[Now that all the fun body switching is over, things are going back to normal. But going from having no heart for days to suddenly having one again is like a rush of emotions, and those emotions just happen to be a whole lot of guilt, sadness, and self-hatred. It's all too overwhelming, and it's left him sitting in some hallway with his head in his arms. He might be shaking slightly if you look close enough, but you may want to just steer clear.]

[draw back just enough to press a soft kiss to his forehead.]

And I'm not walking away this time.

[just shifts to lean against him, snuggling close.]

D'you think... you could tell me more about it? Not necessarily right now, but... eventually.

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

[to-rain.livejournal.com]

There's... there has to be more to it than what you said.

[because it'd hurt a lot more if there wasn't.]

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

I'll try to explain everything I can.

[to-rain.livejournal.com]

[sends him a small, grateful smile.]

I promise not to say a word until you're done.

...It started around New Years, with those spells going around. Sora was hanging around with a blindfold on, and he was being ridiculous about it, so I pulled it off. He saw me, and that triggered the stupid love arrow I guess. I-it was my fault for what happened that time- I told him if it were me, I would just take what I wanted, and I sort of baited him into uh, the first time.

[listens quietly, refraining from making any comments, though hearing that last bit, she's not as surprised as she thought she'd be.]

The next time I saw him, he was pretty beat up. Some damn Saix has been hassling him, though he wouldn't tell me that. I helped him to the bathroom and brought him a couple potions. He asked me after that what I wanted to do, I said I didn't know. He could... kind of tell that I hadn't bee able to stop thinking about the last time for some reason, and things just sort of... got out of hand.

[she'd... possibly feel better knowing there were feelings behind what he'd done. as it is, she's just taking this all in with a quiet frown.]

Riku...

[sighs, taking one of his hands and lacing it with hers.]

I still forgive you. Thank you for telling me.

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

...Did you forget your reason?

[to-rain.livejournal.com]

[blinks at him. more like the mun doesn't know/remember/whatever.]

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

Before. I said I... didn't understand why and you said it would sound weird coming from a kid.

[to-rain.livejournal.com]

[takes a deep breath.]

Riku, short of attempting to kill me, there is very little you could do that would make me stop caring for you. Even if for some reason you hurt me on purpose... I'd still love you, regardless. So even if it hurts a little still, you've explained and I don't think it's so bad, so I forgive you.

...You sure you're not a Princess of Heart and you're just not telling me?

[to-rain.livejournal.com]

[she can't help but laughs quietly at that, shaking her head.]

No princesses here.

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

Maybe not.

[to-rain.livejournal.com]

I don't think I really fit the princess mold.

[turns to give him a proper kiss.]

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

You don't think so?

[to-rain.livejournal.com]

[shakes her head slightly.]

Not really.
