Kingdom Hearts
Book I - Destiny Island
Chapter 2 - New Discoveries


The cold watery depths enveloped Sora's body. It wrapped him up in its icy
embrace much like a mother would wrap up her precious child. Though the
darkness offered Sora a peaceful release, he fought against it. He surged
upward, fighting against his numbing senses, finally breaking through the
ocean's surface. Sora was near the beach, though it was very late in the
day. The sun had begun its nightly ritual, settling in for its peaceful
slumber. The sky was cloudy and the few remaining vestiges of light set off
a multitude of rainbow hues dancing across the skyline.

"Hey Sora!" It was Kairi, standing on the shore. She was always such a
vision. Her short auburn colored hair and soft emerald green eyes gave her
a very innocent look. Kairi's long slender body was clad in her usual pink
denim skirt and white sleeveless shirt. She giggled and waved as Sora waved
back, trudging through the water towards her. After reaching her, Sora took
a moment to catch his breath. She only giggled more and gave Sora one of
her child-like smiles when he looked up.

"What's wrong Kairi?" Sora asked her. Kairi looked deeply puzzled, staring
at something in the sky behind him. He turned suddenly, trying to find the
source of her puzzlement. There were many shooting stars falling all around
the horizon, giving off a purple brilliance as they burned up in the
atmosphere. There was one object that didn't give off any light as it
fell. Upon closer inspection, both Kairi and Sora realized that it was he
that was falling through the sky.

Sora didn't know what to make of it. An unsettling sense of vertigo set in
as he toppled backward, falling through the ground that suddenly became the
sky. Sora was falling through the sky, as he had seen himself do only
moments before. He reached out his hand to take Kairi's, but she only
vanished in a ripple as Sora plunged through the water. He fell for a long
time, but this time the dream didn't end. This time, he touched the bottom.

Sora couldn't see anything, no matter where he looked. When he stepped
forward, the ground tore itself apart. Great huge chunks of the lightless
void ripped away. The great pieces changed into doves, fluttering away and
leaving our hero on a massive platform of stained glass. The glass had a
greenish-yellow tinge with a picture of a young maiden. She had long,
lustrous coal-black hair with a red ribbon tied in. Her top was blue and
she had a long flowing canary-yellow skirt. The maiden had an apple in her
hand, as if she meant to take one small bite.  It was then the voice spoke
to Sora.

"So much to do, so little time..." It had begun. Sora didn't know what to
make of the voice, whether or not he should be in awe or in fear of it.

"Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut." It spoke slowly,
diligently and with purpose.

"Now, step forward. Can you do it?" The voiced had asked the bewildered
Sora. He couldn't detect any distinct characteristics. It was neither male
nor female, excited or sad, but only a monotonous drone that seem to speak
directly to Sora. Almost like it was talking directly to his heart, or was
it talking from his heart? That was a question our young hero was sure he
didn't want to know the answer to. Sora walked towards the center of the
massive stained glass platform. When he reached the center, three platforms
rose out of the ground. One in front of him and two to either side.

"Power sleeps within you, if you give it form..." The voice spoke again. On
the pedestal directly in front of Sora, a small sword appeared, floating a
few inches in the air.

"It will give you strength, choose well." As the mysterious speaker
finished, a shield had appeared to Sora's left while a wand with a curious
headpiece materialized to his right.

"I guess I have to pick one?" Sora asked aloud, not really sure to whom he
was speaking.  No answer ever came though, only a deafening silence filled
the void. Sora looked from object to object, wondering which would be the
best item to choose.

"Hmmm, a sword, a shield and a wand." He pondered aloud to the empty
space. After a few moments of intense thought, Sora choose. Our confident
hero walked towards the right most pedestal, choosing to take the wand. It
was about a foot long with a vivid blue ball attached on the end. There
were two matching, smaller balls connected to the first. Sora thought the
smaller orbs looked almost like ears, but he didn't get a chance to wonder
about his thoughts for very long; a voice came intruding into his thoughts.

"The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. Is
this the power you seek?"

"Wonder and ruin..." Sora mused. Not really understanding what it all might
mean, he merely nodded his response to the question.

"Your path is set, now what will you give up in exchange?" The voice asked
him.

"I have to give one up???" Sora was bewildered. This dream was getting a
little too strange for him. He looked back from the shield to the sword,
not really knowing which one to give up. Sora walked over to the shield. It
was a black shield with a red trim border. It had the same shape as the
wand's headpiece emblazoned in the middle.

