If you don't let someone else hurt with you, you'll overflow.

[whatever his lips just did may or may not have been a kiss to the side of Riku's neck.]

The last thing I want to see is my idol breaking.

[destinedtinsel.livejournal.com]

I can't overflow. Not even close right now.

[and he tries a crack at a reassuring smile, before his eyes widen slightly.]

... your idol?

[jailedbait.livejournal.com]

[swallows thickly.]

Riku as a whole has always been my idol. You never changed that fact at all. Even back home, Riku always held every last bit of Sora's affections as bad as I wanted them.

I wanted to be Riku. Riku was a bastard, a popular bastard and even when he hurt Sora, Sora still crawled to his feet and licked his boots.

[takes a deep breath.] But you showed me 'Riku' has compassion and a heart, somewhere out there. You were strong, happy, and no one could've stood in your way when you were with Sora.

[... he doesn't know why, but there's a pink tinge at his cheeks when he's finished, as he looks a little away.]

[g-groan, he's a little redder now.]

... you're not the only one.

[jailedbait.livejournal.com]

[llllicks the shell of his ear, snickering.]

[destinedtinsel.livejournal.com]

[way to make him verbally keysmash.]

[jailedbait.livejournal.com]

So kiss me, stupid.

[gives him a daring little glare. if he pretends for now, he won't feel guilty until he's out of Riku's sight.]

[destinedtinsel.livejournal.com]

... no. I can't.

[a quick glance away.]

I won't hurt your Sora like that. I know what it feels like.

[jailedbait.livejournal.com]

[sh-shit that hurts. twice as much. he feels like cold liquid right now, so he's just standing. his throat feels dry.]

Right.

[destinedtinsel.livejournal.com]

[the way he swallows and keeps his eyes away, it's just as hurtful for him.]

... sorry.

[jailedbait.livejournal.com]

[yeaaahh fun's kind of.. gone. so he'll just be walking away now.]
