Here we are again, folks. Happy 'Single's Awareness Day'. I thought you might all like a fun treat. This is the sequel to 'Impostor', which is set directly after the ending of KH3D. If you haven't played it, then be warned - there are spoilers in this story. That being said, I'm going to set this after the events of the ending, but not the secret ending. I don't want any ladies in this story, as this is going to be strictly yaoi. I have no idea how long this will be, so let's all enjoy the ride together. :D Squeenix owns the characters, the tale is my own. Let's get into this, shall we?

...

Turning over in his bed, the silver haired Keyblade master was met with a mess of brown spikes tickling the tip of his nose. Riku looked down and saw that Sora was fast asleep, his body casually draped over his own. At some point during the night, it seemed as if the sleeping Sora had found his way into his own bed, Riku none the wiser until the tuft of spikes had started to make his nose itch.

It had been a very long evening, starting with the discovery of the Nobody that was now no longer a Nobody. The person he had been thinking about every single day since the last time they had parted, which seemed so long ago. So many things had changed, so many different battles had been fought. And now, the redhead was back in his life, only this time as an ally, it would seem. Riku rolled over on the bed, the thoughts of Axel, no, he's not Axel anymore, beginning to plague his mind.

"Mmm...Riku..." Sora's sleepy voice murmured softly. "Where are you going...?" His arms tightened around Riku's middle, trapping him from moving any further.

Looking down at the brunette spikes, Riku focused on his hair. "Nowhere. I was just turning over to try and get some more sleep."

"Do you not want to cuddle with me?" Sora asked. Riku detected the sadness right away, and instantly regretted what he had just said. "You haven't really touched me since I got back here."

The silver-haired teen knew that what the brunette had said was true. He hadn't felt like touching him, not since everything had been moving so fast. One minute, he was trying to rescue him, then the next moment, the redhead had come in and saved his friend. The one person he never dreamed of being there for him in his darkest moment. And now, the redhead was probably sleeping in a room a few doors away. Or maybe he had gone back to Radiant Garden, to check on the other Nobodies, no, they're all human now. There was a small part of him that hoped the redhead wasn't there, because he didn't want him to accidentally hear whatever he and Sora were going to do. But he couldn't tell the brunette that, as he had never told the brunette about the past he shared with Axel, those few months that he was sleeping peacefully, trying to regain the memories that the witch Namine had taken away from him.

"Riku, are you listening to me?" Sora asked, straddling the keyblade master's waist. Riku blinked a few times, surprised to see his friend on top of him in that manner. The two of them had never set any boundaries between one another, and had always just gone with what felt right, what felt normal. Everything had changed between them after they had defeated Xemnas, and were stuck in the Realm of Darkness.

The two had sat on the shore of the beach, in the Realm of Darkness, staring off at the endless night sky. "Do you think they'll come and find us?" Sora asked, turning to look at him.

"Hard to say," Riku shrugged his shoulders. He didn't mind if no one had found them, as he felt at peace being back in the Darkness. He had been there for so long, that it had felt like he was back home. The tide began to rise faster, heading towards them. He tried to stand up, but fumbled, still very weak after their fight with the head of the Organization. The man who had no idea that he was the one that had been the Impostor, so very long ago.

"Riku!" Sora grabbed him by the waist, the silver-haired teen's body immediately reacting to the nearness of him. He breathed deeply, trying to calm his heart as he felt his friend walk him away from the water. Sora set him down on the sand, and cupped his face gently. "Riku, are you okay?" He spoke quietly. "That fight took a lot out of you, didn't it?"

Not wanting to admit that he was weak, Riku closed his eyes, hiding away from the bright blue eyes of his friend. "I'm just tired, that's all. Going to all lengths to make sure you were safe."

Riku's eyes flew open as Sora's lips touched his own, the kiss taking him by surprise. It didn't feel like the other lips he had kissed; there wasn't that burning fire he had felt with the Nobody. But it was a kiss, and it was something he had dreamed of doing with the brunette, and now, here he was, his mouth open like a fish out of water, shocked by what was happening. Sora pulled back from the kiss, and looked into his eyes.

"I'm sorry," Sora spoke with a soft tone. "I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry, Riku. I just...I just wanted you to know how much I care about you, and what it meant to me that you did what you did to yourself because of me. I...I never wanted you to go back into that dark place, but you did it for me, and it saved me. It saved us all."

Blinking a few times, the silverette shook his head. "No, please - don't be sorry, Sora. I...I just wasn't expecting you to do that. I didn't...I didn't know that's how you felt about me. I always thought..."

"Thought what?" Sora sat between his legs, looking up at him. "Thought that I liked Kairi?" He reached up and cupped Riku's face with his right hand. "Riku, I looked everywhere for you. After I knew she was safe, you...you were the only one I cared about finding. I've always loved you, Riku. It's always been you."

