"Sora’s feelings for you can be summed up by he isn’t sure it he wants to BE you or be with you."

he---- isn't sure what to make of this information, especially when it comes from a faceless figure from the shadows.

it certainly makes him pensive, contemplative, if only for a moment - but he's more defensive than anything, one sharp, silver brow raising in question.

he's known sora for all his life, & they'd become more open with each other since the fight with xemnas, what felt like a lifetime ago - surely if sora was having such thoughts, such doubts, he'd tell him about it personally.

right?

"i like to think that if sora was having such thoughts, he'd come to me himself to talk about it."

the statement he's made , if perhaps a little too close to dangerous topics for comfort , is worth it for the small look of bafflement that crosses his companion's face -- though riku knows he shouldn't , he can't help the small quirk of a smile that curls one corner of his lips , amusement passing as a puff of laughter from his chest , even if he does try to hide it behind one of his hands , raised toward his lips .

he has to find amusement in the small things , after all - even if he does immediately sober up at the follow - up queries bounced back from his own question . though , the pure confusion at what he's said does fill him with a little bit of hope -- if such a question is so strange as to be visibly out of place in a world like this , perhaps this is one of the quieter worlds . maybe he was simply sent here by mistake ( he's learned to put little to no stock in 'coincidence' or 'chance' ) , or something led him astray .

he's gone from living a quiet island life to fighting to stay alive as a keyblade wielder - he of all people knows that his line of work isn't normal , & definitely isn't experienced by the general masses ; at least , not on the majority of worlds he's been to . places like the land of departure were an exception , or so he'd come to learn , worlds which had been created for the very basis of teaching tens , if not hundreds , of wielders .

but , for a little town like this who had police patrolling the streets , it seemed to confirm for him that such people didn't exist here -- or , at least if they did , it was definitely a secretive affair , one that didn't involve itself with---- whatever he'd encountered tonight .

' should ... should i be worrying about something ? strange like as in ... how ? '

' .... not from what i've seen , '

is his eventual response , slightly quiet , almost hesitant , yet calm ; a definitive answer on the topic feels too early to give , & most worlds he'd been to only ever seemed to encounter the danger after his arrival ---- but it was always good to check .

' ---- let's just say that my travels normally only bring me to places that are in trouble . trouble they can't usually handle without ... outside interference . '

he might ask an occasionally strange question , but he still knows to maintain world order - divulging his entire being , who he was & what he did , was out of the question , at least voluntarily ; sometimes it couldn't be helped . but at least for now , it didn't seem necessary to provide too much information .

---- his name , of course , would be a good start , he would admit - though he knew there had been more pressing matters at hand , he was almost surprised they'd gotten this far without proper introductions .

' i'm riku . i guess you could say i'm a traveller ; i help those i meet when they're in trouble . '

& a little pause , to let his companion process - maybe to let both of them process , just a little bit ,

' what about you ? '

' worse --- ?! ' worse ... ?!

consider the boy equally baffled . if something like this was 'more normal' ... then just what kind of crazy situations was the other getting into ?! certainly , phantom thievery and the scrambling searchlight chaos that ensued on clear nights like these was a bloodless crime at best and a shocking nuisance at worst , but it's still difficult to imagine worse .

what could there possibly have been ? personal muggings at first arrival ? a witnessed murder ? an attempted one ? azumano was a quiet , picturesque little prefecture . apart from the infamous fallen angel plaguing its prized artworks and the minds of its every inhabitant , things rarely disturbed its crawling vines and rose-gardens .

the expression that daisuke lends is thus left blank and blatantly empty-headed .

