The thing about him was his eyes. God, he wanted to dive headfirst into those eyes and drown in the purity—the tainted ocean—drown in it and drink it in until maybe he'd keep a little piece of it with him. Just maybe. And maybe he'd be able to stop looking. (Because sometimes when they looked at each other—not quite innocent—he was afraid that he would fall into those eyes and then… there wouldn't be any redemption. It was eating him inside… The damn light of it. No redemption once he let go. Only—god—blue. )
The best blue.
(And he couldn't drown now. He grabbed at clouds to hold him up. What he found was a hand.)
So, it all went back to: "Who're you?"
"Roxas."
"Hn… Riku."
There were two equally stoic, stick-in-assed nods were exchanged; and they kept their lips shut tight. And weren't they just perfect for each other? And didn't they just look so damn cool? And weren't they just dying inside? (Come on… Shut yourself up and don't come out of that shell. All the cool kids are doing it.)
That was when he made his first mistake. He looked into those eyes and saw—well, no. That's not it. It was in what he didn't see. He didn't see his own reflection. He could see right down inside of the kid. …And there was nothing there. Just a void. …But somehow, still alive. Still breathing. Second mistake—At the same moment he realized the blunders he was making—at the same moment Roxas pulled out his weapons, full of nostalgia—he noticed that this kid was just like him.
He knew it was a mistake.
Third mistake—he didn't care.
