A/N: So I started this 100 Themes thing on LJ and I claimed the pairing Riku x Roxas. A friend of mine suggested that I post these up as one long-ass fic, so I decided to take her advice and see where it gets me. Hope yall enjoy

003 : Secret
They kept secrets from each other all the time. Roxas would never speak about where he had been all night, and Riku would never tell about what happened to the suddenly missing sodas from the fridge. The reason they kept secrets was simple.
Neither of them liked lies.
Roxas was the most sensitive to them. He could detect a lie amongst a fiery tirade of words in explicitly long, unabashed sentences. There was something about a person's voice and change of persona that flickered and signaled the lie-detector in his mind. Even so, he was one to be easily hurt by them; the fact that someone could be so inconsiderate to lie bothered him.
Riku didn't like them because they made him feel weak. If he ever told one, then everyone would know. He blamed that his eyes could not lie like his mouth could, and thus he tended to feel powerless when caught. It also made him seem untrustworthy, which wasn't in his character at all.
They both understood each other's distaste for lies; this was why they merely kept secrets, never having to speak a traitorous word.
