Brunette hair strands flowing with the wind. Sky blue eyes that he would let trap him. Soft golden skin adorned with freckles. And that laugh, oh that laugh that Riku would recognise even if he was engulfed in the deepest of darkness.
It was him, there was no doubt to it, this was Sora. Riku couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't move, couldn't react. He found him, he actually found him. After a whole year apart, after twelve long months of searching, of despair, of thinking he would never see him, he finally found him...
Riku doesn't know how long he has been standing there, just staring mindlessly at Sora, he felt as if time had stopped the moment he layed his eyes on him, he didn't even know what to do, how he should go about it, how he would react facing him, he just stood there, watching...
And if it wasn't for Sora who had turned around and started heading Lord knows where, he probably wouldn't have moved. He didn't mean to, his body moved on it's own really, the moment he saw him heading out, he just couldn't stand there anymore, he had to stop him. He couldn't let him go again, not again, never again
Riku grabed Sora's arm. He didn't know how he got to him this fast, nor when his body even moved, it just did. Sora looked back at him, and he couldn't believe it, those blue eyes were on him, his Sora's eyes were finally on him again, after so long. Riku could've cried from happiness at that moment, if it wasn't for one thing...
Sora's eyes widened for a couple of seconds, and then he stood there looking at Riku with perplexity. And for once, Riku wished he couldn't tell, for once, he wished he couldn't read Sora like an open book. Because those weren't the eyes he was expecting to greet him, this wasn't how his Sora looked at him.
"Sora..."
Riku finally let out, voice weak, almost shaky. And as a response, the only thing he was allowed to get was an appologetic smile from the boy, and a question that he swore, dug a hole in his chest.
"I'm sorry but... do we know each other?"
Riku's world was shattered as those words escaped the brunette's mouth. And before Riku could process anything, someone approached them. Yet his gaze remained on Sora, he could only focus on him, no one else mattered at that moment.
And oh did seeing this hurt... He saw a smile on his face. A smile that shone like the sun. A smile bright as the stars. The same smile that was usually only attributed to Riku. A smile that if it wasn't for someone else, Riku would've melted on the spot. He missed that smile. but it wasn't for him, and oh did that hurt...
"Sora? Who is this?"
Riku finally looked up to see who was the person that could get such an expression out of Sora. But what he saw made everything he felt disapear. The expression of shock and confusion on his face was appearent. He was dumbfounded... How was that possible? This didn't make any sence... This couldn't be, right?
"Yozora, there you are!"
Who was this guy?!
