[ not everyone's got an exciting agenda ... riku's managed to corner himself a loveseat near a large tv, & with a lack of anything better to do, he's been watching the better half of a football game. ]

[ however, it's an uphill battle for both teams, so it's hardly holding his interest. by the third quarter he's resorted to rolling on his stomach, watching everyone go by (what, you don't like sports?) or whipping out a cell phone he's managed to keep hanging on to. ]

... [ unfortunately, sending texts still doesn't work. ]

Hm.

[after a beat, he starts down the hall to find a bathroom so he can wash his hands.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ oh, no. anything but the silent treatment. ]

Roxas--

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[continues-- oh, hey. bathroom. he answers just before turning in, keeping the door half way open.]

What?

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ that's when he realizes he didn't have much to say aside from the obvious, so he stands there rubbing the back of his neck. ]

... uh, nothing.

[ except, you know, ohjeezsortainaskirtwhat. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[he really has nothing else to say to him, anyway]

[falls silent and turns the sink on.]

...

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ drums his fingers on the wall. maybe he should just go, let it blow over until roxas can reprimand him later or something, the poor guy ... ]

... maybe you were seeing things.

[ good work, riku. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[licks at his back molars the way most people do when they can't believe something, huffing out a breath. he soaps up his hands, rinses, dries them, and then shuts the faucet off before pushing past riku without even a sideways glance.]

Yeah. Maybe.

[boy, was that convincing.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Maybe he's shy, maybe he doesn't remember--

[ that probably wasn't a good thing to say, either. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[that stops him in his tracks, if only for a few seconds.]

--... Me? That's what you were going to say, right: 'maybe he doesn't remember you'. Well, maybe you're right. I don't see why he should.

[ drama drama drama. but he's touchy when it comes to... all things sora. either way, he doesn't feel much like sticking around.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ opens & shuts his mouth, scrambling for an easy fix. for once, that wasn't what he was trying to imply. ]

I was gonna say "being here", but ... ...

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

But if that was true then he wouldn't have asked about you.

[mutters more than anything, suddenly feeling exhausted.]

Just- just forget about it, okay? I don't want to talk about this anymore.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Look, I'm sorry. But he just .... left, so ...

[ at least that's what riku thought. hard to tell when you've got no way out in a room full of clones & the weirdest people around. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[just nods. he hasn't got much else to say.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ doesn't. really. know how to be reassuring in this scenario, lifting a hand & lowering it back down clumsily. he can't help but feel a little responsible, what with the poor reaction & all. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

I'm...

[doesn't really know where to look, so he keeps his gaze low, ruffling the hair at the back of his head.]

I'm gonna go lie down for a while. Sorry.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ what's roxas apologizing for? continues to scuff his foot, unsure of what to add. ]

I could ... y'know, look for him or something ...

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

I already spent all of yesterday looking, but if you want...

[shrugs.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Covering extra ground probably wouldn't hurt, right-?

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

R-right. Yeah.

1/2

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

I'll grab a photo, or something. Maybe if we can get a shot of him, we'll--

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

... [ stops in his tracks. wow, how ridiculous do they sound right now? ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[passes a hand over his face with a heavy sigh.]

D'you honestly think flashing a picture of him around is going to help at all? I looked everywhere-- I mean, I left him for two seconds to get something from inside the dark room, and when I came back, he was gone. No sign of him anywhere. ... It's just like last time.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

I 'dunno. Maybe he's taller, fatter ...

[ frowns. all this for just one skirt-wearing boy. ]

He can't be asking about us for no reason.

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[almost points out that he wasn't asking about 'us', but that's just going to make him feel even more shitty, so he just pretends like it's true.]

No. He's... exactly the same.

[he'll just leave out the part where he's more beautiful than ever, because it'd make him "sound like a total fag".]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

... weird.

[ now riku's sidetracked on the hows & whys of the whole thing. ]