Riku looked into Sora's blue eyes, really seeing them for the first time, instead of wishing to see an emerald color there. He knew that the Nobody was gone, as he had seen Axel's space in the Proof of Existence, in the Castle That Never Was, and saw that it was the same as the other dead Nobodies. Staring back into the bright blue eyes, Riku felt himself being drawn into Sora's embrace, allowing the brunette to lead, as he was never a leader himself.

"Earth to Riku!" Sora waved a hand in front of his face, snapping the silverette out of his trance. His cheeks began to burn with mortification, having been caught not really paying attention to what the brunette had been saying. "Riku, are you sure you're feeling okay?"

He gently laid Sora back on the bed, resting his head on his shoulder. "I'm fine, Sora. I'm sorry, I'm just preoccupied at the moment."

"Perhaps I could take whatever is on your mind away?" Sora's hand slid up his bare chest, as he tended to only wear boxers to sleep. His soft hand made Riku's skin break out into goosebumps, the light touch stimulating his nerve endings.

Closing his eyes, Riku rolled onto his back, this time guided by the brunette's hand. "Sora, we shouldn't..."

"Why not?" The younger's voice was inquisitive. "Do you think Master Yen Sid cares, or can even hear us? Riku, I've wanted to be with you since you woke up, but I couldn't kiss you properly in front of the others."

Others. Right. What is going on in my head right now? The silverette turned his head and gave a small nod, looking down at Sora's face. "Then, what are you waiting for?" He was reserved in his question, as there was still some doubt in his mind, but he knew that the minute Sora began to scatter kisses on his lower abdomen, he was lost in the feeling.

Riku grabbed the pillow he had been resting on, and covered his face with it, groaning low into the soft fabric of his pillowcase. He felt Sora's hands around his waist, and lifted up his hips as the brunette pulled his boxers off of his body. The feel of Sora's tongue against his cock made Riku sit up, his stomach dropping to his feet as his libido spiked from the wet touch. He looked down at the brunette and groaned, watching his tongue start at the base of his cock, his hips moving forward to get Sora to move up to the tip.

"I got this," Sora said, his tongue stopping before it reached the crown, a little frustration making its way out of Riku through a deep exhale. "Lay back down, Riku."

Knowing that it would do no good to argue with the brunette, Riku laid back down and placed the pillow back over his head. Sora's tongue resumed its gentle laps on the underside of arousal, still staying away from the tip. The teasing was torturous, the silverette keeping the pillow firmly planted against his face, groaning as he finally found relief as the tip of Sora's tongue pressed against the small opening on the crown.

"Riku, take the pillow off your face..." Sora's request came through muffled, as Riku was pressing the pillow so tight against his face. When the feeling of his tongue on his skin stopped, Riku lifted the pillow up, to see what was going on. "That's better." Sora resumed lapping at the head of his cock, as a low moan left Riku's open mouth, reverberating through the quiet room. "Much better..." Sora wrapped his lips around the tip, and swallowed Riku's cock all the way down his throat.

"Sora!" Riku moaned, leaning his head back as his legs spread wide. He gripped the bed tightly with his good hand, not wanting to aggravate his left wrist by pulling too hard on the sheets. A sharp cry left his lips as Sora's finger began to tease his entrance, the soft pad of his finger moving in small circles around the tight hole.

As he felt the brunette's finger slip into his body, he tried to spread his legs more, wanting to feel more of that agile finger inside of his body. As Sora's mouth moved up and down his length, the brunette added a second finger, only pausing when Riku let out a harsh gasp. The silverette wasn't used to being stretched like this, as they hadn't done anything since before the test. Slowly, his body began to relax as the brunette scissored his fingers gently, his lips traveling up to the tip and sucking gently on the crown.

Riku moaned louder as Sora's finger teased his sweet spot, his stomach twisting. The brunette lifted his head, Riku's cock slipping out of his mouth with a soft whine. "I can't wait any longer, Riku. Do you think you're ready...?" Sora scissored his fingers once more, stretching them as far as he could. Riku cried out and gave a sharp nod of his head, wanting to just feel something other than those fingers inside of him.

The bed shifted a little as Sora began to take off his own boxers and shirt, and sat on his knees between Riku's legs. Sitting up, Riku leaned over and began licking Sora's cock, knowing that the brunette enjoyed being prepped in this manner, as it had become a ritual when the two of them had gone at it in the Realm of Darkness. He felt Sora's hands on the back of his head, a slight fear racing through his brain as Riku realized he was trapped, but then relaxed when he knew it was just the brunette's way of showing him he was enjoying what was being done to his body. Sora's cock was different from the other one he had experience with, it was nowhere near the same size, but in relation to the brunette's body, it was perfect. Once he coated Sora's length with enough saliva, he pulled his head back, the tension in Sora's hand disappearing as he settled back down on the bed.