"The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel
all. You give up this power?"

"...to aid friends." Sora didn't really like the idea of giving up that
kind of power."

"I-I can't give up this power," he shouted to the empty space. "I promised
Kairi I'd always protect her." Sora put the shield back on the
pedestal. "And I have to protect that kid. I don't know why, but I just
have to." There was no response to Sora's unspoken vow, only the continued
cacophony of deadly silence. The only choice that was left to our hero was
the sword which he picked it up without hesitation.

"The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible
destruction. You give up this power?"

"A sword of terrible destruction," Sora whispered. Sora was very
comfortable with a sword. He along with Tidus and Riku often played with
toy swords on the island. They would duel one another, but not once did
Sora ever feel like hurting them or anyone else for that matter. He would
gladly give up such destructive powers if it meant saving the ones he
loved.

"I give up this power." Sora announced to the mysterious speaker. The sword
vanished from his hands.

"You've chosen the power of the mystic. You've given up the power of the
warrior. Is this the form you choose?" Sora didn't hesitate for a moment.

"It is." He merely responded. At that moment, the pedestals broke, sinking
into the glass. The stained glass started to break up as well. From the
outside perimeter in, it shattered, pulling Sora into the nightmarish
depths.  The thrashing youth suddenly came to his senses. He lay there,
entangled in the bed coverings with the new morning sun glaring into his
sleep-filled eyes. Sora sat up, disentangling himself from the sheets, his
mother's bed drenched in sweat.

"What's wrong with me?" Sora rubbed his eyes, yawning. "I wonder what it
all means?" The still somewhat sleepy boy wondered. The dreams had started
a few months ago, not too long after his fourteenth birthday. They always
seem to be the same. Sora was always falling or plunging into darkness, as
if it were calling to him, beckoning him farther away from the light. It
would try to seduce him and Sora was tempted to embrace the shadows in all
its decadence, but he would always rail against it. He would disdain this
dark lover and before it could swallow him whole, Sora would wake up. These
new dreams, however, were a little different. Sora wasn't sure whether it
was a good thing or a very bad omen.

"Sora! Could you come here for a minute?" It took a minute for his mother's
voice to register in Sora's mind and then he was off in a flash. He found
her in the small kitchen, loading small chunks of firewood into the
wood-burning stove.

"Mom! Is he alive? How is he? Did he wake up?" He pelted his mother with a
thousand questions, all of them concerning the strange boy that washed up
on shore yesterday. She turned around, watching her son. They grow up so
fast she thought to herself.

"Yes, I'm not sure, no and good morning to you too dear." She smiled at
Sora, wondering how much this person would change Sora's life. Hopefully
for the better she silently told herself.

"So how is he mom?"

"He should be fine. The fever broke sometime last night after I put you to
bed." She pulled Sora to her, hugging him deeply. "Don't worry, he'll be up
in no time at all. Then you two can be together."

That last statement caught Sora off guard, and he wasn't quite sure what
she meant by it. She let go of her precious son and handed him a small
basket. "I'm making some soup for lunch, why don't you be a dear and grab
me some vegetables from the garden. Then I want you to clean up after
you've finished playing in the dirt."

"Ok mom." Sora smiled at his mother. She was sincere and strong and Sora
admired her deeply. He waved goodbye as he trotted out the door.

The garden was situated behind Sora's home. It was his mother's pride and
joy. She spent many years toiling in the garden, making it into the
beautiful landscape it was today. There were many varieties of vegetables
planted in small sections at one end of the garden, and the other end was
filled with roses and irises and all sorts of other beautiful
flowers. There was a wood bench that his father built; it gave them a
spectacular view of the sun setting down below the horizon. She gave that
garden almost as much attention as she did Sora and he was very proud of
his mom for making such a gorgeous garden. He retrieved some potatoes and
pulled some carrots out of the ground. When he had filled the small basket
to the brim, he set off towards the house. Three boys came strutting up
before he could make it very far.

"Hey Sora! Heard you were making out with some dude!" It was Simon along
with his two cronies. Simon was a few years older than Sora and stood about
a foot taller as well. He was massive, a dangerous mix of girth and
muscle. Rex and Brian stood off to the side. While Rex was just plain fat,
Brian was nothing but skin and bones. Both boys however, had the IQ of
bird. Sora never mentioned that fact though; he didn't want to insult the
seagulls.

