[he wasn't really expecting anything for Valentine's Day, but instead of just getting something from Sora, he'd gotten something from Vanitas too.

even though it was something really fucking stupid too, but Riku thinks he can play at that game.

he'd gotten Sora a small basket of his favorite sweets, and Vanitas a bag of what looked to be coal. the "coal" was actually a wrapped up combination of dark and milk chocolates, and he totally realizes he should've done this for Christmas.

but he's doing it now.

he doesn't leave them a card or anything, because he doesn't know what to say. or even if he wants to say anything at all. if those two thought someone else gave them these things... it's fine. he's not going to complain about it.

it was evening, so he was pretty hopeful that Sora and Vanitas were out or something, so he wouldn't be noticed. so he's going to try to slip away when he makes his delivery...]

[There goes Sora and Vanitas' weird gremlin mind link again because he pouts at Vanitas more than he does at Riku. Sure, he's happy that Riku is eating his cupcakes but he's also a little annoyed that Vanitas might be right.

Yeah, this is a weird little experiment.

The truth is... Sora now wonders just how much Riku might like spending time with the both of them. They haven't really spent a lot of time together like this- all three of them. But honestly... If Riku does like Sora or Vanitas he thinks it might just be nice if they could spend time together?

Sora and Vanitas have already come to the conclusion that they both like Riku. More than like him. They were okay with getting a kiss from him. So...]

We just wanna spend a little time with you, Riku.

[👀]

[darkcharge]

Yeah... Don't read too much into it.

[ Even though there is definitely more to it. Sora and Vanitas have talked about this in length, of course. Somehow there hadn't been any hurt feelings - not really. Sora had been a little more than excited that he and Vanitas had a shared experience, of sorts. This might not have been what anyone had in mind when Sora wanted them all to get along.

But here they are.

Vanitas just shrugs, an easy smirky sort of grin on his features. ]

It's just an inside thing. For now.

[these two always give him some sort of migraine.]

That doesn't settle any of my doubts about this, you know.

[not at all...

there's a brief moment of hesitation, because for a moment he doesn't know if he should just go for it.

but he'll go for it.]

Go ahead and spill.

[That's a migraine of ~love~]

It's not weird or anything! It's not!!

[He elbows Vanitas in the side. Shhh.]

You should just try Vanitas' pancakes too, okay? We want to share this stuff with you.

[Today of all days.]

[darkcharge]

Yeah, don't worry about it, Riri. Just enjoy the company. It's a pretty special day, right?

[ No reason to be suspicious! They are just here to have a good time. Share in sweet treats. Discern where affection may lie. ]

[he'll stay suspicious by virtue of the two gremlins in front of him.

but he'll continue to humor them, at least until he figures out what they're up to. so he'll try Vanitas' pancakes next, nodding his approval.]

They're both pretty sweet... but they're good.

[he'll probably finish them too, courteous boy that he is.]
