anything to sparkle in his eye.

[he's quiet as he knocks on Roxas' door, a few candycanes in his hand. shuffling his feet, he's not too noticeable in the dark hall.]

... Roxas? I need to talk to you.

[ooc; locked to slavingly and seducingly.]

Comments

[he tenses inside of the room, all lights turned off as he's slumped against the wall.]

.. come in.

[slavingly.livejournal.com]

[so it's on the third knock that he hears that voice, and he gently pushes the door open, dim light filtering in. he pauses to let his eyes adjust before he steps towards him.]

... I never said thank you.

[seducingly.livejournal.com]

For what?

[he's not amused, bunching up against himself on the bed.]

[slavingly.livejournal.com]

[he blinks his eyes against tears, shaking his head slightly.]

--trying. Not wanting to kill me. Not wanting to rip me apart. I...

[he's hesitant before he goes over, putting the group of candycanes at his feet.]

[seducingly.livejournal.com]

Is this some sort of peace offering? I don't want it.

[nudges them away with his foot.]

[slavingly.livejournal.com]

[his heart's beating too hard as he shakes his head.]

N-no. It's not.

... I meant it. I-I really did.

[seducingly.livejournal.com]

[he finally gets a good look at his face, and suddenly old instinct kicks in.]

--something happened?

[he rises, quickly nearing him. he's shed the the long draping coat for something casual; a long white raglan shirt with black shorts. much less threatening.]

[slavingly.livejournal.com]

[he swallows hard, brushing some hair back and a tear back.]

I-I... just some things th-that made me actually do this. And go through with the entire truth, because...

[but his voice dies, and he's crumbling a little, looking at his feet.]

[seducingly.livejournal.com]

Riku..

[Roxas is not shy to hold him close, running his fingers through the hair he missed touching so much.]

I'm so sorry..

[slavingly.livejournal.com]

[he's choking something back, not allowing himself to cry or whimper, but stand a little taller than he has before.]

I... it's fine. I guess that's what I deserve... but.

Even if you wouldn't accept me, I... I know I love you now. I thought I did. I was right...

[seducingly.livejournal.com]

[just cradles Riku's head against his shoulder, whispering kisses along the side of his face.]

It's okay.. it's fine.

[slavingly.livejournal.com]

[his stomach jumps against his heart, sucking in a quick breath. he's pressing his face against his shoulder after a while, giving a helpless murmur.]

[seducingly.livejournal.com]

I never stopped loving you, but I had to stop caring to break the habit.

[rests his head against him. it's like all his insecurities and anger are flowing out of his feet.]

[slavingly.livejournal.com]

[he's holding him gently, smiling slightly.]

I... so will you start caring again, or are you moving on?

[seducingly.livejournal.com]

I only stopped caring because I was under the impression you'd never come back.

[nuzzles his face against Riku's shoulder.]

I want to be with you.

[slavingly.livejournal.com]

[he pulls a little away and smiles, hesitantly.]

I... I want to be with you too.
