It's the New Year's tradition. Apparently anyways. Riku isn't exactly familiar with it, but he spent most of his childhood dreaming about far away worlds. Of sword fighting and adventuring.

He looks around, and Sora's the only one out the group he'd want to kiss. Which, no offense to the rest of Restoration committee, but he's caught himself thinking about kissing Sora a couple times, and this seems to be a good enough excuse to act on it.

"Hey, Sora," he said as he stepped closer to his friend and the count down to the new year started. Ten seconds to go. "Happy New Year." And when Yuffie yelled 'Zero!' he leaned down and lightly placed his lips on Sora's.
