scared of the ocean, doubting intentions.

[The sand, the ocean, the sky. What better way to relax?
Sora was sitting along the shoreline, leaning back on his elbows to stare up at the blue sky to admire the color before letting his gaze fall back to watch the calm water create small waves that rolled over one another.]

Wonder where he disappeared to...

['Nox' Riku disappeared somewhere, hadn't seen the other since. But his mind was off somewhere else, trying his best not to worry about the Prince of Darkness so he could soak up the sun's rays while the water ran over his feet.]

Comments

[Sighs, taking the offered hand.]

Generous of you.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Does that surprise you?

[Laughs, pulling Riku to his feet before leading the way out of the beach room. He'll be sure to come back later to actual swim.]

So, chicken noodle soup sound good to you or~?

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

From you, of course not.

[Follows along.]

S'fine.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

..Yeah, of course not.

[Pft. Whatev. Oh hey, the kitchen wasn't that far. He's already going through the cabinets to pull out two cans of soup since Riku was probably starving and he wouldn't mind a little bit himself if Riku couldn't finish it all.]

So, how's Kairi?

[He was facing the other way, ducking down to pull out a pot.]

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

[Plops down in a chair. He's still pretty tired since he's not all the way better yet.]

She's okay. Probably still worrying about me. Why do you ask?

[Sure it was a polite formality, but he feels like there's something Sora's not telling him.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Pours the soup and half a cup of water in the pot.]

N-No reason.

[Shrinks, stirring the soup for a moment before fixing Riku a glass of water to bring over. Riku had to drink more fluids to get better c: ]

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

[Sora's getting that look again.]

How many times do I have to tell you to stop lying?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

....I was just...curious.

[He despisesd that look, it always made him fidget and apologize like mad.]

Sorry, bad habit.

[...]

When you finally stop lying to me too.

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

And what exactly do you think I'm lying about?

D: laaaate </3

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Shrinks.]

...Well, you haven't lied to me lately..B-But you've lied to me in the past!

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

Because I haven't had a reason to lately. You, however, seem to have plenty of reason to lie.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

{N-Not fair.]

....Only a few very very good reasons.

[He'll just glare at the fake crab walking on by.]

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

Like?

[He doesn't appreciate being lied to any more than Sora does.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[...Heh, weird.]

Because it's an embarrassing topic?

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

[Sighs, shaking his head.]

Fine. You know what, nevermind. Keep your stupid secrets.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

...Riku.

[He didn't Riku upset with him. Damn reverse psychology :| ]

It's just that...You asked me what you were to me and with Kairi around..

[He watched the crab scurry along, trying to figure out why he was having such a hard time explaining it all.]

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

[Listens carefully, as if missing any detail could give the wrong message entirely.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Siiiigh.]

B-Basically, I said you were my best friend.

[Mumble, mumble.]

-And I said I was happy that you and Kairi are working out...again.

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

[Somewhat touched by the bff comment, though he's still a little unsure. And you're getting that look now that's awfully hard to lie to.]

Is that really what you mean though?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[....When their eyes locked, he had the most embarrassing shade of red cross his cheeks before he collected himself to have reality strike down his hope.]

...It wouldn't make a difference if I liked you more than a best friend or not..

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

...It might.

[If there's one thing he does keep to himself, it's his own feelings towards other people.]

;D only staying online for you lol

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

...

[He kept opening and closing his mouth while his cheeks got darker and darker.]

B-But Kairi and..!

[Gah!]

aw, I'm touched c:

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

Revealing information about anything makes a difference, Sora.

[Sighs, trying to figure out how to word things.]

...Do you remember what I said before, about you and Kairi?

:3

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Chews on his lower lip.]

Vaguely.

[He did, but he wanted to hear it again.]

[sinfulhavoc.livejournal.com]

[This conversation is getting more and more awkward by the minute.]

I said that... that I wanted both of you. Equally, not one more than the other.
