skills of an artist.

[ Riku's raided a whole mess of art supplies, and now he's plopped down onto the floor, with a poster board all ready to decorate. ]

Jeez, I feel like I'm five ...

[ and so begins the first marker stroke of what'll hopefully end in a neat little "KEEP OUT" sign. ]

... what the hell.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[lets go.]

I'm a cloth eating moth.

[that's all he'll give, pulling the damp cloth back between his teeth again to chew. even he doesn't know why he's doing it, but he can't seem to stop?]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Don't chew on my shirt.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

S'not really yours.

[tuuugs, leaning back with all his weight.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

So it's yours?

[ pitches forward slightly. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

Mope.

[mouthful of shirt might make him slur, he's pulling Riku until the guy's on top of him.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ oof. this could go very good, or very bad. ]

What now.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[finally lets go, pulling Riku down with hugging arms.]

You act like I'm sooo~ much trouble for you.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Because you are.

[ touches noses with him. ]

Big trouble.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[it's this pang of guilt inside of him that makes him turn his head and chew on his lip, falling silent.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ so much for joking around. he's not moving, nudging Sora's face. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[swallows hard.]

... what if I make Roxas cry again? If he comes back.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Then don't make him, and tell me to leave right now.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[s-swallows.]

I .. don't want to. I just...

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ waits. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[grits his teeth.]

I just ... want a normal relationship. I just want someone I can cook for, someone who'll watch movies with me and help with my homework, and... just. Something I'm not sure I'll ever find here or home.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

... I doubt you have to worry about homework around here, Sora.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[manages to laugh through the stress clouding his head.]

You know what I mean ... like, the person-- nn. nevermind.

[wipes at his eyes. he will not cry.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ lets out a sigh. ]

I told you no one's crying on my watch.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

Sorry, sorry...

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ why is he the one apologizing, anyway? ]

[ makes himself comfortable, nudging at Sora till they're face to face again. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[squeezes his eyes shut, only peering up at Riku when they're lined up again, so confused with himself and what to do.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ frowns. ]

You never gave me a moment to say 'okay', you know.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[... well, that certainly has a slow smile creeping over his face, if not a blush on his cheeks.]

Really?

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Tch, I'll just go if you don't believe me.
