riku

(no subject)

[This Riku is wearing nothing but a pair of sweatpants, hanging out in the training room. There are scars on his front and back from Heartless attacks back home, most of them seeming to be from claws of varying sizes. He seems incredibly frustrated, and is taking that frustration out on a punching bag. no spells, no keyblade. Just his fists.]

[If you start feeling like you're being watched, it's just because you are. By a Roxas peeking in the doorway, no less.]

[He does pause briefly when he feels someone watching, but just goes back to punching the bag, not really caring enough to stop and talk without Roxas saying something first.]

[He's content just watching, for now. Just because this Riku is oddly more tolerant than the others he's seen, doesn't mean he wants to intrude.]

[How nice of him. Riku's been going at this for a while, and though he's showing signs of getting tired, he's not slowing down at all. He hasn't worked out all his anger yet, dammit.]

[Well, you keep doing what you're doing, then. Roxas is going to slide down the door frame and sit, just waiting.]

*hey, here's someone who understands and would also like to vent frustration in a similar fashion*

... oh. Riku.

[It'll be a while yet before he stops, not that he really wants to. But by now he's trembling, so he probably should.]

[GET YOUR OWN PUNCHING BAG I mean.]

Ri.

[Punch. Punch. Punch.]

[He keeps stealing glances over there, feeling like he should stop him from overdoing it. Hnnn decisions.]

Riku.

What?

[He tried to keep the frustration out of his voice there, because he doesn't want to snap at Roxas.]

Don't you think you should take a break?

[You're worrying him just a little.]

Probably.

[He doesn't move away, of course. Stubbornku is stubborn.]

[Rolls his eyes.]

Do I have to get up and physically stop you, or what?

No.

[...Possibly. But no, he's turning away from the bag, bangs hiding his eyes as he moves to the wall to grab the water bottle he brought with him.]

[Relaxes again, now that Riku's at least stopped.]

What's with you?

*he eyes you a bit, then decides to take a guess*

... Even?

...it's nothing.

[He has to remind himself that Roxas isn't attached right now, not the way he used to be. In fact, he's going to down a good portion of the water to keep himself from saying anything more.]

[Instead of a verbal response, that gets a particularly vicious punch to the bag.]

Yeah right.

[Don't try and brush him off, Riku. He knows how to be stubborn too.]

*he just nods in response*

I ran into him, too. With Ienzo.

Why does it matter, Roxas?

[He's just going to... flop against the wall and slide down, bottle still in hand.]

[Another vicious punch to the bag! And still no other response. Yeah, so did he.]

Because I want to know what's going on. So tell me.

Tch.

[Riku spends a moment studying the bottle, then the floor.]

There's an Even here, a Vexen. He's a pedophile. He... nn. The kid I take care of had a run-in with him once. I ran into him again recently and couldn't do anything because a kid he looked after in his own world was there. I had to walk away and let him continue... that.

I broke his wrist and took Ienzo away.