"Leave me alone!" Sora shouted back at his tormentors. He could never
understand why Simon seemed to hate him so, only that he did. From the
moment Sora and Simon had meet, Simon had done everything he could to make
life miserable for him. It was a never-ending string of abuse and there
wasn't much neither he nor anyone could do to stop it. There was not a
single person in the village that didn't care for Simon or his family. No
one dared to openly say so though, for Simon's father was one of the
village elders.

"Awww, did I hurt the poor wittle fairy's feelings?" Simon said with a
voice full of malice. Sora clenched his teeth, but said nothing.

"Come on Sora, don't' hold out on his." Simon had a wicked grin on his
face. "Me and the boys want to have some fun too." Rex and Brian sniggered,
realizing what their boss meant by 'fun'. Sora snapped, he grabbed a tomato
from the basket and flung it at the laughing hyenas. It hit Simon full on
the face with an audible splat. The other two boys stared in shock, then
they fell on the ground laughing, too stupid to realize that they weren't
suppose to laugh at the boss.

"You're dead you little queen." He gave Sora a fatal look, walking towards
him with fists clenched tight. Sora only smirked, picking out a nice fat
potato from the basket.

"Want some more?" He asked Simon. Simon stopped dead in his tracks,
thinking of what to do. He looked around the garden, smiled evilly and
backed off.

"This isn't over. I'll get you Sora, you and your little fag too." Simon
trudged off, dragging the two laughing boys with him. Sora breathed a deep
sigh of relief, wondering how he managed to get off so easily.  While this
had all been going, Sora's mom was preparing lunch. She had placed a large
iron pot of water on the stove to boil while she cooked small chunks of
meat in a black iron cast skillet. The heavenly smell of freshly baked
bread permeated the air. Although she wasn't the village's best cook, she
could definitely hold her own and there was always more than enough food
for them to eat. She hummed to herself as she worked diligently in the
small kitchen. As she had just finished taking the skillet off the stove,
she heard a small crash upstairs. Fearing that the worst had happened, she
ran up the short flight of stairs to Sora's room. Upon opening the door to
his room she found the poor boy on the floor, struggling to disentangle
himself from the bedding. Sora's mom giggled in spite of herself. The young
boy stopped struggling.

"W-who's there?" Came a shaky voice.

"Ssshhh, don't worry honey, I'm a friend." She knelt down, helping the
struggling youth free himself. Hello there, my name is Patricia, but please
call me Patty." She smiled at the lanky boy as she helped him back on the
bed. Evan eyed her a little suspiciously, not really sure if he could trust
her.

"I..umm...I'm Evan." the young boy squeaked. There was an awkward silence
and he looked at Patty rather pitifully. "Uh, where am I?"

"You're in my home. Don't worry Evan, I won't hurt you." She gave young
Evan a small hug, trying to qualm his fears. Evan gazed around the room,
his sleepy eyes not really able to focus on any particular detail. His mind
was fuddled and Evan couldn't think very coherently.

"uh...Patty?" Evan pulled himself out of her embrace.

"Yes dear?"

"W-well, ummm. How did I get here?"

"Well dear, my son found you near the beach, he saved your life." She
looked at him, trying to gauge his reaction before she continued. "My son
and a few of his friends brought you here, and the doctor treated you. When
you developed such a high fever, we weren't sure if you would make it
through the night." Evan merely nodded, the full impact of the situation
not quite dawning on him yet. He tried to gather his thoughts but before he
could ask another question, a loud roaring sound interrupted them.

"Oh my." Patty couldn't help but laugh as poor Evan hung his head in
embarrassment, apologizing profusely.

"I...I-I...I'm s-so sorry," Evan apologized, almost in tears.

"Its okay dear, you have nothing to be sorry for." He sniveled for a little
bit and another loud rumble shook the walls before he had calmed
down. Patty laughed and this time, Evan giggled a little.

"I think someone's a little hungry," she winked at Evan as his tummy
rumbled in response. He gave her a small smile, the kind of smile that
warms a person's heart.

"Well, maybe just a little." They laughed together like they were old
friends, and everything was all right with the world. Patty gently laid him
back, pulling the covers back over him.

"Get some rest dear, lunch will be ready in a while." She kissed his
forehead and got up to leave.

"Uh...Patty?

"Yes dear?" She stopped at the doorway, turning back to face the drowsy
boy.

"I don't really remember too much, but I think I saw an angel." Evan
yawned, trying very hard to stay awake. "He had the most beautiful...*yawn*
...blue eyes," he whispered before finally falling asleep. Patty only
smiled, knowing full well now that Sora wasn't going to be alone.

