.Miniscule Reunion
Tidus and Wakka stare. Tidus blinks, after a very long moment, and turns his head slowly to look at Wakka. Wakka just shrugs. In front of the classroom, Riku accepts a text-book from the teacher and listens to the class rules before being directed to his seat.
His sits behind Wakka and diagonally behind Tidus. The blond leans on the back legs of his chair, tilting his head to look at Riku more clearly.
"Long time no see," he says. Riku just blinks at him, then nods. The blond waits for a greeting, but when none comes he asks; "Where have you been?"
Riku eyes the blond. Curious - wondering. Where? China, Beach, Castle, Halloween, Twilight, Nowhere... Tidus will not recognize any of these names. Tidus has never left the Islands. In this closed, closed, world...
After a very long pause, Riku says very simply "Everywhere," before opening his textbook and averting his attention to the teacher. He and Sora will tell everyone the story someday, but they'll tell it together.
