"You did it!" Kairi caught Sora up into a sweeping hug, nearly spinning him off-balance. She took the small, golden crown out of his hands and placed it on his head. "See? It's all yours now."

Sora gave a lopsided grin, but took off the crown. He didn't really like wearing it; it never seemed to sit right on his spiky hair. But for better or worse, it was his now.

"Yeah, but that means it's now the hard part," Sora sighed. "And it's not even like it's just Hollow Bastion! Just before the ceremony alone I promised I'd visit Atlantica and Halloween Town and Port Royal and the Pride Lands..." He started to list worlds off his fingers, only to realize he would quickly run out of fingers.

"You won't be doing it by yourself, you know," she said, and Sora remembered the smaller silver crown that was stashed on top of her cupboard. "And we'll worry about that when we need to."

Sora couldn't argue with that. For now, the ceremony was over, the guests were gone, and they had the entire wing of the castle to themselves. The new bedroom was huge, with thick drapes covering the stained-glass windows as well as the bed. The electricity was working again, but they had opted to light the room with only a series of candelabras. With both of them spending so much time world-traveling, they had accumulated a huge mass of clothes, books, charts and other random junk that was stacked in the corners for lack of better storage space. Otherwise, the room had greatly benefited from the refurbishing, as had the rest of Hollow Bastion. It was a huge difference from his small, homey bedroom on Destiny Islands...but at least he got to share this one.

He tossed the crown onto his own dresser as Kairi wrapped her arms around him and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. All responsibilities aside, what they had and what they did was now "official," and that was enough for him. Sora followed her to the bed, already feeling warm and a little light-headed. He sat on the edge of the bed and kicked off his oversized shoes as Kairi started to remove her own clothes. He barely had time to slip off the heavy ceremonial coat before a silhouette appeared in the doorway.

"Hey, I thought I'd find you two here," Riku said, leaning against the marble doorframe with his arms folded. He nodded at the golden crown on the dresser. "And congratulations, Your Majesty."

Sora gave Riku a funny look. "Can you not call me that? It's weird enough having Donald and Goofy say it all the time now." He fumbled with the zipper on his coat. "It's not even like I'm royal blood or anything."

Riku laughed. "You really are a lot like King Mickey. I don't know what you're so worried about." His eyes trailed from the crown to the pile of items on the dressers, some of them still wrapped in colorful paper. "Honeymoon gifts?"

Kairi scooted over to the dresser, her face beaming. "I know, I couldn't believe all this stuff we got!" She began poking through some of the assorted items. "Queen Minnie got me this really pretty necklace, and Selphie found all these nice lotions at—"

"Oh great, you got her started on all those girly gifts again," Sora groaned, flopping down onto the bed in defeat.

"And I suppose you got her something non-girly," Riku half-asked, half-stated.

Sora blinked in confusion and started to stumble over an answer, but Kairi hugged him again from behind, smiling and giving him a teasing kiss behind the ear. "Tonight is our present for each other! We're going to have some fun." Sora flushed at the kiss and nodded in agreement.

"Well, I should probably leave you two alone then," Riku sighed. Sora thought he saw a hint of a shadow cross Riku's face, and suddenly felt guilty without quite knowing why. As Riku turned to leave, Kairi added, "and speaking of presents, I didn't see any from you, Riku."

"It'd be hard to top a gift like that. And anyways, I don't think there's room in the king and queen's bed for the vagabond." Riku turned to make his exit, closing the door behind him. Mostly under his breath, he added, "even if I could probably please Sora better."

Kairi perked up at the poorly-concealed mumble. "Wait wait waaaait! Hold up just a minute!" She got up from the bed as Riku cracked open the door again and cocked an eyebrow at them. "What was that you said?"

"Nothing," Riku hummed, feigning innocence.

"Nuh-uh! You said you could please Sora better than I could," Kairi said in an accusing tone.

"Only 'cause it's true," Riku countered, looking like he was having extreme difficulty keeping a straight face.

Kairi put her hands on her hips. "Is that so? Well, looks to me like someone needs to be taught otherwise."

"And how do you propose we do that?" Riku asked, matching Kairi's stance.

Sora looked back and forth between the two, growing decidedly more uncomfortable. It almost felt like they'd gone back to their days on Destiny Islands of constant competition, except Kairi had switched from being the referee to a competitor. "I think we know how to resolve this," she said purposefully.

