[ riku's got a gun, though it hardly looks lethal, if the neon colors have anything to say about that. ]

Hmm.

[ loads a dart in it, and takes aim across the room. ]

I smile sometimes.

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. Not often.

[twists around, setting everything down and reaching out with both hands. thumbs press against the corners of riku's mouth, drawing out and up and into some ridiculous, forced, silly-looking smile. roxas just laughs.]

[ it may look like a smile to him, but riku's eyes just look mortified. guess that's one way of making it happen ... ]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Mmph.

[ doesn't have the heart to fend him off. besides, laughing twice in one day? this must be some kind of new record. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

Actually, when you do that with your eyes, you just look crazy.

[lets his hands fall away.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ rubs the side of his face. ]

You're the crazy one here ...

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[his lips part as if he's about to say something, but nothing comes out. he just swallows, glances away, and turns back around.]

...

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ can't believe he still has to clarify these things. ]

Joke, it's a joke ...

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[nods, picking the scissors back up and forcing a half smile.]

Yeah. Good one.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

You're so serious.

[ tries to make it a casual comment, nudging. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

I just-

[told you about how I tried to kill myself, twice. I'm not gonna be all smiles after-]

... puked like twenty minutes ago. You've got to give me some time to recover, smiley.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Didn't know "crazy" was a big insult nowadays ...

[ furrows his brow, pushing it into his shoulder again. forgive him, he's a little insensitive. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[snip. snip. clip.]

Guess it depends on who you talk to.

[or who you're talking about, especially if that happens to be someone who just told you he wanted to kill himself because he thought he was insane. but what are details?]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

... sorry.

[ he's still clueless when it comes to these small details, but the apology sounds sincere enough. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[shrugs. oh, fancy; rounded corners!]

Don't worry about it.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ he may not be worried, but he's practically draping himself off of roxas, anyway. good work, riku. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

... You're really warm.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Mm.

[ only half-listening. ]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

... [ maybe it's riku's turn to tell spontaneous and serious stories. ]

You know, when Kairi came onto me before sophomore year started, I thought she'd had the wrong guy.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

She knew me and Sora at the same time, and I kept talking him up like he was the greatest guy on the planet - not that he wasn't, you know - 'cause I'd know him for so long. I thought he had a thing for her.

I still don't know why she bothered, but she was the one who showed me all the motions.

[ boyfriend training 101 ... oh, she took that so seriously. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[pauses.]

Motions?

[could be two different things and roxas isn't about to make assumptions.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Being a gentleman, the whole nine yards.

[ oh, there was plenty of that, though that's not what he's going into right now. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

I take it you didn't listen to a word she said.

[teasing. just teasing.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ wait, roxas wouldn't go out of his way to hit him that below the belt ... would he?

now he knows what tasting his own medicine is like. ]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

... ... [ lets the moment pass before he can continue, swallowing. apparently that rubbed him way more wrongly than it should. it's been almost three years by now, get over it. ]