"Mom! I'm back!" Sora walked in the door as his mother came down the
stairs.

"Honey, I want you to go grab the doctor, ok?" Sora froze in his steps.

"What's wrong? Is he ok? Did something happen?" He headed towards the
stairs until his mom intercepted him.

"He's fine, He woke up for a bit. Now run along and get the doctor." Sora
started to protest, but Patty cut him off short. "Scoot!"  Sora handed his
mom the basket of vegetables and was out the door in a flash. Meanwhile,
Patty returned to the kitchen, finishing off the soup by the time Sora came
back. The doctor came bursting through the front door with Sora and Selphie
in tow.

"Is...he..ok?" The doc said inbetween breaths.

"He was awake a little earlier." Patty responded coolly.

"I'll go check on him then. Bring my bag Selphie."

"Yes sir." She said, bouncing along behind him full of excitement. Sora
tagged along while Patty put together a small tray with soup and warm
bread. She came up the stairs with the food, entering the room to find the
doctor checking over young Evan. Sora was sitting on the edge of the bed
while Selphie dutifully helped the doctor with his examination.

"Well? How is he?" Sora pressed the doctor, hoping that the worst was
over. The doctor paused and looked at the worried teenager, noting the deep
concern he found in his eyes.

"He is going to be just find Sora. Our biggest concern now is that he is
just a little emaciated. There is no telling how long it's been since he
last ate anything." The doctor sniffed the air, his mouth watering from the
smell of good food. "Though I daresay that won't be much of a problem with
such a wonderful gourmet cook looking after him." Patricia giggled,
blushing deeply from the compliment.

"I do what I can," she responded modestly. The doctor looked at her
incredulously.

"You're the best cook on the island and you know it." She only looked away
demurely as the doctor flirted with her. Patty had been a good friend of
the doctors for a long time. After his wife died so many years ago, he
didn't think he would ever feel alive again. Their relationship seemed to
fill a void in his life and he cherished her friendship above all
else. While the two adults chatted, the sleeping Evan woke up. He sat up
slowly, his arms slightly unsteady from lack of use. Evan looked around the
room, noting that there were other people in the room. He was afraid at
first, until he looked at Sora, losing himself completely in those blue
eyes.

"He's awake!" Selphie and Sora cried out together. Patty and the doctor
rushed over to the bedside. Evan cringed back a little, not sure of what
was going on.

"Don't worry son, were friends. You're safe here." The doctor tried his
best to soothe the trembling boy. Patricia knelt beside the bed.

"It's okay dear, these are friends of mine." He seemed to calm down a
little, though Evan was still a little apprehensive. The doctor introduced
himself.

"Hi, I'm Doctor Hikari, and this is my daughter Selphie." He motioned to
the girl standing next to him.

"Nice to meet ya!" Selphie chimed in. Patty pointed at Sora.

"And this is my son Sora, he is the one that saved you." Evan looked back
at Sora, watching the smiling youth with intense curiosity.

"M-my name's Evan." He told them meekly.

"How are you feeling Evan?" Doctor Hikari asked him. Evan gave them all a
brief smile.

"Like I'd almost drowned." He giggled and soon the rest of them joined in
with him.

"Well if you still have your sense of humor, then I'm sure it will be no
time before you are back to full health." He chuckled some more and started
packing up his stuff. "Lets go Selphie, Evan still needs plenty of rest."

"Ok Dad." They headed out the door. Selphie popped her head back in the
door.  "It was nice meeting ya," she waved at Evan before running down the
stairs to catch up with her father.

"I made some soup for lunch, I hope your hungry." Patty laid the tray of
food across Evan's lap. His stomach growled as the delicious smells teased
his palate. Without a moment's thought, he took up the small wooden spoon
and dived right in. Sora watched Evan for a moment, completely enthralled
by him.

"What were you doing out in the ocean?" Sora asked him. Evan stopped
chowing down, trying hard to swallow the mouthful of food. He sat there for
a while, thinking hard.

"I'm not sure." He told them sadly. "I don't really remember too much."

"Well don't worry about that dear, it'll come back to you in time." She
took the empty tray of food away. "Why don't you try and get some rest
dear." Evan looked at her a little sheepishly.

"Uuh...Patty?"

"Yes dear?" She stopped at the doorway.

"Do you think that maybe I could clean up a little? I'm really wet and
sticky." He pushed the covers off of him; the bedding was a little damp
from sweat.

