While my guitar gently weeps.

 [walking around in just his boxers, he's still half asleep, drifting into the bathroom where he leaves the door halfway open, starting up the sink so he can wash up his face and brush his teeth. it was.. almost like home. almost.]

Don't drop anything.

[ waltzes on by. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

I'll do it just to spite you.

[teases, sticking his tongue out at himself in the mirror. the bathroom is built much like any public bathroom-- large mirror spanning the entire wall leftover from what isn't covered by two sinks-- but then it sinks into a more homey feeling, the shower fit for one, or two, covered by decorative curtains. around the corner to the right of Sora, of course, sits the toilet.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ he's always wondering about that, when every new room he goes to take a leak in looks more different than the last; and some more familiar than others. ]

Guess there's worse people who could take advantage of you.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

I'm not scared of them.

[chomps down on his toothbrush as he fumbles around with a few things-- namely eyeliner.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

It's not a matter of fear.

[ since heads aren't very interesting to look at, it's not like Riku has an indicator of what's going on. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

I'll punch 'em in the dick.

[brushes nonchalantly, uncapping it and setting it aside. swish, spit, wash, and then he sets his tooth paste and brush aside, wrapping it in a bag labeled with the name Sora and a flower in the corner.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Ehh.

[ waves it off, since elaborating's pointless, all things considered. ]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ --oh, he's spied that bag. ]

Are you sure you have one?

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

Hey, this is new, okay? I just.. wanted to try something out.

[there's various multicolored hair clips and ties littered next to the basin of the sink, and now he's brushing his hair.]

--and leave my bag alone, how is anyone else gonna know what Sora it is? I'm not gonna write 'Sora that wears dresses' on everything.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Because everyone's just going to barge in and pilfer your belongings. I see.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

I heard there's a thief running around here. One that used to steal all kinds of expensive things. But hey, everything else is free range, so who says they wouldn't dig into my stuff, too?

[puffs out a cheek, tapping his foot.]

Oh.. dammit!

[sighs dramatically, rushing past Riku down the hall.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

It's just some-- [ oof. ]

[ half-dressed Sora, meet half-dressed Riku, who's blankly staring after him as he races off. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

I forgot my clothes in the washer!

[and god forbid he have to wash them again if they smelled bad by now.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

You're in a dressing room, there's clothing everywhere.

[ massages the back of his neck. ahh, it's too early for shenanigans ... ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

They're my dresses!

[seems put off by the way Riku thinks Sora's just okay with wearing stuff that isn't his. ... but then again, he's a very picky boy, but a picky boy who's stopping and turning.]

Wait, can I just borrow a shirt from you? You smell good anyways.

[Sora in normal clothes? that's a rare sight.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ because it's impossible for him to wrap his head around any of those statements, Riku proceeds to do a very Riku-like thing and just. stare. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[and he's a couple of feet away, staring right back.]

What? It's not like I'm lying.

1/2

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ his eye is twitching, willing himself to not let his thoughts go Right There. ]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

--whatever, they're not even mine.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

But they aaare, because now they smell like Riku.

[drifting back over, he buries his face against Riku's chest, grinning.]

And you smell like a manly man.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ see these hands? the ones at his sides? they sure are staying there. yeah. ]

Congratulations, you have a nose.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[and Sora's? well, this Sora was always a touchy-feely sort of boy, so his arms are wrapped around Riku's waist as he sways his back end.]

I do? I never noticed.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Then welcome to the wonderful world of smelling.

[ even he knows how corny that is, gritting his teeth. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[so he breathes in so hard he snorts, falling against Riku's chest a little more as he laughs against him.]

It's an amazing world, sometimes.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ and that's just the kind of treatment he didn't need to experience, swallowing convulsively. ]

I bet.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

You need to lighten up!

[slaps the side of his fist against Riku's heart.]

Drink some coffee with lots of sugar, wake up, run up and down the halls, smile!

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ he had a great comeback up until that last bit. ]

Why are you all telling me to smile.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

Because you look handsome when you do.

I bet whoever you marry will melt.

[sticks his tongue out, settling back so he can rock on his heels.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ finally, some room to breathe, and not think compromisingly. ]

He already has.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

Oh! You got someone?

[it's such a relief. despite how Riku said he hadn't messed around too much, to know that he might be settling down with someone is a comforting thought.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ now that he's bringing it up, Riku ... doesn't actually know. ]

Maybe. ... probably.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

That's good. I'm really glad.

[grinning full-on now, something reassuring that he's hoping will boost Riku's confidence.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ there's nothing to boost when he's still puzzling it out. Maybe those flowers didn't work after all ... ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

Don't look so grim. I'm sure he's head over heels for you.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen him.

[ it's concerning. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

So go find him. You can't expect him to always come finding you.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

What do you think I've been doing, playing solitaire?

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

You never know!

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Do I look like I keep a deck of cards with me?

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

People do crazy things when they sleepwalk.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

... I don't sleepwalk, Sora.
