[ 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. ]

[ it's beginning to look like a lost cause for today. ]

[ takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. this isn't really worth getting worked up, given the circumstances. ]

[soon, he's nudging the door to their room open, switching the light on and shuffling over to the closet. he digs around for something in the back, and comes back out with a rather thick photo album (probably one of many).]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ he'd normally make some sort of remark, but even riku can understand that now isn't the time & place for that. ]

[ takes it quietly, unsure of whether he should simply go or spend a moment flipping through it for the sake of things. ]

[meanwhile, roxas spins the desk chair around and straddles it backwards, arms crossed over the back.]

... Most of the ones of him are in the back.

[along with the ones he's taken of riku. normally, he'd be embarrassed about it, but he's not really too concerned about it right now.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Oh, I thought the album ...

[ trails off, opening it up to have a look-through nonetheless. he'll make a mental note about those other photos; that's a concern for another day, though. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

No. I don't have enough pictures of him to fill an entire album. Surprisingly.

[the first third of the album is full of random shots of random people from the dressing room. other roxas, younger soras, and even some rikus (though there are considerably less). snapshots of different objects - lamps, shoes, plants, entire rooms - from strange angles, and so on. the rest of the photos consist of a brunette in all different kinds of skirts and dresses and lacy tops (most of the pictures are candid, but a good portion of them are posed, too), and a stubborn guy that looks suspiciously like riku. oh wait.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

... exactly the same, huh.

[ not that that's incredibly hard to believe - unless a decade or two went by, neither of them would probably have changed that much, either. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

He seemed really uncertain or... shy, I guess, but other than that...

[leans his chin against his arms.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Hope he doesn't think we hate him.

[ far from that. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

... D'you think he might?

[blinks.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Just a theory. He's got the answers, but if we can't find Sora ...

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

Let's... not think like that, okay?

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Yeah ...

[ too bad riku isn't as much of a positive thinker. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

Don't lose any of those pictures, okay?

[runs his fingers through his hair and rubs the back of his neck, knee bouncing slightly. anxious? maybe.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ as if he'd ever. ]

C-'course not.

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[quiet for a while, thinking and contemplating silently, knee still bouncing up and down. staying behind seemed like a good idea at first, but now--]

I'm coming with you.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Huh? Didn't you want to ...

[ keep surprising him & he won't know what to think at this rate. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

I changed my mind.

[but he's not about to admit that he's afraid riku might disappear like sora did (again) if he goes alone. ... it's a valid thought.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ just. scratches his head. whatever you say, roxas. ]

[introverte-d.livejournal.com]

[takes a minute, but gets up after a deep breath.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ wonders if that's his cue or not, shutting the photo album. riku's got enough material to go off of for now. ]