Sora placed himself at Riku's entrance, and thrusted forward awkwardly, both still not used to each other's bodies. Grabbing the pillow once more, Riku pulled it over his face, groaning as he felt Sora slip further into his body, the pillow muffling the sound once more. He felt Sora's chest against his, the lean pectoral muscles rubbed against his more meatier ones, as they began to find their rhythm together. Riku felt the pillow move away, and soon was moaning low into Sora's mouth, as their lips clashed together in a frantic kiss. He bucked his hips against the brunette's, moaning louder as Sora began to thrust against his sweet spot. As their bodies rubbed together, Riku felt his lower stomach begin to tighten once more, letting him know he was close. As their bodies slapped together, the bed creaked loudly with each movement of their bodies. Riku gripped Sora's hip with his right hand, forcing the brunette to move at the pace he wanted, needed, to reach his final completion. Tossing his head back, Riku began to come, his eyes tightly closed as he rode out his orgasm, moaning low as he felt Sora release moments after him.

Panting, Sora fumbled over him, slipping out of him quicker than Riku would have liked. The silverette reached over, and grabbed his boxers, quickly slipping them on before a mess was made on the bed. Grabbing the brunette's boxers, he began to wipe off anything that was left on Sora's cock, enjoying the soft moans the brunette was making for him as his hand moved agiley over the sensitive organ.

"Riku..." Sora looked up at him with half-lidded eyes. "What...what are you doing...?"

"What does it look like?" Riku asked, a small smirk on his face. "You don't want to be all sticky when you wake up, do you?" He leaned over, and began to lick at the mess on Sora's lower belly, Riku's body shivering as he tasted himself.

"Riku, stop!" Sora pushed his shoulder, making him move away from his body. Tilting his head, not sure what he did wrong, Riku looked up at his friend. "Don't do that," a blush appeared on Sora's cheekbones. "That's gross."

Sitting up, Riku shook his head. "Sora, why is it gross? I don't think it is."

"I wouldn't do that to you," the brunette replied, hiding his face in embarrassment. "Why would you do it to me?"

The silverette shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know? It seemed like the right thing to do. I'm sorry, I won't do it again." He didn't want the brunette to know that that's what he had always done, as the brunette was not privy to what had gone on in his life while Sora had been sleeping. There had never been an opportune time to say anything, and the silverette didn't feel the need to divulge anything that didn't matter at the time.

"Thank you," Sora grabbed the blanket and pulled it up towards him. "Are you going to come lay by me...?" He looked over at the pillow next to his head.

"Is that a command?" Riku laid next to him on his bed, turning onto his side to face Sora.

"Maybe," Sora grinned, settling himself against Riku's chest. The silverette wrapped his arm around him and held him close. "Mmm...much better!"

"You're such a goofball," Riku murmured, the return of the soft spikes against his nose made his eyes water. "And your hair is unruly."

"You should talk!" Sora looked up at him, the grin still firmly in place. "I mean, sorry I didn't cut it all emo like you, but I happen to like my hair this way!"

Chuckling, Riku shook his head. "Would you get some sleep? I'm sure that tomorrow is going to be a busy day. Who knows what Master Yen Sid is going to have us do."

"Mm..okay, Riku. Sweet dreams." Sora lowered his head back to the silverette's chest, and within seconds was snoring.

Riku closed his eyes, and listened to the gentle sounds of Sora sleeping. But sleep evaded him, as his mind kept replaying the events that had happened in the Nobodies castle, and then what had happened when he had returned from waking up the brunette from the sleep he had been in. His thoughts were a jumble, not focusing on any particular event, but all of them at the same time. Him. Why...why is he back? As he heard Sora's snores become more pronounced, he gently disentangled himself from his body, knowing that nothing would wake up the sleeping teen.

Wandering into the en suite bathroom, Riku turned on the shower. He checked the bedroom, to make sure the noise of the water hadn't woken up the brunette, and could heard his dulcet snores echoing through the room. Satisfied that he was still asleep, he hopped into the shower. After meticulously cleaning himself up, he exited the shower, feeling cleaner than he had in a long time. Grabbing a towel, he dried off his hair, then tied it around his waist, careful not to drip on the tiled floor.

