Chain of Memories and KH2 are very similar and it all has to do with Sora forgetting his memories.

In Chain of Memories Sora goes through trying to find Riku. He just wants to have him back, but then those feelings are switched for Naminé.

When he reunites with Naminé he believes she is very special to her. Before going to see her, he gets upset when he believes someone else hinders his ability to see Naminé.

Now switch to KH2, we see Sora just wants to find Riku so badly again. Then he sees Mickey might have known where he is, but won't tell Sora. This causes Sora to get upset. He also gets upset on the Land of Dragon's when realizes it is Riku there. He doesn't understand why he left without saying anything. He then cries for joy because he finds out he is around and misses him so much.

Now we're going to switch to parallels and the developers decided to make Disney couples parallel Soriku (and RepliSora / SoRepliku).

First we have Beauty and the Beast. In COM when Sora tries to find Riku, Sora exclaims how he went all that way just to find him. Repliku is annoyed and says that Sora's motives changed (as Naminé replaces his memories with wanting to find her instead). Repliku dismisses him and he doesn't want to go back with him. At one part Sora wants to help him and Naminé, but Repliku tells him he doesn't need to be rescued.

In COM, we see both Belle and the Beast. We first see them as Belle tells the Beast she doesn't want him there. The beast is confused because he came there to rescue her. Belle informs him that she isn't going back with him. The scene then ends.

It's just crazy how we have a Disney Couple and then Repliku and Sora. We have a Disney romantic couple parallel to them. And throughout the series we have Disney couples parallel them so much. Riku is constantly being compared to Disney princesses, while Sora is shown to be his knight.

Then comes KH2. We all know how Riku decides to sacrifice his form in order to save Sora. By doing that he is now in darkness and doesn't like how he looks. It's why he helped Sora from afar and didn't want him to see his appearance. Sora then reassures Riku that it doesn't matter what he looks like or if he changes because to Sora, he will always be Riku.

Beauty and the Beast is about appearances and your actions. It's about who could love someone such as himself with how "hideous" he looks. However, despite how he looks she learns to love him as he grows into a better person. It has nothing to do with his appearance not looking "societial good looking" and loves him despite looking that way.

Both KH2 and COM compare Soriku (and SoRepliku) to Belle and the Beast. It even parallels Sora seeing Naminé again which is implied to be replaced memories from Riku.

Repliku states to Sora how his motivation changed and that Sora is now looking for Naminé. He was looking for Riku at first but when his memories got tampered with it changed to her. A part of him is upset regarding this.

I want to make an analysis on Repliku as well

Finally when he reunited with her it was quite similar to when he reunited with Riku in kh2. As soon as they closed the door at the end of KH1 and fixed everything, at once he wanted to find Riku. However those feelings soon changed to him wanting to find Naminé.

Reminder I believe Naminé replaced both memories of Riku and Kairi

However, at the end of the day Sora chose to forget his new memories and when he does wake up, once again he is wanting to find Riku..

I did all the ships I could think of for Riku that exists and because I couldn't think of anymore I added Repliku and data to the mix

If you'd asked Riku why he'd spilled his feelings to Sora, he wouldn't have been able to tell you.
