and you wait;

[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.]

[He winced from just the sight of Riku's face, shriveling up like he'd just been struck.]

I-I'm sorry...I just.....s-she shouldn't be mad at you..she s-should be mad at me. R-Riku I'm so sorry..

R-Riku look at me...

[He grasped Riku's face to bring it out from within those arms to look at the other with concerned orbs, wiping away some of the stray tears with his thumb.]

You can't just..take all of the blame. It's not your fault, i-it's mine.

[If he had been more careful with the blindfold or refused Riku then maybe none of this would have happened..]

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

No, i-it's not. I caused it, I put myself in this situation. And I d-don't deserve...

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

You didn't cause it, the spell did and you deserve everything Riku. My God, I wish you could realize that...you deserve her.

[His voice was soft and sincere and if Riku couldn't tell from words then the man would have to tell from Sora's eyes because he meant it.]

Yes you do...Why can't you see that?

[He knew he shouldn't, but he pressed a kiss to Riku's forehead to hopefully calm the other down. He remembered his friends doing that for him when he was scared and it usually helped.]

[He saw the ounce of relief, erasing the last of Riku's tears from the other's face before he slid away to give the other space. Sora took the 'avoiding eye-contact' as a signal to back off because you disgust me kind of way, so he did and just chewed on his lower lip through the silence.]

.....S-Sorry.

[He never felt like he deserved anyone, so of course he wouldn't really get it. But he took in the statement, nodding his head.]

I-I know, I understand.

[And he did, even though it pained him to realize it.]

B-But we can still be friends...right?

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

O-Okay.

[He threw on a smile, hoping it didn't seem too fake before he nodded right back.]

S-Sounds good, just glad things can ugh..go back to the way they were before.

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

...Who said things would do that?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[His plastered smile falted a bit from that, trying to fix it with a weak laugh.]

W-Well I-I guess not completely back to normal, b-but somewhat?

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, you're right.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Y-Yeah...

[Wow, seems a bit awkward in here and he was running out of responses. Let alone another topic for their conversation.]
