Roxas & Naminé are Twins
While Naminé considers herself a Mutant Nobody of Kairi, it is CANONICAL that it was Sora doing THIS
Tumblr media
"created" Roxas and Naminé.
Excluding the presence of Donald & Goofy, there are THIRTEEN HEARTS involved in this scene:
all seven hosts of the Primordial X-blade's Light, six within the Keyblade of Heart that Sora uses to "unlock" himself;
the Darkened Hearts within Said Keyblade's creator: Riku, as possessed by Terra (as possessed by Xehanort);
the Morally Dubious heart of Eraqus, hidden within Terra so as to settle its Decades Long Marriage Dispute with Xehanort;
the Hearts within Sora's: his own; Kairi's, the final host of the First X-blade's Light; & Ventus, recovering survivor from Xehanort's LAST attempt at forging a x-blade.
With so many Hearts involved in their creation, all of them Powerful in Light &/or Darkness, it is little wonder that the Twin Nobodies Roxas and Naminé are such Magical Powerhouses.
Roxas being able to Dual Wield Keyblades, regardless of how un/entangled he may be with the Hearts of Sora&Ventus or Xion at any given time, seemed to have a simple explanation: Roxas has 1 Keyblade for each Heart he "had", 1 from Sora & 1 from Ventus).
Except... Roxas had a Heart of his own the whole time.
"Roxas only has two hands" is a Valid Point, as is "the 2 Hearts were those of Ventus and Roxas, Sora's Heart was with his Heartless": neither point addresses Roxas retaining his ability to dual-wield keyblades in KH3.
It's Plausible that Roxas is currently capable of dual-wielding keyblades due to his Replica body hosting both the Roxas Heart yeeted from Sora AND at least 1 Data Roxas, as sourced from Data Twilight Town &/or The Garden Of Assemblage (the Secret Boss Room in KH2 which hosts Data copies of the Organization XIII members players defeat).
It seems more likely, however, that these Hearts would "merge" into 1 Roxas: the Hearts (& memories) developed by other Organization XIII members (excluding Xion & Xemnas) seem to have merged or otherwise integrated with those of their Others upon "recompletion".
The Heart (& memories) of Saïx & Axel were inherited by the "recompleted" Isa & Lea.
This seamless integration was likely due to there being no conflicting memories between their time as Nobodies and as [Recompleted Persons], all "parts" having accepted each other as being "one soul".
...something that would ALSO be true for the Roxas within Sora's Heart and any Data Copies of him added to their new Replica body.
So, unless we see Axel Dual-Wielding Keyblades in a future game, the "simple" explanations for why Roxas has that ability are most likely related to the context of his & Naminé's creation, born of sacrifice and all of the [Primordial X-Blade's Light] and [Whatever The Heck Riku Is].
The only other characters seen dual-wielding keyblades are Xion (who was siphoning memories & power from Sora, Riku Replica, & Roxas), Sora (with his Heart Hotel)... and Riku.
Riku, who casually forges new, unique keyblades at will. Riku, whose 1 Heart forged the currently & simultaneously-wielded keyblades of Sora (Kingdom Key), Kairi (Destiny's Embrace) &, potentially, King Mickey (Kingdom Key-D). Riku, whose reaction to his own (also distinct & simultaneously existent) keyblade breaking was "guess I'll summon a new one now" and then DOES THAT, when AQUA needed the miraculous connections she had with 3 other people (all of them in varying states of not-alive) to summon the keyblade BEQUEATHED to her (Master's Defender, the keyblade wielded in-life by Eraqus, and a keyblade inherited by pupils from Masters in a tradition begun by Ephemer after HIS receiving the keyblade from Brain).
Riku, who was used to forge the very Keyblade of Heart that created Roxas & Naminé im the first place!
(Riku is NOT NORMAL, okay? and this was true WELL before he casually became Sora's Dream Eater AND JUST AS CASUALLY CHANGED BACK: for humans, the transformation to "spirit" tends to be FINAL and ONE-WAY)
Other Assorted Oddities:
Sora gained a new body independently from Roxas (or Naminé, in KH1.
Ventus, the "third" Heart credited with the creation of Roxas, had his body VERY safely secured in Castle Oblivion by Aqua and seems utterly unaffected by either Nobody's creation & all subsequent shenanigans.
Kairi had been functioning as her own Nobody for almost the entirery of KH1: this again underscores how ??? Naminé's existence is.
with the exceptions of Goofy and Beast, ALL the characters at Hollow Bastion when Sora "unlocked" himself were probably capable of making Sora a "new" body (together if not individually, in the cases of the Disney Princesses & Kairi). it would have been somewhat out of character for Maleficent or Xehanort's Heartless but Riku is VERY WEIRD and he had some influence with both of them at that time: Riku may have summoned up a new body for Sora in the same way he summons new heart swords. It does, however, seem most likely that Sora's Magical Recompletion was a Joint Effort from the Princesses of Heart (as channeled by Kairi).
Kairi, as a Princess of Heart/Vessel of Light, cannot form a Heartless nor a Nobody: this is something brought up by multiple differently well-informed sources of worldbuilding lore. Naminé CANNOT be Kairi's Nobody: her being a Twin Nobody of Sora, alongside Roxas, makes much more sense even without the Additional Factors of Princess Hearts and Riku's role in turning Said Hearts into a Magic Key Sword that Sora stabbed himself with.
Vanitas???
i am belatedly realising that from a Certain (Very Crack) POV, the way i've described Roxas and Namimé's "birth" kind of mkes them fit the Criterium for being that "Child of Destiny" thing. since 2 of their "parents" (Riku & thus, through Gay Love, Sora) ARE said Child of Destiny. Naminé & Roxas as "Grandchildren of Destiny?"
Naminé's powers over Memory seem more in line with the (implied) capabilities of the Princesses of Heart working collectively than any of them individually: this may be a Plot Point, when the New Seven Lights are assembled, or have already played off in that First, "Doomed" Timeline of KH3's Keyblade War (thus Naminé's presence in the Final World & the weird "death" Kairi had in Timeline 2).
All of the above (crack included) are Additional Complications to the assumption that "Roxas is Sora's Nobody and Naminé is Kairi's".
While all four characters in that equation "agree" with this assumption does mean that it is "true": it does not at all, however, seem to be entire "Truth". ,

The Rose of Dressrosa- Chapter 4
Hello! Sorry, I've been MIA recently. Things have not been great recently but I am hopeful everything will work out. Thank you to everyone who has been very supportive of this blog and of my writing it brings me so much happiness. :)
Anyway... As always please enjoy the next chapter!
Also, I'm about halfway through Whole Cake Island and O. M. G.!
Trafalgar D. Law x Fem!Reader
Chapter List
Summary:
After King Riku is dethroned, Doflamingo takes you under his wing and asks you to follow only one strict rule, "do not leave the palace alone". However, your sense of adventure is too great.
Law had only one thing in mind... Revenge. And you seemed like the best way to do that.
Warnings: Dark themes, manipulation