' uh ... ' should he make mention of the existence of magic ? ... definitely not . in the first place , his stories always turned into fairy-tales ; make-believe . nobody would listen to the absurdities of a boy spouting tales of other-worldly labyrinths behind mysteriously decorate school-doors or crowns that cursed and petrified human hearts .

gulping a little and deciding on his answer , daisuke's head slowly shakes . ' should ... should i be worrying about something ? ' normalcy had died away so long ago for him , but if there was something that he could do , and trouble was brewing on the horizon --- ' strange like as in ... how ? '

the treasure he's reclaimed is tucked away . zipped up into a deep pocket where , at least for now , it would no longer be clumsily dropped or lost , with any meager luck . ' i'm sorry , i don't think i got your name , either ... um , if it's okay for me to ask --- w-what ... who are you ? '

#dnangelic #we love miyu irino okay he's precious hjkdfhgjk #him and his two little sunshine characters #not me just realising the significance of riku's name and daisuke probably having an internal '????' #then again the name 'riku' is probably fairly common so?? guess we'll find out hjdfkhg #replying to your letters. / replies.

the grimace that graces his companion's face is so instantaneous it almost gives riku whiplash - & the stuttering attempt at denial , the excuses that come after , only make riku even more suspicious .

the scenario is as confusing as it is concerning - he's not really sure what to make of it , though he has come to trust his own sense in people & their character , as of late - especially more than he used to .

he doesn't seem like a bad person - bafflling , perhaps , clumsy & easily flustered ( or maybe riku's just pressed the right buttons ) - but there's something there , something that makes even riku feel at ease around him . he reminds him of sora , just a little bit , with his laugh & attempt at a reassuring smile , endearing even with its holes .

' i ... um , sorry ... it's --- probably not the kind of first experience you were expecting , aha ... '

' i've had worse , '

maybe it's telling a bit too much , or maybe it'll just be a response that's as baffling to his companion as the previous conversations have been to him ; but either way , it's not wrong , & makes a hint of a smile curl at the edge of his lips in amusement as he shifts to lean better against the wall ,

' this has probably been one of the more normal encounters i've had in a while . '

& as strange as the encounter has been , he does appreciate the help - it's been easier than he'd expected , in his travel through worlds , to find kind , sincere people who were willing to lend a hand . but maybe that's just been his luck ; he's also seen the darkness that can hide behind others in those same worlds , too .

his eyes drift off in the direction they'd come at the advice to keep away from the museum , & he makes a mental note to avoid it , at least for the evening - but the looming shadows of the alleyways remind him of the only reason he'd ever really be in a world like this to begin with----

' tell me ---- have you had anything strange happening lately ? '

a poor question , perhaps , given everything---

' ---- stranger than usual ? '

uh oh .

sure as his grimace , he's made some kind of horrible mistake . they're not a local , ( tokyo ?! a visitor from tokyo , maybe ?! ) and that's reassuring in its own way . anyone else being pulled away from the dramatic scene and theatrical stage of dark's heist would have had either relentless complaint or blatant suspicions , though he's getting the feeling ---

the other's become plenty suspicious of him already , anyways .

' n-n-nothing special is going on ! ' it's quite the bold lie to tell even to a fresh , oblivious tourist . one holding an immensely priceless artwork in their grasp and seemingly none-the-wiser about it . lips twist upwards in an attempt at a reassuring smile , but the cold sweat at the niwa's temples alongside the red-flush deepening at his cheeks only worsens the impression of his anxiety .

crap . crap . how many of these verbally dug holes could he cover back up ?!

' i mean --- uh ! wah ! haha ! ' the laugh is more than a little forced as he tries to retrieve what he's stolen , back into the nervous gloved clutch of his hands . to think that even the smallest boxes like these would still cause so much trouble for just about everyone involved . ' n-no --- ! nevermind ! definitely not ! the artworks , alive ?! i mean , that'd be pretty crazy , right ?! totally not normal ! they're definitely not alive anywhere ! '

( ... good grief . )

he can feel dark's sigh within him . it's heavier and duller than the sharp whet of the phantom thief's razor stare , one that's been watching hawkishly from the start . suspicion from an invisible distance wasn't unusual for the boy's other self , but the dropped guard eases the anxious host a little .

( relax . just take it slow , daisuke . if he wanted to antagonize you , he would've done it already by now . )

' i ... um , sorry ... it's --- probably not the kind of first experience you were expecting , aha ... ' stressful and frantic , a unique azumano event , but the boy does his best to brighten in a better , far more genuine way this time . ' thank you for helping me with this . um , if you've only just arrived , do you need directions to a hotel or something ... ? '

sure , he should've brought the artwork home as soon as he could , but that didn't mean leaving this person without returning the favor of a little assistance , right ?