"Hold on, I'm the one who just got crowned king here," Sora spoke up. "Don't I get a say in the matter?"

"Come on, it's your guys' honeymoon," Riku scoffed. "It's not like you'd actually say yes."

If Riku was challenging Kairi before, Sora now saw this as a challenge to himself, and his natural urge to play the game and even the score struck him hard out of nowhere. On top of that, he was getting a little tired of Riku constantly poking fun at the two of them and then backing off once the subject turned to him. He knew Riku did it out of courtesy as well as understanding; but Sora's built-up curiosity was maddening. "Okay then. I do say yes."

Kairi and Riku stared back at him with slightly shocked looks. If they had been half-joking before, Sora just killed the joke half. They stole a glance at each other...clearly they hadn't been expecting this, and were unsure what to do now faced with the situation. Sora picked up on their unease, and made the mistake of throwing out an extra taunt. "What, suddenly the king's word isn't good enough for you?"

He may as well have said "ready-set-go," as they both jumped to meet his challenge. Kairi immediately darted to the bed, wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him. Riku, however, took his time. Smiling as if he knew something secret, he shut and locked the door. He waved his hand over the room, snuffing out all but two of the candles. Sora was spooked for a brief moment before he remembered Riku could still do that, and in the dark he heard Riku slip off his own silver-lined ceremonial robe. And then he felt Riku's arms wrap around his waist and his own kisses start on the back of his neck.

Sora suddenly found himself completely befuddled – Kairi and Riku were wrapped around him, both kissing at him and attempting to remove the remainder of his clothes, but he didn't know who to respond to. Finally realizing he only knew how to react to Kairi, he entangled his tongue in hers and moved his hands to unbutton her undershirt. He felt heat start flaring in his insides and then travel between his thighs as Kairi kissed him up over his shoulder and whispered, "I'm winning."

This seemed to be a prompt for Riku, as Sora felt the kisses become bites and nibbles along his earlobe, neck and shoulders. He wanted to bite back, unsure whether it was out of wanting Riku to be harder or softer on him. It briefly occurred to Sora that this entire contest was pointless, for he had no way of knowing who was arousing him more, only that it was happening with greater intensity.

Finally Sora turned from Kairi to Riku, catching his lower lip in his teeth, as Kairi moved to sucking the skin on his neck. Sora was shocked to find himself kissing fiercely at Riku, pushing his tongue down his throat and then back out to wet his chin. Although he had done the same thing with Kairi many times, it felt different with Riku, and he couldn't pinpoint how.

With no more clothing left between the three of them, both Kairi and Riku reached down between Sora's legs to grab ahold of him, but Riku got there first. "Mine this round," Riku teased, although it seemed Kairi had other plans anyway. Sora thought to protest that it actually was his, but didn't feel like arguing the point.

Sora eased down onto the bed on his back, letting his legs dangle over the edge. He lost track of Riku as Kairi drew one leg over him and settled onto her knees so that her crotch was level with his head. Knowing just what she wanted, he propped himself up on his elbows and began to lick her. Kairi let out a relieved sigh-turned-groan and went weak in the knees. She nearly lost her balance, but caught herself on his shoulders, then moved upwards to run her fingers through his sweat-darkened hair. Sora barely had time to get himself comfortable before Riku made his presence known once again by doing the same thing back to him.

Sora suddenly found it difficult to keep his concentration, with both Kairi's moist warmth shivering against his mouth, and Riku's own tongue working up and down his shaft. He felt like he would snap in two under the weight of their combined heat. He moaned into Kairi as she tensed around him, gripping at his hair a little harder than necessary. He hardly even noticed himself slowly rocking back and forth at Riku's bidding, just Riku's hands squeezing at his thighs and his constant sucking. Having a larger mouth than Kairi, Riku was able to cover more area at once, and Sora was surprised that he could notice the difference.

Kairi moaned louder as Sora flicked his tongue along the edges and then inside. He relished in her smell, her taste as the wet trickled down the insides of her legs and into his open mouth. The bittersweet flavor, combined with Riku's now desperate sucking, sent him spinning over the edge of an orgasm. He came with a twitch of his hips and a low moan, his fingers curling reflexively around the bedsheets. He felt Riku brace against him and then swallow hard, as if he'd been dying of thirst and finally allowed some water.

