[captive_destiny]

[There is a Riku sleeping on the floor here, alongside the wall. He seems to be only covered by a sheet, given how much leg and bare shoulder he's showing. There's a dull unicorn's horn close beside his head. Any attempts at picking that up will only make it disintegrate. Despite just having the sheet, he's very warm to the touch.]

Comments

[dawnrise]

[Well, at least it's someone familiar (and harmless) finding him and not someone else. She recognizes him from some distance away, and makes her way closer with her hands in her pockets. Sleep's great and all, but maybe not here, like that.]

Riku?

[captive_destiny]

[He's sleeping too hard for that to wake him. Even anyone passing hasn't managed to do so, and he's usually a light sleeper. If she comes closer, she'll be able to see the scarring across the skin of his back, and that there's at least two whole letters visible. It isn't something Kai or Axel might have mentioned about him.]

[dawnrise]

[That's kind of strange, and unexpected. She stops beside him and tilts her head, trying to get a good look at it and figure out what it says before she wakes him up.]

[captive_destiny]

[It's clearly thick burn scarring, two fingers wide and covering most of his back from his right shoulder to disappear toward his left hip. The visible letters are U and T, with the edge of another partially covered. There's smaller scars that are much less noticeable, ones that look more likely to have come from fighting.]

[dawnrise]

[She crouches down on one knee, frowning, and very, very carefully tries to lift the very edge of the sheet up, just enough to see the rest of that partially covered letter.]

[captive_destiny]

[It's an L at his lower back. Does she need to see the last one to put together what it says? He doesn't even stir when the sheet is moved.]

[dawnrise]

[No, that confirmed her suspicions, and she withdraws her hand. She doesn't back up, though, and instead nudges his shoulder.]

Riku. Wake up.

[captive_destiny]

Nnn.

[He doesn't look ready to face the world at large, not even opening his eyes. Her nudge is forgotten as soon as it's registered, and he lets out a sigh before settling down into sleep again.]

[dawnrise]

[Well jeez, she doesn't want to scare him or freak him out. One more try, where she'll place her hand on his shoulder and give him a small but firm shake.]

Riku.

I wanted to tag this earlier! Boo work.

[lightyin]

[The floor is a terrible place to sleep. This Riku actually thinks the other one might be dead at first, until he goes over to investigate. He's kneeling to shake Riku's shoulder gently.]

Hey.

[captive_destiny]

[But he doesn't want to get up. He's warm despite the circumstances, and isn't ready to face harsh reality yet.]

[lightyin]

[But reality wants him awake. Well, one person in it, anyway.]

Riku, wake up.

[captive_destiny]

[He isn't used to being woken by silver-haired people. There's an instant when he flinches almost as soon as he opens his eyes, and then he's covering his head with his whole arm with a loud groan.]

[lightyin]

[At least Riku is one of the more harmless silver-haired people. He moves back a bit at the flinch, just in case.]

...Are you okay?

[captive_destiny]

No.

[That came out as more of a groan as well. He feels like he has the biggest hangover in the world, possibly while still drunk and with a migraine.]

[lightyin]

[He doesn't know if Cure will help hangover-type symptoms, but Riku's getting a non-con Cure anyway while he's being checked for injuries. As much as possible without moving the sheet covering him.]

Can you sit up?

[captive_destiny]

[Not when it's spell-related in this case, unfortunately. He's sitting up as quickly as he's able, swaying a bit but still managing to gather that sheet around him before Riku can do much more checking. He's nude, doesn't know where he is and feels ready to pass out; he doesn't want to add unwanted touches to the list.]

I...

[clockworkboytoy]

[... Riku is getting poked with a stick, or rather the tip of the tiny Replica's blade]

Are you dead?

[captive_destiny]

[There's little response, though the poke does make him stir a little. Why so pointy in the morning.]

[clockworkboytoy]

[It's the blunt side, so there won't be injuries. And tiny-Replica is never pointy in the mornings, pervert.]

Ah, you're moving! Wake up!

[poke poke]

[captive_destiny]

[That's a relief. Also no u. Riku groans softly, only moving to cover his face with one hand.]

[clockworkboytoy]

Why are you sleeping in the hallway? Don't you have a room. You're Kai's Riku, right? Wake up! I wanna play with Apricot!

[tiny Replica will keep badgering Riku until he's actually conscious]

[captive_destiny]

[The badgering works, up to a point. Riku attempts to push himself up, only to catch sight of that horn beside his head. Then he's jerking his head to the side and puking in the direction of the Replica's shoes.]

[clockworkboytoy]

Ew gross!

[tiny Replica leaps backwards, managing to dodge that onslaught but just barely]

Kai is gonna be sad if you're sick.

[captive_destiny]

Nnn..

[He is the very picture of physical health. Really. Riku sways a bit on his hands and knees, then manages to push himself back into a sitting position. The sheet is getting gathered around him protectively.]
