, but there was no longer a �their�. Now there was just Riku. Alone. And he felt every bit of that aloneness, he could feel it eating away at him even now.

Riku ran his hand along the couch. It was baby blue, Sora�s favorite color. Riku had gotten it for him when they moved in and that was the first place they had, in a sense, �broken in�. He felt that searing pain again. It was so powerful that it was actually turning into physical pain. His heart was killing him slowly and he knew he couldn�t stand it much longer. He had promised Axel not to kill himself, but that promise looked more like a condemnation to him rather then something to protect him.

Everything hit him as he looked at their wedding picture. Sora was dressed in a black wedding suit that looked exquisite on him, his messy spikes looked liked they had been willed into a some what controlled style on his head and he was holding a bouquet grinning that goofy ear to ear grin he got when he was extremely happy. Next to him was Riku himself, smiling with pure bliss, his hair hung loose around him, the way Sora loved it, and his arm was lovingly wrapped around his husband�s shoulder. Three years, three years they had been married and everything was taken from him by some punks with a vendetta for someone else.

Riku pulled the picture from off the wall and cradled it in his arms, tears spilling from his cerulean blue eyes. The family he and Sora had always wanted was gone, the life they worked so hard to get was gone, Sora was gone. Riku crumbled to the ground his whole frame shaking as he once again cried in anguish at the lose of his love, his life. Sorrow, pain, anger, hate was consuming his weakened heart. In a rage he threw the picture across the room, shattering the glass before it hit the ground, the noise bringing Riku back from his own pain. He stared at the shattered frame and slowly stood up to retrieve it. He didn�t bother to clean the mess up, just pulled the picture from it�s broken frame and made sure it hadn�t ripped. He looked around him the memories would haunt him forever. He felt like the walls around him were trying to add to his pain, trying to beat him down. He also knew he didn�t need to stay, he didn�t need to be reminded of their life everywhere he looked.

Riku knew he couldn�t deal with the pain, he wouldn�t survive if he surrounded himself with reminders of Sora. He looked around at his house filled with grandeur, all of it so Sora would be comfortable when Riku was gone, but now that he was gone he hated it. He folded the wedding picture up neatly and shoved it in his pocket. He walked over to the garage door, not sure what he was really going to do, just wanting to escape from the pain, if only for a moment. He walked over to his red Porsche and climbed in, starting the beautiful machine up and pulling out of the garage. And after that he just drove, he drove for hours not sure where he was driving to either, not until he pulled up to a marina and looked out over the ocean to a small island, privately owned by none other then him. He was going to surprise Sora by telling him they were going to live there soon. No one knew, no one would be able to find him and he would be able to wallow in his misery or escape his pain if he so chose to.

Riku�s cell phone buzzed loudly from his pocket and he pulled it out to look down at it. Axel�s number stared back at him and he pressed the end button. Riku got out of his car and walked over a kid who was humming along with his music. He looked about eighteen and not well off. He tossed his car keys next to him along with his cell phone. The kid looked up at him in confusion and then Riku went over and got a boat over to his new home. He wasn�t going to die, but no one said he had to live either.

Okay first chapter is finished. Roxas shall make an appearance in the next chapter. That didn't take as long as I thought it would, but I hope it's good. It's really depressing and it won't stay that way for long, well sort of, but I do promise a lot more smut in the future. So please review and let me know if I should just scrap this or continue.
