Summary-

"I finally get the courage to tell him Iike him, and he tells me he has a date tonight. FML."

I do not own anything KH or related to it

Emma belongs to AnimeEmma

'Okay. Okay. I'm gonna do this.' I thought as I stopped in front of the door of the art room. I'd been waiting to do this all week, and pushing myself for the longest time to tell him how I feel, but I've never had the courage to.

But today I could tell I could do this.

I put my hand on the door knob and was about to open it, when the door opened, hitting me in the process.

"Oh, crap! Sorry Emma, that was uh… my bad?" I heard Riku's voice. I rubbed my forehead where I'd been hit and moved some dark brown bangs out of my face as he helped me up. "You okay?"

I nodded, "...Uh… yeah! Yeah, I'm fine." I said, trying to recollect my thoughts. 'Okay… what was I gonna say?' My mind was totally blank now, and all I could really do was just stare.

"Are you sure? You're acting kind of weird…"

"Yeah- Positive! I'm just thinking is all."

"Hm… alright. Hey, I have to tell you something."

I looked at him strangely; usually he just started saying whatever he needed to say without warning.

"Yeah?"

"You know that Kelcie girl?"

"The blonde one?"

"Yeah, that's her."

"What about her?"

"We're going out tonight. Gonna go get some pizza, then maybe a movie. So I'm gonna have to take a raincheck for tonight. We can watch Fairy Tail together some other time, right?"

Well that was surprising.

"Uh- um.. yeah! Yeah, that's fine. You go get 'er, tiger.."

"You sure you're alright with this?"

Did I not sound convincing enough? I thought I did…

"Of course! You're my best friend! Bestie for the restie! And I want you to be happy."

He laughed. "Well… fine. But not because you called us besties for the resties. That was pretty stupid, my friend."

I rolled my semi-blue eyes at him, "Whatever. You go fancy yourself up for your date-"

"Its not a date. We're hanging out."

"Its a date, and if I have to, I will call Kairi and tell her to give you a full on makeover, so go."

"...I don't even want to imagine how that would go. You win, I'm leaving. I'll see you tomorrow, though. I'm not gonna quit on you twice, I promise."

"Yeah, yeah." I said, walking towards the exit.

"So, he just… ditched you, basically?" Kairi asked, taking another drink of her coffee. I don't see how she can drink that stuff, but I guess we're all different.

"I guess you can say that? I don't really know. At least he told me and didn't make me feel like he didn't want to hang out ever again."

"That's true… but still! He coud've planned this date on some other night, not when you two had plans!"

"True… I still wouldn't think much of it though. Its one time, not that big of a deal."

"One time leads to another, which leads to another, and so on. Emma! You've gotta step up your game if you wanna win Riku's heart!"

I thought about her… 'motivational' speech for a second, "Huh...maybe you're right!"

"Of course I am! Now go get 'em, tiger!"

Didn't I say that to Riku earlier?

So, after Kairi almost pushed me to Riku's front door, I was standing there, wondering how I was going to tell him I liked him.

Kairi didn't really help me with that part. I guessed that she wanted me to figure that out myself, or she just forgot.

I was about to knock on the door, but before I could, I was hit in the face.

By the door.

With who behind it?

Riku.

I groaned as I rubbed my head, sitting up. Thank god there were no stairs…

"Crap, why am I always hitting you with doors?" I heard him ask as he helped me up.

"I don't really know, but its gonna have to stop soon. I think I'm going to get a concussion sooner or later…"

"Pff, I don't hit you that hard."

"Oh whatever, Riku, I have to tell you something."

"Well, spill it."

"U-um… I.. I like you."

"I like you too, Emma. And?"

"No- I mean… like like."

"Like like?"

"Yes, like like."

"And how long have you… like liked me?"

"A while. But that's not the point! I just… wanted to tell you, because it felt wrong that you didn't know and… yeah."

"Then I guess you should know that I feel the same."

"Wha-?"

"Do we have to go over this again?"

I exhaled after holding my breath, then laughed. "No, I guess not."

A/N:

Well? I really hope you liked it AnimeEmma, and also, I'm sorry if you didn't really want an AU, I just haven't been in the mood to write stuff canonly!

Also, remember to keep sending me some requests! Next time should be Sokai, but if you guys want a different pairing, I am all for hearing your thoughts!
