Chapter 3: Land
He always sat there on the paopu tree, just staring at the ocean with blank eyes but everyone who knew him recognized that he was thinking a million miles a second behind those blank, aqua eyes. They all knew that, but no one exactly knew just what those thoughts were.
Selphie always said that he was thinking about Kairi in a some dreamy matter, causing Sora to flush and deny that Riku was thinking about her. He knew Sora did not want that to be true.
Tidus suggested that he was thinking about fighting, either strategy wise or some new attacks, but fighting nonetheless.
Wakka would always joke around and say that the platinum haired teen was thinking of new ways to make Sora a complete idiot of himself. Sora, of course, also wished that this one was not true.
Kairi answered that Riku was simply thinking about the raft and how they (both herself and Sora) weren't working on it.
Sora, compared to everyone, would just simply say that his best friend was thinking of what has yet to come and just what was out beyond their island.
Now that their destinies were almost over, Riku didn't know what to think about anymore. He had thought so much all along-so much that he had almost forgot how to stop thinking. So what would he think about once it was all over?
He wasn't exactly sure himself on that matter. There were so many things he could think about, but if he thought about those things, he would remain in the past when he wanted to be in the future. He also knew thoughts would go away once answered, always staying at the back of your mind until you need it for a split second before you make it disappear again. It was actually useless to be thinking of this matter when he already knew the answer, but yet again...
It still got him thinking.