' everyone's probably still around the museum . as long as you go around that one , you shouldn't be bothered ! '

#dnangelic #i love how basically nothing is actually happening but these two are still somehow just awkward flustered chaos - it's great hjdfkgh #riku: exists #daisuke: here's the entire plot of this little town - police & thieves & magic artwork

HURT / COMFORT : STARTERS

a collection of quotes, phrases, and sayings for when your muse needs a little TLC. change & alter as needed.

THE HURT:

“Nah, it’s not that bad. I’ve had worse.”

“I don’t think I can walk that far… or at all.”

“I’m sorry, I’m just—I’m just really tired.”

“I don’t need a break. I’m okay.”

“It was my fault. It was all my fault.”

“I think I need help.”

“So, I don’t think I’m dying, or anything, and it’s probably not that serious, but… I’m kinda bleeding. A lot.”

“Is the room spinning right now, or is that just me?”

“No, I’m okay, I just… I hit my head. Really hard. I’ll be okay, just give me a second.”

“I’m not sick! I’m fine!”

“No, I don’t think any of my bones are broken, or anything like that. Just bad bruises.”

“Yeah, but you should see the other guy.”

“I’m fine. This just happens sometimes. It’s normal for me.”

“I’ve got a headache.”

“Seriously, though, I’m fine! Stop making such a big deal out of it!”

“I’ve been taking care of myself for a long time. I don’t need your help, and I definitely don’t need your pity. Fuck off.”

“Please tell me I don’t look as bad as I feel.”

“I think I’m running a fever.”

“So, what’s the prognosis, Doc? Am I gonna live?”

“Stop fussing over me! I’m not a baby!”

“Can I stay with you tonight? I just… really don’t want to be alone right now.”

“No, I-I’m okay. It was just a nightmare. Go back to sleep.”

“I… can’t actually remember the last time I had something to eat.”

“You shouldn’t be here. You’ll get sick, too.”

THE COMFORT:

“Honey, have you been crying? What is it? What’s wrong?”

“I think you’d better take a break.”

“It’s not your fault, sweetheart. You did everything you could.”

“You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m right here for you if you’ll just let me in.”

“There’s nothing wrong with you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Don’t ever let yourself believe that there is.”

“You really don’t realize just how many people love you, do you?”

“If you’re not going to take care of yourself, at least let me do it for you!”

“I’m sorry. I know it hurts.”

“You’re not alone, baby. You never have been.”

“Let’s get you some food.”

“You’re dead on your feet, poor thing. Come on, you need some sleep.”

“Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you.”

“Tell me where it hurts.”

“How many times have I told you to be more careful?!”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m right here, okay? I’m not gonna leave you. I’m never gonna leave you.”

“Oh, honey, you’re safe now. I promise. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”

“Go ahead and take a shower. I’ll fix you something to eat.”

“What happened to you, baby?”

“I’ll kill that bastard. I’ll kill him for what he did to you.”

“You look like shit, man.”

“Whoa, whoa, take it easy! You got pretty banged up back there, and you don’t want to go making yourself worse.”

“I’m not trying to baby you. It’s called taking care of my friends.”

“Sweetheart, you’re burning up! Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you tell anyone you were sick?”

admittedly , he had been reluctant to visit the Castle of Dreams upon Fairy Godmother's recommendation of it -- ❛ oh , i'm sure Cinderella will have some kind words for you , my dear - she knows much about hopes & dreams , especially of the heart ❜ -- but the more he thought about it , the more curious he had grown ---- that , & perhaps it was out of some desperation , the desire to have some sort of lead , anything before traversing to wherever Fairy Godmother would send him to find sora , that he had ended up here .

in the occasional moments of reprieve that terra , aqua & ventus would have from the realm of darkness , they told him stories of their 'ventures - their journey through the Castle of Dreams had been one he'd enjoyed , particularly from the perspectives of terra & aqua . now , meeting the princess whom they'd all adored , he could see why they had been so drawn to her & her story - her light , Princess or no , was bright, her enthusiasm infectious , & for just a little while , riku found it a bit easier to forget his worries .