Chapter 4
Bada Bada Bada….
Bada Bada Bada….
Bada Bada-
Click.
“Bepo, you there?”
“Captain?” Bepo's voice came clearly out of the snail. “Did you find what you were looking for?
“Yeah.” Was all Law said.
“Great! When are we leaving?”
“Change of plans, I have to stay a little longer and I don’t know when we’ll leave."
“What!” Bepo shouted.
“Just tell everyone to hang tight.” He tells his first mate, “There's a girl-”
“A GIRL! Seriously!” 
“Not like that!” Law said irritated, “I think I may have found a weak link in The Donquixote Family.” 
“But Captain-”
“Just tell everyone to hang tight. This will all be over soon.” 
“But-”
Click. 
Law humed amusedly as he recalled how you attempted to hide your excitement. It was so easy for him to convince you to meet him later tonight. Oh yes, his new plan for Doflamingo's downfall was well on its way.  He just had to get through tonight. His smile grew at the thought of you.  Obviously, you were some poor helpless little princess who was in over her head and was too trusting for your own good. He just knew it. 
-----
Quickly you walked through the secret passageway you were only a few minutes late. No one would notice. Hopefully…
When you open the secret entry no one is around. Taking a sigh of relief, you act as if you are just coming from your room.
Rounding the corner and came face to face with the closed fist of a green-haired bitch. You duck at the incoming swing and bring your leg up to sweep her leg. Monet was able to jump over your leg, and throw a punch in your direction again you dodge. You were so wrapped up in the fight that you accidentally dropped your book. As you watched it land on the expensive hardwood floor with a thud, Monet used this to her advantage and managed to back you into the wall of the corridor.  
“You're late.” She sounded bored as she pined your body against the wallpaper with her arm.
“Sorry. Couldn't be helped.” You told her not really feeling sorry at all.
“Training began ten minutes ago. Where were you?” Monet asked coldly. 
“She was with me,” Violet’s voice rang out, causing Monet to release you. The dark-haired woman walked to where you were standing, placing a hand on your shoulder. “I had some business in town and asked Y/N if she wanted to join.”
Monet blinked, “I see.” 
You're about ninety percent sure the green-haired woman did not believe her. But she couldn't prove otherwise. Finally, Monet's eyes looked back at you, “I expect to see you in the courtyard in ten minutes.” 
When Monet began to walk away she kicked the book out of her path, causing your anger to rise. You moved to follow her to let your fists do the talking, but you were pulled back by the woman who covered for you. 
Your head rounded back and Violet's face looked sour, “What the hell are you thinking?” 
“I’m thinking how can she walk with a huge stick up her ass.”
“Don't get smart,” Violet hissed, “What if you had been caught.”
You rolled your eyes, “But I didn't.”
“Get serious” The older woman scoffed, “What if I hadn't been here to help you.”
“But you were.”
“Yes now.”
“I'll just be more cautious next time.” you shrug out of her grasp and bend down to pick up your book.
“Next time?!” She said, alarmed, and massaged her temple as if she had a sudden headache. “If Doflamingo catches you, you could be in serious trouble.”
“Then I would just tell him I’m sorry.” you began to walk away, but she caught your arm again.
“You're being naive, the Young Master doesn't want to hear ‘sorry’”, she actually looked genuinely concerned about you. “He wants you to obey his orders. Please, Y/N. Don’t make him any more angry than he already is.”
—-
“Again.”  Monet circled you, as you had your eyes closed and palms facing outward, “Focus.”  
“I am.” you retorted. A part of you wanted to roll your eyes. You had been at this for months with almost no progress made.
“Focus harder, then,” she spat.
So you did, and in the grassy knoll that was created just for you in the training area of the courtyard. Eventually, a seedling sprouted small at first and began morphing into a full-grown tree that would have taken years to grow. Monet walked to it to see the fruit it bore. 
Reaching in the green lush she picked the fruit off the branch, “Peaches.” she said flatly.
“I’m doing the best I can,” you cross your arms at her disappointment.
“Well it's not good enough,” She growls. “The Young Master expects Devil Fruits.” 
“Why does Doffy even care about them?” You ask aggravated at her constant criticisms, “It's not like he can eat another.”
“Devil Fruits are not just some special little miracle like in your fairy tales. Devil Fruits can offer power, When you have power over the prospect of producing power, well -"
She held up the fruit to her face and continued, "That kind of power can control the world.” she squeezed the fruit into mash between her fingers letting the juices drip. “Or destroy it.”
You had never been scared of Monet, but in that moment as she spoke a chill ran down your spine.
—-
The sun had set. And the citizens of Dressrosa tucked themselves into their homes and the toys went back to the toy factory. All was quiet...
You wouldn't believe your luck. You finally met someone who wasn't from Dressrosa. Someone with a ship of their own. Someone who has lived and seen things that have been mentioned in the stories you’ve only read. Places you could only dream of…
You found the man who had taken over your thoughts leaning against the brick wall of the cantina alley where you first met him. 
“Was starting to think you weren't going to make it.” 
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“So where are you taking me first?”
“I was thinking we could go off the beaten path a bit.”
“Lead the way,” he smirked. 
You gladly obliged and began walking down the sidewalk, “So how long are you planning on staying here”
“Just as soon as I get what I need.”
You nod. “So tell me about all the islands you've been to” 
“Why don't you answer some of my questions first.”
“What do you want to know?” you were immediately guarded.
“For Starters what's with all the toys?” 
“What about them?”
 “What are they?” Law asked curiously, “What's their purpose?”
“They’ve just always been here” You shrug, “Why?”
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like them.”
“You mean they're not on other islands?” You replied surprised.
“None that I’ve been to.” 
“And where have you been?” you ask slyly.
Law smirked and began telling you about all the different islands he had been to.  Apparently, there was an island, not that far from Dressrosa, that lived a race of animal people called Minks. He explained to you how there was also an Island made of fishmen too. And in return, you began telling him all about Dressrosa. About all the towns and you also spoke to him about the Colosseum. Though you had never been inside it you explained that it was such an amazing landmark. And finally at the center of the whole island was the King's Plateau.
Law immediately took an interest in this subject. “Quite a unique place. Your King must be proud.”
“I guess.” 
“What do you think he’s like?” Law prodded.
“He’s-” Intense. Intimidating. Just… Doffy. “He’s King. Who knows.” 
Law seemed unimpressed with your response but decided not to push you. You were guarded, and that was fine. It was actually smart of you in a way. It didn't matter, as long as he stuck to the plan he would get everything he wanted. All in due time.

