Look who is finally emerging

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[Here is a Ri. He is quite thoroughly washing his hands and arms in a bathroom sink, and probably has been for quite some time, if the empty soap bottle is anything to go by. Why don't you make some small talk with him to get his mind off things? Or you can just tell him you want in on the revenge action.]

[just.. sighs, and carefully dries your hands for you then]

You aren't responsible for the things he does, Ri.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I could've stopped him earlier!

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

So could I, Ri. You're not the only one who knows what sort of person he is.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*m-might be leaning on you now*

... still...

ps you can skip marly in the other thread

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[tugs you to turn around toward him, pulling you into a hug]

No. It isn't anyone's fault, Ri, not even yours. You take on enough responsibility for people getting hurt as it is, even without him being here.

got it!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*hugs are quite nice right now*

I still feel like I failed somehow...

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[this is a nice tight one, even if it isn't too warm]

You didn't. I don't know how to convince you otherwise, but I wish I did.

*that's okay you're nice and familiar and that's what matters; he will just be clinging to you in a moment of weakness*

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[it's okay to be weak sometimes. you get some nuzzling, and a hand petting your hair]

You have no idea how much of a hero you are, do you?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*snorts*

I'm no hero. That's you and Sora.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[smiles, and leans in to give you a kiss]</small And who is it that keeps an eye on half the kids in this place, who teaches people how to defend themselves? Who watches over both me and Sora when he thinks we're asleep?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

... those aren't hero-ish things.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the way Sorabug looks at you? Or any of the other children for that matter? Not just the children, either. Who is it that's always watching my back, hm? You look out for so many people, yet you still manage to be there when I need you.

*shakes his head, feeling embarrassed*

... t-that's nothing, Riku. I do that stuff every day.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

Are you saying it doesn't make a difference in people's lives?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well, but it's not heroic! It's just common sense stuff.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess if it's not heroic, you don't deserve a reward after all~

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

Who would give me a reward for being normal?

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

Me, you goofball.

[tweaks your hair]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*bats at your hand to keep you away from his ponytail*

Must not be that cool of a reward then.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

Guess I won't even tell you what it was gonna be then.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Hey! That's not fair!

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

Well, if you don't want it~

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I didn't say that!

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

First you have to admit something. Repeat after me: Sometimes bad things happen. It's not my fault.
