Author's Notes: I am in the very slow process of writing a much larger fic using this fragment in it. The idea came to me one day, and I couldn't help myself. Besides, someone other than me has had to wonder what exactly mystery goo is, right? Right? Anyone?
Rating: PG-13.
Pairing: None?
Written: 2003
"What's this?"
"Hmmm?" Riku replied as he turned his head to see what Sora was talking about. Sora wasn't looking at him. Instead he was kneeling down to retrieve something that vageuly gleamed on the ground. The sight of the small vial in his friend's hand as Sora stood made Riku freeze. "Sora..."
Not waiting to hear his friend's explanation, Sora uncapped the small vial and poured a small amount of the thick liquid onto his fingers. It was slippery. Sora then brought his fingers to his nose and took a cautious sniff. "Hey! I remember this. It's Mystery Goo. Where did you find Mystery Goo out here in the middle of nowhere?"
"That's..." Riku started to correct Sora, then stopped himself. If Sora didn't know, he did not want to be the one to explain the intimacies of lube and masturbation to Sora. "... Mystery Goo. You can get it from a specialty store. That is, if you know where to look."
"Really? I took me forever to get this stuff from the white mushrooms. I wish I'd known you could buy it. I wonder if any of the stores in Traverse Town carried it?"
Riku shrugged in response. "I don't know. Maybe you weren't looking hard enough. Remind me to show you where to find it one day." Like when you show an actual interest in sex. I'll be more than happy to show you it then.
Sora gave the vial one last look before restoppering it and handing it back to his friend. "Come on, Sora. Let's go find Kairi."
"Okay, race you to her."
"You're on." Riku let out a mental sigh of relief as he raced ahead of Sora. Sometimes he was eternally grateful that Sora was so easily distracted.
