Kiss Paralysis

Let me have today so you can have tomorrow.

Prologue, Noon's Kindness

A gasp blew out of his mouth like the gusts that came from the hurricane that had hit Destiny Islands only three days ago. The beloved paupu tree was uprooted, leaves torn away and afloat at sea, and the fruits fallen, and missing. The brunette fell to his knees and began reaping whatever fruit was left behind. Kairi placed a hand on the tree and observed the damage it had taken. The constantly nonchalant one looked from a distance, though Kairi and Sora had expressed their lament for this tree, none of them had the attachment to that tree more than Riku, because none of them used to hide there like he did.

"I was so sure that it'd survive the hurricane," Sora almost wailed.

"Me too, I can't believe it's gone," Kairi joined Sora's mourning.

Riku neared the tree slowly and picked up a paupu fruit that Sora didn't manage to gather, "I'm sure we can replant it, you guys shouldn't worry about it."

"You really think it'll grow properly?" the red head asked.

"Of course it will," Riku assured.

"We haven't even been back for a month," whined the key blade master.

Riku picked up a plank of wood and began setting up a pile to place all the debris, "Let's clean this place up."

Sora began to join in, scooping up broken branches, "We'll clean this place up nice and rebuild all our huts, it'll be a million times better than it was before!" he exclaimed.

Kairi laughed and also began to aid the teenage boys, "Yeah, I always wanted to rebuild most of the huts anyways," she remarked optimistically.

A scream sounded from across the island and a dirty blonde boy came scampering towards the party, with two of his own companions following close behind him, "You guys cleaning up? We'll help!"

Selphie immediately ran to Kairi's side, the two girls exchanging their thoughts about the devastation that came to the island. Wakka and Tidus walked over to Riku and Sora and the group managed to lift a large tree off of one of the huts.

"Looks like we got a'lotta work, ya?" Wakka's thick accent always remained unchanging.

"Yep," Sora chirped.

"Well, let's get to it men!" Tidus commanded.

Riku was already moving toward the next fallen tree, "Kairi, Selphie, you both should pick up some of the debris and put it into the pile I started over there," he pointed to a small pile and the girls nodded in unison and began their work.

Hard labor lasted from noon till dusk, small breezes helped to motivate the crew to continue their cleaning. Kairi and Selphie were first to leave, then Wakka and Tidus, leaving Riku and Sora who were both too passionate about their island to leave it until it was cleaned spotless.

Sora was taking a break over by the tiny island, his feet dangling while the waves lapped at his feet.

He munched on a paupu fruit, looking up to see Riku sit beside him, he then swallowed and began peeling at another one, "Y'know what Riku, we never shared one of these."

Riku was about to reach over to grab some of the fruit but Sora had already shoved it near his face, "Thanks," Riku grabbed it from Sora's hand and ate the fruit, thus entwining their destiny like the folk tale said.

"There, we'll be together forever," Sora grinned with a mouth full of paupu.

Riku smiled a little, nodding, "We'd be together even if we didn't eat this fruit."

Sora blinked and thought for it for a brief while, "You're right."

Riku glanced over to his best friend, "Sora, about—"

"Riku, don't worry about it, we've been through everything now, there's no need for apologies, that just proves our bond is stronger now," Sora said sympathetically, his gazed focusing softly upon Riku.

Riku placed his thumb on Sora's bottom lip, keeping his stare in Sora's eyes, he wiped away some of the paupu "It's hard to take you seriously with a piece of paupu fruit hanging from your lips."

Sora blushed and used the back of his hand to remove whatever fruit remained, "Thanks."

Riku only replied with silence.

Used to this Sora stared in the same direction as Riku, upwards, no longer towards the sea, searching of some ship that would come to save them from their boring existence on Destiny Islands, but searching the stars, looking for the one shooting star that'd grant his wish.

A/N: Alright, this is my first Kingdom Hearts fanfic, to be honest when I first stumbled upon the wonderful I always only read Kingdom Hearts fics, and I never took the time to write one, but now here it is. I won't be motivated to write for it if no one reviews because I don't like knowing I'm writing for nothing, it's just a waste of time. I'd also like to take the time to warn readers that this is indeed a yaoi, ratings may change in the future depending on the kind of content I want to put in this fic. If you have a problem with yaoi I have a crazy and insane suggestion, don't read this fic anymore. If there is any typo's please excuse them, it's three in the morning, gimme a break.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, wish I did, I'd give a leg up for Kingdom Hearts, not really.