ㅤㅤ❛ i'd love for you to join him when the time comes , kairi , too . to host the three of you , reunited after all this madness , well ... ... it would be a dream come true , now wouldn't it ? ❜

a dream come true indeed , something they hadn't had in quite some time ; riku finds his lips quirking slightly at the invitation , the thought of it making a comfortable warmth settle in his heart . would there be a ball to celebrate sora's return ? would they finally be able to let him participate in the celebrations they'd tried to have more than a year ago , to congratulate him on his aid in saving the worlds from the war Xehanort had wrought ? would they have to dress up fancily , dresses , suits & all , like he'd heard from the Fairy Godmother ? such an event would be new to him , sora & kairi , of course , but after all they had been through , something new & exciting as that , with all of their friends , would be more than deserved .

then again , perhaps he was asking too much - even something small & simple , just like this , a luncheon or tea party with the three of them ; that would be more than enough .

ㅤㅤ❛ i think he'd like that - we all would . it's been -- a long year , for all of us . & even before that , it's been a long time since we've had time to do anything together . ❜

he jolts slightly at her request , & watches as she gently , daintily , takes his cup for a refresher . her words twitch a smile back onto his face , a little bit more permanent than the last , & a small bubble of laughter that surprises even him , for the most part .

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❛ 'unique' is one way to put it ; i was surprised by it at first , but ---- the more i've had it , the more i've grown used to it . ❜

a pause , small , as he reflects a little bit more - though at least it's on happier times , the moments Fairy Godmother has taken to comfort him through his difficulties ,

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❛ do you have it often ? with fairy godmother ? ❜

a warmth emits from her memory ; images of familiar faces — smiles — flutter through the forefront of her mind . ( kairi , ven ... aqua , terra ! ) ella's expression mirrored her thoughts , the corners of rose - colored lips curled upwards just so . a delight recount despite the darkness that plagued the circumstances / then , even now . it seemed sorrow followed sora to many places along his journey , the princess admired hearing of his strength through every trial ... the news of his disappearance was a tragedy for all that know and know of him . an aching heart at the thought , but she remained hopeful for his safe return . higher powers were in play , for they must be —— fairy godmother had been away from their little kingdom for quite some time ... she could only assume the same might be said for merlin and the good fairies . for a light within the dark can always be found in a friend ; words one could live by ... perhaps this was the reason for their peculiar visit : a friend ... a light . not that riku needed one , of course — a reason .

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❛ why , yes —— i suppose i do . and we are in the castle of dreams , after all , ❜ a jovial hum . ❛ however unfortunately , i've not yet had the pleasure of meeting the infamous sora ; though i am looking forward to the day i finally get the opportunity . ❜

cinderella shifted in her seat , ankles switched at a cross . with grace , she sets her teacup on their shared table / hands returned to her lap , laid overtop one another . her demeanor had become more serious , though her tone was soft as ever .

ㅤㅤ❛ i'd love for you to join him when the time comes , kairi , too . to host the three of you , reunited after all this madness , well ... ... it would be a dream come true , now wouldn't it ? ❜

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❛ here , let me warm your tea with a top - up . i hope the blend is okay , it's one of fairy godmother's ... she has a unique taste ! ❜

if there's anything else the universe should have taught him , it's that some worlds - if not most he's been to - tend to have the worst timing . the sound of patrolling boots makes his grip on the box tighten , more out of instinct than anything , & though he has no trouble keeping up with the suddenly-agile footsteps of the red-headed teen , even he has to let out a small sound of startlement at being yanked through alleyways & even further into the deep , damp derelicts of the city .

there's a few pausing moments where they both seem to stand & wait , apprehensive , listening for other echoing noises besides their own breathing - but when it passes , even riku is inclined to loosen his shoulders , catching a few breaths , shoulder pressed against the nearby wall for balance .

