I keep looking at my Livejournal or writing my Okage crud, time for a Kingdom Hearts short.
Rainfall
I hate rain.
Why?
It keeps me inside, with nothing to do, and I'm forced to stare at the dull scenery outside of my window.
Then I bet Sora is over at Kairi's house. He'd be stupid to go. She's sick, and I would go comfort her myself, but unfortunately…my parents won't let me leave!
I hate them sometimes…
Sometimes I hate him too…
I like him, really, as a friend. But somewhere along the way our friendship got tainted…I think when Kairi entered the mix.
But it wasn't her fault…
No, it was Sora's. She obviously liked me better, right? He's too busy racing ahead to notice things, I'm that guy who looks behind him with every step. Sure, he may seem to have her now, but you know what they say. Slow and steady wins the race.
And that's what Kairi was. The prize in our little race, we race all the time, Sora and I.
Humph. I keep tripping over my words, even in my head. No. She wasn't a prize, some object to be won. She was like…
She was like…
Some Goddess that deserved to be worshipped. She had to be protected. And Sora couldn't do that!
At least, I don't think so. I'm not wrong often.
We had an argument yesterday, my friend and I. We've been arguing a lot lately. I can't figure out why. It makes no sense, and yet here we are, arguing over who made Kairi laugh. We had been so caught up in our argument that Kairi had actually left…
It was his fault, of course. He never liked to admit when he was wrong. My jokes were always more refined than his, surely Kairi liked that better than Sora's ridiculous physical humor. Tripping and making faces, juggling, acrobatics…so much like the three year old he is.
Maybe I'm being too harsh, huh? He is my best friend, you know?
I don't seem to be aware of my own faults…I just like to judge others. I'm going to apologize tomorrow; Sora really doesn't deserve my anger…
Yeah…I'll do that. He still acts so childish, but I've decided to go ahead and be the better man and apologize. And I'll make sure Kairi is there, too.
Nice one Riku, two birds with one stone!
Wait still wrong expression. I want to crush one bird, break the wings and never let it fly again, let it limp after me…the other I'm going to throw into the air and watch her fly…
We had a game we played, Sora and I. What word describes us the most?
I picked…for myself…
Determined.

A little Riku drabble. Riku before Kingdom Hearts one, in any case. He's a jerk then. I might do some more, saying how he felt when the Islands were being destroyed, and during and after Kingdom Hearts two.
Also…see my profile!
