euphoria.

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[someone isn't being mindful of the other residents of the dressing room. he's just simply phasing through walls and into inhabited rooms without so much as an apology. walking in and out of walls and through objects as if everyone one is supposed to do that, his expression is unusually cold.]

[he's been looking all over, traveling down the halls to no avail. it always happens like this, Riku feels like leaving and Sora's left feeling like he did something wrong.]

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[but like clockwork, Riku's walking through one door and right through Sora. he feels like a chilly rain shower.]

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

[it leaves him frozen for a moment, standing straight in his steps. his eyes turn back to him, but then he finds his shoelaces more interesting, shoving his hands in his pockets and walking off.]

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

Sora?

[he's stopped, too, watching him.]

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. Do your thing.

[smiles to himself, on a trek to the kitchen.]

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[through rooms he phases before coming out of another door, standing in front of him.]

Wait, Sora...

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

[looks up at him.]

Hm?

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[that cold expression is replaced by something a little more miserable.]

Sorry, I'm just...

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

It's okay, Riku. Just do whatever makes you feel better.

[flashes him that same smile.]

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[he'll take Sora's advice, snaking arms around the brunette, leaning against him.]

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

[and he's hugging back, laying his cheek on Riku's chest.]

I wish we could at least see the shore here.

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[his cold breath ghosts over Sora's hair.]

You're homesick, huh?

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

Just a little.

[there's that feeling again. that feeling where he thinks of what happened to them and it makes his heart feel numb. he swallows it back though, his grip loosening just a bit. he's done crying over what happened. the results are unchangeable.]

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[Riku's at a disadvantage. in such close proximity to Sora, those emotions nearly become his own.]

... Sora, stop thinking about it. You're only hurting yourself.

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

... I can't help it.

[sucks in a sharp breath, trying to calm himself.]

I just wish I could've stopped you. I really don't like being homesick, because I worry that this place will just kick me out.

[and then he'll be without Riku again. forever.]

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[he pushes Sora away only to lean down a little, kissing his forehead.]

Sora...

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

What if the king needs me? What if I can't do it by myself? I couldn't have closed the door without you.

If you weren't around, Kairi would've been gone...

[shakes his head a little.]

Doing things without my best friend just doesn't feel right. I don't know if you knew how hard it was to want to stay alive after you left.

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[all he can do is kiss him. his forehead, his temples, his cheeks...]

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

[he smiles again.]

I don't want to leave this place.

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[he wants to warn him that's not the best idea. he wants to tell him he'd be better off without him. he wants to tell him he wishes Sora would move on, his death is his own burden to bare. but he can't bring himself to bring Sora any ill emotions if he can help it.]

... I love you.

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

'love you too, stupid.

[kisses his cheek, then buries his face in the crook of Riku's neck.]

[someone was just laying on her side, reading a nice novel. imagine her surprise, and she almost jumps out of her skin.]

W-whoah! ... R-riku?

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[he rests his chin on top Sora's head, giving the wall a sad sort of stare.]

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[he pauses, staring her down.]

Kairi.

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

[sighs softly, warm breath on Riku's cold skin.]

Everything will be alright.
