you can't fake this, only imitate this. (you wanna lose control).

[for once, he hasn't been playing the hero. he's settled for the quieter life of passing the days with his Sora by his side. baking cookies, reading books, swimming or simply basking in the garden -- it's been nice. but he's got an itch he can't scratch, the urge to fight, to get hurt, to stand up for someone... it's lurking and eager to come out and play]

((ooc: feel free to throw anyone at him~))

it's the good times, keeping me alive~

[connatus.livejournal.com]

[don't mind this one, dancing down the hall on his way back to his room, headphones resting over his ears.]

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[quirks an eyebrow. looks like his Sora... but he's pretty sure he's not]

[connatus.livejournal.com]

[he's not much of a dancer, so he's just swaying his hips and spinning around.. until he gets dizzy and trips over his own feet, falling to his hands and knees.]

W-whoa.

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[goes over to the brunette, crouching with a worried look on his face]

Are you okay?

[connatus.livejournal.com]

[hardly hears him over his music, but he looks up and blinks, embarrassed.]

Huh? O-oh. I'm okay!

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[tugs off a headphone, still worried~]

Are you sure?

[connatus.livejournal.com]

[draws back juuust slightly when Riku reaches for a headphone.]

Y-yep. Just.. got a little dizzy, that's all.

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[notices the itty bitty flinch]

I'm not going to hurt you...

[connatus.livejournal.com]

[reaches up to pulls his headphones off completely. he tries to give a reassuring smile.]

I-I know.

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[smiles right back, brushing his hair out of his face]

Since we haven't met, I'm Riku.

[connatus.livejournal.com]

[Riku. Another person he's never known before the dressingroom. he gets to his feet and rubs his knees with one hand, headphones in his other.]

I-I'm Sora. But...I think you might already know that.

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[nods with a smile]

I have a Sora of my own.

[and then he's eying those knees]

You sure you're alright?

[connatus.livejournal.com]

[maybe it's the Sora he met! probably not. he stops rubbing his knees and puts his headphones around his neck.]

It's just rugburn. I've had much worse.

[vague enough to keep from rising suspicion.]

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[arches an eyebrow]

I'm sorry to hear that, little one.

[connatus.livejournal.com]

[blinks twice.]

Don't be sorry! I-I'm just..clumy.

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[certainly doesn't sound like it, but he'll let it slide. as an abuse victim himself, he's not dumb]

I used to be pretty clumsy myself.

[connatus.livejournal.com]

[he smiles faintly, letting go of his headphones with one hand so he can rub the back of his head.]

I fall over a lot. ..Like just now!

[it's not entirely a lie. nine times out of ten he ends up on the floor when he's 'clumsy'.]

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it, little one.

[yeah, he doesn't believe you. but he knows better than anyone that those who get hit usually aren't going to spill]

[connatus.livejournal.com]

Heh.

[fiddles some more with the headphones when he realizes that the plastic around one earpiece is cracked.]

Crap...crap crap crap.

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[looks over his shoulder to look at the earphones]

I'm sure it can be fixed. Or you can find new ones?

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[skittering across the floor, chasing after that small green frog that he's taking care of. --but he trips, and he falls to the ground hard, breath forced out of his lungs so he ends up coughing. ... Preston, on the other hand, is leaping away.]

O-ow...

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[a little him? now that was something he hadn't seen before. quick on his feet, he catches the frog before coming back to the little Riku, offering him a hand up]

Little one?

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[he's still coughing, rubbing his nose with slight tears in his eyes. you might notice the bright flowers in his hair.]

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[he notices as they're hard to miss. gracefully, he settles onto the floor, pulling the little Riku into his lap, frog still safely held in his other hand. with his free hand, he rubs his back]

I got your frog...

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[he pauses for a minute, looking back at him strangely before taking the small frog into his hands.]

Thanks, mister...

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

[nods with a smile]

Don't you have some place to keep him?

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but he jumped out of his bowl...

[reflecktion.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you should get a bigger bowl?
