For Riku Lovers

   You take a deep breath, soaking up the sun as you sit on the beach. You come to the destiny islands as often as you get the chance, it's been more peaceful lately. You lean back, enjoying the warmth.
   Someone taps your shoulder. "Planning on taking a nap?" His voice teases. You open your eyes to look at Riku, who's standing over you. He smiles warmly. You return the smile, glad to see him returning to his normal self. "Not really, just relaxing." You answer, and he sits down next to you. "Well, mind if I join then?"
   Your heart flutters. "Sure, go right ahead." He picks at a twig on the sand and looks at the water, a strange expression on his face. "Hey Riku," You say, curious. He turns to look at you, his pale green eyes pierce into yours. You take a moment to recollect your thoughts. "Where did you go?"
   He leans his head to one side, seeming to think. "What do you mean?" You turn back to the water, thinking of the best way to word the question. "Well, you left for two years . . ." The two most empty, painful, and boring years of your life. You turn to him. "You had to have gone somewhere amazing if you didn't come back until now."
   He shrugs, still looking over your face. "I didn't go anywhere special." "Alright then," You nod, and stare back at the ocean. "At least," He starts to say, "It wasn't special without you." You look back over at him. "What?"
    He smiles at you. "I think you heard me right." You shake your head. "And I think that I might have actually fallen asleep a few minutes ago." You feel a sharp pain in your arm, and jump. "Ouch!" Riku starts to laugh uncontrollably. "I think you're awake." You stand up, crossing your arms. "Why you . . ." He stands up as well, towering over you. "You what?"
    An evil smile covers your face. "You son of a muffin!" You smack one of his arms, catching him off guard, and then start to run for your life, laughing all the while. "Hey!" He yells, coming after you. "Wait up!" You look back, seeing that he's catching up, fast. "No way!" You yell back, and pick up your speed.
    Suddenly, his arms are wrapped around you, and he forces you to stop running. "I said to wait up," He chuckles into your ear. "You used a spell didn't you?" You say, struggling to escape his arms. "Not fair." He lets you go. "You never said I couldn't," He still smiles.
   You take two dainty steps toward him, and attempt to smack him again. His hand flashes up to catch your arm before it reaches his face. You grunt, annoyed, and then try to smack him with your other hand. Again, his other hand catches it.
    A strange look covers his face, and he starts to close the distance between your faces. "What are you doing?" He stops abruptly. "Nothing . . ." You nod sarcastically. "Sure." You kick one of his legs, causing him to fall over. However, things don't go quite as planned, he carries you down with him.
    You land on top of him, your faces are so close that your noses are pressed against each other's. "Let me go," You say, uncomfortable. He smiles. "No." He lets go of your arms and gently wraps his arms around your waist, keeping you pinned against his body. "Riku," You start to say, desperately trying to hid the flush of red you feel starting to show on your face.
     "Wait just a second," He says, stopping you from finishing your sentence. "I've been wanting to tell you something ever since I got back, and I'm not going to pass up this opportunity." You take a deep breath, closing your eyes so you can think clearly. He lifts his head up to whisper in your ear. "I miss you, and I realized something while I was gone. I love you, a lot."
      Your eyes flash open. "Huh?" He chuckles. "Do I need to repeat it?" You shake your head. "No. But um, if you get to say something like that, I do too." He lets his head back down onto the sand, and says nothing, waiting for your confession. "I missed you too, and, even if I'm not sure, I think I might love you too." He smiles brightly, and quickly closes the almost nonexistent space between your lips.
    You're taken aback by his sudden kiss, but soon you find yourself kissing him back, enjoying his closeness.  He lifts his hands from your waist to the back of your head and neck, pulling you closer. Then a happy, yet annoying tune starts blaring. He groans and gently pulls back, sitting up. You find yourself sitting across his lap as he answers his cell phone. "Not now Sora." He says, and then hangs back up again.
    He smiles at you. "Now, where were we?" You feel a new wave of red start to show on your face as he brings his face closer to yours yet again.
