Lollipops were okay, but Riku felt he deserved a little more mature rewards for hard work. "I accept kisses," Riku whispered back, even though Sora was falling asleep on him. "And sleepovers. And long walks by the boardwalk." They'd have them again someday, right? When Sora came back to school.
He closed his eyes again, and sighed, trying to calm down. It was okay. They were safe here. Heck, the dogs were both still in the room; they wouldn't let anyone hurt them.
"I love you," Riku murmured to Sora. It wasn't like he'd hear, being asleep, but it made Riku feel better to say it.
