Okay so finally I updated this one. I'm extremely sorry for taking like a million years with it. Since I moved to UNT I moved compys and lost a lot of infos so this draft was lost among the damned files. I have revived it (sorta) from eternal damnation. Anyway many apologies. Happy holidays guys. So without further ado I give you a chappie!

So it's come to this

Part XVIII

Forgiving to a Happy end?

Cloud sat in the tavern across from Sora watching the light dance across the wooden table and rest on Sora's boyish face. Cloud noted that as much as Sora had changed in the past years, he had very much stayed the same. He watched as the key master toyed with the moogle candle in the middle of the table. He was figeting constantly, just like he used to, while waiting for the other two members of their little horny circle so to speak.The blonde thumped his clawed hand against the wood making a droning rhythm. Both messy-haired men were tired of waiting for their counterparts. The young keeper was sighing noisily vocalizing his impatience to see his jade eyed lover.

After a time, the pair appeared, the silver-haired male dragging the taller brunette behind him. Sora's eyes brightened when he saw Riku. The blonde however scrunched into the seat as if he was try to hide from Leon's scrutinizing gaze behind the moogle candle. Leon's eyes narrowed as he stopped about three feet from the table. Sora quickly stood and latched on to his lover quite happily and kissed the corner of the silver's mouth. Leon looked longingly at the pair then silently took a seat across from Cloud.



"Hey..." he finally said after several awkward moments of stifling silence only interrupted by the brief crackling of the moogle candle. "I...." The lion frowned as he lacked words to converse with the equally quiet sword fighter.

"Look Leon, I'm sorry that I took advantage of you. I never really meant to cause any more pain." Cloud sighed as he straightened up and moved the magical candle. He sighed apologetically as he tapped his clawed hand. "I can't explain what it is that I feel for you, but it's something more than normal. That's all that can be said."

Leon frowned harshly pondering, but seemed to accept that answer. "Just because I accept your apology doesn't mean I'm forgiving you yet." A small smirk crossed his face. " You deffinately aren't allowed in my bed for a while, unless I say so."

Cloud offered a small smile from behind his crimson cape and sighed in relief. From afar Sora smiled at the two warriors. "Riku I think it worked." The key bearer jumped up and down like a little kid. Despite his darkened appearance, Riku could tell that his Sora had regained that beautiful light that had saved him. "Riku, do you see? Do ya? Do ya?"

Riku gave a small smile to his lover and pulled him away from the two soldiers. "I think we owe it to ourselves to have a little quality alone time."

"But Riku," He whined, "I'm hungry!" Sora crossed his arms over his chest and gave a child-like pout as only he could give, even if he was all grown up.

"I'm sure Storm cloud over there has food in his place." Riku led his love away.

Riku knew that Leon was completely floored by Cloud, but he just refused to show it. An annoying little thing called pride seemed to get in the way. He wondered absently though, how long the former commander could hold out with the object of his lust sitting right in front of him. Enough thought on that though. Riku turned his attentions back to the crystal eyed boy in front of him.

"You know Sora, with all the drama going around I thought you'd forget that today was your birthday." Riku stepped through the doorway and into the kitchen.

Sora stopped, his eyes wide in shock at the little spread on Leon's table. The normally boring wood table was decorated with a simple green table cloth with two soft blue candles in the center around a small chocolate cake that said 'Happy Birthday So~ra' on it. Sparkling tears threatened to fall from Sora's bright tourmaline depths as he turned to his darker half and hugged him for all he was worth. Riku hugged the keeper back while softly nuzzling the cinnamon-sable locks atop his love's head.

After a few quietly shared moments they sat at the table and feasted on the small chocolate delicacy. "Riku, I thought the candles were supposed to go on the cake, not beside it." He turned after swallowing his piece. "And where did you get it?"

"I asked your little green eyed friend to make it for you. She was most willing to."

Sora stood and walked toward his silver haired lover and kissed the soft lips mingling the taste of chocolate with their mouths. The platinum-haired boy quickly responded to the other's ministrations and pulled him tightly to his body and down into his lap. Riku stood pulling the smaller male up to his chest and started toward the darkened bedroom which they shared.

"Sora, I know that it might not be much, but I want to give you something." Riku sat his rival on the bed. "Neither of us is pure for each other. We've both had our times, but Sora, I want to give myself to you." He sighed. "I never 'gave' my body to anyone, but I've always wanted to give you everything."

"Riku, I don't feel deserving of that." Sora looked deep into the eyes of his lover. "I am truly touched that you would give me something like that." Sora smiled at Riku.

The sable-haired boy hugged the other pulling him close and inhaling his scent. Light shined in his sapphire pools as he grinned in an almost child-like manner against his love's cheek. Riku turned his head to coax Sora's lips to his own. The darker-hair one obliged the request with a passionate kiss. Riku felt light-headed as the key bearer kissed him breathless. His lips parted allowing an eager tongue to swipe across his own in a teasing dance. When the keeper could bear the lack of oxygen no more he parted from his companion's lips to draw a quick breath before attacking the expanse of ivory flesh of Riku's neck. His teasing progressed to a more heated manner until the platinum haired man was writhing and gasping in bliss. Jade eyes were closed in a slight squint as he took in all the sensations of his light. A hiss of pleasure escaped his mouth as he felt a cool hand work its way down his body and beneath the layer of clothing covering his nether regions. Fingers caressed him lightly make him alive with lust. His body ached for that warm touch that caused pinpricks of wanton desire to spread through him. Deftly, Riku could feel his own hands working the clothes from his body to allow Sora access to his being.

He felt the long slender fingers of his love probing at his entrance in a teasing manner. They circled around it, but never quite penetrated the tightened muscle. Sora's fingers suddenly let up and Riku mumured in slight disapproval, but watched as the key bearer relieved himself of his currently too restrictive clothing. Sora reached over Riku and applied a fair amount of massage oil to his fingers before returning to his task of preparation. Riku clenched his teeth expecting the sting of pain as the anxious appendages slid into his body and curled around to allow more space for the next act. Sora withdrew his hand briefly to coat his memeber in the cool oil so as not to hurt his lover. He paused to gaze into his lover's teal eyes darkened with lust. In a soundless moment their bodies were joined. Riku's back arched at an almost painful angle as he strived to keep his love deep within him. Sora slid back a bit before plunging back into the hot inviting depths of his love. He repeated this same process over and over again repeatedly reminding Riku's body, if it even needed such, of the claim he had over him. His body raced toward that mind blowing summit and finally teetered off in the most deliciously violent climax. As his body continued to thrum in the after shock of his euphoria, he brought a shaking hand to his love's body to bring him into and equal state of ecstasy.

The pair lay wordlessly beside eachother basking in the faint afterglow of their lovemaking. Deep tourmaline peered in to soft oceanic orbs. Nothing needed to be said. Sora had regained his light and felt a piece of him return. Riku felt completed and no longer empty. Sure there were more problems down the road, but each knew that they now had eachother and would never feel or be alone again. Briefly they wondered about their stormy eyed-landlord, but they knew that things would work out.

"Stop standing there lik a dolt and come here."

"I thought I wasn't allowed in your bed."

"Shut up you."
