Patience
Yo. I don't own Kingdom Hearts.
Riku wasn't a very patient person. He also wasn't a very brave person- When it came to his best friend, that is.
Which was why Riku was currently having a problem making up his mind.
Back and forth, he paced on the small island, watching Sora and Kairi splashing each other in the soft waves.
Riku was a jealous person. He was also a very private person.
Which was why Riku waited. He continued to pace, waiting for the sun to sink further into the ocean. Waiting until it was time for the girl to return home.
She finally waved goodbye to Sora, shaking water out of her auburn hair as she went to her boat. Sora waved back, before swimming to the ladder on the other side of Riku's island.
"You don't need to stay up here like a bump on a log all of the time." Sora chastised lightly, smiling at the silver haired boy. "You should play with us tomorrow."
"...I was just thinking."
The brunette frowned, "About what?"
Riku swallowed, his green eyes closing for a second, before looking out at the orange sky. "About how I..."
Love you.
Facing the brunette, seeing his blue eyes staring expectantly, Riku shook his head. "It's nothing."
A/N: D'awwe. Actually not how I planned it. Riku was supposed to tell him and Sora was supposed to be weirded out, but this works, too, I guess.
