Riku is jealous. Yes, Riku, the one you look up to. The cool one. He's jealous of you. He's jealous of your smile and the way you can—no—are the highlight of someone's day. Ahem. Kairi's. How you're always so happy and carefree. Somehow you seem to have no troubles at all.
Riku puts up a facade of bravado in hopes of seeming mysterious. He wants to be confident yet insecurity engulfs him in its entirety. It starts with the thought that he really isn't as suave you think. Or calm. In all honesty, he'd probably be a bumbling mess if a girl were to flirt with him. You can't know that though and not only because of his insecurities, but because he doesn't want to disappoint you.
He doesn't want you to look at him like some kind of failure. He doesn't want to be a failure.
Riku knows he isn't perfect, but no one else needs to know that.
You fit in perfectly with Destiny Islands, especially with your sunny disposition. He doesn't.
So standing before you with the darkness at his side, Riku is disappointed. He even sees it hidden behind the disbelief in your eyes. This wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to end up like this.
He thinks as his eyes turn dangerous, that things don't always go as planned. They change. Evolve. Take a turn for the worst in his case. Everything he's ever feared is true and he finds that he can't quite decide who he's angry at. He looks to you.
Riku, your best friend in the entire world(s), strikes first.
