Theme #7 - Lies
::
:
It wasn't fair.
Riku knew he couldn't lie. It was pretty common knowledge by now. Sure, his voice wouldn't shake, and his body wouldn't tense or twitch. He could control all of those things.
But he couldn't control his eyes.
They were truly windows to his soul; one look into them and every emotion was clearly visible. That included nervous deceit. If he lied, everyone would know.
It wasn't the same with Roxas.
Riku had seen enough to know this. He'd been around Roxas, knew all his thoughts, and would hear him express the exact opposite message to Sora or Axel. What was worse about these white lies? They worked on Sora and Axel—his best friend and his other half.
Riku didn't like that. It made him wonder.
Did Roxas really care about him? All the comforts and promises—were they only to placate the silver-haired boy? Riku could never know. Asking wouldn't help; either way the boy answered, Riku wouldn't have an answer that was a proven truth.
It was all facts: Riku couldn't lie.
Roxas was a good liar.
And Riku was either very trusting or too gullible.

Author's Notes
Heh... poor Riku. He'll never have a truth, and Roxas doesn't even know Riku needs proof. But, that'll be okay. Riku doesn't need proof.
On to the next one!
