For the first time since I started my college classes, you get a quick turnaround on these prompts. :) Set in the speculative KHIII headcanon, while Riku and Xion are still growing as friends but before they become a thing and before the Sigil drama starts. Enjoy!
"What's up…?"
"Nothing." Riku rolls his head to the side, away from her.
Xion bites back the urge to reply sarcastically and takes a tentative seat on one of the cushions lining the room. "Have you… met Princess Jasmine before?"
"Once."
It's too careful not to be rehearsed, and Riku's voice sounds all the more hollow for it. "You can tell me, Riku. You can trust me."
"…The last time I saw Jasmine, I handed her over to Maleficent."
By the time he glances her way, her arms have wrapped around him like she's done it a thousand times before.