"If you think you're up to it, that's fine. Sora, why don't you take him
down to the falls."

"Ok mom!" Sora jumped off the bed excitedly

"Don't forget the soap, I made some this morning. " She headed down the
stairs then, leaving the two boys alone. They stared at each other for a
while before Evan turned away. He shifted uncomfortably in the bed as the
silence continued. Sora scratched his head, shifting from one foot to the
other.

"So, umm...Sora?" Evan fiddled with the sheets nervously. "W-what are the
falls?" Sora leapt over to the bed in excitement.

"They're waterfalls," he told him. "This place has got tons of them and the
villagers use them for all sorts of stuff." Evan only nodded in response.

"You're gonna have a blast Evan, the falls are such a cool place." Evan
swung his feet over the edge of the bed with obvious effort; his muscles
had atrophied from not using them for such of long time.

"Sounds cool." He told Sora softy, giving him a brief smile as he tried to
stand up. No matter how hard he tried, Evan couldn't seem to get his feet
to obey his commands. They hung over the edge of the bed like pieces of
driftwood. Evan was becoming very upset and started to tear up when Sora
came to his side.

"Here," he said to Evan, holding his hand out. "Let me help you." Evan
wiped his eyes and looked up at Sora. He saw the sincerity in his eyes and
Evan let that comfort him.

"O-ok." The young boy held out his hand and Sora pulled him to his
feet. Evan swayed back and forth and stumbled as he tried to get his legs
to work. He became very upset as each attempt to walk only ended in
failure. Sora never wavered from his side. He picked Evan up without a
moments thought.

Come on Evan, you can do it." Evan slumped down on the floor in defeat.

"I-I can't do it. I'll never walk again." Evan sniffled as Sora sat down
beside him.

"Don't worry, you can do it. You just have to keep trying." Evan looked at
Sora, not really believing what he said. "Why don't you put your arm around
my neck, and we'll walk together until you can do it yourself."

"Oh, uhhh...I couldn't let you do something like that." Evan turned away,
blushing at the thought of being so close to Sora.

"Don't worry, its okay." Sora took Evan's left arm and slung it around his
neck, hauling them both up onto their feet. "See? No problem." The taller
boy only smiled as they headed out the door, taking the stairs down very
slowly. They stopped by the kitchen to pick up some soap and wave goodbye
to Patty.

"You boys be careful now!" Patricia shouted at the boys as they left.  Sora
and Evan walked through the village in silence. Evan stared at the ground
self consciously as the villagers stared at them when the two boys would
pass by. Sora kept up a cheerful attitude as they left the village and into
the forest. They headed down the worn trail towards one of the waterfalls
that was used for bathing. Sora broke the uneasy silence between the two.

"So, have you remembered anything?" He asked Evan

"Well..." Evan started, trying his hardest to remember something. "I was
trying to get away I think."

"From what?"

"I...uhh... d-don't really know." Evan stared down at the forest path. Sora
was about to ask him some more questions when both boys heard a strange
sound coming from the direction of the waterfall.

"What was that?" Sora stopped and looked at Evan. Evan only shrugged as
they heard the sound again. It was a little louder this time and it sounded
like a soft moan. Evan and Sora stared at each other, trying to puzzle out
what the moaning was coming from. It came again, a long drawn out noise
that seem to be pleading.

"Maybe some animal's hurt?" Evan asked aloud. The animalistic moan sounded
off again, full of a need for release.

"Come on Evan! Someone might be hurt." Sora dragged the hesitant boy
towards the clamor. They weren't able to move very fast since Evan was
still struggling to make his legs move on their own. The closer the two
boys got to the waterfall, the louder and more frenzied it became. It rose
to a feverish pitch in one long drawn out sound, and then all the forest
fell into silence. A few minutes later they broke through the small
underbrush and came upon a very startled Wakka and Tidus.

"Hey guys, watcha doin?" Sora looked at the two boys. Wakka was sitting on
a large rock his face was flush and he was breathing very hard, as if he
had been exerting himself in some way. Tidus stood a few inches off to the
side, fidgeting uncomfortably. Wakka finally spoke up after he managed to
catch his breath.

"Hey man, we were just hanging out, ya? Wakka looked at Tidus.

"Yeah," Tidus responded quickly. "We weren't doing anything." Evan looked
at both of them, a growing suspicion rising in his mind as Sora burst out
laughing.

"Hey man, what's so funny? Wakka asked.

