Chapter Text
(This... is how it's supposed to be.. right?)
Riku sat with his thoughts for less than 2 seconds before he got dragged out of his daze by Cherrys sister yelling about how she was done with her food and wanted to go watch TV. That was a wake up call to Rikus mom that they should start heading out and back home.
"Well Riku I think we've talked enough for one night, lets go before they kick us out, hm?" Rikus mom stood and gave Cherrys mom a hug as Riku stood to grab his and his moms plate to take to the kitchen sink.
(Me and Cherry can't be anything more than just classmates... no way he thought we were becoming friends all this time.. right?) As he rinses the dishes in the dishwasher, Cherry walks up from behind him.
"Excuse me" Cherry says with no emotion in his voice as Riku moves out of the way for Cherry to put down some dishes as well to be rinsed. Riku considers saying bye to Cherry as his mom was waiting at the door for him but he didn't want to engage with Ambrose any more than he needed to.
"Bye guys have a great night!" Rikus mom said as they left the house and went to her car.
The drive home was quiet as usual, halfway through, Riku decided to connect his phone to the car speaker to play some music. Faye Webster never fails to calm him down, although he never really knew his heart was racing this much before.. maybe he was just too spaced out or distracted to notice, the usual for a late night.
As Riku went to bed after saying goodnight to his mom, he got dressed and finally got to lay with his thoughts that night.
(Why did he look like that... All I said was to stop pretending that us being close was real and that it all ends tomorrow... God I have a headache.)
The Egg sits sad and droopy.
