To Whom It May Concern: My Dearest Sora

Game: Kingdom Hearts 2

Pairing: Riku/Sora implied

Disclaimer: I don't own it, etc. If I did, everyone would be gay.

Anyways, read it. Riku POV. Pretty good, if you asked me. Based on one of my own experiences.

My Dearest Sora,

You know, it's funny how simple words can make one's emotions run wild. There's something I've been meaning to say to you for a while now - something I think you need to know. Now, don't be mad, or sad, or don't freak out and run away, because that would just make matters worse. It was bad enough I couldn't say it to your face, but rather, write down my feelings in this mere letter. So please, just read what I have to say.

I know this may freak you out, but you need to know. I can't bear holding it in any longer. I … I think I'm falling for you. And lately, it's just been too difficult to deny. I can already imagine your face twisting into a look of disgust, possibly shock, and the mentioning of these words. But … wasn't it obvious? Not even just a little bit? All those times you gloat about hot guys. "Hot guys this- and hot guys that." Blah blah blah. It makes me really jealous. You wouldn't believe how jealous I get. Yeah, I do a good job making it look like I'm kidding. But deep down, my heart is shattering into tiny little pieces each and every day. I mean, it was awesome for me when you admitted your sexuality for me. I could have sworn I would have been the first one you'd turn to. I was wrong – dead wrong. There are so many other people out there who are better than me, and I know that for sure.

Now do you understand why I get so jealous? It's pretty harsh to go through that emotional pain each day. But the saddest part is that I know I don't have a fighting chance against them. I'm not awesome, or super smart, or charming, or super funny. I'm your best friend, and only that. Not your lover - nothing more than a best friend. I'm getting pretty tired of that title. Ever since we were kids, I always dreamed that maybe someday we'd grow to be something more. Something beyond mere friendship. I always had feelings for you, different kinds of feelings. I wasn't sure what kind they really were. And even now, whenever I see you, my heart swells with happiness because I know I'm going to spend some time with you. But then realization hits, and I realize that this will all be over when we go to college, or university, or wherever Destiny takes us, and I would have never been able to tell you exactly how I felt. That's why I'm writing you this letter. I wanted you to know. I wanted you to know how much you mean to me.

So yeah, I really don't know what else to say at this point. You're probably pretty pissed at me for not telling you sooner, and I don't blame you for it either. Just remember this: I'll never abandon you, no matter what life brings us. Through good times, bad times, sad times, and happy times, I'll always be there.

I wanna line the pieces up ; yours and mine.

With Love,

Riku

And after reading it over one last time, the silver-haired boy placed it in his best friend's locker, hoping that his heart wouldn't be broken the next day.