"You always were a messy eater Tidus." The other three boys were baffled by
Sora's answer. When no one said anything Sora spoke up. "You got coconut
milk all over your face." Tidus stiffened up, staring at Wakka in
horror. He rushed over to a small pool that connects to the waterfall,
scrubbing his face thoroughly. Wakka jumped up off his rock and started
down the trail back to the village with Tidus hurrying after him.

"Hey guys, wait!" Sora yelled at the boys. "What's wrong?"

"Uh, got chores to do. See you guys later, ya? Wakka yelled back over his
shoulder. Sora and Evan just stood there, totally baffled.

"I wonder what was up with those two?" Evan was pretty sure he knew what
was up but he didn't respond to Sora's question. While Sora just stood
there looking back at the trail, Evan got a good look at the surrounding
area. There was a large semi-circular pool of water with a large
outcropping of rock. The water was so clear that you could see the sand at
the bottom and a few small fish swimming in schools. A thin sheet of water
fell from the top of the rocks, creating a soft splashing sound that echoed
through the air, bringing Evan a sense of awe. The water sparkled softly
from the few rays of light that poked through the dense foliage. The lush
green forest enclosed the entire space. It was like a private oasis and
Evan couldn't wait to take a dip in the cool refreshing water.

"Are you coming?" Sora asked Evan. He had started stripping his clothing
off, first his shoes and socks and then his shirt. Evan's jaw went slack as
he admired Sora's thin, sinewy body. He turned red in the face and faced
the other way when he saw Sora removing his shorts.

"Uh..w-what are you doing?" Though he was extremely nervous that Sora might
catch him staring a little too hard at him, he was just as excited at the
prospect of seeing the other boy in the buff.

"I thought we were gonna get cleaned off," he said to the nervous boy. "And
I don't want to get my clothes wet." Evan turned his head and attempted to
sneak a peak at Sora, but to his dismay, the adventurous youth was already
waist deep in the pool. "Come on Evan! The water feels great!" Sora flashed
him a disarming smile.

"O-okay." Evan removed his torn shirt and his tattered shorts. He stood
there, at the edge of the water with his hands covering his lower
extremities. Sora looked at Evan and felt his heart get stuck in his
throat. Evan's stomach looked caved in and his ribs showed very
noticeably. He was almost nothing but skin and bones. What made Sora feel
worst of all was the look of sadness Evan had on his face. The other youth
soon joined him in the water and everything was okay. They splashed around
the water and swam around for a while, enjoying the cool water on their
bodies.

"Uh..would you..umm ...help me get cleaned off?" Evan asked Sora. He looked
surprised for a moment and then a big smile came over Sora's face.

"I'd love to!" he told Evan as he went back to the shore to retrieve the
soap. Meanwhile Evan went over to the small waterfall and let the thin
shower-like water cascade over his body. He couldn't remember the last time
he felt so alive. Evan ran his fingers through his hair, getting the dirt
and grime out. Sora came over and joined him, washing out his hair under
the waterfall. They looked at each other, and an unspoken connection seem
to pass between them. Evan moved closer to Sora, taking the soap from him
and lathering it up in his hands. He lightly moved his hands over Sora's
body, gently caressing his body, mapping out every curve and
indentation. Sora closed his eyes and laid his head on Evan's shoulder, the
feeling of Evan's soft hands roaming all over his body sent his mind
reeling.

"Turn around." Sora heeded the command, allowing Evan to knead and massage
his back. Never before had Sora ever felt such powerful
sensations. Thoughts of Evan invaded his mind and sent him shivering with
excitement. His breathing became ragged and the stirring in his loins set
his body on fire. Every time Evan's hands kneaded a little deeper, the more
he felt like his whole body was going to explode. It wasn't long before
Sora fell forward, his whole body convulsing from pleasure.

"Are you okay Sora?" Evan was worried that he hurt him somehow. Sora came
up sputtering.

"Y-yeah. That was awesome. I've never had that much fun bathing myself."
Evan blushed, staring deeply into Sora's eyes.

They stared at each other for a while, moving closer and closer.  The
surrounding sounds of the falls and forest seemed to dissipate like a
fading echo.  It was a perfect moment. The boys leaned in, closed their
eyes and placed their arms around each other's bodies, shutting everything
else out.  To them, the world had suddenly stood still, time froze as if a
blink were an eternity.  Just when they were about to have that first
perfect kiss, a loud crashing sound came from bushes.
