Summary: It's Christmas Eve and Riku decided to give in and give Sora his present early.
( Tables turned, and I'm the one who's burning now. )
But Sora had never really told him that he found him attractive, before. He had known that there had to be some reason why Sora was with him. Yes, Sora was the type of person to look at what was in someone's heart first, but physical attraction still played a part, right?
But he had changed so much since coming here. His hair was shorter, brushing over his shoulders, the layer's still present even if they were less choppy, bangs pushed off to one side. His ears were pierced and he even had what most would consider a tattoo. And to him those were all things that just added to who he was and how he had changed inside. Even the scars had begun to bother him less over time (It helped that the once angry red and pink skin had started to fade to a lighter pink, and in places, even white, making them less noticeable.)
Yes he still didn't know how to respond. That he looked at himself all the time? That he already knew that people thought he was a catch? All of it seemed so empty. So instead his did the only thing he could think of.
Lifting a hand, he brushed the back of his fingers over Sora's cheek bone, a soft smile crossing his features. "You're beautiful, Sora. Don't you know that?"

Never in his entire lifetime had he ever expected to hear anyone tell him that they thought he was beautiful. Was beautiful even something someone should use to describe him? He just gaped for a moment or two before shaking his head. Yeah, he was definitely blushing. Then, master of words that Sora was, his next coherent words were just pure genius.
"Nu uh! I'm...plain."

To him, Sora was beautiful, on the inside and out. He knew his heart, was connected to it in a way that allowed him to see into it, to know what was there, to have it all laid out before him easily. He was intelligent, if a little naive at times, if a little frustrating at times. But he believed in the good in people. He had believes in the good in him. He was loyal and determined. He was so much that Riku wasn't.
His fingers stroked downwards, coming to cup the other's chin, lifting it lightly. While it was what was on the inside that mattered most, what was on the outside wasn't so bad either. Sure those spikes were a little unusual, but so was Sora, and they matched him and his personality perfectly. And those eyes, that deep, simmering blue, (his favorite color, even if he would never readily admit it. The same color, almost exactly, as the runes on his back.) His features were soft, but they were meant to be.
Everything about Sora was beautiful to Riku. What anyone else might think, what anyone else's opinion might have been, it didn't really matter, because it would never change his.
"You're my light, Sora." The words felt weird on his tongue. He hadn't said them in so long, as least not to the person they were meant for. "And the light is beautiful."

That was the thing about the two of them. They complimented each other well. Sora was optimistic, Riku was better at looking at things from a logical standpoint. While both in extremes could be bad, they balanced each other out. Sora was pretty sure that, as great as he was, Riku could definitely do better. He had been glad to see Riku with Sango when he first got there. Glad, but also a little sad. He didn't understand that last part until later but one thing he thought when he saw the two of them was that they looked good together.
Did people think that about them too? Or was it something that same sex relationships weren't thought of as? He hadn't really met anyone who was against people of the same gender being together here so far, but he was told that some were offended by it. Which he didn't understand but oh well. But none of that really mattered because when Riku spoke next all of those thoughts just went right out the window.
He was pretty sure this was what it felt like for a person when their heart was trying to break out of their chest. Surprisingly it didn't hurt. It was an interesting feeling, one he would be hard pressed to describe if anyone asked him, but it spread through his entire torse and he couldn't help but smile up at Riku and trace his fingers over the back of his hand.
"Riku I..." he just shook his head and leaned forward, wrapping his arms around the other once more, "Okay. As long as you're the one calling me beautiful."

"Who else would be complimenting you like that, huh?" He pulled back, just enough to allow his eyes to meet Sora's, the bright green dancing lightly in the dim light with amusement, clearly showing that he was teasing.
