You're surprisingly cute, you know that?
…you probably don't. You probably don't even think about it either. But you are, one of the…cuter boys on this island. Probably the cutest even…I know I'm not the only who thinks so either. It's just something you're used to, you've been cute all your life so why any different now, right? Well, you're growing up and I've been fortunate to grow up alongside you. Lucky enough to have known you all my life it seems.
What, with your round face, rosy cheeks, big blue eyes, mussed ginger hair, and carefree attitude, it suits you. I don't know where this comes from, but it seems to be coming along with change, with what I'm slowly starting to notice although I don't fully understand it. It confuses me to be honest, even thinking about like this, confuses me. I don't know why I am, but I simply am. It's not as if I haven't noticed before, I'd have to be blind not to. It's just…
It just seems different. Maybe it's just me…but I don't know.
I appreciate you, though. I'm glad to have you as a best friend. I may not show it, but I do. Out of anyone on this island and out of all our friends, you know me the best. Maybe it's your innocent persona that caught me off guard the first time, or maybe the way you seemed so unabashed from the get go?
When we were younger, you always reminded me of a flighty bug, annoying and grating at times. Not all the time, but most of the time. You were easy to please, thankfully, but just as good when it came to annoying me. Funny how we've seemed to grow past that, and become so close now. It's a good thing we did, I don't want to know what it'd be like if we weren't best friends.
I always liked to tease you, about your naivety towards everything and how anyone could mistake you for a little kid, even now. It's all fun and games though but when I think about it…I'm not wrong.
You fit the part, down pat. From the face, to the hair, down to the nose. You're only missing one thing though, Sora. Do you wanna know what it is?
Your wings.
But then again, maybe it's a good thing.
You might have flown away by now…
Riku.
