overdose;

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[In one of the more secluded corners of the library, someone's sitting at a desk with only a few open books. There's a small bottle of something sitting in front of him, and a syringe laid next to it- he seems to be stuck, trying to figure out what to do next. Then again, he's been sitting there thinking for the past ten minutes.]

...Guess so.

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

But anyway, I'm not your friend just because I'm the younger you's friend.

And you're being stupid.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Well that's news to him.]

...Why then, if I may be so bold?

A-and no I'm not.

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

Uh, because I like hanging out with you and think you're a pretty cool guy? Duh.

And you so are. Look what you were about to do.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Looks away, a bit embarrassed he didn't figure that out on his own.]

...Oh.

You think I'm stupid enough to do that without reasons?

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

I think you're stupid for doing it at all. I bet- I bet you didn't even think your friends could help you with whatever's wrong, did you?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

O-of course you can't help. It's all because of circumstance and bad luck anyway. Or maybe the room's messing again. Can't tell anymore.

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

You can't know that no one would be able to help if you don't tell anyone.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Unless you can see sadists coming before they decide that I look like entertainment, you can't help.

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

[...snap.]

Riku, what happened?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...I told you. A lot of things happened.

[Which is true.]

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

Tell me something?

[pleading look.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

You can't do anything about it now anyway. Why do you want to know so bad?

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

Because I want to know what's upsetting you so much you'd consider this!

[can't actually bring himself to say what 'this' is, like that'd change the fact that it almost happened.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

It's nothing that hadn't happened before the dressing room.

[More bits of truth. Unfortunate truth, but still.]

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

[tries to work out what that means.]

You don't mean... Ansem?

[Sora's smart when he needs to be. Meanwhile, Riku will keep his gaze down and to the side. Last thing he needs is to make eye contact. He does make an affirmative noise though.]
