Swinging his legs back and forth and hearing the rhythmic thunk of his shoes as they hit against the stonewall he was sitting
Swinging his legs back and forth and hearing the rhythmic thunk of his shoes as they hit against the stonewall he was sitting on. Letting his eyes scan the sector that he had been assigned to the silver haired teen let out an annoyed sigh. It was a bit unfair that as soon as Sora, Kairi and him had gotten home they had already received a request from the King. Of course he didn't mind getting a request, but again he had just gotten him! Letting slight scowl adorn his face Riku tried to think of the years he spent away from the island. To bad his few days of rest were actually days full of packing, a very unhappy redhead that was forced to stay back on the island, she didn't have the strength to come with and would just get in the way.
But dwelling on having to leave the island wasn't exactly the best thing to do; most likely he should be looking around for any threats on the never peaceful world he was currently at. Feeling a bit restless after having to be jerked out of his thoughts by reality Riku gripped the sides of the walls and hauled himself so that he was hurting towards the ground. He should be afraid of falling and splatting onto the ground but years of quick battle reflexes had made it so he lightly touched the ground before starting to walk casually around his area, it was mostly a few homes and a lot of empty buildings nothing more. Running a hand through his ever growing sliver hair the teen looked around now completely bored. It made him wish that he had a partner for this area; only the most populated or valuable areas let people work together. Frowning again Riku turned the corner only to be greeted by a group of heartless and a wall. Calling out his blade and quirking an eyebrow as he waited for the lower level things to notice him Riku waited.
Of course even though the things were dumb as bricks and weak as could be they still had the mind set to take him on. Sidestepping a few attacks and slashing along the ground taking out a good portion with only a few swipes the bladder grinned a bit cockily as they disappeared under his skill. Pausing only once he was sure the minimal threat was gone Riku let the blade disappear before he noted the time by the sun, his shift was almost over which would mean he could hang out with Leon and Cloud, and he'd rather not or Sora. Opting for the latter of the two the silver haired teen started off towards Merlin's house praying the bouncy brown haired boy didn't have to continue patrolling, sometimes it was really boring to walk around with him if he was dead tired from training or running around with Yuffie. Groaning at the thought of the shorthaired girl being the only one for him to hang out with Riku had the sudden childish urge to stomp his foot in anger.
Shaking it off once he arrived at the more business like area of the world Riku spotted the familiar ice cream vendor and smiled slightly, so maybe something to calm him down was in order. Walking over to the familiar place Riku signaled for one before laying down some munny and waving over his back, sometimes he wasn't the friendliest person to the people of this world. The ones who knew that accepted it, well at least most of the time. Popping the blue ice cream into his mouth and walking casually to the old man's house he was sure that no fights would break out. The defense system was well solidified here and left most of the residents in a very carefree state. Snorting at the thought of being carefree he almost dropped his purchase and had to scramble to retrieve it once more. Sighing once it was save once more Riku could only hope that no one had saw that. Or his personal as a calm, cool and very elusive male would be semi-ruined...on the other hand less of the creepy girls would follow him around when he was on patrol.
Shrugging of his random thoughts Riku finally made his way to the familiar house and stared at the door for a moment. He contemplated going in but then also thought of the people that might be inside and that made him cringe slightly. Shaking his head and taking up a spot leaning against the house and letting his eyes slide shut. He was bored and most likely the only thing keeping him awake was the numbing cold that was in his mouth. The only real sign he was awake that ever now and then Riku would shift the ice cream a bit or look up if there were any noises that caught his interest. A few bangs from the inside told him that not going in was probably one the best decisions that he had made of the time he was here. Shrugging his shoulders Riku took the half eaten treat out of his mouth and closed his eyes once more. So he officially dubbed this place boring when it was day light, at night there was so much more activity! Maybe he should offer to take the night shift, but then he wouldn't get to see his friend so much, things were so much more difficult when they weren't on the island.
The sun blared down upon the spiky haired teen as he strolled leisurely, hands behind his head, along the path. He'd been put in charge of monitoring the Bailey area, and do to past experiences, had expected it to be... more lively, perhaps? No such luck was in store for Sora today though. His mind wandered to what he might be doing if he were on the island, with Riku and Kairi. Probably laying on the beach, watching the clouds go by, maybe racing, or maybe, wondering what he could be doing if he were on another world once again. His thoughts continued to wander, do to his boredom. A yawn escaped his lips, as he stretched his arms high above his head, letting out a slight groan, before perching himself on a wall. He spun himself around to face the castle in the distance, beyond the Great Maw.
He didn't regret getting the letter, moments after he, and his friends had finally returned home. But he also didn't appreciate it completely. He supposed, if left to the chance, of being left on the island, he might find himself getting bored. After all, over the past few years, not for a moment had he been bored or even wondered if there was something fun to do. Perhaps, this was for the best. Still, it'd be nice if he had someone here to talk to. He'd only seen maybe a dozen heartless during his whole shift, which wasn't a lot, considering how low level they were. He sighed, but managed a smile. The view was kind of pretty, the sun setting- The sun setting! He'd gone over time! It was time for someone to take over!
