[Riku looks like a teenager dressed him as their favorite pop star- indeed, one has had quite the effect on his wardrobe- and he looks rather uncomfortable. The "fashionable" clothes aren't the only reason though. He's been staying very close to the house with Kai and Axel, and hasn't spoken to many other people at all since a spell hit him making him think he was in love with a male Larxene.

No, he's mostly uncomfortable because he recently awoke to find himself leashed by his collar to a hook on the wall of the grocery, just outside the doors.]

[Look, there's another Riku nearby, one that actually meant to be in that area. He's dressed more normally, in a sweater, jeans, and a scarf because damn you cold weather lately.

He's almost to the store's doors when he notices the other Riku and stops abruptly to stare.]

What the...?

[captive_destiny]

[He wishes he had something as warm as a sweater right now. The white shorts he's wearing and sheer sleeves do nothing at all for warmth. Thankfully, it isn't snowing.

Riku doesn't have much of an answer to that, and instead averts his eyes.]

[lightyin]

[This is only the second time they've ever met, and while the situation isn't as awkward, it's still weird. He's going to try to unhook Riku from the wall, if he can.]

You're going to freeze dressed like that out here.

[captive_destiny]

It won't come off.

[His voice is quiet, and a little raspy from sleep and disuse.]

[lightyin]

[Clearly he needs to get out more. And Riku's not going to stop trying to free him from the wall yet.]

You've tried it already?

[captive_destiny]

[He's hesitant to answer, even if the answer is obvious. He isn't sure if he's supposed to be waiting her for a reason. Is Kai or Axel inside the store? He has no idea.]

... Yes.

[nobodies-light.livejournal.com]

[That's quite the frown Namine's got on as she walks over to him. Why would anyone do such a thing D:]

Are you alright?

[gameofpretend.livejournal.com]

[Luxord probably looks rather unrecognisable but also all kinds of ridiculous dressed in a big, heavy coat with an extra high collar, gloves, sunglasses, broad brimmed hat, and a scarf covering whatever bits of his face the rest missed so not a bit of skin goes uncovered complete with a parasol just in case.]

y'feeling a bit chilly there luv?

[Then again, not many people in the DR have an accent like his.]

[captive_destiny]

[He hasn't seen a Namine in quite a while, and his eyes get a little bigger when he sees her coming toward him.]

I think so...?

[captive_destiny]

[The voice is certainly recognizable, even if nothing else is. Riku subconsciously straightens, his eyes focusing on where Luxord's chin should be beneath the scarf. He doesn't even think about lying, and it would be silly to when he has goosebumps across his skin.]

Yes, sir.

[seasides]

[it's only by chance that Kai is out to the grocery today, though he books it toward Riku as soon as he's in view. he wasn't even inside the store! this is just cruel. he's also already taking off his jacket to give to Riku, before he even attempts to remove the leash.]

Oh my god, Riku, how long have you been out here? Are you alright?

[captive_destiny]

[Seeing someone running up to him has Riku startled, but he relaxes again when he sees who it is. It isn't until Kai's jacket is around him that he starts visibly shivering, his body reacting to the sudden warmth and letting him know just how cold he was getting.]

Not sure, but I seem to be okay... I woke up here.

[seasides]

[he's going to start trying to detach Riku from the wall now. will it work?]

I can't believe this place sometimes...

[captive_destiny]

[Riku doesn't have much of an answer to that, having come to accept many of the strange occurrences. The leash will come off the wall easily for Kai, leaving Riku staring a little. Kai will find it hard to get it to leave his own hand afterward though, mysteriously finding the leash in one of his hands no matter what he does with it, unless he were to try hooking it back to the wall.]

[seasides]

[after it switches hands a bit, he just drags his free hand down his face and sighs.]

Well, it's better than leaving you in the cold.

[captive_destiny]

Were you going inside?

[It clearly bothers Kai more than it does Riku, who looks a little guilty when he realizes what's happening.]

[seasides]

I was, yeah. Want to help me shop?

[if nothing else, he can look on the positive side of this.]

[captive_destiny]

If you don't mind.. being seen with me like this.

[He knows how Kai feels about Riku calling him 'master' when they're in public, and thinks Kai would be ashamed or embarrassed to be seen leading Riku by a leash.]

[seasides]

[he sighs softly and moves to give Riku a kiss on the forehead.]

If it means not leaving you out in the cold in what you got stuck in, I think I'll be okay being seen with you like this. Don't worry about it, alright? The way this place is... it's not going to let me just... ignore how we are, when we're in public. So I should stop trying to feel so guilty about it.

/naps

[captive_destiny]

[A kiss makes the worry lines smooth away, and Riku looks even more relieved at Kai's words.]

Then... yes, I'd like to help you.

sleep well <3

[seasides]

Good. This means I don't need to get a cart, too.

[because they can both hold a basket! he wasn't going to do a huge shop, but it was enough that one basket wouldn't have been enough. time to head inside~.]

[gameofpretend.livejournal.com]

Well then pet, let's see what we can do about that.

[See if he was human, that could have been innuendo, but being dead and devoid of sexual interest it just means he's going to try helping.
He'll see if he can get that leash off the wall since his coat is kind of tied up in keeping him alive.]

[captive_destiny]

[Riku is very glad to be indoors. The filmy parts of his outfit keep making a swishing noise, and he's very aware of the large bow on his head as he grabs a basket.]

What do you want to get?

[captive_destiny]

[The leash will come off easily, but it will be more of a challenge for Luxord to lose the leash himself. Riku's eyes grow a little wider at how easy it was.]

[seasides]

[Kai grabs one as well, going through his mental checklist.]

I wanted to pick up some buns, I figured we could do burgers for dinner sometime soon. Milk, cream, butter, bacon, maybe a few other frozen meats just to keep the stock somewhat full.

[they probably go through meat - or really, food in general - pretty fast, between Axel and Apricot.]
