How Convoluted..

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

[If you pass down this hall in particular, you might hear two people arguing. The door was just barely cracked, but enough to see inside. "Ansem" pacing back and forward in front of a tall mirror, and Xehanorts Heartless in said mirror... How convoluted. ]

If you would just...let me in again, you will see that life would be much easier for you, Riku.

Just...Shut up!

[Sora was a stubborn one, he let Kai walk down the hall to find the other with the boy close on his dog's heels-er..paws.
His ears twitching slightly from the familiar voice, he in the middle of the hall to figure out the user of said voice. But before that he commanded Kai to sit and wait like a good boy, walking quietly to the door where the volume rose. He wasn't focused on the sentence so he was a bit confused when he knelt down to peek in with one eye open to see who it was. As suspected, Riku. But...was that..just a figment of his imagination or was Ansem really in the mirror?]

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

[Oh he was there, being an ass... And it was obvious that Riku was being rubbed the wrong way. ]

Why do you resist me? Why Riku? Why? I am not a bad person... I just want what I want, and what I want is you.

Bull-shit.

Come now, my little Riku. You know you mean so much to me, otherwise I would have chosen someone else... But it is you that i desire. You are special..

[Kai growled low from the atmosphere, trying to warn his master. Of course, all Sora wanted was for the dog to be quiet and not come any closer. His friend did the exact opposite, running to his side with the pitter patter of paws against the floorboards of the hallway.
He quickly tried to Shh the canine, holding a finger over his own mouth as a sign.]

Sh.

[He peered back inside, chewing on his lowerlip. He'd have to do something sooner or later, Ansem was a great manipulator...How about a knock on the door?]

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

[Knock or not, Xehanort's Heartless heard, and so did Riku. Both almost instantly turned at the slightest sound, the image in the mirror disappeared. ]

... Sora?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

.....Can I come in?

[He made sure he was behind the door to hide himself, hoping Riku didn't think he saw anything.]

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

...

[He was hesitant. Ansem still had the upper hand. He just wasn't safe to be around. ]

...no.Yes. [You might have heard the no, but you definitely could hear the yes. ]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

..k.

[He heard both, but the yes was the loudest-so he'll just come in then. Letting his dog wait outside while he shut the door. He didn't want Kai howling up a storm or anything.]

A-Are you alright?

[He'll try to seem casual, walking over to the mirror with a smile before pressing his hand against it. Was it like a magic mirror or something? His eyes must have been playing tricks on him..]

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

... I don't know.

[He sort of sighed, running his hand through his hair. ]

I just... I don't know.

[Well, there you go. Hows that for an answer? ]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Riku....what's wrong?

[Hold on-he's still inspecting the mirror. Trying to see if there was a hole behind it or some secret passage. Alright, it seemed fine so he'll turn around and press his back against it while looking to Riku with worry shown clear on his face.]

Come on, you can talk to me..

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

[The moment you turned your back on it, there he was again. Just smirking... And Riku visibly twitched... Ansem was saying things, he could read his lips, and it was sitting well with Riku at all. ]

... He's there. [Just more in his face than usual, but if you turn around, that image would disappear. ]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[He tilts his head, turning around to see his reflection stare back at him in confusion. He leaned back against the mirror again, shaking his head.]

What do you mean he's there?

[A light would go off right about now above Sora's head with a question mark.]

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

He's just...everywhere. It's getting worse. I can't even close my eyes. Every time I blink he is just...there.

[Either Riku was getting weaker, or Ansem was getting stronger. It was never this bad on the island. ]

I'm losing it Sora... I'm losing it. [Oh, and there's Riku again. ]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

...Riku.

[Here, let him help. He didn't know what he could do or what the best solution was. But for now Sora walked over to embrace the other, kissing Riku's temple.]

It'll be okay. You're not losing it, he's playing tricks on you..Don't let him get to you. I-I saw him in the mirror when I was outside the door, it's not just you..

*y helo thar*

... what's going on here?

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

Such a nosy little boy.

[There goes the reflection in the mirror, disappearing, sort of leaving Riku alone once more. And oh, you, hello. ]

..N-Nothing.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*just barging in lolz, looking around the room*

You sure? It sounded like you were arguing with someone.

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

No. It was nothing.

[He sort of felt obligated to act strong in front of you Ri. :| So he straightens up a bit. ]

I was just..talking to myself.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I do that sometimes. No harm in it. Sometimes I forget to do certain things until I remind myself.

*scratches his cheek in an embarrassed way; feel free to notice that he has apparently forgotten to put on any other clothes than a pair of sweatpants.

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

[Er, sure, he'll notice that right about.. ]

...Going jogging?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he blinks at you*

Huh?

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

[Points at said sweatpants... Or was Riku the only one who went jogging in sweatpants? Maybe.. ]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*looks down, then blushes, the pink color spreading down his face and neck*

... oops. I was having a lazy day today.

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

We...are all entitled to those.

[Small hitch in his speech, it looks like his holding onto his chest as he winces a bit, but he forces it down for now.. ]

How is your family? [Yes..chit chat..chit chat made him go away.. ]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he frowns a bit when he sees you do that*

We're doing good. Sorabug... is going through a bit of a rough patch, but I'm hoping that resolves well.

[iwuzansem.livejournal.com]

Well...If he is anything like...well, Sora's seem to be, than I am sure he will.

[Oh, speaking of Soras... ]

I met uhm... A Sora. He had different colored eyes.
