[he actually looks pretty content for once, flipping through an old - upside down - comic book with a pair of headphones sitting comfortably on his ears.

but looks aren't everything.]

Comments

alright then <3

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

I never tried reading upside down.

[quiet, but curious.]

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[lifts one side of his headphones up.]

Hm?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[points to the comic.]

Upside down?

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[glances sideways and oh so smoothly turns it right side up.]

.. oh.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[grins and laughs a little.]

Smooth~.

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[..well now that he's managed to look stupid, there's no point now, so he closes the comic and sets it aside.]

Hush.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[smile eventually fades a bit, and he looks awkward.]

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[..a-awkward silence. he makes a point of looking everywhere but at Sora, fingers playing with the wire to his headphones.]

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[sucks in a breath and goes to sit next to him.]

So?

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[turns his music down a little, trying not to be so awkward. he peeks over at the script.]

..The Lion King?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[small pout.]

I like it.

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[slight smile.]

I know.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[closes his eyes, and nods.]

Yeah. I know you know.

[pauses, and bites his lip.]

Riku, I--...

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[uh oh.]

.. what?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[sucks in a deep breath. he's trying so hard not to let his voice stammer.]

I-I... don't know what to do.

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[exhales, wrapping and unwrapping the cord to his headphones around his fingers.]

Just--... Just do what's best for you.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[squeezes his eyes shut.]

But...

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[runs his fingers through his hair, letting his hand slide down over his face.]

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[stands up.]

I-I'll... I'll try to figure things out.

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[sighs, murmuring against his palm.]

There's nothing to figure out.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head.]

You're wrong. There's plenty.

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[looks up, past the hair in his eyes.]

Like..? Sora, I know I shouldn't have lied, and I can't really explain why I did, but--..

[just..shakes his head.]

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[... leans forwards and presses a small kiss to Riku's forehead.]

I'll explain when I figure it out.

[silverent.livejournal.com]

[his eyes close against the gentle gesture, but he can't really find the words to reply, so he just nods, silent.]
