Work Text:
Riku’s body reminds Kairi of a lovingly sculpted statue. He wasn’t all muscle, like he’d want people to believe. Beneath the flashy threads, he had a teeny bit of fat around his stomach, not to mention a cushy ass to die for. As he stands before her completely nude, hand on his hip, not a hint of blush on his smooth skin, Kairi thinks to herself,
‘He is truly the gods’ finest work.’
Riku waved his hand, “Hellooo? You there, Kairi?”
Kairi giggles, “Sorry, just got a little distracted by the great view.” She punctuates that line with a wink.
“Well, can’t blame you there,” Riku says with a smirk, “they say it's the best view Destiny Island has to offer.”
Kairi crosses her arms and rolls her eyes. She can’t let him know she agrees, or else he’d get an even bigger head, if that were even possible.
Riku scratches at the mess of lavender atop his head, “So are we doing this or not?” he asks. “It’s not like I can’t wash my own hair.”
“Be patient, will you?” Kairi kneels to dip her hand in the large wooden tub that’s running. “It just needs a bit more hot water. But in the meantime…” She starts to tug on the strap of her sundress when Riku clears his throat abruptly.
The boy raises an eyebrow, “Mind if I do the honours?”
Kairi sighs, but it’s not out of exasperation. “Of course not.”
So he walks over to her, slinks an arm around her back, and sluggishly unzips the back of her dress. Kairi shivers, not just at the sudden chill on her backside but at his touch that never failed to excite her. She closes her eyes, gooseflesh spreading across her pale skin as Riku slips his slender fingers under her straps and guides them until the garment falls to her feet. That’s when his eyes widen, betraying his cool exterior. There’s nothing underneath.
Kairi blinks with faux sheepishness, “Notice anything?”
He answers by pulling Kairi in for a possessive kiss, and her knees weaken. She’d love to make out, but there are priorities at stake, so despite her instincts, she pulls back.
“Enough chit chat,” Kairi claps her hands before turning off the faucet for good. “After you!”
Riku chuckles and steps one leg at a time into the tub. Then he extends a hand, “Allow me.”
Kairi takes it, allowing him to guide her into the hot water as if it were a pumpkin carriage. Then she looks at him again, his chest above the clear water- he reminds her of a sea-god. She’s not distracted for long, however. “Turn around,” she orders.
Riku sighs but obeys, rotating with a slight splash and leaning back into his beloved’s chest.
Kairi gathers water in her cupped hands and pours it over his head. Then she retrieves one of the two bottles, the orange one, from the Tub’s corner. It's shampoo of the pawpaw-scented variety, her favourite. She grins when shge images how delectable his mane will smell when she’s through. It will be silky smooth and hydrated, too, not the usual tangled mess she’s been putting up with recently. She eagerly uncaps the bottle, the fragrance already detectable, positions it over his wet hair and squeezes.
“Oh man, it's slimy!” Riku jolts, causing some water to splash over the edge onto the floor below.
“Well, yeah, it's not that crappy three-in-one stuff you’ve been using all these years. This here is premium stuff, so you better hold still so we don't waste any.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Kairi can practically hear him pout, but disregards it. She reaches up and begins to massage the shampoo into his bountiful hair, and by now, the pleasant scent of pawpaw fills both their nostrils.
“Ah…” Riku sighs again, blissfully this time as he relaxes into the massage.
“Enjoying yourself there, Riku?”
“Mm…Maybe a little…” he answers sleepily.
“Don’t get too comfy,” Kairi chastises, “Can you rinse for me?”
“Anything for you, princess,” Riku replies with playful grandeur. He pinches his nose and dunks his head underwater. The best swimmer among the Destiny Island youngsters, he’s able to remain there for quite some time before coming up, the water now cloudy with shampoo in his wake.
Now for the second bottle, a pink one. She squeezes a small amount into her hands and rubs it all over her boyfriend’s soaked hair.
“Phew!”
Riku cranes his neck, puzzled, “What else?”
“That’s it,” Kairi explains, “conditioner is the last step, and we don't rinse this one out. It stays in and keeps your hair from tangling.”
Riku pouts.
Kairi raises an eyebrow, “What’s the matter? Were you enjoying yourself?” She doesn’t say it out loud, but with his hair held smooth by the water and product, he looks like a princess himself.
Riku slides forward, out of his girlfriend’s straddle, and turns to face her from the opposite side of the tub. “Yeah, maybe I was. Think we can stay here a bit longer?”
Kairi leans back “I’d like that, at least until the water cools”
“You’d like that, huh?” Riku teases. He’s crawling forward now, with that look in his eyes. He closes the distance between them.
She melts into him, wrapping her arms around his neck and sliding down even further so only her neck is above the bathwater. She feels him growing against her leg.
Kairi pulls back, “Are you happy to see me, Riku?”
Resting his head on her shoulder, he laughs. “Aren't I always?” Then his hand snakes downward to greet her se,x “May I?”
Kairi blushes; even now, she gets a little shy asking for things directly. But her childhood friend understands her. He rubs her in slow, rhythmic circles, taking his time, delicate. She can remember, distantly, when she feared this kind of touch from someone else. But Riku is was so patient, so gentle once you really knew him. There was never a second she didn’t feel safe.
“Oh Riku…”
It was wonderful, especially when he reaches her button, side to side, up and down, his strokes perfect. Kairi fully relaxes, riding out the next few minutes until she finishes with a long exhale.
Riku kisses her, “Anything for you, princess.” He says again, more sincerely this time.
“You’re amazing.”
“Yeah…I know,” he shoots her a cheesy wink, but no matter what, Kairi never gets tired of this. “So how often can we do this hair washing thing?”
Kairi purses her lips, “About once a week, I reckon?”
Riku pouts again.
