set forth.

["she's" singing softly, a small bouquet of blossomed red flowers in "her" hands.]

My friends, the crossroads are near, soon we will say to each other another farewell.

So now, let's live for the moment, sing one more song of elation, one more glass of good cheer.

Though the chapter shall end when we turn the page, let us sing a tribute to life as friends.

My friends, take pride in our years. We've borne the seeds of tradition with friends gathered here.

Let's raise our glasses high, let's toast in honor of mem'ries in thanks for the times.

Though the chapter shall end when we turn the page, the end of this night is the end of our age, as we all set forth to find our own way!

Let us sing a tribute to life as friends; as friends.

[ooc: someone wishes she was there for her graduation. ):]

[he comes up behind 'her', having been around for most of the song before stepping forward to place a hand on 'her' shoulder.]

That is a beautiful thing to sing.

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

["she" gives a small start, looking back at him and smiling softly.]

T-thank you... it was for when I would leave Doyle.

[knightofsilver.livejournal.com]

I suppose they shall be missing you at the ceremony..

[he offers a sympathetic smile.]

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

And you, as well...

[knightofsilver.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we should have our own here? It will not be nearly as glamorous as what you were expecting, I'm sure. But with you participating, it is at least worthy of glamor.

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

Hey, girl. [pats her head]

What's up?

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[here's a pause there before "she" smiles brightly.]

--would you? Would... we?

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[glances back at him.]

... it would be my last year at my academy.

[knightofsilver.livejournal.com]

I would love to have one with you.

[he smiles back~.]

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

Wanted to be there, huh?

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[swallows hard, then glances away.]

J-just a tad.

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[brightens.]

... thank you muchly.

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

[why hello, he's hugging you]

Sorry, babe.

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[g-gulp.]

... i-it's fine! I'll... I'll be fine.

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

If you're sure.

[head pat]

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[... "she's" not letting go.]

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

[and he hugs tighter, kissing her forehead]

Hey, girly, it's okay.

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[and "she" nods a little. can't help but feel so helpless, though...]

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

Come on, now. I think lots of people miss their homes. But it's okay.

[ruffles 'her' hair, smiling]

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

I-I know. It shouldn't hurt so much...

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

[nuzzles into 'her' and rubs 'her' back]

It's okay. You'll be okay.

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[--and when he gets low into the curve of "her" back, she squeaks and quickly arches against him, chests against chests.]

--...

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

[shivers slightly, pressing against 'her']

Damn..

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[swallowing hard, "she" looks up at him, shifting uncomfortably.]

I-I'm sorry... I really am...

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

[there's a slight growl as he kisses 'her' right in the mouth]

Sorry, but I had to.

[knightofsilver.livejournal.com]

[so now you've got a severely overprotective Riku grasping you by the collar and hauling you off. he's literally seeing red, and his arms are near shaking as he pulls the two of you apart.]

Re: Sorry, but I had to.

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

[allows this, looking up at him with a decidedly bored look]

Can I help you?

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[gritting "her" teeth, "she" rubs "her" back before getting up and stumbling, grabbing onto Riku.]

Stop it, Riku, please. You know as well as I do that you cannot hurt him. I know you're incredibly upset, but... it's...

["her" voice falters, a hand over "her" crown necklace.]

[knightofsilver.livejournal.com]

But?

[his voice is soft, nearly hesitant, though his expression is far from it.]

There's a but? He kissed you! You know as well as I that a man has no right unless granted permission!

[he trails off, and there's a hurt look in his eye now. it's obvious he's jumped to conclusions. whether he's right or not makes no difference, he's already running a hand through his hair and backing away from the brunet and the blond, eyes widening in disbelief.]

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

It was... my fault, yeah. Sorry.

[ruffles his hair slightly, with a sigh]

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[there's a complete pause before Sora starts to unclasp the necklace around "her" neck. suddenly, it falls--and although it doesn't shatter, the facade is already gone.]

--I'm a guy! Stop fighting over me or getting upset! It's stupid to get upset over a girl that doesn't exist!

[obsolete13th.livejournal.com]

[gives the other a stunned look]

[knightofsilver.livejournal.com]

[he looks surprised--shocked, really, for just a moment. the next, he's smiling a small little half smile.]

I've loved you for years, Sora. You didn't think it was because I thought you were a woman, did you..?

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[his breath catches in his throat, eyes widening with slight tears.]

You... but... you're...

[knightofsilver.livejournal.com]

[he hesitated a moment, and then brings Sora into his arms gently.]

I've been waiting a long time for you to admit it to me. I was getting a little worried that you wouldn't, or that I was wrong..

[everthorned.livejournal.com]

[and he lays for a moment, before hugging him back tightly.]

But you weren't... how did you--find out?

[knightofsilver.livejournal.com]

I've seen you a few times without your necklace on, by accident, of course. I don't even think you knew I was around, since usually it was during my surprise visits.

[fencingkey.livejournal.com]

[y halo thar, this one has been watching]

...Honestly, Sora, I'm sure Axel knows too. He's... like that.
