Shorties

Riku glared at the shorter brunette practically skipping in front of him.

"We've gotta find something that would make Jack proud!" Sora chirped, turning into the seasonal aisle. That wasn't what bothered Riku. He was more than happy to help Sora decorate the front of the little house they'd shared since returning to Destiny Island, and yeah, he agreed, they would have to make it scary enough to impress even the Pumpkin King. It was why he'd agreed to help pick the decorations out in the first place.

A display of animated skulls erupted into song, one after another. "Spooky scary skeletons!" Sora's voice was quick to accompany the chorus. Loudly, and off-key.

Riku ground his teeth in irritation, then stopped and took a breath. "Sora…"

Sora spun on his heel, still bouncing in a collected dance. "Riiiikuuuu?"

"Must you do this every time we go to the store?"

Sora's mouth stretched into a radiant, blinding, innocent grin. Riku felt his anger wilt a little, until Sora shoved a selection of decorations into his arms. His mouth turned down into a scowl. "Do what?"

Riku levelled a dark look at his boyfriend. "Do what, he says. Press every single noise button in the store, that's what!" Riku huffed.

"Aw, c'mon Riku! It's fun!" Riku swore that Sora's smile hadn't been sparkling before. He really did like Sora's smile, and he felt his lips twitch up, trying to creep into their own smile, but he resolved himself to at least reprimand Sora before he gave in.

"It's just so embarrassing," he muttered. "I feel like I'm babysitting a child."

Sora's grin changed, the brightness fading into something darker: a lopsided smile full of intent. "Well, if that's the case…" He wrapped his arms around Riku decorations and all, "I hope you don't send me to bed without dessert." He beamed up and winked.

Riku felt his cheeks flush at the intent behind the words. "Dessert…"

Sora hummed merrily before placing a small kiss on his cheek and retreating, cheerfully resuming his task of choosing Halloween decorations. Riku just stood there, trying not to drop the ones already in his arms. The display of skulls had stopped singing, he realized, just before Sora's finger raced to press all the buttons again.

This time Riku couldn't help but smile as Sora wiggled his butt in time to the catchy Halloween tune, sending a wink his way.
