[ 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. ]

[ 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.

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. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head. it's too much to think about.]

But maybe you are right. Maybe I was just seeing things.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Who knows with this place. Had a talking mouse invite me back to Disney Castle once.

[ someone hasn't seen a lot of cartoons, apparently. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

... and you accused me of seeking attention.

[a talking mouse seems less likely than a sora in a skirt, in his opinion.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ low blow, there. ]

H-hey, I didn't know ...

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

I know. J-just, for future reference ... I wouldn't lie to you about something like that.

[that laying down plan he had earlier is starting to sound really good.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Still sounds like some cruel joke. Not from you, just ...

[ clenches his jaw. better stop acting like you're a real winner, riku. ]

I'll let you go.

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

If you still want to look for him, I have a few photos back in the room...

[well, more than a few, but.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Might help.

[ though not likely, but he'll keep that one to himself. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[takes a second to figure out the way back to the room from where they are, then heads out.]
