(no subject)

[ he feels like a child again, walking around the dr all alone. he knows he's lost; it's worse when everyone around looks like, acts like, is someone he knows or knew.

Riku stops. he's tense; scared and intimidated, he's gone into defensive mode. he doesn't make eye contact; he doesn't look at others for very long without feeling like he's lost his identity.

and he would know all about that. ]

Are you gonna cry?

[a small boy asks as he looks up at him confusedly.]

[ startled by that little voice. startled even more by who the kid is. ]

Do I look like I am?

I dunno. Mom always cried when she looked worried like that. Something really bad was happening, that means.

I'm a boy, you know.

You have girl-hair.

I do?

[ catches some strands between his fingers and pulls them away from his face. ]

Should I get it trimmed?

I think it's nice.

[scuffs the toe of his shoe.]

Thanks. ... Your hair is nice too.

Really? I think it's annoying.

[plucks at a soft spike.]

The other kids sometimes made fun of me.

Don't listen to them. They don't know what they're talking about.

Mm-mm. That's why I stopped being friends with them.

[drifts a little closer. don't mind him, he's a little clingy to the older kids.]

[ the closer he gets, the more uncomfortable Riku grows. but he's only a kid... ]

That's a good idea. Don't let anyone push you around.

Nope, the big-kid Axels are all protecting me.

[though he's been hiding out a lot because they haven't been around as often..]

[ hand at his side jerks. ]

Are they nice to you?

And what do we have here~?

[Big grin? Oh hell yes.]

Someone looks lost.

[ it had to be Axel. ]

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[in a doctor's scrubs and looking just as lost as you are]

[ D- Demyx is here too?! ]

Uh... Hey there.

[Hi. Moving in a whole lot closer. His arm? Oh, that. It's blocking your way at the moment.]

Nope.
Most are smart enough not to look so vulnerable, though.

Hello. [waaave. don't worry, he still thinks this is his imagination]

[ animals should never be backed into corners. they become dangerous. clearly Axel has never learned this lesson. but Riku doesn't want a fight so soon. ]

Don't judge a book by its cover.

[ waves back. ] Demyx, right?

Yup. Though not the only one around here which is kinda weird because the other Demyx I met didn't just have my name but my face too. And I haven't woken up yet so it might not actually be a dream...

But your name's Riku, right?

Yes sir.

[ r- random manners. ]

[sir? blink, blink. oh wait. older. doctor. riiight]

Um... yea. You aren't actually a part of my imagination, right?
