you build me up you break me down

[It's that time again!

No, really, at least it is for Riku here. He's throwing the last of his laundry in and shutting the door, starting the washer up before having a seat on top of it. Yep, he's down to his boxers again, but nothing bad happened last time he cleaned everything.

At least this time he's got an mp3 player in hand and earphones on, idly bobbing his head to some music.]

[why no, that isn't a pair of glowing blue eyes from the laundry room closet, what are you talking about]

I may be super slow as I'm tagging via DS

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

[He couldn't shake a feeling he was being watched, but with the lights on there wasn't a chance he would note those glowing eyes yet.]

... did your comp go boom @_@

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[...and when those lights suddenly flicker and go out? there's a squeak of a door opening, as once the fuse board is taken out the culprit is getting away from the damning evidence]

... I figured out that my DS works and therefore the laptop has decided to like me again 8|;;;

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

[Are you kidding me?! The washing machine was shorted out too, and he's already jumping off his perch as soon as the lights went out--wait. The hell is the door squeaking for.

Frowns and quickly summons his Keyblade, not caring he's in his underwear.] Who is there. Show yourself.

[the light that the keyblade summoning gave showed a brief moving shadow before it grows dark again- and that would be the sound of the door to the laundry room being blocked off by a washing machine suddenly crashing up against it]

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

[Scowls sharply, he saw that shadow at least and stood ready, calming himself despite the crash of a machine being shoved somewhere. He will not be caught offguard that easily.]

[how calm can Riku be when there's a drawn-out silence?]

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

[Fairly calm, he's steeled himself through the darkness before; why would a dark silent room be any different? His eyes are useless so he has them closed, listening for anything.]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[oh, good. if Riku's eyes are closed, he can't see the almost fluorescent glow of Sora's as he moves closer, barely stirring the air]

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

[Turns once, thinking he felt something off to his left and tightens the grip on his Keyblade.]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[stays just behind him, moving when Riku does]

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

[He has a feeling.. turns sharply and swings at the presence he's sensing.]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[ducks under the blade and lunges back up inside Riku's guard, going right for the neck with a hiss]

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

[That hiss was all he needed to tell him his gut instinct was right and quickly brings up his other arm to guard himself.]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[oh, well. that works too. brb nomming your wrist]

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

[Well something has sharp teeth. Raises his other hand and gives a solid thump to the top of the head of.. whatever it is. In the surprise of guarding himself and being bit, his eyes opened and finally adjusted to the meager lighting in the room--wait, were those glowing blue eyes?]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

Ow!

[that was definitely a Sora's voice, Riku.]

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

Wha-- [The voice almost made him drop his guard entirely; he did lower his weapon though, staring a bit incredulously.] Sora?

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[well... crap.]

Riku?

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

... What are you doing? [The voice reassured him on who this was but when the hell did Sora have such sharp teeth? Dismisses his Keyblade and ruffles his hair, giving a half tug to detatch him from his arm.]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

Uh. Nothing much, how about you?

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

Laundry. Mind explaining this? [His wrist really is bleeding a little here, that blood must smell good.]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

About that... I uh. I can explain!

[beforedawnbreak.livejournal.com]

... Well? [Waits.]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

.... I didn't realize it was you.