drum roll please...
hello @kingarmorking! I'm your Secret Santa!!!
Tumblr media
I will admit, your prompt had me confused at first glance but once I came to actually look at your account and work, OH was I eating!!! Sora as the Beast??? Riku as the Beauty??? it's been such a hassle not reblogging your art and leaving comments in order to keep anonymity... I'm obsessed with this AU and this is the product of that!
in case you don't remember, you asked for a scene written or something taken straight from Beauty and the Beast, and. I hope you don't mind if I was a little self-indulgent. I took some inspiration from the film but also... angsted it. ahh, I hope you enjoy it!!!
(everyone else, go read SEDI!!!)
secrets never kept, promises never made
Riku wonders which is Sora.
The two portraits hang proudly on the wall, even with time making them fade away and tearing at their corners. They both have dark green backdrops, the subjects facing each other, and Riku props his hand on his hip.
One is of a blond boy and the other is of a brunet. They have matching blue eyes, faces etched into permanent frowns of solemnity (although the brunet looks like there’s a slight whisper of a smile threatening to escape), and hair slicked down. They wear matching royal blue suits, and while only their upper bodies are shown, they seem so well put together.
Which is Sora? Riku can’t figure it out. He's passed this hallway a few times, without the Beast ever knowing, and he keeps trying to figure it out, and to no avail over and over. Was it the blond who seemed so serious, so sad? Or was it the brunet who seemed to try to hide a smile that even the painter picked up on?
Riku figures it’s the blond. Sora doesn’t seem like the smiling type.
But then again—if Riku was trapped in a body for that long, he wonders how much he would change. He isn’t the smiling type or the particularly over-joyous type, but Riku still had some joy in his heart, even if he couldn’t show it. Where would it all go?
Buried deep down somewhere like some sort of coffin.
His metaphor is cut too soon with a sudden gust of wind.
This hallway is abandoned, with cobwebs wrapping themselves around candles like babies to their mothers, with all the blue walls having turned into darkness. Curtains hug the windows and even if it was day, no light would be omitted. For all intents and purposes, this hallway was intended to be left to time.
And yet, the door slams open, and Riku’s cloak flutters behind him. Riku doesn’t feel the fear he expects himself to be overcome by when he turns to see the large keeper of the castle standing there, shadows covering his face and expression.
Instead, Riku only turns. What else is there to do?
You’re not supposed to be here.
“I apologize,” Riku says, in only half honesty. He does feel bad for breaking Sora’s rules, as it seems it’s all he has left—he doesn’t feel bad for wanting to learn more. For wanting to end this eternal darkness plaguing this realm.
It’s why he hesitates and bites back his tongue to ask, 'Which one is you?' Is it important? Does Sora even remember? (Would he even tell Riku?)
Get out. A please is added after a moment, and Sora’s large form takes a step closer as if trying to goad Riku out. The shadows seem like a good place for him like he was made for it, and Riku wonders if that bothers him.
Both of the twins didn’t seem particularly sad. Neither of them seemed like they lingered in the shadows—
And yet, here they are.
Riku glances down and sighs. He can't suppress his curiosity, craving the safety knowing would bring. “Sora,” he calls. “How—”
It was a long shot, Riku knew, but he didn’t expect Sora to let out a mighty roar that shook the whole room. Riku lets out a startled yelp and hardens his gaze as Sora simpers, standing taller in the light, covering as much of it as he could as though he owned the darkness, he was the darkness. I said GET OUT.
It rings in Riku’s ears and he presses a hand to either one. He presses harder because the ringing doesn’t stop, and it echoes into his brain. It makes him nauseous and he—he has to get away from Sora.
I’m sorry, Sora, some part of him calls, stumbling backward. I’m sorry this happened to you.
The ringing, the ringing, the ringing, it drives Riku crazy and he keeps limping until he reaches what he thinks is a balcony. The ringing is going quieter, but it’s still there—is Sora still in that room? Riku hears something behind him—maybe Sora tears down the painting. Riku doesn’t know, doesn’t care, he scales the side of the castle walls the way he and Katsu used to climb houses when they were smaller.
Riku keeps moving forward—why won’t the ringing stop?
Is this Sora, trying to push him away; or trying to pull him back?
It’s getting quieter, though.
Riku keeps moving forward. I’m sorry, he keeps repeating in his mind, as though to swat away all of Sora’s rage. Neither of those twins seemed like they could get too angry. Well—the blond, maybe. So that must be Sora. So angry all the time, but Riku knows he would be too, so he could still be the brunet, and on and on Riku’s thoughts go. I’m sorry, he’ll repeat, and he’s not sure if he’s sorry this happened to Sora and he can’t save him, or sorry that he’s wondering this at all. I’m sorry I made you feel like you’re not enough.
The ringing stops.
Riku drops his hands and suddenly recognizes the cold. Wrapping his arms around himself, Riku shivers and blows out condensing cold air, trying to take note of where he is. Trees—ah, the forest, of course.
There’s still some light. Riku turns around and huffs. This is the last place he’d like to be found in the darkness and the last place he’d like to be found while the world keeps falling to its creatures. In short, this is one of the few places Riku likes and he can’t understand Yuu’s obsession with it. The name sends a jolt of warmth through him, the warmth of joy: Please have made it to the capital alright.
The warmth of joy is washed out with a bucket of shame: he came here to save the realm. And he spent his time wondering what Sora looked like. He spent his time aggravating him instead of freeing the realm. 
And of course, Riku—the shivers rack through him violently, interrupting his thoughts—wonders what exactly is going through Sora’s mind. Telepathy isn’t enough. Riku wonders what Sora feels and what Sora actually wants to do, instead of what he says. Riku wonders so much, but that’s not important.
What’s important is the people he loves who he can’t count on one hand, who grow every single day. When he was small it was his brothers, and then it was Kairi, and then it was the town, and now it’s the realm. (And maybe, now it’s the castle. Maybe, now it’s Sora.) He can’t lose sight of that. The moment he does, that’s when he’ll be in trouble—
Riku lets out a yelp as something latches to his leg. He kicks at it, but his boots are dull and tired, and the something yanks him to the ground. Slamming to the ground without an ounce of gracefulness, Riku grabs a handful of snow and chucks it forward, alongside kicking with his free foot.
The something lets out a warbled hiss and backs off quickly, and—
Shadows.
Riku doesn’t have a weapon.
Riku scrambles to his feet and looks around. Slowly, white snow is overtaken by these creatures of the night and Riku only has a few seconds to think, and oh! Trees! They have sharp branches, don’t they?
Riku rushes out of the opening and grabs a fallen branch, the first one he grabs with no care for sharpness. He maybe should’ve cared. This one is duller than a dying light, but beggars can’t be choosers and Riku can’t be monster food.
The shadows are small enough, but Riku knows that small things can be overwhelming in larger groups. He needs to keep them down to keep an upper hand, and Riku sweeps his stick in a low arching movement, knocking three of the creatures to the ground.
They dissolve into the night and Riku dances with the night. He spins and strikes, and for a moment, there are only two more left, and he can head back to the castle and work—
A shadow claws at Riku’s leg and it tears through his slacks. Letting out a shout, Riku falls forward and quickly turns onto his back. No, no, no, he isn’t going to let these puny monsters be the death of him, not when he has so much to fight for (but how, there are so many, he can’t do this alone!)
Shadows restrain Riku’s wrists and he headbutts forward, trying to knock the closest one off balance, but all he ends up doing is flailing. What do they even want, his soul? Well, they can’t have it! Riku keeps fighting and he feels darkness suffocating him. They can’t have it, they can’t have it, they can’t have it, he needs to protect the ones who he loves, it’s getting darker and darker—
The shadow is tossed off Riku’s body and the weight is lifted from his limbs. Riku’s eyes search, dazed.
In the darkness, Riku finds something even darker; something more light than anything here. “Sora,” Riku groans. The shadows are regrouping, and Riku pushes himself up onto his elbows.
I’m sorry, Sora tells him. It seems like he’s panting; it seems like he’s human. I shouldn’t have gotten mad at you like that.
“I shouldn’t have pried,” Riku automatically says, holding his head. He's spinning. No, he's not, he's on the ground. Yet, he's spinning. Maybe he was a dancer in a past light.
No…you’re within your right, Sora begins, before turning. But shall we deal with these first?
“Probably smart,” Riku tells him, pushing himself to unsteady feet. He lurches forward and Sora is there to grab him and to hold out— “My sword!”
I had a feeling, Sora explains, holding his hands out at either side of him, that there would be trouble.
“You have some pretty good feelings,” Riku says.
I hope so. I only have so many.
Riku is about to laugh, thinking it’s a joke, until a shadow jumps at him and he needs to swing his sword down. The arch is true and it feels right, unlike the imitation called a stick. This feels right, this fight, and when the shadow is extinguished, it’s time for the next one.
The cold doesn’t bother Riku. The numbers don’t bother Riku. Nothing bothers Riku are he swings forward, accompanied only by the sound of metal, his grunting, and Sora’s loud footsteps. Sora, Riku thinks, sparing a glance or two or three or four at him.
Sora is a fighter. It’s like he was made for this, mixing between magic and physical combat. Both leave Riku reeling and for a second, Riku imagines someone else.
He imagines the boy with blond hair, back to back with him. “We’re almost there!” Riku tells Sora and Sora lets out a grunt to let him know he heard, and the two kick off each other again. The shadows keep going. But they’re bound to come. The blond is nothing but rage, nothing but—
Riku feels a wave of joy take over him, a joy that isn’t his.
Riku slices and imagines the boy with brown hair, switching spots with him. Sora’s better at large groups and Riku’s better at large shadows. The two nod to each other and they’re fighting again, and there’s almost a hop in Sora’s step, like he hasn’t fought in a while. No, he has fought.
Like he hasn’t fought with someone in a while.
Riku slams his sword down and imagines the boy with brown hair, sticking to his forehead, laughing.
The shadows are gone. Riku turns around—
And sees the Beast looking back at him.
Riku smiles at Sora.
I’m so sorry.
I wish I could save you.
I wish I could love you.
…can I?
Tumblr media
I hope you enjoyed that!!! like I said, EXTREMELY self-indulgent. I'm so sorry, your AU just gave me brain rot! I was inspired by the scene above where Belle gets attacked by wolves and the Beast comes to save her, except... well, this is Soriku, they would kick ass together!
happy holidays! thanks for a lovely prompt <3

Chapter 2 of my werewolf!Riku fic is up!
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts Characters: Sora, Riku, Strelitzia Rating: E Pairing: Sora/Riku Words: 5,294 Summary: Sora and Riku test the waters of a budding friendship.
“What are you?” Sora asked dumbly. “I-I mean, like, obviously you’re not human, but you can’t be---”
“A werewolf,” the man interjected with a raised brow. “I literally turned into a wolf and back into a human while in your living room. What more proof do you need?” 
Sora pressed his lips tightly together. Placing his arms on the counter, he rested his head on one of his biceps as he tried to avoid a growing headache. This was quickly becoming too much. 
“So why didn’t you just stay a dog-- or just leave when you got the chance? You could have avoided this whole--thing!-- altogether if you just did either of those.” 
“You were kind to me,” the man said softly, eyes turned downward to the table. “I wanted to say ‘thank you’ before leaving.”
“What do I do now, though?” Sora asked piteously as he lifted his head to glare at the silver-haired man. “My world got flipped upside down by you. What else is real out there?” 
“I can’t tell secrets that aren’t my own, but I will admit the world is much larger than you think it is.” 
“See! That’s awful and you shouldn’t have even told me that!” Sora kicked his feet in agitation before placing them back on the floor. Huffing out a breath, the brunet forcefully pushed back his chair so he could pace around.

Hello could I request Riku with reader who has feelings for him but instead of confessing their feelings, they try to deny it to avoid heartbreak so they end up not talking to him till he confronts them on how their acting?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
unsaid — riku nanase cw: no pronouns mentioned, angst to comfort, mutual pining a/n: thank you for requesting! i love writing for riku (i may be a little biased if you squint) i hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
The air in the room hung heavy with a tension that neither you nor Riku understood. It had crept in slowly, shifting the usual dynamic between you both. Laughter beginning to sound hollow, smiles seeming more forced. The conversation that happened prior, lively and effortless, now felt forced, lingering in silence. You'd been close friends for years, sharing secrets and laughter, but somewhere along the line, your feelings had blossomed into something more. You couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment, but it scared you. You didn’t want to ruin your friendship — your very connection to Riku. 
And there you were, usually bright and brimming with energy, now become withdrawn. Your eyes, once shining with warmth, now held a distant longing. Riku was quick to notice the change, and it pained him to see you like that. At first, he hesitated to ask what was wrong, afraid that he would say the wrong thing, but the more you sat there, the more it hurt him to see the change. He tried to reach out, gently asking you to understand what happened, but you offered him vague excuses and forced smiles. Your words were like whispers in the wind, and he left it at that. Weeks had passed, and you did the unthinkable. You started to push him away, slowly distancing yourself, hoping your feelings for him would fade away. He noticed how your smiles seemed strained and your laughter felt forced. He noticed how the playful banter you once shared was replaced by awkward silence. Riku noticed it all, and he couldn’t ignore it anymore. So, here you were, sitting across from him in his dorm, fiddling with your coffee mug, trying to avoid his gaze. He reached out, his hand now hovering over yours, a silent plea for connection.  “You’ve been acting different lately,” he said softly, his voice laced with concern. “What’s really going on?”
You looked up at him, completely taken back, and immediately looked away.
You wanted to tell him, to confess the turmoil within you, but the fear of rejection held you back. “It’s nothing,” you mumbled, your voice barely a whisper. Riku wasn’t convinced. He knew you better than that. He saw the hurt in your eyes and the longing you tried desperately to hide. “Please,” he said, his voice firm yet gentle, “don’t lie to me. Something is wrong, and I want to know why. I didn’t want to press into it last time, but I can’t ignore it any longer.” His words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken emotions. You wanted to get up and run as far as you could. You were scared. You were scared of losing him for good. You took a deep breath, bracing yourself for what you were about to do. “It’s because... I have feelings for you,” you blurted out, your words tumbling out. “And I’m scared. I don’t want to lose you.” The confession hung in the air, waiting for Riku’s response. You braced yourself for rejection, your heart pounding against your ribs. You were expecting the worst, but instead something unexpected happened. Riku smiled — a genuine, tender smile that lit up his entire face. “Y/N,” he started, his voice heavy with emotion, “I have feelings for you, too. I just… I was afraid to say anything; I was afraid of ruining our friendship.” The words washed over you, a wave of relief and joy erasing the fear and doubt that had been plaguing you. You couldn’t help but smile back — a genuine, heartfelt smile that reflected the happiness blooming within you. “There’s that smile I’ve missed seeing,” said Riku, reaching his hand to your cheek, smiling warmly at you. And in that moment, under the warm glow of his room’s light, your years of friendship blossomed into something new and beautiful. You leaned in, your lips meeting his in a kiss that spoke volumes of unspoken words and hidden feelings.  It was a kiss that promised a future together, a future built on a foundation of friendship, love, and understanding.
Your fear was gone, replaced by a warmth that spread through your body like a wildfire. You were happy to start a new chapter together with the boy who has always been there for you, the boy who now holds your heart.

