Riku is Always Smiling at Sora
Can we take a moment to appreciate that Riku only smiles or laughs mainly when Sora is around.
Not saying he doesn't with other characters but he mainly does that with Sora.
He usually is just serious around them and could be considered rude like in the land of dragons when the others called him rude.
In BBS, when Riku is talking to Terra he is seen smiling because he is talking about wanting the strength to protect the most important person to him (which is heavily implied to be Sora)
Then when Sora calls for Riku, he waves with a smile.
In KH3, he is shown to be talking about Sora with Mickey about how he is able to feel better in the darkness because of Sora. And he smile at that thought.
Then in these manga panels, Riku is smiling because he is with him and he's enjoying that they're together along with their honest conversation.
Then he is always laughing whenever Riku is with him since he is the one who always cheers Riku up.
During KH3 end battles, Riku goes over to Sora to make sure he is okay and seems to smile at Sora to help him feel better.
Nomura even changed the expression of Riku in Remind to not smiling at Naminé.
He smiles/laughs...
Whenever Sora is there
When talking to people about Sora.
When talking to Repliku in KH3.
at Mickey because he helped him through some things. And their dynamic is great.
Sora has Goofy and Donald, Riku got Mickey.
But Riku smiles the most as Sora and it's honestly really cute.
However, it can go the same way for Sora cause he acts sillier and is way more concerned about Riku.
Sora always wears his emotions on his sleeve to everyone and often makes people laugh, but when he's with Riku it's saying something.

My heart is overflowing, so here’s more SoRiku and I needed to do another screenshot redraw.
I’m just addicted to longhair!Riku okay it’s just the way I am. It’s peak shy boy Riku, though my boyfriend pointed out that Riku always has at least some bangs covering his eyes at least a litte. So he was always a sweet soft shy boy all this time, even at his angstiest. I love him so much.
I love their love so much.

Maybe it’s cause I listen to a lot of apocalyptica. Maybe I should blame DDD, but I have this headcanon that Riku plays the Cello…
Don’t ask me give you evidence as to why.
I just, I dunno, I have this image of post CoM/ pre KH2 Riku relearning how to play an instrument he’s played since he was six whilst he’s wearing his blindfold. Just him, in the middle of a big empty room in the twilight town mansion, feeling out the notes and relying only on his ears and fingers to guide his muscles.
Perhaps he’d do it in the quiet moments when he has nothing to do but wait for DiZ to make some headway. Maybe Naminé sneaks into the room to watch him play, and he knows she’s there but he lets it be.
Maybe, after a while it’s his go to therapy when he feels like he’s going to scream or crawl out of his skin.
It’s something Ansem/Zehanort couldn’t do. Something that tied him to who he was. And in a way it became his focus.
Maybe Riku falls back on it while he’s searching for Sora after KH3. He’s so lost and worried and angry that he feels out of control, so he reaches for the blindfold -the one he shoved to the back of his draws and swore he’d never wear again- and wraps it around his eyes.
When he sits down to play, its like sinking into painless sleep after hours of agony. Just the low vibrations of the strings, as he plays out how he feels.
What comes out of the instrument is dark and a little bit broody, and afterwards he feels like an idiot for falling back on that melodramatic feeling to help him cope. But in the moment it helps him purge what he’s feeling so that he can continue the fight.
Maybe Kairi hears. Maybe Leon and the rest of the restoration committee hear it too.
Maybe it reverberates around the castle when he plays and let’s them all know that he needs support.
I dunno man, it’s such a melodramatic headcanon. It’s so emo, that I hate it, but also love it.
I just like the idea of it.
