Soriku Week, Day 5 - Peace and Quiet
Fandom/Pairing: Kingdom Hearts, Sora/Riku
Rating: Teen audiences
Characters: Sora, Riku, various mentions
Summary: It's those stolen moments between all of their chaos that Sora treasures most. Especially now, with so much of the future ahead of them. (This is a sneak peek of a larger story, lifted almost-verbatim from the WIP I've been slowly pushing through since last summer. There's also an Org XIII chat in here somewhere...)

Sora lifted his head from his econ textbook and yawned, almost crying at the relief it brought his poor, dry eyes.

“Mmm?” Riku didn’t lift his head from where he was conked out, half-asleep on Sora’s bed, hidden from view by the pile of extra blankets. It was almost funny, how much Riku had to curl up his legs to fit on the worn-out twin mattress. When they were kids, they could both lay side-by-side and watch the stars through Sora’s window. Now…well, the sun was still up, and they were both taller, and nostalgia might be some of the driving force behind it, but Sora wanted to do that again.
