museficSummary: Winter on Destiny Islands doesn't generally come with snow.
[Set at some point after the unwritten fic, but before they've moved to Radiant Garden. Riku, Sora, and Kairi flirt while decorating for Christmas on the Islands. (There's a brief mention of Riku and Sora sharing a room; Riku has moved in with Sora and Sora's mom.) Implied sex, though still quite T-rated.]
Kairi flopped backwards on Riku’s bed, considering the card Sora had passed to her. It was almost Christmas, and his extended family had dutifully sent their well-wishes. This was Sora’s absolute favorite holiday, so he was decorating his and Riku’s room with the cards.
“You know, all the Christmas cards and decorations and things all kind of baffled me as a kid,” she said. This card depicted a peaceful forest scene of snowmen and snow-covered evergreens. “All this winter imagery, snowflakes and snowmen and reindeer and things. I always wondered if we were missing out.”
Sora, sitting on the floor, cocked his head to the side. “Hmm, I know what you mean. I had no idea what snow was really like. It was almost as abstract an idea as Santa. Even though unlike some people—” he glared at Riku, “—I believed in both.”
Riku laughed and sat down on his bed next to Kairi. “You’ve seen both now.”
“I’m still extremely jealous about that, by the way.” Kairi sat up and pointed at Sora. “You met Santa without me!”
“We’ll have to visit Christmastown together,” Sora said. “And Halloweentown. They were great!”
“What about snow?” Riku asked.
Sora made a face. “Not as great as Santa.”
“I think I’ve had my fill of that kind of cold,” Riku said. A shadow passed over his face, but disappeared quickly.
“We should probably enjoy the warm winters,” Kairi agreed. And this winter was especially warm so far, practically still summer temperatures except at night, and even then not even really chilly.
“True,” Riku agreed. “During a cold winter, you can’t get away with wearing tanktops every day” He playfully ran a finger under the strap of the one she was wearing right now. “And that’s a sincere shame.”
She licked her lips. “Oh really, is it?” She suppressed a giggle.
It was Sora who nodded agreement. “Both of you having to wear sleeves all the time? A tragedy.” Then he added, mock-thoughtful, “Of course, when it’s cold out, you may have to think up all sorts of activities to help stay warm…”
At that, Kairi knew her face flushed. “Where did you even hear that?” she asked, now giving in to the laughter.
"I think I want to know what ‘activities’ Sora thinks he’s talking about,” Riku teased, but his fingers were back under the strap of her tanktop, tracing gently up and down.
Sora grinned back. “Use your imagination. I’m pretty sure there are plenty of things you can think up for the three of us to do…” He reached over and put a hand on each of their calves, inching his fingers up.
Kairi playfully kicked a sandled foot at him. “I’m sure that’s true. But as it is, it’s just far too hot to even consider doing anything strenuous…” she flopped backwards again with feigned drama.
“Lazy,” Riku accused, creeping closer up the bed, fingers now going to the hem of her shirt, just slipping under. “But who said it had to be strenuous for you?”
She giggled again and covered her face.
“Sora’s the one who brought it up,” Riku continued. “I think he should be the one doing the work.”
“H-hey,” Sora protested, but he was already scrambling up to join them on the too-small-for-three bed. “Why do I have to do everything?”
“Is that a real complaint?”
“No.”
The card fluttered to the floor, completely forgotten, and they didn’t get back to decorating for quite a while.
