“ Riku , are we getting ice cream or not ?” Sora pouted , swaying his body back and forth looking at his best friend .
“ Yeah , let’s head over now and we can watch the sunset.” He said , motioning for Sora to follow. The spiky brown hair boy leap for joy , running to race Riku laughing . The silver hair boy followed along , catching up fast. Sora was already ordering his blue tasty treat , handing the other to Riku.
“ Beat ya! Hah! “ he handed the ice cream to Riku .
“ Thanks — yeah guess you did .” He rubbed the back of his head with his free hand , laughing . Sora took a step forward , loosing his balance due to a crack on the road tripping forward with quick reflex, Riku caught Sora. Their faces inches apart, shaky breaths while their gazes pierced. To break the awkward silence Riku laughed, leaning forward he took a bite of Sora’s ice cream with a smirk.
“ Hey !” Sora blushed , letting out a laugh. His heart skipped a beat , his lower lip trembled longing to know what it would be like if their lips connected . Riku held him still in position , til he realize the ice cream was melting .
“ Crap , we better um eat these now .” He helped Sora regain his posture , not moving too far away from him . Standing still, close enough that they could touch hands if they wanted.
“Come on , let’s watch the sunset Sora!” Riku called out walking over to a bench nearby , sitting down eating his ice cream. The sea salt taste danced on his tongue , while Sora finally flopped next beside him .
“It sure is pretty, reminds me back at destiny islands .” Sora said licking his ice cream , glancing over at the silver hair boy. Riku made eye contact , “Sure does , we’ve been through so much . . You know I got tired of us chasing each other all the time . . I like being able to do this instead . . “ Riku confessed , finishing his ice cream. Sora looked up with a goofy grin.
“ Yeah? It did get old doing that , I’m glad we’re finally able to just hang out Riku.” The brunette spiky hair boy replied, scooting closer to his best friend accidentally bumping his hand against Riku’s.
“ Hah, sorry —“ Sora blurted, Riku immediately took his hand . “It’s alright , gives me an excuse to do this .” Sora gently squeezed Riku’s hand , “Riku . . I need to tell you . . “
“ I know , I like you too Sora . . I think we shouldn’t hide away from our feelings anymore .” The silver hair male leaned over placing a gentle kiss to Sora’s forehead. The brunette giggled , “ You’re right !”
