Sweet Redemption

On the boat ride back to his island home, he took a moment to reflect on the rules him and Sora agreed upon before opening up their relationship.

Now it does seem trivial to have rules if one is in an open relationship but it was one of Sora’s stipulations. Sora had never thought for one second about sharing his beloved Riku with anyone. For a long time Sora held a dangerous grip on his silver haired Adonis but in time he realized that Riku’s sexual appetite was more than he could handle. He looked forward to a life with nothing but surf, sand, sun and sex but god dammit, he need to breath and Riku’s idea of just cracking a window was not cutting it.

There were four simple rules that they followed. The first two were obvious:

1. Make sure the person was clean. It made sense to keep out what you didn’t want and never had

2. Age appropriateness. The last complication anybody needs is court hearings

The last two were the most important:

3. They would not take home any virgins. It may seem tempting but the emotional implications that comes
with the aftermath makes it less appealing. They were not looking for a relationship, just one night.

4. They would not take home anyone who was in a relationship. If the couple wanted to come over that was one thing, but to be the people that break apart a relationship was another. God help the fool that would try and separate them and it was not right to separate others.

Riku stepped out unto the dock and tide up the boat. He looked up to his sea side house that sat comfortable upon a cliff that looked over the ocean. He climbed the wooden steps that were built into the earth and entered his home.

He walked into his dimly lighted kitchen with its dark hardwood floors and metallic appliances. There was a talk wicker table with matching chairs. They liked to call their home a barefoot house because of how open it was. There were large ceiling to floor windows that encompassed their two story two bedroom bungalow and hard wood floors throughout. It made for easy cleaning when one is always tracking in sand.

The decor was minimal, clean white furniture, wicker lawn and lounge chairs that set out on the decks, and various house plants and pictures of the young couple and their friends were spread throughout the house. They only thing they had in abundance of was any electronic gadget a man could get his hands on. They had a great entertainment center that had a wide screen TV, phenomenal stereo system, and just about every gaming console.

The best room in the house was the master bedroom. It had a king sized bed in the middle of the floor that was made with soft white cotton sheets and small green throw pillows. There was a small balcony that face west as well as a walk in closet and bathroom.

The two were also surrounded by bountiful flora. Palm trees, orchids, lilies, and vines seemed to form a barrier and there was a small private beach no more than a few feet from their back deck. Yes it was their very own secluded slice of paradise.

Riku spotted his young lover dozing on the couch bare chested and red swim trunks on. The over head ceiling fans made a delicious white noise and kept the home a comfortable temperature. Riku tip-toed quietly to Sora’s side and knelt down beside him. He brushed away the cinnamon hair away from Sora’s eyes and leaned in to kiss the soft pink lips.

Immediately his kiss was returned as a pair of arms wrapped around his neck. Sora’s tongue pushed against Riku’s lip which opened excitedly for the intrusion. Lovingly their tongue’s played with one another as Sora’s hands wound mingled themselves possessively in silver locks. Sora slowly pulled away from the kiss while sucking on his lover’s lower lip.

“Welcome home baby.” Came Sora’s sing-song voice. “I’ve missed you.”

“I’ve missed you too.”

Sora sat up on the couch to give Riku some room. Once situated Sora throw his legs over his lap and scooted closer to him.

“So how was your day?” Sora asked.

“Interesting.” He said trying to convince Sora that there was nothing bothering him but his blue eyes lover was unconvinced.

“Hmmmmm, that doesn’t sound like a very good interesting. Did anyone say anything to you?”

Riku shook his head. “No it’s not that, I just met someone.”

“Ohhhhhhh…” Sora let out a giggle. “I see what’s going on.” Riku grimaced at the younger boy who was holding back his laughter. “He or she rejected you right? Ha ha you never did deal with rejection well.”

Riku scoffed. It wasn’t often he had to deal with rejection because, well, look at him. His body was sculpted like a Greek statue, penetrating green eyes, wild silver locks, sinful smile, and not to mention that bad boy attitude that any person felt compelled to change.

“Well, you really can’t get rejected when you haven’t even asked HER.”

“So it’s a she huh…well, I’ve never known you to shy away from anyone. I mean you’re like a kid in a candy store when it comes to this stuff, only the candy is anything with a pulse and the kid is ridiculously gorgeous and horny as hell.”

“Ha ha ha.” Laughed Riku sarcastically.

“Then what’s the hold up? Does she make you nervous?” Sora asked jokingly.

“Yes actually, she's not like any of nymphomaniac, BDSM, freaky girls I’ve brought home before. She is kind, beautiful and surprisingly normal and getting her to come home with me won’t be that simple.”

Sora nodded in agreement. “Ok…so we’ll just meet up with her and take her out or something. I mean if you’re that attracted to her she must be something special and worth the extra effort.”

“Well, it’s not that simple.” Riku gently pushed Sora’s legs off of him and got up off the couch. He was nervous, but he couldn’t lie to Sora about Shazz. He started pacing the floor and Sora got in uncomfortable feeling about all this. Finally Riku let out a heavy sigh and starred Sora directly in the eyes. “She’s in a relationship.”

Sora didn’t react at first, he just sat there absorbing the information and calmly he said, “Well, that sucks, better luck next time huh.”

“Sora, I don’t want there to be a next time, I want her.”

“Well I’m sorry Riku but you know the rules we can’t…”

“But it’s not really a relationship.” Riku interrupted “It’s falling apart at the seams.”

“It doesn’t matter. Even if it is falling apart, it’s not our place to make it any worse.”

“But you don’t understand…”

“What is there to understand, that this is absolutely insane!” Sora was starting to raise his voice “Jesus Christ Riku, I know that you are very attracted to her but she just some girl. There are plenty more out there.”

“She isn’t just some girl.” Riku flopped down on the easy chair. He rubbed his forehead and then ran his fingers through his hair. He wasn’t even looking at Sora but he could feel azure eyes burning into him. “When I see her, I see us.”

“What?!” yelled an unsympathetic Sora.

“ Yes, when I first met her, I was so very attracted to her and I was just going to use my usual pick up methods to bring her home, but then we got to talking and she told me she was in a relationship but wasn’t happy. I’m not going to deny that I hoped it was on the verge of break up but I wasn’t going to force her into anything she didn’t want to do. All I wanted to was to listen and what she told me was heartbreaking. This guy she’s with was a loner, I mean completely detached from outside world and she took it upon herself to befriend him, to let him know that someone in this world would care for him. She devoted her life to him and how does he repay her, by trapping her, neglecting her, cheating on her. Sora this man has her so broken that she can’t believe that anyone else could love her, he has her so scared of breaking away that she’s willing to settle.”

The room became so silent that you could hear the waves gently rushing the shore. Both the men couldn’t look at each other. One trying too hard to hide his emotions, and the other desperately searching for words to say.

“I can’t let her keep thinking that this is all that life has to offer.” Continued Riku as he swallowed back the lump that was forming in his throat “I can’t let her keep believing that there is no one is this world that would love her. These feelings can be dangerous.”

Sora understood all too well what his older companion was saying. That was why Riku left him in the first place. He thought he was losing Sora and he feared that no one would love him and that led him to follow a darker imitation of it.

Sora walked over and knelt down in front of Riku. Gingerly he took his lovers face into his hands and their eyes locked.

“Ok.” Sora said meekly “We’ll go meet her.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really, we will meet with her and just take it from there.”

Riku wrapped his arms around his beloved and pulled him in for a tender kiss. “Thank you and I promise if this isn’t something you want to do, I won’t push it.”

“It’s fine baby. I trust you.”