' g ... gah --- i think --- ? it's safe ... '

those words , somehow , feel like they're just calling on the world to threaten otherwise , especially with how they nearly sound like more of a question - so riku doesn't hold his breath , though he does find his lips curling , amused , at one corner , a small huff of laughter echoing in the open air .

' are ... are you okay ? '

the question almost feels baffling , like riku should be the one asking it , given how out of breath the now - slumped stranger ( thief ? ) seems to be ---- then again , it did seem like he had done a lot more running over the evening than riku himself had , so perhaps that was why .

' i'm fine , '

perhaps 'fine' was not quite the word to use , but it was the only one he could deem appropriate - other options included 'confused', 'baffled', 'concerned', among other things , but those seem secondary , especially when he hears what comes next :

' i ... sorry , but --- it probably wouldn't have been good if you had gotten caught either ... '

& if nothing else had given off ringing bells before now , those words probably would - though given he's only been in this world for less than a few hours , & hasn't even met anybody else on his travels , it's difficult to tell if the reason for the danger is because of the police patrolling the street , or the new companion he's made .

something tells him it might be a little bit of both - & that's maybe the most concerning thought of all .

' where in the world did you come from , anyways ? everyone --- i mean , i thought that alleyway was supposed to be totally empty ! you're ... not the artwork , are you ? '

---- 'confused' is definitely now the word to use ; even in the darkened tunnels, where there's even less light than before , riku can't help but raise an eyebrow ; though whether it's noticed or not is difficult to tell .

' i was just travelling through ---- '

not a lie , at least not in its entirety - though why he was travelling through this particular place , even he couldn't tell ; he just went wherever his keyblade brought him on his travels through the Lanes Between , these days ,

' ---- i'd only just arrived here ; i didn't realise there was anything-- special , going on . '

speaking of special , & mention of the artwork - now that the silence is just them & the alleyways , he dares to hold it out in the space between them - such a little box , but one even he could tell felt heavier , somehow , than it should .

' can artworks .... live , here ? '

a silly question to ask , perhaps , given the places he's been , the things he's seen ; like the Symphony of Sorcery , where music was the magic that powered the realm - but a necessary question , all the same , if only to gather some more context about this world in general .

' t-that's it ! ' shock , and then overwhelming relief --- his jaw drops before his lips lift into a wonder-filled , awestruck smile . ' thank you ! thank goodness ... ! '

not wanting to snatch it rudely out of the other's hands , his own gloved palms open in the careful shape of a catching basket , hoping that the safe treasure might be deposited within it ...

... but though the sirens have started to spread out and away and the countless guards stationed at the museum would be thinned into all sorts of directions , it doesn't spare the alleyway they're in . the familiar sound of cop-boots on pavement startle him , and in an instant , instead of merely snatching the box back , he takes tight hold of the other's wrist .

at a speed that his small , somewhat fabric-swamped figure should have denied , daisuke races the two out of them even deeper into the darkness . azumano's underground was a labyrinth of abandoned , derelict waterways , and though his every panting , gasping breath seems to bounce off walls and into infinite tunnels as he guides them into them , he's relieved not to hear any other foreign sound returned .

' g ... gah --- i think --- ? it's safe ... ' at least for now .

his hand falls over his eyes the instant he's spoken , and he's likewise quick to land his back against a wall , sink and slump .

' are ... are you okay ? ' ( forget that , daisuke --- why did you bring him with you ?! ) well --- instinct , force of habit , and besides , the other was still holding the artwork . ' i ... sorry , but --- it probably wouldn't have been good if you had gotten caught either ... ' and of course , the most essential , bewildering question .

' where in the world did you come from , anyways ? everyone --- i mean , i thought that alleyway was supposed to be totally empty ! ' 100% ! ' you're ... not the artwork , are you ? ' it might have been an absurd sounding question , but after the likes of towa and baku --- the boy was ready to accept just about anything !

#dnangelic #riku and his internal monologue should also know better than to judge a young teenage boy - given he knows sora hdfjkgh #but also daisuke's just 'where in the world did you come from?' and riku just 'well you see----' hjdfkgh