Kujou Tenn - Drama Collection
Tumblr media
Ousaka Sougo Kujou-san, I apologize if I'm disturbing you. Once again, I'm sending you my gratitude for working together with me in this drama.
It might be for a short term, but it was truly an honor for me and Iori-kun, to be with you and Yuki-san in this drama.
Kujou Tenn Thank you for your hard work and taking the time to tell me. I was happy to perform with you too.
But you don't have to be too stiff. We're collaborators who shared a dark secret, right?
Ousaka Sougo We shared a dark secret…?!
Kujou Tenn Yes. It's a secret between you and me.
Ousaka Sougo Would it better if we arrange a non-disclosure agreement?!
Also, about being a collaborator, the other day I ended up being drunk while having a wrap-up party with the staff even though I planned not to. I even involved you in my troubles so I will apologize for it…!
Kujou Tenn Sorry, that was interesting but that's not what I meant. I'm talking about the drama
I wanted to talk to you frankly but I got carried away
Ousaka Sougo The drama!! I'm so sorry…! I wonder why I didn't notice it
I'm apologize for causing trouble…!
Kujou Tenn Don't apologize. I'm happy you sent me a message in RabbiChat
Ousaka Sougo That's…
Kujou Tenn I've received many gifts of your feelings and words. This time I want you to receive mine.
Ousaka Sougo Thank you very much for your precious words. I'd be happy to talk about it!
Kujou Tenn Thank you, too. If you apologize again I will punish you by telling me one of your secrets.
Tumblr media
Ousaka Sougo I
I understand. I humbly accept your offer
Kujou Tenn That's decided. It was fun acting the drama because of the roles we don't normally act
Ousaka Sougo Yes, truly! Working with you, the senior I admire, the secret of a mystical flower and ended up getting involved in an incident…
Kujou Tenn The anecdotes said that the mystical flower that whoever is in possession of it will be happy, but the reality is that it's a poisonous flower that leaves no evidence when it's used to murder people.
Thinking about it now, it's an amazing screenplay
Ousaka Sougo I concur. My role is someone whose hobby is researching about the flower, even though I'm happy to discover the secret of the flower, the senior I admire made me stop talking about it. It was a challenging role because of expressing the emotions.
The line where you said "We must keep the secret here, just like the flower that sprouts silently"…
Kujou Tenn What line?
Ousaka Sougo I apologize, I can only express with one word due to my vocabulary… Even though your voice was soft, you don't express your intimidation. I felt the goosebumps from your acting when I felt that if I refuse, I can feel the danger for myself.
Kujou Tenn Ah
Ousaka Sougo Eh?
Ah
Kujou Tenn It's time to share your secret
Ousaka Sougo I'm ashamed of saying these words, but isn't it safe considering our discussion…?!
Kujou Tenn No. You said "I apologize"
Ousaka Sougo I-I understand… I'll tell you my secret.
The truth is, when the day gets too cold, I wear 2 layers of socks.
I've said it…
Kujou Tenn Soc
Socks
You've been keeping it a secret from everyone?
Ousaka Sougo Yes..
Kujou Tenn I'm not sure how to tell it in a word, but that's cute.
Ousaka Sougo Not at all! It was really kind of you to say.
Kujou Tenn Is it really warm?
Ousaka Sougo Yes. It greatly relieves me because I'm sensitive to cold.
Kujou Tenn I see. I should try that once winter comes.
Ousaka Sougo You'll try it?!
Kujou Tenn The cold is very formidable. When you recommended it, I think I should try it
Ousaka Sougo Me and Kujou-san, wearing 2 layers of socks…?!
Kujou Tenn Wait, don't make me laugh even more. The naming is a bit difficult, do you want to decide on a jargon?
Ousaka Sougo I agree. What do you think of "KT2"?
Kujou Tenn I like that. I should recommend that to Riku, too. Without telling that you thought it up.
Ousaka Sougo No, please do not worry about me! The cold is bad for Riku-kun's body too.
Speaking of Riku-kun, he was really looking forward to the drama. He really wanted to hear about your role and the film, that he comes to me and Iori-kun everyday
When the trailer was released yesterday, he said "Tenn-nii's so cool…" and he looked like in a trance while watching
Wait, that was a mistake. He was head over heels.
Kujou Tenn Why did you correct yourself?
Ousaka Sougo I remembered Iori-kun saying "Please don't say it with such doting voice", so I think it's the correct way to describe it…!
Kujou Tenn
Tumblr media
Isn't Izumi Iori also doting towards Izumi Mitsuki too?
Ousaka Sougo I'm sure it's their fantastic brotherly love!
Kujou Tenn Thank you. I will send Izumi Iori a RabbiChat too.

Who are your top 3 favorite KH characters? ✨
I'm going to try not to ramble on this forever but thank you so much for sending this ask in! I apologize in advance for the can of worms you have opened.
Tumblr media
Vidar (Spoilers for Dark Road incoming) Probably the least surprising thing, but currently Vidar is my top favorite. I'm fairly new to the mobile games, and full disclosure, I did not like him when I first saw him. Eraqus was so upset by Vor leaving (even though it was her own choice) that I genuinely felt for him, and therefor didn't approve of Vidar "taking" her away. But continuing the story and learning that he and his friends were so close to achieving what they had been training for for years, only for it to end in the death of not one of his friends, but four of them. And he can't bring himself to strike down what caused their deaths, because Baldr is just a kid and he (presuming that one line was about Hoder) can't bear to face her if something happened to him after she died trying to protect him His character is interesting, he's got a killer design, you can tell how much he cared about his friends, and the tragedy of risking everything to save someone for your friend, only to die by that person's hand trying to protect the friends you have left. I could talk about him for 22 hours a day.
Tumblr media
Saix/Isa I know I don't post about him a lot, but Saix (or Isa) has been one of my favorite characters since my friend introduced me to Kingdom Hearts when I was a kid. If it wasn't for Vidar, he'd still be in the top spot! There's just something about how ruthless he was in kh2 and Days. How brutally honest and blunt his deliveries were, and how his boss fight involves catching you off guard with mechanics that don't seem to suit what you've seen of him until you really look at it and realize it does. His relationship with Axel is hilarious on surface level and depressing when you go deeper. His relationship of being Xemnas' right-hand man (next to Xigbar) while also plotting to betray him is so intriguing. And then seeing those sharp eyes and the barbed words and the ruthlessness in him and seeing those compared to the kid who made fun of his best friend and wanted to explore places he wasn't supposed to be in and help someone he had just met is heartbreaking. I loved his redemption in kh3, subtle in the background as it was, and I'm hoping to see more of him trying to be a better person and make it up to Roxas and Xion in 4.
Tumblr media
Zexion/Ienzo This one caught me so off guard. I had gotten back into the fandom after a long while and was replaying through the old games to get caught up and Zexion blindsided me in Re:CoM. He was secretive and quiet, but really held no animosity towards Sora or Riku. Which, compared to the rest of the Organization in the castle, stood out a lot. Considering this, he really didn't deserve the death he got, which is still pretty brutal for a Kingdom Hearts death. Then he comes back and immediately throws everything he has into helping the heroes. They were more of a means to an end before, rather than true enemies, and despite their reservations about him he has no problems spending all of his time and resources into helping them stop Xehanort. He was just a kid when he helped start the fall of Radiant Garden but he still feels so guilty and wants to atone so badly. Plus you get extra angst in the "didn't have a heart for 10 odd years and now suddenly has one and is feeling" department.
Runner ups include: Baldr, Vali, Xaldin/Dilan, Vexen/Even, and Terra!

