Title: Lonely Dancer

Author: Lacey

Rating: T

Pairing: RikuSora

Summary: Riku is yearning to look at, touch, talk to, see, do anything with and for Sora. The only problem is, he just can't seem to find him. Riku's point of view. Set during CoM

AN: This is based primarily on this picture and the description: .com/art/Riku-Lonely-Dancer-81288133 I was given permission to write some fics regarding Koji and .com 's cosplay photos. So, here I go. :3

It had been far too long. It felt like forever, and I couldn't stand it. Sora had been searching for me, I heard. He knew Kairi was safe, so he was out to get me, in the nicest way possible. That kid...just thinking of his smile makes me feel just as bubbly as he can be. That perfect, boyish face...if only it had a huge, flashing sign attached to it. THIS IS SORA. YOU HAVE FOUND ME.

But even as I wish for this, I realize I don't want anything to mar that face. Even though I know it would happen eventually; the boy's a klutz, no two ways about it. Even on the island, he was lazy and tripped a lot, he couldn't keep up with me and he was always such a dork. Just thinking back on it brings a forgotten smile to my lips; how long has it been since I last did that?

Since I last saw him. I feel something burning in my heart, and I long to tell him so many things. I doubt he'd take me seriously; he looks up to me so much sometimes I think he thinks half of what I say is preposterous, and the rest of it is worth listening to. I wonder, vaguely, what would happen if I could just get him alone for five minutes in whatever world I'm in. It's beautiful...from up here, the city lights burn like a thousand fireflies. It's like they're everywhere, even though I know the brilliant neon lights and signs are nothing more than illusions of some kind; this is their world, their home land, and nothing here exists. Sora would be totally blown away if he realized this, I'm sure. He'd have no idea what to think about them.

I've seen them, of course, but they don't seem to think much about me. There's one here who kind of reminds me of Sora. I think they've called him Demyx; I kind of wonder what would happen if Sora came into contact with that one. And then there's the one that really drives me nuts; he's like a sulking Sora. It bothers me; the only real difference, other than personality, is his blond hair. And even then, it's spiked up all funny, so I can still see the similiarity.

After a few days, I figured out why they look so similiar. They're two halves of the same person, and Sora's "asleep". I don't think I can do anything about it, but I'll try. Maybe if I confront Roxas, fighting him could wake Sora up. Then I could find him...

Except...now, I'm not so sure I want him to find me. If he ever saw what happened to me without him here...he'd never forgive me. I'd hate for him to see what a lack of him does to me. Perhaps, instead, I should give in...darkness may not be the warmest place, and I know I'll be hearing Sora complaining eventually, but...it may be all I have left.

AN: Just kind of a drabble...expect more RikuSora to come, because the pictures that those two take are just inspiring. I hope you all enjoyed this little drabble, it's kind of bad, I know.