Hoping off the low wall, Sora, started off at a walk, but turned into a run towards Merlin's house. He wouldn't mind being able to talk with Riku for a little. Things had been so hectic lately, that he hadn't had much time to speak with the Silver haired teen, let alone, challenge him to a race! He raced through the marketplace, waving to a few people he knew. Veering corner after corner, his heart raced, and it felt good. All day he'd been lazing around in the Bailey, not even breaking a sweat in his battles with the heartless, so this felt, refreshing. As he passed the ice cream shop, he considered getting one, but decided to save his munny for a rainy day. After all, who knew when you might need munny for something even more important than ice cream, right?
He was at the last corner before Merlin's before 3 shadow heartless materialized in front of him. He screeched to a halt, mumbling that they always came when he was in a hurry, and materializing the Kingdom Key into his hands. The dark things creped towards him, but Sora didn't let them reach him. He slashed out with his key blade across the three forms, and just as soon as they had appeared, they were gone. Rolling his eyes at the sad fight, his key blade disappeared and he continued towards Merlin's, now walking. As he rounded the corner, he saw a familiar face, "Riku! Hey Riku!" he called, a smile spreading across his face as he jogged over to the older male, "We're done for today!" he grinned, leaning against the wall beside his friend and crossing his arms. He chanced a side-glance to the male, and saw that his eyes were closed. Must be tired... he thought.
It was an almost relaxing place leaning against the wall and not having to worry about protecting someone for the first time in god only knows how many days. The faint murmurs that he could hear from outside told of an argument going on inside. The voices were deeper and sounded suspiciously like Leon and Cloud. Rolling his eyes Riku swore those two could be a couple, but both of them were strong headed and too full of themselves to even admit an attraction to anyone. But it wasn't his problem, as long as their sexual frustration never got near him he was fine with their couplyness. After listening to what he had just thought Riku was sure the some of his masculinity had just drifted by him as he stood there. Resisting the call to groan loudly and thunked his head against the wall behind him the green eyed boy let his now lax form sag against the wall.
But that was only until he heard footsteps not too far away and his empty icecream stick fell to the ground with a slight clatter. Deciding that it was probably Aerith or Sora the silver haired teen knew either one of the brunettes he could stand without wanting to kick something so that meant he could keep his eyes shut. After he heard the familiar and still childish voice of his best friend Riku of course confirmed that he was correct and Sora had done a scouting around the same time as him. Which was good, that meant he wouldn't have to spend his night helping with something stupid or sitting around and feeling like a total bum, he didn't mind the latter but it felt like that was all he was really doing lately. Mentally shrugging the thoughts from his head Riku waiting until he was poked or pushed to the ground, something that would signify normality and that Sora was still as hyper-active as he was before all of the chaos.
Hearing his friends voice right next to him made Riku let out a lungful of air before nodding his head in response. "Yup, its just really boring." He said before opening his eyes and smirking at the shorter boy before ruffling his hair playfully. "I betcha slacked off huh?" He asked taunting his friend playfully before stretching his arms above his head, leaning against a wall was not good for someones back, no matter how much better an idea it was than facing the wrath of the married-like couple inside. Stifling a yawn the green eyed teen blinked a few times before finally resting his gaze on the other male. "Exciting patrol?" Riku asked already expecting an answer of grumbling or 'No' in some loud shape or from, he liked when things didn't surprise him, but Sora was just one big surprise in himself...and he was thinking too much again.
Being stuck here had made him think over things a lot more than he probably should of and it did irk the teen a bit. His venturing to the darkness still plagued him in the form of guilt and nightmares that would leave him breathless when he awoke. The battle he had with Roxas, Sora's other that reminded him so much of the boy played out in his mind over and over again whether it be that he hated that he lost to him once, or that he felt guilty for getting revenge about it. Sighing softly at the odd thoughts that he had been having Riku hoped Sora hadn't seen him space out, others already had and it was only a matter of time before the infamous "What's wrong?" was asked. But of course Riku hated being asked that and was usually a bastard about if he was, that and he got on the defensive...sometimes he wondered why the gods made him so friggin testy sometimes.
Sora stuck out his tongue at Riku, trying to come up with something witty to say back to his friend, of course, Riku was just to cool for Sora, so he usually sounded juvenile and silly. "And you didn't? There's nothing out there! Where are the big baddies?!" he asked, laughter in his voice. He heaved another, long sigh. Trying to recall exactly what he had done today, and if anything exciting had happened. He racked his brain, but of course, found nothing. He shrugged, "Patrol? Definitely NOT exciting! When we got that letter from the King, I was expecting something more... urgent?" he said, speaking his mind. After all, this was a walk in the park compared to what he and Riku had already been through.