"Sora..." Kairi whimpered down at him, her eyes begging him to continue where he'd left off. Sora tried to lean forward and bring his tongue up into her, but couldn't manage the energy, and he collapsed back onto the bed.

"Give me a minute..." he gasped between long breaths, gazing up regretfully at her. Kairi gave him a disappointed yet understanding look and moved off of him, still dripping wet with sweat and fluids. He'd never reached orgasm that quickly before; certainly not before Kairi did.

Riku stood from his kneeling position and joined them on the bed again, looking highly satisfied but far from finished. "Awww, we wore him out," Riku teased, pushing two fingers into Sora's chest and causing him to give a little hiccup.

"I'm not done yet," Sora protested. However, he had difficulty fighting back the heavy weight of exhaustion. He wanted to at least finish what he started with Kairi.

Kairi didn't seem like she could wait much longer, however, as she crept up to Riku and wrapped her fingers around his cock, running her tongue along his chin. Riku responded in a like manner, and before long they were completely entwined in each other. Sora felt a twinge of jealousy that quickly dissolved into curiosity. Watching his two best friends, the queen and the vagabond, kiss and grope at each other warmed him inside almost to the point of guilt. A part of him wondered if Kairi would have been just as happy with Riku as she was with him.

"You're a very lucky girl," Riku breathed when he pulled his mouth away long enough to talk.

"You thought it was good, too?" she giggled, flushing as Riku pressed his thumb into one of her breasts.

"I'm waiting for seconds," Riku said, partially to Kairi and partially to Sora.

As Sora felt the heat of arousal start to creep back under his skin, he finally realized why sex with Riku felt different than it did with Kairi. Kairi brought out deep feelings of affection; the desire to make her feel as good as possible and love her until he drained himself completely. But with Riku, the desire became competitive. He wanted to one-up him, beat him at whatever game they chose just as they had as kids. It wasn't exactly equal, but both felt like a kind of love.

Riku seemed to read Sora's mind, and prompted the contest further. He chuckled into Kairi's hair and said, "Surprising that something so small can put out so much...guess you really can't judge things by their size." Sora's jaw dropped slightly. Riku smirked, and quickly added, "Your Majesty."

That did the trick. Sora found his energy again, and shuffled between them, eager to love Kairi and fight Riku all at once. He wrapped his legs around Kairi's waist and nearly shoved his fingers deep into her, causing her to moan with pleasure. At the same time, he brought his other hand up to Riku's silver hair, twisting his head around until his tongue contacted his lips. He drank in Riku's saliva, his mind buzzing at the taste of Riku and Kairi and himself all in the same moment. He knew that if he took them both on, he'd get hard again before long and show them who was in charge.

Sora pulled away from Riku, leaving him panting, and removed his fingers from Kairi to lick them dry. Riku leaned over to get a taste for himself, but Sora gave him a look that seemed to say "mine this round," and sucked the juices from his fingertips. Riku sighed at the look of satisfaction on Sora's face, and Kairi whined for more. Noticing that Riku was silently seething at being left out, Sora decided to taunt him further by giving his full attention to Kairi, shifting his legs so that she had room to straddle him.

But Riku was far from dissuaded, as Sora soon discovered. Positioning himself and wrapping his arms around Sora's chest, he thrust into Sora from behind.

Sora gave an inarticulate yell of pain and nearly doubled over onto Kairi. "Owwww! That HURT!" he hissed back, curling his toes in reflex.

Riku just laughed into Sora's neck, his own expression rimmed with pleasure. "She's made you too soft."

"I thought the idea of this whole thing was to please Sora, not punish him," Kairi teased. She demonstrated her point by sliding in onto him, causing him to release a long sigh. Riku finally withdrew, leaving Sora with a feeling of relief as well as something else.

Sora again lost track of Riku as Kairi stole his focus, her arms circled around his neck as her hips ground against his. Sora delighted at the bursts of pleasure she sent through him, as well as the moans and shudders he brought out of her. Then Sora picked up on something else...a scent. Overtaking the musky smell of sex was something sharp and fruity, something he felt he should recognize but couldn't quite place.

