Title: Secret Place

Characters: Sora, Riku, Kairi

Warnings: Dumb. :3

Sora's gasping breaths echoed against the walls of the small, hidden cavern. Beads of sweat began to gather on the top of his forehead. With each shudder of his body the beads would break free from his moist skin and trace down his face.

"Ugh… uuugh…." He moaned between pants. His body was trembling from exertion. He closed his eyes tightly, blocking out the darkness of the cave and focused on keeping a steady rhythm. Riku's voice mingled with his own in the relative silence as the older boy added his own occasional groan to the symphony of strain that reverberated against the bare, low stone ceiling of their secret place.

"I… I can't hold out much longer…" Sora managed to mumble between pathetic pants.

"Just a little more…" Riku said in a strained, faint voice.

Suddenly a large beam of light broke through the darkness of the cave as someone pushed the bush away from the entrance.

"What are you two doing in there?" Kairi's voice inquired. Her feet crunched against a few loose stones on the ground as she neared.

Sora moaned, both from exhaustion and embarrassment. He flopped down on his back against the hard, cool stone floor.

"Ah ha!" Riku's excited voice jumped from one corner of the cave to the next. "I beat you. 408…" He grunted loudly, "409," then he flopped to the ground as well, "410! You lose!"

"What are you boneheads doing?" Kairi was now standing over them with her hands on her hips, both eyebrows high upon her forehead in inquiry.

"Curl-ups! And I won!" Riku exclaimed triumphantly. He pulled himself up to a stand, bounced on his toes, then pointed down at Sora. "You sweep the tree house for a month! Woo-hoo!"

Sora whined.

Kairi rolled her eyes.
