Riku?

... we need to talk.

[he's not looking so happy right now.]

... hm?

[glances up, right on his way to drop off his laundry.]

[there's this awful feeling inside of him, and he can't pinpoint it just yet.]

Do you.. like someone else? At all?

[silence. at least, for a while, until he glances away.]

Not really.

... not really?

[isn't exactly 'no'.]

[softly sighs.]

Depends on what you mean by 'like'. There's three people in this room I regularly talk to, who I consider to be my friends. I don't really know if I like them like them until it's too late, usually.

[after all, look how this turned out, he wants to say, but he keeps that comment out of the discussion.]

Ah.

[left out comment or not, it's still a paranoia gnawing at him now.]

Right.

I'm pretty sure that at this moment, at this time, there's no one else I'm more focused on then you, though.

[adds that after a moment of silent thought. moves the basket onto his hip.]

Why the question?

Just wondering.

[he says dully, shrugging one shoulder.]

I mean. What if ...

[raises an eyebrow. the hand motion he's making--'go on'.]

What if you decided tomorrow, that you wanted to be focused on someone else? And then it's too late.

[holds his breath.]

[... blink.]

Then I'd live with it? If you're in that situation, just saying it plainly makes it a lot easier than if you said it hypothetically.

So you'd just brush me off for them?

[shake of his head.]

'course not. I'd tell you how I felt. Jumping ship at the first sign of another 'love' is tactless and stringing you along is a horrible thing to do.

[finally smiles a little, stepping close enough to lean against his side.]

'love you.

[damn is he confused, but he'll let it go for a moment, kissing his forehead.]

... love you too.

I'm just trying to make sure this isn't completely worthless.

[lowers his head a little.]

I love you, I really do, but sometimes when you're not around and I'm laying down, I can't help but wonder if you found someone better yet.

[small sigh. there goes his basket--he just drops it, ignoring the spilled clothes to wrap his arms around his shoulders.]

I am not going to find anyone better. If anything, it'll just be someone different. I don't see anything wrong with you that would make you worse than someone. Everyone has their issues.

Besides. I'm Mr. Antisocial. I hang around the same three people.

[settles his hands on Riku's hips, nuzzling at his cheek.]

I know, I know ... it's a habit I can't bite sometimes, but it's easier to shut my thoughts up when I hear you say things like that.

[chuckles softly and brushes his fingers across Roxas' cheek.]

Mm. I'll keep saying them, then.

[reaches up to catch his hand, lacing his fingers through with his palm over the back. lightly, he presses his lips to Riku's own palm, trailing a chain of kisses down to his wrist. when he presses for the last time, his eyes flick over to Riku's.]

[he's smiling softly, leaning forwards to press their foreheads together.]

[tucks Riku's palm against his heart while he presses a tiny kiss to his lips, content.]

Glad you're smiling again.

[he murmurs before pulling away slightly.]

I'm glad this doesn't have to end when I don't want it to.

[gives him a peck on the cheek.]

An older version of a boy I know came her a day or so ago. He wants to show us to a place here where we can fish.

Fish? I'm good at that.

[small smile.]