Then he felt Riku again assault him from behind, only instead of the hot, fast penetration that shocked him before, Riku was cool and slick and slid into him slowly. A shiver worked its way up along his spine and escaped as a long groan. Riku seemed to revel in Sora's reaction, digging his fingers into his skin as he pushed even deeper. At first Sora couldn't figure out why Riku's cock now felt so wet and slippery, and then he remembered the gift lotions on Kairi's dresser.

It took Riku a little time, but eventually he picked up on Sora and Kairi's natural rhythm, moving in and out of Sora in time with Kairi's motions. Sora even heard Riku begin to grunt and moan with each thrust, although not as loudly as he or Kairi did.

Sora instantly found all of his senses triggered in ways he never thought possible. He was trapped between Kairi's warm, wet softness surrounding him and Riku's cool, sticky hardness penetrating him, between the hot flush of passion and the cold bite of competition, and it thrilled him. Kairi's fast gasps falling on his face, Riku's strong arms gripping his ribs, their sweat mingling with his own, and the strong musky and fruity smells all pushed him completely over the edge.

He finally gave in and climaxed, filling up Kairi until he felt he had nothing left to give. She came just as he finished, and cried his name as her hips jerked in response. The effect seemed to ripple back to Riku, and Sora tensed as Riku's hot semen shot into him.

To Sora, it seemed Kairi and Riku remained locked around him for a long time. He came down from the orgasm slowly, almost gulping for air, as Kairi and Riku untangled themselves from him. He collapsed back onto the damp sheets with a euphoric smile. His two friends couldn't keep going this time, and they all ended up in a heap on the bed.

After a few minutes of simple breathing, Sora squirmed a little, and touched his fingers at some of the fruit-smelling stuff still left on his backside. "Hey, Riku...what is this lotion you used?"

Riku smirked. "Paopu-scented."

"So much for girly gifts," Kairi giggled. She reached over as if to grab the bottle, thought differently, and then took up Sora's crown. She scooted over and placed it back on his head, although it sat lopsided on his hair. "It's just as fit for a king." Kairi sighed as she lay back down. "This isn't how I expected a honeymoon would go."

Riku sucked in his breath. "Hey, you guys...thanks."

"Thanks?" Sora asked.

"You're king and queen now. This is your castle, your bed; this was your night...you didn't have to include me in it."

Sora paused before answering. "You're not exactly an easy vagabond to forget. And besides, you would've teased me about it for weeks if I turned down a challenge."

"Teased us both," Kairi added.

"Perhaps," Riku sighed, stretching luxuriously across the bed that wasn't his but still shared. "So...what's the score now?"

"Two-to-one," Sora grinned, and folded his hands behind his head. "Definitely in my favor."

Riku raised one hand, and with a flick of his wrist, extinguished the remaining two candles.


*Peeks head out* ...Everyone still alive? Good.

Otherwise, I've been working all day on the small animations for the portfolio site. It took me much longer than I anticipated (naturally) and I still have one animation left to go. Since it's the one that's actually supposed to be interactive, that's the one that's going to give me the most headaches. I hate being reminded of how much I suck at programming. >.< The animations look smooth and hand-drawn, but they also look terribly pixelated, and for some reason the color layer won't match up exactly with the lineart layer when it's actually put together. I'll have to figure out how to fix that later, but for now these things'll just have to do. Although now I kind of understand why everyone uses the more stop-motion approach to Flash than frame-by-frame animation...it's *much* faster and looks cleaner. Hrmmm.

I think I've just decided to let go on all the huge amounts of crap I wanted to get done this week. I really did assign myself too much, and there's no use worrying about it if I'm already working hard. So since the website is the main thing that's due, I'm going to focus on that first and foremost, with the articles for Journalism my next priority. If have the time left, I'll get to the other assignments. Cleaning will just have to be put on hold for awhile, and that I'll do with other people anyway.

Oh, something else cool! I am the subject of an article written by Kris McFarland, who is a cool dude. The article's about deviantART and getting exposure through online art communities in general, and you can read it here. You can also read more articles from the same class here. So very awesome! *beams*

KH2 countdown: 30 days! Exactly a month! :O

Drawing: Lots and lots and lots of pictures for website animations and such. Also, I heard back from Tim, and I need to make a few more changes to the tones. *is definitely not surprised* But not that much, thankfully! I'll probably do those tomorrow.

Writing: My guess is that next will be articles for journalism, or novel chapters. Probably on the days I'm at work and can't do the website. *sigh*
