Disclaimer: (Herbal) Osaka-neechan does not own Kingdom Hearts.

Author: (Herbal) Osaka-neechan

Focus pairing: Roxas/Riku, Riku/Roxas

Characters: Roxas, Riku

Warning: Riku is a naked boy and Roxas wears a top-hat. And they have sex, of course.. NONDESCRIPT SEX. :O WHY?!

Summary: It's teatime now.

Point of view: Roxas

Perspective: Third person progressive (IS IT NOT?)

The conceptual corner: This took half an hour, courtesy Osaka-neechan sudden urge to submit to RikuRoku fairytale contest for November on deviantart. ››;; Then she came to recall that placing tags to italicize and bold and et cetera on deviantart was too tiring— which is why nothing of Osaka-nee's ever gets uploaded on the site, as she otherwise never spends her energy on coloring in decent artwork that's been produced by her.

This is rougher work that will most likely be revised sometime or another. There is a concept Osaka-nee developed awhile back being used in this piece, if completely simplified. She looks at this as practice for that broader outline. :D

The reception corner: s h e c a n o n l y s p e a k i n t h i s m a n n e r t o f u l l y i l l u s t r a t e t h e s c r e w i n e s s t h i s p i e c e h a s c o m e t o e x p r e s s .

And the "i"s keeps capitalizing by themselves; it's so frustrating. D:

Well, as mentioned above, this will probably be revised, sketchy as it already is. Osaka-nee will develop a further plot using this sketch and elaborate on it— as for now, since her recent archive of fanfiction totally lacks, and this was finished yesterday, she's uploading it. YAY.

The one-shot is as confusing as the M-theory and perhaps not as much as Alice in Wonderland and Through-the-Looking-Glass, but complaints will be taken HAPPILY.

SO COMPLAIN. /encouraging :D for emphasis added here/

The crackpot corner: THERE IS NO SPOON. :O

It's teatime now.

There is the contemplative pouring from the pot.

"Good morning," Mister Riku tells him blissfully.

half past four and midnight fast approaching

"Good 'morrow," he acknowledges softly.

"Is the boy there?"

"If Mister Riku would take his blindfold off, he'd know," says he.

(and always naked except for those ridiculous black bunny ears;

he disapproves this.)

the beats from the clock are slowly broaching

b ro a ch i n g . ..

"I wish he were," Mister Riku says wishfully.

"I wish he were, I wish he might," he mimics.

and we all fall

The two live in a s k y s c r a p e r made of glass

high above the sea.

the fish stare as we come down

scatter while these foreign bodies immerse

"I want him to bring by a seashell," Mister Riku declares awhile later.

"Do you fancy him, Mister Riku?" asks he dully, thusly after.

The tea is absinthe, with a hint of copper.

there's this long long way to go

e y e s at the bottom

and there's that tok tok tic tok (it hurts doesn't it?)

(his ears; the chair screeches against the sleek tiles that make the floors.)

"You like seashells." says Mister Riku, and crouches before him, thumb brushing a cheek.

and the angels by the staircase were laughing so

you can still hear the voices chime

He lowers his hat.

"The texture," he says, and Mister Riku presses kisses, "—the texture. I. I— want you. No, I— I want you to like. I want you to like—" butterflies against his skin,

like a book shut to preserve violets found late in the summer, by a little girl in a blue-checkered dress

"to like— to like—

"like—"

the boy in the blue-checkered dress does not care to take a book from the shelves.

"chip-chop chip-chop,

the last man's dead!"

they chorus

"Like?" Mister Riku echoes, lips resting under the ear. "I like."

The hat rolls across the floor and down a spiraling stairway—

"I like you," murmurs he, recklessly.

and I look upon your humiliation

(in a place there is no breath

my hand reaches for your figure)

in complete adulation

And Riku's lips are mouthing something: R o x a s , in a garbled language

He pushes Roxas, and he is on Roxas, by then,

The clocks and pot and plates and cups

arrange themselves accordingly

(where they were, they are not before

grammatically speaking)

but the tea spills.

And these fancy fabrics Roxas wears that Riku does not care for cover porcelain, machinery.

and blindfold)

There is the roaring from the sea in his ear that was not there before, (muted)

and Riku is inside Roxas

"hahh, hahh, hahh

"haaahh—"

He will climax fiercely, choking spit in completing pleasure, (he can't stop shaking)

and there is nothing on the floor but sleek tiles, and under those, the sea.

embracing your figure, for there is a long long way to go. . .

The hat rolls down the spiraling staircase running down the sea, and inside, there is a room that is a study—

the boy in the blue-checkered dress does not care to take a book from the shelve.

So they stay there, in a place without time.

half past four and midnight fast approaching

There are irises that devour Roxas, and its depths are the sea.
