[hopes]

kiss kiss fall in love 💋

1. first kiss 💘 the classic. maybe you've wanted to kiss them since you first met, or maybe you're just now realizing how you feel toward them. either way, the time is finally right... 2. mistletoe 💘 it's the most wonderful time of the year, and what better way to spend it than under that one holiday plant with someone special? the mistletoe can be either normal or the wacky "you're stuck together until you kiss" variety, whichever you feel at the time. 3. new years 💘 another favorite tradition. there's something magical about ringing in the new year with a kiss, whether you're in the crowd watching the festivities, out for a late night dinner, or curled up together at home. maybe you could come up with some resolutions together, too. 4. spin the bottle 💘 a party game that everyone knows, even if they've never played it before. it was all fun and games until your turn to spin ended with it pointing at them. if you guys are dating, it's a lot less awkward. if not... well, the bottle has spoken. 5. in the rain 💘 a light rain starts to fall during the middle of whatever you two were out doing. maybe there's something about the droplets in their hair that sets something aflutter within you... or maybe you just really liked that one scene from the first spider-man movie. an umbrella is optional. 6. just friends 💘 you don't always need to be in a relationship to kiss someone! if you're the physically affectionate type, maybe a friendly kiss is just your way of showing you care about someone. 7. seven minutes in heaven 💘 the premise: you and your partner have been stuck into a closet, whether by your friends during a party or by some unseen magical force. the condition: the door's not supposed to open unless you kiss for at least seven minutes. what do you do? 8. farewell 💘 sometimes things must come to an end; sometimes they were never meant to be. whether one of you is moving, things didn't work out, or...well, something more tragic, there's a very real possibility that you won't get to see them in a while... or ever again. try and make it count. 9. wildcard 💘 got something in mind that doesn't quite fit one of the above prompts? totally fine! just toss something up and i'll be more than happy to play whatever smooches you want ♥ ( characters )

You mean...

[it admittedly takes Sora a little bit to process Riku's reply. he's so used to thinking that the relationship chain ends at the best friend level, but... of course there's something beyond that. he'd even thought about it himself earlier, however fleeting the notion had been as he damn near screamed Riku's name in ecstasy no more than a handful of minutes ago. he quickly considers everything again. pats on the back and hugs are to friendship as kisses and sex are to...

it's almost like the cogs in his head can be seen slowly turning as he opens his mouth to speak again, his tone thoughtful and surprisingly careful.]

We could be—[and here, he briefly stops again, because even if the concept itself is wholly new to the both of them, what else could Riku be implying other than]—boyfriends?

[HE SAID IT. STOP THE PRESSES, HE SAID IT!!]

[deepdive]

Yeah.

[ they've addressed it and the world didn't end. this is an actual conversation that happening, and while it will definitely change the dynamics of their friendship... it won't change the actual friendship. riku, admittedly, had doubts that this might work. but now that they are having the actual talk, he knows he was being paranoid.

if anyone can make it work, it's the two of them. ]

Do you want to be? My boyfriend. I'd probably be terrible at it, but... We can give it a try.

[friendships]

["my boyfriend." Sora tries the phrase out in his head a few times, noticing how the words send a wave of warmth throughout his body. he doesn't even need to think twice or deliberate on it any longer; the confusion vanishes and in its place is his usual grin, somehow far wider and brighter than it's ever been before.]

I can't think of a better boyfriend than you.

[and, before Riku can react, Sora embraces his impulsive nature and sits up to kiss him again. this time, it's devoid of hunger, of lust like the sloppy makeouts they'd shared before. the only feelings present now are those of fondness, of adoration, of love, which he's pretty sure this moment qualifies for.]

[deepdive]

[ riku abandons whatever he was about to say in response to sora's words and just kisses back. that had gone a lot easier than riku expected, although... he isn't sure why he assumed this would be hard. sora always makes things easy, from forgiving riku for literally attempting to murder him to this.

hm, maybe he should not think about the attempted murder bit while kissing his new boyfriend.

after a few minutes, riku backs away so he can continue speaking. ]

How are we going to tell people?

[friendships]

[look we don't talk about that stuff okay. just focus on the smooching dammit.

Sora breathes a sigh of contentment when Riku pulls back out of the kiss, still trying to wrap his head around the fact that he now has a boyfriend, and that it's Riku. his brow creases a little, though, when his new significant other asks the question. he doesn't exactly see anything particularly pressing or wrong with the situation...]

We just do? Is there supposed to be something special you do to tell people you're... dating someone?

[deepdive]

[ god. sora. pls.

there are a lot of things that may be major to a lot of people? the whole coming out process, for once, which riku doubts sora has even factored as a major thing because sora has probably never even thought about that.

if anything, sora's obliviousness to these things will probably make this whole situation a lot easier to get through. ]

I guess you're right. Like always, unfortunately.

[friendships]

[there are many, many things Sora misses out on due to his natural naivety. he honestly isn't even thinking about other people's reactions, because if people were really his friends who genuinely cared about him, they'd be happy for him and Riku, wouldn't they? that's how that's supposed to go, because he lives a simple life.

at Riku's response, he puffs his cheeks out a little in jest (though also actually meaning it a little).]

What do you mean, "unfortunately"?

[deepdive]

Unfortunately.