He looked over to his friend again, as the silver haired boy stretched, his eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything. I wonder if he ever thinks about everything that happened. Pondered Sora. He knew he did, of course, put into retrospect with Riku's experiences; Sora's were bright and full of fun! Figuratively speaking, that is. He knew Riku had been through a lot, and often felt bad about it, like maybe, He, Sora, could have done more? He shook his head of the thoughts, knowing Riku would never think that, knowing he had done his best and neither of the two were to blame for the others troubles. HE yawned widely again. Doing nothing could tire you out too!
He pushed himself off the wall, going to the door to Merlin's, but upon hearing the deep male voices shouting and bickering, smiled apologetically, before backing away. "Whaddaya wanna do?" he asked, "It sounds like Cloud and Leon are having... fun?" he snickered before walking back the way he had just come, waiting at a distance for Riku, "We could grab an ice cream," okay, so he was caving in, but they were just so darn good! His eyes strayed past Riku to the Popsicle stick not eh ground and he frowned ever so slightly, "You already had one? Didn't even wait for me! Some friend you are!" he teased, not truly mad with his friend, after all, they never knew when they were next going to see each other.
Stopping himself from reaching out and grabbing the brunettes tongue Riku stopped with quirking an eyebrow at him. Letting a small smile come across his face the silver haired teen shrugged slightly. "I might of, but your The Great Key blade Master after all you shouldn't be slacking." He said before shrugging a bit disappointed by the lack of action himself. "I don't know, but I have to say I miss them." Riku replied though knowing that if they returned it would be him and Sora that would have to do all of the work, Kairi couldn't fight to save her life and anyone else who could was right here in Hollow Bastion. Which was a bit ironic, but since Leon and Cid had computer duty and Aerith and Merlin don't fight since they were all protection and stuff. Cloud, Tifa and Yuffie were their main support, well they were fucked over just a bit.
Snorting as Sora spoke just what he was thinking Riku nodded his head slightly. Running a hand through his hair the teen smiled slightly. "Exactly, but maybe there is something that will happen later." he suggested only hoping that it was true and his prediction would be correct. He was a teenager, he should be going to school, getting a job and dating for gods sake but he wasn't able to have that normal life. But it wasn't like he wanted to date most of the girls he met, they were usually the princess types, since many of them were actually princesses. That and Kairi the only girl he knew well was stricken with Sora, whom he had yet to actually see make a move on the red haired girl. Shrugging the idea off he couldn't help the nagging feeling that he was a bit jealous, and the fact he didn't know who he was jealous of either.
Shrugging at Sora's question he snorted at the notion of Leon and Cloud's little argument. "If those two would man up and have a good old fashion fuck then we wouldn't have to listen to them." he said before hearing what he had actually said, and in front of Sora no less. Cringing in preparations Riku tried to stay calm hoping his little foe-paw would be over looked. "I was hungry and you were late." He accused his friend right back a playful manner. It was easy to see that Sora wasn't mad at him for getting some ice cream already, plus he was always up for another one. Smiling Riku shaking his head. "How 'bout I buy you one hmm?" He asked hoping that would cover for his earlier slip of the tongue.
Sora scoffed. Great Keyblader his Ass! Riku was probably a better fighter than he was, not to say he wasn't. "Once their gone you regret ever wishing they were gone," mused Sora with a silly grin, as usual. He almost missed the darn organization! Which, in itself, was a scary thought! Walking alongside his friend, Sora felt more like a kid again. He sometimes wished things had gone on as they were before all the doors had been opened, but then he found himself disagreeing, and thinking that this was better.
Sora stopped in his tracks, about to say something childish to Riku's comment of Leon and Cloud. Something a 2nd grader would say like "TEACHER TEACHER! RIKU SAID A BAD WORD!" or some other silly thing. He settled for pursing his lips and folding his arms over his chest in a look of disappointment, "Riku..." he began to lecture, but his attention (thankfully for Riku) was diverted by the prospects of Ice cream, and not only that! Ice cream HE didn't have to pay for. With a coy smile, he rolled his eyes, "I won't forget that comment Riku, but I Might if you buy me that icecream and another one tomorrow..." for a teenager, he was pretty sneaky. But part of him said that maybe, he just wanted to be with Riku, and ice cream seemed an easy way to go. He shook the feeling.
The sun was getting lower in the sky and lights along the streets and in the market place blinked into life. Thankfully, it was still quite warm out, even at night, in Hollow Bastion. He saw the ice cream shop and licked his lips, his stomach gurgling, "Hey Riku, do you ever wonder what things woulda been like if all this hadn't happened?" he asked in a relaxed tone, not wanting to make a big deal, but just curious.
Lately, during boring watch shifts, Sora's mind had drifted, and more often then not, it drifted to Riku. He couldn't figure out why, but he'd always wonder what the other boy was doing, if he was okay, what he was going to do later. Maybe, it was just because he hadn't been around Riku for very long without fighting for their lives, or sitting on a dark beach. His eyes slid up to Riku's face, examining his features. That must be it, he just missed his friend was all.
