Something's changing, he knows. He can sense it every time he's around them, or he sees Demyx in the hall. Demyx's smiles don't reach his eyes much anymore. They do when he's with Sora, but really, that's the only time. Axel was around more often, too. Even when Demyx wasn't there, Axel usually was. He can't help but notice that Demyx leaves sooner than normal. He silently wonders if he did something wrong.
He sees things differently than most people. Like, he sees that Larxene and Marluxia don't' really love each other as much as they claim to. He also sees that, no matter how much Zexion and Roxas claim to hate each other, it's untrue. All of their fist fights, all of their name calling, all of their glares-all of them are lies. Roxas and Zexion will probably end up spending the rest of their lives after high school together.
But, back to the others. Riku sees Sora watching them more often than not. If Riku didn't know any better-which he does-he would say that Sora was waiting to make his move. That was crazy talk, though, so he pushed it out of his mind. With Axel, however, it was much more believable. But, who was Axel waiting to make his move on? Surely not him. But he was Demyx's best friend, so…why?
Riku notices his reactions. Demyx is shying away from him. It's almost imperceptible. Almost. But when he smiles at Demyx, he can see something in his eyes change. It hurts him to think it, but maybe Demyx doesn't love him any more? But, if that were the truth, wouldn't Demyx have left him already? Yes, he would have. It was all so confusing him, and from what he saw, the end result would be not-so-good.
So he pushed all of it out of his mind. He decided that the flinches and cracked smiles were all just a part of his imagination. Axel's small touches and not-quite-innocent smiles weren't really there. Sora didn't let his hand linger a few seconds too long on Demyx's arm or back. And he really didn't' see his whole life falling apart before his eyes.
