History HoYay / KingdomHearts

* In general, you'd think popular ships like Sora x Riku, Axel x Roxas, etc, ''were'' canon, given the chemistry between the males and the screen time they share, while most of the female characters are off in the background. Unfortunately, this isn't a BL series, so don't expect anything to come of the Ho Yay.

* Then there's the fact that in VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII, Sora's Limit with [[TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]] is a ''dance number''. That's right, Sora has HoYay with a ''[[{{Squick}} skeleton]]''.

** Or this.
---> '''Axel:''' "Go on, you just keep on running. But I'll always be there to bring you back!"

*** Only because for Kairi he knew she was safe in Destiny Islands (until Axel kidnapped her), but for Riku there was barely ''any'' news ever since the end of KingdomHeartsI. ''Of course'' Sora would worry about him much more.

** You can watch the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o9zD9b-OmU whole scene here]] (SPOILERS). When Sora finds Riku he drops to his knees HOLDING HIS HAND, almost crying! "Oh i looked everywhere for you!" Now, when Sora finds Kairi, he just greets her and then she throws herself on his arms. What does Sora do? He gives an awkward and hesitant hug. That's not even HoYay, it's downright gay! They didn't even try to hide it or make it subtle.

* Oh, and then there's Seifer's "Isn't this ROMANTIC!?" line, in battle against Roxas or Sora.

** There's even some mild HoYay between Setzer and Roxas at the beginning of ''KingdomHearts II''. Just ''how'' were you planning to make it worth my while, Setzer?

--->'''Sora:''' "Axel? What were you trying to do?\\
'''Axel:''' I wanted to see Roxas. He was the only one I liked. He made me feel...like I had a heart."

--->'''Roxas:''' "No one would miss me.\\
'''Axel:''' That's not true! (quietly) I would..."

* YMX seems quite amused/pleased at the thought of Sora thinking he is part of Sora's dream, and right before Sora[[spoiler: falls into a coma from submitting to the darkness]] he leans in rather suggestively... Heck, that scene has rape-y tones in general.

* Yet again, this can be summed up with "It's ''FinalFantasy''". That is all.

** In the first game's intro, the lyrics "Don't get me wrong I love you" play with Sora and ''Riku'' on screen.
** Also in the first game, Riku gets [[FaceHeelTurn pretty mad]] when he thinks Sora has "dumped" him for Donald and Goofy. Sure, it's technically a [[HeterosexualLifePartners friendship thing]], but there are [[YaoiFangirl some]] who look at it differently...
** But even they pale in comparison to Axel and Roxas' subtext-that-might-as-well-be-text in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''358/2 Days'' (very chiefly on Axel's part in both cases, as Roxas is shown to be too naive to fully grasp the idea of love). Then there's the hintings of Axel having some kind of deep relationship with [[spoiler: Saix before they both become Nobodies.]] Axel will do anything to save Roxas in [=KH2=], even going against the Organization and [[spoiler: performing a suicide attack to save him.]]

-->'''Sora:''' "Axel? What were you trying to do?\\

-->'''Roxas:''' "No one would miss me.\\

** Oh, and then there's Seifer's "Isn't this ROMANTIC!?" line, in battle against Roxas or Sora.
** Terra and Ven in ''Birth By Sleep'' also qualify here, especially from Ven's side.
** Probably the biggest amount of consistant HoYay, (throughout the Re: Chain Of Memories, and with the most questionable dialogue,) was between Sora and Replica Riku. [[FanNickname Repliku]] kept acting like some sort of heart broken lover in regards to Sora, using phrases like, ''"You never cared about me!"'' and ''"You're only ever worried about '''her'''!"'' It's a big {{Flanderization}} of Riku's FoeYay with Sora in the first game. The pinacle of this pure [[HoYay Yaoi Fodder]] was this little exchange.

** Aqua in ''Birth by Sleep'' manages to have this with Cinderella, by taking the man's place in the scene where, in the movie, the Duke takes her hand and guides her to a chair. Then by shielding her with her body when they're attacked. Then by helping her up with a lingering hand on her ass.

** Then there's the fact that in VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII, Sora's Limit with [[TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]] is a ''dance number''. That's right, Sora has HoYay with a ''[[{{Squick}} skeleton]]''.
** The HoYay continues in ''Dream Drop Distance'', as [[spoiler: Riku ''subconsciously'' dives into Sora's dreams to protect him from darkness's influence.]] Doesn't help that the two constantly reference each other.
*** Some of Mickey's comments add to this:

** [[spoiler: Lea's]] first thought after he wakes up is understandably "Where...what happened to me?" His second thought, though, is "Roxas?" Priorities, everyone.

*** Let's face it, 3D ''really'' played up Sora and Riku's "bromance" for all it was worth. Especially Riku's speech before [[spoiler: he dives into Sora's dream the second time]].

** [[spoiler: Lea's]] first thought after he wakes up is understandably "Where...what happened to me?" His second thought, though, is "Roxas?" Priorities, everyone.
