!SPOILERS! I'm placing this here now because I don't know what I'll type when I write, it just sort of goes on its own and I may mention spoilers for 3D at random. Even if it's just the authors notes.
A/N: I'm like Dark Phoenix. "I can't control it!"
I'm in a shippy mood, and I suddenly thought of the anime Gankutsuo. Think I spelled it right. Anyway, if anyone's familiar with it, this was heavily inspired by the main cast… in fact I think their relationships could apply directly to Kingdom Hearts… how odd.
Anyway, unless I see an official game guide or interview that says Sora and Kairi are the official canon couple I still call it to be something from a fangirls rambling. In fact, I think Sora is a Riku and Kairi friend-sexual. Sure he may smile over Kairi, but damn he friggen molested Riku in 3D. I was going to include a specific scene from the game, but decided against it… oh yeah forgot to put my spoiler warning on my other stuff… WHOOPSY!
Idiots
Riku had always watched Sora. Ever since they were little he watched him. Watched him play, sleep, fall, cry, throw fits, and even blush over his first girly magazine. He had watched him so long he could tell what he was thinking when others thought differently. It could have been a certain quirk in his smile, a twitch of his fingers, or the way his eyes shifted away from someone or something. It could have been nervousness to one observer, but he knew inside his friend was fuming.
Though through all his observations, it was obvious the boy didn't see him the same way. He was fine with that. Riku wasn't like the rest of the boys on the island, but he never voiced it.
"His eyes couldn't lie." Mickey claimed.
It was true, his body language could say one thing, but if you looked him in the eye it would say another.
Sometimes, Riku gave Sora a look meant specifically for him. He'd give that award winning grin in response.
That was the only time Riku couldn't read him. That smile where he'd close his eyes and put his hands behind his head. It seemed so natural. A part of him wanted to believe that it was just him being ignorant and thinking nothing more of the situation. Another part of him thought that he was hiding something, but a smile like that from a guy like that couldn't hide anything. Right?
Riku watched Kairi as well. He felt that it was his responsibility. After all, girls just don't appear from meteor showers normally. Though as they became closer he still watched her, but out of protection and general caring. He didn't care for her the way Sora did, but if she made Sora happy, he had to make sure she was still happy.
She wasn't as practiced as Riku, and being a girl she was like an open book when it came to hiding how she felt. She gave much more obvious looks Sora's way, which resulted in that same grin.
Kairi gave it to him before. But he shook his head and gave the most apologetic expression with his eyes as he could. She looked torn, and said she needed to go home early that day.
Sora asked what may have been wrong, and Riku simply said he wouldn't understand even if he tried. Riku could tell his friend was still curious by how his eyes looked to the sky as he shrugged.
He felt bad, but he knew she'd get over it, just as he got over and long accepted what his life with Sora would be like.
Sora was an idiot some times. But it was a trait he was glad his friend held on to.