[ he does not expand. one day, riku would like to be right about things again. sometimes it gets slightly tiring having sora make all the big revelations, okay. when will it be riku's turn to do that?? ]

We'll just wing it then. We have to tell Kairi first though.

[friendships]

[wow ok Riku be that way. Sora will be equally mature and stick his tongue out before sobering up again. speaking of the third member of their trio...]

What do you think she's gonna say? She was so excited to shove us in that closet earlier...

[deepdive]

I don't know. I don't think she'd mind. She'd probably be excited for us, but...

[ honestly it seems kind of weird to be leaving kairi out on something. again. riku already feels bad about leaving her back on the island while the two of them go off on adventures, and this kind of feels like the same thing except instead of fighting nobodies there will probably be blowjobs. ]

What do you think?

[friendships]

I want to think she'd be happy, too.

[he looks up at the ceiling, his mind wandering to the same place that Riku's did. at the very least, she'll be coming with them wherever they end up going next, and she's been showing pretty good progress during her own training sessions... but also, feelings.

hm. this relationship thing sure is a lot more complicated than Sora initially took it for. he just wanted to kiss Riku a lot without having to dance on their tiptoes all the time.]

Maybe we're worrying too much about this, too? I mean, we won't know until we do it.

[this night being a prime example of that... but Sora won't say that out loud. he's had enough slips of the tongue for one day.]

[deepdive]

That's true. And we've only been dating for like... less than five minutes.

[ he doesn't count the intense make out session as dating because they weren't officially boyfriends then. ]

I'm sure we'll have a lot of time to figure out all these details.

[friendships]

[Sora doesn't respond verbally to those last few comments, instead just nodding in agreement. it's just like Riku says; they don't need to rush and figure out everything right here and now. as famous as he is for jumping into things headfirst, they can take these things one step at a time.

he actually almost drifts off before his eyes fly back open as he realizes something.]

Uh, should we go take a shower now?

[because he has no idea how long they've just been lying here and having this heartfelt conversation while still being covered in. y'know. stuff.]

[deepdive]

[ riku sits up when sora says that since. yeah. especially since, again, he has no idea when his parents are coming home so they should do the clean up as quickly as possible or else sora is never going to be allowed in this house ever again. ]

Yeah. Go grab a spare towel, it's in the hallway closet.

[friendships]

On it.

[Sora leaps off the bed without any further hesitation, hustling his way over to the closet... before quickly doubling back and picking up his boxers and pants. making sure those get put on first are the priority; he'll worry about his tops later, because the lack of those would be a lot easier to explain than the other way around. while he's bent over to gather his clothes, he glances up at Riku.]

Do you wanna go first?

[deepdive]

We'll go together.

[ he says it casually, without hesitation, like it's the most natural thing in the world. and it is, for them, no matter what the context.

he puts on his pants and starts to head to the door. his towel is already in the bathroom. ]

Let's go.

[friendships]

[Sora doesn't even bother putting his pants back on because what's even the point when they're just gonna get undressed again anyway?? his dick can flop around for a little longer.

but now, it's Sora's turn to be surprised by Riku's nonchalant reply. he blinks a couple of times before he laughs, half in disbelief because he doesn't know why he didn't see that coming, half in actual amusement because Riku has no right getting on him for being corny.]

Why did I even ask?

[to the bathroom they go.]

[deepdive]

[ um riku isn't corny he's smooth.

once inside the bathroom, he immediately locks the door and yanks his pants off. he gestures at the shower. ]

It's been a while since you've used this.

[friendships]

[again with the locking. Sora drops his clothes onto the floor, waiting for Riku to turn on the water. he briefly leans against the wall, but quickly jumps forward again; he didn't expect the tile to be so cold against his bare skin. at least Riku brings up a topic he can focus on to forget any potential embarrassment.]

Not since, what, like ten years ago? It might've been before Kairi even showed up.

[deepdive]

Funny how you can forget about things like that.

[ he turns the water on and waits a moment for it to heat up. he sticks his hand in, testing the temperature, and once he's satisfied he waves sora over. ]

It's probably not as room as it was when you were a kid.

[friendships]

[he makes his way over to the shower when called, glancing briefly at Riku before just going ahead and stepping in. he figures he shouldn't wait since he's the one with most reason to wash up...]

You sure we can both fit? Someone's done a lot of growing lately.

[deepdive]

[ riku's eyes glance down sora's body before looking back up. ]

Yeah. Someone definitely has.

[ and with that, he gets into the shower right behind sora, pulling the curtain closed. ]

[friendships]

[...Sora's not sure if it's the temperature of the water or the way Riku looks at him that makes him start to feel really hot. his light blushing at their close proximity in such cramped quarters means nothing, he swears. as he reaches for the soap, he sheepishly mutters,]

Geez, it's like we're in the closet all over again.

[deepdive]

[ there is a joke in there somewhere.

there are a few key differences between the closet and this, though, the most obvious thing being the lack of clothing. so while it is like the closet, it's also very much not. ]

Make sure you actually wash yourself properly. You used to just jump into the water then jump out immediately when you were a kid.

[friendships]

[Sora groans, playfully shoving Riku a little before he starts lathering. and y'know. not thinking about how hot Riku looks as the water hits him. not at all.]

Riku, I know how to take a shower.
