Author's Note: This was written half during the day, half late at night... so... it's a bit lame, and... blah. But it was Riku x Sora! How could I resist? Part of the Drabble-Meme-thing at

Disclaimer: I don't own KH.

It was one of those rare times where Sora could spend time alone. Donald and Goofy set up camp a while ago [actually, it was more like Donald had set it up, because Goofy kept getting tangled in...], and had gone to sleep already.

The brunette sat there, reflecting on his recent adventures, going from world to world. This was what he wanted, right? However... it felt... a little empty. His thoughts drifted to his old friends, stopping at his oldest, closest friend.

Riku.

He still couldn't believe that Riku had joined up with the people working on the Heartless' side. Meaning they were on opposing sides. Every time he thought of it, he would feel a twinge of pain in his heart.

"Riku..."

"You called?"

Sora turned around and saw Rik. He smiled, then frowned as he remembered they were on opposite sides. He felt another pang of pain in his heart as he brought the Keyblade out. Riku shook his head.

"I'm not here to fight; I just want to... talk." The platinum-haired boy said, taking a seat next to Sora. Sora put his weapon away, sitting back down.

They sat in an awkward silence for at least three minutes when Sora decided to ask Riku something.

"Riku... what changed between us...?"

Silence filled the air again. Riku stood up, wandering away from his spot on the grass. Why did he?

"Riku..." Sora stood behind the older teen and said,"... Forget I even asked that..." The platinum-haired teen turned to face his brown-haired counterpart. He took one step closer to the cobalt-eyed boy, putting a hand on his shoulder.

Riku lowered his face down to Sora's height and whispered,"If only things were different, I would have wanted to..." as he brought their faces mere centimeters apart.

"'To what,' Riku?" asked Sora, not phased at all by the taller boy being in such close proximites.

Riku shook his head. "Forget it," he said with a slight blush on his face.

"Well, okay, then. Will ya tell me some day?"

"Maybe..." Riku said as they sat on the grass, watching the stars until dawn.
