it's not unusual to be loved by anyone~

...

I think I'm starting to remember one thing...

I... I love you, Kairi.

[burns red and turns to tap his head against the wall]

No, that sounds stupid... but I do remember, I should tell her shouldn't I?

N-NO I mean don't ask Sora, this isn't something he'd know about, I mean it's guy stuff but...

... Kairi, would you uh...

[rubs his neck]

Do you want to make something to eat with me?

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

[raises eyebrows] Sure, Riku.

[smiles again] What'd you have in mind?
I can make a killer sandwich, you know! And I'm great at frosting cakes, but that's probably not what you want. [laughs]

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

Sandwich and cake sounds fine to me...

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

Oh, alright then! [grabs his hand and walks towards the kitchen] I'm pretty sure there are plenty of ingredients, might have to look around for some eggs for the cake. But I've seen a lot of colorful eggs around lately. [grins]

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

[just smiles.]

I don't think we're supposed to use them though. That angry blonde chick said they're special, or something...

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

Angry blonde chick...? [opens the fridge] Oh there are eggs in here anyway!

[opens a drawer] Look what I've been hiding~ [holds up a bag of chocolate chips and grins] With so many Soras around, I knew they'd disappear.

Hey, get the flour out. [points to a cabinet and gets the milk out herself]

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

[goes and gets the flour, sort of pleased despite himself, that she has something like that hidden from Sora]

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

Good! [opens a few cabinets] Now where's the sugar... Oh! Vanilla! [takes it out] And here's the sugar - oh no, I bet we don't have any baking powder.

I used to make cakes with my grandmother all the time. [reflective smile] [looks up at him] But she taught me how to frost cakes really well! I can make roses and all kinds of things, with the right tools. [blahblahblahcakes]

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

[smiles and nod, riku, just smile and nod]

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

[finds some baking powder in the corner of a cabinet] Excellent! [holds it up]

[looks at the ingredients on the counter] I think we have everything now. [dusts hands off]

[opens a cabinet, the heavy mixing bowls are at the very top] Uh-oh. Can you get those down for me, Riku?

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

Hm? Oh, sure...

[reaches up all tall-like and eyes widen as he fumbles a huge bowl and nearly drops it heavily]

W-whoa!!

[manages to place it on the counter, heart beating rapidly.]

Shit, that was close.

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

Woah!! [covers mouth with hands and backs up]

...Phew. [hand on chest] Quick save, Riku! Thanks...

[takes a measuring cup and scoops the flour, shakes it to look at the measure] Hmmm. [dumps it in the bowl, continues measuring out ingredients] So what sort of "guy stuff" is so upsetting? You were beet red back there.

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, you know...

Uhm...

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

[laughs] I really can't know? [mixes the dry ingredients] Fine... So secretive, Riku. [sticks her tongue out at him]

What is it, one of the other Rikus touched you someplace? [smirks]

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

[dfjkkfjdghjksd]

Nothing like that! It's actually about...

...you...

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

Teehee- What, me?!

It's about me and you won't even tell me?! Is it bad? Has someone been talking about me behind my back?

[waves mixing spoon] It better not be Namine! Whatever it is, it's probably not true! You know better than to believe rumors, Riku!

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

[he can't help it. he starts laughing.]

It's... not Namine or anything.

[scratches his neck awkwardly and looks away]

I... kinda like you, I guess. I mean... more than like. I dunno. Should I turn the oven on?

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

[mixing spoon goes slack] ...Oh.

Y-yeah, turn the oven on to 400. I forgot.

[flushed bright red behind her hair, not sure what to say, mixes ingredients]

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

[does so, almost as red, despite his pale face]

It's... it's stupid, I'm sorry...

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

[looks up] N-no! It's not stupid at all. Don't think that.

T-to tell you the truth... I like you too, Riku. [embarrassed, smiles]
[picks up a measuring spoon] Hey, pass me the vanilla.

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

You... do?

[passes it over, sort of wide-eyed]

Even after all the stupid things that happened with me and Sora?

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

Of course I do. [stops stirring and looks at him] I mean... I have for a long time.

I never thought you'd like me. [looks down and starts stirring again]

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

[moving a little closer; their hips are almost touching]

I always have. You... never noticed?

[sos-totheworld.livejournal.com]

[lol, holding giant bowl]

[looks up at him, feels very small]

N-no... Well I mean, I sometimes thought... But I just didn't think you could.

[smiles] ...This is wonderful!

[complexikey.livejournal.com]

[was pouring batter into the pan and is kind of gawking at her like 'waitwhat.']

... it is?