[ 𝚛𝚒𝚔𝚞 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚛𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚊'𝚜 𝚝𝟸 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 ]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is it.. the last interrogation of this season.. we're finally here. and with this, the "main" part of this trial is over. we just have to wait for the post-t2 vds.
Tumblr media
Q.001. Are there any prisoners you can't deal with?
Riku: I'd rather not talk to Akio ever again <3
Reina: Yurika is really getting on my nerves. 
Q.002. Do you think you were in the right?
Riku: Yep.
Reina: Why would someone like me be in the right?
Q.003. Would you forgive the guilty prisoners?
Riku: Nah, don't think so. I mean, you had a good reason to vote them guilty, right? And also, they're kinda creepy.
Reina: Don't know about Yurika, but when it comes to Akio and Kei.. I think I would.
Q.004. Do you have a good relationship with your family?
Riku: I know they love me, but like.. I'm not sure if I love them, haha.
Reina: No.
Q.005. How would you show your love to your partner?
Riku: Write them lots of songs that only they get to hear because they're so special to me.
Reina: Tell them my deepest secrets because they're the only person I can trust.
Q.006. What do you think of Kei?
Riku: I liked him a lot, but now we don't really talk because.. you know why.
Reina: We both understand each other well and we're more similar than I thought.
Q.007. What do you think of school?
Riku: It's the only place where I can get all the attention that I want. I just wish my looks weren't such a big deal, haha.
Reina: It's boring.
Q.008. What was your relationship with your victim like?
Riku: I hated him. He loved me. What else can I say?
Reina: He just wanted the best for me and I didn't listen.
Q.009. How would your life go if you've never committed your crime?
Riku: I don't think my life would be that long.
Reina: It probably would be a little bit better.
Q.010. Is there anything you wish your parents would have done?
Riku: Maybe they could give a bit more attention to me. I know I'm the middle child, so I'm already asking too much, but still..
Reina: They could be less strict, I guess.
Q.011. Do you listen to music often?
Riku: I do play in a band, but I actually don't listen to music that much anymore. I prefer writing and playing it.
Reina: I used to listen to music a lot on the way to school. It helped me forget about everything at least for a moment.
Q.012. What do your friends think about your crime?
Riku: They support me and think I did nothing wrong.
Reina: They're way too worried about me. They should stop feeling this way, I don't deserve it.
Q.013. If you had to make one of the prisoners part of your family, who would you choose?
Riku: I think Kei-san would be a really cool and fun big brother.
Reina: All of them are kinda weird, haha. Maybe Akio? Having a younger brother like him who I can tease all the time sounds nice.
Q.014. What will you do if you get voted innocent this time as well?
Riku: I'll just have to give you the best show you've ever seen once again.
Reina: I guess I'll have to do something that will force you to vote me guilty.
Q.015. Do you have any regrets?
Riku: Maybe if I said no just once, everything could've been different.
Reina: Being born.

Thanks for the 7th Anniversary - Part 7 - A song to reach Heaven
Tumblr media
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7  
[Disclaimer: I’m NOT a professional translator. I’m using my knowledge from 4 years of university. Please, feel free to let me know if you notice  mistranslation/typo/error of any kind]

Nagi: <It’s really You, Dear Brother! You came to Japan! I welcome you from my heart!>
Seth: <Nagi….>
Nagi: <I would have picked You up at the airport! Did You want to surprise me? And why were you running?>
Banri: Could you please hand me that carrying case?!
Seth: <What did he say?!>
Thorvard: <He wants the carrying case…>
Seth: <Does he know what’s inside, then?! I can’t do that!>
Nagi: <Dear Brother….?>
Mitsuki: What’s going on, Seth san? You came to Japan, and still you have a grim expression on your face…
Yamato: What about the carrying case Banri san is talking about?
Kaoru: It looks like the document regarding the Nanases’ secret is inside!
Mitsuki: Nanase….Riku?!
Yamato: You mean, the fact that Riku and Tenn are twins?! And how does Seth san happen to have that document…?
Banri: It seems that he bumped into someone and they switched carrying cases by mistake
Thorvard: That’s foolish…
Kaoru: Please! Give us back that document! The fate of our precious idols depends on it!
Yamato: In that case, please! I also beg you!
Mitsuki: Me too! Nagi, please, tell that to Seth san!
Nagi: <....Inside the carrying case Thorvard is carrying there’s an important document concerning a friend of mine.>
Seth: <What are you saying? That’s not true. Inside the carrying case there is…>
Nagi: <What?>
Seth: <….>
Thorvard: Where’s the other carrying case?
Banri: It’s been brought to a temple to be burned…
Thorvard: What….?!
Banri: Utsugi san is going up there to save it!
Nagi: <…. What was the thing you had with you?>
Seth: <….a letter Sakura Haruki wrote you>
Nagi: <….>
Seth: <No… that’s a lie. It wasn't left with me,  but with the hotel staff>
Seth: <I brought it here to deliver the letter to you…>
Nagi: Banri! You said the letter will be burned at a temple?!
Banri: Utsugi san is up there to get it back now! Was there something of note inside?
Nagi:....a letter from Haruki
Banri: What….
Yamato: And something like that is likely to be burned…?
Mitsuki: Please, please, please…make it on time!
Nagi:.........
Phone ringing
Kaoru: Ah, someone is calling…! Hello?!....
Kaoru: What are you doing, panting?! Stop joking, you pervert!!....what?
Kaoru: Utsugi san?
Shiro: anf….anf….I’m sorry…
Shiro: It was too late…
Shiro: They had already burned it in the bonfires… it’s really a shame… Did you find the document?
Kaoru:..........
Shiro: Anesagi san…?
*Kaoru ends the call*
Kaori: Nagi kun….they've already burned it…
Nagi:....oh…..
Nagi: Haruki’s letter was reduced to ashes…?
Seth:  <....Nagi….>
Tsumugi: Wait…!
Yamato: Manager!
Kaoru: Takanashi san…!
Tsumugi: I found the document..! It’s inside this carrying case!
Mitsuki: What do you mean?! So, there’s one more document that was burned…?
Tsumugi: The foreigner Tsukumo san bumped into wasn’t actually Seth san! 
Tsumugi: The person whose carrying case was accidentally picked up by Tsukumo san was…
Tsumugi:....him!
Douglas: HAHAHA!
Mitsuki: Douglas…!
Yamato: Douglas Rootbank!
Douglas: HEY! IDOLISH7! HAHAHA!
Tsumugi: Inside Douglas san’s carrying case was his invitation ticket
Tsumugi: Because of the fact he didn’t have the ticket, he couldn’t enter the festival. However, he met a homie…
Tsumugi: Kujo Takamasa san helped him 
Mitsuki: I see! Douglas did tell us he had met Zero!
Yamato: So he was close to Kujo as well
Douglas: AHAHAHA! YES! Takamasa, my homie…!
Thorvard: I knew it. I don’t remember ever dropping the carrying case at all
Nagi: That means that Haruki’s letter…
Thorvard: Is in here
Thorvard:  <Your Highness Seth, please, be the one delivering it>
Seth:  <….yes >
Seth:   <Nagi, I'm deeply sorry you had to wait…>
Student: Sorry…?
Seth:  < Mh? Me?>
Student: Can you give me the stamp? I heard that we’re supposed to ask people doing cosplay
Seth: WHAT?
Yamato: Ah! I understand why you think he’s doing some kind of cosplay, but that’s not the case. Come here…
Student: Y-yes…
Mitsuki: Okay, you can start over with your speech!
Seth: <Nagi, I'm deeply sorry you had to wait…>
Seth: <This is Sakura Haruki’s letter>
Nagi: <Thank you…Haruki’s writing…and there’s my name written on it…>
Nagi: <I would have never expected I would have the chance to read a message from Haruki again…>
Nagi: <The world is full of miracles. Thank you for delivering this important letter, Dear Brother>
Seth: <I’m glad I won over my cowardice and gave you the letter, Nagi…>
Douglas: AHAHAH! All’s well that ends well!
Banri: Even Douglas came! Nice catch, Tsumugi san!
Riku: Riku was the one who found him! Also, there’s another person…
Music journalist: Ah, hello
Kaoru: A journalist…!?
Rinto: Takanashi san, i-isn’t that dangerous?!
Mr. Shimoka: Ahah, it’s fine! I know him well enough to say he’s a reasonable man!
Music journalist: Ahah, thank you for your kind words…
Music journalist: I’ve been contacted by ŹOOĻ in the past. They wanted me to expose what Tsukumo did
Music journalist: When I got the facts, I was told by Trigger not to publish that article
Music journalist: They didn’t want me to make fans sad
Music journalist: I’m the same. I don’t want my job to hurt people who sincerely devote their lives to music
Tsumugi: That’s what he said to me as well
Kaoru: I’m sorry. I'm biased toward people like you. But you’re not all the same, after all
Music journalist: Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to write good articles, so you can trust me more
Mr. Shimoka: At any rate, all’s well that ends well! Good, good!
Yamato: Now we need to go back to Kujo’s memory…do you think Seth san would agree to help us?
Nagi: I’ll try asking! Look, look!! It’s Haruki’s letter!
Yamato: That’s a very good thing, Nagi
Mitsuki: It must be a nice letter! It will make you happy, Nagi!
Nagi: I think so too
Tsumugi:....guys, the live show will start soon!
Mitsuki: Ah, right! We need to hurry!
Banri: Leave it to us! Let’s go!
Yamato: Yes, I’m coming!
Mitsuki: How’s “Star is Born” going?!
Tamaki: Amazing! There were three people who got more than 29 points!
Iori: Now they will choose a winner between the three of them
Yamato: It’s Idolish7 turn!
Sogo: Yes! Starbi is currently hyping up the audience!
Starbi: Are you ready for Idolish7?!
Students: Yeeees!!
Ryunosuke: Yeees! It’s nice to attend a concert from the audience seats!
Gaku: You’re right!
Student: Trigger san, please, take this
Gaku: Oh, shaved ice!
Tenn: It’s strawberry flavored, I’m happy. Thank you
Student: Thank you for coming!
Student: I never thought I'd ever have the chance to see you this close!
Tenn: Let’s meet at a live concert, next time. We’ll be waiting for you
Student: Yes…
Ryunosuke: He ran away. They’re all so young and innocent, I find them very cute!
Gaku: It’s the seventh year since the founder’s festival became an anniversary festival…
Gaku: It’s been a while since people started coming here, embracing their dreams and doing their best to make them come true 
Tenn: Yes… however, I’m sure that looking back they have the impression that time just flew by
Tenn: The bustle we see today is the footprints of so many people…
Tenn: After all, there must be a link that keeps everybody’s dreams connected
Tenn: I want to live without forgetting them. In the brightest days, in the darkest nights…
Tenn: I always want to remember the people who are here today, laughing and crying 
Tenn: I want to remember that every moment, every single moment, shone with a wonderful light 
Tenn: Many stars have yet to be born in this place. I’m sure
*Cut to a street*