He walked back into the bathroom, and heard Sora still snoring, the brunette now sprawled across both mattresses. Shaking his head, he grabbed a pair of clean boxers, some pajama pants, a white undershirt, and his wristguard. He let the towel drop as he got dressed, not bothering with socks, as he wasn't planning on going that far. He just wanted to get out of the room, wanted to not feel so trapped by his thoughts. Leaning down, he placed a soft kiss on Sora's cheek, the brunette mumbling something about Meow Wow, and how he wasn't supposed to do that. Riku headed out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Heading down the spiral staircase, Riku tiptoed quietly, not sure if there was anyone else awake in the tower. He pushed the large wooden door open, and stepped outside, looking out at night sky, staring off at the green hills that surrounded the tower. Debating if he should walk away from the tower, or sit down on the steps, Riku plopped himself down on the top step, focusing his attention on the night sky.

"Can't sleep?"

Riku's heart constricted at the sound of that voice. He looked around and saw the lanky redhead standing near a shrub, dressed in similar attire. Inhaling inaudibly, Riku tried to calm his racing heart. "Not really. Got a lot of my mind." He figured it would be easier to be casual, when his body was screaming to jump up and throw himself at the redhead's body.

"I know what you mean." Lea walked over to where he was, stopping directly in front of him. "Do you want to go somewhere and talk?" He held his hand out to Riku, offering it to him in a silent gesture.

"Where would we go? Can you travel by Darkness still?" Riku asked, taking the offered hand. As soon as their palms touched, he felt his body grow hot, his knees growing weak.

Smirking, the redhead opened a portal. "Worried that I might slip without my cloak?"

"If I said yes, would you make fun of me?" Riku kept holding his hand. "I'd feel a bit safer if we got our cloaks."

"Fine, fine." Lea said, closing the portal. "Meet me back down here in five minutes?"

Riku nodded, and headed back into the tower, not wanting to know what area the redhead was staying in, as it was none of his business. He headed back into the bedroom he was sharing with Sora, and saw that the brunette was still snoring, and still taking up both sides of their bed. Grabbing the black garment from his wardrobe, he slipped it on, the comfort of the fabric surprisingly comforting. Tiptoeing back out, he headed back down the spiral staircase. Once he was back outside, he saw the redhead standing there, waiting for him.

"I was afraid you got lost," Lea's ever present smirk was on his face.

Stepping towards him, Riku shrugged his shoulders. "I know my way through this tower pretty well." He regarded the redhead with trepidation. "Where are we going?"

"Some place where we can't be bothered. Because I'm pretty sure you've got a lot of questions, as do I." Lea touched the silverette's left wrist, the gentle touch sending a shock through Riku's body. "So, what do you say?"

Lifting his hand, Riku opened an obsidian portal. "Does that answer your question?"

"Excellent." Lea walked over to the portal and stepped through, leaving Riku alone.

Riku looked up at the tower, gazing up at the window where he knew his best friend was sleeping peacefully. "I'll be back before you wake up, Sora." His heart began to pound as he stepped through the portal, both excited and nervous, more than he cared to admit. He stepped out of the portal, appearing in the center of the third district in Traverse Town. He saw the redhead standing there with his arms crossed, waiting for him to show up.

"So..." Lea drawled, looking around.

"Axel...I mean, Lea..." Riku shook his head. "I..."

"Let's just get this out of the way, shall we?" Lea took a few steps towards him, and soon Riku found himself trapped against the wall, with nowhere to go. He stared up into those emerald eyes, his breath being taken away from what he saw there. With no markings on his face, Riku found his eyes more striking. As he was about to say so, the redhead pressed his forehead against his. "Don't be mad at me."

Their lips met in a soft kiss, Riku melting against the wall as he parted his lips for the redhead. He groaned as Lea's tongue touched his own, the kiss just what the silverette desired. He reached up, grabbing onto the lapels of Lea's cloak, and pulled him closer to his body, not wanting the kiss the end. But, the need for air became overpowering, and the silverette broke off the kiss with a soft pant.

Lea kept his forehead pressed against Riku's, his breath ghosting over Riku's swollen lips. "Fuck..." Riku's lips found his for one more quick kiss, before panting softly. "Thank you for not pushing me away. I didn't know how you'd react to that."

"Is it going to happen again?" Riku asked, pulling back to look into Lea's eyes.

"Do you want it to?"

Closing his eyes, Riku gave a small nod of his head. "But, we need to talk. This...you...you aren't supposed to be here."

"No kidding," Lea's smirk returned. "Fine, come on. Let's get this talking out of the way." He took Riku's hand, and led him towards the first district, Riku's heart pounding loudly in his chest. His body moved at its own accord, as he sat down at the table, looking across at the redhead. "So, first question?"

"How in the world are you here now?"

"Yeah, that's what I thought your first question was going to be." Lea said, leaning back in his chair. "It's a long story."

"And we've got only a limited amount of time, so..."

"Afraid your lover is going to wake up before we get back?" Lea's eyes sparkled with mischief.

Blushing, Riku looked away. "Answer my question first, and then I'll answer yours."

"You got it."

…
