"You want to do what, now?"

Riku fixed his aquamarine orbs onto the pair in front of him, allowing them to shift uneasily between the chocolate-spiked head of the fifteen-year-old Keybearer and the Princess of Heart's waterfall of scarlet strands. One platinum eyebrow arched slowly, disappearing into the argent-colored depths of his bangs.

"Kairi and I want to go on a picnic!" the brunette exclaimed, his enthusiasm mirroring that of a five-year-old in a candy store.

if two people s h a r e one ...

The redhead nodded vigorously in agreement. "And we want you to come with us!" she added, excitement sparkling in her cerulean irises. "Please, Riku? It's been a long time since you and Sora have done anything together, and besides, it'll be fun!"

Riku stared at the two for a while longer before exhaling sharply. "Sorry, guys. I've got a lot of stuff to do." He frowned at the crestfallen expressions on his best friends' faces. "Hey, don't look at me like that." He grinned, his hair shielding the mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "You can still have the picnic without me."

Sora's face lit up, Kairi's following suit. "Great! We'll go pack, then." they exclaimed before running out of the room. As the door slammed behind them, Riku's grin became a smirk.

And once they're done, I'll put my plan into action.

"Gee, it's too bad Riku couldn't come," Sora sighed mournfully, biting into his sandwich. "I wonder what could possibly be so important that he'd have to skip out on lunch with us."

"...I don't think he anything to do in the first place," Kairi replied, chewing thoughtfully on her own sandwich. She turned to her best friend, the tiniest of smiles present on her features. "Maybe he wanted to give us some time alone."

their destinies will become i n t e r t w i n e d ...

Roses bloomed under the Keybearer's cheeks. He looked away, staring intently at the checkered pattern of the picnic blanket they now sat upon, fighting the blush that threatened to spread to his neck. "Kairi," he said after several minutes of silence had passed. "Can you promise me something?"

"Anything."

"Promise me...promise me you won't leave me."

Kairi blinked, evidently surprised. After staring at him for a few more seconds, her smile returned, more radiant than before. "Sora...I've never left you. I've always been with you..." She placed her hand over his heart. "...in here."

they'll r e m a i n a part of each other's lives ...

They continued to smile at each other, both of them struggling to keep the redness beneath their faces at bay. Finally, Sora broke the silence. "These sandwiches are really good. What's in them?"

"You really like them?" said Kairi, relief evident in her voice, and not just because of the sandwiches. "I made them myself. Tomatoes, lettuce, chicken..."

"Paopu fruit."

Blink. "What?"

"Paopu fruit," Sora repeated, pulling open his sandwich. Sure enough, nestled between the cabbage and the pickles, the golden skin of the fruit peered up at them from beneath a glob of mayonnaise. "Who would put paopu fruit in our sandwiches?"

He looked at Kairi; Kairi looked at him. Sapphire met cobalt, and then they understood.

"Riku."

Somewhere along the beach, hidden behind a palm tree, a boy with silver hair stifled a laugh before running for his life.