Touma: Yes…
Shizuo: You did a good job! I can see you did your best
Touma: Eheh…thank you
Minami: Well, I’m ready to shoot
Rinto: Sorry for bothering you
Minami: I don’t mind, I like taking pictures

Momo: Oh, are the pictures so similar to the original ones? Well, I don’t think you can easily find a lovely, handsome couple like us!
Yuki: I agree, Momo
Momo: I know, Yuki
Touma: They’re really getting on with the flirt. Their fight became momentum and they’re now into roaring effusions
Rinto: You’re both very charming!
Neeeeeeigh
Rinto: Ah, it’s back. Haw, haw…
Aya: Kujo san, please, look at these pictures in order
Aya: If you do, your memory will be back… but more than anything, please…please, if you can, remember who I am! Remember me!
Shizuo: He really has a heroic daughter…
Thovard: She’s crying…
Takamasa:......
Takamasa: Aah…what’s…
Aya: Kujo san!
Takamasa: Aya….! Homie Douglas…! Re:Vale, ZOOL…and some people I don’t know
Thorvard: My name is Thorvard. And he is His Highness Prince Seth
Seth: Konnichiwa
*Shouting*
Torao: Ah…has the live show started?
Touma: It’s Starbi and Idolish7!
Momo: Let’s go watch the concert!
Yuki: Yes. You come as well, Shizuo san
Shizuo: I’ll try to reconcile with Yamato… when the concert ends
Haruka: Let’s go, hurry!

(Tw: death)
{Riku (Ultraman Geed) shows up at R/n's place in a panic and starts nervously confronting her about her supposed involvement with espionage, after a strange man calling himself Mr. Dewitt tells him about R/n's secret history with his organization. and offers the boy a very hefty sum for her capture. Things get a little more frazzled for the teen as his name is called on the TV paging Mr. Dewitt to come meet him.]
R/n, trying to calm Riku down: I want you to take a deep breath and tell me… Who's the best damn April Fooler in the whole world?!
Riku, looks at her wide eyed: A-April Fool?
R/n: That's right. April Fools.
Riku:...w-What about that guy that came to my friend's store?!
R/n: Mr. Dewitt? *Riku nods*
R/n: He's an old friend of the family from (country/home town/city) I sent him into your store with that story, Kid, and you bought it hook, line and sinker.
Riku: Oh, yeah? Well, you better not use your phone for the next five minutes, 'cause someone's gonna be working on your lines.
R/n: Oh, well, that's a nice try, Riku. Come on, let's go to the neighbourhood's April fool's party.
Riku, still hesitant: But… you mean none of that spy stuff was true?
R/n: Oh, come on, kid. If I was really involved in espionage, couldn't I have just made one phone call and had Dewitt taken out?
Riku:...I guess.
R/n: Well, then, what do you think?
Riku, calms down a bit: Ah… You really had me going there mo-... R/n. (nervous giggle) I'm gonna wait outside.
{Riku leaves the living room, And R/n turns her attention towards the baseball game on TV that Belial was watching.]
Announcer: And that's a ground out to third.
Mr. Dewitt, falling off screen: Arhg!!!
Announcer: Oh, my God! Ladies and gentlemen, Walter Dewitt just fell to the ground from an upper deck luxury box! He...he's not moving!
[Belial felt R/n's normally calm aura shift to something darker... he looks away from the screen and up at R/n he could see a wry smile on her face as the announcer continued to give details of Mr. Dewitt's unfortunate... accident.]
Belial:...Well, ain't that a crying shame.
R/n: Sure is, I'm gonna go now.
Belial: Bring me back a candy-apple.

