" you should be more careful. " murmur scolding, yet soft riku let out a sigh ---- turquoise full of UNHIDDEN worry & warmth. " the world's need you, you dummy. " teasing yet serious statement followed, the older wielders hands gentle as he placed them on sora's shoulders. " --- so . . no more reckless stunts, alright ? " it was wishful thinking, riku knew that. their roles were dangerous, destined maybe & yet he'd not let get danger too close to the smaller wielder. " i --- i need you. "
ᴄʟᴏsᴇ ᴄᴀʟʟ ʜᴀᴅ ʙᴇᴇɴ ᴏᴠᴇʀʟᴏᴏᴋᴇᴅ , ʙʀᴜsʜᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ sɪᴅᴇ ――― ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴏɴᴘʟᴀᴄᴇ ɴᴏᴡ for the wielder of destined light , but riku on the other hand seemed much less willing to simply continue on from one danger to the next . if it weren’t for the worry lacing teal hues sora would’ve felt the urge to tease , offer joke that he knows him better than to expect any of sora’s movements to be based on careful precision and planning , but perhaps such joke should wait for a moment less straining .
silly humour was supposed to be uplifting , not stressing .
expression softened at that final confession , heart singing , sora really couldn’t win when riku’s wishes were on the line . ❝ sorry ――― force of habit . ❞ kindhearted wielder never had been the safest of boys ; memories of home caked with endless scrapes and cuts setting a sweet ache into bones ――― but for dawncrossed other dull , ordinary boy would gladly try his best .
❝ right … ❞ oceanswept globes glance elsewhere , a hand rubbing the back of his neck ――― modest / bashful . sora never once saw himself as something that special . but … it was nice to be needed , especially after the unfortunate loss of power giving self─confidence a distinct hit . ❝ i’ll be careful . no more reckless stunts . ❞ brunet repeated promisingly ――― how long would he be able to keep that up , he wondered ?
