Kingdom Hearts--Boys

There's this really great fanfic over at the pit (gasp, i know) that I've been enjoying lately. It's so good, in fact, that I had to try and throw together some fanart for it.

Sora's hair is PURE EVIL. Almost more so than Riku's face which just... yeah. First time ever attempting KH fanart, though, so hopefully the next time will be better. For those who haven't heard of the fic:

Title: Boys
Author: Casey V.
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4413465/1/Boys
WARNINGS: Yaoi, mature situations (rated at about R), language.... and yes, it's an AU.

"The world ended on a Monday. No one was particularly surprised by this."



Riku and Sora belong to Squar Enix/Disney/whoever else, but certainly not me
The artwork is mine, though

"So, there was gonna be this big brawl--you know, classic bar fight, broken tables and everything. But the owner--he's a caterpillar, you know--he told them before, if they got in one more fight he'd kick them out and contact the authorities, right?" Sora leaned sideways, elbow propped on his knee and chin in his hand, letting the ladybugs crawl onto his palm and watching them flutter their wings irritably, like they were corroborating his story. "See, Jimbo--he used to get into a lot of trouble. Even went to jail once. And it's not like he meant for any of that to happen, but--it just did, and there were people he had to protect. You know? But that sort of thing just follows you around no matter what, so he had to keep a low profile."

Keep talking, Riku's inner voice murmured, half-caught between paying attention to crimping the ends of his hemp in place and staring at the curve of Sora's neck, how it moved when he spoke and when he breathed. I like your story; I like the sound of your voice.

But Sora fell silent, mouth in a soft line and contemplating the ladybugs as they crawled circles around the circumference of his hand. Back to palm and back again.

He still hadn't spoken by the time Riku had both his jump rings attached, and he was finally able to talk properly while wrangling with the pliers and the lobster clasp. "So, what happened?"

Sora's mouth fell open for a moment before he responded. "I'm not sure."

"Well, Dan's his buddy, right? He'd make sure Jimbo didn't get into any trouble." Riku gave up on the pliers and finished off the jump ring with his teeth, tugging lightly on the clasp to make sure it wouldn't come loose.

"I don't think Dan knows about it," Sora murmured, straightening abruptly and leaning back to release the bugs onto the tree behind him. He looked, if it were possible, even more droopy than he had previously. He collected his backpack with a kind of morose resignation. "Bell's gonna ring."