Raft
AO3 | FFN
Summary: Riku and Kairi continued their bickering as they emerged back onto the beach. As they walked to the docks, Sora stopped. He looked at the boats, an idea starting to form. “Hey guys,” he said. “What about a raft?”
[Or, how Sora, Riku, and Kairi decided to build a raft to leave the islands.]
A/N: Written for @destinytriofanzine. Leftovers are now available so go grab a copy while you still can!
The day on the islands had been hectic as Sora and Riku began to head back in. Even as things started to wind down, the smile hadn’t left Sora’s face from the games they’d been playing on the beach to mark the end of the school year and beginning of summer. But as the others had returned home, even Sora’s boundless energy had started to fade, and it was time for them to return home for the night.
As they got to the docks, he and Riku paused, noticing a third boat still sitting next to theirs. Sora frowned. “Kairi’s still out here?”
“Seems so,” Riku said, a frown on his face. He turned to face Sora. “I thought something seemed off when she said she was sick.”
“You don’t think something happened to her, do you?” Sora asked.
Rather than answer his question immediately, Riku turned around. “I don’t know…But we should probably look around and see if we can find her, just to make sure.”
Sora nodded. “Right.” He followed Riku’s gaze to the Secret Place, understanding without words.
If there was anywhere that Kairi would choose to hide, it would be there. In their hideaway from the others, where they played games just the three of them.
Sora led the way, Riku not even a step behind him as they made their way across the beach to find their missing best friend. Whatever was actually wrong with Kairi, Sora would make sure to find out. He had to do whatever he could to make sure she was okay.
The moment they entered the cave, it was obvious they had come to the right place. There was a clattering sound, as though somebody was hitting the walls of the cave with another stone. Once they entered through the corridor, they saw Kairi doing just that. She was etching a new picture on the wall of a bird.
When she heard their footsteps, she stopped. “Sora? Riku?”
Sora smiled and waved. “Hey Kairi.”
She gently put the stone down, turning away from her drawing to face them. “I’d have thought you guys would’ve gone back by now.”
“When we saw your boat at the dock, we got worried,” Sora explained. “So we went looking.”
“Besides, we couldn’t leave here without you.” Riku extended a hand to her. “You should know us better than that by now, Kairi.”
Kairi gave a small smile, though she hid it behind her hands. “Sorry for worrying you. I just needed some time alone.” She brushed past both of them, heading for the cave’s entrance. “Come on, let’s go back!”
“Hang on.” Sora grabbed Kairi’s wrist before she could continue onward. Despite her insisting she was okay, this wasn’t normal. Not for her. “You didn’t tell us what was wrong.”
Kairi stood still, not saying anything. She remained quiet long enough that Sora wasn’t sure that she would tell them what was wrong, but before he could ask again, she spoke. “It was the comment Selphie made.”
“The what…?” Sora frowned, trying to think of something she had said that could’ve upset Kairi.
“The one about your memories?” Riku asked. Kairi nodded. “You seemed a little off after that.”
“It wasn’t meant to be such a big deal, just…” She trailed off, as though trying to decide how much she wanted to let Sora and Riku know. “Sometimes, I wonder about what my life was like before I came to the islands. About my old homeworld, and about the friends and family I had before I came here.” She looked towards them. “I know there isn’t anything that can be done about it, and normally I try not to let it bother me. What she said just brought all of it back up.”
“Oh.” Admittedly, there wasn’t a lot that Sora could do to help reassure her. There was no way for Sora to help her access those memories and remind her of what they contained, and so it was a problem with no real solution to be had. “Well, I know we can’t really make up for the memories you’re missing, but there’s all the memories you’ve made with us. And the home you have now.” He grinned, letting go of Kairi’s arm to put his hands behind his head.
Kairi nodded. “I know, and I wouldn’t trade getting to know you guys for any amount of time on my homeworld, but still…”
“You wonder about the life you used to have out there, and about the world you left behind.”  Riku filled in the silence Kairi left behind.
“I had to have a family before I was here. They must be so worried about whether or not I’m okay.” Kairi rocked on her feet, smiling despite the small amount of hurt in her voice. “But I’ll be fine. It’s not like I remember them anyways.”
“Then that means they’re out there looking for you, right?” Sora asked. “They’ll have to come across our islands so long as they keep looking.”
Riku shook his head. “We don’t need to wait for them. Maybe instead of that, we could go to the other worlds. We could find your homeworld, Kairi!”
The idea had merit. The three of them were decent at fighting if they ran into anything dangerous, they were smart, and they were experienced in traveling at least the short distance between the main and play islands. They could handle themselves long enough to make it off the islands and find another world. And then they could keep exploring the worlds as long as it took.
“I’d like to try.” Sora nodded, turning to Kairi. “What about you, Kairi?”
“What if it’s dangerous? I don’t want you getting hurt for me.” Kairi bit her lip and frowned, almost as though she held a memory of a threat she wished she could forget. A threat that could put them all in danger. 
“We won’t.” Riku insisted, trying to put her mind at ease. “You don’t have to worry about a thing, Sora and I will stay safe, and we can help protect you too.”
“You sure?” Kairi asked. Riku nodded, and just like that, the worried expression vanished before Sora could ask why. “Then in that case, let’s do it!”
“Hold on, aren’t you forgetting something?” Riku asked. Kairi tilted her head. “We still need to figure out how we’re going to get there.”
That was a part of the plan Sora hadn’t thought out yet. He looked around the walls of the cave, searching for any sort of inspiration before his eyes locked on the picture of the bird. “We could fly there!”
“Fly?” Kairi smiled, much more genuine than before.
“Yeah! On a ship. Like a rocket.” Sora could see it now. Obviously, they would need to fly to get off the different worlds. It wouldn’t be that hard to navigate the stars above if they could fly.
“I don’t think we’re going to be able to get a rocket.” Riku shook his head and crossed his arms, clearly doubting Sora’s plan for them to get off the islands.  “We can’t make one either, we don’t have the materials.”
Sora pouted. “So what’s your idea then?”
“I think we could make a portal. It couldn’t be that hard.” When Riku mentioned the portal, Sora saw a brief glimpse of a woman flying away in armor from the islands in a light portal in the sky. A memory from a long time ago.
“Do you know how to make portals?” Kairi asked. 
Riku hesitated. “Well…no, but it can’t be that hard to learn, right?”
“Well…considering we don’t have any magic books…” she pointed out. Riku frowned, as though bothered by the lack of knowledge, or possibly trying to remember something from long ago.
“Okay then, fine. What’s your great idea?”
“Well, I think there’s some merit to your portal idea. Just… rather than summoning it, we could find an item to open one, or maybe teleport us around them.” Kairi started to walk out of the cave, causing Sora and Riku to follow her back out onto the beach. “But I’m not really sure we could find something like that here…”
Kairi was right. If such an item did exist in their world, it would be well hidden and hard to find, and somebody would have likely found it by that point, making the idea unlikely to work. 
“It still seems like my method is the most likely then. I’m sure it can’t be that hard to learn how to summon one.” Riku smirked. Kairi shook her head. “What?”
“You’re just saying that because it’s your idea, aren’t you?”
“What, no, I’m not!”
Riku and Kairi continued their bickering as they emerged back onto the beach. As they walked to the docks, Sora stopped. He looked at the boats, an idea starting to form. “Hey guys,” he said. “What about a raft?”
Kairi and Riku stopped, turning to face him. “A raft.” Sora nodded. “Of course.” He ran up to the dock’s edge, looking over the ocean into the horizon. “The ocean can’t go on forever, no matter how big it looks. If we just keep sailing, we’ll hit the end of our world, and then…”
Riku and Kairi caught on, both of them running up beside him to overlook the ocean. 
“Then we’ll be in another world.” Riku’s voice was hardly more than a whisper, almost as though he couldn’t believe the idea Sora had said might actually work. 
“And then once we’re there, I bet we can find a better mode of transportation to keep going.” Kairi grinned. “It wouldn’t take much to make it either. Just some logs, rope, and tarps.”
“All of those are things we have here!” Sora turned away from the horizon towards Riku first, and then Kairi, all too excited about the plan he was starting to form. “It wouldn’t take long to build it either, if we’re all working together.”
“How far do you think it is?” Kairi asked. “What if it’s a long journey ahead?”
“Then we gather food and water from the island before we go.” Riku jumped into the planning, now just as enthusiastic. “If Sora and I hunt for supplies together from here, and we grab some things from home, we should be able to gather more than enough food to last the journey.”
“What will I be doing while you’re doing that?” Kairi asked, pouting.
“The most important job, of course. You’ll put together the raft for us,” Riku answered. “You are the one best at making things.”
Kairi laughed. “Are you sure I’ll be able to do it alone?”
“You won’t know until you try,” Riku said. Sora nodded in agreement.
“Alright, I’ll try.” Though judging by the sounds of suppressed laughter, it seemed as though Kairi still doubted she’d be able to do it without their help.It wasn’t a problem to Sora though. All three of them would gather the materials, then they would build the raft and gather the supplies, and then after that, they could sail to the edge of the world right until they found a new one.
It was such a simple plan, and yet Sora knew it would work. The three of them would be able to use it to make it off the island. “We should start working tomorrow!”
Riku and Kairi nodded, and there was an excitement buzzing between the three of them as they continued discussing everything they would need.
The raft would take them where they needed to go, and then they would find Kairi’s home world.
Their adventure was about to begin.

“Just give it to him,” Vanitas says, arms folded behind his head while he feigns taking a nap on Kairi’s bed (better pillows, he claims).
Kairi glares at him over her shoulder. She covers the object in one hand with the other. “I thought you had exercises out on the yard today,” she says. Her cheeks heat up, she almost feel caught out by him.
Vanitas shrugs. “I’m a free spirit, princess,” he says. “I go wherever destiny tells me to go.”
That’s the exact opposite of free spirit, she wants to tell him, but Kairi’s not in the mood for a battle of wits with Vanitas at that very moment.
“What’s the big deal anyway,” Vanitas says, giving up on the nap, rolling to his side to put his head up on one curled fist. “You gave Sora one, give prince charming the other one you made.”
Kairi opens her hand and looks down at the charm in it. It’s not made of thalassa shells like the charm she gave Sora but of gleaming turquoise glass. During her training with Aqua, her master taught her how to make one.
It’s a halfway point between the angular charms that hang from Eraqus’ makeshift gravestone outside and the ones the sailors on Destiny Islands make. Smooth lines but still a little hodgepodge.
At the center, she drew a little determined face and some long, spiky bangs. Under the little face she drew the Dream eater sigil. It reminds her of Riku when she looks at it. It makes her smile.
“I never made one for him,” Kairi says, her smile falling and her stomach churning. “He made me so nervous back then. He was so… I don’t even know what to call it. Anger? Frustrated? So different from how he was when we were little.”
Vanitas doesn’t say anything, just looks at her.
“He was really sweet when we were little,” Kairi says. “I remember one time, it was raining really hard on the play island, this storm that came out of nowhere. It was just the two of us, I think Sora was sick that day. I slipped in the mud and fell pretty hard.”
She remembers the day, remembers not wanting to cry and embarrass herself. But her foot hurt so much and she’d ruined her favorite dress.
“Riku pretended he didn’t notice I was crying,” she says and turns the charm over in her hands. “Once the rain almost stopped he let me climb on his back. He was only little too, so I must’ve been pretty heavy but he didn’t complain once.”
It surprises her when tears spring to her eyes. She brushes them away quickly but the more she speaks the more they come. “He carried me all the way home, and he kept saying it was okay to cry and he kept making jokes to make me laugh.”
Vanitas kept listening intently, little emotion on his face.
“Riku didn’t leave until he was sure I felt okay,” she says. “I thought he was the bravest, coolest guy in the world. And I couldn’t stop crying.” Kairi’s voice thickens with emotion.
“Why?” Vanitas asks.
Kairi’s laughs through her tears. “Because a few days before Sora and I drew our faces on the walls in the secret place. I didn’t even think about waiting until it was the three of us. All I could think was that I wanted to do it.”
“You were just a little kid,” Vanitas says with a nudge to her back. It’s his own rough way of comforting her.
“It wasn’t just then,” Kairi says. “I told Sora I wanted to go off with the raft, just the two of us. I let Riku sit all by himself before that big battle instead of telling him to sit with us. I didn’t tell him I was going to go to sleep to find Sora. I don’t deserve to give this to him.”
Vanitas sits up and they’re nearly sitting next to each other. “None of those things makes you a bad person,” he says. “I think he’d still tell you it’s okay to cry. And I think he’s git enough of his own shit that he thinks he doesn’t deserve to get one of these.”
It helps a little, how easily Vanitas lays down the truth. It softens the edges of her doubts. Kairi scrubs her eyes and nose and laughs.
“So much for your nap,” she says and looks at him.
He reaches up and brushes one errant tear away with his knuckle. “Still better than training exercises,” he says with a grin. “Chin up, princess, anyone would be lucky to have you for a friend.”
Kairi uses her sleeve to wipe at her face and she smiles at him. “You’re not too bad at this, you know,” she says.
“Got a pretty good teacher,” Vanitas says.
Kairi rolls her eyes.
—-
Riku looks a little confused at her walking down the Gummiship hangar towards him but he smiles at her nevertheless.
“Morning,” he says. He looks a little sleepy.
Kairi stops in front of him. “Good morning,” she says. Golden light from the sun coming up spills into the hangar. “I uh, wanted to give you something before you left.”
She rummages in her pocket and pulls it out.
“Oh yeah?” Riku says before bending over to fix something in his bag. As he stands up Kairi holds it out to him.
The glass glimmers in the light of dawn.
Riku looks down at it with a quiet sort of awe and surprise. “This is… “
“A good luck charm!” She says just as Riku says:
“- for me?”
They’re both quiet for a moment before they both laugh. She holds it out a little further.
“I realized that.. I never got to make you one,” she says. “Back then. I should’ve.”
Riku shook his head. “It’s okay,” he says. When she gestures at him with it again, he carefully takes it from her. “I wasn’t exactly deserving of one back then. I know this was more of a thing between you and Sora.”
It doesn’t sound hurt. Probably because nobody looks at Riku like Sora does and now Riku knows it. It makes Kairi feel lighter, that Riku can be happy about that now.
“I guess some things happened back then,” Kairi says. “And we just never got around to fixing it.” To her embarrassment another tear slides down her cheek. She brushes it away. “Sorry!”
Riku shakes his head. “Don’t be,” he says. “It’s okay to cry.” He sounds just as earnest at nineteen as he did at seven but this time she doesn’t feel so bad so she rushes into a hug. He’s not little anymore. He’s not angry or frustrated anymore. He’s just Riku.
He wraps his arms around her and Kairi smiles into his shoulder so wide her face hurts.
“Thank you for this,” he says. She doesn’t know if he means the hug or the charm. He sounds like she gave him something priceless. “I’m really happy you’re my friend, Kairi.”
And just like that, he gives something priceless back to her.
He’s smiling when they seperate. She helps him pack the rest of his things and smiles when she sees him put the charm in his pocket.
“Keep an eye on Sora, okay?” Riku says and the fact that his thoughts always circle back to Sora makes Kairi so happy.
She nods and holds up a determined fist. “You better bring that back!” She says. “I worked really hard on it.”
Riku salutes her and nods. “You got it!”
After he leaves, Kairi smiles.
It feels like it’s going to be a good day.

