execution.

[... well, he was just going to his room, when he finds a vase of roses right in front of his door.]

Not funny.

[and now he's about to kick it over.]

Comments

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

Roses may have no humor, but that's no reason to kill them.

[oh look, one of the (rather harmless) crazies. it's your lucky day.]

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

[... slowly sighs, to look back at him.]

I don't care. I don't want those flowers anywhere near me.

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

I know how you feel. I'm the same around mirrors.

[w-walks a bit closer, because he has decided to stop hiding from people.]

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

[... actually goes quiet. because no one has understood. they only pity.]

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

So, why roses?

[and if it's too personal, just say so. he won't push the issue.]

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

Do you know a man named Marluxia?

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

I know some.

[can Riku spot the silent "unfortunately" after the sentence?]

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

The one I know captured me so my best friend would work for him.

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[...oh.]

I see why you dislike roses... do you think it was him? That put them there?

[sprayofsea.livejournal.com]

Maybe you just have a terrible sense of humor.

[After all, they're just roses.]

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

[picks up the roses and shoves them in his direction.]

Maybe you could keep comments to yourself.

[sprayofsea.livejournal.com]

I could, but it would make life less interesting.

[Eyes the roses curiously.]

Secret admirer?

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

If they are, they're doing a bad job. I hate roses.

[searches for his key. because he likes privacy.]

[sprayofsea.livejournal.com]

...They're just flowers. No need to be bitter about it.

[Or at least, if he were bitter he'd be acting that way.]

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

I'm not being bitter. I'm allowed to hate what I hate.

[sprayofsea.livejournal.com]

What, have a vase of roses wronged you in the past?

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

[mumbles as he finds his key.]

Not a vase.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[He's diving down to safe those roses, rolling past Riku to stop short with the vase of roses in his arms-safe and sound.]

Don't have to kick them.

[His friend Namine loves to plant, so unfortunately-he was a bit protective over the plants.]

Gosh, didn't know there was a Riku plant-hater.

[Laughs.]

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

[looks at him, before just sighing and searching for his key.]

Whatever.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[He sets the vase down on the floor, tilting his head.]

What's wrong?

[He sincerely doubts that Riku just hates flowers, their has to be a reason for it.]

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

I want to sleep.

[but where is his key.]

Shouldn't've locked my room...

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Kitty ears twitch, twitch.]

...That doesn't make sense. If you were tired you would've just ignored the vase or pushed it to the side.

[Headtilt.]

Why's that?

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

Why are you being nosy?

[his eyes flicker to his ears before he glares. yes, he's shorter than Sora, younger than him and would rather just sleep away the memories in his head thanks to those flowers.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Just curious.

[He's seen younger, it's alright. He won't call Riku a runt or anything.]

[rosewishes.livejournal.com]

Don't be.