Kingdom Hearts Predictions
Everyone is trying to come up with a way to stop the eternal clash between light and darkness, but are taking different paths to find the answer. Apparently only Sora has the real answer or, at least, is the key to finding and acting it out. Personally, I think the answer is as simple as love because duh, love is the answer to many things, especially when dealing with Disney. I think Sora’s role is to teach everyone’s heart on how to love, once he has found it out himself. It’s canon information that Sora doesn’t understand it yet. If he is the key to their survival like King Mickey was telling everyone he was, then he needs to understand love first. Riku may also be another key to the puzzle because he made great strides to be the only person to walk either light nor darkness, but somewhere in between. He works with darkness instead of shunning it. Riku’s role might be to teach Sora about the darkness within him, guiding him to be like Riku, or maybe something better. By loving yourself, your light qualities and dark qualities, too.
They will answer the meteor shower promise. If it was really made only between Sora and Riku, then the story has to give us the answers to the following questions. What that promise was made between Riku and Sora? Why was a charm given and if it was the crown necklace? Who made the promise to who? Or was it an equal exchange of promises? The other person who knows the truth of what happen that night is Namine. Sora forgot that he had fogotten AND THEN forgets again! Riku remembers though. Remember in KH3 during his first visit in the RoD to save Aqua, he says, “‘Strength to protect what matters…’ It reminds me of a promise I made,” The only reason I don’t think he was referring to Terra is because the only promises we hear made that day was Terra telling Riku to keep his bequeathing a secret. Riku telling The King about his bequeathing won’t really impact anything, so…yeah. Anyway, maybe that’s why Sora still hasn’t been able to say thank you to Namine. He still doesn’t know what he should really be thanking her for. He just knows that’s something he has to check off his box. If I was to guess, when Sora does remember he will thank Namine for restoring that tampered with memory.
We will get closure on the hidden misery and despair Riku is still experiencing. We are all assuming it’s unrequited love and him suppressing how he feels toward Sora. I say this because Riku says he changed from being the big brother figure to Sora, but don’t know when that happened.
Tumblr media
KH Character Files, Riku’s story.
And Sora saying something similar after comparing Elsa and Anna’s love for each between Him and Riku. He thinks the love he feels for Riku is different than Anna and Elsa’s love. It isn’t the love they share between two siblings.

-taking Riku and shaking him like a doll- TELL ME YOUR SECRETS
8 notes · View notes

Stuff I noticed in the Future Redeemed Trailer
- Glimmer has an attack based on a cello/bass, making her musical inclined along with her sister!
- Fucking. *kingdom heard voice* Riku’s here. TELL ME YOUR SECRETS SIR
- A’s sword is just straight up called Monado apparently and in the scene where she stabs a Moebius it glows and has the symbol the Monado would have. Definitely probably a weaker or maybe sealed version of it. We know the Monado changes shape and appearance depending on the wielder, maybe it’s meant to be more Alvis’ style, or whoever A is if she’s not just Alvis or a version of him.
- Her class is also Monado Fencer! So I guess her Monado is technically a rapier? It’s a bit thick and not exactly the right shape, but I suppose it somewhat checks out? 
- They fight N at prison island, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s an endgame or near endgame area. I dunno if it’ll be THE final fight, but I could see it locking us into the endgame.
- Na’el’s outfit has some OG Monado references in it with the little wings, it does give me Fiora vibes a bit but I’m not sure if that’s meant to be a purposeful connection. I saw someone bring up that rather than literally fusing with Alvis or A, it could be the sort of equivalent to the Artifices in 2 where they had replicas of the Aegis core crystals on them and her armor is essentially acting as an Artifice and powering her through Alvis’ power? Perhaps.
- A’s core crystal isn’t connected to her skin which definitely implies some funky things about her, but it also means that if it’s taken from her she might be mostly ok. So Na’el having the genuine Ontos core also isn’t out of the question.
- You fight a Fog Beast in the trailer! Can I just say I called Alvis being associated with the black fog and thus opposing Moebius because of the portal? I am ON that shit.
- Shulk says the line about Melia saying “it was a gift from Alvis” and then cuts to the Liberators camp. Makes me wonder if he had something to do with the area? Maybe hiding it from Moebius or making the area available to begin with?
- Also while it’s just one line part of me feels like it implies a certain neutrality/gratefulness to Alvis so I wouldn’t be surprised if, in the case A is some sealed away version of him, that they defeated or weakened him, that happened, and they consider themselves to be on. Decent terms now??? It’ll be interesting to see how they regard A.

Tsumugi: You’re going to go out today, right?
Iori: Yes. I went as far as Akihabara(1) to buy Christmas presents.
Tsumugi: It’s for exchanging gifts during the party!
Is your exchange partner Nagi-san?
Iori: You're correct. It was decided by ladder lottery. (2)
Tsumugi:
Tumblr media
Tsumugi: I thought of it when you said you went to Akihabara! (laugh)
Iori: It was a Kokona limited merchandise that you can only buy onsite.
Iori: He was emitting a bad aura for the past few days because he had to go to work on the release day.
Tsumugi: I see… That’s why you kept asking me for Nagi-san’s schedule.
Tsumugi:
Tumblr media
Iori: I’m glad I bought it successfully.
CHOICE
1. Was the queue really long?
Iori: I went there after researching about it, but it wasn’t long.
I realized Kokona’s popularity due to the competition in distribution of numbered tickets.
2. Did you buy anything else?
Iori: I came across a King Pudding ornament and bought it.
Yotsuba-san was happy and decorated it on the Christmas tree, so please give it a look once you come over.
3. What kind of merch did you buy?
Iori: It was a chibi figure(3) wearing a Santa Claus costume.
I finally understood Rokuya-san’s boast, “Kokona’s cheerful smile is cute.”
Tsumugi: It’s no mistake that Nagi-san will be very happy!
Iori: I look forward to his reaction on the appointed day.
Tsumugi:
Tumblr media
Tsumugi: Huh?
Tsumugi: That reminds me, a moment ago Riku-san told me both of you will go out. Are you two going shopping?
Iori: Eh.
Iori: Ah, I’m going to meet him later. Since I’m pretty near.
Tsumugi: I see!
He told me the two of you ate lunch together. I thought he asked you to spend the day off together.
Iori: It just happened that we haven’t eaten lunch yet so we had to go out.
Tsumugi:
Tumblr media
Iori: Did Nanase-san tell you anything else?
Tsumugi: He asked me about the President and Banri-san’s recent happenings.
Tsumugi: Also, he told me that Tamaki-san seemed troubled on what present he could give to a girl in the facility and seek his advice.
Iori: Huh.
Iori: I see…
Iori: He certainly mentioned something of that sort before.
Iori: I’m sorry, I remembered an errand.
I’ll contact you later.
Tsumugi: Y-Yes!
Tsumugi:
Tumblr media

TL notes:
1 - Akihabara is a district in central Tokyo famous for its otaku culture. The market is focused on anime, manga, and video games. This is where Tokyo Big Sight (where ComiKet, Comic Market, is held) is located.
2 - Ladder lottery. Lottery in which participants trace a line across a lattice pattern to determine the winner (jisho.org)
3 - The Japanese dialogue is literally "distortion figure." The "distortion" word is borrowed from the French word "déformer." These figures are typically small in size, hence the use of "chibi"... which means small in Japanese.
